Charming beauty

Chapter 31

This is a cell, with a few candles flickering weakly. The cell is surrounded by walls on three sides. To torture prisoners to extract testimony, the central gray-white wall is inlaid with strong locks, the locks are connected to a hard and heavy iron chain, and the other end of the chain is tied to the prisoner's hand, which is to prevent severe prisoners from escaping. A specially prepared cell.

The damp straw in winter is spread randomly on the uneven ground, but there is a faint scent of grass and trees coming out from nowhere, the white shadow in the dark corner moves, Nalan Mei shakes the iron chain on her wrist, and the chain emits a crisp sound. The crashing sound.In fact, he didn't have any way to get the best of both worlds, he just let Murong You and him surrender voluntarily, but he really didn't expect that he would become a serious prisoner and be imprisoned.

He looked around, he was locked in such a cell, it is estimated that Murong You's situation is not much better, he must be very angry, but fortunately he is secretly in a different cell, when he said this method, Murong You's face was black , but as for why he agreed later, he didn't know, maybe Murongyou also had his own ideas.

In the quiet and fragrant darkness, he gently raised his hand, the white skin on his wrist turned red due to the friction of the iron chain, Nalan Mei smiled softly to himself, the young master this week has harmed the people so much, no wonder the people are suffering Not to mention being silent, it turns out that this backing is higher than a mountain.Behind this young master Zhou is Zhou Taishou, behind this prefect is the state inspector, and behind the state inspector is the right minister Ning, and behind this right minister Ning is the most favored concubine Ning, and behind this concubine Ning can be Said to be the current emperor.

The emperor is actually involved behind this little prefect. Children know the truth that anyone in the world can offend, but the emperor cannot be offended. The Nine Clans, the prefect of Zhou's backing is really so-called unreliable.

Judging from this situation, His Majesty should know. Nalan Mei thought about it, but his thoughts froze for a moment. He shook his head and closed his eyes. Prime Minister Ning You loves his nephew so much. It should be that His Majesty deliberately suppressed him, but he didn't want to startle the enemy, so he only gave such a modest official position.

Nalan Mei sighed softly. At this moment, the court should be in chaos as in his plan, and those who endangered the position of the crown prince should have surfaced. His Majesty did this because he didn't want to make excuses for the internal conflict. A breakthrough point, on the other hand, should also be to let Yue Dutou take this opportunity to win people's hearts, so as to stabilize his position as the crown prince.

So, Yue Du Tou, what will you do?Prime Minister Ning, are you going to kill him or keep him as a wooing target?However, according to the situation, neither seems to be easy. Killing will cause civil strife in the court, and Concubine Ning will not let you go easily. If you want to win you over, the state inspector Ning Zhong, who has harmed the people, will get rid of you no matter what. , how do you win over Ning Youxiang and Concubine Ning, who protect their weaknesses?

There is also the ambitious Qiyan Kingdom, who dared to utter wild words at the state banquet, presumably it has been planned for a long time, just waiting to become an enemy of Yuedu Kingdom.

Yuedu Tou, how are you going to protect your crown prince and future people in this situation of foreign enemies and internal troubles?And... Nalan Mei's eyes darkened a little, she was faintly worried, Wu'er, what will you do now that you are the princess? …

The sound of chains interrupted Nalan Mei's thoughts. He looked up, but his eyes became vaguely blurred. He closed his eyes, but his head gradually became heavy. Master Zhou in uniform stood outside the wooden wall, behind him stood a few men dressed as thugs, and beside him a young man dressed as a servant was opening the lock.

Is it the scent... Nalan Mei slowly slid down the wall as the eyes darkened.

The lock was unlocked, and Young Master Zhou stepped closer, with a haughty look on his face, he walked up to Nalan Mei and squatted down, lowered his head to stare at Nalan Mei, with willow brows and cherry lips, skin as white as snow, and black hair scattered messily in the dust. On the dyed white clothes, the soft and beautiful face looked extraordinarily peaceful due to deep sleep. Such a beautiful person was standing in front of his eyes without any resistance. Young Master Zhou's originally fascinated eyes were gradually stained with lust.

