Chapter 56
Zhou Xuanqing took out his sword and blocked the arrow for him, saying in a deep voice, "Why waste your words? I only have one chance. If you don't bring Lan'er back to the imperial city, I..."
Zhou Xuanqing didn't finish his words and walked forward waving the arrow.
Mu Tou sighed and hurried to catch up.
Despite their caution, they still sustained a few cuts, but they cleared all the traps, making it easier for Mu Tou to take Zhou Erlan away.
At the end of the secret passage, Zhou Erlan was hanging there, his face pale, and the moment he looked at Zhou Xuanqing, he suddenly shook wildly.
"Royal sister! Hurry up! There's an ambush."
"Hahaha, Zhou Xuanqing, you really dare to come!"
As Zhou Erlan was speaking, Cheng Zhixuan walked out with a sullen look on his face.
Zhou Xuanqing didn't say anything, narrowed his eyes slightly, flew forward, cut the rope and threw Zhou Erlan to Mu Tou, then landed in front of Cheng Zhixuan and rushed towards him with a sword.
Cheng Zhixuan dodged, took out a sword, and said with a strange laugh: "Zhou Xuanqing! I didn't even know that you had been poisoned by the cold and mysterious poison before. If I had known earlier, I would definitely wait until you were dead before taking action! Of course, I can't wait, hahahaha... Zhou Xuanqing, die!"
As Cheng Zhixuan spoke, he swung his sword and rushed towards Zhou Xuanqing, and the two of them started fighting quickly.
Mu Tou did as he had said before and carried Zhou Erlan towards the secret passage.
"Wood! Let me go!" Zhou Erlan struggled with ropes still tied around her body.
"The emperor has ordered that you be sent back to the imperial city no matter what. The emperor will settle the previous matters!" Mu Tou said, and ran away, but saw a group of men in black running towards him.
"kill!"
Someone over there saw the two of them and chased after them.
Mu Tou had no choice but to run back again.
Zhou Xuanqing and Cheng Zhixuan were fighting fiercely, and the two were evenly matched.
It was just a gentleman's battle. Only one of Zhou Xuanqing and Cheng Zhixuan was destined to survive, and both of them understood it.
If Zhou Xuanqing doesn't kill Cheng Zhixuan, Zhou Erlan will always be in danger, and so will the Great Zhou!
If Cheng Zhixuan didn't kill Zhou Xuanqing, he would never have the chance to become king, because Zhou Xuanqing's existence had always suppressed him!
So the sudden arrival of this group of people interrupted the fight between the two.
Zhou Xuanqing rushed towards the group of men in black with a sword in hand, and Cheng Zhixuan followed Zhou Xuanqing with a sword in hand.
"Hahahaha~ Zhou Xuanqing! Look at how many people want you dead! Otherwise, just die obediently, and I will help you take care of Zhou Erlan and take charge of the entire Great Zhou!"
"Bullshit! Cheng Zhixuan, you are dreaming!" Zhou Xuanqing killed four men in black, but was stabbed in the back by Cheng Zhixuan, and a mouthful of blood spurted out!
"Wooden walk!"
Zhou Xuanqing said as he ran towards the secret passage first. Mu Tou immediately followed.
Cheng Zhixuan frowned in surprise, then smiled grimly and said, "Zhou Xuanqing! Do you think you can leave alive?"
Zhou Xuanqing ignored him and just kept helping Mu Tou clear the way.
Zhou Erlan stopped talking and let Mu Tou carry her out. All she had to do was run away with the imperial sister!
Only Mu Tou had a gloomy expression. The Emperor wanted to escort the Crown Prince out before resolving the matter...
Outside, the guards of the City Lord's Mansion and the Royal Guards worked together to kill the incoming enemies.
The emperor had a backup plan, and so did Cheng Zhixuan. The two were evenly matched, and the people outside were fighting fiercely.
