Zu An's heart moved. It seemed that this person really had a problem, so he snorted: "The Dragon King and the Queen have always been in love. The previous wanted hunt for the Queen has made many people in the Hai clan suspicious. Now that we have her in our hands, we can save money." It will cause a lot of trouble."
The leader of the guards fell into silence. What the other party said did make some sense. There had been a lot of quarrels in the Dragon Palace these days. Countless ministers advised and admonished. At the same time, more people inquired about what happened between the two. They still could not find a reasonable solution. explanation of.
Fortunately, some lecherous people fabricated the scandal between the queen and the demon regent, which distracted a lot of attention.
Now that the queen has returned to the palace, the previous turmoil can calm down.
only……
The leader of the guards snorted coldly: "It sounds grand, but in fact it's not because you are greedy for her body? But the queen is indeed a rare beauty, and it is normal for you to be tempted."
Zu An chuckled.
It seemed that Shang Hongyu's guess was indeed correct. Given the strength of the fake Dragon King, if she hadn't shown pity for her at that time, she probably wouldn't have been able to escape no matter how many magic weapons she had.
As a woman, she can clearly feel the other person's desire and desire for her body. This is the core basis of her plan.
Otherwise, how could she, a queen, stay in the Dragon Palace with integrity?
Coupled with some recent experiences, it can be determined that the fake Dragon King is the same kind of extremely lustful person as the real Dragon King.
"I don't know what the meaning of that kind of thing is," the guard leader snorted, and after a while he took out a porcelain vase from his arms, "This is what you asked me to find, and I have already found it for you."
There are countless questions in Zu An's mind, how can he
Know what the fake Dragon King wants the other party to find.
So he said vaguely: "Yeah, I understand, just leave it there."
Wait until the other person leaves and then check slowly.
The leader of the guards frowned slightly: "You can't be careless about this, I'll use it tonight."
"Tonight?" Zu An was calm on the surface, but in his heart he began to wonder what the bottle was, but he must not reveal any flaws.
"Of course, the nights are long and the dreams are many," the guard leader said solemnly, "The Mermaid Queen is soft on the outside but strong on the inside. She is not someone who is easy to give in to. We have to completely turn her into our side so that she can no longer betray us."
"Okay!" Zu An thought. It seems that this porcelain bottle contains a pill that controls people's minds. Could it be that these guys control other people through this method.
He even had the urge to subdue the leader of the guards in front of him to see if he could get any information out of him.
I just thought that the other party did not respect the False Dragon King as much as ordinary subordinates did to their superiors. I thought that his strength may not be as simple as it seems on the surface.
The key is that I don't know who their accomplices are. If something goes wrong, I will be passive when the enemy is in the open.
Seeing that the other party was still standing where he was, Zu An asked in a deep voice: "Is there anything else?"
"Nothing's wrong, but it's time for your Majesty to rest." The guard commander looked at him like that.
"I understand." Zu An was a little strange, thinking that it was none of your business whether I took a break or not, but he didn't know how these guys got along in private, so he didn't dare to say more.
"Remember to bring this thing with you." The guard commander's eyes fell on the porcelain bottle on the table, with a strange look on his face.
Ancestor
An didn't say anything, put away the porcelain bottle, and walked towards the palace.
There were some palace maids and eunuchs serving him along the way. Zu An had been in the palace all year round, and coupled with Shang Hongyu's training during this period, he naturally did it flawlessly.
After returning to the palace, Shang Hongyu was sitting by the window in a daze, with several maids standing behind her, seeming to be persuading her.
It's just that she still looked gloomy, not smiling as brightly as she did at the banquet before.
Zu An secretly admired this woman's acting skills.
You must know that at the banquet, we just deceived the ministers outside, but the deep palace is the territory of the fake Dragon King.
.
, they naturally knew that the queen did not come back willingly, and it would be strange if she still acted very happy.
"See Your Majesty!" Sensing Zu An's arrival, the maids in the room all saluted.
When Shang Hongyu saw him, he pretended to be furious: "What are you doing here?"
Zu An smiled: "I am the Dragon King and you are the queen. This is our palace. What do you want me to do here?"
Shang Hongyu was so frightened that he immediately stood up and took a few steps back: "This is different from what we said before."
The palace maidens on the side looked at the two of them with strange expressions, wondering what on earth they were playing at?
Zu An didn't know which of these palace maids were the false Dragon King's eyes and ears, so he simply took the opportunity to wave his hand: "You all get out."
No matter whether it is the real Dragon King or the fake Dragon King, it is impossible for these palace maids to be around for what happens next.
As expected, no one in those palace ladies suspected anything, so they all left.
