After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

After Lu Yuan was fully prepared, he could set off for the cold palace.

This time, Lu Zhaoyan insisted on letting him take Ji Feng with him no matter what.

Yu Zichuan was also among the entourage.

"Master, I will go down first."

Ji Feng said while standing outside the dry well.

Lu Yuan said: "I'll go down first and see if anyone has been in before us."

Ji Feng thought about it and stepped aside.

Several people brought ropes to prevent themselves from falling and touching the mechanism.

Ji Feng pulled the rope and lowered Lu Yuan into the dry well little by little.

Lu Yuan held up the fire starter and saw that he had hooked a barely noticeable silk thread near the bottom of the well.

This is the mark given by Chen Long.

The fact that it was not destroyed means that it was not taken advantage of by the minions of Prince Jin and Hu Lie.

"Okay, come on down."

After Lu Yuan said this, he loosened the rope.

Accompanied by a rumbling sound, Lu Yuan disappeared at the bottom of the well.

Ji Feng and Yu Zichuan jumped into the dry well without any hesitation.

After falling into the secret passage, the three people discovered that the secret passage in the cold palace was longer than they had imagined.

Several people were walking forward in the dark secret passage, with Ji Feng leading the way and Yu Zichuan bringing up the rear.

"Master, I'm afraid we have already walked out of the palace."

Ji Feng said.

Lu Yuan hummed and said, "There might be a palace underground."

Ji Feng fell into deep thought.

Lu Yuan asked, "You have followed my royal grandfather for so long, and you have never heard of this secret passage?"

Ji Feng replied: “No.”

"Your father doesn't know either."

Yu Zichuan spoke.

Lu Yuan: "You're talking so much, have you eaten too much salt?"

Free!

Yu Zichuan thought about it seriously and said, "The kitchen did put too much salt today."

After walking for a while, Ji Feng stopped.

"Master, we are at a fork in the road. There are three roads in total. Which one should we take?"

"middle."

"Yes."

Ji Feng continued to lead the way.

After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "Master, do you know the way to the underground palace?"

Lu Yuan: “Just a blind guess.”

Ji Feng: “…”

The few of them passed seven forks in the road in this way, and Lu Yuan always only took the middle one.

Ji Feng hesitated several times and said: "Master, isn't this too rough..."

Lu Yuan: “We’re here.”

"Yes."

Ji Feng finished the last word silently.

An ancient and quiet palace caught his eye.

The gate of the palace is inlaid with hundreds of luminous pearls, illuminating the place like moonlight.

The two stone lions opened their mouths majestically.

The one on the left was holding a night-shining pearl that was almost as big as a bowl.

“Why doesn’t this one have one?”

Yu Zichuan pointed at the stone lion on the right, revealing a look of deep bitterness and hatred.

Lu Yuan took out the night pearl without saying a word.

Ji Feng looked at the two of them strangely.

Lu Yuan threw the Night Pearl to Ji Feng and said, "Let's go."

Ji Feng looked at the night pearl in his hand and his eyes twitched.

Yu Zichuan: "Where did the first one go?"

Lu Yuan said without hesitation: "The old man took it away."

Ji Feng: "He really is... my grandson."

The accident happened after entering the underground palace.

They accidentally touched a mechanism, and Yu Zichuan and Ji Feng disappeared.

Lu Yuan didn't stop, picked up the night pearl on the ground and continued moving forward.

Not long after he left, a murderous aura hit him in the face.

Lu Yuan stepped onto the wall and dodged the attack in mid-air.

As soon as he landed, the opponent's sword energy followed.

Lu Yuan said: "Enough, it's me."

"I know it's you."

Chen Long placed his heavy sword on Lu Yuan's neck.

Lu Yuan chuckled and said, "Murdering your own brother-in-law?"

As he spoke, he looked behind Chen Long and said, "If you want to watch the fun, just watch it openly. Why are you sneaking around and trying to take the opportunity to escape?"

Lu Qi was hit on the heart of the matter and walked out from behind the Panlong Pillar unwillingly.

The place where they were at this moment looked a bit like an abandoned temple, with nothing in it.

Chen Long put away his sword and looked at Lu Qi coldly.

Lu Qi hurriedly asked, "Is it okay if I don't run away?"

Chen Long put away his sword.

Lu Qi questioned Lu Yuan, "Why are you here too? Do you know that you can't get out of here? Why are you doing this?"

Lu Yuan pointed at Chen Long with a half-smile: "Didn't he tell you?"

Lu Qi muttered, "What do you expect this big block of ice to tell me? What tricks do you use to kill people?"

Lu Yuan sighed. It seemed that this kid had been tortured badly by Chen Long.

Lu Qi held his stomach and asked, "Did you see Gong Fang on the way here?"

"Oh, over there."

Lu Yuan pointed back.

Lu Qi said to Chen Long, "I'm going to the bathroom, if you're worried just follow me."

