Chapter 141: Mutual Exploitation
Jun Mo asked a pain in his chest, in the past, he always complained that his father was too ruthless, and he was indifferent to the death of his mother, after listening to his father's explanation last time, he had no resentment, but now he heard that his father was worried about his safety, he couldn't help but feel sour in his heart, and his voice was choked, "Father, let your sons and daughters accompany you." ”
Xiang Chengyi's eyes widened, and he shouted: "Get out quickly, stay here for a second longer, it will be more dangerous, don't leave quickly, your father knows your intentions, you don't have to put yourself in danger for my life, go back quickly." ”
Jun Mo only nodded tearfully, "Father and the emperor take care of themselves, and the sons will retire first." ”
Xiang Chengyi waved his hand weakly, Jun Mowen tearfully withdrew from the Qinzheng Palace, quietly slipped out of the palace, and jumped back to the palace when he found that no one was following.
At the same time, the Regent's Mansion received a secret report from the palace and learned that Jun Mowen quietly slipped into the palace to visit Xiang Chengyi.
The regent's face sank, it seemed that this person could not be kept, and he had to be removed as soon as possible. But this person is cunning and ruthless, hiding in the palace all day long, and he can't break in and kill people openly! And he is also the heir to the throne. If this is the case, I am afraid that the people of the whole country will not be convinced, and they will have to find a way to trick him out of the palace. Here, the regent racked his brains to find a way to get rid of Jun Mowen.
Jun Mowen also strengthened the palace guards to prevent the regent from sending people into the palace to assassinate.
The regent came to a luxurious room and said to Mei Xiaotian, who was practicing: "The Mei Palace Master has been recuperating from his injuries in the palace for so long, shouldn't he repay this king?" ”
Mei Xiaotian frowned, "What does the prince want me to do?" Let's put it bluntly. ”
The regent snorted, "The palace master was seriously injured twice, and the king invited the best imperial doctor to treat the palace master's injuries with the best medicinal materials. Now that this king is in trouble, I want to ask the palace master to help me kill someone, I don't know what the palace idea is? ”
Mei Xiaotian frowned, "I don't know who the prince wants to kill?" With the power of the prince, who else can't be killed by the prince, is it the current emperor of Chu? ”
The regent's face sank, "That old thing won't last many days, so I don't bother to care about him." It is his eldest son, the heir to the throne, Xiang Tianlai. This person is not easy to control, so get rid of him as soon as possible. It is inconvenient for the people of our palace to kill people openly, so we have to trouble the palace to take the initiative. ”
Mei Xiaotian smiled slightly, "No problem, isn't it just to kill an ordinary person, and I am not a martial arts master, although my injury is finally healed, it is still no problem to enter the palace in the middle of the night to kill someone." I'm going to get his head back to you tonight. ”
"So there is a palace master to take a step." The regent was overjoyed.
"If there is nothing else, please go back! Tonight is to ask someone to lead the way. Do I still have to heal my wounds? Mei Xiaotian said lukewarmly.
A hint of murderous intent flashed in the Regent's eyes, ", you old horseman, but you're just an outlaw, and you're so arrogant when you hide in this palace." When this king can't use you, you don't know how to die. The regent swallowed his displeasure and turned away.
Mei Xiaotian suddenly opened his eyes and sneered at the back of the regent, "If you want to unload the mill and kill the donkey, you have to have that ability." He stood up and moved his muscles, sighed, a trace of murder flashed in his eyes, the dead woman, there was actually a sword hidden in her body, if it wasn't for the quick reaction, I am afraid she would have died a long time ago. Thinking of this, he said to himself: "It seems that I still have to find a way to get the Nine Shadows Heart Method from Wei Qu in order to improve my internal strength as soon as possible." After killing that big prince tonight, I will go to Wei Guo to find Wei Qu tomorrow. ”
Jun Mo asked the outside world to take care of the affairs of the Heaven and Earth Pavilion and the palace, after dinner, looking at the portraits hanging on the wall, he started from the first painting, and slowly walked around, one by one, forming a vivid picture. The women in the painting are sitting or lying, laughing or crying, angry or angry, all of them are lifelike and have all expressions. After painting dozens of paintings, Jun Mowen walked to the desk again, opened the canvas, thought for a while, and drew a portrait of Zhong Lichun snuggling in his arms and eating peach blossom cake in the palace of King Qi. After the painting was finished, I felt unsatisfactory, and changed a few strokes again before I felt satisfied, and as soon as I hung up the portrait, I heard Shi Cheng exclaim.
Jun Mowen put the portrait away, jumped up from the room, and rushed out of the bedroom. Seeing that Shi Cheng led the palace guards to surround a person.
