Chapter 173 Mysterious Dungeon
When I was stunned and had nothing to do, Zhuque covered his mouth and laughed: "I'm joking with you. It's important to do serious things. If something goes wrong with the empire, won't the Qinglong and White Tiger blame me?"
I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said goodbye to the five guardian beasts again, and just left the Qilin Temple. To be honest, it would be hypocritical to ask me to repeat a theory for the second time, and Yunhu was not here.
But then again, one day I should really tease Yunhu. His charm is really great. The dignified Zhuque is so obsessed with him. It’s a pity that the fallen flowers are intentional, but the flowing water is always very ruthless.
After leaving the Qilin Temple, the first stop I came to was Xuanwu City. Although the guy from Jiuji National Master should not know what I and the four guardian beasts should be about rescuing the Dark Qilin, if you want to understand the progress of the abdication ceremony, this should be the most direct method in Dongfangbi.
But when I came to the city lord's mansion, Dongfang Bi was no longer there. Master Ma told me that Dongfang Bi and Nangong Hong had already gone to the imperial capital because the abdication ceremony would be held soon, which means I had less than a day to rescue His Majesty the King.
The permission to teleport to the imperial capital has been closed, which should be one of the reasons why Dongfang Bi and Nangong Hong went out one day in advance?
Fortunately, I had a teleportation ring. Through several intermittent teleportation, I had arrived at the long-lost imperial capital. There was no change from the imperial capital I remembered. The residents of the imperial capital did not take any different measures because the king wanted to abdicate. There was a prosperous scene everywhere.
But how do I determine if there is a fake king in power now?
After thinking about it, I thought of the Baoyang King...
"Stop, this is Baoyang Palace, and idle people cannot wait to enter!" The guards guarding the gate blocked my legs that were conscious of the way.
I responded with a smile: "I'll bother this elder brother to inform me, and then say... uh... and say Tianyi is asking for a meeting."
He looked up and down in confusion, and the two guards looked at each other, one said to the other: "You are here to guard, I'll report it."
After a while, the guard who went in and informed ran out: "You can go in, the prince is waiting for you in the hall, come with me!"
I frowned slightly. I originally thought that based on my help to the Baoyang King's family, the Baoyang King should come out to greet him in person. Now it seems that I am really pretentious.
It seems that the prince is the prince after all, and I can understand that he did not come out to greet me. Following the guard, I soon met the still-like King Baoyang.
"You can go down!" In the hall, the King of Baoyang was the only one. The maid who should have stood beside him had nothing, and the guard who brought me in was immediately sent back by the King of Baoyang.
I waited for the passionate laughter of King Baoyang in Zhong, let alone a warm hug. Looking at King Baoyang's eyes staring at me, feeling the complexity, my frown did not let go. It seems that the airs of the royal relatives are really not small. In the future, I have to relax my throbbing heart. Don't think that you can worship a man with the divine beast, and you can call your brothers with the royal relatives.
But the slightest annoyance in my heart still couldn't be completely covered up. I put aside the meeting words I had originally thought of, and I bowed and said, "Caomin Tianyi has met the prince."
As his eyes flashed, the King of Baoyang responded in a deep voice: "What's the matter with me?"
I? When I first met, you would use the plain name "I" to represent yourself. Now I actually use "I" and I smiled bitterly and replied: "Prince, I would like to ask, when was the last time you met Your Majesty?"
"What do you mean?" King Baoyang looked at me with a cautious look, as if he was afraid that I would murder the king.
I am here to save the king. I didn't expect for a moment what made King Baoyang treat me like this. I responded helplessly: "I want to be sure that His Majesty the King will show up in the imperial capital on weekdays?"
"Tianyi, what conspiracy do you want to play?" Baoyang King suddenly stood up and glared at me and said, "I really didn't expect you to be such a person. I was really blind, back then..."
What do you care about? I am his benefactor. It would be fine if he doesn't treat me as a guest. I can't help but say such words, "Prince, what have I done? I'm making you so regretful?"
"Do you think I'm a fool?" The King of Baoyang's eyes became even more angry: "Your Majesty treats you very well. First, he appointed you as the God of Marshal of the Protector. You were actually ambitious to rebel. You are still embarrassed to pretend to be here. For the sake of you awakening my daughter, I will not make things difficult for you today. You go, no matter what conspiracy you have, don't want to use it here."
I felt relieved, and then I remembered that I was still a traitor. As the brother of the king today, a prince, not to mention that I only have such a little favor to their family, even if I have life-saving grace, he would not be on my side unless he also has ambitions.
Now it seems that King Baoyang has no ambition at all, and he did not ask anyone to arrest me at this time, which really sold me some face.
I was really uncomfortable after being suspected by Qinglong and him. Moreover, Qinglong and Baoyang King are both people who I think are unlikely to wear with my little shoes, but they both embarrass me...
But thinking about what I was going to ask before I could ask, I held back the discomfort and whispered: "Prince, I..."
"Stop saying anything, go!" Almost like Qinglong, the King of Baoyang no longer gave me a chance to speak, pointed to the bright door and scolded angrily: "If you don't leave, don't blame me for turning against others!"
"Okay... I will leave!" I suppressed the turbulent anger in my heart. I took out the white jade dragon pattern pendant and looked at the Baoyang King firmly and said, "This jade pendant was given to me by the prince. I will give it to you now, but I hope you will answer my question just now, otherwise you will definitely regret it!"
He caught the jade pendant that I threw with one hand. The King of Baoyang's cheeks motivated. He stared at the jade pendant for a moment and then looked at me: "I also saw Your Majesty this morning, Tianyi..."
The King of Baoyang wanted to speak but stopped. Finally, when he put down his hand holding the white jade dragon patterned pendant, he turned around and said, "You go, I hope you can do it yourself!"
I silently looked at the tall back of King Baoyang, and I let out a long breath and left a sentence when I turned around: "Goodbye, Prince!"
Although I got the information I needed in this industry, I was still a little disappointed when I thought of missing a friend in NPC... But when I jumped out, I couldn't help but feel relieved: Once I rescued the real king and dismantled the conspiracy of the Jiuji National Master, the Baoyang King would definitely know that he had completely blamed me today. By then, I think he would still be willing to be friends with me.
Keep moving forward, I found that this place seemed to be a prison cell. Some rooms with doors on both sides of the passage had even corrupt corpses. Some were left with only one corpse, while some were corrupting. In addition to some insects of fly type, there were mice gnawing on the carrion on the corpse. It was like a picture of hell on earth.
It is estimated that these are the officials in the empire who fought against Jiuji, the old bald donkey. Even Jiuji's conspiracy used by the king may have conducted many tests on them. The results of the tests are obviously that they have lost their value of living.
When I killed no less than twenty shadow wars one after another, I finally understood how big this dungeon was. As an independent cell, the entire dungeon had at least no less than two hundred prison rooms. How much Zhongliang had already been killed by this borer Jiuji? It was obvious from the number of this cell.
