Tiji 23
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.
"Oops!
Halfway through, Mo Yue suddenly grabbed the reins, and her face turned pale from extreme panic.
Mo Jue couldn't react, rushed a few feet away and turned back, and asked nervously, "Yue'er, what's wrong?"
Mo Yue's brows furrowed, and she was very uneasy: "Brother, you haven't finished that cup of tea yet, have you?"
"yes. Mo Jue was a little confused.
"If Mo Xuan enters the palace the next moment and finds that the cup of tea is still warm......"
"It's not such a coincidence, is it?" Mo Jue disagreed, and said with a smile, "It's just a cup of tea, even if he thinks of something, it's impossible to find the mechanism." ”
"This kid is so smart, how can you be sure he won't find out?"
"Heh!" Mo Jue sneered, his handsome eyes flashed with a sly, "That's not an ordinary mechanism, unless ......"
"Unless what?" Mo Yue also breathed a sigh of relief when she heard him say this, with a curious look on her face, but when she recalled Mo Jue's action when she opened the mechanism, she instantly understood and laughed.
laughed until the end of the laugh, my stomach hurt, and I couldn't help but say, "Brother...... You...... You're amazing!"
Mo Jue said calmly: "Okay, now it's time to rest assured, right?"
Who knew that Mo Yue stopped laughing, and said very seriously: "I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm just afraid of what if." Brother, why don't you take my token and go to the Perak Hall first, I'll go back to the secret passage and ambush, after all, the things inside are ......"
Mo Jue thought about it and felt reasonable: "It's okay." Yue'er, you go back quickly. However, I don't think he should be so ......."
When Mo Yue heard what he said, she couldn't help laughing again, handed him the token, and replied repeatedly: "I know, I know!"
After that, he turned the horse's head, and the sassy and heroic posture disappeared into the vast night in a moment.
This compartment is in the bedroom of the Jin Palace.
Mo Xuan checked the entire couch and found nothing, this was an ordinary couch. He checked the walls and the floor again, and they were solid, and he couldn't find even a rat hole. Then he tried to move the whole couch out of place, but found nothing.
In the end, he lay on the bed in a large zigzag shape and sorted out the endless ideas.
He thought: If I were the king of Jin, where would I put the mechanism?
The bedroom is not big, the furnishings are simple, a desk, a round table, a few chairs, and the rest is this bed.
If I were the king of Jin, I would definitely put the mechanism in the couch. Because the old lady will come from time to time to clean up the house, wipe the table and sweep the bedding, but she will never open the bedboard.
But there was nothing under the bed.
No, there must be something, it's just hidden too deep to be discovered.
What could it be?
Mo Xuan got out of bed and opened the bed board again. It was still an empty shell, with nothing but scattered wood chips and dust.
He suddenly thought of another question: Mo Jue is not close to women, but if he wants to be lucky with a woman, what will he do?
Mo Xuan's face turned red when he thought of this, but then he thought, there is a door!
Leaving aside what the King of Jin would do, what would that woman do if he came to sleep with him?
Mo Xuan secretly scolded Mo Jue in his heart, a monster with a bad mind (dead pervert), but his knees involuntarily hit the ground, he knelt in front of the bed, imagining that he was a humble concubine, and on the opposite bed sat the condescending King of Jin, in order to show his humility and respect, he prostrated his upper body down, however, when he looked up in such a posture, the corners of his lips hooked up a wicked smile.
King Jin has always been in an inferior position, he is alive, and he can only look up to the imperial power and him as a prince in such a posture. But he is unwilling, he also wants others to look up to him with such a humble attitude, but except for the woman who will invite him to favor, who will lower his posture like this?
Mo Jue, Mo Jue, you finally showed your fox tail!
As for the mechanism, it was actually a tiny slit on the edge of the bed, and it would have been impossible to find it if it had not been viewed from such an angle. To say that this Mo Jue is really amazing, if it weren't for his own incomprehensible thinking, I'm afraid it would be impossible to find Tianliang.
All you have to do now is crack the mechanism and find the secret door.
Mo Xuan felt that time was getting tighter and tighter, as if he was one step slower, and Qiu Suya would be more dangerous.
In fact, at this moment, she is already in dire straits.
The dark dungeon was cold and damp.
Qiu Suya's coat was all taken off, only wearing thin obscene clothes, her hands were firmly imprisoned on the pillar by iron chains, mottled blood stains could be seen on her body, the gold ornaments on her hair had long been looted, her face was unkempt, and she moaned weakly.
knew that she would be whipped as soon as she left the palace, she would rather stay in Yuehua Palace and be scolded with a cane, but it was ridiculous that she couldn't even cry now.
"Twenty whips, so that Lao Tzu's hands are sore, and you still keep scolding! I said beauty, it's spicy enough!"
The one who spoke was a man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, who looked to be in his thirties, and it was said that he was still the righteous brother of the hall master, and Qiu Suya really wanted to spit on him a few times.
"Hmph! I kind of called your hall master over! Auntie and grandmother, I kicked him so that he couldn't give birth to a son!" Qiu Suya continued to scold, but fortunately, she usually mixed in the market and could scold any swear words.
The sharp-mouthed man whipped again, covering her old wound, and a piercing pain rushed to her head.
"Hey, stinky! You're not done yet, are you? Don't think you're the princess, I'm afraid of you! We, Peraktang, have never taken the powerful in our eyes! I'll arrest your prince and wife another day to play, and I'll see if that kid is a killer or a woman! Hahahaha......
The sharp-mouthed man smiled, and a few small minions behind him also laughed.
Qiu Suya almost didn't get angry to death, these rough men are really outlaws, she hasn't gone to the rivers and lakes yet, why did she offend them?
It's a pity that she is physically and mentally exhausted at this moment, and it is a blessing that she did not pass out, how can she still have a cranky mind?
"You...... What do you want?" In this situation, no matter how tough she is, she doesn't dare to give up her life, so she can only give in, "You say, what do you want? money, power, or woman? As long as you let me go, I will promise you everything!"
When the sharp-mouthed man heard this, he laughed even more wildly: "Yo he! Little beauty, you have figured it out, but it's a pity, our Perak Hall is entrusted with loyalty this time, even if you kneel down and beg me, I can't let you go......!"
Entrusted by someone, it seems that this is a conspiracy!
Qiu Suya glared at him in disgust, and her mind suddenly cleared. No wonder the unicorn beads emit a red light before entering the palace, presumably this red light means that danger is about to be faced!
Could it be King Jin?
