Chapter 47: Escape
General Shen in Xiao Er's mouth is the deputy guard next to Li Xuan, as for Xiao Er's inconsiderate words, most of it is because this incident has taken away a lot of business in the inn, otherwise on weekdays, this inn should be a business and very lively.
Xiao Er led Sheng Lingyun and Xu Yunxi upstairs and opened a room for them, and it just so happened that Mr. Mu also came upstairs. Sheng Lingyun had a relationship with him at the post station, and Mr. Mu also remembered him, so he approached and greeted, "This son, didn't he get out of the city either?" ”
"Yes, sir, too?" Sheng Lingyun responded politely.
As fate would have it, Mr. Mu actually lived next door to them. Mr. Mu introduced his identity to them, his name was Mu Shi, and he had come here from Yewu to talk about the silk business.
"I remember that day you were with another group of people, and they were gone?" Mr. Mu was a little surprised to see that there were only Sheng Lingyun and Xu Yunxi today.
"Oh, my brother Xu only settled in Yuyuan today, and I came to pick him up." Sheng Lingyun put his hand on Xu Yunxi's shoulder, and Xu Yunxi nodded. Then Sheng Lingyun also briefly introduced their identities to Mr. Mu, only saying that they had followed Uncle Wu to meet the world.
The three chatted for a while, Xu Yunxi pretended to be tired and went back to the room with Sheng Lingyun, and before the two stepped into the door, Mr. Mu suddenly stopped Sheng Lingyun, "Hey, Sheng Gongzi, are you willing to play chess and drink with the old man at night?"
"Ah, this!"
"I fell in love with the two sons and wanted to make friends with you, you won't mind if I am presumptuous!"
Mr. Mu's face was sincere, and Sheng Lingyun was very embarrassed.
"Go ahead, I won't accompany the two of you, and I'll ask Mr. Mu for advice another day." Xu Yunxi responded for Sheng Lingyun, and when he went out, he could make new friends, if he refused, he was afraid that Mr. Mu would think that their reaction was suspicious.
"Xu Gongzi have a good rest." Mr. Mu nodded slightly, and then went back to his room.
In the evening, a group of people from earlier went downstairs to eat, and Xu Yunxi and Sheng Lingyun waited by the door, and then they knew where their room was. In particular, I paid attention to a middle-aged man in the lead, who lived alone in a room, which was more beneficial to them, and now waited for the night action.
"Can you do it alone?" Sheng Lingyun asked with concern.
"Don't worry!" Xu Yunxi thought that as long as he entered the leader's house, the documents of their transaction with the Storm Gate would definitely be kept by the leader, and as long as they got it, they would naturally know the identity of this group of people.
After eating, without waiting for Mr. Mu to knock on the door, Sheng Lingyun went to him first. Mr. Mu lit sandalwood, set out a chessboard, and prepared fine carved wine to entertain the guests.
"Mr. is so Yaxing, he actually took the rest of the inn out of the taste of his secluded residence." As soon as Sheng Lingyun stepped into the door, a faint fragrance came to his nose, refreshing people's hearts.
"The old man is a person who loves incense, and wherever he goes, he can not bring money, and incense must be indispensable." Mr. Mu got up to greet the distinguished guests, and the two sat opposite each other, drinking and playing against each other.
The night was dark, the two of them had comparable chess skills, hearty, Mr. Mu was rising, "Sheng Gongzi is good at chess, tonight the old man will kill you without leaving a piece of armor before you return." ”
"Hahaha, the juniors will accompany you."
In the next room, Xu Yunxi always paid attention to the movement outside, until one room and two rooms...... The lights went out before he got up and sat down at the table, waiting for the night to come.
The crescent moon hung high, and a faint light hit the left window, reflecting the shadow of the inn's grandmother's tree. Xu Yunxi drank cold tea to wake up his spirits, not to mention, he had not had a good rest for a long time in the days when he was bumpy on the sea, and his head was still pretending to be a series of major events, and his spirit was also tired.
Xu Yunxi walked softly to the window, and his dark shadow also floated on the window, and it was quiet outside, except for the occasional laughter from the next room, everything fell silent.
