Chapter 13 Departure to the Smoke Continent
Mu Yunmo walked around the Cangxuan Pavilion with light steps, out of the habit of being an assassin, she wanted to familiarize herself with the layout of the palace and some key passages here as soon as possible. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info At this time, the sun had not yet risen, and the halls of Cangxuan Pavilion were silent, and on the one hand, Mu Yunmo's sleep was very little, and on the other hand, it was possible to avoid nodding and greeting when she ran into a lot of people, so that the etiquette that made her feel uncomfortable had always been less or less.
Qimang Mountain is located in the center of the mainland, and Cangxuan Pavilion stands on the top of Qimang Mountain. Cangxuan Pavilion has been hidden here for a hundred years, and Qimang Mountain has been set up since the foot of the mountain, so although it is the only way for countries to come and go, but in addition to the people in the Cangxuan Pavilion, few people come, two years ago Cangxuan Pavilion reappeared in front of the world, and the number of people who came gradually increased, but it is nothing more than the envoys and resident deacons of various countries. The mountain road leading to Cangxuan Pavilion is rugged and precipitous, and when you reach the top of the mountain, the vision suddenly opens up, only to see one hundred and eight layers of blue-gray stairs five zhang wide and half a foot high leading to the main entrance of Cangxuan Pavilion, majestic and awe-inspiring, the stairs and door walls are covered with purple-black charms, adding a bit of mystery. Walking through a long corridor behind the main gate, it is the main hall of Cangxuan Pavilion, the Hall of Stars.
At this time, Mu Yunmo was about to leave the Hall of Stars and go to the Library Pavilion to have a look, but saw someone coming from the corridor.
"Little Momo!" The visitor saw Mu Yunmo rushing up.
Mu Yunmo saw the comer clearly, and lightly turned sideways to avoid the oncoming "kindness", "Yushuo, why are you here?" ”
"Life in the palace is so boring, my uncle let me learn the art of war from those old generals all day long, I am almost suffocated! So I fled to Cangxuan Pavilion early in the morning to hide for a while. Yu Shuo waved his hand, and the uncle in his mouth was He Dixi, the emperor of the Red Dome Kingdom.
He Di Yushuo is the son of He Dihui's eldest brother He Dihui, once in a war, He Di Hui died to save He Di Hui in distress, He Di Yushuo became a posthumous son, when he was born due to dystocia, his mother also died after giving birth to him. He Diyu has been cared for and cultivated as his own since he was a child, and sometimes he doted on him and even surpassed his own son, and when he became an adult, he was crowned a prince. However, this He Di Yushuo is casual and uninhibited, does not like to be restrained, and he is stubborn by nature, he will sneak out of the palace to play whenever he has the opportunity, and when the Red Dome Kingdom needs to elect three resident deacons of Cangxuan Pavilion, he finally made He Di Yu loosen his mouth and give him a position, in order to be able to go out of the palace more justifiably in the future.
"Oh."
"Hey, why are you so cold, aren't you happy to see me come here to play with you?" He Di Yushuo approached Mu Yunmo dissatisfied.
"Little prince, I'm not here to play, now I'm going to the library pavilion, you can move to rest." Mu Yunmo bypassed Yushuo and said that he was about to leave.
Yu Shuo hurriedly caught up, "Xiao Momo, don't be so boring, by the way, I just got a hot news here, do you want to listen to it?" ”
"What valuable news can you have, is it that Your Majesty has pointed out that the young lady has married you as the princess? Or is the tavern you invested in losing money again? Mu Yunmo teased Yushuo's past troubles, and his footsteps still did not stop.
"Hey, don't do this, I really have big news, about Xizhao." Yushuo blinked mysteriously.
Hearing the word "Xizhao", Mu Yunmo's face flashed in his mind, and he couldn't help but stop.
Seeing this, Yushuo knew that she was interested, and immediately took out a look of wanting to negotiate conditions: "I got this news very rarely, if you want to know...... Lend me your 'Scarlet Moon' for two days, I've been particularly interested in daggers lately. ”
"Forget it, I'm not very interested." Mu Yunmo stepped up and pretended to leave.
