Chapter 9: Voices on the mountain road
Before going to Eastern Liao City to meet His Majesty the Emperor.
Su Mu and Mo Qianhe still learned a strange news from Jia Shending.
When His Majesty entered the Eastern Liao City, he secretly entered the city.
When he was in the Eastern Liao Pass, the emperor even issued an order to him to hide the news that the emperor had entered the Eastern Liao City.
And as the war on the Arar Mountains gradually came to an end.
Lu Guogong and other rescued armies and even the powerhouses of all sects did not know where His Majesty the Emperor had gone.
They spied on information from the Snow Country.
It seems that the Emperor was not captured by the Snow Country, let alone beheaded by the Snow Country.
But strangely.
There is no news of His Majesty the Emperor's entry into the customs in the nine towns around the city.
It was the head of the two factions that finally escorted His Majesty the Emperor to break through the siege of Leman Mountain, the Candlelight Star Mountain and the Zhaoshan Heng Faction, and they didn't know where His Majesty went.
In just a few days.
There was a boiling sound in the Great Zhou army.
Some people even say that His Majesty the Emperor was injured by the Emperor of the Snow Country, encountered a big demon on the top of the Yalar Mountains, and died.
However, such rumors, it is said that after Lu Guogong, the Duke of Hubei State, beheaded several soldiers, no one dared to talk about it.
On the way to the city of Eastern Liao.
Su Mu and Mo Qianhe couldn't help but analyze.
"Lu Guogong was defeated at first, and Xu Shengnian's entire army was annihilated, which was already strange,"
Su Mu speculated and said: "The emperor deliberately hid his traces and did not reveal whether he was dead, maybe he had already noticed some moths in the country. ”
They have the information that they have been given.
Naturally, this aspect was immediately associated with it.
Mo Qianhe was noncommittal and said: "So what you mean is that Your Majesty deliberately faked his death to see if there would be other movements in the court." ”
"It's not impossible, and I think it's highly likely."
"In that case, should we personally tell Your Majesty what Senior Du said?"
"Let's see, maybe Your Majesty has other intentions?"
The emperor's heart is unpredictable, and this matter involves two major sects among the ten holy lands, and there is even a dean level among the holy lands.
They don't have any empirical evidence in their hands, Du Shengyi is just a follower of the Demon Sect, where will there be much convincing.
At that time, it would not be unjust to say that they have no basis and no basis to disturb the government's program.
"Well," Mo Qianhe did not refute this.
Now the war has come to an end.
The siege of Mount Lemmon failed, and it was difficult for the Snow Country to retake Qiye Lake.
After all, Eguo Gong has now completed the deployment of the military formation around Qiye Lake.
The next war, which is enough to shake the whole country, should not break out.
And the situation that Du Shengyi said before did not happen.
If it happens later.
Da Zhou also has enough strength to deal with it.
......
......
Under the leadership of Jia Shending's henchmen.
Su Mu and the others were asked to change their faces before they entered the city.
Then he took them both to an inn in the city.
This inn is not very tall, it can't be more ordinary.
The emperor also had the pride to charter the entire inn, and only Mo Qian rented a few rooms with them.
When Su Mu and the two entered it.
It was found that the emperor no longer had the dark dragon robe on his body, only a piece of clothing worn by ordinary merchants.
At this moment, the emperor looks like a businessman walking outside.
But Su Mu found out.
The old eunuch who was waiting by the emperor's side was nowhere to be found.
Tan Rusu informed.
It turned out that the old eunuch had been sent back to Chaoge, but as for what to do, they didn't know.
These days come up.
The emperor only arranged for Wen Daoyan to walk in the city of Eastern Liao to understand the people here.
Wen Daoyan was very serious.
Day and night, I sorted out what I got and played it.
At this moment, the emperor was looking at Wen Daoyan's report, with a slight smile on his face.
"The courtiers Mo Qianhe, the ministers Su Mu..."
Su Mu and the two of them, who were about to salute, were stopped by the emperor.
"Since I'm back, I'll pack up and prepare to go back to Beijing with me,"
The emperor closed the official letter in his hand and said: "You should have learned something from Jia Aiqing, so on this trip we will pretend to be merchants who go south to the court, you two are family members, and Xiao Lu'er will be my righteous daughter." ”
"Couple?" Tan Rusu raised her eyebrows, quite reluctantly.
She hadn't heard the old emperor have such an arrangement before.
"Miss Tan doesn't want to pretend to be a couple with Wen Aiqing,"
The emperor looked over and said very considerately: "In that case, then Miss Tan and Su Aiqing pretend to be husband and wife?" ”
"Your Majesty, she doesn't want to, and you can't break us up," Su Mu said angrily.
