Shen Lu and Mu Chen came to the front yard together, where many disciples had already gathered. In the open space around them, Jiang Zhou was kneeling in front of Dugu Yiyi, without saying a word. They didn't know which one Jiang Zhou was playing, so they watched quietly.

Jiang Zhou's injuries were still very serious, and his body was already shaking a little after kneeling for a while. He was the worst wounded on his shoulder, and there was already blood oozing from the bandage, as if the wound had cracked.

"What are you doing when you came back, abandoned by Yin Qiansheng?"

Although Dugu Yiyi's tone was flat, anyone could hear the slight resentment in her words.

"Sect Master, I'm really sorry to disappoint you. I did work for Yin Qiansheng, and I will not make any excuses for this matter, and I feel guilty because of it. ”

After that, he kowtowed three times on the ground.

This situation made Yiyi a little overwhelmed.

It's like being slapped in the face and then the other person suddenly kneels down and apologizes to you. I really want to fight back, but I can't find the reason, and I have a weird feeling that I am full of anger and is eager to vent, but I am blocked by the other party.

Of course, this is because Yiyi is kind-hearted, so he will seem overwhelmed.

Replace it with other thick-skinned ones, such as Shen Lu, regardless of whether you are apologizing or not, you will be beaten when you should be beaten, and you will be scolded when you should be scolded. Raise your fist to beat the smiling man, he can really do it.

Shen Lu understood this, so he took a step forward and said to Dugu: "Sect Master, this Jiang Zhou first slandered me and injured me, and it was also me who revealed his true identity. He doesn't deserve to talk to you now, so let me do it for you. ”

Dugu Yiyi happened to take advantage of the situation and said, "Okay, you can deal with it." I don't want to pay attention to this kind of boring person. ”

After that, he turned away, but he didn't leave.

Shen Lu came to Jiang Zhou and squatted down, and said with a smile on his face, "Get out." ”

Jiang Zhou sighed lightly and said, "Little Liuzi, I know you hate me, I'm really sorry." In the ring before, it was me and Lu Yanfei who conspired to frame you. Now that the truth is revealed, you can also justifiably worship the sect master as a teacher. ”

"I worship...... I'm blushing!" Shen Lu almost burst into foul language, and forcibly held back the last few words, I really wanted to beat the kid in front of me again.

Who the wants you to restore Lao Tzu's innocence? Lao Tzu likes to be wronged and wants you to meddle in your affairs! Lao Tzu doesn't want to worship his apprentice as a teacher, it's too embarrassing.

Jiang Zhou ignored Shen Lu and continued to say to everyone: "I, Jiang Zhou, Mu Chen, Lu Yanfei, and Tao Pengfei, were indeed the people who guarded Yin Qiansheng before entering the Baili Sect. The purpose of our entry into the Baili Sect is not simple, that is, we want to develop and strengthen our own forces, and then let the Baili Sect and the city guard get closer to each other and reach an alliance. ”

No one expected Jiang Zhou to be so frank, and everyone looked at each other, let alone know what the purpose of his trip was.

"But that's just the beginning. After coming to Baili Sect, several of us have more or less regarded this place as our home. It's just that under the pressure of Yin Qiansheng, he had to continue to implement the plan. Mu Chen has already become a personal disciple, so we want Lu Yanfei to also become a personal disciple, but we didn't expect that something went wrong in this link, and you also know the rest of the matter. ”

Jiang Zhou paused, and continued with a regretful expression: "After escaping this time, I thought about it a lot, and I also talked a lot with Lord City Guard. Since the plan has been exposed, we have formed an inseparable bond with the Baili Sect, and naturally we deserve it, and we don't expect to understand. I, Jiang Zhou, deserve it, and Yin Qiansheng, as the initiator, can't escape the involvement. But there is one person in it who is innocent. ”

After speaking, Jiang Zhou looked at Mu Chen on the side and said softly: "Lord City Shou said, from now on, you don't have to worry about the relationship with him. You can rest assured that you will stay in Baili Sect and completely break us off. Lord Castle Guard knows that you are unhappy to follow him, and Baili Sect is the most suitable destination for you. ”

After Jiang Zhou said this, he seemed to have finished doing something particularly important, and his face suddenly became much more relaxed.

He struggled to stand up, looked around at everyone and said, "I'm done with what I'm going to say, I know that I don't want to see this face now, and I will stay away from Snow City in the future and never appear again." ”

Shen Lu was also confused by him. I thought that this insidious and cunning old thing had other means, but I didn't expect him to just come up and apologize, and say something to reassure Mu Chen, and then plan to leave.

"Do you want to use the method of separation? Deliberately picking Senior Brother Mu Chen clean, it will inevitably make us suspect that this is a tactic of abandoning the car to protect the commander. At that time, we will be suspicious of Senior Brother Mu Chen, and you will achieve the goal of revenge. Shen Lu thought for a long time and felt that this guess was the most reasonable, so he continued to add: "But don't worry, Senior Brother Mu Chen has been with us for many years, and we know his personality very well. We will trust him unconditionally, and he will still be our big brother in the future!"

Since Shen Lu experienced the scenery of the previous card drawing, he has become the idol of the other disciples who have entered the room. At this time, he raised his arms and shouted, and of course all the disciples answered in unison. Even if there are still some people who have a dislike for Mu Chen, they will not show it on the surface.

