He stepped on the cold river, like a cold wet shadow, and in the blink of an eye, he reached the door of the stone room. Ta Vo Cuu raised his hand and waved the silver thread. Silver silk wrapped around the pharmacist's wrist. Pharmacists do not avoid it. He let the silver thread tighten on his skin, then forcibly pulled it forward. The wound on Ta Vo Cuu's shoulder cracked, and his whole body staggered. I offered my hand to help. That person turned around and pushed me behind the black wooden coffin. “Don't go out.” The pharmacist tilted his head. He looked at Ta Vo Cuu and suddenly opened his mouth. "Painful." That voice was also Ta Vo Cuu's. Just emptier, more hoarse. My whole body is numb. Ta Vo Cuu's face turned white in an instant. The Emperor seemed very pleased. “He remembers your pain.” "The punishments you suffered that year, he also suffered." "When you gave birth to him, how much blood you bled, he also bled." The murderous intent in Ta Vo Cuu's eyes finally could not be suppressed. The man waved his sleeve, and three streams of silver light rushed straight to the emperor's throat. The group of people in black clothes and yellow masks advanced simultaneously, blocking each other. The pharmacist took the opportunity to rush forward. I saw a blue-black scale pattern growing on his palm. That hand did not come to capture Ta Vo Cuu. But come and arrest me. I hugged the red yellow card tightly and ordered it to retreat. But his back collided with the black wooden coffin. The white prince's uniform in the coffin was swept up by the wind, revealing half of a broken sword underneath. The old red string wrapped around the hilt of the sword suddenly became hot. My heart jumped, I raised my hand to hold the hilt of the sword. At that moment, the Fairy Prince in the cold river suddenly raised his head. “A Dien, let go!” It's late. The sword vibrated. The red gold token in my palm is also hot. The two objects seemed to be pulled together by the same force. The pharmacist's gray-blue eyes suddenly turned towards me. He no longer heard the emperor's bell, but instead walked towards me step by step. Ta Vo Cuu rushed to stop him. The pharmacist stopped in front of him, a tear of blood rolling from his blue-gray eyes. He looked at Ta Vo Cuu, a broken sentence came out of his throat. “Your highness.” “I hurt.” 16 That painful sentence made Ta Vo Cuu's whole body stiffen in place. The pharmacist wears that person's face and speaks with that person's voice. But that lady's voice seemed to crawl out from the bloody night of the Eastern Palace twelve years ago, carrying with it the cries of countless souls. I saw the bottom of Ta Vo Cuu's eyes crack in an instant. The emperor took advantage of that moment to shake the red and yellow bell. The d.c.'s gray-blue eyes suddenly went blank. His five fingers curled into claws, directly grabbing Ta Vo Cuu's chest. The fairy prince in the cold river shouted angrily. “Wu Cuu!” Ta Vo Cuu leaned forward to avoid it, but the druggist's fingertips still scratched his chest. Those wounds did not bleed immediately. On the contrary, a blue-black layer emerges. If Uncle Qin were here, he would definitely say it was poison. But Uncle Tan is not here. My father is not here either. In the stone room there were only me, Ta Vo Cuu, Crown Prince Tien locked in iron chains, along with a crazy emperor and an even crazier Queen Mother. I tightened my grip on the sword, my palm was torn by the hilt. Blood seeped out and stuck to the old red wire. The sword suddenly vibrated more intensely. The iron chain in the cold river also made a loud noise. Crown Prince Tien looked at me, his eyes suddenly changed. “That is my sword.” “It receives blood.” I was stunned. The Emperor laughed again. “So that's it.” "I searched for twelve years but couldn't find a way to open the true dragon eyes, but I didn't expect it to be in its hands." He raised his hand. People in black with yellow masks all pressed towards me. Ta Vo Cuu wanted to come back to protect me, but was tightly wrapped by the drug. The Queen Mother also reacted, the green light suddenly shot up. “Whose blood does it belong to?” White bones and medicinal people rushed towards me. Outside the stone room suddenly came a loud shout. “Who dares to touch her!” The cracked cliff above was forcibly broken by someone from outside. Rubble rolled down. Tham Hac Tranh, covered in blood, jumped down. In his hand he held a long sword snatched from the black guard. The blade was chipped, but he still swung it with the spirit of opening the mountain. The first slash after landing on the ground knocked down the skeleton rushing towards us. Follow ph

Behind is Uncle Thuong. Next is Co Chieu. The old armor on Co Chieu's body was full of cracks, but his blue-gray eyes still had a bit of sanity. He knelt on one knee as he landed, blocking the door of the stone chamber. “The general is late.” Ta Vo Cuu saw him, his eyes turned red in the blink of an eye. But my father doesn't have time to talk. He grabbed the back of my shirt and carried me behind his back. “Tham A Dien, your courage is very big, isn't it?” "Tell me to run into the secret passage, not to tell me to dig up my ancestors' graves." My nose was stinging, I almost cried. "Father." He did not turn around. “Don't call, save your strength to run.” The smile on the emperor's face finally faded. "General Shen, the Tran Bac army has been blocked outside the palace. How many people can you bring in?" My father laughed coldly. “Not much.” “Enough to cut you.” The Emperor raised his hand. In the cold river, more medicinal people stood up. Some of them were wearing old armor from the Tran Bac Army. My father's expression immediately sank to the bottom.
