Wu Yu

Many days later.

In the palace garden.

A man dressed in a monk's robe, with peaceful eyebrows and neither sorrow nor joy, is meditating on a soft cushion in the pavilion with his eyes slightly closed.

Suddenly, steady and powerful footsteps sounded, approaching step by step, and finally stopped in front of him.

Only then did the monk open his eyes unhurriedly, stood up and clasped his hands together, saying neither humble nor overbearing: "Your Majesty."

Chong Lu's face was a bit haggard, his eyes were black and blue, and he waved his hand to signal him to sit down, "There is no need for the national teacher to be polite."

The two sat opposite each other, with a game of chess in front of them. At first glance, it looked like a dead game. Zhong Zun's face suddenly changed. He frowned and raised his eyes to look at the national teacher. Before he could ask a question, Master Dengji shook his head, "Your Majesty Take it easy."

While speaking, he dropped another piece. The piece flickered under the light for a moment.

Chong Lu's frown was loosened, and he breathed a sigh of relief. His tone was imperceptible and probing, "Master chess is superb...but I don't know this thread of life, where can I find it?"

"Those who have moles between their eyebrows at Moxu Mountain under Tunyun Ridge." Master Deng Ji closed his eyes after saying this, and did not speak again.

He was very knowledgeable and didn't ask any more questions. It was a great surprise for him to get this news, "Thank you for your guidance."

Master Deng Ji just nodded, he was used to heavy killings, and he still had to rely on this national teacher for many matters, even if he was a little neglected, it could be tolerated.

After the sound of footsteps left, Deng Ji opened his eyes, showing a smile that was very different from his usual one, it was indescribably weird, he fiddled with the chess pieces with his fingers, and sneered.

"It's just that your Majesty is not the one who broke the situation. I'm afraid this time-"

"You're looking for your own death."

------

Back to the main hall.

Chong Kill immediately gave the order to go to Moxu Mountain to find a person with a mole between his eyebrows. Now that the treasury is empty and foreign enemies are at hand, he has to believe the words of the national teacher. This chance is very important.

He hesitated for a moment, and then secretly ordered someone to invite Liu and Bai's family. Although the national teacher is a trustworthy person and has helped him a lot these years, he still has to guard against it.

How can he be willing to be taken away by others for the country he has worked so hard to obtain?

The imperial army rushed to Moxu Mountain quickly. In order not to attract attention, not many people went there. As dusk approached, a group of people rode away on horseback, but they didn't know that there was no return.

The mountain road of Moxu Mountain is winding and winding.

A group of people looked around vigilantly. The place was quiet and desolate, and there was no trace of people. One of the forbidden soldiers asked in a low voice: "I heard that Moxu Mountain is a barren mountain. Where can there be people?"

"Isn't it? The foot of Tunyun Ridge is eerie."

"Could it be His Majesty..."

Several people whispered, the leader frowned, turned his head and scolded: "What are you muttering about, be careful in your words and deeds!"

All the imperial guards shrank their necks, not daring to say any more.

The deeper Mo Xushan went, the quieter it became. There were not many people making jokes, and the gloomy atmosphere became heavier. The sky became gloomy, not to mention looking for the person with the mole between the eyebrows, even if there were no people.

The leader couldn't help being suspicious, hesitatingly said: "Do you feel that it's a bit cold here?"

Others echoed one after another, they stopped unconsciously, a feeling of coolness welled up in their hearts, and some retreated.

But at this moment, a forbidden soldier pointed to a gleam of fire in front of him and said happily: "Look! Is there a village there?"

The leader of the forbidden army quickly looked around, rode their horses forward a few steps, and saw the whole picture in the distance. There were not only villages, but also people walking around.

Their appearance immediately relieved the strange feeling of coldness, the leader of the forbidden army suppressed the strangeness in his heart, and went there.

in the village.

The window of the wooden house was opened, and a young man stood in front of the window. His phoenix eyes were long and narrow, showing a familiar look. There was a red mole between his eyebrows, but it was an unfamiliar face.

