43. He, killed her?
The dense woods, seemingly uninhabited, are full of dangers. Just when Mo Mingzhu and Xiao Yuchen escaped from the woods with all their might, some people in the courtyard of the mansion were not idle.
Mofu, Xiangwu Garden.
The door was closed, and Mo Xuelan and the Gao family were in the room, secretly discussing. Mo Xuelan was both nervous and couldn't help but be excited. "Mother, is Mo Mingzhu really dead?"
"This ...... The leader of the killer said that it was just possible to die, and it was not known yet. β
As soon as she heard this, Mo Xuelan immediately frowned. "Then let's not give the killer silver, in case Mo Mingzhu didn't die, now Daddy will return to the house immediately, if she comes back alive and shakes off, will she still have it? Mother, that killer is not reliable, but don't betray us when the time comes. β
Gao's always kind and virtuous face was full of gloom at the moment, and it was determined to kill Mo Mingzhu: "The killer's side doesn't have to worry, it can be trusted." Right now, the most important thing is not to make the old man suspicious. Mo Mingzhu died suddenly, there must be an explanation, and the argument of falling off the cliff is a little reluctant. β
As the two spoke, a servant came to report-"Madam, the general has arrived outside the mansion, and the old lady has sent someone to Cui you and the second miss, so you can hurry up and go together." β
Gao Yu Mo Xuelan hurriedly cleaned up the cold on his mood and face, and went out with the old lady and the aunts and ladies of each room to welcome Mo Dingyuan's triumphant return home.
Mo Dingyuan won the battle, and there were several large boxes of gold and silver rewards brought back together.
On the red silk horse head-on, Mo Dingyuan, who was dressed in battle armor, returned to the house with glory in the sound of firecrackers, and the scenery was infinite. The old lady was sick for half a month, and at this time, regardless of her illness, she went out of the house to welcome her son's return excitedly.
Mo Dingyuan was very happy, still as before, he looked for Mo Mingzhu when he entered the mansion, but after looking around, he didn't see the shadow of his eldest daughter Mo Mingzhu.
"Where's Mingzhu?"
The house was full of branches, and Gao's eyes were already red, he wiped his tears with a handkerchief, and said sadly: "It's all because I didn't dissuade Mingzhu." She heard that the third prince was also going to the Youth Club, so she insisted on following, but the result was ...... I haven't come back yet, I'm afraid it's because of the heavy rain, something happened......"
Mo Xuelan's eyes were also red. "Yes, Daddy, I also said at the time to let Sister Mingzhu not go, but she just didn't listen to me, the day I came back, there was a heavy rainstorm in the mountain, I'm afraid ...... The eldest sister has died. β
"What?!"
Mo Dingyuan immediately heard this, like five thunderbolts, he didn't even have time to take off his battle armor, and immediately rushed out of the house.
"To live to see people, to die to see corpses! Gather all the soldiers and family members in the house, and quickly go to Jianwu Mountain to save people! β
"In addition, housekeeper, send a letter to the palace and ask the prime minister to ask His Majesty for guilt on my behalf, saying that Mo has lost his beloved daughter and cannot participate in the celebration banquet!"
After that, Mo Dingyuan held a fierce war horse, led a team of people, and rushed out of Chang'an City directly, so shocked that the people secretly stretched out their heads to look, the general was in such a hurry, I don't know what happened?
On the Mo Mansion, Mo Xuelan was worried. Gao asked Mo Xuelan to wait with peace of mind and not to mess with herself. Then, Gao quietly avoided everyone and went to the back door, ordered his mother to guard the back door, went out by himself, and turned into the corner of the street.
On the corner of the street, there was an armored lieutenant general with a cold face, waiting for her.
Gao came to see him.
"Vice General Yan, can the matter be done?"
