CHAPTER XXXVII
Ten miles outside Luoyang City, as soon as Mu Jinghong and Jin Qi'er arrived here, they saw several people wearing official uniforms of Tianlu Mansion riding horses, also heading towards Luoyang City.
They've seen three waves along the way.
Mu Jinghong looked strange, the people of Tianlu Mansion gathered in such a large court, could it be that there was something big in Luoyang City? Could it be because of Yan Ting?
Jin Qi'er was also thinking about it, and asked Mu Jinghong: "I remember you said that Yan Ting is a person wanted by Tianlu Mansion, should we be faster?" ”
Mu Jinghong nodded, and carried Jin Qi'er on his back to speed up his pace, and when they arrived not far from Luoyang Chengguan, they found that the gate of Chengguan was closed, and there were many passers-by who wanted to enter the gate.
A burly man shouted in the crowd: "What's the matter with his grandmother? Lao Tzu only left the city in the morning, why is he not allowed to enter now? Not even a notice? ”
Another woman with a baby in her arms also shouted with a sad face: "How can you say that if you don't let in, you won't let in, what the hell is going on, is there something wrong in the city?" ”
The crowd was crowded outside the city gate, Jin Qi'er jumped off Mu Jinghong's back, squeezed through the crowd to the front, only to hear the officers and soldiers guarding the city also helplessly comforted everyone: "We also just received the order, but also forced to helpless, the villagers can wait for a while, maybe it will open soon." ”
A wealthy merchant in a brocade robe in the crowd pointed at the officers and soldiers with his neck high and scolded: "What kind of bullshit order, delay Lao Tzu's business, you will pay me money?" ”
The crowded crowd shouted and scolded one after another, of course these officers and soldiers who only listened to orders could not be appeased, and they themselves were a little puzzled, Luoyang City can be regarded as the most prosperous city in the world, and it is the first time that the city gate is closed in the daytime.
But even if it's a relative of the emperor, it won't lock the city, right?
Jin Qi'er retreated from the crowd, walked to Mu Jinghong's side and said, "Something is wrong in the city, let's go in quickly." ”
They are different from these people, the city wall dozens of zhang high naturally can't stop them, Mu Jinghong just wanted to take her over the wall, when the city gate suddenly opened a small crack, and an official from Tianlu Mansion walked out alone with big strides, shouting at the noisy crowd:
"Noise!"
The sound was like a thunderous explosion, calming everyone down, and when Mu Jinghong saw this person, he suddenly pulled Jin Qi'er to stop, and looked at this official with interest.
"If there is any loud noise, it will be punished as obstructing the government!"
The official showed the wedge on his waist, and the whole person was murderous, and no one would suspect that he was joking.
Of course, Jin Qi'er saw this trick, and probably guessed the identity of this person: "He is from the Murong family, do you recognize who he is?" ”
Mu Jinghong nodded a little mysteriously, and laughed softly: "I not only know who he is, but I have also dealt with him. Then he was surprised and smiled: "How did he end up here?" ”
"Who is he?"
"Murong Ao, the eldest son of the Murong family in the capital."
Everyone knows that the Murong family is in charge of Tianlu Mansion, and Jin Qi'er said, "Will he come for Yan Ting?" ”
Mu Jinghong pulled Jin Qi'er to walk quickly, came to a remote corner of the city wall, and said with an ugly face: "He is a very lazy guy, Yan Ting will not let him run from the capital to Luoyang, unless he follows his father." ”
Jin Qi'er was a little surprised and asked, "You mean that Murong Fengqi, the head of the Murong family, is rising?" Then it is even more unlikely that it is for the sake of Yan Ting. ”
Mu Jinghong nodded, grabbed Jin Qi'er and flew over to the city wall, and said, "Li Chaoqing and Chengjiujiu agreed to fight again in one year. ”
"I know."
"But the Blood Shadow can't wait that long."
