[Rat cat] Long live the emperor

The bewitching monks who appeared suddenly just surrounded the Shili Pavilion, with the obvious purpose of burning Zhao Jue to death, and Cheng Ying protected Zhao Zhen from moving.

At this time, Zhan Zhao Bai Yutang appeared out of nowhere!

Bai Yutang stopped most of the demon monks one by one, Zhan Zhao jumped into the pavilion, and found that King Xiangyang had been engulfed in fire, Zhan Zhao wanted to find the wooden box that Zhao Zhen had left behind.Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were afraid of scaring the snake, so he didn't dare to get too close, and he couldn't hear the conversation between Zhao Jue and Zhao Zhen, but he knew that the box that Zhao Jue entrusted on his deathbed must be very important!

Zhao Jue was stopped by Cheng Ying and stomped his feet anxiously, "Come back quickly! Both of you come back!"

Seeing Zhan Zhao jumping into the fire, Bai Yutang was also anxious, no matter what kind of wooden box it was, it was not as important as Zhan Zhao!When the two left Shili Pavilion, the wooden girder collapsed and fell down. Zhan Zhao wanted to push Bai Yutang away, and Bai Yutang also wanted to push Zhan Zhao away. The two people who usually had a good understanding of each other actually held each other back!

In the end, Bai Yutang was unlucky and was hit in the back by a burning wooden beam. Zhan Zhao dragged him to a safe place and rolled on the ground several times to put out the fire. Zhan Zhao held Bai Yutang's dirty face and said nervously: " Yutang, are you alright!"

Bai Yutang blinked: Yutang is much more pleasing to the ears than Xiaobai!

Bai Yutang lay down weakly and pretended to be dead, "Cat, I'm fine..."

Zhan Zhao's face turned even paler, he was at a loss and did not dare to touch Bai Yutang, "Where are you hurt?"

Seeing that Zhan Zhao was so nervous, Bai Yutang felt numb in his heart. Just as he was about to explain, he saw Zhao Zhen folded his arms and said coldly, "Master, don't trust him! My soft armor is strong, durable, and extremely elastic. With such profound internal strength, and a cold physique that is not afraid of heat, how heavy it would be if you were hit by a piece of wood! He pretended to be dead to fool you!"

Zhan Zhao was in a state of panic just now, but now he looked carefully at Bai Yutang's face, apart from being a little dusty, he didn't look seriously injured!

Zhan Zhao turned away from Bai Yutang's face, turned around and carried Zhao Zhen up and down to check, "You are not injured, are you?"

Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "I'm fine~"

The neglected Bai Yutang held his cheeks in his hands and his heart was stuffy.

Zhan Zhao suddenly remembered something serious, "By the way, those demon monks!"

Zhao Zhen stretched out his hand and pointed, "When you two fell in love, the demon monk was subdued."

Zhan Zhao turned his head and saw soldiers in strange clothes tying up the ashen-faced demon monks. Most of the demon monks were burned by the fire, and two of their clothes were burnt to death.The demon monk's expression was terrified, and he automatically cooperated with the soldiers to tie him up, not even daring to resist.

Zhan Zhao wondered, "What's wrong with them, did they attempt suicide by setting fire to themselves?"

Zhao Zhen raised his tail and said triumphantly: "These soldiers are my secret army! The clothes they wear are camouflage outfits that are convenient for lurking, and the weapons they use are powerful new firearms. Every one of them is strong~ fierce~ awesome Great~ As for those demon monks..." Zhao Zhen's tone turned sharply, and he curled his lips in displeasure and said, "The demon monk was stunned by the firearm, and after burning his clothes, he yelled 'Heaven Fire' and begged for mercy."

A rare opportunity to practice!Sorry!

Except for Zhao Zhen who was sighing, everyone was speechless.

The red bean paste bun Zhao Xiaozhen is too cruel, only the appearance is soft and cute, and a slight lick will burn the tongue.

Zhao Zhen's secret army was very powerful, half of them took the demon monk away for interrogation, and half of them stayed to put out the fire.Zhao Zhen clutched the ring in his hand, looked at the raging fire, and gradually became depressed.Some people are better off dead, but you are reluctant...

Cheng Ying was wary of the middle-aged man left behind by Zhao Jue, "Your Majesty, the demon monk and the King of Xiangyang must still have accomplices. Do you want to search the mountain?"

Zhao Zhen sighed: "It's too late, the people behind the scenes are very thoughtful and ruthless, every time we grab a branch, he will cut down the whole big tree, no matter whether it's the demon monk or the king of Xiangyang, the people behind the scenes will not leave alive .Both will suffer, and the fisherman will gain. We are the ones who collect the corpses..."

