Volume 3 Hundred Tribulations: Mo Liansheng Volume 43 Fishing in troubled waters
After Liu Qiao inquired about the news from the capital and returned to the inn, he went to Mo Liansheng's room, and Xuan Li also came over to discuss what had happened in the capital in the past six months.
Since the prince Long Junchi brought back a graceful and beautiful woman Chu Yiyi from Yuzhou City, he spent every day drinking, he used his private power to copy the Mo family, thinking that he had done a good thing, and became more and more wanton and arrogant in the capital, entering and leaving the flower building, secretly building a money workshop, robbing the people's daughters, raising prostitutes privately, countless beautiful women and men in the house, doing everything, his name of flowers has already spread all over the world, if it were not for the support of the family behind him, everyone would want to kick Long Junchi.
However, Chu Yiyi followed Long Jun late to the capital, and she had no name from beginning to end, just as a concubine, she was also sad in her heart, but she was young and had to face open guns and hidden arrows.
People are no longer the people they used to be, and when the ink stains the heart lake, they have long been unrecognizable, and they can only say "those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black".
Long Junchi didn't care about the reputation at all, but there were complaints among the people, helpless, he seemed to spend all his time drinking, ignoring the prince's throne, just a profligate, profligate, and also provoked the dissatisfaction of the ministers of the court, Long Junchi was also assassinated, but they all avoided one by one, safe and sound, which made people angry, folk rumors that he was the reincarnation of the mandate of heaven, because of this, the emperor of the current Ci'ang country also favored him, but the prince and others have regarded him as a thorn in the side, and want to get rid of him quickly.
Even Liu Qiao whispered: "This prince is really fateful, so suspicious, he has survived every time." Liu Qiao said lightly, and many people longed for Long Jun's late death.
Thinking silently, Mo Liansheng was puzzled: "Obviously, Long Junchi is the enemy of everyone, why can't we form an alliance with them?" ”
"Long Junchi is a prince, not an ordinary person, secretly not a good name, and his talent on the surface makes people feel good. We connected the matter of Yuzhou City, strung together his evil deeds in the past few years, and through the hands of the prince, we were able to disintegrate him, and there was still a fuse missing. Xuan Li said.
Xuan Li got up and walked to the window and pushed the window open slightly, looking at the window upstairs, there was a lot of traffic outside the inn, and the lively team was performing in the street to celebrate.
A fast horse rushed through the crowd, the black messenger galloped to the palace to deliver urgent letters, the twilight was heavy, and the sound of a chime bell not far from the south made Xuan Li suddenly look up at the abbot of the temple, at this time the festival had not stopped, but the bell was very abnormal.
Xuan Li turned his head to look at Liu Qiao and asked, "Liu Qiao, can you find out where the prince is today?" In which direction will the pujas of the monks of the two kingdoms of Yang Xia and Tzu Ang be held? ”
"Today, the crown prince is presiding over the puja on behalf of the emperor, and he should be with the monks of the two countries, in Nan'an Temple, in that direction. Prince Xuanli, is there anything wrong? Liu Qiao was puzzled, and got up to point out the direction for Xuan Li, which was the place where he was looking.
"Maybe something big has happened," Xuan Li groaned, and immediately pulled up Mo Liansheng, and he said to Liu Qiao: "I will go over with Liansheng first and meet at Nan'an Temple." He picked up Mo Liansheng, covered Mo Liansheng's eyes, flew out of the window, flew out of the wall, flew like a wall, very light, crossed the street in a few steps, jumped to another house, Mo Liansheng shouted in surprise, and did not understand the meaning of Xuan Li.
Liu Qiao saw that Xuan Li took Mo Liansheng to Nan'an Temple in a hurry, and he was about to fly over, and he also wanted to go with them, but it was a pity that Xuan Li only favored Mo Liansheng alone, and if he didn't take him with him, he had to run over by himself.
Seeing Xuan Li flying away with Mo Liansheng in his arms, he muttered: "Prince Xuan Li is too aggressive, so anxious, could it be that something happened?" If the son is with him, nothing will happen, so I can rest assured. ”
Flying eaves and walking on the wall, Ling Bo walked lightly, Xuan Li hugged Mo Liansheng with one hand, covering his eyes, very brisk, Mo Liansheng asked innocently: "What are you doing to cover my eyes?" Could it be that I'm afraid of heights? ”
Xuan Li smiled slightly: "I'm afraid you won't be able to react, so don't be optimistic." ”
"I'd like to see it."
Mo Liansheng broke Xuan Li's hand, saw the volley of land under his feet, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but hug Xuan Li tightly, and it took a moment to ease up.
He asked, "What are we going to Nan'an Temple for?" Could it be that the prince will be killed in Nan'an Temple, and we have to go to save him? ”
"You really guessed that we are going to save the person you will be loyal to in the future, and if you can help at this time, he will definitely favor you, why not? In fact, there is a turmoil in the capital of Ci'ang Kingdom, I just went out for a walk, and I also feel that the wind and clouds are surging, and the envoy of Yangxia Kingdom does not live in the post station, but in our inn, you should have seen him. Xuan Li said, in detail.
"How do you know I've seen someone? He is an envoy of the Yang Xia Kingdom? Mo Lian was shocked.
"How can I not know, it's just that the envoy of the Yang Xia Kingdom may have noticed something, so he stayed here. You listen to me, the capital of Ci'ang is very dangerous, the dark tide is surging, there are many unknown dangers, in the royal family, assassination and distress are commonplace, they are always on guard, so I saw a quick and urgent letter, when I heard the unusual bell of Nan'an Temple, I knew that danger is coming, your opportunity is coming. Although you don't want to get involved in royal affairs, if you don't take this as an opportunity, it will be difficult to turn over, I won't let Liansheng put you in danger, I will do dangerous and unpleasant things for you, just ...... Make amends. ”
It is rare for Xuan Li to say a lot, but there is some nonsense, Mo Liansheng looked at Xuan Li in a daze, doubtful, did not ask, just snuggled in Xuan Li's arms, and a shallow smile bloomed at the corner of Liansheng's lips, bright like a spring flower.
