Chapter 67: Usurpation
Mu Yi talked with Tan Rulin and concluded that the murderer must have come to seek revenge, but there was no other progress in a short time, so he had to find a treasure of feng shui and bury Mu Yi's parents and Yue Ting's brother and family first.
Yue Ting lit three incense sticks and bowed down in front of the Mu family's grave: "Old man Mu, Aunt Yun, you can leave with confidence, Mu Yi will be handed over to me in the future." ”
Mu Yi felt even more uncomfortable when he heard the sound, and fell down in front of the grave and cried: "Father, mother, it was the child who affected you." In the future, the child will break the murderer into pieces and avenge you. ”
Yue Ting patted him on the back and told him to calm down. Then he went to another cemetery, put incense and candles, sighed and said, "Big brother and sister-in-law, although you used to treat me well, I don't mind. In the future, the matter of the inheritance of the old Yue family will be handed over to me. With that, he kowtowed three times.
The two built a grass house next to the grave and kept filial piety for their family for seven days before they had to return to the capital.
On the way, Yue Ting saw that Mu Yi was depressed, and comforted him: "I see that the old man and the eldest lady have not suffered any crimes, which can be regarded as a great luck." The two of us are cultivators, so finding out the murderer must not be a problem. Presumably, it's either the Tocharians or the remnants of the 500,000 mountains, there will always be clues. ”
Mu Yi nodded: "When I go back, I'll ask Ouyang Chun for help." These people are clever in their means, and they must all be famous rangers, so it shouldn't be difficult to turn them out. ”
Seeing that Mu Yi cheered up, Yue Ting didn't say anything more. The aura of the two was triggered, and they rushed to the capital in half a day.
When they arrived outside the city of Jingzhou, the two were surprised to find that the city gate had been closed. The Xuanjia army also left the garrison, and the troops were stationed outside the four gates, which was very strange.
After climbing over the city wall, the two quickly swept towards Mu Mansion. All the shops on the streets were closed, the city was full of Xuanjia soldiers patrolling, and there was a faint smell of blood in the air.
When he returned to the mansion, Mu Yi was slightly relieved to see that everyone was fine. As soon as she stepped into the lobby, Princess Qingcheng cried and pounced: "Husband, you are back, you have to avenge my imperial brother." ”
Mu Yi's heart sank, could it be that the prince had been killed, but he didn't know what had happened, so he hurriedly helped her and asked, "Qingqing, what happened, you say it slowly." ”
"Xia Qingmang killed his father and brother and usurped the throne. A deep voice came from behind him. Mu Yi looked up and saw that the third prince was holding his lower abdomen and walking out of the back room, his waist was stained with blood and wrapped in a white cloth.
"Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, what's going on. Mu Yi couldn't help but be shocked when he saw that he was also injured.
"Yesterday, my father was seriously ill, and he called the important ministers of the court and a few of our princes to the outside of the dormitory, first announced that the eldest brother would ascend the throne, and then called people in one by one to ask for the future, and when it came to Xia Qingmang, he came out and said that his father passed on to him! Unexpectedly, he joined forces with Prime Minister Zhao Cheng and Xia Wenyuan to kill all the disobedient courtiers. ”
"Fortunately, I was prepared, and I placed several heroes in the forbidden army in advance, and when I saw that the situation was not good, I hinted that they would make a move and rushed into my father's bedroom. I ran to the dragon bed and found that my father had already been killed, and the palace maids around me had also fallen in a pool of blood. ”
"My eldest brother and I led the guards to kill this thief, but unfortunately Xia Wenyuan was prepared and drove the army into the city, and most of the palace guards were bought by him. I was outnumbered and had to escape. The eldest brother led the dead to resist, and finally died in the chaos. Xia Qingmang's words were full of resentment.
"There is such a thing, Xia Wenyuan was actually bought by the second prince. Mu Yi frowned. Seeing that Xia Qinghan was extremely sad, he couldn't help but think of his parents, and he couldn't bear it in his heart, so he shook her hand vigorously to show comfort.