"Huixian, I'll do something, you can rest assured. Mo Mingzhu, a wild species, will definitely not survive these two days. β
This armored man has a stern aura, mixed with the killing aura brought back from this battlefield, it looks a little terrifying, but against the Gao clan, it is very restrained and gentle. "This wild shit luck is really excellent, no matter how you kill her, you will not die, and you and Xuelan will be wronged everywhere. At the moment, the general personally led people to search, and if the general found someone first, I am afraid that things would not be easy to do. β
"This is ......exactly what I'm worried about," Gao said with a frown, then pinched the handkerchief and gently landed on Deputy General Yan's small arm, frowning and whispering, "The master still refuses to recognize the fact that Mo Mingzhu is a wild species, and even said that he has thought about handing over the whole Mo Mansion to Mo Mingzhu's son-in-law to take care of, if Mo Mingzhu is in charge of the Mo Mansion at that time, then I and Xuelan will have a hard time." Vice General Yan, can you help me......"
After receiving Gao's handkerchief and entrusting pat, and such gentle and pleasing eyes, Yan Zhan's manly blood was stimulated, and he responded: "Huixian, don't worry!" I said I would help you to the end. β
Then he was silent:
"Hye-hyun, you...... Don't call me Vice General Yan, or call me as before...... Call me Ah Zhan. β
Gao smiled gently, but did not respond, and still called him Vice General Yan.
Yan Strategy was ashamed and didn't dare to say more, and felt that Gao Huixian was jade-clean, even though she was already a mother.
After Gao achieved his goal, he didn't dare to stay longer, so he went back to the house, and led the old mother to hurry back to the house to clean up, planning to go out of the city to build Wushan for a while, and make a show. The eldest daughter is missing, so you can't sit and wait in the house, it will inevitably make people gossip......
There must be a mistake in a hundred secrets, Gao is so cautious, but it still allows people to see - Aunt Liu is hiding in the dark, although she didn't hear what Gao said to anyone, but she saw a man in armor in a flash......
Aunt Liu has always been very wary of gossip and secrets. What are they talking about? The most important thing is to hide and fold in this way...... Who is this man? The eldest lady didn't go to the front yard to arrange the gold and silver brought back by the master, but came here to see him? β
Β·
As the people from Mo Dingyuan's faction delivered the news, the palace soon got the news of Mo Mingzhu's disappearance. At present, King Chen, the god of war in the middle of the court, is crazy, Xiao Jingling is still tender, and only Mo Dingyuan, a general, can top it a little. Therefore, in a short period of time, the emperor's attention to Mo Dingyuan was unusual.
No one in the palace knows that General Mo is not greedy for wine and sex, nor does he admire vanity, but he is most concerned about this stupid and ugly eldest daughter.
Therefore, the emperor immediately ordered three teams of imperial forest troops to go out of the palace to find Mo Mingzhu together.
The news soon spread to the palace of the Three Emperors, and at that time, Xiao Jingling was instructing the servants to clean up all the things sent because of the marriage, take them out and throw them away.
The eunuch hurriedly ran in from outside the palaceβ
"His Royal Highness the Third Prince, His Royal Highness the Third Prince, something is wrong!" This justice was the eunuch who accompanied him to Jianwu Mountain that day, and then passed the news on the way back, and asked Mo Mingzhu's sister and brother to get off the carriage and leave the second batch.
"What's the matter, so flustered." Xiao Jingling was writing scriptures calmly, and without waiting for the eunuch to speak, he said again, "Is it that General Mo entered the palace to let his father withdraw from the marriage?" If yes, needless to say! From now on, not a single word about the ugly woman will be mentioned. β
"Your Royal Highness, it's not a divorce, it's a ...... It was the eldest lady of the Mo family, and I heard that she was killed in the mountains by a mudslide. β
There was a soft "pop", and the wolf's brush fell on the rice paper and blurred a piece of black ink. Xiao Jingling's face turned pale and raised his head, "You, say it again......"
The eunuch knew that he was the one who informed Mo Mingzhu to leave last that day, and he was suspected of directly causing Mo Mingzhu to die in a mudslide, and he was already sweating with terror, "The eldest lady of the Mo family is missing, and most of the panicked situation is dead, and now General Mo will not participate in the celebration banquet, so he directly took people and went to Jianwu Mountain to find it." His Majesty had just passed on the decree and asked the Imperial Forest Army to go with him to help General Mo find someone. I'm afraid Miss Mo is true this time...... Your Highness, Your Highness, where are you goingβ"
Before the eunuch finished speaking, he saw his master rushing out of the arrow.