"Come here, unlock it, be gentle with your hands and feet, don't get hurt..."

In the same dark cell, the floor was covered with wet straw in a disorderly manner. Murong You was sullen, staring coldly at the chains on his wrists. The two of them voluntarily surrendered and let the others go first, and did not allow others to come to the rescue , this is the so-called method?

Murongyou snorted softly, moved his hands, a sound came from his wrist, brows drooped, his fair hand grasped the chain on the buckle and pulled, the chain snapped with two bang bangs, the buckle fell to the ground and splashed dust, he Rubbing his reddish wrist, with a stormy rage in his eyes, he said coldly, "Do you want me to invite you out?!"

Shen Hei's shadow fell outside the fence, Mo Lian waved his hand, and the cold light of the long sword in his hand condensed towards the chain on the door. With a bang, the chain broke in two, and Mo Lian pushed the door open: "My lord."

Murong You cast a glance at him, walked out, Mo Lian followed behind, was silent for a moment, Murong You's voice sounded faintly, "Have you found anything?"

Mo Lian's gaze focused on his back, and she said in a deep voice, "Master Hui, there is not enough time, so we can only conclude that those people are not from the Yuedu Kingdom."

Murongyou frowned, if he wasn't from Yuedu country, it would be complicated, "Have you found out which country he is from?"

Mo Lian was silent, the daytime was very urgent, he couldn't find any other meaningful clues, these Murong You also understood, he didn't make things difficult for Mo Lian, just calmed down and thought deeply.

After a while, Murong You asked: "How is the current court situation?"

Mo Lian replied: "Master Hui, the people in the court are not stable at the moment, and the position of the crown prince is vacillating." When Murong You heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he remembered something, and said, "Go and investigate the Qiyan Kingdom."

Mo Lian was taken aback, "My lord means..."

Murongyou sneered, Yuedu Kingdom is vast and full of supplies, and it was already thought of by ambitious countries, but this prince also appointed a man as his concubine. With this excuse of a false way of survival, Yuedu Kingdom is like placing The fat on the chopping board can be eaten as long as one has enough strength.Presumably, Qiyan Kingdom should be one of them, otherwise, they would not wantonly provoke the guardian of the country, who is hailed as the symbol of a country by Yuedu Kingdom, at the New Year's Eve banquet. This is an act that violates the prestige of the country, and death is the lightest punishment.

However, executing the envoy is disrespecting the envoy's country. In this way, the two countries will not only create a gap, but even become an excuse for war.It seems that Qiyan Kingdom has really been thinking about the Yuedu Kingdom for a long time, otherwise it would not have revealed its purpose when the prince just got married. Although it is unwise, but considering the current situation where the court's hearts are scattered and the crown prince's position is not yet stable Come on, sending troops to invade and occupy at this time must be the best time.

To be honest, he really had to admire Yue Duxuan for being so bold as to use the chaos within the country to attract all the countries that coveted his own country. If he was not [-]% sure, no one would dare to do so.However, even if there is a real war, it is still unknown who will win and who will lose between the Yuedu Kingdom and the Qiyan Kingdom. However, no matter whether there is a war or not, as soon as the internal turmoil in the Yuedu Kingdom ends, all the hidden external and internal troubles will emerge. , the crown prince's position will become stable because of this, not only that, Yuedu Kingdom will also become more united than before due to the existence of external enemies.

The proper use of this multi-drilled strategy can really be said to be used to the fullest.Murong You stepped over the corpse lying on the ground, turned a corner and continued walking forward.All of this should be attributed to the guardian who is the symbol of the Yuedu Kingdom, right? !It is absurd for the crown prince to appoint a man as a concubine, but it is rumored that this crown princess is the younger brother of the protector of the country, and may be the next protector of the country.

So, the incident at the New Year's Eve banquet this time has nothing to do with the Crown Princess, does it mean that it also has something to do with the protector of the country?His curiosity was completely aroused. He suddenly wanted to know who such a scheming national defender was, if he could take it for his own use...