Flying step by step, Xuan Li carried Mo Liansheng very briskly to the slope of Nan'an Temple, where they had seen that Nan'an Temple had become a mess.
Groups of assassins who suddenly broke in went on a killing spree in the quiet and peaceful Nan'an Temple, killing some helpless monks and civilians, indiscriminately killing innocents.
The Imperial Forest Army led by the prince who guarded here was not found in time, with heavy casualties, the Royal Forest Army urgently transferred the army, but the reinforcements were not seen for a long time, the monks of the Yangxia Kingdom and the Ci'ang Kingdom had some martial arts, and they resisted, after all, they were defeated by the ruthlessness of the killers, they retreated to the main hall, and there were some scattered monks hiding elsewhere, not daring to respond to the enemy, the prince led the crowd to form three lines of defense has broken two, if the last line of defense is broken, everyone in the Nan'an Temple will die.
At this time, there was no room to think much about where these people came from, and there were not many people in the prince's ranks, so they could only reluctantly resist.
On the hillside, before Xuan Li entered Nan'an Temple, he instructed Mo Liansheng: "Liansheng, don't walk around, just stay here and wait for me to come back." ”
"Uh-huh, Xuanlang, you must be careful! Don't worry too much about me, I'm not that stupid. Mo Liansheng responded.
Xuan Li only smiled lightly, and he flew into the Nan'an Temple to start cleaning up the sudden assassins, his martial arts are strong, and his body is superb, even if he does not use the Mingkong Sword, he can match ten thousand people.
When cleaning up the assassins in the Nan'an Temple, Mo Liansheng was afraid that he would be targeted by the assassins, he slipped down the hillside, and entered the Nan'an Temple through the side gate, the blood in the Nan'an Temple flowed into a river, and the blood and snow melted together, which was even more terrifying, and there was no more stability and peace that a temple should have, and he was very afraid when he saw the blood discomfort.
Mo Liansheng is also a powerless person, he is not like Xuan Li general martial arts, has the power of ten thousand jun, but he observes from a high place, he can see more clearly than others, he has an amazing memory, he has already written down the assassin's movements and hiding places, if he can help some and inform these situations, he is not a useless person.
After only a few steps, a group of people walked towards this side, and the rough voice was so loud that Mo Liansheng trembled and didn't dare to move.
I saw a handsome man in bloody clothes holding a sword and leading a few soldiers in armor, with a sad face, distressed by the assassins who had entered the Nan'an Temple, they approached and saw Mo Liansheng standing alone in place trembling, thinking that it was a lonely monk of the Nan'an Temple, with nowhere to hide.
The handsome man looked at Mo Liansheng and said softly: "This is not a place for you to stay for a long time, go along this road and hide in the main hall, you may be fine, it is very dangerous outside, don't run around." ”
Mo Liansheng suppressed his panic, he was a weak scholar, and dared to speak: "Thank you...... I...... I saw the whereabouts of the Assassins on the hillside just now, I know where they are hiding, they are taken by surprise, we must attack them unprepared, the situation is urgent, can we ..... Allow me to show you the way? ”
He didn't know that his words were amazing, and they were eye-catching.
Junzi looked down, he didn't want the weak to take risks for him, he couldn't help but see Mo Liansheng weak, and he didn't know the truth of his words, so he didn't dare to take risks easily.
The others were anxious and dissuaded Junzi from trying, Mo Liansheng said: "The reinforcements have not arrived, if we don't act quickly, we don't know how long we can last, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows, he will definitely give it a try." ”
"Hmm."
Toshiko finally agreed, he summoned the Royal Forest Army that could be mobilized to attack in the Nan'an Temple, there were about a dozen or so people, all of them were elite soldiers, led by Mo Liansheng, they bypassed the defenses, those assassins didn't even find out, Junzi asked Mo Liansheng's name, he only said his law name Shanchen, but his every move now is no longer the appearance of a monk.
Junzi snorted lightly: "You're not this monk, are you?" ”
"Let Your Excellency smile, I was originally a monk in Fuwei Temple, and now I am still vulgar, ready to take root in the capital."
Toshiko asked, "Something happened to Nan'an Temple, why are you here?" More insight than anyone else? He was suspicious and didn't dare to believe Mo Liansheng fully.
"Truth be told, I was joined by a friend of mine, who was a skilled martial artist and had already gone to eliminate the Assassins, and I was no match for him, only aware of the Assassins' hiding place. When you arrive, you will be able to capture the Assassins, leave them alive, and ask them where they came from, and see who dares to disrupt the festival at such a time and hurt His Royal Highness the Prince. Mo Liansheng said, very open, not to go with others, Junzi had to pull him along, Mo Liansheng had no choice but to join them.
As Mo Liansheng expected, a large number of assassins gathered in the hidden place here, ready to launch a second round of attacks, capture Nan'an Temple, and completely strangle the people inside.
Most of those assassins were killed, and they were defeated by the concerted Imperial Foresters, and they caught the live assassins but committed suicide by poisoning, and they were loyal to the Lord.
An assassin saw Mo Liansheng in the corner, turned over and jumped over the Imperial Forest Army and stabbed at the lonely Mo Liansheng, Liansheng froze, unable to move, thinking that his death was approaching, he was terrified, and only thought of Xuan Li alone in his mind, and his lips couldn't help but read softly.
