Fenghua 22
A pleasant whistle sounded in the darkness, and not far away there was the sound of horses' feet kicking, and a sturdy red horse galloped in the bright moonlight. Mo Xuan did not hesitate, jumped on the horse, and walked away.
Then Zhao Tianming, the imperial commander who rushed out of the palace gate, quickly ordered: "Chase!"
Dozens of gold-armored guards rode their horses and galloped all the way.
In this Jin Palace, it was quiet as usual.
Mo Jue likes to be quiet, and there is not even a servant girl in the bedroom, only he sits in front of the desk and reads the classics, and everything is as calm as before.
But there was something unusual in the calm.
His condensed eyes lit up slightly, a chuckle rose at the corner of his mouth, and he said to the empty window, "Coming?"
The wind was howling, and a black shadow flashed in from the window like a ghost, and as soon as she stood still, she took off the black veil on her face, and it turned out to be a young girl with delicate facial features.
Mo Jue hurriedly put down the bamboo slip in his hand, got up and walked to the girl, his originally cold eyes were full of love, and he said softly: "Yue'er, when did you come back?"
Mo Yue smiled lightly and replied very calmly: "A few days ago. ”
"Then why didn't you come to my brother's place earlier?"
Mo Yue disagreed: "Isn't this coming? Brother, how many times have I told you? You are also a prince, and you don't even have a person to serve by your side, as for being so shabby?"
Mo Jue sighed and pulled her into the inner room.
"There are many people, after all, you and I have special identities, so as not to be truthful. What's more, you don't know that your brother, the prince, is just a decoration, and it doesn't work! How can it compare to the king of Qi, who supports the army and respects himself, and can command the heroes with one order!" Mo Jue sat at the table and poured tea, with a look of shame.
Mo Yue sat aside and said indifferently: "Brother doesn't have to laugh at himself, although at the moment we can only hide and hide, inferior." But it won't be long before my brother will be the king of Yequ Kingdom, and my mother will be able to live in the harem!
Mo Jue took a sip of tea and looked tired: "Although the king is the king, he has to be subject to the Northern Zhou Dynasty, I'm afraid that he will have to look at King Qi's face to live!"
Mo Yue smiled slightly, thinking of Tang Tianzheng, the king of Qi, her originally silent eyebrows and eyes had a ripple.
"Brother, no matter what, it's better than the current situation, isn't it? What's more, King Qi has promised me that he will marry me as his princess, and when the time comes, we will be a family. She said, full of longing and yearning, and said with a smile, "When the Northern Zhou Dynasty unifies the Seven Kingdoms, the whole world will be ours! Brother, aren't you tempted?"
Mo Jue reluctantly showed a smile: "As long as Yue'er is happy, my brother will not hesitate to give up his life!" But Yue'er, I always feel that King Qi is not credible, if you marry him, I am afraid that you will suffer in the future." ”
Mo Yue shook his head with a resolute attitude: "You don't know him, in fact, King Qi is a person who values love and righteousness, he said that he would marry me, he would definitely marry me!"
"I'm not afraid that he will go back on his word, I'm afraid that he won't be able to treat you well after marrying you, I'm just such a sister as you!"
Mo Yue smiled and grabbed his arm: "Okay, okay! Your sister is not a good man and a woman, if King Qi treats me badly, I will kill him!"
Mo Jue knew that this was her joke, this girl had already fallen physically and mentally, but she was afraid that when the time came, King Qi would kill her in turn, and she would have to raise her neck to cater to her.
The love in this world is like a deadly poison, and it is the most undesirable.
The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Mo Yue finally proudly said today's results.
"Brother, what do you think of the crown princess?"
"The crown princess?"
"That's right, it's the crown princess Qiu Suya who just married into the East Palace! My subordinates have been lying in ambush near the East Palace, and when I saw her and the prince going out this afternoon, I followed all the way, and I happened to see my brother too. Hehe, dare to bully my brother, this time I will definitely make that kid have a better memory!" Mo Yue sneered, and the murderous aura raged in her beautiful eyes.
Mo Jue faintly heard the meaning of her words, and said in surprise: "What happened to the crown princess?"
"It's not much! It's just that I locked her up in the Perak Hall outside the city, and I have a very good personal relationship with the hall master, so that he can take care of the little slut and let her eat some bitterness first. I just came to discuss with my brother what to do with her?"
"This ......" Mo Jue has no hostility towards the crown princess, and she also relieved herself this afternoon, after all, there is a debtor and a master, and if you want to deal with it, you should also deal with Mo Jue's kid.
"You'd better let her go. ”
"Let it go?" Mo Yue frowned and couldn't help but sneer, "Could it be that brother Fei is also interested in her?"
