Unlike Chu Xuan, who can survive the tribulation in one day, Chu Mo does not have a single hidden vein in his body, so this retreat, there is no ten days and eight days that will not succeed, and if one is not done well, he will die. It was also for this reason that many forces in Kyoto were ready to stir up for a while.

Chu Mo naturally expected this before the retreat, so he transferred Xue Wuchang, the commander of the Shadow Guard, back to Kyoto from the border pass early, and ordered him to guard the imperial city and supervise the hundred officials.

According to Chu Mo's previous orders, Lei Wei's guards were only responsible for patrolling during the day, and the patrols at night were handed over to the other guards.

On the eighth day of Chu Mo's retreat, in the evening of that day, Chu Xuan and other members of the Lei Wei had finished their inspection and were about to leave the imperial city. Suddenly, more than 100 eunuchs ran towards everyone in a panic, shouting loudly as they ran:

"Oh no, no, I don't know what's going on, the corner tower in the northwest of the imperial city suddenly caught fire, and the fire has spread to many palaces. Why don't you gather people quickly and go to help put out the fire!"

The fire in the imperial city was a major event, and when several deputy commanders of Lei Wei heard this, they immediately led their subordinates there.

The commander Zhen Rumeng hurriedly stopped: "Don't be impulsive, this fire can't be sooner or later, but from this time on, it is likely that some ill-intentioned people are making the tiger move away from the mountain, let's wait for the other guards to come over to take over, and then it's not too late to put out the fire." ”

Chu Xuan said in his heart, he was worthy of being the leader of Lei Wei who was relied on by Chu Mo, and he was really thoughtful. In fact, what he thought in his heart was similar to what the other party said.

Seeing this, the eunuchs at the head hurriedly said: "Don't wait, the other guards won't come to take over at all, they have already gone to put out the fire, only you Lei Wei are still stupidly staying here." You don't know how big the fire is, maybe the whole imperial city will be burned in half!"

"Then you can't go, the imperial city can be rebuilt after it burns down, if something goes wrong with Your Majesty's crossing, who can be responsible?"

Lei Wei's words convinced everyone, and naturally no one objected.

Seeing that the persuasion was fruitless, the eunuchs suddenly tore open their palace clothes, took out their swords from their arms, and killed everyone without saying a word.

"Heh, there's really a deception! Don't talk about killing!" Zhen Rumeng sneered and ordered everyone to fight.

The cultivation of this group of eunuchs is almost the same as that of Lei Wei and the others, but they are inferior to Lei Wei in terms of numbers. The two sides fought fiercely for a long time, and the eunuchs saw that they could not defeat each other, so they fought and retreated, leaving behind more than a dozen corpses, while the rest fled the imperial city.

The Lei Wei did not dare to pursue rashly, so they stopped to carefully identify the corpse of the eunuch on the ground, and suddenly someone said: "Great Commander, I know these people, there are Feng Wei and Electric Guard! A few days ago, his subordinates were gambling with them for money. ”

Zhen Rumeng was taken aback and hurriedly said: "It seems that there is a spy among the guards, and Your Majesty is in danger! Everyone follow me to the back mountain to escort you, I am afraid that Your Majesty's robbery there has been leaked!"

It turned out that Chu Mo was hiding in a cave in the mountain behind the imperial city. The Lei Wei didn't care about the rules at this time, and they all ran their methods and rushed desperately to the mountains behind the imperial city.

The mountain behind the imperial city, isn't that the place where he fell off the cliff in the first place? Chu Xuan hesitated for a moment, but decided to go with everyone.

...

When the Lei guards came to the retreat of Chumo in the back mountain, it was already completely dark, and there were already more than a thousand shadow guards outside the cave, guarding the surroundings with torches.

The first man, who looked to be about twenty years old, wore an official hat, a first-class official uniform, and a long knife at his waist. Eagle eyes and hooked nose, tall figure, and gestures, exuding a chilling murderous aura. This person is none other than the Shadow Guard Commander - Xue Wuchang.

"Sister Zhen, why are you here? Aren't you Lei Wei in charge of inspecting the Imperial City?" Xue Wuchang spoke coldly to everyone, except for Zhen Rumeng. It seems that the relationship between the two is very unusual.

Zhen Rumeng didn't give him a good face, and said lightly: "Someone set fire to the northwest corner of the imperial city, and I was worried that something would happen to my father-in-law, so I brought someone over to take a look." ”

It turned out that Chu Mo was also her father-in-law, well, Chu Xuan said secretly, could it be that he had misunderstood her before? She and Leng Er may not be the same kind of people.

Xue Wuchang said with a smile: "My father-in-law is protecting my brother, and the strength of our shadow guard, Sister Zhen, can you still believe it?" I think you Lei Wei is still important to fight fires." ”

Chu Xuan stood among the guards and carefully looked at the people of the shadow guard, most of these people were cultivators above the Xiaotian Spirit Realm, it was difficult to say elsewhere, at least in this Zhou Kingdom, it was indeed a top force.

