Chapter 504: Remaining Warmth

"Don't you want to know what I used you to do?"

In the dark night, Zhou Qiuning's voice sounded for no reason.

Li Beifeng stopped and turned around slowly.

In the dark night, his eyes looked extremely calm and rational.

He glanced at her up and down calmly and said calmly: "What do you want to say again?"

"What do you think?"

Zhou Qiuning raised her face slightly, watching every move on Li Beifeng's face.

A smile appeared on her beautiful face, and this smile seemed particularly sincere.

"I just feel that there are some things that I should tell you all of a sudden. I can't keep you in the dark... right?"

Li Beifeng didn't speak, just looked at her silently.

The heavy rain at night gradually began to lighten up and turned into a steady rain.

The two of them were still in the rain, and their clothes were already soaked. From the beginning to the end, neither of them escaped from the rain.

Maybe it's a tacit understanding, or maybe it's a grudge.

At this moment, Zhou Qiuning in front of him was already wet, and looked extremely embarrassed.

However, she smiled happily, looked into Li Beifeng's eyes, and spoke softly.

"Actually, I really want to thank you for everything tonight. If it weren't for you, perhaps nothing that happened tonight would have happened..."

Li Beifeng's eyes narrowed, and he was a little confused as to what she meant by this.

Thank him?

Zhao Jing rebelled tonight, why should we thank him?

What to thank him for? Did you cuckold Zhao Jing?

…

Seeing the confusion in Li Beifeng's eyes, Zhou Qiuning smiled slightly, "Zhao Ying was assassinated, and everyone in the world suspected that Zhao Jing was responsible. Emperor Zhao naturally knew it. Therefore, he summoned Zhao Jing into the palace and placed him under house arrest! It is to restrict his freedom and prevent him from concealing the fraud and escape. Secondly, it is also to prevent him from having other intentions and worrying that he may have any evil intentions in private..."

"Although Emperor Zhao has ignored government affairs for many years, he is not a fool. He naturally noticed something, so he placed Zhao Jing under house arrest in the palace!"

Zhou Qiuning said calmly: "However, Zhao Jing had already expected it. Therefore, he had already arranged everything before entering the palace. Once anything happens in the palace, they will take action immediately..."

"However, what Zhao Jing may not have expected is that Emperor Zhao would bypass Qin Tiansi and send his cronies to the imperial mausoleum to investigate the truth. Zhao Jing planned Qin Tiansi, but missed this step... these They acted secretly and evaded everyone's eyes. Once they investigated the truth and Emperor Zhao took action in advance, Zhao Jing would have failed and there would be no chance for him to make a comeback..."

"So it just so happens that you have been a big help!"

Zhou Qiuning looked at Li Beifeng meaningfully.

Li Beifeng stared at her calmly: "Because of you?"

"That's right!"

Zhou Qiuning squinted her eyes and smiled: "Thanks to your help, I was sent to the palace and delivered to Zhao Jing, and I obtained this crucial information... The people sent by Emperor Zhao have indeed found out Zhao Jing's head. Thanks to this timely information, they were able to intercept those people halfway!"

"Otherwise, once Emperor Zhao learns the truth and takes precautions, Zhao Jing will have no chance."

After listening to Zhou Qiuning's words, Li Beifeng didn't show much surprise on his face.

Did he help Zhao Jing?

Not necessarily!

Even if Zhou Qiuning didn't meet him that night, Li Beifeng believed that she would definitely find a way to meet Zhao Jing and obtain information.

His appearance only facilitated her and could not affect any situation.

"You're not surprised, and you're not angry at all?"

Seeing that Li Beifeng didn't seem to have much reaction, Zhou Qiuning was slightly surprised.

"Things have already happened, is there any use in getting angry?" Li Beifeng glanced at her.

Use it or not, the outcome is the same.

"That's right!"

Zhou Qiuning chuckled.

"I didn't see it, but you are quite open-minded!"

She shook her head slightly, looked not far ahead, and stopped.

Li Beifeng also stopped and looked ahead. A small mountain appeared in the sight not far away.

Located in a deep mountain on the west side of the palace, the location seems a bit remote.

"Where is this?"

"Just follow me!"

Zhou Qiuning glanced at him, walked under the hill, passed through a small forest, and came to a jungle.

As she maneuvered through the jungle, a stone door soon appeared in their sight.

"This is……"

"A secret room!"

Zhou Qiuning glanced at him, as if remembering something, and raised the corner of her mouth slightly: "Back then, your good master broke into the Jokhang Palace and almost killed Emperor Zhao. After that, Emperor Zhao summoned the best craftsmen in the world to design and build An indestructible secret room. This secret room is extremely hidden, and very few people know the location of the secret room. This is the back door of the secret room!"

