A cough-like laughter came from Yan Xu's throat, "No need to ask, no need to ask. The eldest son has been extremely talented since he was a child, but he has developed an opaque temper. What killed him in the end must be his pedantic kindness. "
Mu Qingyan was silent.
Yan Xu said: "Nie Zhe hasn't sent anyone to bring me food or drink in the past few days. I thought he wanted to starve me to death. It turns out that you came to Paradise Palace and he was busy dealing with it. Please put me down, young master." Come on, if the young master will not give up, I will be willing to assist the young master to achieve great things."
Mu Qingyan pretended to smile and said, "I dare not take it seriously. When my grandfather passed away suddenly, many members of the church advocated that Nie Hengcheng should temporarily take over the position of leader of the church over his father. Elder Qiu did not agree in any case. When the two sides were in a stalemate, it was you who stood up to all the opinions. Standing on Nie Hengcheng's side, Elder Qiu is so angry that he vomits blood. The past is still there, and this junior cannot bear the respect of the elders."
Yan Xu puffed his beard and glared: "You don't have to be arrogant towards me. I only serve the Divine Religion. God can tell you! Back then, I supported Nie Hengcheng for the Divine Religion. I was imprisoned here by Nie Zhe ten years ago for the Divine Religion. Now I am willing to assist. You’re even doing it for the Divine Religion!”
This confession had no effect on Mu Qingyan at all.
Cai Zhao pulled Mu Qingyan's sleeve and asked, "What, do you want to put him down?"
Mu Qingyan was like looking at an ignorant child: "What matters is whether to let him down? No. What matters is who will carry him out after letting him down."
Cai Zhao blinked.
Mu Qingyan: "He has been imprisoned for ten years and has not eaten or drank for several days. He must be very weak. Who will carry him out later, you or me? I won't carry this old thing."
Cai Zhao immediately said: "Then let Elder Yan stay here for a while. He has been here for ten years, and he is not in a hurry to be loyal to the divine religion."
"Zhaozhao is so good, and he follows good deeds so quickly." Mu Qingyan touched her head.
Cai Zhao originally thought that Yan Xu would be furious after hearing these words, but unexpectedly he just looked hesitantly between himself and Mu Qingyan.
"Young Master, you... are you married? Are you marrying this little lady?" Yan Xu spoke tentatively.
Mu Qingyan raised his chin unconsciously, with a smile on his lips, but reprimanded: "Elder Yan has poor eyesight. Didn't he see that my Zhaozhao is still unmarried, but the big thing has been decided..."
Cai Zhao pinched him from behind. Mu Qingyan looked angry and smiling, and the rippling stone chamber almost shook.
Unexpectedly, Yan Xu suddenly started shouting: "What's the deal? No engagement! No engagement! No engagement at all! Get separated quickly, I don't agree with this marriage!"
Mu and Cai were stunned.
Cai Zhao looked up and down at Elder Yan, who was tied up with iron ropes as if his hoofs were tied. He was in a state of embarrassment and controlled by others. How could he have the confidence to interfere in Mu Qingyan's marriage?
Mu Qingyan said coldly: "Elder Yan has overstepped his bounds, my marriage is out of the question..."
"It won't happen! It won't happen!" Yan Xu roared at the top of his lungs, "For the great plan of the divine sect, this marriage will never happen!"
Cai Zhao couldn't help but said: "Elder doesn't even know who I am, how could he know that I am harmful to your divine religion's eternal plan." Although, in fact, the old man's prediction was correct.
"There is no need to know who you are!" Yan Xu shouted, "The marriages of the Mu family's children have not gone smoothly in the past two hundred years. As long as it is the sweetheart they find, it will cause chaos in the family, and it will cause trouble in the academic affairs. This is no exception. ! Look at his grandfather and me, they just didn’t listen to the old leader and elder Qiu and married according to their own wishes. In the end, did they end well!"
Mu Qingyan's face turned green and yellow, like a pickled cucumber that had just been pickled.
"Has it been like this for two hundred years? Are there no exceptions?" Cai Zhao thought of the carvings on the stone wall and started to gossip, "By the way, where did the wife of your first founder of the religion come from?"