"Don't you know what the purpose of setting fire to those people is?" asked Zhen Rumeng.

"Yes. Xue Wuchang touched his nose and pretended to be deep: "How much of this big Zhou matter does our shadow guard not know?"

"I know you still let me go!" Zhen Rumeng said angrily.

Xue Wuchang reached out to touch Zhen Rumeng's face, but was pushed away by Zhen Rumeng. He wasn't annoyed, and said slowly: "What's the hurry, the good show is ahead, Zhen Mei just watch it with her eyes wide open." ”

Zhen Rumeng couldn't, so he had to take Lei Wei's people to guard the cave with the shadow guard.

After a few hours, suddenly a large group of men and horses with torches in their hands shouted loudly and slaughtered towards the back mountain, looking from afar, like a long dragon.

The sound of the other party's killing was shocking, and the number of people was only afraid that it would not be less than tens of thousands, and the loudness of the voice alarmed Chu Mo, who was in retreat.

Chu Mo retreated in the cave for eight days, and endured the pain of thunder and lightning every day, almost not torturing him to death. Fortunately, he was lucky, today's heavenly punishment finally ended, and he finally picked up a life to get out, not as unlucky as Chu Xuan's father at the beginning.

"Impermanence, what's going on out there? Why is it so noisy. Chu Mo limped out of the cave and asked weakly.

Although Chu Mo successfully survived the heavenly punishment, his body was the weakest at this time, and he needed at least half a month to recuperate before he could recover his vitality.

"Back to my father's words, the prince took advantage of your retreat to lead a group of rebels and have already entered the imperial city. Xue Wuchang replied respectfully.

"What? This rebel! I knew that he would not be able to hold it back! I was afraid that I would succeed in this crossing, and my longevity would increase!" Chu Mo gritted his teeth and said.

The lifespan of a monk does increase with the ascension of the realm, and generally speaking, a monk who has survived a heavenly punishment will have at least one hundred and fifty years of life. For more than 200 years since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, except for the first emperor, the successors of the follow-up have almost no successes.

Xue Wuchang appeased Chu Mo, and then asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to edict the third prince to enter King Qin?"

Chu Mo was puzzled: "Why did you call Dan'er to save the driver? Aren't there still hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops in Kyoto?"

"Your Majesty doesn't know, there was a fire in the imperial city tonight, and most of the forbidden troops were deceived by the prince to put out the fire. Your Majesty should know that some generals in the forbidden army have always had a good relationship with the crown prince, and this time they deliberately set fires, and then led the army to put out the fire, maybe it was the prince's instructions. ”

"I, I'm going to slaughter this rebel with my own hands!" Chu Mo was furious, and he coughed incessantly.

Zhen Rumeng hurriedly said: "Father-in-law must take care of the dragon's body! According to his daughter's opinion, his father-in-law should first give the third prince a holy decree, and then find a safe place to avoid the disaster." ”

Chu Mo felt justified and nodded in agreement. Xue Wuchang immediately asked people to present the prepared pen, ink, paper, and inkstone to him. It seems that Xue Wuchang had already expected such a day.

At this time, Chu Mo also felt that something was wrong, and asked tentatively: "Impermanence, did you already know about it?"

"Father-in-law, please rest assured, His Royal Highness the Third Prince has seen everything and has long been aware of the prince's wolf ambitions. Two days ago, His Royal Highness led 100,000 border troops and secretly ambushed them in Kyoto, waiting for a holy decree from his father-in-law, and His Highness would lead the army to kill and bring the prince and a group of rebels to justice. ”

"What's the matter, didn't the military department say a few days ago that the border army had lost the battle and the whole army was wiped out......?

Hearing this, Chu Mo didn't understand, not only did the crown prince Chu Bai plan to force the palace, but his three princes, Chu Dan, actually meant the same thing, but Chu Dan was smarter than Chu Bai and chose to strike later.

As for the battle report that came before, hundreds of thousands of border troops were defeated by Beiliang and Western Qin, I am afraid that it is also a false news deliberately sent by the three princes and Xue Wuchang, for the sake of this ** palace.

"Impermanence, I can't imagine that even you will betray me, you and Dan'er are really calculating, calculating. ”

Chu Mo sighed, and dejectedly picked up the pen and wrote the holy decree. The situation is out of control, if he dares to say half a word, he is afraid that Xue Wuchang will kill him on the spot, and he will frame the prince Chubai later.

"Xue Wuchang, what do you mean! Are you forcing the palace?" Zhen Rumeng on the side said hatefully.

"Sister Zhen, in this matter, for my brother, I advise you not to interfere, otherwise it will ......" Xue Wuchang stared at Zhen Rumeng viciously and threatened.
