Chapter 22: Undercurrents
"I didn't think about it." Mu Yu replied vaguely, and his heart was also very irritable. At present, the whereabouts of the Ming ghost are still unknown, but Sikong Dong was rescued by the people of Luoyang and returned to the dynasty, not only did the difficulty of revenge double, but the recovery of the Mo family was even more unfounded.
If you leave Sikong Heng, how should you avenge your master and avenge your master?
"Mu Yu", Sikong Heng paused, "You want to recover the Mo family and avenge the master, I also have my ambitions." If you stay, I promise you that one day, the Valley of White Shallots will be restored to its original state. ”
Sikong Heng's words were very straightforward, but his tone was calm.
Mu Yu thought of the determination in his eyes when he said that he would no longer look for his parents' corpses, and then recalled that since he met him in the night raid on the military camp, he really didn't do anything to hurt himself. On the contrary, postpone the trial, let Hou Fuluo go, ensure his safety, and bring down Sikong Dong, everything is what he wants.
But even if he is really reliable, he always doesn't want to have anything to do with the people in the court.
Thinking like this, Mu Mo felt a little irritable in his heart and turned over.
"Lord Wang!" Chi Lu's voice broke the stalemate in the camp.
Sikong Heng paused and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"Yu Qianyi ran away!" Chi Lu's anxious voice came from the door.
Sikong Heng was alert when he heard the sound, and immediately got up, lit a match, and was about to go out quietly.
"Don't go out!" Mu Yu called Sikong Heng, lit the oil lamp, put on his clothes and got up, thinking that the wind and frost were cold in the middle of the night, and he couldn't always let Sikong Heng go out to be cold because of himself, so he said, "Ask Chi Lu to come in and discuss, I didn't sleep anyway." ”
"Okay." Sikong Heng was a little surprised, looked at Mu Mo for a moment, and called Chi Lu in.
Chi Lu knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty to Sikong Heng: "Chi Lu should die, let Yu Qianyi run away!" ”
"Don't talk about these useless things, let's talk about what's going on?" Sikong Heng leaned over and asked.
Chi Lu kowtowed and apologized, and said: "Yu Qianyi and Yu Wannian were originally imprisoned together, but tonight's guards patrolled, but found that Yu Qianyi broke free from the shackles of his hands and feet and disappeared, and Yu Wannian and several wives and relatives also had white lips and cold faces, and lost their breath. ”
"I checked the food for more than 10,000 years at night, and found that there was a lot of arsenic, and the soldiers who delivered the food at night had crashed into the pillar and died, and the guards who guarded it insisted that they slept tonight for no reason, and they didn't know anything about it, so I checked their diet and clothes, and indeed found the sweat medicine in their drinks, but still led people to arrest them all, waiting for the prince to show them."
"Yu Wannian is dead?" Sikong Heng's cold eyes narrowed slightly, thought for a moment, and suddenly sneered.
"There's no need to check", Sikong Heng told Chi Lu, "Yu Wannian died and Yu Qianyi ran, it must be to protect Sikong Dong." Yu Wannian's detention and care are rigorous, and he is careful in his diet and daily life, so he can start with such a tight fit, and there is no proof that the person concerned is dead, so he is definitely not an outsider. I'm afraid that some people are not very happy when they see me entering Liangzhou, and they want to teach me a lesson. ”
"But Zhou Yan and Lu Bu are eager for Yu Wannian to be unlucky soon, so as to relieve their anger and hatred, who in the military camp would want to protect Sikong Dong? Besides, Yu Wannian died and Yu Qianyi ran, why was he able to keep Sikong Dong? Mu asked puzzled.
