Chapter 23, the capital city is full of dangers

Previous Chapter

Seeing this, Wei Shuming ordered the sergeant to shoot arrows in an attempt to stop the paper kite, but he didn't expect the speed of the paper kite to be extremely fast, and the army in the capital city had never seen such a body, and they stood for a while, all of them were surprised!

When it was too late, the paper kite short sword was already pressed against Wei Shuming's throat, and said, "City Lord Wei, do you still have something to say at this time?" ”

Wei Shuming was shocked, but after all, the lord of a city, who has been in power for a long time, immediately calmed down after being shocked, and said: "This official is the lord of a city, the official of the imperial court, and the official of the feudal territory, you dare to be so presumptuous as a guard, do you want to rebel?" ”

The paper kite said: "I only listen to Childe!" ”

Wei Shuming said loudly: "Xinglin Hou, you connived at your subordinates to be so presumptuous and disrespectful to your officials, do you want to rebel?" ”

Xuan Mo said: "Lord Wei City, you are serious, An Ning Hou is on the side, the Central Committee is clear at a glance, I am equal to the court official, you wantonly provoke first, it is not a matter of the Hou, and you are just an official of the court, representing the court is not fake, but such a fox and a fake tiger is also a shame for the community, and dare to say "rebellion" Yunyun? After a slight pause, he said, "Could it be that the City Lord of Wei thinks that it is your own country?" ”

Wei Shuming couldn't deal with it for a while, so he could only talk about him left and right, and said: "The vertical mouth is sharp, this official doesn't fight with you, this official advises you to know the current affairs, don't set yourself on fire!" ”

Xuan Mo said: "The city lord of Wei is afraid that he does not know the current affairs, you are the fish and meat, I am the sword, the reason why you threaten the marquis is that you are afraid in your heart, since I dare to put the knife on your neck, I must be fearless, what do you think, the city lord of Wei?" ”

Wei Shuming was shocked in his heart, but he just pretended to be calm and said: "Xinglinhou is so reckless, this Hou will accompany him to the end, I only hope that Xinglinhou will not regret it!" ”

Xuan Mo didn't speak, just made a gesture to the paper kite, only to see that the tip of the paper kite's sword was close to Wei Shuming's neck, slightly broken skin, with red bloodstains, although it was slightly broken, but the pain was extremely obvious, Wei Shuming only understood at this moment that what Xuan Mo said was true, if he insisted on going his own way, the outcome was unpredictable, death was approaching, Wei Shuming lost his previous calmness and calmness, his body trembled slightly, and said: "Xinglin Hou, what this official said is true, you and I are officials in the same dynasty, so the sword and the soldiers face each other Won't it hurt the harmony?" ”

Seeing that Wei Shuming's tone softened, Xuan Mo knew in his heart that it was an expected result. It's just a little disappointed, but also a little emotional, there are too many people in the world who are lost in the world, or for fame and fortune, or for the sake of lordship, once there is greed and hatred, people will have no integrity, and there is no bottom line. At the beginning, he may have held the original intention of serving the country and benefiting the people, but his dream turned into a dream, this kind of person is hateful but pitiful, but who can guarantee that he will not go with the flow and not be swayed by the world!

Xuan Mo said: "Ben Hou didn't mean to offend, just to travel by road, since the Lord of Wei City talked about harmony, then express his sincerity." ”

Wei Shuming hurriedly shouted: "Quickly open the city gate and welcome the two marquis into the city." Although it is embarrassing and indignant at the moment, the situation forces me to make this choice.

The city gate was wide open, and the paper kite did not have the intention of letting go of him, Wei Shuming said: "The sincerity of this official has been revealed, doesn't Xinglinhou express his sincerity?" ”

Xuan Mo said: "My sincerity is that I have the final say, isn't the City Lord of Wei always doing things like this?" The weak are not qualified to talk about conditions, and today Ben Hou will let you experience such a taste. ”

Wei Shuming was indignant but helpless, but Xuan Mo said: "I'm a little tired today, I want to stay in the City Lord's Mansion for one night, the City Lord has no opinion, right?" ”

Wei Shuming gritted his teeth and said, "No opinion, if Master Hou likes to stay longer, you can do it." ”

Xuan Mo said: "I'm afraid it will disappoint you if you stay longer, and today happens to be a little tired, otherwise how dare I take An Ninghou to your mansion to be aggrieved." ”

An Ninghou had mixed feelings in his heart, thinking that you should find something by yourself and don't take me, I didn't say a word and was dragged into this troubled water by you!

