The mountain wind blew in the empty valley, making a whistling sound.

It was as if an evil wind was causing trouble, causing all the soldiers and horses who stepped into the valley to have goose bumps all over their bodies.

"Why are all the construction troops gone?"

After a night of fighting, Zhang Tingyu was extremely tired. Looking at the deserted valley, he began to feel suspicious.

Yang Qilang: "Maybe, they haven't been on duty yet?"

Zhang Tingyu: "No, there is no one at all!"

"On weekdays, even if it's not time to go on duty, there will be someone taking over the shift."

"There's no one at the entrance to the imperial mausoleum right now!"

"And even though we showed up with such a big commotion, no one showed up to ask questions, not even a guard."

"It's so weird!"

Duan Rongshi: "Be careful."

Yang Qilang immediately shouted: "Everyone, be alert!"

Just at this moment, the Emperor of Chu woke up slowly.

Last night he was tied to the horse behind Qingyangzi.

So when I got up at this moment, my whole body was in severe pain and I felt like all my bones were about to fall apart.

Seeing that he was in the valley of the imperial mausoleum, and looking up at Duan Rongshi and the other two who had already returned, he couldn't help but frown.

"How is this going?"

"Why am I here?"

The Emperor of Chu rubbed his forehead, which was in so much pain that it was about to crack, and anger gradually rose in him.

Zhang Tingyu quickly replied, "Your Majesty, this is a long story. It was Taoist Qingyangzi and my servants who rescued you from the mountain stronghold last night."

"The troops from the mountain stronghold are chasing us all the way. We originally wanted to go to the nearest imperial mausoleum to seek help from the construction troops, but we were caught in a fierce battle all the way last night. That's why we didn't enter the imperial mausoleum valley until just now."

"But we just arrived and discovered that all the construction troops here are gone."

The King of Chu was astonished: "Not a single one is missing?"

He was breathing heavily, and in a rage he wanted to draw his sword and kill someone, but Qingyangzi, who was riding with him, didn't even have a dagger on him, let alone a sword.

"Damn it!"

The King of Chu knocked Qingyangzi off his horse with one palm.

If Duan Rongshi had not quickly bent down and picked up Qing Yangzi with one hand, the frightened horse would have stepped on Qing Yangzi's chest.

Qing Yangzi staggered back to his feet, cursing the tyrant Zong Zheng Langri a thousand times in his heart.

The tyrant who deserves to be cut into pieces will never be innocent no matter how he dies.

After all, Qing Yangzi saved him in name, but it would have been fine if he didn't remember the favor, he even planned to kill him without blinking an eye.

If there was a sword right now, I'm afraid my head would have been chopped off by now.

Seeing what happened to Qing Yangzi, Yang Qilang and Zhang Tingyu also changed their expressions.

The horse was frightened and the King of Chu accidentally fell off its back.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and rolled away from the horse's hooves.

Yang Qillang finally reacted and flew forward to quickly control the horse.

Zhang Tingyu quickly jumped off his horse and stepped forward, shouting, "Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, are you okay?"

While shouting, Zhang Tingyu quickly took off the knife on his body and threw it far away.

Emperor Chu sat up, holding his chest and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"you……"

He looked up at the three people in front of him, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

Duan Rongshi, still sitting high on his horse, said indifferently, "Your Majesty, please calm down."

"My three subordinates returned from Daliang after completing the mission assigned by Your Majesty. Before we could report to Your Majesty, we heard that Your Majesty and my wife had disappeared from Your Majesty's burning secret room."

"Now that your Majesty has been found, I have the audacity to ask, Your Majesty, where is my wife?"

The King of Chu stood up awkwardly with the help of Zhang Tingyu: "How dare you!"

"Li Wu, are you doubting that I have hidden your wife?"

"I was about to hold you accountable. Your wife was so audacious that she actually dared to assassinate me!"

"What crime should you be charged with in this matter?"

Duan Rongshi: "Your Majesty, do you want to kill me?"

"Well, Your Majesty will never get the remains of Concubine Yue of Daliang in this lifetime."

Hearing that Li Wu dared to say such words, Yang Qilang and Zhang Tingyu were so anxious that they almost jumped up.

Is he crazy?

Didn't he act as if he didn't care about his wife at all?

How dare you use Princess Qingyue's corpse to threaten Emperor Chu?

Does he really want to commit suicide?

"His Majesty--"

Zhang Tingyu was winking at Li Wu and trying to explain for him when the vanguard came rushing over with a report: "Your Majesty—"

"Your Excellencies—"

"It's the King of Qin. He's chasing us with a large army!"

Everyone was shocked: "King Qin!?"

"How could it be the King of Qin!?"

"Can you see clearly?"

Yang Qilang: "It was too dark last night, and the opposing commander never showed up. Turns out it was the King of Qin!"

"Could it be that the King of Qin is the leader of the bandit rebels and the real culprit behind the kidnapping of the Emperor?"

Zhang Tingyu: "What's impossible? Only he could know the palace so well and sneak His Majesty out in front of everyone."

"Furthermore, perhaps he is the only one who knows that there is a secret passage under the rockery leading to His Majesty's secret room!"

Yang Qilang: "He wants to rebel?"

