Chapter 22: The God of the Creek

But even if Mu Shiyu reacted, there was very little she could do, plus her realm was sealed, and it was difficult for her to stop two people who could not be ignored.

"Don't!"

Mu Shiyu chose the most extreme method, which was to crash headlong in the direction of the battle trajectory, she believed that if she was caught in the middle, then her father and Zhou Heng would inevitably stop.

She was still confused, but she would never let the two of them fight.

Mu Shiyu's actions were really a bit stupid, at least in the eyes of the two of them, Mu Hong was a little surprised, but the sword did not stop, and the momentum was even more fierce. And Zhou Heng's face was expressionless, his sword was summoned by Ji Tian, and there was no sword in his hand, but it was as powerful as he condensed a sword intent to compete with it.

At the most critical moment, Zhou Heng's speed suddenly accelerated, and he grabbed Mu Shiyu and threw it out, and Ling Yan's sword intent collided with Mu Hong's sword.

Bang!

Zhou Heng and Mu Shiyu flew directly upside down, and took a few slow steps before stopping.

Mu Shiyu's face was pale, more incredulous, if Zhou Heng hadn't caught her just now, maybe she would have been pierced by her father's sword, which was extremely fatal to her as an ordinary person!

"Father, why..."Mu Shiyu said helplessly.

"Daughter, fortunately you're fine, if something really goes wrong, how will I face your dead mother in the future. Mu Hong's face was ashamed, as if he was regretting that he hadn't stopped his sword.

Looking at Mu Hong's haggard and self-reproachful face, Mu Shiyu was in a trance, could it really be that he had misunderstood?

"Quick, come here, Zhou Heng intends to rebel, you are my daughter, do you want to help your enemy?" Mu Hong stretched out his hand, signaling Mu Shiyu to stand beside him to defend against the thief.

Mu Shiyu really didn't understand, her head was already confused, Zhou Heng used to be Mu Hong's personal guard, and he should be the most trusted person, but the two of them were ready to kill each other as soon as they met.

Mu Shiyu didn't understand and didn't want to understand.

"Princess, get out of the way, have you forgotten who made us suffer so much? If we hadn't been lucky enough to escape, we would have been buried deep in the bones. Zhou Heng said stiffly.

"Even so, he is still my father, and he told me before that he knew that we were being hunted down, so it can be seen that someone must have tried to provoke us to fight each other. Mu Shiyu tried to persuade the two men with words, but it seemed to be fruitless.

They are people with a purpose, and it would be too embarrassing to be persuaded to quit with a simple sentence.

"Princess, I'm afraid it's hard for you to believe what you're saying. Zhou Heng shook his head and said calmly: "The entire empire seems to be in control of the military power as a general, but if the king speaks, who dares to disobey? Princess, don't make things seem too simple, you must know that we have all been suspicious all the way so far." ”

"Now that your realm is sealed, it is impossible to stop us, no, even if your realm is still there, it will be difficult to stop us. ”

Zhou Heng said seriously.

This also made Mu Shiyu very heartbroken, what was wrong, but everything was different when he entered the main hall, the injured father, Zhou Heng, who became strange, all of this was beyond her expectations.

At this time, there was a burst of applause in the spacious hall, Mu Hong looked at Zhou Heng in admiration, and said with emotion: "Well said, said so well, who dares to disobey?" Hehe, Zhou Heng, you can really speak well, and you can tell the truth about lies." ”

Zhou Heng's eyes were cold, and he said: "I, Zhou Heng, never tell lies, if His Royal Highness the King thinks something is not right, please point it out, let me be convinced." ”

Mu Hong laughed, but talked about the past: "Zhou Heng, how many years have you been a soldier under my command?"

"Returned to His Highness, marched for twenty years, and then became a general. ”

"Twenty years is a long time, plus the time of being a general, it should be twenty-five or six years. ”

Mu Hong stretched out his hand and compared, "I still remember when I saw you, you said that you were homeless and begged me to take you in, and I saw that you were a sword prodigy, and you had an indomitable spirit, so I took you in." ”

"And you have indeed proved yourself, in just over twenty years, you have reached the realm of the Sage, and your talent is truly terrifying. ”

"But it is said that the grace of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring, what about you? is this how you repay me!" Mu Hong's eyes froze, and an imperial power was revealed, making people unable to breathe.

