Chapter 34: Fighting in the Woods

The gentle breeze blows off the petals on the pear tree, and the snow-white petals flutter in the wind, fluttering in the air with the wind, and the whole sky seems to be the only white petals left.

Mu Yunqi strolled under the pear tree, looking up at the petals flying like snow with a light smile.

Yesterday, after Gu Hanxuan took Xin Guifei away, today he still invited her out to enjoy the flowers, just walked into the pear forest, but a soldier came to report that someone in the city was making trouble, he didn't have to deal with it, the grain and grass collected because of the war before, now the war stopped and returned to the local merchants, and there were endless arguments between many shops.

Because it is a big merchant in Luzhou City, it offers a lot of levies to the imperial court every year. King Yi and Su Lu were dealing with Mu Yunche's remaining troops at the border, and just after the war, the people and merchants needed to be appeased, so he had no choice but to deal with it in person, leaving Mu Yunqi and his personal soldiers here.

I have to say that Gu Hanxuan can be regarded as a good emperor, after ascending the throne, he rewarded hundreds of officials, reduced taxes and released grain for the people, not to mention the diligent government and love the people, and cherished the common people of NATO.

If it weren't for his benevolent heart, how could the entire Mu family escape this disaster. Although they are just some cronies promoted by Mu Yan at the beginning, they are not really Mu family people, but the connections that Mu Yan has installed for more than 20 years are not all ants, and several people still hold important positions in the court.

It is rumored all over the world that he is open to the Mu family for the sake of the queen, but in fact, he is also benevolent in his heart, so he will treat the Mu family lightly.

Perhaps the only thing in his life that will be criticized by the world is Mu Yunqi's matter, just because his queen is the love of his heart.

Mu Yunqi walked in the dense place of pear trees, some white petals on his head fell on his hair bun, and a team of armored soldiers followed not far behind.

"Miss, could it be that Haoyue Palace has already taken action?" Yingtang whispered, strolling beside her with his head down.

"Do you notice?" Mu Yunqi cautiously looked around.

"There's something wrong in this pear grove, and there's a faint feeling that someone has entered." Yingtang glanced cautiously to the right.

"It seems that the third brother has been rescued." Mu Yunqi remembered Gong Huan's words, after the third brother was successfully replaced, Gong Ran would come to inform.

Under a pear tree that had bloomed with flowers and bones, Gong Ran leaned on the tree, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and looked at the two women who were slowly approaching with a smile on his face.

As soon as he thought of Gong Ran, Mu Yunqi saw the man under the tree in front of him, he seemed to have been waiting for a long time, with a smile on his face and a hint of impatience.

She immediately turned to look at the soldiers behind her, only to see them fall to the ground one after another, their bodies crooked and lying on the ground.

"You're finally here, I don't understand, just such a small place, you can still walk out of the hour of two pillars of incense." Gong Ran walked up to her and complained.

"Sure enough, it was your hands and feet, if you had told me earlier, I would have run over as soon as Gu Hanxuan left." Mu Yunqi raised his voice, his tone was joking.

"If I tell you when the time comes, why wait for you here." Not to be outdone, he replied.

Mu Yunqi didn't want to entangle him with this, and asked, "How is the third brother?" ”

"It's been secretly changed......" Before Gong Ran finished speaking, he saw Gu Hanxuan's body striding forward, and he immediately took Mu Yunqi behind him with one hand and protected her in front of her.

Gu Hanxuan was dressed in black brocade, his sword eyebrows were slightly frowned, his eyes burst out like a sharp sword, and his face was like dusty ice and snow, which made people's hearts tremble.

He sneered twice, the sides of his thin lips hooked upward, his gaze crossed Gong Ran and looked straight at Mu Yunqi, and said, "What am I going to do?" You tell me? The tone was extremely cold.

Mu Yunqi frowned, and looked at him with unbearable eyes.

The sound of orderly steps on the ground was heard, and after a while a large group of soldiers arrived behind him, dressed in plain shoes and holding swords. Standing behind Gu Hanxuan, he looked ahead with a serious face.

