"Where are you coming out?"

Bai Yu felt creepy and chills ran down his spine.

Ning Yi shook her head, "We haven't found any trace yet. Your Majesty has sent trustworthy personnel to track it down."

Bai Yu was confused, "Who discovered the old emperor coming out first?"

Ning Yi said, "Last night in the middle of the night, the guards of the imperial mausoleum made a patrol as usual and discovered a hole. At first, they thought it was a hole dug by a bold tomb robber. They reported it to His Majesty in panic, and His Majesty immediately sent someone to go there.

After investigation, they found that it was not a robbery hole at all, but a hole dug from the inside of the imperial mausoleum... The investigators followed this hole into the imperial mausoleum and found that the old emperor's coffin lid had been halfway opened.

, the old emperor has disappeared."

On a dark and windy night, in the dim and deep imperial mausoleum, the coffin suddenly moved, and the lid of the coffin slowly opened. The old emperor suddenly turned over and sat up. His hands grew black and long nails, and he dug through the imperial mausoleum with his bare hands.

Climbing out of the imperial mausoleum, he looked up at the moon and dark clouds in the sky, with a sly smile on his lips... Bai Yu's scalp went numb just thinking about this scene.

Bai Yu frowned and said, "When I killed Hun Jun, the blood had been drained and the five true dragons had dissipated. Logically speaking, he should be completely dead, right?"

Several important officials in the imperial court were also confused, but it was their first time to "slay a dragon", their first time to "regicide", and their first time to kill an "emperor", so they had no experience.

"It is certain that the five true dragons have dissipated. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the new emperor to condense the true dragons. As for whether the Hunjun is completely dead, it is difficult to determine. Ordinary people will definitely die if they drain their blood, but the emperor will if he drains his blood."

We don’t know if he won’t die, and there are no records of this in ancient books.”

"Didn't King Jinnan check his breath and feel his heart at that time? King Jinnan should know best, right?"...

Everyone's eyes turned to King Jinnan.

King Nan of Jin explained, "When Hunjun was about to die, I did feel his breath and heart pulse. At that time, Hunjun's breath was weak and his heart pulse was weak. I asked King Ming to insist on calling me again, and King Ming continued to call me for tea.

, Hunjun fell down and remained motionless, and the five true dragons disappeared accordingly. Everyone thought that Hunjun was dead, so I didn’t check again. King Ming should know this best.”

Hearing this, everyone's eyes turned to Bai Yu.

"?" Bai Yu was stunned. Father-in-law, you don't have such a "cheating son-in-law"!

Several important officials of the imperial court asked.

"The Hunjun fell, and the five true dragons disappeared. All our civil and military officials followed the new emperor to the Daqian Hall to pay homage to the new emperor. Only King Ming and the eldest princess were left on the roof of the Dragon Body Hall. Did King Ming notice anything unusual?

?”

"What did Prince Ming discover?"...

Groove! Bai Yu shuddered when he thought about it. At that time, he was nestled in Jinhua's arms. The two of them were sitting on the eaves watching the sunset. The "old emperor's corpse" was behind them...

Fortunately, the old emperor did not fake the corpse at that time, otherwise he and Jinhua would be dead.

"That's enough."

The fifth prince of the new emperor spoke with a gloomy face, "Now is not the time to shirk responsibility. The top priority is to find the foolish king and kill him completely!"

Bai Yu was just about to say that he could track the old emperor, but he saw the old eunuch coming in to report, "Your Majesty, the eldest princess's consort, Captain Zheng Tong, whom you summoned by name, is here."

Bai Yu understood that he was trying to track the old emperor with the help of Zheng Tong's Eyes of Deception, and he remained silent. However, Zheng Tong's Eyes of Deception could only detect illusions... but it didn't seem to be possible.

track.

Not only Zheng Tong came, but Zheng Yaner also came, and father and daughter paid homage to the new emperor together.

When the new emperor told the story about the old emperor crawling out, the corners of Zheng Tong's mouth twitched and Zheng Yan'er was dumbfounded. Obviously, they were also shocked.

This matter is extremely serious!

If the old emperor went to find the eldest prince and the fourth prince, negotiated terms, obtained the military power from the two princes, and counterattacked the imperial city, wouldn't the world be in chaos again?

How to reconcile two emperors?

Everyone in the Daqian Dynasty had to choose a side. Wouldn’t that mean the dynasty would be destroyed?

Although the old emperor is unpopular and most people should side with the new emperor, there are always die-hards, opportunists and people with no good intentions who will side with the old emperor.

Moreover, the new emperor himself "forced the palace" and "killed the king" to ascend to power, which was an improper position and could easily attract criticism.

Of course, the advantage is still on the side of the new emperor. The new emperor has the luck of the dynasty, masters the rules of the dynasty system, and condenses the three true dragons. He is in his prime years. The old emperor has lost the luck of the dynasty and has lost the true dragon. It's a death struggle.

The best thing is not to even struggle to the death. Killing the old emperor before he "gets power" is the best way!

Regardless of whether Zheng Tong could track down the old emperor, the new emperor directly issued a death order, "Zheng Tong listens to the order, you have three days to track down the Hunjun!"

"Zheng Tong, take the order."

Zheng Tong looked serious and bowed his hands.

Zheng Yan'er was a little dissatisfied and opened her mouth to say something, but Zheng Tong glanced at her and stopped her from speaking.

Today is no better than in the past.

When the old emperor was in power, the eldest princess was extremely favored. Even if the eldest princess wanted the stars in the sky, the old emperor would find a way to have them picked off.

The father and daughter have the support of the eldest princess, so they are not afraid of anyone, and anyone can contradict them. But now that the new emperor is in power, the eldest princess has lost power, and openly contradicting the new emperor is no joke.