Zhou Heng dragged his seriously injured body, and he did not give in at all, even though he was exhausted, his back was still straight.

Mu Hong's imperial power was obviously aimed at Zhou Heng, and Mu Shiyu did not feel any discomfort.

Mu Shiyu was not born when Zhou Heng came to the Christi Empire, and Mu Shiyu only knew a little about his origin, of course, that was what she learned from the people and her father's words when she grew up.

For example, he bravely kills the enemy, bravely confronts the rogue, although he has a cold face, he is enthusiastic about the people, and he has a good influence everywhere in the mouths of the people.

Like the heroes described in the bard's mouth, although they were poor at an early age, they were gifted, and they were glorified on the battlefield, and finally retired to the world, leaving behind a glorious legend.

But Mu Shiyu was also often weird, because no matter how she searched, she couldn't find anything about Zhou Heng before she came to the Christie Empire.

You must know that when a person becomes a hero, he is destined to be excavated by people to make deeds, or to be born with a different vision.

But no, nothing, nothing, as if everything before Zhou Heng had been erased, leaving no trace.

"Your Royal Highness, you should know the meaning of first come, first come, I think you must know that the meaning of this sentence is not only for people, but also for things and things. ”

Zhou Heng slowly closed his eyes, as if he was caught in some kind of memory, but he didn't listen to the words on his lips.

"In the winter of nineteen years, I don't know if you still remember that one day in the northern frontier was attacked by enemy soldiers, and there was a famous general Bai Zetian and the silver cavalry troops under his command in the city at that time, I don't know if you remember?"

This sentence was said to Mu Hong, but Mu Shiyu thought for a moment that he was deliberately saying it to her.

"I know, I always know, that in the winter of the nineteenth year, the city of Northern Xinjiang was breached, and 30,000 old and weak women died tragically on the spot, and that day there was a snowfall, and the blood of those 30,000 people was sprinkled in the city, forming a river, a river of blood. Mu Hong's expression was gloomy.

Zhou Heng kept staring at Mu Hong's demeanor and continued: "Although the situation was grim at that time, with Bai Zetian here, the enemy was forced out of the city, and in the end there was nothing to be done but to be trapped outside the city. ”

"According to the path at that time, it only takes three days to hold out, and the soldiers of the Christian Empire will arrive in time to save people from fire and water. Yes, our soldiers have indeed arrived, taking with them the king's own orders!"

Speaking of this, Zhou Heng was obviously stunned, and said after half a sound: "The people in the northern Xinjiang thought that they were safe and sound, but that night, those soldiers took advantage of Bai Zetian's carelessness to open the door to hold on, and the soldiers of the enemy country had been waiting outside for a long time, hehe, the inside should be combined with the outside, I am afraid that Bai Zetian will not dare to believe that he will die in the hands of his own people until he dies." ”

"It's really ironic, he dedicated his life to the country, but was stabbed by the person behind him, presumably his heart hurt very much at that time. ”

Mu Shiyu felt a pang in her heart, and Bai Zetian also knew it, but if the truth was really as Zhou Heng said, then this was undoubtedly the darkest thing, and it was definitely a secret that had already rotted in the king's heart.

But is this true? Mu Shiyu himself was not sure, because there were so many things involved, enough that an entire empire could collapse in an instant.

"I am also very saddened by the death of General Bai. But if you continue to talk like that, don't blame me for not giving you a chance to explain. Mu Hong said.

"I know you're going to say that, and I don't have any proof, but I'm not done yet, so please keep listening. Zhou Heng said.

"It was a scene of purgatory on earth, and at that time, I am afraid that the only luck in misfortune was born. ”

Hearing this, Mu Hong suddenly wanted something.

Bai Zetian's wife successfully gave birth to a baby after the pregnancy period, but the funny thing is that there was a war at that time, and it was impossible for her to escape with the baby when she was weak, so she handed over the baby to a most trustworthy person and let him escape through a secret passage. ”

"May I ask Your Highness, have you guessed who that baby is?"

Zhou Heng spit out the secret he had hidden for many years, just to wait for the opportunity, and now, he felt extremely relaxed.
