After the stone path, there is another long earth path, but the surroundings are reinforced with stone slabs to prevent the whole from collapse.
After using a mechanism to open the stone wall at the end, he saw sparse light spots shining in. Mu Cunyi could vaguely see that there were layers of large branches outside. The smallest ones were as thin as an adult's arm, and the thickest ones were even comparable to buckets.
Looking back, Mu Cunyi smiled cruelly and unscrewed a mechanism outside the passage. Amidst the roar, the entire mountain road shook, and traces of smoke and dust came out from the gaps in the closed stone wall.
This is a self-destruct device. Once activated, the entire passage will be destroyed. It is the last trump card left for the escapees.
Even a great expert would find it difficult to save his life in this situation. However, Mu Cunyi did not dare to be careless. After adjusting a little and regaining some strength, he staggered up the branches and finally escaped and jumped in.
A dense forest.
At this time, his hair was disheveled, and his luxurious python robe was stained with mud and stone debris. Some places were torn by branches, exposing his underwear. How could he look like a prince?
Mu Cunyi didn't think it was enough. As he ran, he tore off the pieces of the python robe and threw them in the middle of the road. Then he turned around and wiped his face with mud. At this time, no one could recognize him except the white hair on his head.
He is the eighth prince who holds all the power.
"puff!"
A mouthful of blood gushed out, staining Mu Cunyi's chest and collar red.
After years of hard work and hard work day and night, Mu Cunyi's physical exertion was beyond his imagination. He had experienced some psychological twists and turns, and desperately fled, which finally caused internal troubles and worsened his illness.
He only felt dizzy and had severe pain in his chest and abdomen. There happened to be a downhill slope in front of him. He rolled down uncontrollably, hitting many sharp stones along the way. When he lay on his back on the flat soil, his face was already covered in blood and he was dying.
I wanted to get up, but I couldn't muster any more strength. I could only half-open my eyes and look at the scorching sun gradually rising above my head.
Mu Cunyi suddenly felt an indescribable sense of relaxation.
After he tried his best and risked everything to regain the Mu family, after racking his brains but still missing a move, and finally being chased to the point of exhaustion, he could no longer run, but he also let go of everything.
pressure.
It turns out that lying quietly on the ground, bathing in the bright sunshine and admiring the beautiful scenery of the mountains and rivers, is such a beautiful and comfortable thing.
The past rights and wrongs, merits and demerits, honors and disgrace, passed before his eyes like a movie at this moment, some memories were profound, and some were blurred. In a short period of time, he seemed to look back on his life, half of his life was rich and proud, and half of his life was full of wealth and glory.
Loneliness is hard to bear, and it will eventually fade away.
There was a sound of breaking through the air in the distance, and two figures landed on tree trunks in different directions. Looking up, they were covered in dust, like beggars on the roadside.
One of the men's eyes suddenly lit up and he spotted a figure lying on the ground a hundred meters away. The white-haired figure was very obvious. In addition, the place was deserted and deserted. Who else could be there besides Mu Cunyi?
"Damn thing, let's see where you can run!" The man laughed wildly, with a look of violence in his eyes.
The passage suddenly collapsed, and four of the six people who rushed in died, leaving only him and Elder Yun. But as long as Mu Cunyi could be captured, this trip would not have been in vain.
Dongfang Yun, who was looking for someone not far away, turned her head and her eyes lit up, but before she could take action, her expression suddenly changed drastically.
But it was a figure a hundred meters away. When the two found him, Xu regained some strength, grabbed a stone in his hand, and hit his head hard.
The reactions of Dongfang Yun and the two were not unpleasant. They fired up their energy almost instantly, trying to stop them. However, the two of them had consumed too much internal energy, which caused the speed of their energy to slow down greatly. By the time it hit the figure's arm, the stone had already hit it.
A piece of blood and white brain matter came out.
Swish.
The two jumped several times and landed in front of the figure. The man kicked away the stone and saw that the other person's head was sunken, but the outline of his face could still be clearly distinguished. Who was it if it wasn't Mu Cunyi?
The man was shaking with anger and yelled: "Asshole!"
Thinking that the great elder's plan had gone to waste and that he had lost the opportunity to honor his family, he was filled with anger and had no way to vent, so he pulled out the sword from his waist and slashed at Mu Cunyi's body with all his strength.
clang!
The long sword deflected, bounced off a tree trunk not far away, and penetrated three feet straight.
The man looked at Dongfang Yun who had taken action. Dongfang Yun looked at the corpse and sighed: "Although this prince acted with vicious methods and no bottom line, he should not be humiliated again after his death because of his bloody behavior in killing himself.
"
The man remained silent. Dongfang Yun's status in the family was much higher than his, and her martial arts skills were superior to his. He did not dare to disobey him face to face, so he had to move quietly and pull out the sword that was knocked away.
Dongfang Yun looked at the corpse: "Mu Cunyi, if you don't die, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty will fall into the hands of my Dongfang family, but at least no lives will be lost. Once you die, the imperial court will be torn apart, and all parties will fight, and there will inevitably be another round of heads."
In fact, she knows that there is no right or wrong in some things, only opinions. If he, Mu Cunyi, harmed the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, how could it be so if the family did not have a grand plan and conspired to usurp it? On the other hand, if the world
The situation is peaceful and stable, and even if the family wants to become powerful, it is unable to do anything.
So, whose fault is this?