Wei Shuming was even more angry in his heart, what does it mean to be aggrieved in my house? It's just that he can't say it clearly, so he can only pretend not to hear, Xuan Mo said: "The city lord will lead the way, don't worry, let's go slowly, it's the first time to come to the capital city, I heard that the people are outstanding, and today I am fortunate to have the city lord to lead the way to explain, it must have a special taste." ”

An Ninghou said loudly: "After all, the City Lord of Wei is the Lord of a City, I am afraid that such humiliation is not appropriate, Lord Xinglin Hou has a lot of reasons why not let go of the City Lord of Wei first, and then make a calculation?" ”

After all, Xuan Mo is not an arrogant and domineering person, and he did it deliberately, so that others could see his domineering, although Wei Shuming said that it was difficult, after all, there was no more fault, so he said: "Since An Ninghou said so, then it will be exposed, I don't know if the city lord is willing to reveal it?" ”

Wei Shuming said: "This official has no intention of offending, just acting according to the rules, and at this moment he has broken the rules, so naturally there is a public opinion, and it is useless to make calculations, this matter must be reported to the court!" ”

Xuan Mo glanced at Wei Shuming, didn't say anything, the group had their own minds to walk on the streets of the capital city, the thousand-year-old capital was prosperous, but they didn't want to be sophisticated!

When he arrived at the city lord's mansion and arranged a stop, An Ninghou asked Xuan Mo: "Why are you staying here, today you offended Wei Shuming, and you are in someone else's territory, I'm afraid it's not good!" ”

Xuan Mo said: "I've never thought about it, but it doesn't matter, what I want is not good, I guess there is someone behind him, so let him use it up!" ”

An Ninghou knew that Xuan Mo's martial arts were strong and there were ancient trees to protect him, but after all, it was not good to kill in his own city, and all kinds of doubts lingered in his heart, and it was elusive for a while!

It's night, the sky is high and the clouds are light, the stars are dazzling, the insects and cicadas are silent, such a beautiful scenery is intoxicating, suddenly a few figures flew into the wall, leaning towards Xuan Mo's room, Gu Mu's eyes were closed, leaning comfortably against the wall, the paper kite had already found the changes in the surrounding qi, leaning in front of Xuan Mo, Xuan Mo was calm, holding a book in his hand, leisurely flipping, only to hear a "whoosh" sound breaking through the sky, a willow leaf flying knife flew towards Xuan Mo, and a foot in front of Xuan Mo was gently clamped by the paper kite's fingers, not moving at all, I saw her jade wrist flick lightly, throwing it out, and there was a scream of "ah" outside the door!

Gu Mu was still lying lazily, and Xuan Mo was also staring at the book in his hand, as if the two of them didn't notice, but a shout suddenly came from outside the door: "There is an assassin, arrest the assassin!" "The commotion that came from outside the door with the chanting, and the metallic chimes of the armor as the soldiers moved, was especially loud and powerful in the night!

Xuan Mo put down the book and listened to the movement outside and looked outside slowly, his eyes narrowed slightly, only listening to the formation of troops outside, someone shouted: "Dare to assassinate the envoy, it is really daring, the crossbowmen are ready, don't worry about killing!" ”

The sergeants shouted, "Command! ”

After that, I could only hear the "whoosh" arrow sound cut through the sky, shooting sharply towards Xuan Mo's room, at this moment Gu Mu suddenly jumped up, standing in front of Xuan Mo and the paper kite, just standing quietly, only to see that all the arrows could not advance a single inch when they reached three feet in front of Gu Mu's body, all of them were suspended in the air, and then fell one by one, the scene was spectacular!