"Master Mu Xiu Jue married a middle-aged wife, and his wife was the orphan left behind by a warrior who died for the divine religion. It is said that a virtuous wife and a husband bring few disasters. It is precisely because of his virtuous wife that Master Mu Xiu Jue created this unparalleled legacy! "The old man knows all his treasures.
Mu Qingyan sneered, "Whether a woman is virtuous or not has nothing to do with the foundation of the religion."
"Of course it has something to do with it. Anyway, she is more virtuous than this little girl!" Yan Xu shouted, "I have met countless people in my life. When I look at this little girl's face, she is Wen Bu Cheng, an embroidery girl, Wu Bu Cheng, a sincere and kind talker, and she can kill people with just one hand. Chicken soup is stewed into shabu-shabu water, right?"
Because everything was right, Mu Qingyan was rarely speechless.
Cai Zhao: ...Why are you attacking me? I didn't do anything.
"Hey, what about the most powerful leader Mu Donglie in your religious sect?" She changed the subject, "How is his wife?"
Yan Xu was heartbroken: "No one is more responsible for the misfortune of his wife than the leader of Donglie! At that time, our sect had forced the six Beichen sects into the back alleys and was about to dominate the world. However, leader Donglie was fascinated by the female spy sent by the enemy. I have lost my mind and left my great foundation and walked away! Oh my, my heart is so sad and regretful!"
"How do you know so well?" Cai Zhao was curious.
Yan Xu shook his disheveled hair: "Of course I know it, because I am the messenger who has been recorded in the history of the religion in this generation. I am not clear about anything!"
Cai Zhao refused to give up: "Then how do you know that this person is doing it carefully? Maybe it's your leader Mu Donglie who has taken advantage of her."
"It must be a careful work. Leader Donglie succeeded to the throne at the age of fourteen. I have never seen anything like this. If she hadn't come to seduce him intentionally, how could the leader go to the new house to make a fuss regardless of his face..."
"Wait, wait, wait!" Cai Zhao was shocked, "That woman has a husband?"
Yan Xu: "Of course, the six Beichen sects like to have multiple kisses and a series of kisses, but they haven't finished the wedding yet."
Mu Qingyan snorted coldly: "Master Donglie will not go to the wedding hall for no reason. There must be something in the past."
Cai Zhao said with emotion: "Yes, since the past has not been settled, we shouldn't do the marriage in a big way, why not just visit the bride secretly."
"..." Mu Qingyan slowly turned his head and stared at her, "What do you mean by this?"
Cai Zhao:......
She said: "It's not interesting. What I mean is, let's get out quickly."
Amidst Old Man Yan's heart-rending roar, Cai Zhao pulled Mu Qingyan's sleeves out of the stone room. Then they explored two more stone chambers, and finally found the stairs leading to the ground in the third one, so they climbed up the steps.
The exit is in a splendid assembly hall, the style is the extravagant and glitzy style that Nie Nie's nephew likes. There is also a large incense burner on the ground with four-legged candle dragons circling the clouds, and the light red smoke is flowing out. Emerge from it.
Mu Qingyan stepped forward, kicked him over, and pulled Cai Zhao away quickly.
When we came out of the back door of Paradise Palace, the sky was bright. Cai Zhao had been in the dark underground for a long time and was a little dizzy when he saw the light of day, but Mu Qingyan adapted very quickly. Cai Zhao changed his mind and couldn't help but feel sad.
They quickly rushed to the front hall of the Paradise Palace, where the two factions were confronting each other.
On one side, the troops were strong but furious, and it was You Guanyue who was at the forefront. After a night and a half of fierce fighting, his clothes were torn, his crown was crooked, and the Dragon Sword in his hand was stained with blood, showing the fierce fighting.
On the other side, there were only a few dozen people left. They were in a state of embarrassment, blocking the front door of the Paradise Palace and refusing to move, shouting sparsely. Among them was a middle-aged man with a smooth head and a pink face.
At this time, he was threatening You Guanyue with cunning words, "...Listen carefully, Mu Shaojun has been trapped by Leader Nie, and the knife is pressed against his neck! If you dare to attack, I will send a message right now Go in and chop your young master into pieces!"