Mo Lian followed behind him, receiving the condensed aura emanating from him, and seemed to feel the seriousness of the matter. If those dead men were really sent by Qiyan Kingdom, then the purpose of killing Nalan Mei should be to disintegrate Nalan Mei. The Shenmiao Gate behind him, as long as the Shenmiao Gate is removed, the world will definitely be in chaos. At that time, taking advantage of the civil strife in the Yuedu Kingdom, the Qiyan Kingdom invaded...

Mo Lian's eyes darkened, and Mo Lian quietly stared at Murong You, just as he met Murong You's glance from the side, seeing the faint blue light flashing past in the dark eyes, his heart trembled, and he lowered his head, "My lord , then what should we do next?"

Murongyou gave Mo Lian a deep look, lowered his eyes, and continued to walk forward, with a faint thought lingering between his brows.Although the incident of chasing Yuezhuang was clearly pointed at him, anyone with a brain would guess another possibility.

Chasing Moon Village was originally the head of the four villages, with a wide popularity, if one really wanted to destroy the family overnight, apart from Murong You, who was rumored to be a peerless master, there would be a large number of people. , so all the spearheads are pointed at Murong You, but there are also a few people who will know, it's not that there is no one, but no one believes it, that is - the imperial court.

If the chasing Yuezhuang incident was really done by the imperial court, it could be for the purpose of eradicating the resistance forces, blaming the leader of the martial arts alliance, achieving the purpose of splitting the hearts of the people in the world, and arousing people in the world to fight for the leader's position and killing each other, and finally sat down. Its benefit.

But this method can only be used once. If the Shenmiao Gate, which has popularized the entire Yuedu Kingdom, is also destroyed this time, then the imperial court's ambitions to enter the Jianghu will be fully exposed. The relationship between the imperial court, the rivers and lakes, and the imperial court will also become precarious as a result, eventually leading to a split. As long as the Yuedu Kingdom is divided, other interested countries will take this opportunity to invade with troops, and then the Yuedu Kingdom will have no chance of winning at this time.

Shenmiao Sect... The next goal of Qiyan Kingdom must be Shenmiao Sect. As long as Shenmiao Sect is destroyed, the goal of splitting Yuedu Kingdom will be achieved. Will this always mysterious sect disappear because of this? ?besides…

A strange smile appeared in Murongyou's eyes, and that graceful figure appeared in his mind. Will the innate calmness and composure be broken? …

Murongyou's figure appeared at the entrance of the dungeon, he looked up, the black lacquer sky was dotted with a few starbursts, the wind blew coldly, messing up his hair, the bright red robe turned dark in the night, in the darkness, His eyes were bright, as if they were shining with a faint blue light.

"Pay close attention to the movements of Shenmiao Gate and the imperial court." Curiosity is nothing but curiosity, he has no intention of interfering in the battle between countries, so he only needs to be a well-behaved bystander.

"Yes, sir." Mo Lian nodded slightly, and asked again, "Sir, shall we still go to Wuliang Mountain?" It must be dangerous to go to Wuliang Mountain this time. Mountains shouldn't matter, so why should they take risks?

The sky is still pitch black, only a few faint stars, the wind blowing on the face is bitingly cold, with a little bit of hazy emotion, Murongyou's dark eyes are surprisingly bright in the darkness, "Go, why not go? Don't forget , this deity is not only your master, but also the leader of the martial arts alliance..." If everything is as he expected, then the guardian of the country will definitely appear in Wuliang Mountain, "...Besides, going there may not be boring."

"Yes, my lord..." Mo Lian responded, thinking of something, and said, "My lord, Nalan Mei was taken away by Zhou Jin."

Murongyou was still thinking about the guardian of the country in his mind, but when Mo Lian reminded him, for some reason, the figure of the guardian of the country in his mind overlapped with that of Nalan Mei, both graceful and calm Being calm, let him have the idea that Nalan Mei is the guardian of the country, Murong You raised his eyebrows, how could he have such absurd idea?Are they the same person?

"Sir?"

"You go back first." Murong You waved his hand, "Other matters are up to me."

"Yes."

In the dark courtyard, Murongyou watched Mo Lian disappear. The cold wind blew past, blowing the dark clothes and flying behind him. He turned around thoughtfully and walked towards the door. In the silent courtyard, the sound of footsteps disappeared in the wind.