Jun Mo asked to take a closer look through the moonlight, and couldn't help but exclaim, "It's you?" Mei Xiaotian. ”
Mei Xiaotian heard a familiar voice and looked back, "What are you, Jun Mo asked, why are you here." ”
As soon as Jun Mowen saw Mei Xiaotian, he immediately remembered Zhong Lichun's suffering, and wanted to kill him immediately. But according to the current martial arts, he can't kill him. He didn't know that his Gu worm had been lured out of his body now, so why not stabilize him first and summon the elites of the Heaven and Earth Pavilion to kill him in one fell swoop. He frowned, "Mei Xiaotian, what are you doing in the palace at night?" Could it be that he was instructed by the regent to assassinate this prince? ”
Mei Xiaotian was first surprised, and then rejoiced, "Could it be that you are Xiang Tianlai, the eldest prince of Chu State?" ”
Jun Mo asked and frowned, "What if it's this king?" What do you want? ”
Mei Xiaotian was overjoyed in her heart, God helped me, I didn't expect that Jun Mo would still be the future emperor of Chu State, so as long as he controlled Mei Aoxue, he was afraid that Jun Mo would be disobedient in the future. Thinking of this, he forced Shi Cheng and the other guards back with one palm. shouted loudly: "Jun Mo asked you to tell them to stop too, I have something to say." ”
Jun Mo asked and thought about it, at present, hard work accounts for less than half of the benefits, why not listen to what he has to say? So he waved his hand to make Shi Cheng stop temporarily. said coldly to Mei Xiaotian: "If you have something to say, say it quickly, and let it go if you have a fart." This king doesn't have that much time to talk nonsense with you. ”
Mei Xiaotian sneered, "Jun Mo asked, if you want to sit on the throne of Chu State, you must get rid of the regent to sit on that chair." Is that good? Let's work together, and I'll help you kill the Lord Regent and his men. Is it okay to let you ascend the throne smoothly? ”
"You are so kind, what conditions?" Jun Mowen was full of disbelief.
"Huh! Of course, there are conditions, after you become the emperor of Chu, lend me 300,000 troops. Mei Xiaotian said with a smile.
"300,000 troops, what do you want to do?" Jun Mowen didn't expect him to make such a condition. couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly asked. ”
Mei Xiaotian frowned, "Of course borrowing troops is to fight, why do you borrow troops if you don't fight?" ”
"You want to attack that country, why do you want to fight?" Jun Mo asked step by step.
Mei Xiaotian smiled coldly, "Of course it's the Qi country, they destroyed my country back then, and I want to get back what belongs to me all the time."
"Zitu destroyed your country?" Jun Mo asked and thought for a moment, "Could it be that you are a descendant of the Emperor of Yingguo?" ”
Mei Xiaotian said hatefully: "Yes, I am a descendant of the royal family of Yingguo, I want to return to the country in my dreams, as long as you can agree to my condition, I will help you kill the regent and his men." ”
"Are you hiding in the palace all this time?" Jun Mo asked in a lost voice.
Mei Xiaotian's face sank, "You don't need to know this, I just ask you if you agree to my conditions." ”
Jun Mo asked and thought about it for a while, Mei Xiaotian probably wanted to control the entire Chu State through the Gu worm on his body, but unfortunately he miscalculated, the Gu worm on his body had already reached Zhong Lichun's body, and he couldn't control himself. Thinking of Zhong Lichun, Jun Mo felt a pain in his heart, and he didn't know where Mei Xiaotian's mother Gu was placed, whether he raised Gu with his own body or not, since this was the case, why not plan it, first promise to cooperate with him, get rid of the regent first, and then slowly find out the whereabouts of the mother Gu.
Thinking of this, Jun Mowen nodded slowly, "I can lend you 300,000 troops, but you have to find a way to solve the problem yourself." ”
Mei Xiaotian smiled, "Jun Mo asked, you told them all to go away, I told you a secret." ”
"What's the secret?" Jun Mo asked puzzled. waved his hand to let Shi Cheng lead people to retreat temporarily.
"Young master, Mei Xiaotian can't be trusted, you have to be less careful." Shi Cheng was not at ease, turned back three times in one step, and slowly moved back.
Jun Mo turned back to Mei Xiaotian and said, "What secret, tell me quickly." ”
Mei Xiaotian smiled, "Mo Penghao knows a secret treasure map, as long as you take this treasure map with him, we will open the treasure together and half, is that okay?" ”
"It's not good, the map is in the hands of my Xue'er's father, why should I divide you in half." Jun Mo asked for fear that he would be suspicious, so he deliberately did not mention Mo Lingshuang, but deliberately mentioned Mo Aoxue.
When Mei Xiaotian heard this, she was even more happy, "Okay, I'll go with you to find it, I want to do it in two, can you do the rest?" ”
Jun Mo asked, frowned, and was silent for a long time, "I'll go to Xue'er first and ask, who knows if the map can be obtained." We'll talk about that when we get the map. ”
Mei Xiaotian didn't want to force him, for fear that she would force him tighter and backfire. So he nodded and said, "Okay, you can find a way to get it from Mo Penghao first." ”
Jun Mo asked, "I'll talk about this later, let's say that if you want to cooperate at the moment, you can come out with some sincerity first, otherwise how can I trust you?" ”
Mei Xiaotian laughed, "No problem, I will remove the stumbling block for you as soon as possible, you just wait for my good news." After speaking, he jumped out of the palace.
Jun Mowen looked at his distant back, and his face sank, "Shi Cheng, you go and ask Mo Aoxue to come to the palace quickly, saying that I have something to find her." ”
After hearing this, Shi Cheng hurriedly flew to the Heaven and Earth Pavilion overnight, and dragged Mo Aoxue, who had just had breakfast, to pick up.
Mo Aoxue heard Jun Mo ask if she was in a hurry to find her, so she hurriedly dropped the dishes and chopsticks, and quickly followed Shi Cheng to the capital. Seeing Shi Cheng bring himself into the palace, he couldn't help but be surprised. Why does the brother-in-law live in the palace, does he have any friendship with the prince of Chu? Mo Aoxue was suspicious and was taken to the study by Shi Cheng.
Shi Cheng knocked on the door, "Young Master, Miss Mo is here." ”
Jun Mo asked, "Please come in." ”
Shi Cheng pushed the door open and made a gesture of invitation to Mo Aoxue. Mo Aoxue walked in and saw Jun Mowen sitting at the desk and writing paperwork. So he cried out in his heart: "Brother-in-law, why do you live in the palace? ”
