Chapter 29

The green bamboo leaves are covered with thick unmelted snow.Just look at the whole quiet environment, as if you are in the Xia Zhuxuan of Zhumo.However, one only needs to take a close look at the color of the bamboo body, and one can tell that this bamboo forest is not that bamboo forest.

Zhumo's residence is secluded and green, and except for a pavilion made of bamboo strips, there are no other courtyard connections, halls, terraces and waterside pavilions.In the pavilion, in the quiet forest, there is a qin platform, a lyre, and a stone pier.

In the elegant snow forest, Zhumo Linfeng sat with his back to the pavilion, stretched out his hand, and twirled a string with his slender and clean fingers.Tuning, and then walking on the strings with the fingertips familiarly, the sound of the piano like a trickle, like a falling needle, like a gentle breeze, like flowing water flows in the forest.

Look at that robe fluttering in the wind, look at that handsome like a jade tree facing the wind, this is a good wind god refined from vulgarity.Once again, the sound of nature from high mountains and flowing water, seeing the person and hearing the sound, can already teach you to stop for three days without knowing it, and the lingering sound will linger for several hours.

Whether this situation is a painting or a reality, it is impossible to tell the difference.Can't tell the difference either.

At the entrance of the forest, Chu Tianqin and Zhuxuan couldn't help taking a deep breath.I stopped and didn't move forward, lest I get my hands on the painting in front of me, lest the "creaking" sound after stepping on the snow would disturb the sound of the piano.

"Zheng!"

The strings are broken!
There is a saying in ancient times that when a luthier plays the piano, if there is an uninvited eavesdropper, the strings will break automatically.It turns out that this is not a legend, it is true.After the last lingering sound of the lyre dissipated, Zhumo smiled slightly.

Zhu Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, Chu Tian and Qin Lue hesitated, and walked over.Zhu Xuan followed closely behind, and the guards behind him followed closely after seeing this.

"Mr. Zhumo is very elegant." Chu Tianqin praised.

Zhu Mo got up and bowed. "It's polite."

Zhuxuan was satisfied that Zhumo arrived here as promised, turned to Chutian Qin and said with a smile: "Second brother and minister are brothers born of the same mother, Your Highness does not need to be polite to second brother."

The words of getting closer reminded Chu Tianqin, Chu Tianqin smiled and said: "Yes, Concubine Zhuang and Concubine Zi are still concubines of this palace." The color is an imperceptible gloomy.After speaking, he sat down on the bamboo chair under the pavilion.

Zhu Xuan suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a bit weird, but he couldn't tell where the weirdness was.This purple bamboo forest was originally the territory of the Third Highness Chu Tianqin. Unexpectedly, before he and Chutian Qin arrived, Zhu Mo had already sat there leisurely playing the piano. It seems that Zhu Mo proposed today's appointment. The owner of this mansion It's like bamboo ink.

This anti-client move faintly made Zhu Xuan uneasy.It seems that the motive for inviting Zhumo to come here today—to let Zhumo assist Chu Tianqin to win the great country will fail, and it will make Chu Tianqin disappointed in him as a counselor.

Coughing, Zhuxuan said straight to the point: "Now the situation is tight, it's really inappropriate to beat around the bush. Second brother, what do you think about the elder brother's proposal?" Zhumo didn't break the appointment today, Zhuxuan generally has a bottom line in his heart.It's just a superficial effort, a routine question.

Although Chu Tianqin didn't speak, his playful eyes were looking at Zhumo for a moment.

Zhumo smiled, sat down, flicked his fingers on the remaining six strings, and the strings immediately issued a chaotic tone.Sighing slightly, he said in a thoughtful tone: "This string is broken, can the lyre still be played?"

"The lyre is no better than the huqin, there are only six strings left, so naturally it can't be played into a tune." Zhu Xuan answered this idiot's question, and really couldn't figure out what Zhu Mo was thinking at the moment.The tone was a bit forceful, thinking that Zhu Mo could not disregard Mo Yan's life, he felt more relaxed.

