Although his freedom was restricted, he was able to steal a few days of leisure, stay away from the distractions of the outside world, and practice swordsmanship and Taoism wholeheartedly, which benefited Mu Shan a lot.

Night came quietly, when the endless black curtain began to bloom the bright moonlight, Mu Shan immediately put away the evil spirits in his hand, in the gentle touch of the moonlight, with a look of anticipation, a happy face sat on the smooth boulder at the entrance of the sword mound, looking at the outline of the forest that could be vaguely seen in the darkness in the distance.

"Well......" Mu Shan waited a little anxiously, sighed lowly, and said to himself: "Why haven't you come yet, you have always been very punctual, is there any trouble?" ”

Time passed quietly, Mu Shan was making all kinds of speculations in his heart, and even wanted to sneak out of the sword mound and go to the Sword Sect to see where Xiuniang was now.

"It's coming!" Just when Mu Shan was restless and spent like a year, in the blurred outline of the woods, a faint light finally lit up, and a narrow rainbow bridge of light was laid out in the darkness, carrying the people who were as beautiful as fairies to the earth, and it was long overdue.

"Xiu Niang!" Mu Shan raised his hand and waved it vigorously, calling loudly in his mouth, and at the same time, his stomach was also very cooperative.

"Flutter ......" Xiuniang was preoccupied and worried, and when she walked in front of Mu Shan, it happened that Mu Shan stopped her mouth, leaving her empty stomach drumming there, so funny, and immediately made her laugh lightly, making the melancholy between her eyebrows disappear without a trace.

Mu Shan touched the back of his head disappreciatively, and smirked: "Look, if you don't come again, not only will I have an opinion, but my stomach will also protest to you." ”

Xiuniang inserted the lantern between the cracks in the stones, opened the lid of the cage, took out the food one by one, and said, "I haven't seen you so unhelpful before, why don't you eat a meal now, your stomach begins to croak." ”

Mu Shan smiled as a matter of course: "I can't blame me, you raised my stomach, and you have to cook for me every day in the future." ”

"Slow down, no one is robbing you, don't choke." Xiuniang took out her handkerchief, gently wiped the rice grains from Mu Shan's mouth, and said, "No wonder my aunt used to tell me that there was a gluttony at home, but this is not wrong at all." ”

"Hehe, it's a good thing to be able to eat, eat well, your body is naturally strong, and you won't get sick, so you can't even save the money for medicine." Mu Shan stopped his chopsticks, chewed the food in his mouth, and said vaguely: "Xiuniang, why is it so late today, is something happening?" ”

“…… Why don't you speak? Mu Shan looked at Xiuniang, who suddenly fell silent, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he asked with a little anger: "Is it that old man Sima Wang who deliberately made things difficult for you?" ”

"It's not!" Xiuniang shook her head lightly and said, "Since Dong Zhuo put on a shackle and a lock, played the imperial court, lifted the party shackles, appointed and promoted party members, and governed the imperial court, the imperial court has begun to improve. But between Dong Zhuo and the party, there is only a superficial peace. The party believed that Dong Zhuo was just a usurper and a traitor, and plotted to assassinate Dong Zhuo and reinstate the young emperor Liu Wei. However, if he was not careful, Wu Fu, the captain of the Yue Cavalry, although he was strong in martial arts, he still couldn't kill Dong Zhuo after all, and he was captured, and Dong Zhuo was angrily searching around to arrest Yu Dang. Moreover, he also sent Li Ru to kill the young emperor, and Luoyang was in chaos like a pot of porridge at this time. Ah Pu and Fat Dun escaped from Luoyang, and were recruiting troops outside, preparing to call on all the princes to fight Dong Zhuo. ”

"Party ......" Mu Shan heard that it was not Sima Wang who was playing tricks, so he immediately relaxed, and muttered: "A group of idiots who are full of food and have nothing to do, they don't have a good time to live their peaceful life, they have to make a lot of things, they deserve it!" But I know a little bit about Dong Fatzi. It is said that he was born in a strong family, but he was lost in the middle of the road, the family was so poor that there was only one ploughing ox left, and when some of the Qiang people he befriended visited, he did not hesitate to kill the only ploughing ox to entertain them. If he searched for the party, I still believe it, but sending Li Ru to kill the young emperor ...... this is a move to provoke public anger and set himself on fire......

Mu Shan hesitated for a moment and said, "Where did the news come from?" Are you sure that Dong Fatzi sent Li Ru there, or was it Li Ru's own idea? Or is someone pouring dirty water on Dong Fatman? ”

"The news was ordered by the junior brother, and he hopes that you can go down the mountain to rescue the young emperor before Li Ru."

"Oh......" Mu Shan lengthened his tone meaningfully, his eyes narrowed slightly, he just nodded faintly, and said, "It turned out to be him." ”

"You...... To go or not to go? ”

Mu Shan shook his head decisively and said, "Don't go!" ”

Xiuniang asked puzzledly, "Why?" Have you forgotten the meaning of the existence of our Heavenly Sword Sect? Although the young emperor was deposed, he was also a royal bloodline after all, and he had never done anything to be sorry for the world. If we sit idly by and ignore him, wouldn't it be a decent duty to be a famous family in the world! ”

"Because ......," Mu Shan pondered, "this is a trap!" ”

"Traps? What traps? ”

"The little junior brother is completely under the control of Dong Fatzi, how can he have the ability to order someone to secretly pass on the news. If I really go, I'm afraid that tomorrow Li Ru's wife will hold the corpse of the young emperor, crying bitterly and accusing me of being mad, in order to help the little junior brother consolidate the throne, I will not hesitate to poison the royal bloodline, and then I will really become a traitor who everyone will be punished. ”

Xiuniang said suspiciously: "Is this Li Ru's trap?" ”

"Well, the battle between officialdom is far more tragic and bloody than the battlefield." Mu Shan nodded lightly and said: "Dong Fatzi was so hand-picked by the party, I am afraid that it will be difficult for him to accept other talents in the future, he himself is a military general, he is not familiar with political affairs, and when it comes to the crooks and turns in government affairs, ten of them together are not as good as a party member." This Luoyang, it is estimated that it will be even more chaotic, if there is nothing to do, you better not go down the mountain, so as not to encounter accidents. ”

"Well, then how should I tell my junior brother?"

"Let's just say that when I arrived, the young emperor had been poisoned by Li Ru. But this is also a helpless thing, after all, when he ordered someone to come, Li Ru had already gone to poison the young emperor, and the dust had already settled when I arrived. ”

"If you really want to hide it from him, aren't you afraid that he will find you to settle accounts after knowing the truth?"

Mu Shan shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "Let's talk about it when he has that ability." ”
