Wu Sansi's heart at this time was really as bright as opening two doors.

Boom!

As soon as he stretched out his hand, he grabbed Cui Geng's neck, and said viciously: "Cui Geng, it is because of you that the thief was able to return to the palace, so that Princess Jincheng died tragically, how can this king tolerate you?" Now, you can go with me to the court before His Majesty! โ€

"Wait!"

Feng Changqing is worthy of being a famous general seed, and until now, he still maintains his composure. As soon as he stretched out his hand, he grabbed Wu Sansi's wrist, chuckled, and said, "King Liang is a thousand years old, Cui Jingzhao has broken the law, and his majesty will deal with it." As for you...... Please be calm! โ€

"Let it go...... Hands! Wu Sansi felt as if his right hand was being caught by a big iron hoop, not only was it difficult to move, but the pain was unbearable, and he said angrily: "Feng Changqing, you dare to be wild to this king?" โ€

Feng Changqing said-for-tat: "As long as you don't go wild to Cui Jingzhao, the last general will naturally not be wild to you." โ€

"Okay, you've got it!" Wu Sansi let go of Cui Geng's neck, gritted his teeth and said, "Cui Geng is about to fall, I think you can be arrogant for a few days?" โ€

"Master Cui is going to fall, that's not necessarily!"

After finishing speaking, Feng Changqing turned around, looked at the armor soldier and said, "You said they are all dead?" Why are you still alive? โ€

"I ...... I mean, all the brothers who went down were dead except me! โ€

"Who killed them?"

"It's those two eunuchs, Su Dayuan and Ma Sheng! There is a mechanism in the tunnel, and they suddenly attack and kill several brothers! โ€

"Huh? To put it this way...... Those two eunuchs didn't die? โ€

"They? Of course not. โ€

"What about Yang Wulian?"

"Yang Tingshi is also dead."

Wu Sansi couldn't wait to interject: "What about Princess Jincheng? โ€

"Villain...... Didn't see it. โ€

Wipe!

Wu Sansi's face was full of shame, so he didn't scold out loud, what is Nima called! How can it be said that all of them died, but only one Yang Wulian died? I was so excited just now, didn't I become a villain in vain?

Chen Xuanli's heart sank, Yang Wulian died, and his dream of being promoted to the third level must have come to naught. But if the life of Princess Jincheng can be saved, things may not be out of control.

His mind raced and he asked, "You ran back by yourself?" Or was it caught and put back? โ€

The armor soldier bowed his head slightly and said, "Villain...... It was put back. The eunuch asked the villain to bring a message to Cui Jingzhao. โ€

"What?"

"If Cui Jingzhao wants Princess Jincheng, please go down and negotiate with them in person."

Cui Geng said: "They didn't say it, just let the official go down alone?" โ€

"Not really. However, there are quite a lot of mechanisms in the secret passage, so Cui Jingzhao should be very careful. โ€

"That's it......" Cui Geng himself has nothing to shirk, anyway, if he doesn't go down, it's a dead end.

He looked at the people around him: "Who wants to go down with this official?" โ€

"The last will go!" Feng Changqing took the lead in expressing his position.

Immediately after, Song Genhai, Ma Hua, Huang Youwei, Dramatist Kai and others also hugged their fists slightly and said, "I am willing to live and die with adults!" โ€

"Good."

Cui Gengyi turned around, looked at Chen Xuanli, and said, "General Chen, what about you?" โ€

"I ......"

Chen Xuanli said in his heart, pit father, seven of the eight people went down and died, you can just send them to death yourself, and ask me what are you doing?

He said carefully: "If the last general goes down, who saved the princess, it is not clear." Therefore, in order to avoid the suspicion of stealing the credit, the last general will not go down. โ€

"That's the case......" Cui Geng said meaningfully: "Okay, since General Chen has concerns, this official will not be difficult to force." โ€

In fact, Cui Geng didn't want Chen Xuanli to go down the secret path with him, and he expected him to react like this.

In the historical records of later generations, Chen Xuanli was loyal to Li Longji all his life, but when Ma Weipo mutinied, it was he who took the initiative to participate in the coercion of Tang Xuanzong. It can be seen that this person's loyalty is conditional, and in the end, it is his own life that comes first.

Although Chen Xuanli's response seems reasonable, the scene is full of human spirits, how can his little cleverness be hidden? No matter what the outcome of this matter is, it will be difficult for Chen Xuanli to gain Wu Zetian's trust in the future. In other words, he is equivalent to cutting off one of Li Longji's arms in advance.

After pitting Li Longji's hand, Cui Geng beckoned everyone and was about to enter the secret passage.