Zhu Mo smiled, that smile is obviously bright and incomparable, the white snow, the blood plum blossoms in Yangchun in March stand alone in the cold spring scenery will be pale.The moment Zhuxuan and Chu Tianqin stared blankly, they suddenly saw the evil beauty in that gorgeous smile, which was completely opposite to Zhumo's usual elegant expression.

After laughing, Zhu Mo looked at Chu Tianqin's dazed face for a while, and said, "What is the third Highness's intention in the struggle for imperial power?"

Chutian and Qin were slightly stunned, Zhu Xuan said happily, "Did the second brother agree?"

Zhu Mo didn't go to see Zhuxuan, but waited for Chu Tianqin's answer.Chu Tianqin flashed a clear smile and said, "It seems that your sister's life is more important than anything else in your heart."

Zhumo smiled and took a sip of Niancha, "As long as Big Brother fulfills your promise."

Zhu Xuan replied: "As a big brother, you will never lose your word. After returning home, he will detoxify Fifth Younger Sister."

After the three people make eye contact, it is considered a deal.Chu Tian and Qin Fang explained: "Uncle, mother concubine, and the influence that I have cultivated over the years can compete with my fourth brother. Now that you have the son to help, I feel very relieved."

Zhu Mo said: "His Royal Highness has missed someone. His Royal Highness is the eldest son, and he is also a descendant. In this palace change, he does not need to win over, he has already gained the upper hand. After the Third Highness and the Fourth Highness fought brotherly, the prince who benefited, But there are many. For example, the eldest prince who seems mediocre and incompetent, the fifth and sixth princes who hang around Huajie Liuxiang, or... the second prince who has disappeared for 20 years."

"Hmph!" Chu Tianqin sneered, "Although the eldest prince is under the care of the empress, how can he wait to steer the helm when the embankment breaks? The fifth and sixth younger brothers have long been nothing in the heart of the father, and they are notorious in the court." ; My second brother, whether he is alive or not is unpredictable, so how can he participate in power seeking."

Zhu Xuan interjected: "Your Highness, if the Second Highness is still alive, you are better than the Fourth Highness in terms of benefits. The Second Highness and you are both born of Defei, and compared to the Fourth Highness, the relationship is even better. Even if the second Your Highness, sit firmly on the dragon chair, and you will also be a majestic prince in the future."

Bamboo ink twist tea in hand, smiling.

"Second brother...he can't be alive!" Chu Tianqin murmured softly.

"Nothing in the world is absolute." Seemingly unintentional, but also intentional, Zhu Mo gently sipped the tea.

Chu Tianqin said: "Back then I killed my second brother with my own hands and buried his bones, how could he still be alive!"

After hearing this, Zhu Xuan and the close bodyguards were startled, and then returned to normal.Chu Tianqin said this secret, not because he didn't think carefully about things, but he did a lot of bloody things, so when such words came out of his mouth, he was less surprised.

Zhu Xuan especially knew in his heart that Chu Tianqin would tell about the secret murder of the prince at this time because he planned to completely break with Chu Chenyi and fight for power and position.It is also tearing up, and I am not afraid of leaking the secrets of what happened 20 years ago.It is also intended to remind Zhumo and the dead around him that he can kill even his second brother born of the same mother, let alone Chu Chenyi who was born of his half mother!
Zhumo drank tea and said nothing.

After Chu Tianqin uttered these words, the people around him were extra cautious, even Zhu Xuan was momentarily terrified.

As if to ease the atmosphere, Chu Tianqin said with a smile: "My lord, don't worry about it. Since you are my ally, you are my real own person. I can be sorry to anyone. From the perspective of interests, I will never be sorry. own allies."

Zhu Mo smiled half-jokingly and half-teasingly: "Your Highness is really honest, such an 'ally' wins brothers and sisters."

