Two days later, Long Shicai came back from the military camp.
As soon as he returned to the Imperial Prefect's Mansion, he heard about Qin Wu's execution.
He immediately sent someone to call Long Qianche into the study, and looked at him with a livid face, "Qianche, during the two days when I was away, did you have Qin Wu killed?"
Long Qianche stepped forward, cupped his hands and said: "Father, Qin Wu intended to assassinate the saint. He committed a capital crime and should be executed!"
"You!" Long Shitian said angrily, "Qin Wu is my right-hand man, and you killed him without my consent. Do you take me as your father seriously?"
Long Qianche raised his eyes and said seriously: "Father, Qin Wu secretly murdered the saint without your consent in an attempt to sabotage your plan. Of course, such a person should be killed, otherwise there will be endless troubles!"
Hearing this, Long Shitian¡¯s anger subsided a little.
He said in a cold voice: "Well, why did Qin Wu murder the saint?"
Long Qianche's eyes flashed slightly and he said: "Because when Qin Wu led his men to assassinate the saint, many brothers were killed by Chu Xuanchen, so Qin Wu has always wanted to avenge his brothers. This time he saw you and I were not at home, Then he had a murderous intention towards the saint, and that¡¯s why he went to assassinate the saint.¡±
Long Shitian narrowed his eyes suspiciously, "Really?"
Long Qianche quickly lowered his head, "This is what Qin Wu said when he was captured. It should be true."
Long Shitian glanced at Long Qianche meaningfully, and coldly rolled his sleeves, "Okay, I believe you for the time being. Since Qin Wu has surrendered, I will no longer pursue this matter. But there is one thing, I feel It¡¯s a little strange.¡±
"What's the matter?" Long Qianche asked.
Long Shitian said: "Do you feel something strange about opening the underground palace this time?"
"What's weird?" Long Qianche looked serious.
Long Shitian took two steps thoughtfully and said: "According to historical records, after opening the underground palace, we can get the treasure. But this time not only is there no treasure, but it also puts everyone in danger. Now everyone suspects that the ancestors are deceiving the people. , Qian Che, what do you think?"
Long Qianche thought for a while and said: "What happened a hundred years ago is too long ago. No one can tell whether it is true or false. Maybe the people's guess is right. There are no treasures in this underground palace at all. This so-called century-old Could it be that the agreement was used by the ancestors to appease everyone and maintain the stability of the country?"
Long Shitian said: "Even if the ancestors' purpose is to maintain stability, they cannot deliberately set traps to harm their own people. In my opinion, these traps, poisonous insects and quicksand should be used to resist thieves!"
"Resist thieves? If there are no treasures in the underground palace, why do they need to set up so many traps?" Long Qianche asked doubtfully.
"This is exactly what I suspect. I suspect that there is actually a treasure in this underground palace, but something went wrong when opening it, so we encountered a trap." Long Shitian narrowed his eyes and said.
"Father, you mean that there is something wrong with the procedure for opening the treasure?" Long Qianche said in disbelief.
Long Shitian nodded grimly, "It's very possible that many treasure hiding places have real and fake doors, and all kinds of suspicious formations and mechanisms. Some of these mechanisms are real and some fake, some are false and some are real, just to confuse the thieves. . The queen guided the saint to open the treasure, and only the queen knows how to open it. The queen is very shrewd, and I suspect that she has hidden something from us, or has done some tricks in it. "
"Queen? Father, has the queen deceived everyone? What is her intention?" Long Qianche said coldly.
Long Shitian said in a deep voice: "She is weak now, so of course she is afraid that after opening the treasures, she will not be able to keep them."
Long Qianche was noncommittal.
The Queen was probably afraid that these treasures would be possessed by her father, so she tampered with them.
At this time, Long Shitian had an awe-inspiring look on his face, "It seems that the queen really did something in order to seize the treasure. I didn't expect that she would ignore the people for her own selfish purposes. I will enter the palace now." Ask her clearly!"
This time z.c*om Zhang Si. Long Shitian acted very righteously, but Long Qianche slightly raised the corners of his mouth, with a slightly thoughtful look in his eyes.
Soon, Long Shitian arrived at the palace in a sedan.
As soon as he arrived at the palace, he got off the sedan chair and walked angrily towards Lingyue Palace.
"See the Imperial Preceptor." When the servants in Lingyue Palace saw the Imperial Preceptor coming in a rage, they were frightened and hurriedly knelt down to salute him.
Long Shitian ignored them at all.With a gloomy face, he walked straight into the palace.
At this time, Xue Feiye, who was reviewing the memorial in front of the imperial court, looked up and saw Long Shitian walking towards her menacingly.
She immediately put down her brush and stood up coldly and proudly, "The Imperial Master is here in a hurry, what's the important matter?"
Long Shitian walked up to Xue Feiye and raised the corners of his lips coldly, "Don't you know why the queen is here?"
Xue Feiye waved her sleeves domineeringly: "I and the Imperial Master are not on the same page, so how can I know your purpose? If the Imperial Master has something to say, you might as well say it directly."
"Okay! The queen is really quick to talk!" Long Shitian said, rolled his eyes and said, "I ask you, why did we encounter so many traps when we opened the underground palace this time? Where is the treasure? Where is the treasure?"
Xue Feiye¡¯s heart skipped a beat, it turned out to be this.
But she was not afraid. She raised her eyebrows and said coldly: "How do I know? My responsibility is to open the underground palace. Since the underground palace has been opened, other things have nothing to do with me."
Long Shitian's face was livid, and he waved his sleeves coldly, "Queen, you can deceive others, but you cannot deceive me. History books record that there must be treasures after opening the underground palace, but you opened a bunch of traps to come out. I suspect that you are here. It was tampered with when it was turned on, so that¡¯s why it¡¯s like this.¡±
Xue Feiye sneered, "What evidence do you have? I'm telling you, this is the method passed down by our ancestors. I'm just following the instructions of our ancestors. As for why it's full of traps, you should ask the ancestors of the Xue family!"
"You!" When Long Shitian heard this, he suddenly became angry. He pointed at Xue Feiye and said sinisterly, "If you don't tell me the truth, do you believe that I killed the saint?"
Zhida z.com Zhixiao. Xue Feiye's eyes were stern, but she still said forcefully: "I don't know, even if you kill the saint, it's useless!"
Seeing that Xue Feiye refused to do this, Long Shitian narrowed his eyes coldly, "Queen, our ancestors would never set up these traps for no reason. Especially in a treasure hiding place like this, in order to defend against thieves, our ancestors would definitely create suspicions. , designing real and fake doors to deceive people. So I dare to conclude that there are treasures in this underground palace, but you have tampered with it and opened the fake door that your ancestors used to confuse thieves. You actually know how to open the real door. ,right?"
Xue Feiye sneered, "The saint and I were in the underground palace at that time. If I really did something, I wouldn't be able to escape. And as you can see, the saint was in critical condition at the time and almost died on the spot. If it was true, If there is a true door, then I have already opened the true door and rescued the saint, so how can I put her in danger?"
