Chapter 403 Chapter 406
The Heavenly Demon Strength made it difficult for him to use his strength, his whole body felt empty, and he almost vomited blood and got hurt.

If he knew that his opponent was Zhu Yuyan, the "Queen of the Yin", he wouldn't have suffered a dark loss just by meeting him face to face.

Yang Xuyan's shadow sword originally had an indomitable momentum, but he didn't expect that Li Yuanji's split carbine suddenly slammed into him. He was caught off guard, the long sword was knocked sideways, and the whole person suddenly felt empty, and the subsequent changes were all overwhelmed. upset.

In the absolute darkness, neither side knew who the opponent was, they were both suspicious and extremely chaotic.

In fact, Zhu Yuyan was also taken aback, and judged that in this narrow space, if she wanted to kill these two mysterious opponents, it was not impossible, but she had to pay a heavy price.

How sensitive her senses were, she detected that there were two other people in the corridor who were still making moves, and one of them should be Shen Mu. In this situation, how could she take the risk of being injured.

Li Yuanji and Yang Xuyan reorganized their offensive to fight back, although Zhu Yuyan was gnashing her teeth with hatred, she had no choice but to retreat.

No one in the basement really understood what was going on.

Mei Xun was standing against the wall, heard the sound of the knife wind, looked at Shen Mu's position accurately, and stabbed out with a single shot soundlessly.

Fortunately, he managed to stab in the air, and before he had a chance to change his move, Shen Mu slashed heavily on the head of the golden spear, which made him nearly drop the golden spear to the ground, and backed away in shock.

The sound of fierce fighting outside the door gradually faded away. Mei Xun was not strong enough to fight back. Firstly, he gave Shen Mu the initiative, and secondly, he didn’t know the situation of the enemy and us. He went outside and fought while retreating, thinking that as long as he could guard the mouth of the well, Shen Mu would be unable to fly, and he had no reason to share life and death with him in this darkness.

Shen Mu thought it was clever, as long as Mei Xun was forced to reach the secret passage leading to the underground river, or to return to the mouth of the well, he could turn back into the vault, leave by the living wall, lock the wall and wait to keep the enemy away from the real vault. In addition, even if the other party comes again, they will think that the "fake treasury" is the real treasury of Yang Gong's treasure.It made the enemy think that he left from the underground river.

Things have changed beyond anyone's expectations.

Shen Muqian went back to the Sha Mansion, and knowing that Xu Ziling was safe and sound, he sneaked into the room, touched the bottom of the pillow, and found that the leftover book was still there, so he let go of one thing on his mind.

At this time, the sky was slightly bright, and there was still a bit of snow falling, Shen Mu simply fell asleep, and only woke up when he heard Sha Fu's exclamation.

Sha Fu said with a happy face: "When did Lord Mo come back?"

Shen Mu hugged the quilt to sit up, and said, "Did anyone look for me last night?"

Sha Fu said: "Miss Xiufang and Mrs. Qingqing sent people to look for you."

Shen Mu thought to himself that it is fortunate that he has this face, if he wears a mask like Hou Xibai, he will definitely attract the favor of more beauties and give people the impression that he is being merciful.

Sha Fu asked: "Where is Master Mo going? They thought you were afraid of being detained, so they left without saying goodbye."

Shen Mu said: "In the past few days, I will definitely take advantage of the emperor's departure from the city and run away. Did uncle find me?"

Sappho said: "Uncle was on duty last night, so he was not free."

Shen Mu secretly thanked God, and said in a low voice: "I met Li Jing from Tiance Mansion yesterday evening, and forced him to go back to the mansion to drink, but I didn't know that after three cups, I was so drunk that I didn't wake up until I woke up earlier. When I returned to the mansion, I crawled in from the backyard, because the Elder is not happy that I have such close contacts with people from Tiance Mansion, how can you help me hide it?"

Sha Fu said without blinking: "It's easy. Whoever in the house doesn't respect Mr. Mo, who doesn't want to do his best for him, as long as I make some arrangements, it's said that Mr. Mo just changed from Miss Xiufang or Miss Xiufang last night. When Mrs. Qingqing comes back, no one will know."

Shen Mu happily said: "Let's just say that I'm going to see Miss Xiufang, and I'll thank you for taking care of me."

Sappho sighed: "It's a trivial matter. Master has been very upset since he knew you wanted to leave."

Shen Mu said: "I just went out to make a transfer to meet my fate, what's the big deal."

Shafu lowered his voice and said: "But there is news that the emperor wants to appoint you as an imperial physician. The emperor will be upset if Mo Ye left like this, and maybe he will blame uncle."

