It was only half an hour before dawn, and two figures dangled out of the Tooth Devouring Prison in the Yongqian Palace, one of them was dressed in the civil uniform of the inner servant, and the other was wearing the light armor of the guard. Mu Yan was truly surprised, this man had obviously suffered a lot of torture, but after a short nap, those wounds disappeared. After that, this man asked Mu Yan Zhenzi to attract guards, and the two escaped from the Tooth Eater Prison with ease.

"This is the middle city of Miyagi, and you have to go through four city gates from here, and each gate is heavily guarded, and there is still a garrison on the tower, and it is impossible for you to break through. ”

"Can you take me out?"

"I'm not completely sure, so let's try it first. "Mu Yanzhen has a token given by Xiao Qiyu on his body, but he has never used it.

Seeing that he got the token in his hand, the young man said, "This is given to you by the Emperor of the Northern Regions." ”

"Hmm. ”

"Since you have been locked up by him, and now you are still using the token he gave you to go out, isn't this a self-defeating trap?"

"The people in the Tooth Eater Prison are all secret prisoners in the palace, and the situation of the prisoners among them cannot be easily passed on, so I guess the guards here don't know that I am being locked up by His Majesty. I'll try it later, and if it's not dangerous, you'll come back. ”

Now, when the city gates are opened, the first of the four gates.

"Lord Muyan, why did you arrive in Midtown so early?"

"Your Majesty asked me to leave the palace on an errand. ”

The guard looked at the sky, "It's just dawn, and Your Majesty asked Lord Muyan to go out on an errand?"

"Yes, yes, I don't dare to delay Your Majesty's errand. ”

"But Lord Muyan, the last general has not received any orders from His Majesty, do you have any evidence from Your Majesty?"

"Credentials?" It seems that the news really didn't get out, Mu Yanzhen pretended to look at his waist, and said in a panic: "Oh no, I forgot the token that His Majesty gave me." ”

After confirming, Mu Yanzhen came back with the young man again, just now it was one person, and now there is not only more tokens but also another person, but the gatekeeper is refreshing, and he will be released after asking a few words. Mu Yan really breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't expect this thing to be so good. In this way, the two of them walked steadily in the palace, the shape of the Yongqian Palace was huge, and when the two of them walked to the Kaiyao Gate, it was already past two o'clock, and the guards here looked at the token as if they were thoughtful.

"What, this token is wrong?"

"Lord Muyan's token is given to His Majesty personally, of course there is no problem, let it go!" the gatekeeper waved his hand and got out of the way.

Mu Yanzhen was a little nervous as he walked, and said, "By the way, I don't know what your name is, my name is Mu Yanzhen." ”

When the young man heard this, he suddenly raised his hand to block his way.

"What's wrong?"

"Not right here. ”

"Isn't that right?"

There seemed to be the sound of armor gathering around, and Mu Yanzhen looked up again to see that the city wall was full of archers all around, and the Xingqing Gate in front had been closed. Ji Hao appeared on the Que Tower, he held a sword in one hand, and his eyes were fixed on the two.

"What's going on? How can this be? Did they already know that we had escaped?"

The young man glanced at Mu Yanzhen, if there was not a problem with this person, or there was a problem with his token.

The young man grabbed Mu Yanzhen and clasped it on his chest, and whispered, "Offended." ”

"Thief, don't be caught yet!" Ji Hao's voice came from the Que Tower.

Thousands of guards on the city wall also shouted in unison: "Capture with your hands tied, capture with your hands tied, capture with your hands tied!"

"If you want to die, I will die with him. The young man's voice shook in the palace, he tightened his grip on the man's neck, and the strength of his hand did not decrease at all, dragging Mu Yanzhen to the next city gate.

"Don't stop yet!"

Suddenly there was a rain of arrows at the head of the city, completely blocking the back road of the two.

"General," Adjutant General Han Ru walked up and asked, "What do you think?"

"What to do?"