"Yes, it's up to you now. Your Heavenly Hunting Army is stationed in the 500,000 Great Mountain, and on the surface you are the confidant of the second prince, presumably he will not embarrass you for the time being. When the time is ripe in the future, I will also ask General Mu to take action and kill this fang for my Great Xia royal family. I, Xia Qingluan, do not covet the throne, I only want to avenge my father and brother. ”
Mu Yike didn't believe that he didn't want to be the emperor, but at this time, the situation was chaotic, so he had to nod and say: "Okay, the stakes are very important at this time, and you should think about it in the long run." ”
While the two were talking, another person entered the lobby and said as he walked: "There are masters in ambush on all sides of the city, I'm afraid it will be difficult to rush out." ”
Mu Yi raised his eyes and saw that it was his master Ouyang Chun! He was still dressed as a sergeant, and his body was covered with blood, thinking that he had experienced a tragic battle.
"Master. Mu Yi picked up Xia Qinghan and bowed to Ouyang Chun. Only then did he realize that Ouyang Chun stayed in Beijing to protect the three princes. It seems that the third prince has really spent a lot of effort on the rangers over the years.
"There's no need to be polite, just come back, with you as a cultivator, it will be much easier for me to wait for the breakthrough. Ouyang Chun stretched out his hand to help Mu Yi up, and he was also overjoyed.
Seeing that Mu Yi was a little confused, the second prince hurriedly explained: "Ouyang Daxia found that there were a lot of eyeliner outside the mansion, and I was afraid that your Mu Mansion would not be safe, so I wanted to get out as soon as possible." ”
Mu Yi smiled bitterly: "Not only outside the house, my Mu Mansion is rewarded by the second prince, and the eyeliner in the house is not necessarily less than that outside the house." ”
Xia Qingluan was shocked: "How should that be." Haven't we been exposed? ”
"It's okay," Mu Yi waved his hand, "The second prince hasn't done anything yet, either he hasn't received the news yet, or he has other ideas, you wait and see, I'll go to the palace to meet the second prince." ”
As he spoke, he took out something from his arms and said to Ouyang Chun, "Master, after I enter the palace in a while, if the situation changes, I will crush the seal letter you gave." After receiving the letter, you and Yue Ting escorted everyone to break through. I see that the defense in the north of the city is more lax, so you will first retreat to the north, and then turn around and go to the south to go to the 500,000 mountains. This is my tiger talisman, and my eldest brother is also familiar with the generals in the army, and will definitely listen to his orders. ”
Yue Ting said worriedly, "Didn't the princess say that there are also two cultivators in the palace, can you do it alone?"
"It's okay, I can't beat it, can't I run yet? Besides, the situation may not be so serious, after all, the second prince still has a place to use me. Mu Yi said with relief.
Seeing that he had made up his mind, the crowd was no longer reluctant. Only the little princess was quite reluctant, and took out a bottle of pill from her arms: "Although the effect of this bottle of Qi Replenishing Pill is not very good, it can also replenish some spiritual energy, you can bring it in case of trouble." ”
Mu Yi was moved in her heart, gently shook her little hand, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, don't you say I'm amazing." If you meet your aunt, you might be able to open up to me. ”
Mu Yi settled down everyone, then changed into court clothes, hidden in the suit, the flying sword was hidden in the sleeve, and he did not take a sedan chair, and went to the palace on a horse.
The soldiers patrolling on the road saw that Mu Yi was wearing a Zhengyipin court uniform, and they did not step forward to stop him. Mu Yi walked all the way to the palace gate and explained to the forbidden army guarding the gate that he wanted to see the second prince.
Not long after, the sergeant who delivered the message returned and led Mu Yi to the Taihe Palace. When he reached the gate of the temple, the sergeant took his leave and left, leaving him alone at the gate of the temple.
After looking left and right, there was no eunuch outside the gate of the Taihe Palace, so Mu Yi had to step into the hall by himself. As soon as he crossed the threshold, he saw the second prince Xia Qingmang wearing a dragon robe and jade belt, sitting on the throne with a big lama, and there was no one beside him.
