Qin Muyu said:
"The Nanman are famous for their witchcraft. I heard that even a child of seven or eight years old can use witchcraft."
"The witchcraft used by the royal family to train their weapons must not be a simple thing. I'm afraid that only by going deep into the royal family can we get a clue."
He and Ahri were in the royal capital, isolated and helpless.
However, if we leave the capital and allow the Southern Barbarians to successfully create an army of witchcraft soldiers, it will seriously threaten the safety of the people of Da Chu.
Chu Li whispered:
"I will continue to stay with Chu Yeli. He is very close to Tuoba Mingyue, so I am sure we will gain something from him. The most urgent thing is to get you out of the city."
"Send me away?"
How can this be possible?
How could he leave her here alone!
"The Nanman want to invade the Great Chu. As the Major General of the Great Chu, I should lead the troops. How can I let a woman like you take the risk?"
Chu Li grabbed his wrist:
"The guards are still searching the entire city, trying to capture you. If you stay here, it will only increase the danger. But Chu Yeli and I have been friends for more than ten years, and I believe he will not hurt me."
At least as long as it doesn't touch his bottom line.
But what is his bottom line?
Restoration of the country?
that power?
Or something else?
Qin Muyu looked determined: "I have a way to stay."
"Mu Yu, you have to leave quickly! You are the only male in the Qin family. If something happens to you, the Qin family will have no successor."
"With Mu Xue here, women can carry on the family line just like men."
"But……"
"I have made up my mind!"
Qin Muyu decided to stay with Chu Li.
He has been in Prince Yin's mansion these two days.
The treacherous minister of King Yin was a man who committed all kinds of evil, including smuggling, bribery, murder, private relations with officials, and selling official titles. However, he was a member of the royal family.
Perhaps we can discover something from him.
He has a way to stay in Prince Yin's Palace.
Chu Li couldn't persuade him, and the two of them looked at each other, and suddenly they both laughed.
Laugh at each other's madness.
This is too crazy!
They grew up together in the capital of the Chu Empire, in a safe environment. This was the first time they were so far away from home, doing something as risky as a knife. Just thinking about it sent chills down their spines.
All Chu Li wanted was to sit back and relax, not caring about anything, but he couldn't just sit and watch the war break out.
All three uncles were military generals.
Once a war breaks out, the three uncles will inevitably be affected. The Wen family will be the first to suffer, as will the general's mansion. General Qin and Qin Muyu are both military generals.
She didn't want anything to happen to any of them.
"Mu Yu, did you see the beggar at the end of the street? The beggar from the flea ditch we escaped from last time was our signal for reunion."
Qin Muyu leaned over to look.
Not far away, a young man in tattered clothes and disheveled hair was holding a bowl, with his head lowered. There was a scar on his cheek, making him easy to recognize.
He is Scarface, one of the Eight Vajras.
"Is it credible?"
"It's credible."
Chu Li assured him.
No one in this world can resist money.
If anything unexpected happens, unless, he gets more money.
But her little gold bars were not worth a ton of money, and were enough to buy these people's short-term loyalty.
“Hmm…”
On the ground, the middle-aged doctor held his forehead, half conscious. Chu Li raised a stick and wanted to knock him out again, but Qin Muyu held her back.
When the doctor woke up, he found that the fugitive in the portrait had become two.
Both fugitives are in his shop!
"I'm rich?"
"No, you are going to die." Qin Muyu smashed the teacup. The sharp porcelain pieces pressed against his throat, and the doctor woke up instantly.
“Mercy, mercy, mercy…”
"I have cartilage powder in my body. Find a way to remove it for me."
“Yes, yes!”
How dare the doctor say more?
The fugitive who could be chased by the princess must be a vicious person who would kill without blinking an eye.
He didn't dare to offend again and could only pretend that he didn't see the two fugitives to save his own life.
Moreover, this fugitive is quite moral.
Gave such a big gold ingot.
This gold ingot has already made him a lot of money.
The doctor said contentedly, "Sir, please sit down."
He took the pulse and examined it carefully. "The cartilage powder that the young master was poisoned with was made from the toad, one of the five poisons, tempered with the spirit-inducing grass and Yin fruit. Most doctors can't cure it, but I can."
Chu Li stared at his every move and added nonchalantly:
"You should be a person who cherishes life, right?"
The doctor's hands trembled.
"Such a large clinic is opened here, so it must be worth a lot of money. If you don't live long enough to enjoy it, it will only benefit others in the end."
The doctor immediately said:
"Don't worry, sir! Don't worry! I know how to dissolve this cartilage powder, and I won't dare to do anything!"
Already honest.
