"Yin Niang, when we entered the hall before, we saw a mummy sitting on the dragon chaise in the hall. Do you know who that person is?" Zhao Yan took advantage of Yin Niang's opportunity to come in to deliver food and inquire again.

"This..." Yin Niang showed a hesitant look when she heard Zhao Yan's question. Finally, she shook her head gently and said, "I...I don't know either."

When Zhao Yan and Yan Yuru heard Yin Niang's answer, they looked at each other. Judging from Yin Niang's performance, she must have known the origin of the mummy, but she didn't seem to dare to say it. From this we can see that the mummy should have a very good origin. In fact, judging from the appearance of the mummy in a dragon robe, Zhao Yan has already guessed, but she doesn't know whether her guess is correct.

"Hehe, the prince wants to know the identity of the corpse, so he just asked me directly. Why ask a little girl?" At this moment, Xu Dezu suddenly heard the sharp voice from outside the study room, and then the door was pushed open. Xu Dezu walked in from the face with a steady pace.

Seeing Xu Dezu come in, a trace of pain flashed across Yan Yuru's face, and she turned around and went behind the screen, as if she didn't want to see Xu Dezu's current appearance. Yin Niang saluted to the other party in a little panic, and Xu Dezu waved her hand and asked her to retreat.

"Haha, I thought Eunuch Xu had forgotten me. Eunuch Xu should have encountered a lot of trouble these days, right?" Zhao Yan said with a smile. After he disappeared, Zhao Shu would definitely go crazy. Xu Dezu had not seen anyone for several days. The only explanation is that his power should have suffered a considerable blow. After all, Huang Wude must know that his disappearance is related to the mysterious organization.

"Hehe, it's just a little trouble. Although Huang Wude has some talent, he has limited understanding of the power under my command. This time he only caught a few irrelevant people and couldn't ask anything at all. So the prince can live here with confidence." Xu Dezu smiled proudly at this time. Although Huang Wude's crazy search brought him a lot of trouble, he successfully kept the core secrets of the organization, so he gained the upper hand in this game.

Seeing the other party's smug look, Zhao Yan couldn't help but feel a slump in his heart. It seemed that the rescue hoped for the outside world was too slim. However, he was silent on the surface, but instead smiled again and changed the subject: "Ephess Xu said just now, let me ask you directly about the mummy in the hall. I wonder if Eunuch Xu can tell me?"

"Since the prince wants to know, it's better to go to the hall with the old slave. We can talk slowly!" Xu Dezu smiled proudly again. After confirming that the Song Dynasty court could not find this place, he had already regarded Zhao Yan as his toy in his palm. He wanted to slowly enjoy the feeling of playing with the Song Dynasty prince in his palms.

"Haha. Since Eunuch Xu invited me, I am still begging me. It's really boring to keep it here for a few days and nights." Zhao Yan also laughed deliberately, as if he didn't have the slightest awareness of being imprisoned. This is mainly because Zhao Yan knew Xu Dezu's current mood. If he was very weak at this time, he would not only lose his face, but also make Xu Dezu underestimate himself.

Yan Yuru, behind the screen, heard that Zhao Yan was going to the hall with Xu Dezu, and she was worried about Zhao Yan's safety. She ran out from behind the screen and said, "I want to go together too!"

"You stay here!" Xu Dezu said coldly when he saw Yan Yuru, with an unquestionable tone in his voice. After saying that, he turned around and left the study. Zhao Yan turned around and smiled at Yan Yuru, and then followed him. Yan Yuru wanted to follow him, but when he walked to the door, he was stopped by the guards. This made her only watch Zhao Yan's back disappear into the dark corridor with a worried look on her face.

Zhao Yan followed Xu Dezu to the hall. Compared to when he came here a few days ago, the hall now had many torches and candles lit. It looked brightly lit, and what surprised Zhao Yan even more was that he actually saw Kong standing in the hall. He had not seen him for many days. Lawk seemed much haggard, but it seemed that nothing else should have happened.

When Zhao Yan came in, Lekong also saw him and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I didn't expect you, Prince, to come too!"

"Haha, after hearing about Kong's Xiangji Temple, I naturally couldn't stand by and watch. As a result, I ran around and ran here alone. Now we are brothers in trouble." Zhao Yan also laughed when he saw Kong. Although he had guessed that Kong should be fine before, it was not until he saw him with his own eyes that his heart finally let go.

