Chapter 157: Digging a Well and Waiting
Mu Qingyan watched with amusement as Yan Hong slowly climbed up Zuo Qing's cheeks and teased him, "Chu Xu came to you to avenge the broken tendons back then, and if someone visits, you can pretend to be dead." ”
Zuo Qing only felt that his body was hot and dry, as if there was a nameless fire and nowhere to vent his depression. He tore open the button of his robe, poured a cup of tea that had been cold for a long time, and poured half a cup of tea until he felt a little more comfortable.
"That's Chu Xu's person?" Zuo Qing wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked impatiently.
Mu Qingyan turned over and sat up lazily, and said casually: "I replaced the ghost grass she was going to give you to drink with Qimeng, how about it, am I righteous?" ”
"You...... You are crazy? The small flame in Zuo Qing's body that was poured by the herbal tea poured down burned again, more violently than the last time, and even the eyes that looked at Mu Qingyan were full of longing.
He suppressed the devil in his heart, ripped off his outer robe, and went to take off his middle coat again.
"Stop!" Mu Qingyan immediately jumped off the soft couch and grinned, "The palace is in chaos now, I have arranged for someone to guard you, take your time!" She ran and jumped out of the window.
Zuo Qing sat cross-legged on the couch, opened his internal strength, and settled down in a moment.
He is the descendant of the Poison Saint, and if he were not willing, no poison could hurt him.
Mu Qingyan did not enter the palace, but went to Xicheng through the streets, stopped outside a private house, and entered the courtyard neatly.
"Master, why are you here?" Qing Jin was slightly surprised.
Mu Qingyan sat down across from him, "But what's unusual?" ”
"No, he's been sitting at the window since he came back from Water Moon Villa tonight and hasn't left." Qingjin's face was solemn.
Mu Qingyan looked at the figure sitting in front of the window from a long distance, "Qingjin, shouldn't you have been discovered by him?" She pointed to the other side, "Look at that figure, it's not moving, fake!" ”
"Impossible!" Qing Jin immediately stood up and rushed out.
The figure on the opposite side, who was originally unmoved, suddenly got up, Qing Jin looked at the smile on Mu Qingyan's lips, knowing that she had been tricked again, and gritted his teeth hatefully: "Master, are you really good like this?" ”
"Keep an eye on him, don't let me be too late, and I still count on him as bait to catch a big fish!" Mu Qingyan's face also became solemn, "Chu Xu's palace is in chaos, and I don't know if it has anything to do with King Li." ”
Qingjin shook his head, "Not necessarily, King Li is hiding in Natsume, and all the contacts with the outside world for five years are through An Yuqing's hands." Facing Mu Qingyan's eyes, he said: "Cangxin is already on the way to Xiamu, and everything will be clear in half a month at the latest." ”
Mu Qingyan nodded, "No matter whether Cangxin goes or not, Chu Li has to return to Beijing." ”
"Why?" Qing Jin was puzzled.
Mu Qingyan curled his lips and smiled, and replied to him happily, "Intuition! ”
"......" Qing Jin was speechless.
At this time, in the Changchun Palace, Chu Xu came menacing with the assembled people.
"Fence it off!" Chu Xu walked two lame legs of different lengths, with a smug expression. He pointed at him and stung, "Qiu Feng, this person is handed over to you!" ”
"Good!" Qiu Feng indifferently approached and frightened, and the figure suddenly arrived in front of him.
Chu Xu took dozens of black-clothed people into the inner hall, kicked open the door of the queen's bedroom, and sighed as he walked: "The cave room spends candle night, it's a pity that it's ......"
The group entered the inner room, the veil on the big bed was heavy, and the candle with the thickness of the child's arm was swaying.
"Go and lift the veil!" Chu Xu commanded, and two people stepped forward, and the sword light and sword shadow were only in the blink of an eye, and the veil shattered to the ground. The big bed was empty, and half of the figure was nowhere to be seen.
Chu Xu immediately came back to his senses, "It's not good, I've been fooled, retreat!" ”
"Withdraw? Chu Xu, where do you want to evacuate? Someone outside the door answered loudly: "My good little Dengke was disturbed by you, do you still want to leave?" ”
Chu Xu was deeply remorseful at this time, every link was carefully deduced, and he was careless after all. He knew that it was difficult to escape today, so he turned his heart sideways, "Chu Jue, even if you occupy the magpie's nest, you don't need to be proud, just a few of you want to trap me?" I have been hidden in your inner palace for five years, so naturally I have carefully calculated everything. ”
"Really? Then try to see if you can walk today! Chu Jue was also angry, "Come on, set fire to this Changchun Palace!" ”
Duke De ran forward when he was in office, "Don't be angry, the Changchun Palace is very widely connected, and it is not easy to set fire!" He said earnestly and comfortingly, "Please also ask the emperor to change his method, a few little thieves are still afraid that he will run away?" ”
Chu Jue looked at him funny, and his anger was gone. He just wanted to test Chu Xu's mental endurance, he didn't really want to set it on fire, and Father-in-law De was too much of a fuss.
