Chapter 552: Washing
The institution was destroyed, and the way out of the West Mountain was cut off from the inside and outside.
Mu Peng didn't understand why Wang Shisan did this, and Wang Shisan didn't explain, so he hid the several large bags of things he brought back, including baked cakes, salted meat, and water, in a few nearby passages just in case.
About an hour later, Wang 13 and Mu Peng returned along the same route with two big bags.
The sunrise and sunset could not be seen in the dungeon, but whoever had waited so long should have realized that their group had left much longer than expected.
Halfway through, they met the person sent by the lord of Baiyunwu to answer them.
"Why is it just the two of you?"
Wang 13 and Mu Peng had already reconciled their rhetoric, and one shouted: "Something is wrong, Shang Mushan has taken refuge in Li Chengyun, hurry up and report to the dock master!" Another cried and said, "Everyone is defenseless, there are heavy casualties, my cousin is ......."
The two people who were ordered to come to answer couldn't help but be shocked, and said in unison: "How many others are dead?" ”
Wang 13 nodded bitterly: "Shang Mushan set up a poisonous plan, and the two of us saw that the situation was wrong, and fought desperately to get out of the encirclement......"
"Then go back and make it clear to the dock master, his old man is in a hurry."
Calculate that the people left behind haven't eaten for almost ten hours, so it's no wonder they're in a hurry.
"How's it going over there?" Wang 13 said tentatively.
One said: "It's still the same, only the dock master took Dongfang out for a trip, and came back to say that the enemy already knew that we were hiding in the inner library, and sent thousands of crossbowmen to ambush at the door of the inner library, and we couldn't rush out. Don't dare to come in. ”
The four of them quickened their pace and returned to the dungeon in a short time.
Two torches were lit in the hall where the Lord of Baiyunwu temporarily stayed, and it was a little depressing in silence.
Wang 13 shouted "Dock Master" from Yuanyuan outside. The few people who were left behind were taken aback.
The Lord of Baiyunwu was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, and when he heard the sound, he opened his eyes and said, "Hongguang, they are finally willing to come back?" ”
Dongfang also heard that it was Wang Thirteen's voice, frowned, bowed and said, "Go down and take a look." ”
"No, call them in and talk. Something must have happened. ”
As soon as the words fell, Wang Shisan and Mu Peng had already climbed into the hall with a roll. Without waiting for the Baiyunwu Lord to ask, Wang 13 began to talk in detail.
"Dock Master, last night started off very well. After I got out of the secret passage, I found a deserted courtyard in the West Mountain, and then sneaked into several nearby mountain villas, and prepared all the food and drink. Hongguang said that everyone waited in the same place first. He's going to take someone to the city to find out the news. ”
"Originally, I said that I would take my subordinates down, but who knew that my subordinates just had a drug addiction and needed to take the Divine Pill, Hongguang couldn't wait, so he casually ordered someone to accompany him."
The two of them walked for several hours, and they didn't come back until dawn and brought Shang Mushan back. Listening to what they meant, there were too many guards around Mi Jingyang in the palace before. Shang Mou's good deeds were unsuccessful, and he fled outside the palace alone. We have been contacted by many parties to meet with the dock owner as soon as possible. ”
The Lord of Baiyunwu said in a deep voice: "You speak slowly, how about Shang Mushan?" ”
The master of Baiyunwu is very suspicious, and at other times, he must suspect that Wang Shisan and Mu Peng have ghosts in their hearts and do not tell the truth. But Wang 13 pulled out Shang Mu Shanlai, and the first thing that came to mind for the Baiyunwu Lord was the situation he was facing.
If no one revealed his whereabouts to Mi Jingyang, how could he have targeted Neiku early on and sent so many archers to ambush outside?
Although Shang Mushan has been loyal for so many years and can smear his liver and brain, but the hearts of people are separated from the belly, and the facts he has seen with his own eyes make the lord of Baiyunwu have to doubt: Shang Mushan, his chief manager, is greedy for life and afraid of death, whether it is for the sake of glory and wealth, he actually betrayed him.
Wang 13 explained the situation at that time in detail, but he had been staying where he had stayed, his knowledge was very limited, and he didn't say anything valuable after turning it over, Mu Peng didn't look as depressed as Wang 13 noticed.
The Baiyunwu Lord interrupted the two impatiently: "Okay, don't be verbose, what next?" ”
Wang Thirteen's big lie is completely based on Shang Mushan not knowing where the secret passage exit is, although Shang Moushan has been accompanying the old thief in the palace, but this secret passage is related to the old thief's final retreat, Wang Thirteen felt that if Shang Mushan knew the situation of the secret passage in detail, the old thief would not rest assured that he would stay behind.
There is a case, but for Wang Thirteen, there is no better way at this time, so he can only gamble.
