Chapter 124

It was a starless and moonless night, the night wind rustled the leaves, and there was a shower of rain from time to time, it was really not a suitable weather for traveling.

"Why do you have to choose this kind of weather to visit the village?" Murong Zi followed Mei Junhan over a roof, and cursed with gritted teeth.

Although the tight clothing is waterproof, it is not comfortable to hang wet hair on the body.

As soon as she arrived in Nanjun, she really saw Mei Junhan, but before she could say a few words, she was taken by him to be a thief.

"Aren't you very smart? The wind can cover up the sound, and the rain can erase the traces." Mei Junhan said indifferently, "Be careful, I came here once two days ago and almost capsized in the gutter."

"Are there any masters?" Murong Zi's heart trembled.

"Not only are there experts, but the organ formation here is also very powerful." Mei Junhan warned.

"En." Murong Zi agreed, and said again, "Are you sure this is the stronghold of the Phantom Sect? Even I have messed with them for half my life without even realizing it."

"Although it's just a guess, I'm [-]% sure." Mei Junhan said in a deep voice, "And there is definitely a shadow of the Phantom Gate behind this embankment."

"Combined with the madness of the flames last time, it seems that there is no doubt that the Phantom Gate and King An colluded." Murong Zi sighed, "I just don't know what role the so-called blood of the Holy Emperor played in it? It stands to reason that she should be at odds with Wang An."

"Go in and take a look, maybe you can find the answer." Mei Junhan said with a blank expression.

"Be careful." Murong Zi followed his example and took out a cloth towel to cover his face.

After all, the owner of Luoxia Mountain Villa they are going to visit is a descendant of the founding meritorious service. He has lived here in seclusion for generations, and his favor is not fading.If someone finds out their identity, it may cause big trouble.

"Let's go!" Mei Junhan greeted, and rushed under the beam of the main hall first.

"But having said that, the security here seems to be too lax? It's not as dangerous as you said." Murong Zi followed after him, wondering, "Could it be that the guards have gone in to shelter from the rain?"

"My Xuanming Palace's guards are even more lax, and I can't even see a single person when I enter my bedroom." Mei Junhan said.

"Xuanming Palace has been passed down for hundreds of years, and the organ formations inside are so powerful that they don't need to be guarded." Murong Zi praised.

"It's a pity that most of the formation methods have been lost, and they can only be used now," Mei Junhan said.

"Is there such a thing here?" Murong Zi turned her head and asked.

"Within sight, definitely not!" Mei Junhan replied without hesitation.

"It's really weird." Murong Zi pondered, "This formation is a bit like..."

"Please enter the urn," Mei Junhan continued.

"What should we do?" Murong Zi asked.

"If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you catch tiger cubs." Mei Jun smiled coldly.

"I would risk my life to accompany a gentleman." Murong Zi smiled wryly. Anyway, judging by his attitude, she would never look back. She understood Mei Junhan's position in Su Hailing's heart, how dare he let him take risks alone?

"Go to the main house first." Mei Junhan said, looking around, and quickly determined the direction, "According to my last investigation, the main house should be there."

"Okay." Murong Zi nodded.

Taking advantage of the cover of night to sneak into the manor, Mei Junhan still followed the route he passed last time to the main house.

Murong Zi saw that there was no one around, pushed open the door of the study, and quickly entered.

However, all the tables, chairs and utensils in the room are covered with a layer of dust, obviously it has not been cleaned for a long time.

"It seems that when I came last time, the master had already left Luoxia Villa and never came back." After Mei Junhan made sure that no one had noticed them, she followed in and closed the door behind her.

"But the servants in the village are still there. Since she doesn't let the servants clean the study, there must be some secret hidden here." Murong Zi nodded.

The two looked at each other, and separated tacitly to find the agency.

The defense of Xuanming Palace is mainly based on mechanisms and arrays. Although Mei Junhan's understanding of mechanism information is far inferior to that of Mu Qingchen, his vision is still sharp, and he soon found a copper lion decoration on the bookcase. It is very smooth, as if it is often touched by someone, and it can't help but smile.

Sure enough, as soon as the copper lion was turned, the bookcase slid open silently, revealing an entrance that could allow two people to pass side by side.

The stone steps extend downwards, and the inside is pitch black with no bottom to be seen, as if leading to the end of hell.

Murong Zi came behind him and whistled softly.

Do you want to go in?Murong Zi turned her head and asked with her eyes.

nonsense!Mei Junhan gave her a blank stare.

"You stay here, I'll go down. In case something happens, someone will rescue you." Murong Zi said.

