On How a Sworn Enemy Becomes a Lover

"Really?" Deputy Prime Minister Shen didn't say whether he believed it or not, but just looked at Mo Er with a smile.

Mo Er also returned a smile, but he took out a dagger from the desk drawer in front of him.

Every adult man in Yue people wears a sword, and Mo Er is no stranger to it. He quietly watched him draw out the blade. The bright blade reflected white light, making him dizzy.

"What does Deputy Prime Minister Shen mean?" Mo Er still smiled as before.

Deputy Shen put the dagger on Mo Er's face, moved it down a little bit, and finally landed on his neck. Even in June, the cold air from the tip of the knife made Mo Er tremble.

Deputy Prime Minister Shen was very satisfied with Mo Er's reaction: "Second prince, the old man will be polite first and then soldiers. I don't need to say, you also know that my plan to assassinate the king has failed. It won't be long before the king will let people To surround this place, the old man is not greedy for life and afraid of death, but wants to find a way out for the hundreds of millions of people in Ouyue and Liming. Now is the best opportunity. If it is gone, there will be nothing left. Please look at it Tell the truth in the face of the people."

After saying that, Deputy Prime Minister Shen lifted his robe, knelt quietly at Mo Er's feet, and kowtowed three times.

For a while, Mo Er was also full of thoughts, but in the end he turned his head away and did not look at Deputy Prime Minister Shen.

"Vice Prime Minister Shen, do you know why I came to see you today?" Mo Er spoke with difficulty, his voice hoarse.

"May I ask where is Madam?" Seeing that Deputy Shen was puzzled, Mo Er opened his mouth.

Deputy Prime Minister Shen was stunned for a moment, and suddenly seemed to think of something, and shouted: "Yi'er, go find your aunt!"

Mo Er took the time to rectify: "No need, Mrs. Zun has already been invited to Nanjiaomen as a guest."

Deputy Shen suddenly became depressed, looked at Mo Er for a long time, and then sighed leisurely, then laughed suddenly, startling a tree of black magpies away.

"The second prince deserves to be the second prince. He really can be called a wise and close monster." Deputy Prime Minister Shen clapped his hands and laughed maniacally. At the same time, big tears kept falling down.

Mo Er had mixed feelings in his heart. For a moment, he doubted whether what he did was right or wrong.

Before coming to Prime Minister Shen's Mansion, Mo Er sent someone to find the director of Xifu, Mr. Xi, and asked Mr. Xi to find someone to kidnap Deputy Prime Minister Shen's wife.

Since most of the people who can handle affairs in the Xifu are on the battlefield, and the rest are just helping the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, Mo Er came to Shen Xiangfu to attract attention and act as the boss, so that Shen Xiang could concentrate all his attention on himself On the body, there is room for Xi Sanye to attack.

They negotiated a secret code, as long as there are three cock crows outside the door, the matter will be completed.

Right now, Mo Er heard three cock crows outside the door.

"Mo, Second Prince, aren't you afraid that I'll kill you?" Deputy Prime Minister Shen's eyes were wide open. He had some genuine affection for his wife. Now that the other party was being kidnapped, seeing that his life and death were uncertain, Deputy Prime Minister Shen My heart is almost bleeding.

Mo Er didn't take it seriously: "Deputy Prime Minister Shen can do whatever he wants!"

Deputy Prime Minister Shen's fingers trembled, and he stood up abruptly. He pushed the dagger forward a few points, and made a gash on Mo Er's neck. Seeing blood, Deputy Prime Minister Shen calmed down: "Second Prince, I'm asking Once again, where is Patriarch Wei's team ambush?"

There was a burning pain in the neck, Mo Er frowned slightly, said nothing, lowered his head, a few strands of hair stuck to his face, let alone how embarrassed he was.

Seeing Mo Er's silence, Deputy Prime Minister Shen increased the strength in his hand, the sharp pain chilled Mo Er's heart, and the shadow of death gradually enveloped Mo Er.

"Second prince, do you know that the Han people have a punishment called Ling Chi for the heinous criminals, which is to use a knife to cut off the prisoner's flesh one by one. It takes [-] knives and a total of three days. Good executioner! I don’t know how many knives a delicate and frail person like the Second Prince can endure.” Deputy Shen’s expression gradually distorted, as his wife was tied up on the one hand, and the assassination was invalid on the other. On the other side, the Dianyue troops were nowhere to be seen, and they could disrupt the pace of the Daliang Army at any time, and he became more and more anxious.

This is the best opportunity. After this time, I don't know how many people will die to capture Ouyue.

He and his wife have been planning for two years. Seeing that the time is ripe, they must not fall short, otherwise they will feel sorry for the many people who died in the past two years.

Mo Er was noncommittal, closed his eyes, and didn't look at Deputy Prime Minister Shen, because his mind was filled with too many things, and he couldn't sort out a thought for a while, what was right and what was wrong, he didn't even have a judgment.

Deputy Shen's heart turned hard: "That old minister is being abrupt."

Deputy Prime Minister Shen used the knife so superbly that Mo Er couldn't believe it. Deputy Prime Minister Shen had always followed the path of a civil servant, and he didn't expect that the knife skills were first-class and good.

It wasn't until the tip of the knife cut through the skin, and a piece of skin on his arm was sliced ​​off, that Mo Er woke up like a dream, but the fear was not too much, the pain was not too obvious, and he was more at a loss, like falling into a dream dizziness.

"Second prince, where is Patriarch Wei's troops ambushing?"

Shen Xiang asked again, his tone was gentle, like a kind elder, he was very polite, like someone who had used a knife.

