Chapter Ninety-One: Luring the Snake Out of the Hole

The twenty-fifth day of the second month of the lunar calendar is the eighth day of Moyu and the emperor to stay outside the palace for ten more days. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info is also the third day of leaving Qinxin Building, the old lady and Ji Gangyang leaving.

gave them more than a day to plan and prepare, and they must have been almost prepared! Besides, the day of returning to the palace is also approaching, and there are some things to be solved, and it is time to solve them.

Moyu hired a carriage, put on a hood, and walked alone to the Guanyin Temple outside the city. When passing through an inaccessible official road, he couldn't help but slow down the speed of driving, until a flock of birds flew out of the jungle on both sides of the official road, and Mo Yu shouted "hoo" and grabbed the reins. Lift the curtain of the carriage and take out the usual sword from the carriage.

"Crunch."

Listen closely, it is the sound of a tree being stepped on, coming from the southeast. The sound of breathing is getting closer and heavier, left, right, front, back, the sound is not only the sound of breathing and footsteps, but also the sound of bows and crossbows, horses' hooves. The breeze blew up the white sand that blocked her face, revealing familiar eyes and a fair half of her face. Standing in the wind, his clothes are flying, and he exudes the shadow of the children of the rivers and lakes.

He patted the horse on the buttocks, neighed, raised his hooves and walked slowly forward, disappearing around the bend. The sound of horses' hooves getting closer and closer behind him, and the men in black appearing from the other three sides, also got closer and closer. It seems that a vicious fight is inevitable today, Mo Yu said coldly: "Why don't you give up? ”

The person sitting on the horse said: "I'm sorry Concubine Li, take people's money and people to eliminate disasters, you killed so many of my brothers, it's enough for you to be buried." ”

"Give me a funeral? Do they deserve it too? ”

"Concubine Li is the imperial concubine of the Heavenly Family, and her identity is naturally noble, but the Zhou Kingdom no longer allows human sacrifices, and it is an honor for Concubine Li to have them with her underground." Then as soon as she stretched out her hand, the black-clothed men around her launched an offensive and killed her.

For a while, there were cold cheers, swords, and shouts of killing, and the birds in the bushes ran away, and the beasts fled. The sword pointed out, sometimes as light as a wicker, sometimes as hard as a shield, that cold and murderous aura through the bones, so that he was sitting on the horse was shocked. This kind of murderous aura is too familiar, because this is the murderous aura that only they have, this Concubine Li is just a palace princess, even if she knows some martial arts, she shouldn't have such a powerful murderous aura. But he was not allowed to think about it, for all his men before him had fallen. The white-clothed woman in front of her pointed directly at him on the horse, and said coldly, "It's your turn." ”

He couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, this woman, I'm afraid even he is not an opponent. "Concubine Li, I'll give you one last chance, if you die obediently, maybe I can keep your whole corpse."

"Don't say it too early, it's not certain who will die first. Not to mention that I can't kill you, I dare to come out alone today, do you think I will not make any preparations? ”

"Niangniang, Yetian, who protects you has entered the palace, who else will save you? Today next year, I will burn a stick of incense for you here to pay tribute to your beautiful concubine. After saying that, the man in black moved his feet, left the pedals, and jumped on his toes with the power of the horse's back, and then attacked Moyu.

One black and one white, like two chess pieces on a chessboard, no one has the upper hand. The man in black is full of strength, the sword move is sharp, and the ink jade is not bad, the long sword is played, dazzling, the two sides have passed hundreds of moves, and finally the two sides slapped each other, and the ink jade slashed backwards, hitting the cypress tree behind him. The cypress trees were shaken, and the green leaves fell down. The hood on Mo Yu's head fell, and he lowered his head and spat out two mouthfuls of blood.

The man in black walked in front of her and stood ten steps away, and said with a smile: "Concubine Li, I have to admit that your martial arts are very high, but unfortunately you lost in strength, and a woman's strength can never compare to a man." ”

"Huh." Mo Yu raised his hand, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said as he looked up: "You're right, a woman's strength can't compare to a man's, but you don't know that a man's brain can never compare to a woman's." ”

When Mo Yu's entire face was raised and completely appeared in the eyes of the man in black, the man in black said incredulously: "You, you, you are not Concubine Li." Then he suddenly thought of something, and exclaimed, "It was Concubine Li who was in that carriage just now." ”

"Haha, you're not stupid. I guess it's going to be a long way off, haha. ”

The man in black was not in a hurry, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Niangniang will definitely return to the city when she goes out of the city, and I am still waiting for her here." ”

"How else can you men be stupid? Concubine Li said to go to Guanyin Temple, do you really believe that she is going to Guanyin Temple? And, hmph, there's more to the city than that. Die! As soon as he finished speaking, the long sword was reinvigorated and attacked the man in black.

The man in black couldn't break free, so he had to continue to fight with the fake Concubine Li, but if he continued like this, this mission would fail, and Concubine Li would return to the palace the day after tomorrow, and it would be even more difficult to start when the time came.

