Your Majesty, please beg for mercy. The prince's rebellion was successful.

Ding Mao took Zhou Zheng towards the back hill of the thatched house.

Although this is the top of Guigu Ridge, the layout and structure are quite strange. The deeper you go, the more it seems like a small world.

Fortunately, Ding Mao was extremely familiar with this place and there were no problems along the way.

Zhou Zheng, on the other hand, was cautious, holding the pistol tightly and pointing the gun secretly at Ding Mao.

If there is really a problem, even if he dies, he will hold Ding Mao on his back.

After twisting and turning all the way, we finally stopped in front of a cave.

The dark cave entrance looked a bit gloomy and strange under the moonlight.

From time to time, the night wind blew by, making bursts of creaking sounds, which sounded a little creepy.

"Shadow, it's inside."

Ding Mao pointed to the entrance of the cave, with the same cautious expression on his face, and spoke cautiously.

Zhou Zheng's pupils expanded slightly, and then he leaned forward, trying to see clearly what was inside. Unfortunately, it was so dark that he couldn't see his fingers.

Not to mention seeing shadows, nothing can be seen in the dark world.

Tsk tsk tsk! ! !

Ding Mao had expected it, so he lit the fire stick and placed it at the entrance of the cave.

The light from the fire was not very powerful, but it could barely illuminate the things in the cave entrance.

I saw a figure sitting cross-legged.

This figure is like a sculpture, with long hair, and its appearance cannot be clearly seen.

But the cold breath emanating from his body and the familiar smell made Zhou Zheng's heart skip a beat.

shadow!

That’s right, it’s the shadow!

But at this time, the shadow no longer looked the same as when Zhou Zheng first saw it.

His hair was disheveled, his body was extremely weak, and his skinny appearance made people feel distressed at first glance.

God knows how he survived being trapped in here for three months.

The dazzling light shining in the dark night made the shadow with closed eyes feel a little uncomfortable.

He slowly opened his eyes, murderous intent surged, cold light flashed, and they looked at each other, giving people a chilling feeling.

Especially Ding Mao, when their eyes met, he involuntarily stepped back a little.

Gollum!

Swallowing his saliva, even though he knew it was impossible for the shadow to escape from the cave, Ding Mao was still very flustered when he saw the lustful look in his eyes.

"Three months!"

"Anyone else would have died!"

"I didn't expect that he was still alive."

Gritting his teeth, Ding Mao became even more afraid of the shadow.

When he finished speaking, Shadow's eyes finally turned to Zhou Zheng.

At this glance, the bloodthirsty killing intent suddenly changed into an icy light.

There are surprises, surprises, confusions, and incomprehensions.

Obviously, Shadow couldn't figure out why Zhou Zheng would appear here, and he couldn't even figure out why Zhou Zheng was standing next to Gui Guzi.

Or is it all Zhou Zheng's deliberate design?

But, it doesn’t make sense.

"Junior, you're late!"

Zhou Zheng was moved in his heart. Shadow was Xiao Qing's last assistant left to Zhou Zheng. It was precisely because of Shadow that Zhou Zheng was able to control the palace so easily.

This is the kind of person who is willing to go through fire and water for Xiao Qing, but now he almost died in this unknown cave.

When he thought of this, Zhou Zheng felt a sore nose.

Then, Zhou Zheng took a step back and bowed deeply towards Shadow.

This action immediately stunned Ding Mao.

What does it mean! ?

Shadow was the most trusted person by Emperor Tianjing, and this time he came to Guigu Ridge in Yangcheng to kill Guiguzi under the order of Emperor Tianjing.

It stands to reason that given the relationship between Zhou Zheng and Emperor Tianjing, Shadow will definitely kill Zhou Zheng when he finds an opportunity.

But why, now it seems that the relationship between the two is good.

No one noticed Ding Mao's shock.

Shadow, on the other hand, had a smile on his face when he saw Zhou Zheng's actions.

He knew that Zhou Zheng's words were enough to prove that Zhou Zheng still had feelings for Shadow.

Looking at this young man who looked very similar to Xiao Qing, Shadow looked pleased.

He wanted to stand up, but his legs were numb and he couldn't move.

"Let him out!"

Zhou Zheng also noticed this subtle change, turned his head and spoke in a low voice.

"Prince, this is a truly strong man, he kills without blinking an eye!"

"If we let him go, we're afraid..."

Ding Mao was still a little hesitant.

But when he turned around and saw the determination in Zhou Zheng's eyes, he finally sighed.

He didn't know why Zhou Zheng had such an attitude towards a person who obeyed Emperor Tianjing's words, but he respected Zhou Zheng a little more in his heart.

Traveling thousands of miles to this Guigu Ridge, I came here alone just for the shadow.

This feeling alone is by no means something ordinary people can compare to.

"it is good!"

With a sinking heart, Ding Mao knew that Zhou Zheng was definitely not seeking death.

Then he walked sideways to the entrance of the cave, stretched out his palm and pressed down hard.

Bang bang bang! ! !

Immediately, a series of muffled sounds came, and the rock where the palm was placed collapsed on the spot and turned into a mechanism.

Ding Mao's palm twisted in a certain way.

Every time he twisted, he heard a series of rustling sounds of iron collisions.

Zhou Zheng also widened his eyes.

Because he saw with his own eyes, two chains like giant pythons slowly appeared from the ground.

The end of the cold iron chain, which was as thick as an arm, was Shadow's legs.

It turns out that this is the real reason why Shadow is trapped.

"This is the trap left by Guiguzi!"

"No matter how strong a person is, as long as he enters this cave, when his feet touch the ground, he will fall into the mechanism. His legs will be locked by ice chains."

Ding Mao explained quite proudly.

This ice iron chain is different from ordinary iron chains. It is so hard that it cannot be broken by a simple weapon.

In other words, once he is locked, unless he is released with a mechanism, the gods will not be able to save him.

Zhou Zheng didn't speak, but he slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

If Shadow really died in Guigu Ridge, he was afraid that he would blame himself to the extreme.

As the mechanism started to work, the ice chains that locked Shadow's legs were finally loosened.

Feeling that his body had lost its confinement, Shadow suddenly raised his head.

Without any nonsense, he rushed directly to Ding Mao regardless of his physical discomfort.

The five fingers turned into sharp weapons and headed straight for Ding Mao's throat.

Huge murderous intent shrouded him, and it was obvious that he was not prepared to give Ding Mao any chance.

The sudden change made Ding Mao freeze in place.

The oppressive feeling of death even prevented him from speaking a word.

"Senior, stop!"

Zhou Zheng frowned and spoke quickly when he saw this.

When these words were spoken, the shadow had already strangled Ding Mao's throat.

The suffocating pressure made Ding Mao's eyes filled with panic and panic.

He knew very well that once he fell into the hands of the shadow, there would be no possibility of survival!

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Zhou Zheng spoke.

"Prince, he is not Guiguzi!"

Shadow's pupils were slightly condensed, and his voice was extremely hoarse!

"I know."

Zhou Zheng responded slowly.
