The poisonous concubine allures the city, the ghost king loves the sky

Chapter 176 Break Out in Silence

Feng Wuxie kicked away a Flying Eagle Guard, and saw that there were gunpowder hidden everywhere in the secret room. It might not be long before this place would explode.

"Xiao Ziqi, are you crazy? If the gunpowder explodes, you won't be able to escape." Xueying finally panicked now, and ran out while beating.

Xiao Ziqi stood by the door of the secret room, smiled coldly, and shouted at Xue Ying: "Go to hell."

At the same time, he threw the torch in his hand to the place where the gunpowder was hidden.

The stone door of the secret room slammed shut, and it was too late for Xue Ying and Fei Yingwei to snatch the torch. In the panic, Feng Wuxie felt that someone was grabbing his wrist vigorously.

Then his body was hugged into his arms, and he rolled towards a hidden door.

Before falling into darkness, Feng Wuxie saw Xueying and her flying eagle guards slapping on the stone gate frantically.

There was an explosion and flames blazed, and those people were all engulfed in flames and torn apart.

With a plop, Feng Wuxie and the man fell into the dark river, and then heard a huge explosion, shaking the ground.

The huge boulder above his head kept falling down. Fortunately, Feng Wuxie's water skills were good, and he dodged flexibly in the water, thus avoiding being hit by the boulder.

After a while, the sound stopped.

The water in the dark river was icy cold, but luckily it wasn't too fast. Feng Wuxie and the man swam vigorously, and after a while, they saw a light appearing in front of them.

With a crash, two heads emerged from the water.

Feng Wuxie wiped the water off his face, looked back, and couldn't help being surprised: "It's you?"

Hastily touched his face, and felt that the human skin mask was still there, but the edges had been lifted after being soaked in water.

He simply tore off the human skin mask and said to Xiao Zhengqi, "Why did you appear here?"

After finishing speaking, Feng Wuxie felt a little embarrassed again. She, the "bride" left the "groom" and ran out alone, isn't it a bit unnatural?
Xiao Zhengqi smiled faintly at Feng Wuxie, stood up from the water, and stretched out his hand to Feng Wuxie: "Come up first and then talk."

The water here only reached the thighs, Feng Wuxie and Xiao Zhengqi hugged each other and dripped onto the shore from the water, the two of them squeezed out the water from their clothes.

Only then did Xiao Zhengqi calmly say: "I originally wanted to blow up the crocodile pond and take you out of Xiao's house while taking advantage of the chaos, but I didn't expect you to sneak into a secret passage, so I had no choice but to follow you in. There is a secret passage in this secret passage, which leads directly to the dark river, I discovered it by accident, I didn't expect it, and it saved our lives."

"You blew up the crocodile pond?" Feng Wuxie asked in surprise, just now she thought it was Xiao Ziqi who jumped over the wall in a hurry.

Xiao Zhengqi nodded: "If I don't destroy that evil place, how can I feel at ease?"

"What about the gunpowder in the secret room? You did it too?"

"Yes."

Feng Wuxie didn't expect that a person who had been silent for more than twenty years would burst out with such terrifying power.

Xiao Zhengqi almost committed suicide in exchange for a chance to escape from the prison.

After a while, Feng Wuxie said to Xiao Zhengqi: "Xiao Tianrui is dead."

That person is not worthy of being his father, how can a person covered in blood be worthy of being him who is clean and dusty?
Xiao Zhengqi looked at the place where the thick black smoke was rising, and nodded his head invisibly after a while: "It's clean to die."

The governor's mansion was in a mess, thick smoke billowed everywhere, and the maids and servants screamed and ran, making a mess.

The governor was killed, and all the guests who came to the wedding banquet disappeared in the blink of an eye, and there was no one in charge in the mansion.

These people who have been enslaved for a long time finally have a day to regain their freedom. Everyone panicked and rushed to the gate with their burdens.

As long as they leave this door, no one will bully or abuse them from now on.

However, a group of people quickly surrounded the governor's mansion, and the icy swords and guns glowed with cold light, forcing those maids and servants who wanted to escape from the mansion to go back.

"Take it."

On the horseback, a general was wearing armor, his eyes were like torches, looking at these lowly slaves who were trying to escape, his eyes were as cold as iron.

The governor's naval army is stationed in the outskirts of Ningcheng, and if there is any trouble here, they will know it immediately.

General Zuo, who followed Xiao Tianrui and made countless contributions, immediately led his army over after hearing the explosion in the Governor's Mansion.

Taking control of this place at the first time, he got off his horse and strode into the governor's mansion. Looking at the mess in the mansion, he frowned.

He grabbed a young servant by the neck and asked, "Say, what's going on?"

The boy didn't know the reason of the matter, trembling and unable to speak, Zuo Shen raised his long knife, and a bloodstain was drawn on the boy's neck.

The person collapsed on the ground and lost his breath.

Those maidservants and servants all turned pale with fright and shrank into a ball.

General Zuo Shen strode into the mansion, and bumped into Xiao Ziqi, who was fleeing in a panic, Xiao Ziqi groaned and fell to the ground.

Just about to get angry, when he saw the person standing in front of him, he couldn't help showing joy: "General Zuo, you came at the right time, Feiyingwei, it's reversed."

The villain Xiao Ziqi filed a complaint first, and blamed Feiyingwei for all his faults. Anyway, there is no proof.

