I don't want to return

Mu Chongyu was stunned for a moment, and unconsciously staggered two steps. At this moment, he saw that group of men in black gradually approaching Xue Jinghong, and with a flash of the knife in his hand, he went straight to Xue Jinghong's neck.

Xue Jinghong couldn't hold the sword with his right hand, so he could barely block it with his not-so-proficient left hand. With a "boom", his arm was sore, but the sword was knocked off by the strong force of the man in black.

This was caught by the opponent.Seeing another sword light coming through the air, Mu Chongyu's heart sank, his body was already a step ahead of his consciousness, and he swung his sword violently to block, protecting Xue Jinghong.

"Chongyu!" Xue Jinghong shouted in a low voice, not knowing whether it was surprise or anger.

Mu Chongyu had no time to pay attention to it, and only gritted his teeth and fought hard, picked up the sword on the ground and kicked it to Xue Jinghong.Then, as if without thinking, he leaned close to Xue Jinghong and exposed his back to him.

"Now is not the time to humbly push each other. No matter who they are targeting, they will definitely not let either of you and me escape in vain. Your Majesty, if you want to survive, pick up the sword."

Mu Chongyu said calmly.

Xue Jinghong was slightly stunned, his heartbeat seemed to speed up suddenly.He quickly lowered his arms to pick up the sword, but the place where Mu Chongyu touched his back seemed to have warm water flowing, warm and numb.

Seeing the situation, a man in black slashed at him with his sword again, and Xue Jinghong quickly fought back. This time he seemed to have finally gotten used to it, holding the hilt of the sword tightly with his left hand, and pierced the man in black's shoulder with his sword.

Blood gushed out and splashed onto Xue Jinghong's lapel, but he was not surprised, with a strange smile on his face.

He and Chongyu are now fighting side by side. They are friends who can give each other their backs. The men in black with hideous faces outside are the enemies.

At least at this moment, it is true.

Xue Jinghong's heart felt as if wrapped in cotton candy, and he suddenly felt his body was much lighter. Even though he was using his left hand at this moment, he was fast and ruthless, making the men in black dare not get close to him.

But after all, they are less against many, and their physical strength is gradually losing.If it goes on like this, it is bound to be succeeded by the opponent.

Xue Jinghong frowned, lowered his voice and whispered something to Mu Chongyu.Mu Chongyu didn't answer at first, but seeing that the situation couldn't delay any longer, he nodded heavily.

At this moment, Xue Jinghong suddenly took a few steps forward and took the initiative to fight, attracting the attention of most people in black.The man in black was about to draw his sword and slash at him, but he heard Xue Jinghong suddenly raise his voice, "Are you guys sent by Prime Minister Yang?"

The man in black was startled by this question. Although he didn't stop for a while, the movements of his hands were slowed down for a moment.Mu Chongyu saw this opportunity, rushed out of the encirclement, jumped, and swam into the depths of the stream. By the time the man in black reacted, he had already gone as far as a fish.

Only then did Xue Jinghong heave a sigh of relief.He held his attention and watched every move of these men in black.

The question just now was obviously just to make a fuss.Although the Prime Minister Yang Tingyun is headstrong and a complete anti-Yan faction, he is still loyal to the Beiyu court, and it is absolutely impossible for him to commit such an act of regicide.

But who is it if it's not Yang Tingyun?

The court's anti-Yan faction secretly dispatched pursuers behind their backs, relying on the fact that they were far away in the deep palace and could not understand the real situation outside. , Shouting and shouting, how could it be possible to pretend to be masked and black, and come here for yourself?

It must be that the news of his leaving the palace was revealed, which made some people with ulterior motives move to kill.

But there are two kinds of people who want to kill themselves.One was the people from Nanyan who held a grudge against him like Chongyu before him, and the other was that it might be some other force that killed him in order to seek the position of emperor of Beiyu.

The former is also unlikely.Except for Chongyu, his identity has not been disclosed to other Nanyan people. As for the second guess...

Thinking of this, Xue Jinghong's heart shuddered, and names flashed in his mind.

He never worried about a coup d'etat or power seizure in Beiyu before.Although he has many brothers and uncles, the successor to the throne has always been the able one.Whoever can unify the Saibei tribe by force will naturally be respected as the king.

This is how Xue Jinghong got his throne.In the last life, when he sent his troops to the south, defeated Nanyan, and unified the Central Plains, Xue Jinghong became emperor as a matter of course, and no one objected.

But things also became complicated here.Xue Jinghong advocated treating the captured subjects of Nanyan kindly, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the Northern Chongqing court. The Yan faction obeyed Xue Jinghong's decree on the surface, but abused the captives wantonly and harshly on the old people of Nanyan in private.

His power has been loosened from here.

Later, when Mu Chongyu fled, he was so angry that he lost all reason and promulgated many fatuous decrees, which not only failed to correct the behavior of the Yan faction, but also fueled their arrogance and disturbed the whole country.Others are also lost.

In the end, the Beiyu army was useless.The uprising army led by Mu Yuan easily broke into the gate of the imperial capital and took his life.

At that time, the military power in his hands had actually been quietly deprived of him, so he allowed the uprising army to break through the city gate without resisting.Otherwise, Beiyu will never collapse here.

It's a pity that in his last life, he was slow to realize, or in other words, he was completely ignorant.After Mu Chongyu died, he seemed to have become a living dead.Only after being reborn in the first life can I see through the key points.

It's just that he didn't expect that in this life, he missed Chongyu so much, and ran out of the palace to follow him, giving this person a chance to do something secretly.

The expression on Xue Jinghong's face became even colder, and the sharp knife in his hand fell quickly.Then, looking at the right moment, he swung it at one person's face.

The sword light flashed, and the man's mask fell off, revealing his true face.

It was indeed the face of a Beiyu native, with a high nose and deep eyes, completely different from that of a Nanyan native.

Although Xue Jinghong had some guesses in his heart, seeing it with his own eyes at this moment would inevitably be emotional.He never thought that the person who wanted to take his life would be the same as him from Beiyu.

At this moment of emotional astonishment, the man in black with his veil lifted suddenly rushed over, raised his sword and slashed down, almost stabbing Xue Jinghong's chest.

Xue Jinghong was furious, he shouted loudly, dodged the sword, then rolled over and jumped to the side.

But if you can dodge this sword, you can't dodge the next sword.He didn't pay attention, and his arm was chopped off by someone who rushed out from behind.

Xue Jinghong's breathing was stagnant, and he was about to fall to his knees, but at this moment, he suddenly heard a cry.

It was Mu Chongyu who led Shen Qing and the others to the rescue!

It turned out that this was Xue Jinghong's intention to let Mu Chongyu escape first.He expected that these men in black were only coming towards his head, and they would not send too many people to scare the snake away.All they asked for was the word "fast".Only by completing the assassination quickly can their identities not be revealed.

These people only picked Xue Jinghong to attack when he left the team alone, which showed their intention.

There are no loopholes in this plan, but it is a pity that these assassins from Beiyu would not have imagined that Nanyan, who was at odds with Xue Jinghong at the beginning, would meddle in their own business and turn back to rescue Xue Jinghong.

When the men in black saw that there were rescuers coming, they didn't say well, and they didn't want to fight, so they pulled away and wanted to retreat.Seeing Xue Jinghong being stabbed by a knife, Mu Chongyu suddenly became angry. He drew his sword and swung it, and the sword flew straight out, forcibly piercing the last man in black. on the shoulders.

The author has something to say: focus: Mu Chongyu's anger comes from the heart.
