The expression of the verbal break is also so firm, without the previous hesitation. The soldier immediately received his order, and without anyone else noticing, he broke away from the group, and quickly sent someone to take his life.

Those masters came to the mountain, followed the footprints and walked in, the soldier also kept taking the head, and a few people came to the mechanism with the bamboo sword just now, and he slowly said: "I won't lead the way in front, you have to be careful of the mechanism." ”

Several people looked at each other and smiled, Shi Shiran walked for a long time, and suddenly I don't know who stepped on a rope, and the rope immediately flew up, and a lot of needles came out of the forest again. The leaves were as thin as needles, not fatal but easily injured, and the smell of blood was removed as soon as they scratched onto the skin.

Several of them did not believe in evil, and used their weapons to block the leaves. When the mechanism stopped, someone complained: "That thief must be a villain, he is so vicious, use this kind of mechanism!" ”

Several other people couldn't help but feel very agreed, but they were also silently relieved in their hearts, and not long after continuing to walk inside, they touched the mechanism again, and they cracked it, but several people suffered a lot of minor injuries. Continue to walk inside, all the way to Gu Changfeng's trap outside.

The morning light was faint, and there was a burst of "white belly" on the horizon, illuminating the sky here. The prince lying on the collapse opened his eyes on time, smelling the smell of the morning and couldn't help but feel very fresh, and his mood was much better.

After preparing everything, he went to the morning court, and happened to meet someone who supported him, so he inquired about it, and after learning about it, the corners of his lips hooked up a successful smile, and he stood on the court, and waited for the arrival of the saint without any words.

"The emperor has arrived, there is something to start, and there is nothing to retreat!" As soon as the emperor sat firmly on the dragon chair, the father-in-law on the side said this sentence in his sharp voice, and the expression on his face was extremely serious.

The prince's eyes glanced at Puyang Haokun, with a somewhat provocative look in his eyes, so he stepped forward to prepare to report it, and said, "Your Majesty, your son has something to do." The four princes of Puyang brutalized the people and burned the entire mountain in the back village, causing hundreds of people to suffer. He didn't say the second half of the sentence, but just repeated this passage exactly as it was in his heart.

Many people in the court have learned about it, but they didn't expect this prince to say it himself, which inevitably made the status of the people in the court who worked hard Puyang Haokun a little shaken.

This sentence immediately made the emperor furious, so he turned to Puyang Haokun and asked, "Is there such a thing?" ”

Puyang Haokun couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied with the prince, lowered his head and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes, and his hands were covered with green tendons, which couldn't help but have a bit of atmosphere. Holding back his anger, he slowly replied: "Erchen is just looking for the traces of Gong Mushen......

Before he finished speaking, the emperor who was sitting on a high seat gagged him, punished him, and said sharply: "Stop Gong Mu Shen's investigation." ”

And Puyang Haokun could only hold the breath in his chest and silently responded, and the prince on the side looked at him with a mocking smile, which couldn't help but make him even more angry. silently told himself not to be angry in the bottom of his heart, slowly calmed his breath, took down the anger on his face, and stood without a look.

As soon as he returned to the mansion, he learned that Gong Mushen and his party had fled, and his own people had lost them, and he immediately burst out of the sentence: "Waste!" The anger in his eyes was very obvious, and the teacup next to him was thrown to the ground by his sleeve and splashed on his clothes, but it still couldn't extinguish his anger.

The palatial Shangshu Mansion is located in a prosperous corner of the capital, with two majestic stone lions in front of the door, and the glazed tiles on the eaves reflect the misty colors. A small bamboo forest is planted in the corner of the house, and the verdant bamboo shadows are mixed with the warm sun, giving people a sense of tranquility escaping from the world.

At this moment when everything was silent, a roar suddenly came from somewhere in the house, and it was extremely loud against the quiet environment.

"You said you found the clue that Gong Mu Shen was hiding?"

A shocking ghost roar came from the red-brick and white-tiled study house, startling the birds in the bamboo forest. But the culprit was unaware, and he grabbed the young man who came to report with excitement, and asked with a smile.

"Yes." The young man wanted to break free from Lu Shangshu's clutches, but he didn't dare: "The fourth prince got the news first, and he has already rushed over there to search once." ”

Listening to his words, Lu Shangshu slowly came back to his senses, and the excitement in his eyes finally subsided. He ordered the young man who had delivered the news to step back, and he himself paced in his study in contemplation.

I didn't expect Puyang Haokun to be so well-informed, and he had already taken action first, but the result should have been nothing, otherwise Gong Mushen would have been caught back by Wuhua Da at this time, how could he still hide in the mountains and forests? However, now that the limelight is in full swing, Gong Mushen should not dare to act rashly for the time being. So it seems that as long as that guy is still hiding in the mountains, it is completely possible for the few of them to join forces to catch him!

After making up his mind, Lu Shangshu hurriedly called someone to prepare a sedan chair to go to the place where the fourth prince lived. He believed that Puyang Haokun would definitely join forces with him, and the scourge of Gong Mu Shen could not stay for a long time, not even the slightest clue!