General Zuo Shen raised his eyebrows angrily, and said in disbelief: "Impossible, Fei Yingwei is the governor's dead man, how could it be so easy to rebel?"

"What if Feiyingwei is not from Western Chu?" Xiao Ziqi said, and at the same time handed a sleeve arrow in his hand to the left general.

"This sleeve arrow is not owned by me, Xichu. The totem on it is a decoration that only other small countries would use. Doesn't that explain everything?"

Looking at the sleeve arrow in his hand, General Zuo fell silent.

If Feiyingwei had harbored dissent for a long time ago, how could he show his feet at this moment? It is really hard to be convincing based on Xiao Ziqi's words alone.

But now that the governor is assassinated, if it is reported to the court, Emperor Chu will definitely punish himself for the crime of failing to protect the lord.

General Zuo was caught in a dilemma, whether he wanted to support Xiao Ziqi to take over the position, or the imperial court sent someone to take over the governor's seat.

No matter which one, it is not what he wants now.

And the most important point is the strangeness of Feiying Weifan. If he is really a spy from another country, he will definitely be implicated.

According to Emperor Chu's suspicious nature, he was afraid that the entire Jiangnan navy would be dismissed.

Thinking of this, General Zuo's eyes became clearer, and he said to Xiao Ziqi: "I'm afraid the eldest son is wrong, it is clear that the servants in the mansion accidentally ignited the gunpowder barrel, which caused a catastrophe , causing the governor to die."

After all, Xiao Ziqi had never been in the officialdom, so he could not have imagined the stakes involved, but he didn't turn around for a while when General Zuo said this.

"General Zuo, what do you mean?"

Zuo Shen pointed to the servants kneeling outside and said, "If they didn't have the intention of harming the adults, how could they run out after the incident? This is obviously a guilty conscience."

Xiao Ziqi didn't understand General Zuo's meaning, but at this moment, he didn't dare to disobey his words, so he could only follow his words.

"Then what do you want to do?"

"Report to the imperial court and report the situation. The emperor will surely comfort you when the governor is killed. The eldest son is a descendant of a loyal minister, and the emperor will definitely not treat you badly."

After being reminded by General Zuo, Xiao Ziqi came to his senses. Although he couldn't get the governor's seat, based on Xiao Tianrui's military exploits over the years, it was more than enough to make him a marquis.

Anyway, he doesn't like leading troops to fight, and he doesn't have to do anything while receiving the imperial salary. This is what Xiao Ziqi wants.

So he nodded again and again: "General Zuo Shen is right, it is these lowly slaves who want to kill their masters, which caused today's disaster."

The two worked hand in hand and poured dirty water on innocent people.

"Then what should these servants do?" Xiao Ziqi asked.

Zuo Shenjiang sneered: "Leave a few poisonous mutes to act as scapegoats, and the others are of course silenced."

Feng Wuxie and Xiao Zhengqi crawled out of the dark river, only to realize that they had just left the courtyard of the Governor's Mansion.

I wanted to find Jun Yeli and the others, but I heard crying and shouting in the courtyard.

Feng Wuxie's heart froze, his footsteps stopped, and he saw that they were surrounded by a group of people.

Seeing that these soldiers were all wearing the clothes of the Jiangnan Navy, Feng Wuxie knew that today's news had been spread to the barracks.

It's just that I didn't expect the speed to be so fast. It has to be said that Xiao Tianrui's soldiers are still very good.

Xiao Zhengqi kept Feng Wuxie behind him calmly, and said to those people, "I am Xiao Zhengqi."

As soon as their identities were revealed, those soldiers looked at each other in blank dismay, and one of them who looked like the leader stepped forward and said to Xiao Zhengqi.

"It turned out to be the second son, please return to the mansion quickly."

After speaking, he stepped aside and made a gesture of please.

There were so many people on the other side, so Feng Wuxie had no choice but to follow Xiao Zhengqi back to the Governor's Mansion, and as soon as he entered the mansion, the door closed with a bang.

Xiao Ziqi looked at Feng Wuxie with a gloomy expression: "Unexpectedly, after a long circle, you finally fell into my hands."

Feng Wuxie knew at a glance that Xiao Ziqi and that Zuo Shen general were in collusion, and they used her as a scapegoat.

"Oh? Then you have to have that ability too." Xiao Zhengqi was a thorn in Xiao Ziqi's side, if he was left behind, he would definitely be killed.

But if Xiao Zhengqi was allowed to escape by himself, Feng Wuxie couldn't bear it, let alone there were many innocent people.

Xiao Ziqi smiled coldly: "How dare you speak hard when you are about to die."

With a wave of his hand, countless cold arrows appeared all around immediately, facing Feng Wuxie, Xiao Zhengqi and the bound maids and servants in the field.

Feng Wuxie held the black iron dagger in his hand, and was about to fight Xiao Ziqi and the others. At this moment, two figures quietly landed behind Xiao Ziqi.

The cold dagger touched Xiao Ziqi's lower back, and he turned his head suddenly in shock, and saw the man standing behind him: "You?"

"It's me, I advise Mr. Xiao not to move around, or my hand will shake..." Bai Xiao pushed the dagger in his hand a few more points, and Xiao Ziqi shouted in fright: "Don't, don't, you want to I can give you anything you want."

Du Chun raised his chin and said, "Stop talking nonsense, why don't you tell these people to stop?"
