After bidding farewell to Zhong Xihou, Kui Mulang sneaked into the Forbidden City past the various guards. Although it seemed to him that he was silent, his whereabouts had been reported to Zhu Jiannan early. Zhu Jiannan also knew this.
I didn’t ask much about the identity of the Taoist wearing the wolf-toothed mask. He just wanted to make people look at him. If the Taoist wearing the wolf-toothed mask had evil thoughts, he could just let the person in the dark kill him with a sword.
Although the Forbidden City is large, luxurious, and has countless treasures, Kui Mulang is not looking for those things. He came to the Forbidden City just to meet his disciple Zhu Yinuo, whom he had only met two or three times.
After wandering around half of the Forbidden City, he found Zhu Yinuo in the ward of the medical center. When Kui Mulang saw Zhu Yinuo lying on the bed, covered with bandages, and looking like he was dying, his heart ached instantly, and he was stunned.
He took a breath of cold air.
Zhu Yinuo was awakened by the slight movement and opened his eyes suddenly, revealing murderous intent. But when he saw the Taoist with a wolf-toothed mask next to the bed, his eyes changed instantly. His eyes were excited and happy, and he wanted to kill himself immediately.
He jumped up on the bed and went forward to hug his master.
But he couldn't do it. He could only lie like this and look at his master from this angle.
"Yinuo, who did this?"
Upon hearing the inquiry, Zhu Yinuo gritted his teeth and spit out the three words "Zhong Xihou"!
Hearing that it was Marquis Zhongxi who repaired Zhu Yinuo to look like this, Kuimulang couldn't help but be surprised, but then he felt happy. If it was Marquis Zhongxi who did it, he would owe the Lord of the West more, but
For him, it couldn't be better after all.
"Master, I'm fine. I'll be able to stand up in one or two days, and I can continue to practice swordsmanship. It's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years. I've been practicing swordsmanship for ten years, and I don't want to take him."
Life, but standing in front of him holding a sword, I believe I have the qualifications!"
Zhu Yinuo has changed. Has he grown up or become more worldly? Kui Mulang can't guess, and he doesn't want to guess. But Zhu Yinuo fully understands that hard work can make up for weakness, and he is no longer arrogant. He knows that there are people outside the mountains.
Mountains, there are people outside the world.
After practicing swordsmanship for ten years, I don’t want to be able to kill that unattainable person, I just want to be able to stand in front of the opponent with dignity and look at him levelly.
Kui Mulang reached out to touch Zhu Yinuo's face. His hand came closer, but he stopped again. He stretched out his hand, with a smile on his face, and then asked: "Yinuo, do you think a person without Qi Yuan can have any?"
A chance to kill a Hongmeng realm master?"
Zhu Yinuo wanted to answer yes, but at this moment, he had no confidence to say this, and his eyes once again showed resentment and unwillingness.
Kui Mulang was delighted. This little guy was really getting more and more angry with him. It was a pity that he didn't have the chance to teach him from scratch and watch him become famous little by little.
"My teacher tells you, yes, you can do it just by using the Nine Stars Flying and the Swift Sword."
Zhu Yinuo's emotions seemed to be influenced by Kuimulang's words. Every time Kuimulang said a word, his eyes would change. Just like now, his eyes once again emitted a bright light. He seemed to see
That day, he held his sword, used the nine stars to fly down, and stabbed Zhong Xihou to death in front of everyone in the world.
"After all, you are not a Jianghu person of this generation. Your fame in the world should be in the future. But Zhong Xihou, or the inner demon on your spiritual path, can't do much for you as a teacher, then this Zhong Xihou will be
How about I remove it for you as my master, and use nine stars to fly in front of you?"
Zhu Yinuo stared straight at his master with firm eyes, and slowly said "
The word "good".
At this time, there was a gentle knock on the door of the medical center. Kui Mulang was startled and was about to hide in the dark. The person who knocked on the door did speak. She was just an ordinary palace lady. She heard her say: "Sir,
When our Highness heard that he had come to the Forbidden City first, he asked his servant to come over and invite you to come to the Imperial Garden to meet with His Highness."
Kui Mulang was startled at first, and then laughed. Sure enough, this is the Forbidden City, not a mansion for cats and dogs. I think he has been noticed by others many times when he sneaked in.
He thought of another person, his comrade, Kang Jinlong, one of the Luanmen that day. Could it be that Kang Jinlong was also killed by people from the Jinling Palace? After all, this is the Forbidden City. How could they really not spy on them day and night?
Detected by experts in the house.
Kuimulang's response was simple. He didn't say anything. He just opened the door and smiled at Gong'e. Gong'e saw that the person His Highness was talking about was a Taoist priest first. Judging from his appearance and dress, he was still a poor, middle-aged Taoist priest. She didn't dare to look at her face.
He showed contempt, but he had already had some disdain for this man in his heart.
After Gong'e saluted, she asked Kui Mulang to follow her to the Imperial Garden. The Imperial Garden was not far from the medical center. Even if she followed Gong'e on foot, it only took half a moment to reach the Imperial Garden.
There are two wicker chairs, a coffee table, and two people on the gentle grass.
The tall, muscular man was bare-chested, with an iron chain as thick as his arm wrapped around his body. He was standing next to the wicker chair, motionless. There was a handsome man in a black python robe lying on the wicker chair.
On the table, he was holding a bottle of wine in his hand, and he was drinking wine while rocking the wicker chair in such a leisurely manner.
After hearing Gong E's report, the person on the wicker chair did not get up. He stretched out his other hand and waved it slightly, and Gong E said a blessing and retreated.
