Chapter 115: The Trap
"Ahh Mu Yi, who was basking in the sun, sneezed violently, rubbed his nose and muttered, "Who is cursing me again?" ”
"You're always in the house, you're all weak, can you not sneeze. Luo Tian on the side was lazily lying in the hammock, holding a straw in his mouth, drinking a freshly prepared cocktail, "You see I bask in the sun every day, this body is very good." ”
"Forget it. Mu Yi turned over and said disapprerovingly. But he is very fond of the hammock in Luo Fatzi's yard. These days, I come to bask in the sun when I have nothing to do, and the yard is full of flowers, and the flowers are colorful, which is very enjoyable.
"I didn't expect you to be able to create such a beautiful scenery. Mu Yi swayed the rope and said casually.
"Hehe, that's because when I was in the Eastern Continent, there was such a place in the master's gate, but that garden belonged to one of my uncles, and I could only look at it at the time, and I didn't have that blessing to use. Now that I have this strength, of course I have to enjoy it. ”
"Enjoy a moment as it should be. But Brother Luo, don't lose your mind and don't think about cultivating. I see that you are busy with other things all day long, and I haven't seen you cultivate much. Mu Yizhen regarded Luo Tian as a friend and gave advice.
"I know that Brother Mu is for my good, but my Lao Luo knows how capable he is. Luo Tiandao said, "My qualifications are low, and it is not easy to cultivate to this point. It's better to have fun in time, and it's not in vain. ”
"That's right. "Mu Yi is not a pedantic master, he always wants others to follow his own path. People have their own aspirations, life is just a process, spring is born and autumn falls, and all things are one. If you are always obsessed with one thing, you will miss more scenery.
"By the way, Brother Mu, the Yilan Kingdom has sent a letter, let's go and receive those two cities the day after tomorrow, first to Fort Wuko, and then to Eminzi. ”
"Hmm. Mu Yi nodded, and remembered something again, "Has there been any news from the principality's fine work in Yilan City?" ”
"You said those spies. Luo Tian took a sip of wine and said vaguely, "Those guys who eat idle food haven't heard from me yet, but don't worry about them, they don't usually play a role." If it weren't for the Minister of War's insistence on setting up some intelligence agency, I would have abolished them a long time ago, and all the money spent on them every year would have been lost. ”
Mu Yi didn't care about his nonsense, Luo Tian was just a cultivator, and he didn't understand the stakes involved, but he himself was a great general, and he knew that he knew himself and his opponent, and he would not be defeated in a hundred battles. The role of scouts is sometimes worth thousands of troops, and even in peacetime, their role should not be underestimated.
After pondering for a long time, Mu Yi spoke: "Since the news hasn't been sent back yet, let's push back the time of receiving the city, and when the matter of Yilan City is fully confirmed, it will not be too late to hand over." ”
"I'm afraid that's not right. Luo Fatzi pulled the sunglasses on his eyes and stared at Mu Yidao, "Brother Mu also said that there are many dreams at night, if you tell the Yilan Kingdom this time that you want to postpone the reception time, it will make them think that we are afraid of them." When the time comes, if they come up with any moths, they will be in trouble. ”
"That's just as well. Mu Yi pondered Luo Fatzi's words and felt that it made sense, "Then let's do it, you send someone to invite Brother Mar from the Duchy of Demar, he and I are friends in trouble, and we have an extra layer of protection with him." ”
"Okay, that's it. Luo Tian replied briskly, there is no need to lose anything to come to a powerful boost, no one will shirk such a good thing.
The time of the two days was fleeting, the Duchy of Delmar bordered the Duchy of Rus, Malone arrived in Ross City early this morning, and followed Mu Yi and Luo Ping to Fort Wuco, which was closest to Ross City.
The steam trains of the Western Continent are not accessible to everyone, and cars cannot travel on country roads. The Principality of Rus' took with it many officials and city guards who had gone to take over the city, so they could only take a carriage and go slowly.
The trip went well, and it took them half a day to arrive at Fort Wooko, and under the guidance of the local guards, they passed through the city gate and headed towards the city lord's mansion, where the handover ceremony was held.
Mu Yi sat in the same carriage as Ma Long and Luo Ping. Ma Long and Luo Ping are both the kind of people who are big and informal, and they actually smell like each other and talk happily with each other.
But Mu Yi is not so relaxed, since he entered Woodburg City, his eyelids have been jumping, and he has a bad feeling.
"Shouldn't the handover ceremony be held at the city gate? Why do you want to go to the City Lord's Mansion?" Mu Yisi finally found out this loophole after thinking about it.
"And this is exquisite?" Ma Long's eyes widened and he looked dazed, "I haven't heard of it." ”
Luo Ping also comforted him and said, "Brother Mu is too cautious. There's nothing wrong with handing over at the City Lord's Mansion. Isn't it good to have a big meal after everyone has a big meal and get together and disperse. ”
"If you were to give up a city, give up your official position, real estate, and real estate in this city, would you have the heart to eat and drink, and tell others that you would get together and disperse?" Mu Yi asked rhetorically.
