Chapter 358: Re-entering the Palace
The man on horseback was of medium stature with a slight beard, and as soon as he stopped, he quickly came to Thirteen.
After seeing this person's face, Thirteen's expression became complicated, he frowned tightly, and seemed to be about to shed tears, but he finally held back and didn't let himself get too excited.
"Sixth brother, it turns out that you are not dead, where have you been all these years?"
Thirteen couldn't help but ask, their brotherhood was very good back then, he, the third brother and the sixth brother, the three of them were the most in love, but a month before the third brother's accident, the sixth brother was beheaded by the other party because of the arrest of a big thief.
But now, the sixth brother is standing in front of him, how can he not be excited?
The sixth got off the horse, looked at Thirteen, and said calmly, "Don't you doubt my identity?"
Being asked like this, Thirteen suddenly remembered that he had been deceived by Seventeen before, and looked at the sixth child in front of him seriously, and from the other party's face, he really didn't see the slightest flaw.
So he spoke: "If you are not the sixth brother, it would be terrible for you to deceive me so deliberately. But with my intuition, I believe that you are the sixth brother, because the eyes can't deceive people. ”
Hearing Thirteen talk about his eyes, the sixth couldn't help but smile indifferently and said, "You have seen Seventeen so many times before, why didn't you see his eyes?"
Thirteen was asked this question, and he also smiled indifferently and said, "I have never made eye contact with him, he always deliberately avoids him, and I have never doubted him." ”
Speaking of this, he spoke again and said, "Sixth brother, you are really a god, we saw your head in a wooden box with our own eyes. Sent to the Pacification Division, the one who died in your place. Who is it?"
Asked this question by Thirteen, the face of the sixth. With a pained expression, he said, "That man has nothing to do with me, we stayed in the same inn, and the other party mistook him for me, attacked him, and cut off his head on the spot. ”
When his words came out, Thirteen's expression remained the same, but there was a strange emotion in his heart, not only him. The five teeth of the forbidden palace, who have experienced countless thrills in the rivers and lakes, have even more doubts about this person.
Feng Mu looked at the sixth child, and became wary of this calm-faced person, there is absolutely no such coincidence in the world, even if there is such a coincidence, there will never be such a similar person.
The mood of farewell and reunion gradually faded, and Thirteen opened his mouth and asked, "Sixth brother." Forgive my little brother for being unreasonable, dare to ask you why you came to me?"
The sixth child's original name was Chen Hui, although he carried many secrets, but he never thought of gaining the trust of the other party. And to put everything and out of the table. When asked by Thirteen, he said: "I don't sell Guanzi either, and I have been incognito for many years. Now I choose to appear again in order to borrow the power of His Highness. Avenge me. ”
Hearing him say revenge, Thirteen knew that he had hidden a past. Although the sixth child is friendly with him, many actions are not together, the sixth child is rarely injured, and the most seriously injured time, he almost died.
If it weren't for the third brother's full rescue, he would probably have gone to Hades to report. The sixth child, who went to the ghost gate for a while, became more cautious and more depressed after that, and Thirteen asked him many times, but he was perfunctory.
Thirteen knew very well that the person in front of him was his sixth brother, not someone else pretending, and he still had this vision. But what kind of strength does the sixth brother want to borrow from Feng Mu, the thirteenth who is not good at the struggle of the imperial court and is used to wandering on the rivers and lakes, can't guess what the sixth brother thinks.
As if sensing Thirteen's concerns, the sixth looked at him, then turned his head to look at Feng Mu, and the five teeth of the Forbidden Palace who were wary of him, and said: "You don't have to worry, I won't frame you, what I'm going to do has something to do with the third brother, if you can't trust me, I can swear to the sky." ”
Thirteen hurriedly said: "Sixth brother doesn't need to be like this, I believe you won't harm us, I believe that if I want to ask you for details, you won't answer, and I won't be bored with myself." ”
The sixth nodded, turned his head and walked to Feng Mu's side, his expression was a little complicated, he seemed to see some of the characteristics of the third brother and some of the characteristics of the emperor between Feng Mu's eyebrows, so he couldn't tell whose blood this child was.
But in terms of the current situation, he can only be regarded as the prince of Emperor Zhu Houzhao, because this important identity is a stepping stone to his success.
"His Royal Highness has grown up so well, it's very gratifying," the sixth looked at Feng Mu's eyes, and couldn't help but think of his mother, the woman who was named Concubine Zhuang, seemed to be hiding too many secrets, he secretly investigated for three years, and only knew that she was related to the Tang Sect, and there was no substantial evidence.
Now, that woman has returned to Huangquan, and the love he has hidden in his heart has also gone, but Feng Mu's eyes are seven points similar to hers, and when he sees him, he will unconsciously think of the past.
