Chapter 372 Shameful, Exasperating, Hateful

Linfengdu in the north was where Emperor Mingxi's army was stationed.

At this moment, a dark crowd of soldiers gathered in front of Emperor Mingxi's dragon tent, and the roars and curses resounded high into the sky:

"Hand over Murong Xuan quickly!"

"That's right, if you don't hand over Murong Xuan, you will all die!"

"Hurry up and hand over this villain who is causing harm to the country and the people!"

"That's right, quickly, hand over Murong Xuan, hand over Murong Xuan."...

Many secret guards guarded the entrance of the camp. Listening to the overwhelming insults, their faces turned dark and they shouted angrily: "How dare you call the emperor by his name! What do you want to do? This is the emperor's dragon tent! You guys Are you going to rebel?"

Someone in the group of soldiers shouted: "Bah, rebel! Murong Xuan is no longer the emperor a long time ago."

"Yes, Murong Xuan has been the deposed emperor for a long time. You still dare to make noise here. If you don't hand him over, I will kill you too."

"Hand over Murong Xuan! Hand over Murong Xuan!"...

The secret guard's face turned darker and he shouted: "Vice General Li, Vice General Liu, how dare you encourage your soldiers to act lawlessly and insult the Holy Majesty!"

The angry shouts made the faces of Lieutenant General Li and Lieutenant Liu darker. They originally followed the emperor's imperial command to conquer the country. It was an opportunity to make achievements and become famous in the world, but now they have become an army that has been recruited. How shameful! exasperating! hateful!

At this moment, the two of them were even more furious, shouting angrily: "If you are wise, hand over Murong Xuan quickly! Otherwise, I will cut you into pieces!"

The angry shouting led to more angry curses from many soldiers:

"Shit, your Majesty, Murong Xuan has been deposed by the Empress Dowager Ren'an."

"That's right, for the sake of military power, Murong Xuan actually colluded with Prince Qi of Vietnam, provoked a war between the two countries, and killed Zhongliang. Such a heartless and crazy person is not worthy of being our emperor of Tianqi."

"Yes, he is not worthy to be our emperor of Tianqi. Queen Mother Ren'an has deposed him. Now our emperor of Tianqi is Emperor Qiyuan."

"Emperor Qi Yuan has issued an imperial edict. The army will return to the court from now on. Murong Xuan is no longer qualified to order us."

"That's right, Murong Xuan is no longer the emperor. Hand over Murong Xuan! The emperor has decreed that this man has committed a heinous crime. Anyone who is captured will be rewarded based on merit."

"Yes, once we capture Murong Xuan, we can return to the court safely."

"Don't talk nonsense to them, let's rush in and capture Murong Xuan directly!"

"Yes, yes, rush in, rush!"...

As soon as someone started to rush in front, the people behind him also rushed into the dragon tent!

When the secret guards saw that they could no longer stop him, they immediately stepped aside, and then, while everyone was in confusion and not paying attention, they quickly dodged away.

Soon, the roar of many soldiers came from the dragon tent:

"Murong Xuan is not inside!"

"Damn it, Murong Xuan actually ran away!"

"Where were those secret guards just now?"

"No, those secret guards also ran away."

"Damn it, those secret guards were chirping for a long time just now, they were delaying time so that Murong Xuan could have time to escape!"

"Vice-General Li, Deputy General Liu, and the secret guards' camp are all gone."

"What! They all ran away!"

"Damn it, these scoundrels have the guts to do things like collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, but now they don't have the guts to admit it!"

"Murong Xuan ran away! What should we do?"

"Vice General Li, Vice General Liu, what should we do?"...

Seeing the empty dragon tent, Lieutenant General Li and Lieutenant General Liu's faces were already darkened. They thought that the opportunity for the imperial commander to conquer and make achievements in person was gone. Capturing Murong Xuan would be considered a great achievement. Therefore, they received the imperial edict of recruiting him. After that, they immediately led their troops to the dragon tent and surrounded it from front to back. However, they didn't expect that Murong Xuan had already run away!

Vice General Wang was even more aggrieved. He went to the northern military camp with Murong Xuan's imperial edict and summoned Marquis Wu'an to come to Laifengdu to meet him. Now that Murong Xuan was deposed, Vice General Wang's situation in the northern military camp was even more embarrassing.

Vice General Li and Vice General Liu looked at each other helplessly. For a moment, they shouted angrily but helplessly: "Everyone, be quiet."

With a loud shout, the excited soldiers instantly fell silent.

Vice General Li and Vice General Liu just said:

"The Emperor has decreed that our army will return to the court from now on. Since we cannot capture Murong Xuan today, we have no choice but to give up!"

"That's right, don't worry, everyone, the emperor has issued an order for Marquis Wu'an to lead troops to capture Murong Xuan. As long as we return to the court with our troops, the emperor will never blame us."

"Everyone listens to the order and returns to the team immediately. We will set off back to the imperial capital in an hour."

