Reborn from the ashes: Deadly Concubine

Chapter 120 Battle of Mu Kingdom: Identity Exposure

Zhuo Zhuo had visited here and met with everyone, and then the first question she asked was: "Has anyone heard about the situation of His Highness Qing Jian, General Xia?"

A big-eyed man answered her doubts for many days: "I heard that after the defeat, His Highness Qingjian was seriously injured and was sent back to the capital by the generals."

He didn't die, the poison in his body didn't even kill him.Zhuo Zhuo pursed his lips, how disappointed.

It doesn't matter, even if he didn't die, his vitality would be seriously injured, and with Zhen Yuqian's death before, his status in front of Han Ze would plummet.

It's just that he didn't die. After returning, she had to protect herself well.Try to kill him before he hurts her.

In a blink of an eye, Zhuo Zhuo lived here for more than ten days. She taught these people martial arts, and also helped arrange defense and patrol skills. Soon, everyone trusted and liked her.

It's still a mess outside these days.Among the three exits, one is set in a stone house, and one can hear the situation of the house outside by sticking to the stone door.The soldiers of Mu State came to the same stone house three times in the past five days, searching for objects and people, patrolling frequently enough.

By eavesdropping on the conversations of these soldiers, they can also know the situation outside.Mu country seems to have captured another city in Xia country.But it's not easy either.Although Xia Guo suffered a disastrous situation, but where is his strength, he quickly organized a defense to resist Mu Guo's attack.

Counting from the day she called Chong Jiu to deliver the letter, one month has passed, and Han Yingxi should have seen the letter.In a month's time, the high-level officials of King Xia's capital should also take countermeasures, and they should take action.

At night, Zhuo Zhuo sat on the bed, unable to fall asleep.Originally she was arranged to sleep in the men's room because she was disguised as a man.But the old man told her to sleep in the healing room closest to the secret passage, and there was no one else except the little girl she rescued.

This made Zhuo Zhuo very grateful, and at the same time guessed whether the old man already knew that he was a woman.

The little girl was still lying on the bed and refused to speak, but she was able to eat and drink water, Zhuo Zhuo looked at her sleeping face, now she would not be awakened by nightmares, presumably it will be a matter of time before she gets better.

Sighing softly, she lay back, turned sideways, groped for something that could be hugged with her small hands, and finally pulled the quilt under her body.The little face was attached to it, and there was no warm feeling, it was just a quilt.

Zhuo Zhuo still didn't fall asleep until the shift changer came over.Watching the two men walk to the secret passage, and then the two men who replaced them left.Finally Zhuo Zhuo sat up, forget it, don't sleep, let's go around.

Zhuo Zhuo made up his mind, tied up his hair with a cloth belt, and supported his chest. After wrapping it like this for several days, I really don't know if it will become smaller.

Zhuo Zhuo turned on the mechanism, and when she went in, it was the room where she practiced martial arts, and it turned out to be lit.In order to save money, no one will light oil lamps at night unless necessary.Zhuozhuo walked into the room and saw the old man sitting on a chair, looking at a sheepskin picture.

Hearing a sound, he raised his head, because the shift changer had already passed by.The two looked at each other, Zhuo Zhuo smiled softly: "I can't sleep, how about you, Grandpa?"

"Me too. Master Zhuo, come and see."

Zhuo Zhuo walked to the table and saw that the map of Licheng was drawn on the sheepskin.

"This area is where our secret room exists. I want to build another alley from the underground to the other side, so that it can run through the things in Licheng."

When the old man pointed to the map and talked to her, Zhuo Zhuo couldn't help raising his eyebrows.There is a place name here, which contains a word "Ling", and this character is written in a circle, which is very symmetrical and regular, as if there is a round frame.This way of writing is characteristic of wizards.They always use the character "Ling" in their practice, and this character is written in a circle.

No wonder the mechanism secret room was built so ingeniously. It turned out that the old man was a wizard.Organs are the patent of wizards.

"There are soldiers from Mu Kingdom everywhere outside. Wouldn't it be too risky to build a secret room under such circumstances?"

The old man looked up at Zhuo Zhuo, his face was silent and his eyes were like torches: "I didn't expect you to say the word adventure. In my opinion, you are a person who is not afraid of danger."

Zhuo Zhuo smiled, she was sweet, and her smile was even more charming: "Fearless of danger does not mean reckless. I want to know what is the purpose of you building the new secret room, Grandpa. I think there must be a reason."

The old man looked at Zhuo Zhuo for a while, then looked away, pointed to the map and said: "Look, there is an alley on the east side of our street, and this secret room is built on the west side. We can connect the secret rooms on both sides by digging a tunnel under the main road. So As soon as we come, we can understand the situation on the east and west sides of Licheng. Just as you can see my identity, I also know that you are not a simple girl. I can't help but teach these people martial arts strategies, and you will also lead us to fight against Mu Guo's army. Fight until Xia Guo's army rescues us. Isn't that right, female officer Zhuo Zhuo?"