You Guanyue neither wanted to believe it all nor dared not believe it completely, so he could only go around in circles to trick the other party into opening the door.
"Who is this guy?" Cai Zhao asked softly.
Mu Qingyan: "Nie Zhe's outdated male favorite."
Now that the real person has appeared, the clown has made his exit.
Mu Qingyan waved his long sleeves, and a strong gust of wind struck from behind, beating the remaining soldiers to a pulp without any warning. You Guanyue and others were surprised and delighted, and hurriedly stepped forward to help.
When Cai Zhao walked over, the battle was just over.
Mu Qingyan immediately ordered You Guanyue and others to open the door of the front hall and run all the way to the banquet hall where Han Yisu designed to trap them underground. Because Ji Kuo held the iron gate firmly, even the thirteen and others could not break it open no matter how much they hit it. You Guanyue wiped his sweat and said: "Young Master, wait a moment, I will wait for my humble duty to fetch the sledgehammer to attack the city gate..." …”
But Cai Zhao couldn't wait any longer, "Don't go to such trouble." He immediately pulled out the Yang Yang Knife from his waist and slashed it from the gap between the two doors. In an instant, golden red clouds spilled out, and several iron doors were held up by Ji Kuo. The root of the plug is broken.
Lian Shisan and others were stunned and cheered. You Guanyue seemed to recognize Yanyang Dao after shouting twice, and looked at Mu Qingyan in surprise.
As soon as the hall door opened, Lian Shisan followed Mu Qingyan's instructions and led the crowd to use a hammer to smash a large hole in the solid and sealed iron plate floor, revealing the empty darkness below.
After You Guanyue ordered someone to hang a lamp to illuminate it, he saw that the place below was in a mess. The ruins exploded by Han Yisu's black gunpowder, mixed with falling gravel, rotting corpses, and the whole pool of bone-corroding rain. The fishy stench It was unbearable, and the corpse spirit was soaring to the sky.
Fortunately, the stone chamber where the machinery was installed was also blown apart. Two huge stone slabs that were not broken were placed across the broken pillars in the venom pool. Yu Huiyin, Shangguan Haonan and others were able to huddle in these two with difficulty. on a large stone slab.
However, as the corpses under the stone slab were gradually melted away by the bone-eroding rain, the poison gradually overflowed. If the reinforcements had arrived half an hour later, everyone would have died in this poisonous pool.
You Guanyue immediately asked his men to put down a rope ladder to rescue people.
Among these people, Yu Huiyin and Shangguan Haonan were in the best condition. The former only suffered minor bruises, and the latter only had a few bloody marks on his thighs. They tied the others up the rope ladder one by one, and finally climbed up. Rope up.
Cai Zhao saw Song Yuzhi lying on the stretcher without making any sound, and anxiously wanted to rush over to check.
An urgent look came from the side. She quickly changed her route and slapped Shangguan Haonan on the shoulder. "I didn't expect that Shangguan Tan Master, your cultivation is so advanced and powerful!" She knew in her heart that the less she cared about Song Yuzhi, Mu Qing Yan will work harder to heal his injuries.
Poor Shangguan Haonan almost had his lungs knocked out by her.
Li Ruxin, mother and son were not injured at all, but they were frightened and trembling like frightened birds.
Nie Zhe was in the worst situation.
He had been kicked into the poisonous pool by Hu Fengge before, and half of his body was immersed in the bone-corroding rain. In order to save his life, Yu Huiyin had to quickly cut off one of his arms and two legs before the bone-corroding rain spread all over his body. After a whole night of suffering, Nie Zhe, who had lost too much blood, was out of breath and hanging on by a thread.
Mu Qingyan's face was as cold as ice: "Take him down and treat him well. Don't let him die. I still have something to ask him."
The ones in the second worst situation were Hu Fengge and Song Yuzhi.
Hu Fengge's face and body were covered with scorch scars caused by gunpowder explosions; Song Yuzhi's chest, back, arms and head were all violently impacted by the explosion; both of them were unconscious at the moment.
Cai Zhao was shocked.
