Chapter 34: An Hour
An hour ago in the woods of the Ruins Post House
"Why do you want me to believe you?" Chu Sheng glanced at Mo Chen, and said in a deep voice, his tone a little displeased.
It was already very unpleasant for the third prince to be terminated by a woman, and now he had to bring someone who was probably sent by Chu Chao to kill him at any time! And at this moment, this person actually asked him to save people!
"The man in black who assassinated her in Qingfeng Tower today is not here for you, and the reason why she wants to break the agreement with you is not because she is afraid of affecting you. Because ......" Mo Chen rubbed his red and swollen forehead, took a breath and continued:
"Because you can't afford to mess with her master."
"So I'd be more at her liking, shouldn't I?" Chu Sheng said coldly. The dark and rich woods hid his majestic figure in it, and his face could not be seen clearly, except for a pair of dark and cold starry eyes.
He was half angry and half didn't believe Mochen's words, and the angry woman underestimated his strength, and Qi Mochen had an expression of lack of understanding of everything.
"If you don't save her, you won't be able to get out of Yeyang Kingdom tonight, even your father Chu Huang and the eldest prince Chu Chao." Ink Dust Road.
"You threaten me?" Chu Sheng's face sank like ink carbon.
"I'm saving you." Mo Chen smiled warmly, in the woods where he couldn't see his fingers, but everyone seemed to be able to see the shallow smile in the darkness, confident and calm.
Chu Sheng didn't speak, and snorted coldly from his nose. At this moment, a scout ran in from outside, knelt on the ground and said urgently:
"Back to the master, there are a large number of troops rushing over here, and please leave the master quickly."
"Revisit."
"Yes."
The atmosphere suddenly became solemn because of these words, and the eyes of Tu An and the others kept moving back and forth on Chu Sheng and Mo Chen.
How so? They're obviously very hidden.
Did you just pass by, or was it ...... Someone leaked?
"This road down is Chuzhuang, I don't need to tell me what the situation is in Chuzhuang." The ink dust pierced through the thoughts of Chu Sheng and the others, and Xu was tired of standing, so he leaned against the big tree nearby.
"You leaked the secret?" Chu Sheng asked, his eyes burning and covered with ice.
"I did think about doing it, but I didn't have time." Mo Chen smiled, spreading his hands out, helpless and unbeatable.
"You...... What exactly do you want to do? Tuan said angrily, very anxious.
Since Emperor Ye unified the Three Kingdoms, it was expressly forbidden that more than 500 troops from other countries should not appear near Yeyang Kingdom.
Even Shu Jing, the emperor of Shu Changuo, only brought three hundred Jingwei into the city, if Emperor Ye knew that they secretly brought a thousand guards to guard outside Yeyang City, not to mention that Chu Sheng's life might not be guaranteed, and the Chu Emperor and the eldest prince who were still guests in the palace were in danger of their lives.
And Mo Chen's tone obviously didn't look like he had just known Chu Sheng's identity, and he had been pretending to be stupid before!
Chu Sheng exhaled heavily, and there seemed to be a spark jumping in his dark eyes, and finally annihilated into ashes.
"Say, how?" Chu Sheng's tone was cold and hard, but he still compromised.
"There are two roads outside the forest...... Mo Chen said, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Tu'an's excitement:
"That's right, master, they must be on the official road from Yeyang Town, we can take the small road."
"Are you stupid or are they stupid?" Mo Chen said: "The two roads are just separated by a forest, if it were you, would you block both roads?" ”
Tu'an hung his head with a sad face, thinking to himself that this ink dust usually looks warm and gentle, how can he talk with Qingzhu girl......
"This forest is not big, it is a small valley all the way forward, and after walking out of the valley for half an hour, you will arrive at the gate of the north city of Yeyang City. All of your subordinates disguised themselves as ordinary people and blended into Yeyang City. Ye Huang is extremely conceited, she would never have thought that you would return and hide in the city. ”
Mo Chendao, his gentle voice was like a spring night, brushing everyone's hearts, inadvertently calming everyone's uneasiness.
"You helped me just to save her?" Chu Sheng listened for a long time and asked.
A smile appeared on the corner of Mo Chen's mouth, but his eyes were not half warm: "Yeyang Palace has a total of eight palace gates, and the three princes must know this." The people of Yeyang City have the custom of torch celebration and dance, and it is understandable that they are happy to play and unhappy to play, and they can understand that the torches are thrown and burned to something that should not be burned. ”
"She's in the palace? Who the hell is she going to deal with? Chu Sheng asked, a little surprise in his eyes.
"What? The third prince is afraid? Mo Chen stopped talking and asked with a smile.
"How can I believe this isn't a trap?" Chu Sheng looked down and said in a deep voice.
"The third prince must say a reason to make you feel at ease, the old king of Chuzhuang just gave him a sickle, and she fulfilled the promise of looking for the old king to find the murderer. Chu Mengsheng is completed, the third prince, and the grand plan is just in your thoughts. ”
Mo Chen's words made people sound very arrogant, and this sentence seemed to say that if Chu Sheng didn't save Mo Qinglan, he wouldn't want to be an emperor in this life. On the contrary, with her, Chu State's dream of dominating Yunyuan is not a fantasy.
It's arrogant.
"What about you, what weight do you put to make me believe in you. Or that you should say something useful, about yourself. Chu Sheng's eyes showed a little mockery, and the meaning of the reminder was obvious. At that time, a paralyzed face appeared in my mind, and my heart was like numbness.
