Chapter 456: The Man Who Intercepted Halfway
"Huh?!"
Mo Zi's face twitched, looking at Mu Xiyue's calm face, and instantly suspected that he had heard it wrong, since he had already seen through it, he knew that it was a trap, why did he go in and send him to death?
"It's rare for the thirteenth prince to work hard, if we don't go, isn't it a little disappointing?"
While Mu Xiyue was talking, she reached out and took the letter just now, approached the shaking candle center, looked at the burning paper, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but hook up a light smile, but this smile was a little weird in this situation.
"But Miss, now that the palace is dangerous, I'm afraid that the slave and maid alone won't be able to protect Miss!"
Mo Zi was a little embarrassed on her face, not that she confessed, but after previous training, she knew very well how cruel and fierce those people around the Thirteenth Prince were, and they were really powerless.
"Otherwise, the slave maid will go to the young master of the palace!"
At this moment, Mo Zi thought of Gong Yifei again, and looked towards Mu Xiyue as he spoke, but the hope on his face sank again.
"No, Gong Yifei and Choyue stay here to protect Yan'er, I have my own arrangements!"
While speaking, Mu Xiyue turned to the dresser, stretched out her hand to open the innermost drawer, and the stable discharge was the four treasures of the study given by the emperor when she entered the palace last time.
Mu Xiyue reached out and picked up the pencil case, the expression on her face changed slightly, and the surface looked no different from an ordinary pencil case, but when Mu Xiyue's fingertips were placed on the inconspicuous bulge on the side, the bottom layer of the brocade box bounced up, and there was a golden token lying inside!
"This ......"
Mo Zi was almost blinded, and looked at the token in Mu Xiyue's hand with a stunned expression, speechless in surprise.
"This fast token, you can enter the backyard of the palace from the secret passage of Xuande Gate, this place is also the least crowded, can't you still handle it?"
Mu Xiyue said, looking at Mo Zi, the corners of her lips were hooked, and a little smile appeared on her face.
When the emperor handed over the four treasures of the study to Mu Xiyue, the expression on her face that made people care had already attracted her attention, and Mu Xiyue looked through it carefully after she came back, and sure enough, she found the secret.
In the past few days, studying the base map of the palace, Mu Xiyue seems to understand something, the final point of the secret path is the closest to Duanfei Niangniang's Fuhua Palace, and the emperor's consciousness is very clear, that is, he wants to let people go in and rescue Duanfei Niangniang and the Seventh Princess at a time of crisis.
"In this case, the slave is a little sure!"
Mo Zi has also had some grasp of the terrain of the palace in the past few days, and with this great favorable condition, it is naturally not a problem.
"Okay, you go and get ready, let's go immediately!"
While Mu Xiyue was talking, she put the token in her hand in her pocket, watched Mo Zi leave, called Zhihua Zhiyan in and gave a few orders, and changed into men's clothes.
Although Shangpin Pavilion is not a safe place at the moment, but now that Gong Yifei and Chopping Moon are here, Mu Xiyue is also relieved, plus Zhiyan has changed his clothes to temporarily replace it, and now it seems that Shangpin Pavilion is not unusual as usual, and even the eyeliner that the thirteen princes have placed everywhere can't be seen.
Packed up, both of them changed into the most relaxed outfits, Mu Xiyue held the token given by the emperor in her hand, hid the Ji blade in the cuffs and went out with Mo Zi from the dark passage, the carriage was too conspicuous, and the two ran directly, although Mu Xiyue had no internal strength, but after all, she had practiced martial arts, plus Mo Zi took it, and it was only a pillar of incense around the time, and she could also arrive.
The two crossed the street, wanted to enter the alley through the shortcut, and were about to go inside, but suddenly saw a black shadow suddenly appear in front of them, and stopped in an instant, on guard.
"You're so daring!"
The clear male voice came, making Mu Xiyue's face move, this voice seemed to be a little familiar, but for a while, he didn't want to come, and his brows couldn't help frowning.
"If I really know you, I know that you won't be able to hold your breath!"
The man spoke again, and at the same time turned around, looking at Mu Xiyue and Mo Zi with stunned faces, the corners of his lips were hooked, and a light smile appeared on his face.
"Ding, Ding Jie!"
When Mu Xiyue recognized Ding Jie, her hanging heart instantly sank, and at the same time, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"You woman, it's really hard to grasp, it's always so unexpected!"
Ding Jie looked at Mu Xiyue, the expression in his eyes changed a little, his voice was still calm and indifferent, looking at her with a flickering expression in his eyes, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face. 、
Looking up at Ding Jie, Mu Xiyue didn't speak, his evaluation of himself has always been so unsatisfactory, and he can be regarded as used to it.
As he spoke, Ding Jie's whistle sounded, and a pure black horse galloped over from not far away.
"Still stunned what to do, come up!"
Ding Jie turned over and got on his horse and stretched out his hand towards Mu Xiyue.
After receiving Mo Yichen's letter, Ding Jie hurried to the place he designated, if it weren't for Mu Xiyue being so stunned, he really thought that the two of them had discussed, it seems that this world is really well-intentioned.
The stunned spirit was returned by Ding Jie, Mu Xiyue looked up, and the expression in her eyes changed slightly.