Even if Mo Er wanted to say something about the momentum, he couldn't say anything.Weiss' troops are still on the way, and Dianyue is also a human being, so how can he fly into the sky and hide without a trace, such a simple reason, just think about it, but it's a pity that Shen Xiang has already got into the horns, and he didn't expect it at all. .

It was another cut, and this time, Mo Er felt the pain, it was burning.

"I'm asking you again, where is he?"

Mo Er also kept silent, kept silent, quietly waiting for the knife to fall on the flesh, but after a long time, everything was quiet, Mo Er pulled his eyelids, opened a slit secretly, and saw Deputy Shen's obsessed The wrist of the knife's hand was being entangled in the whip, and it was being pulled back, so that his knife could not be dropped for a long time.

Passing over Deputy Prime Minister Shen and looking out, there was a person dressed in red and holding a whip in his left hand. In a haze, Mo Er felt that this person looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before, but his eyes seemed to be covered with a black cloth. It is unclear.

"Mo Er"

With that single sound, Mo Er instantly woke up.

It was Xi Xian, Mo Er pulled the corners of his mouth, trying to give him a pretty good smile, but his plain white robe was not only stained with mud but also blood, and one side of his face was swollen, blue and purple. Looking directly at him, his smile was worse than crying, which made Xi Xian's heart tense, almost thinking that Mo Er was stupid.

Xi Xian exerted force on his hand and pulled back violently, Deputy Prime Minister Shen was pulled away and fell heavily to the ground.

At the same time, he walked towards Mo Er, and just about to untie the rope for Mo Er, the sound of his palm piercing the air behind him made him subconsciously turn sideways, only then did Xi Xian notice that there was a fourth People, but Xixian didn't pay attention to him, he was just a thin boy, reaching his chin.

In the past, ten of him would not be able to get close to Xi Xian's body, but now Xi Xian himself is at the end of his strength, and the move just now is basically strong.

The young man's martial arts skills are not very good, his reckless and tyrannical drive alone is enough to give Xi Xian a headache.

Xixian had no choice but to dodge left and right, seeing that his strength was exhausted, he had no choice but to retreat.

"Stop, Yi'er." Deputy Shen said in time.

Li Yi's eyes widened in disbelief, but Deputy Shen's expression was solemn, Li Yi had no choice but to retract his hand angrily, and stood aside.

"Young Master Xi, you're here too." Deputy Shen then got up from the ground, straightened his hair crown, looked much straighter, and bowed his hands as a salute.

"Who is he, why do you want to stop?" Li Yi is more mature than ordinary teenagers, but in the final analysis, he is still a teenager of seventeen or eighteen years old. The teenager's heart is troublesome, and when he sees Xixian, there is a hint of anger in his heart.

Xi seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "Who am I has anything to do with you, besides, who are you?"

While speaking, Xixian untied the rope that bound Mo Er.

Then he pulled him up hard and dragged him forward.

Deputy Shen stretched out his hand to stop him: "Mr. Xi, is this?"

Xi Xian waved Shen Xiang's hand away, looked directly at Shen Xiang: "Get out of the way, Shen Lin."

Shen Xiang stood still, his eyes became darker, and he smiled lightly: "Shen Lin, what's the matter, you are going to be ungrateful! You forgot who saved you in Xiangjun three years ago, and who swore that he would rather die than refuse." I have to repay this kindness."

Shen Xiang was noncommittal, and said calmly: "This old man knows well, if there was no Patriarch Xi in Xiang County back then, there would be no old man like this, but Mr. Xi, I will repay the kindness owed to Patriarch Xi, but not today. "

Xi Xian took a step forward, sideways to block Mo Er, and the soft whip went straight to Deputy Prime Minister Shen.

Deputy Prime Minister Shen stood there without dodging, "Young Master Xi, I still have something to ask the Second Prince."

Xi Xian frowned and turned to look at Mo Er, but it was almost impossible for him to see anything from Mo Er, especially when Mo Er didn't want him to know, he couldn't see anything.

"Where are Patriarch Wei's soldiers and horses ambushing?" Deputy Shen looked excited, with blood gushing from his mouth, his five fingers turned into claws, and he firmly grasped Xixian's clothes.

The blood gushing out of his mouth was black, and it looked like it was poisoned.

Mo Er looked at Deputy Prime Minister Shen in surprise, but Deputy Prime Minister Shen couldn't stand anymore, and fell forward, kneeling straight on the ground. It looked like he had only one breath left.

"Five miles outside the city, Fengxian Linnan." Mo Er leaned down and helped Xi Xian break off Deputy Shen's hand holding his clothes.

Deputy Prime Minister Shen didn't know whether he believed it or not, and smiled strangely: "Second Prince, think about what I said today."

Then he turned his head: "Yi'er, come here."

Li Yi knelt down in front of Deputy Shen at a loss, and put his ear to Deputy Shen's mouth. The corners of Deputy Shen's mouth kept twitching, but Mo Er couldn't hear what he was talking about, and he presumably was explaining his funeral.

But Xixian didn't pay attention there, he was still thinking about what Shen Xiang said about Patriarch Wei.

The only person whose surname is Wei in Jiuyue is the Dianyue Wei family. Dianyue came here, but he didn't know anything about it, and all kinds of thoughts arose, and all of a sudden they all crumpled up and circled in his mind.

Deputy Shen stopped, dragging his head feebly, Mo Er put his hand on Deputy Shen's neck to test his pulse, shook his head slightly, and closed his eyes for Deputy Shen.

"No!"

Before Mo Er finished speaking, Li Yi began to retort loudly: "Impossible, you are lying, impossible."

Li Yi's face was filled with disbelief, Deputy Prime Minister Shen was definitely lying to him, how could he die, he would definitely not die, he must be lying to him.

There were footsteps outside the house, disorderly footsteps, it seemed that many people had come.

"Shen Xiang"
