The steward of the palace of rebirth

Chapter 109 The Little Apprentice Exposed

He was threatened with a knife from the bed, and then he was carried all the way to a place where he could avoid the cold wind and then put him down. Wang Sitong was blindfolded from the beginning to the end, so he could not see the surrounding situation.

"The man has been arrested, and he must be released after dawn. Ask as soon as possible." The tone of the flat tone is that of the person who arrested Wang Sitong.

"Yeah." Another person responded.

Wang Sitong heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this conversation, knowing that he was still alive.But he didn't know what these people wanted to ask when they arrested him. Maybe after knowing it, he could guess the reason why the emperor suddenly asked him to guard the imperial mausoleum.

"Director Wang, a little cooperation will allow you to go back earlier." Then the man walked up to Wang Sitong and knelt down and said.

"What do you want to ask?" Wang Sitong couldn't see, so he could only guess what this person was doing based on his feeling.

"Your dream, you told the emperor that you had a prophetic dream, dreaming that the Jade Buddha was wrapped in a poisonous snake and thus detoxified the poison from the emperor's body. What's the matter with this dream?" the man asked.

Wang Sitong's heart skipped a beat, he thought he understood why the emperor sent him to guard the imperial tomb.But why is this person asking such a question?Want him to help 'foresee'?Or...Wang Sitong actually knew very clearly in his heart that he was not really gifted with supernatural powers, he just learned a lot, but he was not really supernatural.It's not that he didn't doubt that dream, but even he himself was nowhere to be found. Over time, he thought that he suddenly had this ability for real.

"As you said, I did suddenly dream at night that the Jade Buddha was wrapped in poisonous snakes." Wang Sitong was not sure whether the emperor asked him to guard the imperial mausoleum and gave these people a chance to tell them all, but after thinking about it, The emperor didn't give any instructions that day, and he didn't care whether he understood it. It seemed that he didn't care if he told the truth.

Wang Sitong collected himself and had an idea in his mind.

"Is it really your dream? You'd better not lie to me, because I can't help but want to hurt you." The man said.

A biting cold dagger stuck to the back of Wang Sitong's hand.

"If you're lying, I'll cut off your finger. Don't listen to the man just now who said you were going to let you go back, you have to put it back. Even if you kill you, no one will find out about me." The man said.

Wang Sitong shuddered, because he was even more frightened because he couldn't see, and suddenly there was a pain in his hand, the dagger cut through the back of his hand and slid down, pressing on his little finger. Any more force could literally cut off his fingers.

Wang Sitong cried out in pain, his body covered in cold sweat.

"Stop, I say!" Wang Sitong shouted.

The dagger stopped the downward pressure, "Speak."

Wang Sitong took a breath, and then described in detail what he dreamed that night.

Where Wang Sitong couldn't see, the man frowned more and more, and he could tell that Wang Sitong was telling the truth.

But how is this possible?Did Wang Sitong really suddenly have the ability to 'foresee'?

The Mausoleum Mansion was brightly lit in the dark, and neither Mu Changfeng nor Gu Zhengqing had fallen asleep yet.

Su Yao is almost in Qingshui Town, which is very close to the capital.Early tomorrow morning, Mu Changfeng and Gu Zhengqing will go out of the city to meet him.

"Go to bed first, you have to get up early and go out tomorrow." Mu Changfeng said to Gu Zhengqing.

Gu Zhengqing nodded, no longer staying up late with Mu Changfeng.

Mu Changfeng stayed up so late because he suddenly received news from the secret guard that Wang Sitong was missing.

The dark guard went out to look for someone, but he couldn't find him.

Mu Changfeng was wondering where Wang Sitong would be, whether he left quietly or was kidnapped.Mu Lingtian must have a purpose for putting Wang Sitong in the imperial mausoleum, so does he know what his plans are when Wang Sitong is gone?

"Let the dark guards be quiet when looking for someone, and don't disturb the shadow guards in the palace." Mu Changfeng ordered the dark guards.

The dark guard nodded and went out to help find someone.

At the darkest hour before dawn, Wang Sitong's hands were cut and blood flowed out. He was tortured to the brink of death, and he was in a mess. However, the kidnappers hadn't got the answer they wanted.

"Wang Sitong didn't lie." The interrogator left the hut and said to the people waiting outside.

The waiting person looked cold and harsh, glanced at the sky, and frowned.

"Boss." Suddenly someone came over.

Ah Er stared at the visitor: "What's the matter?"

"My lord asked the little one to tell you..." The man leaned over and whispered in Ah Er's ear, then handed him a box.

Ah Er took it, turned around and entered the house.

Wang Sitong felt that someone was coming in, and he was in a trance, unable to tell whether it was the person who was interrogating him just now or someone else.

Suddenly there was a new tingling pain on the back of his hand, Wang Sitong felt as if something had penetrated into the back of his hand, his face was terrified: "What did you use for me!"

"Gu." A word came out of the cold voice, and Wang Sitong froze all over.

"Didn't you say that as long as I tell the truth, you will let me go back!" Wang Sitong was afraid.

