440. The first fire of war(1/3)
In the dark night, the cold wind whistles.
After leaving Tianxuan City in Tianming Kingdom and walking west for another twenty miles, it is Xuantian City in Xuanye Kingdom.
Before closing the city gate, a carriage arrived at the gate of Xuantian City and was stopped.
"Who?" Xuanyeguo's city guards asked loudly.
The driver was a young man with an ordinary appearance. He took out a silver note and stuffed it to the city guards who were blocking the road without a trace. He looked humble and showed a flattering smile: "The villain is a businessman who has been doing business outside all year round. Now he is rushing home to celebrate the New Year with his wife."
The defending soldiers looked down at the amount of the silver notes, their eyes flashed slightly, and then walked to the carriage, reached out and lifted the curtain, and saw a young woman sitting there, seemingly a little scared, and kept her head down. Apart from that, there was no one else.
"Go away!" The defending soldiers put down the curtains and waved their hands in the direction of the city gate, indicating that there was no problem and they could let go.
The carriage slowly entered Xuantian City, arrived at the entrance of an inconspicuous inn, and stopped. A black shadow appeared like a ghost and sat next to the coachman.
"Sir, why do we want to stay here?" the coachman asked respectfully.
"You kid is very conscious of the times." The old man sitting next to the coachman was tall, slightly fat, with a square face, a hooked nose, and a black birthmark on his left face, looking like he was powerful without anger.
"Haha, the villain just wants to survive. I hope that after things are done, the adults can let the villain go." The coachman said with a little panic.
"You are willing to bear your little wife." The old man sneered.
"This... as long as you are alive and have money, it is not easy to marry a beautiful wife?" The coachman smiled.
After the coachman finished speaking, an angry female voice came from the carriage: "If you sell me, my parents will never let you go!"
The coachman raised his eyebrows, slammed his neck, reached out and slapped the curtain, and snorted, "Your family is so poor. If you weren't good-looking, would you think I would marry you? Do you think your parents love you so much? Then give them a thousand taels of silver notes, and they wouldn't even leave one!"
"Stop talking nonsense, take her out of the car and go in." The old man said to the inn in front of him.
The coachman jumped out of the carriage, pulled the woman in the carriage down, and entered the inn in front of him.
The old man bowed slightly and followed them into the inn, like a follower.
After driving two rooms, the coachman was about to take the woman into one of them, but the old man called out: "Young Master lives here."
The coachman lowered his eyes and covered the dark light in his eyes, let go of the woman, and as the old man said, he entered another room.
It was already deep in the night. The coachman looked up at the roof and knew that the old man was sitting on it. The reason why he kept him was just to get him to drive the car.
"Master, bless..." the coachman murmured, it was Mo Qingchen's voice.
When they first entered Tianxuan City, they passed by an alley and an old man was hit by a carriage. Mo Qingchen got out of the carriage to check the situation. When he turned around, Lingsu of Beitang had been kidnapped. It was a group of people who cooperated very well. It was not that Mo Qingchen relaxed his vigilance, but that the old man who was responsible for "striking the carriage" was hired by the group of people for money. He had no martial arts skills and was in poor health. He happened to fall next to the wheel of the carriage. If he didn't care and continued to move forward, he would kill the old man.
The people who hijacked Lingsu of Beitang had extremely high martial arts skills. Mo Qingchen had ordered the sword dragon guards who were escorting him with him to keep a safe distance that would not be discovered. Without his orders, he could not take action at any time.
Mo Qingchen realized that he had encountered big trouble. He felt that even if his people took action, he would probably have no chance of winning, and it would only increase unnecessary casualties. It would be possible that Beitang Lingsu would be injured. It would be fine if Beitang Lingsu was not pregnant. The couple fought hard and had a chance to escape. However, for the sake of the child in Beitang Lingsu's belly, Mo Qingchen and Beitang Lingsu exchanged glances at that time and decided not to act rashly.
Then, the Stegosaurus guard who was driving the car ran away with Mo Qingchen's hint. Mo Qingchen was about to run away with a look of "terror", so he was caught back and turned into a new coachman.
Although there was only one old man who showed up, Mo Qingchen could feel that there were other experts nearby. After entering Xuantian City, most of them left.
At first, Mo Qingchen suspected that the people from which force were asking for trouble for the Divine Soldier City, but later he felt that they didn't look like him, because he and Beitang Lingsu were both disguised and traveling. Whether they were dressed or carriages, they looked like people from businessmen. Until now, those people have not noticed their disguise, and they were in the direction of Xuanye Kingdom. Mo Qingchen felt that the royal family of Xuanye Kingdom should not do such a thing.
So, why did these people target Beitang Lingsu and arrest Beitang Lingsu? The reason is very suspicious. As the "coachman" who was arrested, Mo Qingchen perfectly disguised himself as a man who was timid and afraid of things, fears life and death, and does not have a wife to survive.