As the saying goes, the monk can run away but the temple cannot. His clinic is here and cannot be moved. He absolutely dare not risk his life and property to report to the eldest princess.
He used his medical skills and quickly prepared the special cartilage powder.
Qin Muyu curled his fingers and felt the changes in his body.
Chu Li: "How?"
"My strength is beginning to recover, and my internal energy is also circulating."
If you have martial arts skills, you will be able to do things better.
Chu Li felt relieved now. "It's not suitable to stay here for long. Let's go."
"good."
Qin Muyu picked up the gold ingot on the table and walked out with Chu Li.
The doctor's eyes widened.
etc!
Isn’t this gold ingot the fee for his medical consultation?
"Wait a minute, sir. This..."
"Um?"
Qin Muyu turned his head, narrowed his eyes slightly, clenched his hands, and when he clenched his fists to recover his internal strength, a crackling sound was heard.
The doctor's scalp tingled, how could he dare to speak again?
With tears in my eyes, I watched the two fugitives walk away in a swagger.
His gold ingots!
Gold ingots!
Fugitives have no morals!
The two men left the clinic. The street was bustling with people. At the end of the street, a scarred man dressed as a beggar touched his brow and nodded slightly, motioned to the two men, and then hid in a flea nest.
Chu Li understood and whispered:
"This will arouse suspicion. I have to hurry back to Wang's Inn. Mu Yu, where are you hiding?"
"Ahri, you don't have to worry about me. I remember the secret code we made with the scarred beggar in Flea Bottom. If there is anything, we can talk to the scarred beggar quietly."
Chu Li was worried about his situation and safety.
Qin Muyu held her shoulders with both hands and turned her in a direction: "You go first."
"and you……"
"I won't let you worry in vain. I know what to do. Trust me."
Chu Li hesitated for a moment before striding away.
Qin Muyu watched his back as he walked away, and a calculating light flashed in his eyes.
King Yin, a treacherous minister of the Southern Barbarians, was a cruel and vindictive man.
That day, he held him hostage in the box and strangled him, which was tantamount to touching the tiger's butt and damaged his dignity. He was arrested and taken back to Prince Yin's Palace and locked up for two days.
Although I don't know why he didn't kill him, it is precisely because of this that I can be used to a certain extent.
He straightened his chest, looked at the crowds of people on the street, and walked freely and openly.
I accidentally bumped into someone.
"Oh... who is blind..." The girl, carrying the basket, was angry and was about to curse when she saw the young man's gentle and fair appearance.
The anger on her face instantly disappeared, and she became as gentle as water:
"This young master~"
"I just bumped into you accidentally. Please forgive me. To apologize, I will buy the hairpin you liked just now for you. Is that okay?"
Qin Muyu took out the gold ingot and gave it to the boss.
The boss' eyes widened, "Sir, I can't find the way!"
"Then there's no need to look for it."
He picked up the pearwood hairpin from the stall and put it into the girl's hand.
The girl was extremely shocked, "Sir?"
She was just a girl from an ordinary family, with an average background, average looks, and average conversation. How could she be worth this young man spending so much money on her?
His moves and self-control are just too good!
Could it be that he has taken a fancy to her?
"Please accept my apology, young lady."
"Sir, this is too precious!"
"It's all worth it to make a beautiful woman smile."
The girl's eyes trembled slightly, and she took the pearwood hairpin worth a gold ingot with both hands, and decided to invite the young man for a boat ride on the lake.
But before he could open his mouth, a group of guards came rushing over with the force of thunder.
“Get out of the way!”
“Everyone, get out of the way!”
What's going on?
The incident happened suddenly. When the girl was wondering, she saw the young man running away.
"Sir?"
The guards chased after the young man, and in a few moments, they captured him, tied his hands behind his back, and threw him into a black carriage.
That is the carriage of Prince Yin’s palace!
The girl's heart was shocked.
When it comes to King Yin, everyone in the entire Southern Barbarians knows him and is wary of him. There is even a saying: It is better to offend the king and have your entire family executed than to offend King Yin, as life would be worse than death.
In the carriage.
Qin Muyu fell in and his head hit the ground, making him dizzy.
Above my head, a man's voice as cold as the night sounded:
"Boy, you went to someone else's house as a guest, but you strangled the host, burned the host's storehouse, stole the host's money, and used the money to pay tribute to the Buddha and please the beauty. This doesn't seem like a gentleman's behavior."
Qin Muyu paused for two seconds, and saw a pair of black brocade boots with gold-lined edges and embroidered with flamboyant patterns. The purple-red brocade robe fully demonstrated the man's arrogance.