"I won't kill you, just help you recall some things." Ah Er said.

Just like verification, Wang Sitong soon felt a tingling in his head, and gradually seemed to be clearer.

"Now, let me ask about the events of that night. You have to explain everything clearly." Ah Er said.

"You ask." Wang Sitong just wanted to end the torture as soon as possible, even if he kept guarding the imperial tomb, he would admit it.

Ah Er quickly repeated the questions again, and Wang Sitong answered them one by one, until——

"Stop, what did your apprentice say?" Ah Er seemed to have grasped the key.

Wang Sitong repeated the words again: "He said, 'Since the Jade Buddha is wrapped in poisonous snakes, is it related to the poison.'"

After finishing speaking, Wang Sitong himself felt that something was weird.

"Did you think of this before he reminded you?" Ah Er asked.

Wang Sitong frowned and recalled, "I was in a mess at the time. I vaguely remembered seeing the Jade Buddha in the emperor's bedroom. I wondered if this dream had something to do with the emperor. That poisonous snake was too scary, but I didn't know it for a while. I didn’t simply think about getting poisoned.”

After finishing speaking, Wang Sitong was silent, he knew something was weird.

Ah Er finally smiled, "Director Wang, it seems that you are not an easy apprentice."

Wang Sitong was silent, he also understood that it was inappropriate, maybe he was being used.But after being locked up for one night, these people questioned him for one night, and he also sorted out some things.These people insisted on the matter of poisoning, and vowed to find out the reason why the poisoning was discovered. These people must be related to the person who poisoned the emperor!Maybe it's the one who poisoned the emperor!

Wang Sitong didn't dare to reveal anything, he now clearly understood why he was sent to guard the imperial tomb.The imperial mausoleum is remote, and it couldn't be easier for someone to attack him.The emperor himself did not believe in his dream at all.

Wang Sitong exhaled a foul breath in his heart, and when he figured it out, his heart became clear.Regardless of whether his disciples used him or not, they saved the emperor's life after all.Apprentice, apprentice, I really underestimate you, master.

"Headmaster Wang has worked hard, and I will send someone to send you back in a while. I think you'd better shut up about what happened tonight. Otherwise, it will be easy to kill you. Don't forget the Gu worm that got into your brain." Ah Two said coldly.

"I promise, I won't tell anyone." Wang Si said.His heart is clear, his every move in the imperial mausoleum must be under the supervision of the emperor, maybe the emperor agrees to know every word he said tonight.In any case, after this matter is over, he will retire and return home.Even if he was threatened, telling what happened that night would be disloyal to the emperor, and the emperor would not continue to tolerate him, not to mention that he still has a Gu worm in his mind that can be controlled by others at any time and can kill him.

Wang Sitong's heart was ashamed.

"Don't worry, Supervisor Wang, as long as you obediently follow what you say, the bugs in your brain will be taken out in the future." Ah Er continued.This is of course just consolation.

Wang Sitong was sent back.

He suddenly appeared on the avenue some distance away from the entrance of the imperial mausoleum. When Mu Changfeng's hidden guards knew the news, the person who brought Wang Sitong back had already left.

The dark guard frowned. Not only could they not go up to ask directly, but they had to watch from afar.

"Go back first." Xifeng's intuition was that this matter was weird, "Leave one person, and the rest will go home."

The hidden guards withdrew, and the guards of the imperial tomb found Wang Sitong and brought him back to the imperial tomb.

Xifeng took the people back to the mansion, and the sky had already begun to light up.

"How?" Seeing that all the hidden guards had returned, Mu Changfeng had doubts.

Xifeng came in and told him about Wang Sitong's return, "My lord, this subordinate feels that something is not right, and if they dare not let the hidden guards stay any longer, they order one of them to stay, and all the others come back."

Mu Changfeng pondered, and began to think about the possibility behind this incident, and frowned deeply after a long time.

"You are right." Mu Changfeng said.

Xifeng breathed a sigh of relief, but was worried when he saw Mu Changfeng's expression was wrong, "My lord, what happened?"

"During this period of time, all the hidden guards should be careful not to be spotted by any palace shadow guards. Stop non-essential activities and let them go back to the residence." Mu Changfeng said.

Xifeng heard the seriousness of the matter, "Yes!"

"Let's talk about other things, get ready now, and leave the city in an hour." Mu Changfeng said.

"Yes!" West Wind said.

"Go ask Donglai to come in." Mu Changfeng said.

Xifeng nodded, and quickly called Donglai over.

"Come from the east, find a way to sneak into the imperial tomb, and protect Wang Sitong's little apprentice Shi Ye." Mu Changfeng said.

Both Xifeng and Donglai tensed up, and Donglai said, "Yes!"

"My lord, has the stone leaf been exposed?" Xifeng asked worriedly.

"Don't be afraid of anything, go immediately." Mu Changfeng said.

Dong Lai didn't dare to delay, and went out quickly. It was not so easy to sneak into the imperial mausoleum, so he had to make preparations quickly.
