“Get started!”
The killer laughed and stabbed directly at the heart with the sword.
At the critical moment, Qin Muyu flipped his other arm and the dagger slid out and pierced straight into the killer's chest!
Phew!
"Be careful!"
"He still has a weapon!"
The other killers became alert and quickly retreated to both sides, throwing out a few more poisonous insects.
Qin Muyu was busy trying to avoid it, staggering a few steps, and leaning against the wall, almost collapsing.
pain!
The place where the poisonous insect had drilled into was so painful that it was numb. Just one move of internal force made half of the body unresponsive, as if paralyzed.
The killer walked to his companion's body, glanced at the ruby-embedded golden dagger stuck in his chest, and said in a deep voice:
"This is the king's dagger."
The king really treats him differently!
"Who...ahem, sent you here?" Qin Muyu coughed.
The killer looked at him coldly:
"When you get to the underworld, you will know for yourself."
"Even if I die, why not let me die knowingly?"
"Humph! Since you have no choice but to die, I'm not afraid that you will reveal it. Your existence has prevented Miss Guan from ascending to the throne. Now you should understand who wants you dead, right?"
Miss Guan!
Guan family!
Qin Muyu stroked his chest. He understood at this moment, but also found it funny. After a few muffled coughs, he saw the killers attacking him.
He lost the power to resist.
perhaps……
I will explain everything here today.
But he hasn't brought back what Ahri wants...
Seeing the sharp sword approaching him, he stumbled half a step and fell to the ground. When he slowly closed his eyes, he vaguely saw a bright red figure...
A powerful aura, like an overwhelming tidal wave, knocked all the killers away.
“Hmm!”
"ah!"
"puff!"
Several people slipped and fell to the ground, stirring up a lot of dust. They coughed up blood, and died with their necks twisted.
Xiao Jueli hurried over, only to see his master withdraw his hand, turn around and help General Qin up.
He knelt on one knee and said, "Master, it was my negligence that failed to protect General Qin!"
King Yin supported Qin Muyu, "Ayu? Ayu!"
He fell into a coma and had no response. His head tilted weakly to one side, revealing dark purple blood vessels bulging from his exposed neck, and a black worm quickly crawled through it.
King Yin pinched his wrist and saw a small cut on the back of his hand.
It's a Gu!
The man's eyes suddenly showed shock and fear, like a gust of wind sweeping away all the clouds, "How dare these people use Gu on my people!"
It was all his fault. When he was in the palace, he shouldn't have quarreled with A Yu, and he wouldn't have left the palace alone to face danger.
Fortunately, he was always thinking about him, so he rushed out of the palace to look for him.
If he was a step later, the consequences... he didn't dare to think about it.
Xiao Jue stepped forward quickly and checked the bodies of those people, "Master, they are from the Guan family..."
"Guan family," King Yin picked up Qin Muyu and slowly stood up, with a warm smile in his eyes, "Very good."
He once gave Guan Yajun a choice: fame, fortune, title and wealth, or death.
It seems that she has made her choice.
"Mr. Guan has been the Prime Minister of the Cabinet for too long, and the head of all officials for too long, and he can no longer distinguish the etiquette between the monarch and his subjects."
The Guan family committed treason, used all means necessary, abused their power, and touched people who should not be touched.
The surname of this land belongs to Tuoba, not Guan!
King Yin walked away slowly with Qin Muyu in his arms. Only his cold voice floated in the dark alley with the wind:
"Since he is seeking his own death, then let him do it."
-
cell.
It was dim and gloomy, with a strong and complex smell floating in the air. In the long and dark passage, the man's footsteps were steady and cold, walking towards the depths step by step.
Finally, it stopped in front of a prison cell.
Inside the iron fence, a thin figure was sitting cross-legged on a wooden bed. When he heard the footsteps, he immediately opened his eyes and looked over.
"King Yin!"
Tuoba Mingyue stood up suddenly and ran over, "Where did you imprison Chu Yeli?"
I haven't seen her for a few days. Now she is dressed simply, without any hairpins or jewelry. Her face is a little haggard, but her eyes are fixed on the man outside the iron fence.
After the defeat in that battle, she and Chu Yeli were escorted back to the royal capital.
It’s not a big deal for her that she’s locked up here, but Chu Yeli was seriously injured while trying to save her, and I don’t know how he’s doing now.
King Yin stood with his hands behind his back, glancing at her calmly:
"Now that you are a prisoner, have you forgotten the rules of respecting the elders and the younger ones?"
Tuoba Mingyue held onto the iron bars tightly, anger lingering in his eyes:
"Uncle Yin, you have already obtained this land, why are you so aggressive? If you dare to hurt Chu Yeli's life, I will not let you go even if I become a ghost!"
