Around noon, a team of people came out of the apse of Weiyang Palace, and...

A coffin!

Qin Mu walked at the front of the group, his face calm, and his fingers trembled slightly uncontrollably.

As soon as they arrived at the palace gate, Qin Mu and his party were stopped by the guards.

"Lang Zhongling clearly ordered: The assassins in the palace have not been removed, and no one is allowed to enter or leave the palace!"

As he spoke, the doorman commander had righteous words on his face, and glanced at Qin Mu with mockery.

Qin Mu suppressed the tremor of his voice slightly, stepped forward, pointed to the coffin, and said calmly: "I am ordered by Your Majesty to go out of the city to bury this person." ”

Before the words fell, Qin Mu caught a glimpse of the figure slowly approaching behind the doorman, and his face suddenly stiffened.

The doorman was about to say something more when Zhou Bo's trademark rough voice came from his ears.

"I haven't seen each other for a long time, Qin Shilang once attained the Tao, can it be said that the chicken dog ascended to heaven?"

Hearing this, Qin Mu's face suddenly turned red, and he gritted his teeth faintly and said: "Taiwei picked up his brother's kindness, and the last general has not had time to repay him..."

Zhou Bo's face suddenly froze, and then became gloomy.

"Huangkou child, when a certain face also dares to call the 'last general'..."

With a sneer in his heart, Zhou Bo strolled towards the coffin behind Qin Mu: "Qin Shilang is going out of the palace?" ”

Watching Zhou Bo approach the wooden coffin step by step, Qin Mu's pupils shrank suddenly, and his hand subconsciously held on to the hilt of the sword!

Zhou Bo seemed to be unaware of everything behind him, patted the lid of the wooden coffin, and wondered: "Who is this corpse?" ”

Looking at the doormen with at least ten people around him, Qin Muqiang suppressed the urge to draw his sword, and said indifferently: "This Your Majesty's favorite eunuch Wang Zhong died of fever last night. ”

"At the behest of His Majesty, the last general will be buried outside the city."

Hearing this, Zhou Bo turned his head with a sneer, glanced at Qin Mu with deep meaning, and gently touched the wooden coffin with both hands.

Slowly pushing the lid of the coffin, Zhou Bo raised his head with a sneer, his eyes pretended to be inadvertently skimmed to Qin Mu's hand holding the hilt of the sword, and swept around slightly: "Qin Shilang can never make a mistake, and it is important to bear the trust of His Majesty..."

As he spoke, Zhou Bo slowly pushed the lid of the coffin open under Qin Mu's horrified gaze.

Lowering his head, Wang Zhong's pale and bloodless face suddenly met Zhou Bo's gaze.

Seeing Zhou Bo probing Wang Zhong's snort, and slowly stretching out his hand to Wang Zhong's neck, Qin Mu's eyes were about to split, his breathing suddenly became heavy, and the hand holding the hilt of the sword almost crushed the hilt!

Just when Qin Mu made up his mind and was about to draw his sword at any time, Zhou Bo withdrew his hand and said in amazement: "Just a eunuch, you have been so favored by Your Majesty, hey..."

As he spoke, Zhou Bo waved his hand and motioned for the doorman to let him go.

Seeing that the road ahead was unimpeded, Qin Mu withdrew his hand from the hilt of the sword without a trace, walked to the coffin, glared at Zhou Bo with his eyes, and slowly pushed the coffin lid back.

When the guards saw Zhou Bo speak, they didn't stop doing much, and could only watch Qin Mu walk towards Xuanping Gate step by step with a team of little eunuchs supporting the coffin.

——When Qin Mushang served in the Northern Army, he guarded Xuanping Gate all year round; The Xuanping guards are basically Qin Mu's old ones.

Watching Qin Mu and his entourage slowly move away, Zhou Bo indifferently put his hands behind his back, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and whispered to the house slave next to him: "Go and tell the prime minister: the bait has entered the water." ”

※※※※※※※※※※

From Xuanping Gate out of Chang'an City, Qin Mu ordered to speed up the pace, and the group rushed to a secluded village before sunset.

