Chapter 37: The Yellow Sparrow in the Back 2
The twilight was four, and the winter night always came early, and the cold wind blew in through the cracks in the thick tabernacle. On the table facing the street on the second floor of the first floor, there was a small stove that had been extinguished, and a pot of wine had just been heated on the stove, Mu Cheng said to Bai Xuan, who was sitting opposite him in a dark shirt:
"Who knows about the fact that you let Heifengwei go to Huzhou?"
Bai Xuan shook his head, "My subordinates even hid Suzaku from it, so I don't dare to make a mistake." The dumb slave came to Huzhou, and there were two teams of men and horses along the way, one of which should be the dead soldiers from Xirong, and the other group of unknown origin, which seems to be related to the Moon Pavilion. The informant came with reliable information that tonight at the inn where the dumb slaves were stayingβ" Baek Hyun's eyes fell on the Yuelai Inn opposite, "and the dead men will do it." β
"Oh, it seems that Helenson decided that the information he had received was accurate this time. But how could an eighteen-year-old boy be the former twenty-six-year-old Yuanwu Lord?"
Baekhyun respectfully rolled an extremely fine scroll of paper on the ground, "Lord, this is news purchased from Yiyin Hall. β
Mu Cheng unfolded the paper scroll and looked at it, and his eyebrows gradually saw a clear look.
"I didn't expect that Helian Sen had been currying favor with Helian Yue for so many years in a low voice for the throne, and finally relied on a Guiyuan secret record that confused the order of mental exercises, and calculated the time when Helian Yue went crazy to force the palace. Helian Yue was not only seriously injured in all his martial arts, but also the chapter of this Guiyuan Secret Record that he had mispracticed was originally the art of rejuvenating the face, and it was not impossible for the ghost to turn into an eighteen-year-old boy," Mu Cheng tapped his fingers on the table and said in a deep voice:
"Baek Hyun, do you say that it is valuable for Helian Sen to give a hunt and kill order to his nephew who has fallen into such a situation?"
"Cutting the grass and eradicating the roots is a consistent practice of the emperor after he ascended the throne. Baekhyun replied.
"And who revealed this news to Helensen, and who would it be good to kill that mute who couldn't speak?"
Bai Xuan was silent, thought about it, and shook his head, "My subordinates don't know." β
"Some people want to use mute to curry favor with or contain Helensen, and strengthen their relationship with Helensen. Mu Cheng said with a smile, "The industry of the Oriental family has become bigger and bigger in recent years. β
"There is something unknown to the subordinates. How does the Lord know that the dumb man will settle down at the inn?"
The smile on Mu Cheng's face gradually faded, "That's because he found the place where the person he was looking for, but he couldn't find that person." He won't be willing to leave. β
It's been two days and one night, and I don't know how she is doing in the prison of the county government in Jude Town.
It was such a cold day, it had just snowed last night, and at this time it was snowing again......
He smiled self-deprecatingly, Mu Cheng, you really aren't ruthless enough...... When the time came to get her out tonight, she would have scolded herself for her scheming and scheming, and that she might have known that she had done it on purpose when she was brought back to prison. But she has calculated herself so many times, and now she is just a little colored, what is better than unbearable?
"Lord, they are moving. Baekhyun stared out the window.
Several black shadows quickly swooped into a vermilion window, and in an instant, a figure swept out, and the scimitar that followed behind him was like a comet hitting the moon, and the murderous aura flashed into the sky. It was impossible to see the face of the dumb slave in the darkness, but it was expected that his face was extremely ugly, and he suddenly turned into a fallen leaf and floated backwards, and the scimitar in his hand flashed under the ribs of the assassin on the left in an instant.
The assassin fell to the ground with a muffled grunt. At this moment, two black shadows suddenly appeared behind the dumb slave, the sword technique was vigorous and powerful, and the tornado-like sword light struck forward violently!
The dumb slave knew that something was wrong, and dodged sideways, but the sword light still cut through his left arm, and a bloody arrow burst out, and the dumb slave snorted in pain, and fell far away from the stone steps in front of the inn by the sword qi.
Seeing that the dumb slave was about to be killed by the man in black, Bai Xuan already had an uncontrollable look on his face, Mu Cheng pressed his hand and said, "Wait." β
The night is quiet on the long street.
At some point, three figures stood in front of the dumb slave, holding not a scimitar, but a sword. The hilt of the sword was more peculiar with three clusters of fire shapes, and Mu Cheng said in a deep voice:
"Sure enough, it's the Flame Cult. The martial arts of these three people are not weak, probably only slightly lower than the Dharma protector in the sect, it seems that the dumb slave must be Helian Yue. β
The black shadows downstairs were already entangled, but it was obvious that the people of the Flame Sect had the upper hand, and the sword light turned into thousands of dragons and snakes flying, and the wind and lightning were howling, and the Sky Wolf Scimitar that restrained the Xirong dead man was recruited. Soon, the last of the Sijon dead soldiers was stabbed in the chest with a sword and fell to the ground.
