The prince is very cruel

"No." Yan Qing shook his head again.

"Very good, very well done." Zheng Yuan changed his attitude and breathed a sigh of relief. Then he pondered: "If that's the case, then let's wait and see."

"No news has come out of Prince Ping's Mansion recently. I will send someone to investigate."

"Once we are sure that King Ping is dead, we can start the next step." A fierce look flashed in his eyes.

"Yes!" Yan Qing bowed and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Hesitantly asked, "Master, can I go see my wife?"

Zheng Yuan looked down at him, and his fierce and majestic face suddenly became amiable. He reached out and helped Yan Qing up.

He smiled and said, "Of course."

"Yan Qing, don't worry. As long as you work peacefully in the Zheng family, I will not treat you unfairly."

"Once this matter is done, I will allow your wife to be completely reunited with you. How about that?"

He looked so smiling that he seemed like a really good elder, but at this moment, Yan Qing felt only disgust and hatred in his heart.

A smile was forced out from his melancholy face: "Okay, thank you for your cultivation, Master."

"Very good, I am very happy that you think so. Go ahead."

"Yes!"

After the others left, Zheng Yuan, the old fox, stared at Yan Qing's back for a long time, his eyes flickering and full of suspicion.

"strangeness."

"Why did he suddenly figure it out when he came back this time?"

"Have you really faced reality?"

"..."

Tower of Eternal Life.

As the tallest building in Xingyang and the place of worship for the entire Zheng family, it has been shrouded in mystery since its establishment. Everyone in Xingyang knows about it, but no one dares to approach it.

One is the fear of ghosts and gods, and the other is the fear of Zheng.

Although this is a building in Xingyang City, it is not difficult to get close to it. There are watchtowers in all four directions and a large number of people patrolling.

The token and the password are both indispensable. Once you are discovered sneaking in, you will be arrested immediately and disappear from Xingyang forever. It will be useless to report to the police.

Because everything here belongs to the Zheng family, even the emperor in the capital cannot interfere. This is the century-old wealthy family in ancient times!

At this moment, Guan Ning stood under the Changsheng Tower, looking up at the tall tower that reached into the clouds, with a storm in his heart.

"one two three four……"

"Thirty-second floor..."

"It has thirty-two floors in total, all made of wood, secured with mortise and tenon joints. It's simply a miracle!"

“If it could be preserved for a thousand years and passed down to future generations, it would be such a precious cultural relic and historical relic… How did they do it?!” Guan Ning muttered to himself, unable to calm down.

You have to know that this was in ancient times, not later times. In later times, 32 floors were considered high-rise buildings, and they had to be secured by laying the foundation and using a series of scientifically proven methods such as steel bars.

But the ancestors of the Han people were able to build such a tall building using only wood and their own hands, without any high-tech equipment!

"It seems that what Li Bai said about the White Jade Capital in the sky with twelve towers and five cities is not an exaggeration." He muttered quietly. It's a pity that this place is the place of sin of the Zheng family.

At this time, suddenly.

There were footsteps coming one after another, with torches held. Guan Ning's face suddenly changed. There was a patrol?

Without saying a word, he jumped as light as a swallow and jumped down to the steps of the square platform. This place was in the shade and was completely covered in shadows. If he didn't get closer, he would definitely not notice anyone there.

Dadada... This is a team of Zheng clan members wearing brocade clothes with the word "Zheng" embroidered on the chest. They are patrolling with torches and weapons in hand.

"It's so cold!"

"What bad luck! As soon as the Third Master arrived, he asked us to patrol this open space. It's so cold. Normally, we would be standing guard in the tower. We can't bear this kind of suffering."

"Exactly. There's not even a ghost here. There are guards outside. I wonder why they're still patrolling?"

"Shh!"

"You guys, keep your mouth shut. What the Third Master says is what it is. Be careful what you say."

Upon hearing this, the Zheng family members became obviously fearful and dared not complain anymore, but were just curious.

"By the way, what are you doing here, Master San? It's so late."
