At the end of the night, several roosters crowed in the distance.

Chu Xuan led Chu Mo and Zhen Rumeng to flee all night, until dawn, and finally got farther and farther away from Kyoto, but he didn't know where he had escaped.

Looking ahead, I saw a few houses in front of me, dilapidated, with a flag at the gate with the word 'inn' written on it.

Chu Xuan froze, such a coincidence, isn't this the black shop that saved Su Xintang that day? He pushed open the door and walked in, there were cobwebs all over it, except for some tables, chairs and benches, there was not even a single figure, presumably the three brothers were scared by themselves last time, and they had already left here.

Zhen Rumeng gently put Chu Mo on his back on a bamboo chair. At this time, Chu Mo was on the verge of dying, his pulse was gradually fainting, his eyes were half-closed, and there was only qi coming out, not incoming qi.

After a while, Chu Mo suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Chu Xuan and Zhen Rumeng in front of him as if he was returning to the light, and asked, "Where am I?"

Zhen Ru dreamed that he could speak, and said happily: "Father-in-law, we escaped from the capital and were saved." You just have to recuperate in peace, and when the time comes, your daughter will protect you and kill you back, and punish all those rebellious clans!"

Chu Mo listened to her words, but shook his head with difficulty, and said, "I... No, you shouldn't have saved me at that time, it would have hurt you. ”

"No, father-in-law, you will recover from your injuries well. Zhen Rumeng sobbed in a low voice.

Looking at the crying Zhen Rumeng, Chu Mo couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that in the end, the person who is most loyal to me will be you." ”

"And you... Lin Xuan, I don't understand, why do you want to save me?" Chu Mo turned his head to Chu Xuan and asked with a faint breath.

Chu Xuan was silent for a moment, and said lightly: "Because, I want you to die in my hands." ”

"Lin Xuan, what do you mean, even you want to betray your father-in-law?" Zhen Rumeng looked at him in disbelief.

At this time, Chu Xuan had no need to hide his identity, and slowly briefly told him how he fell off the cliff in the first place, how he was brought to Nanjianmen by Li Shouyi, and how he finally returned to Zhou State.

"Got it, got it. After listening to him, Chu Mo said in a bitter voice: "Let's do it, nephew Xuan, it is better to hand over Uncle Huang's life to you than to hand it over to your own son." ”

"Lin Xuan, you dare to hurt half a hair of your father-in-law, I, I'll follow you... Never die!" Zhen Rumeng stretched out his hand to block in front of Chu Mo, wanting to threaten the other party, but he had no confidence.

"I just said, my name is Chu Xuan, not Lin Xuan. ”

Chu Xuan said as he approached Zhen Rumeng. Zhen Rumeng thought that he was going to make a move, but he didn't dodge, only closed his two eyes tightly and left it to him.

"Alas......" Chu Xuan raised a hand and put it down, sighed and said: "Forget it, he won't live today anyway, why should I do it?" And you, Miss Zhen, what kindness does he have to you, you want to protect him like this?"

Zhen Rumeng turned his head to look at Chu Mo behind him, recalled for a long time, and said in a low voice: "If it weren't for my father-in-law, I would have died when I was eighteen years old." ”

Zhen Rumeng began to talk about her life experience, in fact, she told Chu Xuan before that when she was eighteen years old, she was coveted and entangled by her master and master's son in Tianjing Sect, which was not a lie. At that time, Zhen Rumeng fled from the Tianjing Sect angrily because he was humiliated, but he never thought that he would be chased and killed by the entire sect as a traitor all the way.

Later, she fled to the Zhou Kingdom, and was caught by the people of the Tianjing Sect who chased her, and after a torture, she planned to sell her into a brothel in Kyoto, but fortunately met Chu Mo, and bought her from the hands of the Tianjing Sect at a high price and brought her to Jingwangfu for cultivation.

