Chapter 62: Back to the City

"Oops." Mu Liran sighed secretly, she forgot to put the book in the shelf, and watched this person walk in step by step, her hand on the hilt of the sword ready to go.

However, the man didn't seem to know the layout of the study, so he just looked and saw that there was no one and turned away.

Mu Liran breathed a sigh of relief, and waited for a while to see that he was really gone, and then he came out from under the bookshelf, and his black night clothes were covered in dust and turned gray.

Patting the dust off his body, Mu Liran was about to leave here as well, when his eyes inadvertently skimmed over a place on the bookshelf, and his eyes narrowed.

She took out the fire fold and re-lit it, and touched the tall vase with her hand, and sure enough, there was no dust, and her heart was suddenly happy.

Could it be that there is something else behind this bookshelf?

She pulled the vase vigorously with both hands, and she didn't know what mechanism she touched, and the bookshelf suddenly opened silently, and Mu Liran hurriedly jumped in.

She took two steps forward, but the bookshelf behind her was closed all of a sudden, which made her suddenly retreat in shock, and after a careful exploration, Mu Liran frowned that this bookshelf could only be opened from the outside, and it seemed that she had nothing to move forward.

Walking cautiously forward, the road was brightly lit, and the walls on both sides were filled with oil lamps, and it seemed that there were people who often came and went.

Not long after walking, there were three forks in the road in front of him, Mu Liran looked at it, and decisively chose one and walked in.

In the banquet hall at this time, singing and dancing were leveling, and a group of dancers in charming clothes in the center of the hall were swinging their bodies and their eyes were seductive.

Many of the squires in the seats looked at these dancers with their eyes, as if they had stripped them naked with their eyes, which was really ugly.

The county magistrate also looked at the dancers with squints, this group of people was built by him with a lot of money, and he had not tasted the taste of these people.

Zhan Cangming, who sat at the top, lowered his eyes with a clear expression, and was not interested in the dancers dancing below, in his opinion, these women were too dirty, and they were not as good as his princess.

Thinking of Mu Liran, his brows furrowed slightly, and he didn't know what was going on with her, although he knew that she should be fine, but he still couldn't stop worrying.

Sensing that the county order raised his head, Zhan Cangming immediately put away his indifferent look, pretending to appreciate and looked at the dancer, his hand lightly clasped the table and felt that the time should be almost up.

It just so happened that the county order also had this idea, he clapped his hands, the dancers stopped dancing, and a woman with a beautiful appearance and a delicate figure walked out from the group of dancers, kneeling on the ground to reveal her appearance: "The little girl greets the prince." ”

Her voice was coquettish, her whole body seemed to be boneless, and the group of squires below her couldn't take her eyes off it.

Zhan Cangming picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of tea, then looked at the county order.

The county commander was staring at him at this time, Zhan Cangming hooked his lips and smiled, looking at the woman kneeling on the ground for a while, but what he said made her not know what to do.

"The heart of the county order has been received by the king, but the king is carrying the princess with him, and this woman is really difficult for the king to accept." His thin lips were lightly opened, and his magnetic voice was slightly hoarse from a little drinking, adding to the charm of the difference.

The woman kneeling on the ground knew that she had missed him, and she might never meet such a high-quality man again in the future, so she immediately kowtowed and said: "The little woman is willing to serve tea and pour water for the adult, and when the cow is a horse, she only begs the adult to accept the little woman, and the little woman will never disturb the relationship between the adult and the lady." After speaking, she raised her head, with tears on her cheeks, and she was pitiful, and many men present wanted to press her down immediately.

Seeing this, Zhan Cangming's brows relaxed, as if he intended to move, but he didn't know what he thought, he shook his head and said, "You don't know, the princess ...... her" Speaking of this, he closed his mouth and stopped talking.

The county commander realized that he had already realized what he meant, and his eyes rolled, it seemed that this woman could not be sent openly, but must be secret.

"Your Excellency." The woman was still unwilling, but the county order waved her hand, and the woman was taken down.

Since the beauty can't be sent out for the time being, then the only way to send it is to send silver, and a trace of distress flashed in the county order's eyes when he thought about it.

But thinking of the benefits afterward, he put away his distress, and a touch of greed and firmness flashed in his eyes.

Seeing his expression, the corners of Zhan Cangming's mouth hooked up a slight smile.

"Lord Wang, the lower official will give you a drink." The prefectural commander raised his glass with both hands and toasted him.

Zhan Cangming picked up the wine glass and was far away from him, and the county commander drank the wine in the cup first, and then he drank it too.

After three rounds of drinking, the county magistrate said in a hazy drunkenness: "The prince has been tired all the way, but fortunately he can afford to look down on the lower officials, and it is really an honor for the lower officials to live in the lower officials' mansions." ”

Zhan Cangming didn't speak, just looked at him with a distant look.

But the county order didn't see it, and neither did the others, except that the old man seemed to feel a little wrong, but he didn't say anything but a smile on the corner of his mouth.

The county magistrate who had drunk wine was a little dull, even if Zhan Cangming didn't reply, he didn't notice anything, but continued to shake his head and said: "Xia Guan didn't know what to use to thank the prince, so he had to prepare some things for the prince, I hope the prince doesn't mind." ”

As he spoke, he clapped his hands, and a group of subordinates walked in with a heavy box in twos and twos, a total of more than a dozen boxes.

