Chapter 415 - Runtime (2)
In the imperial court, all the hidden power of Chunyu Feng was completely destroyed!
Tonight was the first night that the powers would be purged!
The dark guard had always been well-trained, and before Mu Wanjun went back to China, she had also left him with a lot of useful things!
After these assassinations, the blood-drenched mansion had people who looked exactly the same.
Everything was going on in secret, and in the process, everyone's speed was extremely fast!
No matter who it was, they were all racing against time.
Mu Wanjun and the others were rushing to China day and night. If the intelligence they had gathered was correct, Jin Yulie had long since received news of them and was waiting for them at an inn.
With only three days of travel left, Mu Wanjun and the others travelled day and night. Although everyone was showing signs of fatigue, no one was willing to stop and rest.
However, just as they were about to leave the Qin border and enter the border of China and pass by the Mausoleum of Books, a heavy rain suddenly began to fall. This torrential rain had completely delayed their journey.
Under such heavy rain and hail, they could only find a house near Mt. Mourning to wait for the rain to pass.
The climate of the Grand Xia and the Grand Qin was completely different here.
At the same time, the Qin Dynasty was still in a world of ice and snow, while China was already as warm as spring, nearing the start of summer.
Adept, quick, slow!
Rong Chu looked at the heavy rain outside the window with a worried expression, "I wonder when this heavy rain will stop."
That night, Xuanyuan Shishi slept in her room with Rong Chu by her side and Ye Zi and Mu Wanjun rested outside.
A sharp cry in the middle of the night pierced through the silence of the night. In the middle of the night, Xuanyuan Shishi suddenly woke up from her dream.
Mu Wanjun and Ye Zi immediately rushed in.
Xuanyuan Shishi had fallen asleep but she was incomparably frightened as a series of screams came out from her mouth. Rong Chu was by her side, hugging her tightly and calling her name while not being able to wake her up from her nightmare.
"royal father! Not father! " It was unknown what terrifying things she had dreamed of as beads of sweat rolled down her forehead.
Everyone listened to her blabbering. At the beginning, they could guess that she might have dreamed of seeing Rong Chu in the prison, but later on, everyone looked at each other.
Xuanyuan Shou'er shouted: "I'm sorry, royal father! I'm sorry! It wasn't me, it wasn't me! Don't believe her. She's not me... No, royal father! "
Her expression became increasingly excited, as if she was dreaming of what had happened in the past!
But when she changed the subject, she roared: "Xuanyuan Wushang! You returned my royal father's life! Xuanyuan Wushang... "
The torrential rain continued for three whole days.
When Mu Wanjun and the others continued to move forward, they could only turn back.
The mudslide triggered by the torrential rain had destroyed the official road to China's capital.
Mu Wanjun and the rest were simply unable to move forward.
Rong Chu looked at the soil in front of him and said, "I know there is another way. Able to bypass Mourning Mountain. It's just that the road is rough and difficult to traverse. "
And we have to go around, but that's the only way. Otherwise, he would have to wait here. After the road was reconstructed, they would move on.
But they had no time to wait.
Along the way, they had already encountered countless assassinations! Their whereabouts were exposed, and they were only attacked after they left the Capital. On the way, there were countless assassins waiting in ambush.
These killers came wave after wave like a flood, never stopping.
Among them, there was Pure Yufeng, Xuanyuan Wushang and the former Imperial Consort Yu who had been hiding in the shadows.
The moment Mu Wanjun and the others wanted to hurry, they would have to get rid of these assassins. The exhaustion of her internal energy was extremely severe. The mountain road collapsed again. Otherwise, they would have been able to fly on their flying swords.
However, there were still assassins chasing them, so they couldn't wait here. The only way was to take a detour.
It was possible to go around the mountain, but that was a path that the hunters and the herb gatherers had barely managed to walk through, they simply could not allow the horses to pass through!
They had to abandon their horses to go up the mountain.
Mu Wanjun, Rong Chu and Ye Zi were all fine, but Xuanyuan Xuanyuan Shishi was not! Since she was a child, she had grown up in a land of gold and jade. Even normal mountain roads would not be able to match up to her, let alone this kind of rugged and difficult road.
The road was muddy, and they moved very slowly. The first was that the path was difficult, and the second was that there were no signs of being followed.
Fortunately, Mu Wanjun had been prepared on the way here. After entering Da Xia, she made An Shuang and the others pretend to be them, in order to obscure the eyes of the assassins.
However, when they climbed up the Mausoleum of Mausoleum of Books, they discovered that the path that the mud avalanche had destroyed was not natural disaster, but rather a man-made disaster.
Xuanyuan Wushang, who had received the news early in the morning, was already waiting patiently for them!
He led 30,000 men to stand guard at the foot of the Mausoleum of Depraved Prison Mountain!
If they were to pass through the public road, there would be many branches that would head towards the Da Xia.
Sunset Slope!
Sunset Slope, a radius of five kilometers, was heavily guarded. Thirty thousand Da Xia soldiers had been waiting for a long time.
And in the end, Mu Wanjun and the rest only gathered seventeen Umbra, with Mu Wanjun, Rong Chu, Ye Zi and Xuanyuan Shishi — — a total of twenty-one people!
However, they had to face 30,000 heavy soldiers!
Mu Wanjun frowned, no matter how strong their cultivation was, they could not defeat tens of thousands of soldiers!
Xuanyuan Wushang was dressed in dark red armor, he urged his horse forward and looked at them craftily, "We sent out a thousand assassins and you guys actually made it here unscathed, we really admire you guys."
He called himself Zhen!
Xuanyuan Shou'er suddenly shouted: "Xuanyuan Wushang! You're still calling yourself 'I' even after you've placed a house arrest on my father? You despicable person who plotted to seize the throne! "
That night, she remembered!
Xuanyuan Wushang sneered as he looked at Xuanyuan Shishi, "It looks like you've really remembered everything. Since you've remembered it, you should remember that the poison that was given to royal father was personally carried by you right now."
"You …" "Xuanyuan Shou'er!" Xuanyuan Wushang, I will kill you! "
Xuanyuan Shou'er was enraged. She pulled out her sword and was about to stab forward, but was stopped by Rong Chu.
"He killed our royal father!"
Xuanyuan Wushang corrected him with a cold laugh, "We already said that you were the one who poisoned the previous Emperor! My princess! I shall follow the will of the heavens and inherit the throne. Today, I shall personally behead all of you, who are as random as you. To avenge the late emperor! "
He suddenly pulled out her sword, and pointed the sword tip straight at Rong Chu: "Xuanyuan Zhan, you're actually still alive, but I think you won't be able to see tomorrow's sun!"
"Someone come!" Kill them for me! "
