Chapter 156 didn't let you sleep directly
The blade of the sword had been polished, shining like a starlight on the roof in the moonlight. Murong Li's expression froze, he put the sword into the scabbard and slowly stood up.
He is ready to die, and tonight, if he doesn't succeed, he will become a benevolent!
In his shallow sleep, Xiao Mochen vaguely felt as if he was walking on a silent and uninhabited path, with no sound around, only his slightly heavy footsteps.
The surrounding scenery was an oppressive dark gray, which made Xiao Mochen feel a little uneasy, and he tried to change his perspective, only to find that he had no way to take any action at all.
It was only then that he discovered the most terrible thing - he was not a walker, he was the head that was carried by the walker.
He tried to look up, but the person carrying his head still couldn't distinguish his face, only that he had a gloomy face, and slowly walked in this terrifying ghost realm.
After realizing this, Xiao Mochen's pupils widened suddenly, he woke up from this nightmare, and got up suddenly, his close-fitting underwear was already soaked with sweat.
Although he had been born and died on the battlefield for many years, he had long been accustomed to all kinds of eerie and terrifying scenes, but there had never been a scene that hit his heart as violently as this dream.
Who's that? Who killed him?
A rare fear rose in Xiao Mochen's heart, and at the same time, he keenly heard the sound of rustling footsteps from the depths of the deserted bamboo forest.
Murong Li walked briskly on the path of the bamboo forest, his microwave stride had reached a level that no one could match, and he was confident that he would not be discovered by the scouts.
Sure enough, one of the two scouts on the high platform outside the main hall had already dozed off, and the other was obviously out of energy, although the other was awake.
Murong Li slowly brought up a smile, took out a short bow from his waist, and aimed at the soldier who was dozing against the wall.
The venom-stained silver needle pierced the soldier's neck with precision, and as soon as his body went limp, he fell straight down.
The other soldier hesitated a little, and shouted: "Let you take a nap first, I didn't let you sleep directly, get up quickly." β
After shouting twice and not moving, a bad premonition rose in the soldier's heart. He swallowed hard and leaned down slowly, ready to check what was wrong with his companion.
The moment he leaned over, a second galloping silver needle sent him to the western sky with his questions.
Murong Li emerged from the shadows, a smile of interest on the corner of his mouth.
At night, the main house of Jinluan Hall is lit up with dim lights, and the houses next to it are all dark, which sets off this place as if it is the main cave of the mausoleum, gloomy and lonely.
Murong Li walked slowly towards the main house, his straw sandals stepping on the cold bluestone steps, as if stepping through the thin layer of frost condensed on them, making a crisp sound.
The saber in his hand was ticking and sliding bright red blood at the moment. It was a souvenir he had just taken off the heads of five guards, five different kinds of blood, and it was his appetizer tonight.
Gently pushing open the side door, the sleeping maid had no time to end the vague dream, and her neck was cold, and she lost the opportunity to speak and fantasize forever.
Murong Li turned around and walked around to the door of the side room, squinting his eyes, and listening carefully to the sounds in the main house.
There was a dead silence in the room, so silent that it was as if the sound of breathing did not exist, as if it had been abandoned for thousands of years.
Murong Li subconsciously opened the door curtain with a long sword, and then the bright moonlight outside the window, he looked at the bed in the main house. It was pitch black, and there was a dark shadow on the bed, and it was impossible to see if it was a lying figure or a pile of bedding.
Xiao Mochen is really not an ordinary person, could it be that he has already discovered his existence?
An interested smile slowly swung at the corner of Murong Li's mouth, and he raised the blood-stained blade slightly, and walked in.
As soon as he took the first step, he jerked back, feeling a cold, sharp arrow fly almost against the tip of his nose. He frowned and immediately looked to the side.
Xiao Mochen was wearing a dark undershirt, holding a bow and arrow in his hand, looked at him coldly, and said, "Who asked you to come?" β
Murong Li was a little surprised that Xiao Mochen chose a bow and arrow as a melee weapon, but when he saw the thick bandage on his right arm, he understood that there were fewer opportunities for the bow and arrow to use his right hand, and it could also relieve the force.
This kid, when he is dying, is he still thinking about how to save his right hand?