Hongguang promised to take him to see the dock master, and when everyone arrived near the exit, the sky was already dark, that Shang Mu Shan had long seen that his subordinates were not pleasing to the eye, and from time to time he would trouble me, and his subordinates felt that it was an eventful autumn, if the two of us made trouble, it would add trouble to the dock owner, so I could bear it, and I thought that Lao Tzu couldn't provoke him and couldn't hide. Because I was far away, I felt that there seemed to be a cold light flashing in the grass next to me, and my subordinates would never be mistaken, it was a cluster of arrows in the hands of the enemy, and Shang Mushan brought a large number of enemy troops. ”
The Baiyunwu master's voice was tense and cold: "And then?" ”
Thinking that they must not be allowed to break into the secret passage, the subordinates rushed over to intercept Shang Mushan while warning Hongguang. Seeing that there were too many enemies, Hiromitsu told us to quickly retreat into the secret passage and drop the machine stone. Who knew that as soon as his words fell, those enemies actually ignored Shang Moushan's life and death, and ten thousand arrows were fired together, Mu Peng was the closest to the entrance of the cave at that time, and he was lucky enough to retreat into the secret passage, and his subordinates also relied on their internal strength to protect their bodies, and escaped a catastrophe, but they had nowhere to hide, and they were shot like hedgehogs. ”
"Shang Mushan is also dead?"
Wang 13 hesitated for a moment, and said, "Back to the dock master, we were too anxious to put down the machine stone at that time, and we didn't pay attention to it, so we didn't dare to be sure. ”
Lord Baiyunwu and Dongfang frowned at the same time, these words sounded fine, but according to Wang Shisan's usual style of acting, they had to suspect that when this kid hurriedly fell down the machine stone, Hongguang and the others were actually still alive, and as soon as the big stone fell, the inside and outside were isolated, and it completely cut off the way of life for those people.
But there is no evidence for this, and secondly, it is true. It can't be said that Wang 13 did something wrong. In the current chaos, when it is broken, it will be broken, and nine times out of ten they will do the same when they change places.
In fact, Wang Thirteen came in. The lord of Baiyunwu and Dongfang noticed that his clothes were torn and dirty, and he didn't look much better than a beggar, which was really embarrassing.
The lord of Baiyunwu gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "The old man treats business and Mou is not thin, he dares to be so ungrateful!" ”
Dongfang persuaded: "The dock master is angry. Fortunately, it was discovered in time that although Hongguang and several people died because of it, he didn't please him. ”
The Lord of Baiyunwu quickly calmed down. staring at the two kneeling highnesses, I don't know what they were thinking.
Wang Thirteen only felt that gaze made him like a stab in his back, and his heart suddenly contracted, he was like this. How nervous Mu Peng is at the moment can be imagined. I don't know if that guy can hold on, this is the most likely part of his plan, but if he doesn't bring Mu Peng back, he won't be able to pass the current level.
Mu Peng was afraid, he couldn't lie like Wang Shisan, and he fell to the ground and cried: "Master Wu, you must avenge your cousin." ”
The master of Baiyunwu was noncommittal, and asked condescendingly and lightly: "You two have worked hard this time." Did you bring anything back? ”
Wang 13 hurriedly said: "Most of them have not been brought in, and the food and water are only enough for us to stay here for two or three days." ”
The Lord of Baiyunwu raised his hand: "You go." Take them to clean up and get some food first. ”
Wang 13 responded "yes", got up and retreated.
He was like a mirror in his heart, and the old thief was still suspicious of what he had just said, and wanted to leave Mu Peng alone for interrogation.
Until now, he can only resign himself to fate.
It stands to reason that Mu Peng didn't have the courage to reveal the truth, but who knows if he will show his flaws?
Wang 13 was secretly ruthless in his heart, instead of dealing with so many people for a while, it was better to strike first and slaughter the four outside.
The Baiyun Dock Lord in the hall did not immediately ask Mu Peng, but first said to Dongfang: "Prepare, let's get out of here." I had planned to keep this dungeon, and for this reason I didn't even plan to touch their inner treasury, so as not to arouse suspicion. But looking at it now, leaving them a tael of silver is a lot, and if you can't take it away, you can move it to the underground palace first. ”
Dongfang nodded: "Don't worry, two or three days are enough." ”
The master of Baiyunwu sighed: "This is really a day and night defense, and it is difficult to prevent thieves." ”
Mu Peng suddenly raised his head and said loudly: "My subordinates are loyal to the dock master, but I have the experience of Shang Mushan's dog thief, and my subordinates have taken the Divine Pill to prove their intentions, if they dare to betray Baiyunwu in the future, they will make me suffer from the heart-devouring of ten thousand ants, and I will die of drug addiction." ”
After finishing speaking, without waiting for the master of Baiyunwu to drink, he took out a pill from his arms, threw it into his mouth as soon as he raised his head, and swallowed it.
