For many reasons, Chen Changsheng had to kill Zhou Tong. One of the most important ones was that the change in Tianshu Mausoleum itself started when he killed Zhou Tong last time.
When he walked into this courtyard that time, it was the beginning of historical transformation and the source of all life and death. Now that Empress Tianhai is dead, many people have died. The river of history has turned a big bend, but Zhou Tong is still alive and well. , and may even live a better life than before, no matter how he thinks about it, he feels that this matter should be done.
Although until now, he still doesn't know where Zhou Tong is.
At this moment, Xiaode and him lowered their heads at the same time, looking at the remaining snow on the ground in the courtyard.
The snow was moving very slightly, as if there was a very weak vibration coming from the depths of the earth.
Several officials from the Cleaning Department looked at each other, their faces full of surprise, their eyes quickly became determined, they clenched the sword in their hands, and looked at Chen Changsheng.
Chen Changsheng didn't look at them, but just stared at the snow on the ground.
Suddenly, more than ten sword lights illuminated the courtyard and cut towards the ground.
Can Xue danced wildly, with fierce sword intent, the bluestone floor suddenly shattered, and black soil splashed up. In just a moment, a half-foot hole was dug on the ground of the courtyard.
The officials of the Cleaning Department shouted in fright, and unleashed their most powerful sword moves one after another, trying to force Chen Changsheng to stop his current behavior.
Xiaode vaguely guessed something, his eyes were fierce, his fists were like mountains, and he threw towards the hundreds of swords in the snowy sky.
…
…
There used to be a crabapple tree in this courtyard, which was destroyed by Chen Changsheng. Later, a new crabapple tree was moved in, which was almost exactly the same as the original one. This is also quite surprising, of course, this crabapple tree has also been destroyed now, also by Chen Changsheng.
In order to find this exactly the same crabapple tree, it took a lot of effort to find this exactly the same crabapple tree. After waiting for a while, the tree pit dug on the ground near the courtyard wall was also vacant for a long time. It became a small pond, but before dawn, the water sank into the soil and disappeared without a trace.
The Office of the Qing Officials is located in Beibing Masi Hutong, which is also known as Zhou Prison, but few people know that the real Zhou Prison is actually in the dark ground seventy feet down from the tree pit. It consists of five cells, made of stone. The walls are surrounded by compacted soil and gravel with countless edges and corners, and there are countless formations for protection.
This place is deep in the ground, covered by many formations, it is very secret, and no outsider has ever entered. This place is very solid, whether it was the rainbow-like swords and violent sword intent when Chen Changsheng entered Zhou Prison for the first time, or the vertical and horizontal sword intent on the ground at this time, it did not affect this place in any way, not even the slightest fluctuation.
In the deepest cell, the dim light was very steady, illuminating the small table in the room.
On the small table is a plate of peanuts, two jugs of wine, and two pairs of chopsticks.
The middle-aged man sitting on the east side was very burly. Although the prison uniform was covered with black blood stains, his hair was shawl, and his arm was broken, he still couldn't hide his heroic and heroic spirit. , it was the general Xue He who was arrested and brought back to Beijing a few days ago. The middle-aged man sitting opposite him was not wearing an official uniform, but an ordinary cloth shirt. He was thin, with sunken cheeks, pale face, deep eyes, and looked like a ghost.
Many people died in Zhou Prison, but I don't know if there is a ghost. Even if there is, they must have been tortured by this person and died early.
He is the master of Zhou Prison, where even ghosts are afraid of him.
The stunning sword pierced him on the grand master's chair before, but only pierced the red official robe. From that moment on, no matter Chen Changsheng or others, they were guessing where he hid. Many people thought that he hid in the palace, and some even thought that he was frightened and escaped from the capital.
No one expected that he was still here, among the courtyards, but deep in the ground.
In other words, the distance between him and Chen Changsheng has always been only seventeen feet.
He didn't care about it, he ate peanuts and drank wine calmly, as if no matter how fierce the sword rain on the ground was, it had nothing to do with him.
"You're afraid." Xue He said looking into his eyes.
He is a well-known general in Dazhou because he is Xue Xingchuan's younger brother, but this does not mean that he is incapable. On the battlefield in the north, he led the soldiers and the wolf cavalry of the Demon Race for decades of war, and he has a deep understanding of life and death and fear.
When people are most afraid, they tend to stick to the places they are most familiar with, even if this choice is not wise. Zhou Tong did not go to the palace, but stayed here. In the eyes of some people afterwards, they might admire his calmness and resourcefulness, but in Xue He's view, this only showed that he was afraid.
The deep underground Zhou prison is the place Zhou Tong is most familiar with. He has killed too many people, demons, and demons here, and tortured too many people, demons, and demons.
Zhou Tong did not go to the palace because of the warning signs deep in his heart and his distrust of the saint, but he would not explain it to Xue He—Xue He was his prisoner, and he was not qualified to explain, and he I didn't want anyone to know that my devotion to the saint was not as strong as people thought.
The prison cell deep in the ground is too wet and dark to make people feel too comfortable. Even Zhou Tong himself, the cell where Xue He is located is relatively the driest one. Only a drop of water falls on the stone wall after a long time, and it will not fall on the table and the bed covered with straw.
This is of course considered preferential treatment, although the golden thorns on Xue He's body, which are used to restrain the exercises, were pierced one by one by Zhou Tong himself.
"Don't try to provoke me." Zhou Tong said calmly, "I won't kill you. After all, he said that we are also brothers."
Zhou Tong and Xue Xingchuan are brothers, and Xue Xingchuan and Xue He are also brothers.
Only the three brothers and Mrs. Xue knew about it.
In the past few years, Xue Xingchuan has always hoped that Xue He and Zhou Tong can also become real brothers.
Xue He didn't like Zhou Tong, but he didn't express anything.
The moment he knew that his elder brother was poisoned to death by Zhou Tong himself, he was extremely sad and angry, but he remained calm, because he had never regarded Zhou Tong as his brother, and he knew that Zhou Tong was such a person. After saying that, he finally couldn't control his emotions, and spit out a mouthful of bloody phlegm.
Zhou Tong turned to avoid it, but didn't turn back.
He maintained this posture, looking at a stone wall in the southwest corner outside the cell.
He could feel a very slight but clear vibration coming from the depths of that stone wall.
Someone touched the formation.
