Chapter 398 401 Timing
Shen Mu crawled back to the bank of the canal, came to sit down beside Xu Ziling who was hiding in the darkness at the foot of the bridge, gave a thumbs up and said, "Young Master Ling is awesome, he can see more accurately than me, a little master of organ learning. There are more than a dozen round holes in the shape of a square. Water flows into them. After the water fills the space below, the round holes are closed again. It is so ingenious that you can’t believe it. Master Lu must have used water power to activate a certain place. mechanism, and open the secret passage.”

Xu Ziling said: "So we are only half successful. We have to find the real entrance of the secret path before we have a chance to go in and explore. Alas! I'm really worried that your mechanical knowledge is not good enough. If you are so tired that you are trapped in the ground, you will have to beat the wall Calling for help would be the most ridiculous joke in history."

Shen Muxian was in a good mood, and said with a smile: "Auspicious people have their own celestial features. Sigh! I can't wait for a moment, why don't I go to Xiji Garden to have a look. The thing I regret the most now is to stop it for the time being. her asthma."

Xu Ziling said: "Haste makes waste. The only thing you should do now is to go back to Sha Mansion to have a good sleep, recharge your energy, and pretend to be a miracle doctor tomorrow to serve Mrs. You."

Shen Mu said helplessly: "Then where are you going? If the secret den is no longer a secret den, then you are homeless?"

Xu Ziling said: "I will go to Gao Zhan Dao to appease their hearts and prevent them from becoming the target of the enemy."

Shen Mu reluctantly stared hard at the canal at the bottom of the bridge for a few times, and said, "Tomorrow I will find the real entrance to the secret passage, and at night I will bring wine to the treasure house to drink with you to celebrate victory."

Xu Ziling sighed secretly, thinking that it was too early to say the truth, because the troubles had just begun.

The next day, when Shen Mu woke up in the morning, the first thing he thought of was the Xiji Garden of the Duhu Clan. He hurriedly got up, washed and changed his clothes, and was about to sneak out of the Sha Mansion before Sha Tiannan and others got up. The courtyard square intercepts.She tried to ride a very handsome gray horse under the escort of several nurses, but she did not see Chen Laiman and Mao Shichang, the two leaders of the nurse, who might have accompanied Er Shaosha to successfully search for firearms.

Seeing Shen Mu, Sha Zhijing happily shouted, "Mr. Mo, how about my horse?"

It was the first time Shen Mu saw her put on a samurai uniform. Although she was still not heroic, she was more than charming.

Seeing Sha Zhijing's pretty face flushed after hearing the words, she remembered her identity as an ugly genius doctor, and secretly cursed for being confused.

Sha Zhijing pulled the horse's head under the nursing yard with a resemblance, swayed off the horse, came to him shyly, gave him a hard look and said: "It turns out that Mr. Mo is not only good at medicine, but also good at teasing people. Mr. Mo is about to travel far, and many people in Chang'an will be very disappointed."

Shen Mu avoided her gaze, looked at the clear sky after a day of heavy snow, and said, "A year later, half a year sooner, I will go back to Chang'an to visit the master and miss."

Sha Zhijing slightly annoyed: "I left just after Chinese New Year, can't I stay for a while? Zhijing hasn't had the chance to ask Mr. about medical issues, he is your apprentice."

The last sentence was full of coquetry, and it was the first time Sha Zhijing had said it.

Shen Mu didn't suspect that Sha Zhijing, like Duhufeng, fell in love with his ugly genius doctor, and said, "This horse is amazing, where did it come from?"

Sha Zhijing moved lightly to the side of the horse, and lovingly stretched out her slender hands to caress the horse's head, forming a moving picture of a beautiful horse.He smiled sweetly and said, "This Turkic horse, I renamed it 'Xiao Fei', and it was a gift from my elder brother."

Shen Mu lost his voice: "What?"

Sha Zhijing was stunned and said, "Is there a problem?"

Shen Mu almost held his head in pain, thinking to himself, could it be that Dazhi coveted Sha Zhijing's beauty?Thinking that the second young master Sha Chenggong would spare no effort to destroy any ambitions of Dazhi towards Sha Zhijing, he felt a little relieved.He said: "No problem, it's just that Miss Fifth knows Dazhi."

Sha Zhijing said: "Concubine Dong Gui introduced us to each other, but elder brother is a great hero, he fought all Turkic invincibles before coming to the Central Plains."

Shen Mu thought that these inaccurate information must be Dong Shuni's bragging for Dazhi and Sha Zhijing, otherwise no matter how arrogant Dazhi is, she would not dare to say that she is better than the "Wu Zun" Bi Xuan, who is ranked among the three great masters in the world.

