"General, the Regent has arrived."

Zhao Heng raised his eyebrows, "Lead me to the living room."

It was already certain that the Prince Regent would come to look for him. Zhao Hengzhi had sent someone to keep an eye on the Prince Regent's Mansion since he was suspended from his post. Whenever there was a carriage riding in the direction of the General's Mansion, he would be notified as soon as possible, and he rushed back from the Princess Mansion.

"How is the general's self-cultivation these days?" The regent asked holding tea.

Zhao Heng pretended to be helpless and snorted coldly, "The regent should be very clear about my situation, and how to cultivate myself."

The regent laughed, hiding his displeasure in his heart. If he hadn't found out that the people in charge of important affairs in the army had been replaced by Zhao Heng's people, and Zhao Heng's prestige in the army, he really didn't want to leave this place. In just two months, this man has mastered most of the military power in Beijing, he is considered a rare talent.

"General Zhao is serious. I'm only temporarily taking over the general's official duties. When the emperor's anger subsides, General Zhao will be reinstated in advance." The regent said with narrowed eyes.

"I'm afraid that the emperor has already developed a dissatisfaction with me. I have been on the battlefield for nine years, and I can't compare with those civil servants who gossip. Better off."

The regent couldn't see the expression under his mask, so he could only judge his emotions through his tone. Hearing the resentment in Zhao Heng's words, he smiled with satisfaction, "The general was just too excited that day, Your Majesty A general who will understand."

"You made the regent laugh." Zhao Heng paused and continued, his words were full of disappointment, "I just didn't expect Tan Haozhi to marry the princess, and he spoke for me at the banquet when I returned triumphantly that day. He admired him very much, and I told him early on that I had feelings for the princess when we communicated in private, but he knew about it, but he still communicated with the princess in private. How could he know that not long after his wife disappeared, he wanted to get engaged to the princess, this is really unfair to the princess, I, Zhao Heng, am a rough person, I am really not used to speaking rudely, I really misjudged."

"It's not the actions of a gentleman to seize love like this, Mr. Qin. This king can understand what General Zhao did in the court that day."

"It's still the regent who knows me. I am suffering now. People in the court avoid me like snakes and scorpions. Only the regent will visit me in person. Hmph, I only hate Tan Haozhi, a hypocrite full of benevolence and morality, who is reused by the emperor. Really The disaster of the common people is also to be blamed for the emperor's blindness and incompetence."

"General, you can say this in front of me, but if you tell outsiders, you may be killed." The regent smiled and took a sip of tea, and said lightly.

"I, Zhao, can act upright and sit upright. I ask myself that I am not afraid of the power in the world. I work so hard not for the imperial power, but only for the heaven and the earth. Why should I be afraid?"

The regent was startled, and slowly put down the tea in his hand, "That's it, General Zhao and this king have the same ideas." The regent smiled, "As the saying goes, division is harmful, and cooperation is beneficial."

Zhao Heng and the regent looked at each other and smiled, everything was kept silent.

Naturally, he would not refuse the fish to take the bait. This was the result he wanted, and it was also the result that Brother Huang wanted.

Wang Qizhao hurried back to Xuanjingling.

Xuanjingling is located in Qingxuan Mountain in Luchang County. The forest in the mountain is tall and there are many snakes, insects and beasts. The light mist around it contains a slight toxin. Free from outside intrusion.

Wang Qizhao took the medicine in advance, crossed the poisonous forest to avoid the trap, and soon saw the exquisite pavilion hidden in the deep valley.

The Wang family has been ordered to guard Xuanjing Ridge for a hundred years. He grew up in this valley as long as he can remember. The place is sparsely populated, and he has been with wild beasts all day long, so he has developed a temperament that does not like to talk.

He was only 12 years old when he left the valley for the first time, because the imperial city needed new hostages.

The Wang family was wronged and imprisoned, and all the families were executed. Their lineage escaped the death penalty because they were guarding the treasure. He didn't understand why the emperor knew that their Wang family was wronged, but still used □□ to control their family. Every generation of patriarchs of the pulse, forbid them to go out of the mountain. When he knew that his father was poisoned and had to take the antidote sent by the court every year, he was so angry that he wanted to blow up those treasures. Anyway, he didn't understand what cold or shiny things What's good, they need to watch over them for a lifetime.