Zhao Zhen saw black smoke rising from the forest not far away, "Send someone to search there, if you're lucky, you can leave a whole body."

Zhan Zhao asked Zhao Zhen, "That wooden box is very important, it must have been burned to ashes in such a big fire."

Before Zhao Zhen could open his mouth, the middle-aged man suddenly said, "That's the prince's painstaking effort for the rest of his life! It's him who has collected 20 years of criminal evidence behind the scenes! You lost it!" The middle-aged man unabashedly resented Zhao Zhen, "You actually dropped it!"

Zhao Zhen looked at him quietly, "What right do you have to question me, isn't that wooden box empty?"

"Empty?!" Everyone exclaimed in a low voice.

Bai Yutang said: "The King of Xiangyang will not lie to you before he dies."

Zhao Zhen closed her eyes and said, "The wooden box is too light. I knew it was empty as soon as I picked it up, so I didn't open it on the spot."

Zhao Zhen looked at the middle-aged man with cold eyes, "Zhao Jue won't lie to me, so someone must have lied to Zhao Jue. This person who has access to the wooden box must be the person Zhao Jue trusted most in his life. He entrusted me to take care of you, and he also hoped that you would marry a wife and have children and die peacefully..."

The middle-aged man suddenly started to tremble, Zhao Zhen just said flatly, "You did it."

There is no anger in these four words, but it makes people feel distressed.

The middle-aged man raised his bloodshot eyes, "It's me, I have served the prince for 32 years, and the meaning of my existence is to kill him!" The man pressed Zhao Zhen word by word: "You know the box is empty! Why don't you open it! Why don't you ask!"

How can it be possible to have no feelings after being together day and night for 32 years!

The old master let him deceive Zhao Jue into trusting him, so he tricked himself into serving Zhao Jue as his master. If he wanted to deceive Zhao Jue, he had to deceive himself first.He thought he had lied well, he thought he could hold on, he stabbed Zhao Jue fatally, and that knife pierced his heart deeply...

The difference is that Zhao Jue died with a clear conscience, but he never dared to do so for the rest of his life.

The old master has treated him with great kindness, so be loyal!

Zhao Jue never owed him anything, the essence!

The dilemma between loyalty and righteousness almost drove him crazy.So he thought of a compromise. He stole the contents of the wooden box according to the old owner's order, and returned the empty wooden box to Zhao Jue. As long as Zhao Jue found the wooden box was empty, he would know--I A shameful traitor.

When the time comes, I will admit that I will be killed or cut!

But Zhao Jue didn't find out, Zhao Zhen found out but didn't ask, why didn't he ask?

The man was in such a turmoil that he lost his temper and hurt the inner palace. He spat out a mouthful of hot blood and fell down slowly while clutching his heart.

Zhan Zhao stepped forward to help him get acupuncture points, but Zhao Zhen just stood by and looked at him coldly.

The middle-aged man looked at Zhao Zhen stubbornly, "Why don't you open the box."

"Why do you want to open it?" Zhao Zhen asked him back, "Could it be because of your cowardice that Zhao Jue should die in peace."

Before he died, he was betrayed by the person he trusted the most, and his obsessions for the rest of his life were all a joke, and no one would die with peace.

"……you're right!"

The middle-aged man laughed miserably, as if he was ready to die.

"Do you want to die?" Zhao Zhen said slowly, "Don't forget Zhao Jue's last wish, he let you marry a wife and have children and die in bed."

The expression of the middle-aged man was blank for a moment.

After a long time, the man got up in a daze, stumbled and turned to leave without even leaving a name.

Bai Yutang said: "Will he really marry a wife, have children and die in bed?"

Zhan Zhao sighed, "He will, even if he is happier in death, he will live in pain."

Zhao Zhen looked at the ring in his hand, "That wooden box is like Zhao Jue's life, everything he once owned is lost, and it comes and goes."

Bai Yutang really doesn't understand these psychosis, "If you like it, stay together, if you don't like it, separate, is it so complicated?"

Zhan Zhao also couldn't figure it out, "Who does Zhao Jue really like? Empress Liu? The first emperor? Or that person just now? Or maybe Zhao Jue likes himself the most, because for some inexplicable reason, he betrayed his relatives, why did he do so many things? "

Zhao Zhen shrugged, "Don't think about it, you two don't understand the world of insanity."

Perhaps Zhao Jue really has some unavoidable difficulties, and everything will wait for the day when the answer is revealed...

The two heroes were overwhelmed and left in a daze.

Chengying's face was full of tangles and tangles, Zhao Zhen was on the ground, and his tone was like an old hooligan who abducted minors. "Chengying, don't think about it with your elm head, if you have any doubts, let me know, and I will answer you~"

Chengying thought about it for a long time, because there were too many questions, but he didn't know where to start.