Zheng Yaner also understood and had no choice but to remain silent.

The new emperor said, "This matter should not be publicized, nor should outsiders be involved. We also invite Jin Nan Wang, Ning Wang, Ming Wang and Ning Yi Marquis to personally go out and go with Zheng Tong to kill the faint king again. If you want to see him alive, If you die, you will see your corpse!"

"As commanded."......

King Nan of Jin, King Ning, Bai Yu and Ning Yi accepted the order together.

It's not too late, the sooner the better.

The four of them, together with Zheng Tong and his daughter, a total of six people, hurriedly left the palace and all got on their horses.

Bai Yu took a look and saw that they were all famous horses from Huohuang, Yanchi, and Wushan.

After leaving the imperial city, we headed straight to the imperial mausoleum.

When we arrived at the imperial mausoleum, we saw the dark imperial guards taking over the place.

Bai Yu noticed some blood stains that had not been cleaned up and asked, "Why are there so many blood stains?"

Ning Yi said softly, "In order to prevent the news from leaking, His Majesty executed all the guards of the thousand imperial tombs on the grounds that the imperial tombs were stolen and the guards were derelict in their duties."

Okay... Bai Yu can't say much, the death of the imperial mausoleum guard was really unjust...

Zheng Tong said directly, "We are ordered to investigate the case."

However, all the imperial guards had expressionless faces and had no intention of giving way...but looked at the King of Jinnan with questioning eyes. Apparently these imperial guards were transferred from the "Jinnan Camp". It can also be seen from the armor system.

The King of Jinnan waved his hand and said "get out of the way". Maybe he was scolding these Qiu Ba in his heart for not having any vision. Zheng Tong even said "he is ordered to investigate the case" and still refused to get out of the way. This was not to put him at risk. Roast it?

Fortunately, there are no other outsiders here. Otherwise, what would the new emperor think if the news reached his ears?

Zheng Tong looked at the King of Jinnan meaningfully, without saying anything, and drove his horse into the imperial mausoleum first.

Several people followed.

When he arrived at the entrance of the cave, Zheng Tong got off his horse and bent over directly to get in.

Since the imperial mausoleum had been sealed and there was no other entrance, a few people had no choice but to follow them in.

The imperial mausoleum is worthy of being an imperial mausoleum. Although it is dark inside, it is not damp. It does not have a spooky and scary feeling. Instead, it feels a bit sacred and solemn. Of course, the main reason is that this is a newly built imperial mausoleum and it will definitely become damp over time.

When I arrived at the place where the coffin was placed, I saw that the coffin lid had indeed been opened halfway.

Zheng Tong first took out the demon detection disk, which is a professional habit of the demon exterminator. He looked at the demon detection disk and there was no response. "My demon detection disk is of the highest grade. Except for the beast king, no monster can hide it." My monster detection board shows that there are no monsters in the imperial mausoleum."

Isn't this nonsense... If the mausoleum of the majestic Daqian Dynasty was sneaked in by monsters, wouldn't it become a joke?

It was important to track down the old emperor, and the few of them were not in the mood to joke. King Nan of Jin suddenly pushed open the coffin of the queen next to him. When he saw that there was no problem, he covered it back.

Zheng Tongdao said, "The King of Jinnan is interested. He must take a look at the queen's body to avoid any omissions."

Prince Ning urged, "Hurry up and track Hun Jun's whereabouts. Don't worry about this."

Zheng Tong glanced at him and said, "Don't worry, Prince Ning. This is just like solving a crime and eliminating demons. It's best not to miss any details. I once only focused on the main goal and ignored some details, so that I was slapped."

Uncle Zheng, I suspect you are thinking about me... Bai Yu feels.

Prince Ning wanted to vomit blood, "Nowadays, it is not about solving the case and eliminating the monster, but finding the Hunjun is the most urgent thing. Why are you not in a hurry at all? Don't forget that His Majesty only gave you three days."

Bai Yu's heart moved. It was true that Zheng Tong was not in a hurry at all. It was a bit abnormal. He seemed to have found some clues... He opened his investigative eyes, scanned them, and understood immediately.

The investigative eye did not find any energy color. There is only one possibility: the old emperor is dead!

But for some unknown reason, he suddenly "pretended to be dead", dug through the imperial mausoleum, and crawled out.

"It seems that the investigative eye is not omnipotent. It cannot track dead people..."

Bai Yu discovered the blind spot of his investigative eye.

Zheng Yan'er took out a pair of white gloves and a white handkerchief from her large black robe. She bent down and put the white handkerchief into the coffin, which was stained with a bit of disgusting black mucus.

Bai Yu moved to the side. Zheng Yan'er bent down and almost bumped into him, so it was better to avoid it.

Zheng Yan'er handed the white handkerchief to Zheng Tong.

Zheng Tong took it and explained to several people, "This kind of black mucus, with a bit of sour and sweet taste, is obviously not the normal relics of the corpse. There is a kind of Gu in southern Xinjiang called Corpse Control Gu. After multiplying in the corpse, , this black mucus will be excreted, so the old emperor was not really resurrected, but was controlled by the Gu, dug through the imperial mausoleum, and crawled out."

Look, what is professional... Bai Yu admires that demon exterminators like Zheng Tong are professional in solving crimes, while he relies entirely on his investigative eye. Of course, under normal circumstances, it is faster to solve crimes with his investigative eye. .....

Bai Yu also understood that the investigative eye could even see the gray aura of ordinary people, but could not see the energy color of this kind of Gu insect, which meant that this kind of Gu insect was not a monster and had no energy color at all.
