Chapter 453 Chapter 456 Battle
Hearing Shen Mu's words, Hou Xibai agreed: "This is reasonable. Such a tunnel leading to the palace is of great importance. Of course, the skilled craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty must rack their brains to ensure its safety, so they set up traps to let those who find the tunnel The enemy fell for it."

The three of them began to study the north wall of the tunnel. One piece was burnt out, and then they went to the other. They explored along the way, until the last piece ended up in the fire, but they still found nothing.

Shen Mu sighed: "My newly-promoted civil engineering master really fell home today and died. His mother's mere tunnel seems to be more difficult to decipher than Yang Gong's treasure."

Xu Ziling came back in the dark from the exit of the small building in the Yin Mansion, and said, "I missed the south wall on the other side, but unfortunately we don't have much time, we have to leave, otherwise it won't be so convenient after dawn, come back tomorrow night!"

Hou Xibai, who was still standing at the foot of the exit stone steps, gestured to indicate that there were people above.

Shen Mu and Xu Ziling were greatly surprised. Logically, the small attic should belong to the forbidden area of ​​the Yin Mansion, and the daily cleaning should not be carried out before dawn, but they are not worried that someone will come to the tunnel, because the exit can only be opened from the inside, unless The person who came had the ability of Shen Mu and Xu Ziling to unite just now.Second, this should be Li Yuan's exclusive "royal way", and it should not be abused by others.

When they came to Hou Xibai's side, they heard the voices of a man and a woman talking.

Xu Ziling said in a low voice: "The male seems to be Yin Zuwen, and the female... Hey... The female, oh! It's Wen Caiting from the Yingui sect."

As the two climbed up the steps step by step, their voices became clearer, but this was only for Xu Ziling.

Just listen to Yin Zuwen said: "This matter should not be rushed, and the time has not yet come. Let's plant the cause first, and then reap the fruit."

Xu Ziling was at a loss when he heard it, thinking that he must have missed the more exciting conversation earlier.

Suddenly there was the sound of clothes rubbing against each other, followed by Wen Caiting's groaning, as long as you are not a fool, you will know that the man and woman above are lingering and affectionate.

This Wen Caiting doesn't know whether she is using her undiminished hue to achieve her goals, or she is just being promiscuous.

Then Wen Caiting said coquettishly: "How is his skill? Are you satisfied?"

Xu Ziling said softly to Shen Mu and Hou Xibai who looked expectant, "They just had a good time."

Shen Mu wiped his brow of sweat and said, "It's a good thing, otherwise we would have suffocated to death here."

Yin Zuwen's voice came to Xu Ziling's spiritual ears again: "Cai Ting, you are really a miracle. You were so charming 12 years ago, and you are still so charming today after 12 years. Those tender babies are boring after trying two more times. Can match you."

Xu Ziling thought to himself that the two were old friends, but there are so many places in the Yin Mansion, why did they come to this small building with hidden secret passages for a tryst? If Li Yuan had a whim and wanted to go on a second tour tonight, wouldn't it be a coincidence?

Wen Caiting asked, "Where is the entrance to the tunnel?"

Xu Ziling was taken aback, and then thought that the other party couldn't open it from the outside, so he felt relieved.

Yin Zuwen said: "It's under the couch, but it can only be revealed from the inside. On the first day I was assigned to this mansion, I took on the responsibility of guarding the tunnel for Li Yuan, but I never entered the tunnel."

Wen Caiting chuckled and said, "Li Yuan trusts you very much!"

Yin Zuwen said with a smile: "Li Yuan is not difficult to deal with, the most important thing is to do what he likes. At the beginning, he didn't think of using the tunnel to spend time and money. It was all because of my reminder and arrangement, which enriched his life. In his heart, I, Yin Zuwen Zu Wen is the real hero."

Wen Caiting flattered and said: "As far as wisdom is concerned, senior brother Yin can be among the top three in my holy sect. I just want to see you bring out a daughter who will make half of the world of the Li family fall into senior brother Yin's pocket. The Gui faction is far behind."

Yin Zuwen said: "You put your strength on the bed to please me! Don't talk about gossip, I admire Qing'er very much, and think she is the best candidate for Zhu's heir, more suitable than Wan'er."

Wen Caiting sighed: "Senior Uncle Bichen and Junior Brother Bian and I are all optimistic about Qing'er, the problem is that one day the "Tianmo Jue" is in her hands, and she is still the legitimate heir."

