159 Muzhen returned to the West
By the time Mu Zhen realized that she had been tricked, it was too late.
The men and horses he brought into the palace were jointly surrounded and suppressed by the auxiliary army and the Situ army guarding the periphery in an instant, and no piece of armor was left.
Mu Zhen watched the big eunuch help Mu Zhan who was lying on the bed to get up, a touch of surprise flashed in his eyes, he had carefully arranged it for so long, didn't it mean that Mu Zhan was critically ill, and most of the guards in the palace were also killed by him Mu Zhen, where did those people who surrounded him jump out?
Before Mu Zhen could come out of her doubts, Mu Luo and Situ Qianchen had already knelt in front of Mu Zhan.
"Father, the rebels have all been wiped out."
Mu Zhen looked at Mu Luo kneeling on the ground in disbelief, how could he be here?!
"You...... Is Mu Luo a trap you put on me?! Mu Zhen was already annoyed and angry, and was about to pounce on Mu Luo to fight to the death, but suddenly the guards beside him had already restrained Mu Zhen's arms, making him kneel on the ground and unable to move.
Mu Luo turned his head to look, and his eyes were full of the victor's contempt: "Mu Zhen, do you think that your father doesn't know your rebellious intentions?" ”
Mu Zhan motioned for Mu Luo to get up, and then, with the support of the great eunuch, walked in front of Mu Zhen: "Zhen'er, I really misjudged you, I didn't expect you to secretly murder me. ”
Mu Zhen's eyes wandered, now that he has become a king and lost a king, and he has won both stolen goods, he has nothing left, he has to quickly lower his posture and beg for Mu Zhan's forgiveness: "Father, Erchen didn't want to murder you, Erchen really wanted to be good for you and for the sake of your body." ”
"Then you sent someone to put oleander in my pill, it is also for my good?"
Mu Zhen was completely stunned, how did Mu Zhan know about this?
Mu Zhan sighed, waved his hand and motioned for the guards to escort Mu Zhen down, and tomorrow in the court, Mu Zhen's crime will be decided.
Mu Zhen was naturally unwilling, he shouted to break free, but everything was already a foregone conclusion, and no matter what he said, it would be a crime of rebellion.
Soon, Mu Zhen was sentenced to Ling Chi for the crime of murdering the current saint, and it was scheduled to be executed the day after tomorrow.
Mu Zhen is locked up on death row, he has long lost the domineering attitude he had when he was a prince, he is nested in the corner of death row at the moment, embarrassed.
The chains of the cell door were opened, and a long figure walked in, Mu Zhen didn't expect that the first person to come to taunt him was not the final winner Mu Luo, but Mu Jinghong.
Mu Zhen's hair was messy, and when he saw that it was Mu Jinghong standing in front of him, he still had a disdainful look.
"I thought it was who came, it turned out to be you, what, seventh brother, are you here to see me off for the last time?"
Mu Jinghong looked down at him with low eyes, as if he was looking at a clown, he had thought about how to bring down Mu Zhen's plan, but before it was implemented, Situ Qianchen and Mu Luo started in advance, and the speed was so fast that Mu Jinghong couldn't help but be speechless.
"Mu Zhen, do you think that with our relationship, I will come to give you a ride?"
Mu Zhen played with the iron chains she was wearing on her wrists, and raised her eyebrows: "Yes, in this world, except for Mu Luo and Situ Qianchen, you Mu Jinghong is looking forward to me dying the most, and now that you finally get your wish, you can laugh at me as much as you want, and get all the previous humiliation back." ”
"I'm not coming to you today, it's not to do that kind of boring thing, I just want to know where is the Seven Star Chester?"
Chest of Drawers? Mu Zhen recited it silently in his heart, he remembered that before forcing the palace, Angelica promised to help him, but at the last moment, the Seven Star Chest did not even show up to anyone, so that he became where he is now.
"What are you looking for the Chest of Seven-Star Drawers for?" Mu Zhen squinted at Mu Jinghong, and suddenly he suddenly thought, and the corners of his mouth pulled up a sarcastic smile: "I know, you are looking for a murderer for Ye Zhengbai, right?" ”
"No more nonsense!" Mu Jinghong pulled up Mu Zhen, who was sitting on the ground, with a cold look in his eyes: "I'll ask you one last time, where is the Seven Star Cabinet?" ”
Mu Zhen was so close to Mu Jinghong, he could clearly see the anger surging in Mu Jinghong's eyes, and he suddenly laughed: "Mu Jinghong, if you want to avenge Ye Zhengbai, you don't need to be so troublesome as the Seven Star Cabinet, I can directly tell you who killed Ye Zhengbai." ”
Mu Jinghong was half incredulous, and Mu Zhen took advantage of his hesitation for a moment, and approached his ear and said word by word: "It's me." ”
Mu Jinghong's eyes widened, and he looked at Mu Zhen who was laughing a little crazy in disbelief, Mu Zhen's martial arts, he didn't have no experience, after dozens of moves, he couldn't even reach Ye Zhengbai's hair, such a person actually admitted that he killed Ye Zhengbai, how could this be possible?
