Chapter 442: Spare Him from Dying
He sneered, his eyes did not hide the anger and extreme distrust in his heart, and his cold gaze was full of sarcasm on Mu Shaoxuan's face, and he kept sweeping around.
After a while, he asked angrily, "Young Master Mu, do you think I Zhang Guang looks like a fool?" ”
Didn't you make an appointment in advance? Fool a three-year-old!
This hellish explanation who loves to believe who believes!
Not Mu Shaoxuan? Could it be that those people were deliberately invited to see his jokes?
Mu Shaoxuan met his sneering gaze, and his brows couldn't help but tighten, "Third son, can you listen to me calmly first?" ”
Zhang Guang glanced at him with disdain, and snorted with extreme dissatisfaction, but did not say anything sarcastic.
Mu Shaoxuan softened his tone, implying a faint pleading, "Since you are willing to stand here and listen to my explanation, can you not have preconceived ideas first?" If he insists on not believing it, then what is the point of explaining more here.
Zhang Guang glanced over coldly, still clenched his teeth and did not speak.
Seeing this, Mu Shaoxuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Zhang Guang did not sneer and retort, but waited silently, that is, he was willing to listen to his explanation.
"Actually, what happened that day was really a misunderstanding," Mu Shaoxuan's face softened, and he looked at Zhang Guang with a clear gaze, "I have never thought of humiliating ...... in front of people."
Suddenly, a strange bird call "quack" sounded nearby, which not only startled Mu Shaoxuan, but also interrupted his words.
"What sound?"
Zhang Guang didn't listen to him anymore, but looked around nervously and vigilantly.
Mu Shaoxuan's heart beat wildly for a while, and he was also infected by his nervousness, and began to raise his eyes to look around uneasily.
Just as he turned to look, Zhang Guang, who was originally standing behind him, suddenly walked quickly, directly overtaking him to the front.
He was stunned and said in surprise, "Third son, what are you doing?" ”
Who knew that Zhang Guang ignored him, but suddenly turned around strangely and ran along the trail. Mu Shaoxuan was stunned, remembering the strange and frightened face he had when he turned around just now, and after a little hesitation, he raised his feet and ran over.
"What are you running?"
Mu Shaoxuan was afraid that this was the palace, and he didn't want others to find out that they had settled their personal grudges here, so he deliberately slowed down his steps in chasing after him, and he didn't even dare to raise his voice to ask.
Zhang Guang didn't answer, he didn't run along the trail too fast, and the speed was just enough for Mu Shaoxuan to look like he could keep up, but he couldn't get close for a while.
After running for a while, Mu Shaoxuan saw that he was silent, so he stopped cautiously.
This is the inner courtyard of the palace, and it is not only his life that is lost by reckless actions, if it is serious, it will affect his family at any time.
At this moment, Zhang Guang, who was running in front, also stopped.
He also turned around strangely, stood in place and glanced at Mu Shaoxuan from afar.
At a distance, it was backlight, Mu Shaoxuan was very strange, he actually saw the glance that Zhang Guang had just looked, and that look actually revealed a frightening cold and cruel meaning.
A chill suddenly crossed his heart, and he saw Zhang Guang suddenly change his tone, and seemed to be panicked and anxious to justify, "Don't be excited, it's not that I'm not me, I didn't deliberately let people spread rumors about her to smear her." ”
Mu Shaoxuan looked at his inexplicable actions, and was confused for a while, stunned in place.
Zhang Guang glanced at him, his eyes were cold and sarcastic.
"This is the palace, how can you ...... How can you bring in a weapon without permission? The voice sounded anxious and worried, and it was lowered in a tone that sounded a little believing pleading.
Mu Shaoxuan's face changed suddenly, although he didn't understand the reason why Zhang Guang had become so strange now, but he could hear the suppressed sentence "bring weapons into the palace without permission" just now.
Doesn't this imply that he has ill intentions that are not good for the people in the palace?
Mu Shaoxuan looked at Zhang Guang in front of him with strange eyes, and suddenly felt blessed to his heart, remembering the strange bird call he suddenly heard before.
His heart jumped a few times, he screamed badly, and was about to turn around and leave quickly.
But at this moment, a somewhat suppressed "whoosh" sound with the cold and sharp breath of iron suddenly sounded.
One of them seemed to be brushing Zhang Guang's sleeve.
Mu Shaoxuan was stunned, and the speed of turning around slowed down.
At this time, there was already a sound of neat footsteps behind Zhang Guang, very light and not fast. Mu Shaoxuan listened to the footsteps, but he shivered excitedly, and cold sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead.
At this time, he wanted to turn around and leave, but there was no way.
Because he suddenly noticed that half of his body was as stiff as a stone, and it was difficult to move half a minute. The legs are more like they have been pinned suddenly.
He stared at Zhang Guang with wide eyes in shock, and when he saw the bright yellow behind Zhang Guang gradually become clear, he finally felt a thick and boundless despair in his heart.
He stared at Zhang Guang angrily and helplessly, his eyes were not only puzzled, but also deeply remorseful. He was too sluggish, and when Zhang Guang mentioned the weapon just now, he should have run as fast as he could.
The trap, Zhang Guang was willing to come out with him today, it turned out to be a trap laid early in the morning.
All the thoughts in Mu Shaoxuan's heart flashed, and behind Zhang Guang, almost after the "whoosh" sound, someone immediately jumped over nervously with a sword.
"Who?"