Wen Daoyan was really a little afraid that the emperor would let Mo Qian and him pretend to be a couple, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to pretend to be a couple with the little junior sister." ”
The emperor glanced at him and said with a smile: "I see that you are not willing to pretend, you still want to pretend to be real." ”
Wen Daoyan did not dare to deceive the king.
So he lowered his head and did not speak.
Tan Rusu frowned.
Why do you want to pretend to be a couple?
She couldn't help but scold in her heart: "Wen Daoyan, I'm afraid you're not a fool." ”
......
......
A carriage slowly left Dongliao City.
The route to the south was chosen by the emperor, and it was all a remote path.
And the emperor didn't allow them to use any Dao method to speed up, so they could only return all the way south like this.
Tan Rusu was a little reluctant to do this.
But in the face of the emperor's holy decree, she was not easy to refute.
And she always thinks about Wen Daoyan and Mo Qianyou's feelings.
So she won't really quarrel with the emperor.
The emperor naturally didn't tell Su Mu about them, the reason why he was like this, only said that he had been fighting for half his life, but he had been in the palace for most of the time, and he always wanted to appreciate the scenery of the territory he had conquered.
In this regard, Su Mu did not believe it.
A few days later.
Su Mu and his party walked between the mountain roads where they were hunting in the cold wind.
There is a lot of snow on both sides, but the surrounding mountains are lush with trees.
It was noon.
It's time to bury the pot and make the meal.
The carriage stopped, and the emperor stepped down from the carriage to admire his great rivers and mountains.
Wen Daoyan began to set up the boiler.
This way of cooking like a mortal is presided over by Wen Daoyan all the way.
In fact, it is very simple for monks to make fire and eat these things.
But the emperor said that it was not a meal cooked by firewood, and it had no soul.
The emperor could not cook, but he could gather firewood.
Yes, the dignified emperor also went to collect firewood in person, and he was still very active, and Wen Daoyan couldn't stop him.
Even the emperor has ended, and Su Mu and the others naturally don't want to continue to sit.
And when they were gathering firewood in the woods.
In the deep forest, suddenly a flock of cold trumpeting birds fluttered into the sky, as if frightened.
The scattered Su Mu people looked at each other.
That was the direction in which the emperor was.
The emperor's side was originally followed by Lu Lu, but he was ordered by the emperor to leave.
The emperor said that it was enough for him to pick up firewood on a road alone, and let Lu Lu go somewhere else.
The next moment.
There was the sound of a tree branch breaking.
On the mountain road, Wen Daoyan, who was cutting mutton on the cutting board, picked up the kitchen knife in his hand and flew into the forest.
......
......
"Emperor Lao'er,"
A pitch-black figure stepped out from behind the trees.
I can't see the other party's facial features, and the other party is like a life form condensed by a cloud of black gas.
And the other party's body is also wearing a black robe with a hidden atmosphere.
Even if the other party appeared in front of the emperor, it seemed that he was still in the dark, giving people an eerie and terrifying feeling.
With two daggers in his hands, he walked step by step towards the emperor who had fallen to the ground.
"You know, I've been following you for days,"
The strange black-robed man seemed to be venting his hard work, "I am hidden in the depths of the dark earth, and I have not even breathed a breath of fresh air, all thanks to you!" ”
Around the emperor, the dry firewood was scattered all over the ground.
The Emperor seemed to be irreparably wounded, and he backed back with his hands on the ground.
"What Your Majesty said is really good, you can't do it anymore, even if you return to your own territory,"
The black-robed man slowly stretched out his hands, and the dagger continued to rotate between his palms, "Since you don't claim that you are still alive to the outside world, I think you also expect that you will eventually die in my hands, and in this case, I will fulfill you." ”
The emperor leaned on the trunk of a tree.
He was calm, but also tired, and just said, "You're a Black Serb." ”
The Herzegovines, a group that fits perfectly with the night.
Assassination is the absolute professional advantage brought about by their physical structure.
Ages.
There are countless strong people who have died at the hands of the good Black Serbs.
Exactly because of this.
The Black Serbs have been slaughtered many times by the strong.
In today's world, there are very few Herzegovines.
"It's good to recognize it, you once ordered the cleanup of the killer organization in Shenzhou, and my father died under your butcher's knife."
He was furious.
The dagger swirling in his palm made a rapid sonic boom.
The next moment.
He waved it up.
The two daggers were like arrows from the string, and they went straight to the emperor's door.
The Emperor closed his eyes, as if he had accepted his fate.
Sonorous.
A sound of Jin Ge striking was heard.
The Taisu Immortal Sword fell from the sky.
Accurately stopped two daggers, and then stood three feet in front of the emperor.
Some people died, but not completely......