This is clearly prepared.
The strength of the medicine was very fast, it didn't take much time, Mu Peng began to sweat, he was already weak, and now there is no need to hide it, recalled his reaction when he first took the Divine Pill, frowned, and pursed his mouth tightly, looking like he was nauseous.
The Lord of Baiyunwu looked at him for a long time and didn't speak, and only then did he speak: "You stand down." ”
Mu Pengru was pardoned, quickly got up, and withdrew from the hall.
Wang 13 was a little relieved when he saw outside, packed up some food, and specially prepared a wine bag for the master of Baiyunwu to bring in.
"Dock master, let's have something to eat."
The Lord of Baiyunwu looked at him and said lightly: "Don't worry, put it there first." ”
Wang Shisan secretly muttered to himself that the old thief was worried that he was poisoning the food, so he put the food on the stone table on the side according to his words, did not withdraw, stood aside with his hands down, and said respectfully: "My subordinates heard that Mi Jingyang's team of men and horses are waiting for us to kill them outside the inner warehouse, I don't know what the dock master has planned?" ”
The master of Baiyunwu was a little surprised, he dared not even turn a corner under his hands, and asked himself what he planned to do, Wang Shisan was still the first one.
Even Dongfang has been reined in a lot recently, and he doesn't dare to be so direct.
He asked rhetorically, "What do you think?" ”
Wang 13 said frankly: "It was only when the subordinates had an idea that they had the courage to speak to the dock master. ”
The lord of Baiyunwu became a little interested, and beckoned: "Dongfang, don't stand still, you can also come and listen." ”
Wang 13 nodded at Dongfang and continued: "My subordinates heard from a few of them that those archers were only waiting outside the inner library, and they didn't rush in, they were probably throwing rats...... That, there are some scruples. ”
Those who have ears can hear it, what he originally wanted to say was a rat bogey, but halfway through his words, he remembered to describe himself as a mouse, especially the Baiyunwu lord who was seated was too disrespectful, so he temporarily changed his words.
The lord of Baiyunwu was not angry, and said: "Yes, they were originally empty of the treasury, but a bunch of poor ghosts, there are a lot of valuable things in this treasury, without Li Chengyun's order, they dare not move, for fear that the lord of this dock will be angry and all destroyed." ”
Wang Shisan pursed his lips secretly, and said in his heart: "The old immortal, you can't guess it, Lao Tzu is the real treasure." If Wen Sheng hadn't cared about my safety, he would have asked them to rush in, no matter how secret the entrance of this rat hole is, what does it take to open the jade seal, in fact, as long as you know the general direction, transfer him thousands of craftsmen to come over, open the hard chisel, and dig it for you in two days. ”
His face was impassive: "That's what the dock master said." But they won't always be in such a stalemate with us, in Li Chengyun's heart, the value of the dock master is much more than the treasure of this library, let's leave Fengjing first, just outside the secret passage leading to the south gate, and a few of us will keep the dock master there all the way to the south. ”
The lord of Baiyunwu didn't care: "Go south? Thirteen, you want to persuade the master of this dock to return to Baiyunwu, why, you haven't uprooted the people of the Tan family, and you have never given up? ”
Wang 13 said: "The subordinates and the Tan family do not share the sky, and this account will be settled sooner or later, but the place that the subordinates want to talk about is not Tiannu Lake." ”
The Lord of Baiyunwu was curious: "Oh, where is that?" ”
Wang 13 picked up the wine bag casually, poured some wine on the table, dipped his fingers in it, and quickly sketched a map next to it.
"Dock master, please see, if we go all the way to the south, this is Jiangbei, this is the Feiyun River, there is a blockade by the Southern Chongshui Army on the river, but there is a village near here, called Chiyue Village, where the language and customs of the people are different from ours. My subordinates once did them a great favor, and they reciprocated by promising to lend me a secret passage connecting Jiangnan and Jiangbei. We can go to Nanchong quietly through here. ”
The lord of Baiyun Dock looked at the map and did not speak, and Dongfang said: "Dock master, this is the truth, my subordinates have heard Wang Guangji talk about it." ”
The Baiyun Dock Lord raised his eyebrows: "So what, do you want the Dock Lord to hide in Nanchong?" ”
Wang 13 said: "The dock master doesn't know, Nanchong has hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, at the beginning of the year, their emperor only took back the power, the lord is weak and the minister is strong, and it is very easy to start." ”
I'm sorry uncle, the old thief is clearly suspicious of me, I have to behave very usefully, and save my life first. I'm just using you as bait, and I'm going to do everything I can to kill all of them in this dungeon."
