Fifteen years ago, the prince turned into a snake, snatched a short soldier and killed the monarch in the court, was wounded by more than ten guards, and died in the palace, the emperor was furious, and hundreds of officials spit on it.

According to the legend of the officials, the second prince had red eyes and lost consciousness above the court that day, and he had a thousand strengths, knocked down the throne and went straight to the Qin Emperor. Its shape is like a zombie, the face is hideous, the teeth are flowing, when the back is killed, it is still like a broken foot insect, the upper and lower body struggles constantly, and then it was ordered by the Qin Emperor to burn its body, turned into black water, poured like dust.

This anecdote of ghosts and gods was once kept secret in the court, and it was forbidden to talk about it among the princes, and the scandal of the royal family was naturally not allowed to be spread by officials.

As this secret matter has become a thing of the past under the wear and tear of time, that kind of taboo has gradually been passed by everyone, but when this old thing is excavated again, it seems that all that brings everyone is astonishment and incomprehension. It was obviously a mystery case without a head and tail, but no one inquired about the truth, the second prince, who was highly respected in the army back then, had no reason to become a zombie and was cut down in the main hall with a knife, and several people who had close relationships with the second prince were implicated, and even all of them were covering up the traces of the second prince's appearance, but no one thought to find out the truth.

The dead seem to have cut off communication with this world, and those who survive are also waiting in the shadows to one day clear the fog on the surface of the bloody case and let everyone in the Qin Dynasty see the truth. But few people seem to care about this, and the people who have survived in the dark for more than ten years may only be able to be used as pawns controlled by those big people.

What is the point of his life if years of lurking are useless? When a man is so humble that he lives only for one thing, his life becomes extremely cheap, and any bargain that can achieve his purpose becomes the most legitimate reason, and without this reason support, then the desire to survive becomes a luxury.

Zhu Wu slowly stood up, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was recalling the hatred of the past in this false sleep, he breathed a heavy sigh of relief, and said: "Everyone, it is not a blessing to know my past, I am a person related to the second prince, I have already been included in Emperor Qin's must-kill list, Emperor Qin will not tolerate a person who should have died, and then expose this royal scandal, once it is known that you know my secret, even if you are the leader of Wohua Mountain, I am afraid it will be difficult to escape." ”

Jiang Ming pondered: "This Grandmaster, I don't think things are so complicated now, you have become a Nine-Rank Martial Arts Grandmaster, and you are the fourth Grandmaster in the Qin Dynasty except for the Mountain Lord of Wohua Mountain, this kind of strength is enough to make the Qin Emperor jealous, then why don't you dare to publicize it, as long as you can deter those people in the Qin Dynasty, even the Qin Emperor has to take it seriously, right?"

Hearing these words, Mu Ya and Lin Han both laughed, and Zhu Wu knew that Jiang Ming had no intention of offending, so he said slowly: "Jiang Ming Shaoxia is thinking too simply, although in the Qin Dynasty, the Ninth Rank Martial Arts Grandmaster is already considered a top strength, but it is not invincible, and if it has not reached the status level, it is impossible to make those people in the royal family bow their heads." If I stand up at this time, I am afraid that no one will pay attention to what I say, and the overwhelming army will kill me, and I do not want my years of lurking to be in vain. ”

Jiang Ming fell into deep thought, he didn't understand these court battles, the only thing he understood was the involvement of interests, who knew that it was not applicable to the royal dispute. In a huge dynasty, as long as there is someone in charge, the dignity of the royal family is absolutely above the interests, and if someone wants to lose the face of the royal family, they will inevitably be killed by the power of the country.

Liang Jin frowned and said: "Since Mr. Zhu Fu has informed us of this matter, then we have a certain obligation, according to what the Sheep Tower Wind City Lord did before, if we want to obtain a stable barrier in Jiaozhi City, what we must do is to help you complete this matter, right?"