What does Dong Shuni have in mind for Sha Zhijing?
He has no time to take care of himself, and has neither the time nor the leisure to deal with such "nosy things", but he ignores them and feels uneasy, which is very contradictory.

This kind of high-quality war horse is worth a thousand gold, which is obviously a great gift.

The young master Sha Chengchao chased him out from the house at this time and said, "Mr. Mo wants to go out?"

Seeing that everyone in the Sha family was so nervous about his departure, Shen Mu felt touched, nodded and said, "I'm going to treat Mrs. Dugu's asthma, I'll talk about it when I come back."

Sha Zhijing happily said: "I haven't paid New Year's greetings to the old lady yet, Zhijing and Mister will go together!"

Shen Mu screamed for a headache again, but fortunately Sha Chengcheng said: "Did Zhijing forget to accompany her mother to the Todai Temple to offer incense today?"

Sha Zhijing pursed her lips, and apologized to Shen Mu: "Zhijing can't go with sir!"

Shen Mu applauded in his heart, declined Sha Cheng's suggestion of providing a carriage because the distance was not far away, and stepped out of the gate of Sha's house.

The atmosphere of the New Year is still on the street, and there are endless firecrackers.

The sound of hooves came from behind.

Shen Mu didn't need to look back to guess who it was. Sure enough, surrounded by several Turkic knights, Da Zhi came to him and said with a smile, "I wish Mr. Mo all the best and a better year."

Shen Mu turned his head and looked up at the young Turkic expert who was sitting high on the horse and riding slowly beside him, and put on a wry smile and said, "Hi brother, but the situation of the younger brother is not good. What good advice can I give you?"

Seeing his expression, Dazhi was sure that Lei Jiuzhi was still suffering from the death penalty of "seven needles restraining the gods", so he calmed down and said: "The misery of the miracle doctor is only a temporary thing. We Turkic people have a saying, that is, after the snowstorm. The grass grows very strong, sir, do you have time to meet someone with Dazhi?"

Shen Mu frowned suddenly, pretending to be puzzled, and asked, "Do you Turks have proverbs like 'helping others is fun'? What good is it to you to cultivate a super master of the magic sect for nothing?"

Da Zhi smiled calmly and said, "I admire people who are as frank as Mr., you can rest assured, Mr., we have our own measure."

Shen Mu shrugged and said: "I have done my duty to remind my friends, but brother, please lead the way."

Da Dazhi gave an order to give up an empty horse for Shen Mu to travel.

The riders turned their horses and walked slowly towards the hotel.

Shen Mu and Dazhi rode side by side, and said with a smile, "If someone asks my younger brother, why did you go to the hotel with Brother Ke, how should you answer?"

Dazhi laughed and said: "Speaking of this ability, a certain person is really beyond the reach. But to be consistent, of course, Mr. said that he went to a foreign hotel to treat a man named Yan Sude. He just fell ill yesterday. Actually, His Royal Highness has also heard about this matter."

Shen Mu screamed loudly, and Zhao Deyan's thoughtfulness must not be underestimated.

I am smart in big things, but confused in small things, so there are flaws in the treasured sword.

Da Zhi looked at him and said, "Sir, you haven't thanked me yet?"

Shen Mu said in astonishment: "But what did brother do to benefit the younger brother?"

Dazhi said, "If someone hadn't taken the lead yesterday, Mister might never leave the Holy Temple of Persia!"

Shen Mu thought to himself that it doesn't matter if you want to be the first and I will be the second, whoever is higher and who is lower will always see the truth in the future.He smiled and said: "Brother, brother, of course I am grateful for the concession, but I am used to hiding my gratitude to others in my heart, which caused my brother to misunderstand."

Da Zhi couldn't figure out whether Shen Mu was really grateful or was mocking him, so he didn't say any more.

Shen Muqibing protruded: "Brother, do you like to give away famous horses from your country every time you meet a beautiful girl?"

Da Zhiwei was stunned, looked at him with shining eyes, and said in a deep voice: "But someone has a word to give to Mr., that is, 'Don't worry about business', don't say that someone didn't make a statement in advance."

Shen Mu laughed dumbly and said: "Brother, it seems that I haven't figured out who I am. The last sentence, brother, can you give me a little face on this matter."

Dazhi looked in front of the horse's head, his eyes fell on the end of the long street, and he was looking at the inner gate. After a moment of silence, he shook his head and said, "Sir, don't you also know what kind of person I am? Dazhi can do whatever he wants , will never be swayed by the interference of others."

