Chapter 212: His Royal Highness King Xin
A few days later, Shancheng Pass.
The news of the defeat of the Wei army had already returned, and the entire Shancheng Pass was in a frenzy.
In a post house in Kannai, there is no trace of this frenzy.
Lin Muhua, who was covered by a black robe and armor, was sitting upright in front of a square table in the post house, drinking bitterly from a jar of wine in front of him.
There are scattered meats and side dishes on the table, and even more striking are the empty wine jars in the corners.
Depending on the situation, he has been here for a long time.
However, the team at the time of leaving Beijing did not accompany him for some reason at the moment.
The innkeeper saw that the wine in his hand was about to run out, and hurriedly squeezed out a smile and sent it to the altar again.
"General, please use it!"
Before he could hand it over, the wine jar in his hand was taken away, but the boss didn't dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction, and slowly retreated with a smile on his face.
"Subordinate Zhang Sheng, I have seen the commander of Lin, because it is late, please ask the commander to surrender!"
A group of big men in bullfighting suits surrounded a burnt-faced man in a flying fish suit and rushed in hurriedly and knelt down in front of Lin Muhua.
"Condemnation?"
Even though his stomach was full of wine, Lin Muhua's eyes were as bright as ever.
"According to the rules of Jinyiwei, Shangguan summoned and didn't come for no reason, what should I be guilty of?"
"Commander...... Lord Commander, his subordinates are here...... It's too late!"
Zhang Sheng's voice trembled, and even more pleading.
"You're talking about me, I'm not right?"
An eerie voice came from above, and the horrified Zhang Sheng suddenly slammed his head on the ground, and the floor that hit it slammed.
"The subordinates don't dare, the subordinates don't dare!
"Let me ask you, how many people are you commanding in the city?"
Lin Muhua picked up the wine jar again and poured it into his mouth.
"Lord Yu, in addition to his subordinates, there are also a thousand households in the city, five deputy thousand households, ten hundred households, thirteen small banners, and more than 200 captains and wrestlers. ”
Because of the location of Shanchengguan, there are quite a few Jinyi guards here, and they are all elites, ensuring that the situation on the front line can be transmitted to some people in the capital at any time.
"Okay! Recruit them all and go to Chenzhou with me!"
"......"
"Why? You don't want to?"
The wine jar fell heavily on the square table, making a heavy sound, and Zhang Sheng's heart shook for a moment.
"Don't dare, my subordinates will arrange it!"
For the sake of his own life, he gritted his teeth and responded.
"Okay, give you an hour, if the people don't arrive, you don't have to come back to see me!"
Lin Muhua finally turned around, revealing his handsome and abnormal face, but the hideous murderous intent in his eyes was intimidating.
In less than an hour, more than 200 people had gathered in front of the post house, and more than a dozen tall horses were led by people to stand aside honestly.
"Lord Commander, please get on your horse!"
The black-faced Qianhu Gaoping and the yellow-faced Qianhu Zhang Sheng watched Lin Muhua turn over and get on the horse, and in a burst of urging, a group of people rumbled towards the south.
Yesterday was cold, and ice crystals had formed on the ground, and at this time they were trampled by a group of people, leaving mud all the way.
The innkeeper sighed and packed up the drinks and food in the store, counting how many days he would have to work in vain this time.
"Your Excellency!"
Liu Chao, a brocade-clothed guard in Chenzhou, knelt under the horse, the flying fish suit on his body was tattered, and the marks of the horsewhip whipping were all over his body, but he did not dare to complain in the slightest.
Because even if the boss on horseback sees it, he must respectfully greet him.
"Everything that Su Qiao'er came here was arranged by you?"
Liu Chao trembled when he heard this, and a sense of fear rose irrepressibly from the bottom of his heart, he never thought that such a handsome man would be so cruel!
"My lord, my subordinates are ...... according to the requirements of Shangfeng"
"Smack!"
"Hmmm......"
Before he finished speaking, the heavy leather whip had already been drawn, and under the precise control of the true qi of the innate real person, although this whip did not draw blood marks, the muscles in the body were torn apart by the shock.
"Take us there!"
"Yes!"
Liu Chao held on to the severe pain and answered loudly, and he already hated Su Qiao'er in his heart!
Don't blame me for ignoring my neighbors, for the sins I suffered today will be found in you!
Located on the edge of the West Lake, the Huancai Pavilion is a rare guest today, and the melodious sound of the piano slowly floats from inside, making people feel comfortable. An inconspicuous carriage was parked quietly in front of the door, and the majestic coachman was resting alone against a willow tree.
