After leaving the Golden Palace, Chu Yu frowned and saw that the royal guards were running towards this side. After identifying the direction, he lowered his head and accelerated towards the direction of the cellar. Because he was concerned about Cao Man's safety, Chu Yu did not notice Qian Shuntian who was following him far away.
As the core of the empire's power, politics and economy, it has only been a minute or two since the assassination in the Golden Palace. An alarm sounded in the city. I didn't understand what was going on before. The followers of the nobles and ministers were just standing outside the Golden Palace to guard, but now they are rushing towards the Golden Palace.
Chu Yu's clothes were now torn and ragged. As soon as he left the Golden Palace, he attracted the attention of the guards who were rushing towards the Golden Palace.
"Stop." An escort shouted to Chu Yu - now the news has been heard, someone assassinated the minister and His Majesty in the Golden Palace. The guards coming from the outside looked at Chu Yu who was dressed in disheveled clothes and thought he was a member of the rebels.
The royal guards who were calling out saw that Chu Yu did not listen to him, greeted his companions around him, and two or three people surrounded Chu Yu and walked over.
Seeing someone stopping him, Chu Yu frowned. Although he was not worried that these guards would capture him, he did not want to cause trouble. Since Luo Shishi asked him to go to the cellar, maybe Cao Man was in the cellar. Thinking of this, Chu Yu, who was afraid of the night and dreaming, no longer hesitated, and started running quickly outside the Golden Palace.
Chu Yu's strength has improved rapidly these days, and he had an unexpected opportunity before fighting with Wang Chuo. With his deliberate escape, the guards who originally wanted to stop Chu Yu watched Chu Yu disappear from their sight.
The cellar was located in the residential area of the royal family, not far from the Golden Palace. After getting rid of the royal family's pursuers, Chu Yu slowed down and began to search according to the address Sun Ce said. The panicked maids appeared in Chu Yu's sight, and Chu Yu's appearance also scared them.
Chu Yu ignored the maid who pointed at him in the distance. When he came to the entrance of the cellar and looked at the iron gate at the entrance of the cellar, Chu Yu couldn't help but be stunned.
He came here because Luo Shishi gave him a message. Since Luo Shishi pretended to be Princess Chang'an assassinating Qinglun's National Master, what else would she dare not do? Chu Yu was worried that Luo Shishi would make fun of him, and that he would force himself to break into the royal residence by then, and the crime would be a big or small one.
Since he came, he would be at peace. Chu Yu gritted his teeth and thought that he would not get a tiger's son if he could not enter the tiger's den. Just when he decided to forcibly destroy the iron gate of the cellar, a figure suddenly soared into the sky and kicked Chu Yu in the face.
Seeing someone attacking, Chu Yu shook his body and retreated one foot.
With a bang, the man fell into nothing and fell to the ground. The ground was shocked - the ground under the man's feet was sunken, and two deep footprints appeared.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?" The visitor said to Chu Yu. After saying that, he pulled out his feet that were trapped in the land.
He looked at the person who came carefully. The man was wearing a tight dress and had a scar on his face. His eyes were extremely fierce and fierce.
"I'm here to pursue the rebels." Chu Yu explained. After saying that, a sound of footsteps came from behind him. Chu Yu turned around and found that there were a group of people three feet behind him. The leader was a woman. She was in her thirties, wearing a good fur coat, a string of pearls hanging around her neck, and her hair was tied together with a jade hairpin, which looked unique and noble.
There were some people around the woman, including men and women, and there were a child in her hands. On the outside, there were some guards and two elderly people.
Chu Yu's eyes fell on the two old men, and he could feel the power of each other.
"I think you are like a rebel." Seeing Chu Yu staring at the person behind him, the scar-faced man asked, "Do you know that trespassing into a private palace is a death sentence."
"I know." Chu Yu felt that things were a little tricky, so he took the lead in defending: "I came to this cellar to save people."
"Save people? The cellar is locked from outside, how could there be someone?" Scarface frowned and took a step towards Chu Yu: "Are you not an imperialist?"
Chu Yu nodded and said the truth: "I came from the alliance. Today it was the national teacher who asked me to come to the Golden Palace."
After listening to Chu Yu's answer, Scar turned his head and looked at the woman in the distance. The woman was talking to the old man behind her in a low voice. An old man nodded and looked at Chu Yu. Just as the woman and everyone were about to rush towards the direction of the Golden Palace, a voice came over: "Don't let him run away, he is the murderer of assassinating His Majesty!"
Following the sound, Chu Yu was stunned when he saw that it was Qian Shuntian.
Everyone who was about to leave and rushed to the Golden Palace stopped. Qian Shuntian's voice came. The old man who had agreed to stay there stepped forward and stood two meters behind Chu Yu, surrounding Chu Yu one after another with Scarface.
"Qian Shuntian, don't slander." Chu Yu stared at Qian Shuntian and said, wondering why the rebels in the Golden Palace did not kill Qian Shuntian before.
"I'm slandering?" Qian Shuntian stared at Chu Yu and sneered, then walked towards the woman not far away: "Dear Queen, it's my honor to see you."
The queen nodded: "You came from the Golden Palace, what's the situation there now?"
"The rebels have been completely wiped out." Qian Shuntian replied: "Don't worry, Your Majesty is unscathed under the protection of the national teacher."