Mu Shaoxuan closed his eyes in despair, and those who could walk in the palace with a sword in the open, except for the guards beside the Son of Heaven, did not think about it as a second person.
With a long sigh of helplessness, he looked down at the ground.
Under the golden sunlight, a cluster of black iron with a cold light lay quietly on the ground, but the cold light was extremely dazzling.
Hidden Arrows!
Mu Shaoxuan's face changed, and at this time he found that his stiff and numb body and legs were able to move again.
And under the sleeves of his wide coat, there was already an inexplicably more cleverly designed short bow and crossbow.
When the guard who jumped in with his sword and asked when he saw the hidden arrow on the ground that was shining with cold light, his face became even more dignified and ugly than Mu Shaoxuan.
"Protect the Holy One, protect the Holy One!" The guards shouted nervously, and the vigilant horizontal sword retreated, and did not rush over to restrain Zhang Guang or Mu Shaoxuan at the first time.
His call immediately alarmed the guards who were hiding in the shadows to protect Emperor Chu.
In the blink of an eye, I saw that on this quiet path, there were more than ten murderous guards.
Of course, in addition to protecting Emperor Chu in the center, there were also guards who quietly surrounded Zhang Guang and Mu Shaoxuan.
The guards saw that there were still traces of broken sleeve arrows on Zhang Guang's sleeves, but Mu Shaoxuan had a short bow and crossbow hidden under his sleeves, and almost immediately, two guards put the dark sword with cold light on Mu Shaoxuan's neck.
Emperor Chu was surrounded by everyone, and then he slowly walked over.
glanced at Zhang Guang, whose arm was injured and bleeding, and then condensed Mu Shaoxuan, whose face showed a look of despair, hooked his cold lips, "You have the guts, you dare to hide a weapon into the palace, who do you want to assassinate?" ”
I don't know to whom he said this. Because when he said this, the suspicious and angry eyes were lingering on the faces of Zhang Guang and Mu Shaoxuan.
A guard stepped forward and asked, "Your Majesty, what should these two people do?" ”
Emperor Chu glanced at Mu Shaoxuan again, "Put him in prison." ”
His instructions were clear, and Zhang Guang, who was injured in the arm, naturally meant that he was not suspicious and did not need to be arrested.
However, although Emperor Chu did not mean to let people arrest Zhang Guang, Zhang Guang did not dare to hold it up. After seeing Mu Shaoxuan being escorted down by the guards, he knelt heavily on the spot towards Emperor Chu in fear, "It is the sins of the ministers who disturbed the holy car, and the ministers deserve to die." ”
Emperor Chu glanced at him quietly, and said lightly, "It was Mu Shaoxuan who brought weapons into the palace without permission, and he was the one who disturbed the holy driver, how could Zhang Yanshi be damned?" ”
The coercion of the emperor is everywhere, not to mention that Emperor Chu has been in power for more than 20 years, and the backlog of emperors is so heavy.
Even if he didn't do it deliberately, he just swept it plainly, and the momentum that was not angry was enough for Zhang Guang to tremble.
"Your Majesty," Zhang Guang bowed his head and said tremblingly, "The minister dared to guess that Mu Shaoxuan would privately bring weapons into the palace, probably to take revenge on the minister." ”
"Your Majesty happened to be passing by here, so he was affected by the ministers and disturbed the holy driver!"
"yes, it just so happens." Emperor Chu stared at the top of his head, his tone was calm as usual, and he did not have the slightest anger that was disturbed.
Zhang Guang was worried, his eyes quietly turned, he gritted his teeth secretly, and said, "The relationship between Mu Shaoxuan and the ministers is purely a personal grudge. The minister guessed that according to his nature, he should not have ill intentions towards His Majesty, and asked His Majesty to observe and spare him from death. ”
When Emperor Chu heard this, he didn't speak, but glanced at him with a smile.
After a while, he said in a deep voice, "Zhang Yanshi is tolerant. ”
However, this is tolerant on the surface, but the heart underneath is really vicious.
openly pleaded for Mu Shaoxuan, but secretly hinted to him that Mu Shaoxuan should die.
"This matter is handled by relevant personnel, and it is better for Zhang to go back and do his own thing."
Leaving this sentence, Emperor Chu walked past Zhang Guang without hesitation.
When Emperor Chu was far away, so far away that he could no longer see the bright yellow robe that symbolized supreme authority, Zhang Guangcai wiped his forehead and slowly stood up.
After standing up, he didn't rush to the place where the banquet was held, but stayed where he was and turned his head to look at the direction where Mu Shaoxuan was escorted away.
His expression was cold and determined, "Mu Shaoxuan, keep you going this time and never returning." ”
When Zhang Guang sorted out his emotions and continued to go back to the banquet as if nothing had happened, he had just sat down when he heard the sharp and high-pitched voice of the chamberlain in the distance, "Your Majesty has arrived, and the queen has arrived." ”
In the corner of the Imperial Garden, flowers and wine can be seen everywhere, so lively.
The daughters of the sons who were originally sitting in the middle of the table whispered to each other, heard this high-pitched singing, and immediately stood up quietly.
Emperor Chu's solemn face, after seeing this joyful and lively place, also relaxed a little, and quietly swept the past eyes, vaguely revealing unguessable satisfaction.
Obviously, he was satisfied that the matter of arresting Mu Shaoxuan just now had not been reported here.
I am even more satisfied, the sudden accident did not affect the banquet held as usual today