Upon hearing that the emperor would not blame him, all the soldiers immediately felt at ease and responded loudly: "Yes, general."

Soon, all the soldiers returned to the team quickly and were ready to go!

Why did Vice Generals Li and Liu return to the court so quickly instead of finding ways to capture Murong Xuan and perform meritorious service? Just because they all knew that Emperor Qi Yuan's imperial decree called for the recruitment of 10,000 troops and imperial guards, but not the secret guards. They were also afraid that if they did not return to the court as soon as possible according to the order, they would become the next secret guards.

On the top of a distant mountain, Murong Xuan stood there quietly, looking at the dragon tent in the distance. His face was dark, his hands behind his back were clenched with veins bulging out, his whole body was filled with cold air, and his eyes were filled with intense emotions. The murderous intent! There is also a hint of doubt... Why did Murong Tang not mention his life experience to the outside world? Xiao Jinxi knew about this matter, Murong Yi must also know about it, and Murong Tang should also know about it. Based on this, it would be more justifiable to dethrone the emperor. But why didn't Murong Tang mention it? Is it to protect the Wu'an Hou Mansion, so Murong Tang didn't mention it? Or did Murong Yi not tell him?

The two secret guards stood aside, feeling the cold air and murderous aura around Murong Xuan, and they did not dare to breathe. As early as last night, they had received the flying pigeon message from Hei Yu, who had been hiding in the Imperial City. In addition, by the time she received the news, Emperor Qiyuan's three imperial edicts had been sent out, and Heiyu had just hurriedly sent a message to the north.

And they all knew that Emperor Qi Yuan's imperial decree called for the recruitment of an army of 10,000 and the Royal Forest Army, but not the secret guards!

And from the day they became secret guards, they had no way out. Whether they were the emperor's secret guards or other people's secret guards, their success or failure, honor or disgrace could only follow their master! Just because what they do is the most secretive thing of the master, or it is something that cannot be put on the table! What he knows is also the most unknown aspect of his master! Therefore, they have already run out of retreat! Death is their only escape, but they don't want to die, so they can only follow their master and walk into darkness!

After a long time, Murong Xuan asked, with a cold voice: "How's it going over there at Black Eagle?"

A secret guard hurriedly bowed and replied: "Master, Black Eagle has contacted the leader, and will take action when the opportunity is right."

Murong Xuan asked angrily: "Where is Li Yue?"

Another secret guard responded: "Master, Li Yue is already in the dungeon and has been tortured. You can interrogate him at any time."

Murong Xuan just nodded with satisfaction: "Yes."

Suddenly, his voice turned cold and he asked: "Have you found Ye Qing?" A secret guard hurriedly replied: "Master, I'm still... still looking. Although I know it's probably near Yunfeng Mountain, but... maybe Ye Qing has changed. He was dressed up, but our people haven’t been found for a while.”

Hearing this, Murong Xuan became even more angry and shouted: "You bastard! I haven't found it after searching for so long!"

The two secret guards hurriedly apologized: "Master atones for his sins. We will find him as soon as possible."

Murong Xuan shouted angrily: "Tell them to search quickly. If they can't find it again, come and see him."

The two secret guards responded hurriedly: "Yes, Master."

For a moment, a secret guard warned tremblingly: "Master, you should go back early. The northern army is expected to search the area soon."

Hearing this, Murong Xuan's face darkened even more. He remained silent, but his anger was suppressed in his heart. Hehe... He had been planning step by step for more than ten years, but in the end he was defeated by the Marquis of Wu'an! Marquis Wu An, Xiao Jinxi, Murong Yi, even if you lose, I will never let you go! No, not only that, but you, Ye Qing!

After a moment, Murong Xuan finally said: "Let's go."

Soon, the three of them disappeared.

However, just after these three people left, further away from where the three of them were standing, in the hidden flowers, there were two figures who had been squatting on the ground without daring to move at all. At this moment, two heads were raised. Turning his head and taking a closer look, he saw that both of them were dressed in tattered beggar's clothes.

A figure opened his mouth and said silently: "Xiaogu, can you leave?"

Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be Xiao Gu and Xiao Jinxuan, but at this moment their faces lacked their usual fair complexion and instead had dark complexions.

Xiao Gu responded: "Let's go, Xuan'er, be careful."

Xiao Jinxuan responded hurriedly: "Hey..."

At this moment, I saw Xiao Gu take out a glass bottle from the small cloth bag on his waist. There were two dancing butterflies in the glass bottle. If he looked closely, he seemed familiar.

That's right, the former Xue Jieyu and Lin Xueer gave Xiao Jinxi this kind of butterfly in a glass bottle for use on Dugu Yan. Once the butterflies inside are released, they can go away looking for a specific smell, which is most suitable for searching for people. When Xiao Jinxuan and Xiao Gu left Hanjian Villa, Lin Xueer specially prepared it for them. They were afraid that they would be in danger along the way, just in case of emergencies, but they never thought that Xiao Jinxuan would run away on her own in the end, and the butterfly would actually be used on Murong Xuan.

