Luoshui City, as a thousand-year-old capital, has experienced countless baptisms of war, although the dynasties have changed, but it still stands on this land, after many dynasties to expand, covering a wide area, also as the center of the world, naturally prosperous, with a population of up to one million.

Although the empire is now in flames and rebellions are constantly occurring everywhere, Rakusui Castle as Kyoto is still very peaceful and unaffected by the war.

It was already night, and there was no cool breeze at night, and the black clouds in the sky were slowly fluttering, occasionally revealing a piece of white light, but the moonlight was hidden in the clouds.

In the city, the fire dragon composed of torches jumps in the night according to a fixed route, and is patrolled by heavily armed armor soldiers, and in the dark corners of the invisible shadows, peeping at every important position.

Although it was night, even the barking of dogs was rare, usually people closed their doors early, and the shops did not make any sound, but the ancient capital where millions of people lived was so quiet, there was an indescribable weirdness.

........................

As the darkest place in Kyoto, the Black Prison is located like a small castle in the northeast corner of the inner city, and it is a place where prisoners of all kinds are held.

At this time, the sword-wielding warriors took three steps and one sentry, the warriors with all kinds of weapons occupied each mouth, the figures that inadvertently flashed from the darkness, the cold light revealed, the weapons hidden next to the so-called prisoners in the various cells, and the crossbow arrows exposed at the commanding heights around them, like a net from heaven and earth, tightly covered this place, leaving no gap.

In the innermost layer of the black prison, there was a small iron door, and two people stood outside the door, one fat and one thin, all expressionless.

The fat man rubbed his hands, looked at a stone slab under his feet with a pair of eyes, and said something from time to time, muttering to himself, as if he was seriously thinking about something.

The thin man hugged this umbrella, squinted his eyes, leaned against the wall, his fingers kept beating on the umbrella, and he just stood there, like a demon returning from hell, which made people shudder.

There were two other people in the door, one of them was dressed in white prison clothes, his hands and feet were bound by thick iron chains, and he was lying on the ground lazily, but his eyes were sharp and looking at the gorgeous man in front of him.

The man in fancy clothes looked down at the man in front of him condescendingly, looked at the dark environment around him, and said a little playfully: "Mu Wenxiao, you are still used to living, I knew that I had fallen like this, why did I collude with my second brother, if you had taken refuge in me, how could you have fallen to the point where you are today?"

Mu Wenxiao lazy down, found a comfortable position to sit down, yawned, and said with an indifferent sarcasm: "Hehe, what's the matter? I want to live together, but I'm afraid there is no room for a beast like you here! ”

The man in the fancy dress looked at the calm appearance on the other side, remembered the past, the corners of his eyes couldn't help jumping, and a trace of anger arose in his heart, but there was no trace on his face, he thought about it for a while, and said with a slight smile: "Whatever you say, I am the crown prince of the empire, and I am the orthodox emperor, if he is his prince well, why would I use such means!"

Mu Wenxiao clapped his hands, slowly raised his head, looked at Hua Chenxuan, and said with disdain on his face: "Kaichen Xuan, it's not easy to be shameless to this extent, it's so righteous, smack, but it has a good skin, who would have thought that it was a wolf's heart and dog lungs!"

Kai Chenxuan was not annoyed, raised his hand to touch his face, shook his head, and sighed: "Alas, the king is defeated, and you ...... Forget it, when you are cut by a thousand knives tomorrow, someone will definitely come to save you, just to wipe out the rest of your party, rest assured, the road will not be very lonely, there will be many people to accompany you. ”

Mu Wenxiao's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly jumped up with a force under his feet, and the iron chain was tightened, making it clanging because of the struggle.

Gritting his teeth at Kaichen Xuan, he said hatefully: "Kaichen Xuan, I swear, if you don't die tomorrow, I will cut off your head with my own hands." ”

"Hahaha...... Don't say that, oh, by the way, there is also a happy event, do you think it is very secret to let the family go first, I have already asked people to take good care of them, rest assured, when you get down, don't forget to thank me when the family is reunited!"

Kaichen Xuan listened to Mu Wenxiao's scolding, laughed instead of being angry, and opened his mouth indifferently, in this small and dark room, his face was white, but it looked extremely eerie and terrifying.

After finishing speaking, he no longer paid attention to Mu Wenxiao, turned around and left the cell.

Outside the door, two men in black leaned over and saluted, waiting for orders.

Kaichen Xuan waved his hand casually, exhaling a breath of turbidity, as if the conversation just now had expressed all the unhappiness, then glanced at the two of them, and said lightly: "Fang Jiuting, Wang Huxu, I have handed over the person to you, if there is a half-point difference, then there is no need to come back." ”

The words made the two of them feel tight, but they didn't dare to show it in front of them, so they quickly bowed their heads and said yes.

After stepping out of the black prison, a man in eunuch costume hurriedly trotted over and draped a red sable robe over Hua Chenxuan.

Tightening the robe on his body, he asked, "Are you all ready?"

The eunuch leaned over and replied in a low voice: "Back to Your Majesty, everyone has been arranged, all the mansions of the dukes are watched, and the military guards have no changes, but General Lu is afraid that he has other ideas." ”

Kai Chenxuan smiled and said as he walked: "I didn't expect Lu Pingye to make much effort, he doesn't have any problems, just let him contain some people, so that he can have less trouble." ”

After a pause, he said: "As for a few of those famous clans, there are a few who are of the same heart as me, hey, wait for me to slowly clean them up later." ”

As he spoke, he boarded an ordinary carriage with the support of the eunuch next to him, and drove towards the palace under a large number of guards.