After Xu Yunxi made sure that everyone else in the inn was sleeping peacefully, he walked to the door, pulled slightly, and stood sideways in the corridor, and then walked along the root of the wall to the depths of darkness.
Coming to the room of today's leader, Xu Yunxi first approached the door to listen to the movement in the room, and then picked the door lock with ease. He inappropriately remembered the story of Qiao Yiling's fame, the snitch was lured into her room, the same lock-picking technique, and then he was caught. What if it's a trap too? Xu Yunxi shook his head, shaking off the bad thoughts in his mind, when did he become so timid.
But everything is so clever. Xu Yunxi pushed the door open, and was pulled in by a force, and then a cold arrow shot towards his heart, Xu Yunxi didn't have time to see what was grabbing his wrist, so he could only slide down, and he could avoid this fatal arrow.
Unexpectedly, after a catastrophe, another trip came, and a fishing net covered him. It seems that there are a bunch of people in ambush in the room, Xu Yunxi knows that he has fallen into a trap, and forcefully drags the thing that covers his right hand to block it in front of him, avoiding the fishing net. It turned out that someone tied his wrist with a rope, and Xu Yunxi couldn't break free in the melee, so he could only dodge left and right, fighting in a small room with the burden on his body.
The night was getting deeper and deeper, Sheng Lingyun estimated that the time was almost up, deliberately deviated and lost the chess game, and then pretended to be sleepy, and apologized: "Mr. Mu's chess skills are exquisite, and the juniors are willing to bow to the wind, but the juniors still have important things to do tomorrow morning, but I am afraid that I will not be able to accompany Mr. until dawn."
Mr. Mu was picking a child, and when he heard this, he laughed loudly: "Master Sheng, don't worry, the old man is also tired, next time, next time, there will be another battle."
Then he had to send Sheng Lingyun out. Sheng Lingyun got up to say goodbye, but suddenly felt unsteady under his feet and his head was blank. Mr. Mu stood in front of him and smiled proudly, Sheng Lingyun tried his luck, but he lay forward, his consciousness gradually dissipated, and he couldn't gather his strength, and then, as soon as his eyes were black, he fell to the ground.
"Heh, the old man's incense has never missed." Mr. Mu ignored Sheng Lingyun, who fell to the ground, and walked in the direction where Xu Yunxi was.
The movement in the room is getting louder and louder, and there are still people hiding in the dark to release cold arrows, Xu Yunxi is gradually like a trapped beast is restricted in freedom, so he can only try his best to spin his body and shake away the person who is entangled with him, and then pull the rope with his right hand, and then kick away the person who is pulling the rope, untie the restraint, and run to the door.
Xu Yunxi opened the door, and saw a person standing at the door, with a friendly face and a weird smile.
"Mr. Wood!" Xu Yunxi was suddenly stopped by this person, and was suddenly taken aback after seeing his face clearly, but before he could come back to his senses, Mr. Mu raised his hand, and a silver needle stabbed obliquely into Xu Yunxi's shoulder. Xu Yunxi was angry and wanted to escape, but he lost his strength like Sheng Lingyun, and sat down backwards, unable to make a sound with a mouth in his mouth, and the darkness finally swallowed up all the light.
Sheng Lingyun and Xu Yunxi did not return overnight, and the boatmen were even more anxious, Uncle Wu pulled his lips and smiled coldly, and called Li Heng, "You will accompany me out for a while." ”
Uncle Wu ordered the disciples of the Storm Gate to follow this group of boatmen, and then came to Yule Building with Li Heng, Mr. Mu was drinking comfortably downstairs, and when he saw the two of them entering the door, he didn't get up, humming a small tune by himself, waiting for them to sit down by themselves.
"Mr. Mu, where are the people?" It was rare to see Uncle Wu put down the shelf, and Li Heng was even more curious about Mr. Mu's identity.
"Upstairs, I haven't woken up yet." Mr. Mu was in a good mood and poured a glass of wine for each of them.
"Alive!" Uncle Wu was not satisfied with this result, and said calmly.
