When the queen heard Xu Chang call out "Zhu Fu", her heart sank. When she heard the word "tyrant", her heart sank completely.

Zhang Yuanqing also felt cold from head to toe. He found that Xu Changlao of the Qinglong Gang was not only a swordsman, but he also knew him.

This development almost blocked his way.

Zhang Yuanqing simply stopped pretending and said coldly, "You know me!"

Xu Changlao's expression changed from astonishment to excitement, and then from excitement to hatred. "Three years ago, you were hunting in the southern suburbs. Several assassins sneaked into the Yang Palace to kill you, but failed. One of the three escaped, and the one who escaped was me. Has your majesty forgotten?"

The entire copy is full of unruly people who want to harm me! Zhang Yuanqing sensed the strong hatred and disgust in the other party's emotions, so he stopped talking, tilted his head and looked at the queen.

As a tyrant whom the Qinglong Gang hated to the core, no matter what he said, the other party would sneer at him. Saying too much would only anger the other party, so he simply stopped talking.

Old Xu Chang would definitely wonder why a king of a country would become a stupid thief and why he would appear here, so he would not kill him for the time being.

In this situation, the only thing left for the Queen to perform is for him. Mr. Xu Chang took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and regained his seriousness and composure.

"Mr. Xu Chang, I have something to report to you." The queen was indeed a woman with big breasts and brains. She understood the look in Mr. Tianzun's eyes and took the opportunity to speak.

"Beiwang, take them to the basement." After thinking about it, he personally pulled Zhang Yuanqing out of the car, grabbed him by the collar and strode away.

Zhang Yuanqing was hanging in the air like a chicken, feeling a little embarrassed. He said angrily: "I am the ruler of a country. How dare you be so rude? Put me down now."

Wang Beiwang stared at the backs of Xu Changlao and Zhang Yuanqing in amazement. Until this moment, he had not recovered from the shock.

My cousin Li Erdan is the current emperor Zhao Shun. Why would the emperor appear in my house? I spent the whole day with the tyrant Zhao Shun, but I didn’t kill him!

No, I stabbed him with a sword, I actually stabbed the emperor with a sword.

The candlelight flickered in the dim basement. Wang Beiwang's mind was in a mess. He didn't come to his senses until Xu Changlao's figure disappeared in the corridor. He hurriedly picked up Jiang Jingwei and the queen and strode after him.

Zhang Yuanqing wore hand and leg shackles and sat stiffly against the wall, unable to speak or move.

Old Xu Chang took him very seriously. Not only did he not give him any muscle softening powder, he also pressed his acupoints. Now several acupoints on his body were injured by the force of his fingers and were numb and insensitive. It would take at least a few hours to recover. Beside him was Jiang Jingwei, who received the same treatment.

The queen was not there, and was taken to the secret room next door by Mr. Xu Chang.

In the room separated by a wall, the queen told Xu Changlao what had happened in the palace.

"This is what happened. After I escaped from the palace, I met His Majesty by the river in the south of the city. I hid with him in a private house, but it turned out to be Wang Beiwang's home."

Elder Xu Chang sat at the table, holding the porcelain cup in his palm for a long time without moving or speaking. Even as an elder of the Qinglong Gang, he needed time to digest such important information.

The Zheng family rebelled, the emperor fell into trouble, and the Southern Dynasty might be facing an unprecedented coup d'état.

Although the Qinglong Gang is a gang, they also have a heart that serves the country and the people and cannot ignore such a major event.

After half a quarter of an hour, Xu Chang Lao suddenly asked: "Since you have already escaped from the palace and are with the tyrant emperor, why don't you bring him here?"

The queen looked into those eyes that were as sharp as swords and seemed to be able to see through everything, and she spoke her mind without panic; "Because I don't want Your Majesty to die."

In front of a swordsman, lying would instead cause him to lose his identity advantage and make the other party no longer trust him. Since he couldn't lie, he might as well be honest.

Hearing this, Xu Mang, the old leader, snorted, "Why, are you moved by the emperor? Back then, your father pleaded for the people but his entire family was executed. The leader admired your father's character and rescued you. Now that the enemy is right in front of you, you are moved by compassion. Are you worthy of Lord Zhu and the leader?"

"Master Chang, let me explain." The queen took a deep breath and spoke out the prepared speech: "Zhao Shun is indeed stupid, but he is not the culprit. According to my observations over the years, Zhao Shun only knows how to enjoy himself in the palace and has no interest in government affairs. Most of the affairs in the court are decided by Zheng Wenhan. He is like a knife, and Zheng Wen is the culprit."

Zheng Wenhan is a knife. These are all true. Seeing that Xu Chang Lao was unmoved, the queen continued: "I have one more thing to report to you, Chang Lao. I know who is the mastermind behind the Zheng family."

Xu Chang frowned and asked, "Is there someone behind the Zheng family?"

The queen nodded repeatedly, "Yes, it's the national teacher."

Xu Chang Lao was furious: "Nonsense! The Imperial Master is a man of great virtue, who loves his country and his people, and he is dedicated to helping the world. How could he do such a thing?"

The queen looked directly into Xu Changlao's eyes and said, "Changlao, you have eyes that can see through people's hearts. You can tell whether what I say is true or false at a glance."

The two looked at each other for a few seconds, and Xu Chang's expression gradually became solemn. He pondered and said, "The emperor is incompetent. The national teacher supports the Zheng family perhaps to promote reform."

