Chapter Forty-Nine: Palace Changes
Although she was very puzzled by these names, Ye Ningxiang felt that this was a big discovery after all, so she used the shortest time to memorize all these names in her mind. After that, everything was restored to its original place, as if nothing had happened, and after everything was in place, Ye Ningxiang tiptoed back to the room.
Probably because she slept a little long during the day yesterday, and she was a little excited at night, Ye Ningxiang didn't sleep very well in the second half of the night, and she had some messy dreams, but she really woke up but didn't remember at all. Feeling that she might not be able to sleep anymore, Ye Ningxiang changed her clothes and got up.
At this time, it was not yet dawn, and the rest of the palace was still asleep. Somehow, Ye Ningxiang still has a strong curiosity about Mu Xize, where did he go last night, and whether he has come back now, so he can't hold back his curiosity anymore, and is ready to go to Mu Xize's room again to find out.
As soon as she left the house, Ye Ningxiang saw Mu Xize walking towards her, her face was very haggard, as if she had just been seriously injured.
"Third prince, are you uncomfortable? Ye Ningxiang was even more puzzled in her heart, what did this Mu Xize do last night, he was attacked by snakes and Gu worms, and he was not so haggard, could it be that he pretended to be okay when he said before, and he couldn't pretend anymore at the moment, so he was so haggard?
"I'm fine. Mu Xize replied with a smile, but the voice sounded very faint and obviously lacked strength.
When Mu Xize walked in front of Ye Ningxiang, Ye Ningxiang saw that Mu Xize was holding two very delicate small medicine bottles in his hands, and he was even more puzzled in his heart, and asked, "What are these two small medicine bottles?"
"I got the secret recipe for resurrection from a friend, and then asked Ji Beiyuan to help refine the medicine, but I didn't expect to refine one more. Mu Xize said as he handed one of the small medicine bottles to Ye Ningxiang, and continued: "This pill is given to you, it may be useful in the future." ”
"Bring the dead back to life, how can there be such medicine in the world, don't be deceived by someone the third prince!" Ye Ningxiang said with a smile, as if she had determined that Mu Xize had been deceived by a supposing friend.
"I'm not that stupid! Oh, by the way, you will stay in the palace honestly today, and you are not allowed to go anywhere, if it is expected, King Duan will definitely make a big move today, and the palace will definitely be a bloody storm." ”
Ye Ningxiang felt that Mu Xize's words seemed to mean that he would go to the palace but was worried about her safety, so she asked her not to leave King Ning's mansion.
"The third prince is going to the palace, right?"
"I'll go to the palace to deliver medicine to the emperor, you must stay in the palace well, you are not allowed to go anywhere!" Mu Xize patted Ye Ningxiang's shoulder dotingly, but the charming peach blossom eyes looked extremely tired under this thick smile.
After speaking, Mu Xize took out a small bamboo whistle from his waist, blew it gently, and in just a moment, Qin Xiao flew out of the room, didn't say much, and followed behind Mu Xize with a serious face.
However, Ye Ningxiang has always been a master with great curiosity, usually the more people don't let her do it, the more she has to do it, either she gets scolded before she does it, or she touches her nose and doesn't do anything. However, Ye Ningxiang never remembered the long memory.
As soon as Mu Xize and Qin Xiao left the palace, Ye Ningxiang also followed, and she also excused her curiosity in her heart: since he is a spy in Xiao Qingyu's hands, he should do something that a spy should do, like today's bloody and bloody situation, wouldn't it be in vain for Xiao Qingyu to cultivate himself for so many years if he didn't go to see it with his own eyes?
Mu Xize seemed to have made sufficient preparations before, because a carriage had been parked in front of the palace in advance, and the two people driving the car, dressed in black and with veils on their heads, could not see their appearance at all. Ye Ningxiang immediately thought that these two people must be the shadow guard in Mu Xize's hands.
Then, Ye Ningxiang noticed that behind them, there were countless black shadows hidden, each of them was agile, and they were very good at flying the eaves and walls, because they were not walking on the ground, but walking on the roof.
In terms of martial arts, Ye Ningxiang is naturally not a master like Qin Xiao, but in the end, he has studied with a famous teacher for seven years, and it is not difficult to quietly kill a shadow guard, and then impersonate him.
So Ye Ningxiang successfully changed into black clothes, then covered her face with a black veil, and followed the other shadow guards to walk on the roof.
Soon, Mu Xize's carriage arrived at the gate of the palace.
I saw that the guards of the palace today are indeed very different, and hundreds of people are used to guard the gate of the palace alone, let alone inside the palace.
As expected, Mu Xize was stopped outside the palace as soon as he got off the carriage, and the soldiers had fierce looks on their faces, eager to eat Mu Xize immediately.
Mu Xize said very respectfully: "I found a good medicine today, and I specially brought it to the emperor, and I hope that the chief will be accommodating and let us in." ”
Seeing that Mu Xize seemed to be prepared, the chief officer did not dare to let him go easily, and said righteously: "King Duan has an order, the emperor's dragon health is not good, and no one can enter and leave the palace gate at will, so as not to delay the emperor's recuperation." ”
This is really a far-fetched reason, but it also shows the fact that King Duan has already controlled the entire palace, and he will inherit the unification just waiting for the emperor's funeral, or inherit the unification before the emperor's funeral.
Mu Xize was not annoyed, he just stood quietly outside the palace, and those shadow guards were also hidden in the shadows, as if waiting for the time to act.
Ye Ningxiang felt that Mu Xize was undoubtedly hitting the stone with an egg in doing this, although the Shadow Guards were each one of the hundreds, and their martial arts were strong, but the number was limited, how could they be able to defeat the tens of thousands of soldiers gathered in this palace, not to mention whether they could stop King Duan, even their own lives were difficult to preserve.