Mu Yi thought for a while, Xia Qingmang's name was not right at this time, if it was not appropriate to hold the Son of Heaven ceremony, it would weaken his momentum, so he only arched his hand and said: "The last general will see His Royal Highness the Second Prince." ”
"Hahaha," Xia Qingmang laughed loudly, "Mu Aiqing, I am already the emperor, you should call me Your Majesty." ”
"If you go back to Your Highness, Your Highness's enthronement ceremony has not yet been held, and now you will kneel and bow down, and if the ceremony is not in line, please forgive Your Highness. ”
"Okay, good," Xia Qingmang's eyes flashed, "It's just a little thing, it's okay, it's okay." I don't know why Mu Aiqing came this time. ”
"Don't hide it from Your Highness, at the end of a few days ago, there was some change in my hometown, so I left Beijing and returned to my hometown without permission. Last night, the emperor failed to come when he was summoned, so he came to ask for his guilt. ”
"Little things, little things," Xia Qingmang leaned back on the dragon chair, "But I have one thing, and I have to worry about Mu Aiqing to do it." ”
"Your Highness's order is that the last general will not dare to disobey. ”
"Okay," Xia Qingmang smiled, "Mu Aiqing went back to the house and took the heads of the rebellious Xia Qingluan and the princess of Qingcheng, Xia Qinghan, and I will not be guilty of the past, how about it?"
"Your Highness said that you are laughing," Mu Yi clenched his fists, "How can His Royal Highness the Third Prince be in my mansion." ”
"In this Great Xia Dynasty, there is nothing I don't know. Xia Qingmang's face sank, "And you colluded with the prince in Yanzhou, do you think I don't know." ”
Mu Yi shook the flying sword in his sleeve back, bowed his head and said, "The last general doesn't understand what His Highness means. ”
"Mu Aiqing doesn't need to panic," Xia Qingmang laughed again, "I can understand what you are doing, after all, it is also for self-preservation." As long as you can take the princess's head to see me and express your heart to me, I will not blame the past, and I will also bring the southern army of the town into your command. ”
"Daydreaming," Mu Yi saw that this matter was no longer good, so he luckily shattered the court clothes, revealing the power suit inside and the flying sword in his hand.
Unexpectedly, this Xia Qingmang was not panicked at all, and laughed: "Finally, I can't bear it anymore, you think that you can run rampant in Great Xia with some immortal arts?"
As soon as the words fell, the six doors of the hall behind Mu Yi opened together, and a large number of forbidden troops poured in. Mu Yi saw that the situation was not good, so he wanted to capture the thief and capture the king first, stepped on the seven stars and stepped on the clouds, and rushed towards Xia Qingmang.
Before he could get closer, several swordsmen flashed out of the screen behind Xia Qingmang, and with a kick of his feet, they shot at him like arrows from the string.
Mu Yi hurriedly sacrificed the flying sword to protect his whole body, only to hear a few crisp sounds of "Zheng Zheng Zheng", and the flying sword and the opponent's long sword struck a few times, and it was on par!
Standing still, Mu Yi looked at the six swordsmen in Tsing Yi who stopped in front of him, and saw that these people were all dressed in the same costume, with fluttering green clothes and long swords pointing forward. There was a little cold light on the sword, and I think it was also a divine weapon.
Mu Yi said in a deep voice: "Xia Qingmang, you have hidden deep enough to be able to attract so many masters. Let's come to a long time, and we won't leave it at this today. ”
Seeing that he couldn't do anything anymore, he wanted to retreat, and it was the right thing to go back to his house as soon as possible to cover everyone's retreat.
At the foot of his feet, Mu Yi retreated to the entrance of the hall, turned the flying sword and rushed to the forbidden army at the door. Dozens of sergeants were cut off and their heads were in different places.
Just as he was about to flash out of the Taihe Palace, Xia Qingmang's voice behind him sounded like thunder in his ears: "Mu Yi, don't you want to avenge your parents?"
