Ferocious Princess - C376 Too many mysteries

“It really does resemble the demeanor of Old General Zhuo back then!” That person laughed, and that laughter came out from his throat unabashedly. He looked at Zhuo Lei with sincerity.

Zhuo Lei was startled, and then smiled without saying a word.

The man was not surprised by Zhuo Lei’s reaction, and continued: “Are you sure you can understand that thing?” The black-clothed man said this with complete confidence, as if he was very sure that his opponent didn’t understand.

“Which one are you talking about?” Zhuo Lei was worried that the other party was trying to trick him, so he frowned, his eyes looking at the other party with a sharp gaze.

The black clothed man moved in a flash, he was already by Zhuo Lei’s side, trying to dodge the thing in Zhuo Lei’s hands.

Although the black clothed man did not snatch his things in the beginning, that did not mean that he would not continue to attack. Thinking this, Zhuo Lei turned his body to the side and pushed back a few steps, dodging the other party’s attack.

“Do you really have no doubts?” The black-clothed man raised his eyebrow, and smiled at the object in Zhuo Lei’s right hand.

Only now did Zhuo Lei finally react, this thing was something he had accidentally acquired, the person actually knew, although Zhuo Lei tried his best to act as though he did not care, but obviously, he knew that the other party was talking about this thing, and the content, other than his own training, he did not understand anything else.

Seeing Zhuo Lei’s expression that was hidden deep within, the black clothed man sneered: “Since there’s no use in keeping it, why not give it to someone who can understand it? Don’t waste it, and cause a group of people to suffer!”

“A person who can understand? “Who are you talking about?” It was obvious that Zhuo Lei was moved. Although he did not know why he could change his direction so quickly, Zhuo Lei felt that what he said was right, and that was that he could almost not understand it. Other than the part of the skill, it was all because of the map inside.

“In your eyes, who is the most capable?” The man said as he raised the corner of his mouth and looked Zhuo Lei in the eye.

In that moment, Fei Yan’s face appeared in Zhuo Lei’s mind, but was the other party talking about Fei Yan? Furthermore, everyone seemed to think that it was His Majesty Shangguan Minghao.

“What makes you think that the person I think is the most capable can understand it?” Zhuo Lei still did not understand, he felt that this person was just too mysterious, she could not understand a single word, and did not seem to understand anything. Furthermore, this person had purposely misled him, if not, why would he help me like this?

She looked at Zhuo Lei and snorted, “Don’t look at me like that, don’t think that I’m lying to you, but don’t think that I’m helping you. I’m just completing my mission, or else, you youngsters, I won’t care, I won’t even bother to interact with you people!” With that, the man stood up and took one last look at the item in Zhuo Lei’s hand. With a flash, she disappeared into the night.

After he left, there was nothing left, Zhuo Lei suddenly felt lost, as though everything had gone from a deep place to a hope, to another place.

Zhuo Lei took out the thing once again, his mind was still a little muddled. The words inside were not from this era, but he had investigated the history of this world before, and there were no records of these words. It was as if the thing had appeared out of thin air, but why would it appear in this era?

Who was that most powerful person? Whether it was Fei Yan or Shangguan Minghao, he should not give it to him. If it was, then it would naturally be for the best.

“Who?” It seemed like there were a lot of people coming here tonight. Zhuo Lei kept his things and chased after him. This man was clearly not as powerful as the previous one, and Zhuo Lei was very clear when that man came in.

Although he might not be able to catch them, if he could, Zhuo Lei would be able to determine which direction that person was heading towards. Then, if he were to go there later, maybe he would be able to get some information that was different, after all, although the capital was huge, Zhuo Lei did not have any enmity with many people, so naturally, he could think of those Masters the most.

“Master!”

After a few minutes passed, Zhuo Lei finally got back his subordinates. It seemed like his subordinates were not relaxed at all.

“How is it?” Zhuo Lei did not raise his head, but he knew that if his subordinates were to return like this, they should have received some kind of news.

“The other party has entered Shangguan Minghao’s direction, so it’s difficult to differentiate the specific location, and that person seems to know that someone is following him, and is trying his best to throw us off!” It was a pity that the person who reported the information had said so, and his tone had turned sour.

Zhuo Lei nodded his head. He had entered the palace before, and as a person who was familiar with the palace, he would naturally find it difficult.

“All of you can leave first!” Zhuo Lei frowned. He roughly understood the situation, and did not expect Shangguan Minghao to have this kind of ability. Zhuo Lei did not think that it would be the empress dowager, as for the reason, it seemed that he had an intuition, as for whether it was true or not, he could only go and verify it.

Thinking to this point, Zhuo Lei looked at his subordinates who had already disappeared. Changing into black clothes, he flew towards the direction of the Imperial Palace under the cover of the hazy night.

However, he didn’t expect that someone would lead him there. This made him feel extremely surprised.

“Brat, you can only tell me if you can catch up with me. Otherwise, if you want to go in and search for something, I will also leave you with no trace!” That person smiled and then displayed her Qing Gong, preparing to leave.