Shen Mu didn't think about this problem, he frowned, and thought about it: "You don't have to worry about the master, I will enter the palace to report to Zhang Jieyu later, and she said a word to the emperor, which is better than anyone else. Thousands of sentences are more useful, and Baobao will not affect my uncle."

Sha Fu said: "Then hurry up. I heard that the emperor is going to leave for Zhongnan Palace today, maybe he will bring Zhang Guifei along with him."

Shen Mu thought to himself that the situation in Yang Gong's treasure house would not be covered by paper, and it would be no wonder that Li Yuan didn't delay his departure because of this, so he nodded in agreement.

Shafu left in a hurry, covering up his lies, and Shen Mu lost one thing on his mind.

After grooming and about to go out, Wan Houfang came and saw Shen Mu's expression was peaceful, staying in the room as if nothing had happened, he couldn't hide his surprise.

Shen Mu also wanted to find out what happened between them and Li Yuanji, so he sat down beside him and said, "It's a good thing you still have time to meet me."

Wan Hou sat down on the edge of the bed, resentful and pitiful, and said: "How can you blame others, you are the one who broke your promise, we have no choice but to take measures to protect ourselves."

Shen Mu spread his hands and said: "Okay! Let's take a break now. You have no relics, and I lost the treasure. The only thing I can be thankful for is that I can still eat and walk."

"Pu Chi" said with a coquettish smile, "You should thank us, that's what your so-called secret operation is all about, if Master Zhu hadn't just entered the treasury and lured Li Yuanji away, I'm sorry for Shen Mu's difficulty fly."

Then he spread out his palm and said, "Bring it!"

Shen Mu's heart was dark, there must be someone lurking in the Li Clan, so that he could grasp the situation in the warehouse at the first time, and knew that he "escaped" from the underground river, frowned and said: "Do you think the relic is in my hands? ?”

Hou Hou said: "You two had enough time to turn the treasure house upside down before Li Yuanji found the entrance. When we saw Ziling, he was wearing a tight-fitting jacket, so it was impossible to hide the relics on his body. Since Not elsewhere, of course you are."

Shen Mu smiled casually: "If it weren't for the fact that you can still play tricks, I really don't want to do business with you again. But now you can only listen to me. See you at the foreign hotel at the beginning of Xu Shi tonight!"

Wan Wan still wanted to talk, and the sound of footsteps came.

Shen Mu winked at Houhou and walked out of the small hall.

The next person came to report, Dazhi was waiting for him in the east hall.Shen Mu had already guessed that he would come upon hearing the news, so he happily went.

Shen Mu sat down beside Da Dazhi, and said with a wry smile, "Aren't you afraid to raise doubts when you come to look for my younger brother so early in the morning?"

Da Zhi let out a long breath and said: "Even Kemou has to admire the young commander's supernatural powers. Now there are rumors in the palace that the young commander has been buried in the biogas cave in the treasure house, and only Xu Ziling escaped safely. How could he expect the young commander not only to be alive?" It’s all right, it’s like just waking up with strength and a face full of spring breeze.”

Shen Mu said: "If you don't have any knowledge, how can you come to the rivers and lakes?"

Da Zhi said: "Of course the young commander has unbelievably high morals and deeds, but Yan Shuai is worried that you may not be able to take the relic away in time."

Shen Mu raised his eyebrows and laughed, and said, "Did anyone find the relic in the warehouse?"

He took out the luminous pearl, although it couldn't be like the brilliant scene of shining light in the darkness of the basement before, but anyone can tell at a glance that this is a rare treasure, and facts speak louder than words, so Kao Zhideng was speechless.

Shen Mu put Ye Mingzhu back into his arms, and said: "Brother, please go back and inform Yan Shuai that the transaction will go on tonight as scheduled, don't play tricks, otherwise he won't get the holy relic if he kills us, let alone me, Shen Mu, You are not a person to be bullied. My younger brother is waiting to do a lot of things right now, and there are too many things to do immediately, so I forgive my younger brother."

Da Dazhi stood up, looked at Shen Mu with sparkling eyes, and said in surprise: "Young commander doesn't seem to care about the loss of the treasure house, what's going on?"

Shen Mu stood up with him, and said mysteriously: "Is there any reason to return empty-handed after entering Baoshan, money can make ghosts turn the clock, but brother is so familiar with the proverbs of our country, you should understand the meaning of these two sentences .”

Dazhi couldn't help him, so he left with a half-knowledge.

Just about to go out, Sha Fulai said: "General Li Jing is here! He said he wants to see if you have a headache after waking up from a hangover. I dare not let the master and miss know, please invite him to wait for Master Mo in the small hall of the outer courtyard?"

