Chapter 30: Betrayal (3)
As soon as Mu Han's order came out, the people around him were in an uproar. The patriarchs and children of several major families have also gathered, and when the reason is confirmed, they can't help but feel that the situation is serious. Mu Chen, who was supposed to be exiled in the Western Continent, suddenly appeared at Chongwu's Ganyuan Conference, even though his life and death were unknown at the moment, but with the temper of Emperor Hao, if he found that someone was secretly helping the abolished prince who committed the crime of rebellion, I am afraid that he would be punished for the same crime......
Yuan Qing and Chenyue stopped in front of the guards, looking at Mo Qian anxiously, unable to believe that the master had let Qing Ling be taken away like this.
Mu Han squinted at Mo Qian, "Holy Monarch, isn't your sect's disciple planning to be an enemy of the Chaoyan royal family?" ”
Mo Qian's lips tightened, and he said coldly, "This matter has nothing to do with Chongwu. Although Qing Ling is my disciple, I don't know why she met the rebel. If His Highness has any suspicions, he can take her down for questioning. ”
His sleeves were lightly rolled up, and his hands were behind his back, "Chongwu disciples obey orders, and they must not stop the guards of the forbidden army!" If anyone violates the order, he will be expelled immediately! ”
Qing Ling trembled, his blood became cold, and he looked at his master in disbelief.
She couldn't believe that Mo Qian, who had raised her since she was a child and was like a biological father to her, would give up herself at such a moment!
Even though the master is cold and strict with her, the care and love are genuine. Therefore, in the face of life and death and catastrophe, the first person Qing Ling thought of for help was Master!
More than 300 years of trust, admiration, and attachment were cold in her heart at this moment, condensed into ice, and pierced her heart!
Qing Ling held back his tears and shouted vigorously: "Yes, this matter is done by me alone, and it has nothing to do with Chongwu!" ”
She raised her head, her gaze slowly moved to Mu Han, and said with great mockery: "Don't think that Prince Mu Chen is deposed, the position of prince must be yours!" You can't even beat me, and after a little lesson the night before, you cried and screamed to the guards for help, what qualifications do you have to command the world? ”
Mu Han suddenly changed color, "You! ”
The night before was controlled by Qing Ling's piano sound, it was a shameful thing, if Luo Yao hadn't analyzed the pros and cons and persuaded himself not to make a big deal about it, how could he easily let go of the girl in front of him?
Many people around had seen the fire lotus signal sent by Mu Han the night before, but they were told afterwards that it was because Emperor Ji accidentally fell and injured himself, and now that he heard Qing Ling tell the reason, he suddenly realized, and glanced at Mu Han's gaze with a faint hint of ridicule.
Qing Ling took advantage of the moment when the guards lost their minds, and suddenly threw the jade card in his hand down Gan Yuan, and he held Mu Chen and fell with him.
The Praetorian guards were shocked and hurriedly summoned their mounts. But because of today's Ganyuan Conference, all the guests' mounts were taken to Bichen Peak, and for a while, they couldn't come.
The jade plaque re-transformed into the appearance of a unicorn beast, carrying Qingling and Mu Chen on its back, and quickly rose into the air.
Mu Han had already been annoyed and angry by Qingling Shicai's words, and he didn't care about Chongwu's face, he just wanted to let that girl die in front of him immediately!
He quickly ordered: "Release the arrows!" They must not be allowed to escape! ”
The guards unsealed their crossbows and lined up on the edge of the cliff, raising their bows to aim at the unicorns. The guards of the Chaoyan royal family were originally an elite team with extremely strong combat effectiveness, and the people who were ordered to protect Mu Han and Ah Jing were carefully selected several times, and they were fast, neat, and strong. The weapons held in the arms are all cast of dark iron from Yuzhong, which glows with black luster in the hot sun, which makes people shudder.
Chenyue's face turned pale and she knelt down in front of Mo Qian, "Master, can you really bear to watch Xiao Liu die in front of us?" ”
Genqing and Masahiro also knelt down. Yuan Qing said: "There must be some misunderstanding in this! Please ask Master to save Qing Ling first, and then interrogate her slowly It's not too late! ”
Mo Qian's face was pale, on the one hand, he was disappointed and angry at Qing Ling's wanton behavior, and on the other hand, he couldn't really ignore her.