"Don't leave..." On the contrary, Shang Hongyu "eagerly" tried to keep the others present.
.
It's a pity that the palace maids didn't seem to hear, they all left without looking back, and even closed the door thoughtfully when they left.
Seeing this scene, both Zu An and Shang Hongyu felt their hearts sink. It seemed that most of these palace maids were members of the fake Dragon King.
Unexpectedly, in such a short period of time, he had already controlled Dragon Palace to this extent.
"What are you doing? Don't come here." Shang Hongyu said in a panic. At the same time, he secretly sighed in his heart. Fortunately, all of this was just an act. If he hadn't met Zu An, he would have been in such a desperate situation. ah.
"You can just scream, no one will come to save you even if your throat is broken." Zu An chuckled, and I have to say that it seems to be a pretty good experience playing such a role.
No wonder those villains love to do such things, they are really addicted!
Hearing this, Shang Hongyu couldn't help but glared at him. This guy was really acting. How could he perform so realistically?
"If you come here again, I'll kill you on the spot." She was already prepared and took out a hairpin and put it against her throat.
"Okay, okay, I'll just come over. Let's talk to you like this." Zu An cooperated with the scene, but his heart sank. The voices of the two of them were neither too loud nor too small, which was enough to make the outside world laugh. The palace maids and guards heard the commotion, but no one came to check on the situation for a long time. It seemed that the situation was worse than they imagined.
"Get out, I don't want to talk to you!" Shang Hongyu shouted loudly, while secretly transmitting a message to express the same concern.
"These palace maids and guards all have strange faces. I think all the people around us have been replaced before these days."
"Okay, okay, I won't approach your head office now.
." Zu An deliberately stood far away, as if he was afraid of irritating him, and answered secretly,
"I asked before. The guard commander's name is Kaqir. Do you have any impressions of him?"
Shang Hongyu hummed and replied secretly: "In my memory, Kaqir is a warrior of the Shark Clan. He fights very bravely. He was also recruited into the Dragon Palace as a sergeant before, but at that time he was only responsible for patrolling the periphery of the Dragon Palace, not Now he directly becomes the leader of the Dragon King's bodyguard."
"He has probably been replaced by those mysterious guys. I can feel that he deliberately hid his cultivation. His true strength is probably not weaker than that fake dragon king." Zu An looked worried.
"We don't know the details of these guys. Originally, we wanted to quietly capture one or two for interrogation, but now that they are all around, I'm afraid that won't work." Shang Hongyu said distressedly.
"According to my judgment, they probably don't exist in this world, and maybe they come from outside the world." Zu An frowned, "It's just that those monsters from outside the world have been eliminated by me before, and the seal has been re-strengthened. Where did these guys come from? It came out of nowhere.”
"Maybe it didn't come from the sky, but from the abyss." Shang Hongyu suddenly remembered something and said hurriedly.
"Abyss?" Zu An was startled. This was the first time he heard this name.
"I also heard the Dragon King casually mention it back then. He was drunk at the time.
.
, suddenly felt very emotional, saying that the King of the Sea Tribe looked very majestic, but he was just a watchdog in the abyss." Shang Hongyu said thoughtfully, "I was very curious at the time and asked him what was going on, but he As if he had woken up with a start, he didn’t want to say anything more.
He even said that I heard it wrong."
"Originally, I didn't pay much attention to it, but now that I heard what you said, it made me think about it."
Zu An fell into deep thought: "The abyss..."
In fact, when I entered the Dragon Palace before, I felt a little strange. Many of the magic circles did not understand their purpose. Could it be that they were actually seals, sealing a place called the Abyss.
Then some time ago, due to the invasion of monsters from outside the world, there were some problems with the world's barrier, so some monsters also came to that place called the abyss?
But why don't they invade the world and instead pretend to be the Dragon King? It's really illogical.
Various speculations appeared in Zu An's mind, but unfortunately there was too little information to make an accurate judgment.
"By the way, did Kaqir doubt my return?" Shang Hongyu suddenly asked.
"I deceived him, but he was still worried and gave me this thing." Zu An said and took out the porcelain bottle. "He said that with this thing, he could completely control you and make you be of one mind with us. Come to think of it, It should be some kind of poison, but I didn’t have time to ask him just now, and I didn’t have a chance to check it.”
Shang Hongyu breathed a sigh of relief: "This is easy to handle. Then you can tell them directly that I have taken this medicine."
"Yeah." Zu An nodded. Of course, it was impossible for him to actually let the other party take such a mysterious medicine.
At this time, Shang Hongyu picked up the porcelain bottle curiously: "But let's research first what kind of medicine it is and what effect it can have, so that you won't be suspected when you respond to them."