Yang Tafeng nodded, and said: "I was not worried that you would harm the people of Jiaozhi City, but as the identity of Zhu Wu was gradually revealed, I have been a little unable to see the changes in the situation, I was assassinated once before, that is, Zhu Wu came to save me, although the killer who came only had eight ranks, but he was not an ordinary martial arts master." He escaped from Zhu Yao's hands, and I began to know that Zhu Wu, the new Ninth Rank Grandmaster, would become extremely sensitive, so I set up a small trick a few days ago, hoping to get Mr. Mu Ya's help. ”

Mu Ya said: "If I hadn't shown my strength today, even Jiang Ming wouldn't have known that I would be able to face the Ninth Rank Grandmaster alone, although I had some military achievements in the past, it doesn't seem to be enough for you to entrust me with such a major matter." If I were the person concerned, I would naturally not believe an outsider, the Lord of the Sheep Tower Wind City, what you said is a little distorted. ”

Yang Tafeng said: "Mr. Mu Ya is too worried, I am actually a gambler, when I saved Zhu Yao, it was with the idea that he could help me one day, although he was not a nine-stage grandmaster at that time, but it was enough to win my attention." Mr. Mu Ya is the same, I have been observing the situation on the battlefield of Jiaozhi, Mr. Mu Ya can rely on his own wisdom, to defeat the veteran Pang Lu several times, it is enough to see that Mr. has the talent to help the world. I deliberately brought Jiang Ming Shaoxia here before, and promised help in that way, all I asked for was to get Mr. Mu Ya's attention. ”

Zhu Fu glanced at Yang Tafeng with a little sadness, and then lowered his eyes, as if what he was worried about was a little redundant.

Mu Ya paused and said, "In this way, the reason can be explained. After I found the traces of this Mr. Zhu Yao, I pursued it twice, the first time to promote the alliance between Daming Grottoes and Wohua Mountain, and the second time was to know Mr. Zhu Wu's attitude towards Wohua Mountain's entry into Jiaozhi City. ”

Yang Ta Feng said: "I believe you all know very well that the original three overlord families of Jiaozhi City have now been eliminated, in this process, I have helped me a lot, I can't repay it, so I can only think about it to help him uncover the truth of the prince's snake mystery case, but I hate the lack of wisdom, and I hope that Mr. Mu Ya and everyone in Wohua Mountain can help." ”

Zhu Wu was a little stunned, although he knew that Yang Ta Feng had a plan in his words, but he knew very well that in the process of exterminating the three major overlord families in the past, he actually contributed very little, and Shengzhi could be said to have made no contribution, and the hidden and food supplies in the past fifteen years were all provided by Yang Ta Feng, and he never said anything in return, and the image of Yang Ta Feng in his eyes at this time slowly blurred.

Liang Jin said: "Yangta Wind City Lord, this matter you asked about our staff officer, I shouldn't have been the first to answer with affection, but at this time, I want to plead a few sentences, if we help, it will definitely be the favor we give you, if we don't want to make a move, we can't let this kind of favor become a reason to restrain us, what do you think?"

Hearing Liang Jin's words, Lin Han and Meng Lang both smiled silently, and Yang Ta Feng sweated on his forehead, Liang Jin was too familiar with these things, and his approach was naturally extremely skilled, which not only avoided Yang Ta Feng from using this as a threat, but also saved Mu Ya's face, if it was someone else, he would naturally not be so tactful.

Mu Ya smiled indifferently at Liang Jin, expressing his gratitude, allowing Liang Jin to abandon his previous suspicions and play a round for him, I have to say that Liang Jin has made great changes, Mu Ya is also happy to see this, and then looked at Yangta Feng and said: "I don't decide to involve this matter, but I decided to help Mr. Zhu Wu." ”

Zhu Wu's throat was a little dry, and he asked, "Mr. Mu Ya, what do you mean by this?"

Mu Ya smiled: "I will only arrange what I have to do, which will definitely involve Mr. Zhu Wu, although my position is also to uncover the mystery, but I am not sure whether it will work." That's all I can do, and I hope that the Lord of the Sheep Tower Wind City and Mr. Zhu Woe can understand. ”

Yang Tafeng and Zhu Yu looked at each other, and after a long time, he arched his hand to Mu Ya and slowly withdrew from the cross box, which was equivalent to agreeing with Mu Ya's statement.