'Mo Mingzhu, you, how could you ......' has never been like this, Xiao Jingling has never been so scared and regretful. If Mo Mingzhu really died in the mudslide that day, it was him who killed her with his own hands.
No, you must not die, Mo Mingzhu, you must not die!
In Chang'an City, after the general Mo Dingyuan led a team of people out of the city, a larger group of imperial forest troops, led by Xiao Jingling, the third prince wearing a prince's uniform, went out of the city in a mighty way, and a series of actions stirred up the atmosphere of Chang'an City to be particularly tense and full of wind and rain. The people couldn't bear it anymore and exchanged their heads with each otherβ
"What's going on?"
"Yes, it seems to be very strict, even the Imperial Forest Army was alarmed, or the third prince personally led the army out of the city."
"You don't know yet? Just now, the government posted a notice that it was the eldest lady of the Mo Mansion that Mo Mingzhu was missing, and this was all to find the eldest lady of the Mo Mansion......"
"Ah......?"
The people were surprised, but they didn't expect such a big battle to be for the rumored stupid ugly girl who was "not favored".
A great general who is the most powerful in Great Qi now, a third prince who is the most precious in Great Qi, and so many Royal Forest troops are dispatched, and the battle is so big.
Miss Mo, is it really as rumored to be "unfavored"?
No way......
*
No matter how stormy and powerful Chang'an City is, in this endless mountain forest, it is so quiet that you can't hear a word of human language.
On the mountains and forests, I saw the blue sky, the sun was in full bloom, and the sunlight sprinkled large and small bright points of light through the gaps in the dense leaves, falling on the man in front of Mo Mingzhu.
Due to the heroic sacrifice of the only piece of clothing, Xiao Yuchen was naked, his long thick hair was black and shiny in the bright sun, and his strong body with clear texture was dyed with a layer of shallow sunlight under the outline of the light.
Mo Mingzhu looked at it as he walked.
Suddenly, the man in front of him stopped, turned backβ
Xiao Yuchen raised his eyebrows and looked at Mo Mingzhu coldly, and paused for a long time, until Mo Mingzhu was a little at a loss, and the air was a few degrees colder, before he said: "The road is not on my back, look carefully at your feet." β
ββ¦β¦ Oh! Mo Mingzhu lowered his eyes and looked at the road with a weak heart.
Considering that Mo Mingzhu came to a small day, Xiao Yuchen slowed down a little, much slower than yesterday.
Mo Mingzhu was quietly thinking about the identity of this "Han Shen", when she suddenly saw the man in front of her flash and quickly approached her, and then her body was wrapped around by a pair of long arms, and then the green in front of her quickly galloped. It was Xiao Yuchen who took her to jump onto the canopy!
What's wrong?!
Mo Mingzhu was so frightened that he almost screamed, and then he heard the sound of rustling from all over the woods! With his eyes wide open, Mo Mingzhu looked at the place where the two of them were standing, and more than twenty masked killers surrounded him! All of them are holding long knives, refracting the light, which is shocking!
Xiao Yuchen's eyes were cold, staring at the waist card on the waist of the killer leader. This person turned out to be a member of his Long's Academy. The killer had seen him yesterday, but he didn't recognize him as the Marquis of Long Ehou, which meant that this person was not of high rank and had never seen his face.
Xiao Yuchen hid in the canopy of Mo Mingzhu, and more than two dozen masked killers under him were holding sharp knives, searching for the traces of the two.
The heart hung in his throat, Mo Mingzhu had never been so nervous! If you make a little noise, you will be immediately discovered by this group of killers! Sweaty palms. However, at this critical moment, Mo Mingzhu accidentally glanced at his feet-
It's so high!
Mo Mingzhu couldn't help but weaken his legs, and he was about to lose his center of gravity and fall down. 'Oh my God, it's over......'
Suddenly, Mo Mingzhu's waist was wrapped around a long arm, and Mo Mingzhu suddenly paused.
She was firmly embraced by a man who belonged to her.