As she spoke, she opened the bottle cap, and a burst of pink smoke sprayed directly into her face. Shang Hongyu was startled.
He jumped and hurriedly threw the porcelain bottle aside.
Zu An hurriedly went over to help her: "How are you? Have you been poisoned?"
As he spoke, he wanted to feel her pulse. Shang Hongyu's face turned red, and he pushed his hand away unnaturally: "Actually, it's not poison, but Xiaoyao Dew, which is refined from the mucus of the North Sea Giant Demon." .”
Zu An: "???"
Of course he knew what the Kraken's mucus was used for, and he mentioned that he even collected some on the boat a few days ago.
The medicine made from this stuff is also called Xiaoyao Dew. You can figure out what it is by just thinking about it with your toes.
"Have you been affected?" Zu An asked hurriedly, "Don't use your power to inject poison. This stuff can easily spread to your limbs and bones as your power speeds up. I'll go get you some water to wash your face first. .”
Shang Hongyu looked at him with a half-smile: "Do you hope that I will be affected, or that I will not be affected?"
Zu An glared at her angrily: "What time has it been? You are still in the mood to make such a joke."
As he said this, he started to look for water, but was stopped by the other party: "Don't worry, I'm not stupid. I knew it was poison, so how could I have been unprepared just now? I had already held my breath and concentrated on it, and at the same time, a layer of luck had formed around my body. Protection, not poisoned."
Zu An breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."
"Aren't you very disappointed?" Shang Hongyu bent down in front of him, then tilted his head to look at his expression naughtily.
Zu An: "..."
He was too lazy to respond, this woman was really addicted to playing.
At this time, Shang Hongyu laughed: "Those guys are also hateful, but their plan is perfect. If it is the fake Dragon King, naturally
I will not miss this good opportunity. I will definitely trick me into drinking this stuff and then take the opportunity to possess me. The mermaid family attaches great importance to chastity. Afterwards, I will have no shame to say anything and can only acquiesce in the fact."
Zu An was a little curious: "Do you, the mermaid clan, still have such a tradition?"
"Of course," Shang Hongyu said with some pride on his face, "We mermaid women have been loyal to each other for thousands of years. It is this pure reputation that makes the queen of the sea tribe undisputed.
.
We, the mermaid clan.”
"So once those guys really succeed, I will definitely not say anything anymore, because it is not just my business, nor is it the business of the mermaid clan today, but the reputation of the mermaid clan that has been ruined for thousands of years. Once it happens, it will even bring shame to the mermaid clan for generations to come."
Speaking of this, a look of fear flashed across Shang Hongyu's face.
When Zu An heard this, he was both impressed and amused. Speaking of this visit to the Sea Clan, he clearly felt that the atmosphere here was very open, even better than that of the Monster Clan.
But the mermaid clan is so pure and conservative, and they are really an anomaly.
Speaking of which, Ao Yong is being ridiculous. He knows the tradition of the mermaid clan, but he still dares to love his sister-in-law?
At this moment, Kaqir's voice suddenly came from outside: "Your Majesty, the general will stay outside tonight to prevent all scoundrels from disturbing us."
Zu An: "..."
This guy spoke nicely, and it was obvious that he was here to monitor me.
Wait, did you show any flaws before?
He reviewed everything and confirmed that there should be no problems.
Thinking about it, the biggest flaw is to bring the queen back and stand next to the fake dragon king.
Fang, such behavior is indeed risky, so the other party needs to nip all potential threats in the bud.
Shang Hongyu also blushed and secretly spat: "This guy is so shameless!"
Zu An responded to the door: "I won't bother you anymore. It's enough to have the maid to serve you. You can go back and rest first."
It's easy to fool those palace maids, but this guy's cultivation level is too high. Although he can't see what's going on in the room, the movements in there will definitely not be hidden from his ears.
"Thank you for the post, Your Majesty. However, the duty of the general is to protect His Majesty and the Queen, and I dare not slack off in the slightest," Kaqir replied. "I also ask Your Majesty not to forget the responsibilities you shoulder."
Zu An gave a wry smile and realized that the other party was urging him.
"What should we do now?" Shang Hongyu bit his lip, looking a little uncomfortable.
Zu An's voice message replied: "How about I set up an aura and isolate everything in the house so that he can't hear anything. I'll just tell him tomorrow that it's done."
"No, the other party seems to have some doubts. Now you can still explain it by pretending to be a good-looking Dragon King. But if you deliberately conceal it like this, then he might doubt your identity, and then we will fall short." Shang Hongyu shook his head. He shook his head and refused.
Zu An rolled his eyes: "Otherwise, what else can we do? We can't do anything just to hide it from him."
