The protagonist of fast time travel Halo Crusher

Chapter 224 Let’s Forgive the Lord Hat (33)

Lin Mu recalled his previous speculation: "Is there really a connection between the Shadow Gate and King Qi?"

Zhao Mu thought about it for a long time: "Many years ago, maybe King Qi really wanted to cooperate with the Shadow Sect to rebel."

"Thank you." Lin Mu suddenly said thank you.

Zhao Mu was puzzled: "What?"

Lin Mu said: "Thank you for not telling Chu Mo this. In his heart, King Qi is like a father, and Emperor Chen is a villain through and through. He framed King Qi. If Chu Mo knew that King Qi really had He doesn't know how sad he should be because of treason."

"Let Your Majesty feel like this forever." Zhao Mu didn't know what he thought of, and his worry became heavier.

Lin Mu continued to inquire: "Zhao Mu, why did you hijack me? What does the Shadow Gate want to use me for? Could it be possible to exchange Chu Mo and me for jade seals?"

"To Your Majesty, you are more important than the country. Can the Shadow Gate not hijack you?" Zhao Mu's words were the same as if he hadn't said anything. Lin Mu still didn't know the real intention of the Shadow Gate.

She started brainstorming.

Chu Mo once told her that the Shadow Sect robbed the edict because they wanted the mantis to catch the cicada and the oriole behind.

Since they were going to use Emperor Chen's imperial edict to pull Chu Mo off his horse, they would definitely support a person who changed his name to be justified.

Chu Xi was accused of treason, but if he didn't die, the case might be overturned, and the Shadow Gate would be dishonest, so now they want to kill Chu Xi.

Hijacking himself, could it be that he forced Chu Mo to kill Chu Xi?
A bit far-fetched.

The person supported by the Shadow Gate must not be Chu Mo or Chu Xi. The remaining three princes are most likely to be the eldest prince Chu Han.

Are you exchanging yourself for the First Prince?
That's not right, they just need to set up the eldest prince's sign. Anyway, they are supporting a puppet and they don't really have feelings for the eldest prince.

Will the eldest prince who was deprived of the right to inherit the throne early on be the final winner?

Now the story is not going according to the plot, and she doesn't know if Chu Mo can win against the Shadow Gate, and she doesn't know who will win the throne in the end.

But no matter how the Shadow Sect arranges the road to fight for the throne, it seems to make no difference whether or not they have it.

Perhaps, there is another possibility.

The Shadow Gate knew that there was a treasure map hidden in the imperial edict, and they also needed money to win the throne, and they needed that treasure.But they couldn't find the decryption method, so they arrested themselves and forced Chu Mo to give the solution.

This speculation seems the most reasonable.

Lin Mu deliberately asked Zhao Mu: "Zhao Mu, did the Shadow Gate get the treasure?"

Zhao Mu was stunned for a moment, as if he was thinking about his reaction, "What treasure?"

Lin Mu understood that the Shadow Sect already knew about the treasure. If they only thought it was an ordinary edict, Zhao Mu would never hesitate. The moment he hesitated, he was reacting and pretending.

Since Zhao Mu was pretending, she simply pretended that she hadn't discovered anything, "That's it, there's no treasure, I'm just talking nonsense."

Forget it, it doesn't matter if you don't understand, then prepare to run away. No matter what he wants to do, there is nothing wrong with running away.

Zhao Mu has made up her mind that she will not betray her, but she cannot allow herself to be taken to the Shadow Gate to threaten Chu Mo.

She has to escape.

Zhao Mu, the kidnapper, feels guilty about himself, so he won't go too far, and he has loopholes to take advantage of.

When sleeping at night, Zhao Mu drove the carriage closer to the fire, and then asked Lin Mu to sleep in the carriage, while he guarded the fire.

Lin Mu obediently agreed.

In fact, she wanted to slip away when Zhao Mu was taking a nap, and she didn't believe that Zhao Mu could keep staring like copper bells for a whole night.

One night passed.

Obviously, Zhao Mu ruled all kinds of dissatisfaction.

Lin Mu had two big dark circles under his eyes, while Zhao Mu hadn't slept all night, still looking radiant.

Zhao Mu started to drive the car.

The mountain road was bumpy, and Lin Mu wanted to pry open the back of the carriage while Zhao Mu was not paying attention, and then slipped away.

But she quickly gave up.

This carriage was specially made and fit perfectly, there was no place to pry it open.

She had no choice but to shout: "Zhao Mu, I want to go to the toilet."

Zhao Mu stopped the carriage, and Lin Mu got his wish and got farther and farther away from him.

She squatted in the grass, ready to run.

Suddenly, she discovered an important thing, she didn't know where it was, she didn't have fresh water and dry food on her body, she didn't have any ability to survive in the wild, and she couldn't tell east, west, south, north.

If you can't get out, you can only die here.

Lin Mu gave up, she ran away now, the probability of failure or even death was too high.

Get back on the wagon.

Zhao Mu seemed to see her restlessness, and persuaded her: "Princess, in the wilderness, you'd better follow me closely, otherwise poisonous snakes and beasts will come and go, it's really not safe. And don't worry, the Shadow Gate will never kill you , His Majesty will definitely take you home."

"I see." Lin Mu resigned to his fate and leaned on the carriage to catch up on sleep.

She didn't give up on running away, but at least she got to the town before running away.

It took another two days before Lin Mu saw the town.

However, before she had time to plan her escape, someone new took over.

The maid of the Shadow Gate was so strong that she roughly dragged her into the house, then tied her up and threw her on the couch.

After a while, the maid came in with a bowl of medicine.

Without any explanation, he poured it into Lin Mu's mouth.

Lin Mu didn't want to drink it, he choked so much that his nose and throat were full of it, and even his lungs were very uncomfortable.

"Stop coughing." The maid said viciously, "It's not poison, it's just soft tendons that prevent you from escaping. You don't want to be tied up here forever, do you?"

Lin Mu was helpless, she didn't want to cough, it was because the maid was too rough in feeding the medicine.

After a while, the strength of the medicine came up, and she felt weak all over.

The maid untied the rope from Lin Mu's body.

Lin Mu tried to move her hands and feet. She wanted to get out of bed, but her feet seemed to disappear.

"Oh." As soon as her feet touched the ground, she knelt down on the ground.

"Don't waste your efforts." The maid said coldly, "If you are hit by this weak tendon, just stay in bed peacefully."

Lin Mu doesn't like the current feeling very much. She has become a meat ticket, trapped here, and has no initiative at all.

She thought for a while and told the maid, "Go and tell your sect master, I know the secret of the treasure. Ask him to come and see me in person."

"You..." The maid obviously didn't expect Rou Piao to have so many thoughts.

Lin Mu glared at her, pretending to be aggressive: "Hurry up and report it, I missed a big deal, and your sect wants you to come and see me."

The maid thought for a moment and went anyway.

In fact, Lin Mu was very flustered, she didn't know the secret of the edict at all, it was all nonsense.

But the sect master seemed to believe it, he really came to see Lin Mu.

"Do you know the secret of the treasure?" The door master of the Shadow Gate wore a silver mask, his voice was deep and hoarse, he didn't sound young, he was probably about 50 years old.