Jiang Zhou showed a very relieved look, and said to Mu Chen in the distance: "These juniors and disciples are very good to you, cherish these relatives, don't repeat the mistakes of the past." ”

Mu Chen was also very touched by the trust of his junior disciples, but after hearing Jiang Zhou mention the word 'relative', his face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly came to Jiang Zhou and asked, "Yin ...... Castle Keeper, do you have any clues about my sister?"

Jiang Zhou showed an embarrassed expression and said, "As far as I know, there are no obvious clues, only the whereabouts of some people with similar appearances. But the world is so big, and there are many people who look alike. This is not a clue, do you want it?"

"Of course, that's my own sister!" Mu Chen said, turning his head to Dugu Yiyi and said, "Master, please allow the apprentice to go down the mountain." I will go and make it clear to Yin Qiansheng, after all, he also has the grace of cultivation for me. And my sister has been separated from me for many years, and now that I finally have a clue from her, I don't want to give up. ”

When it came to this, Dugu Yiyi naturally had no reason to stop it, and said: "Go early and return early, pay attention to safety." ”

Mu Chen thanked him and followed Jiang Zhou to the gate.

Shen Lu was a little relieved that Mu Chen couldn't get rid of Mu Chen, so he warned: "Jiang Zhou, tomorrow I want to see Senior Brother come back safe and sound, otherwise I will turn Snow City upside down, and I won't let you go." ”

Jiang Zhou turned around and solemnly promised: "Don't worry." I, Jiang Zhou, guarantee with my personality, Mu Chen will never be fine. ”

Looking at the backs of the two leaving, Shen Lu always felt that something was wrong in his heart, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. glanced at the hidden tasks in the system, and had mixed feelings in my heart. The task is to kill Jiang Zhou in five days, but now what reason do you have to do it to him?

Forget it, it's just a task, if you don't do it, don't do it, just live with peace of mind.

......

On the second day, Mu Chen did not come back.

On the third day, Dugu Yiyi sent someone to the city lord's mansion to inquire, but was driven out by the other party. On the same day, the castle guard Yin Qiansheng announced that the succession ceremony of the city lord would be held in two days.

On the fourth day, the news of the succession ceremony broke, and many people were ready to admire the ceremony, and Snowy City became lively again. Most notable are the groups of soldiers in heavy armor, known as the White Feather Guards.

On the fifth day, that is, the day of the succession ceremony, Shen Lu finally couldn't bear it.

In the early hours of the morning, Shen Lu set off for Snowy City, ready to find a way to stop the succession ceremony and find Mu Chen at the same time.

When I came to the city gate, I saw that there were people gathered in front of the city gate, and everyone pointed above the city gate, as if they were chatting about something.

Shen Lu squeezed through the crowd and looked up, the situation in front of him made him stunned.

Mu Chen, who was wearing only a pair of underwear, was bound by four iron chains around his limbs, in the shape of a large character, and hung high above the city gate. All the people who enter and leave the city can see Mu Chen's miserable appearance at a glance.

From a distance, you can see that his whole body is covered with whip marks that have been tortured, and there is hardly a good skin on his body, and his body is covered with blood.

On the left and right sides of Mu Chen, there were two pieces of white cloth hanging down like couplets, on which a sentence was written.

On the left is: Sun Pattern, Soul of the Horse Thief.

On the right is: the most of a hundred miles, the person who passed it on.

Looking at everything in front of him, Shen Lu's brain was seriously insufficient. Why is this happening?

He stayed there for a long time, and through the conversations of the onlookers around him, he gradually understood what was happening.

Mu Chen has a tattoo of the sun symbol on his chest, and this tattoo is the logo of the horse thief of the cholera Yong'an Kingdom more than twenty years ago.

At that time, these horse thieves burned and looted everywhere, and did all the bad things, especially some remote villages, because they could not get timely rescue from the big cities, many villages were wiped out by the horse thieves overnight. These ferocious and brutal thieves have left an indelible shadow on all the citizens of Yong'an Country.

After several years of efforts by the unity of Yong'an Kingdom, the horse thieves were able to be eliminated. It's been a long time since I've heard of a horse thief causing trouble, but when a horse thief is mentioned, everyone will regard it as an absolute evil, and they all want to kill it first and then quickly.

Jiang Zhou came to Baili Sect a few days ago, not to apologize, nor to say good things to Mu Chen. His only purpose was just to trick Mu Chen into going down the mountain with him.

After capturing Mu Chen, they tortured him and hung him at the gate of the city today. The two sentences hanging beside Mu Chen were exactly what they were doing this for.

The meaning of the first sentence is: this man has a sun tattoo on his chest, and he is inseparable from the horse thief.

The second sentence is: This person is the best disciple of the Baili Sect's martial arts, and he is also the personal disciple of the Dugu Sect Master.

The meaning of the two sentences together is: Baili Sect harbors horse thieves!

There are many people in Snow City who know Mu Chen, and the sun tattoo on Mu Chen's chest is also clearly visible, and the iron-clad facts are in front of him, and others can't help but believe it.

Thinking of this, Shen Lu suddenly remembered the day when he fought to the death with Jiang Zhou, Jiang Zhou inadvertently opened Mu Chen's clothes, presumably he saw the tattoo that Mu Chen had been hiding at that time.

And the reason why Mu Chen was found to have a tattoo was because Mu Chen chose to turn back to save Shen Lu when he could escape.

Thinking about all this, Shen Lu suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

The reason why a person is confused is that he does not know what he is going to do. When a person knows that he has to do something, he is much less stressed.
