Chapter Seventy-Eight: Making a Request

Although Mu Chenmo said that she had the title of general who protected the country, the emperor did not trust her, and after returning from northern Xinjiang, she had been idle at home, and where to find the border defense map.

After thinking about it, I wondered if this person had temporarily decided to change to a border defense map after seeing him, or if someone was secretly manipulating him.

Before appearing, he had already checked the surroundings of the Octagonal Pavilion, but he didn't find where the person who had just set up Qi Yu was hiding? These people are definitely not simple.

Seeing that Mu Chenmo was silent, the man's expression tightened, this young general of the protector of the country could not also be a pedantic loyal minister, and threatened loudly.

"General Mu, if you don't agree, you will wait to collect the body of the Seventh Prince tomorrow."

Hearing his words, Mu Chenmo deliberately showed a look of embarrassment: "What are you going to do with the defense map?" This kind of thing that brings disaster to the country and the people, I Mu Chenmo will not do it. ”

"Could it be that General Mu is going to end up with relatives and friends for the sake of the defense map, even if the emperor knows that he is afraid that he will hate you from the heart."

Mu Chenmo pretended to think with a hesitant look on his face, and the man saw Mu Chenmo's expression and guessed that he was shaken, and tried to comfort him.

Seeing that the heat was almost off, Mu Chenmo showed an open look on his face, gritted his back molars and said.

"Okay, I promise you, but I can't torture the Seventh Prince anymore, and I have to treat his injuries, if you can't do it, even if I take it, I won't give it to you."

When the man heard Mu Chenmo's words, his face was happy, and he hurriedly nodded in agreement, and promised that when Qi Yu met next time, there would be no new injuries.

After hearing his assurance, Mu Chenmo stopped talking nonsense and turned to leave, the man kept smiling until he couldn't see Mu Chenmo's figure, and hugged his fist in the darkness in the northeast corner.

A man wearing a black cloak and covering his body tightly walked into the pavilion: "The matter is done, that jade pendant can be seen clearly." ”

The man bowed down and a trace of awe flashed in his eyes: "Master, although it is only a glance, the subordinates must be innocent of Pisces Jade Pendant." ”

"It seems that Qi Yu shouldn't know the role of this jade pendant, but he can agree with Mu Chenmo to hand over the defense map when he can."

The man's face was embarrassed when he heard this, he patronized and threatened Mu Chenmo to take the border defense map, and actually forgot to make an appointment with him to meet him?

When the cloaked man saw the man's expression, he knew that this person had forgotten to set a time with Mu Chen, and this waste had not been long-term, if it hadn't been for the fact that he was still useful, he would have disposed of him a long time ago.

"Find a way to inform Mu Chenmo that he will still trade here in three days."

The man knew he had missed something, so he saluted and promised to complete the task.

Mu Chenmo avoided the guards at the city gate, secretly returned to the dark General's Mansion, and walked to the small study of Qingsong Courtyard without lighting the lamp, and sat down directly.

Where else can the border defense map be besides the palace, if you tell the emperor about Qi Yu's kidnapping, will the emperor use it in exchange for Qi Yu.

Probably not, the last thing the royal family lacks is ruthlessness and cold-bloodedness, how can the emperor let the Great Qi Kingdom be turbulent for the sake of a waste son.

Or think of another way, everything in the army is in the hands of the hussar general Yang Xuan, presumably the military deployment of the border is also arranged by him, and he should have a backup there.

Mu Chenmo, who was leaning on the window, watched the sky outside gradually turn from black to white, and sighed, it seemed that he had to wait for the evening.

Sneaked back to the Seven Kings' Mansion quietly, and just changed back into women's clothes, I saw the little third son running over with a roll.

"Princess, the kidnappers have sent a letter again."

Zhan Xin looked at it, a sneer pulled out from the corner of Mu Chenmo's mouth, when he heard that the kidnappers changed the exchange items last night, he deliberately pretended to be hesitant, just to force the other party to be anxious to see if he showed his flaws.

Unexpectedly, the tall man patronized and forced him to comply, and he actually forgot to say the time of the next transaction, it seems that he has figured it out when he goes back, and he should be able to get the border defense map in three days.

Xiao Sanzi had been observing Mu Chenmo's expression, and when he saw her raise her head, she spoke cautiously.