Mr. Mu was swept away, his face froze instantly, and the cup was put on the table heavily, "Then I'll hand them over to you, and you will deal with it!" ”
Now that the whole city is under martial law, he still has to find a way to transport these two people out of the city, and Uncle Wu himself has no ability to deal with them, but he is here to make a big fuss.
Uncle Wu knew that he was too anxious and said the wrong thing, so he hurriedly picked up the wine and apologized: "Mr. Mu has a lot, take me to meet them, I also have something to say to Mr. Mu."
Mr. Mu glanced at Li Heng, Li Heng was still sitting firmly, and Uncle Wu knew what he meant, "Heng'er is becoming more and more stable." ”
Mr. Mu led the two of them upstairs and walked to Mr. Mu's room, where the two were not tied up, so they slept peacefully on the bed.
Li Heng reacted a little at this time, "Is this safe, what should they do when they wake up?" ”
Only then did Mr. Mu proudly point to the sandalwood burning on the table, "Even if you wake up, you don't have the strength." ”
"What about the officers and soldiers coming to check in a while?" Uncle Wu is still not at ease.
"Don't worry, I have my own way." Mr. Mu turned around and walked outside, "Say another place." ”
Li Heng followed the two of them, and when they arrived at the door, Uncle Wu stopped, "Heng'er, you look at them." ”
"Yes." Li Heng stood obediently.
Mr. Mu had a good impression of Li Heng, and stretched out his hand, "Eat this, otherwise you will faint here in a while." ”
Li Heng took the pill and thanked him, and then Mr. Mu and Uncle Wu walked next door.
Li Heng did not take the medicine, but pinched it in his hand, and then leaned against the door, paying attention to the surrounding movements.
"Now that the Central Plains martial arts are in turmoil, the emperor is in decline, and it may not be long before King Ming is recalled, this is your opportunity." Uncle Wu stood on Mr. Mu's side, bowed his head slightly, and said in a voice that was not too high.
"We've just suffered a defeat, and we won't be able to recover for a while. I also want to ask who helped us get rid of Li Xuan, and if we can, we can discuss cooperation with him. Mr. Mu's face was full of shrewd calculations.
The two of you said a word, Uncle Wu reported all the current movements in the Central Plains to Mr. Mu, but they didn't notice that Li Heng was standing there at the door and listened to their conversation.
Li Heng was quite disappointed in Uncle Wu, although the frightening wind betrayed Yanyu Villa, but Li Heng could still convince himself that it was because the frightening wind had been oppressed by the immortal capital all the year round that they had to find a way out again.
However, while cooperating with the Central Plains forces, Uncle Wu actually sold his homeland. Mr. Mu is a Moluo people, a foreign race that has harassed the Celestial Empire all year round, Li Heng was shocked and disappointed beyond words, and at the same time, he was more determined in one of his thoughts.
Li Heng returned to the room and looked at the pill in his hand, at this time Xu Yunxi showed signs of loosening, he was not like Sheng Lingyun who had inhaled a large amount of incense, it was only because the medicine stained on the silver needle was relatively strong that he suddenly lost his consciousness.
Li Heng approached Xu Yunxi, and Xu Yunxi saw a vague figure in front of him. Li Heng injected a little true qi into each of them, then divided the pill into two and fed it to them, and then returned to the lintel.
After a while, Uncle Wu and Mr. Mu walked back, and Li Heng returned to the table.
"Let's go, Heng'er." Uncle Wu called Li Heng to go back, and Li Heng got up in response, but stumbled and hit the table.
Mr. Mu frowned, "Have you taken the pill?" ”
"Eat." Li Heng blushed.
"Go back and concentrate on cultivation for a while. Eating antidote can be eroded by incense, which shows the weakness of internal force. Although Mr. Mu was stern, Uncle Wu knew that he intended to cultivate Li Heng.
Li Heng followed Uncle Wu out of the inn, and Uncle Wu said, "Let's leave Yuyuan tomorrow, get ready."
"But the boatmen ......," Li Heng worried, once they strike, they were afraid that it would be another trouble.
"Mr. Mu will help us. We'll use their boatmen, and we'll stop in Seremban and then we'll be back to the storm. "Finally keeping the clouds open and seeing the moon, Uncle Wu is full of energy.
