Chapter 272 If you want to take it, you must give it first
"Footwork."
Mu Huai'an stood up straight, "When the assassin was murdered just now, you dodged for a while, I have seen your footwork more than once, so I can naturally see it at a glance." ”
Shen Lingxi's heart was suddenly shocked.
Her footwork to dodge attacks was learned from a reborn soul from a revenant.
That is the other party's unique footwork, it is a life-saving mastery, Mu Huaian has known her for so long, it is not surprising that she has seen it.
"With just one footwork, you can guess that I'm a corpse?"
Mu Huai'an smiled and pretended to be bland: "I heard that after you came down from the holy mountain overnight, you 'lost your memory', so I made a special trip to find Yun Yu. ”
"Yun Yu told you?" Shen Lingxi asked in surprise.
When did he get so good with Yun Yu?
"He only showed me an empty coffin and said nothing else." Mu Huai'an withdrew the hand that was pinching her shoulder, and said lightly, "But you are skinny, even if you look like it, if you weigh it, you will know that you are not a living person." ”
Shen Lingxi fell silent.
Although this corpse has been embalmed, after six years, it is indeed only skin and bones left, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a dry corpse.
However, although Yun Yu did not tell him explicitly, he also told him the most crucial clues.
It is enough to prove that Yun Yu and Mu Huai'an have a great relationship now.
"What are you going to do after her?" Seeing that she was silent, Mu Huai'an asked again, "Are you still going to stay in this corpse all the time?" ”
Shen Lingxi was holding a bamboo cane, and although his eyes were "godless" looking ahead, the afterglow was always locked on Xiang Zhou's soul.
"Watching a play." She lowered her voice and said meaningfully: "The Great Priest has been planning for so long, it will not be as simple as just taking a physical body. ”
"The sage Zeng Yun 'will take what you want, you must give it first', since I was a child, he taught me the art of poison, cultivated me with my heart, and spent fifteen years plotting to let a dead man take my body. I should have to do the same, let him get what he wants, and then get it back, so that I can 'repay' him for teaching me. ”
Mu Huai'an raised his eyebrows.
A tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye.
Sure enough, it was Shen Lingxi he knew.
No matter how many pairs of skins he replaces, he will never admit to being wrong.
"What can I do for you?" Mu Huai'an was afraid that she would refuse, and said, "One more helper for me is better than your single-handedly winning chance of a corpse." ”
"Catch me." Shen Lingxi looked at him and said, "Treat me as an assassin's accomplice and detain me." The soul of the Great Priest is all around, so be careful not to show flaws. ”
Mu Huai'an immediately understood what she meant, and his eyebrows were about to reach the sky.
It's just that his hands are not idle, so he directly asked his subordinates to find a rope and tie it around Shen Lingxi's waist.
"Let's go, little blind man, and you will follow General Ben before your accomplices throw themselves into the net."
He deliberately raised his voice to say this, took Shen Lingxi, and chased after Uncle Tai.
*
Regarding Mu Huai'an suddenly tying up a blind and dumb little girl, Uncle Mei naturally expressed doubts.
Mu Huai'an explained patiently and respectfully: "The assassin just now, when he was assassinating Niangniang, it was this little blind man who was covering for him. The minister thought that these Diao people must have accomplices, so they tied them to their side and waited for them to take the bait. ”
Uncle Mei looked at Shen Lingxi from head to toe again, except for being thin, her appearance was mediocre, and her eyes were blind, so she really didn't care about her anymore.
The group soon reached the top of the mountain.
The Black Armor Guard and the Xiao Jiajun separated the crowd from the altar and the ruins for a considerable distance, so that at the entrance of the holy mountain, the Wuyang was crowded with people.
Thanks to Huai'an's gift, Shen Lingxi, as a "suspect", was able to join them from the side of the crowd, through the blockade of the Xiao family's army, to the specially built royal tent next to the altar.
The royal tent is made of white plain brocade, like a spiritual shed, open in front and back, and the front is facing the direction of the crowd.
This is also the reason why Shen Lingxi asked Mu Huaian to tie her up.
Hiding in the crowd and watching the excitement, how can it be compared to watching a play up close, it is enjoyable.
Mu Huai'an escorted Uncle Mei to the outside of the king's tent, but did not go in, but leaned on the crooked neck tree on the side, bored and threw the rope in his hand, and Shen Lingxi went forward and backward, listening to the movements inside.
As soon as Uncle Mei entered the king's tent, she immediately brought a little crying, and said aggrievedly: "Your Highness, when the concubine went up the mountain, she was almost killed by the assassin, and those Diao people also said that the concubine is a demon girl, and she wants to petition for death, so that the court can kill the concubine and sacrifice to the heavens......"
Chu Yan hadn't expressed his position yet, and Xiao Rui on the side had already changed his face.
"Such a thing?!"
He hurriedly saluted Chu Yan: "Your Highness, it's all the minister's fault, it's the minister's negligence, and he didn't press the rumors in time, so that the rumors will become more and more intense, let the people be instigated, and put the princess in danger, the ministers ...... Guilty. ”
Although Xiao Rui said this, he was actually reminding Chu Yan that he had mentioned this matter a long time ago, and it was Chu Yan himself who rejected his kindness.
Chu Yan lowered his eyes and looked at him.
Seeing this, Uncle Tai snorted coldly: "Who deliberately spread the news that His Highness is going to burn down the altar and ruins today, General Xiao knows it, why bother to act here." ”
In her previous life, she had been the queen mother for a few years in the previous dynasty, how could she not understand Xiao Rui's tricks.
Xiao Rui seemed to be taken aback by Uncle Tai's words, and in panic, he lifted the corner of his robe and knelt on the ground, and knelt down loyally and said: "The minister knows that the princess is quite dissatisfied with the minister, but this leakage of the news is definitely not the minister's doing, and please ask His Royal Highness and the princess to find out!" ”
This royal tent was only used for shading, and the front and back were open, and there was no brocade curtain in front of it.
Yes, Xiao Rui knelt down, and the people who were stopped not far away saw it clearly.
"General Xiao actually knelt down with that demon girl!" In the crowd, I don't know who shouted indignantly, "The demon girl brought the disaster into the city, and now she wants to destroy our altar and kill Zhongliang, you should be killed!" ”
The rumors circulating among the people along the way were all boasting about Xiao Rui and loving Xiao Rui.
invisibly established a tall and loyal "hero" image for Xiao Rui in the hearts of everyone.
At this moment, the "hero" knelt down in humiliation and pleaded guilty to a woman.
How can the people who come to petition endure it?
"Kill the Enchantress!"
"Kill the Enchantress!"
At the instigation of those who had a heart, the people shouted in the direction of the king's tent.
The people who went up the mountain today were already numerous, and this time they shouted the words "kill the demon girl" in unison, which simply resounded through the valley.
The whole sacred mountain seemed to be boiling.
Uncle Meisheng was born in the troubled times when the dynasty was about to fall, and he had seen a lot of this kind of mob-like behavior, so he naturally knew how powerful it was.
If in the previous dynasty, it is the safest way to counter violence with violence.
But now it is a peaceful and prosperous world, if Chu Yan committed murder because of her.
In the future, when she returns to Beijing in the court, she will still be criticized by the world.
If it is crowned with the name of "Demon Concubine Disaster Country", it will be abolished at the lightest, and sacrificed to the sky at the worst.
Tai Shumei only felt that she, the crown princess, was really difficult to ride a tiger.
She can't solve the problem in front of her, so she can only hope for this cheap husband with a body.
"Husband, listen, those people outside are going to kill me, you must save me!" Uncle Tai sobbed.