"Emperor Zhao has escaped from the Health Palace tonight. As expected, he should be hiding in this secret room now."

Li Beifeng squinted his eyes slightly: "Since very few people know, why do you know?"

Zhou Qiuning paused, then turned back and smiled mysteriously at Li Beifeng: "What do you think?"

"..."

Li Beifeng naturally didn't guess. This woman already had enough secrets, including this one.

After opening the stone door, Zhou Qiuning walked into the secret room first. Li Beifeng hesitated slightly, but after a moment, he followed him into the secret room.

As soon as I walked in, I smelled a musty smell, and the cold environment made people feel a little creepy.

It seems that no one has been in this stone chamber for a long time.

In the dim environment, the passage of the secret room is not wide, and it is pitch black around.

What makes Li Beifeng feel even more strange is that this secret room looks airtight, but there is enough oxygen.

It's a bit weird!

In the darkness, Li Beifeng can vaguely see the figure of Zhou Qiuning in front of him. The two of them walked through the long and winding dark passage one after the other.

Not long after, the front suddenly lit up.

With the footsteps of the two, the lights hanging on both sides of the passage suddenly lit up silently.

Voice-controlled lights?

Li Beifeng frowned slightly. He had to say that this secret room was indeed built with great craftsmanship. It shouldn't be called a secret room. Li Beifeng would believe it if he said it was an imperial mausoleum.

Looking at the lights around him, Li Beifeng's eyes finally stopped on Zhou Qiuning in front of him.

"You said, is it over?"

Zhou Qiuning turned her head slightly and glanced at him: "Who do you think won tonight, father or son?"

Who won?

Li Beifeng did not answer her question, but when his eyes fell on her, he found that her clothes had dried, and even her wet hair had no water stains at this moment.

Although her slightly scattered hair looked a little embarrassed, it could not hide her natural beauty.

Seeing this, Li Beifeng looked straight ahead and secretly circulated his internal force.

As the internal force surged in his body, it slowly spread around his body. Then, steam began to rise from Li Beifeng's wet clothes.

Not long after, the moisture on the clothes disappeared without a trace under the baking of the internal force.

When the internal force reaches a certain level, it is easy to use the internal force to dry clothes.

Li Beifeng, who was refreshed, followed Zhou Qiuning's footsteps. Not long after, the two of them passed through the passage and came to a room.

From a distance, the two smelled the bloody smell in the air.

Is there blood?

The two looked at each other subconsciously, and both saw the meaning in each other's eyes.

Something happened!

Then, the two stepped into the secret room quickly. As soon as they walked in, they were hit by a strong smell of blood.

It was a mess.

The whole secret room had just experienced a big battle, and there were potholes and broken walls everywhere.

There were bloodstains everywhere, and on the ground not far away, there were three bodies. When they saw the clothes on the three bodies, the two looked at each other again.

"Isn't this..."

Zhou Qiuning seemed to be thinking: "The three Taoist priests in the deep palace of Emperor Zhao?"

Li Beifeng looked at her: "Do you know them?"

"I have seen them once!"

Zhou Qiuning narrowed her eyes slightly: "Emperor Zhao has been living in seclusion in the deep palace for many years to practice longevity. These three Taoist priests are the three Taoist priests invited by Emperor Zhao. I heard that these three Taoist priests have magical powers and are well versed in the way of longevity."

"Heh!"

Hearing this, Li Beifeng sneered: "Well versed in the way of longevity, then how did they die?"

"It seems that the so-called longevity is fake!"

Zhou Qiuning shook her head slightly, seeming a little regretful: "I heard that these three Taoist priests are not only good at practicing, but also can refine longevity elixirs... It's a pity that I don't have a chance to see it!"

Immortal elixir?

When Li Beifeng heard this, he knew it was a lie!

These three Taoist priests are probably scammers who came out of nowhere!

He was too familiar with this routine. From ancient times to the present, there were countless such wandering sorcerers who relied on some scientific tricks to deceive people in this feudal and superstitious era, fooling these ignorant people.

If Li Beifeng wanted, he could fool all the people in the world into thinking he was a living god.

These people, with their eloquent tongues, have fooled countless emperors from ancient times to the present into believing that there is really a way to immortality in this world.

As for the so-called "immortal pills!"

This is probably not much different from the immortal pills that Qin Shihuang ate!

"Why did they die here?"

At this time, Li Beifeng seemed to think of something, and his eyes suddenly condensed: "They died, what about the emperor?"

