Chapter 173: The Truth, Where Ying Zheng Is
——Xianyang Palace, outside the main palace.
In the afternoon, there is no sun and no wind, the blue-gray sky is as clean as ever, and the coiling dragon carved by the boulder is silent, only knowing that the fine water in the jaw flows for a long time. The clear stream is shining on the mirror, the spring pool is flooded with clear and transparent ripples, and the silent origin spiritual land is always overflowing with a pleasant breath of life, so that everyone who has stood for a long time can feel a trace of peace of mind.
In the empty and silent Miyagi ground, Mulan held the ancient silver giant sword in both hands, supporting her seriously injured body and half-kneeling on the ground. The leaf purple short skirt tied around her waist has been soaked with blood, and the ground under her body is also overflowing with a circle of blood, and her body that has lost too much blood and has exhausted her physical strength is close to a state of semi-shock, but Mulan is tightly knit and always firmly holds her weak body.
All this blood was flowing from the sword wound on her right arm. Originating from the "Evil Spirit" characteristic of the Ghost Warrior's secret power "Demon Evil" and the Ghost Craft's Famous Knife, Mulan was unable to seal the broken bloodline with magic blue energy, so the injured right arm was bleeding nonstop, staining the clothes red all the way and dripping all over the ground.
And now, on her weak right arm, the red blood has gradually coagulated, and the deep wound covered by the blood-red rag no longer oozes blood. When Miyamoto Musashi lifts the awakening of the ghost warrior, the effect of the secret power "Demon Evil" disappears, and the "Evil Destroying" characteristic on the sword wound naturally cannot be triggered. So Hua Mulan immediately surged the demon blue energy in her body, quickly sealed the injured and broken blood, and no longer let the blood continue to flow out.
Although too much blood has been lost, causing unimaginable trauma and load to the body, after finally stopping the blood flow, Mulan can be regarded as relieved of the crisis of being forced to bleed to death, and can finally hold on to her mind more easily to face the current sudden situation.
And just ten steps in front of Mulan, Miyamoto Musashi was standing trembling in place.
He held the long sword in each hand, the short sword Qiu Cliff, and the body wearing the linen silk battle suit was full of more than a thousand small sword marks, and the sword marks overflowed with fine blood, gathering and flowing to the soles of his feet, overflowing a circle of blood on the ground, and his bleak figure stood on top of a coagulated bloodstain.
Bearing the sword dancer's secret skill "Crystal Sword Dance" head-on, it caused quite heavy trauma to Miyamoto Musashi's body, and after a thousand scars and blood fell from his body, even the toughest body should have fallen. But Miyamoto Musashi's majestic eyes straightened his spine and stood firm with his strong willpower.
After a decisive battle between the "Blade of Legends" and the "Fuso Sword Master", both Mulan and Miyamoto Musashi were seriously injured and reached the point of the end of the crossbow, but at this time, before they could fight for the winner, things changed unexpectedly.
Miyue appeared.
In the silent and anxious atmosphere, both Mulan and Miyamoto Musashi raised their stern faces, staring solemnly at the bewitching woman who fluttered and hung in the void.
Against the backdrop of the blue-gray sky, Mi Yue stood hanging in the air, her long burgundy hair fluttering in the air, and the dark purple streamer on her whole body swirled and floated, and she lightly opened her red lips, flashing her demon red and dark blue heterochromatic pupils, and fell her gaze to the two people on the ground who were already seriously injured.
Mi Yue glanced at Miyamoto Musashi lightly, then turned her gaze and stared at the long-haired woman with cherry red hair who was holding a giant sword and was seriously injured on the ground, with a trace of fiery doubt in her eyes.
"Who are you? Why does it have a token of the mourning family? Mi Yue faced Mulan, raised her left hand, and put the little Mi Pattern Bat she had just caught in her hand in front of her. Then his lips opened slightly, and he asked in a noble and cold voice.
"I am Mulan, entrusted by Liu Bang, the king of Han, to take this Mi pattern bat and sneak into Xianyang Palace to rescue Empress Dowager Xuan." Mulan looked up at the stunning woman in the sky and said in a deep voice.
Liu Bang...... Sure enough, he received the Gourded Bat I sent. Mi Yue frowned slightly, and whispered to herself, "It's just that it took so long to send someone here, what's the use?" ”
Immediately, Mi Yue turned her gaze back, looked down at Hua Mulan and said coldly.
"I am Mi Yue, the Empress Dowager of Qin Chuxuan and the person who is the equalizer of the dynasty."
