229. Troubled times begin

~Date: ~October 05~

Mu Yirou squatted down and turned the man's face over, but he was stunned all of a sudden!

Huo Huan?! Why is he here?!

She blinked her eyes and stared at Huo Huan's blue face again, only then did she make sure that she was not mistaken.

Is he dead?

Mu Yirou probed his snort and found that he still had a faint breath, and her hand trembled.

She didn't know why Huo Huan was here, but her heart never thought of saving him, just because he was Huo Chen's enemy.

If it weren't for Mu Yanrong and Huo Huan, how could Huo Chen have suffered so much, the hatred in her heart gradually increased, and there was a trace of killing intent in her eyes.

The emperor of this world can only be Huo Chen, and the superfluous ones should not stay.

Mu Yirou took a deep breath, it seemed that Huo Huan would not survive, she got up and wanted to leave, but after taking a few steps, her footsteps suddenly froze, she turned her head slightly, it was hard to guarantee that someone else would save him, and then the gain would outweigh the loss.

Not far away, there is the sound of water falling, and at the end of the river is a waterfall.

Mu Yirou looked at Huo Huan, walked over again, pulled Huo Huan's clothes, and dragged him forward with the buoyancy of the water.

Even though she was hungry and weak, she always had a belief in her heart.

It was getting closer, it was getting closer, the water was turbulent, and Mu Yirou finally showed a smile on his face.

And Huo Huan, who was dying, his eyelids moved, his wound was soaked by the river, and at this time, he was rubbed by the soil next to the riverbank, it seemed that someone was dragging him, but why was his body still in the water? He opened his heavy eyelids hard, the things in front of him were a little blurry, and there was a deafening sound of water flowing in his ears, what was wrong?

Mu Yirou saw that the mouth of the waterfall was close in front of her, not only was she overjoyed, as long as Huo Huan fell down to the waterfall, she would definitely die.

Huo Huan's vision gradually recovered, and a face was reflected, which made him shout: "Mu Yirou ......"

Mu Yirou didn't expect Huo Huan to wake up, she was frightened, and let go of her hand, her eyes widened, because this was close to the mouth of the waterfall, she had to spend a lot of effort to hold Huo Huan just now, as soon as she let go at this time, Huo Huan quickly drifted down the current.

She sat on the ground and watched Huo Huan plop twice in the water, obviously, Huo Huan no longer had any physical strength, let alone on such a turbulent river, how could he swim over, but she heard his shout: "Mu Yirou!" Save me...... Help me......"

But at this moment, Mu Yirou's body froze, isn't that what she wants?

Huo Huan was almost close to the mouth of the waterfall, his figure was swallowed by the anglas flower, Mu Yirou got up with a puff of smoke and ran to the mouth of the waterfall, in addition to the sound of water mixed with a scream, the bright yellow figure had also disappeared.

Huo Huan disappeared, she covered her heart, she did something for Huo Chen, didn't she?

But how did she feel that her hands were stained with blood, why she killed all Huo Chen's relatives, what a great torment this was, she didn't know whether what she did was right or wrong, but she knew that she couldn't turn back.

She no longer looked at the mouth of the waterfall, and walked back slowly, trying to calm herself down, now is she going back to Beijing or what? But she is still unclear about the situation in the capital, and the city gates have not been opened, and it seems that the situation is still tense.

Her footwork was a little shaky, and she felt that Huo Chen was already a little suspicious of herself, so she didn't dare to go to Huo Chen, but at this time she was helpless, who else could she count on besides him?

Her head became more and more dizzy, everything in front of her seemed to be subverted, her steps were floating, she silently thought about Huo Chen in her heart, and finally fell to the ground.

By this time the afterglow had faded, and the sky was getting darker.

The sound of footsteps changed from small to loud, making her feel a little hopeful in her heart.

She tried to be so hungry, she was not favored by Mu Qizhi in the Prime Minister's Mansion, although she was a young lady, but she had to do rough work like a subordinate, she accidentally broke a few bowls at that time, and was locked in the firewood room for several days, and it was not a drop of water.

Since then, she has said to herself in her heart that she can't be bullied by others forever, in order to get what she wants, she has already made her heart cold, and she relies on herself.

But at this time, someone came to save her, in fact, she was also tired, she just wanted to be by Huo Chen's side, is this all a difficult thing?

The visitor saw Mu Yirou's face clearly, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, he didn't expect to meet Mu Yirou here. He searched for Huo Huan's trace along the river, but found nothing, and probably floated along the river to the mouth of the waterfall.

Mo Yan sighed, even if he didn't have a good impression of Mu Yirou, but this was Huo Chen's person.

After hesitating for a while, he picked up Mu Yirou and walked in the direction of the barracks.

But at this time, the barracks were filled with a tense atmosphere.

Everyone was worried about whether Huo Chen could be saved.

