Chapter 60
The night was dark and windy, with heavy snow falling.

Four fast horses broke through the heavy snow and rushed towards Chang'an City.

"Quickly open the city gate! Duke Lu is ordered to meet you! This is the token!" Jia Er held up the token high.

The bamboo basket was put down, and when the token was placed in it, the bamboo basket was hoisted up.

The gate on the city wall was inspected carefully with a torch.When he confirmed the token, he saw one of the four people holding a big "Lu" flag and shouted loudly:
"Quick! Open the side door! Duke Lu is ordered to enter the palace."

The fast horses flashed into the city gate, and the four riders quickly entered Chang'an City and ran towards Chang'an Palace.

A soldier at the city gate expressed doubts: "Huh? Duke Lu was ordered to meet him. Shouldn't he go to Taiji Palace? Why did he go to the direction of Chang'an Palace?"

Cheng Menlang gave him a hard look, and scolded: "Do you know who tends to die early? People who think they have a pair of eyes and a mouth."

When the soldier heard this, he was frightened and caught.

Yes, what if His Majesty is in Chang'an Palace at this time?

The gangsters heard the words I yelled rashly, will they go to besiege Chang'an Palace now and put the emperor to death?
If that's the case, he will be copied and beheaded by the whole family.

The soldier quickly bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

Cheng Menlang snorted coldly and turned away.

When he passed by a soldier standing guard, he whispered, "Go to Uncle Yuan's mansion, hurry up!"

"Here!"

The man agreed, and hurriedly ran towards the city gate stairs.

Ni Tu really dislikes driving at night...uh...riding horses at night.

Not only was my head groggy, but I also made my back hurt and my legs cramp.

Still running in this rainy and snowy weather.

This kind of weather is the easiest way for cold air to invade the bone marrow.

That's how moisture comes in.

Helpless, Lu Guogong personally went to the bed and dragged himself, so he could only wrap up his coat tightly and followed him to Chang'an.

After running for three hours, his body has already been frozen stiff.

What surprised Ni Tu was that Mu Guizi, Cheng Yaojin's guard, also followed him.

What made Ni Tu even more strange was that Cheng Yaojin actually brought Mu Guizi into the palace, but he didn't bring himself.

Mu Guizi seemed to feel ashamed, but stepped back after stepping to the palace gate, and asked Ni Tu: "Wen Linlang, you said that the eldest grandson's family will be exterminated from now on, is that true?"

Ni Tu was a little annoyed, how many secrets he talked about after drinking, probably enough to reduce his life by a hundred years.

But seeing the solemn expression on Mu Guizi's face, which seemed to have a sense of righteousness, Ni Tu said seriously, "Indeed, the longest time is not more than ten years."

When Mu Guizi heard this, a trace of joy flashed in his eyes.He clasped his fists and bowed deeply towards Ni Tu.

Ni Tu didn't know what happened to this kid tonight, but he suddenly became obsessed, so he returned the gift formally.

After Mu Guizi saluted, he turned around and walked into the palace gate.

Ni Tu was a little moved by that resolute look.

"Is this guy sick?"

Ni Tu asked Jia Er beside him.

Jia Er nodded, "Maybe, I should buy him a coffin."

"so serious?"

"Indeed! He's seriously ill." Jia Er nodded, extremely resolute.

"No, I'm just saying it casually."

"If you just said it casually, saving one person is considered a great achievement."

"What's dead, but saved again, Jia Er, I think you're sick too." Ni Tu yawned, put his hands into his cuffs, and looked around for a hotel.

"Yeah, I'm sick too, so I'm going to buy a coffin."

"Go ahead and negotiate a good price with the shopkeeper. It's best to let him buy one and get two free, and I will prepare it for you and me early. Don't make it to the point of abandoning the wilderness."

Really too sleepy, Ni Tu wandered towards the gate tower.He hoped to receive a bed, and some quilts.

Jia Er shook his head, turned around and ran towards the street.

Half asleep and half awake, Ni Tu smiled bitterly, and muttered to himself: "I don't know if I've acted foolishly just now."

Just after dawn, Jia Er carried a good coffin into Chang'an Palace.

A quarter of an hour before going to court, Li Zhi got the news: Li Ke hanged himself in Chang'an Palace.

Li Zhi heard the pain and shed tears, waved his hands and said to Huangmen: "Today rests."

Jia Er accompanied Lu Guogong to help the coffin, but sent Mu Guizi out alone.

"Wen Linlang, Duke Lu has an order to hurry back to the camp."

Looking at Mu Guizi whose face was sinking like water, Ni Tu scratched his head.

When I entered Chang'an Palace in the morning, I felt impassioned.When he came out, he was full of spirits. I really don't know what kind of nerve this Mu Guizi committed.

However, Ni Tu still understood the whole story from the very different temperaments before and after.

It's rare to pretend to be deaf and dumb, which is the true deed of great wisdom and foolishness.

The two had just walked out of Chang'an Palace with their horses.

A group of people rushed in in a mighty staggered manner.

Seeing the support no less than that of the emperor, Mu Guizi said flatly: "Eldest grandson!"

Ni Tu went to look at him again, but he turned up his scarf to cover half of his face.

Walking on the edge of the Qinling Mountains, a group of people came galloping from the direction of Chang'an.

Seeing this, Mu Guizi hurriedly scolded Ni Tu for pulling his horse and fleeing into the mountain stream.

Some of the bends in the river were not frozen because they were backed by the shade of the mountains, and there was no snow on the river bank.

However, some sandstones were exposed.

The horse was tired and came to the river to drink water.

Looking at the wide river in front of him, Ni Tu suddenly realized, isn't the river in front of him the mother river of China—the Yellow River?However, the Yellow River at this time is so clear that you can see the sand and rocks at the bottom of the river at a glance, and some small fish are still swimming freely.

"You have to help me find a secluded place to hide!"

This tone is simply the tone of the chief ordering the servants.

Ni Tu pulled out the dagger and stuck it in the sand in front of him.

"Didn't you hear?" Mu Guizi asked again.

Ni Tu snorted coldly: "Presumptuous! How dare a small soldier talk to his chief like that?"

After Ni Tu finished speaking, he continued to pull out the dagger, and then slammed it into the sand again.

Vent the uneasiness and resentment in my heart.

What kind of crime did I do, that I sent a living person to hang myself instead of others because of a single sentence!

Didn't I kill someone indirectly!
"What a golden cicada has escaped its shell! Do you think King Wu can survive if someone else dies? King Wu is already dead! In less than a day, the emperor will issue an edict to bury the King Wu lying in the coffin! Your children and grandchildren! The person who needs to worship and kowtow every year is the person lying in the coffin, not you! King Wu was born physically, but his political career is over! Do you understand? You still have an awe-inspiring demeanor, what are you pretending to be like with me!"

Mu Guizi was also discouraged.

From the high-spirited appearance before, he became dejected.

"Wen Linlang, Duke Lu has an order that you must try to hide me."

"Hiding? Where are you going to hide? Is this the king's land in this world? You can escape the first day of the junior high school, but you can't escape the fifteenth day. Where can you escape?"

"Lu Guogong said that you must have a way!"

"A solution? What can I do?"

At this time, a horse neighing was suddenly heard above the mountain stream.

Ni Tu and Mu Guizi led the horses and hid in the hollow of the hill to prevent people on the shore from finding them.
