Hearing this, Chu Tianxiao lowered his eyes slightly, guessed something, paused, and said, "Who else knows about this?"
"No more." Wei Xianchen looked up at the sky and said slowly, "Even King Tang... doesn't know that I used this thing to capture the greatest secret of Emperor Zhao, but... I am just a woman and cannot continue. I can only rely on Master Chu."
Hearing this, Chu Tianxiao said solemnly: "Madam, rest assured, I promise here... With this item, Emperor Zhao will pay the price for what he did!"
Wei Xianchen shook his head slowly: "Mr. Chu misunderstood, that's not important..."
Chu Tianxiao was stunned when the words came out, but he soon understood what he meant. Suddenly, the admiration in his eyes became even stronger...
"I understand. Madam, your wish will come true. Now that I have finished my business here, I will take my leave."
“…I won’t see you off.”
"Take care, madam." Chu Tianxiao clasped his fists and bowed, then quickly left the place. After that, Li Hui trotted in. Just as he was about to speak, he was stunned: "Mother? That guest..."
"He's gone."
Wei Xianchen shook his head slowly, looked at Li Hui, and said calmly: "From today on, you will enter the best private school in Zhaodu. You must work hard."
"You will be the head of the family in the future, so you must go to school eventually."
Li Hui was stunned when he heard this: "Mother? We are not leaving Zhaodu? Didn't you say that when Zhaodu comes, there will be an attack and it will be unsafe?"
"... that was before I met this distinguished guest..." Wei Xianchen said, standing up, looking at the clear sky outside, and said leisurely, "From today on, Zhaodu will surely welcome Chang'an..."
"… Mother, why?"
Hearing the voice, Wei Xianchen raised his head slightly and spoke in a very light voice.
"Because... the Zhao people no longer have any chance..."
…
…
Midnight, somewhere in Zhaodu City.
After saying goodbye to Wei Xianchen, Chu Tianxiao first returned to the mansion to continue handling affairs. When night fell and most people in the city fell asleep, he used this night-shining pearl that could only work at night. It was said that this item was a treasure of the Tang King, and its function was similar to that of Huiying Jade. It was originally given to Wei Xianchen to record every bit of their relationship... But who knew that there would be an unexpected event. In an accident, Wei Xianchen drifted overseas and was rescued by the Zhao people. She never met the Tang King again...
But even so, she still had thoughts in her heart and carried the night-shining pearl with her day and night. It was for this reason... on a certain night by chance, she used the night-shining pearl to capture the secret of Emperor Zhao.
As soon as Chu Tianxiao opened the pearl, he saw a burst of emerald green light, which then turned into a screen. In the light screen, he could vaguely see the hurried figure of Emperor Zhao, muttering, "Why do you want me to go again... It's really troublesome!" As he spoke, he walked to the end of the palace corridor. Then, he patted a certain decoration, and there was a crash. A jade block somewhere on the ground suddenly split apart, and a tunnel appeared... Emperor Zhao walked in quickly, and then the entrance to the tunnel slammed shut, seamlessly...
That's all the Night Pearl carries - come to think of it, perhaps because Emperor Zhao was in a hurry, anxious, and distracted, he didn't notice Wei Xianchen following him. It was really a coincidence... But if Wei Xianchen dared to chase after him, she would definitely be exposed... After all, she was just a weak woman without any cultivation.
There can't be too much luck.
"Hmm... This Zhao Palace in Zhaodu can be said to be the 'home' of Emperor Zhao, but he is so sneaky even in his 'home'... It seems that this matter is not simple."
Chu Tianxiao pondered for a moment, followed the path of the Night Pearl, and came to the same place. Then, he patted the decorations on the side, and a tunnel with bright lights underneath appeared before his eyes...
"Hmm... Such a gloomy atmosphere... Judging from the wind direction, the tunnel below is definitely not a straight road, but should have many corners. If you go down without guidance, you will get lost... Zhao Shaodi is so careful and attentive, it seems that his 'golden finger' is probably down there!"
"But... isn't it too risky to go on like this? According to the picture shown by the Night Pearl, once Emperor Zhao enters, the tunnel will be completely closed. If he can't find the way down there, he will have no way to retreat, which is not good..."
Chu Tianxiao thought about it, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind. He slapped his forehead and said, "I forgot!"
His mind moved as he quickly took out a compass dotted with stars from his Sumeru Ring!
"Hehe... Is there anything more reliable than the golden finger of the group-annihilating true destiny to find secret treasures?" Chu Tianxiao smiled slightly, and then quickly put the night pearl into the compass! After that, the compass suddenly became bright with stars, and the pointer on it began to rotate. After a moment, it finally pointed straight to the tunnel below!
Seeing this, Chu Tianxiao clenched his palms tightly and said, "It's very safe!"
As he expected, since this night-shining pearl was given by the Tang King as a token of love, it must be very valuable. Therefore, it should not only have the effect of Huiying Jade, but it is very likely to have the effect of "retaining energy"!
That is, the records at that time should have retained a bit of Emperor Zhao's aura, and based on this aura, the "Starry Chariot Disk" that could kill Zhenming could lock onto the corresponding treasure!
It was spinning just now because the Zhao Palace had many treasures collected by Emperor Zhao Shao, but in the end it still pointed to the tunnel, which means that the most precious treasure is underneath!
"It's definitely a golden finger!"
Since "buying" the Dragon Marquis Secret Realm, Chu Tianxiao has become accustomed to many treasures. The only treasure that can excite him about the Prince of Fortune is their "Golden Fingers".
So at that moment, Chu Tianxiao jumped into the tunnel without hesitation, running all the way, following the pointer of the Xingluo car disk, turning continuously, and gradually approaching the core of this place...
Along the way, there was no monster blocking the way, nor any trace of traps... Obviously, this was the magic of the 'Star Cart' - in many cases, the group-annihilation flow relied on this golden finger to avoid risks. And when this item fell into Chu Tianxiao's hands, it also allowed him to experience the pleasure of a smooth adventure...
After a while of running around, Chu Tianxiao finally arrived at the core of this place.
All he could see was yellow sand, and traces of a collapsed palace, like some kind of ancient relic... But because it was so badly damaged, all the symbols and images were blurred, so Chu Tianxiao didn't know what kind of relic it was...
But one thing is beyond doubt.
The secret of Emperor Zhao's success lies here!
In the center of the yellow sand, a huge six-pointed crystal floats. Surrounded by yellow sand, it is spotless... It rotates slowly, emitting a crystal blue glow, like an oasis in the desert, very strange...
"What on earth is this..."
