Chapter 12: Silent Night Talk

"Hmm!" Mu Mo covered his stomach, and it was grunting uncontrollably.

Sikong Heng sighed lightly, shouted Chi Lu to come, let the four dishes and one soup be served again, light the fuel lamp again, put on ordinary deep clothes, retreat left and right, and sit at both ends of the case with Mu Wu, separated by the fragrance of magnolia flowers, and moved chopsticks to Mu Wu to pick vegetables.

Mu Yu's eyes rolled, and when he saw Sikong Heng take a bite, he started with confidence and devoured it.

Sikong Heng glanced at her: "At a young age, I have a lot of thoughts, but I am used to tossing people." ”

Mu was silent, muttering in his heart, if you put on a Hongmen banquet without explaining the reason, you will torture people, right?

Sikong Heng casually took a few bites of food and said, "Ordinary food, you can eat at ease." Fang Cai's meals have been distributed to the officers and soldiers in the army, as well as to the boys and homeless people, so you don't have to worry about them. ”

Mu Mo buried his head in eating, peeking at Sikong Heng. At the moment, he was only wearing a thin obscene clothes, a white dark coat on the outside, his eyes were a little lazy and tired, and when his mind moved, he tentatively asked, "Can you ...... I want to ask you something? ”

Sikong Heng glanced at her, neither spoke nor kept chopsticks, only signaled her to speak.

Mu Mo blinked: "I want to go see my friends......"

"No", Sikong Heng took a bite of food without raising his head, "I don't think you know how dangerous the situation is." ”

"Again!" Mu Yu pouted dissatisfied, pulled the food, and thought about how to save the beggars and help everyone out of the barracks.

Sikong Heng sighed lightly, took two more mouthfuls of food for her, and persuaded each other seriously: "Mu Wu, I know that you want to kill Sikong Dong and avenge your master and the Mo family, do you think I don't want to kill him and avenge my father and princess?" ”

Mu Yu was a little startled, stopped the dishes and chopsticks, and raised his eyes to look at Sikong Heng, it was rare to see him so straightforward.

Sikong Heng looked at Mu Yu and explained seriously: "Sikong Dong has a deep hatred against me, and I want to put him to death just like you." But revenge cannot be based on pride and enthusiasm alone. Think about it, Sikong Dong suppressed the bandit Mo family and framed the prince, it is not the power of one person, up to Luoyang, Kyoto, down to Liangzhou County, the forces behind it are intertwined, if you want to bring down Sikong Dong, you must plan carefully, so, you be patient, don't do reckless things, okay? ”

"You always say these things", Mu Yu frowned, "I admit that you saved my life tonight, and I also admit that it is indeed not easy to kill Sikong Dong." But if you want me to be patient, if you want me to do nothing, how can my master's revenge be avenged?! ”

"Mu Wu", Sikong Heng looked at Mu Wu, "If you are willing to believe, within seven days, I will give you a satisfactory answer." ”

Mu Mo was stunned for a moment, looked at Sikong Heng, and asked for a while, "Then what are you going to do?" ”

"Before I came to Liangzhou, I stayed in Chang'an, and Sikong Yi, the king of Hejian, who was the governor of Qinzhou's military, informed me about the Mo family and wanted to join forces with me to bring down Sikong Dong. I plan to unite with him, with the promise of the Taishou of Xinping County, to borrow troops from the Guanxi nobleman Emperor Fusheng, ask him to send reinforcements, and booby trap Yu Wannian with the Zhou Warriors, and ask Ye Ji to send the Black Shadow Guard to encircle and suppress Sikong Dong. ”

Sikong Heng said, pausing for a moment, "It's just that even if you can kill Yu Wannian and arrest Sikong Dong, you must always be famous in order to calm the tongue from Luoyang, Kyoto to Zhuzhou County, this is the most difficult thing to do." ”

Mu Mo frowned: "I don't understand so many twists and turns!" I only know that Sikong Dong killed the master for no reason and destroyed the Mo family's Bai Xue Valley, so I will kill him to avenge the master and the master! ”

"You!" Sikong Heng sighed, shook his head, and asked Chi Lu to put away the leftover food.

Sikong Heng sat down with Mu Yu facing each other, and after a while, he suddenly spoke: "If you want to avenge your master, it's okay, there is something that needs your help." After the matter is completed, the enmity between your master and my father and my mother and concubine may be avenged. ”

"What's the matter?!" Mu Mo leaned forward, his eyes shining, and he listened with bated breath.

