Chapter 229: Troubled Times Encounter Again
"Witch doctor?"
Zhong Mo was used to Bao Qi's puzzled tone, and it was normal for her to forget some things if she wanted to return to her soul, after all, when she left Manro, she was still so young. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"The witch doctor is the most noble elder of our Manro, and he has blessed the safety of our people for generations, and our Manro's medical skills will definitely not be worse than those imperial doctors in the Qi court. ”
Bao Qi looked at Zhong Mo's solemn and deep face, and was a little relieved, maybe he confused the witch doctor with witchcraft, and this matter was indeed proved in practice later.
Along the way, Bao Qi also learned a lot about the situation in the Manluo Kingdom, especially when she heard about the crisis of the Manluo tribe and the prophecy of the Mandate of Heaven, which directly hit Bao Qi and strengthened her determination to return to Manro.
She was able to cross through this body and be reborn, she always felt that the original owner of this body had suffered a lot and left, even if she couldn't find her family to repay the kindness, she was also full of gratitude to this body, so the reason why she promised Zhong Mo to return to Manro was another important reason, that is, she was willing to take on the responsibility of life and death for this body from the bottom of her heart.
But the prophecy of the Mandate of Heaven is like the echo of Bao Qi's soul, making Bao Qi almost unclear whether this heavenly holy responsibility belongs to him or to the original soul.
She thought a lot along the way, she didn't know what would happen when she went to Manro, and she didn't know anything about what this protection would take, but she only needed the other party to guarantee one thing, and it was also her only quid pro quo, that is, the child in her belly, she wanted to give birth to the child safe and sound, so that the child could live without worry, it was her last gift to the child.
According to Bao Qi's knowledge, the Manluo Kingdom is on the west side of the Qi Kingdom, and the Yan Kingdom is across the Shenluo River, the Yan Kingdom is on the south side of the Qi Kingdom, also known as the Southern Yan, the intersection of the Three Kingdoms, is a frequent place for wars, and the Manluo Kingdom is also known as the Western Regions in other countries.
When the carriage just stopped in front of the inn, Bao Qi heard a noise outside, and Zhong Mo said in a low voice,
"Now that the countries are fighting, except for the capital, there is no peace anywhere, so let's keep a low profile for a while, and don't attract attention. ”
It wasn't until Bao Qi got off the bus that he really felt what it meant to be in chaos.
In the past, I didn't feel anything in the capital, but now when I leave the capital, although the houses in the eyes are better than those in the countryside before, they reveal a desolation and desertion, and the prosperity of the capital is simply a world of difference, especially the pedestrians on the road are in a hurry, and most of them are still carrying packages, it seems that they want to go out to take refuge.
Looking further away, on the streets where the snow had just fallen, groups of beggars squatted conspicuously, and they were dispersed and driven away by columns of soldiers who ran by, and some were directly captured.
Seeing those soldiers passing by, the younger pedestrians ran with their heads in their hands, once they were discovered by the soldiers, they surrounded them and beat them and scolded them, but they also had to be arrested and enlisted, so the noise that Bao Qi heard just now was that he had just captured a young man, crying that he still had parents and children to raise, but in exchange for the soldiers beating and scolding him louder.
The patrol continued, Bao Qi followed Zhong Mo, lowered his head and didn't know what to do, the owner of the inn looked a little old, greeted Zhong Mo and his party into the door, and sighed quietly while entertaining,
"This scene has to happen dozens of times a day, get used to it, get used to it...... This war, hey, guest officer, please, how many people, what do you want?"
Zhong Mo coughed, ordered a few dishes in a hoarse voice, and the group sat in an inconspicuous position in the far corner.
The innkeeper's words made Bao Qi more directly aware of the people's misery brought about by this war, although she didn't know how far away it was from the capital, but it was only a half-day journey, in fact, this is the most real appearance of this country in the war, the disaster brought by the war to the people is always beyond imagination.
From time to time, there was the sound of soldiers walking, shouting, as if they were searching for something, this voice Bao Qi was very familiar, in just one morning, they had met several times, which made Bao Qi and Helan look at each other, and bowed their heads silently.
Zhong Mo's disguise is still very reliable.
Maybe it was because there were few people in the inn, and it didn't take long for the meal to be served, and the steaming meal aroused Bao Qi's hunger, but it made her stomach tumble and obviously uncomfortable, but for the sake of another life in her body, she still endured eating a lot, and what she needed most now was a good body.
"Stop, don't let her run!"
Another shouting and scolding, Bao Qi swallowed a mouthful of food, it seems that someone is about to be arrested again.
"Go, you guys go over there and block him, don't let him escape!"
"Damn, you still dare to run under the hands of labor and management, see how I catch you and clean you up......"
"Help...... Help......"
“……”
Bao Qi was stunned, this voice didn't seem right, it didn't seem to be the same as the voices of those men just now.
“…… Help me...... Not...... Let go of my ......"
"Hurry up and catch him!"
Bao Qi's hand shook and looked out of the door, this familiar voice was clearly ......
Helan obviously heard it, and looked out of the door with Bao Qi, but at this time, only Zhong Mo was the most calm, glanced at the two of them, and heard Helan trying his best to suppress the voice,
"Princess, it's Yun'er......"
Bao Qi's eyes were moist, and he choked his voice, "...... It's her. ”
The two were about to get up, the cries for help and the sound of pursuit, they had already arrived in front of the inn, and several rude male voices kept scolding, mixed with gagged whimpering and cries for help, but no one stepped forward to help.
"Stop. ”
The innkeeper saw a few guests who had just entered the door, stood up and took care of the idle affairs outside the door, and stomped his feet in place in a hurry.
“…… Provoke right and wrong, provoke right and wrong......"
The men who arrested people were obviously not officers and soldiers, but no one stopped the officers and soldiers passing by, which made them even more arrogant, and glanced at an old man and two old ladies with great disdain, who were running for their lives at a glance in plain clothes, and sneered,
"Heh, here are three old things who are not afraid of death, dare to talk to the master like this, huh?!"
Yun'er was dressed as a servant, struggling to be pressed to the ground, with teary eyes and wounds on her face, obviously suffering a lot.
Bao Qi trembled and coughed a few times, causing the few people who wanted to come over to take a few steps back in disgust, and cursed a few words in their unclean mouths.
Zhong Mo leaned on crutches and said hoarsely,
"A few masters misunderstood, cough cough cough ......"
"Misunderstanding?"
