Chapter 1032 Encounter in a Dream 4
The First Madam screamed like a madwoman, demanding to find the murderer of her son. She was listless for several days and cried herself unconscious in bed. She was only able to get out of bed today. Before she could even go to find Danji Aruan, they came to her door on their own initiative.
"You vixen, come out here! Guards! Where have you all gone?"
The First Madam tried to rush into the City Lord's study, but was stopped by a maid. "Please calm down, First Madam. You cannot enter without the City Lord's permission."
"Get out of my way, all of you! My son is gone! I don't care about rules anymore! It's all that little bitch Danji Aruan's fault! She killed my son! Is she hiding inside? Are you all helping her? Danji Aruan's scheming is truly astounding! She was poisoned with the strongest aphrodisiac and still emerged unscathed! Which wild man did she sleep with? Baili Shang, come out here! Did you cure her of the aphrodisiac? You bastard's child! You're no better!" The First Madam cursed incoherently.
At this moment, the entire Baili family was drawn over.
Xie Shang said, "It's getting more and more chaotic."
Jiang Fenghua said, "The bigger the commotion, the better. Even if it doesn't cause a big scene, Danji Aruan and Baili Shang's reputations won't be any better. The First Madam won't let her off the hook."
She felt a round brass ring next to the bookshelf, and with a gentle twist, the bookshelf opened. "So there's something special inside. Let's go in and take a look."
Just then, the First Madam pushed aside the maid and rushed in, just in time to see the two of them. Everyone saw them hiding in the City Lord's study.
The First Madam roared, "What are you all doing hiding here so furtively? What do you want to do?"
Xie Shang pulled Jiang Fenghua and they slipped into the hidden door behind the bookcase. He deliberately didn't turn the mechanism to close the hidden door, because if the Queen's people were in Licheng, their arrival upon hearing the news would be a great help to them.
As soon as they entered the hidden door, several arrows were shot at them, but fortunately, they were quick enough to dodge them.
Jiang Fenghua said, "Be careful, there are traps and hidden weapons inside."
Xie Shang swiped a few pens from the study. He tossed them out and they didn't move. He said, "Watch your step and stay close to me."
Do you also know how to solve mechanisms?
"I learned some things at the Hidden Guard Camp. There was an elder who was a descendant of a famous family, and the Hidden Guard Camp invited him to serve the royal family," Xie Shang said.
Jiang Fenghua nodded. "The fact that Danjimai, Shigu, and the others can move freely in the underground palace means that there aren't many traps. We just need to be careful."
Xie Shang thought differently. "The mechanisms in the current underground palace have not been destroyed and are full of danger. Xichuan a thousand years later is different. It is probably because a landslide occurred and the mechanisms were destroyed. It seems that Lord Baili has put a lot of effort into building such an underground palace. The mechanisms and secret passages are all very sophisticated and cannot be accomplished casually."
As soon as they passed through the hidden door, arrows were shot out from behind. Fortunately, the two of them were quick. However, the First Madam was not so lucky. She followed closely behind and was shot in the arm by an arrow shot from the other side. She screamed and howled behind her and dared not continue to follow.
Soon, a group of men in black also set their sights on the Baili family. They moved even faster, bypassing the people outside the gate and climbing over the wall to get in.
On the other side, after the City Lord of Baili led Danjimai and the head of the Muqi family into the underground palace, he reminded them, "Follow my steps and don't take a wrong step, otherwise if you get hurt, I, the City Lord, will not guarantee your safety."
They never expected that such a luxurious underground palace had been built beneath the Baili family's territory. It seems that Lord Baili had long harbored ambitions to rule the world.
When the city lord led them into a secret chamber, where the ancestral tablets of the Baili family were enshrined, a transparent bottle shimmering with green light caught their attention. Danjimai asked urgently, "Is this the secret technique of the Ashina tribe? Can it really bring people back to life?"
The head of the Mu family also had a glint in his eyes. "How could the rumors be false? I heard that Ashina Xue has died countless times, but she has always been safe and sound. She must have eaten the thing in the bottle. What is this thing? And why does it have wings?"
Patriarch Mu Qi wanted to step forward to take it, but was coldly rebuked by City Lord Baili: "Don't move."
Mu Qi's family participated in the treasure hunt, but in the end, the city lord took it for himself. He felt terrible about it. They didn't even have a good look at it that day before the city lord hid it away.
At this moment, both of them had different thoughts: why did he get to monopolize it all?
Lord Baili was unwilling to use the money to save his own son. He planned to keep it for himself. He was old and frail, and it would be more meaningful to make him young again. Only with a healthy body could he have the resources to compete for the throne of Yinchuan Kingdom.
However, he dared not try it easily, so he secretly hid his youngest son's body in the underground palace and sealed it in an ice coffin.
He also planned to cultivate the Mu Qi family and the Danji family into his right-hand men, but little did he know that danger was about to strike, and the dream of becoming the King of Yinchuan was shattered.
Lord Baili said, "Of course, the three of us brothers should share in the moment of witnessing a miracle."
When they saw Baili Ayu's body lying in the underground palace, they were also startled. The head of the Mu family said, "Does the city lord want to resurrect young master Ayu?"
A hint of urgency flashed in Danji Mai's eyes, "City Lord, please begin quickly. It would be wonderful if Young Master Ayu could be brought back to life."
Meanwhile, Baili Chuan also secretly entered the underground palace. His father had left an escape route when he built the underground palace. He only found out by chance that such a large palace had been built under the Baili family's land. Later, he also found it strange that his father had stolen the corpse of his own son into the underground palace.
When he saw that Baili Ayu had really come back to life, he was also shocked. How could a dead person really come back to life?
The next moment, just as City Lord Baili was excited, Baili Ayu, as if he didn't recognize anyone, directly snapped City Lord Baili's neck, causing the city lord to die on the spot.
The head of the Mu family and Danji Mai were so frightened by what they saw that they cried out, "A ghost!"
However, the head of the Mu family was also terrified and ran around in a panic. He didn't see that Danji Mai had stolen the green bottle that the city lord of Baili had dropped on the ground.
When Jiang Fenghua and Xie Shang arrived, they saw Patriarch Mu Qi and Danji Mai running away. They stopped them and asked, "What happened?"
Patriarch Mu Qi's eyes were filled with terror, and he became delirious. "The city... the city lord is dead, and Young Master A Yu has been resurrected and turned into a ghost."
"Explain clearly who killed the city lord," Jiang Fenghua asked.
"It's Baili Ayu, he's alive!" Patriarch Mu Qi exclaimed. "Run!"
The head of the Mu family was so frightened that he turned and ran away.
Jiang Fenghua clearly remembered that Ashina Xue had told her that there was no secret technique to bring people back to life, and that A Yu was already dead, so how could he have become a ghost?
