Nie Feng drove the carriage in front, and Mu Xiaojiu and Cai Jing sat in the carriage of the carriage, and no one spoke.

Cai Jing was clasping his hands together at this moment, looking at his nose and nose with his head down, and he didn't know what he was thinking; Mu Xiaojiu leaned against the wall of the carriage, his eyes closed, if others saw it, I am afraid that he would think that he was asleep at this time.

But Cai Jing knew very well that it was impossible for Mu Xiaojiu to fall asleep at this time. Not to mention sleeping, in fact, Mu Xiaojiu may not know how the dark tide is surging at this moment.

Maybe it's not appropriate to say that the dark tide is surging, and the word stormy waves may be more appropriate?

I don't know when the wind stopped, and the clouds in the sky slowly gathered, slowly covering the entire moon.

The street began to darken, it was getting late, and there were no other pedestrians and carriages on this road except for the carriage where Mu Xiaojiu and the three of them were constantly moving forward.

"It's dry! Watch out for the candles! ”

In the distance, the shouts of a groomer were heard and spread across the straight, empty streets.

It sounds like the husband must be in some alley next door, or maybe on the nearby street.

I wonder if that street will be more lively.

……

As the carriage approached the imperial city, gradually, the lights of the ten thousand homes had been left behind by the carriage. In front of him were the bright flames burning at the gates and walls of the imperial city, as well as countless guards dressed in stubborn clothes.

It seems that the one in the imperial city obviously knows that the dude is out of the imperial city tonight, and he also knows what the dude is going out to do tonight, so he looks like he is prepared for Mu Xiaojiu's arrival.

Of course, everyone also knows that these guards are just putting on a show. Everyone knows that if Mu Xiaojiu doesn't plan to stop, these guards can't stop and won't stop Mu Xiaojiu from entering the palace at all, and even these guards who seem to be ready to go will only help Mu Xiaojiu open the gate of the imperial city, and then let Mu Xiaojiu sit in the carriage and run all the way to the palace.

These guards are just used to express their attitude, to tell Mu Xiaojiu that the imperial city here, the imperial palace here, and the most important thing is that the little emperor at this time is Yingluan, and his arrival is not welcome.

It's a pity that Mu Xiaojiu at this moment doesn't care about what the little emperor is thinking, he just wants to finish what he wants to do.

So the carriage did not stop.

Mu Xiaojiu didn't speak, Nie Feng naturally wouldn't stop the carriage, just blindly drove the horse forward. And as the carriage got closer and closer to the gate of the imperial city, the leader of this group of guards finally raised his right hand after gritting his teeth, and then said: "Open the door, release the people!" ”

Under the strength of many soldiers, the gate of the imperial city slowly opened, and the carriage drove in unimpeded.

And after crossing the gate, there was no longer half a figure on the way.

There were no guards, no palace maids, and no eunuchs, only the palace lamps, which emitted a faint light in the dark night.

The curtains on both sides of the carriage were rolled up at some point.

"After entering the palace so many times, I have always known that this palace is the most untasteful place in the world."

From the moment he got into the carriage, Mu Xiaojiu opened his mouth for the first time.

Cai Jing raised his head, looked outside the curtain, and then agreed: "What the prince said is that the deep palace is indeed the thinnest place in the world. Not only human taste, this place always gives people the illusion that everything is extinct, which makes people always a little uncomfortable. ”

"The palace tonight is really deserted." Mu Xiaojiu retracted his gaze, picked up the wine gourd from the side of his seat, lifted the lid and took a big sip.

"Lord Wang, your injuries have not healed yet, so you should not drink alcohol." Cai Jing reminded loudly.

Mu Xiaojiu held the wine gourd and shook it, and said softly: "It's okay." ”

Although Cai Jing opened his mouth to remind Mu Xiaojiu, he also knew that Mu Xiaojiu must have wanted to drink at this time, so he just said that, and then kept silent.

"Cai Jing, you say, in all these years, are we the first people to go on a rampage in the palace in a carriage as a foreign minister?" Mu Xiaojiu said half funny, half mocking.

But Cai Jing didn't know if he was taking it seriously, so he really thought about it for a while, and then nodded, which was considered to confirm Mu Xiaojiu's statement, "I think it should be, but thanks to Mr. Nie who escorted me into the palace before, I know which direction to go, otherwise, I will become the first foreign minister to drive in the palace." ”

Not long after Cai Jing's words fell, the carriage stopped under Nie Feng's drive. Then, a majestic man's voice sounded outside the carriage: "But the prince has arrived?" His Majesty was not in the imperial study at this time, and his majesty sent him to wait for the prince here, and took the prince to face the saint. ”

The person who spoke was a strong man with a rough face and a burly body, with a killing aura, and he was obviously not a good person. It's just that although this guy is also murderous, his temperament and appearance are very different from ordinary soldiers, but he is more like a person in the rivers and lakes.

For about ten breaths after the strong man spoke, there was silence all around, and it wasn't until more than ten breaths later that Mu Xiaojiu's voice finally sounded in the carriage, "Since you know that the person in the carriage is me, why don't you kneel?" ”

The strong man was stunned, obviously he didn't expect Mu Xiaojiu to say this as soon as he opened his mouth. In his expectation, Mu Xiaojiu either got out of the carriage and followed him, or he didn't get out of the carriage and let him lead the way. The most unfortunate is the worst, Mu Xiaojiu should just fight him directly.

However, Mu Xiaojiu suddenly opened his mouth and asked him to kneel.

The strong man naturally didn't want to kneel, but he didn't know how to respond to Mu Xiaojiu's verbal persecution. So, he chose the best way in his heart - silence.

The strong man slowly lowered his head and began to say nothing.

But the next moment, he suddenly seemed to be facing a great enemy, and quickly retreated backwards, as if he was hiding from something.

Nothing.

It's just that there is nothing, which makes the strong man completely panicked, if there is only a wisp of sword qi crossed, and a hidden weapon is attacked, the strong man can still maintain his composure. But there was nothing there.

He obviously felt a great crisis, and even gave him a fairly clear feeling in his heart, if he didn't move and hide just now, his legs might have left his body at this moment.

However, Mu Xiaojiu clearly did not make a move.
