Chapter 28: Unexpected

Like a quiet night, the bright moon is obscured by turbid clouds. A row of black shadows on the eaves stepped on the roof tiles, jumped down in the courtyard, and then cautiously walked silently into the dimly lit room.

Mu Yunqi hid behind the arch outside the courtyard, and saw several black-clothed people led by Gong Ran enter the room in an orderly manner, and then closed the door.

She entered the courtyard lightly, carefully walking inward under the wall. Stopped outside the window lattice, turned sideways and listened to the conversation in the room.

The dim candle flame lit all over the room, Gong Huan sat on the chair in the room, looking at the people standing in the center of the room with fierce faces, they bowed their heads and were silent, their faces serious and faintly revealing a trace of fear.

He glanced at everyone, saw that their faces were dejected, his eyes turned to Gong Ran, and said coldly: "Defeated? ”

Gong Ran sighed: "When Mu Yunche fought with him, I had already swung my sword and stabbed him, but I didn't want to be blocked by a woman, Gu Hanyi rushed to rescue him, Lu Zhou has been captured, they have escaped from Lu Zhou, Mu Yunche was forcibly taken away by Su Lu and others." ”

"Woman?"

"It should be the clan girl who married Lian Chaoyuan to NATO."

Gong Huan hooked the corners of his mouth, got up and walked towards him with his hands in his hands, bowing his head and looking pensive.

At this time, the person beside Gong Ran spoke: "Palace Master, can Mu Yunche be saved?" ”

"Where are his generals?" He asked, looking up.

"Now that Luzhou has been captured, they are now guarding Luzhou." Gong Ran replied, thought for a while, and said, "Without Mu Yunche, they probably won't be under our command." ”

Gong Huan glanced at him, smiled meaningfully, and looked at the candle flame silently. Presumably, many generals will be more willing to obey Mu Yunqi, after all, she is their real master.

Gong Ran looked at his incomprehensible smile, and suddenly realized: "Second brother is saying..."

Under the corner of the window lattice, Mu Yunqi couldn't help but be full of doubts when he heard this, and he couldn't understand the unspoken meaning of Gong Ran's words.

Thinking that the third brother had been captured, listening to the conversation in the room did not seem to have the intention of rescuing, she left cautiously and discharged from the hospital with very light steps.

Walking to the courtyard gate, the door of the courtyard was opened, she panicked to hide her body, but the big body hooked on the flower pot, she pulled hard, the flower pot fell to the ground, and there was a loud breaking sound in the night.

"Who?" There was an urgent sound at the door, and the sound of messy footsteps was heard quickly.

Mu Yunqi saw that it had been exposed, no longer hidden, and walked quickly in the direction of the mansion gate.

Gong Huan took the candle lamp in the hand of the person behind him, looked at the fragments of the flower pot, and picked up a trace of white brocade hooked on the branch in the flower pot to inspect it.

Recalling the snow-white mantle on Mu Yunqi's body, he turned around and said: "Gong Ran, take someone to rescue Mu Yunche quickly, if the NATO army arrives and coerces him to make the border generals surrender, Yun Yin will definitely lead the generals to surrender without a fight." He flew away, tossing the candle in his hand to the ground, and the sound drifted behind him.

How could he have forgotten that Yun Yin was delicate, not shocked, and had a good relationship with Mu Yunche's brothers and sisters, and would definitely take the generals to rescue him, and even exchange the border land for him.

If Gu Hanxuan insisted on taking her away, once she compromised for the sake of Mu Yunche, all her thoughts would not be in vain. Two months later, on a moonlit night, Yin Luo had to endure the pain of eating bones and bleeding.

Mu Yunqi quickly walked to the gate of the mansion, Yingtang and Yirong stood on both sides of the gate, and when they saw her coming out in a hurry, Yirong greeted her and asked, "But what's the matter?" ”

"The third brother was taken away by Gu Hanxuan, Yingtang, hurry up and prepare the horse, I want to save the third brother." She said impatiently to the woman at the door.

"The slave and the maid go with the young lady." After she finished speaking, she headed for the house.

"Something happened to General Mu?" Yirong asked with a worried look

Mu Yunqi nodded, his face was solemn and worried, looking at the street under the dark night, thinking carefully about what the other party said in the room.

Gong Huan stepped out from within, his eyes on her, his face staring at her as he approached step by step like the cold of an ice cellar.