Shen Mu secretly praised Li Jing for his cleverness, and followed Shafu's tone to help him lie, making the nonsense lies seamless. He hurried to meet him, knowing that this test is more sad than Da Zhi's.

Li Jing looked at Shen Mu intently for a long while, and said, "What happened last night?"

Shen Mu said: "We were unlucky, the activities in the basement were monitored by Li Yuanji's people, so..."

Li Jing interrupted him and said, "Now the whole city knows what you said. What I want to ask is why you appeared here so easily when you were forced to flee to the underground swamp hole. This is more disturbing than not seeing you." Surprising."

Shen Mu said: "This is called the endless road. Although my breath-holding magic skill has been practiced well, I still can't go on endlessly, so I have to swim desperately along the underground river. Ha, who would have thought that I could swim from a small place outside the city?" out of the lake."

Li Jing stared at him without blinking, still unable to judge the authenticity of what he said, and the relationship between the two was delicate, if he pushed Shen Mu too hard, Shen Mu might turn his face.After a while of silence, Li Jing sighed, "Why don't you seem to be disappointed by losing the treasure house?"

Shen Mu smiled and said: "It's either a gain or a loss. Frankly speaking, apart from the few boxes of jewelry that can be bought for a few bucks, the raw embroidered weapons would also take up space if given to me. His grandma's Yang Gong's treasury, That's what happened."

Li Jing said: "Before dawn, the emperor personally led the king of Qin, the king of Qi and more than a dozen masters to enter the room. His original intention was to capture you alive. How did you know that you had already escaped from the underground marsh cave, and the marsh gas was still pouring into the warehouse. The emperor immediately ordered people to come and go. In the search of the treasury, under one of the treasure chests, I finally found the mechanism to open the lower level of the real treasure house, and found a batch of weapons and armor that can assemble a thousand-man team."

Shen Mu breathed a sigh of relief just now, his heart was very dangerous, and he also thought like Xu Ziling that if they were the ones who discovered the lower treasure house first, they would definitely be fooled by Lu Miaozi and Yang Su.

Li Jing continued: "Now the situation in the treasure house is classified as the top secret. After the entrance to the marsh cave is sealed and the marsh gas is exhausted, we will send people to search thoroughly to see if we can find the evil emperor's relic, and then hand it over to the teacher. Miss sent back to Jingzhai, so as not to leave future troubles."

Only now did Shen Mu know that Master Concubine Xuan had told Li Shimin about the evil emperor's relic. Under the current circumstances, Li Shimin would naturally report the truth to Li Yuan.

However, Shen Mu whispered that it was not good, if Zhao Deyan and Dazhi believed that they did not have the relic of the evil emperor in their hands, how would the grand plan of stabbing incense tonight be carried out.

The enemy will only use their tricks and plan to kill them with all their strength.This kid Dazhi is really insidious, he even pretends to be stupid, and tricks himself to lie to him.

At this time, Li Jing firmly believed that Shen Mu had not entered the real treasure. Seeing his distraught appearance, he couldn't bear it, and said: "There is a saying in Buddhism that everyone is a treasure house. As long as you know how to use it, you can use it for life. The benefits are endless, and the number of days is fixed, which cannot be forced by manpower. What are your plans in the future?"

Shen Mu came back to his senses, forced a dry smile, pretended to be disheartened and depressed, and sighed: "I just want to leave Chang'an quickly, and I will never come back again."

……

Shen Mu is now not only a celebrity in Chang'an, but also a regular guest of the palace. It was the first time he went to the palace alone, and he didn't need to give his name. flattered.

Across the square, the Spring Hunting team was ready to go. Except for the occasional whistling of the horses, thousands of people did not make a sound, and no one showed any impatient or sloppy waiting expressions.

Compared with Peng Liang's so-called rabble who had been trained for a few days, it was indeed a world of difference.Among the young commander's army, only Xuan Yong's troops can be regarded as elite.I hope that after he leaves, Xuan Yong and the others can make good use of this period of peace and improve the quality and combat capabilities of the Young Marshal Army.

After thinking about it for a while, the outer city guard who led the way handed him over to the general Lang of Chengtianmen according to the rules.Lang Jiang knew that he was not only Chang He's old friend, but also a celebrity around the emperor and the second noble concubine, so he naturally saluted him and led him to meet Zhang Jieyu in person.

Suddenly a person came towards him in a big way, before Shen Mu could figure out what was going on, Lang Jiang hurriedly pulled him aside and said, "The emperor is here, kneel down quickly."

According to the rules of the imperial palace: even if the guards guarding the city gates and towers see the emperor, they only need to pay respects instead of kneeling. see.

After Xuan Ang's team passed by, Li Yuan's voice sounded in front of Shen Mu: "Stop!"