Mo Mingzhu raised his eyes in panic, just in front of the light of the sun, and he almost couldn't open his eyes. Then, after slowly getting used to it, Mo Mingzhu saw the handsome face of the man close at hand, half shining in the light, half in the shadow-
Xiao Yuchen's neat and well-defined eyebrows and eyelashes, the narrow and straight bridge of the nose, and the long hair on the chin, thin lips, Adam's apple, and cheeks...... All of them are crossed with a light layer of gold. The sunlight illuminated a pair of cold and deep eyes with a slight amber color, and the texture was clear and beautiful......
Mo Mingzhu was a little distracted all of a sudden, forgetting that at this time, there was a group of killers with knives at his feet, looking for ......
This man will shine and shine brightly.
Xiao Yuchen saw that Mo Mingzhu was about to fall, so he instinctively reached out to grab her, but he didn't want to, the branches were narrow, and the distance would be so close all of a sudden. She quietly and meekly looked at him in the crook of his arm. It was so close, so clear and real, that he could almost see the tiny lovely velvet on her face, and her little nose, breathing nervously, deeply and shallowly, in the sunlight.
Xiao Yuchen has always been experienced in dealing with the enemy, and the canopy he chose is extremely secretive, the killer looked around, but he didn't find anyone, so he went back, and after a while, the killer went and returned, and saw that there was really no one in the same place, so he really left.
Xiao Yuchen squinted and thought. Judging by their behavior and tactics, these people are by no means ordinary killers......
Β·
At night, Mo Mingzhu and Xiao Yuchen stayed under a big banyan tree. There is no sunlight under the tree all year round, so there is not a single grass in dryness, only some dead leaves.
In ancient times, the air was good, there was almost no dust on the leaves, and even if you sat on the ground, you would not stain your clothes. After piling up a pile of clean fallen leaves, Xiao Yuchen glanced at Mo Mingzhu, who was still looking for a foothold, and spread the only remaining small vest with black phoenix gold weaving clothes on it.
"Come here to rest, I'll get something to eat."
Mo Mingzhu found out that Xiao Yuchen had all been paved.
"Okay, thank you, Han Daxia."
"......" Xiao Yuchen is a little uncomfortable with the word "hero". The hero hoes the strong and helps the weak, and although he fights for the country, his hands are bloody, so even if others praise him and go down in history, he still doesn't feel how noble he is. "Don't call me a hero, I'm not a hero."
"Oh, then, I'll call you Brother Han, right?" Mo Mingzhu said with a smile.
ββ¦β¦ Whatever you want. β
Mo Mingzhu sat for a while, picked up some dry firewood nearby, and Xiao Yuchen came back, carrying a pheasant in his hand. Mo Mingzhu felt that her self-reliance was good, but now that she saw Xiao Yuchen, she realized that she was really just a three-legged cat's kung fu. This man's survival skills in the wild are so powerful, so his identity ......
"Brother Han, since you are not a hero, then ...... Are you an Orion? β
"......" Xiao Yuchen ignored.
"No, seeing that your barbecue technique is so elegant, it shouldn't be Orion......"
ββ¦β¦β
"Brother Han, you're a woodcutter, aren't you? He is also very skilled in adding firewood to make a fire! Mo Mingzhu looked at it from afar, and the more he felt that this man was really mysterious.
Xiao Yuchen roasted the pheasant, and glanced at Mo Mingzhu coldly when he heard the words.
"Brother Han, you sue me, who are you?" Mo Mingzhu grinds hard bubbles.
ββ¦β¦ If I said I was a killer, would you believe me. β
Mo Mingzhu was stunned.
Xiao Yuchen looked at her and heard the word "killer" inadvertently flash of shock and jealousy, and his heart was cold.
Mo Mingzhu came back to his senses, but he was no longer as easy as he was just now, and he was much more serious. smiled. "Faith, your martial arts are so good, and ...... Injured, as it seems, the identity of the killer is reasonable. β
Xiao Yuchen's gaze fell on the flames that were jumping and burning in the night, and his expression was slightly deep. In fact, he is even more terrible than a killer!
The killer kills a person, and he kills thousands of troops!