"Let's go." Mu Yunqi walked in front of Gong Ran, waved him away, and looked at him solemnly with his eyes, his eyes showing worry.

Looking at the outfits of the soldiers who came, she knew that they had already noticed it, so they were wearing light clothes, and now she was only worried about whether Mu Yunche's side had also been exposed.

"Let's go together today." Gong Ran pulled out the soft sword at his waist and walked in front of her again.

Several white-clothed men seemed to fall from the sky and poured behind them, seeing that the hilt of the sword in their hands must be someone from Haoyue Palace. Their white clothes were hidden in the forest, and the hilts of their swords shone brightly.

Gu Hanxuan looked up to the sky and laughed, his laughter was full of pride and contempt, he stopped laughing and said mockingly: "Is Your Excellency also too confident?" My queen, if you say take it away, you will take it away. After saying that, he snatched the blade from the hand of the soldier beside him and stabbed towards Gong Ran more and more.

Gong Ran smiled disdainfully, and raised his soft sword at him, a fierce sword style, and smooth moves.

Gu Hanxuan quickly stepped forward and pulled Mu Yunqi's wrist, wanting to pull her back to his side, but was blocked by Gong Ran's sword, he bypassed Gu Hanxuan's wrist and swung the sword away, and the two fought together.

Seeing this, the soldiers immediately raised their swords and came towards the man in white in the forest, and the swords collided with each other and made a crisp sound, and the blades shot a dazzling sword light in the sunlight.

The fierce fighting caused the pear trees around them to shake, and the petals flew in the air, falling on them and being shaken to the ground.

It is not difficult to see that the soldiers this time are all people with martial arts, and they do not lag behind in the moves with the masters of the rivers and lakes, and they can deal with them freely.

Yingtang was hesitant at the moment, and he didn't know whether to step forward to help, so he had to follow Mu Yunqi and watch the fight quietly.

Gong Ran put the sword around Gu Hanxuan's back, but before he could swing it and was dodged by Gu Hanxuan, he stabbed the blade of the sword with his head, Gong Ran flew up and jumped, the soft sword reflected the sword light in the sun, and saw that the sword light approached Gu Hanxuan and went towards his chest.

Mu Yunqi's heart tightened, flew behind Gong Ran in a few steps, and swung his fist at him from behind, Gong Ran turned around to dodge, the soft sword went straight up, she turned around to dodge, her palm failed to retract in time, and a hole was cut by the soft sword, and the red blood fell to the ground.

"Xiao Yin...."Gong Ran immediately withdrew the soft sword, looked at her bleeding palm, and looked at her in confusion.

At that moment, he could almost stab the sword into Gu Hanxuan's chest, and then he could take her away, but why did she intervene to save him.

The moment he turned to look at Mu Yunqi, Gu Hanxuan's sword stabbed at him.

"Be careful." Mu Yunqi shouted, holding the bleeding palm with one hand.

Gong Ran spun and jumped, turned around and landed, and saw that his people seemed to have lost the upper hand, and if he continued to fight, he would die here, he whistled, turned his head to look at Mu Yunqi, and led people to retreat from the woods and leave.

The soldiers chased towards the forest, and after chasing a few steps, they were stopped by Gu Hanxuan's shouting, and everyone stood in the forest with each other looking at each other, waiting for orders.

"No need to chase." He glanced at the white-clothed man who had disappeared from the pear forest, turned around and strode away, without looking at Mu Yunqi.

Seeing that Mu Yunqi's palm was still bleeding, Yingtang immediately tore off the corner of the skirt on her body, wrapped her palm, and shouted distressedly: "Miss......"

Mu Yunqi smiled and shook his head, although he wanted to leave Gu Hanxuan, he never wanted to hurt him, let alone hurt him in front of his eyes, after all, he could be regarded as sincere to himself.

"Does the Queen want to wait here for them to come back?" Gu Hanxuan's mocking words came, his eyes squinting.

She looked down at the blood stains dripping from the petals on the ground, the bright red blood smeared on the white petals, which stood out in the white vastness.

She froze in place and walked towards him.
