Chapter 561: Promise
Mu Jin lowered his eyes slightly, looked at the hand that Old Madam Mu was shaking with him, raised his head for a moment, and smiled.
Seeing this smile, Old Madam Mu sighed, patted Mu Jin, turned her head and instructed her son, "Let's go!"
The Marquis of Guchang carried his elderly mother on his back, and the Empress Dowager Mu supported her beside her and walked through the dense forest.
Mu Jin and Song Yanzhao led the way in front.
In this forest, the last time the two of them explored the road together, they naturally knew which direction to go.
She set up a maze array in the woods, and Ji Hui's people couldn't chase it back for a while.
All they have to do is get back to the city as soon as possible and take the initiative.
Ji Hui is not a fool, on the contrary, he is very smart and keen, otherwise he would not have transferred heavy troops because Mu Jin smelled something was wrong when he went up the mountain.
If Ji Hui and Huangshan are trapped in the Ecstasy Formation, it is fine, but if the two of them do not enter the formation, once they find that something is wrong, Ji Hui may return to the city immediately.
Once he returns to the city first, I am afraid that he will directly announce the secret of the Empress Dowager Mu, defend the city with heavy troops, and lead the troops to defeat the Empress Dowager Mu.
Or he will announce the death of the Empress Dowager, and then take control of Jingchang Kingdom in the name of the regent, after all, the little emperor is only three years old this year.
Everyone present knew about these consequences, so everyone accelerated their pace in awe.
By the time the group walked through the woods, it was already bright.
The sun climbed over the high mountains and sprinkled over the flat valleys, brushing away the carnage and bloodshed of the previous night.
"Mother, mother, you hold on!" Empress Dowager Mu's trembling voice sounded, and she was shocked to find that Old Madam Mu's hands were getting colder and colder.
Mu Jin turned to look.
"Let me go!" Old Madam Mu said in a low voice.
Gu Changhou's lips trembled, and he silently put down Old Madam Mu and let her lean on his arms.
Old Madam Mu raised her eyes to look at the girl in white standing in front of her.
Although after a night of killing and running, the girl's white clothes were a little messy, but her expression was still calm and calm.
The young man next to her was looking at her with concern in his eyes.
Old Madam Mu's eyes moved, and she wanted to raise her hand to beckon Mu Jin over, but found that she didn't even have the strength to raise her hand.
Understanding what Old Madam Mu meant, Mu Jin walked over quickly.
"Old lady, can you say anything you want?" Mu Jin gently held Old Madam Mu's hand.
Old Madam Mu suddenly exerted all the strength in her body, held Mu Jin's hand with her backhand, and looked at her pleadingly.
"Good boy, I know you're capable, can you help them?"
She looked at Mu Jin eagerly, her somewhat cloudy eyes were a little bright and scary at this moment.
Mu Jin blinked, a little hesitant.
It's them, not her.
If she just asked her to help, she would not hesitate to respond.
But they meant that they promised to help Empress Dowager Mu and Marquis Guchang get out of the current predicament.
That means going back to fight against Ji.
There is no doubt that the Empress Dowager Mu will definitely not give up Jingchangguo.
Mu Jin thinks she doesn't have the ability to save a country.
Old Madam Mu held her hand tightly, glanced at Song Yanzhao with a difficult look, and then turned her head again.
"He's your beloved, right?"
Mu Jin blinked in surprise.
Old Madam Mu, "Silly boy, can you still hide from the old woman when you look at each other?"
Mu Jinqiao's face was slightly red, a little uncomfortable.
Old Madam Mu smiled lightly, feeling that her breathing was getting slower and slower, she knew that she was running out of time, so she tugged Mu Jin's hand.
Mu Jin looked up at her.
"I know that this request of mine is a bit difficult for a strong man, but the old woman can see that you are both capable people, at this time, all I can ask for is you, good boy, promise me, okay?"
"Mother, don't talk, okay? I'll talk to Mu Niangzi and Song Sanye, you save your strength, and we're about to go back to the city." "When Empress Dowager Mu heard her mother begging others for her affairs when she was dying, her heart was like a knife and tears were like rain.
She knew Song Yanzhao's identity, if Song Yanzhao hadn't sent someone to talk to Gu Changhou last night, she was afraid that things would have been worse last night.
Gu Changhou hugged his mother tightly, biting his lip to suppress the choking that he was about to exit.
Old Madam Mu looked at Mu Jin fixedly, her eyes full of pleading and praying.
Mu Jin subconsciously looked up at Song Yanzhao.
Although it was far away, Song Yanzhao could roughly guess what they said, and he bowed his head lightly and motioned for Mu Jin to agree.
Mu Jin felt a little complicated in her heart, and held Old Madam Mu's hand with her backhand, "Old Madam, we promise you!"
Old Madam Mu's eyes suddenly lit up, but tears flowed from her eyes, "Okay, good, thank you!"
Gu Changhou and Empress Dowager Mu looked at Mu Jin in disbelief, and then turned their heads to look at Song Yanzhao.
A gentle nod, do they know what they promised?
Do they know what that means?
Song Yanzhao looked at Shanggu Changhou's gaze and bowed his head slightly.
Gu Changhou closed his eyes and swallowed the sourness and heat under his eyes.
"Thank you!" Empress Dowager Mu thanked Mu Jin in a low voice.
At this moment, she has completely lost the majesty and arrogance of the empress dowager of a country on weekdays, and in front of her mother, who was seriously injured and her life was gradually passing, she only had worry and exhaustion.
Mu Jin shook his head slowly, thought about it, and whispered softly to Old Madam Mu's ear.
Old Madam Mu's eyes widened in disbelief, her eyes were full of surprise and looked at Mu Jin, her lips trembled, and she only showed a smile after a while.
"Okay, good, good! Heaven will not stop my Mu family! I will not stop my Mu family!"
After laughing, he finally closed his eyes peacefully and walked very peacefully.
"Mother!"
"Mother!"
Two extremely painful cries sounded at the same time, and the Empress Dowager Mu threw herself beside Mrs. Mu, shaking Mrs. Mu desperately.
Old Madam Mu's eyes were closed, and a smile was on her lips.
Mu Jin's eyes were hot, and he subconsciously clenched his hands that were gradually getting colder.
"You've done your best!" a thick, deep voice rang in his ears.
Mu Jin turned around and saw Song Yanzhao's concerned eyes, and couldn't help but turn red.
For Mrs. Mu, she really likes it.
Song Yanzhao patted her on the shoulder and gave her silent comfort.
Mu Jin helped him stand up.
Song Yanzhao looked at Gu Changhou, "Two of you mourn!"
Gu Changhou wiped away his tears and raised his reddened eyes, "Thank you!"
This thank you was solemn, and he could see that Mu Jin didn't know what to say in Mrs. Mu's ear, so that Mrs. Mu walked so peacefully.
It must be something promised!
And she will promise that it must have something to do with the teenager in front of her.
Gu Changhou looked at the young man next to him with complicated eyes.
Who would have thought that Song Yanzhao, the number one leader of Yizhou Road in the Great Zhou, would disguise himself as a guard in his mansion, and he didn't even notice it.
"What are you going to do next?" Seeing that Guchang Hou looked at himself fixedly, Song Yanzhao touched his chin, secretly wondering if he wanted to remove the scar on his face?