Since knowing that Ding Jie was Mo Yichen's friend, Mu Xiyue had a little more trust in him, plus he helped Su Qianyue before, and now Mu Xiyue also regarded him as his friend, didn't ask much, and stretched out his hand.
One horse and three people galloped quickly in the night, and the night wind was a little cold, whistling in his ears, but it calmed Mu Xiyue's heart.
"In general, in this case, how far away people are, it's good for you, you still have to come to death even though you don't have the ability to protect yourself, it's really incomprehensible!"
While riding the horse, Ding Jie's voice sounded in his ears, making Mu Xiyue retract his thoughts slightly, and at the same time, listening to his words, the expression in his eyes changed slightly.
"In this case, the Thirteen Princes must also control Shangpin Pavilion, if we leave rashly, I am afraid that we will be imprisoned by him like the ladies in the palace, the reason why he has not done anything to us is that he still has some illusions about Mo Yichen, trying to use me to pressure him to surrender."
Mu Xiyue's voice was calm, as if the place they were going to was not a dangerous place, but just a tour of the mountains and rivers.
Ding Jie was stunned, looked sideways at Mu Xiyue, and the expression in his eyes changed: "Then you know that the palace is more dangerous, why do you still want to go?" ”
With a chuckle, Mu Xiyue's eyes flickered, and under the moonlight, her clear eyes became darker and brighter, forcing people to calm down.
"Because, there are still cherished people, after all, this killing has no results, both sides are prepared, and it is not a sure thing."
Between the words, Mu Xiyue's voice brought out a bit of solemnity, cherished people, I don't know if they are talking about Mo Yichen or Duanfei Niangniang, or, both!
Ding Jie's face was slightly stunned, then he turned his face, and the horsewhip in his hand slammed on the horse's buttocks, and the already fast speed was even more improved.
The distance of a pillar of incense is now half saved, and the entrance to this secret passage happens to be a dense and tall grass, and the horses are tied to the stump of the tree, just enough to hide.
"Let's go!"
Ding Jie took out the fire fold and entered the cave first, the cave was pitch black, even if he held the fire fold in his hand, he could only see a small piece of the surrounding area clearly.
Mu Xiyue and Mo Zi followed closely behind, facing such a dark environment, it was impossible to say that they were not afraid, but now they couldn't help but be afraid or not, since they came, there was no room to retreat.
In the dark passage, the road was quite stable, Mu Xiyue and Mo Zi followed all the way, and no one stopped them, and they subconsciously clenched the token in their hands, and they couldn't let go of their hearts.
"Who's coming?"
Mu Xiyue was thinking about it, when a cold drink sounded in the empty dark passage, which made her tremble.
Ding Jie's face paused slightly, the fire fold in his hand shone forward, and two guards in gold armor stood in the narrowest place in front, their eyes were a little fierce, and now they were looking at them with a defensive expression.
The guards standing here didn't seem to be the only two of them, but the narrowest part blocked the person, revealing only the figure of two people.
Following the light of the fire, Mu Xiyue also saw the expressions of the two guards clearly, her heart sank, and she strode forward.
"Ordered by the emperor to go to the secret place!"
Mu Xiyue held the token in her hand next to the fire fold as she spoke, so that the two of them could see it clearly.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
The guards saw clearly that it was the emperor's token, and hurriedly saluted and let him go, as if he was still a little excited, and when he was on duty in this secret passage for so many years, he finally used it, reflecting his own value.
Mu Xiyue took back the token, and the three of them passed in turn, and when they arrived on the other side, they suddenly became bright, there were more than a dozen guards on both sides on standby, and even, the walls on both sides were also carved into rooms, and from a distance, there were tables, chairs and benches for resting,
Different from Mu Xiyue's concern, Ding Jie first looked at the two walls that were blocked just now, and when he came over, he realized that the tightened place should have a thickness of seven feet, and no matter how deep the internal force is, I am afraid it will not be easily pushed away.
"Get the mechanism here in order, there's a good chance you'll be able to use it tonight."
Mu Xiyue was about to move forward at the moment when she seemed to think of something, turned around and said to the head of the guard, I don't know why, she always felt that something unexpected would happen tonight.
"Yes!"
The leader of the guards clenched his fists, with a bit of respect in his voice, Mu Xiyue may not know, but the leader of the guards is clear, the role of the token is not a simple pass, but a token of real power that can command thousands of troops!
Seeing that a team of people was in good spirits, Mu Xiyue breathed a sigh of relief, turned to look at Ding Jie, and several people continued to walk inside, this time, it didn't take long to get out of it, and they arrived at the other end.
This exit is different from other places, it is not covered like the previous entrance, but it is a dry well, but there is a soft ladder at the bottom of the well, and it is not difficult to go up.
"I didn't expect that this old emperor is really a thief!"
Ding Jie looked at this dry well, the corners of his lips brought out a bit of joke, and his face did not have the depth and solemnity of when he entered the sea of swords.
"Miss, are we going to Concubine Duan's place?"
Mo Zi saw that there was no one around him watching, breathed a sigh of relief, turned to look at Mu Xiyue, and was ready to do a big job.
"Don't go to the Fuhua Palace, we'll go to the Yanshou Palace now!"
Mu Xiyue's eyes flickered, and as she spoke, her brows furrowed slightly, as if she was still thinking.
