Chapter Seventy-Five: A Moment of Miscalculation
307
At that moment, the queen told everyone about the matter, but did not mention that they wanted to spread rumors that Yijiu was the son of Long Zixi and the queen.
When everyone heard this, they all felt that the queen's move was indeed not calm enough, but how could everyone accuse the queen?
After thinking for a while, Jin Gong said:
"Don't worry, the queen doesn't worry, the other party just suspects that it's you, and there is no evidence, it's a big deal to give him a death and not admit it, and see what he can do?"
The queen shook her head:
"If this is the only thing, I am not afraid. Alas, I then made even more mistakes, and did something rashly, for fear that they would have caught it. ”
The crowd was puzzled, and the queen continued:
"After returning to the palace and changing clothes, the more I thought about it, the more I felt that the matter was urgent, and I wanted to discuss it with a few of you, but I was smart, and I only said that the less people knew about this matter, the better, and I thought that the goal of the 'Five Elements' was too big, and it was inconvenient to do this.
So he wrote a letter to Shen Hou and the prince overnight, roughly saying that now the prince has been released, and Bao Xi has given birth to a son, and he is afraid that there will be a matter of abolishing the elder and the young. Please Shen Hou come to Beijing, see the face of King You, confess his crimes, say that the prince has known his mistakes, after a year of lessons from Shen Hou, change the past, please King You, allow the prince to return to Beijing. Wait a minute.
At the end of the letter, he wrote, "Don't worry about this matter first."
After writing, a shrewd Gong'e was sent to Xishen overnight.
"But,...... Alas! ”
Everyone knew that there must have been an accident, and they did not ask much, but listened to the queen:
"I sent to Simon this morning to inquire, but I was told that no one had left the palace last night.
"I think, something must have happened to that Gong'e, eighty percent fell into the hands of Yin Qiu and others, so, wouldn't it be a big deal?
"I panicked for a while, and I couldn't hide it from you anymore, so I came in a hurry."
Everyone listened to it and their hearts sank.
Long Zixi immediately stood up:
"That being the case, without further ado. I'll be leaving right away! ”
The queen said:
"Exactly, I think Yin Qiu and the others must have strengthened their vigilance after my trouble last night, I'm afraid that if you don't leave at this time, you won't be able to leave!"
Seeing Long Zixi saying that he would leave immediately, the fire cloud said:
"Wait!"
Tiptoeing out of the house.
After a long while, Huo Yunqi came back and whispered to everyone:
"I went out to investigate just now, and found that the number of guards has increased significantly, especially on the right road, which can be regarded as a post at five steps and a sentry at ten steps. But how? ”
Fang Sange said:
"Now it seems that it is not easy to walk. Before they were completely blocked, we went over the wall and went out of the palace to buy horses! ”
Say no more at the moment.
Long Zixi handed over the shoulder to Huo Yunqi and asked him to return it to Bao Xi when he got it.
He Fang Sange brought enough silver taels, and changed into a subordinate clothes, and he didn't need to be accompanied by the "Five Elements", touched the north wall, and took advantage of people's inattention to come out of the wall.
I bought two horses in the city, got out of Hojing smoothly, and went to the West Shen Kingdom on horseback.
308
Let's say that Long Zixi and Fang Jie beat their horses and galloped wildly, and when it was dark, they came to the Xiyu realm.
Long Zixi finally recovered from a serious injury, and felt a little tired, plus the two horses were ordinary horses, with average foot strength, and they ran for two hours in one go, and they were already panting "suddenly", so they discussed with Fang Sange to find a place to rest.
Fang Sange said:
"It's only ten miles and eight miles away from Xiyu City, so let's hurry into the city and rest."
At the moment, the horses were urged to hurry, but the two horses were tired and could not run fast.
I had to let the horse go slowly.
In the middle of the line, I suddenly heard the people behind me shouting horses.
The two looked back and saw a group of people, about forty or fifty people, carrying torches, hurrying over.
The two hurriedly whipped and urged the horses, but the two horses barked "suddenly", how could they run quickly?
In the blink of an eye, the group of men and horses caught up.
Under the light of the torches, I saw a person in the middle with a white face and a long face, three locks of beard, and a long sword, who was Mu Wan, the head of the Tianshan Sword Sect.
Long Zixi was on fire when he saw it, and it turned out that he was not dead.
Why did you come so quickly?
It turned out that after the queen broke into Yin Qiu's residence at night, although she escaped, her whip showed her tracks, and Ji Gang analyzed it with Yin Qiu and others, and it was expected that she must be the queen.
That night, a secret whistle was set up, and the original also focused on the "Five Elements", but he didn't expect to intercept a palace e.
That Gong'e was taken to Yin Qiu's residence, first with a hard mouth, and deduced that she just wanted to go out of the palace to visit a relative who was critically ill, but Yin Qiu searched for the letter from her, and she could no longer deny it.
Yin Qiu was so smart that he had to report to King You overnight, but King You was drunk, so he endured waiting until dawn to enter the palace again.