"Sure enough, sure enough, she's the one I want to save." After hearing Mi Yue's words, Mulan's eyes suddenly lit up, and she was surprised in her heart. The development of things completely exceeded her expectations, and before she could completely solve the difficulty of Miyamoto Musashi, the person she wanted to save in Xianyang Palace had already appeared in front of her by herself. Although I don't know how Miyue escaped from the ban by herself, but the current situation is obviously in her favor, now that Miyue has appeared, there is no need for her to fight hard with Miyamoto Musashi anymore, as long as important information is conveyed to Miyue and convinces her to stand on their side, everything will be considered successful.
And with Miyue's wisdom, as long as he knew the crisis that the forbidden technique "Reincarnation Day" was about to break out, he would immediately understand the seriousness of the situation. At that time, as long as Miyue said a word of affirmation, Mulan would immediately be able to retreat with her, go to the black land, and make peace with Zhang Liang.
So after a moment of silence, Mulan immediately looked at Miyue with a hot gaze and said excitedly.
"Empress Dowager Xuan, please listen to me, I have something very important to tell you now......"
"You don't have to say it, I have something very important in my own right now. I'm grateful that you can take the risk to come to Xianyang Palace to save me, but I'm not in the mood to worry about anything else right now. However, Mi Yue interrupted Mulan's words and didn't let her continue at all.
At this moment, the anxiety in Mi Yue's heart has reached the extreme, from the time she broke through the seal of the crystal coffin at all costs, she had only one thought in her heart, that is, Ying Zheng, she must pull Ying Zheng back from the abyss.
Mi Yue knew that in the three years that she was imprisoned in the crystal coffin, many things must have happened in the outside world, and even the Qin Chu Kingdom had undergone earth-shaking changes, and as a person with equal power equal to the status of the emperor, there must be too many things in the country that she needed to be held accountable and solved. But Mi Yue doesn't care about all this.
When Ying Zheng finally used his lightsaber to strike the crack on the crystal coffin and turned to leave, Mi Yue's eyes seemed to see the ultimate of everything. At that moment, she deeply realized how much she cared about Ying Zheng and how much she loved Ying Zheng, she could accept being imprisoned in the crystal coffin to death, but she couldn't accept Ying Zheng going to the abyss so decisively, she couldn't accept Ying Zheng saying goodbye to her in this way.
No. No!
Now, Mi Yue clearly knows what is the most important thing in her life, she can do nothing, but she must save Yingzheng back.
Empress Dowager Xuan? Equalizer? A life of glory and wealth? Supremacy? Mi Yue doesn't want all of this anymore, even if it's the life and death of the country, she doesn't want to care. Because none of this is her most important, her most important is only Yingzheng.
So Mi Yue interrupted Mulan without hesitation, not wanting to spend any more time listening to her words, but directly turned her gaze and looked solemnly at another person on the ground, Miyamoto Musashi standing on the ground with swords in both hands.
"If I'm not mistaken, your name is Miyamoto Musashi." With a slight pinch of her left hand, Mi Yue refined the small Mi pattern bat in her hand into a dark purple energy and flowed back into her body, and then said in a deep voice towards Miyamoto Musashi. Although Miyue has been confined in the crystal coffin, she still clearly remembers that she saw Miyamoto Musashi guarding Yingzheng three years ago, but she was surprised that he was a foreigner, and after three years, he was still under Yingzheng's hands.
"Yes, I'm Miyamoto Musashi." Miyamoto Musashi raised his head and stared at Mi Yue, and said without the slightest disguise. He did have a slight impression of Mi Yue, although he had only met him once, and he had never heard of it in the past three years, but he was not too surprised. Originally, he had been concentrating on kendo and ignoring foreign affairs, even if he was in the Xianyang Palace and had not met, it was not a strange thing. So Miyamoto Musashi took the power as himself, and in the past three years, he ignored the existence of this Empress Dowager Xuan and the equalizer.
But in fact, he really didn't know that Mi Yue was sealed in the secret room of the Mi Palace by Ying Zheng. And it's not just him, even Arthur, Zhong Wuyan, Daji, or more others don't know about it. The only people who really know about Miyue's ban are Ying Zheng, Bai Qi and Bian Que.
And when Mi Yue heard Miyamoto Musashi's affirmative answer, the heterochromatic gaze in her eyes immediately became hot.
"What about Yingzheng? Where is Yingzheng? Tell me where Yingzheng is! Mi Yue asked Miyamoto Musashi almost like a shout, her cold face became serious, and her voice became extremely excited. Between the words, she also subconsciously hid the remnant blood of her right arm, which had torn her body and broken skin, behind her, to avoid being discovered by Miyamoto Musashi or Hua Mulan The injury of her broken right arm, and at the same time asked Miyamoto Musashi one by one.
