Volume 1 The Wind Rises in Qin Huai Chapter 039 Zhao Xue, a counterattack
"The son asks his father to fulfill it!"
Mocang Wuji closed his tired eyes and kowtowed again, resolutely pleading with a heavy breath.
"Fourth brother, what are you doing?" Mo Cangwuji's eyes turned, leaned over and paced towards the prince step by step, his heart was already overturned, "Father wants to slaughter all enemies, you have to stop, father wants to build Yuhuatai, you have to block, now you are dedicated to organizing a birthday banquet for you, you still have to block, your prince's majesty is too presumptuous!" I want to ask, does this country of desert wind want to obey you without a trace, or obey my father? ”
"Shut up!" Emperor Mocang roared angrily, listening to Mocang Wuji's overwhelming tone, his anger rose again and again, and finally he couldn't help but shoot the case.
"Father! Listen to what your son says! You give him a thousand favors, and what about him? Again and again, they are blocking my plan to dominate the world! Why don't you ask him, is he loyal to my Mocang Feng Country, or Li Sang's enemy country! Mo Cangwuji pointed to the prince under him and said coldly, he was so excited that he stumbled in place, and the whole person had lost his manners.
Looking at Mo Cang Wuji's appearance, Emperor Mo Cang was even more annoyed, his fingers trembled and pointed at him, and his angry face was full of disappointment: "He is the prince of my Mo Cangfeng Country!" He's your own brother too! And you slander him again and again, and this is what you think is the same spirit? Together? On weekdays, he looks like a brother, and he dares to act for me to see! ”
"Father! Erchen is loyal to do things for you, loyal to guard this desert for you, he is the one who really makes a scene! If you think about what he did, you will know if your son slandered him! Mocang Wuji said indignantly and unwillingly.
The desert that was crawling on the ground couldn't listen to it anymore, "Is the eldest brother loyal to his father or himself, why do you have to say it?" As he spoke, he stood up from the ground and continued with cold eyes towards Mo Cangwuji, "On the banks of the Qinhuai River, you wantonly slaughtered men, lured women, girls and children into your carefully designed white cages, and then abandoned them to mass graves, since the eldest brother is doing so well, are you afraid that others will not know your loyalty?" ”
After that, Mo Cang stood in the hall without a trace, and suddenly remembered the events of the day.
"No matter what kind of fighting method, blindly forbearance will only condone the enemy, since he wants you to die, there will be a thousand ways to die behind him, instead of enduring it, it is better to give him a heavy blow......"
"My mother, sister-in-law and third sister were tricked into a white cage by the Wind Man, drank the poison given by the Wind Man, and were dumped in a mass grave after death, and my father and two brothers all died under the cutlass of the Wind Man......"
He may never forget the look on the face of Bai Bait when he said these words. She is just a woman with bare hands, but her family is about to be wiped out, and the universe is so big that there is no place for her, and there is nowhere to cry out for grievances, which is too unfair to her! Now that the executioner was in front of him, how could he not cry out for her?
Hearing the prince's words, Emperor Mocang was furious, his face was already flushed, and he pointed his hands and shouted: "What a Chang King!" Unexpectedly, you dare to disobey my order? It seems that King Chang is not guarding my country, but his own! ”
After scolding angrily, Emperor Mo Cang angrily brushed his sleeves away.
Mo Cang Wuji didn't know the origin of the prince's words, and when he heard his father's scolding and sarcasm, he was terrified: "Father, the sons don't dare, the sons don't dare."
Looking at the figure of his father's departure, Mo Cang knew that the prince's birthday banquet was a foregone conclusion after all, and now he categorically couldn't ask his father anymore, after all, Mo Cang Wuji's words were framed one by one, even if his father didn't believe it on the surface, he was afraid that he would only be afraid of suspicion when he dreamed back at midnight.
Mo Cang Wuji frowned and sighed, turned around and glanced at Mo Cang Wuji, who was kneeling on the ground, without a trace of expression on his face, shifting
Walk towards the inner sanctum.
Seeing this situation, Mo Cangwuji suppressed the panic in his heart and chuckled: "Do you really think that your father really wants to hold a birthday banquet for you?" In front of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, what is a prince! ”
Mo Cang did not hesitate, but walked straight down.
The inner sanctum of the East Palace.
The smoke finally cleared, and the entire East Palace returned to calm.
The palace lamp on the floor has just been lit, and the bright lights illuminate the topographical structure map of the palace on the case very clearly.
On the boxy map, there are all kinds of identifications and buildings.
At the bottom, the south end is a long Qinhuai River, the river has been meandering along the east and west, in the middle of the river stands a water pavilion song platform, the riverside and the field are marked with various streets and squares, including Wuyi Lane, Liuyedu, to the east of the city, to the west of the market.
Further up is the Vermilion Bird Street, the Vermilion Bird Street is rich and vast, occupying the center of the whole map, the streets are densely packed, there are rows of neat shops on both sides of the street, the Vermilion Bird Street seems to be the most prosperous place in the whole Qinhuai, there are sixty-six streets, seventy-two squares, including Goolan wine shops, workshops, residences. To the east and west were the vast prison bars.
Further up, is Julong City, the imperial palace in Julong City is magnificent, the terrain structure is extremely complex, all kinds of dark passages are intertwined, the three palaces and six courtyards are on paper, and the northernmost point is the dungeon.
