Nangong is actually returning to heaven?

Mu Yuncheng looked at Mo Yiyue in surprise, and Mo Yiyue was obviously surprised.

He had just come out of the back hall, and the poison in Nangong Zheng's body was stable, and it was impossible for him to explode and kill people in such a short period of time.

Several people immediately entered the house, and saw Nangong lying on the bed, his eyes bulging out, half of his tongue sticking out, and there was a red mark on his neck, which was obviously strangled to death.

"It must be Xie Helice, he saw that he didn't poison the master, and someone invited rescuers, so he secretly attacked and killed the master, and I want to seek revenge on him. Immediately order troops and block Chitose Lake. Mrs. Nangong shouted madly.

Mo Yiyue stretched out her hand to stop Mrs. Nangong, and said with a serious face: "This matter must not be reckless. After all, we can't be sure who the real culprit is. But one thing I can be sure of is that this person must want to see Wuyang City **** because of Nangong Zheng's death. Madam, you think, once the matter of the Hou Ye's return to heaven is known, the soldiers and civilians of Wuyang City will definitely be in turmoil! At that time, I'm afraid that your palace will bear the brunt. ”

Mrs. Nangong also realized this, and immediately asked Mo Yiyue again: "What does Mr. mean to keep me secret?"

"Yes, you must block the news and not let people outside the house know. Then Madame, you announced to the public that the Hou Ye was ill and needed to recuperate, and all the affairs in the city were first handed over to you to take charge of it. Mo Yiyue nodded.

"Are you asking me to take the position of the city lord?" Mrs. Nangong rolled her eyes, she had this intention but was afraid of being talked about by others.

"If you feel that you are not up to the task, Madam, you might as well entrust this important task to a trustworthy general. Mo Yiyue immediately arranged for him.

But Mrs. Nangong is not stupid, the position of this city lord has been coveted for a long time, once the power is delegated to them, how can there be any reason to take it back? ”

Mu Yuncheng glanced at Mrs. Nangong when he heard this, but secretly mocked: "This lady is not a fuel-efficient lamp at first glance, her husband is dead, and she is always thinking about the location of the city lord." If you want to win over Yi Yue, what you think is quite beautiful, how can Yi Yue help the abuse and act for the tiger?"

After listening to what Mrs. Nangong said, Mo Yiyue politely refused: "Thank you Madame, but Yiyue knows that without this talent, it is difficult to do anything if she stays in the house." However, if Madame wants to completely take over Wuyang City, there is one thing that must be done. ”

"What's the matter?" asked Mrs. Nangong eagerly.

Mo Yiyue smiled and glanced at Mu Yuncheng beside her, and then said, "Deliver 100,000 stone grains and grass to Jiuxin Mountain." ”

——

Yi Xiaoxiang and Mu Tangtang stayed in the inn, not to say that they were bored, but they also had nothing to do.

When Mo Yiyue left, he said that if he didn't come back, the two of them would never leave the inn without permission.

"Let's go out for a walk, it's really boring to stay here. Mu Tangtang couldn't bear it, so he winked at Yi Xiaoxiang and said.

"Let's wait, I think they'll be back soon. Yi Xiaoxiang shook her head and didn't plan to go out with her.

"Forget it, I'll go by myself. She said that she walked out, and as soon as she pushed the door open, she bumped into Mu Yuncheng coming back with Mo Yiyue and Hou Cangshu.

"This matter of transporting 100,000 stones of grain and grass has been determined, although Mrs. Nangong is cunning, but without Nangong Zheng, she will not dare to go against the dynasty again, it is better for us to rush directly to Jiuxinshan first to help General Bi'an. What do you think?" As soon as she entered the room, Mo Yiyue opened her mouth to ask everyone's opinions on this matter.

"I'm fine, but it's up to my sister-in-law and senior Hou. "Mu Yuncheng has no problem here.