The eyes of the two met, and they both saw the fleeting murderous intent in the other's eyes.

Shen Mu followed Dazhi into the foreign hotel, walked through the lobby, and saw all the Turkic people along the way, who looked like they had been beaten twice, but all of them showed respect for Dazhi.

Stepping onto the corridor leading to the inner courtyard, Dazhi's men did not follow behind, and the two of them walked along the corridor.

There was no one around, and it was very quiet.

Da Dazhi said: "The young commander is really courageous, do you believe that if we turn our backs and do something, we still have the confidence to break through?"

Shen Mu smiled and said: "Confidence is necessary, but whether you are smart or not is another matter. I just judged that you will not be so stupid. What good will it do for you now?"

Da Zhi laughed dumbly and said: "We can capture the young commander, and the young commander should know that we have a way to make any tough guy submit."

Shen Mu said: "It's possible to kill me, but it's absolutely impossible to capture me alive. But brother, do you want to try it?"

Dazhi's eyes flashed sharply, and then turned away, and said coldly: "It's a pity that today everything is decided by Yan Shuai, otherwise someone will play with the young commander first, it must be very enjoyable."

Shen Mu's heart and hands itched at the same time, and he said with great interest: "Brother's proposal is really amusing, why don't I take the initiative to propose it to Yan Shuai, as long as the agreement does not hurt the other party's life, it should be fine."

It was the first time for Da Zhishang to meet a person who was eager to challenge him, but he hesitated instead, not because he was afraid of Shen Mu, but because he knew his own business, once he made a formidable attack, there was no possibility of keeping his hand.He sighed: "It's really not suitable for a martial arts competition today, otherwise the young general suddenly lost an arm, how can he explain it to His Highness the Prince? But the same is true for someone."

Shen Mu also knew that business matters are important, and it is not appropriate to have side effects.In fact, he had made up his mind in his heart to take the opportunity to take Dazhi's life in order to weaken Zhao Deyan's strength, but the deeper reason was because of Sha Zhijing.

With Zhao Deyan's character, he would not recklessly retaliate against Dazhi because of his death, and even give up the evil emperor relic.

Although Dazhi regards Shen Mu as a strong enemy, he actually doesn't have much ill feeling towards Shen Mu, who would have thought that Shen Mu would kill him.

Shen Mu secretly cried out that it's a pity that Dazhi can't be forced to fight recklessly immediately.

Dazhi turned left and turned into a gravel road passing through the backyard. Among the trees covered with icicles, there was a hidden building with a backyard wall behind it, and the environment was quiet.

The tall, slender Zhao Deyan stood on the steps outside Zhuo with his hands behind his back, and looked at Shen Mu through his eyes that were as sharp as knives. chilling.

Shen Mu met his gaze without giving in, a challenging smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he stretched out his hand to remove the mask, laughed, and said proudly: "You're the one. Stop gossiping, if you, Zhao Deyan, want to get the holy relic, Immediately undo the sorcery that was cast on my brother, or else nothing will be said."

Zhao Deyan, who was still two feet away, gave a thumbs up and praised: "Okay! Heroes are young! Although I have seen thousands of people, I have never seen a character like Marshal Kou who is as sudden as a dragon or a tiger. No wonder so few Handsome can rule the world, turn one's hand into cloud, turn one's hand into rain. It's just that I, Zhao Deyan, never trust people easily. May I ask the young commander for any suggestions to make me believe that after saving people, the young commander can keep his promise and hand over the holy relic."

Shen Mu strode towards him, but Da Zhi stopped and stayed behind, not following.

On the surface, Zhao Deyan did not see the slightest movement, but Shen Mu knew that he was on guard with all his strength, and his aura rose to the peak in an instant, but this kind of skill was definitely above the other evil masters Shen Mu had encountered, reaching the level of Zhu Yuyan .

The murderous drama flourishes.With a lot of energy, Zhao Deyan rushed towards Shen Mu like waves.

Shen Mu stopped abruptly, mustered his energy, and resisted Zhao Deyan's astonishing pressure.

The two confronted each other ten feet apart, refusing to give in to each other.The atmosphere tensed immediately, and there was a tendency to explode.

Da Zhi, who was watching from behind, had a fiery look in his eyes. After he arrived in the Central Plains, it was the first time he had met such an outstanding person like Shen Mu who was so domineering, sharp-edged, and always trying to gain the upper hand.

Shen Mu's tiger eyes shot a fierce divine light, Yuan Tingyue stood upright proudly, and calmly said: "Yan Shuai's hands and feet on my brother Lei Jiuzhi are sinister and vicious, how do I know if I will save him in the future? What aftereffects. So if Yan Shuai doesn't save people first, nothing will happen."

