Chapter 1003 The Fish That Slipped Through the Net

Chapter 1003 The fish that slipped through the net

The former owner, Su, felt that his own life was at stake... So, his most urgent and strongest desire now is to save his life.

Just before Qingu entered the original owner's body, that is, yesterday evening, more than a thousand imperial guards surrounded their palace, saying that some thieves had entered the prince's palace and wanted to conduct a comprehensive search.

After reaching the age of sixteen, the prince will move out of the palace and live in the Chonghua Palace next to the capital.

A total of eight princes lived in Chonghua Palace, including the original owner.

The imperial guards arrested all the eight princes on the grounds of searching for thieves, and then found some letters from where they lived, communicating with internal and external enemies, seeking power and usurping the throne.

In fact, because their father, the last emperor, was very powerful and powerful, and there was a very smart and kind elder brother in front of them, they didn't dare to have any other thoughts at all.

And he has always been very cautious in doing things, with only eunuchs and maids around him, not even guards.

There is no such thing as saying that external enemies seek power and usurp the throne.

But people don't care what your real situation is, all they need is an excuse to kill them.

Therefore, after they locked up the princes, they planned to drag them to the gate of the city to behead them the next day...that is, at noon today.

…… Qingu sorted out all the reasons, and also figured out the situation in front of him.

Damn, this is not "feeling about to be killed", but about to be killed soon.

However, Zisu's death is imminent, and the thoughts of the soul can still be so free, and the mind can still be so active... If he is given a chance and a platform, he may not be the one who removes obstacles in order to consolidate his position.

Qingu quickly cleared his mind, and then checked his existing methods.

Most of the three-foot space is energy crystals that have been empty for the last hour, and they haven't had time to go back to the hut to store them.

Other than that, there are only some medicine powder, two pieces of dry food, flint, water charm and so on.

By the way, there is also the most important star sword.

She didn't have a chance to use it in the last hour, but this time, it finally has a place to use it.

In the dark and damp cell, the stale air was filled with the mixed smell of excrement, blood and rancidity. Fortunately, Qingu had experienced a more difficult environment than this before, and quickly adapted to it.

There was a cold chill coming from the buttocks and back... There was not even a broken mat or straw in the cell, probably because they thought they were all people who were about to die, and it would be a waste to give it away.

Low cries echoed in the cell, making the air more dignified and oppressive; their fear made the air tremble, affecting each other and becoming more fearful.

Full of sadness and despair.

Qingu subconsciously distanced himself from the person next to him, because the other person kept shaking, and then kept mumbling, "I'm going to die, I'm going to die, what should I do?"

This is already a clear fact, if there is no extraordinary means, what can we do? Salad.

She is not in the mood to appease these people now, what do you say? Is it possible to say: Don't worry, I will rescue you out? Or do you say: don't be afraid...? I'm going to die, fear is instinct, you advise people not to be afraid? be sick.

Besides, the identity of the original owner prevented Qingu from showing off at this time.

To put it bluntly, once their eldest brother dies, even Zihai, who is ranked sixteenth, can become the emperor. Why are these "brothers" not qualified to sit on the throne of the emperor?

In short, once the threat of life and death is gone, these people are competitors of the original owner.

That's right, besides using his own means to save the original owner, Qingu is already thinking about the way ahead.

According to the memory of the original owner, the emperor and the eldest brother died, the court was in turmoil, and the outside situation was also in the flames of civil strife. Who has such a strong and iron-blooded wrist to settle this chaos?

Looking at the more than 20 older brothers and younger brothers, there are none.

Besides, Qingu doesn't have the time to meet people and help them become emperors.

After several weeks of innate qi refining technique, the thin spiritual energy gathered in the body, before it accumulated in the dantian, it was absorbed by the body's muscles, bones and muscles, and repaired the injuries suffered when the brutal guards captured them before. .

...For the people in this cell, they spent an extremely long, difficult and extremely short night. The dawn meant that they were one step closer to death.

A few rays of sunlight slanted in from the narrow window above and projected onto the ground.

It can be seen that countless turbid dust in the air is flying freely in the beam of light, making people feel that every breath of air they breathe is full of dust, and they feel a little suffocated.

There was a clanging sound of the lock being opened from the door of the old room, and a group of wolves-like guards rushed in, carrying or dragging out these princes who had been paralyzed from fright like chickens.

Whether you like it or not, you will be sent to the execution ground.

At this moment, the small officer of the Imperial Guard outside discovered that a prince was missing.

The little officer asked people to get these princes out, and then sent people to search every corner of the cell.

However, it was as if the prince had suddenly evaporated from the world.

After investigation, it was found that the missing one was the Twelfth Prince, Zisu.

This time, they had planned for a long time, to catch all the remaining princes in one go. If any fish slipped through the net, they would be skinned.

However, as time passed by, the whereabouts of the twelve princes have never been found.

They tortured the words and deeds of the other princes one by one, but nothing was gained.

The cell was pitch black, and everyone was in a dead breath of fear. They didn't even know where their twelfth brother (brother) had gone.

Seeing that the scheduled execution time was up, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and get the remaining eight to the execution ground, and then said that the other prince had absconded in fear of crime and was robbed by his henchmen. It went smoothly.

However, just on the execution ground, when the execution is about to be executed, it is like many classic plots of robbing the execution ground.

A voice came suddenly: "Keeping people under the knife—"

Then, a figure jumped onto the execution platform from the crowd of onlookers.

The crowd suddenly went into an uproar. They didn't expect this young man to be so courageous that he dared to openly contradict the executor.

They also knew a little about today's execution. It is said that several sons of the emperor gathered a crowd to rebel.

People didn't think about whether this matter was true, but there was still a trace of unconcealable excitement and restless gossip in their hearts.

After all, some of these people have just become Jing people for more than ten years, and their comrades of the previous generation are still fighting to the death with Jing... To put it bluntly, their sense of identity with this country is too low, and they even resist it. If it weren't for the high-pressure policy, they would have turned against it long ago.
