Fly the wrong branch and become a phoenix

As a local, Deyuan is very familiar with the surrounding terrain. Relying on this familiarity, the two approached the border of Chu Ming Kingdom without any danger.

The Chuming Fortress was heavily guarded, and the interrogation was much more detailed than before. Gu Mengyu and the others dared not go in at all.

"Master, the main road is impassable, and we have to go over the mountain." Deyuan swallowed the cold steamed buns, looked at the thousand-ren high mountain in the distance, and said with a frown, "However, there are so many officers and soldiers at the foot of the mountain, and each patrol team is far away. It's not very far, and it's a bit difficult to go up the mountain without being discovered."

"Difficulties are for overcoming." Passing the water bag to Deyuan, Gu Mengyu stood up and looked at the city wall with banners in the distance.

Sometimes he also feels confused, Qin Musen is looking for him in such a big way, don't these officers and soldiers have any doubts?Surely not all officers and soldiers participated in this rebellion?Or is it now that the deal is done, and these officers and soldiers are also in desperation to do so?

"Even if there are generals who sympathize with His Majesty, and even are angry with Qin Musen's actions, they will not be able to raise troops to help you. Because Your Majesty and the crown prince have passed away, Qin Musen is the only son of His Majesty, and the throne is not his now. None other than. For the generals and officials, all they need is a wise emperor, as long as he is a member of the royal family, as long as he is the heir in line, they don't care who the emperor will be."

Bokang's words are very cruel, but they are true.Gu Mengyu also understood a more cruel thing, that is, the road to revenge may encounter obstacles from the old emperor and the empress dowager!Because they will no longer tolerate any mistakes in this only bloodline.

The cruel reality...

Standing silently, Gu Mengyu's state of mind can be described as desolate. If it wasn't for Kong Lingqun's faint hope, he didn't know if he could still hold on.As for what he should do if this hope is shattered, Gu Mengyu has not thought so far at this time.

"Master, let's go." Deyuan had packed up and stood behind Gu Mengyu.

Nodding silently, Gu Mengyu walked down the mountain. They had to arrive at the foot of the opposite mountain before sunset, and take the opportunity to sneak up the mountain when the patrol team was changing.

It seems that the cruel God also has a rest, but Gu Mengyu and Deyuan escaped the patrols smoothly and went to Jieyun Mountain at the border between Chuming Kingdom and Wanwei Kingdom.

Jieyun Mountain, with high mountains and dense forests, vast forests, monkeys singing and tigers roaring, has a primitive style.

In order to stay away from the officers and soldiers patrolling the mountain, the two went straight to the deep mountain without stopping.The towering ancient trees are getting denser and denser, the evergreen giant trees cover the sky and the sun, in the endless primeval forest, the ancient trees that are thousands of years old cannot be surrounded by more than a dozen people, the thick old vines can stretch for hundreds of meters, and the ferocious birds are fierce Beasts come and go from time to time, with constant roars.The two even saw two very rare exotic birds and beasts.In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, they all tried their best to avoid encountering him.

In such a dangerous place full of poisonous insects and beasts everywhere, the two of them struggled to move forward, rushing at sunrise and resting at sunset. It was such a hard work, but they couldn't go far in a day.On the fifth day after they left, when they were struggling to move forward in Manglin, the distant town of Quanshan fell into panic.

Officers and soldiers like wolves and tigers surrounded Quanshan Town, and all the villagers were driven to the sun-drying field, looking terrified.Teams of soldiers went from house to house searching for something with shining big knives.

And the only big tile-roofed house in Quanshan Town was surrounded by soldiers holding swords, even a fly could hardly fly out.

In the yard, Minglu with a big belly was pushed to kneel on the ground by two strong soldiers, her cheeks were red and swollen, and her big eyes were stretched into two slits.From the corner of the lips, blood was flowing, dripping on the raised stomach.

The clothes on her body were fairly neat, and there were no injuries, so it could be seen that she was only framed by palms, but the person who did it was too ruthless, and her entire cheek was swollen like a bun.

Zhong Xun leaned on the wooden chair, looking coldly at the woman in front of him, she was just a little village woman, her mouth was harder than iron, as stubborn as a cow.The more he thought about it, the more irritable he became, and he repeated viciously: "Who was injured? Where is it now? Where did Deyuan go?"

It is undeniable that Minglu was very scared, trembling all over with fear, her stomach began to ache, but she still shook her head, her messy hair was wet with sweat and tears, sticking to her cheeks messily.