"Heh." Chu Tianqin smiled in agreement.

"Seeing His Highness being so honest, I'm really ashamed." With a modest smile, Zhu Mo looked at Chu Tianqin, and said calmly, "Does Your Highness know that I am also surnamed Chu?"

Everyone was dumbfounded, especially Zhu Xuan looked at Zhu Mo in disbelief, "Haha, the second brother made an exception today and made a joke, it seems that he is in a really good mood..."

Chu Tianqin didn't smile, as if he was stung somewhere in his heart. The 'Chu' surname was the imperial surname in the Liyue Dynasty. However, apart from the royal family, the Liyue Dynasty has a history of thousands of years and has been reproduced generation by generation. Although there are not many 'Chu' surnames in other branches, they are not counted among the people. strange.Thinking of this, Chu Tianqin said calmly: "The young master is also surnamed Chu?

Zhu Mo said: "Yes, the surname is Chu, and the single name has the word '刖'. Your Highness should not feel unfamiliar."

"Chu...刖?!" Chu Tian and Qin Xu stood up, "You are my second brother?!"

As soon as Chu Tianqin's exclamation fell, the guards around him had raised their swords and surrounded Zhumo's body heavily.Just now Chu Tianqin said in front of everyone that he killed the second prince. If Zhumo wants to fight for the throne, once this matter is exposed, not only will he lose his future, but he will even be killed.

As soon as the master loses power, one can imagine the fate of the followers. The guards, who are very good at observing words and expressions, have already pointed their long swords at Zhu Mo, and they will start killing when Chu Tianqin gives an order.

"This...how is this possible, it must be a mistake, the second brother must be talking nonsense..." Zhu Xuan stopped in front of Chu Tianqin, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, please be safe and don't be impatient." Smiling calmly, Zhu Xuan also dubiously believed Zhu Mo's words, and was quickly calculating in his heart. Zhu Mo and himself had a brotherhood for 20 years. If Zhu Mo was really the second prince, he should join Zhu Mo's command, or Continue to work for the third prince?
Zhu Mo stood up, slightly tore off the clothes on his shoulders, and the totem of Liyue appeared in front of everyone. Chu Tianqin was shocked, "It's really you... 20 years ago, when you were four years old, I was only two years old. Clearly killed you with a sword, and buried you in the wild forest. Even last year, I went to the deserted forest to pay homage to you, and personally inspected your bones, you..."

Zhu Mo smiled, "The bones belong to someone else, I don't die so easily."

Zhu Xuan tremblingly said: "Could it be that... that corpse belongs to my second brother?"

Zhu Mo said: "It's the bones of Brother Ling... the second son of Lord Minister."

"You killed my second brother..." Turning to Chu Tianqin, Zhu Xuan couldn't tell his position for a moment.

Zhu Mo said: "Lingge didn't kill him. Lingdi just died of illness at that time, and the minister was afraid that Mrs. Hua would be sad, so he buried him alone. But it happened that I was dying in the dust. When I first saw me, the minister My lord already knows my identity, and also guessed my situation. Young Master Ling just died of illness, and no one else knows, so..."

"Haha..." Chu Tianqin, who has always appeared gentle, laughed, "So, my lord minister exchanged a civet cat for the prince, and adopted you, the second elder brother. In order to save the grief of the minister's wife, he also adopted the prince. No matter what kind of official luck it is in the future, he has your trump card in his hand. When he plays at a critical moment, his official luck can be guaranteed! Haha, I remember the day before you and I went out of the palace to kill you. When the time comes, the ministers and the emperor are discussing about making you the crown prince."

Zhu Xuan was shocked. At that time... At that time, Chu Tianqin was only two years old. A two-year-old child had such a scheming heart!
Looking at Chu Tianqin, Zhu Mo smiled and said nothing, he couldn't see that he cared about Chutian Qin Mi killing him 20 years ago.

