Chapter 222: Identity of the Prisoner
"Lord, why are you so angry? There is so much blood from the wound, is this not even worth your life?"
Mu Xi walked to Jing Lu's side silently and asked in disgust. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Jing Lu was unusually nervous and surprised by the sudden arrival of Mu Xi, the whip that had just been swung in the air was suddenly put down, turned around and stood between Mu Xi and the prisoner, held Mu Xi's arm very unnaturally, the corners of his mouth twitched, and said with a half-smile:
"Mu Xi, why are you here, my wound, oh, I don't care, then let's go, go back to the room and you help me bandage the wound again." ”
Jing Lu's sudden change of attitude made Mu Xi even more puzzled, and at this time, the prisoner behind him seemed to be crazy, his feet that were held and locked on the ground by the iron chain twisted hard, and his arms that were hung high began to struggle non-stop, Mu Xi only heard the prisoner struggling behind Jing Lu so that the iron chain kept 'banging'.
She gently pulled away Jinglu's grip and looked sideways at the prisoner.
"Hongxia, did you disturb Mu Xi to come here in the middle of the night?" Jing Lu scolded angrily at Hongxia, who was standing next to the prisoner.
"Lord Wang, who is this person?" As Mu Xi spoke, he turned slightly sideways to bypass Jinglu to check on the prisoner, and in a flash, he saw half of the prisoner's face in the dark, as if he was trying to say something, but he didn't make a sound.
Mu Xi was shocked in his heart, could it be that this was the prisoner in the box in Tongyun Palace, the one who was completely voiceless due to the dumb medicine he gave?
Mu Xi wanted to see the truth even more, Jing Lu immediately took a step sideways, and stopped in front of Mu Xi again, his worried eyes didn't dare to look directly at Mu Xi, and he still insisted on blocking it.
"Mu Xi, it's almost dawn, you haven't slept all night, you have to see the prince tomorrow morning, go back to sleep early, this prisoner is nothing serious, if the injury is serious, I will ask the witch doctor to put some medicine to stop bleeding tomorrow and it will be fine, you go back quickly, I am also tired, let's go back and rest"
"Lord Wang, who the hell is this, why don't you let me know his identity? The person in the box in the Tongyun Palace is him, right? Since he is a prisoner, why is he not in prison, but tortured in this firewood room, and why is everything the prince said to him related to me?"
Mu Xi asked Jing Lu who was standing in front of him again and again, and his cold gaze made Jing Lu have to turn his head, he was unsteady for a while, his body fell to one side, and Ershu hurriedly stepped forward to hold it steadily.
She glanced at his face with cold eyes, there was no obstacle in front of her, and she walked straight to the prisoner, "Xiaoxia, come over with the lamp"
Mu Xi commanded for a long time, but no one responded, and couldn't help but turn her head to look for it, Xiaoxia was holding a candle in her hand, still standing at the door, her two feet rubbing each other back and forth, just tangled in place, the candle flame shone on her face, and she could see her biting her lips tightly, and her eyes flashed with apprehension.
Mu Xi suddenly understood that Xiaoxia had long known the prisoner's body, and in this house, there was something she might not know, she swept over several people, and stood in the corner by the door, trying to look at the prisoner, as if she wanted to know the prisoner's situation like Mu Xi.
"Shuangshuang, go and hold the lamp up to him. Mu Xi commanded in a soft voice.
Shuangshuang immediately took the candle flame in Xiaoxia's hand, walked lightly past Mu Xi, and went straight to the prisoner, only to see that as soon as Shuangshuang stopped in front of the prisoner, he couldn't help but lose his color, and the candle flame in his hand almost fell.
Mu Xi came to the prisoner steadily, looked at her with nervous expressions, suppressed the discoloration expression, and gently brought the candle flame in his hand in front of the prisoner again.
"Mu Xi" Jing Lu called behind him, just a call, and seemed to be deliberately blocking it later, but he couldn't say anything more, so he helped him to the table to find a box and sat down, turned his head, and still didn't dare to look directly at Mu Xi's gaze.
Through the candle flame, Mu Xi looked sideways at the prisoner, who was still wearing the prisoner's uniform in the box, which had been beaten and tattered at this time, and the multiple whip marks on his legs were bleeding outward.
Although his feet stood on the ground, they were tightly clasped by iron hoops and chained to the ground, so that he could only stand still, his hands were hung on the beams as much as possible, and his whole body was as straight as a wooden pole.
The prisoner's chest was rising and falling rapidly, and she could hear his breathing even more rapidly, the candle flame flickered, and Mu Xi looked at his face, which shocked her.
Mu Xi exclaimed in shock: "Lin Yulang !!"
Yu Lang's lips kept opening and closing, silent, I don't know what he was talking about, his eyes up and down her body, full of concern, he struggled, except for the sound of chains, there was no sound at all.
But Mu Xi's heart was already thundered by five thunders, and the internal force that had always maintained her survival seemed to be inspired at this time, and began to be restless in her physical strength, and suddenly rushed to her heart, completely blocking her heart, for a while, Mu Xi's breathing was blocked, cardiac arrest, her eyes were dark, and her body fell backwards weightlessly.
"Sister!" Xiaoxia exclaimed and ran forward to hold on steadily.
Jing Lu ran to her side with an arrow, and before she could react, Jing Lu had already fallen to the ground, and together with Xiaoxia, she caught Mu Xi who had fainted.
Yu Lang, who was in prison, struggled even harder, and the iron chain seemed to be broken.
Xiaoxia quickly took out the medicine from her arms, and Jinglu held Mu Xi in her arms and stuffed the medicine into Mu Xi's mouth.
After a while, Mu Xi eased up, sighed deeply for the stuffy breath that was blocked in her chest, opened her eyes, and saw Jing Lu's complicated expression, she asked angrily: "Didn't you say that he was dead? You said that Lin Yulang is dead!"
"Mu Xi, don't worry, you listen to me, you listen to my explanation, at that time, you were too seriously injured, in danger, when you were unconscious, you always kept shouting Lin Yulang's name, and every time it was a frightened expression, I knew that you were hurt too deeply, so I lied that Lin Yulang was dead, just to understand your nightmare predicament. ”
Jinglu anxiously explained.
Mu Xi pushed Jing Lu's arm away, pulled Xiaoxia's hand, stood up, and then looked at Yu Lang, he immediately calmed down a lot, and when he met Mu Xi's eyes, he actually lowered his head with guilt.
"Then why is he here, why is he in Tongyun Palace?" Mu Xi asked guessingly, before Jing Lu could answer.
She saw the wound on Yu Lang's arm, wrapped in strips of cloth, but blood was still spilling out.
Although Mu Xi has always guessed this possibility, she doesn't dare to face this reality in her heart, she hopes that this is all her guess, not true.
Now that the facts were in front of her, she trembled and asked herself, "Is this the antidote you call the antidote, is this the reason why he has always been by my side?"
"Mu Xi, in fact, when Lin Yulang was captured, the Khan had already ordered him to be executed, and it was the witch doctor who said that his blood could detoxify you, so I begged the Khan to imprison him in the palace, so it actually saved his life. ”
Jing Lu was helped to stand up by Ershu, and as he spoke, he slowly approached Mu Xi.
"It turns out that I am the devil who lives by drinking human blood. Mu Xi looked at Yu Lang who was covered in bruises, locked his eyes on the wound on his arm, and muttered alone in a trance.
That internal force seems to be about to come out.