Feng Yuan's body had been found, and he was ordered to bring the queen back to the palace, so in this remote area, the only one who could take his life was Bai Kang.Zhong Xun has no sympathy for Fengyuan, he already looks down on people from the Jianghu.Looking at the trembling woman coldly, what he never expected was that this woman was actually the personal maid of the Crown Princess seven years ago.

Who is she grabbing medicine for?This question seems to have an obvious answer!But what made Zhong Xun feel bad was that he was afraid that it was Gu Mengyu who was injured, and if the queen was injured, the prince was afraid that a thunderous rage would erupt.

Although the prince ordered not to hurt the queen, but Fengyuan and the others' lives were threatened, and it was hard to guarantee that they would disobey the order. With the queen's skill, it would be very difficult to get out...

Thinking of the prince who lived in pain and longing all day long, the temperature in Zhong Xun's eyes became even colder: "This is the last chance, I've said it, let you go. If you don't say it, I'm going to kill two people."

There was a sarcasm on the blood-stained lips, because the injury made Minglu's words a bit vague: "You guys won't end well..."

Standing beside Zhong Xun was a middle-aged man in white clothes. He looked like a scholar, and he looked very refined. With a kind smile on his face, he said softly, "Ma'am, why are you doing this? You were killed when you were expelled from the palace." She is no longer the queen's maid, and the relationship between the two of them has been exhausted, and you have done what you can to do this for him, and there is no need to put your own life on the line with the life of the child."

The scholar smiled lightly, and continued to persuade softly: "Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about the child in your belly. Are you willing to reincarnate before he has seen this flowery world?"

The soft-spoken persuasion contained a chilling threat, and every word was like a needle, piercing Ming Lu's heart.She said sadly: "I don't want to part with it, but I don't want to part with your son's suffering even more. This life was originally given by your son, and now I'll give it back to him."

The scholar pressed Zhong Xun's shoulders, reminding him to stay calm, smiled gently, and said, "Ma'am, you may have misunderstood something. How could my master be willing to let the queen suffer? It's too late to hurt him."

Ming Lu was startled, she didn't expect Qin Musen to have such a dirty purpose, and said angrily: "The laws of heaven, how can we go against it! Isn't Qin Musen afraid of thunder and thunder?"

"Love someone, what's the crime?" The scholar frowned slightly, obviously a little impatient, or maybe Ming Lu's words were too heavy, which made him unhappy, and his tone became cold, "In order to avoid suffering, you still say Tell me who caught the medicine and the whereabouts of the queen."

"I don't know!" Ming Lu refused to tell where Gu Mengyu went, let alone the whereabouts of Bokang, even though her legs were trembling with fear.

Zhong Xun's eyes turned cold, and he said cruelly: "Open her stomach, and let me see if it's the child or her mouth!"

Desperate tears flowed from the swollen eyes with only one slit, and dripped down the cheeks, mixing with the blood from the lips, and the blood and tears dripped all over the chest.

The soldier's knife reflected the cold light in the sun, and just when it was about to touch his bulging stomach, the scholar stopped him: "Slow down!"

Zhong Xun looked over coldly, and the scholar clung to his ear and whispered: "If you find the queen, the master will definitely spoil you very much. If you kill the people around him now, and the queen will investigate in the future, I am afraid that the prince will find it difficult." Step down."

As the general of Qin Musen's personal guard, Zhong Xunneng is naturally not stupid. He was only confused by Ming Lu just now, so he wanted to do something cruel. Now that the scholar reminded him, he came back to his senses, waved his hand, and ordered Said: "Take it away!"

The soldiers retreated, leaving only a mess in the house. The soldiers searched very carefully. They carefully searched every corner of the house, in front of the house, in and out of the house, but they found nothing suspicious. .

The villagers looked in at the door, but no one dared to come in because they were afraid of being implicated.

In the narrow space, it is two meters long and less than one meter wide, which can barely accommodate two adults.Bo Kang hugged Nian En and bent his legs and bowed his head, so that he could completely accommodate himself in this small hole in the earth.

The entrance of the cave is covered by a big lump of soil, and a large part of the narrow and long entrance is stuffed.Therefore, knocking outside does not make out the hollow sound.

Bokang stayed there for a long time, so long that the well-behaved Nianen woke up after a nap, and couldn't help nagging his mother for forgetting them, Bokang decided not to wait for Minglu to call, because he felt Things seem to be going in a bad direction.

Climbing up the sloping passage and pushing away the lumps of soil, Bo Kang appeared in the cave with Nian En in his arms.The sweet potatoes stored in the cave have been trampled to pieces, forming sweet potato mash on the ground. Obviously, it has been turned over countless times.

Seeing the mess everywhere, Bokang's heart sank.
