Dressed as a tyrant and kissing the little queen

Chapter 334 Life and Death 1
"Zhai Mu." There was a bit of uncontrollable excitement in Zhan Shaogang's voice, "Your hands and feet are injured."

Zhai Mu was listening intently to the commotion outside, and made a gesture to signal him to keep quiet.

People from the imperial guards had come in to search for a round before, and they were investigating in the front yard at the moment, and the sound of harsh interrogation could be heard faintly.

After a while, the interrogation finally quieted down, and the searchers should have left.

Zhai Mu then answered Zhan Shaogang's previous question: "The injury is not healed."

If it weren't for the swiftness of that horse, he would have been unable to save Zhan Shaogang from danger.

"But your sword."

Zhan Shaogang didn't believe that Zhai Mu's left-handed sword was more refined than his original right-handed sword.

He used to refuse to think that his Ben Lei Sword was any worse than Zhai Mu.

But just now Zhai Mu had a left-handed sword, he was willing to admit defeat, and he was so convinced that he lost.

Zhai Mu finally turned his head and glanced at him, his expression still calm: "I forgot to tell you, my left-handed sword is always better than my right-handed sword."

Zhan Shaogang was stunned, a bit of ecstasy flashed in his eyes.

Zhai Mu can also use a sword.

He thought, Zhai Mu can still use a sword, that's great, that's great.

He suddenly realized a question: "Since you can use a sword, why did you allow those people to treat you like that? Why did you stay in a place like Duchunyuan?"

Zhai Mu's answer was extremely concise: "In the beginning, I had to, but later I made plans."

At the beginning, Fang Qian brought him back to Night City from Los Angeles, and threw him into Duchun Garden.

At that time, his injuries to his hands and feet hadn't fully healed, and the people in Duchunyuan had Fang Qian's order to guard him extremely strictly, so he had no choice but to stay here.

But he slowly discovered that there were many dignitaries of the imperial court visiting Duchun Garden from time to time, such as Zong Hao, commander of the imperial guards, Qi Zhao, the mausoleum of the Fourth Prince, and so on.

During the period when Ling Qizhao was dismissed, he lived in the mansion during the day, and everyone thought he was thinking about his mistakes behind closed doors.

However, at night, he secretly made friends with the officials here, wooed the relationship, and sought contacts and opportunities for his comeback.

Zhai Mu hibernated for so long because he wanted to catch Ling Qizhao.

Until he accidentally overheard a top-secret conspiracy.

Ling Qizhao set up an ambush on Lingjun's southern patrol road in an attempt to kill the king and stand on his own.

Then Zhai Mu hurried to find Zhan Shaogang.

Zhan Shaogang frowned slightly: "How do you know where I live? Have you followed me?"

Zhai Mu said calmly: "That's right. I probably know the addresses of important officials in the court."

However, he did not say that when he found out Zhan Shaogang's address, he was not an important official, but a little sergeant in the Imperial Guard who was not taken seriously and was ridiculed and looked down upon by his colleagues.

Zhan Shaogang stared at Zhai Mu for a moment: "You are from Daqin, why did you bear the burden of humiliation and stay in Duchunyuan to investigate Ling Qizhao's conspiracy?"

Zhai Mu said lightly: "The princess is kind to me. She desperately protected my left hand, and I can save you today."

Zhan Shaogang was startled, "You stayed in Duchunyuan just for your empress? How do you know that your empress will be in danger?"

Zhai Mu said: "I don't know, so I stayed here to find out."

Zhan Shaogang still refused to give up: "Then why did you inform me of Ling Qizhao's conspiracy as soon as possible?"

Zhai Mu said: "Probably, you are the only one I can find in time and save the princess?

A faint sense of disappointment flashed in Zhan Shaogang's eyes.

So, are all the things Zhai Mu did just for the princess?

After a moment of silence, Zhai Mu asked in a low voice, "What are you going to do now?"