A few days later, the small village that had been tossed by the Puyang forces at no peace not only did not have a few days of comfortable life, but this time it was surrounded by more people and horses, and the surrounding area of the hill was impassable. Every day, soldiers in battle armor patrol and search the nearby farms, making the farmers miserable.

After the two forces of Lu Shangshu and Puyang combined, they became even more handy, sending a certain number of people up the mountain every day, not doing anything else, just to find out the general terrain on the mountain. Although this small mountainous area is inaccessible and it may be very difficult to search, as long as Gong Mu is immersed in it, Lu Shangshu and the others are equivalent to catching turtles in the urn. No matter how big this barren mountain is, one day we will be able to find out all the places!

"Fourth prince, you said that we blocked the way down the mountain, what else can Gong Mu Shen do?" Lu Shangshu raised the gold bottle and said with a smile.

Puyang Haokun also seemed to be in high spirits, although the previous search failed, it did not hinder the morale of this search, and he also felt that Gong Mu Shen would definitely not be able to escape this rigorous search.

"He can't fly or impress, what can he do? I can only tie my hands and catch it. ”

The two of them fantasized about the day when they captured Gong Mu Shen alive, and they both laughed out loud, raised the golden bottle and drank it, so happy.

The boundaries of the unexplored areas on the barren mountains are shrinking smaller and smaller, and Lu Shangshu has long dreamed of capturing the palace Mu Shen. However, the good times didn't last long, just when the two of them thought they were about to catch Gong Mushen, suddenly the imperial court came with an urgent order, and they were about to draw half of the current strength of the two families.

The sudden turn of events made Lu Shangshu and Pu Yang unable to believe this fact, so the two of them found their intelligence spies to ask what was going on.

"Report to the prince, this matter is not fake. Just a few days ago, there was a sudden outbreak of infectious diseases in the suburbs of Beijing, infecting a large number of people, and the incident happened suddenly, alarming the imperial court, so the Holy Majesty ordered the dispatch of some troops under the command of private forces, temporarily requisitioned to suppress the disaster. We are not the only army that has been deployed. ”

Hearing such news, both of them turned a little pale. After being silent for a long time, Lu Shangshuhu said suspiciously: "Impossible, this thing is really too strange, how can this epidemic be as if it was calculated, it will not happen sooner or later, but at this time, it will be a demon?" ”

Lu Shangshu also looked dizzy, just bothering about the impossibility, but he didn't think about the reason deeply. At this time, Puyang Haokun, the fourth prince who was relatively calm beside him, said with compassion: "It is possible that someone is really secretly manipulating this matter behind his back, but I don't know what his purpose is." ”

Although neither of them seems to know who the culprit is behind and why they are doing this, they both have an answer in their hearts, just waiting for the evidence behind them to determine. Finally, the secret information that the two had been waiting for for was finally delivered, and after reading it, the faces of the two were very terrifying.

Lu Shangshu pinched the book in his hand, was so angry that his mustache curled, and said hatefully: "This prince is always bad for our good deeds!" It's really an eyesore. The more he spoke, the more angry he became, so he simply threw the scroll in his hand and stood silently in front of the window.

Compared to him, Puyang Haokun looked very calm, but his face was a little colder, playing with the white jade wrench in his hand, and his handsome appearance looked a little gloomy: "It's also our mistake, I didn't expect that although Gong Mushen couldn't go to the sky and the earth, someone was willing to help him enter the water." ”

That's right, this person who helped Gong Mu Shen when he was in danger is still the prince, and I have to say that this person is really very loyal. However, the prince also played a big game this time, and even used the river on the outskirts of the city to throw the source of infection into the water, causing a series of epidemics. Usually the prince is honest, but at a critical time, he is so decisive and ruthless, but he can't be disrespectful.

The prince did make a clever move. From beginning to end, Lu Shangshu and Puyang Haokun relied on the tactics of crowds to suppress Gong Mushen: use enough troops to block all the villages along the way, and use manpower to find out the terrain of the mountains and forests every day. After he made this move, Lu Shangshu and Puyang Haokun's troops were deployed in large quantities, and only half of the original foundation was left.

Halfway! What can half do? At most, the road under the mountain can be blocked, but there will be very few troops left, and a little search can get the year of the monkey; Or all go up the mountain to Duangong Mu Shen's lair, but maybe people will slip from which route.

Although only half of the troops were drained, it was like a broken arm for the two of them, and what they were doing was that they couldn't move.

Thinking of the prince who was in the way, Lu Shangshu's eyes showed a gloomy light, and the thoughts in his heart lingered, and he pondered for a long time before he said to Puyang Haokun: "It's better to ...... Let's go after the prince first, so that he can't get in the way of us anymore. ”

Hearing this, Puyang also nodded, and sneered: "I have long had this intention." ”

After this time, the two of them had already developed murderous intentions towards the prince.
