Chapter 502: A Chance to Breathe (I)
It was already three days after the news of the change in the Imperial Palace came out.
The military alliance on the front line was shocked and frightened at the same time, but they didn't expect that when they didn't know, the homes in the backyard were almost demolished. If the demon clan controls the royal family of the Huangtu Empire, the inside and the outside should be combined, and the consequences are unimaginable.
So the person who rescued Emperor Su Wu and suppressed the Xia Gong Rebellion this time should have become the focus of everyone. After Emperor Su Wu was rescued, the first thing he did was to summon the important ministers and Mu Shi to come, first he ordered Su Jun to be the crown prince of the empire in person, and managed the empire on his behalf, and then thanked Mu Shi and the five people, and gave the five people the title of earl and a lot of rewards.
Especially Mu Shi, who really saved his life, Emperor Su Wu looked at Mu Shi with a vision that he couldn't wait to marry his son. In the end, he even gave Mu Shi the position of emperor, and the meaning of wooing Mu Shi Tuogu was very obvious.
Although Mu Shi shirked in every possible way, he couldn't stand the enthusiasm of Emperor Su Wu and was weak, and he fell into a coma again without pushing twice.
As for the eldest prince, Emperor Su Wu meant to let Su Jun come and watch and deal with it himself.
After Emperor Su Wu fell into a coma, the follow-up of the palace could only be sharpened by Su Jun when he came, even if he was unwilling, but now the situation is special, so he has to learn to manage. Fortunately, there is a Si Li, who is very good at scheming and running a family, and it is much easier to have his help Su Junlai, but fortunately he is not a headless fly.
The two of them were so busy that they didn't see a shadow all day long, Mu Shi and Li Yuansheng were responsible for treating those royal guards who were eroded by demonic energy, but for a while, Gu Nansui and Mu Zichen seemed to have nothing to do, so they could only fight.
Beiye has not appeared for a long time, if it weren't for the life and death contract, Mu Shi would have to wonder if there was something wrong with Beiye. But there have been no changes in the past few days, so there must not be any major problems.
After the chaos in the palace completely subsided and the eldest prince was deposed and imprisoned forever, Su Junlai appeared in front of Mu Shi and the four of them accompanied by Si Li.
I haven't seen him for a few days, his expression is tired, and he has grown a lot of blue stubble on his chin and has not taken care of it, and after becoming the prince, he also changed out of his once low-key military clothes and put on a noble golden robe, as if he had grown up overnight.
His interest was not high, so he said hello and went back to his room to sleep, which made the others a little dull for a while.
"Don't blame him, after such a great change, his father and emperor will not live for a few years, and with his pure heart, it is inevitable that he will be quite hit." Si Li explained.
Mu Shi nodded, very understanding Su Junlai's current feelings, and sighed softly, "I didn't expect him to kill the eldest prince in the end, his heart is indeed too soft." ”
The four of them couldn't help but look sideways, Si Li smiled and said in a low voice, "You are ruthless enough." ”
Mu Shi showed a natural look, "The fool who was bewitched by the demon clan should be killed, this is not only an eternal trouble, but also a vent of the people's anger." Xiaojun is indeed not an emperor's talent. ”
"Yes, no wonder Emperor Su Wu will let you be the emperor's teacher, presumably he also sees that you are decisive in killing, and wants you to teach Xiaojun." Li Yuansheng showed a look of sudden realization.
"You suspect you're scolding me?" Mu Shi squinted his eyes and said with a smile.
"Don't dare, don't dare." Li Yuansheng immediately shook his head like a rattle, and slipped behind Mu Zichen to hide. Because Mu Zichen has experienced the first round of selection in the inner courtyard several times, his perseverance and good talent have not made the four of them much rejected, especially after knowing that he is a relative of Mu Shi, he is even more kind.
Mu Zichen shook his head helplessly, "Okay, then what should we do next, Su Junlai is already the crown prince, so he shouldn't be able to go with us to patrol the mountain anymore." ”
Patrolling the mountains is the code name given to this dangerous operation by the academy team, and it can be regarded as a joy in suffering.
Mu Zichen's words made several people fall silent, yes, the Huangtu Empire is in a special situation now, and it needs Su Jun to support the overall situation, maybe from now on, Su Junlai will not have a chance to fight side by side with them.
After a while, Gu Nan broke the silence with a cold voice, "Just let Mu Shi make up for it." ”
Mu Shi also smiled and comforted, "There is a banquet in the world, if there is no demon attack, we will graduate if we participate in the league as usual and win the championship, or will it disperse, everyone has their own things to do, right?" ”
Li Yuansheng and Si Li both nodded and agreed with Mu Shi's words, but the faint sad atmosphere became even stronger.
Mu Shi secretly questioned whether he was wrong, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
"It's not early, I've been busy these days, let's go back and have a good rest today." Actually, I received a message from the dean, and we were busy going to the front line to find him. After Si Li finished speaking, he got up and looked around, "Rest for one night, I'll go tomorrow, no problem." ”
"Nope." The four replied in unison.
Si Li nodded and took the lead towards the gate, and when the other people saw this, they also got up and left the main hall of Su Junlai, and each went back to their respective rooms to rest.
After a few people parted ways, Si Li stopped at the fork in the road and waited, and Mu Shi couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he saw that he was waiting for him.