"The third prince laughed at this, I told you all the way out of the forest, you can pat your ass and walk away now. If you're worried that I'm going to tell you, you don't have to go back to Yeyang City as I said before. Believe it or not, it is up to the three princes to decide. ”
Mo Chen didn't care, and seeing that Chu Sheng didn't answer, he continued:
"After entering the palace, I think the third prince will definitely have a way to get to the Azure Palace. In the eastern corner of the Imperial Garden of the Azure Palace, there was a magnolia tree with a few ropes tied to it. Before saving her, I did me a favor, untied the rope, and returned the magnolia tree to freedom. After saving someone, follow the instructions above to leave. ”
Mo Chen didn't speak lightly, and he didn't even bother to explain Chu Sheng's questioning. walked in front of Chu Sheng and put the things that had been prepared in his hand into Chu Sheng's hands.
Soft and slippery, it is a silk handkerchief.
Chu Sheng didn't look at it, but just stuffed the silk handkerchief into his arms.
"Ink Dust Boy, do you think you entered the palace to play? It's not easy to save people, and you have to take care of a broken tree. Azure Palace, that's where the prince lives, what is the Qingzhu girl going to do? Master, we can't die in vain......"
At this time, Rao is Mo Qinglan had a great life-saving grace to Tu'an, and he couldn't remember it at all. Breaking angrily, he said angrily, and when he walked in front of Chu Sheng, he was going to stop it.
"What about you? What are you doing? Chu Sheng raised his hand to stop Tu An from speaking, and looked at Mo Chen with a deep gaze.
"Me?" Mo Chen asked rhetorically, peach blossom eyes were as gentle as water: "I naturally want to enter the palace with you and take her out." ”
Pick up! It's like marrying a bride, I don't know how many lives we will take.
Tuan scolded fiercely in his heart.
"I'll listen to you this time. If anything goes wrong, I'll kill you. Chu Sheng said coldly, his palms covered with a fine layer of sweat.
"Deal." Mochen is not afraid, and he still has that kind of freehand smile.
Chu Sheng felt that he was crazy, to believe in a weak man who didn't even know the origin, in order to avoid the pursuit of Emperor Ye's army, in order to save a woman who also had an unknown origin but already knew that she was a very dangerous identity, once he failed, he would be tantamount to throwing himself into the net and his father would be killed by Emperor Ye, and the State of Chu would become a vassal state of the State of Ye from then on......
An hour later, in a ruined temple outside the suburbs, a pale woman with an arrow wound lay on a simple bed.
The woman was unconscious, muttering to herself, her expression sometimes calm and sometimes painful, and she got closer but couldn't hear a word.
Chu Sheng's face was gloomy, he didn't care about the dust on the ground, he sat down, and his eyes moved from the feather arrow on the woman's shoulder that trembled slightly with the rhythm of his breathing to the top of the beam.
An hour has been thrilling, Rao is a person who has experienced a lot of life and death risks for Chu Sheng, and he still can't help but feel a little excited in retrospect......
After they successfully infiltrated Yeyang City all the way, Chu Sheng ordered people to throw torches on all the palace gates, and the torches wrapped in fire oil instantly ignited the palace gates, attracting a large number of palace guards.
He took advantage of the chaos to sneak into the palace with dozens of people, and saw that he had barely changed everyone's clothes after knocking out the guards and eunuchs along the way, and when he came to the Azure Palace, the Jingwei Shi of the inner and outer three layers had already surrounded this place.
Thousands of people against dozens of people, it is clear that they are hitting stones with eggs. Chu Sheng was not a hot-headed righteous boy, and after understanding that there was a huge difference between the enemy and us, he really planned to give up saving Mo Qinglan. Suddenly remembered the magnolia tree that Mochen said, fortunately the magnolia tree that Mochen said was in the dead corner, he groped through the shadow of the wall, and found a small piece of rope falling outside the soil in the grass not far from the tree. If it weren't for the ink dust reminder, it would be really difficult to find such a concealment.
He always thought that Mo Chen would not talk about a tree for no reason, and he would not feel that he was really idle enough to untie the rope of a broken tree.
So, he pulled twice.
He pulled the rope and found that one end of the rope was under the root of the tree, and he picked up the soil along the rope and found a thin thread, and after pondering for a while, he reached out and pulled the thread out.
This pull, everything happened upside down.
The ground shook and the mountains shook, the ghosts cried and the wolves howled, and Chu Sheng was almost deafened by the ** sound of the entire Azure Palace.
Bloody, excited, indescribable shocking scene, Chu Sheng looked at the sky-high fire light jumping everywhere, his eyes were also like this fire fever, and his body was as if it was frozen, and it was difficult to move for half a minute.
If it weren't for the exclamation from beside him, he was pulled aside by his subordinates, and maybe he would have fallen and been smashed half to death by the magnolia tree.
However, this fright also brought him back to his senses, he felt like a lion who had been imprisoned for a long time, finally freed, he couldn't even remember how he rushed into the crumbling hall, he couldn't even remember how he rescued the woman, he only remembered that he took out the silk handkerchief given by Mochen, and was shocked again.
"Someone." Thinking of this, Chu Sheng suddenly opened his eyes and shouted.
"Yes, master." Tuan hurriedly replied.
"Who can tell Mochen where that kid has gone?" Chu Sheng said angrily, since he entered the palace, Mochen suddenly disappeared, and the angry Chu Sheng did not explode his dirty mouth on the spot.
Also, why does he have the secret passage of Ye Yang Kingdom?
It is true that no one knows where Mochen went, and Chu Sheng looked at the dense route map on the handkerchief and was silent for a long time.