It depends on whether Huo Chen can survive tonight.

Yin Yuexi and Qian Jiu both knew that if Huo Chen hadn't jumped up to the city tower, it was estimated that the injury would not be so serious, and on the way back, although the acupuncture points were sealed, there was still too much blood and qi loss, and I am afraid it would be very tricky.

"Is that her?" Chu Qing asked suspiciously.

Yin Yuexi nodded, also with a heavy face: "It was the arrow she shot, it seems that she is bent on putting her master to death, she pretended to negotiate, just to let her master send troops to repel Deng Feiyang and Qiang Baitao, so that she can reap the benefits of the fisherman." ”

Chu Qing didn't feel like Mu Wanqing would do such a thing, so frustrated, only Mu Yanrong was the only one, could it be that they joined forces? After thinking about it, Chu Qing couldn't get any good results, but it made him more and more puzzled why Mu Wanqing was so contrasting before and after. He still remembered that Mu Wanqing's affection for Huo Chen at that time, was that just a deliberate performance by Mu Wanqing?

Or maybe Mu Wanqing hated Huo Chen so much from beginning to end?

Yufei saw Chu Qing's frowning brows, so he pulled his sleeve, and while Yin Yuexi and Tian Jiu were talking and discussing, he pulled Chu Qing aside, and said worriedly: "The master is injured now, and the news has spread, which will only make the senior sister feel that this is a good opportunity." ”

Chu Qing was also worried, at this time it was the time when the army's morale was weakened, and Tong Sudong would definitely seize this opportunity.

"We're on guard and can't let her get into the loop." Chu Qing said softly, "Also, these days, the two of us take turns to stay by the master's side, in case something happens. ”

"Okay." Yufei only begged Tong Sudong not to be impulsive, and the development of things so far was no longer beyond their control.

Even in the middle of the night, the palace is still brightly lit.

Not only in the capital, but even in the imperial city, people are panicking.

Huo Huan has been missing for two days and one night, and there is no news, but in the afternoon, he learned from several Yulin guards that Huo Huan should have gone out of the city along the river at the south gate. In addition, Mu Yanrong received a flying pigeon message.

Mu Yanrong suddenly felt that autumn had arrived, and her end was coming.

At this time, Zhengshou Palace was very silent, and suddenly the sound of pouring tea broke the silence.

"Queen Mother, don't be too sad." Manyuan offered a cup of tea, but Mu Yanrong didn't take it.

"Manyuan, do you think this palace is too ridiculous?" Mu Yanrong walked out slowly, only to feel more deeply exposed, she slowly lowered her head, and saw the corners of her magnificent skirt dragging on the ground, in the night, there was no bewitching and gorgeous.

She only learned the news today, the army in the south was intercepted, suffered heavy casualties, and the main general also wanted the imperial court to send troops to rescue, but how can she be now, in addition to the Black Wind Iron Cavalry to defend the capital, it is only for thousands of Yulin Guard.

The plan she once felt was very strict had already been broken by Huo Chen's caution.

Even if Huo Chen died, I was afraid that his subordinates would attack the city, and she felt that her life was already dark.

"Then what is the Queen Mother going to do? According to the current situation, opening the city gate can still have a trace of vitality. Manyuan suggested.

Mu Yanrong turned her head and stared at Manyuan, as if she had heard a # joke, the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked: "Vitality? Since Hongu has come this far, he thinks that he may not survive, but ......"

Such a thick night made Mu Yanrong seem to be breathless.

"Manyuan, now that the outcome has been decided, Huo Chen's soldiers have besieged the capital, and it's good that the emperor is gone, at least he can live." Mu Yanrong sighed, she had always refused to admit defeat before, just for Huo Huan, and now that Huo Huan is out of the city, no matter how much she does, it will be in vain, "When you open the city gate, you will pretend that the people will go out of the city to find the traces of the emperor, he has never tried to leave Beijing alone, and the palace is afraid...... At the very least, let Hongu know that he is still safe. ”

Manyuan bowed her head and took the order: "Yes." ”

Nights like this make it difficult for more people to sleep.

In a deserted outskirts, the wind blew the grass back and forth, and it was poured into the woman's white clothes.

There was no moon tonight, Tong Sudong looked around, and then walked in front of a grave.

And this tomb, there is no text on the tombstone, this is the sorrow of the descendants of the Chu State, writing a fake name, their hearts are not comfortable, writing their real name, it will attract suspicion, so they simply don't write anything.

Tong Sudong didn't want to be like this when she was a hundred years old, she gritted her teeth and made up her mind.

She used her sword qi to cut a trench before she crouched down and searched in the dirt for a while before she found a wooden box. She had already felt the evil aura, but there was no timidity on her face, and she took the box out.

Tong Sudong laid the box flat on the ground and blew the dust on it, only then did he open the box, and at this moment, there seemed to be an evil aura rushing into the sky.