And Mu Tangtang and Hou Cangshu also said that they could go together, and maybe they could do their best. And Yi Xiaoxiang had said before that he was going to Jiuxinshan to join his relatives, so he would definitely follow everyone all the way.

After a night's rest, the next morning, a slight mist accompanied by the rising morning light shrouded the forest path outside Wuyang City.

The slightly cold air dispelled the residual sleepiness, and several people rode on horses, following the direction given by Mo Yiyue, crossing the small western slope and heading to Jiuxin Mountain through the Zhuan Road.

There were puffs of black smoke from behind the hill not far away, and it was clearly not cooking smoke or wolf smoke for signaling.

Mu Yuncheng saw that the black smoke was a little weird, so he turned his head and asked Mo Yiyue, "What is the place ahead?"

Mo Yiyue looked around left and right, her eyebrows wrinkled inadvertently, and just as she was about to speak, she heard Yi Xiaoxiang take over Mu Yuncheng's words and said: "In front is Xihe Village, and in the past it was Zhuan Dao." ”

A bad premonition surged up from his heart, Mu Yuncheng couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine, since it was a village, how could there be such thick smoke?

As everyone approached step by step, the mystery in their hearts began to be gradually revealed.

The shattered rubble and broken roof beams collapsed in the charred ruins, and it was shocking. Charred corpses were everywhere, and the annoying stench was disgusting and disgusting.

How so? Who did this?

Mu Tangtang's eyes widened, looking at the scene in front of him in disbelief.

Mo Yiyue secretly said that it was not good, he guessed that this matter was related to the Xinghai Sect, so he said to everyone: "The road from Cangzhou to Jiuli is not only Jiuxinshan, there are also several small roads that are not widely known. I think that the Xinghai Sect may have already divided its troops into Jiuli, and it is very likely that Jiuxinshan and General Bi are not the main force. ”

"But why didn't they directly flank Bi'an's army after they entered Jiuli, weren't it bandits or bandits who came here to kill people and set fires?" Mu Yuncheng was a little skeptical.

"Their target is likely to be Wuyang City, do you remember how Nangong died? This person came and went in the palace without leaving a trace, he must be a master, he wanted to use Nangong Zheng's death to provoke chaos, so as to take the opportunity to seize Wuyang City. As for why this village became like this, in fact, it is not difficult to explain, the Xinghai Sect is originally a cult, and those who follow it prosper and those who rebel perish. They went all the way south, and naturally burned, killed, plundered, and looted everywhere they went. I just don't understand now, the speed of the demon invasion is so fast, why is the rear still stable? Could it be that the local people have been assimilated and become slaves of the demons? But as far as I know, the demon soldiers also need the Demon Soul Grass to maintain, how can it be possible to make everyone obey them. Unless ......"

"Unless it's the Xinghai Sect!" Mu Yuncheng immediately said, "If the Xinghai Sect has been absorbing people, this matter will be easy to explain." ”

"That's right, the Xinghai Sect is the main force of the Demon Clan's stable territory, if we can defeat them first, the Demon Clan will definitely not succeed in fighting in our territory. Mo Yiyue nodded.

Mu Yuncheng looked sideways at Mo Yiyue, as if he suddenly understood something: "What do you mean......"

"The Xinghai Sect will fight with us in Jiuxinshan, and we will fight a big battle that will win more with less and can determine the future fate of Cangzhou and Jiuli. Mo Yiyue's star-like pupils were rarely covered with a layer of haze. Mu Yuncheng could clearly feel his lack of confidence, which he had never felt in Mo Yiyue. In fact, it is no wonder that today's Xinghai Sect is not what it used to be, although the sect leader Lu Xingyu is dead, but the new sect leader Lu Xiao has won the support of the original sect members, and has Youdu as the backing, and his subordinates are more masters like Jin Hao and Tianxing Gong, once the battle is fought, it is indeed difficult to judge who wins and who loses on both sides.