Mu Yunqi's eyes met him, there was no fear in her eyes, her eyelashes trembled, and she retracted her gaze and turned her back to him.

From his undisguised gaze, she saw a different banter from the past, and there was no hatred after he woke up after an avalanche, it was something that she couldn't see at all surging in his eyes.

The sound of horses' hooves trampling on the street sounded, and Yingtang led two war horses out of the gate next to the mansion gate.

Mu Yunqi glanced at Yirong and said, "Yirong wants to go with him?" ”

The man standing quietly at the gate of the mansion nodded, and took the lead in stepping out.

Mu Yunqi's wrist was suddenly pinched, she looked back in confusion, and said coldly: "Could it be that the palace master doesn't want to rescue, and he won't let me save it?" ”

Gong Huan withdrew the look in Fang Cai's eyes, his gaze gradually softened, and he said softly: "I have asked Gong Ran to take someone to rescue him, if you go again, it will only add to the chaos." ”

"If the people of Haoyue Palace really want to save it, how can they abandon my third brother and return alone?" Her tone was angry, and her words were a little fierce.

"The situation has changed today, no one expected that Gu Hanxuan would think about taking Mu Yunche away in a hurry, now Gong Ran has led people to go, if he doesn't return before dawn, how can he discuss how to rescue him?" He said patiently, not angry at her sharp words.

His gentle voice calmed Mu Yunqi down, looking at him silently, her eyes entangled with him, and after a while, she brushed away his hand holding her sleeve and stood on the stone steps of the mansion gate.

Gong Huan stood behind her, neither leaving nor stepping forward, looking at her back under the candlelight and silent.

"Miss Mu, I'll go to the city gate to take a look." He stood at the foot of the stone steps, looked at her and said.

Mu Yunqi nodded and said, "Yingtang will go with you, if there is any news, come and inform me as soon as possible." ”

It seems that she can't get out of her body today, she knows that she can't do it as well as the person behind her, and even if he has made a promise, she has to believe him once.

Yirong nodded, took a horse from Yingtang's hand, turned over and rode on, and said to the woman on the stone steps: "Don't worry, they captured General Mu in order to contain the border generals, and they won't do anything to him now." ”

Mu Yunqi's eyes were glazed, and he nodded at him and said, "I hope so." ”

In the silence of the night, two horses galloped away from the street, and the sound was particularly loud.

With the sound of horses' hooves getting farther and farther away, two figures outside the mansion gate were pulled out of the long shadows, and the occasional wind blowing in from outside the mansion gate swayed the lanterns under the house, and the dim candle flame swayed.

There was no sound behind him for a long time, but the shadow on the side was still reflected on the ground, Mu Yunqi didn't want to look back, sat on the stone steps, and looked at the dark end of the street with one hand on his cheek.

The sky gradually brightened, and the end of the street rose from darkness to light, but there was no movement.

"Palace Master, it's dawn." She stood up and looked at him.

Gong Huan groaned slightly, now that the army on Gu Hanxuan's side has not arrived, it should be easy for Gong Ran to rescue Mu Yunche with the people of Haoyue Palace, why hasn't he returned for a long time.

And there is no news to bring back at the moment, and no one has returned from the generals who went to Luzhou, so it seems that the situation is not as he expected.

"I'll lead the horses and see the city gates." After saying that, he turned and entered the house.

In front of the street, people have opened their doors and fiddled with the ornaments of their shops.

Gong Huan took out two horses and stopped on the stone steps, Mu Yunqi turned over and rode his horse behind him in the direction of the city gate.

In the quiet streets of the early morning, many shops have been opened, and looking at the horses galloping from the direction of the General's Town Guard's Mansion, they have stepped to the door and leaned against the door, looking at the back of the galloping horses.

Seeing this scene, they were also secretly worried, and they didn't know how long the current calm could last, so they secretly hoped that the general would attack all the way to victory and prevent NATO troops from entering the border, so that this war would not disturb the stability of the city.

Although they are NATO, more than ten years ago this place was still in the court, and it was General Mu who guarded this place to give them peace and did not treat the people harshly, so that they could live and work here in peace and contentment and live a peaceful life.

But the general who thought about the people in his heart died for a strange reason, so they were not too surprised by Mu Yunche's rebellion, it was just another war.