Seeing that Zhao Yan could still laugh, Lekong couldn't help but admire him, but at this moment, Xu Dezu suddenly interrupted them and pointed to the mummy sitting there in a dragon robe in the hall and said, "The prince wants to know the origin of this corpse in the hall, Lekong, please introduce it!"

When he heard Kong and knew the origin of this mummy, Zhao Yan couldn't help but look at him curiously. However, at this time, Kong looked at Xu Dezu with some anger, and then Zhao Yan said helplessly: "This corpse is my grandfather. He wanted to restore the country, but unfortunately there was no hope of restoring the country, so he built this palace underground. It is said that it is exactly the same as the Chugong Hall in the palace. When he was still alive, he often sat here in a dragon robe and was placed here after his death."

As soon as Lekong finished speaking, Xu Dezu suddenly burst into laughter a little crazy. After a long time, he stopped right Kong and said, "Are you not a friend of the prince? Why didn't you tell the truth to your friends? It's true that he is your grandfather, but he is also a madman. He spent the master's manpower and material resources to build this hall just to satisfy his little fantasy, and he personally made me what he is now. So I placed him here, so that he would not be at peace after his death, and the second was to satisfy his dream of becoming the emperor!"

When Xu Dezu said the above words, his face was full of crazy expressions, which made Zhao Yan feel a little chill. In fact, he had already guessed before that the mummy in the hall was probably Xu Dezu's ancestors, but he didn't expect it to be his biological father. Secondly, Xu Dezu said that his father was a madman, but judging from his current appearance, he definitely didn't look like a normal person.

When Lekong looked at Xu Dezu's current appearance, a complicated look flashed across his face. As a son, he didn't know how he should face a father like Xu Dezu?

"Empress Xu, as an outsider, I don't want to interfere too much in your family affairs. Let's talk about the reason why you kidnapped me. Last time you left without saying anything. This makes me still wonder why you kidnapped me at such a big risk?" Zhao Yan asked again at this time. He knew that the relationship between Xu Dezu's family was very complicated, but the most important thing now is to figure out the reason why the other party kidnapped him, so that he could come up with corresponding countermeasures.

When Zhao Yan heard Zhao Yan ask this question, Xu Dezu turned his head and looked at him seriously. His gaze was like a hunter looking at a prey of interest. This made Zhao Yan feel furious. Finally, he finally saw Xu Dezu talking: "Actually, the reason for kidnapping the prince is not complicated. I just want to use the prince's talent to help me complete the great cause of restoring the country."

"I? Help you complete the great cause of restoring the country?" Zhao Yan said incredible when he heard this. He even suspected that this should be the most ridiculous reason he had heard. Not to mention whether he has the ability to help Xu Dezu, even if he has, he is the prince of the Song Dynasty. How could he help an outsider overthrow the Song Dynasty and restore the country?

Xu Dezu seemed not surprised by Zhao Yan's reaction. He smiled and said, "The prince may think this is ridiculous, but I don't think so. You have encountered immortal fate and know countless wonderful knowledge, such as the powerful weapons in the military weapon prison. If the prince can design some more powerful weapons and then I will equip the army, what army can stop it in the world at that time?"

"You... don't you think you can dominate the world by relying solely on some powerful weapons, right?" Zhao Yan asked in shock when he heard this. Although powerful weapons can bring some advantages in war, unless Zhao Yan can invent machine guns and complete ammunition supply, it is impossible to win the world by relying solely on primitive gunpowder weapons.

"Hahaha~ Of course it's not just weapons. Didn't the prince keep giving lectures some time ago? The subjects of astronomy, geography, physics, mathematics, etc. will set a precedent for a generation. I believe that if the prince can use this knowledge to cultivate a group of talents, then I will use these talents, and coupled with the strength I have accumulated over the years, I will definitely be invincible. Not to mention the Song Dynasty, even the Western Xia and the Northern Liao Dynasty are nothing!" Xu Dezu laughed again. This is the real reason why he took great risks to kidnap Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan couldn't help but show a solemn expression when he heard this. He never expected that the first person who saw the importance of spreading knowledge was Xu Dezu, and he also wanted to train talents for him very forward-lookingly. When these talents grow up, even if they cannot reach Zhao Yan's level, they should never be underestimated. They will have a huge impact on current industry, agriculture, commerce, etc. At that time, Xu Dezu may really be able to restore the country successfully with the help of this power.

Think about the two industrial revolutions in history, which did not cause great turmoil in the country and society, and that was the natural development of science and technology. If Zhao Yan spreads all his knowledge, coupled with Xu Dezu's promotion, it would be like a technological explosion. Even Zhao Yan himself could not predict the final result.