Coughing lightly, Mu came up casually, greeted with a slight smile, "The moon is beautiful tonight-"
Si Li looked up at the moon when he heard this, the dark clouds were half-covered, hazy, and indeed beautiful.
"I'm waiting for you." Si Li said softly.
"Hmm...... Can I help you? Mu Shi had no choice but to get straight to the point.
I saw a flash of inspiration in Si Li's hand, and a long sword as light as a bone appeared in his white and slender palm, the sword body was much thinner than ordinary specifications, it looked like only one finger, and it was as thin as a cicada's wings, and Mu Shi even suspected that it would be broken if it was broken.
"I promised you that I would tailor a spiritual martial art for you." There was a faint sadness between Si Li's eyebrows, and he held this strange long sword and handed it to Mu Shi, "I have carefully thought about your combat methods, although you are a magician, you use elemental magic combined with melee combat. Although the style is unique and ferocious, once you meet a powerful martial artist, you will still be dwarfed. ”
Si Li's voice was soft, a little faint in the night wind.
Mu Shi held the hilt of the sword with some curiosity, and slid it slightly, and the sword body shook like water. The fingers gently pinched the blade of the sword and bent it, but there was a very tough rebound.
"Good sword." Mu Shi couldn't help but admire.
Si Li saw that Mu Shi liked it, breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "So I think that ordinary Lingwu is not suitable for you." This soft sword was designed by my own hands, and I asked the masters of the Alchemist Guild to work together to create it. Thin as a cicada's wing, it's tough and malleable, making it perfect for keeping your enemies out of melee combat. ”
Mu Shi looked at the blood marks on his fingertips, and couldn't help but admire the sharpness of this soft sword, and the sword body was soft and bent at will, which meant that it could be attacked from any angle, and this tricky characteristic was absolutely unguardable.
What's more, Mu Shi also found that the hilt of this software was added to the very rare high-level light attribute demon pill refining, which could also be regarded as a good "magic staff".
Mu Shi knew that to build such a spiritual martial art, Si Li must have spent a lot of effort and financial resources, and he was a little speechless for a while.
Seeing this, Si Li smiled softly and urged, "Recognize the Lord with blood, I also want to see it help you." ”
Mu Shi took a deep breath, held the sword and looked at Si Li seriously, and said sincerely, "Thank you, Si Li!" ”
Si Li was stunned, and then smiled bitterly, "I'd rather you don't thank me." ”
Mu Shi pursed his lips and did not respond. Instead, he pressed the broken finger on the hilt of the sword, and the blood beads slowly penetrated, and the software released a bright light, establishing a spiritual connection with Mu Shi.
"The sword name is Rouyue, I hope it can replace me and accompany you all the time." Before Si Li finished speaking, the person had already disappeared. Mu Shi looked at the empty courtyard and sighed silently.
It is said that it is the most difficult to accept the grace of the beauty, and she understands it.
After standing in the cold wind for a moment, Mu Shi put the sword into the storage spirit vessel, turned around and walked towards his room.
The rooms of Si Li's four people are distributed in a side hall closest to Su Junlai's main hall, and Mu Shi was assigned to another side hall because he was a later and his daughter, and one person occupied a hall, which was very comfortable.
The palace maid who was in charge of the lamp saw that Mu Shi was back, and respectfully shouted to the emperor, and was ready to step forward to change Mu Shi's clothes and wash. Mu Shi hurriedly waved her hand and refused, the habits of her previous life still made her unaccustomed to the touch of others, especially strangers.
Pushing all the palace maids, Mu Shi soaked in the prepared hot water and squinted his eyes for a while, combing through what had happened recently, thinking about what Bei Wuming wanted to do.
I remember the first time I met Beigong Heiya, he was just a second-order demon spirit, and when he saw him again, he actually became a demon venerable. If it weren't for Mu Shi's medicinal fire that restrained him to death, it would have been much more difficult to win.
Beigong Heiya was also very angry after recognizing his identity, but Mu Shi didn't give him more time. After forcing him to ask for anything, Mu Shi sent Beigong Heiya to the road neatly.
According to Beigong Heiya, this calculation of using the Great Prince of the Imperial Chart to secretly control the royal family was not proposed by Bei Wuming, who has been missing for almost three months. But what is known is that Emperor Tianming has appeared in the Demon Clan, and the high-level leaders of the Demon Clan are suspicious that Bei Wuming has died with Emperor Tianming.
Moreover, Bei Wuming explained to his daughter in advance that if he disappeared for more than a month, he would launch all attacks on the human race.
In other words, it is the princess Beijialing and the two loyal generals beside her who are now in charge of the demon clan, no, plus the beast emperor should be three.
This time the incident was that Beigong Heiya invited himself to come, and it was foolproof, but he didn't expect to kill a Mu Shi halfway. Otherwise, with the strength of the Black Ya Demon Venerable of the North Palace, the empty royal family in the rear would not be able to detect it at all.
So where did Bei Wuming go? Emperor Tianming has not come back, and he has to ask Dean Qu Chuan about this matter.
Mu Shi thought of this, opened his eyes and walked out of the bathtub, put on his bed clothes and walked barefoot into the bedroom.
A moment later.
"How long have you been here!?"