The man chuckled: "Ha."
very good.
The Tuoba family is indeed full of romantic people.
There was only one woman in the late king's harem, the late queen, and she only raised one child, Tuoba Mingyue, in her entire life.
Tuoba Mingyue is exactly like the previous king, both of them are people who value love and affection.
It was this kind of character that helped him a lot.
In fact, he also had to thank Chu Yeli for restraining Tuoba Mingyue, allowing him to eliminate Tuoba Mingyue's forces without any effort. How could he hurt Chu Yeli's life?
Chu Yeli is a good chess piece.
"My little niece, you and I are of the same bloodline. I will not harm your life. Instead, I will help you and Chu Yeli to be together, and I will also give you the southern border as a fiefdom."
Tuoba Mingyue's expression gradually calmed down and she stared at the man in front of her.
No one goes to the temple unless he has something to do.
"What do you want?"
King Yin raised his lip and said, "Destroy the Guan family."
Tuoba Mingyue narrowed his eyes immediately: "You want me to go?"
This old fox!
"The Guan family has been following the royal family since my grandfather's generation, and they have served my father for many years. Now you want me, a junior, to take the blame for you?"
Doing this kind of sinful thing.
She was asked to do all the insults, dirty work and tiring work, but King Yin remained spotless and high above everyone else.
"Besides, you gave me Southern Xinjiang, which is a troubled place. It borders the Southern Barbarians to the south, the Chu to the north, and the Qin State to the northwest. Once you have any disputes, Southern Xinjiang will become your battlefield. Why are you throwing this hot potato to me?"
And he said it so high-soundingly, as if it were a gift.
King Yin smiled as usual:
"I have already put forward my conditions. As for whether you are willing to make a deal with me..."
He glanced at the light outside the iron window and said, "Give me your answer before sunset. Don't forget that Chu Yeli is still waiting for you."
"you!"
-
When we returned to Zhaohua Palace, it was already dusk.
The air in the hall is quiet and peaceful.
Qin Muyu lay quietly on the bed, with his right hand spread out and hanging beside the bed, wrapped in several rounds of gauze. The poisonous insect had been taken out, but he had not woken up yet.
Tuoba Mo lay on the edge of the bed, looking at him eagerly:
"Uncle Qin... why haven't you woken up yet... it's all my father's fault for being useless. He couldn't even take care of you..."
The corners of my eyes are red and I am almost worried to death.
"If anything happens to you, I will follow you... I will let my father go with you."
Xiao Jue stood aside, his eyes twitching slightly.
Over the years, the young master has never been close to anyone else except General Qin.
He didn't dare to stick to his master.
Because the master will beat him, and the master believes that a real man should not learn to be weak and coquettish like a woman.
Shameful.
"Young Master, the poison has been removed in time. General Qin is a martial artist with an extraordinary physique. I believe he will wake up soon."
Tuoba Mo wiped the corners of his eyes, and a cruel look flashed across his half-childish face:
"Those people bullied Uncle Qin because he was an outsider and didn't know the art of witchcraft, and used this to poison him. Immediately summon all the wizards in the Bureau of Gu, and anyone who can make a sunflower that is immune to all kinds of witchcraft will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins!"
Xiao Jue lowered his head:
"I will pass the message immediately."
When he retreated to the door, he saw the person coming towards him and bowed his head again: "Master."
King Yin came and said: "Take the young prince away with you."
Xiao Jue understood.
He immediately rushed into the house and shouted, "Young Master, let's go to the Gu Bureau together. The Xiangyang Flower, which is immune to all kinds of poisons, is an extremely rare and precious item. If you don't keep an eye on it yourself and it gets tampered with by bad guys, it will be troublesome."
Tuoba Mo looked at Qin Muyu hesitantly, "If I leave, then Uncle Qin..."
"Don't worry, the master will take good care of him. If General Qin wakes up and knows that you worked hard to make the sunflower for him, he will definitely be very touched."
Tuoba Mo thought about it:
Uncle Qin was so grateful that he spun around with him in a hug and kissed him fiercely...
His face flushed, and he immediately clamped his legs together shyly, saying shyly:
"So what are we waiting for? Let's go."
"Um!"
Xiao Jue immediately took Tuoba Mo away.
Qin Muyu was the only one left in the room. He was sleeping and the air was so quiet that one could almost hear his breathing.
The sound of footsteps...
Stop in front of the bed.
King Yin stared at his pale face. He slept with his head slightly tilted. The outline of his face was very soft, even the curve of his nose was white and soft. His lips were slightly parted, and his breathing was rising and falling gently.
He turned over and sat down, tucked the corner of the quilt with his hand, and saw several circles of gauze wrapped around the back of his hand, which was extremely glaring.
