At this time, Rong Si had already guessed in her heart that Mu Lianxuan had most likely sentenced her to death. If he had not been concerned about the existence of Rong Feizhou, he might have killed her long ago.
But what does it matter? I heard that when Rong Tianpu died, several groups of people went to the general's mansion. They were all after Rong Tianpu's military token that could command thousands of troops. Who would have thought that not long ago, Rong Feizhou, under the "relentless pursuit" of several other generals in the barracks, threw out the military token he inherited from his father. It was said that it was stuffed into Rong Feizhou's package by Rong Tianpu when he left the general's mansion. He found it not long ago.
Rong Si didn't know what Rong Feizhou was thinking about this, but it was definitely not going to be an easy thing for her.
As long as she has such a brother with her, she can be safe and sound, and even live freely for the whole day.
If Mu Lianxuan wants to touch her, he must think carefully!
Rong Si curled the corners of her mouth.
It was almost evening when the imperial army finally arrived at the Huguo Temple in a mighty procession.
A group of old monks in official uniforms were already standing at the door waiting for them.
After arranging the rooms for all of them to stay in, Mu Yuanxiu went to fast and bathe to prepare, while Rong Si and several other concubines accompanied the Queen Mother to finish the vegetarian meal. Then, with the help of the palace maids and eunuchs, they each returned to their rooms.
Rong Si, who was staying in the side room, looked at the moon hanging in the sky. She inexplicably felt that the color of the crescent moon seemed to be a little wrong. It was not as bright and clear as they usually saw. Instead, it had a faint and ominous blood color. Even Rong Si's heart beat irregularly.
Xuchun, who had followed her to the Huguo Temple, made the bed and asked Rongsi to come and have a rest. After all, if Rongsi went to burn incense with him tomorrow, it would probably take up a lot of energy. The main problem was the journey. These concubines, who were usually high and mighty, would have to follow the emperor on foot to climb higher up the mountain, and kneel on the ground to listen to the long chanting and blessings. There would be no time to rest in between, not even time to drink a sip of water. If they didn't have a good rest now, they would make a fool of themselves when burning incense tomorrow. It would be a real big mistake, and in serious cases it might even implicate the family. Therefore, everyone, including Xuchun, attached great importance to it.
Hearing Xuchun's urging, Rong Si responded and was about to reach out to close the window of the wing room when she suddenly caught a glimpse of a shadow flashing across the roof of the wing room opposite her. You have to know that she has no martial arts skills in this body, and it is impossible for her to capture that shadow with her naked eyes. It seems that the system deliberately let her discover it. Could there be some problem
Thinking of this, Rong Si paused as she was closing the window, then stood up gently.
"My lady?"
Xuchun, who was standing behind her, looked at Rong Si standing motionless in front of the window and asked.
Rong Si came back to her senses, turned around and smiled, "Oh, Xuchun, go ask the little monk who brought us in earlier if there is any mosquito repellent. There are too many mosquitoes on the mountain, and I'm afraid that they will buzz around and I won't be able to rest well at night, which will delay the incense burning tomorrow."
When Xuchun heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then listening to the incessant buzzing of mosquitoes in his ears, he immediately nodded and walked out.
Not long after she walked out, Rong Si glanced at the crescent moon in the sky that was completely covered by dark clouds, her eyes moved, and she also walked out.
The room she lived in was right next to the Empress Dowager's room. If there was nothing wrong with the system, the shadow just now would most likely have fallen into the Empress Dowager's yard.
Queen Mother, Queen Mother...
I remember when they first arrived at the Huguo Temple, they heard the leading monk say that the Queen Mother's complexion was not right, and he would take her pulse after the incense was finished. At the time, Mu Yichen's poison was cured by an old monk from the Huguo Temple, so...
Rong Si's heart moved.
Mu Yichen!
He also followed. Not only that, he was most likely worried that the Queen Mother's poison would be diagnosed by the abbot tonight, so he would take action against the Queen Mother tonight to completely resolve the grievances of the previous generation.
Thinking of this, Rong Si moved faster. The empress dowager's chamber was not far from her. She trotted there in a short while. When she pushed open the gate, she heard a creaking sound. It was quiet inside without any sound. The palace maids and eunuchs who always served the empress dowager were nowhere to be seen, but there was no sign of a fight, which made Rong Si even more surprised.
Rong Si walked across the yard and was about to push open the door of the wing room when she suddenly heard a noise behind her.
"Assassin! There's an assassin! Protect the Emperor!"
Rong Si's hand was against the door. At the same time, Mu Yichen behind the door was silently waiting for the other party to push the door. Behind him, Murong Wan's eyes bulged, her tongue stuck out, her face full of tears, and her expression was unclear whether it was pleasure or regret. Her pair of bare feet swung back and forth in the air.