He turned his head to summon his mount, but saw the fifth disciple Li Zhong covering his face with a folding fan, lying next to the griffin beast, and whispering something to it.
The griffon, visibly irritated by Li Zhong's words, suddenly let out a sharp whistle, flapped its wings, and soared into the air. A pair of huge wings, fanning out a powerful wind, curled everyone's hair and clothes. Before the Praetorian could unleash his bolts, the Praetorian guard was knocked out of formation by the oncoming griffin, and had to raise his hand to dodge the attack of its claws......
The green spirit drove the qilin to rise rapidly. The entire perimeter of Chongwu is surrounded by a layer of enchantment to prevent outsiders from trespassing or escaping. But this barrier didn't work for Chonggo's disciples. As long as she can fly out of the enchantment range as soon as possible, she will have a chance to escape from the pursuit of the forbidden army.
The strong emotional ups and downs made her fight with all her strength more and more recklessly, completely unaware that her physical strength was already at the end of her strength. Two days of not eating or drinking, coupled with being injured by Luo Yao's sword qi and repeatedly consuming spiritual power, made her no longer able to control the Qilin Jade Plate and maintain the god form of the mount.
Seeing that the unicorn beast was about to approach the barrier above, Qing Ling suddenly felt a suffocation in his chest, and the whole person collapsed as if he had collapsed, and the mount under him suddenly disappeared without a trace.
At this moment, her mind was extremely clear, but she couldn't use half of her strength, and she watched herself and Mu Chen lose their attachment and fall like a broken paper kite......
The crowd on the cliff exclaimed.
The griffon, who had been messing with the guards, suddenly fell silent, flapping its wings and rushing towards the green spirit.
Mu Han swung out several balls of fire, striking at the griffin. When the forbidden army saw the prince move, they no longer cared about it, and threw out a few crossbow arrows, blocking the griffin's path.
Ah Jing grabbed Mu Han's arm and said with tears in her eyes: "Do you have to let Brother Wang fall to death in Ganyuan?" ”
Mu Han snorted coldly, "He deserves to die." This way of dying is less painful! ”
Mo Nan Shiyin on the side was also full of panic, and involuntarily took two steps forward, almost staggering.
Ning Hao grabbed her and said in a suppressed voice: "Everyone is watching, don't lose your temper!" ”
Shiyin pulled out the wrist that was grabbed by her brother, raised her head with a pale face, tried her best to suppress her emotions, and sneered: "Don't worry, I promised my grandfather that I would break off with him cleanly...... Actually, I'd rather he die here today, a hundred! ”
Yuan Qing and Chen Yue exchanged glances, secretly thinking about the secret of unsealing the blade, preparing to attack the Praetorian Guard recklessly......
A sharp birdsong swept from the bottom to the top, and a figure pierced out of the Misty Valley Ganyuan like a sharp arrow, and his hands quickly reached out, holding Qing Ling and Mu Chen, and roared straight towards the enchantment.
All of this happened so suddenly! The crowd was so stunned that they didn't even have time to see the man's face......
Mu Han was furious and ordered the guards: "Chase!" ”
The mounts summoned from Bichen Peak had also flown to Zhong Feng at this time. The Janissaries jumped onto their mounts, crossbows in hand, ready to attack.
Mu Han walked up to Mo Qian and said in an aggressive tone, "Please ask the Holy Monarch to remove the enchantment, so that the forbidden army can chase after the rebels." ”
Mo Qian turned his head to say a few words to Chenyue, who jumped onto the mount of the leader of the Praetorian Guard with a helpless expression and led them towards the enchantment.
Although Chongwu's enchantment is tight, it has no restrictive effect on his disciples.
Luo Yao rushed out of the Chongwu barrier with Qing Ling and Mu Chen, and the Xuanniao under him fell down rapidly, stumbling into a mountain forest in the west.
Luo Yao took Qingling in his arms, jumped down the moment before the Xuanniao touched the ground, and then used his spiritual power to build a barrier to protect Mu Chen's body.
