Chapter 244: Wuyang City (II)
At night, Wuyang City is quiet and peaceful, and the moonlight pours on the streets like water, but it is more tranquil than the red lanterns swaying at the gate of the house.
Just after the third watch, the soldiers patrolling the streets did not dare to slack off at all, and after a while, several teams had already passed. After Mu Yuncheng made a fuss before, the garrison in this city was really a lot stricter.
As the stars faded, there were more and more pedestrians on the street.
The streets and alleys were posted with notices arresting Mu Yuncheng and Yi Xiaoxiang, although the two covered their faces with masks, they didn't dare to walk on the street too blatantly, so they had to follow behind Mo Yiyue and Mu Tangtang cautiously, and pay careful attention to their surroundings.
There were indeed a lot of people around the bulletin board, but they were not attracted by the notice of Mu Yuncheng and the others, but by the notice in the middle to seek good medicine.
Mu Tangtang took a closer look, and it turned out that the city lord Nangong was hit by severe poison, and he offered a reward for detoxification by a medical master.
He came back to talk to the three of them about it, and everyone felt a little strange.
This Nangong is living in Wuyang City, how could it be that he has been poisoned inexplicably? The four of them sat down in a restaurant, where there were many people and mixed mouths, and it was the best place to inquire about the news. The four of them had just sat down, and a few of them were talking about it.
"This Nangong is creating King Ning's rebellion, and now Wuyang City has taken refuge in the Xinghai Sect. ”
"How do you know about this? Besides, Nangong Zheng is the hereditary king of Nan, and the dynasty is already above ten thousand people under one person, so why should he go to the Xinghai Sect?"
"You don't know about this matter, Nangong Zheng is no longer the king of Linan, and now he is the Marquis of Wuxiang. I heard that King Ning asked him to supervise 100,000 grains and grass for the northern expedition to Cangzhou, but he was not doing well, and he was severely punished by King Ning. This led to the idea of surrendering Youzhou. A few days ago, King Ning came to Wuyang City and lived in the Li Nan Palace. Coincidentally, on the day of Nangong's rebellion, King Ning was stationed outside the city with his army. He sent a large army to surround King Ning, but King Ning broke through and ran away, this King Ning's personal guard is really not ordinary, not to mention one as a hundred, but also one as ten. 5,000 people fought with 50,000 people without a win. Although the whole army was annihilated, it also lost nearly 50,000 men and horses of Nangong Zheng. And King Ning also broke through alone, and I heard that he hadn't caught it yet. My brother cooks at the Pioneer Camp, and that's what he told me. ”
"It turned out that it was King Ning that night, and I thought it was the Xinghai Sect who called. Hearing this, one next to him couldn't help but sigh.
"I heard that Nangong Zheng personally led a team of people to chase King Ning, and when he didn't want to pass by Chitose Lake, he offended Xie Helice, and they didn't let him go over and didn't say anything, and poisoned him. I had no choice but to bypass Chitose Pond, and I was delayed for a lot of time. And Nangong Zheng couldn't afford to get sick when he came back, and he was dying when he heard about it. ”
Mu Yuncheng's ears moved slightly, but he heard all these words clearly.
"This Nangong is doing a lot of evil, and he really deserves to be cleaned up this time. Mu Yuncheng said secretly in his heart.
Mo Yiyue also heard the conversation of those people, but her eyebrows were tightly locked.
He knew that today's Wuyang City was not as simple as he imagined, the Nangong family had taken root here for a long time, not to mention the founding of the country, it could be regarded as a tearing of the earth and the king. Once Nangong Zheng died, then Wuyang City was bound to be in chaos, and the most advantageous thing to borrow was the Xinghai Sect that confronted Bi An in Jiuxin Mountain.
Nangong Zheng can't die, even if he wants to be an enemy of King Ning, but I heard that he lacks assertiveness by nature and wavers. If you can stabilize it first, it is not impossible to return to punish him when the army defeats the Xinghai Sect. So his life still has to be saved for the time being.