Chen Long didn't follow.

After half a minute, Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows and said, "He escaped."

Chen Long's face darkened.

Lu Qi did escape.

Ever since he fell into Chen Long's clutches, he had been thinking about escaping all the time. Unfortunately, Chen Long's martial arts skills were too high, and it was impossible for him to escape under his nose.

Lu Yuan's arrival today made Chen Long a little arrogant, which gave him an opportunity to take advantage of.

He shuttled quickly in the underground palace.

However, what he never expected was that just as he was about to cross a single-plank bridge over a dry pond, he was suddenly strangled by the neck by a dark shadow and fell heavily to the bottom of the pond.

He felt a sharp pain in his back and felt as if his internal organs had shifted out of place.

The man's hands were still tightly around his neck.

He was wearing a mask, breathing strangely, and his bloodthirsty eyes showed no trace of life.

What on earth is this?!

Lu Qi tried to deflect his hand.

But no matter how hard he tried, it was still in vain.

The veins on his forehead were throbbing and cold sweat was breaking out.

Gradually, he couldn't breathe, his face turned blue and purple, and his lips turned black.

Is...he going to die here?

If I had known this earlier... I would have...

At the moment of death, a terrifying sword energy, with the aura of splitting mountains and calming the seas, fiercely attacked the black-clothed man on the back.

The man in black tried to receive the sword energy with his bare hands.

Lu Qi's eyes were stunned.

This guy must be crazy!

The sword energy shattered the sleeves of the man in black, revealing his sturdy arms covered with tattoos.

The man in black shook his body and let go of Lu Qi.

Lu Yuan leaped forward and carried Lu Qi onto the arch bridge.

Lu Qi caught his breath, held onto the arch bridge, and began to cough violently.

Lu Yuan said to Chen Long: "We are leaving first. I will leave this medicine man to you."

Before Lu Qi could catch his breath, Lu Yuan used his lightness skills to carry him away.

Lu Yuan walked all the way to a cemetery before stopping.

Lu Qi sat on the ground, panting.

Lu Yuan looked at the stone tablets in front of him with interest, with a thoughtful look on his face.

After Lu Qi had a trip to the King of Hell's Palace, his mind was completely numb.

He panted and asked, "Did you just say medicine man?"

Lu Yuan looked at a stone tablet and replied calmly, "Never heard of it?"

Lu Qi frowned, "I heard that the Medicine King often tests his medicine on humans. Over time, he has a group of masters who are immune to all poisons and are different from ordinary people. They have no humanity, no memory, and no pain. They are murderous demons."

Lu Yuan said: "Almost."

Lu Qi asked bluntly: "Why did the people from Medicine King Valley want to kill me?"

Lu Yuan said calmly: "The medicine man in Medicine King Valley can be bought."

Lu Qi paused and said, "Then who would buy the medicine man from Medicine King Valley to kill me?"

Lu Yuan walked towards the next tombstone: "Anyway, it's not the Prince's Mansion."

It was rare that Lu Qi did not refute.

Because, if you want to kill him, one Chenlong would be enough, there is no need to go through so much trouble.

But he was in the imperial city and seemed to have no other enemies.

"Do you know something?"

He asked Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan waved at him: "Come and take a look."

He didn't answer his question. Lu Qi was a little dissatisfied. After frowning, he finally got up and left.

It was at this moment that he finally realized that they were in a cemetery.

His incredulous gaze swept across the tombstones one after another: "These..."

Lu Yuan said: "It seems to be a member of the Lu family who has made great contributions to the Qin Palace throughout the ages."

Lu Qi was shocked and said, "Lu clan members, could this be..."

Lu Yuan nodded: "Yes, it is the imperial mausoleum, the real imperial mausoleum."

There is a Feng Shui treasure land for burying the deceased in the Qin Palace in the southwest. After Emperor Liang founded the country, he immediately turned the Feng Shui treasure land into an imperial mausoleum.

But who would have thought that it was just a trick.

The real imperial tomb was actually located under the cold palace.

No, they walked for a long time to get here.

It is far away from the imperial palace, with only an entrance somewhere in the cold palace.

"Lu Yuan, we can't get out."

Lu Qi said calmly.

Lu Yuan looked at him with amusement: "Where is the energy you had to escape just now? You changed too quickly, didn't you?"

“This is the imperial tomb.”

Lu Qi said, "Have you ever seen an imperial mausoleum of any country that you can walk out of? Unless there is a royal family——"

"King Rui is dead."

Lu Yuan said.

Lu Qi was shocked again.

Lu Yuan said nonchalantly: "Prince Rui should be qualified to be buried in the imperial mausoleum."

Lu Qi asked seriously: "Tell me the truth, what happened in the Imperial City?!"

Lu Yuan met his gaze playfully: "Do you really want to hear it?"

Lu Qi clenched his fingers.

