Chapter 19: Tent Confrontation

Mu Mo watched everyone's figures disappear into the night, his strength was exhausted, and as soon as his hands were loosened, he was immediately subdued by Chi Lu.

The woman in the tomb ordered the Sikong Dong people to be detained in a camp, and rode a horse to Chi Lu and teased: "After eight years of acquaintance, there are only a handful of people who can run away from Chi Guards, and now they run a group of people as soon as they run, which is really impressive." ”

Chi Lu's face was ugly, and he could only admit in a soft tone: "It's my dereliction of duty." ”

The tomb girl glanced at Chi Lu coldly: "Dereliction of duty is second, don't be tricked by something, right?" ”

After that, he glared at Mu Yu with dissatisfaction, spurred his horse, and galloped away.

Chi Lu's face turned red for a while, and he was choked by the tomb girl and didn't know how to answer, wanting to explain, but he couldn't speak. froze in place, and after a long time, he took Mu Yu back to Sikong Heng's camp and bandaged her wounds.

In the dim candlelight, Mu Mo saw that there was faint blood oozing from his neck, and then thought of Chi Lu taking care of her diet and daily life for days, he couldn't help but feel guilty, and apologized with a red face: "I'm sorry, today's incident has embarrassed you." ”

Chi Lu looked up and saw Mu Yu looking like he had done something wrong, and couldn't help laughing: "Looking at it now, it looks like an eleven or twelve-year-old child." When I saw that fierce appearance, I thought I was really going to kill me. ”

"With my three-legged cat's kung fu, I know what I can't do with you." Mu Yu pursed his lips, thinking of the night attack on the barracks, Chi Lu led people to take in the beggar gang in an instant, knowing that he did let him go, he was quite grateful, and he was worried that he would not be able to explain to Sikong Heng, so he asked worriedly, "Tonight's matter, if Sikong Heng asks, what will you do?" ”

"Now you know you're worried?" Chi Lu chuckled, "Don't be afraid, if the prince is present, it will be the same for you." ”

"Huh?" Mu Mo looked at Chi Lu with a puzzled expression. Chi Lu looked at her as if she was ignorant of the world, and thought to herself, she was still a child after all, and she didn't want to talk more, so she lowered her head to help her bandage her wounds, and then withdrew to the door of the tent.

Mu Yu was alone in the tent, thinking about everything that happened today, and his heart was particularly confused: before, Sikong Heng had his own words about the changes in the Mo family and the whereabouts of the Langya King and his wife; But from the master's thousand-machine crossbow to the stories seen in the local chronicles of the teahouse, people have to doubt the real relationship between the Mo family and the Langya Palace, and his real purpose of cleaning up Sikong Dong.

Looking at the situation tonight, the tomb girl should be Aunt Sikong Heng and the maidservant of the "Princess Changning" song, Ye Ji, but just listening to her conversation with Sikong Dong, it seems that the local chronicle can't be trusted, and Princess Changning's death has another hidden secret?

In tonight's battle, the pattern of Liangzhou has changed greatly, where will Hou Fuluo and his party go?

Just as he was thinking, he heard footsteps, and the curtain of the tent was lifted.

Sikong Heng wore silver armor and returned tired. His silver armor was stained with deep black earth and dark red blood, shimmering in the moonlight, with the warm scent of a midsummer day. The cold facial features are no longer dusty due to the same mud and blood stains, and there is a smell of fireworks, and the eyebrows and eyes like smoke and rain are tired from being contaminated by many days of running.

He unloaded the sword on his waist with white broken jade on its sheath, scanned the clean tent, and finally cast his gaze on Mu Wu. I've heard Chi Lu say tonight, this girl is not worrying at all.

"Hey!" Mu Yu screamed timidly, still worried about tonight's events.

Sikong Heng took off his armor, sat down next to the desk, and asked, "What's the matter with your arm?" ”

"Hmm......" Mu Yu searched for words in his mind, and twisted his clothes belt in his hand.

"Didn't you stay in the tent all the time, and what did you do outside?" Sikong Heng poured a cup of tea, poured it vertically into his mouth with one hand, drank it all, and glanced at Mu Yu with his eyes.

Mu Yu lowered his head, bit his lip and didn't speak, waiting to be scolded by Sikong Heng.

"It's just willful." Sikong Heng's expression was solemn, and he really asked solemnly, "Why do you want to do this?" ”

Mu Mo bit his lip, hesitated for a while, and whispered: "I don't believe it...... You will let Hou Fuluo go. ”

"Huh?" Sikong Heng's eyes tightened, staring at Mu Yu and asking, "Why?" ”

"Because Hou Fuluo is a descendant of the Yanbei clan and a foreign race that was purged by the imperial court, as a royal clansman, would you let him go so easily?" Mu Mo was full of words, and not to be outdone, he looked directly at Sikong Heng and asked, "Otherwise, since you promised to let Hou Fuluo go after overthrowing Sikong Dong, why do you want Chi Lu to stop them tonight?" ”

"Do you think that Sikong Dong and Yu Wannian are ostensibly imprisoned, even if they are completely controlled?"

Sikong Heng was questioned by Mu Yu, shook his head helplessly, and patiently explained the complicated situation in Liangzhou:

"At the beginning, the key of the Mo family was stolen by Sikong Dong, but his father received a decree from the first emperor that he colluded with the Mo family; Three months ago, just after the death of the first emperor, I received a letter from Sikong Ning, the king of Qin, who was acting as the superintendent of the country, saying that my father had suffered a tragic accident in the peace talks in Liangzhou, and asked me to secretly take my father's coffin home. ”

"Although Uncle Ning Wang is in charge of the country and also takes care of the Langya Palace, all he can do is to ask me to quietly take my father's coffin home, and not mention anything about my father and the Mo family, let alone ask for justice for this matter."

Sikong Heng said, and then moved his gaze to the topographic map of the Jin Song Dynasty, Chang'an County, Qinzhou, which is adjacent to Liangzhou: "When he stayed in the Chang'an Mansion of Sikong Yi, the King of Hejian, he did offer to join forces with me to bring down Sikong Dong, but that was also because Qin and Liang were adjacent to each other, and they competed with Sikong Dong for the northwest power all the year round, so he had to use his father's affairs to bring down Sikong Dong." ”

Sikong Heng said, sighed again, turned to look at Mu Wu, and patiently repeated word by word:

"I have long said that Sikong Dong suppressed the bandit Mo family and framed the prince, it is not a one-man effort, up to Luoyang, Kyoto, down to Liangzhou County, the forces behind it are intertwined, and if you are not careful, you may fall into the abyss of no return. At that time, let alone let Hou Fuluo go, it will be difficult to save your and my lives. Do you really not understand any of these things? ”

"It's these again!" Mu Mo frowned impatiently, "I don't understand these messes, I only know that the affairs of the Mo family are not all as you say, and you want to kill Sikong Dong is also selfish!" Otherwise, your aunt passed away because of my master's difficult birth, why would your father and princess be so good to my master? Why did my master let your family take me in?! ”

"Who do you listen to about these things?" Sikong Heng was stunned.