In the midst of the noise, a string of red light rose into the sky on the roof of Changchun Palace.
Chu Xu's men smashed the roof tiles and released signal flares.
"Master, it's the direction of the Forbidden Palace!" After glancing at Qing Jin's eyes, he still stared at the opposite house quietly.
Mu Qingyan looked at him and asked, "Have you been in Beijing recently?" ”
"I haven't heard of it, I'm afraid that Chu Xu has already arranged for the people to respond."
Within a moment of the signal taking off, someone with extremely high skill approached Changchun Palace.
"I guess Qi Sheng will come." Mu Qinghan smiled and said.
Jing Liang tore away a touch of evil energy, "Are you here to send you to death?" King Ning's fifty years of elite soldiers will all be lost tonight, and it will be his wishful thinking for decades. ”
There was already a fight outside, and Chu Jue's Praetorian Guards were with the people who rescued Chu Xu later.
More and more people are coming towards Changchun Palace, although the Praetorian Guards are outnumbered, they are finally defeated by martial arts masters, and the defeat has appeared.
Suddenly, another group of men and horses, led by a female general, rode on a horse.
"Don't let go of any of them today, take them all!" She jumped off the horse and rushed into the battle circle, attacking Chu Jue inside and out.
"Why is she here?" Ye Heng raised his eyebrows and peeked at Qin Yan and muttered to himself.
Qi Yan, who has been very quiet tonight, took over the conversation, "She entered the Praetorian Guard Camp as the commander, and she asked the emperor for her own order. He also said this to Qin Yan.
But looking at Qin Yan again, his eyes didn't know where he had gone, as if it was none of his business, and he didn't hear half of the sentence in his ears.
Everyone stopped talking, looking at the two sides of the chaos outside the window.
"The fire on East Street has gone to castration, and Xi Yanxing will enter the palace half an hour later, and it will be even more difficult to save Chu Xu at that time." Mu Qinghan looked at the fighting crowd, "So, those who should come within half an hour will come, and they are all ready." ”
"I haven't moved my hands for a long time, and my bones are lazy, it's time to loosen my muscles!" Xiang Tianqi unsheathed a big knife and weighed the weight of the knife.
Sure enough, not long after, someone came again.
The person who came back this time obviously had much higher martial arts, and he glanced at the wing room with some anxiety, and was successfully retracted by Qiu Feng's sword move, so he had to concentrate on the battle.
An old man floated down on the wall, and called inward in high spirits: "Xu'er, don't worry, come for the teacher!" ”
"Master, Master, your old man is finally here!" Chu Xu immediately had a backbone, and his temperament was also hardened, "Kill me out, he will be rewarded every day!" ”
"Yes!" A stack of voices responded, and Chu Xu led people to rush out.
A group of people who followed Qi Sheng attacked Chu Jue.
Qin Yan kicked the door open, pulled out the Ice Spirit Sword and took up his body to save Chu Jue.
Those who besieged Chu Jue and tried to take his life with a sword were all cut off by a bladeless sword in his hand, and they did not dare to venture further. Qin Yan's sudden appearance made the two sides, which were originally evenly matched, suddenly unbalanced.
As soon as Qin Yan entered the battle circle, he was like chopping melons and vegetables, and easily relieved the siege of Chu Jue.
Everyone in the wing room counted out to join the battle circle, and quickly reversed the once dangerous decline just now.
Mu Qinghan fanned in his hand and attacked Qi Sheng.
"It's okay, today, the old man will take all the hairy children who don't know the height of the sky to alchemy, and also go to Xu'er's worries." Qi Sheng said wildly.
Chu Xu wanted to break through the encirclement and unite with Qi Sheng's soldiers, but he didn't know that Xiang Tianqi and Qi Yan led people to trap him back again, and let him be angry and angry, which was useless.
Mu Qinghan danced a fan into a golden light, and fought with Qi Sheng, who had the skill of Yijiazi. He already had a calm temperament, and at this time, he was even more determined to win, but instead forced Qi Sheng, who was bent on helping Chu Xu succeed, into chaos.
In the end, after being in the rivers and lakes for decades, Qi Sheng quickly retracted his contempt and focused on confronting Mu Qinghan, and the situation of the battle also changed with his all-out efforts.
No matter how good Mu Qinghan is, he is too young in the end, and even if he has enough experience, the heat is a little worse. Fortunately, he was not impatient, and he dealt with it calmly with one move, barely entangled Qi Sheng, so that he could not be separated.
The group of people who came with Qi Sheng are not weak in martial arts. After Qin Yan relieved Chu Jue's siege, the two of them slashed all the way in two directions with themselves as the center, and they were not merciful at all.
Suddenly, a monk came out of the crowd and attacked Chu Jue with a Zen staff made of fine iron.
Qin Yan heard the wind and turned around to catch his attacking moves, and he didn't look at it much, he didn't touch him hard.