"After a while, you will go back to the inn to rest, Yuncheng will go back to Hanging Waterfall Village to invite Hou Cangshu seniors to come, and I will go to the palace to see how serious Nangong Zheng's poison is. Mo Yiyue put down her chopsticks and arranged.
Yi Xiaoxiang's hand holding the vegetables suddenly stopped, but this stunned was only for a moment, and then returned to its previous calm.
Mu Tangtang's voice lowered, but he was a little unhappy and said: "Didn't you listen to those people? This Nangong is surrendering to the Xinghai Sect, isn't it a plot with the tiger to save him?"
Mo Yiyue shook her head, but said: "Even if we are seeking skin with the tiger, we have to give it a try, now Jiuxinshan is in the midst of a confrontation between the two armies, once the rear is on fire, the front army is bound to collapse." And as long as Nangong Zheng is alive, he will not dare to blatantly fight back, his pursuit and killing of King Ning is one thing, and secretly observing is also the other, once the dynasty allows him great benefits, he will definitely turn against him. This is actually said to Yi Xiaoxiang, the meaning is very clear, Nangong Zheng's life can be wanted at any time, it seems that this kind of villain will not do much, he can use it as much as possible not to fight first, and he is confident that he will persuade Nangong Zheng not to be an enemy of the dynasty first.
After eating, the four of them divided into three ways and hurriedly separated, Mu Yuncheng Imperial Sword went to Hanging Waterfall Village to invite Hou Cangshu to come, while Mo Yiyue simply cleaned up and went to the Li Nan Palace.
Nangong was lying on the bed and dying, Mrs. Nangong was already in turmoil, and when she heard that someone had come to heal Marquis Wuxiang, she hurriedly ordered someone to invite Mo Yiyue in.
As soon as Mo Yiyue Fang entered the door, Mrs. Nangong greeted her, "I heard that Mr. is a disciple of Jiang Ting, but there is a wonderful way to heal my master?"
Mo Yiyue nodded: "There is a way, but it's a pity that I am afraid that Master Hou will not be able to do it." ”
"What's the solution? As long as we can save the master, we can do anything. "Mrs. Nangong is categorical.
Mo Yiyue smiled slightly: "I heard that Xingling Medicine Immortal Hou Cangshu is in Wuyang City, but he and the Xinghai Sect are incompatible, and now that Hou Ye and the Xinghai Sect are so close, he should not come to the rescue of Hou Ye." ”
Mrs. Nangong's face changed slightly when she heard this, obviously a little embarrassed, and she saw that her eyes turned slightly, and she changed her smile and said: "My lord has been loyal to the dynasty for generations, how can he collude with the Xinghai Sect? If you want me to say that there must be a misunderstanding between the lord and King Ning, when we find King Ning, we will definitely be able to clarify the misunderstanding." ”
Mo Yiyue shook her head and said, "There is no basis for what you say, now the city lord of Nangong has broken with King Ning. Once this news reaches the front line, with Bi An's character, it is difficult for him to guarantee that he will not suddenly kill under Wuyang City and start a war with Hou Ye. ”
"I heard that the front line of the army is short of grain and grass, and my lord has already collected 100,000 stone of grain day and night. I immediately sent people to the front line to support General Bi An in his fight against the Xinghai Sect. "Mrs. Nangong knows that it is useless to just explain, but fortunately, the grain and grass that Nangong is raising is still there, and it has not been handed over to the Xinghai Sect, and now it can only be taken out in exchange for Nangong Zheng's life.
Mo Yiyue nodded: "In this case, Hou Ye's illness can be worry-free." My friend has already asked Mr. Hou to come, and it is estimated that he will be there soon. ”
When Mrs. Nangong heard this, she gave Mo Yiyue a big salute and said, "Mr. Wan Xie, if the master can survive this catastrophe safely, we will repay you twice." ”