Youwang freshened up, had breakfast, grinded and grinded, and only allowed him to see him at noon.
As a result, Long Zixi was able to escape first.
When King You heard this, he was furious, so he ordered the queen to be imprisoned and Long Zixi arrested at the same time.
Yin Qiu and the others arrived at the harem and did not catch Long Zixi, so they sent Mu Wan to lead people to chase after them.
Long Zixi and Third Brother Fang eagerly bought ordinary horses, so they were caught up after only fifty or sixty miles.
Let's say that Na Mu Wan restrained the horse and ordered someone to surround Long Zixi and the two.
He himself stared at Long Zixi for a long time, and suddenly laughed:
"Long Zixi! Sure enough, as Lord Yin expected, do you want to abscond? ”
Long Zixi remained silent:
"Master Mu, in order to defeat the five dogs for the King of You, the King of You has decreed that everything will not be investigated, how can he be guilty and abscond?"
Mu Wan burst into laughter again:
"Not bad. This was the case before today, but the situation has changed since today. You colluded with the queen, colluded with Shen Rong, and wanted to do wrong, it was King You who ordered you to take you. Don't you know?"
Long Zixi was shocked in his heart, and said in his heart:
"Could it be that something happened to the queen?"
But he sneered:
"The queen's punishment has also been lifted, and I have always been friends with the queen, so how can there be any collusion or non-collusion?"
Mu Wan snorted:
"Well, maybe you slipped away fast, but you really don't know. I might as well make it clear to you below. In the afternoon of today, King You has issued an order to abolish the queen and the crown prince, and at the same time issued an order to take you. It's just a pity that we are one step late and let you escape from the royal city. After the order came after him, don't you get off your horse and be bound now? ”
Long Zixi smiled coldly:
"Dozens of you want to take me?"
As he spoke, he suddenly coughed a few times.
Mu Wan smiled:
"Long Zixi, we know that your martial arts are world-renowned, and the fight against the five dogs that day is even more admirable!
Originally, Yang Pu and Ji Gang also wanted to come together, but they were stopped by Zaixia.
"Thinking about it, you have just recovered from a serious injury, and you have some abdominal pain, yes or no?
"In this case, I, Mu Wan, with the strength of forty or fifty people, can't hold you anymore, it's really a rice bucket!"
Long Zixi sighed and raised his hand to wipe the corners of his mouth. Road:
"Master Mu. There's something I don't know, can I tell you? ”
Mu Wan said:
"What do you say? Tell you, don't want to play any tricks. Brothers, keep an eye on me! ”
Those people said yes, they all clenched their knives and guns, staring at Long Zixi and the two.
Longzi West Road:
"I already know that it was Yin Qiu who poisoned me. It's just that I don't understand, since you want to harm me, why don't you just poison me to death? This makes me hurt for a while every day, and I don't torture people! ”
Mu Wan snorted and said:
"According to the meaning of the head of this family, of course, it will kill you all at once.
"It's just that at that time, the Youwang was worried about the ghost side, and it is estimated that only you can defeat the big dog, so the master of the Lord Yu can't poison you all at once.
"For this reason, Master Yin used this slow medicine to slowly torture you, and after three or five months, even if you don't die, you will definitely fall into the root of the disease, and your strength will be greatly reduced.
"Wouldn't it be easy to deal with you then?"
Long Zixi nodded:
"Sure enough! It's just that...... Only, did you think that there is...... Is there a doctor to poison me?"
When he spoke, he was a little out of breath.
Mu Wan smiled weirdly:
"Lord Yin is very smart, how can you not know?
"It has long been calculated that there must be a physician who knows that he has been poisoned by mercury.
"Therefore, I have already paid the Tai Yi to let you take egg whites for ten days, this dose is half of the normal, which can only reduce the pain, but cannot remove the roots.
"Otherwise, why do you have blood in your mouth today?"
Hearing this, Third Brother Fang looked sideways.
Sure enough, when he saw blood hanging from the corner of Long Zixi's mouth, he couldn't help but be shocked:
Could it be that Long Zixi's old injury has recurred, or as Mu Wan said, the poison of mercury has not been completely resolved?
However, the old lady clearly told her to take egg whites for at least 20 days, so why did she say that she only took them for 10 days?
was confused by himself, but he listened to Longzi Xidao:
"Hmph. Rao is so, I ...... Shall I fear you, come...... Come on, if you are not afraid of death, come and get me! ”
As he spoke, he drew his long sword, but his body shook a little.
Mu Wan smiled:
"Long Zixi, now that the poison is happening again, look at you and almost fall off the horse. I advise you to lay down your arms and surrender obediently, and the king of Youwang will remember your skill in fighting dogs, and maybe you will be spared death! ”
Long Zixi let out a long sigh:
"That's it. I'd rather die than surrender to you!" ”
As he spoke, the horizontal sword was about to kill himself.
Third Brother Fang was so anxious that he shouted:
"Brother, no!"
309
This time it was also much beyond Mu Wan's expectations.