"Can you stop the old man? If you know each other, get out of here! The great monk spoke lightly, and his subordinates smashed the Zen staff on the head with their deadly force towards Qin Yan.
Qin Yan stepped up towards the Zen staff he had smashed down, looked closer, and suddenly swam away again, striking the cold light of the Ice Spirit Sword in his hand at the vital point of the monk's chest.
The great monk avoided it neatly, fought again, and asked angrily: "Are you the doorman who does not leave the old monster?" ”
Qin Yan didn't hear it, and the sword had already slashed towards the great monk's Zen staff.
"Haha, others may be afraid of your broken sword, but Lao G's Zen staff is also famous in the world's weapons spectrum!" The great monk really came to pick up Qin Yan's sword light, "Although the Ice Spirit Sword is good, the blade is too light and thin, and the old man wants to try his sharpness." ”
Qin Yan flicked his wrist flexibly, and one by one the sword flowers attacked the great monk with Wan Jun's internal strength, "Wujie, are you going to be greedy for the wealth of the world now?" ”
"Haha, the child is talking nonsense! The world's wealth is not as good as a woman's bed, and the old man is not rare. Wujie laughed madly, "Since he promised to help others and take away this heavenly wealth, the old man will not lose his words." "He's fighting and attacking.
The corners of Qin Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, knowing that he couldn't say that he would do everything he had learned in his life today.
Unprecepted and inseparable are the famous rivers and lakes of the same generation, and he became a monk halfway when he was frustrated in love when he was young. No one can say exactly what happened during his years of ordination, which caused a great change in his temperament. So much so that after being expelled from the school, he intensified, changed his name to Wujie, coveted women, was good at drinking and aggressive, but he didn't know when he was mixed with King Ning.
Today, Qi Sheng and Wujie came together, thinking that they had been planning for a long time, and they were going to take advantage of the emperor's big wedding cave room to lose the police, and when the four kings and six departments lost their sleep after drinking, the palace and the palace and the palace joined forces to attack, so as to seize the throne in one fell swoop.
But he didn't want to be Mu Qingyan suddenly wanted to send wine to Chu Jue and had insight into the heavens, so he laid a net in this Changchun Palace, dug a deep well first, and waited for him to take the initiative to send it to the door.
Chu Jue had not taken off his happy clothes, but at this time he was stained with blood, and he was so red that he was dazzling and terrifying. He has done everything he has learned in his life, and he can protect himself. Seeing the blood staining the deep palace, the few people who were calm and calm on weekdays were all ragged and scattered, and they couldn't bear it. No matter how much he doesn't like the throne, he has taken this responsibility.
If Mu Qingyan's jumping off the cliff touched his heart to fight for the throne and the world, then this is the first time he has been driven by the throne willingly, for the sake of these brothers who would rather sacrifice their lives to protect the rivers and mountains of Eastern Chu.
The brocade robe on Jing Liang's body had already been scattered, and the jade belt didn't know when it would break. The sword in his hand did not hesitate at all, and most of the people who were going to save Chu Xu stopped in front of him.
The Praetorian Guards suffered countless casualties, and more than half of the hundreds of good hands brought by Qi Sheng were lost.
Xi Yanxing, who should have entered the palace a long time ago, didn't know what was delayed, thinking that there should be chaos in the city. Several people gradually weakened, although there were many Praetorian Guards, but there was nothing to be done under the sword of the martial arts master, and batches were only sent to death in vain. If it goes on for so long, several people will inevitably be injured, and at this time, suddenly another person comes.
The first person landed on the ground, and more than a dozen people fell behind him.
"It doesn't seem too late!" The person who landed first had a grinning face, "Gongzi Jue, did you guess that I would come?" ”
Before he could speak, someone suddenly answered lazily, "Nangong Hao, what's so strange about you coming?" Even if An Yuxuan comes, he won't want to leave today! ”
The person who came was Nangong Hao, who had been missing for five years, and he searched around for his voice, still smiling, "Oh? Since you know that An Yuxuan is here, you must also know that Emperor Lihuang is back. He laughed a little rampantly, and asked disdainfully: "Haha, who are you, do you dare to hide?" ”
"I'm not capable, but you may not be able to find me, don't believe me!" The lazy voice was full of banter, "Just with the skills of you three-legged cats, you are also delusional to force the palace, it's just whimsical!" ”
Nangong Hao's face instantly turned gloomy and cold, "Let the signal out!" ”
He intently searched for the source of the voice, but after several unsuccessful attempts, it seemed to come in the air.
Immediately, someone shot a red light into the air, and suddenly Changchun Palace was illuminated, and there was light in all directions.
"Kill, don't leave a single one!" Nangong Hao gave an order to the people who followed, "The one who beheads Gongzi Jue's head, Emperor Lihuang will be rewarded!" He raised his head to look for Mu Qinghan, with a smile on the corner of his lips, "Gongzi Han, the thing that King Li said promised you the day before yesterday is still the same, you can go first!" ”