"Zhou Warriors hate Yu Wannian, but Lu Bu doesn't see it. Liangzhou has been in office for ten years, who knows how many interests are involved? If anyone is worried that I am supervising the military of Liangzhou, Lu Bu has a motive than Sikong Dong, who has only supervised Liangzhou for one year. ”
Sikong Heng said, and fell into contemplation again: "But why didn't the person who did it simply kill Yu Qianyi together?" As soon as Yu Wannian died, there was no evidence of Sikong Dong's collusion with Yu Wannian, but Yu Qianyi was alive, and Sikong Dong was still in danger. Who would kill Yu Wannian and let Yu Qianyi go? After Yu Qianyi escapes, where can he go? ”
"Do you want to ask Yang Qi?" Mu Yu offered advice to Sikong Heng, "He followed Sikong Dong for a while, and he was interested in learning about Sikong Dong's unknown secret residence. If this matter is really related to Sikong Dong, the hiding place cannot be separated from it. ”
"I'm afraid that the people who killed Yu Wannian and the people who let Yu Qianyi go are not the same people."
Sikong Heng was silent for a long time, and then ordered Chi Lu, "You are optimistic about Sikong Dong, let Ye Ji take people to the Cuckoo Mountain, and quietly go to find Yu Qianyi." The guards who guarded Yu Wannian's father and son tonight were all quietly brought; Don't tell anyone about tonight's events. ”
"I'll go to Cuckoo Mountain to help you find it!" Mu Mo volunteered, "I am most familiar with Cuckoo Mountain. ”
Sikong Heng looked at Mu Yu for a long time: "Then be careful." ”
After that, everyone acted separately, Ye Ji took three or five black shadow guards to merge with Mu Wu, a tomb-like dull face looked at Mu Wu with disgust, and teased coldly: "What kind of hospitality do you offer for no reason, don't you want to take advantage of the mountain to make a bad pit and harm the prince, right?" ”
"I know that you see that I am dissatisfied, and I don't want to be with you!"
Mu Yu raised his head and replied, threw off the Ye Halberd and went to the mountain alone, but was dragged into his arms by the Ye Halberd.
"If you make a mistake, I can't afford it!" Ye Ji viciously grabbed Mu Yu and warned, "For the sake of you, the prince would rather take the risk of turning around, and also send Chi Lu to secretly obstruct Lu Bu from recovering Hou Fuluo, for this reason, he was almost slandered by Sikong Dong and colluded with foreign races to rebel." If I let you have three long and two short, even if you die ten thousand times, it will not be enough to make amends. ”
"You said he sent Chi Lu to obstruct Lu Bu from recovering Hou Fuluo?" Mu Yu was startled.
Previously, Sikong Heng even blamed her for letting Hou Fuluo go without permission, but he didn't expect to do such a thing afterwards.
"What do you think?!" Ye Ji's disgusting eyes looked back and forth on Mu Yu's body, and frowned, "I really don't know what the prince likes about you, and I'd rather take such a big risk for you." Because of Hou Fuluo's matter, the excerpts of the prince were handed to Luoyang from all directions, but fortunately, the prince was thorough from it, and General Zhou was on the side to corroborate it, so that there was finally no danger. Otherwise, not to mention that Liangzhou's hard work will be in vain, even the prince himself will end up with the capital crime of the nine clans! ”
"Is it that serious?" Mu Yu was a little surprised, although Sikong Heng emphasized several times that the situation in Liangzhou was complicated, and the slightest carelessness would lead to a catastrophe, but he never thought that it would be so serious that it would affect the nine clans.
"Is it that serious?!" Ye Ji sneered twice, with a mocking expression that Mu Yu didn't know what to do.
"If there is no prince secretly in charge, do you think that just by making such a fuss with you, Hou Fuluo can easily get out? Before the prince acted that night, he had told Chi Lu thousands of times to ensure your safety no matter what situation he encountered. He even talked to Lu Bu about the conditions for being in charge of Liangzhou for you, and asked him to stop chasing Hou Fuluo, but you didn't take his contribution to heart at all! Ye Ji said, glared at Mu Mo again, and dragged her to the Cuckoo Mountain.
