Chapter Twenty-Four: Heavenly Turmoil
Mo Qinglan's eyes narrowed slightly, his feet hung upside down from the branches, his body hung down like a straight line, his goose yellow dress bloomed rapidly like a variety of flower buds, and his posture swayed in a chic arc in the air like a swing. The sharp arrow passed through the position where Mo Qinglan was hiding just now with heavy force and went directly backwards, and a man's scream was heard in the distance, and I don't know which unlucky official outside the forest was hit by the arrow.
It was just a spin, and when the sharp arrow left, Mo Qinglan had already returned to his original position steadily, just a breath of time, neat and beautiful.
The forest wind gusted, blowing her dress fluttering, her long hair fluttering, and her sharp eyes looked at the place where the sharp arrow came from. At this time, someone from the other party also walked over, all holding bows and arrows at her.
Mo Qinglan secretly touched his right arm, and his sleeve was empty. She secretly said that it was bad that she forgot to tie it back after taking off the Hidden Arrow while taking a shower in Ding's Mansion. The idea of directly erasing these people turned into a plan to run away quickly.
Thinking like this, she watched vigilantly at the bows and arrows in the hands of a dozen or so people under the tree, her feet secretly moved on the branches, but she laughed coldly:
"Who shot the arrow just now, the archery skills are really bad."
The archer's face did not change, he turned a deaf ear to what Mo Qinglan said, and just waited for an order to shoot Mo Qinglan into a hornet's nest.
"Qingzhu?"
As soon as Mo Qinglan's words fell, a familiar man's voice sounded in the distance.
Mo Qinglan raised her eyebrows lightly, her face was obviously a lot more relaxed, she was an informal person, Qingzhu, Qingzhu girl, two more words, two less words, there was no difference to her. She replied, "It's me, Master Chu." ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw a dark purple figure coming from the clouds of the woods in the distance, his face was like jade, his aura was magnificent, and his posture was tall and extraordinary.
When he approached the archers who were swinging back, Mo Qinglan also jumped down from the tree.
"How did you come here?" Chu Sheng, who was recognized by Mo Qinglan just by his voice, was full of surprise in his eyes, and there was an inexplicable hint of joy.
"Last time, I found a few corpses of men in black in the woods, come and see if there are any other finds." Mo Qinglan said: "Promise Lao Wang to help him." “
Chu Sheng didn't say goodbye, it turned out to be a rendezvous with his guards, just looking at the strength of the archers, this time his trip was no longer as simple as buying a snake. There was absolutely no way she would have told him about Lu Ying.
And her re-mention of the man in black was also a reminder of the promise Chu Sheng had made at the beginning.
"I will definitely give Lao Wang an explanation for this matter." Chu Sheng nodded in response, and answered Mo Qinglan's reminder very clearly.
Chu Sheng saw that Mo Qinglan was silent, and thought that he would say goodbye without saying goodbye, so he couldn't help but explain:
"My subordinates and I also met just now, and I suddenly said goodbye without saying goodbye, and I ask Qingzhu to forgive me."
As he spoke, he raised his eyes and paid attention to Mo Qinglan's face, and when he said the word Qingzhu again, Mo Qinglan's face did not change and clearly acquiesced to his name. A different mood rose in Chu Sheng's heart, curling and entangled.
At this time, Tuan and another burly man also walked over.
The man was dark-skinned, with a bow and arrow on his right shoulder, like a leopard's eyes without anger.
"You just shot the arrow?" Mo Qinglan did not respond to Chu Sheng's words, but turned his head to look at the swarthy man.
"It's down here, I almost hurt the girl by mistake, I'm really sorry." The man replied with a fist clenched.
"It's fine." Mo Qinglan said lightly: "I will return it." ”
The man was stunned for a moment, and Chu Sheng and Tu An unconsciously showed relieved smiles. After a few days of getting along, Chu Sheng, the temperament of the woman in front of her, has probably figured out a little, but as long as she is still willing to talk to you, it means that she doesn't care about what happened before, and she said that she will return the sentence, which means that she will still escort him back to Chu State.
"As I said, stand down first." Chu Sheng waved his hand, and the momentary ease fell into tension again with his words.
