Chapter 1005: The Fish That Slipped Through the Net
The original owner, Su, felt that his life was also in danger...... Therefore, his most urgent and strong desire now is to save his life.
Just before Qin Gu entered the original owner's body, that is, yesterday evening, more than a thousand Praetorian Guards surrounded their palace, saying that a thief had entered the prince's palace and wanted to search it comprehensively.
After reaching the age of sixteen, the prince had to move out of the palace and live in the Chonghua Palace next to the capital.
There are a total of eight princes living in Chonghua Palace, including the original owner.
On the pretext of searching for thieves, the Praetorian Guard arrested all eight princes, and then found out what letters from the place where they lived, communicating with foreign enemies, seeking power and usurping the throne, and so on.
In fact, because their father, the previous emperor, was very powerful and strong, and they had a very smart and benevolent eldest brother in front, they didn't dare to have any other thoughts at all.
And he has always been very cautious in doing things, and there are only eunuchs and palace maids around him, not even guards.
There is no such thing as a foreign enemy seeking power and usurping power.
But people don't care what your real situation is, all they need is an excuse to kill them.
So, after they locked up the princes, they prepared to ...... the next day That is, at noon today, he was dragged to the gate of the city to behead the public.
............ Qin Gu sorted out all the reasons and figured out the situation in front of him.
Ah, where is this "feeling that I am going to be killed", but I am about to be killed.
However, Zisu is dying, and the thoughts of the soul can still be so jumping, and the mind can still be so active...... If you give him an opportunity and a platform, he may not be the one who removes obstacles in order to consolidate his position.
Qin Gu quickly cleared his mind, and then checked his existing methods.
Most of the energy crystals in the three-foot space were empty for hours, and they hadn't had time to return to the hut to store them.
In addition, there are only some medicinal powders, two pieces of dry food, flints, water spirit runes, and so on.
By the way, there is also the most important Star Sword.
She didn't have a chance to use it for the last hour, but this time, it finally has a place to use.
In the dark and damp cell, the foul air was filled with the smell of feces, urine, blood, rancidity, and so on, but fortunately, Qiangu had experienced a more difficult environment before and quickly adapted to it.
There was a cold chill on both the ass and back...... There wasn't even a broken mat or straw in the cell, probably because they thought they were all about to die, and it would be a waste to give them.
The low cries echoed in the cell, making the air more solemn and oppressive, and their fear, which made the air tremble, and the influence of each other made it even more terrifying.
Full of sadness and despair.
Qin Gu subconsciously separated himself from the person next to him, because the other party's body kept trembling, and then kept muttering, "I'm going to die, I'm going to die, what to do."
This is already a clear fact, if there is no extraordinary means, what can be done?
She is not in the mood to appease these people now, what can she say? Could it be that she said: Don't worry, I will help you out? Or do you say: Don't be afraid of ......? You are going to die, fear is instinct, you advise people not to be afraid?
Besides, the identity of the original owner made it impossible for Qin Gu to publicize at this time.
To put it bluntly, once their eldest brother dies, even Zihai, who is ranked sixteenth, can be the emperor, why are these "elder brothers" not qualified to sit on the throne of the emperor?
In short, once there is no threat of life and death, these people are the competitors of the original owner.
That's right, in addition to using his own means to save the original owner, Qin Gu is already thinking about the road ahead.
According to the memories of the original owner, as soon as the emperor and eldest brother died, the court was in turmoil, and the situation outside was also in the midst of civil strife. Who has such a powerful iron hand to put this chaos right?
Looking at the more than 20 brothers and brothers, there are none.
Besides, Qin Gu doesn't have time to meet people and assist the other party to become the emperor now.
After a few weeks of running the Innate Qi Alchemy Technique, the thin aura gathered in the body, and before it could accumulate in the dantian, it was absorbed by the muscles and muscles of the body, as well as repairing the injuries that had been suffered during the capture of them by those rough Praetorian Guards.
...... For the people in this cell, they spent an incomparably long and difficult night, and the dawn meant that they were one step closer to death.
A few rays of sunlight shine diagonally through the narrow window above, casting them onto the ground.
Countless turbid dust could be seen flying in the air in the beams of light, making people feel that every breath of air they breathed was filled with dust and felt a little suffocated.
There was a clatter of locks opening at the door of the old house, and a group of wolf-like Praetorian Guards rushed in, like chickens, carrying or dragging out the princes, who had been paralyzed into a lump of fright.
Whether you want it or not, you will be sent to the execution ground.
At this moment, the small officer of the Praetorian Guard outside found that a prince was missing.
The petty clerk asked the princes to get them out, and then sent people to search every corner of the cell.
However, the prince seemed to have suddenly evaporated from the world.
conducted an investigation and found that the one missing was the twelve princes, Zisu.
This time they have been planning for a long time, to catch the rest of the princes, if there is a fish that slips through the net, they will be skinned.
However, as time passed, there was never a whereabouts of the Twelve Princes.
They tortured the other princes one by one, but they didn't gain anything.
The cell was pitch black, and they were all dead in fear, and they didn't know where their twelfth brother had gone.
Seeing that the scheduled time for execution had come, he could only bite the bullet and get the remaining eight to the execution ground, and then said that the other prince had absconded in fear of crime and was robbed by his henchmen - this dump was too smooth.
However, on the execution ground, when the execution is about to be executed, it is like the classic scene of many robbery sites.
A voice suddenly came: "Leave someone under the knife-"
Then, a figure jumps from the crowd of onlookers to the execution stage.
The crowd was in an uproar, but they didn't expect this descendant to be so bold that he would dare to openly contradict the executor.
For today's execution, they also know one thing, it is said that several sons of the emperor gathered a crowd to rebel, and the evidence is conclusive, so they were publicly beheaded for public display.
People didn't think about whether this was true or not, but there was still a trace of excitement and restless gossip in their hearts.
After all, some of these people have only been Jing Guo for more than ten years, and their comrades in the previous generation are still fighting to the death with Jing Guo...... To put it bluntly, their sense of identity with this country is too low, and even resistant, if it weren't for the high-pressure policy, they would have rebelled a long time ago.
