Chapter 268 It's Fate

Grand Minister Chai Hong!

Wu Mei's eyes changed.

How could Chai Hong, who always moves around unpredictably, happen to be in the royal forbidden area today and successfully block her.

Someone leaked the secret, this was the first thought that came to Wu Mei's mind.

But this was not the time to worry about these things.

Swallowing the blood that welled up in her throat, Wu Mei put on a full-hearted attitude and looked at Chai Hong intently.

"Using my troops and pointing the spearheads of their weapons at me, could it be that Old Chai wants to rebel!"

"Your Majesty is too kind."

Chai Hong bowed slightly.

"I just saw that Your Majesty was held hostage by the bad guys, and I had no choice but to do this."

What a last resort!

Wu Mei was silent for a long time.

"Who told you that I would come here?"

Hearing this, Chai Hong raised his gray eyes and looked at Wu Mei in the sky.

"Your Majesty, do you have to know the truth today?"

"I have watched you grow up since you were born. How can I harm you?"

The truth again. As expected, he knew the truth.

Wu Mei gritted her teeth.

Everyone knew the so-called truth, but only she, the empress, was kept in the dark.

Seeing Wu Mei's attitude, Chai Hong bowed lightly.

"I know."

Then he looked at Ling Yaning.

Under Chai Hong's gaze, Ling Yaning's body trembled, and then she opened her mouth helplessly and took out a strange round bead from her teeth on the side.

In Chai Hong's hand, a miniature universal instrument was firmly pointing to the position of the round bead in Ling Yaning's hand.

"So, since I left the palace, I have never escaped your surveillance?"

Wu Mei's hands were trembling slightly, and she was angry, and another mouthful of blood spurted out.

"Your Majesty!"

This time, Ling Yaning wanted to step forward to help, but Wu Mei waved her hand away.

Seeing this scene, Chai Hong denied the meaning of Wu Mei's words.

"In fact, the only person who knows the whereabouts of your majesty is this old minister."

"In addition, your majesty's substitute was also found by this old minister for your majesty."

Not only the imperial doctors and guards, but also the substitutes were calculated by the three ministers in the palace?

Wu Mei has never felt so helpless.

Smiled sadly, "Then it must be a good trick of Mr. Chai to let me meet the Gao family?"

"The purpose is to test whether I doubt the three ministers in the palace, so as to eliminate my threat."

"Your majesty, Mr. Chai is not such a person." Ling Yaning wanted to defend Chai Hong, but was glared back by Wu Mei with a sharp look.

Chai Hong still did not admit this question.

"In fact, the Gao family was an accident."

Whether in the past or now, Chai Hong has never thought of controlling Wu Mei's contact with Gao Qiang. He didn't even know that there was a Gao family in Zhaohuang City.

After a pause, Chai Hong continued, "I don't mind whether your majesty knows the truth."

"Because what I care about is your majesty's safety and the country of Dawu."

Pointing to the location of the Demon Suppression Tower, Chai Hong told the truth word by word.

Just as Gao Qiang saw the information.

The predecessor of the Demon Suppression Tower was the Panlong Seal of the Dragon Clan's Yunchen Empire.

After the destruction of the Yunchen Empire, most of the Panlong Seal was ground into fine sand and integrated into the bricks used to build the Demon Suppression Tower.

The founding day of the Dawu Empire was the time when the Demon Suppression Tower was built.

From that day on, there were no more demons in this world, only humans and Dawu enjoyed this world.

The imperial power is shining, the mountains and seas are united, and the sun and the moon never set.

"But if the Demon Suppression Tower wants to suppress demons, it will have to pay a price."

"The price is human life?" Wu Mei asked in a deep voice.

"No."

Chai Hong shook his head, and his gray eyes seemed to look at Wu Mei with some pity.

"It's your life."

"The ancestors of the Dawu royal family once married the royal family of the Yunchen Empire and gave birth to offspring.

And in each generation of the Dawu royal family, only one person can be recognized and gain the power to use the Panlong Great Seal."

"That person is you!"

Just like what Gao Qiang tried before in the Gao family, this jade seal can only be used by Wu Mei, and others cannot use it even if they are willing to spend their entire lives.

"So should I die?"

Wu Mei asked faintly.

Chai Hong shook his head and nodded.

"The greater the power, the greater the responsibility. Once something happens to the Demon Suppression Tower, the mountains and rivers of Dawu will no longer exist, and the people will also be devastated."

The meaning of the words is that this is the fate of the Dawu royal family.

Wu Mei smiled sadly.

No wonder Ling Yaning asked herself, is the world more important or herself more important.

She has always known it.

But, if she told herself the truth at the beginning, would she destroy Dawu's country for this?

But what Wu Mei didn't expect was that

Gao Qiang, who had been watching the show for a long time, would refute it immediately at this moment.

"I think you are the first ones who want to destroy the things in the Demon Suppression Tower after they are released!"

After listening for so long, he probably heard what was locked in the Demon Suppression Tower.

It is likely that it is the lords who entered the war game a hundred years ago.

After releasing those lords, Dawu may indeed fall into turmoil and people will suffer.

But this is under the premise that the Wuji League firmly controls the Dawu Dynasty.

There is no irreconcilable contradiction between the lords and the natives of the war game.

If the Dawu Dynasty cuts off its relationship with the Wuji League.

Then, as the only empire in the world, those so-called demons might also covet the ministerial bonus.

So they are willing to join the Dawu's ministerial system to gain the power to fight against the Wuji League.

Wu Mei didn't understand what Gao Qiang meant, what you and us.

But she quickly realized that Gao Qiang, the head of the Gao family, seemed to know something.

Then she looked at Gao Qiang with pleading eyes, as if she wanted to hear an answer different from Chai Hong's from Gao Qiang.

Gao Qiang shrugged.

"I can only say that after releasing the existence in the demon-suppressing tower, it is indeed possible that the people of Dawu will suffer."

Seeing Wu Mei's eyes dimmed a little, Gao Qiang continued.

"But there is also a 50% chance that it won't happen. Maybe their enemies are just the three officials in the palace?"

Hearing this, Wu Mei's eyes lit up again.

50% chance?

Obviously Wu Mei has made a decision.

"If that's the case, I'd like to grant you the position of the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers to choose from!"

"I won't be your subordinate."

Gao Qiang shook his head and rejected Wu Mei's proposal.

But his eyes still looked at the Demon Suppression Tower.

"I'm just interested in making things difficult for some people."

You have to look at the target when holding a grudge.

The Wuji League has been holding a grudge until now. If Gao Qiang is not dragged into this war game, it would be unfair to him if he doesn't destroy the other party's century-old foundation.

In a few words, Gao Qiang and Wu Mei seemed to have reached a consensus.

And below, Chai Hong sighed.

"Since your majesty can't understand the good intentions of this old minister, then this old minister can only offend you!"

As soon as Chai Hong finished speaking, the bronze warrior had raised the bow in his hand and pointed it at Tianzhou.