The sound of the horse's hooves opened the coachman's eyes slightly, and a glimmer of light flashed, and he reached out to lead the carriage, slowly moved a distance to the side, and stopped in a dark corner.
"Dismount!"
With Lin Muhua's roar, Liu Chao, who was covered with injuries, had already jumped up and landed in front of the door of Huancai Pavilion.
"Boom ......"
The two gates flew straight upside down, slamming into the courtyard, overpowering the flowers and plants and stirring up dust.
Liu Chao's slender figure followed closely behind, landed in the courtyard, swept his eyes, and had already rushed in the direction where the sound of the piano came from behind.
"Hold on, don't let anyone go!"
Qianhu Zhang Sheng waved his hand, and the brocade guards who had already been proficient in this business separated, while Lin Muhua walked towards the backyard unhurriedly, accompanied by nearly a hundred elite brocade guards.
"What are you doing? We have a guest here today!"
A woman's thick voice rang out, followed by a wail of pain.
Lin Muhua had a hideous smile on his face, and he couldn't wait to speed up his pace.
"I hate others for deceiving me and deceiving me the most in my life!" first capture Su Qiao'er, and then use her to attract Sun En, and then I will torture the two of you to vent the hatred in my heart!'
"Bang Bang ......"
The sound of the door being slammed open sounded, accompanied by the abrupt end of the piano sound, and Liu Chao's angry shouting.
"Bang!"
The sound of the crash sounded, accompanied by the sound of the window sash cracking, the sound of the human body falling to the ground, apparently a person was thrown out of the house and left outside.
The smile on Lin Muhua's face became more and more obvious, and with a turn of the path, the small courtyard came into view.
His face changed suddenly, and the figure in the courtyard turned out to be not Su Qiao'er, but Liu Chao!
And Liu Chao was cut into two pieces from his chest and abdomen, and his five internal organs rolled to the ground, covered with dust.
"Who is it? dare to attack and kill the officials of the imperial court!"
Zhang Sheng behind him suddenly roared, seeing this scene, it was inevitable that the rabbit would die and the fox would be sad, and with one look, the hundred people in brocade clothes had already been trained.
No matter how Liu Chao said it, he is also a master of the Eight Veins Stage of the Qi Jing, even if he is injured, he is killed by someone in one breath, and the other party's strength can be imagined.
"It's Lin Muhua Lin Commander outside?"
A voice as warm as jade came from inside the room.
"Who are you?"
Lin Muhua frowned, this person's voice seemed familiar to him.
"His Royal Highness the King of Faith is like this, and who dares to be rude?"
The deep voice sounded in everyone's ears, shaking the eardrums.
The person who spoke out turned out to be a real person!
"His Royal Highness King Xin! His Royal Highness is not staying in Wuzhou, why did he come here?
Lin Muhua's face was gloomy and he replied coldly.
No wonder this person's voice is so familiar, it is the voice of His Royal Highness the Ninth King of the World, whom I often heard when I was a child.
At that time, King Xin and His Majesty were competing for the throne, and with the help of His Majesty's Prime Minister Zhen Cheng, King Xin immediately chose to withdraw after knowing that he had no hope for the position of the Ninety-Five Supreme, so he retained his life, but he was also confined to the land of Wuzhou, and he was not allowed to go out without a purpose.
"This king was ordered by the Queen Mother to go to the Baijia Taoist Hall to ask for scriptures, and pray that God will give me the opportunity to prosper in Great Chu. Occasionally, passing by here, I heard that there was a woman with an extraordinary piano sound, and she had the same name and surname as Su Qiaoer in the capital back then, so I came to take a look. I didn't expect to meet Commander Lin. ”
The sound in the room was still unhurried and orderly.
"By the way, after talking for so long, I forgot to invite Commander Lin in. ”
"Please come in!"
With the voice of King Shin, the door opened silently to both sides, like a monstrous beast with its mouth wide open.
"Lord Commander?"
Zhang Sheng behind him swallowed his saliva, since the people in the house were His Royal Highness King Xin, they naturally didn't dare to force their moves, besides, this King Xin was known as the ninth in the world, and he killed many masters of the rivers and lakes with a single-handed sword, and his own group of people may not be opponents of others.
Of course, even if Lin Muhua goes crazy, he will not accompany him.
"You are guarding outside, and I will go in, and do not let go of the woman who fornicates with foreign enemies. ”
Lin Muhua lowered his voice and admonished, and a whole shirt had already walked in.