Zhao Deyan nodded and said: "Young Marshal's words make sense. But the matter is of great importance, and the Young Marshal is by no means such a willing and submissive person. How dare I not guard against the Young Marshal. Although I, Zhao Deyan, am not a kind and trustworthy man, I have never disdained benevolence, righteousness and morality. It's a hypocritical statement, but he is an eloquent person. As long as the young commander sends the person and the holy relic at the same time before the evening of Xu, I can guarantee that as long as Brother Lei rests for a few months, he will fully recover."

Shen Mu was secretly happy, knowing that his bluff had worked, which convinced Zhao Deyan that Lei Jiuzhi was still restrained by the "seven needles controlling the gods".

Back suddenly.

Zhao Deyan shook his body, his evil sharp eyes finally showed surprise.

You must know that the two people are facing each other and restraining each other, so it is not easy to escape.

But before retreating, Shen Mu flashed to the left and right at lightning speed, and then escaped like a fish breaking free from a fishing net, showing his superb agility and wisdom.

Shen Mu dared to be sure that Xiang Yushan was hiding in the house and listening to the conversation between him and Zhao Deyan, so as to distinguish the authenticity of what he said for Zhao Deyan.

There should be other Turkic fighters in the house, such as Kang Shea Li. If Xiangyushan judged that Lei Jiuzhi had been unlocked the "seven-needle control god" magic, he would notify Zhao Deyan immediately and immediately use his entire army to capture Shen Mu alive. .This is of course a last resort.

That's a master's intuition.

Seeing that he was silent, Zhao Deyan thought he was undecided, and said solemnly: "The young commander is worried that we will not keep our word because he doesn't understand our true position. As far as we East Turks are concerned, anyone who opposes Li Shimin People, we will definitely support you.”

Shen Mu was amused in his heart, and secretly scolded Zhao Deyan as a fool, just because of his relationship with Tuli Khan, the Eastern Turkic Xieli Khan already hated him to the bone.

Jieli would support Liu Wuzhou, Liang Shidu, even Wang Shichong and Xiao Xian, but he would never support Shen Mu.Because no one in the world knows that Shen Mu can only dominate people, and will never be dominated by them.What Jieli wanted was an obedient puppet to carry out his plot to invade the Central Plains.In the history of the Central Plains, the delusions of foreigners in the Northwest to invade the Central Plains have never stopped. The only question is whether they have the strength to invade.

Until now, he still doesn't know the relationship between Zhao Deyan and Xiangyushan.Assuming that the Xiang family fully invests in the East Turks, Xieli can immediately grasp all the latest variable developments in the Central Plains, which was unimaginable before.

In the past, Xieli could only place people in major cities in the Central Plains, and the information he got would not be extremely confidential, and most of them were just hearsay.However, since the era of the Xiang Family's fight against Yang Guang, it is because they operate brothels and gambling halls, and secretly sell women, and their minions are everywhere, so their intelligence network is complete, and they dare to boast that they are unparalleled in the world.If Jieli gets Xianggui's father and son to become his eyes and ears, it is certainly not the same.

Therefore, no matter from any angle, he must completely eradicate the influence of the Xiang family.

Shen Mu began to understand why Xiangyushan participated in the conspiracy against Li Shimin.

He watched Zhao Deyan's eyes brighten, and said word by word: "I will believe in my words. If Yan Shuai breaks his promise, I swear here that I will retaliate at all costs and by any means."

Zhao Deyan's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and then he closed it. He obviously restrained his anger, and said with a sad smile: "Young commander, don't worry. I say one is one, and two is two, otherwise how can we command the army and convince the masses?"

Dazhi reminded from the back: "Whenever the young commander sends people and the holy relic, we will cast spells to save people. Don't be later than the day after tomorrow, or the gods of Daluo will be powerless."

Shen Mu snorted coldly, pretending to be deeply upset and helpless, and turned around to leave.

Zhao Deyan, who turned into the rear, raised his voice: "Young commander, please leave with peace of mind, Deyan will not give you away! The long sword has been returned to its original place, please check it, young commander."

Shen Mu secretly sighed in his heart, if Xu Ziling hadn't been lucky enough to rescue Lei Jiuzhi back, and his concubine Xuan knew the way to relieve the punishment, he would have been hurt this time, and he would be powerless to fight back.

In the final analysis, the problem lies with Xiang Yushan.Although his martial arts are mediocre, his insidious cunning is better than his extraordinary skills.

He will send "Thunder Nine Fingers", then Xiangyushan will be in charge like this time, and that will be the best time to kill him!