Zhuo Lei was a little stuffy. Who was this person, was he trying to stall for time or was he really bringing him along to search for something?

His flying speed was definitely not something that an ordinary person could reach. Thinking about it here, Zhuo Lei changed his mind and followed that person, but he wondered where that person was going. Zhuo Lei thought it was strange, how could that person be in the direction of the Sky Prison. He remembered that there was only one National Lord Wei in the Sky Prison, what else could happen?

Just as Zhuo Lei was thinking about this, that person jumped and lightly slipped into the depths of the Sky Prison without any hindrance.

Zhuo Lei frowned, he had followed the black clothed man’s route and was surprised to discover that there was still a hidden place there. Moreover, there was a person locked inside, this was too strange.

“What did you bring me here for?” Zhuo Lei saw that the black-clothed man was looking at the person on the bed quietly with tears in his eyes. Zhuo Lei looked at the person’s face on the bed, but because the person’s face was too skinny, Zhuo Lei could not tell who it was.

“Did you ask me to come here?” Seeing that there were no movements from the man, Zhuo Lei asked again.

The man raised his head to look at Zhuo Lei, placed his finger on his lips and whispered “Shh”, then continued to wipe his forehead with his handkerchief.

Could it be that his original plan was to stall for time? When he thought of this, Zhuo Lei became a little anxious, and turned around to leave, but that person actually did not have any intention of stopping him.

“You’re here …” Although a voice was not loud, it still entered Zhuo Lei’s sensitive ears.

Zhuo Lei turned around, but didn’t see any other people, causing his heart to become even more suspicious.

“Yes, I’m here. You’ve suffered!”

Only then did Zhuo Lei hear the voice coming from the opposite wall.

He had just said, “You’re here.” When Zhuo Lei thought back to it, he felt that the person was a little familiar. The next woman’s voice, from the sound of her voice, seemed to be that of a woman’s age.

What’s next door? Zhuo Lei thought that this was probably the man’s goal. He moved closer from the inside and placed his ear against the wall.

“You shouldn’t have come here!” The man spoke once again, with a hint of vicissitudes in his tone. It was as if not only was he not happy with the arrival of the woman, but he also felt a sense of heaviness.

The woman sighed heavily, “Rest assured, I have already taken care of the situation outside. I will rescue you out!”

“Hmph, the Emperor won’t kill me. At the very least, from the looks of the current situation, he definitely won’t, and you shouldn’t do anything to alert the enemy. Don’t you know that Fei Yan is extremely shrewd? The man’s voice didn’t sound as dejected as before, but it was actually filled with anger, as though she was clenching her teeth at Fei Yan.

Through the man’s words, Zhuo Lei finally recognized who he was. The corners of his mouth curled up into a strange smile.

Who was that woman? Zhuo Lei thought about it and wanted to continue listening.

“I naturally know that it’s all that woman, always doing bad things, even the Concubine Ping was captured, that was cultivated by me with great difficulty, it’s really bad luck, one day, I will let her know today’s pain, and let her know how to die the most terrifying of deaths!” The woman’s words were becoming more and more malicious.

If it wasn’t for the fact that Zhuo Lei couldn’t act rashly right now, he would have died a miserable death at first. There were too many mysteries now, so who exactly was this woman?

That’s good, don’t forget about our plan, otherwise I wouldn’t have spent so much effort on it. At the time when we rebelled, I wasn’t very confident, although I had held some hope for the people from Zhuo Family, but that old man from Old General Zhuo, no matter what, did not care at all. He must have definitely warned those rascals from Zhuo Mansion earlier, and if not for Zhuo Lei’s appearance, Jiang Shan would have already been mine.

After he finished speaking, the man didn’t have the same feeling of being a prisoner. It was as if he felt that one day he would have a comeback.

The more Zhuo Lei listened, the tighter his grip. Fortunately, he had learned how to remain calm when he was with Fei Yan.

“Brother Xiong, I feel that we don’t need children, we can do the same. I will definitely think of a way to save you!”

When Zhuo Lei heard the woman’s words, he clearly felt that there was something he was hesitating about, as if he was concealing something.

As expected, the National Lord Wei who still understood her immediately became somewhat angry, “Don’t tell me that the child is no longer here, you … “Cough, cough, cough.” National Lord Wei was obviously very excited, he had only said a few words, and he was coughing profusely.

“Even without that child, I can still save you!” The woman sounded wronged.

“Bullshit, what do you know, that kid!” National Lord Wei was originally very excited, but suddenly he shushed her, “You’re still not leaving, he’s here!” After he finished speaking, Zhuo Lei could only hear the rustling sounds of National Lord Wei returning to the corner of the wall, followed by the sound of a woman ascending the stairs, but he didn’t feel the slightest bit of doubt.

Zhuo Lei was curious and wanted to follow along, but who would have thought that the person who was silent this entire time would open his mouth.

“It’s useless for you to follow him. I’m afraid that before he could even follow us, he would have been captured by the people outside who were preparing to enter the Sky Prison. They would have taken you as an assassin!” The person said this with a look of disdain.