Seeing this scene, Zhan Cangming narrowed his eyes, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The others guessed what was inside, and as soon as the county commander raised his hand, the people opened the box, which was full of golden ingots, and each box was stuffed.

Everyone was stunned and their eyes were hot.

The county commander looked at Zhan Cangming smugly, thinking that he would see his coveted gaze, but he didn't want to meet a pair of cold gray eyes, which made him subconsciously startled, and he faintly felt that something was wrong in his heart.

"Lord Wang?" He put away his arrogance and asked cautiously.

Zhan Cangming snorted coldly, and his tone was cold: "Bold county order, you actually dare to accept bribes from this king, it's just bold." ”

As soon as he said this, the county commander immediately fell to the ground in fright, where could he not understand at this time, he was on the full set of Zhan Cangming.

It's over, it's over, it's all over. The prefectural commander thought in horror.

"You are a county magistrate, as a parent official of a county seat, not only dereliction of duty, but also corrupt and pervert the law, which is simply unbearable to be an official." Zhan Cangming stood on top and looked down at the county order, his gray eyes were full of disgust, and his face was gloomy as if he was a killing god.

Everyone knelt down in fear, and then it suddenly occurred to them that he would not only be the prince, but also the god of war, the man who was like a god in the mouth of everyone and was decisive in killing, how could he be in the same league with them because of money.

They were wrong, they couldn't be more wrong.

The county order stall sat on the ground and felt like ashes, and for a while, the lively banquet hall became silent, and the killing intent spread.

"I beg the prince to be merciful." The county commander didn't want to die, so he knelt all the way to Zhan Cangming's feet, holding his feet with both hands and begging.

Zhan Cangming was unmoved, looking at him like this, a touch of viciousness flashed in the eyes of the county commander, and his hand quietly took out a dagger with a cold light in his boots, which was coated with poison, which was a life-saving means specially made by him.

His low, fat face trembled slightly from nervousness, and he shouted, "I'll fight with you." As he spoke, he held the dagger and stabbed it at Zhan Cangming's body.

In Zhan Cangming's eyes, his all-out blow was just the kung fu of a three-legged cat, and his hand was as fast as lightning and slapped his arm.

The county commander only felt a heart-piercing pain in his hand, and subconsciously let go of the dagger, the dagger fell down, Zhan Cangming seemed to kick at random, and the tip of the dagger turned in a different direction and stabbed towards the county order.

The county commander's pupils suddenly shrank back and wanted to dodge, but it was too late, so he could only watch the dagger stab into his heart.

"Boom." With a bang, the corpse of the county commander fell to the ground, and a stream of blood spurted from the corner of his mouth, which happened to spray on the face of a squire next to him.

The squire subconsciously touched his face, and when he saw that his hands were covered with blood, he immediately exclaimed: "Ah, help." ”

The banquet hall suddenly became a mess, and at this time, Zhan Cangming's guards walked in with a group of officials and arrested the group of people.

Seeing that things were almost over, Zhan Cangming walked out quickly, and asked as he walked, "Is the princess back?" ”

"Nope." The guard said worriedly.

Hearing this, Zhan Cangming's heart tightened, and Yun Qi went to the house where Mu Liran and the others went.

At this time, Mu Liran was looking at the maze in front of her and had a headache, she didn't know how many circles she had circled, but she couldn't get out of it.

She really didn't expect that the secret passage of a county order would be so sophisticated, if she didn't know that the most stored in it was only silver, she might mistakenly think that there was a border defense distribution map inside.

Just as she was leaning against the wall and preparing to rest, the sound of slight footsteps came from the other direction, and Mu Liran looked there vigilantly.

When the man came out, she struck with her sword in her hand, but she was grabbed by the waist.

Mu Liran was taken aback and said angrily: "Let go of me." ”

"Shhh A clear voice came from his ears, and Mu Liran calmed down, and turned his head to see that it was Chi Wuji.

"Why are you here?" Mu Liran asked suspiciously.

Chi Wuji was eerily silent for a moment, then returned to his indifferent appearance and said, "I just unlocked a maze and walked out of the exit. ”

Mu Liran was silent when she heard this, and felt that he was really unlucky, so she got out of the maze and entered the maze, and then her eyes lit up and said: "Since you can solve that maze, then you must also have a way to get out of this maze, solve it quickly, you don't know that I am about to collapse when I stand here." ”

The corners of Chi Wuji's mouth twitched, but the gentleman nodded Rulan, and with his blessing, the two quickly walked out of the exit.

Mu Liran exhaled lightly, then looked up and was shocked, and countless gold ingots retreated into a mountain and placed on the ground.

She couldn't help but take a breath: "A lot of money." ”

After being obsessed for a while, she said: "This county order is really corrupt, and there is so much gold. "You know, as a princess, she's never seen so much gold.

"Let's go back and tell Zhan Cangming about this." As she spoke, she turned to look at Chi Wuji.

Chi Wuji nodded in agreement, but Mu Liran suddenly thought about how they were going to go back, the checkpoints along the way were all one-way, and they could only go out but not enter, how could this be good?

Thinking of this, she frowned.

Seeing her troubled appearance, Chi Wuji smiled slightly and said, "I have a way to get out?" ”

Hearing this, Mu Liran's eyes regained their brilliance, and he looked at him brightly and asked, "What can you do?" Say it. ”

Chi Wuji pointed to the end of the ingot, Mu Liran looked there, and the two walked over there.