"No need, I don't know what's going on down here, it's even more dangerous if the power is dispersed." Mei Junhan shook his head and said, "Besides, to be honest, I don't believe you."

"It's really straightforward." Murong Zi smiled wryly and touched her nose.

"Show courtesy for nothing, rape or steal! You help Hailing, what exactly do you want?" Mei Junhan ignored her, walked down first, and said, "Don't tell me about the holy emperor and the blood oath." Come on, I don't believe you don't have desires!"

"Maybe." After a while, Murong Zi sighed softly, and then smiled again, "But at least our current goals are the same, you don't have to be so guarded against me all the time, save more energy to deal with our opponents."

Mei Junhan glanced at her, didn't speak, and just walked away.

But after more than ten steps, there is no light in sight.

Mei Junhan waved her hand and lit a fire pleat.

"What a huge project!" Murong Zi couldn't help admiring, "I guess we have already gone deep into the ground now! I don't know how much painstaking effort it took to excavate this place in Luoxia Mountain Villa."

"At the beginning, this tunnel should be the escape route left by the first generation owner of Luoxia Villa for future generations." Mei Junhan said.

"Escape?" Murong Zi was startled.

"The meritorious service shakes the master, and all the birds are hidden in the bow." Mei Junhan replied.

"Aren't you afraid that His Majesty will know?" Murong Zi frowned.

"She won't." Mei Junhan replied without hesitation.

"How do you know?" Murong Zi raised an eyebrow, "Emperors have been selfless since ancient times, no matter what she was like in the past, once she sits in this position, there are some things that she can't help herself."

"Hailing said it." Mei Junhan said with a hint of a smile in her tone, "She said, if you hate this world, then when you are weak, try to learn to adapt to him, slowly accumulate strength, and wait for the day Use your power to change the world and make the world adapt to you."

"She...is a very different person." After a while, Murong Zi said.

While speaking, the stone steps have come to an end.

However, to their great disappointment, although there is indeed an unusually spacious space hidden underground, there is nothing at all except for some wooden shelves placed here and there!

"How could this be?" Mei Junhan couldn't help frowning.

Murong Zi's complexion suddenly darkened the moment he saw those wooden shelves.

"What's wrong?" Mei Junhan turned his head and asked.

Murong Zi stepped forward to check a wooden shelf, then turned around and said, "If I'm not mistaken, these were originally used to store weapons. I saw a lot of them in the school ground where General Lan trained."

Mei Junhan's heart sank when he heard the words, and he understood that Murong Zi would never make fun of such things.weapons...

"Look at this, the weapons in stock can at least equip an elite army of 5000 people!" Murong Zi estimated in his heart, and then said.

"5000 people are not enough to rebel, but it is enough to cause internal chaos in Dayong." Mei Junhan sighed deeply.

"Well, since the army is involved, this matter is no small matter, I must return to Beijing immediately." Murong Zi said decisively.

"Get out of here first." Mei Junhan said.

Murong Zi nodded, before he could speak, a gloomy sneer came from the entrance: "Since you're here, there's no need to go back!"

Mei Junhan yelled inwardly that she was not good, and suddenly turned around, only to see a middle-aged woman with long hair and white gown, dressed in dust but not concealing her beauty, walked in surrounded by a group of guards.

Murong Zi took a step forward and came to Mei Junhan's side, holding the hilt of the sword with her hand.If it wasn't for being too shocked just now, it shouldn't be until now that someone came.

"You are the owner of this generation of Luoxia Mountain Villa, Feng Wu." Mei Jun said coldly, "Or should I call you the Master of the Phantom Sect? It's been a long time."

"You said she is the master of the Phantom Shadow Sect?" Murong Zi asked in surprise.

Mei Junhan didn't answer, just looked at the woman coldly.

"Good eyesight, even Murong has worked with me for many years, but he didn't recognize it." Feng Wu said, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes.

"I'm sorry, I have the ability to never forget. No matter how you change your voice, as long as I hear it once, I will never forget it." Mei Junhan said indifferently.

"Hehe... I am honored to see two old friends today, and I am very pleased. Please stay in Luoxia Villa for a few more days, so that I can show my gratitude to you as a landlord." Feng Wu smiled gently, as if she was really talking to her. Greetings from long-lost friends.

"I'm just curious. Feng Ling, the first generation master of Luoxia Villa, was Su Qing's favorite general. He made great military exploits and was given the surname 'Feng'. Why did he become the master of Phantom Shadow and serve the Holy Emperor?" Mei Jun cold road.

