Leaning on the fence to watch the birth of the moon

Although it was already early spring, the weather was exceptionally good that day, so Mo Xian hid under the trees and vines, sweating all over during the day, and at night, when the cold wind blew, even Mo Xian, with his deep inner strength, couldn't help thinking tremble.Coupled with the nervousness and irritability in his heart, the night wind had just dried the hot sweat, and the sweat made his underwear wet again.

Mo Xian raised his eyebrows, thinking to himself that if he was lucky enough to escape this time and escaped with his life, then most likely he would not be able to avoid a serious illness, and perhaps he would have to wait a little longer to find Senior Brother Qi.

Just as he was thinking wildly, suddenly there was something wrong in a corner of the sky, Mo Xianchu thought it was something like a burning cloud.But thinking about it again, it is already midnight, the sun has already set, where did the fire cloud come from?Carefully climb out from under the ancient vines, pay attention to hiding your body and look towards the red corner. Although it is far away, because it is separated by mountains and forests, it is hard to see clearly, but it is probably a fire that soars into the sky!

In that direction, with such a big fire, is it the trees that are burning, or... the Longevity Gate? !

But no matter what is burning, what is certain is that the Longevity Gate has already started, and obviously the momentum is not small, but what about the imperial army?If they haven't shown up yet, it won't be good for them when the winner is decided inside.

As soon as Mo Xian thought of this, he heard a commotion coming from the foot of the mountain, in fact, the direction of the town.Not long after, he heard footsteps coming from his side of the hillside—the footsteps of an army are definitely different from the footsteps of a large group of civilians, even for an army that had never learned to walk in step in ancient times.

Mo Xian thought to himself, and lay down again under the ancient vine, looking down the mountain.At this time, he would have to thank Jade Butterfly Gu, although that thing could not allow him to see things in the dark as in the day, but probably he could still see clearly.

Mo Xian looked at a crowd of people's heads passing under the mountain peak, and there was a group of people on horseback in the middle, holding banners that could not be seen clearly, but no matter whether they were on horseback or on foot, there was absolutely no emperor.

This group of people passed by, and after a while, it was the second wave, and this time there were more people riding horses.There were about two or three hundred numbers, separated from the infantry, and gathered in a pile alone.But Mo Xian looked left and right, and felt that those people were probably just cavalry, and the emperor would still not be there.

Soldiers drove into the mountain in groups, and Mo Xian was lying on the hillside, as if watching an ancient military parade-this time the troops that came were indeed sufficient, and even the extra-large water dragons advanced ten times. After a few moments, Mo Xian thought it was a trebuchet at first, but the Longevity Gate should be considered a city, right?I don't know why they got the water hose for spraying oil or fire when defending the city.

Mo Xian waited and waited until he finally found a team that looked like the emperor was there.But Mo Xian is not sure, because before them, a group of two or three hundred strangely dressed people passed by—a mixture of men, women, old and young, but they were definitely not prisoners, because prisoners would never chatter and laugh, and they also had wine. There's meat, flirts for takeaway.Mo Xian suspected that this group of people might be the Jianghu people recruited by the emperor, but they were definitely not the highest class.

Further on, the team that suspected the emperor was also all cavalry, but the equipment of these knights was obviously not comparable to that of the previous teams.It's not about the degree of sophistication, but the degree of beauty - at night, with the help of the starlight, the swan feathers on their heads trembled rhythmically with the bumps of the horses, and the horses under their crotches trembled rhythmically. Also taller and stronger than other people's horses.

And Mo Xian also guessed right, the emperor is indeed here, in fact, there is no need to look at anything else, the swan feather on the helmet is the symbol of the emperor's guard.

However, knowing that the emperor is among this group of people, it doesn't mean that he can do it because Mo Xian doesn't know his exact location.Perhaps the emperor's armor is more majestic, but he is caught in the middle of a group of people at this time. From Mo Xian's position, he can only see the general appearance of the knights' armor in the front, and only a piece of the knight's armor behind him. A rickety helmet with swan feathers...

How to do?

Mo Xian frowned as he quietly followed the team forward.However, the other party has been busy on the road, and occasionally the soldiers in front came back to deliver orders, and the guards outside did not disperse, but directly took the news and relayed it to the people inside one by one.

As a result, Mo Xian turned his head and found that the team had already reached the gate of longevity.As Palace Master Yang said, this place is no longer a sect, but a city, but now the city is full of flames, even with Mo Xian's current distance, he can feel waves of heat coming.

Moreover, the gate of Longevity Gate was wide open, and most of the soldiers that Mo Xian had seen before had disappeared, and none of the two or three hundred people from the rivers and lakes had been seen, so it was conceivable that they had entered the city.

Mo Xian glanced at the Longevity Gate, and was a little worried about the old man inside, but when he looked back after looking at it, there was a change below—the emperor camped.

