Chapter 68 Qinghe Caverns
"Your Majesty, you once gave Ah Gan an iron seal of alchemy, and you also said that no matter what he did wrong, as long as he was not treasonous, you would spare his life. Could it be that all your promises to me in the past were false? ?"
As soon as Jiang Ling finished speaking, Concubine Zhou murmured softly, almost crying.
Emperor Xuanhe once gave Zhou Qian an iron coupon for the elixir?!
Jiang Ling and Shen Mo frowned immediately when they heard this.
The iron coupon of the elixir can save your life once!
However, the reason why Zhou Qian never said that he had this thing was probably because he was confident at first. He felt that with Concubine Zhou's authority, no one would dare to do anything to him. Later, he felt that since Chen Hong had arrived, no one would dare to do anything to him. how……
However, Chen Hong never expected that Ye Ping, a stupid young man, would kill him without any care.
But then things become troublesome.
Those who hold the iron certificate of the Alchemy Book must not be killed unless they are plotting to usurp the government. If they are killed, they will destroy the dignity of the Heavenly Family and disobey the decree.
Ye Ping already had a hat on his head that was for disobeying orders, but now he had another one on his head, and his guilt would be even greater.
"Zhou Qian was greedy for ink and died, so the night watcher was not compensated, and his Majesty's reputation was ruined. What he did was no different from treason!"
After Jiang Ling's eyes changed, he cupped his fists towards Emperor Xuanhe and said in a deep voice.
"Isn't it just a few dollars? Why does it become a treason? How much money has he embezzled? I just paid it for him. Do you need to kill people?"
When Concubine Zhou heard this, she turned her head with tears in her eyes and asked Jiang Ling loudly.
"Your Majesty, what you said is wrong. What Zhou Qian is greedy for is not the easy money, but the money that a night watcher from our Jing'an Division sacrificed his life for. It is life money, and it is the grace given by His Majesty to those who died in the night watch. !He took God's grace as his own, making people think that Your Majesty has never sent God's grace. This is not an analogy to treason. What is this?! Your Majesty said he had embezzled a lot of money, and you just paid it back for him. Then I ask your Majesty. , is your money a gift from His Majesty?"
Silence raised her head, looked directly into Concubine Zhou's eyes, and asked word by word.
"you you……"
After hearing this, Concubine Zhou pointed at Shen Mo, her whole body trembling. After a while, she rolled her eyes and fell straight back.
"Someone is coming, someone is coming...are everyone dead..."
When Emperor Xuanhe saw this, his eyes suddenly froze, he hurriedly reached out to support Concubine Zhou, turned around and shouted in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty...what's wrong with the imperial concubine?"
Soon, Chen Hong hurried over with several eunuchs and maids. After saluting respectfully, when he saw Emperor Xuanhe supporting Concubine Zhou, he covered his mouth and pretended to be surprised, then turned his head and pointed at Silence and Concubine Zhou. Jiang Ling said angrily: "Jiang Ling, Silence, you two are so courageous to make the queen so angry! If she had any good intentions, it wouldn't be enough to chop off both of your heads!"
Emperor Xuanhe also snorted coldly after hearing this sentence, and glanced at Jiang Ling and Shen Mo indifferently.
Although Jiang Ling and Shen Mo knew that there was something strange about Concubine Zhou's fainting, at this moment, the situation was like this, but they could only lower their heads and say nothing.
"Tell the imperial doctor to take my concubine for diagnosis and treatment!"
How could Emperor Xuanhe not know that Concubine Zhou's fainting was 90% fake, and the purpose was to put pressure on Jiang Ling and Shen Mo. If they were not sent away, the secret might be revealed later. After all, the two people in front of them were , one is a grandmaster, and the other is a half-step master, nothing can be hidden from their eyes.
"Here."
After hearing this, Chen Hong bowed respectfully, took two young palace ladies to help Zhou Guifei, and walked out of the palace.
"Your Majesty, there is nothing to worry about. I see that your concubine's energy and blood are strong, so she should be fine..."
After Jiang Ling watched a few people leave, he said warmly to Emperor Xuanhe.