But then, Ye Ningxiang's opinion changed again, because a team of people gathered outside the palace, looking at the costume, it was probably a certain team of Praetorian Guards, about three or five hundred people, and the leader of the team was a middle-aged man in his thirties.
Probably realizing that something might be wrong, one of the soldiers guarding the door quickly ran towards the palace and reported to King Duan. It's just that the next three or five hundred people didn't give the soldiers guarding the gate a chance to report the news, and they killed the palace gate violently.
For a time, the originally solemn and solemn palace gate was splashed with blood, and corpses were everywhere.
Under the cover of the Praetorian Guards and the Shadow Guards, Mu Xize and Qin Xiao quickly rushed into the palace gate.
There is still a long distance from the palace gate to the Zhaoyang Palace, and these people who followed Mu Xize into the palace have all made the determination to die, doing their best, fighting bravely, until the perfect blood marks are scratched on the neck, until the beating heart is pierced alive, these people have never retreated, is this the so-called faith?
Do you believe in Mu Xize? This man is gentle and harmless on the surface, but in fact he is an out-and-out behind-the-scenes player, who knows everything in his heart, hides everything in his heart, and who really knows his thoughts? He is really ignorant to the extreme, and he will be willing to die for this ruthless and unrighteous white-eyed wolf. Ye Ningxiang felt worthless for these dead soldiers.
More and more soldiers gathered around them, and the archers on the side were ready, waiting for an order to beat them into a sieve.
"Shoot the arrows!" shouted the head of the guard.
Sure enough, compared with people, bows and arrows have the greatest effect, even if these dead soldiers are excellent in martial arts, but under the baptism of arrows and rain in this sky, it is impossible to escape death, only for a moment, there are several more corpses in front of Ye Ningxiang's body out of thin air.
The blood spurted from the arrow into her body sprinkled on Ye Ningxiang's body, making her unconsciously shocked and heartbroken, obviously they were all irrelevant people she had never seen before, just because she was doing the same thing as them, so the originally cold heart rolled uncontrollably again.
Ye Ningxiang didn't know why, she saw those vivid lives turn into corpses in an instant, and she also fought with her life as if she had faith, to resist the rain of arrows that flew in.
Probably because the pain caused by the Gu worm had not yet recovered, and after only resisting for a while, Ye Ningxiang felt that her strength was insufficient, her sword-holding arm trembled involuntarily, and the originally clear scene in her eyes became blurred at this moment.
An irresistible exhaustion crept through her until it spread to all corners of her body. Finally, her body was like a puddle of mud, slumped to the ground, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, knowing that there was a dead end in front of her, but she had no strength to resist and escape.
No, you can't die like this, Ye Ningxiang struggled to hold the ground with her sword, and slowly got up, not wanting to get together, a sharp, cold long arrow flew straight towards her eyebrows. She tried to swing her sword to resist, but her whole body seemed to be frozen, and she couldn't move half a minute.
Death beckoned to her, even if she hadn't been bitten to death by Gu worms in the secret room, and not poisoned by poisonous snakes in the deep cave, she would have been killed by a bow and arrow in this palace now. It seems that the limit of people has arrived, and no matter how you avoid it, you can't avoid it, Ye Ningxiang closed her eyes in despair.
As she closed her eyes, a pair of large powerful hands grabbed her shoulders tightly, and then slammed her down to avoid the fatal arrow.
The moment she fell to the ground, the black veil that Ye Ningxiang wrapped around her face immediately fell, and then she felt that something seemed to be on her face, it was very warm, and it seemed to be a little sticky. She opened her eyes suddenly, and met Mu Xize's pale and haggard cheeks, it was him, it was him who saved herself! And the warm, viscous liquid was the blood that shot out from Mu Xize's left shoulder with a bow and arrow.
Ye Ningxiang was at a loss, only to hear Mu Xize say in her ear very gently: "Xiao Yezi, you are really disobedient!"
"You, how do you know it's me?" Ye Ningxiang felt embarrassed, obviously she had done it extremely cautiously and did not leak, but she still couldn't escape Mu Xize's eyes.
"Because you smell different!" Mu Xize showed a faint smile, making people feel that this place was not like a Shura field, but like a holy place for romance and love.
"You, you get up first, and if you continue like this, we will all be arrested. Ye Ningxiang changed the topic, but her heart couldn't help but pound.
However, it is very unfortunate that before Mu Xize got up, the two of them have been surrounded by soldiers under King Duan, as long as King Duan gives an order, the two of them will be chopped into mud by this group of knives on their heads.
Seeing that his master was captured, Mu Xize's subordinates also stopped attacking, for fear that one of his actions would bring harm to their master.
Ye Ningxiang felt a little remorseful in her heart, if she was obedient and honestly stayed in the palace, maybe Mu Xize would be able to successfully break into the Zhaoyang Palace, and she would not end up in an unpredictable fate like now. However, remorse is remorse, Ye Ningxiang always feels that there is something wrong, but she can't say anything wrong.
"What now?" Ye Ningxiang asked with some anxiety on her face.
That Mu Xize didn't even look worried, and even smiled, "Resign yourself to fate!"
Under the threat of the long knives of the soldiers, Ye Ningxiang and Mu Xize slowly got up, only to see King Duan, who had been hiding behind them, walking in front of them with a proud face.
"Third brother, why bother hitting a stone with an egg like this?" Duan Wang's words sounded regretful, but there was always a treacherous smile on his face.
Mu Xize didn't answer, just responded with a smile.
"The three princes intend to rebel, correct the law on the spot, and execute immediately!" King Duan smiled even brighter, and his voice was amplified several times, as if he was demonstrating his hot power as the next emperor.