If there is hell, he thinks, he Xiao Yuchen must go to hell after his death, and in the first few years on the battlefield, he thought about it all the time. Those young days seemed to be on the verge of life and death every day. However, I am afraid that hell is not as terrible as the battlefield. Other soldiers still have their hometown and family to miss, and he, looking back at Chang'an, has nothing but his mother's sharp knife that almost pierced his heart. But that's all in the past, and nothing can scare him now.
Life and death have long been downplayed.
Mo Mingzhu quietly looked at Xiao Yuchen, only to see that this beautiful man's eyes were extremely silent, and the firelight jumped on his face, but it couldn't melt the frost in his eyes, cold.
After a while, the meat was roasted, and the night breeze brought fragrance into Mo Mingzhu's nose.
"It smells so good! Brother Han, if you have this skill, it will definitely be good to open a restaurant! Really, I can help you find a shop pΓΉ, so you don't have to eat and sleep in the open in the future. Mo Mingzhu said sincerely.
"Which eye did you see me sleeping in the open?" Xiao Yuchen suddenly felt a little funny. This woman's imagination always seems to be rich.
"......" the clothes that you picked up. Mo Mingzhu said secretly in his heart, but his mouth was closed and he smiled.
"Come, you eat too."
Mo Mingzhu handed the meat.
Xiao Yuchen didn't answer, but went to the side and picked a very clean and flat place, sat and closed his eyes to breathe.
ββ¦β¦ Brother Han, you, really don't eat? It's really fragrant. β
Xiao Yuchen said lightly, "I don't eat this kind of coarse food. Although in the past, when he was facing difficulties on the battlefield, he could even eat snow water grass roots, but, under normal circumstances, he didn't like to eat these.
"......" rough ......
Mo Mingzhu felt that her previous guesses such as Orion, woodcutter, and hero had been wrong, and looking at Han Shen's clean, picky and exquisite living habits, as well as his arrogant personality, he must have come out of some kind of aristocracy.
However, since she is a nobleman, why pick up the clothes she threw away and wear them......
After eating, Mo Mingzhu was very full and sleepy. At a glance, her leaf "bed" was a foot away from Xiao Yuchen's, and he also ignored his leaf bed and came over next to Xiao Yuchen.
Xiao Yuchen closed his eyes and breathed, feeling her coming, he felt a little resistant in his heart, but when he opened his eyes, he saw that the woman was curled up beside his lap, sleeping quietly and obediently, like a ...... Sleepy, fluffy little hamsters. In my heart, I suddenly felt a soft feeling. He didn't push her away, but she seemed to be getting more and more excessive, fell asleep, and was directly next to him......
Xiao Yuchen felt a little patient, and his face sank......
The night was cold, Mo Mingzhu spontaneously leaned on a warm and soft place in a fog, this, I really don't blame her!
Mo Mingzhu was asleep, and suddenly felt as if something bright was flying in front of him, and when he opened his eyes, he was shocked. It looks like a firefly, but it is not a firefly, it is a light blue point of light, like a stream of water, flowing in the air with the wind.
"It's the petals of the floating moon."
Xiao Yuchen said.
"You haven't slept yet?"
"Hmmm......"
Mo Mingzhu spread out his palm to catch a blue light, only to find that it was originally a tiny petal, shaped like a glowing catkins. Floating moon incense, she seems to have heard her grandmother say that floating moon incense is a kind of spice that is difficult to buy on the market. My grandmother only had a small packet, which was regarded as a treasure of the town store. Any spice that adds floating moon fragrance will make the fragrance more natural, long-lasting, and refreshing.
"There's so much in the wind, there must be more nearby!" Mo Mingzhu hurriedly made a simple torch and followed the blue beam of light flowing in the darkness, groping forward.
Xiao Yuchen followed, worried that something would happen to Mo Mingzhu. She seemed to be interested in spices. β
Mo Mingzhu had only walked a few steps, and as soon as he pushed aside the bushes, he was immediately dazzled by the sudden blue light, and after getting used to it, he was stunned by what he saw.
This is a sea of blue flowers! A sea of floating moon incense! In the sea of flowers, there are constantly tidbits with blue light flying up, jumping over the treetops, straight up to the nine heavens, as if floating under the hook of the crescent moon!
