Unparalleled Evildoer

Chapter 162 Take Back My Things

There were no footsteps heard before, obviously the people outside had been eavesdropping for a long time. Then the door of the room was opened and several people came in, led by the old man in black. When the two saw the man next to him, they were both surprised at the same time, because this person was Wuzhan.

Seeing Wuzhan's hands tied behind his back, Fusu was somewhat disappointed. He stood up and exclaimed, "Brother Zhan, how did they catch you too?"

Wuzhan remained calm and said, "They brought me here to see you." His voice was a little weak.

Fusu said: "I am still waiting for you to come and rescue me. How can you rescue us if you are brought here like this?"

"Don't worry, Prince. They won't hurt you. Just bear with it for another day and they will let you go. I came here just to make sure you are safe. They won't detain me."

Fusu stared at the people around him and asked, "Who are they and why are they imprisoning me?"

Wuzhan smiled slightly and said, "They are from a very prominent background. I have already said that I cannot reveal anything for now. I hope the eldest prince will understand."

Gongsun Yu stared at Wuzhan's thin face and knew that his condition had worsened. He felt sad and thought to himself, "He must have come here to save me, enduring the pain. I owe him a lot in this life!" After a moment, his vision blurred and tears flowed uncontrollably.

Fusu glared at the masked old man and said coldly: "If you get out, no matter who you are, I will never forgive you!"

The woman in green suddenly giggled and said, "Sir, didn't you say that having a beauty as your companion makes life worthwhile? How come you forgot that right after you said it? We took the trouble to bring the beauty here, but instead of being grateful, you treat us as your enemies. I think this man's heart is always hypocritical. He says he only loves one person, but in fact he wants everything. But from now on, Sir, you won't be able to rule the country!"

Wuzhan heard this and turned to look at the woman in green. He said in a deep voice, "Didn't you promise that as long as the Immortal Dao Academy is destroyed, you would release the eldest prince and would not endanger his status? From what the girl said, it seems that you want to break your promise?"

The woman in green said, "Your Excellency has heard it outside, a prince like this is not fit to rule the country, and he wants to compete with you for women, so why bother to support him? You might as well take this opportunity to depose him and find another wise ruler!"

"Wise ruler? Are you planning to rebel?" Wuzhan asked coldly.

"Princess..." The green-dressed woman smiled charmingly, "Your Excellency is extremely talented and smart. How come you still can't guess why we brought you here?"

Wuzhan smiled slightly and said, "I am stupid and really can't guess it. Can you please explain it to me, young lady?"

"Speaking of which, we have to thank our 'romantic talent'. If he hadn't provided us with the mysterious relationship between the lord and this beauty, we really wouldn't have been able to lure you here so easily. The lord thought that if you came, would we let you go back?" Seeing that Wuzhan was just looking at her calmly, she continued proudly: "The lord is full of tricks. If he cheats in front of the emperor, our plan will be messed up. So, it is safer to leave the lord here. Tomorrow, 'lord Wuzhan' will go to Mount Li. We will feel much more at ease with what he says!"

Wuzhan said: "Using Hua Qingyue's disguise technique is indeed foolproof, so why don't you kill me? Isn't this safer?"

The green-dressed woman smiled and said, "Your Excellency's talent is unparalleled in the world. Of course, some people appreciate your talent and are reluctant to kill you. Whether you live or die, let your Excellency make the choice yourself."

Wuzhan said in a deep voice: "It seems that you really want to rebel!"

"Princess, you are only half right. We are not rebelling, but taking back what originally belonged to my family!"

"I guess the Lord Tingwei is still unaware of what you have told me?"

"Your Excellency guessed correctly. They want to use us to destroy Xiandao Academy. How can we allow them to control us? Mount Li is the cemetery of the ancestors who rebelled against the Qin Dynasty. Tomorrow, the Burial Cauldron will bury those traitors together with them at the foot of Mount Li!"

Wuzhe's eyes moved, his thoughts raced, and he asked, "If my guess is correct, your master should be the crown prince of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, right?"

The woman in green smiled and said, "I didn't expect that you would still remember the King of Zhou. Since you have already guessed it, I don't need to hide it. Yes, my master is the King of Zhou, Ji Jie."

When these words came out, Fusu exclaimed: "Didn't Marquis Wenxin bury them all?"

"My master was less than three years old at that time. How could Lu Buwei recognize him? In order to protect the bloodline of the Great Zhou Dynasty, his father had already entrusted him to Master Zhishui. Now the time is ripe, and it is time for revenge!"

Gongsun Yu's heart trembled when she heard that, she didn't expect that their purpose was also revenge. She turned to look at Wuzhan and saw that his eyes were clear and she couldn't tell what he was thinking. She thought to herself, "If we tell them our life stories, will they believe us and take revenge together?" But at this time, the only person she could trust was Wuzhan. With him around, she felt more at ease. He had his reasons for not telling her.

Fusu looked at the woman in green coldly and said, "Although the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was destroyed by my Great Qin, at that time the princes were divided and the wars never stopped. It had long existed in name only. My Great Qin followed the will of heaven and completed the unification. The world stopped fighting and the four seas were pacified. What's the point of you coming here for revenge now!"

The woman in green giggled and said, "If revenge is meaningless, then there is no point in us living. Moreover, the Four Seas have not been pacified yet, and your father is not a wise and enlightened ruler. After tomorrow, the Burial Cauldron will bury him in his eternal dream!"

Wuzhan said coldly: "Don't speak too early. No matter how detailed your plan is, the Qin Empire cannot be shaken by your conspiracy. I advise you to give up as soon as possible. Maybe the Lord of Justice has already chosen your cemetery!" The woman in green said: "My Lord, don't worry about us. Just wait here for our good news!" She turned to the masked old man and said: "Keep an eye on them. If you find anything wrong, kill them immediately!"