Someone immediately ordered to stop, stepped forward from the soldiers, and stopped suddenly, uniformly.

Li Yuan said in surprise: "Isn't this Mr. Mo? Please get up immediately, Mr. is my distinguished guest of the Tang Dynasty, and you don't need to be courteous as a monarch or minister."

Shen Mu stood up pretending to be in a panic, glanced around, and found that Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, and Li Yuanji were around him, and there was a group of ministers behind him, including his old friend Liu Zhenghui, and Pei Ji, Liu Jing, Xiao Yu, and Chen Shuda. , Feng Deyi and other close officials, it seems that an emergency meeting has just been held, and they are heading to the square to join the team of Chunshou and set off for the Zhongnan Palace.

He couldn't help applauding in his heart, for his appearance at such a coincident time, no one would suspect that he was the incarnation of Shen Mu, except those who knew the matter, such as Li Shimin.Because in the guess of Li Yuan and others, even if he escaped from the marsh cave by chance, it is absolutely impossible for him to come back so soon.

Li Jiancheng regarded him as his own, and spoke for him: "Mr. Mo has been running around these days, busy with helping things, it is too hard."

Shen Mu hit the snake with the stick, bowed and said: "Thank you, the emperor and His Highness for your concern, the villain is entering the palace this time to see how Mrs. Zhang is recuperating, so I will leave by the way."

Li Yuan asked in astonishment, "Mr. Mo is going to travel far away?"

Shen Mu hurriedly pulled Li Jiancheng into the water, and said: "The villain once told His Royal Highness that because the villain has a nemesis in his life, it is not suitable to stay in any place for a long time before the age of 30, so he will leave Chang'an in the next few days and go to other places to practice. This is my home. Uncle ordered, the villain dare not disobey."

Li Yuan looked at Li Jiancheng, and Li Jiancheng was secretly startled, but it was true that this happened, so he said helplessly: "Mr. Mo mentioned this to Wang'er, but he didn't think that Mr. Wang would leave so soon, so he didn't tell Wang'er. Father report."

Li Yuan also had nothing to do with him, so he could only ask: "Mr. Mo is your Geng this year?"

Shen Mu bit the bullet and said: "The villain is 28 years old this year."

If Li Yuan hadn't been there, the ministers and soldiers would have been in an uproar, because he looked over 35 years old.

Li Yuan said: "Mr. Mo is so young, that is to say, he still has two years to travel around to help the world. Uncle Ling is a high-ranking man, and since he has such a strict order, there must be a deep meaning behind it. Two years later, the master returned from traveling, I will not treat you lightly, get up!"

……

Zhang Jieyu was in a bad mood today, originally Li Yuan had promised to take her and Concubine Yin De to the Zhongnan Palace, but unexpectedly changed his mind this morning and ordered the two concubines to stay in Chang'an.

Before meeting Zhang Jieyu, Eunuch Zheng repeatedly warned Shen Mu that if it is not necessary, it is best to enter the palace to seek an interview.He also hinted that if it was not for Shen Mu's sake, he would never pass it on.Otherwise, once Zhang Jieyu vented his anger on him, Eunuch Zheng would be in trouble.

Shen Mu heard him speak so seriously, and wanted to retreat.However, remembering what Chang He said, "Zhang Jieyu's words are worth Li Jiancheng's ten words", I had to bite the bullet and go to see Zhang Jieyu, because Zheng Gonggong's anger was a small matter, but Chang He and the Sha family's anger was a big matter.Weighing the weight, no matter what you have to take this risk.

After waiting for a while, Eunuch Zheng came to the outer hall and said: "Madam really looks at Mr. differently. Knowing that Mr. is here, I put everything aside for the time being. I want to see Mr. first."

Shen Mu really wanted to ask what Zhang Jieyu had left behind?But he knew that asking such a question was not suitable for etiquette, so he could only make indirect remarks: "Is Madam calm?"

Eunuch Zheng panicked and said: "She just broke a vase of the Great Food Kingdom that the emperor gave her, and no one is allowed to clean it up. Do you think she is calm?"

Shen Mu almost turned around and wanted to leave, but now that the transmission had been passed on, she had become like a tiger riding a tiger, thinking that in this situation, she said that she was going to leave Chang'an, how would she react?

Zheng Gonggong said: "Come on! Don't keep Madam waiting for a long time."

In Shen Mu's mind, only the words "self-inflicted, can't live" entered the inner courtyard with a tingling scalp.

The study where Zhang Jieyu met him was obviously not the place where she threw things to vent her anger. The floor was clean, and the servants waiting on the left and right stood with their heads down in shock. The only thing they dared to look at was the floor.