Let’s go back in time to when Rong Si hadn’t come yet.
Mu Yichen quietly landed in Murong Wan's room, called out to the maids and eunuchs one by one and went straight into the inner room. He happened to see Murong Wan looking at the wrinkles on her face in the mirror. Since Rong Tianpu left, her wrinkles have increased day by day. According to the abbot, her health is probably not as it looks. It's because of excessive worry. Could it be...
"Is it really him?"
As soon as Murong Wan finished her guess, Mu Yichen's figure immediately appeared in her bronze mirror.
"it's me."
He said softly.
The jade comb in Murong Wan's hand fell to the ground. She turned around abruptly and her eyes widened immediately.
"It's you, it's really you, I was not mistaken." Murong Wan stood up, "You have been pretending to be crazy and stupid for so many years! Haha, you are completely different from your really stupid mother..."
Before Murong Wan could finish her words, she was slapped in the face by Mu Yichen, "You are not worthy of mentioning my mother."
Murong Wan's mouth was bleeding from the palm blast, but she immediately raised her head, "Indeed, you are just a defeated opponent, I am too lazy to mention it. I just regret that I failed to test your wolfish ambitions in the palace, and Si Er happened to save you."
Speaking of Rong Si, Mu Yichen was silent.
"Why? You are here to take my life today, to avenge your ill-fated mother. The harem is like a battlefield, where winners and losers are common. Su Qing has always thought highly of herself, thinking of being the mother of the country, and fulfilling her duties as the queen, and never disdained those petty tricks. She has beauty and family background, but never strives to make progress. Even if I, Murong Wan, am gone, there will be Zhang Wan and Li Wan to bring her down..."
"But you killed her..."
“If I don’t kill you, will you keep her alive and wait for her to react and fight with me? Let her raise you to adulthood and then fight with my Xiu’er? Hehehe…” Murong Wan sneered twice, and actually laughed out her tears. Then she looked in the direction of Mu Yichen with a lightning-like gaze, “Since you can come to me today, then is Tianpu’s death related to you?!”
Hearing this, Mu Yichen had no intention of answering and continued to look at her coldly.
"Does it have anything to do with you?" Murong Wan shouted again.
Mu Yichen stepped forward and said, "So what? Killing someone means paying with your life. That's only natural!"
"Hahaha, it's only natural, it's only natural! I don't know if Si'er knows that she saved the murderer who killed her father..."
Upon hearing Murong Wan say this, Mu Yichen's expression moved slightly uncontrollably.
But even such a slight change was captured accurately by Murong Wan.
"You... you wouldn't... hahahaha... haha... you slept with Si'er? This is such a joke, you actually slept with Si'er! Haha, you two can never be together, never. You killed her father, there's no such thing as a broken wall, she'll find out sooner or later, and when she finds out, she'll just hate you for the rest of her life... hahaha... it's all retribution! It's all retribution..."
Before Murong Wan finished her words, Mu Yichen's ears moved. Someone was coming outside!
He took two steps forward, took out the white silk that he had prepared earlier, raised his hand and swung it around Murong Wan's neck. At the same time, his toes tapped the ground and the wall lightly, and his lightness skill of walking on snow left no trace. He tied Murong Wan to the beam in the wing room, and watched her struggle in pain. His expression was as ferocious as when his mother was forced to drink the poisoned wine. In addition to despair, his eyes actually carried a hint of pleasure and mockery.
After struggling and struggling, the thing he had hated, resented, and endured for ten years finally stopped moving. His hands loosened, his eyes bulged, and even his tongue stuck out. His bare feet swung in the air...
He still remembered that his father had personally praised this pair of breasts, but now they had become a pair of dead objects.
For some reason, Mu Yichen felt that his heart suddenly felt very empty. Coincidentally, at this moment, the woman running outside the wall finally pushed open the gate, paused for a moment, and then walked straight to the door of the wing room.
Hearing the familiar breath, Mu Yichen's raised knife fell down.
Rong Si... it's her...
How could it be her
Mu Yichen took out the mask he had brought with him, the one he had bought for the Lantern Festival that was a pair with Rong Si, and slowly put it on his face.
Murong Wan's ridicule just now still lingered in his ears like a curse. Perhaps it was time to put an end to it. Not only Mu Yichen but also the masked man should put an end to the feelings they had for Rong Si.
The two of them are impossible, never possible...
Just as Rong Si was about to push open the wooden door, there was a sudden noise outside the yard. Rong Si's raised hand fell instantly and she walked out in surprise.