Wuzhan smiled and said, "You will definitely not escape the eyes of my disciples if you pretend to be me. Besides, your identities will be verified tomorrow. Without Miaoxin's guards, tiger talisman and official seal, my second brother will definitely find out. By then, all your efforts will be in vain."

The woman in green was startled when she heard this. She had never seen this tiger talisman before and it was difficult to forge. If she didn't have it, it would probably be discovered tomorrow. She had indeed not thought of this point before, but she quickly regained her smile and said, "Then please tell me where your tiger talisman and official seal are. If you don't tell them or if they cheat, they will suffer!" After saying that, she glanced at Gongsun Yu.

Wuzhan said, "How dare I not tell you? They are all kept by Miaoxin. I'm just afraid you don't have the ability to take them."

The woman in green giggled and said, "You underestimate Sister Hua's disguise skills. Someone, bring 'Master Wuzhan' to him!" After a while, a man in court robes walked in and stood in front of Wuzhan.

Wuzhan was amazed when he saw it, it was clearly himself in the mirror. Gongsun Yu covered her lips with her hands, she was even more surprised. Fusu looked left and right, but could not tell the difference, even the weak body was exactly the same.

Wuzhan said: "The name of 'Thousand-Change Demon Girl' is indeed well-deserved. I wonder how the voice imitation is?"

The woman in green winked at Wuzhan, who said calmly, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Long live the Emperor!" His voice was exactly the same as Wuzhan's.

The woman in green smiled sweetly and said, "Do you think it will be easy for him to get it back?"

Wuzhan smiled slightly and said, "If you can deceive my disciples, then no one will be able to detect it."

The woman in green said, "I will take him to verify it immediately. But please take off your clothes and put them on him. Then it will be exactly the same!" After that, she walked out of the room. The two of them stepped forward, untied Wuzhan, and took off his white clothes.

Wuzhan put on the court robe that Wuzhan had taken off, and took the opportunity to glance at the skin under Wuzhan's collar. Compared with the color of his face, the skin was slightly rosy. Wuzhan's mouth corners moved slightly, but no one noticed.

……

After the green-dressed woman led her people away, Gongsun Yu stared at Wu Yu, tears streaming down his face, and said sadly, "Luo Yan was killed by them!"

Wuzhan walked up to Gongsun Yu, feeling guilty, and whispered, "I already know. It was my carelessness that made me not expect them to attack the girl. I killed her!"

Gongsun Yu wiped away her tears and said sadly, "My lord, don't blame yourself. It's my fate that has brought trouble upon you!"

Fusu sighed and said, "These evildoers have been plotting for a long time. How could they have thought of using such despicable means!" He paused and said, "It's just that we can't get out and expose their conspiracy. It's really outrageous!"

Wuzhan slowly sat cross-legged on the ground, leaning against the stone wall, and said tiredly: "I thought before that the old ministers in the court recruited masters of cultivation in order to get rid of the Immortal Dao Academy and persuade Your Majesty to give up building the Lishan Immortal Palace. Now it seems that those old ministers are either kept in the dark or have colluded with them. The situation is now very unfavorable to Your Majesty. At this point, we can only hope that the Minister of Justice can wake up early and stop before it is too late!"

Fusu said dejectedly: "Brother Zhan, is there any way for us to get out?" Seeing that Wuzhan did not respond, he was very disappointed. He turned to look at Gongsun Yu and sighed: "If they don't let me go, brother Zhan, you should surrender, and then take Miss Gongsun away from here and find a way to cure her illness!" These words were true and came from the heart.

Wuzhe was silent for a long time. Fusu was actually considering the safety of Princess Yu at this time instead of worrying about himself. It seemed that he really fell in love with Princess Yu. He felt inexplicably sad in his heart. He really didn't understand what love was. He often thought about them when he was not around. He was willing to give for them and hoped that they would be safe and happy. There was that moment, that trace of irrationality, but it was instantly swallowed up by reality. He really envied and admired Fusu, who could bravely pour out his thoughts and accompany her with his life. However, he was always inferior, had no capital, lonely and indifferent. His heart seemed to hide a shadow in this aspect, and this shadow would always hurt him.

But Fusu didn't know that the person he fell in love with was his enemy. If he knew, would he still fall in love with her? To be fair, Fusu was a very open-minded and benevolent gentleman. If Princess Yu agreed to marry her, she would definitely live a happy life and even become the mother of the country. Isn't this a good destination? But would Princess Yu give up her blood feud and marry him? Wuzhan didn't know, and he had no right to change it.

Gongsun Yu didn't expect Fusu to say that. She didn't hate Fusu, but how could the hatred be melted? Her heart was sealed. Otherwise, how could she stay in Xianyang and even be with Wuzhan... I really hope those people can succeed. Although they didn't kill Ying Zheng personally, at least someone avenged her. But as Wuzhan said, the Qin Dynasty is so powerful, can it be shaken by just a few people? If they fail, they still need to go on their own.

……

Wuzhan closed his eyes and leaned against the stone wall, as if resigning himself to his fate. Gongsun Yu lowered his head and remained silent, still immersed in grief.

Fusu looked at the two of them from time to time, feeling restless. He originally thought that the group of people who imprisoned him were the princes who were competing with him for favor, and that as long as his father was angry and punished him, he would be released. He never thought that the group of people were the remnants of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. After all, he was the eldest prince. Now his father's safety was in danger, and the empire conquered by his ancestors was also threatened. He could not get out, and he racked his brains but could not think of a solution, and he was in a state of confusion.

……

After a long time, the door opened and "Wu Barrier-Free" walked in.
