Chapter 22 How can you not destroy your soul if you don't lose your soul?
The mushroom leaves are rotten and not in the West Bay, and the lotus seed flowers have not yet been returned
The mountain light is faint, the sunset is obliquely shining, and the sunset on the horizon is reflected in a purple red. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info seems to be between heaven and earth, no matter how beautiful or ugly things are, they are so not worth mentioning. The mountain peaks in the distance are continuous, and with the sun on their backs, it is impossible to see the trees that have just passed the baptism of a cold winter and have grown tender shoots.
"Huhγγγ" Qing Nuan took a few deep breaths one after another, wanting to spit out the turbidity in the body along with all the troubles, there are too many trivialities in the world, only standing on the top of the mountain, you will also experience "a drop in the sea".
"The sunset is so beautifulγγγ," Wei Mo said stupidly, "In fact, give up all this, a sword, a flute, a confidant who laughs and talks about the world, a good scenery, and life is enough!" β
"Yes! But there are still many ties that we can't let go of, and we can't escape. Eleven sighed. Growing up in the palace, I am used to seeing too many things about "the beginning of people, sex is not good", and I don't understand the meaning of fighting everything and deceiving myself. I don't understand how difficult the life of the royal family is, how tragic the consequences of indisputable life can be, how tempting the supreme position of power is, and how vulnerable the royal family's affection is. But what will such a lack of understanding bring to him? Maybe it's the peace and smoothness of a lifetime!
"Therefore, we must be each other's best confidants, even if we can't fight together, we must maintain a faith." Qing Nuan turned around and thought about everything, just because she really didn't let go!
"Let's go, let's go down the mountain." Eleven didn't want to say anything, now he is no longer a little prince who is not noticed, and the imperial concubine has also begun to let him get in touch with the game in the palace, he doesn't know where his beliefs are, he just wants to live a life without a dispute like the eighth master, but reality doesn't seem to allow it.
"Well, let's go, otherwise you won't be able to go down the mountain after dark for a while." Qing Nuan looked at Eleven's frowning brows and smiled helplessly.
It was much easier to descend the mountain than to go up, but after walking down the mountain for a long time, I still didn't see the temple. Seeing that it was getting darker and darker, the maids around me also began to panic.
"Miss, I heard from the little guy in the house that there are wolves on this mountain, what should I do, Miss." Juan'er is always young, and she panics when she encounters something urgent.
"It's okay, you follow me and don't make a sound." Qing Nuan gently patted Juan'er's hand and comforted her.
"No, I'm lost, I've come here again." Eleven paused, looking at the mark he had just made on the tree.
"So what now, it's already dark. Someone is bound to come to us, are we going to wait here or keep trying? Wei Mo looked at Eleven and solicited it.
"It's not a way to wait like this, and I don't know how long it will take to wait for someone to find it. I think we'd better keep trying to walk while it's still late at night, what do you think? Eleven didn't see the laughter of the past, and the serious and serious appearance seemed to have grown a lot overnight.
"Well, I agree, let's try to go around that way." Qing Nuan pointed to another way, ready to try again.
"Missγγγ" The two maids beside Weimo also became scared and couldn't move their feet.
"You guys! I was quite bold before, why did I coax it like this! Wei Mo was a little angry, he was a young lady and didn't cry yet, the two maids were scared and cried, "Okay, don't cry, in this way, you all take me away." β
Wei Mo is still a knife-mouthed tofu heart.
A group of people walked along another road, Qing Nuan was very aware of the surrounding environment, and she felt that this road seemed to have a lot of people walking on it these days. But according to Eleven, very few people will continue to go up the mountain, so what are these inconspicuous imprints?
"Ahh
Yi let out a scream, and Qing Nuan rushed over, covering her mouth and making a silent gesture to the crowd.
In an instant, it seemed that only the sound of the wind in the mountains could be heard, and everyone was still here.
"Boss, someone's voice!"
"You two, go over there!"
Listening to the sound of progressive footsteps, everyone felt their entire nerves tense, as if they were about to suffocate.
"The sound is coming from over there! Moving on, this time we can't be sloppy at all. β
The sound of footsteps is getting closer and closer, and the sound of rubbing the dead leaves echoes in the mountains and forests.
Suddenly, Qing Nuan felt that Juan'er was holding her hand and letting go, and before Qing Nuan could turn her head to look, Juan'er rushed out desperately!
"Juan'er, don't!" Qing Nuan knew that she couldn't shout out about this, so she shouted vigorously with her breath.
Anyone can see what Juan'er wants to do, Qing Nuan covered her mouth with her hand vigorously, preventing herself from whimpering, her eyes looked straight at the direction where Juan'er disappeared, full of tears, and kept flowing down.
"Fourth, here, someone ran over!"
"Chase! There must be no mistake in this matter! β
Qing Nuan rushed out one by one, wanting to disturb those people's audio-visual, so that the possibility of Juan'er's survival would ,,, greater.
"Hmm" Eleven grabbed Qing Nuan, one hand tightly wrapped around Qing Nuan's two hands, and the other hand covered Qing Nuan's mouth tightly.
"Let's go!" Eleven said in a low voice.
Also, in their hearts, Juan'er's life is just a worthless slave who sold himself to the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, but her own life is the lifeblood of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion's family.
Eleven felt that Qing Nuan gradually calmed down, watching her eyes blankly being dragged by herself, and suddenly felt that she could also watch, a life, leave in front of herself, and only think about saving her life. Even if he didn't stop Qing Nuan, or rushed out by himself, the maid's life might not be savedγγγ and he found an excuse for himself not to feel guilty.