Listening to Rong Si's receding footsteps, Mu Yichen was unsure whether he should be happy or sad.
He turned around and glanced at Murong Wan, who was hanging behind him and had no breath left. The mockery in her eyes had not yet completely faded. He covered his eyes with his hands, chuckled softly, stood up and jumped out of the window sill.
On this side, after Rong Si followed the sound and walked out of the courtyard, she saw a blazing fire in Mu Yuanxiu's room not far away. Apart from Mu Lianxuan, there would be no one else who would attack Mu Yuanxiu, but why would he do it now
When Rong Si was about to run over there, a big knife fell from her nose. She dodged it narrowly. She looked up and saw the man in black looking at her expressionlessly, then nodded to the people beside him, "It's her!"
Is it her/him? What does it mean
Rong Si was shocked, but before she could react, the three men in black standing in front of her immediately rushed towards her with swords raised.
Rong Si ran forward quickly without thinking. Thinking of the fire from Mu Yuanxiu's side, Rong Si felt hatred in her heart. Mu Lianxuan actually wanted to kill her in the chaos. Then he could just say that she was killed when the assassin attacked. Even Rong Feizhou might not know the truth. He might even choose to help Mu Yuanxiu because he was angry with him!
A bitch!
Rong Si gritted her teeth. Because the skirt of her palace dress was too long, she ran too fast and didn't pay attention. She stepped on it and rolled on the ground twice like a rolling gourd. After she reacted, she took off her shoes and threw them at the person who came without thinking.
System, I...
Before she could finish her words, the next second, the three people who were holding swords and preparing to chop at her fell to the ground at the same time, revealing masks with faces that were extremely familiar to Si.
Rong Si looked at him with wide eyes, opened and closed her lips twice, wanting to say something but no sound came out. Then she watched him pick up the shoes that Rong Si threw away, walk to her side, half-kneel down, and quickly put them on for her.
He reached out and pulled her up from the ground, "Let's go!"
"you… "
Before Rong Si could finish her words, Mu Yichen pulled her forward quickly, "I'll take you to Mu Yuanxiu, you take good care of yourself..."
He didn't know why he came here to investigate after hearing the fighting sounds. When he saw Rong Si was almost hacked to death by the three men, he was so frightened that he couldn't breathe. He used all his strength to knock the three men to the ground. Now he felt a little weak in his Dantian, and the hand that was not holding Rong Si was shaking to the point where he couldn't control it.
Even as she was being dragged by Mu Yichen to run like this, Rong Si's mind was clearer than ever. If she hadn't seen Mu Yichen's shadow following her, she would have been caught by these three men in black and would have been dead. That's why the system was designed to help her avoid death this time. Since martial arts exist in this world, after she completes the task, she must practice them no matter what. This feeling of being powerless and having to wait to die is really unpleasant.
Mu Lianxuan, is that right? If I don't torture you to death this time, I won't do any strategy missions in the future. I'd rather die in this plane and put an end to it all.
This was the first time that Rong Si was inspired to fight like this.
Mu Lianxuan, who had calmed down, turned around and looked at Rong Si's angry and lively expression, and suddenly a strange sense of satisfaction arose in his heart.
Hearing that someone might be coming, Mu Yichen immediately let go of Rong Si's hand and said, "Go ahead. The person in front should be the emperor's men. I'm leaving first."
"Song..."
Rong Si's voice had not yet been fully uttered.
Mu Yichen, who had just climbed over the wall, was immediately knocked down by a palm from the big monk who suddenly appeared on the wall.
"How dare you come to my Huguo Temple and act so recklessly!"
The big monk dressed in scarlet robes had a righteous look on his face. He was a monk they had never seen before. Mu Yichen was hit by his palm and spit out blood. The blood slid down his chin and soon wet the black robe on his chest.
Rong Si was shocked.
Looking at the other side, Mu Yuanxiu had already rushed over quickly with a group of people. Among the group of people behind him was Mu Lianxuan, but that guy's face was a little dark. It seemed that he had not expected that there were some hidden masters hidden in the Huguo Temple, such as this unkind monk. He must have suffered a loss.
When Rong Si saw Mu Yuanxiu rushing towards her with an anxious look on his face, her heart moved and a look of surprise immediately appeared on her face. She was about to pounce on him.
Seeing Rong Si's unreluctant action, Mu Yichen felt a bitter feeling in his heart, which had not yet spread.
Seeing Rong Si stepping on the hem of her skirt, she twisted her foot and was about to step back, and fell into her arms with two stumbles.
"Hold me."
When they met, he saw her lips saying this silently.