"Your Majesty has been escorted by Jueying to leave Buyedu. I also sent someone to deliver a letter to the Xiaoqi Camp. It's just that the people in the Xiaoqi Camp may not believe me."

Mentioning the current situation, Zhan Shaogang's face became serious again.

"Ling Qizhao said that the emperor had been attacked and killed during his southern tour. He forcibly forced the prime minister, Huangfu Yan, to write the imperial edict. When I led people to rescue Prime Minister Huangfu, I was chased by Zong Hao."

"The imperial decree will probably be issued tomorrow. By then, the news of the emperor's death will spread throughout the country. I am afraid that Xiaoqiying will not dare to act rashly."

Buyedu is now under the control of the Imperial Guards, and there is no one other than the Xiaoqi Battalion who can fight against the Imperial Guards.

However, the life and death of the emperor is still unknown, but Ling Qizhao announced the news of the emperor's death, intending to ascend the throne and stand on his own.

Once Ling Qizhao really came to the throne, the emperor's situation would be very embarrassing, and Xiaoqiying would have to obey Ling Qizhao.

Zhan Shaogang had to rush to the Xiaoqi camp tonight, and no matter what, he had to meet the garrison general of the Xiaoqi camp.

Zhai Mu pondered for a moment, "I'm afraid it won't be easy to go out of the city tonight."

Zhan Shaogang said solemnly: "Even if it is a dragon's pond or a tiger's den, I have to go there."

"You don't have to force yourself."

Zhai Mu picked up a piece of firewood and drew a line on the ground, "There is a dark river every night."

The two looked at each other, and they both understood what was in their hearts.

That dark river is the only river that can lead to the outside of the city, but the entrance of the dark river is where the imperial guards are stationed, and it is heavily guarded.

But they have no choice tonight.

After a cup of tea.

The two had already appeared near the garrison at the entrance of the dark river, and the soldiers of the Imperial Guard were patrolling back and forth.

Zhai Mu said in a low voice: "I'll lure them away. You take advantage of the chaos and enter the river."

Zhan Shaogang grabbed Zhai Mu, took out his badge of deputy commander of the imperial guards from his arms, and stuffed it into his hand.

"Jueying said that he would escort the empress to the Hermitage of Jiyu Mountain. You take my token to find Jueying, and let Jueying go to Xiaoqi Camp to deliver the message, and you stay in the hermitage to protect the empress."

He looked deeply at Zhai Mu, and said calmly, "I'm not good at swimming, I'll lure them away."

In the dim light, the two looked at each other silently.

Zhai Mu said softly: "You asked me earlier why you stayed in Duchun Garden."

Zhan Shaogang: "You say, for your empress."

Zhai Mu: "That's right. But the empress is out of danger, I could have done it, I don't have to come forward to save you."

He didn't avoid Zhan Shaogang's scorching gaze, but fixed his gaze on him: "If I want to leave, I can leave at any time. People in Duchunyuan can't stop me at all."

Zhan Shaogang's heart skipped a beat: "So you stay"

"It's for you."

Zhai Mu's voice was clear and firm, each word was like beating a drum, hitting Zhan Shaogang's heart heavily, "Zhan Shaogang, I want you to live. I want you to live and return to Xiaoqi camp."

On the night when the news of the great victory in the Northland came, Zhan Shaogang spent the night drinking in the courtyard.

Zhai Mu watched him silently all night outside the wall.

Zhai Mu knew that he wanted to go back to Xiaoqi Camp.

It was where his blood was tied all his life.

Zhan Shaogang lost his position in the Xiaoqi Battalion because of Zhai Mu, so Zhai Mu wanted to help him go back at all costs.

Dormant across the spring garden, enduring the unbearable humiliation.

However, it was just to find an opportunity to help Zhan Shaogang return to the Xiaoqi camp.

If he can stop Ling Qizhao's rebellion this time, Zhan Shaogang will have made a great contribution.

If he proposes to return to the Xiaoqi camp, Ling Junxing will definitely not refuse.