The fake concubine is fighting to the death, and she will not give up until she kills the man in black. But things seemed to be out of her control, and on the official road in the distance, the sound of horses' hooves was heard again, and immediately a man in black was waving his horsewhip vigorously, and ran quickly in the direction of Guanyin Temple. said "not good" in her heart, and was about to perform light skills to stop the man in black who came out, but she was dragged back by the man in black behind her, blocking her way.

The man in black on the horse waved his whip violently, eager for the wind under his feet to fly to his destination immediately. He has been hiding in the woods, and when he heard that Concubine Li was fake, he realized that he had been fooled again. Regardless of whether Concubine Li went to Guanyin Temple or not, she must have not gone far in the carriage, riding a horse to catch up with the carriage, it should be too late, Concubine Li must die today, otherwise, she will not be able to give the Queen Mother an errand when she returns to the palace.

Fortunately, God had eyes, and finally let him see the familiar carriage. The man in black clamped the horse's belly, and soon caught up, and came to the front of the carriage, and it was Concubine Li who was driving the carriage. The reason why he was sure was because although Concubine Li was also wearing the same clothes as the fake Concubine Li, she was not wearing a hat, and he would not admit that familiar and beautiful face.

Suddenly in the way, Mo Yu quickly grabbed the reins, and the horse immediately raised its front hooves, neighed, and slowly landed. Mo Yu looked up at the person who appeared in front of him, and smiled helplessly: "It's really not a dead heart, dare to catch up single-handedly?" ”

The black-clothed man on the horse clasped his fists with both hands and said in a deep voice: "I have heard for a long time that Concubine Li's mother has outstanding martial arts, and she is not talented, and she wants to ask for a lesson or two, and I hope that Niangniang will not refuse." ”

"You dressed up like this to compete with me in martial arts, do you think I will believe this reason? You don't dare to show your true face, and you don't dare to explain your intentions, indicating that I know you, and you are afraid that if you lose in a while, you will directly expose your original intention of killing me. ”

The lie was exposed, and the man in black no longer treated each other with pretenses, and said coldly: "How can we know our killers?" ”

Mo Yu shook his head and said with a smile: "You're not, the person I've been in contact with the most recently is the killer of the rivers and lakes, and you don't have the murderous aura that they kill people all year round." Say, who are you? ”

How could the man in black tell her who he was, there was nothing to talk about, so he said, "Die!" After that, he attacked Moyu. Mo Yu leaped forward, dodging his attack, and the long sword was unsheathed, aiming directly at the black-clothed man at his feet.

It is also a black hundred, such as the black and white chess pieces facing off on the chessboard, but it is not equal, the power of black chess is greater than that of white chess, and after a while, Mo Yu was on his shoulder, and he was hit by a sword from the man in black. The man in black wondered, didn't he say that Concubine Li's martial arts were outstanding? Why was he stabbed by himself after only twenty moves? With a sigh in his heart, he came back to his senses and secretly said, "It's not good, I've been fooled."

He was about to return to his horse and run away, but as soon as he got on the horse, he was kicked out of the back with a heavy kick, and his center of gravity was unstable, and he rolled on the ground a few times, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and when he was about to stand up, several knives were already on his neck. At the same time, a group of guards surrounded one person and dismounted. As soon as the man in black saw the bright yellow figure dismounting, he closed his eyes in despair, and his life was at an end.

The emperor in bright yellow clothes walked up to the man in black, looked at him condescendingly, and then said to the left and right, "Take off his face towel." ”

The guard took off the face towel of the man in black according to the order, revealing the face he expected, and the emperor said with satisfaction: "Sure enough, it's you, Gonggong An, I didn't expect such a master to be hidden in the palace." Dare to stab Concubine Li, the courage is not small! Say, "Who commanded you?" ”

The man in black said: "No one instructed the minions, it was the minions who wanted to kill Concubine Li. ”

"Hmph, do you think I'll believe you? There is no communication between you and Concubine Li, what is a slave doing to kill his master for no reason, and Concubine Li is not your master yet. ”

Gonggong An looked into the distance, Yetian was bandaging Moyu's wounds, his eyes flashed, and he shouted: "Your Majesty, the slave is thinking about the emperor, Concubine Li and Yetian have actually secretly crossed Chen Cang a long time ago, and they are embarrassed, and she has your back, Your Majesty." ”

The emperor turned around and looked behind him, Mo Yu was also looking up and smiling at her, and he knew in his heart. turned around and said angrily: "If you can't assassinate Concubine Li, and slander and slander, you really deserve to die." I asked you one last time, who ordered you to come? ”

"Your Majesty, the slave's words are true, and Dan's heart is full. Don't be blinded by the demon concubine, she will hurt the emperor! ”

Too lazy to listen to his cry again, the emperor directly ordered: "Press him back." ”

Father-in-law An was pressed up, walked to the carriage on the side, and when he passed by Mo Yu's side, he shouted: "Adulterer ****, you must not die well." ”