"If we let out the arrows, we will inevitably hurt Lord Muyan, but this man is extremely capable of close combat, and if we let the defenders under the city surround us first, I am afraid that casualties will be inevitable. ”

"Mu Yan is really nothing, but he is just a disobedient dog by His Majesty's side, and he has no more value from the moment he rejected His Majesty yesterday. ”

"General?" Han Ru was surprised, "You want to?"

"Ordered the arrows to be released. ”

"Do you want to ask Your Majesty for your Majesty's order first? The last general heard that His Majesty was coming to Midtown. ”

"I said, release the arrows! ”

Han Ru clenched his fists, "The last general will obey." ”

Mu Yanzhen looked at the person behind him, "It seems that you can't escape." ”

"Even so, I won't let you go easily. ”

"Since I came here with you, I thought that there would be such a moment, I was a useless person in the palace, and no one would care even if I died, but there are still people in your family waiting for the rhino beads to save their lives, and if you are caught again, there will be no chance to go back. ”

The young man suddenly lowered his eyes and looked at the man, "I believe in you." ”

"What?"

"The rhino beads are buried in the wasteland behind the ruined temple when I was captured, and there is a dry well two zhang away next to it, if you find it in the future, please keep it for me temporarily, and if someone comes to me in the future, can you give the rhino beads to her for me?"

"What are you going to do?"

"You are the first person I believe in this city, and I hope you will not fail my trust. ”

When the young man let go of the man and was about to speak, a second round of arrows came unexpectedly.

"Be careful!"

The young man pushed Mu Yanzhen back, and he quickly drew his sword to block the arrows in the sky.

Ji Hao gestured again, and the third round of arrow rain fell in response. Caring about it so much, seeing the gap on his side, the young man hurriedly pulled Mu Yanzhen behind him, and when the sword blade rose again, there were already three more feathers on his back.

"You're hurt?"

"Take care of yourself. ”

It's really difficult, Ji Hao took the Xuangong on Han Ru's back and stood up, and three arrows shot at once. Han Ru originally thought that this person was aiming at the thief who stole the pearls, but he didn't think it was Mu Yanzhen.

"General!"

"All the shepherds deserve to die, and this evil is just removed. ”

The young man noticed that he had blocked the first arrow, but he could not stop the second and third arrows that followed, and the man who fired the arrow was extraordinary, not to mention that he was now wounded.

"Well, what weight do you have in your hand?"

"Why did you do it to your own people?"

Ji Hao threw away his bow and arrows, and said proudly: "He is an outcast-"

"Ji Hao, you are so bold!"

It's Xiao Qiyu's voice, it's time to come, it's still here. Ji Hao saw Xiao Qiyu walking up quickly with the silver qi guards, and he still couldn't help but be terrified.

"See Your Majesty, this is a land of blood light, it is better to ask Your Majesty to take refuge for a while. ”

"Stand down. ”

"Your Majesty!"

"Ji Hao," Xiao Qiyu's eyes were glowing with a golden halo, and Ji Hao hurriedly bowed to the ground when he saw this, "When you go back, this emperor will treat you for the great crime of rebellion!"

"The last general is at the disposal of His Majesty. ”

Xiao Qiyu stood at the head of the city and shouted: "You'd better send people back to the emperor, the emperor may spare you!"

At this time, Mu Yanzhen was half-held in the arms of the young man, he hesitated for a while, and replied, "Let me go." ”

"Do you still dare to negotiate terms with the emperor?"

"I said, either let me out, or I'll die with this man. ”

Damn! Xiao Qiyu held the city wall tightly with both hands, and there was no hesitation between his eyebrows, only anger.

"Open the gates. ”

"Your Majesty—"

"The emperor said to open the city gate, Ji Hao, can't you hear it?"

"Prepare me again. ”

Xiao Qiyu pointed, "This emperor gave you the best horse in the palace, then you plan to return the emperor's things to this emperor?"

"I won't return the rhino beads. ”

"What the emperor said is the truth of Mu Yan!"