Zhuo Zhuo's face suddenly darkened, knowing that she is a girl is not scary, after all, he is old and experienced, so it is reasonable to see that she is a girl.But even if she was a wizard, how could she easily know her identity?While Zhuo Zhuo was vigilant, he involuntarily reached for the knife at his waist.Oops, the knife is by the bed.

Seeing Zhuo Zhuo's expression and behavior, the old man smiled slightly, still calm and calm: "Are you going to kill me? I'm just a wizard, not a monster, why are you so afraid?"

"How do you know my name?!"

The old man pointed to the chair opposite, and motioned her to sit down and calm down.Where does Zhuo Zhuo have that spare time?But if you don't sit, the old man can't speak.So Zhuo Zhuo had no choice but to sit down, but still tensed up, ready to fight at any time.

Compared to Zhuo Zhuo, the old man is much more relaxed: "I remember one time, when you were teaching the children martial arts, the strip of cloth on her left arm suddenly broke and fell off. She hurriedly covered her arm with her hand and left in a hurry. See you again You, with layers of bandages on your left arm, say your arm is injured."

As the old man said, he pointed at Zhuo Zhuo's left arm, which was wrapped with three or four bandages. Zhuo Zhuo frowned slightly, and the old man continued: "I just realized that there is something on your left arm that cannot be known to others. It is natural to think of the mark of a slave. How can a female slave move freely? Beautiful, smart, extraordinary, brave, free female slaves, I can only think of one person, that famous female official Zhuo Zhuo who is favored by the Second Highness."

It turned out to be like this, he exposed his identity and was still here to scare himself.Zhuo Zhuo couldn't help but smiled wryly: "Yes, I still call myself A Zhuo."

The old man smiled. This old man was born as a wizard, so he was inevitably serious.It’s really kind when it’s funny: “You’re a girl who goes out, so it’s understandable for you to disguise yourself as a man. But there are also many inconveniences. People here respect you very much and are good boys, so you don’t have to bother pretending. "

After Zhuo Zhuo heard this, he smiled in embarrassment.Tomorrow morning, Big Brother Zhuo will become Sister Zhuo, and it is estimated that many people will lose their eyes.But as the old man said, the people here are very nice, they have the same goal and the same enemy, they are very close to each other, better than a family, she doesn't have to hide anything.

Zhuo Zhuo relaxed now, and the old man continued: "You said that Xia Guo's army would come to rescue us. I believe you know something, and this will definitely come true. But, I don't want us to just wait obediently. Rescue, many of us have stepped into the gate of hell with one foot, and many have crawled out from the blood of their family members. How many deep hatreds are held in their hearts, how many young children have heard the voices of soldiers from the Mu Kingdom, With red eyes, I want to rush out to fight for life and death. If this continues, there will be problems. I heard rumors about you, you are not simple, and looking at your performance these days, more than one is not simple. The breath reminds me of my favorite apprentice. So I believe in you, you can lead these children, not only to save their lives, but also to fight back."

Zhuo Zhuo couldn't express his gratitude in his heart, he really didn't expect this serious-looking old man to trust her so much in his heart.All of a sudden, her blood surged, their thoughts came together, and she was about to make a difference to welcome Han Yingxi who came to rescue her.

"Don't worry, I will lead everyone to teach those Mu people a good lesson."

A month ago, she was still helping those people from the Mu country, but now, they have become enemies.She helped Mu Guo only to kill Han Qingjian, and now she is hostile to Mu Guo because of Han Yingxi.

In her life, she only lived for love.past, present.

"If you want to build this secret room, you have to dig a tunnel first..."

The two discussed the other for a long time, just for a tunnel.Finally, relieved, the clock bone brought the wine, and then withdrew.Zhuo Zhuo watched the clock bone leave, and asked with a smile: "Is this uncle your favorite disciple?"

The old man took a sip of wine, lowered his head, and his hair hung down in strands. The pure white hair could not block the light of the oil lamp, making it appear transparent.

"He died, and after he died, I left the temple. It's been 20 years."

The wizard of the temple, Zhuo Zhuo was not surprised: "Grandpa is the wizard of Xiaguo Temple? Is it the great wizard?"

The old man nodded, sure enough.Zhuo Zhuo tried his best to recall that the current great wizard of the temple is called Zhuifeng, who is 47 years old and has been a great wizard for 20 years.This old man should be his master, the former Great Wizard of Xia Kingdom.

"Great Wizard, Nebula."

The old man smiled. I don't know if the smile was nostalgic or mocking: "It's been a long time since I heard this name. It feels like I'm calling someone else."

Zhuo Zhuo shook his head: "I really didn't expect to meet a great wizard here."

This is unexpected, I don't know if this legendary great wizard knows all about the Soul Slaying Saber.Just, how to ask?

"The Second Highness often mentioned all kinds of things about the temple. He said that only the great wizard of the temple knows the most mysterious things. For example: gods, witchcraft, and the soul-killing knife."

Zhuo Zhuo noticed that when she said the first two words, Xing Yun just smiled, but when she said the four words "Soul Killer", Xing Yun's smile froze.It was only for a moment, but she saw it.
