Chapter 14

Xie xuanchen looks up and looks at her strangely. After reacting, Mu Mingtang quickly waved his hand: "don't get me wrong. I haven't used it. I just learn to prepare for a rainy day. Anyway, it's ok now. Don't hold too much hope. I'll try. "

In fact, Xie xuanchen doesn't believe it. The shackles of the imperial temple prison are not so easy to open. But Xie xuanchen is not very good at dealing with women. He couldn't deal with his mother at that time. Now Mu Mingtang is embarrassed to refuse.

Xie xuanchen stretched out his right hand and let Mu Mingtang toss. Mu Mingtang saw that he stopped in the air with one hand, so the heavy handcuffs were all supported by his one arm strength. Mu Mingtang was tired when he looked at them and said, "Lord, if you don't put them on the bed, I'll just sit on the foot and open them."

"Nothing." Xie xuanchen does not think, "you do your line."

Temper really stubborn, Mu Mingtang did not speak, nodded: "OK."

Mu Mingtang made trouble for himself, but Xie xuanchen didn't even bother to look at it. He said, "the lock of the imperial court is not so easy to open. I need to pay more attention to this one. It's all made of black iron. The lock cylinder inside is specially made. There are only two keys in the world, which can't be imitated. They have to be used together to open. Ordinary thieves just pry the folk lock. How can the imperial lock be opened. They haven't seen such a lock. I don't know... "

At this time, there was a faint click. Mu Mingtang quickly held the handcuffs and said, "I opened it."

Xie xuanchen's words didn't end. Although he dreamed of breaking away from the shackles, he was the son of a high official. He had been in touch with the court since he was a child, and he had a kind of inexplicable trust in the court. It's just the ordinary people's lock that the folk thieves open. How can the imperial court open the lock.

Mu Mingtang's words are all finished, but Xie xuanchen hasn't responded yet. Mu Mingtang holding iron handcuffs is very hard, Xie xuanchen is too surprised, did not respond to come over for her.

Mu Mingtang slowly puts the iron ring on the bed. Xie xuanchen's hand is light. He looks down at his wrist and still feels unbelievable.

"You..."

Mu Mingtang was very modest with a smile: "I'm not very good at it. I just have a try. I didn't expect to try it out. "

In order to take care of Xie xuanchen's sensitive heart, Mu Mingtang specially said that he was very humble. In fact, the experts are in the folk, especially the craftsmen. They are all in the market.

That's the old thief who taught her to unlock. Xiangyang City broken, we all have no capital to survive, can only rush north. The old thief didn't want to teach at first, but when he got to the middle of the road, he was afraid that he couldn't survive, and his family skills were cut off, so he reluctantly taught Mu Mingtang.

In the old thief's words: "old thief, I don't expect you to carry it forward, and you won't be my descendant in the future. I was afraid of losing my craft, so I taught you this outsider. It's not my business whether you use it or not. "

Unexpectedly, Mu Mingtang was used in this place, which is also a miracle.

Xie xuanchen stared at her for a long time without blinking. Suddenly he reached out and said, "give me something."

"What?"

"The tool you use to unlock the lock."

Mu Mingtang quickly presents the thin gold wire in his hand. Xie xuanchen takes it in his hand and looks around. Seeing that he looked carefully, Mu Mingtang put his face together with pride and said, "it's made of pure gold. I twisted it from jewelry."

Is this the problem of gold? Xie xuanchen suspiciously glances at Mu Mingtang, and puts the handcuffs back on him. He takes the thin gold wire to try out the keyhole.

"How do you drive it?"

"It's very simple. When you go inside, you can feel the position of the marbles. If you play with the hard marbles, the effective marbles will be leveled off."

Xie xuanchen fiddled with it for a long time, but nothing happened. He was confused and asked, "there are several beads in it. Which one?"

"The tough ones."

Is it exciting? This is what to describe, Xie xuanchen tried for a long time, still feel that all beads are the same. If Xie xuanchen had not seen it with his own eyes, he would have suspected that Mu Mingtang was playing with him. Xie xuanchen tried again for a long time, and all of them declared failure. He handed the gold wire to Mu Mingtang and stared at her tightly: "come again."

"Oh." Mu Mingtang should a, say to want to move the iron ring on the bed. Xie xuanchen suddenly stopped her, put another hand over: "try this."

Mu Mingtang has no opinion. The two lock cylinders are really different. The inner structure is very complicated. Mu Mingtang moved the marbles slowly and calculated the position of several marbles. At last, he didn't know where he hit them, and there was a slight click.

This time, there is no need for mu Mingtang to say that Xie xuanchen also feels that the lock has been opened. He broke off the black iron ring with his own hands and could not speak for a moment.

Xie xuanchen didn't speak, and Mu Mingtang didn't dare. After a while, she said in a low voice, "it's really my first time to unlock a lock. I haven't tried before."

Mu Mingtang's original intention is to explain, but Xie xuanchen listens and feels more complicated. He sighed and suddenly asked, "what was your family's business before?"

"Antiques. Vase, porcelain, calligraphy and painting, all made some. "

"Then how can you unlock the lock?""I learned it on the road with a thief."

I went to school on the road, not from childhood. Xie xuanchen sighed and gave up completely to compete with Mu Mingtang.