Jin Qi'er blinked and exclaimed, "You mean, Murong Fengqi came for Chengjiu Wine?" ”
Mu Jinghong sighed: "Apart from Chengjiu Wine, I can't think of anyone else worthy of the Murong family coming to Luoyang in person, but I'm also curious, if the blood shadow wants to get rid of Chengjiu Wine, why would he let the people of the Murong family take action." ”
Jin Qi'er said, "Maybe the blood shadow doesn't just want to get rid of Chengjiu Wine?" ”
Mu Jinghong nodded: "Yes, Murong's sword is specialized, but Chengjiujiu has only used a sword in recent days." ”
The two thought of a person at the same time, Dugu Xiaoying, who used a sword.
The more Mu Jinghong thought about it, the more panicked he became, and decided to go to Baihualou to find Yan Ting first, and Dugu Xiaoying should also be there.
In the Baihua Building, Dongfang Shenwei didn't say a word, looking at Yan Ting and not knowing what to do,
The jade pendant he gave to Xiaoying was the only one in the world, and it was carved to him by Murong Fengqi himself, and he didn't know that the Murong family's trip was to get rid of Dugu Xiaoying.
Murong Fengqi told him that this trip was for Chengjiujiu, because Murong already knew that Dugu Ruoxiong was killed by Chengjiujiu.
Dongfang Shenwei didn't intend to interfere, the Murong family couldn't kill Chengjiujiu, and with Yan Ting, Chengjiujiu wouldn't kill the Murong family.
His mind is now on Yan Ting's plan, this matter of entering the capital to find the crown princess.
"You're too bold!"
Dongfang Shenwei frowned, even if Yan Ting really had a way to get the crown princess out of the palace, he would never allow Yan Ting to use the crown princess to complete his deeds.
"Do you know that you say enough for me to kill you?"
"I know."
"Then you should stop Cheng Jiujiu, you shouldn't let her tell her about it."
"Because I need your help."
Dongfang Shenwei was stunned, looked at Yan Ting with wide eyes, and asked word by word: "What do you want me to help you?" ”
Yan Ting also said word for word: "To let the crown princess out of the palace, I need your help." ”
"You're looking for death!"
Dongfang Shenwei almost shouted, he hadn't been so out of shape for a long time.
Cheng Jiujiu also stood on Dongfang Shenwei's side and scolded Yan Ting: "That's right, if you make up your mind to find that crazy woman, I will also remove your legs." ”
Yan Ting scratched his head and said with a smile: "If you don't help me, I will let Mu Jinghong sneak into the palace to pass the word for me, you know how ingenious Mu Jinghong's light skills are." ”
Dongfang Shenwei said sharply: "You still say! Believe it or not, I'll kill you right away? ”
Seeing that Dongfang Shenwei was really angry, Cheng Jiujiu jumped to Yan Ting's side again, and shouted, "I don't need you to make a move, I won't let him do this." But his eyes were fixed on Dongfang Shenwei's hands, as long as those hands were raised, she would definitely resist without hesitation.
Dongfang Shenwei kept stepping back and forth, and then he muttered: "Is there no other way than to find the crown princess?" ”
"No, only she can tell me the true identity of the Blood Shadow Sect Master."
Dongfang Shen stomped his feet in a hurry, and finally sighed helplessly, and said, "Do you remember what I said to you the last time you went to the capital." ”
Yan Ting said: "You said that there are not many righteous men like me left in the world, leaving me alive and asking me to stay away from the capital and never step into the capital again." ”
Dongfang Shenwei sighed: "You promised me at the time that you would not enter Beijing again in this life. ”
Yan Ting also sighed: "Now I am no longer the same Yan Ting, and what I want to do is not what I did back then." ”
What Yan Ting is doing is also what Dongfang Shenwei wants to do, the Blood Shadow sect has done many things that Ouchi can't tolerate, but there has been no clue after several years of tracking, Dongfang Shenwei hesitated again and again, and decided to indulge this time.