"The eldest prince must be in Yeyang City, tomorrow is the celebration of the Ye Emperor, you really can't go, master." The swarthy man disagreed.
"I've made up my mind, have you forgotten the purpose of my trip? All stand down. Chu Sheng's face was dark and he said unhappily.
"But......" Tu'an opened his mouth uneasily, but was interrupted by Mo Qinglan:
"Celebration? What to celebrate? ”
"Celebrate Emperor Ye winning the Three Kingdoms and unifying half of the sky in Yunyuan. Half a month ago, Emperor Ye had notified the lords of the four countries and the surrounding small countries to come and participate in the celebration. Haven't you heard of such a big thing as a girl? Tuan said.
"Officially unify the Three Kingdoms, don't you want a jade seal? Emperor Ye has the jade seals of the other three kingdoms? Mo Qinglan asked expressionlessly, his eyes slightly lowering to hide all his emotions.
Her words made Tu An couldn't help laughing, and looked at Mo Qinglan as if he was looking at a wild man: "General Killing Heaven handed over the three jade seals to Emperor Ye half a month ago, the girl should have heard of the prestige of Killing Heaven, right?" ”
"You mean killing the heavens...... General Killing Heaven took the jade seal and handed it over to Emperor Ye? Mo Qinglan couldn't help but repeat Tu'an's words.
Obviously, the man called the Heaven-Killer was standing in front of them. Half a month ago, she was still recuperating from her injuries on Snake Island.
"Naturally. It is said that a grand welcome ceremony was held that day, but it was said that the general had been injured a little, and he has been recuperating in his mansion ever since. Emperor Ye also specially allowed him not to go to the court until his injury was healed, which is enough to show that Emperor Ye attaches great importance to General Killing Heaven......" Tu An said cracklingly, but Mo Qinglan's thoughts had already drifted away.
Or is it a failure? The jade seal and the Heaven Killing Sword still fell into Ye Shuangqi's hands.
Mo Qinglan couldn't say anything in his heart, it seemed to be expected, but he was still a little unwilling to know it.
She couldn't ask more, or it would be easy to attract suspicion. However, Tu'an's sentence revealed a lot of information, that is, everyone thought that it was okay for Ji Tian to stay in his general's mansion in a dignified manner, and the battle in the desert was like a cloud of smoke and no one knew.
All the guards died, Qin Qian in Snake Island is still missing, thinking of the letter in her arms that has not yet had time to open, she only feels a little bitter in her throat, and she wants to confirm something but has no way to start.
"Chu Guo came to invite, and it shouldn't be you. What are you going to do tomorrow in town? Mo Qinglan turned his head to look at Chu Sheng and asked, ignoring Tu'an who was foaming at the mouth alone.
The State of Chu is just a small country, Emperor Ye asked them to come, it must be the lord of the State of Chu who came forward in person, and it was not the turn of the third prince Chu Sheng.
"I have an appointment with someone to be in Yeyang City, and it will be tomorrow." Chu Sheng said concisely.
"I'll go with you, and the rest won't have to follow. On the day of the celebration, the city defense was very harsh, and it was easy to expose the target when there were too many people. Mo Qinglan didn't ask deeply, and after speaking, he stepped forward to leave.
"I live in a secluded mansion, waiting for you there." Chu Sheng took off the jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Mo Qinglan, the ring-shaped white jade was decorated with gold wire concentric knots, and the words Chu were faintly embroidered in the concentric knots.
Regarding Mo Qinglan's whereabouts, Chu Sheng also tacitly did not ask, for him, Mo Qinglan could accompany him into the city, which was beyond his expectations.
Mo Qinglan took it and put it into his waist, and the emaciated figure quickly disappeared into the woods.
"Master, she will accompany you alone, and her subordinates are still not at ease." The swarthy man worried.
"With her here, you can rest assured." Tuan leaned in and said firmly.
Chu Sheng looked at the direction Mo Qinglan had left, and his deep starry eyes fell into deep thought.
Yeyang Palace is built on the mountain, majestic and majestic, the city in front is solid, and the rear is a natural barrier formed by the cliff that soars to the sky. In other words, if you want to break through Yeyang City, it is more difficult than ascending to the sky.