"What do you mean by that?" Mo Jue was a little unhappy, how could he say that it was also the woman Mo Jue slept with, so he was not uncommon with these broken shoes.
Mo Yue remembered some things, and still felt unhappy: "This princess is not simple, not only is she an old friend of Mr. Lin, but even King Qi has a good impression of her when he only sees her, and now I also heard that Mo Xuan is very fond of her, this time she was kidnapped, it is estimated that he should go crazy!"
As she spoke, she laughed gloatingly: "Brother, seriously, if you are also interested in her, you can go to Perak Hall with me tonight! This kind of little slut doesn't have to pity Xiangxiang and cherish the jade, although my brother ravaged her, wouldn't it be nice to let Mo Xuan's kid wear a big green hat?"
Mo Jue was amused by her: "You know that I never get close to women, let alone her?"
"Brother really doesn't want to, if you miss this village, you won't have this shop! This is a great opportunity to humiliate Mo Xuan!"
Mo Jue sneered, his eyes flashed with murderous aura: "If you want to humiliate him, there will be more opportunities in the future! I am a man, how can I bully a weak woman?"
Mo Yue looked at him in disbelief, she couldn't imagine that she, a cold-blooded female demon, had a decent brother.
"But—" Mo Jue suddenly changed his words and sneered, "I would like to go see her." ”
Mo Yue rolled her eyes angrily: "You don't do anything, what are you doing when you see her?"
"Just be curious! I'd love to see what she's going to be like after all she has endured in Perak Hall. ”
Mo Yue didn't speak, she really couldn't understand this brother more and more.
"That'...... Going now?"
"Maybe it won't be long before Mo Xuan will lead someone to search my palace, and I'm going to kill him in a hurry!"
Mo Yue sneered: "Okay! Let's go immediately!"
The two deliberately changed into civilian clothes, went straight to the outside of the palace from the secret passage of the bedroom, and disappeared unconsciously.
Mo Xuan didn't expect that the underground of the Jin Palace's mansion was accessible in all directions, in fact, he was already going crazy, and he couldn't think rationally at all, and what was even more infuriating was that as soon as he arrived at the door of the Jin Palace, Zhao Tianming had already led people to surround him.
"Your Highness, the queen mother, please return to the palace quickly!" Zhao Tianming knelt on one knee, and his voice was neither humble nor arrogant.
Mo Xuan glanced at him and had a tough attitude: "There is a big matter to deal with in this palace! I'm afraid I won't be able to go back tonight! Please Commander Zhao evacuate immediately, don't get in the way of this palace here!"
Zhao Tianming ignored it, got up and gave an order: "Up!"
Salute first and then soldier, this Zhao Tianming is really determined to arrest him back.
However, Mo Xuan was already ready for battle, but unfortunately he didn't bring a weapon, so he could only fight ten with his bare hands.
These are all elite guards guarding the royal city, all of them are brave and good at fighting, and their martial arts are outstanding, not to mention dozens of people attacking from all sides? But what Zhao Tianming didn't expect was that this prince, who usually loves painting, blowing the flute and practicing calligraphy, actually has the upper hand after a hundred moves! No wonder the king said that he was the reincarnation of a god who blessed the world, if there were a few more wizards like him in the Yequ Kingdom, how could foreign enemies dare to make waves?
Seeing that the last two guards were also beaten to the ground, the corners of Zhao Tianming's mouth twitched, and he couldn't bear it.
Mo Xuan calmly patted the dust on his body, glanced at him contemptuously, and swaggered towards the gate of the Jin Palace.
Zhao Tianming sighed heavily and led a group of shrimp soldiers and crabs to run away.
If you want to say how shabby this Jin Wangfu is, Mo Xuan walked in and found that there was not even a guard to protect the courtyard, and there was only a gray-haired old woman in the huge courtyard who was wearing clothes by the well, with a kerosene lamp beside her, and it was pitch black around, except for the sound of the wind and the sound of scrubbing water, there was no human voice.
Mo Xuan stood there dumbfounded, a little suspicious that he had gone to the wrong place, and when he realized the purpose of coming here, he was no longer as impatient as Fang Cai.
Up to now, impulsiveness will only make mistakes, so he has to be in a hurry and take his time calmly.
So, Mo Xuan walked to the old woman's side and asked politely, "Mother-in-law, is King Jin here?"
The old lady hesitated for a moment, and then slowly raised her head, her old face full of wrinkles.
She stood up in an old fashion, squinted her eyes and looked at him carefully, her voice hoarse, and she asked slowly, "Who are you?"
Mo Xuan didn't expect her to grow old like this, and there was inevitably a hint of respect in her tone: "Mother-in-law, I am a friend of King Jin, and I came to visit him." ”
"Friend?" the old lady looked at incredulously, and then shook her head, "No, no, no, my prince has no friends, and he is used to being alone." If you have nothing to do, hurry up, my prince has rested early, and he won't see any guests!"