Qing Ling held his dizzy head in both hands and took a few deep breaths before he stabilized his crazy internal breath, but his body was still trembling uncontrollably.
The scene just now is like a heart-rending nightmare!
The edge of life and death, between the lines, is just a blink of an eye.
If she dies like this, loses her consciousness and falls to her death in Gan Yuan, or is buried in the rain of arrows of the guards, she will die in an instant......
Is this the end of life?
Qing Ling struggled to gather his thoughts, raised his head and stared at Luo Yao for a moment, "Why did you save us?" ”
Even the master refused to help, and Xiao Qi, who was fighting with him just now, was willing to bear the charge of being a rebel.
Qing Ling remembered that several senior brothers on the cliff were desperately protecting each other just now, and now the junior brothers took the risk to help, and then thought of the master's ruthless determination, and couldn't help but have red circles in his eyes and choke in his throat.
Luo Yao bent down to inspect Xuanniao's body, his tone was a little unnaturally stiff, as if there was a hint of cold anger, "The question now is not why I saved you on a whim, but how to avoid the pursuit of the guards. ”
Qing Ling controlled his emotions, walked over and squatted next to the Xuanniao, reached out and touched the already cold bird's body, "What's going on?" ”
Luo Yao stood up straight, "Xuanniao was unable to carry the three of them, so I had to cast an illusion on it, probably because it was too fast when it broke through the barrier, so it died of exhaustion. ”
Magic?
Xiao Qi can actually cast illusions on birds?
Qing Ling shook his head, making sure he wasn't dreaming.
Luo Yao groaned and said: "Without the mount, if you want to avoid the pursuit of the forbidden army, I am afraid it will not be easy to ......."
Qing Ling probed Mu Chen's body and saw that although he was still unconscious, he already had a faint breath, so he relaxed a little and said to Luo Yao: "I heard him mention it last night, saying that someone would answer near Chongwu...... And with his mount...... But the question is, how can we find them? ”
Luo Yao thought for a while and said, "Since they are here to answer, they will always pay attention to Chongwu's movements. We should have caught their attention when we broke through the barrier, so for now we just have to wait here and wait for them to come to us. ”
He took out a sachet from his arms, took out a pill bead from it, and handed it to Qing Ling, "This is what you gave me last time, and I haven't had a chance to eat it." Your internal injuries are not light, sit down and recuperate first, and I'll set up a formation, just in case. ”
Qing Ling took the Danzhu of the Wen Stem Fruit, pinched it on his fingertips and looked at it, and his gaze subconsciously moved to Mu Chen who was lying on the ground.
Luo Yao followed Qing Ling's line of sight and immediately understood her thoughts.
"It didn't work for him to eat this." He sat Qing Ling down on the ground, "You can heal your wounds first." I'll find a way to help him. ”
Qing Ling looked up at Luo Yao, "You really have a way?" ”
Luo Yao said, "After you leave, the fire spirit in Gan Yuan will immediately disappear. I guess," he said, "glancing at Mu Chen, "for some reason, the Red Soul Bead entered his body. ”
Qing Ling was shocked, "You mean...... A whole Red Soul Bead? ”
"I'm just guessing. After a while, I manipulated the fire spirit to take a look, and I could know if it was true or not. ”
"You can also control the fire spirit! You're not practicing to get water......"
Luo Yao stretched out his finger to touch Qing Ling's eyebrows, forcing her to restrain her thoughts, "We'll talk again when you're done healing." ”
Qing Ling had to sit down and heal his injuries.
Luo Yao set up a simple formation around him, then helped Mu Chen up, and used his divine power to probe the aura in his body.
That powerful and scorching force was still rampaging through Mu Chen's body, but it was not as disorganized as before. Luo Yao tentatively slowly injected divine power into that hot current, guiding it to calm down little by little.
I don't know how long later, there was a sudden sound in the sky above the woods.
Luo Yao stood up vigilantly and unsealed the Xuan Thunder Sword from his palm.
Qing Ling also opened his eyes and looked at the top of the tree vigilantly, secretly preparing to attack.