Kui Mulang naturally knew who these two people were. The tall and muscular man standing there was Lei Niu, and the handsome man lying on the wicker chair drinking wine was naturally His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Lincheng, Zhu Jiannan.
Without waiting for Zhu Jiannan to call, Kuimulang walked over to the empty wicker chair, then lay down on it.
Seeing Kuimu Lang acting like this, Zhu Jiannan couldn't help but laugh. This man is really funny, but he forgot that this is the Forbidden City, and he is the Crown Prince of Lincheng. If he can live forever, then he will be
The future King of Jinling. This small and rough world is really interesting.
Let Kuimulang come over, Zhu Jiannan has his own plan. There are many empty wine bottles scattered on the coffee table, and a few even fell to the ground. Zhu Jiannan used a still full wine bottle to
Pushing it to where Kuimulang's hands could touch it, he then said in a respectful voice: "First, I would like to try it. This wine is not bad. It is a strong wine brought from Han City. One sip will drive away the cold, and another sip will show the heroism of life."
.”
Faced with the good intentions, Kui Mulang refused. His nose twitched slightly, and then his brows covered by the mask couldn't help but frown. The smell of incense was strong, so many wine bottles had been drunk, and the smell of alcohol was already filling the air, but
He still vaguely smelled a scent that was somewhat familiar to him.
It was this smell that made him wary of His Royal Highness.
Kui Mulang went straight, not wanting to waste time with His Royal Highness, so he asked: "Your Highness came here to seek poverty. What's the matter?"
Hearing Kuimulang's straightforward question, Zhu Jiannan laughed, and then placed the jug in his hand heavily on the coffee table. The jug broke, and the wine spilled all over the coffee table. In an instant, the aroma of the wine was even worse, if
If you smell it for a long time, I'm afraid it will make people a little bit
Drunk.
"First of all, Mr. Xiao Wang, I just want to ask, would you like to stay in the Forbidden City?"
Kui Mulang was not surprised by this. He thought that His Highness knew about his relationship with Zhu Yinuo, so it was normal for him to ask such a question. It was a pity, a pity, not to mention that he was not going to die soon, even if he was fine,
He won't stay in the Forbidden City. It's not that he doesn't want to stay with Zhu Yinuo, it's because Ying Ruge needs him.
Kui Mulang asked directly, and his answer was naturally straightforward. He said: "I just saw that the young prince was determined, so he became interested in talents and wanted to teach the swordsmanship. But if it is like what His Highness said,
Yes, forgive me for being a poor Taoist. I have become accustomed to idle clouds and wild cranes, and it is difficult to obey my orders."
Zhu Jiannan was not surprised, but he spoke leisurely and asked: "Then why did you come here this time? I will never believe it. You just came to see Xiao Yinuo."
Kui Mulang suddenly stood up, picked up the full pot of strong wine on the coffee table, took a few sips of the wine into his mouth, and let out a long sigh, which seemed quite satisfying. Although the wine was strong, it was indeed refreshing. If
It would be nice to live forever and drink such wine every day.
It's also strange. I wasn't such a girl in the past. When I know the end is approaching, I always feel a little sad. It's very inexplicable.
"Your Highness, if Pindao says that Pindao came to Jinling City to kill someone, and after seeing Yinuo's appearance, it looks more like murder, will Your Highness believe it?"
After hearing this, Zhu Jiannan looked surprised and asked, "Sir, the one you want to kill is this king?"
Hearing Zhu Jiannan's joke, Kui Mulang was also happy. After laughing a few times, he replied: "If I say that I came to Jinling City to kill Zhong Xihou, the lord of the West, your Highness can
Would you be really surprised, or would you object?"
Zhu Jiannan was really puzzled this time. He would not believe that Kui Mulang had murderous intent after seeing Zhu Yinuo's miserable appearance and knowing what Zhong Xihou had done.
Zhu Jiannan naturally knew that Kui Mulang would not be Zhong Xihou's opponent, but then he thought of the information saying that Kui Mulang was the subordinate of the Ghost Controller Ying Ruge of Muhan Tower. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a
Evil smile.
"I can't interfere with the killings of you gangsters. If you want to do it, sir, just do it. Why should you tell me?"
"Oh, if the poor Taoist killed Zhong Xihou, wouldn't Jinling City and Lincheng, Your Highness, be implicated and bear the wrath of the West?"
Hearing this, Zhu Jiannan laughed loudly, stood up, looked at Kuimulang, and asked: "Sir, do you think that my Lincheng is just a romantic city? Lincheng is the Lincheng of the Zhu family.
.As long as the Zhu family is here, no one dares to take a step beyond Lincheng. This is what the king said!"
"This has nothing to do with Pindao."
Kui Mulang's answer always made Zhu Jiannan dumbfounded. He was also curious and asked directly: "Sir, why do you want to act like this?"
Kui Mulang didn't want to have any more verbal arguments with His Highness, the Crown Prince, so he went straight to the point and said: "I have nothing to ask for, but I would like to ask if Your Highness can help the poor Taoist general Zhong Xihou to go to the Forbidden City?"
"time?"
"Tomorrow night."
"It's a trivial matter, nothing more."
The two of them asked questions and answered them briefly. But at this moment, a guard walked quickly, knelt down on one knee behind Zhu Jiannan, and then presented a gold greeting card with both hands.
Then I heard the guard say in a high-pitched voice: "Your Highness, Lord Zhong Xihou of the Evernight City, please see me!"