A carriage came up from behind, and a group of knights dismounted and began to set up a camp. Most of the remaining knights no longer rode on horseback, but scattered around and patrolled. The emperor is also highlighted!

The emperor stood on a slightly elevated hill—the reason why he was considered the emperor was because he was standing still—and there were only five people standing beside him, a monk with a bare head and a cassock, and two dead men. They were dressed as soldiers, and the two were dressed as generals, and one of the generals was obviously limping while walking. Mo Xian suspected that the lame general was Changning Hou, but it was difficult to move now, because the emperor happened to be standing in the middle of everyone. If Mo Xian attacked at this moment, he would have become a target for crossbowmen before he reached the emperor's side, so he still had to wait.

Not long after, the monk gave the emperor a slap, turned around and rushed into the Longevity Gate—this place is indeed a "holy place", there may be some martial arts secrets engraved on a rock, and an old woman said They may be able to refine medicine to make Gu, so for a martial artist, rushing in and looting is much more important than protecting the emperor, even if this martial artist is supposed to be a monk with pure six roots.

Not long after the monk left, a messenger came, and a military general also left. Just at this time, the big tent was set up, and the emperor walked towards the big tent. The lame general still wanted to stay on the slope, but Not knowing what the emperor said, the general hesitated for a moment, and finally followed him towards the big tent.

Coincidentally, the big tent happened to be built against the cliff on Mo Xian's side, probably because the other side was a gentle slope.However, this cliff is insurmountable to ordinary people, but to Mo Xian, it is nothing.The only thing that bothered him was the two dead men, but there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain, and Mo Xian began to slowly move towards the cliff behind the big tent.

As a result, before he reached the location, sure enough, "Road" appeared.

Those two dead men came out by themselves?Moreover, they also took away the guards standing guard and patrolling outside the big tent and two steps away from the big tent. Only when they were twenty steps away from the big tent, the group of people stood still.

Mo Xian is sure that his eyes must be shining now!What a godsend!

But even though the opportunity is good, Mo Xian is still steadily approaching it step by step. With such a good opportunity, he doesn't want to fall short because of his recklessness.On the almost ninety-degree cliff, Mo Xian hid in the dark, took a breath, touched the small bumps where ordinary people couldn't stand on the toes, and landed lightly and delicately on the ground.The moment his toes touched the ground, he exhaled again, and he rushed out suddenly, and when he stopped, he was already behind the big tent.

I don't know what kind of leather the big tent is made of, but it is extremely strong. Fortunately, Mo Xian brought the long sword given to him by the brothers of the Zhao family in Shuanggui Village.Among the two choices of cutting open with a knife and rushing in to rob the emperor, and taking a careful look at the situation inside with Xu Yixuan, Mo Xian finally chose to be safe.

Because he thought that if he killed the emperor, the army must come back to find the assassin.But the reality is obviously not as easy as he thought, the soldiers and generals have already been thrown out, and now it is probably a melee.Even if he killed the emperor, those fighting inside probably didn't know it at all, and still followed the previous order.

So at the lower part of the big tent, Mo Xian carefully cut a hole, squatted sideways on the ground and looked inside, only to see that the inside was "turned upside down" at the moment, and Marquis Changning was really inside, fighting with the emperor now.Looking at the situation, from the perspective of the emperor, it was "that kind of" hand-to-hand combat, but Changning Hou was really fighting hand-to-hand.

The helmets of both of them rolled to one side, the emperor was riding on Marquis Changning's waist, pulling at the other's armor, Marquis Changning resisted fiercely.When Mo Xian looked at it, he was pulling out his hairpin and stabbed at the emperor in an instant.As a result, he was grabbed by the emperor and pressed to the ground.

"Shaoming, now that the matter of the Longevity Gate is over, you obediently come back to me, and I will forget about the past. Otherwise, whether Jiang Ling can come back alive, I will..." Still wanting to get angry, the emperor felt a pain on his neck. Liang felt numb all over his body, as if someone had tapped his acupoints.

"Father, are you okay?" Mo Xian picked up the stiff emperor and threw it aside casually.

"Xiao Mo, thank you." Seeing that it was Mo Xian, Marquis Chang Ning immediately felt relieved, but just as he was about to get up, he pressed his left leg and let out a muffled groan.

"Father?"

"It's okay." Marquis Changning shook his head, and stood up unsteadily, "I knocked on the table leg, but it hasn't been broken yet."

Sure enough, there was a table in the big tent, but it had been pushed aside. One could imagine the intensity of the battle between the two before.Fortunately, Marquis Changning is wearing armor at the moment, if it were ordinary clothes, Mo Xian came in and saw...

"I want to save my father."

"I want to save Jiang Ling too."