The mute slave stood up, and several Flame cultists knelt down on one knee, and one of them said:
"Our master instructed me to convey a sentence to the lord of the country: I don't offend people does not mean that people do not offend me, only the strong are qualified to choose their own path, and the day when the lord of the country understands is the beginning of peace and prosperity in Xirong. β
The dumb slave's face was extremely ugly, and he didn't even look at them, threw down the scimitar in his hand, and left. At this time, more than 20 black shadows quickly surrounded them with sharp blades, and more than a dozen black-clothed men appeared on the roof of the inn and aimed their bows and arrows at them.
"Baek Hyun, light the lamp, and invite people up for this son. β
The dumb slave walked up to the first and second floors of the sky, his face was always unruly and indifferent, the blue robe on his body had been torn by the blade in several places, and the wound on his left arm was oozing blood, and the bright red mottled was very frightening. He stood still in front of Mu Cheng, his eyes were dark, and he said with his lips:
"What about her?"
Mu Chengmo rubbed the wine glass in his hand and said with a smile: "As soon as you came up to see this Shizi, you were anxious to ask about the whereabouts of a woman, don't you care about the fate of your life-saving benefactors below? Let Ben Shizi teach you a way to deal with people," he raised his eyes, his gaze was like a torch, "If you really care about a person, don't expose her to your enemies, especially those who are determined to win you." β
The mute slave pulled out a chair and sat down in front of him, met his gaze, and asked, "What do you want?"
"This sentence should be asked by the son of the world. You say, should I still call you a dumb slave, or should I call you the lord of the Yuanwu Kingdom?"
"Lord Yuanwu died two years ago. The wound on his shoulder was painful, and the mute slave frowned, and said, "As you can see, I am now nothing but a lost dog. β
"That is to say, those people below don't need to be polite if they want to do it?" Mu Cheng looked out the window and said coldly.
"I can't imagine that there is someone who is more murderous than the original Yuanwu Lord. The dumb slave said sarcastically.
"Murderous nature?" Mu Cheng turned back to meet his gaze, "They have been lurking on the road in front of the Ye Family Fan Village for a day and a night, who do you think they want to attack? β
The mute slave's right hand unconsciously clenched into a fist, and there was such a rule in the Flame Cult's teachings: the pursuit mission must be completed, even if the last person must be sacrificed.
Su Wen sent people to follow him to Huzhou, not only to protect him, but also to kill her.
"What, do you want to do it yourself? No need, this murderous name can still be afforded by this son of the world. Bai Xuan," Mu Cheng said in a light tone to Bai Xuan on the side:
"Not a single one remains. β
Bai Xuan nodded, walked to Mu Cheng's side, and closed the red window facing the street. After a few moments, several screams rang out, then fell silent.
"What are you going to do with me?" said the dumb slave coldly, "If you want to use me for something, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed." I am not the king of Sijon, and I cannot betray my country. β
Mu Cheng pushed a small box in his hand in front of him, "This son only needs to make a guarantee." Yi Luo didn't want to kill them all, but he didn't want to see the Lord of Yuanwu Kingdom come back from the dead and take charge of Xirong again, the box contained the Snow Mountain Golden Cicada Gu, this Gu has a gentle temperament, and it will not damage the flesh and blood when hidden in the body. But if its mother Gu died, it would definitely go berserk and bite off the veins on the human body and die. β
"Then how can the son of the world guarantee the safety of the mother Gu?"
"You have no choice but to trust me. Mu Cheng's eyes were awe-inspiring, "If you die, someone will be sad." I owe her a favor, I can only back down to this step, is there anyone in the world who simply wants you to live except for her?"
The dumb slave was stunned, his eyes were full of sadness, the corners of his mouth raised a self-deprecating smile, he reached out to open the box, and let the golden cicada Gu sniff the bloody smell crawl to the wound on his left arm.
"I want to see her. He said.
"Bai Xuan will take you to the Lujiang City Pavilion to change your clothes and treat your wounds, and you are not afraid of scaring her now? Tonight is just a battle between Heliansen's killers and the Flame Cult, which happened to be discovered by Ben Persimmon's people and annihilated. β
The gate of Jude Prison was opened, and Wang Shuang, the guard of Lujiang City, respectfully led the way in front, Mu Cheng's expression was a little unpredictable under the firelight, and Wang Shuang only heard him ask:
"Did you do what you were told two days ago?"
Wang Shuang wiped the fine sweat on his forehead, "Back to the world, the lower officials have done their best." It's just that the hand disease of the son of Lord Shen doesn't seem to be very easy to treat, you see, the prince-"
"Didn't she say it, just cut off your hand. His voice was as cold as the snow outside.
Wang Shuang was speechless for a while, not knowing what to say so as not to offend this noble lord and help his immediate boss save his son's hand. Except for the scorching heat of July, the stone prison has never been so warm as spring, and the sweat on Wang Shuang's forehead has increased unabated. On that day, when Shen Gongzi brought people to the Ya of Jude County, someone had already taken the first step to hand over the token of the Suide prince and explained to him:
"That woman can't be interrogated in court, and she can't be held like any other prisoner, but she can't be cold and hungry, and she can't feel that she is being treated differently than others, you understand?"
Before Wang Shuang could react, Governor Shen's message asking the demon girl to immediately find out the antidote had already arrived.