Finally, Chengying asked in a general way: "The man just now, the King of Xiangyang asked him to marry a wife and have children, is it really for his sake?"

Zhao Zhen threw up the ring and caught it again, "Guess, does Zhao Jue know that the box is empty?"

Cheng Ying was taken aback.If Zhao Jue knew that the box was empty, did he deliberately design that person to be tortured by guilt for a lifetime?

Cheng Ying took a deep breath, just thinking about this possibility, felt chilling to the bone.

Zhao Zhen poked him in the chest, "This feeling is called careful thinking and fear. Don't think too clearly about some things."

Cheng Ying seemed to be planning to get to the bottom of it, "Is King Xiangyang protecting him, or taking revenge on him?"

Zhao Zhen shrugged, "Everyone is dead, how do I know."

The way to love is the same, but the way to hate is different.

Love to the depths is nothing more than life and death in the same bed, and hatred to the depths is more than eating its flesh and sleeping its skin.

**********

After capturing several demon monks and Zhao Jue's cronies, many doubts were easily resolved.

The first is the so-called [Living Buddha]. According to the demon monks, the [Living Buddha] is originally two stone Buddhas that generate and restrain each other. One is the Buddha of Disaster and the other is the Buddha of Joy. The two Buddha statues are almost identical, but the Buddha of Joy is smiling from the top , Misfortune Buddha is frowning.The send-off team seen by Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang is the Buddha of Joy, and the small stone Buddha hired in Bai Yutang's memory is also the Buddha of Joy, and the Buddha of Misfortune used by the demon monks to harm people.

The Buddha of Joy pays attention to selfless dedication, and the Buddha of Disaster obeys people's desires.

In the barbaric beliefs of the demon monks, they only believe in the Buddha of Misfortune, and sacrifice the blood of 33 young girls to the Buddha of Misfortune every year, so that the Buddha of Misfortune will bear their sins for them, and they can obey their desires, rape, rob, and ignore human life without worrying about being condemned by God and going to hell .

The so-called "living Buddha" who responds to requests is just a cover-up, and it is the people behind the scenes who are truly omnipotent.

The people behind the scenes tied some officials, wealthy businessmen, and martial arts people to chariots by threatening and using means, and controlled these people to work for him.For example, in the original child kidnapping case, the demon monk kidnapped the children of the rich businessman and asked them to exchange the child with the maid at home.

The demon monk used these servant girls to turn around and threaten the rich businessman, if they didn't send more girls, they would break up.

There are such shameless people in the world, and everyone is furious.

According to the demon monk's confession, Zhan Zhao found 25 girls from the abandoned cave, including the missing Gui Zhi'er.Fortunately, the demon monk has not yet found all 33 girls. The captured girls were all raised in caves. Apart from being weak from long-term exposure to the sun, they suffered no other injuries.

The demon monks arrest the children of poor people in order to train the next generation of demon monks.

The demon monk believes that children who are naturally naughty like Wang Xiaosan'er can "cultivate into a positive result" with a little training.

Mr. Bao was so angry that he blew his beard, gathered several children and sent them to the free school for re-education!Try to break back the three views!

**********

Interrogating the cronies of King Xiangyang also got a lot of information.

Zhao Zhen held the ring of the King of Xiangyang in his hand. These cronies had been entrusted by the King of Xiangyang long ago, no matter what Zhao Zhen asked, he would know everything without saying a word.

Guo Huai, Die Wu, and even the one-eyed man were all sent by the King of Xiangyang.The King of Xiangyang has been obedient to the sun for a long time. While listening to the orders of the people behind the scenes to assassinate Zhao Zhen, he sent people to disrupt the assassination, making Zhao Zhen appear dangerous again and again. It can be regarded as a rough test...

The news of King Xiangyang's death was announced a few days later, and the cause of death was illness.

Zhao Zhen was so dizzy with the effort to subdue the King of Xiangyang's power, that he thought about it when he was free - where did Meng Ke go?

A few days later, I received a letter from Zhan Qingfeng in Changzhou Prefecture, saying that Meng Ke's family had disappeared and that a fire had completely destroyed the house.Zhao Zhen felt that this clean and neat method was very similar to the style of the behind-the-scenes people. It really was a scourge for thousands of years, and Meng Ke, a flea, had climbed onto the high branches again.

The flea Meng Ke was nothing to worry about, but Zhao Zhen's headache was the end-of-the-year feast for the officials and envoys from all over the world to pay homage.

After Zhao Zhen came to the throne, the army of the Song Dynasty suddenly became tougher, and the barbaric neighbors could no longer rob properly.