At this time, Mu Wenxiao in prison had regained his calm, his eyes couldn't help showing a little worry, lying on the ground, looking out of the window without blinking.

"Tomorrow, are you going to die......"

............

In a courtyard in the middle of the city, there were dozens of people dressed in various costumes, and on the steps stood three people, a middle-aged man, a young man in his twenties, and finally an old man in a long robe.

"Tomorrow, Mu Shao is going to be sentenced, this is our last chance, even if there is only one person left, we must succeed. The middle-aged man said hoarsely, although his voice was not loud, but the meaning of the determination in it was unshakable.

The young man next to him glanced at the people in front of him who knew or didn't know, raised the bowl in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "I will act tomorrow, replace wine with water today, and toast this cup first for the sacrificed brother......"

As soon as they drank it all, dozens of people in the courtyard pulled out their personal weapons, cut off a corner of their clothes, wrote down their names, put them on the table in front of them, and left, quietly hiding everywhere, silently.

They are all people who walk in the dark, born without a trace, die silently, and live in the world with different identities, whether they are hawkers, hunters, merchants......

But all of them are unconcerned, even if they disappear one day, no one will care, and the only time they are exposed to the sun is the final end.

After everyone left, the middle-aged man hugged his fists to the old man and the young man and said, "Mr. Mo, Shi Gui, the rest of the matter will be handed over to you, farewell." ”

After speaking, the middle-aged man strode away.

"Shigui, it's time for us to move, tomorrow is dangerous, it's time to prepare for the last step. The old man surnamed Mo spoke.

The young Shi Gui stood aside and asked with a little hesitation: "Sir, how sure are you that you will be able to rescue Gongzi tomorrow?"

The old man surnamed Mo didn't answer, stroked his white beard a few times, glanced at Shi Gui, looked up at the night sky, took a deep breath, turned around and walked slowly towards the hall.

"Do your best, obey the destiny of heaven. ”

........................

In a restaurant, in the innermost room, two people in Tsing Yi are discussing something under the lamp.

"Tomorrow's escort route is already clear, do it on the road, you must rescue the young master. The man in Tsing Yi, who looked a little older, pointed to the map on the table and frowned.

The other person looked at the map seriously, as if he wanted to engrave it in his mind, and then said forcefully: "We must ensure the safety of the young master, and we must not let down the commander." ”

The older man looked up at each other, sighed, his eyes became sharp, and said solemnly: "We must succeed tomorrow, you and I are not enough to worry about our lives, but we must ensure the safety of the young master, otherwise you and I will have the face to see the handsome." ”

........................

On a high tower, there is a sloppy old man, holding an altar of wine in one hand and a jar of wine in the other.

Take a sip on the left and a sip on the right, and there are several empty altars scattered under your feet.

Suddenly, he was about to throw away the wine jar he was carrying, but he forcibly took it back, hugged it tightly, and breathed a deep sigh of relief.

Immediately, he viciously kicked the empty wine jar next to his feet, let it gurgle and roll, and fell under the tower, making a "pop" sound in the silent night.

"Stinky boy, scumbag, damn it, it's dragging down my old man...... Do you want to ...... or not?"

"Ah...... It doesn't matter, don't care if that kid lives or dies, get drunk himself, and he will be fine after tomorrow, haha......"

“...... Damn!"

The sloppy old man suddenly stood up, waving the wine jar in his hand, happy and angry.

Listening to the chaotic sounds below, the torches flickered in his eyes, he burped, sighed, jumped up, and disappeared into the night sky.

............

In a dense forest not far from Beijing, every short distance there is a man in black who is on guard and surveying the surrounding movements at any time.

In the depths of the dense forest, there is a hidden cave, the light is shining, and there are several black-clad guards outside the cave.

There was a bright bonfire burning inside the cave, and three women were sitting next to it.

The person in the middle is wearing a lilac dress, with a hosta diagonally inserted in her inky hair, her eyes are like water, and her delicate eyebrows seem to be troubled, but her elegant and beautiful face shows a trace of sorrow.

The woman on the left is wearing a long turquoise dress, her long soft and shiny hair is casually draped behind her back, and her bewitching face exudes a bewitching atmosphere.

On the right is a pretty girl, dressed in a white suit, holding a long sword, shoulder-length short hair, and a pair of smart eyes on her beautiful face, which adds a bit of heroism.

The heroic girl put the long sword beside her, took a wooden stick and stirred the bonfire a few times, turned her head and carefully said to the woman in the middle: "Sister Nangong, will there be something tomorrow?"

Nangong Wujian turned around from his thoughts, and when he heard the words, he shook the hand of the heroic girl and added a little strength.

"It's going to happen, Lu'er, how can a person who is so afraid of death be willing to die?" Nangong Wujian squeezed out a smile on his beautiful face, and said as if he was relieved.

"Really...... Well, too. Nan Lu'er seemed to be trying to reassure herself, and her tone raised a lot, but the melancholy on her face betrayed her heart deeply.

The probe touched the long sword beside him, the burning bonfire jumped in his eyes, and he secretly prayed in his heart.

"Senior Brother Tianyi, hurry up!"