Lu Yuan found a step and sat down: "My grandfather suddenly recovered his memory and fought with my grandfather, the Miao King, in the palace. He accidentally fell down the secret passage. Your father and your uncle took the opportunity to seal the mechanism and seize the throne."

Lu Qi's nails almost dug into his palm.

Lu Yuan took in his reaction and said, "I'm not surprised. It seems you have already guessed your father's ambition."

Lu Qi asked, "You brought me into the underground palace just to get my father to open the entrance to the underground palace?"

Lu Yuan said: "The dry well in the cold palace cannot fit the coffin, so there must be a real entrance to the imperial mausoleum, which must have been controlled by your father and Hu Lie. You guessed right, you are indeed the bait. You are his only son, he will definitely let you out."

"Since King Rui is dead, why bother doing this?"

"I don't know when the coffin will be moved to the imperial mausoleum after the burial and the sutras are chanted. We can't wait."

Lu Yuan stood up and dusted off his body. "Have you rested enough? If you have, then let's get going."

Lu Qi said self-deprecatingly: "He won't open the entrance to the imperial mausoleum for me."

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "You know your heartless father very well. Without you, he will only have obstacles in ascending the throne, but if he releases Your Majesty for this reason, he will surely die. Between two evils, choose the lesser of two evils. Ignoring you is the best choice for the King of Jin."

Lu Qi frowned: "Then you still——"

Lu Yuan said calmly: "But Hu Lie doesn't think so. Hu Lie will save you."

Lu Qi didn't know much about his great uncle, but he had the impression that he loved him very much and taught him everything he knew without reservation.

He asked curiously, "Isn't he afraid that the Emperor will punish him?"

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "He is afraid. So, he will send people to sneak into the imperial mausoleum and kill the emperor's grandfather to cut off the source of the trouble."

Lu Qi was stunned.

During the conversation, a familiar murderous aura approached.

It turned out to be the medicine man who almost took Lu Qi's life and caught up with him again.

Lu Yuan and Lu Qi retreated to the sides at the same time.

Lu Qi asked suspiciously: "Didn't Chen Long kill him either? Could it be that Chen Long has already--"

Lu Yuan: "He's a tough guy, but my brother-in-law is lucky and won't die."

Judging from his experience along the way, it was most likely that the two of them triggered the mechanism of the underground palace during the fight, and Chen Long was separated from him.

Lu Yuan started to fight with the opponent.

The opponent has no weapons, so a pair of iron palms are better than magic weapons.

He grabbed Lu Yuan's chest with one claw.

Lu Yuan pushed him away in time and was not injured, but the bag on his back was caught and flew away.

The man in black's deadly moves followed one after another.

Lu Yuan had to deal with it with all his strength.

Lu Qi escaped again.

Lu Yuan was fighting fiercely with the man in black, but he heard some noise and the man in black suddenly turned around and left.

Lu Yuan guessed that he sensed Chen Long's breath and chased after Chen Long to fight him again.

Lu Yuan brushed off the dust on his wide sleeves and straightened his slightly messy collar.

When I turned around, I saw Lu Qi standing behind a tombstone with an expressionless face.

Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows: "You didn't leave?"

Lu Qi threw the bag in his arms to Lu Yuan: "I don't like to owe favors to others."

Lu Yuan didn't say that he could find it himself.

Because after he opened the bundle, he saw at a glance that the things in the bundle were covered with dust and grass, and it was not difficult to imagine that they were scattered all over the ground.

In the underground palace full of traps, it is very dangerous to find them all one by one.

"Thanks."

Lu Yuan put the bag back on his back.

"You go."

Just as he finished speaking, a cursing voice came from not far away.

"Are you kidding me? Why is it me again? The child is yours, but the dirty work is mine, right? I owe you this! Do you dare to put the child down and fight with me?"

"Grandpa?"

Lu Yuan's voice suddenly appeared behind him.

Just as King Miao was about to punch Emperor Liang, he suddenly felt as if struck by lightning. His whole body shook and he turned around in shock.

"Mom! What the hell! Why did I see my grandson? Am I so hungry that I'm dizzy and dazed?"

Emperor Liang was already extremely weak, and he sat in the towering palace holding a sleeping child in his arms, like a dying emperor, looking back at his unfulfilled ambitions with his last bit of strength.

The Miao King's fist fell down softly.

The dry food they brought with them accidentally fell into the machine, and he and the old man hadn't eaten for several days.

Is he really starving?

Not only did I see my grandson, I also saw a big chicken drumstick.

"Hey."

He lay on the ground and pulled Liang Di's clothes weakly, "Do you smell it?"

Emperor Liang did not respond.

He lowered his head and maintained his stiff body in a protective posture for the child.

The child's breathing is shallow.

And he was no longer breathing.

Lu Qi's eyes turned red, and he knelt down: "Grandfather——"

Emperor Liang pinched his mouth and said, "It's so noisy."
