Chapter 98 Accountability
The golden light shone down, making everything in the dark alley invisible.
Mu Huo looked at the girl in scarlet clothes under the wall and said in a commanding tone: "Cui Hengyue, come back with me."
"No, I won't go back." Cui Hengyue refused.
She worked so hard to get here, how could she give up so easily?
Mu Huo's face turned cold: "Then don't blame me for being ruthless."
After saying this, Mu Huo waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him immediately rushed towards Cui Hengyue.
Without the archers, there is still hope for her.
While Cui Hengyue was rejoicing, he took out the fire stick from his back and quickly inserted it into the hollow handle of the short knife to form a spear.
She asked Shopkeeper Sun to prepare this fire stick. It was delivered last night. She spent a long time cutting it before the fire stick and the dagger were perfectly integrated.
"Ding--"
The spear collided with the soldier's saber, making a crisp sound.
The next moment, the saber flew out and the spear turned back, stabbing the soldier at the front.
Cui Hengyue violently threw the soldier away.
The soldier knocked down the people behind him and immediately fell to the ground with a crash.
Cui Hengyue took the opportunity to jump onto the wall and ran along the wall, trying to escape from the roof.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he jumped onto the roof, a person appeared in front of him.
"Cui Hengyue, follow me back to Yunxuan Temple."
It's Mu Feng.
Without saying a word, Cui Hengyue picked up the spear and stabbed it.
Mu Feng responded calmly, and after catching Cui Hengyue's move, he suddenly changed his movements, as sharp as the wind, forcing Cui Hengyue to retreat continuously.
The two exchanged a few moves, and Cui Hengyue realized that she was no match for Mu Feng, so she turned around and ran back.
After galloping along the wall for only five or six feet, Mu Huo suddenly jumped onto the wall and blocked Cui Hengyue's path.
"Cui Hengyue, stop struggling, you can't run away."
Mu Huo stared at Cui Hengyue, his expression full of contempt.
Cui Hengyue stood on the top of the wall, looking down at the outside of the wall. The soldiers brought by Mu Huo all raised their knives to the top of the wall. They just waited for her to jump down and then started to chop people with their knives.
Looking around, there are officers and soldiers everywhere.
On top of the wall, there was Mu Huo in front of her and Mu Feng behind her. Both of them were top-notch masters. She couldn't defeat them alone, let alone the two of them working together.
And inside the wall is the backyard of Fulai Inn, where there are also dozens of strong men waiting to arrest her.
Just when Cui Hengyue didn't know how to escape, she saw a group of people suddenly rushing over from the outside, negotiating with the officers and soldiers.
Cui Hengyue's heart moved, could someone come to save her?
When Cui Hengyue was full of hope, someone ran from the outside to the wall and reported to Mu Huo: "General, the people of Prince Changshan reprimanded the officers and soldiers for blocking the road and asked the officers and soldiers to leave here."
Mu Feng frowned: "I don't know who leaked the news and summoned the county magistrate and people from Prince Changshan. General, I'll go take a look."
Hearing this, Cui Hengyue was overjoyed and waited for Mu Feng to leave before she broke through from Mu Feng's side.
However, Mu Feng did not leave after he finished speaking, but instead attacked Cui Hengyue like the wind.
At the same time, Mu Huo also attacked Cui Hengyue.
Cui Hengyue was shocked. In panic, she jumped off the wall and jumped into the backyard of Fulai Inn.
The strong men in the courtyard immediately surrounded Cui Hengyue and tightly surrounded him.
Seeing this, Mu Feng nodded to Mu Huo, jumped off the wall, and headed towards the outside.
"Ah - I will fight with you."
Cui Hengyue was so angry that he raised his spear and stabbed the strong men around him.
Mu Huo sat on the wall and watched the excitement leisurely. In his opinion, Cui Hengyue was already a turtle in the urn.
The waiter standing in the corner whispered to Shopkeeper Sun: "Shopkeeper, this little lady is also the master's savior after all. How can we let King Chu's people take her away?
"There are quite a few of us staying in the inn now, why not help the little lady break out?"
Shopkeeper Sun looked at Cui Hengyue, who was dealing with the strong man in front of him, and lowered his voice: "We only have twenty people left in the inn, how can we fight against the King of Chu's people?
"Besides, if the master tells the King of Chu's people about the whereabouts of the young lady, it means that the master has given up on her. We cannot reveal our identities for her."
"But..." This guy still couldn't believe that his master would betray his savior.
Another waiter quietly moved his steps to get as close to them as possible, his deep voice full of worry: "Shopkeeper, the master values love and justice, and he will never betray his savior.
"I guess the master must have encountered something extremely dangerous and had no choice but to reveal the whereabouts of the young lady. Maybe..."
At this point, his voice stopped suddenly, as if he didn't want to say the next words.
The waiter who had been urging shopkeeper Sun to save Cui Hengyue continued: "Maybe the master's life is in danger, otherwise he would never do this.
"Shopkeeper, the top priority is that we should gather people and go to Yunxuan Temple to rescue the master."
Hearing this, the other waiter nodded in agreement.
Shopkeeper Sun paused for a moment, and then he said calmly: "Don't get confused. The fact that Black Feather Ling didn't show up means that the master is not in danger of his life at the moment.
"The reason why the master revealed the whereabouts of the young lady must be difficult. I believe that with the master's ability, he will definitely avert the danger.
"Calm down, remember what the master said before. Don't act rashly without his order to avoid exposing your identity."
After admonishing the two of them, Shopkeeper Sun gave another instruction: "Pass the order, act as usual, and don't expose any flaws..."
After listening to the order, one of them quietly slipped out of the door.
Outside the wall, Mu Feng led his people to the outside, ignoring the people of Prince Changshan, and first asked Mingyang County Magistrate: "Why did you order officers and soldiers to surround this place?"
The Mingyang County Magistrate also just arrived. He wanted to see General Mu Huo, but he was stopped by others, so he had to let the officers and soldiers surround the place.
Although it was not General Mu Huo who came, the magistrate Mingyang was very disappointed, but Mu Feng was the personal bodyguard of the King of Chu, and he did not dare to look down upon him.
"Mingyang Town is located at the foot of Hengshan Mountain, not far from Yunxuan Temple. Thanks to the protection of King Chu over the years, the people can live and work in peace and contentment.
"I heard that a fugitive had sneaked into the Fulai Inn in Mingyang Town and alerted General Mu. I was frightened, so I led my officers and soldiers to capture the fugitive and make the merits of the crime a crime."
Sure enough, someone tipped off the news and fabricated rumors.
Mu Feng's face darkened: "That's nonsense. There are no fugitives sneaking into Mingyang Town. We are not here to capture fugitives, we are just dealing with family matters.
"If you don't disperse quickly, if you disturb the people's sentiments, we will question you."
Hearing this, the Mingyang County Magistrate turned pale, bent down and said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I will ask them to step back..."
"What a loud tone!"
An inappropriate voice sounded.
The next moment, the surrounding officers and soldiers retreated to both sides. Song Mu came out from behind and looked at Mu Feng coldly: "When did the government affairs of Mingyang Town fall under the control of the King of Chu?"
Mu Feng secretly thought that it was not good and he could not let the Changshan County Prince's people take advantage of it, so he hurriedly said: "The King of Chu has been away from the court for many years, so the government affairs of Mingyang Town are naturally not under the control of the King of Chu.