"All right, you can open the other two according to your feeling."

After Mu Mingtang opened the lock, he stood at the foot of the bed and looked at Xie xuanchen. Suddenly, he did not dare to speak. They were silent for a long time. Finally, Mu Mingtang whispered, "Lord, the lock is open. Do you want to get up and walk?"

This pair of handcuffs chain is the evil Zheng that he can't forget in his coma, but at this moment, Xie xuanchen suddenly dare not move. Mu Mingtang stood by and watched quietly. After a while, she laughed and said, "it's because I'm too careless. The Lord has been ill for a long time, so I should have a rest. How can I be worried. I don't know the medical theory. Don't worry about what I just said. "

Mu Mingtang did not finish, suddenly saw Xie xuanchen holding the bed, will stand up. Mu Mingtang was startled. He rushed to help him, but was pushed away by Xie xuanchen: "no need."

Xie xuanchen just wakes up not long, just stands up, almost expends all energy. But he insisted on not letting Mu Mingtang help him. He sat on the edge of the bed for a long time and tried several times. He would leave the bed.

He just stands firm, the body is about to fall, Mu Mingtang hastens to come forward to hold him. With her help, Xie xuanchen just walked forward two steps, but he couldn't move weakly. Mu Mingtang quickly helped him back and covered him with a quilt: "Lord, it doesn't matter. Take your time."

Xie xuanchen has been in a coma for a long time. Even if there is no problem with his limbs, he is weak after two steps. Mu Mingtang came to fetch water and helped him to feed it carefully: "the Lord just woke up. He was too weak to be strong. It's good to have another one. Anyway, now that the chain is open, we have plenty of time in the future. "

Xie xuanchen's face was light, and the color on his lips was even lighter: "I can't even walk two steps now. It's no different from a useless man. What's the difference if I can't open the chain?"

"There's no difference." Mu Mingtang slowly sat on her feet, her Ru skirt spread out on the ground, bright color, just like begonia.

"You just wake up. You are too weak. You will be fine in the future." She said, with a deliberate smile, "if you want me to say, even if Wang Ye is weak now, he is more powerful than many people. I can't hold such a heavy chain in my hands. You can lift it up with a raise of your hand. "

Such consolation is too clumsy, Xie xuanchen casually pulled the corners of his mouth, said: "things are not so calculated, with the standard of ordinary people, my body now seems to be OK. But it's much worse than I used to be. "

Mu Mingtang actually understood this truth. Tiger and rabbit were not in the same evaluation standard from the beginning. Xie xuanchen once had a great reputation, and the name of God of war was passed down from generation to generation. Everyone was keen on commenting on genius. Now genius has suddenly fallen, and the harsh public opinion is far more severe than ordinary people who have never been famous.

Especially Xie xuanchen himself. He knows what he used to be. Now he is so weak that he even needs help to walk. He is the most difficult one to accept. Mu Mingtang can't say anything. Now he is weak in everything he says. Mu Mingtang stood up, took away the water cup, covered the quilt for Xie xuanchen again, and said: "I don't believe that people's lives are determined by heaven and the number of hits is fixed since I was a child. If you want me to say that people with ability can live well no matter where they are. It's no accident that a genius can surpass so many people when he was a child. When he grows up, he will still be a genius as long as he wants to. "

Xie xuanchen did not reply. He looked very tired and closed his eyes. Mu Mingtang didn't leave. After watching Xie xuanchen sleep well, he tucked Xie xuanchen into the corner.

Xie xuanchen seems to have fallen asleep, and has no response at all. Mu Mingtang thinks that Xie xuanchen's attitude towards life and death is contradictory. In his coma, he detects that there is something wrong with the porridge, and he is starving to death and refuses to drink porridge. But when I wake up, I seem to be sure that I will die.

It is said that his mother was killed by Emperor Gong of the later Jin Dynasty, and his father also died strangely. His cronies and aides are suspected to have been killed by him. The commander-in-chief, however, pointed his sharp blade at his former comrades. Xie xuanchen must have a deep sense of guilt for himself. So his instinct struggles to survive, but his reason can't accept himself like this.

Looking at this familiar and strange face, Mu Mingtang could not help but said in a soft voice: "only when you frighten the powerful enemies outside, can you be worthy of the title of Wu'an. Today, there are military enemies in the north, Tubo in the west, Dali in the south, Uighur and Xixia in the distance, surrounded by powerful enemies. After the sixteen prefectures of Youyun were cut off, they are still the territory of foreigners. Today, although the emperor is open-minded, he attaches great importance to culture and restrains martial arts. People outside the capital still live in precarious conditions. Ye Dynasty needs you, the world needs you. "

Xie xuanchen eyelashes quietly closed, no response, seems to have fallen asleep. Mu Mingtang stopped for a while and said more quietly, "I need you, too. I have offended Jiang Mingwei. As long as I am alone, she will never let me go. It's rare for me to be so proud. If I'm down in the back, what a shame. "

Mu Mingtang suddenly choked. He wiped his tears from the corner of his eyes and said in a low voice, "people come out of the road. It's good to stand up when you fall down. You have always been a hero in my mind who can turn the tide with his own strength. I will always accompany the Lord. "
