Quick Transmigration Cannon Fodder's Record of Counterattacks Chapter 975: Actually, We Can Dig a Tunnel

Chapter 975: Actually, We Can Dig a Tunnel A filial son?

When Ning Shu heard about this, she almost burst out laughing. It was the middle of summer and he was leaving the corpse out for over twenty days. Even if ice was placed with the coffin, it still wouldn’t be able to slow down the speed at which the corpse rotted.

So the late emperor was quite pitiful as well. He ended up swept up in the hurricane generated by his three sons’ fighting. Not only did he die from being poisoned, after death, his son wouldn’t even allow him to enter the soil and rest in peace. He still had to face such torment.

Xuan Xiaotian didn’t dare to ascend to the throne before Shangguan Qingrou was found. How could he ascend to the throne while his empress wasn’t present? The inner palace would end up without an owner.

Ning Shu once again had a whole new level of respect for Xuan Hongyu’s ability to court death. As of now, Xuan Xiaotian probably wanted to skin Xuan Hongyu alive.

The part that she was most irritated about was that she hadn’t done anything, so why was there an arrest order out for her? Pei...

Shangguan Qingrou was eventually found, and she had been found before the late emperor’s funeral. Xuan Hongyu had swaggered into the city with Shangguan Qingrou. As he was entering the city, the guards at the city gates even had to salute him.

When Xuan Xiaotian got the news, he immediately went to rescue Shangguan Qingrou. He also imprisoned Xuan Hongyu in the palace, saying that he should observe mourning for the late emperor.

When Ning Shu got this news, she completely fell apart. T-this...

Was there something wrong with Xuan Hongyu’s head?

He first kidnapped Shangguan Qingrou, but now he brought her back and was captured by Xuan Xiaotian.

Ning Shu scratched her head. What the h.e.l.l?

If you freakin’ came back just a few days later, she could’ve seen how Xuan Xiaotian planned to savaged things.

Ning Shu couldn’t calm the fury in her heart. You frickin’ like Shangguan Qingrou and you’ve already kidnapped her, so why not just escape to somewhere faraway already!? Whaddya come back for!?

Ning Shu very much felt the urge to beat Xuan Hongyu up right now. Frick, she really couldn’t understand what he was thinking.

Shangguan Qingrou had been found, so the guards naturally no longer needed to search the capital. Ning Shu sighed in relief. In all honestly, she had been very scared of getting captured. Just the thought of being tortured made her hair rise on end.

She decided to head back to the prince’s residence first. She checked to make sure that no one was monitoring the residence anymore before jumping over the wall.

When she jumped down from the wall, she saw a mark by the foot of the wall. It had been left by the leader of the base.

Ning Shu followed the marks to an abandoned temple. She saw that several people were either standing or sitting inside. Every single one of them were looking forward with cold expressions and a baleful air hovered around them.

When One saw Ning Shu, he asked coldly, “Why did you only come now?”

Ning Shu hastily replied in a respectful tone, “There were people monitoring the third prince’s residence this entire time. This subordinate only saw the marks just now.”

One humphed coldly, then looked towards the people in the room. “We plan to go rescue Master. I heard that Master has been locked up in Changle Palace.”

Ning Shu felt that this plan was very unreliable. Was the imperial palace a place they could break into just like that? This was no different than heading over to die. Ning Shu originally wanted to say something, but she saw that none of the others spoke. It was clear that they would go with whatever One said.

Ning Shu pressed her lips together, then asked, “When do we move out?”

“Tomorrow night,” said One firmly.

“Tomorrow is when the new emperor ascends to the throne. Very few people will be paying attention to Changle Palace tomorrow, so we’ll take advantage of that time to save Master.” As One spoke, he took out a map. It was a detailed map of the imperial palace.

Ning Shu said, “Actually, we can dig a tunnel to Changle Palace.”

One looked towards Ning Shu coldly with murderous intent. “Eleven, you talk too much. Are you thinking of betraying Master? After that d.a.m.ned emperor ascends to the throne, he’ll definitely kill Master. How long would digging a tunnel take?”