"I know that it is a little difficult for His Highness to trust me now, but I hope that His Highness can take a risk, because now, only I can help you get rid of the passive situation of being attacked by the enemy, jump out of the predicament, and strive for the initiative. ”
As he said this, he felt that he still couldn't gain trust, so he spoke again: "Mr. Mo was born into a famous family, and the use of poison can be described as superb, if His Highness still doesn't trust me, you can let him give me a poison, and the antidote is only available to you, how about it?"
Listening to his sincere words, Feng Mu nodded and said, "I believe in you, since you also have your own purpose for helping me, we have a basis for cooperation." ”
Feng Mu said this, and Mo Zi, who was on the side, also stood up and said: "Although we have the same position, as the saying goes, the heart of defense is indispensable, and Your Excellency still needs to take my 'Black Darkness' to make people feel at ease." ”
Hearing Mo Zi also say this, the sixth child's face showed a trace of fear, such an expression fell into the eyes of everyone, **** Hao, who held the "Ling Xiao Sword", originally didn't say much, and asked coldly at this moment: "What, there is a ghost in my heart, I dare not accept it?"
**** Hao, who has been killed by his whole family, will not easily trust others, even if the other party says it wildly, he will feel uneasy if he does not have a fundamental handle in his hands.
This is also the sentiment shared by the rest of the Forbidden Palace, who suffered countless plots when they were young, and had a deep understanding of the ugliness of human nature.
"No, there will be such concerns in the lower world, just because I deeply understand the power of the 'Black Darkness', it is not a deadly poison in essence, but a medicine that makes people lose their minds, if I can't reassure you below, I'm afraid that Mr. Mo will turn me into a medicine man. ”
When Feng Mu heard him say this, he turned his head to look at Mo Ziye, and was impressed by him, he only knew that Mo Zi was also proficient in the art of poison, but he didn't think that he would have such a side-by-side technique.
Mo Zi also saw Feng Mu turn his head to look at him, a wry smile appeared on his face, and he said: "Your Highness doesn't need to learn such indiscriminate tricks, you are a person who does great things, and you don't need such means at all." ”
Feng Mu nodded, responding to Mo Ziye's teaching, and also understanding this person's mind. Although Mo Zi is a eunuch, he is not a bright and upright person, and even has a little hatred, but he has his own code of conduct.
As the saying goes, knowing how to be sophisticated, but not sophisticated, is a great talent. Mo Zi also used his actual actions to tell Feng Mu that the conspiracy method is just a small trick, and it is the king to convince people fundamentally.
Feng Mu remembered Mo Ziye's principle of doing things, and Mo Zi did not easily believe in the sixth elder Chen Hui, this is the basic principle of walking the rivers and lakes, except for himself, no one else is trustworthy.
Under the leadership of the sixth child, the group left this land of right and wrong, the sixth child didn't know where to find a secret passage, Feng Mu and his party, under his leadership, went straight into the inner courtyard of the palace.
The five teeth of the forbidden palace wanted to lead Feng Mu directly to the queen mother to recover his life, but the sixth Chen Hui did not agree, he said: "For the sake of today, I can only bring the queen mother here, once His Royal Highness appears, he will become the target of everyone, and the entire palace, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at him." ”
In fact, Feng Mu didn't like to hide like this, after going through so many things, he felt that he couldn't hide what he should face. But he couldn't object to everyone's decision, and he didn't think about meeting the queen mother in person, nor did he think about ascending the throne as emperor.
However, since the Ten Deadpools took him to the capital, and then the Five Teeth of the Forbidden Palace protected her, there was no room for retreat in the path he took.
Although he wants to go through the rivers and lakes alone, but at least he has to solve the current matter, Feng Mu knows that Emperor Zhu Houzhao can't help himself, and he also understands his hard work for himself.
Therefore, he felt the need to repay the emperor who ended sadly, the person who poured his heart and soul into the country, and was finally considered the master of mediocrity, Feng Mu was not worth it, and he wanted to use his actions to save the reputation of Emperor Zhu Houzhao.
At the same time, Zhu Houxi, the son of King Xingxian who set off from Hubei, also rushed to the capital with his playmate Lu Shan. Under the arrangement of the first assistant Yang Tinghe, there was no welcome from the court officials, but a dismount to the emperor who was about to ascend the throne.
When Zhu Houxi and his delegation arrived in Liangxiang, outside Beijing, the young prince had the first round of clashes with the cabinet chiefs. According to Yang Tinghe's instructions, the Ministry of Rites greeted Zhu Houxi with the etiquette of the prince and asked him to enter through the Donghua Gate and live in the Wenhua Palace.
But the young Zhu Houxi did not accept this plan, and he said to his right chief Shi Yuan Zonggao: "The edict is to be my heir to the emperor's throne, not the prince." "The two sides did not compromise with each other and fell into a stalemate.
And such a move indicates the coming of a storm. (To be continued.) )