"If King Chen has doubts in his heart, why don't you ask the boatman in the underworld later?" Murong Li smiled playfully and said, "After all, I won't tell the truth, but they should." β
Xiao Mochen smiled faintly, his eyes were as warm as the frost of winter, and said, "If it's for money, I'll pay a hundred times, you can leave." β
Being able to take advantage of the moonlight, quietly slaughter the guards all the way, and directly reach the assassin in the main mansion alone, Xiao Mochen knew that he was by no means an idle person.
"It's really a generous shot, worthy of being the premier King Chen of the Empire, and it's different from the small fish and shrimp I usually assassinate." Murong Li said with some mockery, a touch of fierceness flashed in his eyes, and said, "It's a pity, I'm not in it for money." β
Xiao Mochen's expression did not change, he clenched the bow and arrow in his hand a little, and said, "Then is it seeking revenge?" It's a pity that I took too many heads off the battlefield, and I'm afraid I can't remember the tragic situation of your master before he died. β
If it weren't for this relationship, Murong Li would really appreciate Xiao Mochen's courage in the face of danger and Ling Ran's attitude of not being surprised by changes. He had seen people who were too dying, and none of them were like Xiao Mochen, who still maintained a noble temperament and speech.
"Why does King Chen talk so much nonsense with me? If you really want to know the answer, feel free to think of me as a gathering of the souls of soldiers who have been killed by you. Murong Li slowly raised the long sword in his hand, halved the moonlight, and said gloomily.
Xiao Mochen's eyes darkened, and he immediately launched a sharp arrow.
Although Xiao Mochen's movements were very fast, and the angle of his launch was extremely tricky, Murong Li still easily dodged sideways, and stood in place without any damage.
In terms of speed and reflexes, Murong Li was confident that he would not be inferior to anyone else, a skill he had learned over the years as an assassin.
But in the next second, Murong Li felt a large net fall from above, and instantly wrapped him up and hung it above the beam.
Murong didn't have time to react, and the moment he was trapped, his long sword also fell out of his hand and fell to the ground, letting out a crisp roar.
Since Ye Ziyu gave him this saber, this is the first time he has been separated from it.
"You!"
Murong Li was firmly pinned down in the net, unable to move. He tried hard to break the rope, but found that no matter how hard he tried, the rope that looked very slender just didn't move.
"Give it up, this is a good net for the Western Regions, which can be used to tie up a wild elephant, let alone you, a **mortal?"
Seeing that Murong Li was tied up as expected, Xiao Mochen breathed a sigh of relief and slowly sat back on the chair behind him.
"The dignified King Chen, he is so despicable! It is really detrimental to your reputation to resort to such indiscriminate means! β
Murong Li was a little annoyed, this was the first time he miscalculated. He is known for his carefulness and prudence when he goes out on assignments, always checking the environment before taking the next step.
However, this time, as soon as he entered the room of the main mansion, his attention was attracted by Xiao Mochen who was holding a bow and arrow, and he didn't expect that there was a mechanism behind him, and there was a big net waiting for him above his head.
Xiao Mochen was actually a little apprehensive, it only took him more than ten minutes to set this trap, and he was not completely sure whether it could be done, but this was really the only resistance he could do now.
"You still say me? If you didn't know that I had an injury to my right hand, how would you have the courage to come and fight me late at night? Xiao Mochen smiled coldly and broke his words.
As soon as he heard Xiao Mochen's question, Murong Li stopped his voice and could only stare at him with wide eyes.
He did deliberately take advantage of his injuries to come to sneak attack. After all, Xiao Mochen's sword skills are famous all over the world, and he is known to be invincible, if it is normal, Murong Li may not be completely sure to come.
Seeing Murong Li's gloomy face, Xiao Mochen lit the kerosene lamp next to him, raised his eyes and asked, "Now explain the reason clearly, I can still keep your whole body." β
The terrifying nightmare is still in my mind, who is the person who took his life? Is it the fierce assassin in front of him, or the mastermind behind the assignment of him?
Xiao Mochen frowned, he really wanted to know this answer.
"Thank you, Lord for your love, you don't have to be polite." Murong Li smiled coldly and said, "If I were greedy for the whole corpse, I wouldn't do anything like hanging by a thread, don't you think?" β
Murong Li had already made up his mind, the big deal was death, anyway, it was impossible for him to betray Ye Ziyu.