Ji Hao and Han Ru, who were present, were shocked, and they didn't expect Xiao Qiyu to say such a thing.

The young man looked down at the man in his arms and replied, "You withdraw the defenders, and when I get out of the last gate, I will naturally leave him behind." ”

"How can the emperor believe you?"

"All I want is rhino beads, and now that I have it, I don't want to hurt anyone. ”

"Okay, that's a deal. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, someone brought a horse to the young man, and the young man knew at a glance that it was a good horse. He first helped Mu Yanzhen up, and then sat behind him, rode his horse and galloped down the next two palace gates. And Xiao Qiyu and Ji Hao and others followed, and when they reached the last palace gate, there was no trace of the young man, leaving only Mu Yanzhen leaning on the side of the city wall.

"What a waste, this time the emperor must clean you up!" Xiao Qiyu dismounted, and was about to open his mouth to scold again, but when he saw that this person's clothes were stained with blood, "Mu Yanzhen-"

He was hit by an arrow in his left chest and shoulder, Xiao Qiyu knew at a glance that the arrow in his left chest was dangerous, and Mu Yanzhen didn't know anything about it.

"Someone, where is the medical officer?

Luo and Yue, who were about to enter the palace, saw a galloping horse from a distance, the man was wearing silver armor, the arrow on his back had not been pulled out, and there were still a lot of blood stains on the hem of his clothes.

"It's wrong," Luo Yinhuan, who didn't have time to stop him, shouted: "Could it be that there is a change in the palace?"

However, as soon as the two entered the palace gate, they saw Xiao Qiyu holding the sword around Ji Hao's neck.

"Your Majesty, are you alright?"

Xiao Qiyu's face was full of anger, and he didn't pay attention to the Luo and Yue who appeared, he only asked: "Why do you do it privately? Why did you order the arrows to be released!"

"Your Majesty, Weichen is in charge of the safety of the inner palace, and since he knows that the felons in the palace have fled, he naturally has some arrangements. ”

"You know what I'm asking. ”

Ji Hao's waist was straight, and he responded calmly: "This is the royal city, and Weichen is the guard here, and there is no one else in Weichen's eyes except His Majesty." If His Majesty thinks that Wechen has done something wrong, you can kill Wechen now to uphold the power of heaven, and Wechen will definitely die without complaint. ”

"Do you think the emperor wouldn't dare?"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty......" Fortunately, Luo Yinhuan quickly hugged Xiao Qiyu's arm, otherwise Ji Hao's head would have really moved, "Your Majesty is angry, General Ji Hao has been loyal to his family for several generations, and he has made many contributions to the Northern Regions since his grandfather's grandfather's grandfather's grandfather, not to mention that now General Ji has no heirs, does Your Majesty really want to let the dignified Ji family be destroyed?" Feeling that this manpower was a little relieved, Luo Yinhuan continued: " And General Ji Hao's loyalty can be said to be the sun and the moon, the world can be proven, but the martial man's temperament is always straightforward, if General Ji can't comply with His Majesty's wishes for a while, Your Majesty will also be relieved, after all, this head will never grow again. ”

With a 'clang', the long sword in Xiao Qiyu's hand fell to the ground, and he got on his horse and went straight to the palace.

Luo Yinhuan's three souls finally returned to most of the time, and asked directly: "I said, General Ji, why did you offend Your Majesty, why is there such a big battle?"

"The man who stole the rhino beads ran away. ”

"Ran away? From this Yongqian Palace? How is this possible?"

"He took Mu Yanzhen hostage, and it was His Majesty who ordered the city gate to be opened, and prepared a fast horse for the man, and the man came out of the palace gate just before you arrived. ”

In this way, what he saw with Yue Qianlong just now turned out to be the man in black?

"Your Majesty wants to punish you for this?"

"This," Ji Hao lowered his head in frustration, "Don't mention it." ”

"Chitaki, it seems that Your Majesty ...... today"

Luo Yinhuan turned his head and saw Yue Qianlong's shadow, and he screamed in his heart that it was not good.