When he said he was going to enter the imperial city to assassinate the emperor to get the antidote for his father, he was punished by his father to kneel in the ancestral hall and whipped twenty times.

He remembered that at the time he said that his father was cowardly and foolish.

His father said that he was ignorant when he was young, and he would understand when he grew up that his loyalty was not to the emperor, but to the days of peace.

This is not a peaceful day, there is no freedom at all.

You can do your own way, or you can do it willfully, but if you don't have the capital and the ability, you will only harm others and yourself. If I let go of the burden on my shoulders, who can protect you?If I make a wrong step and harm you, how should I deal with myself?Living in this world, how can there be absolute freedom? Now it is considered a peaceful life. If you go out in the future, you will understand the dangers of the world.

Wang Qizhao was speechless, and his father left exhausted for a while.

Later, he was the most disobedient and was sent to Beijing as a hostage. Before leaving, his father repeatedly told him to go out and do more, talk less, and not to implicate others by doing stupid things.

He was arbitrarily arranged to be the distant nephew of a certain minister, working for the late emperor. The prosperous life in central Beijing seemed strange to him, and he couldn't get used to it for a long time. Later, the late emperor sent him to the frontier to protect Zhao Heng.

He bid farewell to the emperor, only saying that the Wang family was in trouble, and he had to go back no matter what.

The emperor was very smart, so he glanced at him with a smile and asked, "But someone wants to take the treasure?"

Wang Qizhao nodded.

The emperor was silent for a while, "Is it the regent?"

Wang Qizhao nodded again.

He promised not to tell, but it didn't mean he would lie about it.

"How about waiting for a few days? Make a decision after I make a decision."

But he didn't wait any longer, he wasn't sure if the emperor was willing to let him go, or if he was willing to trust the Wang family, he was a hostage after all.

The regent acted fiercely. He didn't know what the regent's original plan was. The only thing he knew was that the regent was looking for clues to the treasure eight years ago, and he killed the entire Guihe village two years ago. Winning the treasure will be a fierce battle.

Being able to find out the location of the treasure means that they already have their internal response in Xuanjing Ridge.

"Why are you back?" Father Wang was surprised and surprised when he saw him come back.

Wang Qizhao explained the ins and outs.

Father Wang watched in silence as Wang Qizhao took out the antidote, "I have helped you find the antidote and the method of making it all these years, and I have tried it on me, and it can cure the poison on your body, just in time for the regent to ask for it." To seize the treasure, we can take this opportunity to escape from the emperor's control, without having to participate in the struggle between them."

Father Wang was amazed, looking at the pills in front of him, the restraint of so many years could finally dissipate, but he didn't feel at ease.

Seeing his father's hesitant expression, Wang Qizhao asked, "What is father hesitating about? You said you were loyal to the peaceful life, and you could live a peaceful life without the control of the royal family, so why hesitate."

"Now the regent intends to seize the treasure, should we just watch him take it away?"

"The royal family treats us like this. We have no obligation to work for the royal family, and we have never received any benefits from the royal family. Why should we make unnecessary sacrifices for them?"

Father Wang smiled wryly, "This is something we have guarded for many years, and it is also what we have sacrificed for so many years. Let me watch the treasure being taken away by evil people with evil intentions, and let more people in the world suffer. I can't do it."

Wang Qizhao was silent, since his father said so, he knew it would be useless to talk too much.

After so many years, he suddenly understood that it was not the imperial power or the inanimate treasure that restrained their royal family, but the mission suppressed by their predecessors.

"According to what you said, we already have the regent's internal response in Xuanjing Ridge, and we must rectify it immediately." After the king's father finished speaking, he asked Wang Qizhao to go down to rest first.

When Wang Qizhao was about to step out of the door, he asked again, "By the way, how is Haozhi doing these days?"

Wang Qizhao was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"It's so good. Your aunt Wang passed away, and he was left alone in the world. Who would have thought that the regent would be so vicious that he would kill the entire Guihe village. It's a pity that we can't reveal our identity and help him. You are outside Take good care of him."

Wang Qizhao nodded, and a smile appeared on Father Wang's serious face, "You also need to take care of yourself, go down and rest first."

Wang Qizhao responded and walked out.

After walking a few steps, I saw the Queen Mother who was guarding outside. Seeing him coming out, she immediately grabbed him with a smile on her face and dragged him to the backyard to rest. As soon as he entered the backyard, many people were waiting for him. Stop him and ask him about the outside world.