Xiao Jinxuan asked: "Xiao Gu, can this thing really find Murong Xuan?"

Xiao Gu responded excitedly: "No problem, they have been standing here for so long, and there must be a lot of medicinal powder on their bodies and shoes. Sister Xue'er is so powerful, what she prepared must be fine."

Xiao Jinxuan nodded desperately: "Great, hurry up, let go of the butterflies."

"Okay! Let's eliminate the smell of the medicinal powder around us first, so that the butterflies can follow them." Xiaogu said, then took out another bottle of medicinal powder from his body, spread it quickly again, and said, "That's it."

Then, he opened the glass bottle and released the butterflies. The butterflies hovered in the air for a while, and then flew away in one direction. Xiaogu hurriedly shouted: "Xuan'er, hurry up, follow me."

Xiao Jinxuan responded hurriedly: "Hey!"

The two of them chased the butterfly away at high speed...

Before, half an hour ago.

Still on the top of this mountain, Xiao Jinxuan and Xiao Gu kept looking at the dragon tent in the distance. Since last night, these two people had been squatting here to guard it.

Xiao Jinxuan said anxiously: "Xiao Gu, we have been here all night, why haven't we seen Murong Xuan come out?"

Xiaogu comforted him: "Xuan'er, don't worry, let's wait a little longer. This is Murong Xuan's camp, we will definitely be able to wait for him."

Xiao Jinxuan cursed angrily: "Murong Xuan, you bastard! I will definitely kill you to avenge my mother!"

Xiaogu said hurriedly: "Xuan'er, I know you feel uncomfortable. You want revenge, and I will help you. But you must listen to me and follow me closely, you know? Otherwise, if something happens to you, the eldest lady will definitely You won’t let me go.”

Xiao Jinxuan finally suppressed her anger and responded: "I know. Xiaogu, thank you for helping me. I'm sorry, it was me who caused you trouble."

Xiaogu reached out and patted Xiao Jinxuan, and said very loyally: "It's okay, I'm your best friend, of course I have to help you, and of course I can't let you take risks alone. If the eldest lady punishes us, we will suffer together." That’s it, it’s all trivial.”

"Xuan'er, although your mother is gone, she saved your father. I think your mother must have been lucky that the sword didn't hurt your father."

Xiao Jinxuan's eyes were red, tears fell, and she murmured: "Yes, mother always misses father in her heart. She must be very happy to be with father in the north these days. Father is safe now, mother I will definitely be happy as well."

Xiao Gu hurriedly hugged Xiao Jinxuan and comforted: "Yes. Xuan'er, you are right. Xuan'er, let's not cry. You still have your eldest sister. Your eldest sister loves you so much. You will not be alone." , I will always be with you."

Xiao Jinxuan wiped away her tears with her hands and said, "Well, I won't cry."

The two of them were talking when suddenly, Xiao Gu glanced into the distance from the corner of his eyes and shouted hurriedly: "Xuan'er, hurry up, look over there."

Hearing the sound, Xiao Jinxuan hurriedly looked in the direction and saw the dark crowd heading towards Emperor Mingxi's dragon tent. Looking from a distance, she could feel the tense momentum!

Xiao Jinxuan exclaimed: "Oh my God! What happened?"

Xiao Gu said hurriedly: "Xuan'er, let's sneak to the front and take a look."

Xiao Jinxuan responded hurriedly: "Okay, let's go quickly."

The two hurriedly turned around and walked down the hillside. However, just after walking a short distance, three vague figures appeared at the foot of the distant hillside.

Xiao Gu, who was always vigilant, spotted it in an instant. He hurriedly grabbed Xiao Jinxuan and whispered: "Xuan'er, there is someone."

Xiao Jinxuan was startled and hurriedly knelt down with Xiao Gu. Xiao Gu took out a telescope from his body and took a look. His face was filled with surprise. He hurriedly covered Xiao Jinxuan's mouth with his hand and whispered: "Xuan'er, it's Murong Xuan."

Hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan's face was also full of shock, followed by anger, but her mouth was tightly covered by Xiao Gu, and she didn't make any sound.

Xiao Gu shook his head hurriedly and whispered: "Xuan'er, listen to me, now is not the time for revenge. We must find out clearly before we take action, otherwise our own lives will not be saved. Let's find a place first. Hide and see where Murong Xuan will go next, don't worry, I have a way to find Murong Xuan, you believe me."

Hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan finally calmed down and nodded.

Seeing Xiao Jinxuan nodding in agreement, Xiaogu just let go of the hand covering his mouth, hurriedly pulled Xiao Jinxuan back and retreated as fast as possible.

However, when passing by the place just now, Xiao Gu quickly took out a small bottle of medicinal powder from his body and quickly spread it around! Because of this orientation, the direction of the dragon tent can be seen most clearly.

After spraying the powder, Xiao Gu quickly pulled Xiao Jinxuan up, ran away, and found a hidden place to hide.

······

At the same time, a farm near Linfengdu.
