Zhang Liu and others put aside their growing doubts about the old lady and walked up to the rebel.

Half of the rebel's face had been swollen from the blow, which showed the power of the old lady's palm.

Interrogating people is usually done by the Lan family. Zhang Liu has never learned it, and Xiao Zhen and the rest of the Imperial Forest Army have never interrogated people. The simplest and crudest way is to beat them into submission.

So when the rebels gritted their teeth and refused to speak out, the only thing Zhang Liu could think of was to threaten him with death.

The rebel smiled coldly: "It's just death. There's nothing to be afraid of."

Xiao Zhen and others did not expect to be so stubborn.

Looking at the helpless people, the old lady sighed in her heart. In her world, Xiao Zhen and Zhang Liu were tested on the battlefield at this time. They had learned about life and death early and had seen through life and death. For judging people,

If you have your own way, how could you be so helpless like now?

"Since you can't find out anything, let's kill him."

The old lady said calmly: "It's just a waste of time to ask any more questions."

The rebel looked fiercely at the old lady.

"Kill this one and catch another one.

If we don't tell, no matter how hard we catch him, someone will tell us what we want to know."

The old lady looked at the person in front of her with a smile, "Actually, we don't need to know what is going on in Beijing. We will naturally know it when the city is destroyed."

"That's what the old lady said."

Zhang Liu drew the sword from his waist and stabbed the rebel directly.

The rebel's eyes widened, and fear gradually appeared in his eyes, and he still gritted his teeth. He looked like a true hero. However, the sword in Zhang Liu's hand did not strike down, and was blocked by the old lady.

"What's the point of killing people like this?"

The old lady said with a smile.

Everyone was puzzled.

The old lady continued: "Let him go, he won't be able to survive if he goes back anyway, and he is the only one who survives when so many people come out, won't his owner be suspicious of him?

He won't live an hour."

When the rebel heard this, he said excitedly: "Impossible, my master is not that kind of person."

"He's not that kind of person, but he can't afford to lose this battle. What's the point of having someone he already doubts next to him?

It would be easier to kill him than to kill him."

The old lady said calmly.

"good."

When the old lady stopped Zhang Liu from killing this man, Xiao Zhen had already guessed that the old lady wanted to break the rebel's willpower first, so he said: "The third prince and the fifth prince have been preparing secretly for a long time, and we will never allow any omissions in this."

"How do you know they are the third prince and the fifth prince?"

As soon as the rebel said these words, he felt shocked that he had been deceived.

Xiao Zhen raised his eyebrows: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has known for a long time that King Rui's military talisman was given to the third and fifth princes, but he did not expect that they would turn against him today.

Aren’t you leaving yet?”

"Stop talking nonsense to him, let's catch up to His Highness the Crown Prince."

Zhang Liu said to everyone.

Looking at the people who had really left, the rebel struggled and said, "I will die when I enter the city. Will I not die when I leave the city?"

"When two armies fight, casualties are inevitable. Whether you live or die depends on your ability.

If we don't kill you, we are being kind to you. If you are grateful, tell us what happened in the city. If you don't want to tell us, you can leave now."

The old lady smiled at the struggle in the soldier's eyes.

Finally, the soldier gritted his teeth and turned away without saying anything.

"Old lady, why did you sit down?"

Zhang Liu saw that the old lady did not leave, but chose a clean place to sit down.

Xiao Zhen grinned: "The old lady must be waiting for that soldier to come back."

Somehow she just knew what the old lady was thinking.

"The soldier will really come back?"

Zhang Liu didn't believe it.

The rest of the imperial guards also looked doubtful.

The old lady nodded: "I will return within the time of a stick of incense."

"How can you be so sure?"

The old lady laughed and turned to tell Zhang Liu: "You don't believe me even if I say it, so you might as well wait, it only takes a little time."

In that world, she had cut off the heads of the third and fifth princes, so she naturally understood them.

Suspicious, everyone waited quietly, and sure enough, after a while, they saw the leaving rebels running desperately into the forest. When they saw Xiao Zhen and the others were still there, they were stunned for a moment, and subconsciously opened their mouths to call for help: "Help me.

"

At this time, an arrow quickly shot into the forest. Seeing that the rebel was about to die under the arrow, the old lady quickly shot out the stone she was playing with and knocked down the arrow. Xiao Zhen and Zhang Liu hurried to help the fallen soldier.

Rebels on the ground.

Several men dressed in black and holding bows ran into the woods. When they saw the rebels being rescued, they looked at each other and left quickly.

The rebels who came back naturally told all the truth they knew.

Except for the old lady who looked calm, Zhang Liu, Xiao Zhen and the imperial guards all looked bad. What they didn't expect was that the man behind this coup was actually the emperor, who wanted to depose His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

“It’s incredible.

So, the third prince and the fifth prince who are under house arrest in the other palace are pretended by others, and the real ones have been released by the emperor long ago?"

Zhang Liu did not expect that this was actually the case.

"Father and son killing each other?

Your Highness has always been filial, how can the Emperor bear this?"

Xiao Zhen murmured.

The old lady sighed softly and looked at the sky. As it came and went, the sky was already dark, and it would be dawn in two hours.

"What should we do?"

One of the imperial guards was worried: "If this is really what the emperor means, then His Royal Highness is in danger."

"It's time for His Highness to ascend the throne."

Facing these anxious faces, the old lady always had a faint smile on her face: "If I expected it right, he should have been fully prepared."

After hearing what the old lady said, Xiao Zhen found that he actually believed her.

"Okay, you go find His Highness, it's time for me to leave."

The old lady said calmly.

"Where are you going?"

Xiao Zhen and Zhang Liu said in unison.

"I want to see someone."

The old lady walked up to Xiao Zhen, touched her head lovingly, took her right hand and spread her palm.

Xiao Zhen looked at her puzzled.

The old lady also spread her palms.

Xiao Zhen found that his palm prints were exactly the same as the old lady's, except that she didn't have the top line.

"Xiao Zhen, the lines on your palms are very strange."

Zhang Liu looked over and touched her arm: "It seems like someone has forcibly erased this line.

Hey, how come these calluses in your palm are in the same position as the calluses on the old lady’s palm?”

Xiao Zhen looked at her palms in confusion. She remembered that she had these lines when she was a child. They were there two years ago. Why did they suddenly disappear?

When Zhang Liu talked about cocoons, Xiao Zhen looked at the old lady's palm again, and it was really the same. When he looked up, he saw the old lady looking at his palm prints in a daze.

"What's the matter, old lady?"

Xiao Zhen asked.

"Nothing, I'm leaving."

After the old lady finished speaking, she turned around and walked out of the forest.

The cool forest breeze blows over your face, making you feel refreshed.