"Since Sikong Dong entered Liangzhou, there have been three rebellions of foreign races in the past year, all because Sikong Dong and the nobles are competing for profit."

Sikong Heng said, "Taking the Yu Wan Nian Di tribe as an example, in the past, each household paid eight liters of grain per mu, four liters to the imperial court, and four liters to Yu Wan Nian, but since Sikong Dong became the master, each household paid eight liters of grain per mu and handed over seven liters to the imperial court, and Yu Wannian only got one liter, and his heart was naturally unhappy; Previously, because of the first emperor's dependence and monopoly in Liangzhou, Sikong Dong did not have a sense of distress, but now that the first emperor has died, the situation in the DPRK and China is turbulent, and Zhou Warriors have come to Liangzhou, Sikong Dong is a little anxious, and I heard that he has reconciled privately with Yu Wannian. ”

"So, what exactly are you trying to say?" Mu Yu interrupted Sikong Heng impatiently.

"The collusion between Sikong Dong and Yu Wannian is the reason why we justifiably killed Yu Wannian and arrested Sikong Dong", Sikong Heng leaned over and looked at Mu Yu, and whispered word by word, "Previously, I heard that in order to prevent the Zhou Warriors from competing with him, Sikong Dong even promised Yu Wannian to reconcile with the three counties of Xiliang, Xiping, and Wuwei to pull out the power of the Zhou Warriors and Liangzhou, but unfortunately there was no real hammer. Tomorrow, it is better for you to go to Xiliang City and secretly observe Yu Wannian's whereabouts to find evidence for later use. ”

"It's as simple as that?" Mu Yu looked at Sikong Heng in disbelief.

"If this matter is done, there may be seven or eight chances of winning by overthrowing Sikong Dong." Sikong Heng said frankly.

"Okay!" Mu Mo immediately decided, "Then I promise you!" Leave as soon as dawn is up. ”

Sleepless all night, when the sky broke slightly, Sikong Heng ordered Chi Lu to protect Mu Yu and quietly leave the barracks.

Mu Mo asked tentatively: "Can you let me meet with the beggar gang and report their safety?" ”

Chi Lu persuaded politely: "Girl, I advise you not to bother with those thoughts. The place where they were held was guarded by the people of the prince of Dong, and it was really difficult to let strangers in. The girl is at ease, the prince promises a thousand gold, and will protect them well. ”

When Mu Yu heard this, he pursed his lips in dissatisfaction, thinking to himself, he was really exactly the same as his master.

Out of the Sikong Dong Barracks, Xiliang City and Sikong Dong Barracks are only separated by a not very deep Xiliang River.

Because of the long-term confrontation, hundreds of people died in the battle between the two sides, plus refugees who fled famine, starved to death, and died in attack, and all the corpses were piled up on the Xiliang River, almost forming a human bridge. It was not difficult for Mu Yu to climb from the human bridge to the other side, but the gate of Xiliang City was closed, and the city gate was a hundred feet high, and he could no longer see the scene in the city.

Mu Yu shook around Xiliang City twice, feeling that he had no idea where to start, and retreated to the south side of Xiliang River.

After thinking about it for a while, he first went to the beggar gang in Bugu Mountain, and planned to ask for help from the Shen Banxian people who stayed behind, but unexpectedly, Shen Banxian and Lu Te Luliu in his custody were no longer there, so he had to climb up to the other side of the Xiliang River from the other side of Bugu Mountain and look towards Xiliang City. However, it was too far away, and I could only vaguely see a rough idea, and I couldn't see the movement in the city clearly.

At this moment, Mu Mo suddenly thought of the method that her master taught her to make a telescope, so she found some milky white crystals from the mountain, polished the flint and steel brought from Sikong Heng, put dry grass on the shelf, lit the flames, and fired two pieces of glaze, one concave and one convex, and adjusted the concave and convex glazed stones in front of her, and the scene in the city on the other side of the river was clearly presented in front of her.

Mu Mo checked the situation in the city, and at the same time silently remembered in his heart, suddenly, a familiar fat figure swayed into the glass mirror, Sikong Dong described it as sneaky, and disappeared into a teahouse with a person dressed as a Di tribe.

Mu Yu's heart tightened, and he hurriedly moved the glass mirror up.