He stood up:
"I entered the box by mistake that day. I didn't mean to offend anyone, and I apologized. But King Yin detained me by force, so I had to find a way to escape."
"If apologies were useful, there wouldn't be so many souls dying under my command."
That's because you are a traitor!
You are a treacherous minister who kills people without blinking an eye and eats meat without adding salt!
“Ouch!”
The carriage suddenly stopped.
Qin Muyu was about to leap backwards out of inertia, but was pulled back by King Yin and unexpectedly bumped into his thigh.
"hiss!"
From the sound, it seemed like King Yin was hurt.
Qin Muyu said, "You led me, you led me yourself, I was poisoned by the cartilage powder and had no strength, you led me back, you can't blame me for this!"
He concealed the fact that the cartilage powder had been dissolved.
King Yin gave him a cold look, as if scolding him for being weak and useless, and asked, "What's the matter?"
The guard driving the carriage replied, "Master, the princess has stopped your carriage."
"oh?"
Tuoba Mingyue is here.
"Ming Yue meets Uncle Wang."
She stood in front of the carriage with six guards, and her neither humble nor arrogant attitude seemed to indicate that she was well prepared.
Qin Muyu's expression tensed slightly.
"Looking for you?" King Yin glanced at him.
"I……"
"Get under my robes."
Qin Muyu hesitated for a moment, but still listened to him and chose to do so.
His robe was really big. Not only was the hem wide, but the wide sleeves seemed big enough to hide two children. Qin Muyu curled up tightly and hid inside.
"Have you hidden it?"
"I've hidden it."
"The butt is still outside."
Qin Muyu tightened his body and got deeper inside.
"It's well hidden now."
King Yin's brows stretched out a barely perceptible smile, he lifted a corner of the carriage curtain and peered out, "It turns out to be my niece Mingyue."
"What's the matter?"
Tuoba Mingyue took advantage of a gap in the corner of the curtain to look inside the carriage, but did not find any suspicious figures.
"Uncle Wang, I have been chasing an important fugitive these past two days. The guards came to report that they saw this person interacting with Uncle Wang, so they came to check on him."
King Yin smiled coldly:
"so?"
Should we search his carriage or conduct a thorough inspection of Prince Yin’s mansion?
"The guards suspected that they saw something, but they are not sure. You should bring your men to stop my carriage. If one day someone suspects that I am a traitor, wouldn't Princess kill me directly?"
"Ming Yue doesn't dare!"
"So? Tuoba Mingyue, do you want to visit my palace?"
Tuoba Mingyue pursed her lips and looked into the carriage desperately, but did not see Qin Muyu.
"Uncle Wang is busy with his work, Mingyue will not disturb him."
"Then why are you still blocking the road?"
Every word the man said was arrogant and aggressive, not giving Tuoba Mingyue any face at all.
Tuoba Mingyue had no choice but to stand aside and watch King Yin lower the carriage curtain and leave blatantly, but he did not dare to say anything harsh.
This uncle, Prince Yin, controls half of the court. Even her father does not dare to offend him easily, and she does not dare to confront him forcefully.
We are now preparing for a war. If there are changes in the court, internal and external troubles, it will only give Uncle Yin a great advantage.
"Ding Jiu, are you sure you saw General Qin just now?"
The guard named Ding Jiu lowered his head and said:
"I dare not speak rashly, Your Highness. Not long ago, the guards of Prince Yin's Palace were also hunting down wanted criminals."
The wanted criminal they arrested was the same person.
Tuoba Mingyue had already made up his mind.
Uncle Yin has always been against his father.
Qin Muyu is her prisoner, and she must capture him so that she can better cooperate with Chu Yeli and negotiate terms with Da Chu.
"Someone, notify our informant in Prince Yin's Palace..."
-
The carriage drove to Prince Yin's palace.
Back to this familiar place.
Qin Muyu jumped off the carriage and was about to run, but King Yin grabbed him by the collar and pulled him back with one hand.
He pretended to struggle several times, but failed to break free.
"Young General Qin of the Great Chu turns out to be a useless guy who is not even capable of tying up a chicken." King Yin made fun of him, and the guards beside him all laughed.
Qin Muyu's face turned red with anger, but he was also certain in his heart that he could stay in Prince Yin's Mansion.
The King of Yin has always been incompatible with the royal family and has always opposed them. As long as he is of sufficient use to Tuoba Mingyue, he will not kill him.
He wanted to catch himself and deliberately anger Tuoba Mingyue.
They laughed at him.
He remembered it all!
Ahri is right. Getting scolded won’t hurt you.
It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge.
"Your Highness, you are finally back. The young master was clamoring to see you." Inside the mansion, the butler strode over.
The young prince?
He has a son?!