Chu Mo has a life-saving grace for Zhen Rumeng, and in order to repay the favor, Zhen Rumeng has been running around for him all these years, spying on secrets, and sometimes even selling his hue. It can be said that in the depths of Zhen Rumeng's heart, he is actually secretly in love with his father-in-law, but Chu Mo didn't notice it at all, and he didn't mean that to her.

"My father-in-law saved my life, healed my injuries and illnesses, and helped me cultivate and advance to the next level, he is a good person. Zhen Rumeng begged: "Lin... Young Master Chu, the slave family begs you to save him, that is, let the slave family be a cow and a horse, and the slave family is also willing. ”

Chu Xuan turned around and said, "He's a good person, that's just for you." I promised not to kill him, because he wouldn't last a few hours, and besides, I'm not a spiritual doctor, so how can I save him?"

Zhen Rumeng still didn't give up, and continued to plead: "I beg Gongzi to take his father-in-law back to Kyoto, where you can invite a spiritual doctor to heal him." ”

"Ridiculous!" Chu Xuan flicked his sleeves and said coldly: "Who are you and me? He is my enemy, if I don't kill him, I will be merciful, why save him? As for you to be a cow and a horse for me, forget it, I don't need it." ”

Chu Mo on the bamboo chair listened to the two of them talking, coughing non-stop, bleeding from time to time in his mouth, he slowly grabbed one of Zhen Rumeng's hands, and said with difficulty: "Zhen'er, you, have this heart... I know that I can't survive... Today. ”

Immediately after, he let go of his other hand and said to Chu Xuan: "Nephew, this jade seal in my hand is... From you, snatched, and now I take him... Give it back to you. You come... Be the new son of heaven in this big week!"

When Chu Xuan heard this, he was stunned for a while, he didn't know what to say, Chu Mo had fallen to the point where he was today, and he had to say that he was to blame, but to make himself the emperor of the Great Zhou Kingdom, Chu Xuan hesitated.

"Zhen'er, you put my clothes with you... Untie it, I, I want to write an edict to return the throne to my great-nephew......"

Zhen Rumeng wept while obediently untying the silk belt around Chu Mo's waist. Chu Mo tried his best, dipped his fingers in his own blood, and wrote the five small words 'Passed on Chu Xuan' crookedly.

"You're put... Take this silk belt and give it, the forbidden army's... Great, the general, he will understand, I mean......"

Chu Mo said as he spoke, and he died of anger with a tilt of his head.

"Father-in-law!" Zhen Rumeng shouted a few times in succession, and Chu Mo shouldn't either, she immediately burst into tears.

"He's dead. Chu Xuan's voice didn't have any emotion, "Don't cry, let's find a place to bury him first." ”

"Young Master Chu......" Zhen Rumeng cried so much that she turned her head to look at Chu Xuan.

Looking at her pitiful look, Chu Xuan couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted, alas, women are really troublesome things.

"Okay, I'll help you. ”

...

The two worked together to bury Chu Mo in a vacant lot in the deserted suburbs, but it was a pity that Chu Mo's generation of heroes was hastily buried in the soil after his death, and he didn't even have a coffin.

"Miss Zhen, what are you going to do next?" After burying Chu Mo, Chu Xuan asked Zhen Rumeng.

Zhen Rumeng replied without hesitation: "My father-in-law said before his death that he would pass on the throne to Gongzi, and Zhen'er would help him fulfill his last wish and make Gongzi the emperor of the Great Zhou!"

"Are you serious?" Chu Xuan looked at her suspiciously.

Now that the whole of Kyoto is controlled by Chu Dan and Xue Wuchang's people, even if he holds a jade seal in his hand, what can he do? Chu Xuan didn't believe that a piece of jade seal could make much of a difference.

Zhen Rumeng said to Chu Xuan with great confidence: "This Da Zhou was originally Gongzi's, as long as Gongzi wants it, he will definitely get it back!"