The familiar guide led the team to a dilapidated thatched house, ordered the little eunuchs to carry the coffin in, and Qin Mu walked out of the courtyard again. I looked around.

After making sure that no one was following, Qin Mu returned to the courtyard and gently pushed the coffin lid open.

Seeing that Wang Zhong was still holding his breath and pretending to be dead, Qin Mu subconsciously looked around again, then lowered his head and whispered, "Prince, it's here..."

I saw Wang Zhong, who was lying peacefully in the coffin, slowly opened his eyes, and after confirming that the person in front of him was Qin Mu, he nodded invisibly and slowly closed his eyes again.

Seeing this, Qin Mu couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, and said to the little eunuchs gathered around the coffin: "Carry it to the house." ”

The little eunuchs were ordered, laboriously lifted the plank under Wang Zhong's body, and cautiously walked into the hut; Qin Mu looked around vigilantly, and was the last to walk into the house.

The thatched house was small, but only four meters square, except for a collapse made of rammed straw mixed with earth, and a messy hay on the collapse, only a broken clay pot lay in the corner.

After Wang Zhong was placed on the couch steadily, Qin Mu waved his hand and motioned for the little eunuchs to retreat outside the house.

- It's not that these little eunuchs are unreliable, but this room is too small...

The space is not large, and there are close to it, which is generally occupied by mud couches; Coupled with the few small eunuchs who poured in, it was suddenly a little crowded.

After the little eunuchs all withdrew from the room, feeling that the room was empty, Qin Mu came to the mud couch and sat down, leaned over slightly, and said softly: "Your Majesty is trapped today, the only way to do this is to make Your Majesty have a chance to live, that is, it will be a hardship for the prince..."

Hearing this, Wang Zhong shook his head with great difficulty, his lips opened slightly, as if he was about to say something, but he couldn't make a sound.

Qin Mu leaned down a little further and put his ear close to Wang Zhong's mouth before he could roughly hear Wang Zhong's words.

"First... Ahem, Mr. is here, Your Majesty... By Your Majesty's side... Can there be someone to protect you? ”

Seeing that Wang Zhong's eyes were full of worry, Qin Mu suddenly felt a wave of admiration in his heart; subconsciously pulled his hand a little farther away, and after struggling for a while, he stroked the back of Wang Zhong's hand.

"Don't worry, the prince of the guard, Qu Cheng is the prince of the insects, and personally guards His Majesty."

After the words fell, the worry in Wang Zhong's eyes subsided a little, and he nodded slowly, signaling Qin Mu to come over.

Qin Mu hurriedly leaned over again, and heard Wang Zhong say angrily: "I... I have old knowledge, dwelling... Under the Mausoleum..."

"Sir... You can take the jade talisman in my arms, find··· Find this person..."

"This person... Available for citation and... With Mr.···"

After finishing speaking, a little sweat flowed from Wang Zhong's pale face, and his face could not hide his tiredness and weakness.

Nodding, Qin Mu stood up solemnly and bowed deeply: "The loyalty of the prince is really rare in the world, and I respect it very much!" ”

"Wanwang prince take care, when I return, I will drink with the prince!"

Wang Zhong turned his head slightly with difficulty, endured the burning pain in his chest and back, squeezed out a twisted smile, and blinked slowly.

Stepping forward, he took out a jade plaque from Wang Zhong's arms, Qin Mu bowed to Wang Zhong again, then turned around and walked out of the thatched house, and explained to the little eunuchs outside the door: "The prince is seriously injured and has not recovered, so you will find a witch doctor tomorrow to treat the prince." ”

Seeing that the little eunuchs nodded silently, Qin Mu let out a sigh of relief and untied a cloth bag from his waist.

"The cost of this prince's decoction, such as food and food, if you dare to hide it privately, you will not be spared!"

The little eunuchs panicked when they heard this, and they vied with each other to say that they didn't dare.

Qin Mu nodded, glanced at Wang Zhong in the room, turned around again, and promised the little eunuchs: "When a certain person returns, he will ask for merit for you." ”

The little eunuchs hurriedly nodded, and Qin Mu relieved himself, took one of his bags from the coffin, tied it to his back, walked out of the mansion, and ran quickly in the direction of Chang'an City.