"Is Master Xu Chang still a fan of the Imperial Master?" The Queen sneered, "Reforming by sacrificing 300 boys and girls?"

"The notice issued during the day was issued after His Majesty escaped from the palace. It was pushed by the Zheng family and the Imperial Master. Does Elder Xu Chang still believe that the Imperial Master loves the country and the people?"

Old Xu Chang was stunned!

The queen continued, "There is one more thing I want to report to Elder Chang. The Zheng family is secretly colluding with the Northern Dynasty commander Shiba Rentu. One day, the Zheng family will find a way to get rid of the Yang family, and then feed the 50,000 front-line troops to the Northern Dynasty as a token of compromise with Tuoba Rentu. Tuoba Rentu's army will go straight to the capital to support the Zheng family."

"Is this true?" Xu Chang smashed the porcelain cup with a "crack", furious. What kind of impact was this? Even greater than the appearance of Zhao Shun, Zheng Wenhan, who was in charge of the cabinet in front of him, although he didn't want to believe it, but Zhu Fu's micro-expression told him that the other party was not lying.

The Queen struck while the iron was hot: "So, the culprit of all this is Na Wenhan, not Your Majesty. Although he is old and incompetent, his crime does not deserve the death penalty."

He immediately realized that he had lost his composure and suppressed his emotions.

Elder Xu said calmly, "This matter is of great importance. I will report it to the leader. Whether what you said is true or false, the leader will make the final decision."

The Queen asked: "Then His Majesty..."

Xu Chang Lao showed a cold expression: "As a king, being incompetent is the greatest sin. You said that Zheng Wenhan is the culprit, but that is not true. Zhao Shun, who favored the pregnant minister, is the culprit. He must be killed."

The Queen argued: "But Chang Lao, Your Majesty is an important chess piece. Only with him can you threaten Zheng Wenhan."

Xu Chang snorted, "That's a matter of the court, and has nothing to do with the Qinglong Gang. The purpose of the Qinglong Gang is to kill the tyrant and eliminate harm for the people. However, I will spare his life first, and report it to the gang leader and he will make the decision."

The queen's expression changed slightly, and she thought that she would rescue her teammates as soon as Xu Changlao left.

Unexpectedly, as soon as this thought came up, Xu Chang Lao said: "Come with me to help the master.

The queen nodded and said, "Before I leave, I would like to see your majesty."

Mr. Xu Chang did not refuse.

The two immediately left the secret room and went to the next door.

Looking at Jiang Jingwei and Yuanshi Tianzun, who were sitting stiffly against the wall, the queen bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I will go with Elder Xu Chang to see the leader. The leader is very clear about the righteousness and will definitely let you out."

She gave Zhang Yuanqing a "solemn" look and left reluctantly.

Wang Beiwang, who was guarding the door, immediately closed the iron gate.

Elder Xu Chang looked at his subordinate and disciple and said, "I will be out for a while. You stay here and guard. No one is allowed to approach this place. If the tyrant emperor makes a mistake or escapes, you will be held responsible."

Wang Beiwang lowered his head and said, "Yes!"

Zhang Yuanqing couldn't hold back his expression as he listened to the two people's footsteps gradually fading away until they disappeared.

By this point, you have almost guessed the 72-hour side quest and who the biggest danger and enemy are.

Leader of the Qinglong Gang!

That hero who hated evil would surely die as soon as the gang leader arrived. After all, Zhao Shun was a genuine and undoubted tyrant.

Even if he was eloquent, the leader of the Qinglong Gang would not let him go. If he did not hate the tyrant deeply, why would he arrange for a beautiful woman to enter the palace to assassinate him?

Trapped in this hellhole, with no possibility of getting help, what should I do?

Zhang Yuanqing pondered over a solution.

Jiang Jingwei beside him said happily: "We don't have to die."

"When the leader of the Qinglong Gang arrives, we will surely die. But dying a few hours later is always a good thing. Jingwei, don't you think we should do?"

Jiang Jingwei's eyes moved rapidly, thinking hard.

After a long time, she tried to ask: "I will blow myself up and help you blow a hole in the wall?"

"Good comrade, now is not the time to sacrifice for the revolution. And if you self-destruct in this position, you will take me with you!" Zhang Yuanqing sighed. Since he formed a team with Jingwei, he sighed more than before.

"Can you use the item fire?" he asked.

Jiang Jingwei shook his head: "No."

"That old man injured my meridians. My spiritual energy is not flowing smoothly in my body. I can't use the fire element, and I can't use props."

"Then why did you blow yourself up?"

"Self-destruction does not require operation."

"Okay!" Good Zhang Yuanqing sighed again.

He thought to himself, I am really at the end of my rope and I am actually starting to look forward to Jingwei.

In the current situation, it is impossible to save oneself. One can only hope that teammates or friendly forces in the dungeon will come to rescue them. However, they are hiding among the people and their whereabouts are secret. Neither the enemy nor teammates can find them.

Now trapped here, the chances of friendly forces finding them are almost zero.

Just as he was frowning, he heard hurried footsteps in the corridor outside the iron gate, followed by a scolding voice: "Aniu, stop! Master Xu Chang has ordered that no one is allowed to approach."

Aniu, who was dressed in cloth and had a strong physique, stopped in the distance and shouted anxiously: "Beiwang, something bad has happened!"

"Your father is outside the door, and your sister was selected by the court to be used as a boy and girl for sacrifice to the gods."
