Chapter 172 Branches

The soldiers were ordered to carry out a carpet search and turned over the whole palace, but only captured some of the remnants, but they never found the whereabouts of the national master and the old emperor.

"I have reported to the prince and the crown princess that I have inquired around, and I have never seen any trace of Muronghen and the emperor."

"Continue to search and don't let go of any other party."

Hearing this, Su Qingxue just quietly walked to Mu Qingfeng and whispered in his ear.

"Prince, Muronghen is cautious, and now that his last card has not been shown, Muronghen must now hide in the secret room with the emperor to seek the last chance."

"Well, that's reasonable. It seems that I'm going to go to the secret room in person. Congping, you send someone to escort the crown princess here, and the rest of the people will come with me.

"Follow the order, and protect the crown princess from peace."

When Mu Qingfeng was about to lead the team to leave, Su Qingxue came forward to stop the way.

"Prince, Muronghen is sinister and cunning. He must have set up a defense around the secret room, waiting for the prince to be captured. Qingxue is now in good health. I hope the prince will not treat Qingxue as a useless person. In this trip, Qingxue will definitely advance and retreat with the prince. I hope the prince can complete it.

"Xue, you... don't be capricious."

Su Qingxue just bowed slightly to Mu Qingfeng, then brushed her sleeves and left in the direction of the secret room.

"Snow clear!"

Seeing Su Qingxue leaving Mu Qingfeng on his own initiative, Wen Congping didn't know what to do for a moment. When he was about to ask Mu Qingfeng what he meant, he only saw Mu Qingfeng's worried look on his face.

"Why don't you protect the crown princess!"

"My subordinates are obeding."

Seeing Su Qingxue's stubborn temper, Mu Qingfeng had to follow Su Qingxue to the secret room. However, in order to ensure its safety, Mu Qingfeng held Su Qingxue's hand all the way and protected it behind him.

Before coming to the secret room, Mu Qingfeng arranged heavy soldiers to surround the secret room in advance, and then ordered people to open the mechanism step by step according to the instructions.

Sure enough, while the mechanism slowly opened, countless arrows stained with venom flew out of it. Mu Qingfeng turned around and protected Su Qingxue in his arms, and the soldiers beside him also quickly brought shields to resist.

Fortunately, Mu Qingfeng and his party were psychologically prepared, so the arrow did not hurt anyone.

After the arrow, all kinds of smoke bombs were thrown out, and the scene was suddenly filled with smoke.

"Be careful of poison, everyone cover your mouth and nose."

After the smoke, a group of soldiers rushed out from inside to fight. In the center of the soldiers were surrounded by two people. Due to the influence of the smoke, they faintly saw the clothes of yellow robes and Muronghen surrounded in the center. The soldiers who were ambushed were already ready. As soon as they saw someone rushing out inside, they immediately jumped out and surrounded them.

"Where to run?"

"You all retreat! If anyone dares to take a step forward, I will kill him!"

When the smoke dispersed, the masked man held a silver sword on the neck of the old emperor. And the clothes and voice of the masked man are undoubtedly Murong Hen.

"Muronghen, you let my father go."

"You let them all evacuate."

Murong Hen threatened the life of the old emperor, and the natural soldiers did not dare to move forward.

At the sign of Mu Qingfeng, he made a way for Muronghen.

At this time, Su Qingxue went around behind Muronghen when everyone was not paying attention. Looking at the gap between the people, the next moment, the dagger in the sleeve flew out and a silver light appeared.

Hearing the scream of "ah", the old emperor suddenly put a dagger in his leg and fell down in an instant. The old emperor's legs are bleeding, and he can't walk and evacuate with Murong Hen at all, which is also a drag.

Seeing such a scene, everyone was surprised, and Murong Hen, who was masked, was not surprised. If you still take the emperor with you now, you will definitely drag yourself down the pace of escape along the way.

Therefore, Muronghen crossed his heart and pushed the old emperor away with his strength. The old emperor flew out and flew straight to Mu Qingfeng's peace of mind.

At this time, the soldiers only wanted to protect the old emperor, and Murong Hen fled quickly in a panic.

Mu Qingfeng jumped up and turned over and firmly took the old emperor into his arms.

"Father, please come to the doctor! The others chased me!"

"Yes!"

And Su Qingxue also quickly came to the old emperor and bowed her head.

"Please forgive the emperor and the prince for your sins. Only then did Qingxue have to deliberately stab the emperor. Because Murong Hen will definitely not leave with the inconvenient hostages, he made this decision and made the emperor suffer.

The old emperor was conscious and waved to Su Qingxue.

"I understand your painstaking efforts and will not blame you. Get up quickly."

The others pursued in the direction of Muronghen's escape, while Mu Qingfeng quickly found a place for the old emperor to heal the wound.

"The imperial doctor? Is the imperial doctor coming?"

The imperial doctor hurriedly squeezed in from the group of soldiers and was preparing to heal the emperor.

At this moment, two silver lights suddenly flashed in front of their eyes and shot straight in the direction of Mu Qingfeng and the old emperor through a gap that the soldiers had made way.

"Be careful!"

Mu Qingfeng saw Yin Liang flying towards his father. He had no time to dodge, but instinctively protected his father in his arms. Su Qingxue, who was beside him, was also keenly aware of it. He instantly pulled out the steel knife of the soldier beside him, flew over to resist, and blocked the two silver needles and landed on the ground.

The next moment, looking in the direction, he found that a soldier's clothes were different from everyone's panic, but calmly turned around and prepared to leave.

"You stop!"

Su Qingxue shouted loudly, then picked up the silver sword beside him and shot at the man.

However, the man flashed and easily avoided the past. Then, he flew up and was ready to escape.

Mu Qingfeng put down the old emperor and flew up and chased after him.

The silver sword waved straight over and cut it down. Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, the man had to pull out his sword and turn around to fight back.

It's just the moment of turning around, that appearance stunned everyone.

"Murong Mark?!"

It turned out that Muronghen first rushed out with a team of people, and one of them pretended to threaten the emperor as a hostage, and always spread words in belly to confuse Mu Qingfeng and his party. However, he had already dressed as an ordinary soldier and planned to leave after sneaking on Mu Qingfeng and the emperor. Unfortunately, the sneak attack was destroyed by Su Qingxue.

At this time, Muronghen really regretted that he had arranged Su Qingxue, his own chess piece, to Mu Qingfeng. Not only did he not achieve his initial purpose, but this woman messed up all her plans.

Originally, all her perfect plans were lost because of the misuse of one of her chess pieces.

Naturally, I won't give up. If I really want to leave, I must also be buried with Mu Qingfeng and his son.