"Here we come." He chuckled.

Tapping the window twice, the busy "villagers" looked into the distance one after another, and a group of people came on horseback.

The leader of the forbidden army raised his voice, "Is there anyone here with a mole between their eyebrows, bring them here and have a look!"

The "villagers" looked at each other, the leader raised his eyes to look at the sky, a little impatient, he led his subordinates a few steps forward, and entered the village completely, with a rather menacing look, "You——"

His pupils shrank suddenly, a sword light reflected in his eyes, and all the words were blocked in his throat.

At the moment he spoke, the seemingly dull and honest "villagers" suddenly moved, and rushed towards them one after another. The horse trampled on it, spitting out a mouthful of blood in pain, screams and roars mixed together.

The frightened and distorted faces of the people were reflected under the shadow of swords, lights and swords, and everything soon returned to calm. The gloomy and cool wind passed by the window, carrying a strong smell of blood. The young man in front of the window waved his hand in disgust to disperse the smell.

"My lord, I'm ready." Yan Hui said softly.

Long Duo's carefree voice came from outside, "Boss, it's over!"

The human skin mask had already been made according to the information received, Long Duo and his subordinates had already put it on, Qingqiu Jue turned his head, strode out the door, his white clothes fluttering, "Let's go."

------

Inside the palace.

When the Bai family and the Liu family received the news, they immediately mobilized people to escort them. They didn't know whether the coming was an enemy or a friend, so they asked them to lie in wait in the dark, so as not to startle the enemy.

Not long after, the forbidden army came back with people.

At this moment, the night had fallen, and Chong Slaughter was inexplicably uneasy. He suppressed the strangeness in his heart, cleared up his somewhat busy and drowsy mind, and carefully reviewed the recent events.

He always felt that something was wrong. The most obvious point was the attitude of the people. Last year, the people absolutely did not dare to be so presumptuous, but now it is getting worse and rumors are everywhere.

Even children who are a few years old are humming rebellious nursery rhymes. Is this because of disasters and resentment among the people, or...someone is manipulating all this behind the scenes?

Chong Lu's back suddenly felt chilly, if it was man-made, then who would this person be...

"Your Majesty, they're here." Zhou Xi reminded in a low voice.

Zhong Lu came back to his senses fiercely, and found that his back was a little wet. He settled down and looked around, only to find that the leader of the forbidden army had led someone here, and he was a young man in white.

Chong Lu looked him up and down, although he was plain in appearance, but there was an inexplicable aura around him, he didn't look like a villager in the mountains, he looked like someone who was an outsider, and there was indeed a mole between his eyebrows.

There were only four people in the main hall, and the rest of the idlers were retreated by heavy killing, while the Bai and Liu families were ambushing outside.

This person is quite courageous, standing there neither humble nor overbearing, he didn't even have the slightest intention to kneel down, although Zhong Lu felt displeased, he still asked, "I don't know what your name is, young master?"

The young man in white shook his head with a smile on his lips.

Zhong Lu stared at him, feeling a bad premonition in his heart, but he was slightly relieved when he thought that he was escorted by his own people outside.

"Your Majesty is really a nobleman who forgets things." Qingqiu Jue shook his head, looking fearless, "Really... don't you remember?"

Zhong Lu frowned and sized him up, his eyes were unfamiliar, he had never seen this person before, but this person's tone always gave him a very familiar feeling.

This time Qingqiu Jue didn't deliberately hide his posture, his back was straight, his phoenix eyes were smiling, staring straight at the person sitting above him, like a goblin who eats people but doesn't spit out bones.

"Then... how about this?" Qingqiu Jue chuckled lightly, the smile in his eyes didn't reach his eyes, he gently took off the human skin mask, revealing that face that everyone will never forget.

The owner of this face should have been executed on the street three years ago, so it is absolutely impossible to appear here.

Chong Lu's pupils shrank suddenly, and he stood up from the dragon chair in shock, gritted his teeth in shock.

"It's you!"