Just as he hesitated, he saw Long Zixi's body fly up from his horse, and a harrier turned over in the air, passing over everyone's heads, but his body fell on Mu Wan's horse, and behind Mu Wan, the sword was already across Mu Wan's neck.
When the people shouted, they wanted to save each other, but how could they save them?
turned to attack the third brother again, but heard Long Zixi shout:
"Don't move!"
Everyone stopped, but they lost their minds for a while, and they all looked at Mu Wan.
Mu Wan was already frightened and depressed, and shouted in a lost voice:
"Brother, don't do it! There is something to say, but to speak! ”
When Long Zixi heard him say this, he felt disdainful and said loudly:
"I don't want your life, I just let you go!"
Mu Wan said:
"Good, good. I'll just let you go! ”
Long Zixi shouted:
"Let them free four horses!"
As soon as Mu Wan waved his hand, several soldiers had already dismounted and led the four horses over.
When Third Brother Fang saw it, he jumped forward, jumped from his own horse to another horse, and reached out to take the reins.
But seeing that Long Zixi rose up and grabbed Mu Wan with his left hand, he also jumped forward, got on another horse, but pressed Mu Wan on a horse next to him, and the sword was still forced at Mu Wan's throat.
Many of these soldiers saw Long Zixi fighting dogs that day, and they were already very impressed by Long Zixi, and they were even more admired when they saw Long Zixi showing his magic skills.
Some simply scolded Mu Wanlai secretly in their hearts.
Longzi West Road:
"Don't worry, I won't hurt your boss. Now please urge the horses to go back, and if you go slowly, eat me a dart!" ”
Everyone hesitated.
With a wave of his left hand, Long Zixi struck a bone dart and hit the head of a horse, which was in pain, screamed, spread its hooves and ran towards the way it came.
When the rest of the horses saw it, they did not need to be urged by their masters, and they ran with them.
After a while, but seeing the dust everywhere, the torch light became smaller and smaller, until it was gone.
Long Zixi moved his sword:
"Okay, now I will ask Master Mu to give us a ride, and when we get to Xiyu City, we will naturally let you go."
After speaking, the two urged the horses to come to Xiyu City.
Third Brother Fang shouted as he walked:
"Brother Zixi, you, are you okay?"
Long Zixi smiled:
"The little brother is naturally fine. If the junior brother doesn't do this, how can Master Mu let down his vigilance? Just biting the tip of the tongue and squeezing out some blood, it also hurts a little! Hehe. ”
When Mu Wan heard this, he knew that he had been fooled.
I regret it, but I can't think about it.
It turned out that the old lady doctor did receive Yin Qiu's secret order to reduce the amount of medicine by half to detoxify Long Zixi.
But it was the dragon son Xili who beat the five dogs, and it had already caused a sensation in the capital, which one didn't know?
The old lady admired the loyal man of Longzi Sinai, how could he do such an unrighteous thing?
Even at the risk of his life, he still administered the medicine according to the amount.
But no one knows about this verse.
Another thing, that Yin Qiu is not a doctor, and he doesn't know that he can also use arsenic antidote to remove the roots, and he doesn't know that Long Zixi has already obtained the antidote from the immortals in the Western Regions, and he has already cleaned up the poison.
The old lady doctor later saw that Ho Jing had changed, and left the capital under the pretext of leaving the capital, went incognito in a remote area, and saved a lot of people, and lived to the end of eighty.
Besides, Long Zixi and the two urged the horses to hurry up, and they would arrive in a while after more than ten miles.
Seeing that when he was about to arrive at the Xiyu City Gate, Long Zixi ordered Mu Wan and put it on the side of the road.
Suddenly remembered that this Mu Wan trafficked women and children and caused a lot of evil, how could he be spared like this?
He jumped off his horse and slapped Namuwan the back.
Na Mu Wan snorted and opened her mouth in pain.
But it was abolished by Long Zixi's palm.
After that, Long Zixi jumped on the horse, entered Xiyu City with Third Brother Fang, and found an inn for a full meal.
He fed the four horses enough grain and grass, but he didn't dare to stay in the store, endured the fatigue, rode the four horses alternately, continued to hurry, and finally returned to Xishen before dawn.
Those Mu Wan's subordinates let the horses run for a while, and ran thirty or forty miles before they took the horses.
After thinking about it, he went back to Ma again to look for it, and went to the gate of Xiyu City, but he didn't find Mu Wan.
When I entered Xiyu City, I couldn't find it.
Helpless, everyone had to simply eat a meal and rushed back to Hojing to report the news.
Why can't you find Mu Wan?
But it was Mu Wan lying outside the city gate, but he was encountered by a few idlers.
When those people saw that Mu Wan had money, they actually had the idea of robbing him.
Those people robbed Mu Wan of his money, but they were afraid of failure, so they simply killed Mu Wan and buried him in the forest by the roadside.
That Mu Wan was pointed to the acupoint by Long Zixi, and his martial arts were abolished, so he was irresistible.
This villain finally got the result of a guest death in a foreign land and no news from him.