His heart trembled at that moment, and he stretched out his hands to pinch her neck. When he saw the fear on her face, his hands trembled and his strength weakened. But Rong Si moved closer and pinched his leg lightly.
The big monk above who knows martial arts is still watching. Mu Yichen is so waterproof, he wonders if he wants to leave or not.
"Let her go!" Mu Yuanxiu ran over quickly, looking extremely anxious.
"If you want to leave, I'll let you go, as long as you let her go."
He continued to discuss this.
Mu Lianxuan beside him looked at Mu Yuanxiu's posture, his eyes flickered slightly, but he had no intention of speaking. Moreover, the man opposite was not his man. His men were no match for the group of hidden old monks in the Huguo Temple.
He was unwilling to accept this because Mu Yuanxiu knew about this matter but he had no idea. He was the one who was beaten beyond recognition as a child, he was the one who lived like a dog, he was the one who was abandoned, he was the one who did not know the secret of the Huguo Temple, and he was the one who had no chance of becoming emperor.
How could he be willing to accept this!
As for Rong Si, she was nothing more than a hindrance. It didn't matter if she was alive, and it wouldn't make any difference if she died.
But why does Mu Yuanxiu seem to have fallen in love with her
How ridiculous! That kind of woman! Haha!
"Then you all retreat, everyone, including the monk on the wall."
"Okay, okay, retreat, everyone, retreat, Master Baohong..."
The big monk standing on the wall paused when he saw the emperor looking at him pleadingly, then immediately jumped down from the wall.
"Retreat, all retreat. As long as you return Si'er to me, I will let you go and never pursue the matter." Mu Yuanxiu clenched his slightly trembling hands and put them behind his back.
"Your Majesty, no!"
Behind him, several guards shouted a reminder. After all, all the assassins who were captured alive before had committed suicide by taking poison, and only this one was still alive. Now that Master Baohong, the most skilled martial artist in the temple, was here, they could capture him alive, and by then they could pry any information they wanted out of him.
In their view, the emperor's safety is the most important thing, and the forces behind these assassins must be wiped out.
"If I say yes, then yes. In the end, are you the emperor or am I? Behind Concubine Rong is General Rong, and he only has this one sister. What? Do you want me and General Rong to be separated?"
Mu Yuanxiu shouted.
However, Mu Yichen ignored the conversation of these people and retreated with Rong Si. Finally, they retreated directly to the cliff on the side of Huguo Temple, with nowhere to retreat.
At this moment, the palace maids behind them ran over with a look of fear on their faces, and then fell to their knees on the ground with a plop, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, She has passed away..."
"What did you say?" Mu Yuanxiu staggered, somewhat unbelieving. Even Mu Lianxuan looked shocked.
Rong Si, who was standing opposite them, nestled in Mu Yichen's arms, her eyes wide open, and her whole body was stunned.
Mu Yichen's hand loosened involuntarily, and he could not help but think of the mocking look of the Queen Mother. He heard that the Queen Mother treated Rong Si well, and even wanted to send her to the position of Queen when she was sick before.
While Mu Yichen was distracted, Mu Lianxuan reacted quickly and seized the opportunity. He stepped forward and was about to hit Mu Yichen on the shoulder, and took the opportunity to snatch Rong Si away.
After all, she is now a key figure who can influence both Rong Feizhou and Mu Yuanxiu.
No one present reacted to this sudden change, only Rong Si, who had already anticipated it, reacted quickly, then moved her feet and turned her body to the side, "Be careful..."
He only had time to say this to Mu Yichen before he was knocked off the cliff by Mu Lianxuan's palm.
"Si'er!"
"Allow… "
Before Mu Yichen could say the rest of the words, he hit Mu Lianxuan's chest with his red eyes, who had no time to react, and knocked him off the cliff with the same palm.
Then he quickly escaped from one side.
Rong Si, Rong Si, Rong Si...
He shouted this madly in his heart.
He was going to find her, he would find her, he would definitely find her, there was absolutely no way anything would happen to him! Absolutely not!
"Si'er!"
Mu Yuanxiu staggered to the front of the cliff, but could only see darkness below and nothing could be seen. His blood rushed up and he passed out.
During the few seconds of falling, Rong Si just communicated with the system and heard its beautiful prompt tone.
System: The key target of the strategy is Mu Yuanxiu, whose favorability is 100. The strategy is completed and 6 gold coins are obtained.
System: General capture target Mu Yichen, favorability 100, capture completed, obtain 60 gold coins.
With the sound of gold coins clinking and falling, Rong Si smiled and floated into the river below. Almost at the same time, there was a loud bang, which made Rong Si laugh even more happily, and she fell into darkness... (83 Chinese.83.)