Mo Yu shook her head helplessly, although she has that thief heart, but she also abides by her duty, if such a rumor spreads in the city of Tokyo, then she really has to die if she doesn't die. "Father-in-law An, in fact, there is only one way back to the city, and it is not that you are lucky enough to catch up with me, but that I am waiting for you here on purpose. In fact, it is not easy for you, if you are not forced to do so, you will not make a move, after all, you are also old, and your legs and feet are not as good as before. But the fact that you attempted murder cannot be changed no matter what, no matter how you try to find a reason to distract the emperor, it will not help. ”

Yetian waved his hand and instructed the guards, "Take it down!" ”

The emperor walked up to Moyu, looked at her red-dyed arm, and said with concern, "Is your arm okay?" ”

Mo Yu shook her head, "It's okay. "My heart is even more sad. As soon as he appeared, what he cared about was not her injuries or her life, but whether he caught anyone and whether the matter was done.

"That's good, let's go back to the palace!"

Mo Yu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I can't go back yet, the ten-day period has not yet arrived." ”

"Are you bargaining with me?" The emperor was slightly angry, did she not want to go back to the palace so much? Push three and four to resist. "I said you would go back today."

"Your Majesty, I'll come back the day after tomorrow!" Mo Yu lowered his head and said softly: "The emperor will be interrogated after he goes back, and the queen mother will ...... I guess I'd better not show up. ”

Mo Yu is a kind-hearted person, the emperor only then thought that Gonggong An is the queen mother's person, since it was Gonggong An who came to kill people, it must have been instructed by the queen mother, during the interrogation, Moyu was sandwiched between the queen mother and the emperor, and it was indeed difficult. "It's because I'm in too much of a hurry, you're right, it's better not to show up for tomorrow's interrogation. Then let's go back the day after tomorrow, so many days have been waiting, it's not bad for this day. Let's go, let's go into town together. ”

It is false to say that they are not nervous, Mo Yu and Ye Tian glanced at each other, and they both understood in their hearts. Then he got on the carriage and walked to the capital.

In the evening, the night came back very late and very late. Mo Yu asked about the results of the interrogation, and as she expected, Grandpa An still insisted that there was no mastermind, and everything was his own doing. In fact, the facts are obvious, the queen mother is the mastermind, and she will pull another Ji family, but Gonggong An doesn't say it, and the emperor can't do anything about them. Even if Father-in-law An said it, he can't do anything with them now, the Queen Mother is his mother, and the Ji family provides him with military salaries, and no one can offend.

Mo Yu picked up the scissors, cut off the excess wick in the candle flame, and said quietly: "Actually, the emperor's purpose is not necessarily to bite out the Queen Mother and the Ji family, his purpose is to use this matter to suppress the Queen Mother and the Guo family, just warn the Ji family, after all, on both sides, he still has to rely on them now." ”

Yetian frowned and shook his head puzzled, "I still don't understand." ”

"How did you become a privy envoy?" Mo Yu glanced at him with slanted eyes and said, "Why do I think you are pretending to be confused with me!" You're not going to test me, are you? ”

Yetian blinked his innocent eyes and said, "No, I really don't understand." ”

All right! Let's take her as a test! "The Guo family dares to be so arrogant, one is to rely on the clansmen of the former emperor, and the other is to rely on the queen mother to support them. If Gonggong An suppresses the Queen Mother, then the Queen Mother will have more or less less right to speak in front of the emperor in the future, which is very convenient for the emperor to rectify the Guo clan. As for the Ji family, the Ji family's hand was stretched too long, and he went to his backyard to warn them about this matter, the king is the king, the minister is the minister, and don't care about what shouldn't be managed. But on both sides, the emperor didn't dare to do anything to them, and the queen mother was anxious, and with a shout, the Guo clan raised troops to rebel, which was also a very scary force. And the Ji family, the emperor should have reached some kind of agreement with them, otherwise why do you think the Ji family can stay quietly until now? ”

Ye Tian held his cheeks in his hands, watching Mo Yu analyze the head and head of the way, his thinking was clear, and his mouth was like a river. I knew she was a very smart person, but I didn't expect to be so good in politics. "No wonder you're hiding and not going back, if you go back now, it's really hard to be a man. On one side is his mother's family, and on the other side is his mother-in-law, in case Father-in-law An doesn't stand up to the two of them, you will not be human. ”

Holding her arm and checking it, the wound had been medicated and bandaged, and Yetian was worried: "Does the wound still hurt?" ”

Mo Yu looked away, "This pain is nothing?" ”

"You're so stupid, why do you have to get stabbed?"

"This knife is what the emperor wants, without this knife, Gonggong An is at most like what he said to learn martial arts."

"No wonder he said he had to wait until you started the fight before coming out."

Mo Yu looked at the little blood stains oozing from his hands, and said: "If you don't even fight, in case Gonggong An says that he is under the will of the Queen Mother to protect me from returning to the palace, then today's show to lure the snake out of the hole will not be in vain." ”