Yin Zuwen said: "As long as you can capture her alive, I will have a way to force her to hand over the formula. This girl's aptitude is very good, but the problem is that she is ignorant of current affairs and only cares about avenging her teacher. Now the dream of my holy sect There will be a chance to make it happen, so we must let go of the rift, unite, and let the most capable people come out to lead."

Wen Caiting was silent for a while, then said in a deep voice: "Okay! As long as Qing'er gets the formula and Shi Zhixuan is willing to kill his daughter to show his determination, I can take the place of the other elders of the Yingui Sect and follow Shi Zhixuan's orders Oh, it will be morning soon!"

Shen Mu came to Situ Mansion with the appearance of Cai Yuanyong, and found four new servants, asked Lei Jiuzhi, the latter smiled and said: "This way I seem to be a housekeeper! Otherwise, when guests come, I will become an errand." , I was the one who opened the door, and I was the one who poured the tea and handed the water, what are they like. These four people were dispatched by Chen Fu, and they are fellow villagers of Lord Fu Rong, so there is no problem with their loyalty."

The two met with Ren Jun's Situ Furong in the hall, and after sitting around the table, Shen Mu lowered his voice and said, "Will Second Master Song be a beautiful woman?"

Lei Jiuzhi said in astonishment: "From your tone of voice, it seems that you mean something else."

Shen Mu said: "Don't you think our Second Master Song became lively after seeing Shang Meiren yesterday?"

Ren Jundao: "Master Kou said that, and the boy also felt the same way. Master Song told me that he ran all over the East and West markets, and began to buy the floral cloth that he wanted as a gift for the shop owner. When he came back, he asked us about it." Opinion. Master Song's vision is of course so good that no one can criticize it."

Lei Jiuzhi pondered and said: "Did you plant willows inadvertently this time and Liu Chengyin? If it is true, it is really gratifying. You and Xiaoling will settle one thing on your mind."

Ren Jun asked curiously: "What's on your mind?"

Lei Jiu pointed at the old man and said, "Kids don't care about adults' business." Seeing Ren Jun's disappointed expression, he said softly, "I'll tell you later, it's time to get down to business."

Shen Mu said: "Is there any important business?"

Lei Jiu pointed out: "Yin Zuwen is hosting a banquet for our Lord Furong at Shanglin Garden tonight, to clean up the dust for Lord Furong, do you think this is a serious business?"

Shen Mu happily said: "Finally caught the trick!"

Xuan frowned again and said, "Then tonight, is it necessary to overthrow Er Wenhuan's Tianxian game?"

Lei Jiu pointed and said, "You seem to have forgotten who you are. What does Fu Rong's entertainment have to do with your running errands?"

Shen Mu laughed dumbly and said: "The boss is really powerful in disowning the newcomers. The villain has little knowledge and doesn't know how easy it is to run errands. He just needs to hide at home and sleep or wander around, and occasionally enter the casino to gamble with his mother." hands."

Lei Jiuzhi smiled and said: "I mean you just need to put on a facade. When we have a big bowl of wine and a big piece of meat inside, you can sneak across the street and wait for the bait. This is exactly what greedy gamblers don't want to miss any bets." True color, I guarantee that no one will doubt you."

Ren Jundao: "Master Lei wants to ask the young marshal how I should deal with it tonight."

Shen Mu said happily: "It's very simple. You have to reveal your ambitions for the casino, and you have to show a consistent style of prudence and suspicion. Of course, you should pay attention to Yin Zuwen, and you'd better ask Ling Shao about the overall plan. Knows better than me."

Lei Jiuzhi smiled and said: "Right now, those who have a heart are those who have a heart. Fortunately, we know what's going on in their hearts, but they don't know what's going on in my sleeve. We have the upper hand."

Shen Mu happily said: "If Chi Shengchun is among the guests tonight, then we will not be far from success. There is one more important thing that I almost forgot to tell you. Everyone was slaughtered by Shi Zhixuan last night, but Shi Zhixuan actually said that Yang Xuyan is an 'atom'."

Lei Jiuzhi and Ren Jun were astonished.

After asking about what happened, Lei Jiu pointed out: "This matter must have caused a sensation in the whole city and shocked the world."

Shen Mu said: "I said that no one knew about it. When using troops abroad, the Tang Dynasty will try to suppress such news, not to leak the slightest bit of news, as if nothing happened, so as not to panic .”

He sighed again: "Shi Zhixuan is indeed not to be underestimated, just this move is enough to deter all the sects of the Demon Sect, and the situation of Houhou will be even more dangerous."