"So early?" Mo Xuan pretended to be surprised, and said, "Mother-in-law, I don't think you remember, did you? ”
"Really?" the old lady frowned and muttered, "I'm old, my memory is not good, and I have forgotten the things of the year before last." ”
Mo Xuan sighed: "That's okay, mother-in-law just needs to help inform the next one, and let King Jin call the shots!"
The old lady thought for a while, and said with a kind smile: "No need! My prince doesn't have so many rules, you can come with me." ”
Mo Xuan was a little surprised, but still followed quietly.
There is a lamp in the bedroom, but there is no human figure, and the layout and furnishings are mainly simple and simple.
"Huh, where have the people gone?" the old lady looked around, patted her forehead and shook her head again and again, "Alas, I am an old fool, the prince must have gone out, I forgot about it." ”
Mo Xuan listened to her chatter while looking around, and even every corner did not let go, and saw a stack of bamboo slips spread out on the case, he picked it up and found that it was a Warring States Policy.
Mo Xuan smiled meaningfully: "Mother-in-law, why are you the only one serving in this mansion, and what about the other maids and servants?"
The old lady seemed to look at him very pleasantly, and she must be a nagging old man at ordinary times, so she simply chatted with him.
"My prince doesn't like a lot of people, he loves to stay alone, look at writing or something, last year there were two maids to help me, but unfortunately they were all kicked out by the prince later. ”
"Oh, did they do anything wrong?"
Mo Xuan also asked casually, but the old lady replied very seriously: "Alas, it's also to blame those two girls for being shameless, one is delusional to climb the dragon and the phoenix to hook up with the prince in different tricks, and the other is even bolder, and he actually got an aphrodisiac from outside with the intention of the prince...... Hey, my prince is clean and self-conscious, and he can't be angry enough to kick them out!"
Hearing this, Mo Xuan couldn't help laughing, but when he thought that Su Ya might fall into the hands of King Jin, he turned cold again.
"Really, it seems that King Jin doesn't like women very much. ”
When the old lady heard this, she was not happy: "Young man, don't think about it! My prince is not a broken sleeve, he just hasn't found the person he wants!"
Mo Xuan understood very well and nodded: "What my mother-in-law said is true." ”
The two of them said a word, and involuntarily came to the inner room, Mo Xuan saw the teacup on the table at a glance, walked over and reached out and touched the cup, it was still warm, he smiled, and a sharp light flashed in his handsome eyes, sweeping the entire inner room like an eagle falcon.
The walls were white, a couch pressed against the west wall, and the curtain was plain white and spotless. There is a desk by the window, several stacks of bamboo slips are placed neatly, but the inkstone is placed on the left hand side, it seems that King Jin is not only a left-hander, but also the study and bedroom are used together, it is really thrifty.
Mo Xuan noticed that the Buddha bead on her wrist flashed.
It seems that this unicorn bead really lives up to its name, and it can actually sense what he thinks in his heart.
Mo Jue, Mo Jue, you are smart, haven't you thought that everything can't be too extreme? This Jin Palace's surface is shabby and dilapidated, either it is really poor to this extent, or it is deliberately hiding something.
The former is completely impossible, he is a prince anyway, although his mother is imprisoned, but in the end there is still Gao Meiren's adoptive mother, why is he so poor? As for the latter, what is he hiding about?
Mo Jue looked around again, and finally fixed his gaze on the couch.
I guess there's something hidden in this bed that can't be discovered by women, right?
Traps, secret passages, treasure rooms, or arsenals?
A sneer rose at the corner of Mo Xuan's mouth.
He finally understood why the tea was warm and the people disappeared silently.
It seems that this trip is not in vain, even if you can't find Ya'er, you can find clues, and maybe you can find bigger secrets.
The old lady chattered on the side for a long time, all talking about some inconsequential trivial things, and she felt that she was talking too much, probably because it was usually difficult to find a partner to talk to, and she couldn't stop talking as soon as she started. When he was about to send off the guests, he saw Mo Xuan walking towards the couch.
"Hey, I said this little brother! You don't want to sleep here, do you? My lord is not here, why don't you come back next time! I remember this time, and I will definitely recognize you next time!"
The old lady was still smiling kindly, like a warm-hearted grandmother, Mo Xuan retained respect for her, but at this moment he had to take action, he pretended to be surprised and shouted behind her: "King Jin?"
When the old lady turned around, he stepped forward and quickly stunned her, considering that she was an old man, his strength was very accurate, and it was estimated that he would wake up in half an hour.
And the next moment, his eyes were locked on the couch. "