Since these three people were Taoist priests around Emperor Zhao, they actually died in this secret room, which means that someone has entered this secret room.

Has Zhao Jing been here?

Where is Emperor Zhao?

"There!"

At this time, Zhou Qiu Ning suddenly looked at the figure behind the column over there.

Li Beifeng followed his gaze and soon saw a figure.

"It's him!"

As soon as Li Beifeng walked in, he confirmed the other party's identity.

He had never seen Emperor Zhao, but he could tell from the clothes on the other party.

Dragon robe!

And the face that vaguely resembled Zhao Jing was enough to confirm his identity.

"Dead?!"

Li Beifeng's eyes fell on the sword wound on Emperor Zhao's chest and the blood flowing on the ground.

Pierced through the heart by a sword?

Dead!

A step too late?

Li Beifeng looked back, and the secret room was empty, and there was no other figure.

Even Zhou Qiuning was a little surprised when she saw Emperor Zhao.

"Zhao Jing...really killed his father?"

Zhou Qiuning's beautiful eyes fell on Emperor Zhao, and her eyes were a little surprised.

Li Beifeng glanced at her: "Didn't you expect it a long time ago?"

"I thought he wouldn't do it!"

Zhou Qiuning shook her head, with a hint of meaning in her eyes: "It seems that I still underestimated him."

Is it over?

When Li Beifeng saw Emperor Zhao's body in front of him, he already understood.

Chaos!

The world is going to be in chaos!

Once Emperor Zhao dies and Zhao Jing ascends the throne, it will inevitably cause chaos in the court and the world.

Even if Emperor Zhao dies, it will not be easy for Zhao Jing to secure his position. Since ancient times, the succession of dynasty successors has always caused great chaos.

This world is probably going to be lively!

Having anticipated what was about to happen, Li Beifeng's face did not look relaxed.

He could already predict what would happen next!

"Is he really dead?"

At this time, Zhou Qiuning frowned slightly, and there seemed to be some regret in her tone.

"Is this... the end?"

"What if?"

Li Beifeng glanced at Emperor Zhao on the ground. His heart had been pierced, and even the gods could not save him.

"Let's go!"

People are already dead and they are too late!

If Zhao Jing succeeds, the palace will be disrupted next, then the capital, and then spread to the world.

Li Beifeng must leave the place of right and wrong quickly before chaos breaks out.

"etc!"

Zhou Qiuning, who originally planned to leave, looked at Emperor Zhao on the ground and frowned.

"He seems... not dead yet?"

"Not dead?"

Hearing this, Li Beifeng didn't take it to heart. How could a person whose heart was pierced survive?

But he still subconsciously approached and put his hand under Emperor Zhao's breath.

There was no breathing, not even a faint breath.

"No breathing, dead!"

Li Beifeng waved his hand and was about to stand up when he suddenly seemed to notice something and subconsciously touched Emperor Zhao's arm.

His arms, which had gradually become cold, still had a hint of residual heat.

this……

Li Beifeng seemed to realize something. He quickly came to the bodies of the other three people and reached out to touch them. His expression suddenly changed slightly.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing that his reaction was wrong, Zhou Qiuning asked quickly.

"Something's wrong!"

Li Beifeng returned to Emperor Zhao and said in a deep voice: "His body still has... residual heat!"

"Is there anything strange about this?"

Zhou Qiuning glanced at it and said, "Looking at the time, he should have died not long ago. Isn't it normal to have residual heat?"

"The bodies of those three people are already cold... They died at about the same time, and the bodies of the others are already cold..."

Li Beifeng was actually not sure. If it had been someone else, he wouldn't have cared about this.

But the man in front of me is different. He is the emperor of Jokhang.

Whether he is dead or not, these are two different things!

Thinking of this, Li Beifeng's eyes became cautious.

He first approached Emperor Zhao and inspected it. There was no breathing, no pulse, the body gradually became cold, and the blood on the ground began to gradually solidify.

Li Beifeng took out a silver needle from his arms and pierced Emperor Zhao's chest.

The silver needle doesn't move at all!

Dead!

So dead!

Li Beifeng shook his head and was about to take back the silver needle when he suddenly realized something and stared at the silver needle.

"Wait, something's wrong!"

"What's wrong?"

At this moment, Zhou Qiuning looked confused when she saw Li Beifeng's serious expression.

What's wrong with him? A sudden surprise?

Li Beifeng took out a silver needle from his arms again. This time, he pierced the right side of Emperor Zhao's chest with the silver needle.

The silver needle fell, and the next second, it trembled slightly like cicada wings.

Li Beifeng's eyes suddenly changed.

"His heart is on the right side?!"

"..."