"Ayu, it was my negligence that allowed someone with ulterior motives to take advantage of the situation."
The man's eyes were filled with murderous intent, as cold as a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue: "But it doesn't matter, killing is my strong point."
It’s time to destroy the Guan family.
Qin Muyu lay there quietly, without making a sound.
The King of Yin spoke to him for a while, then ordered someone to bring hot water and carefully wipe the back of his hands and cheeks.
Afterwards, he stayed by the bed.
The maid came in quietly: "Your Majesty, the medicine is ready."
"Bring it here."
King Yin raised his hand to pick up the medicine bowl, and frowned when he saw the dark medicine juice, "Go make a bowl of honey water, make it sweeter."
"yes."
"Ayu, this medicine may be a little bitter, just bear with it and you will be fine after drinking it." He scooped up a small half spoonful, blew on it, gently touched the corner of Qin Muyu's lips, and watched the medicine seep into his mouth through the gap between his thin lips.
"cough……"
Qin Muyu coughed.
"Ayu!"
His eyelashes trembled slightly, but returned to calm in just a moment. His curled eyelashes cast a shadow on his eyelids, as if the trembling just now was an illusion.
King Yin scooped up another small spoonful and said, "Come, drink the medicine."
The spoon touched his lips, but he couldn't get it in.
Keep your mouth shut.
He woke up but did not open his eyes.
King Yin looked at him and asked, "How can you get better without taking medicine?"
Qin Muyu didn't move.
"Now that you are awake, you refuse to talk to me. Are you still blaming me for not protecting you well enough and causing you to get hurt? Yes, I apologize. This matter is indeed..."
"King Yin!"
Qin Muyu suddenly opened his eyes, his emotions fluctuated greatly, and his voice was also very loud:
"I came to Nanman to retrieve the poisonous insect for the Regent King. I have no other intentions. Please keep your promise so that I can return to Da Chu as soon as possible!"
Those cold words directly drew a line between the two of them and were also a clear rejection.
King Yin understood, and the color in his eyes gradually darkened a little, and then returned to a bottomless calm, "Oh."
The fingers holding the medicine bowl were pinched until they turned white and made faint sounds, almost crushing the bowl, but his face remained calm as he said:
"You should have a good rest. I will give you the poisonous insect as soon as possible."
Bang!
He put the medicine bowl down with a thud, stood up, and strode away.
Qin Muyu looked over and could sense the man's gloom and displeasure, but...
He has to do this.
King Yin's idea is wrong. How can they...
Qin Muyu retracted his gaze, closed his eyes, suppressed the inappropriate thoughts in his mind, and looked at the white curtain above his head.
He has to return to Da Chu as soon as possible.
After getting the poisonous insect and returning to Da Chu, perhaps he will never come to Nanman again in his life, and will never see King Yin again in his life.
By then, maybe everything will be back on track...
-
During the following period of time, King Yin was very busy and did not come to Zhaohua Palace again. Even Tuoba Mo did not see him.
At the same time, a huge disturbance arose in the court.
Something happened to the Guan family!
Bribery, buying and selling official positions, corruption, taking human lives lightly... Tuoba Mingyue revealed one thing after another, shocking the court and the people:
"Prime Minister Guan is highly respected and has served as an official for his entire life. I never expected that he would do so many shameful things!"
"On the surface, he was concerned for the country and the people, but he turned out to be a venomous snake that eats people without leaving any bones!"
"Aunt Wang's daughter-in-law was abducted and raped by the second-generation scion of the Guan family!"
"And the natural disasters a few years ago..."
As the saying goes, when the wall falls, everyone pushes it.
With Tuoba Mingyue fanning the flames and mobilizing the people, just one person's spit was enough to drown someone.
In the court.
Old Master Guan knelt on the ground, his old body trembling slightly, and said loudly:
"Your Majesty, I am innocent! I am innocent!"
"I have served three kings loyally. Even the last king and the last king praised my loyalty. How could I do those things?"
King Yin sat on the throne and said with great sorrow:
"Prime Minister Guan, you stand up first. Your loyalty is something I have always seen and cannot be questioned. However, there are constant disturbances outside. If I do not send someone to investigate, how can I calm down the public?"
"How about I kill all those who criticize me?"
Mr. Guan was shocked.
This won’t do!
If the king really did this, wouldn't it be suspected of favoritism and would only serve to solidify the charges against the Guan family.
He immediately said, "Your Majesty trusts me, and I am extremely grateful. As far as I know, these things were done by Tuoba Mingyue. I suspect that after she lost the battle and power, she held a grudge and deliberately targeted me in order to undermine your power!"
Therefore, as long as Tuoba Mingyue is killed, the problem can be solved.
