C385 He Escaped Danger but Swam in Shallow Waters

"Xiaolin, what's going on? Why is there such a secret in my study? Why doesn't even I know where this secret passage leads to? " The moment he sat down, the Emperor looked at Sun Xiaolin and asked.

"Replying to the Emperor, since the early stages of the establishment of the Royal Guards, we have started to dig this secret passage. A while ago, it was just completed and I did not expect that it would be used so quickly. " Xiaolin cupped his hands and said.

"What!? The early stages of the establishment of the Royal Guards! That was a few years ago when the Cloud Guardian was just established. How many years had it taken to dig up all these secrets? " Hearing this, the Emperor was even more shocked.

" Yes, Emperor. I think the Emperor must have noticed it when he just came over. This secret passage is complicated and can connect to the place where the Emperor went to court. There is also the fake mountain in the Imperial Garden as well as the Emperor's resting place. In short, as long as it is the Emperor's usual place, you can reach it and in order to prevent chasing, Every secret passage has a Broken Dragon Stone. As long as it is a Broken Dragon Stone, That path will be completely sealed and will no longer be able to be used. "

"Then why didn't you report to me in advance? You have committed the crime of deceiving the king. " The Emperor's expression at this time was very ugly.

The more he heard about it from Xiaolin, the more he felt a lingering fear. Although this secret passage had saved him at this moment, if this secret passage was known by someone with ill intentions, his life would be in danger at any time. It would be as easy as flipping his hand if others wanted to assassinate him. How could this make him feel comfortable? The key was that he didn't know about it at all.

"Emperor, please forgive me because this secret passage is too special. We don't dare to tell you, but please rest assured, Emperor. From the beginning of the construction of the secret passage, we have never used this secret passage to do anything that is disadvantageous to Your Majesty. " Although Xiaolin was a martial artist, he still had a brain for this. He saw that the Emperor's expression was extremely ugly and knew what was going on. He hurriedly knelt down and said.

"Get up, Xiaolin. I have no intention of blaming you. If not for this secret passage, I'm afraid that I might not even be alive. You are my great hero. I just want to say that you should have told me long ago. " The Emperor was silent for a moment before his expression changed a few times. Then, he smiled and pulled up the kneeling Xiaolin.

"Thank you, Emperor. Then Xiaolin will bring the Emperor to gather Royal Guards and surround Nie Xiong and the rest of the rebels. " Xiaolin clenched his fists as he spoke. Now, he was the only one left in the Royal Guards. How could he be willing to die so many of his brothers?

"No, Xiaolin. We can't appear in the Imperial Palace now. If I'm not mistaken, the Imperial Palace must be searching for us everywhere. Besides, even if I can gather Royal Guards, what can I do? Currently, a large number of troops have gathered outside the city. If we attack Great Ming, we will not be able to protect it. Moreover, the people of Shuntian Prefecture are the ones suffering. "

"Then what should we do?"

"The reason why they are looking for people to disguise themselves as me is because they want to pretend to be in control of the dynasty. It is not time to truly change the dynasty, so we still have a chance. As long as we can seize back the throne before they officially hand it over, that day will still be Great Ming's world, and I will still be Great Ming's Emperor. "

"The Emperor is really thoughtful. Then what should we do next?"

"Xiaolin, does this passageway lead to the outside?"

"Replying to the Emperor, it does lead to the outside, and to the outside of the city. We can follow this passageway and directly leave Shuntian Prefecture. "

"What a huge project. It can actually lead to the outside of Shuntian Prefecture. How about this, we'll leave the Imperial Palace first and leave Shuntian Prefecture. Then, we'll make the next plan, and then wait for an opportunity to come back and seize the throne. "

"Yes, this subordinate will do as you bid. " Xiaolin cupped his fists as he spoke.

"There's one more thing you need to do. "

"What is it?"

"The passageway is the key for us to seize back the throne. We can't let them discover us. Did you just say that there is a Dragon-Breaking Rock on every path? Once the Dragon-Breaking Rock falls, that secret passage will be completely sealed? "

"That is indeed the case. "

"Then let's do it this way. You go back now and put down all the Broken Dragon Stones in the secret passages that are easier to find, leaving only a few that are difficult to find for later use. This way, even if they search the secret passage and find a few that are already abandoned, it will make them give up the idea of being a threat to the secret passage. "

"Yes, then please wait here for a moment. This humble servant will be back soon. Emperor, the secret passage is very complicated and you must not go around randomly. Yes. Then please wait here for a moment. This humble servant will be back soon. Emperor, the secret passage is very complicated and you must not go around randomly. " After saying that, he turned around and left.

"Yang Yunxuan, oh Yang Yunxuan, I did not expect you to do such a huge project under my watch. If it was before, I would definitely seal your secret and behead you to the public. Perhaps it was because of this that they kept it from me. But now, you actually saved my life. You're truly a rare talent, but you're also the threat that I'm most afraid of. " After Xiaolin left, the Emperor muttered a few words to himself.

Not long later, Xiaolin walked back.

"Everything is done?"

"En, this subordinate has already completed everything according to the Emperor's arrangements. "

"Sigh! I didn't expect that I would actually be like today. Let's go. Since everything is done, let's leave this place first. " After saying that, the two of them turned around and walked towards the exit.

"Emperor, where are we going now?"

"To where? I don't know either. I can't contact the Royal Princess or General Qu now. I think these two places must be filled with their spies. Lee Tianyu has already been beheaded by me. Prince Mu has also stepped into the Jianghu. I really don't know where to go. "

"Emperor, why don't we go and find Prince Mu? What the Imperial Concubine said is right. Prince Mu is a person who understands righteousness and righteousness. Everything that happened in the past was caused by the Imperial Concubine. We will tell this to His Royal Highness. I believe that His Royal Highness will definitely abandon his former enmity and help the Emperor regain the throne. "

"Find Prince Mu? Back then, I treated him that way and even prohibited him and his descendants from entering the Imperial Court. Now, in just a few months' time, I want to find him. This. . . " The Emperor's face was currently flushed red as he awkwardly said.

" Emperor, at this time of the day, you still have to worry about these things. I think that His Royal Highness is wise and righteous and will definitely not be angry with the Emperor. He will definitely help the Emperor. " Xiaolin said anxiously.

" Sigh! Alright, now it can only be like this. But I heard from Nie Xiong that His Royal Highness is trapped in some Soul Casting Manor and will only be able to come out after a year. Looks like we have to wait for a while. "

" Emperor, I seem to have heard of Soul Casting Manor before. Oh right, it is His Royal Highness's home. His Royal Highness seems to have mentioned it before but I do not know exactly where it is. We can only inquire a little. I reckon that it will not be far from His Royal Highness when we find it. " Xiaolin frowned and thought for a while before his eyes suddenly lit up and said happily.

"You actually know that Soul Casting Manor is His Royal Highness's home? Ever since you became a Royal Guard, it seems that you have never seen His Royal Highness again. When did His Royal Highness mention it to you? Could it be that his amnesia has already recovered? Later on, he pretended to have amnesia?" Hearing Xiaolin's words, the Emperor immediately frowned and said.