Mo Qingchen didn't know that Xiao Xinghan and Mu Yan had arrived in Tianxuan City at this time. According to their original plan, Xiao Xinghan and Mu Yan should have just left Tianzhao City. So Mo Qingchen did not expect Xiao Xinghan and Mu Yan to come to save them. He bowed his head temporarily, the main purpose was to be the safety of Beitang Lingsu, because he knew very well that in the face of absolute strength, he would not have a chance of winning. Even if there were hidden weapons and poisonous techniques, he would not have a great chance of winning. A mistake hurt Beitang Lingsu, and the consequences were very serious. Mo Qingchen got to these people to find out their background and purpose, and then consider how to escape and fight back. The current situation is that Beitang Lingsu was taken away by those people, so as long as they were obedient, those people would not be able to do anything to Beitang Lingsu.
Mo Qingchen even used the "master disguise artifact" developed by Xiao Yuesheng. It was a "master disguise artifact" that could perfectly cover up the master's aura after eating it. Even if you take the pulse, you could not tell that it was a very special pill for martial artists. Although Mo Qingchen thought he was not a real master, he did not dare to let those people know that he could do martial arts, otherwise all the disguise between the couple would be in vain.
Suddenly hearing the door next door open, Mo Qingchen's face darkened, he stood up, and did not go out rashly, but pressed his body against the wall and listened to the movements next door.
Beitang Lingsu, who was sleeping in bed, sat up, looked "horrified" and shrank back for a moment, and saw another strange-looking old man walking in with a sack, put the sack on the ground, and untied it.
Beitang Lingsu's eyes narrowed slightly, because there was a woman in the sack. She looked similar to Beitang Lingsu's age, with a good appearance, and her hairstyle should have been married.
"Come here and get her to the bed!" The old man looked up and looked at Beitang Lingsu and said coldly.
Beitang Lingsu's body trembled for a moment, then got out of bed, walked over slowly, pulled the woman on the ground up with difficulty and dragged it to the bed.
The old man said nothing else and turned around and went out.
Beitang Lingsu looked at the unconscious woman and frowned slightly. Could it be that these people wanted to sell them if they caught them? Then why should they catch the married woman? I really can't figure it out...
Mo Qingchen heard the door next door closed, and probably guessed what happened next door, and was full of doubt. At this moment, a low voice came from the roof. Mo Qingchen pricked up his ears. Although he didn't hear it very clearly, he also heard some.
"Why haven't Lao Wu come back yet?"
"Good goods...not easy to find..."
"Before dawn... Lao Wu... won't come back... let's go first..."
...
Mo Qingchen was almost convinced that these people arrested Beitang Lingsu and had nothing to do with Shenbing City, but were just arresting some of the "good guys" they liked.
It was midnight, and the gate of Xuantian City was closed, and the soldiers guarding the city were still patrolling.
Xiao Xinghan and Mu Yan quietly entered Xuantian City, followed by two people, one was the Sword Dragon Guard, and the other was the old man in gray who had been hit by the puppet Gu and recognized Mu Yan as the main person. Mu Yan had no time to ask who the old man in gray was and where he came from, and planned to talk about it after finding Mo Qingchen and Beitang Lingsu.
This time they went out, there were a total of ten sword dragon guards accompanying them, and they were all in Xuantian City. As soon as they entered the city, Xiao Xinghan discovered the marks left by the sword dragon guards.
"Master, Madam, it's great that you are here!" The Sword Dragon Guard who followed Mo Qingchen at a safe distance was relieved when he saw Xiao Xinghan and Mu Yan falling from the sky.
"Where is the person? What's the situation?" Mu Yan asked.
The Sword Dragon Guard pointed to the inn where Mo Qingchen was from afar and said, "It's right there. Mr. Mo didn't let us do it, and we didn't dare to get too close. Mr. Mo and Mrs. Mo should not be injured now, but were controlled by others. And those people may not know their identities. We looked at them, it seemed that those people had caught another woman in Xuantian City and brought it back to the inn."
Mu Yan looked at the inn, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she had a plan in her mind.
Not long after, a couple entered the inn. The man was tall and handsome, the woman was slim, and there was a long sword hanging around her waist. She looked like a rushing man.
"Two guests, the city gates are closed so late. How did you come into the city?" The inn shopkeeper asked a little more.
"Don't talk nonsense! Have you ever gone to the room?" Xiao Xing snorted coldly.
"Yes, yes! Only one room is left. Please come upstairs, two guests! "The shopkeeper shrank his neck, nodded and bowed quickly, and asked the waiter who was napping next to him to take Xiao Xinghan and Mu Yan upstairs.
When Xiao Xinghan and Mu Yan came, they had already seen two people sitting on the roof of the inn, almost integrated with the night scene. If nothing unexpected happens, the room below the two must be Mo Qingchen and Beitang Lingsu.