Mo Cang's traceless gaze fell on the prison of the prisoners at the east and west ends, his face was full of hesitation, and he called Ashin: "Ashin, where did this map come from?" This is clearly a fake map! ”
"Your Highness, this map was found by Ashin from the Hanlin Academy of the Imperial Palace, didn't you confirm its authenticity before you left yesterday? This, how can this map be fake? Ashin knelt on the ground in fright and explained: "Judging from the brushstrokes and seals on it, this is indeed the hand of Zhang Tongshi, and judging from the standard texture of the map and the ink of a certain age, it is even more unlikely that it is a temporary forgery." ”
"But after the palace personally verified, there is a clear difference between the marks on this map and the actual situation!" There is no trace of the desert and the railway is cut to the ground.
"However, all the evidence can prove that this map is indeed from Zhang Tongshi, and maybe, maybe Zhang Tongshi made a mistake in drawing it in his early years......." Ashin guessed.
"Zhang Tongshi is a key minister of Li Sang, and this map is from the Hanlin Academy, how could such an important map be made wrong when drawing, could it be that he Zhang Tongshi doesn't want his head?" Mo Cang asked rhetorically.
Ashin had nothing to say, and when he was puzzled, he suddenly remembered: "His Royal Highness asked Ashin to look for Zhang Tongshi a few days ago, and at the same time, he also went to inquire about people related to the map, and Ashin found a person a few days ago. ”
"Who is it?" Mo Cang asked immediately.
"This man's name is Shi Jiao, who used to be an apprentice with Zhang Tongshi, and although he doesn't know the real structure of the palace, he also knows something about the topography of the palace. It's better to pass the stone to ask. Ashin proposed.
Mo Cang muttered for a moment, and immediately called someone to pass the stone. While waiting, Mo Cang Wuji turned his eyes back to the prison of the prisoner again, and the picture of saying goodbye to Bai Bait could not help but appear in his mind again, if it weren't for her, he might not be able to come back today, and the entire East Palace would be planted in Mo Cang Wuji's hands.
Ah Xin stood aside, looking at the prince's thoughtful expression, and wanted to ask His Highness what he had experienced this day and night, but from the questioning just now, he clearly felt that His Highness seemed to see something, and when he thought about this, he still chose to keep silent.
"Ashin, you quickly go to this place on the map, and ask the director there for a person in the name of the main palace, this person is named Bai Bait, Ear Eater. When the people arrive, you personally deliver the white bait to the Suzaku
The Langyue Inn on the street, and then wait there, don't reveal the identity of the palace to her, and be sure to ensure her safety. Don't leave a mark on your trip. Mo Cang Wuxian pointed to the east side of the map and carefully advised.
Ashin didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately received the order to leave the East Palace.
Imprisoned.
The sky had darkened, and the gates of the prison were shadowed by the blazing bonfires, and the dust fluttered in the dim light with the crows of crows. The entire prison was silent, and if it weren't for the occasional passing by patrolling soldiers, it would have been a lifeless mass grave.
However, there are broken flowers and willows here, but the main office is a warbler singing and dancing, which is very lively.
"Oh, Master Jun, you are seriously busy with military affairs, don't look around, concentrate on it......" The coquettish voice was so tactful that it could pinch out the water. A woman in a short skirt sat shyly next to the supervisor, a pair of slender hands and skin like jade, holding a round fan, a bent willow eyebrows frowned slightly, muttering that the supervisor was not serious enough.
Hearing the beauty next to him scream, the director only felt that the bones in his body were half crispy, and he couldn't wait to reach out and pull the beauty...... The lights in the director's office shone alone, and a gust of wind blew, playing the flames to the fullest, and exuding a glamorous color when it was clearly extinguished.
Suddenly, the door to the director's office was kicked open. The director frowned impatiently, and glanced at it hurriedly: "Who! Looking for death? ”
In an instant, he was dumbfounded by a golden sign, and the director's hot heart suddenly slipped from a high place and fell into a biting icy lake. As soon as the beautiful woman was thrown away by him, she staggered up from the ground in fright, and escaped through the back door with her body covered.
The weak knee fell to the ground weakly, and the director called out in a panic: "The Prince's Palace... Under. ”
The cold eyes were retracted by Ashin, who put away the sign unhurriedly, walked straight to the supervisor, and said solemnly with a knife in his arms: "Release a prisoner named White Bait for me." ”
"Released?" The director was shocked when he heard the familiar name, and looked at Ashin with a raised face and a bewildered face, not understanding what Ashin meant at all.
"What? The person His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants, do you dare not let go? Ashin wondered, his tone full of ridiculousness and impatience.
Hearing that it was the person the prince wanted, the director was almost frightened for half his life, and he fell down his face timidly, and thought about it in a panic, thinking that half an hour ago he had just ordered someone to escort Bai Bait to the prison of the dead slaves, and the prince would come to ask for someone again, which ..... But how is it good? Since he is the prince's person, if the prince knows what he did to Bai Bait, how will the prince let him go? In a hurry, his eyes rolled.
"My lord, how dare you not let go of the person and slave that the prince wants, it's just that the person the prince wants just left the prison an hour ago, and he hasn't come back yet." The director replied in a feigned surprise.
Ashin gently put the knife in his hand to the supervisor's neck, met his cowardly eyes, and threatened: "What you said is true? ”
"Really! How dare a slave deceive the prince! The director was so frightened that he staggered, his whole neck was stiff, where did he have time to retort, in order to have a life for the rest of his life, the fake had to be true.
Ashin slowly withdrew the knife, looked at the director with fright, his face turned pale with fright, and the doubts in his eyes slowly faded, and after a moment of silence, he turned around and planned to leave.
The director who fell to the ground slowly narrowed his eyes, waiting for an opportunity to breathe a sigh of relief.
Ah Xin took two steps, turned his head slightly, and warned with a sharp eye: "It's best to guard the root of your tongue, tonight's matter, if you dare to say half a word, the prince will definitely let you go back to Mocang sideways!" ”
The supervisor agreed, knelt on the ground and bowed again and again until Ashin left.