The facilities in the house are elegant and simple, and there are not many things on display, only Su Qiao'er, who is sitting under the window, made his eyes fix for a moment, and looked at His Royal Highness King Xin, who had seen many faces when he was a child.
Twenty years have passed, and the appearance of His Royal Highness King Xin has not changed much, he is still dignified and not angry, but now His Majesty is old and gray.
There was only one guard behind him, although he was a congenital real person, but under the momentum of King Xin, people couldn't help but ignore it.
"Weichen Lin Muhua, knock on His Royal Highness King Xin!"
Lin Muhua's robe swung back, and he knelt on the ground respectfully.
"Commander Lin, please get up. ”
King Shin nodded slightly, and then pointed to a small stool opposite.
"Sit!"
"Your Highness!"
Lin Muhua stood up, sat upright, made a straight face, and looked directly at the current King of Faith with his eyes, without showing any timidity.
"I have been living in Wuzhou all these years, and I have never been to the capital, so I wonder if my mother is still healthy?"
King Shin seemed to open his mouth casually, but his eyes were a little strange.
Although he was far away in Wuzhou, he also heard that a handsome young man had become the guest of his mother, and it was rumored that this young man was the commander of Lin in front of him!
"Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother has to play in the garden every day, and she is in good spirits. ”
"I can't wait for my mother with me, I'm not filial!"
King Xin sighed slightly, but Lin Muhua had no interface.
"How is the health of the imperial brother? When I heard that he was assassinated two years ago, I was very worried about the physical condition of the imperial brother. ”
"Don't worry about His Royal Highness, Your Majesty is in good health. ”
"Really, how did I hear he wasn't in good shape?"
King Xin smiled, didn't care at all about Lin Muhua's changing expression, slowly picked up a cup of tea on the table, took a sip, sighed and said: "My royal brother is greedy for power, but his body has always been weak, so he often dreams of immortality, but he doesn't want to be assassinated by gangsters in order to get the opportunity of immortality, and he was hit in the back with his true anger, and his internal organs were injured, and his life was short. ”
Lin Muhua's body tightened, these things are the biggest secrets of the Forbidden Palace, even a few princes may not know why this declining prince who has been imprisoned in Wuzhou can be clear.
"Fortunately, at this time, the opportunity came to hand, and I happened to find a miracle medicine, called longevity pill, according to records, taking it can increase life expectancy by half a jiazi. ”
Therefore, he sent his henchmen to give him Nine Dragons Armor and went to find an opportunity. ”
King Xin opened his mouth unhurriedly, and Lin Muhua's eyes became more and more gloomy.
Who the hell is it? Who is it that told King Shin all this?
"By the way, does Commander Lin know what the Longevity Pill is?"
King Xin put down the tea in his hand, looked at Lin Muhua and said with a smile as if chatting normally.
"Please also ask Your Highness to clarify your doubts. ”
Lin Muhua's voice revealed a sense of unrest from the heart.
"Everyone's lifespan has a limit, the lifespan of a mortal is about 100 years old, and the innate real person can reach two and a half Jiazi, but there are very few who can really live to that age. Because people will inevitably suffer some diseases and injuries in their lives, and reduce their life expectancy. ”
And this longevity pill can rejuvenate the human body, so that the body can be refilled with vitality, so as to increase the number of longevity. ”
"However, this method of increasing lifespan is not very useful for innate real people, because our body is almost complete, so some people will abandon it. ”
King Xin's words were pointed, and Lin Muhua looked at him with a pale face, and his heart was shocked.
"What does Your Highness mean?"
"I mean, although this elixir is miraculous, it is not useful for treating serious injuries. ”
King Xin looked at Lin Muhua and smiled slightly, while the other party's face turned even paler.
"Useless?"
Lin Muhua muttered to himself, with despair in his voice.
"That's right!"
King Xin nodded, and said in an affirmative tone: "Not only is it useless, but after taking it, because the power of the medicine will affect the five internal organs of the body, it may also kill the person who is already seriously injured in an instant!"
"But this is recorded in the classics over the years, it is the Queen Mother's ......"
As soon as Lin Muhua spoke, he immediately paused, and his mind was blank.
"That's right, although it is useless to the imperial brother, it is very useful to my queen mother. ”
King Shin gave him an affirmative look in return.
"Your Highness, save me!"
Lin Muhua suddenly left his seat, fell to the ground, and knelt heavily in front of King Xin.
He is not stupid, of course he understands that all this is the attention of the old witch of the current Queen Mother, and this king of letters may also be involved in it, and he is an outcast.
But since King Xin said it in front of himself, he naturally has a place where he can be useful, and it is also where his glimmer of life lies. 10
