Day, close to dawn.

When Mu Junwu rode a horse to the front of the medicinal herb shop, only Tang Jiu'er was standing there alone and on a horse.

"Poison Master ......"

"How is Linlin?"

"There is no danger to her life, but her appearance is damaged, and she is afraid ...... Scars can be left behind. ”

Tang Jiu'er clenched his fists when he heard this: "You come with me." As she spoke, she kicked the horse's belly lightly, and the horse immediately galloped, followed by Mu Junwu.

Along the way, they rushed towards the outside of the city, and every few tens of meters along the way, one was burned by fire, some had been extinguished and the smoke was dispersed, and some were still raging with tongues of fire.

It was dawn when the two rode out of the city and ran into a wooded field outside the city.

"Dismount!" Suddenly, Tang Jiu'er stopped the horse and tied the horse to the tree next to him, Mu Junwu was a little puzzled, but he did without saying anything.

Tang Jiu'er walked quickly towards the depths of the woodland, and while Mu Junwu followed her, he instinctively looked around very vigilantly.

After the two walked a distance of about ** zhang, Tang Jiu'er stopped, and at the same time, Mu Junwu also saw more than twenty corpses in the woodland in front of him.

They all looked miserable, and scattered on the ground with their hands over their hearts, mingling with the decaying withered grass around them, without a trace of life left.

Mu Junwu walked into this land of corpses with a cold face.

He examined the posture of each corpse, paying attention to their hands, their fingers grabbing, but the corpses were unwound and bloodless.

Mu Junwu was shocked: how did these people die......

"These bastards set fire to innocent people, they all deserve to die." Tang Jiu'er's angry and cold voice made Mu Junwu look back in shock: "Is it your hand?" ”

"I killed it." After Tang Jiu'er answered, he looked at Mu Junwu, and Mu Junwu immediately sighed lightly: "I didn't expect that the poison master's skills are so good, more than 20 people are lying on corpses, but none of them shed blood......"

"It's just poisonous."

A hint of concern flashed in Mu Junwu's eyes: "This poison is ......"

"If you shouldn't know, don't ask." Tang Jiu'er's answer stunned Mu Junwu, and then he lowered his head in embarrassment, thinking to himself: It seems that the pillar and they, as well as Hua Rou's father and mother, should have died of this poison! This poison is so terrifying, the poison owner is reluctant to say it, it should be taboo, but the Killer Pavilion uses this poison to kill people......

"What are you thinking?" Tang Jiu'er stared at Mu Junwu, she could tell what he was thinking.

"I'm thinking...... This fire should be coming at me. ”

"You?"

Mu Junwu squatted in front of the corpse in front of him: "Their tiger mouths have calluses, thick joints, and at first glance, they look like people who have been holding weapons for a long time, although they are all wearing the clothes of homeless, but they are by no means homeless. ”

Hearing this, Tang Jiu'er immediately walked to a corpse carrying an arrow bag, took out an arrow, and handed it to Mu Junwu: "When we escaped, they were firing arrows at us, and I also heard them say that they wanted to take back the arrows and not be found. ”

Mu Junwu looked at the head of the arrow and sighed: "It's the arrow of the Chu State." ”

"Are you sure?"

"The bird pattern on this is the logo of Chu Arrow." Mu Junwu noticed Tang Jiu'er's puzzled expression when he explained, so he asked, "What's the matter, the poison lord has another opinion?" ”

"Do you know who is going to kill you?"

Mu Junwu smiled bitterly: "Of course you are the one who is in power. ”

"He's one, but there's someone else."

"Someone else? Who? ”

"Meng Zhixiang."

Mu Junwu was slightly stunned.

Meng Zhixiang? Meng Zhixiang! How could it be......

Tang Jiu'er looked up at the sky at this time: "I have to go back, you can figure out the matter here!" As he left, he set fire to the corpses so that the remaining poison would not hurt the innocent. There are ......" Tang Jiu'er solemnly asked again: "Please help me take care of Linlin." ”

Mu Junwu nodded thoughtlessly, and Tang Jiu'er left immediately.

So, Mu Junwu stood in front of this corpse, trying to think about this Meng Zhixiang in his memory......

-------

Eight years ago, Luo Jing.

He walked out of the palace gate with a brocade box in his hand, and Feiyun, who had been waiting at the palace gate for a long time, immediately stepped forward to greet him.

"Childe, how's it going?"

"The letter of the capital seal has been paid, the tribute has been paid, and His Majesty has made his father king." When he replied, he was very excited, and he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart.

"Great!" Feiyun waved his fist happily: "After the prince returns home, he will send a message to the king, and the king will be happy!" ”

"This time, there's no need to pass on the book." There was a smile on his face, and he looked at the stunned Feiyun and said softly, "Wouldn't it be better for me to tell my father in person?" ”

Feiyun took a step back in surprise: "What does Childe mean...... You...... You don't have to stay in Luojing as a hostage? ”

He nodded vigorously, then raised his eyes to look around, and sighed a little: "I can't imagine that in my lifetime, I can still leave this splendid cage!" ”

Fei was at this moment, but Feiyun suddenly pulled his sleeve and stared behind him: "Childe......"

He immediately turned around and saw Meng Zhixiang with the ribbon of his official robe, looking at him directly.

He hurriedly handed the brocade box in his hand to Feiyun, and turned around and saluted Meng Zhixiang: "I've seen Lord Yin Meng in Taiyuan!" ”

Meng Zhixiang walked up to him with a smile on his face, straightened him up very closely, and said, "Why do you see the outside world like this and don't call me Uncle Meng?" ”

He smiled and greeted, "Hello Uncle Meng!" ”

"This vassal king proton, there have been few returnees since ancient times, you are really good at it!"

"This is the kindness of Your Majesty and the blessing of your little nephew."

Meng Zhixiang laughed: "Three games of chess, no matter what kind of opening, you can only lose half a game, if I am Your Majesty's ......" Meng Zhixiang almost whispered in his ear: "Even if you break your word, I don't dare to let you go back!" ”

He was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Uncle Meng said that he was joking, you have no jokes, if it is really you, you will do what you say." ”

Meng Zhixiang smiled and nodded frequently, and then patted his shoulder with a loving look: "The future is terrifying, take care!" ”

"Uncle Xie Meng." He hurriedly bowed and saluted, and Meng Zhixiang turned around and left.

"Childe, can you go back to Chu, are you gambling with Emperor Tang?" Seeing that the person was walking away, Feiyun leaned forward and asked him.

"Although I don't want to be in politics, I don't want to be trapped here, since it's a risk-free thing, why not gamble?"

Feiyun frowned and said, "I'm afraid that Emperor Tang will promise to let you go back on his face, and secretly ......"

He smiled, approached Feiyun and bit his ear and said: "Emperor Tang is dressed in a costume, embracing famous people, and playing chess is also very chic and casual, and he has no intention of care, so he will be fine." Then he called to leave, and the two men immediately boarded the carriage.

"Huh?" Feiyun snorted softly, causing him to turn his attention: "What? ”

At this time, not far from the opposite side, Meng Zhixiang's carriage ran away.

"It's nothing, that Taiyuan Yin just now seems to be still looking at you."

He smiled indifferently: "It's not me he's looking at, it's this Luojing Palace, and tomorrow he will leave here to take up a post in Taiyuan." ”

As he spoke, he got into the carriage, and there was only a heart for returning.