Mu Jinghong forced him against the wall, and the dagger in his hand was already cold against his neck: "You don't want to talk nonsense to deceive me, my eldest brother's swordsmanship is superb, how can he die in your hands?" ”
"You don't believe it? That day was the deserted house I led Ye Zhengbai to, I couldn't beat him, but with some other means, would he Ye Zhengbai be my opponent Mu Zhen? ”
Mu Zhen didn't look like she was weaving a lie when she said this, could it be that there was really something hidden in this?
Mu Zhen saw that Mu Jinghong was already a little confused, so he was ruthless in his heart, and directly put his neck close to the dagger: "Come on, Mu Jinghong, haven't you always wanted to avenge Ye Zhengbai?" Now that the enemy is in front of you, what are you waiting for? Kill me, kill me! ”
The sharp blade of the dagger had already pierced a little, and the red flowed out of the wound, but Mu Jinghong took a step back and let go of his hand.
Mu Zhen leaned against the wall and glared at Mu Jinghong: "What? Are you scared, you keep saying that you want to avenge Ye Zhengbai, why are you cowardly now?! ”
Mu Jinghong is not stupid, if he ends Mu Zhen's life in prison, then he will put on a murder hat, Mu Zhen does this, it is nothing more than breaking the jar, and before he dies, he has to pull a person to make a cushion.
"Mu Zhen, did you really kill my eldest brother?"
"What do you think I'm a dying man to lie to you?" Mu Zhen smiled weirdly.
Mu Jinghong put away the dagger, the details of which need to be scrutinized, and it cannot be determined just by Mu Zhen's words that Ye Zhengbai was really killed by him.
"Mu Zhen, your wishful thinking is wrong, at this juncture, I am not such an impulsive person, you don't want to suffer from Ling Chi, so you want to be freed under my knife, there is no door, you just stay here and wait for the execution the day after tomorrow."
After that, Mu Jinghong walked out of the prison gate, and the string that Mu Zhen had been tightening was loosened in an instant.
Just now, Mu Jinghong's dagger was against his neck, he was really afraid, if Mu Jinghong had an impulse and killed him, then he would really die too unjustly.
"I've done what you tell me to do, and you can keep your promise, right?" Mu Zhen leaned against the wall and yelled at the empty cell.
After a while, a touch of crimson came out of the darkness, and the man wearing a silver water-streaked mask under the cloak was none other than Tu Qianchen, the main boss of the Seven Star Closet.
"Do you think Mu Jinghong believes it?" Situ Qianchen suddenly spoke.
With Mu Zhen's understanding of Mu Jinghong for so many years, judging from his eyes, he was half-convinced, and he couldn't help but lower his eyes and said: "The man in red, what we said was that I admitted that Ye Zhengbai was killed by me, but there was no agreement that Mu Jinghong must believe it, right?" ”
Situ Qianchen's eyes were deep and he didn't say a word.
Mu Zhen stretched out the iron chain on her wrist to Situ Qianchen: "I've done it, you can help me escape from this death row now, right?" ”
Situ Qianchen's gaze fell on the iron chain, and he was not in a hurry: "Fourth prince, I heard Angelica say, haven't you always wanted to see me?" How about I make an exception today so that you can see me for what I really are. ”
Mu Zhen's eyes narrowed slightly, this guy has never kept his word when he speaks, and now he is so different from the topic, what is he hiding?
"Don't you wonder what kind of face I have behind this mask?"
Mu Zhen vaguely felt that something was wrong, the voice of the man in red who said this just now had changed, and it sounded a little familiar.
Before he could come back to his senses, the man in red had already taken off his mask, and what appeared in front of Mu Zhen's eyes was a familiar face that could not be more familiar, which ...... Isn't this Situ Qianchen?
Mu Zhen's eyes widened, her heart was suddenly pinched, thinking about the cause and effect of the matter, it turned out that it was not Mu Luo who set him up, but Situ Qianchen who was hiding behind the scenes!
"You...... It's you! Mu Zhen seemed to have seen something terrifying, and layers of cold sweat broke out on his back, and he leaned against the wall, deliberately distancing himself from Situ Qianchen.
Situ Qianchen looked at the water pattern mask in his hand, and his eyes showed a cold light: "Mu Zhen, I didn't kill you in Tianji City, it doesn't mean that I have let you go in my life, and you will have to pay off the debt you owe my brother sooner or later." ”
"Situ Qianchen, don't mess around, I was also confused at the beginning, but now that I know that I have repented, you can spare my life." Mu Zhen knelt directly in front of him, kowtowing constantly, knocking until blood flowed from her forehead.
Situ Qianchen grabbed Mu Zhen's collar with one hand and lifted him up.
"Mu Zhen, how can a person like you know to repent, don't worry, when you get down, you won't be lonely, I will send Mu Luo and Mu Zhan to accompany you immediately, you can go down there to atone for your sins."
After that, Situ Qianchen tightly strangled the chain between Mu Zhen's hands around his neck, Mu Zhen's eyes protruded, his hands and feet were scratching and kicking in mid-air, in a panic, his hand tore off the corners of Situ Qianchen's clothes and held them in his palm, and gradually, his strength to struggle was gone.
Situ Qianchen took out the three-foot white silk that had been prepared early in his arms and hung Mu Zhen on the beam.
The red figure disappeared into the cell, and Mu Zhen, who was hanging on the white silk, still had a breath, he raised his hand with the last of his strength, and the blood on his fingertips made him write the word "medicine" on the wall, and he returned to the west.
