The world is fragrant

Chapter 40 Lead the snake out of the hole

() "Xu Wei, did you see clearly? The princess's maid sneaked into Chu's Manor?" A bearded man in a red robe gulped down the spirits in his glass. He was captured by Murong Bolin not long ago. After a swearing, he was a majestic ninth-rank Martial Emperor, and he lost all face in front of his servants, so he was naturally resentful at this time.

Ming Zhantian is 37 years old and rank 9 Martial Emperor. He is good at double halberds, so he was nicknamed the Overlord of Double Halberds.

Xu Wei nodded respectfully, with a trace of flattery on his face: "I see clearly, Lord Zhantian, it is absolutely true. I saw the princess's maid, Xiao Cui, sneaked into the Chu's manor, but the servants of the other party ignored her. "

"Could it be that the princess is hiding there? Hmph!" Ming Zhantian sneered, the wine dripped slowly from the corner of his mouth, he grabbed the two halberds on the table, and hung them gently on his back.

Xu Wei was immediately overjoyed: "Lord Zhan Tian, ​​are you going to make a move? This is a rare opportunity! It seems that you are the one who captured the princess!"

Xu Wei's flattery was eloquent, but Ming Zhantian was cautious under his rough beard. He frowned, then picked up the jug, and poured the wine into his mouth , After a while, he said:

"Noisy! The task of searching for the princess, of course someone will go there. But the old man's task is to keep an eye on that little girl, Shen Mengyao!"

Xu Wei still persuasively said: "Ah? This is a great achievement! Master Zhan Tian..."

"Hmph, Xu Wei, I think you'd better go ask the young master for instructions, the old man will not accompany you!" Ming Zhantian suddenly stood up, and with the strong wind, he suddenly lifted up the red robe.

A venomous gaze stared at Ming Zhantian's back, only to see Xu Wei's face livid, and he was even more furious in his heart: "Ming Zhantian, you old man! What are you dragging? Sooner or later, I, Xu Wei, will step on On your head!"

********************

"What, is the princess really there? Xiao Cui, are you serious?" In a hidden forest, the heroic Shen Mengyao was staring at the princess' maid with piercing eyes.

Xiaocui nodded hastily, but there was still some sadness hidden in her eyes: "General Mengyao, hurry up and pick up the princess! Princess, princess...the princess may have an affair with the owner of the manor!"

Shen Mengyao looked very shocked. She took a few steps before she managed to restrain her emotions: "This matter is no small matter. Even if the princess does not marry Murong Bolin, her marriage is not up to her own decision."

Xiaocui called again coquettishly: "General Mengyao, hurry up and get the princess out."

But the beautiful general shook his head: "No, it still doesn't work now!"

Xiaocui was puzzled: "Why?"

Shen Mengyao sighed, and she glanced at her men with firm eyes. After fighting big and small these days, most of them were slightly injured, but even so, the dozen or so knights still had no complaints.

"Xiao Cui, I found that I was still negligent. Since the other party failed to capture you, Murong Bolin has changed his routine. I have noticed one thing several times, that is, the Twin Halberds Overlord Ming Zhantian. behind me."

Xiaocui exclaimed: "Huh? Can't we just throw each other away?"

Shen Mengyao said helplessly: "If I don't move, the enemy won't move. If I want to move, the enemy will move! The current situation is exactly where the two sides are fighting each other. The generals of the two sides are facing each other here. The only thing we can rely on It can only be a pawn crossing the river."

When Xiaocui heard this, she nodded like a mirror: "General Mengyao, do you need Xiaocui to do something?"

"Well, Xiao Cui, don't go back to Chu's Manor. Take my soldier talisman, break through Murong Bolin's southern defense line, and immediately go to rescue General Chen Tianmei." Shen Mengyao took out half a tiger from her close-fitting clothes. Bronze Talisman.Under the sunlight, the soldier talisman shone with a strange luster.

Xiaocui lowered her head shyly and said, "I don't need to bother him so much. What if the soldier talisman is lost..."

Shen Mengyao smiled, and still insisted on stuffing the soldier talisman into Xiaocui's hand: "Hehe, I forgot, you and him have a special relationship. But this time the matter is not trivial, I think it's safer to bring the soldier talisman. Xiao Cui Cui, the princess's safety depends on you, please call for reinforcements no matter what."

Xiaocui said resolutely: "Yes, General Mengyao, even if Xiaocui desperately wants to find reinforcements!"

***********************

Murong Bolin's temporary residence was heavily guarded. Xu Wei, who had just lost the young master's favor, was blocked by several guards outside the gate. He had to beg in a low voice, but the situation didn't seem so good.

"Everyone, please accommodate me. I really have something urgent to report to the young master."

The headed guard laughed. He pushed Xu Wei's chest, looked down condescendingly and said: "Xu Wei, I advise you not to waste your efforts in vain, the young master will not see you, go back and do your own business honestly. Said my brothers didn't remind you."

Grass, dogs look down on people!

Xu Wei was furious in his heart, he pretended to give up and turned around.But suddenly he rushed towards the inside at a faster speed, while still shouting in his mouth: "Young master, young master, I am Awei, I have something important to report!"

