Chapter 3 — Au Long Was Switched

The craftsman walked up holding the iron bar. Each green brick was pried out, the bronze lock under the base of the pillar was broken, and talismans rolled all over the ground. Everyone stared at the dark cave entrance. Inside were only the old Tran Long amulet, a piece of rotten bamboo and two pieces of broken egg shells. Without me. When Thanh La was escorted from the street, she just saw this result. Her originally pale face immediately regained vitality. She repeatedly kowtowed, her forehead was quickly torn. "Your Highness, you have seen it, really nothing." "The slave was searched, had his hands cut, had a knife held to his throat, the slave all accepted." "But even the Tran Quoc Long Pillar has been removed, how else do you want the slave to prove his innocence?" The old mama cried while kneeling and crawled forward. "Your Highness, we cannot continue the investigation." "If we continue, that is. Destroying the national document will cause the Queen Mother to be punished." The servants in the palace all bowed their heads, but still could not stop the petty gossip. "Miss Thanh La is truly unjust." "The child is clearly being cared for in the palace, but His Highness refuses to believe it." "No matter how much the seven families protect the younger sister, they cannot even destroy the Tran Quoc Dragon Pillar." The sound of carriages outside drowned out the gossip. The Queen Mother has arrived. The National Teacher followed behind her. The army lined up in two rows, all placing their hands on the hilts of their swords. The Queen Mother's eyes fell on the base pillar that had been pried open, her face extremely unsightly. "Eldest princess, just because of a few false sounds, do you dare to destroy the foundation of the country?" The national teacher raised his whisk. "The emperor pillar has been opened, where is the dragon?" "If His Highness still stubbornly refuses to wake up, it means he has been bewitched by demons and evil, intending to cause chaos in the country." The Imperial Army took a step forward, surrounding the seven brothers in the middle. Thanh La crawled to the Queen Mother's feet. "The Queen Mother, Your Highness just loves your children too much, please don't punish Your Highness too harshly." "If there must be someone to bear the blame, this servant is willing to take the punishment for Your Highness." Truly the appearance of a loyal servant. I was in the empty classroom and heard every word clearly. But the Tran Long talisman sealed his mouth and nose, burning the scales on his back. I can't even make the dragon's roar, I can only use the tip of my tail to hit the thin wall next to me. Cop. The sound was as light as a small stone falling into a well. The street suddenly fell silent. We continue to hit one more time. Cop. The mother suddenly raised her head. Not the base. It is a hollow layer inside the cylinder body. The National Teacher's face changed. The Queen Mother shouted sternly: "Whoever dares to continue to touch the dragon pillar will be punished for treason!" Mother snatched the horse beheading knife next to Big Brother. The person who had just given birth had her arms shaking violently. But when the blade slashed down, he did not hesitate. The green copper layer cracked. The Tran Long talisman burned into black smoke, and a gap erupted in the middle of the pillar's body. The torn pieces of bamboo basket rolled out first. Next is a metal plate engraved with the pattern of the Princess's palace. In the end, I was wrapped tightly by the Tran Long charm, fell out of the hollow layer, and fell onto the cold brick floor of the hallway. The yellow scales on people are so dark that it is almost impossible to see the original color. The tail is burned black. His back was full of blood stains from the burning Tran Long talisman. No one dared to speak up. Mother rushed in front of me. His hand stopped in mid-air, shaking so much that he didn't dare touch me. I opened my eyes, releasing the last bit of dragon power. 【Mother.】 Golden light exploded from her body, illuminating the entire street. In the distance in Tran Long Cac, the fake black snake suddenly writhed in pain, the fake golden light on its body disintegrating inch by inch. Thanh La fell limply to the ground. She stared at the gold card, her lips trembling so much that she couldn't make a sound. Mother finally hugged me. Palm

very warm person. The moment the person's bloodline aura surrounded me, the pain caused by the Tran Long amulet slightly subsided. I pressed my head against his palm. 【Mother, it hurts.】 As soon as those two words rang out, the seven brothers simultaneously looked towards my back. Tran Long's talisman mark is deeply embedded in his scales. The yellow scales burned to a burning black color. The tip of the tail still has broken bamboo slats attached. My claws are pitifully small, but have been sharpened by talisman nails until they bleed. That brother's knife left its sheath half an inch. Big brother held the hilt of the knife, but did not stop him, just signaled him to wait. Thanh La was pulled back to the middle from the road. She looked at the gold tokens, the torn bamboo basket, and the ashes of the Tran Long talisman on the ground, but still desperately shook her head. "It's not a slave." "The gold tokens have been lost for a long time. Anyone can take the bamboo basket. Paper charms can also be used to slander people." "Your Highness, this slave has been with you for sixteen years." "On the winter night, the servant guarded the furnace for you. When the assassins came, the slave used to hold the knife instead." "You can't just rely on these things to take the life of a slave." Truly knows how to recount old loves. She brought out every part of her past false loyalty to prevent sin. I smelled the Tran Long amulet in her sleeve pocket. It was not the old ash in the dragon pillar, but the new ash that had just been touched by someone.