"That's just as well. Luo Ping was speechless, Fort Wooco's change of ownership is no different to the civilians in the city, but those officials are going to withdraw from the city, and their losses will be great, and it is impossible to talk to you calmly.
Mu Yi lifted the curtains of the carriage and carefully observed the situation on the street, and after a long time, he finally found something abnormal.
"Look at the vendors. Mu Yi pointed to the people on the side of the road and said, "What are they wearing on their feet." ”
"It's military boots on your feet!" Luo Ping exclaimed, military boots are military supplies, and it is strictly forbidden to sell them to civilians. But the pedestrians on the side of the road and the helpers outside the store are all wearing the same military boots, so there must be a problem.
"Fortunately, Brother Mu observed carefully. Luo Ping wiped a cold sweat, "It's good that they didn't pay attention to these details and showed their feet." What should we do now, immediately withdraw out of the city?"
"That's the only way," Mu Yi said categorically, "You first tell the horseman to slow down, and then inform these accompanying officials of this news one by one, let them flee out of the city as much as possible, and we will stop these disguised soldiers, as long as the cultivators of the Yilan Kingdom do not come, we can hold on." ”
"Okay," Luo Tian didn't hesitate, and got out of the car according to Mu Yi's method to order everyone. Soon after, the people of the Duchy of Rus' suddenly changed direction, left the carriage and galloped out of the city. The disguised soldiers of the Elan Kingdom on the street were stunned for a moment, without the order of their superiors, they did not dare to pursue rashly, so they could only continue to pretend to be pedestrian vendors, and watched the people of the Principality of Rus run towards the city gate.
Fortunately, not long after entering the city, the people quickly ran out of the city, and it was only then that the defenders in the city received orders to go out of the city in pursuit.
"Run into the fields, hide in the crops, and they won't be able to see them. Mu Yi was experienced in dealing with the enemy, and shouted at the chaotic crowd. These people woke up from a dream and ran to the farmland to take refuge. The Yilan army who came to chase could only abandon these people and chase after Mu Yi and the three people on the official road.
"The Yilan Kingdom is really too deceitful, do you want to wipe us out!I'm going to go to the Five Spirits Academy to appeal!" Luo Fatzi panted and scolded while running, although he had the cultivation of the Jindan period, but the long-term pampering made him sweat profusely when he moved, and he was extremely embarrassed.
"Let's get back first. Mu Yi took a deep breath and pulled Luo Ping out of the distance, "Since the Yilan Kingdom intends to deal with us, there will not only be these ordinary soldiers, there must be monks in ambush in the City Lord's Mansion, I am afraid that they will soon be chased." ”
Mu Yi said this, and the Yilan Kingdom monks over there really arrived. The leader is Charles, who has a deep holiday with him.
Luo Fatzi's cultivation is insufficient, and Mu Yi is burdensome, obviously unable to outrun the other party's spiritual void period monk. He simply didn't run away, pulled Luo Ping and Ma Long to guard in place, and retained some physical and spiritual power.
"I didn't expect you to see the flaw. Charles stepped on the golden sword and broke through the air. The gold monks are very good at manipulating metal, whether it is against the enemy or flying, they are inseparable from the magic weapon made of metal.
Ma Long already didn't like Charles, although the other party was numerous, he was still not afraid, and roared: "With your three indiscriminate methods, how can you hide from Brother Mu's eyes, he used to be a general who led thousands of troops, I don't know how many times stronger than you." ”
"Oh?" said Charles, "I didn't expect you to lead troops into battle, no wonder those pieces of waste weren't designed for you." ”
Mu Yi didn't answer his words, but carefully observed the other party's manpower, counting Charles, there were a total of six spiritual void monks, including a mid-stage spiritual void monk.
"It seems that the foundation of the Yilan Kingdom is indeed very strong, and there are two more monks in the Spirit Void Period than when I was in the Five Spirits Academy. Mu Yi said calmly, now he is already a cultivator in the middle stage of spiritual void, and with Ma Long's help, he is not afraid of the other party.
"That's natural, the kingdom of Ylang is not comparable to your little principality. Charles scoffed, his face full of disdain.
"I just wonder why you can lead so many monks. Mu Yi stared at Charles's eyes, "According to common sense, you must at least be stripped of your title and think about it behind closed doors." If Mu's guess is right, King Charles and Prince Owen are afraid that something bad has happened. ”
"There is vision," Charles raised his eyebrows, not denying it, "Now that I am the king of Ylan, I have the power of a country, do you still want to do the battle of trapped beasts." ”
"The frog at the bottom of the well. Mu Yi chuckled, "Wouldn't it be ridiculous that the rebellious people have lost the hearts of the people, and they still claim to hold the power of a country." But that's very good, our Rus' principality will avenge the king of Ylang today, and get rid of you, the usurper who killed his brother and father, and surely win the hearts and minds of the people of the Ylang Kingdom. ”
Charles's face was gloomy after hearing this, he was of noble birth and never took the commoners under his rule seriously, but in the past few days in power, there have been riots against him in several cities, and some monks in the kingdom who are loyal to the old king Charles have also disobeyed him, which has given him a headache. Now that Mu Yi mentioned this, he was even more furious!
