Chapter 69: Murder Under the Moon
Mu Bai has been reading the collection of books in the Hongwen Hall for several days, and on this day, when Mu Bai returned to the Flower Couple's Courtyard, he found that Cao Tieyi had sent a letter.
Mu Bai happily took Cao Tieyi's letter and said, "Is General Cao coming back?" ”
The servant replied, "The villain does not know, and the messenger does not say anything. ”
Mu Bai tore open the envelope and opened the letter in his hand, only to see that it was written in the letter that the identity of the person who committed the assassination at the Qingliangcheng ferry had been ascertained, and he quickly went to Shishiping, ten miles away from the capital, to meet him.
After reading the letter, Mu Bai asked, "Do you know the person who sent the letter?"
The servant said, "I don't know the little man, this man is about thirty years old, dressed in army clothes, and hurried away after delivering the letter." ”
Mu Bai burned the letter, picked up the Frost Moon Sword and said, "I'm going out and tell Fu Bo not to prepare dinner." After speaking, Mu Bai flew away from the Flower Couple's Courtyard.
Behind Mu Bai, the black-clothed monk glanced at Mu Bai with a sneer, and turned into a purple smoke.
After Mu Bai left Kyoto, the sky was getting darker and darker, and after coming to the Lion Ping, a man wearing a cloak quietly asked, "Is it Mr. Mu Bai Mu?" Mu Bai nodded, and the man in the cloak led Mu Bai to the front of a thatched house.
After Mu Bai pushed open the door, he saw that the room was full of all kinds of weapons, Cao Tieyi sat at the table, and after seeing Mu Bai come in, he made a cup of tea for Mu Bai.
After Mu Bai sat down, he looked around and asked, "Who is the person who killed me, and why did you ask me to meet here?"
Cao Tieyi frowned, leaned forward slightly towards Mu Bai, and said in a low voice: "The person who should have killed you is too involved in Kyoto, I don't dare to see you in Kyoto, so I can only arrange for you to meet here." ”
Mu Bai picked up the teacup and asked, "You tell me who it is, I will take revenge myself, and it won't affect you." ”
Cao Tieyi stared at the teacup in Mu Bai's hand, sighed and said softly, "It's the second prince Mu Changli." ”
Mu Bai took a sip of tea, put the teacup down, and said, "Why do you want to kill me, I haven't seen the second prince before." It's just that I had a relationship at the poetry meeting of the Satsuki Villa. ”
Cao Tieyi leaned back slowly, leaned back on the chair behind him and said: "Because you are a member of the third prince, you are a threat to the second prince, and you are too dazzling in the poetry meeting, which disrupts the arrangement of the second prince in the literati forest." ”
A hint of innocence flashed in Mu Bai's eyes, and he said: "The third prince and I are just ordinary fellow friends, and the third prince is just sending me away from the Yu Kingdom." ”
Cao Tieyi looked in the direction of Kyoto and said: "But who believes it, the first time you entered Kyoto, there were rumors in Kyoto that you were the spokesperson of the Third Prince." Now the people of Kyoto think that you are the spokesperson of the Three Princes, and you say that you are just passing by here, who will believe it. ”
Mu Bai suddenly asked, "Then are you from the Third Prince?"
Cao Tieyi was shocked when he heard Mu Bai's question, and said, "Of course I am a member of the Third Prince." ”
Mu Bai picked up the teacup in his hand and asked, "Then why did you poison me." ”
Cao Tieyi's face changed after hearing this, and he threw the teacup in his hand on the ground, and then a group of people poured into the room with weapons and surrounded Mu Bai.
Cao Tieyi picked up the knife and pointed it at Mu Bai and said, "I still underestimated you, and you found out, but you have already drunk this cup of tea, and now the toxicity has attacked." ”
Mu Bai pulled out the Frost Moon Sword without care, and under the light of the Moon Pass, the cold light of the Frost Moon Sword shimmered, Mu Bai showed his wet sleeve and said, "I wasn't poisoned, I poured that cup of tea into my sleeve." ”
It turned out that when Mu Bai picked up this cup of tea, the terminal system reminded Mu Bai that the tea was poisonous, and after Mu Bai drank the tea, he quietly spit out the tea into his sleeve while Cao Tieyi was not paying attention.