Hearing Qian Shuntian's words, the woman who was called queen by Qian Shuntian felt relieved. She glanced at Chu Yu and asked Qian Shuntian: "Do you say he is a rebel?"
"The rebels pretended to be the Princess Chang'an..." Qian Shuntian told the story of what happened in the Golden Palace in a few words. After saying that, he looked at Chu Yu: "I saw with my own eyes that he had a conversation with the fake princess."
"Imagine how he knew the princess when he first came to the empire. Why did the princess talk to him? Now that he is here, I suspect he has something wrong with his heart."
When Qian Shuntian proved that Chu Yu was a rebel, Chu Yu kept listening silently. After Qian Shuntian finished saying what he wanted to say, Chu Yu said, "Qian Shuntian, do I know whether my Majesty knows it, and the National Master also knows it, so it's not your turn to talk nonsense here."
After Chu Yu said that, the queen looked at Chu Yu and frowned, and whispered a few quick conversations with the people around her. The queen said, "I'll go to the Golden Palace first. As for him, there are those who can't escape." The queen said, looking at Qian Shuntian: "Are you going with me?"
Qian Shuntian said yes, and after that, he started leading the way in front and led the queen and his party to the Golden Palace.
The queen and others left, Chu Yu looked at the two psychics one after another and became silent. Chu Yu didn't expect that Qian Shuntian would slander him, and he didn't expect that he would meet the queen so by chance.
"I won't run away." Looking at the scar face staring at him, Chu Yu turned his head to look at the old man behind him: "There is only one reason I come here, that is, to save people."
The old man did not answer Chu Yu's words, but just stared at Chu Yu's face and looked at him for a while: "Are you Chu Yu?"
Chu Yu didn't expect that someone in the deep palace courtyard knew him, but he was not happy at all because he didn't know whether the old man was an enemy or a friend. In this case, if the other party took action rashly, he might fall into the run again. After all, they were the confidants of Mo Ruonian and others. What did he mean? Then he would be what they said or what they said.
"I am Chu Yu, I don't know what you call me?"
"My surname is Wan and my name is Qilie." Wan Qilie said to Chu Yu.
When Chu Yu heard this name, he felt familiar. He remembered something and looked at the old man: "I wonder if you know someone named Wan Qifu?"
Wan Qilie nodded, but he didn't say anything else, and the topic ended here.
Thinking of Wan Qifu, Chu Yu didn't know what his relationship with Wan Qilie, but he still said, "Old man, I want to go into the cellar to take a look." Chu Yu said, "I'm worried that there are people who are very important to me."
Seeing that Wan Qilie didn't speak, Chu Yu started to talk to himself - he pretended to be the Princess Chang'an and asked Luo Shishi where Cao Man was. Luo Shishi told Wan Qilie and Peng Long about what happened in the cellar. He also talked about how he met Luo Shishi in the alliance, but Chu Yu did not say Luo Shishi's name, and used a name made by Hu to replace the past. The reason why Chu Yu discovered that Princess Chang'an was pretending was not because of seeing Luo Shishi's tattoo, but because Luo Shishi spoke to him first.
Chu Yu said it in a real way. After listening to Chu Yu's words, Peng Long smiled, disagreed, and Wan Qilie didn't say anything.
"With you two watching, can I run away?" Chu Yu couldn't help but feel anxious: "If there is no other exit in this cellar, you can let me go down. No matter what the result is, I will come up, right?"
"Peng Long, please go with him." Wan Qilie finally spoke.
Hearing Wan Qilie's words, Peng Long frowned, but he didn't say anything. Seeing Wan Qilie's agreement, Chu Yu did not hesitate anymore and stepped forward to the iron gate. Chu Yu grabbed the iron lock with his hand and used a little force. The lock circle broke. Chu Yu opened the iron gate and walked down the stairs leading to the ground.
After Chu Yu entered, Peng Long followed closely behind.
The cellar was a little wet and dark. Chu Yu went down the steps and asked Peng Long behind him: "Is there no light here?"
Peng Long did not answer, and fumbled on the wall next to him for a while, but did not find the light switch. In desperation, Peng Long took out a lighter from his pocket and walked towards the depths of the cellar.
The cellar was not ventilated, and some wine utensils were piled up near the passage, and some debris were piled up inside. When Chu Yu saw this, he frowned. Why did he think about the appearance of no one coming for a long time?
"This seems to be an abandoned cellar. Is there a cellar near the Golden Palace?" Looking at Peng Long holding a lighter behind him, Chu Yu couldn't help asking.
"There are three or four cellars nearby, and this cellar has been abandoned for some time."
After hearing Peng Long's words, Chu Yu's heart skipped a beat. Just when he felt that he might have found the wrong place, a light sound came from the darkness not far away.
"Let's take a look at the front." Chu Yu said.
The lighter in Peng Long's hand lit up. Chu Yu saw a blurry figure and hurried forward and walked two steps. Peng Long followed closely. With the light, Chu Yu saw a woman in front of him with her hands and feet tied against her mouth with tape on her mouth.
After staring at the woman in front of him, Chu Yu was a little surprised and a little disappointed - this woman was not Cao Man.
Peng Long, behind Chu Yu, exclaimed, and he walked forward with a lighter. Chu Yu looked at the woman's appearance and suddenly understood in his heart that it turned out that the Chang'an princess was here.