I don't know how long I have been gone, Qing Nuan seems to have gone numb. In the previous life, he thought of ways to harm so many people, and now he wants to save some people, but he seems so pale and powerless.
"I saw it, there are a lot of torches over there, they must have come up the mountain to find us!" Wei Mo has always supported himself from falling, and now that he is finally safe, his pale little face is instantly bright.
Eleven dragged Qing Nuan to the torch, as if everything was bright.
"Ninth Master, here, the eleventh prince and the two young ladies!" The soldiers who came up the hill shouted at high voices.
Jiu Ye walked over and looked at Qing Nuan being dragged by Eleven with blank eyes, her eyes were red, her face was covered with tears, her hair was a little messy, and her face looked pale against the background of the torches.
Did something happen to her γγγ? Lao Jiu was a little worried, but he didn't know how to ask.
Suddenly, Qing Nuan seemed to have just seen Lao Jiu, her eyes looked straight at Lao Jiu, she broke free from Eleven's hands, and held the corners of Lao Jiu's clothes tightly with both hands.
"Help me, help me save her!" Qing Nuan hissed at Lao Jiu, as if she was grasping a life-saving straw.
Jiu Ye looked at her hoarse appearance and didn't ask much.
"Wico, you escort Eleven and your sister back. The rest, follow me into the mountains! β
"Yes!" A loud shout shook the mountains.
"What's going on? In which direction is it approximately? Lao Jiu looked at Qing Nuan clutching a corner of himself, and felt that there was a place in his heart, which hurt when he was stripped of the ground.
"Follow the road on the left, it's Juan'erγγγ" Qing Nuan encouraged herself not to cry, trying to make herself express more clearly, "Juan'er went to lure those people away in order to save us." β
"Divided into two teams, one team followed the direction pointed out by Miss Guan to find the group, and the other team followed me to the lost person."
He just wants to comfort himself, "lost"? Qing Nuan pursed her lips self-deprecatingly.
Soon the soldiers began to separate and search the mountains, and Qing Nuan trotted to follow their pace, and the more a while, the more likely it was that Juan'er would survive.
"Ninth Master! Over there, I see the torches! The soldier in front shouted loudly.
"Let's go! Don't let any of them go! Lao Jiu didn't know how in his heart, and a wave of anger rose, as if something precious had been hurt.
"Big brother, someone is chasing after you over there!" The group numbered about twenty people, and their tents were set up right in a recess of the valley.
By the time they all woke up to the shouts of the sentry, Lao Jiu's men and horses had already surrounded the group.
"What about people?!" Qing Nuan wanted to rush over to question, but was stopped by Lao Jiu.
There are more than twenty of them, and they can no longer be held hostage in their hands.
"What people, I don't know what you're talking about! Brothers, come on! Rush out! The leader-like man gave the order.
In an instant, the sword light and sword shadow, Lao Jiu protected Qing Nuan in his arms with one hand, and avoided all attacks with one hand.
"Catch me alive!" Lao Jiu gave an order, and in his opinion, this matter must not be so simple.
The soldiers of the Shenji Battalion are not like ordinary soldiers, they are basically strictly trained, if they are ordinary rabble bandits, it is obviously not a problem, but this group of people is obviously not so simple.
"Phew!"
Lao Jiu released a signal flare, and in an instant, a group of black-clothed people rushed out from all sides.
After a while, except for the dozen or so who died, the remaining dozen or so were subdued.
Qing Nuan motioned for Lao Jiu to let go of himself and began to look for Juan'er in those people's camps.
As if her heart was hollowed out, Qing Nuan ignored the wound on her face that had just been scratched, and her tears couldn't stop flowing down, flowing to the wound, painful, but she didn't seem to feel it.
In a flash, Qing Nuan saw the corner of the clothes in the corner, which was the pale cyan jacket that Juan'er was wearing today.
Qing Nuan didn't dare to go over at this time, afraid of knowing the result that scared her.
Step by step, hanging his hands, he walked in and saw Juan'er's face. Messy hair, disheveled clothes, don't want to, and know what's going on.
Qing Nuan sat next to Juan'er.
"Juan'er?" Qing Nuan whispered her name, with a gentle smile on her face, "Juan'er? Don't make a fuss, let's go home. β
As if afraid of waking her, Qing Nuan hugged Juan'er's body and whispered her name.
Lao Jiu walked up to her and looked at her with tears on her face but gently hugged Juan'er and smiled. Slowly squatted down and took Qing Nuan's hand. He is not good with words, and this is his way of expressing comfort.
In this way, after a long time, Qing Nuan calmed down, but her eyes seemed to have lost that aura.
"Ninth Master, go home!" Qing Nuan no longer shed tears, calmly terrifying.
"Okay."
As she walked past the captives, Qing Nuan stopped and looked at the person who was called "Big Brother", her eyes were frighteningly cold.
Qing Nuan stopped, walked in front of the man, squatted down, pulled out the knife he was carrying, and rubbed it lightly on the man's face.
That person seemed to be afraid that Qing Nuan looked at him and sneered, don't overdo it.
"Don't be afraid." Qing Nuan said softly, "What I have is a way to make your life worse than death." β
Immediately, the knife was inserted into the little finger of the man's right hand, and the whole little finger was cut off.
Lao Jiu looked at Qing Nuan's ruthless appearance, and suddenly felt that this little girl, who was only ten years old, was so incomprehensible.
Qing Nuan slowly took out the handkerchief, wiped the blood stains on her hands, and threw it in front of the man.