After a long time, there was no movement outside, only someone was heard approaching, and the door was kicked open with a "bang", only to see a general standing at the door, seeing the complete arrows all over the ground, his eyes widened, and he was extremely shocked!

Wei Shuming also ran over in a hurry, and when he saw the scene in the house, he was also shocked, but he quickly reacted and said: "This official is derelict in his duties, so that Hou Ye is frightened, I didn't expect that someone would dare to openly assassinate!" ”

Xuan Mo looked at Wei Shuming with a smile and said, "Thank you for the protection of the city lord, let me wait safe and sound!" "Protection is a very important word!

Wei Shuming said: "This is the duty of this official, but fortunately, the assassins have all been hanged, and they wanted to leave them alive to ask the mastermind, but they swore to resist to the death, and they could only be strangled, and fortunately they came in time and did not hurt the Hou Ye!" ”

Xuan Mo said: "The City Lord of Wei is too polite, today the City Lord is just in time, otherwise I am afraid that I will die without a place to be buried!" "Let's say it, there is a smile on the corner of his mouth, Wei Shuming saw it, and he felt shocked!

Xuan Mo didn't pierce it, nor did he delve into it, as if this matter was really as Wei Shuming said, and then looked at the arrows all over the ground, and said: "And the old Wei City Lord cleaned up, I'll rest early, and I'll be on my way tomorrow!" ”

Wei Shuming said: "This is natural" said that while arranging for the army to pack up the arrows, he also invited Xuan Mo and others to go to the main hall to have tea and wait, but An Ning Hou did not appear from beginning to end, and no one asked!

After everyone finished sitting, Wei Shuming took the lead and said: "It is the fault of the official that Xinglinhou is frightened tonight, the bandits in the city still dare to assassinate, and the journey will not be peaceful, it is better to stay in the city for a few days, and wait for the official to send a sentry to find out the road ahead and then make plans, so that it will be safe, and the official will also explain!" ”

Xuan Mo said: "The Wei City Lord is so polite, then he has decided like this, I have just arrived in the capital city and experienced the elegance of the thousand-year-old capital!" ”

Wei Shuming said: "So it's the best! Everyone exchanged pleasantries, and then went back to rest, and there was no word for the night!

In the next few days, everyone stayed in the capital city, the places of interest inside and outside the city, the places of recreation and recreation were all over the footprints, and finally embarked on the road of the envoy to Daxia again, sent out of the city, Wei Shuming said: "Although the sentinel has done an investigation, I am afraid that there will be an omission after all, it is better to let the guards in the city escort the two marquis for a ride." ”

Xuan Mo glanced at Wei Shuming lightly and said, "Since the city lord is so kind, I will say the word of the city lord!" ”

Wei Shuming saw Xuan Mo's gaze, and his heart tightened for no reason, for some reason, although Xuan Mo said that he was young, he gave Wei Shuming an inexplicable pressure, and his plain eyes seemed to penetrate people's hearts!

Everyone said goodbye, Xuan Mo and his entourage went on the road, thirty miles out of the capital city in the south, only to see the dense forest and bamboo, and the commander of the guard of the capital city said: "The front is Huating Mountain, the mountain road is steep and can only be walked, we often practice the battle formation here, and I am willing to lead the way in front of the guide!" ”

After saying that, he entered first, and walked about two miles, only to see hundreds of guards disappear into the dense forest in the blink of an eye, without a trace, Xuan Mo's eyes narrowed slightly, and the ancient wood did not return to the light and cloudy appearance of the past!

Only hear the sound of "whooshing" arrows breaking through the air should be whistling with the mountain wind, this time it is no longer an ordinary bow and arrow, but the three bows and bed crossbows used in the siege of the city, the power is huge, even if it is as strong as an ancient wood, it can not be hard-connected, do not think about it, everyone scattered to defend, the accompanying sergeants are destined to have limited ability, some have fallen, the situation is critical!

Precisely:

Only then did I get out of the wolf's den and enter Tiger Mountain, I don't know how difficult the road ahead is!

I don't know what the lives of Xuan Mo and the others are, and listen to the following!