He didn't know many people, and his younger siblings who loved to pester him when he was young had also grown taller, smiling shyly at the side.

Even though he usually seldom talked, he talked with them for a long time when he got home, and he was free until sunset.

Wang Qizhao knew that his purpose of coming back this time was regarded as a failure. He originally wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of the shackles of the Wang family and reduce casualties, but after all he is a person who does not understand the truth. It is never external things that restrain people, but internal things Thought.

Two days later, a fierce battle broke out in Xuanjingling, and the father of the king sent people to resist it desperately.

Just after repelling a group of men in black, when the situation was urgent, someone sent a letter written by the emperor. The prince took time out of his busy schedule to read it, and couldn't help being stunned.

The emperor actually let them evacuate after blowing up the treasure entrance.

Even Wang Qizhao couldn't help being stunned.

There are three entrances to the treasure, and the mountains are steep. If the mountain pass is blown up, it will cause rocks to collapse, but it will kill people in a moment, so you must be extremely careful.

"Does this mean that the Wang family doesn't need to guard here anymore?" Wang Qizhao asked.

Father Wang couldn't hold the letter with trembling hands, "The mission of the Wang family is over."

Father Wang sighed, and then said, "Immediately arrange some people to escort the women and Confucians in the valley to evacuate first, and the other people to follow me to make arrangements."

"Exploding the mountain." When these two words were pronounced, Father Wang felt relieved.

Accidents inevitably happened during the busy schedule. When the sound of explosions sounded one after another, there was a mountain pass that did not sound the sound of explosions for a long time.

When Father Wang and Wang Qizhao arrived, the people at the entrance of the cave were hesitating whether to go in and investigate. Seeing them coming, they hurriedly explained the situation.

Maybe there is something wrong with the fuse or the fuse, and the fuse has burned into the hole. If you go in and check it, your life may be in danger.

"It seems that it will take some time here." Father Wang looked at Wang Qizhao and said, "Qi Zhao, you go and escort your mother now, I'm worried that the regent's people will become angry and attack them when they hear that we detonated the Treasure Pass."

Wang Qizhao shook his head, "I'll follow you."

Father Wang sternly said, "Be obedient, go and escort your mother and siblings, you haven't come back for a long time to accompany them more, besides your martial arts are relatively high, I don't worry if you go."

Wang Qizhao shook his head again, "It's because I have relatively high martial arts skills, so I should stay here. It should be my father who escorted them away. I will take care of this place for you."

Just as they were talking, someone came to report that someone had invaded at the foot of the mountain and was attacking the escort team.

Wang Qizhao lit a torch, and smiled at Father Wang, "Father, hurry up and help, I'm here." Then he turned around and was about to go to the cave.

Father Wang grabbed him violently, "Qi Zhao!"

"This is where my lightness kung fu is the best. If something happens to me, let alone other people." Wang Qizhao turned back and said, "I will be fine, don't delay any longer."

Father Wang gave a hand.

"It just so happened that I was sent to Beijing since I was a child. You won't be too sad if something happens. It's the same with me or without me." After speaking, Wang Qizhao quickly pulled off his sleeves and walked into the cave. Before stepping into the cave, his waist wounded Slight pain, Wang Qizhao stroked the unhealed wound, smiled, actually it was not the case, after getting to know Xie Xunhuan, how could he be willing to die, even if it was a dead end, he had to fight for a way out.

Seeing that tall figure disappear before his eyes, Father Wang felt a sudden pain in his heart.

Qi Zhao really blamed him for sending him to Beijing, how should he explain it, it wasn't that he was cruel, it was just because he was the best and the most reassuring for him, so he believed that he could live a good life, but ignored his feelings.

This time he should trust him too.

After a long silence, there was a sudden loud noise in the cave, and the ground trembled.

"There was an explosion inside! Father, get out first!"

"Qi Zhao...Qi Zhao is still inside..."

"I don't have time to take care of my second brother, let's go first!" Wang Qihong dragged his father away regardless, and greeted the people around him.

There was a continuous sound of explosions in the cave, and the rocks rolled down. Father Wang watched helplessly as the cave collapsed before his eyes and was successfully blocked, but his son did not come out.

How could it be the same with him or without him, how could it not be sad...

Father Wang said with a pale face, "Stay behind a few people to investigate, and others will follow me down the mountain."
