Chapter 161: Swinging the knife and sending it home
That night, Yingyang Pass closed the door open. King Yu led the Golden Armored Guard, the left-ranking Guard and the Shensha Cavalry to bravely rush out towards the nearest Yunzhou City. When the army left, the gate closed again.
Xuan Shaoning's hand that had been written by King Yu was trembling faintly. His colleagues said in front of Duan Lang and Xing Gang in his tent: "Time is up, let's take action!"
Everything in the pass was as usual. There were still people patrolling at the pass, and Zhang Hanshan's subordinates were patrolling between the major camps in the pass. They did not feel abnormal when they saw Xuan Shaoning coming out.
Xuan Shaoning's goal was to kill the military camp of the Tuqi. The first choice was the camp of Dan Tai Guizong. King Yu had told him that Dan Tai Guizong and his two sons would go to battle with him, so the only one Dan Tai Scythe is left.
In order to avoid the exposure of identity, the three of them changed their clothes at the corner, took off their Xuanjia Army's robe and changed into night clothes. They sneaked into the tent and checked for a while and found that there were soldiers guarding the tent. Xing Gang volunteered to lead the soldiers away, and Xuan Shaoning nodded.
Xinggang threw a few stones and first attracted the guard's attention, then jumped out of the shadow, exposing himself to the guard's sight. Sure enough, the guards howled, "I have a fine work!"
When the guards ran away, Xuan Shaoning and Duan Lang immediately sneaked into the tent. The furnishings in the tent were simple, and there was nothing special except for the couch, desk, and weapon display.
The two of them searched repeatedly in the camp and found nothing, but Duan Lang spread his hands towards Xuan Shaoning with helplessness. Xuan Shaoning had hoped that he could not find anything, and he was unwilling to confirm his thoughts. If he really found evidence that the god kills the chasing and the foreign countries, he didn't know how to explain to King Yu. He hoped that his suspicion and King Yu's suspicion were just suspicion.
With a sigh, Xuan Shaoning waved to Duan Lang and signaled that he could leave, but heard some sound in the tent. The sound was like the sound of fingernails picking wood, one after another. Xuan Shaoning was sure that he did not hear any abnormal sound when he entered the tent. This sound must have appeared after they entered.
"Shaoning?" Duan Lang couldn't help but speak, which meant that he had heard it too. He looked at Xuan Shaoning nervously.
Shush! Xuan Shaoning whispered: "You go to the door and I'll look for it!"
Following the sound, Xuan Shaoning walked to the bed of Dantai Guizong. The sound became louder. He lay down and listened to confirm that the sound came from below the bed. So he pushed the bed away and started to tap the ground with his hands. As expected, he found the problem: the ground was hollow!
Xuan Shaoning hesitated for a moment, and finally reached out and lifted the floor mat. A neat area had been cut open on the original land, and the boundary was very fresh and obvious. Xuan Shaoning took out the dagger and inserted it into the edge and gently pried the wooden cover above, lifted the cover completely with both hands.
There was a man inside! He was a stubborn person! The man was tied up all over his body, his feet were still fixed in the pit by chains, and his head was wrapped with layers of cloth covers. His hands were behind him, and his fingers were still stumbled on the ground. This was the source of the sound.
Xuan Shaoning gently opened the cloth cover with a dagger. The man was blindfolded and his mouth was stuffed with a cloth. Xuan Shaoning picked up the cloth strip that covered his eyes, then took out the cloth ball from his mouth. Finally, the man took a deep breath and slowly opened his eyes.
"Save me..."
He spoke weakly, but Duan Lang still noticed the movement and couldn't help but run over to see what was going on.
What's going on? How could a man be tied under the bed of Dan Tai Guizong? Duan Lang's mind began to get confused, and he couldn't figure out what was going on.
"Who are you? Why are you here?"
"My name is Xiang Kejian, I am Lord Mu's guard."
Lord Mu? Xuan Shaoning’s first reaction was Mu Qingyuan.
"What is his name when you are talking about Lord Mu?"
"Mu Qingyuan"
It's really him! Xuan Shaoning and Duan Lang were very excited. Since the Hanzhou City was captured, they have lost all their contact with Mu Qingyuan. It has been more than half a month now. I never thought that I would meet Mu Qingyuan's personal guard here, which means that Mu Qingyuan is still alive!