The guards were also annoyed by Xu Wei's ignorance and flattery. If it was a normal day, and the opponent's sixth-rank Martial King cultivation base was still there, they would definitely be broken through if they were caught off guard.At that time, no matter whether Xu Wei could get Murong Bolin's forgiveness or not, they all had a lot to do with it.

The headed guard sneered ferociously: "Hmph, if you don't eat a toast, you'll be punished, brothers, beat him out!"

"it is good!"

There was chaos outside Xingyuan, Xu Wei was knocked to the ground by several guards, and beat him desperately.It was also because he deserved his life that a middle-aged Taoist priest suddenly walked out of it, with a long black beard fluttering in the strong wind.

"What's the matter, it's so noisy outside?"

Xu Wei finally got the chance, he tried his best to get up from the ground, and shouted loudly: "Master Tianji, I'm Awei, I have something urgent to report to the young master, it's about the whereabouts of the princess!"

The middle-aged Taoist nodded and replied, "Oh, then let him in!"

"Thank you, Daoist Master Tianji, thank you Daoist Master Tianji! Hmph, why don't you let me go?" Xu Wei gave the guards a vicious look, and then straightened his wrinkled clothes up and down.

Looking at Xu Wei's haughty back, the leader of the guards spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm bitterly: "Bah, the villain is successful!"

**********************

Holding the teacup, Murong Bolin sipped the Mingqian Longjing which was specially prepared by the locality.I saw the tea fragrance curling up, the aroma is strong, and the tea is mellow and refreshing.

For a moment, Murong Bolin couldn't help being in a good mood. After a few days of exhaustion, he looked up at his confidant Xu Wei and asked, "Ah Wei? What's going on? Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on Chu?" Is it the Manor?"

Xu Wei knelt on the ground at this time, not daring to vent his breath. Hearing the young master's question at this moment, he hurriedly moved forward a few steps, nodded and bowed his head, and said, "Young master, Ah Wei discovered something important, so he first reported it to Zhan. Lord Tian, ​​but Lord Zhantian didn’t want to believe it, so I had no choice but to run over and report to you.”

"Oh? What exactly is it?" Murong Bolin frowned. As the saying goes, three people make a tiger, and a person's reputation is always quietly slandered.

Xu Wei finished his point, and then he told the most important information: "It's like this, young master. I found out that the princess's maid, Xiaocui, had infiltrated the Chu's manor, but the other party's servants turned a blind eye to it. So... .”

Murong Bolin jumped at the table: "What? When did you find out?"

"Just this afternoon."

Murong Bolin narrowed his eyes, and asked coldly, "So, is Xiaocui out?"

"No...no, no, it finally came out." Pressed by Murong Bolin's gaze, Xu Wei immediately swallowed his lies, but he was not depressed, because the young master's attitude just fit him. mind.

Murong Bolin took a few steps, turned around and asked the middle-aged Taoist priest, "What does this mean? Daoist Master Tianji, what do you think of this matter?"

The middle-aged Taoist priest named Tianji Daochang stroked his long beard. He is Murong Bolin's "left arm". The Taoist Master Tianji is his confidant and think tank.

"My subordinates have three guesses. First, there is no princess in Chu's manor, so Xiaocui came out."

Xu Wei exclaimed: "Ah? This is impossible!"

Murong Bolin kicked Xu Wei angrily, and warned: "Who told you that you are not big or small, don't interrupt the Taoist leader."

Daoist Tianji stroked his beard and smiled: "It's okay, Awei is also a heartfelt master."

As the saying goes, everyone carries a sedan chair, and it is better to offend a gentleman than a villain.From this point of view, the gap between Taoist Master Tianji and Ming Zhantian can be explained by far more than the ranking of left and right.

"Secondly, there is a princess in Chu's manor, but Xiao Cui couldn't find it."

This time it was Murong Bolin's turn to shake his head: "Master Dao, I don't think this is very likely, because Awei said that the other party's servants turned a blind eye to him. It's weird!"

Daoist Tianji waved his hand, and the smile on his face grew stronger. His own analysis was two false and one true. In fact, he wanted to express the last suggestion most.But he couldn't say it openly.

Because he must retain his sense of superiority in the face of superiors, and of course a think tank must have his own wisdom pearls in his hands, and he must be confident.

"Master, don't worry, I have a third guess. That is, Xiaocui found the princess, but she was worried about exposing her target, so she chose to ask Shen Mengyao for help."

Murong Bolin asked suspiciously: "Then what is Shen Mengyao's reaction now?"

Daoist Tianji continued to smile: "There is no reaction. But according to my subordinates, no matter what the truth is, Shen Mengyao will not make any violent reactions. Because the two sides are already in the situation of exchanging sons, if she dares to act, then Master Zhan Tian will naturally snatch the princess back without mercy."

Murong Bolin clasped fists and palms excitedly, twitched his eyebrows, nodded immediately and said: "Well, it seems that this possibility is the biggest so far. I wonder if Taoist Master Tianji has any tricks to teach me?" But his expression was still the same. There was a hint of hesitation.

"Damn Chu's Manor, haven't we found any information about this manor?"

Daoist Tianji laughed: "Haha, young master, no matter how the situation changes, this subordinate happens to have a clever plan for you—namely, leading the snake out of its hole!"
