Chapter 71: Retrieving the Weapon
"Lord Wang, ...... the weapon?" Zheng Xuan glanced at the Hanshan Temple Road.
King Xuanyuan's face was gloomy, and he didn't answer, just now he was attacked by anger, and now that he has eased up, he found something more serious.
He lives here in great secrecy, and he doesn't reveal anything about it, so who would say it?
Suddenly, a person's face flashed in his mind, a cruel gaze, Song Shiqi had come to him before, but he refused to see him, and now he thinks that it can only be her!
Then the person who took the drug must be Song Mingyue.
After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and said, "Go Song Shiqi and catch it for me!" ”
Zheng Xuan suddenly realized and said, "Yes." ”
"The rest of the people, attack and take back their weapons."
A person with the courage to stand up and asked, "But the brothers in the prince's thatched hut, won't we go to the rescue?" ”
Those were brothers who were born and died with them, and now in the hands of the enemy, there was still hope for salvation, and he didn't want those people to be abandoned like this.
However, only King Xuanyuan snorted coldly in response, his vicious gaze fell on that person, and the words that came out immediately were as if they wanted to come from hell.
"Drag it down and behead this person!"
The rest of the people looked at each other, but none of them dared to speak out against each other.
King Xuanyuan said yes, even though they all felt cruel, but if they did something wrong, it was very likely that they would be the next people to be executed.
The man's face turned pale with fright just now, how could he forget that King Xuanyuan was a decisive person?
Compared with that group of people, King Xuanyuan valued these weapons more obviously, and he immediately begged for mercy, "Lord Wang, my subordinates know their mistakes, and I ask the prince to spare my subordinates." ”
King Xuanyuan didn't give him a look, he stopped expressionlessly, and motioned to take him down.
When the rest of the people saw this, although they were cold, they were numb by the lessons they had learned over the years, and they didn't blink their eyes, and immediately executed the man.
"The rest, rush me!"
As the words fell, the people around rushed to the top of the mountain.
At this time, Mu Chen led several people to the backyard of Hanshan Temple silently in the dark night, "Everyone went in to search for one, and immediately reported if there was a clue." ”
"Yes." The night waited for the others to nod.
Mu Chen's deep gaze fell on the door of the room corresponding to him, and he also climbed in through the window.
By the light of the moon, he began to look in the house, but after looking around, he didn't find it, and just as he was about to leave, suddenly his eyes fell on the kang.
It is impossible for the room of Hanshan Temple to be inhabited by a mechanism, and the only place where the weapon may be hidden is under the kang.
While thinking about it, he had come to the kang, and when he came to the wooden board on the kang with cold eyes, a large box fell into his eyes.
When I looked at it, it was indeed a weapon lost in the first battle of Shigu Mountain.
As the discovery was made, several boxes of weapons were found in different rooms in succession.
"In the dark night, you go and call someone to move out, and the rest are on guard."
"Yes." Heiye and the others said respectfully.
However, as soon as the night walked out a few steps, he found an abnormality, his cold brows furrowed slightly, and when he was about to speak, Mu Chen's hand raised slightly.
Signaling him not to make a sound, Mu Chen's ears moved, and he also heard the sound of fighting at the foot of the mountain.
"It seems that King Xuanyuan has returned, a few of you have found a way to transport the weapons back to the yamen, I'll go down and take a look at the situation."
Now that King Xuanyuan is back, it is likely to be at the foot of the mountain, which is a good opportunity to capture King Xuanyuan.
"General, please rest assured, we must transport this batch of weapons back to the yamen and hand them over to the imperial court."
The night has been with him for so long, and he knows what this batch of iron tools means, and he doesn't dare to be negligent.
Mu Chen answered lightly, thought left and right, and finally decided to explain to the monks in the temple first, so that they should not come out no matter what movement they heard.
The monk saw early on that he was not an ordinary person, and although he was surprised by what happened this time, he didn't ask too much about what he shouldn't ask.
"Please also ask the donor not to involve Hanshan Temple."
Mu Chen nodded, knowing that this was their bottom line, "I'll try my best." ”
After explaining, he stepped on the breeze and quickly came to the foot of the mountain, and began to search for the location of King Xuanyuan.
Suddenly, his eyes locked on the carriage not far away, and looking at the people sitting inside, his angular face suddenly turned cold.
With a cold snort, he pulled out the sword in his hand and stabbed it in the direction of King Xuanyuan.
At the same time as he discovered, the people in the carriage also saw him, looking at the approaching blades, the corners of the mouths of the people in the carriage raised slightly.
At the same time, he pulled out the sword in his hand and broke through the car door, giving Mu Chen a loss.
When Mu Chen saw the person flying out of it, a trace of surprise flashed between his eyebrows, it was actually Zheng Xuan, it seemed that it was still too late.
And when he lost his mind, Zheng Xuan approached him and stabbed him in the face fiercely, Mu Chen avoided it, and he could dodge it, but his arm was injured.
Zheng Xuan looked at the blood on the blade, and a bloodthirsty smile rose on the corner of his mouth, "The general hasn't seen him for a long time, and his swordsmanship has improved a lot. ”
Mu Chen snorted coldly, "You're not bad." When the words fell, he didn't talk nonsense, he made a quick and ruthless move, and he didn't underestimate the enemy.
