Swallowing the Emperor

Chapter 473
The room fell silent for an instant.

Mo Qingshan said: "The poison of the Heavenly Demon Palace is not so easy to cure. Judging from the symptoms mentioned by Brother Qilin, it is likely to be one of the three most poisonous poisons of the Heavenly Demon Palace. This is the unique secret medicine of the Heavenly Demon Palace. Get the prescription for refining the antidote, otherwise, even if we get the antidote, we will not be able to make it."

Everyone's expressions dimmed immediately. The Heavenly Demon Palace is the top power in the Eight Desolation. Whether it is refining medicine or refining weapons, it is one or even several levels higher than the sects in the lower reaches of the Jinsha River. How difficult is it to crack their poison? I can figure it out with my toes.

Lu Qilin said proudly: "The big deal is death. I used to be afraid of death, but now I'm not afraid of anything. You don't need to worry about me."

Mo Lin thought for a while and asked, "Uncle Qilin, did you send the news that my father was caught by you to the Heavenly Demon Palace?"

Lu Qilin said: "Not yet, I was planning to deliver it in two days, but you came here."

"Then how do you contact them? Are they looking for you, or are you looking for them?"

"They come to me. Every three months on the first day of the new year, they will come to my mansion. Counting, ten days will be the first day of the new year. They should come soon. If it wasn't for waiting for the medicine, I might have already Take people out."

"That's good. We still have time. When the people from Tianmo Palace come to you, you use the expedition as an excuse to see if you can ask for a few more antidotes. No matter whether you can successfully refine it or not, we will always try."

……

……

Outside Jiuyou Pass, 60 northern barbarian troops had gathered, and in the distance, more northern barbarian troops rushed in like a tide, and the war broke out at any time.

On the city wall, Mu Hongwu looked indifferently at the northern barbarian tents that could not be seen in the distance.

The Flame Legion and the soldiers guarding the city are waiting in full battle. The swords are unsheathed, the bows and crossbows are stringed, and the giant crossbow catapults used to defend the city are also ready. Buckets of kerosene are being carried from the cellar to the city wall. Rolling logs and rocks are piled up like hills. Similarly, as long as the northern barbarians attack the city, these defensive weapons alone can deal a major blow to them.

"General, a group of black-armored iron guards from the imperial city were found [-] miles south of the city. The target seems to be our Jiuyou Pass."

A scout hurriedly boarded the city wall and reported loudly.

Mu Hongwu narrowed his eyes and looked at Liang Zhen, "It's finally here, let's go and have a look."

The number of black-armored iron guards from the imperial city is about 300 people. The leader is a middle-aged general in armor and armor, and there are more than a dozen lieutenants accompanying him.

"Brother Ning Yu?"

The middle-aged military general Mu Hongwu is no stranger to him. He is the deputy commander in charge of Hongdu's 40 city defense force, He Ningyu.

"Brother Mu, I haven't seen you for many years, but I really miss my brother."

He Ningyu jumped off his horse, smiled heartily, and warmly greeted him. Mu Hongwu also stepped forward with a smile on his face, holding his two big hands tightly together.

Mu Hongwu and He Ningyu are definitely old friends. They joined the army in the same year and were assigned to the same barracks. They fought side by side and formed a deep friendship. They are not brothers, but brothers. Later, Mu Hongwu became the commander of Jiuyouguan, and He Ningyu was summoned by his family, returned to the imperial city to become an official, and became the deputy commander of the imperial city's city defense forces. In the past few years, the two have not broken off. Correspondence.

"Shouwu met Uncle Mu."

A young and unrestrained figure walked forward and saluted Mu Hongwu. It was He Ningyu's son Polygonum multiflorum.

"Ah, Shouwu is here too? Well, I heard that you have entered Xiaoyao Holy Academy, and your cultivation has improved rapidly in the past two years. It is said that you have become a teacher of the Holy Academy?" Mu Hongwu looked at Polygonum multiflorum with a smile, and praised road.

He Shouwu's eyes flashed with pride, and she pretended to be surprised: "Uncle Mu also heard about it? It seems that you are still very concerned about your nephew."

Mu Hongwu smiled and said, "Your father mentions you every time in his letters. I don't think it's hard to know. Come on, let's go to town if we have something to say. We haven't seen each other for two years? We need to have a good drink."

The group entered Jiuyou Pass talking and laughing, and Mu Hongwu ordered a banquet to entertain He Ningyu, father and son and the accompanying generals.

The food and drink were ready soon, He Shouwu looked around and asked, "Uncle Mu, where did Yaoyao go? Why didn't you see her?"

Mu Hongwu's eyes darkened, he sighed, and said: "This girl is becoming more and more disobedient now, she has somehow become interested in that Mo Lin since she came back from the treasure hunt, she should still be in Chang'an City now, even I I don’t even want this father anymore, she really doesn’t want to stay in a female university, Shouwu, if you have time to look for her, she is the only one who can listen to you.”

The cold light in He Shou Wu's eyes flashed away, and he said with a smirk: "Uncle Mu, the matter between Yaoyao and me, but you overdid it at that time, I don't know if the marriage contract counts?"

Mu Hongwu seemed to have expected He Shouwu's question a long time ago, and just as he was about to answer, Liang Zhen interjected first: "Master He, I am a witness to your marriage with Miss, so how can it not be counted? The general wants to rely on it." not drop."

"Hahaha, what General Liang said is good, I love to hear it." Polygonum multiflorum laughed.

Liang Zhen's expression did not change, and he continued: "However, the general also said just now that he can't control the young lady. You also know that the young lady's mother passed away early, and the general always felt sorry for her, so he was obedient to her and answered her every request. , I don’t dare to control it too much, don’t worry, the marriage with the He family, the general and all the generals in Jiuyou Pass are in favor of it, it depends on whether you can win the heart of the young lady.”

The meaning in Liang Zhen's words is obvious, we support you, that is, what we say doesn't count, if you want to get Mu Yao, it depends on whether you have the ability.

He Shouwu hated secretly, but He Ningyu laughed, looked at his son, and said, "Shouwu, I told you that Uncle Mu would never forget the marriage contract back then, how about it? Believe it now? When you return to the imperial city, When you see Yaoyao, tell her what Uncle Mu and General Liang mean, and she will definitely agree."

He Shouwu thought about his plan to come to Jiuyouguan this time and what might happen next, so he relaxed, laughed, and stopped talking.

Pushing a cup and changing a cup, after drinking for three rounds, Mu Hongwu asked: "Brother Ning Yu, you came to Jiuyouguan this time, isn't it just to see my attitude towards Yaoyao and Shouwu's marriage? ? If you have anything to say, you can speak directly."

He Ningyu put down his wine glass, wondering: "Brother, my brother really has something important to do this time, but I just don't know how to say it."

"Brother Ning Yu, it's okay to say."

"I'm here to preach."

He Ningyu's face gradually became serious.
