Chapter 148 Murder
The heavily armed Janissaries surrounded the two of them, and Julian drew his sword from his waist.

Shi Zhengyang looked around, observed the movements of the enemies in the hall, and secretly gathered his internal energy into his hands. At this time, the situation was tense to the extreme.

"Put down your weapons!" The commander of the soldiers said coldly, "Your Highness, please don't disobey the king's order!"

"Wang Ming?" Julian sneered, "Where did the king come from? The one sitting on the chair?"

"When you are about to die, you still have to be stubborn!" The regent laughed as he said, "Put down your weapons, maybe you can save your life. Since the people like you so much, show them your crimes. You have been shaped so hard. The image of perfection will crumble."

"A public trial is going on, and you, a traitor who colluded with barbarians, will be stigmatized for thousands of years. A prince would actually collude with barbarians, hahaha." The regent smiled happily, and his beard began to shake.

"Mu Lan and the others are also under siege, so we can only rely on ourselves." Shi Zhengyang whispered to Julian, guarding against the soldiers who were approaching.

Compared with Shi Zhengyang's tense expression, Julian was much calmer, and he said softly, "Come with me later."

"Catch anyone who can be alive." The regent said, "Let's do it!"

As soon as the regent's words were spoken, the soldiers rushed forward. Shi Zhengyang reacted faster. He used the energy-gathering punch to directly release the internal force in his body, and knocked down several soldiers in front of him with one punch. Julian took the opportunity to run to the edge of the wall, on the velvet touched up.

Even if he wasn't in his prime, Shi Zhengyang was not something these Imperial Guard soldiers could defeat. The biggest threat was the royal mage group. These magicians began to chant spells, and several magic attacks attacked Shi Zhengyang in a short time.

Shi Zhengyang had no choice but to use the righteousness of Tiangang to block it, but the attacks of several magic missiles were too violent, and he heard a crackling sound on his body.

There was no time to think about what was going on, Shi Zhengyang barely survived this round of attacks, he turned his head to look at Julian, and said eagerly: "How is it!"

Since Shi Zhengyang blocked Julian's front and attracted all the firepower, no one attacked Julian's side, but he did not help but made very strange movements.

"What is he doing?" the Regent asked himself suspiciously.

Julian squatted down and touched the velvet on the wall, along the east side to the west side. His behavior was very strange. The regent was puzzled at first and then thought of something, and said loudly: "He is looking for the basement, stop him! "

Julian suddenly touched a tiny bump, and couldn't help showing joy, "It's here!"

The Palace of Hercules was his favorite room to stay in when he was a child. There are soft velvet walls and an oil portrait of his most admired ancestor, the Great Emperor. The heroic demeanor of galloping horses has always attracted him in his childhood. , and finding the secret mechanism to open the underground bunker is also one of childhood memories.

Boys at that age always have a particularly strong desire for adventure, and this dark and endless underground passage is naturally engraved in their hearts.

The underground passages under the palace are extremely complicated. Only the old king has the complete structural drawings. It is obvious that the regent does not know about the secret passage in the Hall of Hercules.

With a bang, a gap opened in the velvet-covered wall, followed by the sound of machinery and gears turning, and the wall slowly opened, revealing Julian's childhood memory—the dark underground passage.

"Captain Shi!" Julian turned around and shouted.

"Come right away!" Shi Zhengyang was using the body of the imperial guards to block the magic attack. After hearing Julian's voice, he turned around and ran back, and jumped into the secret passage the moment Julian closed the switch.

"You bastards!" the regent yelled angrily, pointing at the wall and roaring: "Hurry up and chase me! Julian must be caught!"

The royal mage group didn't expect that the cooked duck could fly away, so they cursed secretly, then rushed to the edge of the wall, groping for the mechanism to open the secret passage.

Fortunately, they didn't search for too long. Julian's actions just now could not be hidden from others, so after a while, someone found a hidden protrusion under a corner of the wall, and then pressed it lightly, and the hidden door of the secret passage opened again. It opened slowly, and there were two groups of faintly visible flames flickering in the pitch-black passage.

"That's a torch! Where are they!" The leader of the royal mage group was an old man. He pointed to the dark passage, and the rest of the magicians rushed in.

"Come on!"

Then the royal mage group and Julian launched a chase. This underground secret passage extends in all directions, interspersed with countless passages, and the looming fire in the distance undoubtedly provides a target for the pursuers.

Julian didn't know much about secret passages. When he was a child, he got lost in them. His father, King Leiden II, sent troops to search them and finally found him. After being punished, he naturally didn't dare to enter again, so it was almost Running around aimlessly.

The footsteps behind him were getting closer and closer, and Julian had to force himself to speed up, but with the magic shock technique of the old man, the entire secret passage shook like an earthquake, and he was knocked to the ground by a force.

This elementary magic didn't have much lethality, but it played a role in this scene. Just as Julian wanted to get up and run away, he found that the pursuers behind him had already leaned up.

Several magicians surrounded Julian. Seeing how they chanted spells and wanted to continue attacking, Julian knew that there was no way to dodge, so he shrugged helplessly, indicating that he would not resist any more.

"Stop!" The old man said immediately, and several magicians stopped releasing their magic. At this moment, soldiers of the Imperial Guard also surrounded him, and they tied Julian tightly with ropes.

"Now we can do business." The old man breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that the second prince had stopped resisting, he looked deep into the secret passage again, "That guard of his is gone?"

In the depths of the secret path, you can't see your fingers, and Shi Zhengyang's figure has long since disappeared, but the old man didn't care. The regent king has only one goal, and that is the second prince who was captured without a fight.

"Oh?" When the regent saw Julian who had been taken out, he couldn't hold back the smile on his lips. He waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about the rest, just continue to send troops to search for him."

"You are still the same as when you were a child."

The regent looked at Julian, who was pressed heavily under the steps and knelt on the ground. He didn't even raise his head now, maybe he was ashamed or didn't dare to look at him.

The regent was in a good mood, showing a smile of unknown meaning. He walked up to Julian, patted him on the shoulder with a victorious gesture, and said, "Little Julian, who hasn't grown up, should run away when something happens. "

Julian turned his head to the side in disdain, as if he did not admit defeat, the regent smiled, summoned the attendant, and ordered: "Take him to the prison."