"My beloved is suffering from heart disease, not the blood!" Emperor Xuanhe glanced at Jiang Ling and Shen Mo indifferently, and then said coldly: "You two, there is no need to say so much, a little medical officer dares to disobey Imperial decree, if you kill him, you will kill him. It is not a big deal. You two don’t have to waste any more words and bring his head to see me! The time for my homework is up and I have to practice. You two, please leave! "
After saying this, Emperor Xuanhe said no more, flicked his sleeves, turned around and walked towards the quiet room set aside.
"His Majesty……"
She frowned silently, wanting to say something more.
But when the words came out, Emperor Xuanhe seemed as if he hadn't heard them. He didn't even turn his head and walked straight into the quiet room.
"It's useless, stop shouting, Your Majesty won't listen to what you or I say anymore..."
Seeing this, Jiang Ling shook his head towards Silence and said slowly.
"Lord Sicheng, what should we do now? Your Majesty, how did it become like this..."
Shen Mo frowned, looked at Jiang Ling and asked in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty's cultivation has improved again!"
Jiang Ling did not reply silently, but said slowly.
"you mean……"
Shen Mo was startled when he heard the words. He thought about it carefully and found out that he had indeed sensed the peak Qi of the fifth grade from Emperor Xuanhe just now. He was already one step away from the sixth grade.
Reaching the sixth level means that it is possible to become a Grandmaster, or even an Immortal Grandmaster.
"Looking at it now, you and I both want to keep things simple this time. What His Majesty cares about is not what evil deeds Zhou Qian has done, nor Zhou Guifei's attitude. What he cares about is just cultivation! Don't tell me, you I have never heard of it. There was a saying in the palace that those who get Zhou Qian and Zhou Guifei can live forever."
Gangneung Road.
"These are all nonsense. If it were that simple, how many people would live forever!"
Silence shook her head disapprovingly.
"You and I think it's nonsense, but I'm afraid someone might think it's not nonsense."
Gangneung Road.
"Then what should we do? Can we really take Ye Ping's head and hand it over to His Majesty?"
After being silent for a long time, he said slowly.
"Of course not! If Ye Ping is killed, the night watchers will be in chaos. The Jingan Division will be restless, and an explosion in the Qinghe Prefecture Caves is imminent. Now, the Jingan Division cannot withstand such twists and turns!"
Jiang Ling shook his head without thinking.
Qinghe Prefecture Caves!
Hearing the sound in silence, the corners of his eyes immediately twitched violently.
"Qinghe Prefecture, can't we defend it?!"
Silence asked urgently.
Qinghe Prefecture, the second city of the Tianxuan Empire, has a larger population than Lin'an.
A year ago, there was an earthquake in Qinghe Prefecture, and there were signs of the emergence of caves. The Grand Master Association sent five grand masters and two immortal masters to guard the area. It also dispatched many defenders and night watchers from the Jing'an Division to guard the area. The Immortal Grandmaster took the risk to open the gap, tried to enter in advance, and suppressed the cave to avoid chaos.
Over the past year, the situation in Qinghe Prefecture has been calm. Shen Mo thought that the situation was under control and Qinghe Prefecture was safe.
But now listening to Jiang Ling's opinion, even Qinghe Prefecture, which is so heavily guarded, will still be as undefendable as Yueyang Prefecture.
"The people of Qinghe Prefecture have begun to move out, but the news is controlled, so no one in Lin'an knows yet. Otherwise, there will be a big panic if Qinghe falls!" Jiang Ling nodded, then stared at Silence and said : "When the time comes, I'm afraid you will be required to lead the Nighthawks of the two flags there. You must be mentally prepared!"
"Kill the underground bandits, that's what I want!" Shen Mo nodded without hesitation, and then continued to ask Jiang Ling with doubts on his face: "Five grandmasters and two immortal grandmasters, can't suppress the Qinghe underground cave? They How are you doing, are there any losses?"
"Two dead and five injured. Fortunately, the injuries of the two immortal masters were not too serious, and they also caused considerable losses to each other. Otherwise, the Qinghe Cave would have exploded now! However, the two of them will not Grandmaster Mie also has an inference that perhaps the current situation is just a test from the underground side!" Jiang Ling said slowly.
Two grandmasters died! Even the immortal grandmaster was injured!
If this is all a test by the other party, then how terrible will the situation be when they completely explode?!
Silence fell completely.
The horror of the situation in Qinghe Cave may be far beyond his expectation!
And at this moment, he completely understood why Jiang Ling said he must keep Ye Ping.
Chapter completed!
