The prince is very cruel

Bang!

Zheng Yuan broke the stick, panting heavily, his dignified expression changed: "What did you say? The third brother was here?"

"Yes, the Third Master has been here, but he has never come out." Zheng Tong wailed.

Zheng Yuan was stunned for a moment. How could it be possible that he was from the military?

"Brother, what happened? Did my third brother touch it by mistake?" A weak-looking man with a goatee spoke. He was the second son of the Zheng family, Zheng Congwen.

He is actually the least powerful one in the Zheng family. He is obsessed with reading, so obsessed that he can stay in his study for a whole year.

"impossible!"

Zheng Yuan gritted his teeth and shook his head, his deep and majestic face filled with anger and anxiety: "Once the Dragon Locking Well is opened, my entire Zheng clan will be doomed!"

"Light me a cigarette immediately and force the people inside to come out!" He roared almost like a madman, echoing through the darkness and making this turbulent night even more uneasy.

"Yes!"

"But big brother, the third brother is still in there!"

"Shut up, so what if you're in there?!" Zheng Yuan shouted angrily.

Zheng Congwen was speechless. He had never seen his calm and resourceful elder brother lose his composure like this.

Wow!

A large number of people and horses rushed to several wellheads outside the Changsheng Tower. The inside was extremely narrow and people could not pass through, but smoke could pass through.

They lit the signal smoke, and in an instant, black smoke billowed into the wellhead and into the ground.

Then Zheng Yuan personally commanded, and at least thousands of people surrounded the place. The retainers and servants recruited by the Zheng family also came out, and various masters stood in line, waiting solemnly.

It can be said that at this moment, the Tower of Longevity is a battlefield surrounded by enemies on all sides, and any hero who comes here will suffer in the northwest.

……

Deep in the crypt.

The smoke billowed, penetrating every corner and gradually engulfing and covering the entire dungeon.

"Cough cough cough!" Guan Ning coughed violently. Looking back, he saw a large amount of smoke signals penetrating every corner.

This kind of smoke is mostly used in cold weapon warfare to warn and convey enemy invasions. It is also an extremely special means.

Those who smell the wolf smoke will have tears, coughs and difficulty breathing in the short term, and will be poisoned and fall into a coma after a long period of time.

It is even more terrifying than the tear gas in later generations.

"Has it been discovered again?" He thought of the mechanism he touched when he took the jade seal not long ago. It should have been exposed at that time. When the jade seal was moved, the Zheng family's top management would immediately get wind of it.

I have to say, the protection is quite detailed.

At this moment, he still had not recovered from the shock of the imperial seal, but no matter what, whether it was true or false, this thing was enough to bring down the Zheng family.

There was no way out now. Guan Ning gritted his teeth, tore off a piece of cloth to cover his mouth and nose, then wrapped the nanmu box with clothes, hung it across his chest, and tied a knot!

"Walk!"

He shouted loudly and killed decisively.

The cave was already dark and difficult to find a way out, and with the smoke signals, it became even more difficult.

But this failed to trap Guan Ning. He knew from the beginning that this was not a closed space. In addition, he followed the direction of the wolf smoke and successfully found a way out.

At this moment, as time passed, outside the Tower of Longevity, dark clouds rolled in, the sun and moon lost their light, and the grass and trees swayed, creating a murderous scene.

Zheng Yuan’s top leaders all went out to wake up the entire city from its slumber.

Zheng Yuan and his men blocked the only exit, his face ashen and his fingers clenched with sweat.

"Out!"

"Someone's out!"

Suddenly someone shouted, and in an instant, the sound of swords being drawn could be heard one after another, and the sword light illuminated the cold night.

Not only that, at least thousands of bows and arrows were aimed at the exit.

Zheng Yuan focused his eyes and stared at the entrance of the Longevity Tower, where a stone door opened automatically.

There was a huge billowing smoke, covering the sky and the sun.

"Cough cough cough..." A figure appeared and coughed violently.

"Third Master, it's Third Master!"

"Master, it's the Third Master!" Many people shouted but did not shoot.

Hearing this, Zheng Yuan's pupils were filled with anger. No one could steal Zheng's secrets, not even his own brother.

Just as he was about to say something, suddenly, his eyes changed drastically.

"There's someone else!"

In the black smoke, another figure emerged from behind Zheng Congwu. He was seven feet tall, tall and handsome, with dancing black hair. His face was covered by a cloth, but his eyes were extremely sharp, like a magic sword.

"Who are you? Why did you trespass into my Zheng family's forbidden area!" Zheng Yuan roared, his voice exploding.

“Crash!

A large number of masters leaped up and surrounded Guan Ning from all directions, and arrows covering the sky and the sun were aimed at him.

"Don't shoot, don't shoot!"

"Brother, save me, he took my things!!" Zheng Congwu howled.

At this moment, the cold night was unprecedentedly quiet, and Zheng Yuan's heart sank to the bottom. Although he knew that something might have been stolen, he still couldn't calm down when he heard Zheng Congwu say this, and he was even panicked!

"Tsk tsk, what a big scene."

Guan Ning looked around. This might be more dangerous than when he was being chased and blocked by Zhao Tai, but he actually laughed.

"I'm asking you, who are you? Who sent you here?" Zheng Yuan scolded.

"You don't recognize me so quickly, Master Zheng, you are so forgetful." As he said that, Guan Ning tore off the cloth on his face.

In an instant, the pupils of many people, including Zheng Yuan, shrank.

"It's him!"

"It's you!"

"Ning Que!!" The exclamation was filled with shock. How dare he come to Xingyang and sneak into the family's forbidden area?

Guan Ning raised the corner of his mouth: "Yes, it's me."

"Ning Que, you are so brave!" Zheng Yuan roared. At this moment, he felt provoked and humiliated, and his murderous aura reached an unprecedented height.

"Hand over the things, or I will destroy you to ashes!"

Guan Ning was calm and expressionless. He exchanged glances with Yan Qing in the crowd and then said, "Don't try to trick me. Do you think you can scare people just by making a loud noise?"

"I dared to come here, thinking about now."

"Order your men to step back twenty steps, or I will collect Zheng Congwu's body immediately!"

The dagger was against Zheng Congwu's throat, causing him to panic: "No, don't!"

"Stop!" Many senior executives of Zheng shouted angrily.

"Are you going to retreat or not?" Guan Ning looked at Zheng Yuan coldly. Faced with such a situation, he still did not panic, but had a plan to escape.

Zheng Yuan's old face turned ashen, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, his eyes were filled with murderous intent and gloom. He took a step forward and almost gritted his teeth, "You, let him go first!"

Guan Ning said firmly: "What do you think?"

Zheng Yuan's fists clenched until they crackled, and he gritted his teeth, "Ning Que, don't push me!"

"Leave your people and things here, I'll let you go!"

"Otherwise, no one can save you, not even King Ping!"

Under the torch, his face was about to explode, and his features were threatening.

Guan Ning knew very well that as long as this thing was in his possession, Zheng Yuan would not let him take it away even if his own son died. Zheng Congwu was nothing compared to the exposure of the imperial seal.

So he had no intention of asking Zheng Yuan to let him go.

"I can give you both things and people."

"However, I have a condition."

"What conditions?" Zheng Yuan took a deep breath.

"Have your men stand back twenty paces."

"If you don't do as I say, I will collect his body first, and then I will smash all your Zheng family treasures." Guan Ning threatened.

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere at the scene almost reached freezing point, as if the air was suffocating.