"My knife is in Dugu's house, I will go to Jinling first, and then I will go back to Beijing to wait for you."
Yan Ting said: "Thank you." ”
Dongfang Shenwei waved his hand, and Cheng Jiujiu exclaimed: "You are the person in charge of the Great Interior, do you really plan to help Yan Ting with this?" ”
Dongfang Shenwei said helplessly: "If I can really get rid of the blood shadow, I don't mind doing such a wrong thing, but only this time." ”
Cheng Jiujiu hurriedly grabbed the pear blossom and pointed at Yan Ting and shouted angrily: "Then I will cut off your leg and see how you go to the capital!" ”
Yan Ting said: "I just want to use her." ”
Dongfang Shenwei stood in place, quietly looking at the pear blossom in Chengjiujiu's hand, this was the most beautiful sword he had ever seen.
Sword?
Dongfang Shenwei's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he suddenly thought of a question: "When did Xiaoying give you this pear blossom?" ”
Cheng Jiujiu was stunned for a moment, and replied: "I borrowed it not long ago, and it will be returned to its original owner in a year at most." ”
"How long ago was it?"
"It's only January."
Dongfang Shenwei was horrified in his heart, looked left and right, and asked, "How long have I been here?" ”
Yan Ting said: "For a moment." ”
The abandoned manor was not far from here, and even an ox cart should have arrived.
Dongfang Shenwei didn't have time to say more, and left quickly with light skills, which was the direction of going to the manor.
Yan Ting was a little surprised, he had never seen Dongfang Shenwei so flustered, but then the person who surprised him even more appeared.
Mu Jinghong appeared in front of him in a hurry, and behind Mu Jinghong, Jin Qi'er was on his back.
Yan Ting wanted to rub his eyes, and so did Chengjiu Wine, because Mu Jinghong came too early.
It wasn't until Mu Jinghong shouted twice that Yan Ting came back to his senses, still shocked: "How did you come back so quickly?" ”
Mu Jinghong scolded angrily: "That crazy man deceived me, Hai Yichuan couldn't go to Yanyun at all, fortunately, he met Jin Qi'er on the road and held Hai Yichuan's life, and now his sister took Hai Yichuan to Jinhua." ”
Jin Qi'er nodded and agreed: "Your friend's life is okay for the time being, but it's Chengjiujiu and Sister Xiaoying, where is Sister Xiaoying?" ”
This is indeed bad news, without the help of Dongfang Shenwei, he must be extremely dangerous alone, Dongfang Shenwei saw Yan Ting's face full of sadness, and said: "I don't know what Hai Yichuan means to you, but I want to remind you that your life does not belong to you until you complete that purpose." ”
Yan Ting smiled bitterly: "I know what I should do, and I won't risk my life without absolute certainty." ”
Dongfang Shenwei didn't say anything more, he vaguely felt that something was wrong in his heart, it was too much of a coincidence that the news of Dugu Sword Saint's death and Hai Yichuan's whereabouts would come at the same time, it seemed that he was intentionally luring him to Yan Ting's side, and he believed that Yan Ting also knew this.
The two were silent for a long time, Yan Ting suddenly laughed, and asked, "I want to drink now, do you want to accompany me to get drunk and rest?" ”
Dongfang Shenwei shook his head, and Yan Ting smiled: "It's too boring to drink alone, if you don't drink with me, then I'll find someone else to accompany me." ”
Yan Ting came to the laundry room with two jars of wine, but there was no figure he wanted to see in the room, Yan Ting looked at the empty surroundings and sighed, sat on the ground at will, opened a jar and poured a sip, the familiar spicy sensation stimulated him all over.
He thought he was used to being alone, but now he needed a stranger to talk to him and listen to him.
After pouring another big mouthful, Yan Ting's mouth was chirping, and he suddenly said softly: "What are you still hiding there?" Ready to wait until I'm drunk to steal my money? ”