After the two left, Liang Jin moved his eyes, and Chu Hong and Meng Lang immediately walked out of the box and opened their eyes to investigate, for fear that the blessing had not left yet, or that there were still spies in Yangtafeng. Mu Ya beckoned and said, "Five Commanders, Eight Commanders, come in, no one is watching outside." When I entered here, I had already secretly set up the Qimen Formation, and if Yang Tafeng still planned to spy on us, then he would be too stupid. ”

After the two of them returned, Liang Jin asked: "Mr. Mu Ya, why did you agree to Yang Tafeng's request? He just took a fancy to your wisdom, so he planned to involve you, but how could that mystery be so easy? It is very likely that it is mixed with the methods of those big men of the Qin Dynasty, I am afraid that Yang Tafeng will not be upset." ”

Mu Ya said: "Don't worry, although Yangta Feng is a latent tiger with great ambitions, it has always been limited to this Jiaozhi City, so my vision is naturally short-sighted, and I have already made the premise clear before, I will not really participate, any means to help him are arbitrary, so don't worry that I will fall into his trap." Yang Tafeng didn't know that I could face the Nine-Rank Martial Arts Grandmaster alone, so he dared to test it like that, but now it is different, he has witnessed my strength, and he will naturally look at it with a very good eye, which will be extremely beneficial to us. ”

Lin Han said: "Then how does Mr. Mu Ya plan to deal with the trouble?"

Mu Ya said: "I choose not to act. ”

Luo Hu said: "Didn't we promise Yangtafeng before? If we are like this, will it cause Yangtafeng's disgust, and what should the city soldiers of Jiaozhi City do to us when the time comes?" 59 Shuku

Mu Ya said: "Don't worry about this, our current strength is no worse than Yangtafeng, this request was originally completed on an equal footing, Yangtafeng was calculated by me, and he didn't make a move when I captured Jiaozhi City, and he no longer had a chance to decide whether we would go or stay." Moreover, as far as I know, it is absolutely impossible for Yangta Feng to use Jiaozhi City as a battlefield, as long as we fall into a huge problem, Yangta Wind will definitely not almost drive us away. ”

Meng Lang said: "In this case, as long as we are in Jiaozhi City for a day, Yangta Feng is our ally in secret, and it seems that this is a good choice until our power is restored." ”

Mu Ya smiled: "Almost, we won a move in chess, now we have contained Jiaozhi City, although we have given up the natural barrier of the Jiaozhi Mountain Range, but in fact, the Panglu army, Daming Grottoes, and barbarians are all unable to attack Wohua Mountain in the short term because of their own positions, although we have now lost more than half of our men and horses, but at least we can be invincible, and we will also take the initiative in the future garrison." ”

Luo Hu said: "Mr. Mu Ya, I don't know something, the reason why we can win the Yangta Feng strategically is because we can capture Jiaozhi City without his help, but there were tens of thousands of people in Jiaozhi City that day, and it is almost impossible for our remnant army to break through Jiaozhi, but at that time, there was chaos in the Qin army, and our army was able to take advantage of the chaos to attack, I think the reason why the Qin army was chaotic was because of Mr. Mu Ya's means, right?"

Mu Ya smiled: "This question, I think the second commander can answer it." ”

Everyone's eyes turned to Liang Jin, but Liang Jin smiled awkwardly and said, "This matter is very important, I didn't plan to tell you." ”

Luo Hu looked displeased and said, "How did you learn to sell Guanzi, ah?"

Liang Jin shook his head at Mu Ya and said slowly, "There are our people in Jiaozhi City. ”

Everyone was stunned, but Meng Lang smiled bitterly: "Lao Jin, what you said is too perfunctory, you can disrupt the battle situation, naturally there are our people in the city, you think of us too much, what we want to know is naturally the identity of that person, only you and Mr. Mu Ya know, I always feel that there is something wrong with the two of you." ”

Liang Jin was extremely helpless, and under the curious eyes of everyone, he said slowly: "This person is Su Jie, Zhu Gai's general, the only eight-stage guard general in Jiaozhi City, and he is the one who disrupted the Qin army. ”

Hearing such an answer, everyone was stunned and silent for a long time, Lin Han said: "Lao Jin, you didn't laugh, did you? Su Jie was in Jinhui City, fighting with Mengzi and the eldest son, but he never relaxed, he was loyal to Zhu Gai, how could he betray? How do I think you and Mr. Mu Ya are uniting to deceive us?"