"Want to, want to usurp the throne?"

As soon as these words came out, the scene fell into dead silence.

Qing Yangzi said at the right moment, "I heard that His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin has always been a supporter of the Fourth Prince. But last night when I went to rescue His Majesty, I also saw His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince in the woodshed."

"I only have some mediocre skills, and I don't have three heads and six arms, so I could only take Your Majesty with me."

"When I left the Fourth Prince behind, he seemed very agitated and anxious. Was there some misunderstanding?"

Emperor Chu: "What a misunderstanding!"

He had a gloomy face and had already made up his mind about this matter.

"This beast."

"He must have conspired with the King of Qin to stage this drama. He originally wanted to use his merits in saving the emperor to regain my trust, and he also forced Xingyao to marry the traitorous young commander!"

"If you, Taoist Priest, hadn't appeared at the right time and rescued me, I would have fallen into their trap by now!"

Zhang Tingyu: "Your Majesty, the King of Qin kept pursuing us last night. The troops that Yang Qilang and I brought with us have already lost more than 200 servants and guards."

"Now, we, your Majesty, will protect you to the death."

When the King of Chu heard this, a glimmer of hope ignited in his heart.

"How many more of you are there?"

"How many troops does the King of Qin have?"

Zhang Tingyu hesitated for a moment and then reported, "We still have 800 men."

"The King of Qin still has at least two thousand men."

Upon hearing the number of people, the King of Chu felt a wave of despair.

He closed his eyes and gave the order: "Surrender. I will pretend to go back with them, and wait for the opportunity, then I will strike back and kill them!"

He, fights back?

Yang Qilang and Zhang Tingyu were filled with disbelief: "Your Majesty!?"

With only 200 of them, they fought off nearly 1,000 troops of the King of Qin. They had defeated the larger force with a smaller one, which greatly boosted the morale of the army!

If the emperor doesn't fight now, he will surrender?

Wouldn't this lower morale and send everyone to their deaths?

There are no soldiers in this world who are defeated without fighting.

There are only cowards and cowards who are afraid of death!

Everyone was furious, except Duan Rongshi, who said, "I will definitely capture the King of Qin alive!"

After saying that, he squeezed the horse's belly with his legs, turned the horse's head and rushed backwards.

"Stop Li Wu for me—"

The King of Chu pointed in Duan Rongshi's direction and shouted angrily.

However, no one dared to stop them without the orders of Zhang Tingyu and Yang Qilang.

The Emperor of Chu pointed at them in disbelief and asked, "Are you planning a rebellion?"

Zhang Tingyu's face was cold and indifferent: "Your Majesty is in such a state today. If we return, I'm afraid we won't have a chance to survive."

What they did in Daliang could not be known to the world.

And today they witnessed how cowardly and incompetent he was as an emperor.

If they go back, how can the three of them survive?

Only the mouths of the dead are the strictest.

Zhang Tingyu and Yang Qilang looked at each other.

The two of them walked towards the Emperor of Chu together.

"What are you going to do?"

"How dare you disrespect me?"

"I am the emperor."

"If you dare to offend me, I will kill your entire family and exterminate all nine generations of your clan—"

Zhang Tingyu walked forward without saying a word and personally tied up the Emperor of Chu in front of everyone.

And gagged him.

Yang Qillang is from the prince's lineage.

Although he got the news and came out to rescue the Emperor of Chu this time without telling the Crown Prince, but if the Emperor of Chu could be really killed outside the palace, wouldn't it be legitimate for the Crown Prince to succeed to the throne?

Moreover, they have offended the tyrant.

If he lets Nan'an go again, the entire Yang family will be buried with him.

Let’s just go all out and arrest him first!

After the two men had tied up the Emperor of Chu, they remembered Qingyangzi who was standing beside them.

Qing Yangzi quickly looked up at the sky and pinched his fingers quickly.

"This, the stars have changed, the emperor has changed his position, and the Ziwei constellation is pointing to the north..."

"The world is about to change hands!"

"The secret of heaven cannot be leaked, it cannot be leaked again..."

While shaking his head, he quickly climbed onto the horse and quickly left in the direction of Li Wu.

Yang Qilang and his partner: ...

He runs fast!

Yang Qilang: "What should we do next?"

"Brother Zhang, from now on we are completely tied together."

"What we have committed today is a capital crime punishable by the extermination of our entire family and nine generations of our clan. From now on, we must not make any mistakes!"

Zhang Tingyu: "Now that I've taken this step, there's absolutely no chance of regret."

"You still don't know who this tyrant is?"

"Let's go to the imperial mausoleum first to place him, and then we'll go to help Li Wu!"

However, when Zhang Tingyu and Yang Qilang personally grabbed the Emperor of Chu and stepped into the imperial mausoleum, the guards behind them had not even followed them in when a loud "bang" was heard.

The stone door fell down heavily.

The two of them immediately sensed the danger, but a group of people were already slowly walking out from behind the main coffin in front of them.

The leader was Li Qingluo, who was wearing a mask and holding a bow and arrow.

She drew her bow to its full length and pointed it at the three men.

"Since you three are in such a hurry to come in, why don't we watch a show together first?"