Coincidentally, the last room left is next to Mo Qingchen.
Xiao Xinghan and Mu Yan entered the room. Mo Qingchen felt a little strange. Someone came so late. The next moment, he heard a familiar voice coming from the next door: "Xiao Tian'er is too weak, and even Susu can't protect him well. Let's expel him from the house!"
"Yeah, I agree."
Mo Qingchen suddenly widened his eyes, looking ecstatic. If he hadn't been afraid of disturbing the two old men above his head, he would have wanted to laugh to the sky! He never expected that Xiao Xinghan and Mu Yan would suddenly appear. And Mo Qingchen was very sure that Xiao Xinghan and Mu Yan knew that they had just come here.
Mo Qingchen's heart finally returned to his stomach and sat in the room with peace of mind. He didn't communicate with Xiao Xinghan and Mu Yan, because he felt that since Mu Yan was here, he must have a plan. He just needed to wait and protect Beitang Lingsu as soon as possible.
In the next room, Mu Yan asked Xiao Xinghan softly: "If those people were trying to catch beautiful women, would they have already set their sights on me now?"
Xiao Xinghan reached out and pinched Mu Yan's face, nodded slightly and said, "Well, you are the most beautiful." Mu Yan is not the real face now, but her disguise looks very beautiful. She plans to see Beitang Ling Su safe and sound first, and then consider the matter of doing things.
As Mu Yan wished, when they entered the inn, they were stared at by the two old men on the roof. They exchanged tacit eyes and said, "Send a message to let Lao Wu come back. If you catch the one below, we should be able to hand in the job when we go back."
"Catch it first."
The window was open, and the two flew in, cooperated with each other, one hit Xiao Xinghan and the other hit Mu Yan.
Soon, Xiao Xinghan, who "knowingly lost", threw Mu Yan down and jumped into the window and ran away, while Mu Yan fell into the hands of two old men.
The old man with a birthmark on his face looked at Mu Yan's figure, nodded slightly and said, "He is a top-notch guy. But the men here are more and more unparalleled. They know to run away when they encounter danger!"
"Who are you?" Mu Yan said coldly.
"Girl, that man who left you is not worthy of your concern. I will take you to a good place." The old man looked at Mu Yan with a sinister smile.
Soon, Mu Yan was pushed into another room, the door closed from outside, and the person who arrested Mu Yan also threw a harsh sentence: "Be calm, otherwise you will die ugly."
Mu Yan blinked her eyes, looked at Beitang Lingsu with a surprised look not far away, with her lips curled slightly, and said silently: "I'm here to save you."
Mu Yan walked over and signaled that Beitang Lingsu should not move or speak. She took Beitang Lingsu's pulse and found that the pulse was still stable, but the fetus was not yet three months old. Beitang Lingsu could not use force next, so it would be easy to have problems if a mistake was made.
"Why are you back so soon?" Beitang Lingsu said in a low voice.
"I'm afraid that Xiaotian'er won't take good care of you, so I came back in a hurry. I didn't expect something really happened." Mu Yan said softly.
Beitang Lingsu pointed to the bed. Mu Yan saw the woman lying on the bed and frowned slightly: "What do these people do?"
Beitang Lingsu shook his head: "They arrested all women who were married."
"Maybe it's a pervert who is better." Mu Yan went to take the pulse of the woman on the bed and found that she had just been infected with the drug, which was nothing serious. She and Beitang Lingsu were not drugged. Perhaps because they did not resist at the beginning, they thought that they had been controlled. Maybe they would need to walk on their own and make them do things in a convenient way.
"What should I do now?" Beitang Ling Su asked Mu Yan.
"Now?" Mu Yan sneered, "Of course I'll get rid of those miscellaneous things and take you away!"
After Mu Yan finished speaking, she shouted to the next door: "Xiao Tian'er, come here!"
The next moment, Mo Qingchen punched a big hole in the wall, rushed over, and hugged Beitang Lingsu with a nervous look.
"You take Su Su, let's go!" Mu Yan finished speaking and lifted the woman on the bed.
Mo Qingchen held Beitang Lingsu, and Mu Yan took the woman and flew out through the window.
Everything happened very quickly. When the two old men heard Mu Yan's voice, they realized something was wrong. And if they wanted to come, they were stopped.
One of the people blocking the road was Xiao Xinghan, and the other was an old man in gray. His gray eyes were like a pool of stagnant water, without any fluctuations, and the blood words engraved on his cheeks on both sides looked very terrifying.
The two old men saw the appearance of the old man in gray, and their eyes looked like they had seen a ghost. One of them blurted out: "Boss, why is it you?"
A dark light flashed in Xiao Xinghan's eyes. He looked back and saw that Mu Yan and Mo Qingchen had left. The Sword Dragon Guard was in the dark and used hidden weapons to cover them and blocked several men in black.