Zheng Xuan is a respectable opponent, if he loses his mind like just now, he will definitely end up with injuries all over his body.
In a few breaths, the two have already made more than a dozen moves, and each time it is a tie, and it is difficult to decide the winner.
Mu Chen's handsome brows were slightly locked, every time he made a move, Zheng Xuan would avoid it, which was delaying time and giving King Xuanyuan enough time to leave.
No, he's going to change the strategy.
In an instant, the way he made his moves changed, and the sword blade that originally came in front of Zheng Xuan suddenly appeared behind Zheng Xuan in the next second.
The blade of the sword immediately slapped on the back, although it was not cut, but it also caught Zheng Xuan off guard and panicked the move.
Mu Chen took advantage of this gap to make a quick move, picking up a sword and stabbing it in Zheng Xuan's chest.
Zheng Xuan was in pain, looked down at the blade that entered the flesh, snorted, pulled out the sword, and at the same time retreated with the force of the soles of his feet.
After retreating to a safe area, he stopped to wipe the blood on the corner of his mouth, and said coldly: "The general's body method has really grown a lot, and he will definitely learn it again in the future." ”
He had bought King Xuanyuan enough time, and now that he was injured, he was definitely not Mu Chen's opponent.
After thinking about it, although he was unwilling, he still turned around and fled.
Mu Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, Zheng Xuan wanted to escape, it would definitely be difficult to catch up again.
At this time, Heiye and the others had already transported all the weapons to the foot of the mountain, and when they saw him in a daze, they said loudly: "General, we have put all the weapons on the carriage, will we transport them away now?" ”
"Ship it to the Yamen, I'll go and see next month."
After so much time, he didn't see the signal of the agreement between the two, although it could show that the latter had no accident, but he was still not at ease.
"Hmm." Knowing the worry in his heart, the night didn't say anything more, looked at the person behind him, and beckoned him to go back.
Mu Chen walked out not far away, and saw Song Mingyue and his party walking in his direction, and his hanging heart fell back into his stomach.
Although he saw Song Mingyue come back safely, he still had a trace of regret in his heart, he shouldn't have let her go alone.
Song Mingyue didn't know what he was thinking, and when she came to him, she was a little disappointed: "We didn't find the weapon, what about you?" ”
They searched around the hut, but they didn't find any trace of the weapon and knew that they were trapped, so they immediately rushed back to support Mu Chen.
Mu Chen's deep eyes showed a little tenderness, gently touched her hair, and said with a smile: "I have found it, let them be transported back to the yamen in the dark night and handed over to the imperial court." ”
"Where's King Xuanyuan?" Song Mingyue wondered.
A trace of disappointment flashed in Mu Chen's eyes, if he could hurry, he might be able to catch King Xuanyuan, "He's not here, let him run away." ”
After hearing this, Song Mingyue didn't have too many surprises, and said with relief: "King Xuanyuan is cunning by nature, so he must have discovered it in advance. ”
After speaking, she found that Mu Chen's face was a little pale, sniffed her nose, and found the blood flowing from his arm, frowning slightly and flashing a trace of worry, "You are injured." ”
"It's fine, it's just a flesh wound." Mu Chen shook his head, this little injury was nothing to him.
Song Mingyue didn't think so, if the small wound was not treated well, it would be fatal.
She glanced at the people behind her and said loudly: "Iron Blood, you hand over these people to the yamen." ”
Iron Blood nodded, leading the rest of the group to follow him.
"Shall we go back first?"
Mu Chen nodded, seeing the worry on her face, his heart warmed.
At this time, in a courtyard in the west of the city, the atmosphere was very different, making people a little breathless.
Song Shiqi secretly observed King Xuanyuan's face, sighed in her heart, and said innocently: "I don't know why the prince called the people to come late at night?" ”
"Humph!" King Xuanyuan trembled with anger, and his face darkened a little, "The address of the temple is what you said, right?" ”
Song Shiqi's expression froze, and she secretly tightened her skirt, could it really be because of her words that something happened?
"Lord Wang, I don't know what you're talking about."
King Xuanyuan glanced at her subtle expression, and seeing that she didn't want to admit it, he slapped his palm on the table, which was visible to the naked eye, and the table instantly shattered to the ground.
"Looks like you're going to be dragged down!"
Song Shiqi was so frightened that her face turned pale, her body seemed to be drained of strength, and she collapsed to the ground, "I said...... All this was forced by Song Mingyue to say it, she drugged me, and I came to look for the prince yesterday for this matter. ”
"Lord Wang, I definitely don't dare to be disrespectful to you, I am forced to be helpless, ask for forgiveness from the prince."
King Xuanyuan was extremely angry, but he was not annoyed, but everyone could feel the killing aura he exuded, "So, she is likely to force you a second time?" ”
Song Shiqi immediately shook her head, her brain was running at a rapid pace, and at the same time, her hatred for Song Mingyue became deeper and deeper, she was reduced to this point by defeating the latter's hand.
When she raised her head again, her eyes were full of resentment, and she said loudly: "No, no, she has already given me the antidote, and she will definitely come to me again through this time, I can give the prince chess pieces to help the prince." ”