Xuan Shaoning immediately helped Xiang Kejian up and planned to rescue him and ask carefully. After all, this place is not a good place to reminisce. But as soon as he exerted force, Xiang Kejian began to moan, and a lot of blood immediately emerged from his body.
"Stop!" Duan Lang stopped Xuan Shaoning from doing any more. He pointed at Xiang Kejian and said, "Look!"
At this time, the two of them discovered that there were some black nails distributed from Xiang Kejian's chest to his legs. This was a kind of long nail that penetrated directly into the body and was nailed like a wooden board. Xiang Kejian must have been nailed here for some time. The original wound had already scabbed, but after being helped by Xuan Shaoning, the wound immediately broke again.
"What kind of deep hatred does Dan Tai Guizong have with him and torture others like this!" Duan Lang said angrily, "This is simply planning to let him die in pain!"
"This pit was obviously dug out recently. I remember when Dan Tai Guizong entered the pass with us, he did not carry any prisoners with him."
"What should we do now? How can we rescue him? Xinggang has been persisting for a while, I guess the guards should be coming back soon!"
Xuan Shaoning was helpless when he looked at these long nails. He was talking to Kejian. "Don't worry about me, I shouldn't be able to survive. Look at you... You shouldn't be the ones who kill the lords?"
"We are Xuanjia Army."
After Duan Langyi finished speaking, Xuan Shaoning's eyes when he saw Xiang Kejian's eyes brightened.
"You are Xuanjia Army? That's great! I beg you for one thing, can you help me find Xuan Shaoning Captain Xuan?"
"Are you looking for Shaoning? He is right in front of you!" Duan Lang couldn't stop talking about all these coincidences.
"I am Xuan Shaoning. Do you recognize me? Oh, it must be Qingyuan who asked you to come to me!"
"Yes, it was Lord Mu who told me on his deathbed that even if I die, I will fulfill Lord Mu's last wish!"
As soon as these words came out, both of them were stunned. Mu Qingyuan died? When did it happen? How did he die?
Before the two of them could recover from their shock, they began to become noisy outside, and shouts of killing filled the inner gate.
"How? How could Xinggang cause such a big disturbance? We can't stop!"
Xuan Shaoning came back to his senses and confirmed again, "You said, Qingyuan is dead?"
"Yes, I just died at the hands of Dan Tai Guizong!"
The surprise brought by Mu Qingyuan's death had not passed yet, and the next thing stunned the two of them.
"The God Killing Tuqi should be a treason. Lord Mu, Commander Xia and Brother Qing Cang, they have sacrificed their lives to keep me, I... I wanted to come to find you, but I was..."
A loud bang erupted in the pass, and Xuan Shaoning did not hear what Xiang Kejian said later. He knew that it was too late and he had to leave quickly.
"Don't talk anymore, I'll save you now!"
Xuan Shaoning cut the rope with a dagger, then used the tip of the dagger to pick out a long nail. As the nail slowly pulled it out from Xiang Kejian's body, he moaned in pain, and a nail made him sweat.
"Don't pull it off!" Xiang Kejian gasped and looked at Xuan Shaoning, "Person Xuan, my mission has been completed, and I have brought all the things I want to take. They and the people of Hanzhou are all dead at the hands of the enemies and traitors. You must... be sure to avenge them!"
Speaking of this, Xiang Kejian's originally bloodless face began to turn rosy. He shed tears, both for the innocent people who were slaughtered, Mu Qingyuan, Xia Junmao, Qing Cang, and also for his mother and himself.
"Person Xuan, I want one thing to ask you for the last thing!"
"you say"
"Help me get rid of it!"
Although Xiang Kejian had nails all over his body, the nails were not nailed to the vital parts. As long as there was enough time to remove all the nails, his life might be saved, but time would not allow it!
"Kill me! Kill me! You guys go quickly!"
Xuan Shaoning raised the dagger and stopped in the air for a while. It was not that he had killed anyone, but he had already killed many people, but those people were enemies, and the people in front of him were different. This was his own Chinese, and he was Mu Qingyuan's personal bodyguard. It was really difficult to start!
Xiang Kejian begged: "The disciples of Qingshan Academy are all heroes. I have followed Lord Mu, don't let Lord Mu ask him to be unkind!"
Ah! Xuan Shaoning stabbed the dagger hard, and stabbed it into his chest with a knife. At the same time, an explosion broke out again outside. No one heard Xuan Shaoning's shout, and even he himself did not hear it.
Chapter completed!
