Return after the poison of rebirth

Chapter 336

Under Antai City, Murong Yun was wearing armor and sitting on horseback, followed by three thousand elite soldiers, not too many.

Murong Wu was sitting in the imperial chariot, surrounded by hundreds of guards of honor, and thousands of imperial guards clearing the way in front of him.

The two looked at each other and smiled, each showing their sharpness.

Murong Wu in the imperial chariot is as majestic as the real dragon emperor.

Murong Yun on horseback, killing iron and blood, looks like the wild wolf king.

After meeting each other, Murong Yun turned over and jumped off the horse, came to Murong Wu's imperial chariot and knelt down, "See my emperor."

"Please get up!" Murong Wu raised his hands for help, and said with a faint smile: "You are my own younger brother, why should you be so restrained."

"The etiquette of a monarch and his ministers cannot be revoked, the king first, and the elder brother second!" Murong Yun knelt and did not move.

Murong Wu's performance made Murong Wu extremely satisfied.

"Get up! Why do you need to keep kneeling like this!" Murong Wu said again.

"Thank you, Your Majesty..." After Murong Yun clasped his fists and saluted, he got up.

Murong Wu met his deep and dark eyes, always felt uncomfortable, and hesitated in his heart about his promotion.

"You came here from the frontier, go back to the palace to rest first, and we will talk about the rest later." Murong Wu said kindly, but he was actually calculating in his heart, after testing out Murong Yun's attitude, he would decide whether to reward or kill him.

Facing Murong Wu's elder brother-like caring attitude, Murong Yun's expression remained unchanged, maintaining the respect and decency that a courtier should have, without showing a little arrogance and frivolity.

He got on his horse and entered the imperial city with Murong Wu's imperial chariot.

The next day would be Murong Wu's birthday, so today he arranged for Murong Yun to choose a palace to rest.

Before Murong Yun had time to change out of his armor and battle clothes, the palace servants came to pass on a message, "Fifth Prince, Your Majesty invites you to go to Qiankun Palace to have a talk."

Murong Yun was simply puzzled by the armor on his body, put on his battle clothes again, and said to the palace: "I will go with you."

In Qiankun Palace, bursts of fine smoke from Long Yanxiang diffused from the golden beast incense burner.

As soon as he entered the palace, Murong Yun knelt down and said, "See Your Majesty..."

Murong Wu put away the chess pieces, raised his hand to him and said: "Fifth Brother, come here, I play chess by myself these days, it's really boring, I just need someone who can play chess with me."

Murong Yun got up, and smiled brightly, "I'm afraid the emperor has found the wrong person, and my younger brother is not proficient in chess."

"How could it be?" Murong Wu stroked Bai Zi, seemingly in disbelief, "You lead troops to fight, to arrange troops, and you are always at the disadvantage. How can you not play chess? No matter whether you are good at chess or not, come and play a game with me. .”

Murong Yun didn't refuse any more, and just said: "After the meeting, if my younger brother makes a bad move, the emperor shouldn't make fun of it."

"I'm not making fun of you, just come and play a game with me." Murong Wu said with a smile.

Murong Yun sat on the soft chair with the ink pad, and the palace servant offered a cup of hot tea.

"One set of white pieces, one set of black pieces, which one do you want to choose, fifth brother?" Murong Wu asked, this was another test.

"The younger brother holds the black pieces, the emperor goes first..." Murong Yun took the chess bowl from him.

Black and white dominate yin and yang, black is yin and white is yang.The sun goes first, and the position of the son of heaven symbolizes the sun and the moon, and the white son should be held.

Murong Wu squeezed the white piece, and it landed on the "Tianyuan" part of the chessboard.

Murong Yun didn't hesitate, and landed a sunspot next to him.

After a while, Baizi gained the upper hand and took down a lot of sunspots.

Murong Wu laughed, "Fifth brother is really not good at chess!"

"My younger brother has already said it, but the emperor doesn't believe it..." Holding Heizi, Murong Yun watched carefully.

"I should trust you, it's just that the world is like a chess game, and it's ever-changing. I'm afraid I'll trust the wrong person." Murong Wu said as he dropped the chess pieces.

Before he ascended the throne, he fought with Murong Pavilion and wrote a letter asking Murong Yun to lead troops to rescue him, but he has been standing still on the frontier.This alone made him feel resentful.

If Nanling King hadn't helped him, he would have died in the hands of the usurper, Murong Pavilion.

Murong Yun heard his subtext, and said calmly: "The world is impermanent, and no one can predict it. The emperor only needs to stare at the chessboard and see the position of each move, and he can also see the thoughts and plans in his heart."

"Not bad!" Murong Wu looked satisfied, and pocketed another piece of sunspot.Murong Yun only brought [-] elite soldiers into the city, what can a mere [-] soldiers do?Come to think of it, he was overthinking.

"Tomorrow is my birthday, my fifth brother will stay in Antai City for a while, and it won't be too late to return to the frontier."

Murong Wu's words have already expressed his trust in him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness..." He caressed Heizi, looked at Baizi who seemed to occupy half of the country, and smiled silently.

A lot of chess is not enough to win, only one step at a time, impeccable, can win.

Murong Wu took it lightly, an important flaw was revealed between the white pieces, as long as this piece in his hand falls, he can turn defeat into victory.