"It's very simple, because the ancestors made a blood oath with the Holy Emperor." Feng Wu said with a smile, "But Su Qing didn't know that the general she trusted the most was just Su Jie's confidant."

Mei Junhan and Murong Zi glanced at each other, then suddenly drew their swords and rushed out at the same time.

Anyway, sooner or later it will be a move, so why not take it by surprise and strike first!

Feng Wu seemed to expect that they would choose to break through, and with a wave of her hand, the guards around her rushed over, but she stepped back a few steps and stood at the exit to watch the battle.

As soon as she started, Murong Zi felt that something was wrong. These guards were already very skilled, especially proficient in combined attacks. Even with her and Mei Junhan's martial arts, it was a little difficult for them to besiege.She also understood how Mei Junhan almost missed last time.

"Let's put down these bastards first!" Mei Jun beside him shouted coldly.

"Okay." Murong Zi nodded, and stood back to back with him, first gave up the idea of ​​breaking out, and concentrated on dealing with the enemy in front of him.

Feng Wu saw a flash of splendor in his eyes, and then he sighed.

Murong Zi is amazingly talented, but it's a pity that she and she are not on the same road after all.

Mei Junhan... With such a peerless demeanor, so proud and Bingxin, why didn't I meet him first?
"Boom!" There were already several corpses on the ground.

However, once someone fell down, new guards would fill up next to them, keeping the formation running.

"This is not the way!" Murong Zi said while cutting off the right arm of a guard holding the sword with a sword.Damn this formation is really more difficult than expected!

Mei Junhan also knew that even if it continued like this, they would be exhausted to death, so he only said, "What do you want to do?"

"You go first!" Murong Zi shouted.

"I don't need your protection!" Mei Junhan's sword passed by, and the sword broke immediately when it touched it.

"Whether you need it or not is your business, but I have my duty... be careful!" Murong Zi kicked away a guard who was about to sneak up on Mei Junhan, and then continued, "Mei Junhan, you Don't forget, if you have something, Su Hailing will never let me go!"

"Okay, take care of yourself!" Mei Junhan took advantage of the situation and stabbed the man to death.

"It's a pity that none of them can leave today!" Feng Wu sneered.

Su Hailing, why does she have such an outstanding man in front of her?

"Not necessarily!" Mei Junhan let out a long laugh, and suddenly flew out from the formation, and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of her, and the sword in his hand slashed fiercely at her throat.

Feng Wu was taken aback, and it was at the time when her mind was divided, she didn't expect that someone could escape from the sword array she painstakingly arranged, and she was caught off guard for a while.

"I didn't intend to leave at all, look at the sword!" Mei Junhan took advantage of it, without letting up, and slashed with seventeen or eight swords like a storm.The way this woman looks at him...it's really annoying!
Feng Wu was too haggard to fight, and she couldn't even draw her sword in time, so she could only retreat one after another to avoid the sharp edge.The two hit each other all the way, gradually moved upwards, and disappeared from Murong Zi's sight after a while.

Originally, in order to let Mei Junhan get away, Murong Zi resisted all the attacks against the two of them by herself. However, now that there is one person missing in the formation, she did not feel the increased pressure. She couldn't help being overjoyed, knowing that she was right up!This sword array means that the greater the resistance, the greater the pressure!
The fire folds had long been extinguished during the fight, and now the lighting in the basement was all brought in by the two Fengwu guards and stuck on the wall.Without Feng Wu's command, under the dim light, the advantage of having a large number of people was not fully revealed.

It's just that the current Luoxia Villa is full of dangers, and it may be dangerous for Mei Junhan to chase Feng Wu alone.Thinking of this, she didn't want to waste any more time, so she forcibly opened a bloody path with the fierce sword force and rushed to the exit.

"Here you are!" Murong Zi took down the torch from the wall and threw it towards the crowd.

The torch fell on the wooden shelf with a stream of sparks, and the dry wood met the fire, and it burned instantly.

Taking advantage of the chaos, she rushed up the stone steps in a few steps, stopped halfway, and pressed her hands on the stone wall. After doing a good job, she heard a loud "bang", the passage collapsed, and the gravel immediately completely blocked the way out.

Murong Zi shrugged and ran outside.It is easy to dig out obstacles of this level, but it is difficult to say whether they can be dug out before they are scorched by fire!However, she didn't feel any guilt in her heart. Jianghu and politics were all like that. Whoever was ruthless was entitled to live.

As soon as we got back to the ground, the fresh air rushed to our face, which made us feel refreshed.

However, everything in front of her made her stop abruptly.