Zhou Xuanqing pushed Mu Tou and Zhou Erlan out, but Cheng Zhixuan grabbed their ankles and dragged them back.
Zhou Xuanqing kicked him, pinned him to the ground, picked up the sword and stabbed him in the heart.
Cheng Zhixuan barely dodged the attack and led Zhou Xuanqing inside.
"Zhou Xuanqing! Do you know what kind of poison you have been infected with? You still dare to fight me. Only you will die tonight!" Cheng Zhixuan said, and the sword supporting his body was shining with black light.
"Oh! Cheng Zhixuan, weren't you poisoned too? I can't leave, and you will be buried with me." Zhou Xuanqing's hair, which had been loose for a long time, fluttered in the wind.
"Puff!" Both of them spat out black blood.
Zhou Xuanqing's sword fiercely pierced his heart. At the same time, Cheng Zhixuan's sword also pierced her chest.
Zhou Xuanqing knelt on the ground and watched Cheng Zhixuan die. He pulled out the sword from his chest and was about to get up when fire suddenly rushed into the secret passage.
Zhou Xuanqing pulled out the sword from Cheng Zhixuan's heart and chopped off his head with all his strength, and he fell to the ground with a bang.
This deadly game...
If the Cheng family had not plotted rebellion, Zhou Xuanqing should have married Cheng Zhixuan.
While pregnant, the late queen fell in love with the five-month-old son of the Cheng family and arranged a marriage. The princess' birth also coincided with the birthday of the eldest son of the Cheng family. This was a fascinating story. Before the princess was five years old, she often played with the son of the Cheng family. Later, when the war intensified, General Cheng and his family went to guard the border.
Later, the Cheng family suddenly rebelled, and the Great Zhou was plagued by internal and external troubles. Everyone knows what happened after that, but no one knows the story before that.
Chang Xi was riding his horse and talking about these unknown past events beside Tang Mitang when he suddenly saw flames rising into the sky in the southern city in front of him.
Tang Mitang's heart ached, as if it were breaking apart. He whipped the whip quickly to speed up.
Today is Zhou Xuanqing's birthday, but I didn't give her the birthday gift I prepared...
"ah!"
The miserable screams spread throughout the City Lord's Mansion. Everyone was busy putting out the fire. Zhou Erlan rushed towards the fire and was hugged by the wood.
"Zhou Erlan! Wake up! The emperor has already... You must live well! This life is exchanged for yours by the emperor!" Mu Tou hugged Zhou Erlan and shouted in his ear.
Before Tang Mitang and Chang Xi could react, they watched the raging fire burning the house.
"Where is the emperor?" Tang Mitang ran to Mu Tou and asked loudly.
Mu Tou didn't say anything, but held Zhou Erlan and looked at the fire.
What else did Tang Mitang not understand? She instantly collapsed to the ground in exhaustion. Zhou Xuanqing had played himself to death again...
Chang Xi stood behind her, silently standing with tears in his eyes.
The fire burned all night, and the entire yard was burned down, and everything was reduced to ashes.
Zhou Erlan and Tang Mitang rushed into the secret passage and saw dozens of charred corpses, as well as a charred corpse in the middle with its head and body separated.
These skeletons were so dense that it was impossible to tell who was whose. They were lying on the ground. Tang Mitang touched them one by one. After kneeling on the ground and touching a smaller skeleton, he knelt there, completely stunned.
My whole heart suddenly ached, my eyes went dark and I fell to the ground.
The little red snake that she had been carrying in her sleeve twisted its body and came out of her sleeve. No one noticed that the red snake disappeared into the secret passage.

The author has something to say:
PS:
If I say it's over, will you kill me...
Zhou Xuanqing: You wrote me to death? How could you do that?
Tang Mitang: It would be fine if you didn’t arrange a sweet love relationship for me, but you actually killed my woman?
Zhou Erlan: I think you are going crazy!
Sorry, let me think about it again...