And hearing Mi Yue's excited questioning, Miyamoto Musashi and Hua Mulan couldn't help but be surprised, especially Mulan. It wasn't until she heard Mi Yue's question at this time that she suddenly realized that she had been in Xianyang Palace for so long, and she had lost both of Miyamoto Musashi, but she had never seen Yingzheng's figure.
Hua Mulan was also puzzled, and secretly let go of her eagerness to persuade Miyue, and turned her gaze to Miyamoto Musashi like Miyue.
However, in the face of the suspicious or anxious gazes of the two, Miyamoto Musashi just stood quietly in the congealed blood, and did not spit out a breath for a long time, but in his silent gaze, there was a faint hint of deep color.
"Tell me! Where is Ying Zheng now? Seeing that Miyamoto Musashi was silent for a long time, Mi Yue knew that her judgment in her heart was correct, and Yingzheng must be going to do something terrible now. So Mi Yue asked more emotionally, as if she wanted to force the answer from Miyamoto Musashi no matter what.
But no matter how excitedly Miyue asked, Miyamoto Musashi kept silent, just condensed his eyes, clenched his two-handed swords, as if he was doing some huge inner struggle, and he couldn't reply for a long time.
And the more Miyamoto Musashi was silent, the more excited Mi Yue's emotions became, and the more Mulan felt a great sense of unease. At this moment, she had an inexplicable feeling in her heart, they had calculated everything about the enemy in this huge game, but only ignored Yingzheng. Although Ying Zhenggui is the Emperor of Qin, he doesn't have to do everything himself, but if he is really doing something in person now, the consequences are likely to subvert their calculation of the overall situation.
Thinking like this, Mulan's mood became more and more urgent, and her cherry-red pupils stared closely at Miyamoto Musashi's face, as if silently waiting for him to tell the truth.
But Mi Yue couldn't wait, she couldn't wait at all. Now, every minute consumed is an ordeal for her. Every minute of delay, she felt that Ying Zheng was one step closer to the abyss, and her hope of saving him was even more slim.
So she couldn't wait any longer, her fair-skinned left hand stretched forward, her five fingers changed and sealed, and the long-brewing magic blue energy emanated from her fingertips, condensing into a dark purple light that covered her whole body.
In an instant, the dark purple light bloomed in the air, and countless screams echoed out, and then Miyue transformed into one hundred and eight dark purple bats, which instantly flew towards Miyamoto Musashi at an extremely fast speed, and then flew around Miyamoto Musashi's calm body, like a dark purple wind formed by bats, trapping Miyamoto Musashi's Xiao Se figure.
There is no need for any verbal embellishment, and the huge murderous aura has already surrounded Miyamoto Musashi in a tangible way. He subconsciously raised his two-handed sword, and the sword mark on his left eye became extremely sharp. But no matter how tough Miyamoto Musashi is, the blood that splashed on the ground and the serious injuries he suffered are indisputable facts, and it is impossible for him to fight against Miyue anymore.
Therefore, when one hundred and eight Gourded Bat swept by, he didn't even have time to swing out the Peerless Whirlwind, and his body fell heavily in the powerful and dense impact. As soon as his left leg was bent, the whole strong figure was also unsupportably kneeling on the ground, and the swords in both hands were plunged straight into the ground, and many bloody scars were added to the body.
At this moment, the one hundred and eight bats flying beside Miyamoto Musashi suddenly condensed, and the dark purple light flickered, and they transformed back into human form.
"Tell me where Yingzheng is now! If you don't want to die! Mitsuki sank in front of Miyamoto Musashi, silently raised her left hand, and then issued a final threat to him with a fierce expression. It seems that if Miyamoto Musashi doesn't tell the truth again, she will really take his life in one fell swoop.
And Miyamoto Musashi half-knelt on the ground, clenched the sword with both hands, and stood up with his seriously injured body, and then frowned, enduring the various pains on his body, still his eyes were deep and silent.
But after pondering for a moment, Miyamoto Musashi finally spoke up.
He stared at the red blood stains that had solidified on the ground, and recalled in his mind the gaze of Ying Zheng who had last seen him, and in his memory, in the eyes of the dragon, there was an unprecedented determination. It was really a suspicious feeling when he remembered it, so he exhaled slowly in a deep voice.
"Ying Zheng, it's no longer in Xianyang Palace."
As soon as the words fell, the expressions of Mulan and Mi Yue changed, especially Mi Yue, there was more sternness and panic in her excited expression, so she immediately asked.
"So where is he now? Where is it? ”
Miyamoto Musashi raised Xiao Se's face and lowered his gaze to the Origin Spirit Land a hundred meters away, he stared at the eyes of the stone carved dragon on the spring pool, as if he saw Yingzheng's pupils. So after a moment of silence, he finally said in a deep voice.
"Black ground, Afang Palace."
