The abandoned queen is reborn: she makes the prince cry and seizes the throne!

After exiting the narrow alley, you will see the commercial road facing Houhu Lake.

It was a bitterly cold winter, with thick ice on the surface of the lake. Although there was no sound of gurgling water, it still attracted many children, who came close to the lake with small lanterns in hand, looking at the unclear shadows of fire cast by the lanterns and laughing slightly.

There is a bamboo forest beside the lake, but it is now deserted. Ning Rongzhang's eyelashes are frosty in winter, and his eyes are like a deep cave, luring prey into the game step by step.

There was not even a trace of wind, and the palms exposed outside were slightly white. Wei Zheng subconsciously took a few steps back, and saw several figures quickly passing by Ning Rongzhang.

"Hiss - the calculation is so accurate." Wei Zheng quickly took a few steps back, while Liao Hui stayed beside Wei Zheng diligently and faithfully. Looking at those black-clothed men with extraordinary skills, she secretly worried for Ning Rongzhang.

Xiao Qi's eyes flashed, and he wandered among the men in black. Ning Rongzhang, wearing a cloak with dark gold embroidery and python patterns, snatched a sword from one of them in a few moves and counterattacked the enemy.

As the saying goes, two fists cannot beat four hands. Ning Rongzhang wanted to be a hero, but Wei Zheng was not willing to let him die here. Fortunately, those people only had eyes for Ning Rongzhang, and no one cared about his life or death.

"Guard Liao, hurry up, General Ji should be not far away, hurry up and get reinforcements."

The two of them left together, following the main street that Ji Mengshu had walked. Ji Yuan was standing in front of a restaurant, absorbed in thinking about the riddle on the mahogany sign, and after a long while he slowly uttered the word "wine".

The shopkeeper was overjoyed and said with a red face, "Congratulations, young master. The answer to the riddle is the word 'wine'. The jar of aged wine in our shop is yours."

The crowd around them cheered. Wei Zheng walked over in two or three steps, grabbed the man's arm, and led Ji Yuanzheng out of the encirclement, regardless of what the shopkeeper behind him said, "Hey - Young Master, your wine!"

"Master Wei, what are you doing here? It can't be that the prince is also coveting this family's wine and wants you to bring him a jar..."

Ji Yuanzheng just felt that these two people were like ghosts that were lingering around.

Wei Zheng finally managed to catch his breath and looked at Ji Yuanzheng in an exaggerated manner, with a serious expression, "Oh no, General Ji, Ning Rongzhang is going to die!"

-

There were few people in the stone pavilion facing the back lake. Wei Zheng led Ji Yuanzheng and his group over and saw the man hidden in the darkness with neat clothes. Xiao Qi and Asan stood respectfully beside him, surrounded by men in black who had surrendered their weapons.

The black-clad leader was indignant, feeling that he had fallen into King Changyou's trap. He wished he could go back to a few days ago so that he could plan carefully and capture King Changyou alive.

"You use tricks!"

The black-clad leader gritted his teeth, and the implication of his words seemed to be that King Changyou was shameless.

Ning Rongzhang raised his eyes lazily and waved his hand slightly. Asan beside him coldly half-lifted him up, stripped off his upper body clothes in the cold winter, and a nine-headed snake tattoo pattern was revealed on his skin.

"My Lord, it is true."

Wei Zheng was supported by someone and walked slowly over. Seeing Ning Rongzhang sitting here intact and still having the leisure to take off his clothes, he felt that his sincere desire to save him just now was wasted. "No, what's wrong with you?"

Ji Yuanzheng almost rolled his eyes to the sky and said in a teasing tone, "Is this what Master Wei meant when he said that the prince is about to die?"

Wei Zheng was speechless. "No, General Ji, please listen to my excuse... Bah, explain..."

Just now when Ning Rongzhang and Xiaoqi were surrounded by these men in black, it was indeed very dangerous, but Asan was always there in the dark, which gave them a chance to turn the tables.

"Nothing, but these people are very important. I have to bring them back to the palace to deal with them." Ning Rongzhang stood up without staying for a moment.

The prince was still very busy, so Ji Yuanzheng followed him back.

After returning to the mansion, Ji Yuan was carefully looking at the Hydra patterns on their bodies and asked with doubts, "What kind of organization is this?"

Wei Zheng continued, "General Ji has not been with the prince for many years and may not have seen the Hydra people, but from what I understand, the Hydra organization is probably some kind of supervisory agency from the previous dynasty... In other words, it is specifically targeting princes like them." No wonder Ning Rongzhang would be hunted down from time to time.

Wei Zheng turned around, looked at the people who were tied up, and said, "Tell me, am I right?"

The black-clad leader glanced at Wei Zheng and turned his head away, obviously not wanting to pay any attention to him.

Ning Rongzhang picked up the brocade box on the table and handed it to Ah San, who opened the brocade box and placed it in front of the leader. "Hydra, you first appeared during the reign of Emperor Taizu, and then disappeared after Emperor Taizu passed away. In recent years, you have appeared frequently in the Dali Dynasty to assassinate the prince. Why is that?"

The man in black cast a disdainful look into the brocade box, and then his eyes suddenly widened, because the object inside was none other than half of Emperor Taizu's tiger talisman.

"How come...how come you have the tiger talisman?"

Ah San took back the brocade box and squatted down. "Tiger Talisman...how much do you know?"

Now that things have come to this, there seems to be little point in keeping it secret. Now that they have obtained the tiger talisman, they believe they will soon find out what happened during the reign of Emperor Taizu.

"This half tiger talisman was a token of Emperor Taizu's time. After Emperor Taizu ascended the throne, this tiger talisman no longer had any practical use... But that's just what you think."

The man in black moved his body, staring at the tiger talisman in Ah San's hand with burning eyes, "Later, a secret organization was established based on this tiger talisman - the Hydra. It means to understand all the affairs of the Dali Dynasty in a comprehensive manner and protect the safety of the Kyoto royal family. Those who possess the tiger talisman can mobilize all the people in the Hydra organization."

Emperor Taizu actually gave such an important token to Princess Wuhua. Ning Rongzhang tapped the table with his fingertips, "Do you know the whereabouts of this tiger talisman?"

The black-clad leader shook his head regretfully. "Since Emperor Taizu passed away, we have been hiding in the dark, only moving occasionally. As for who has the tiger talisman now, I have no idea."

Wei Zheng held back his laughter. It seemed that the Hydra had been hunting Ning Rongzhang down because Ning Rongzhang was raising troops within the fiefdom... These people had sensed something was wrong and wanted to kill him. But now half of the tiger talisman was in Ning Rongzhang's hands. His former enemy had now become half his master. The man in black must be feeling bad.

"This half of the tiger talisman was obtained by me from Princess Wuhua. Since I passed it on to my daughter, the other half must still be in the hands of a certain prince."