Ordering the man to carry Mu Cunyi's body on his back, Dongfang Yun rushed into the city in a low mood. Little did she know that at this time, the Imperial City of Eastern Zhou Dynasty was already in turmoil.
Because she missed a good opportunity, Dongfang Changsheng was unable to sneak into the palace. After a long time, Bian Huiqing was unwilling to die and used the self-destruction method. While destroying the formation, it also severely injured Mu Zichen and Le
Modesty.
When the two arrived at the side hall, they found corpses on the ground and collapsed passages. They didn't know that something had happened to Mu Cunyi. Mu Zichen yelled like crazy, and the news spread to every corner of the palace.
For a time, all the palace guards were on the move, searching everywhere in the palace. Groups of imperial guardsmen quickly left the palace and began to control the streets and alleys in the imperial city.
At the same time, the Golden Feather Guards and the Imperial City garrison also received orders to immediately seal off the city and not allow anyone to enter or exit. From the six gates, ranging from elites to ordinary policemen, all rushed into the city. The Sky Claw masters collectively issued a
He was walking around the market with his strength. The guards of the Eighth Prince's Palace lined up out of the house with murderous intent...
The entire imperial city was rioting because of Mu Cunyi's disappearance.
The common people didn't know what was going on at first, but everyone was in danger. When they heard what happened, everyone was even more trembling. A thought came to countless people's minds: things were going to change in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty!
Traffickers and lackeys, martial arts warriors, court officials, women and prostitutes were all greatly shaken on this day. Even restaurants, teahouses, brothels, etc. closed their doors for fear of being implicated.
The eighth prince has been in charge of the government for many years and has a lot of followers. At this sensitive moment, no one dares to face the bloodthirsty blade with a human head...
In an underground secret room, Dongfang Changsheng looked at the corpse on the ground expressionlessly. He stood silently for a long time. His hands behind him clenched and unclenched, and veins popped out on his palms.
Dongfang Changkong stood beside him, his face as dark as the bottom of a pot, staring coldly at Dongfang Yun, making the entire stone room filled with an unspeakable murderous aura.
Dongfang Yun was doing better. The man carrying the body was already trembling with fear, his head was covered with sweat, and he almost fell to his knees.
"You still have the nerve to come back? You have planned everything, even sacrificed your negative feelings, and created such a good opportunity, but you can still miss it? What are you doing for food?"
Dongfang Changkong had a strong temper, and finally couldn't help but curse. He cursed to the extreme, slapped the man hard and sent him spinning several times. He fell to the ground and vomited blood.
She looked at Dongfang Yun again, this time she had some sense. After all, Dongfang Yun was the biological daughter of the second brother Dongfang Changwei, and his biological niece, so she couldn't let her vent freely.
Dongfang Yun said in a low voice: "It's my fault for not doing things well, please ask my third uncle to punish me."
Dongfang Changkong gritted his teeth and said: "Is it useful to punish you? The family plan, which could have soared into the sky, has been wasted by you, and it will never happen again! Not to mention punishing you, even if you die a hundred times, it will not be enough!"
Still feeling uneasy, he paced back and forth in the stone room and punched the stone wall until it cracked, sending gravel flying everywhere.
"That's enough, third brother, anger can't solve any problems." Dongfang Changsheng, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke, slightly lowering his eyes and said: "The first problem now is to erase the traces. We must not allow anyone to find out about this matter and the family.
Otherwise, there will be trouble. Yun'er, have you ever left any loopholes?"
Dongfang Yun said in a low voice: "Everyone else died in the passage. Outsiders will never be able to dig up the bodies, and they should not be able to find out who the family is." When he said this, he suddenly paused and his eyes widened slightly.
Dongfang Changsheng observed his words and asked quietly: "What, is there a problem?"
Dongfang Yun did not dare to look into the eyes of the two elders, and said in a slightly trembling voice: "Dongfang Xuan, he was hit by the formation in the side hall at the beginning and was mentally depressed, so he did not follow us out..."
"You idiot!" Upon hearing this, Dongfang Changkong suddenly became furious and almost couldn't help but take action.
But this appearance was not scary, but rather the Great Elder had a calm face and could not express his emotions or anger, which really made Dongfang Yun frightened and awed from the bottom of her heart, and she did not even dare to take a breath.
The man who was knocked to the ground was so horrified that he knelt on the ground and kept confessing his guilt and begging for mercy.
Dongfang Changsheng said: "Yun'er, tell me everything." Dongfang Yun did not hesitate and immediately explained what happened before in detail.
After listening, Dongfang Changsheng nodded and said: "Dongfang Xuan has been practicing in seclusion in his family all year round. Very few people know him. Moreover, he has been affected by Yun'er's illusion and is unconscious. It will be difficult for the court to find us. But still
We can't do nothing. Third brother, immediately gather all the people who have received Dongfang Xuan during this period and silence them all."
Hearing this, Dongfang Yun and the man trembled.
Dongfang Changsheng also looked at the two of them at this time: "Before the imperial city is unsealed, you will stay here to practice. When you return to the family, there is no need to go out if there is nothing important in the future."
A single word decided the future fate of the two of them.
Dongfang Yun and the other two felt weak and knew that because of their ineffective handling of the matter this time, they had seriously angered the great elder. The reason why they did not kill him was probably because of their extraordinary martial arts skills and their ability to continue serving the family.