No wonder, it's called "floating moon incense"!
"It's beautiful!" Mo Mingzhu turned back excitedly and pulled Xiao Yuchen's sleeve, "Brother Han, look, there are so many blue flowers!" β
"Hmm." He still only has one word.
Xiao Yuchen had never seen so many floating moon incense, and when he looked back, he saw that Mo Mingzhu was covered with blue tidbits of floating moon incense, taking advantage of her exquisite body, she was extremely beautiful.
For a moment, I was a little stunned.
Mo Mingzhu picked up the glowing tidbits and marked them on the ground. When she returns home safely, she will definitely find someone to come back to look for her. If you have these floating moon incense, you will have more chips to defeat the Gao family's spice shop.
β¦β¦
The moon was sinking in the sky.
Beside the fire on the ground, there sat two people nearby, each of them not sleepy, until dawn, when the day began to dawn.
Mo Mingzhu: "Brother Han, maybe we will be separated today, or maybe we will die in the hands of the killer in the next moment, you ...... Don't you want to talk to me about something? β
Mo Mingzhu looked at Xiao Yuchen. Thinking that he might be about to be separated from this man and never see each other again, Mo Mingzhu felt a little regretful.
Xiao Yuchen glanced at the people from afar.
ββ¦β¦ You can sΓΉ my name. β
Mo Mingzhu smiled. "Mingzhu, my name is Mo Mingzhu."
"Mo Mingzhu ......" Xiao Yuchen felt a little familiar, and he couldn't remember where he had heard it. I remembered. β
Mo Mingzhu just wanted to say that he would leave a mark so that he would see him next time, but he suddenly felt a pain in the back of his neck, and then he fainted groggily.
Dressed in a colorful fragrance, Mo Feibai hurried with his subordinates. He wasn't worried that Xiao Yuchen would die, after all, this person with the life of the overlord of the world would not die so easily, however, when he saw the woman next to Xiao Yuchen, Mo Mingzhu, he was covered in a layer of cold sweat!
"...... you guys?!" Mo Feibai wanted to speak and stopped. Could it be that the heavenly incense has failed?!!
Looking at Mo Feibai, Xiao Yuchen was a little puzzled. "How are we?"
Seeing that Xiao Yuchen was still ignorant, Mo Feibai breathed a sigh of relief. "Nothing, nothing...... How did you two end up together? β
Xiao Yuchen said it roughly, of course, he didn't say anything embarrassing like picking up his pants. "What, you know this woman?"
Mo Fei's eyes rolled and he turned back to Xiao Yuchen and smiled: "Your Highness, haven't you always wanted to meet the woman I like?" Far away, close at hand......"
"You mean, it's Mo Mingzhu? ...... "No wonder, he felt that the name was somewhat familiar, it turned out that Mo Feibai had mentioned it.
"Yes, it's her. And, she liked me too. I'm thinking about when I'm going to start a family. Mo Feibai thought, and for the sake of insurance, he added, "After turning her into a beauty, she will start a family." β
Look at her qualifications, how she can't be beautiful! So, don't think he'll marry her!
"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"
Xiao Yuchen came to his senses, "It's nothing...... Let's go back. β
Why there is a sense of loss in his heart, Xiao Yuchen doesn't know, but he can't say the reason, and he is not very happy.
"If you want to marry her, you shouldn't judge her by her appearance. You stay and take care of her, and I'll go back on my own. Xiao Yuchen said, as he spoke, brought the clean robe given by the servant, glanced at Mo Mingzhu, and then handed it to Mo Feibai.
"Drape her."
Mo Feibai took his robe, and Xiao Yuchen left. Mo Feibai stood in place against the morning glow in the sky, with Mo Mingzhu lying beside him.
Mo Feibai secretly called him unlucky, and draped his clothes on Mo Mingzhu's body. "It seems that I will only be able to get out if I wait for the person who picked you up to come...... Mo Mingzhu, Mo Mingzhu, you must be the nemesis of this son, you look so ugly, I have to serve you before and after the saddle......"