"Hey, hey, okay, I've served you, I'll tell you that it's not okay, a fleet of official ships of Xizhao has been hijacked on Chihu Island in Yanmiaozhou, not to mention the goods on it for the time being, the crew is life and death unknown, Xizhao is about to send someone to Yanmiaozhou to negotiate in the past two days."
"Negotiations? To put it mildly, it sounds like negotiation, but in fact, it is to send troops to fight. Mu Yunmo looked clear.
Yu Shuo sighed, "Isn't it, if you want me to say, maybe the disappearance of the fleet was directed and acted by them Xizhao, the purpose is to become famous and lead a head to the Yanmiao Continent, after all, who doesn't want to occupy the resource-rich archipelago over there!" ”
"That's not it, the dispute in Manxi has just ended, and a lot of energy and resources have been consumed, even if they have the intention, they will not be in such a hurry to make this series of actions, not to mention that the pirates of the Yanmiao Continent can be unscrupulous for so many years, and it is not so easy to take them down."
"That's right...... Hey, whatever, let's just watch the show! Speaking of Xiaomomo, let's discuss it again, your 'Scarlet Moon' ......"
Mu Yunmo didn't have the psychology to understand the entanglement behind Yu Shuo, and her mind quickly sorted out all the information she knew about Yan Miao Zhou.
Yan Miao Chau is a general term for an archipelago off the coastline at the southern tip of the mainland, and three of the larger islands are the main activity areas of the inhabitants on Yan Miao Chau: Chihu Island, Blue Flame Island and Biqiong Island. Because it is located outside the mainland and has little direct contact with mainland countries, it cannot be forcibly restrained, so the pirate cargo ships in Yanmiao Island have become a gray area at sea for smuggling and selling contraband. Although Yan Miao Chau was occupied by pirates, there were many island groups and the interests of the various factions were intricate, so the disappearance of Yan Miao Chau was not established as a political entity, but each pirate gang occupied an island separately. Chihu Island, the largest of the three, has a large, defensible natural harbor facing the western coast, and a navy that is always on standby to make the pirates and smugglers even more unscrupulous and lawless.
Mu Yunmo felt a trace of worry in his heart, "Could it be that he led the troops to ......?"
Sure enough, two days later, Xizhao spread the news and sent officials to Chihu Island for "negotiations", and the person sent was Xuan Shao, as Mu Yunmo expected.
A navy that is skilled in naval warfare, a port that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and a fierce and cunning pirate...... Thinking of this, Mu Yunmo didn't have time to think about it more, and left for Yanmiao Continent directly in the evening, without even having time to send a message to Chiqiong's mansion......
"Master, judging from the intelligence, the number of troops sent by Xizhao is not small, and he even sent Xuan Shao over, wanting to come to this time to negotiate, but in fact, he wants to take the opportunity to capture Chihu Island." Qi Ling's confidant Pei Xi said with a serious expression, "If they succeed in taking the ...... of Chihu Island."
Qi Ling's face was unexpectedly relaxed, and he teased Zero as usual and said, "Did I say let them return victoriously?" ”
Hearing this, Pei Xi's eyes lit up, and she stepped forward and arched her back slightly and asked, "What do you mean?" ”
"Yan Miao Zhou is far overseas, and it is not restricted by land countries, many things are inconvenient to do here, but it is different there, bring your people to leave tonight."
"The left minister is wise, there is no trace of such a move, the political structure there is chaotic, and no one will suspect that it is us." Suddenly, Pesci paused and said with a little hesitation: "It's just... As soon as his subordinates found out, Mu Yunmo also set off for Yanmiao Continent. ”
"Oh? She also went? , Mu Yuan is missing, but his family still has a force to be reckoned with in Chiqiong, and he is worried that he can't find a chance, so she sent it to the door by herself, what to do, you know. ”
"Subordinates take orders!" With that, Peixi exited Qi Ling's room.
Qi Ling closed his eyes slightly, but there was a cold expression on his face.
Mu Yunmo, maybe you were the best female assassin in Chiqiong, but now you have too many worries, the family, responsibility, and the truth about Mu Yuan's disappearance are all your ties, and now, it seems that you have another weakness. An Assassin should have cut off any emotional entanglements, and cold-blooded and ruthless is the duty of an Assassin.
So, you'll never be a true Assassin.