Lei Jiuzhi frowned and said, "Do you still want to appease this witch?"

Shen Mu smiled wryly and said, "I'm not appeasing her, it's just a strategic need. We're not just a general vendetta, but an open and secret struggle for world hegemony."

Lei Jiuzhi and Ren Jun looked at each other, speechless.

Unexpectedly by Shen Mu and others, Song Shidao didn't come back with a relaxed and happy expression, but a serious one.

Lei Jiuzhi and Ren Jun Zhiji excused themselves to leave so that they could talk in private.

Song Shidao took the incense that Shen Mu poured, took a sip unconsciously and put it on the table, staring straight ahead with his eyes, Shen Mu was sure that he turned a blind eye and was just immersed in deep thought.Tentatively asked: "Are the mall owners still refusing to forgive us?"

Song Shidao shook his head blankly, and said: "I think she has given up most of her anger towards you. She is a wise woman and knows you very well. She should understand that you have other difficulties."

Shen Mu couldn't figure it out, and couldn't help asking: "Did the second brother explain to her for us?"

Song Shidao still looked forward with empty eyes, and said dreamily: "I explained to her once, but she didn't have a definite answer, only said to think about it for a few more days. Then she talked to me about her with great interest. My favorite is Lantian jade. This kind of beautiful jade is the king of jade. Its color is warm in winter and cool in summer. Its texture is clean and crisp. A woman with vision."

Shen Mu was surprised and said: "Hearing what the second brother said, you should have a very speculative conversation, why... hey... why..."

Song Shidao looked at Shen Mu as if he had discovered Shen Mu's existence for the first time, and said with a wry smile, "What's the use of speculation?"

Shen Mu didn't dare to ask directly, and said insinuatingly: "Second Brother Song is going to see her in his own identity, or in Shen Wenjiang's identity."

Song Shidao said: "Of course it's Song Shidao's true face, you don't want her to know about Situ Furong!"

Shen Mu sighed: "I can't help it! Why does Second Brother Song act like... Hey... as if he has lost the joy of life? Does she offend you by talking too much? She likes the flowers you gave her Cloth?"

Song Shidao stared at him for a long while, then shook his head sadly and said, "Xiao Zhong, you misunderstood! Not only did she appreciate the floral cloth I gave her very much, she also said that she would immediately sew a dress for me to wear, and when I left, she even asked me to tell her Have dinner with her tonight."

Shen Mu scratched his head in puzzlement and said, "Then where is the problem?"

Song Shidao smiled bitterly and said, "The problem is that I, Song Shidao, is the son of Heavenly Saber Song Que, and also the second brother of your young commander."

Shen Mu's heart was shocked, and he immediately understood.

Shang Xiuxun is the owner of the Pegasus Ranch, so the survival of the ranch must be considered first.According to the current development of the situation, the world is very likely to evolve into a situation where the north and the south face each other across the river.To the south of the great river is the world of Song Que and Shen Mu; to the north of the great river is the sphere of influence of the Li Clan Tang Dynasty.Assuming that Song Shidao and Shang Xiuxun had a good relationship, the Pegasus Ranch was located in the north of the river, and it would become a thorn in the side of the Li Clan, and it would be hard to escape the fate of being eradicated.

Song Shidao said dejectedly: "You finally understand!"

Shen Mu nodded helplessly, and said, "When did the second brother think of this question?"

Song Shidao replied: "When I mentioned you to her, she said that due to the situation, one day she will draw a clear line with you. She came to Chang'an today because the leadership of Pegasus Ranch decided to fight with the Li family. Fix it. The implication is that the misunderstanding with you because of Houhou is just a trivial matter. Only then did I realize that I am the son of Song Que, and it is not appropriate to associate with her, this relationship will only hurt her."

Shen Mu knew that there was one more thing on his mind, and it might be an unsolvable problem.He couldn't help but think of Li Jiancheng's interest in Shang Xiuxun. If Li Yuan personally proposes a marriage contract to Shang Xiuxun tomorrow night, will Shang Xiuxun wrong himself to agree to this political deal because of the future of Pegasus Ranch?That may be the true meaning behind the phrase "drawing a clear line" with the two.

Xu Ziling sat down on the edge of the bed, crossed his hands as a pillow, and Shen Mu, who was lying on his back, looked at him and sighed: "I have two problems that I want to share with you."

Xu Ziling smiled wryly and said, "Looking at the frowning look on your face, you must be full of real problems. Sigh! Problems? I can also give in."