……

The army outside the pass traveled day and night, and they wanted to arrive at Antai City before Murong Wu's birthday.

The two generals Chen and Yi got the news first. Murong Yun only brought three thousand troops back to the imperial capital this time.After thinking about it, the two generals planned to mobilize 1 people to the imperial city.

Even if there is a rebellion, 1 elite soldiers are no match for [-] people.

The outside of the pass is far away from the imperial city. If there are too many troops, the delivery of food and grass may not be able to keep up.He also couldn't reach the imperial city before Murong Yun made his move.

The last pass among the thirteen passes is also the one closest to the imperial city, Yanwei Pass.The terrain here is flat, and it is not easy to have ambushes.The two generals Chen and Yi decided to set up camp outside Yanwei Pass tonight.

After nightfall, the sky is dotted with stars.

The stars are chess, the world is a game, who will kill?
A graceful figure appeared on the tower of Yanwei Pass. She held a jade flute in her hand, but she didn't blow it.After one hand made a gesture, countless pale gray shadows appeared from behind her, climbed down from the tower, and followed the moonlight, silently sneaked into the tent of the garrison.

It wasn't until someone got up at night that they saw the blood flowing from the tent.

A scream sounded, the horn blew, and there was a panic in the barracks.There were lamps and shadows flickering among the scattered tents, shouts and curses came and went, and those ghostly shadows had disappeared from the barracks.

"What's going on?" General Chen shouted sharply.

The surviving soldier stumbled and said: "General, someone came to attack, and most of the brothers in several camps died."

General Chen looked around in disbelief, "With so many people dead, why is there no sound at all?"

That's right, there was a night of silence in the barracks, and even the screams of people before they died were never heard.

The soldier said with a pale face: "They all had their mouths covered and their necks were wiped with a knife. I'm afraid they would have died without feeling any pain. Such a quick technique..." It was like ghosts gushing out from the underworld. .

General Chen's face became silent little by little, while General Yi stood aside without saying a word.

The silver moon was shrouded in light clouds, and the sky and the earth sank little by little, as if there were countless ghosts hiding in the dark, looking at them with dark green eyes, waiting for the opportunity to move, more frightening than preying beasts.

"What are you panicking!" General Chen yelled, "Go and count the number of people first to see how many people died!"

After a while, the soldiers came to report, "There are hundreds of people dead, it's just a short time."

General Chen turned cold and said nothing.They don't know how many masters are hiding in the dark, and why these masters came...

General Yi said: "It is not suitable to stay here for a long time, we should continue marching at night."

"Where can we go in the middle of the night? They sneaked up silently, there must not be many people! We still have thousands of people, are we still afraid that they will fail?" General Chen said angrily, kicking the soldier, "Go Wake them all up, no one is allowed to sleep again tonight!"

The soldiers ordered, the horn blew again and again, and candles were lit in every tent, and no one dared to sleep again, for fear that it would disappear in the middle of the night without a sound.

The swallowtail was closed, and the woman smiled brightly and coldly, as if a sharp and gorgeous blade hidden in the sheath was unfolded little by little.

She blew the jade flute, and the sound of the flute was terrifying and shrill, and went straight to the sky.

The moon passes through the light clouds, and the cold light shines on the earth again.

Everyone in the camp looked towards the place where Xiao Sheng came from. After seeing the beautiful figure clearly, General Chen scolded angrily: "It's midnight, what kind of fool is playing tricks on the tower?"

The people on the tower did not answer, and the sound of the flute burst out the sound of gold and stone, piercing the eardrums.General Chen covered his ears and glared at the figure. The person who came was also a practitioner, and he turned his breath into a voice.The rhythm is sharp and piercing, which also shows that the visitor has deep internal strength.

The wind blows, and three thousand blue threads float.

General Yi shouted, "It's actually a woman!"

"Woman?" General Chen laughed out loud after repeating the sentence, "Women dare to come here? You are beyond your control! Bring my bow and arrow, and I will shoot her down!"

The soldiers married bows and arrows, General Chen aimed at the ethereal figure on the tower, and shot with one arrow.

The woman upstairs didn't dodge either, she fell down as if she was shot by his arrow.The ear-piercing flute also disappeared.

The soldier flattered: "The general is really good at archery! You can shoot through Yang with a hundred steps!"

"That's..." General Chen laughed a little complacently, before the laughter was over, a silent cold knife was pressed against his neck.

There was a sudden silence in the barracks, and the soldier saw the person behind him clearly, showing amazement and astonishment.

It was an extremely beautiful woman, as if she had stepped down from the picture of a lady with hairpin flowers.At this moment, she was holding the knife and clinging to General Chen's back, like a ghost appearing in a moonlit night.

He knew this woman, she was just playing the flute with the dovetail closed, and was shot by General Chen with an arrow. He didn't expect that she didn't die, but quietly appeared behind them.

"Who are you?" General Yi asked nervously.

As soon as the words fell, a flamboyant figure stepped over the moon, the coquettish purple gauze was hanging down, and the cold fragrance hit people, and with him came the piercing chill.

The soldier's eyes widened again, this man is so beautiful!The glass is the pupil, the frost and snow are the hair, and the beauty of the country is bestowed by the soul.Cool and noble, free from dust and smoke, like a fairy.

Generals Chen and Yi also looked at him in shock, and shouted respectfully and fearfully, "King of Nanling!"