"Young Master Song did this to save me and Young Master Sien." Shangguan Haonan whispered, "When the stone room was exploded, Elder Hu was injured and fell to the ground immediately because he was closest to the window. Unexpectedly, Elder Han fell to the ground. The dog was buried by a series of explosions, one thunder after another. As soon as I pulled Elder Hu to my side, the surrounding thunder shattered the stone roof, and half of the roof came towards me and Mrs. Li, mother and son."
"Yu Huiyin only had time to pull Elder Hu and Mrs. Li apart. Seeing that I was about to be smashed into the poisonous pool by a huge stone, Mr. Song stood up to resist the falling stone, allowing me to hold Young Mr. Sien and escape, but he himself was seriously injured. .”
Cai Zhao noticed the strange address in his words, "You, you already know the identity of Third Senior Brother?"
Shangguan Haonan's expression was complicated: "Master Song said it himself before he fell into coma. He said that he only used a false name to avoid causing trouble for the family. But my cousin and seventh uncle both died at the hands of his grandfather, the old master Yin. , he can no longer hide it from me. Let me take revenge without any scruples."
"Cousin and seventh uncle?"
Shangguan Haonan scratched his head: "It's Elder Yaoguang and Elder Kaiyang. One counts from my father's side, and the other counts from my mother's side."
"It seems that there are quite a few generations between us." Cai Zhao joked as he looked at Song Yuzhi who was being carried away smoothly.
Shangguan Haonan looked at the direction Song Yuzhi was leaving and said with emotion, "When I was a child, I often heard people say that the Six Beichen Sects are all despicable and cunning villains. They couldn't compete with each other in an honest and fair showdown, so they used sneaky tricks to kill me. My uncle and my seventh uncle and grandpa. I never thought that among them there would be someone as upright and arrogant as Song Shaoxia."
Although they were in an underground poisonous pool, with a tightly sealed iron plate above their heads, and the surrounding holes blocked by gravel, there was always a chance to escape as long as they were comfortable. However, at the moment when the earth shook, Song Yuzhi rushed over to save him and Nie Si'en without even thinking - two people who had not even exchanged a few words.
Shangguan Haonan cannot be said to be ungrateful.
After the place was tidied up, Cai Zhao conscientiously asked someone to carry out the elder Yu Heng who had ridiculed him for not being virtuous. When he turned around, he heard Mu Qingyan giving instructions to You Guanyue.
"Nie Zhe's place is very disgusting. Guanyue, go back and find someone to clean it up. You can look after the rest of the people and arrange them. Elder Hu and Zhao Zhao's senior brother must heal their wounds."
"Go and bring Mrs. Sun here." He said with an indifferent expression and a calm tone, "I'm going to stay at my grandparents and father's old residence, and I'll bring Mrs. Sun and Nie Zhe there -"
The young man who had not rested all day and night showed no sign of fatigue. His bright black pupils were slightly dilated, and his slow tone revealed a bit of long-awaited cruelty.
The author has something to say:
This volume ends in about three chapters. No matter what happens, please remember that the ending is HE.
Chapter 86
Perhaps because they were made by the same great craftsman, the structures of the Paradise Palace and the Muwei Palace are very similar. They are both three levels in the front and three levels in the back. The main hall is in the middle, and then there are seven central halls with a side hall on the left and right sides. The residences of the sect leaders of the past dynasties were often located near the fourth level of the Fatian Hall, located in the middle of the palace, so that they could have full control over the teaching affairs.
However, after the early death of his beloved wife, Mu Qingyan's great-grandfather moved his only son to live in the Wuyu Palace, the last level, in order to avoid being sad. After that, the only son got married, and he married a daughter-in-law who was as stubborn as steel. Then his grandson Mu Zhengming was born, grew up, married another wife and had children... The joys, sorrows, and joys of three generations lingered in this quiet and quiet place. Inside and outside Wuyu Palace.
Ever since Mu Zhengming took Mu Qingyan away to live in seclusion in Huanglaofeng, no one has lived here for a long time.
Fortunately, You Guanyue is the best person in the world to take care of general affairs. In half a day, he tidied up Wuyu Palace, which had been vacant for more than ten years, so that not only his master could be accommodated there, but also several important people could be accommodated. wounded.