Shen Mu sat up cross-legged, and said with a smile, "I said it first, so I have the priority. I never told you that I had a fight with Wan Wan last night."

Xu Ziling understood that he didn't want Hou Xibai to know about this matter, because he was related to Shi Zhixuan.Said: "How powerful is the Heavenly Demon Dafa that she has perfected her merits and virtues?"

Shen Mu said: "I haven't tried it clearly yet, but I have an extremely ominous feeling that her Heavenly Demon Dafa can just restrain my Eight Techniques in the Well, just like water can restrain fire, an unchangeable physical property."

Xu Ziling said: "The matter may not be so serious, because she understands our true qi based on longevity better than anyone else. How did you do it?"

Shen Mu said: "She forced me to do it, to prove that only her Heavenly Demon Field can trap Shi Zhixuan. Here lies the problem, should we cooperate with her or reject her. Today we must give her an affirmative answer, and time will not allow us drag it down."

Xu Ziling said: "Maybe it's because I've seen her cry miserably, and I feel that she is still a flesh and blood person. At this moment when she is besieged on all sides, we should help her for ourselves and others. But cooperation is the end of it." As for dealing with Shi Zhixuan, we will never interfere in her affairs again."

Shen Mu sighed: "You sympathize with her because you think that Shi Zhixuan is bullying the small by the big, but I have a feeling that Houhou is most likely another Shi Zhixuan. One day, no one in the world will be able to control her."

Xu Ziling stared at him for a while, and said, "Her performance last night must have left you with lingering fears, right?"

Shen Mu's eyes sparkled, and suddenly a smile escaped from the corner of his mouth, and he said: "It should be said that I am moved. Her flexible and ever-changing changes in the Heavenly Demon Field deeply moved me in my pursuit of martial arts, just like Shi Zhixuan's seal of immortality. Okay! Just cooperate with her according to your words, and take a big bet on his mother. If Shi Zhixuan fails to ambush, what should we do?"

Xu Ziling said in a deep voice: "Let's withdraw immediately and give up Situ Furong's plan, otherwise many people will be implicated, because we will arouse Shi Zhixuan's murderous intentions and use any means to deal with us. That's not a joke."

Shen Mu said: "The first difficult problem should be solved, and the other difficult problem may even be powerless for you."

Then he expressed Song Shidao's concerns.

Xu Ziling pondered for a moment, seeing Shen Mu staring at him blankly, he asked in surprise, "Why are you staring at me like this?"

Shen Mu said dejectedly: "I'm looking to see if you will take the opportunity to persuade me to give up fighting for world hegemony."

Xu Ziling said in a deep voice: "According to the current development, if you, Young Marshal Kou, give up the struggle for hegemony, Luoyang will surely fall. Song Que is so frustrated with you that he will ignore the matter of Zhongtu, and Li Yuan will recall Li Shimin to Chang'an. Li Yuanji will be in charge of the overall situation. Since Luoyang has the support of Guanzhong, Dou Jiande and Brother Liu will be defeated and win nothing. Bashu surrendered to Tang according to the agreement, and all the heroes in the world surrendered like dominoes or were defeated. In this case, Li Shimin will definitely be demonized. At that time, if the Tang Dynasty did not fall into the hands of the Demon Sect, it would be impossible to escape the fate of invasion and conquest by the allied forces outside the Great Wall."

Shen Mu said in shock: "It seems that you are officially supporting me for the first time in fighting for the unification of the world?"

Xu Ziling smiled wryly and said: "I'm judging from facts. I saw the situation where Li Yuan was exploited by Yin Zuwen of the Demon Sect to take advantage of his lustful weakness, and the situation where the Dugu Clan, Yuwen Clan and Li Clan were all in one. Wow, Li Shimin absolutely has no chance, and Feixuan's expectations are in vain. And as you said, it is impossible for Li Shimin to support himself under the army, and he is unwilling to do so."

Shen Mu said: "If I can really kill Li Xiaozi and defeat the Tang army, so what?"

Xu Ziling said: "The flames of war are ruthless. Either you kill me or I kill you. What can I say, little brother. But didn't you say that you only have the ambition to fight for the world and enjoy the process, but you have no interest in being an emperor?" Under the circumstances, you can let Li Shimin go, let him be the emperor in the future."

Shen Mu smiled wryly and said, "Telling it to you makes my heart itch. Frankly speaking, I have seen Li Yuan's pains in being an emperor, and I would be a fool to want to be an emperor, but it's a pity that we are just dreaming."