Cao Tieyi kicked over the table in front of him and beckoned a group of people to come up together.
Mu Bai cut off the table in front of him with a sword, and a cold breath emanated from the Frost Moon Sword, after the cold light, the white frost was hung in the room, and everyone's feet were frozen, Mu Bai took the opportunity to swing his sword and kill several people, and rushed out of the encirclement.
Cao Tieyi shouted, broke free from the ice under his feet, and slashed at Mu Bai with a knife.
Mu Bai gently dodged Cao Tieyi's knife and asked, "So whose person are you, why did you betray the Third Prince?"
Cao Tiejia smiled and said: "Lao Tzu is naturally the second prince's person, after killing you, your influence in Kyoto will be gone." ”
Mu Bai dodged the crossbow arrows shot from a distance, cut several crossbowmen through Cao Tieyi, and turned over and killed all the people.
Cao Tieyi watched Mu Bai shuttle through the crowd with ease, his hair stood upside down in anger, and he picked up a horn from his waist and blew it.
As the horn sounded, a group of cavalry killed from a distance, and the yellow sand rolled towards Mu Bai.
After Mu Baifei cut down a cavalryman, he looked at the cavalry who was charging twice, and then glanced at Cao Tieyi, who was directing the cavalry charge, and swung his sword to kill him, and the sword qi roared and knocked down the horn in Cao Tieyi's hand.
After knocking down Cao Tieyi's horn, Mu Bai fought with Cao Tieyi close to him to prevent him from commanding the cavalry again.
After the cavalry lost Cao Tieyi's command, the offensive slowed down, and after seeing Cao Tieyi being attacked by Mu Bai, they hurriedly dared to come to help.
Mu Bai saw the cavalry coming to help, and a cold ice sword qi gushed out again, freezing the ground around him, and with the flash of the sword light, several cavalry were cut down by Mu Bai again.
Mu Bai forced the cavalry back with a sword, injected the spiritual energy into the Frost Moon Sword, a burst of vigorous sword qi gushed out, the sword qi flashed, and Cao Tiejia was broken by the sword qi More than a dozen wounds.
Mu Bai stood proudly in the crowd with a sword, and under the moonlight, he was dressed in white and a frost moon sword with cold light. For a while, everyone didn't dare to step forward.
Mu Bai walked step by step to Cao Tieyi, who was injured and unable to move, and said to Cao Tieyi condescendingly: "You are not the second prince's person, you are the eldest prince's person." I have also heard a lot of news in Kyoto in the past few days, the second prince is surrounded by literati, and he has never inserted his hand into the military, how can he suddenly have the internal response of chasing the wind and iron cavalry. It's just that I've always wondered, how could you betray the Third Prince?"
Cao Tieyi looked at Mu Bai angrily, a trace of hatred flashed in his eyes, and after coughing up a few mouthfuls of blood violently, he said: "Why?!" We have been following in the footsteps of the three princes, hoping that the three princes will lead the country of Yu to become strong, but the three princes left the country of Yu to go away to the academy for the sake of a bullshit academy, and gave up the road that the country of Yu has paved for him for many years, resulting in the deployment of the wind chasing iron horse for many years, and the forces we have won for him have fallen apart. Originally, with the virtue of the three princes, they would definitely lead the country of Yu to become strong, but the three princes left like this, and I was not reconciled! It was not that we betrayed the three princes, it was the three princes who betrayed me. ”
Mu Bai asked, "Then why did you help the eldest prince instead of the second prince?"
Cao Tieyi sneered: "The second prince is indecisive and is not a good candidate for the future heir of the Yu Kingdom, in contrast, the eldest prince has relatives to help him, and he is more suitable to be the heir of the Yu Kingdom." ”
Mu Bai stabbed Cao Tieyi with a sword, and under the moonlight, bright red blood sprinkled on Mu Bai's white robe, Mu Bai squatted down and slowly closed his eyes for Cao Tieyi.