"Princess, how is the prince? Did you see him last night? ”

Mu Chenmo nodded: "Your prince is still alive but he has suffered a little crime, and the kidnappers have temporarily changed their minds and asked for something else, and I can exchange it for your prince." ”

The third son didn't dare to ask about the specific situation when he heard it, so he could only kneel down and kowtow to Mu Chenmo: "Thank you princess, thank you princess." ”

Waving her hand weakly at the little third son, Mu Chenmo walked to the inner room and tossed for a night, she needed to sleep well, nourish her spirits, and visit the Hussar General's Mansion at night.

Xiao Sanzi lay on the ground and watched the thin and slender back gradually fade away, and couldn't understand why General Mu, who had taken off his men's clothes, looked so thin and slender.

He still firmly believes that as long as General Mu wants to save the prince, no matter how harsh the conditions put forward by the kidnappers, General Mu will definitely be able to save the prince with all his beards and tails.

Mu Chenmo slept until the sky was getting dark, until his stomach gurgled, then he got up from the bed, changed the little third son to put the meal on the table, washed up and ate unhurriedly.

The little third son silently served her with food on the side, there were many people and great power, he always felt that a few more people would be more secure to rescue the prince, but he didn't dare to say words of comfort.

Mu Chenmo lowered his head and ate quickly, not paying attention to the expression of the little third son at all, and thinking about how to visit the Hussar General's Mansion at night tonight.

Send away the third son, Mu Chenmo took a walk in Wutong Garden to eat, tonight is the time to meet Mu's mother, and Mu Mu doesn't know if she will be sad if she doesn't appear.

I can't figure out what I'm doing, Qi Yu's accident has only advantages and disadvantages for her, and I don't know which of my tendons is wrong, so I have to save him and see him safe before I can leave with confidence.

Maybe it's guilt, if he hadn't knocked him unconscious, Qi Yu wouldn't have been kidnapped, thinking of the person covered in blood was always faintly uncomfortable.

It was dark when the sky was shaking, and Mu Chenmo made all preparations and quietly sneaked out of the Seven Kings' Mansion and touched the Hussar General's Mansion.

Leaning on the wall, Mu Chenmo carefully observed the layout of the General's Mansion and the frequency of changing guards on patrol, quietly waiting for the best opportunity.

This kind of thing is a defense map, Yang Xuan's old puppet will definitely keep a copy at home, according to common sense, it should be hidden in the secret compartment of the study, and the study is generally located in the outer courtyard.

After thinking about it, Mu Chenmo jumped off the wall, carefully moving towards the outer courtyard, avoiding the patrols and guards from time to time, and secretly glad in his heart, fortunately, this place is not as perverted as the Seven Kings Mansion, there are so many secret guards.

Mu Chenmo flew up and down carefully looking for the location of the study, regretting in his heart that he didn't have a good relationship with Yang Xuan when he was on the border, and he didn't have much contact after returning to Beijing, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to find a study.

was annoyed when he found a room brightly lit, Mu Chenmo was overjoyed, and secretly leaned on the roof to uncover a tile and looked down, and saw Yang Xuan sitting behind the bookcase and writing something?

By the light in the room, I looked at the furnishings of the study, there was a bookshelf full of books on the left side of the bookcase, a few chairs and tables on the right, and a landscape painting hanging on the wall behind the bookcase.

The layout in the room is noble and elegant, without the slightest bit of the fierce atmosphere of a military general, but like a bookish Wenchen study, Mu Chenmo felt surprised in his heart, sure enough, you can't just look at the surface.

As if noticing, Yang Xuan raised his head and quickly glanced in the direction where Mu Chenmo was hiding, lowered his head, pulled out a sarcastic smile at the corner of his mouth, rubbed his somewhat swollen neck and stood up.

Mu Chenmo secretly said in his heart, God really helps me, I saw that Yang Xuan had already extinguished the oil lamp, opened the door and walked out, looked at his back, and lay on the roof for half an hour before daring to come down.

Looking around and seeing that there was no one, he quietly pushed open the door and dodged in, and when his eyes adjusted to the light in the room, he began to grope around.

The sound of rapid footsteps sounded outside the door, and Mu Chenmo in the room broke out in a cold sweat, stabbed the window paper with his hand and looked out, and found that the guards with torches in their hands were gradually surrounding this side, and there was a hidden encirclement.

In his heart, he was fooled, took off the soft whip in his waist, took out the bow and crossbow hidden in his sleeve, and began to fire it outward without hesitation.

The row of guards in front of the whoosh fell, and after putting the crossbow arrows away, Mu Chenmo no longer hesitated, kicked open the door and jumped into the middle of the courtyard, waving the soft whip in his hand at the rushing guards.