"What are you standing there for?" Chutian and Qin said loudly, "You haven't taken this man who claims to be the prince to me!"

Claiming to be a prince?Although all the guards knew Zhu Mo's true identity, none of them dared to disobey Chu Tianqin's order. Seeing the guards raised their swords to be stabbed, Zhu Mo smiled and said, "Third brother, do you really want to kill each other?"

Chu Tianqin said: "Kill!"

With a sound of "Hoo!", dozens of gray-clothed men wearing bamboo hats fell from under the snow-covered purple bamboo, and all of them held cold three-foot long swords, "Anyone who dares to offend the Second Highness will be killed without mercy!"

Seeing Zhumo's bodyguards coming here, Chu Tianqin took a step back, his face full of fear, but it wasn't because he was frightened by Zhumo's entourage, but... Seeing the costumes of dozens of people, Chu Tianqin said in disbelief: "Black Eagle... it's Black Eagle... Liyue and the Black Eagle of the rivers and lakes organization of the surrounding four countries, you are actually the master of the Black Eagle Palace!"

Black Eagle Palace, a secret organization that suddenly appeared in the rivers and lakes ten years ago, no one knows where its mansion is, no one knows what kind of organization that organization is, only the general attire of the people in Black Eagle Palace is known.It is rumored that the master of the Black Eagle Palace is young and handsome, with radiant splendor; it is rumored that the master of the Black Eagle Palace has peerless martial arts skills, unfathomable, yet gentle; while the servants of the Black Eagle Palace are all vicious and possess unique skills; rumors... …

Rumors, many rumors, tired of hearing, tired of hearing, but never imagined that people from Black Eagle Palace would show up here today because of the brother-in-law incident.

The palace guards didn't think of it, Zhu Xuan didn't think of it, and Chu Tianqin didn't think of it either.They haven't even woken up from the fact that Zhu Mo is the second prince.

People who were equally shocked, besides the people in the Zizhu Forest, were also those who sat on horseback and watched the show at the entrance of the Zizhu Forest.

Originally, he planned to continue watching the play, but when the people from the Black Eagle Palace appeared, Chu Chenyi knew that he could not delay any longer.Hearing the sound of horseshoes of the military troops coming from the Minister's Mansion from a distance, Chu Chenyi shouted: "Surround the purple bamboo forest, and anyone who wants to break out of the encirclement will be killed without mercy!"

Hmph, no matter whether Zhu Mo minds or not, Chu Tianqin killed him 20 years ago, and now he is going to kill him again, Chu Chenyi knows that Zhu Mo and Chu Tianqin, he can't keep them, they are always the same mother. Brother!Even if he is not a brother, he is still the direct enemy of his heir to the throne!Today, they must not be allowed to leave this place alive!

Guessing what Chu Chenyi was thinking, almost at the same time as Chu Chenyi gave the order to the troops of the Ministry of War that came behind him, Mo Yan yelled, "Second brother, leave quickly, Chu Chenyi will kill you!"

Yaner?

Seeing Chu Chenyi and Mo Yan sitting on the horse five feet away, Zhu Mo ignored Chu Chenyi's existence, and only smiled slightly at Mo Yan who was sitting on the horse.

"Second brother, go away, Chu Chenyi is going to kill you, you go away..."

Zhu Mo is really the second prince, really... Although he already knew this fact outside Zhenlong Temple, seeing Zhu Mo admit it in front of Chu Tianqin just now, Mo Yan's heart is still sore and sad.

Second brother, Zhumo...Zhumo, you have revealed your identity, do you also want to get involved in court disputes?Second brother, you also want to fight for power, do you want to be emperor?Second brother, you are so pure-hearted and ascetic, do you want to be emperor too?Second brother...

Originally, I wanted to ask Zhu Mo a thousand words, but at this moment, what Mo Yan cares about is that Zhu Mo can live, and can survive among the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses that Chu Chenyi called...