Mu Yalang said with a smile: "What the second commander said is true, as for why Su Jie wants to help us, it is not difficult to guess, because he has always been loyal to Zhu Gai, and Zhu Gai's loyalty is not necessarily Pang Lu." ”

Luo Hu said: "What does Mr. Mu Ya mean...... Was it Jugai's idea, and Jugai chose to help us?"

Mu Ya talked eloquently: "Zhu Gai, there is a request for me, Zhu Gai is actually not a simple Zhu Gai, his identity is very mysterious, I lied to him, so I can get his help." Do you still remember what I said to Yang Tafeng just now, my plan will carry out the blessing of misfortune, and this breakthrough is here, and it is on Zhu Gai. ”

Jiang Ming said: "Could it be that this Zhu Gai has something to do with Zhu Yao?"

Mu Ya chuckled twice and said: "It's also accidental, because of the temptation of Yangtafeng, I saw the identity of Zhu Yao, and then because of the identity of Zhu Yao, I was able to use a plan to put Zhu Gai in, and it is also my plan to be vicious, otherwise Zhu Gai would not be able to help me." He is Ling Tongzhi's deputy general, his real name is Chang Gai, and he is also the victim and survivor of the prince's snake mystery case. ”

Luo Hu said: "It turned out to be the deputy general of Zhu Yao, no wonder, no wonder, what deal did you make with Zhu Gai and Mr. Mu Ya?"

Mu Ya said: "This is a bit casual, I actually knew the identity of Zhu Yu early on according to some slight clues, so I revealed the matter of the prince turning into a snake in front of Zhu Gai, and Zhu Gai believed that Ling Tongzhi was still alive." Of course, I didn't lie to him, Ling Tongzhi was indeed alive, but I just took advantage of his luck and coaxed him to help me occupy Jiaozhi City. The current Zhu Gai is no longer the Zhu Gai of the Qin Dynasty. ”

When Zhu Gai chose to trade the Qin Dynasty's army as a bargaining chip for personal matters, he did have another identity, if no one noticed about this matter, it would be fine, but if it was broken in the future, then no matter what kind of military exploits he had, he would not be able to gain a foothold under the Pang Lu account.

Lin Han pondered: "In this way, Pang Lu's subordinates are also equivalent to having our manpower, as long as we have a good grasp, we can defeat Pang Lu in one fell swoop, it seems that Mr. Mu Ya is scheming." ”

Mu Ya waved his hand, as if he was not happy because of such praise, and said with emotion: "Acting with a plan is often a mistake in the sky, no matter how smart you are, you will lose your lifespan, so most of the people who cultivate Qimen count the number of days by fate, die early, and often do not live long, or the cultivator is the most simple, with his own life, what he gains is proportional to what he loses, which is very enviable." ”

This kind of emotion is often just a pretended moan, like a young man who doesn't know how to say sorrow, but Jiang Ming's face suddenly became melancholy, because he knew that Mu Ya was not pretentious, and the reason for the rarity of the number of cultivators was not only in talent, but also because there were some senior cultivators who captured the number of days and then encountered a catastrophe, which is just as Mu Ya said, the wise man does not live long.

The wise do not live, and it has been like this for thousands of years.

For a person like Mu Ya, it is not a curse to have a resourceful heart.

Jiang Ming said, "Mu Ya, I would like to know, now that you have become a formation master?"

Mu Ya smiled bitterly: "If you want to take that step, how can it be so easy?"

Jiang Ming's face gradually became calmer, he already knew the answer he wanted to know, and Mu Ya's departure became an inevitability.

"After making a fuss for so long, everything that should be said has been said, and we haven't eaten yet, don't forget that our original purpose was to come to the party. ”

Jiang Ming picked up the wine jar and walked over the table, a glass full of sake, naturally he was not stingy with money, if he could use wine to cover all the sorrows in his heart, it would be considered good luck.

But no.