Wu Zhuang suddenly spoke up and said, "Wait, Cui Jingzhao, let's go down together." โ€

Cui Geng was puzzled: "There are many crises in the secret passage, Wu Zhonglang, why do you bother?" โ€

Wu Zhuang glanced at Chen Xuanli and said, "The miscellaneous family is not as good as some people, and it is easy to be appreciated by His Majesty." All I can rely on is loyalty to Your Majesty. Now that Princess Jincheng is in trouble, Your Majesty is anxious, who will go down if the miscellaneous family can't go down? โ€

The implication is that Chen Xuanli is not very loyal to Wu Zetian. It seems that Chen Xuanli, a rising star, really put a lot of pressure on Wu Zhuang! Very good, with such a stark contrast, Chen Xuanli will fall out of favor even more in front of Wu Zetian.

Cui Geng said happily: "Gonggong Wu is really sincere to His Majesty, and the officials admire it." In that case, let's go down together? โ€

"Let's go!"

Feng Changqing and Huang Youwei took the lead in full armor, and Cui Geng and others rushed in.

This secret passage was very spacious at the beginning, but it became narrower and narrower, and in the end, only one person was allowed to move forward, and it was really impossible to open it, no wonder those seven armorers would be killed by the shadow.

MCA nervously looked around to see if there were any possible mechanisms. But along the way, there was no mechanism to activate.

After walking for a while, it suddenly opened up in front of me and arrived in a hall.

But when he saw the corpses of the seven guards, they fell to the ground. Two men dressed in eunuch attire sit on either side of a stone table.

On the stone table, in addition to a wine jug and two wine cups, there was a hideous human head, which was Yang Wulian's.

"Cui Jingzhao, you're here." The eunuch on the left said lightly.

Cui Geng didn't know them, and said in a deep voice: "You are Su Dayuan and Ma Sheng?" โ€

"Yes, there is Su Dayuan below. Cui Jingzhao, you'd better be optimistic about your people, if you want Princess Jincheng to live, don't let them act rashly. โ€

"I understand." Cui Gengdao: "Where is Princess Jincheng?" Can you let me see you? If you both think it's necessary, I can exchange myself for Princess Kaneshiro. She's still a kid, and I'm ......."

"Cui Jingzhao, there is no need to say any more." Su Dayuan waved his hand, drank a glass of wine, and said, "The so-called negotiation with Cui Jingzhao is just our excuse. Could it be that now, our brothers still have a chance to live? โ€

"Then you want the life of this official?"

Su Dayuan sighed and said, "That's not necessarily. Master Cui, you should sit down first, and listen to our brothers talk slowly. โ€

"It's fine."

There are also many stone tables and chairs here, and Cui Geng and others sat down.

Su Dayuan said: "Cui Jingzhao should already know about the life experience of our brothers, right?" โ€

"I heard that your hometown was hit by a disaster, and Yang Wulian swallowed the disaster relief money and was forced into the palace."

"That's true." Su Dayuan said: "After entering the palace, our brother was bullied. Thanks to the people of the Four Seas Gang, we have a firm foothold in the palace and a certain position. It can be said that the Four Seas Gang has a great kindness to us. It was precisely because of the hint of He Qian, the leader of the Four Seas Gang, that our brothers were not sent to death in vain. โ€

Ma Sheng continued: "We are not loyal to the imperial court, and our original plan was to repay the favor of the Four Seas Gang with this life. Unexpectedly, today, God opened his eyes and sent Yang Wulian, a thief, to our brothers. โ€

"Wait......" Cui Geng wondered, "Didn't Yang Wulian come down with four armor soldiers?" How come there are only seven corpses here? Where are the four armorers? โ€

"I don't know. This dog official is very familiar with the Fengxian Palace, and he entered the secret passage alone, and as a result, he fell into the hands of our brothers. However, at the last moment, he activated a mechanism that we didn't know about, blocking the exit of the secret passage. โ€

Cui Geng guessed that Yang Wulian probably wanted to take the opportunity to escape for his life, rather than discovering the whereabouts of the princess. Therefore, the four armorers before may have been killed by him somewhere in the Fengxian Palace.

"And then?" he asked. โ€

"Then, our brother got his revenge, and I felt that God was also long-eyed. Cui Jingzhao, you have a very good official reputation, and it is also your duty to deal with the Four Seas Gang. It is said that our brother wants your life because of the Four Seas Gang, but he doesn't take it very seriously. Su Dayuan smiled bitterly and continued: "Our brother is not afraid of death, but he is really afraid that after death, he will be concocted by God. So, I don't want to kill you. โ€

Cui Geng was overjoyed and said: "So, did the two of you agree to let Princess Jincheng go?" โ€

"Oh." Ma Sheng shook his head and said: "Let go of Princess Jincheng, that is, it is not appropriate to live up to the grace of the Gang Master He." Eventually, my brother came up with a compromise. โ€