As long as you are alive, everything is fine.

"Second brother, he wants to kill you..." Chu Chenyi wants to kill you, why are you still standing there!
Chu Chenyi's complexion was even uglier than overwhelming, he pulled Mo Yan's body in front of him with a full face of anger, and roared: "You find out the situation for me, I am the one you want to marry, who are you protecting now?" ?”

Damn woman, doesn't she care about him at all?Zhu Mo is the lord of the Black Eagle Palace, he is the lord of the Black Eagle Palace!Damn woman, she never thought about the peerless martial arts of the people in the Black Eagle Palace. It would be easy for the people in the Black Eagle Palace to take his life. Did she care about him? ? ?

"Hang!" Mo Yan tried hard to break free from Chu Chenyi's restraint, "You are shameless, you want to be the emperor, you want to kill the second brother, and you are still blaming me here? Let go, let go..."

Chu Chenyi shoved Mo Yan's body, "Listen clearly, the Emperor's Road has been paved with blood since ancient times. If I don't kill Boren, Boren will kill me. I won't commit suicide with my brother , can’t prevent them from killing me! Today, either I die or they die!”

"It doesn't matter..." Mo Yan pushed Chu Chenyi, "I don't care who you kill, you can't kill my second brother!"

What big brother, third prince, what kind of family relationship and national society?She didn't care, she was just a little girl, she didn't belong here in the first place, and she had no kinship with the family here.She was originally a selfish person, she could touch anyone, but she couldn't kill the person she loved, couldn't kill Zhumo, couldn't...

"Damn woman!" Chu Chenyi cursed uncontrollably, and Mo Yan wanted to slide off the horse desperately.The armies and guards of the two sides have not yet fought, but the two immediately are already incompatible.

Zhu Mo frowned slightly, Li He noticed it, and flew away with the sword, the five-foot soft sword was like a ribbon, and snatched Mo Yan over.

"Yan'er..." Chu Chenyi roared angrily.

"Second Brother." Mo Yan ran over under Zhu Mo's smile.

Dead woman!Chu Chenyi clenched his fists. Seeing that Chu Chenyi was furious, Xuanji and Fengji dared not speak. Chu Chenyi said angrily, "What are you waiting for? Archers, get ready!"

"Yes!"

Mo Yan tugged at Zhumo's clothes, and asked, "Second Brother, he wants to shoot an arrow."

Her worry now can be regarded as pretending to be angry with someone, heh, although she thought that Chu Chenyi held a heavy army, and Zhumo and Chu Tianqin had only a few hundred people, and the power was very different, but looking at Zhumo's With a smile, Mo Yan felt at ease a long time ago.

Yes, yes, did you hear about the Black Eagle Palace just now?Although he didn't hope that the people of the Black Eagle Palace could stand out from the siege of Chu Chenyi's tens of thousands of soldiers, Mo Yan didn't have much fear in his heart.Let's die together with Zhu Mo, let's see if Chu Chenyi will shoot arrows at them.

I remember that the surname Chu said to her 'she is here, he is here', hum, see if she was shot to death by him, will he die for love?To use this to expose his unspoken vows.Even if she died, it was just right.Just like what the master in Zhenlong Temple said, if she dies, she can travel back to the 21st century.

The only regret is that I didn't go to the Black Eagle Palace in Zhumo.

Why didn't Zhu Mo respond when he heard that Chu Chenyi was going to shoot an arrow?Unwilling to give up, Mo Yan tugged at Zhumo's clothes again, "Second Brother, he is going to shoot an arrow."

Zhu Mo laughed and said, "He won't really shoot an arrow."

Mo Yan said anxiously: "He can do what he says." Second brother, Chu Chenyi is not a good person.

Zhu Mo said with a modest smile: "He won't really give the order... He's afraid he might hurt you by mistake."