Xiao Mochen looked at him quietly for a while, and suddenly said: "I see that you are quite familiar, listen to the accent, are you from Luzhou?" β
Hearing Xiao Mochen's question, Murong Li's expression changed, and the obscure memories of the past seemed to be preparing to make a comeback with a hideous face. The great pain made him close his eyes instantly, gritted his teeth and said, "I don't understand what you're saying. β
Looking at Murong Li's resistance reaction, Xiao Mochen was even more sure of his inner inference, his eyes lit up, and then he said affirmatively: "You are the orphan of the Murong clan in Luzhou, yes or no?" β
The Murong family of Luzhou was once also a well-known imperial family, and this family was dedicated to the research and development of the art of Qimen Dunjia to provide support for the empire's armament.
However, five years ago, because the Murong family was framed for colluding with the party to make trouble, and was also exposed to participate in the coup d'Γ©tat in the text prison that shocked the whole country, the old Mr. Murong, who was the head of the family at the time, was arrogant, only claimed to have a clear conscience, and refused to make any arguments, so he was ordered to be beheaded by the old emperor who was dazed at the time.
On the day of the execution, 15-year-old Xiao Mochen accompanied Jing Zhao Yin Yitong to supervise the killing. The scene of the family being brutally slaughtered made Xiao Mochen unbearable, and under his instruction, the youngest son of the Murong clan was arranged in the last position to be killed.
At that time, he wanted to buy some time for the last hope of the family, waiting for the old emperor to change his mind.
But the miracle did not happen, seeing that the executioner was about to raise the blade against the skinny last Murong orphan, Xiao Mochen wanted to get up to stop it, but saw a sudden commotion in the crowd, and a group of assassins appeared, wanting to rob the young man.
The minister of supervision wanted to order the group to be hanged, but was stopped by Xiao Mochen, who allowed them to escape, and permanently covered up the secret.
Later, it was revealed that the Murong family was actually innocent. More than 200 innocent people died tragically, which became the only stain on the history of the old emperor's political career, and everyone kept silent about it.
And right now, this man with beautiful eyebrows in the net, speaking with a Luzhou accent, and his appearance is so familiar, Xiao Mochen almost confirmed his identity!
Murong Li recalled the terrible scene of the tragic death of a family member one by one, hugged his head in some pain, and roared: "No, you are not qualified to mention this matter, no!" β
Although it was equivalent to Xiao Mochen giving him a way to live, after all, it was his father who gave the order to kill, and he sat on the prison beheading platform and witnessed all this with his own eyes.
Therefore, Xiao Mochen is equivalent to an accomplice! The same is unforgivable!
Seeing Murong Li's reaction, Xiao Mochen had already determined the cause and effect before and after. He naturally thought that Murong Li had come to assassinate him in person in order to avenge the Murong clan.
Thinking of this, Xiao Mochen couldn't help but sigh slowly, looked up at Murong Li and said: "Actually, Your Majesty has been looking for an opportunity to rehabilitate the Murong family, the dynasty has already rebuilt the mausoleum for your family in Luzhou, and is preparing to order the world to prove the innocence of the Murong family on the occasion of this year's national birthday." β
Murong Li was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xiao Mochen with some mockery, and said, "Oh? Am I going to kneel down to thank you for the Shaw Dynasty? Thank you for killing my whole family and dragging them neatly into the cold, damp holes! β
As soon as the words came out, Murong Li's mood became even more irritable, he glanced at Xiao Mochen angrily, and then tentatively wanted to pull out the dagger short knife he had hidden from between his legs to end his life!
He never wanted to have any contact with the people of the Xiao Dynasty again, and he didn't want to hear a word of nonsense from them!
said that it was too late, Xiao Mochen saw his interruption, and quickly pressed a switch at hand. The rope hanging from the net broke, and Murong Li rolled to the ground.
Taking advantage of his lack of reaction, Xiao Mochen immediately stepped forward and hit him on the back of the neck with a hand knife, knocking him unconscious in an instant.
At the same time, the guards of the Jinluan Palace, who were aware of the hindsight, finally hurried over, broke into the main mansion and said, "Lord Wang! At this moment in the house, the last wave of guards has all been killed! β
As they spoke, they suddenly spotted Murong Li fainting on the ground, and their expressions changed instantly, and they opened the formation and raised their blades at him.
"Don't hurt him!"
Xiao Mochen shouted, and the guards trembled, looking back at him with some confusion.
"Remove the hidden weapon from his body, put him in a dungeon and keep him under strict guard, and remember not to give him a chance to kill himself." Xiao Mochen said slowly: "Don't treat him too harshly, at least ensure food and water." The latest chapter of "The Runaway Princess is Very Easy Claw Book House" is free to read for the first time.
