Chapter 18: The Drama Spirit
"How can I leave you alone?You still came with me because I asked you to come with me......" Bei Tang Xuan grabbed Nangong Mu's arm tightly and said excitedly, "How could I do such an ungrateful thing?"
"If you stay, neither of us will survive...... Besides, if your identity is found out, then there will be a big trouble!" Nangong Mu took down the hand that Bei Tang Xuan was holding his arm, and said earnestly, "I have my own way! It's just that you go first and wait for me at the foot of Basui Mountain...... I'll be right after that!"
"But......" Bei Tang Xuan wanted to say something, but Nangong Mu suddenly interrupted him, "Don't be, look at you now, we won't be able to leave if you don't leave!"
Nangong Mu took off the saber on his waist, handed it to Bei Tang Xuan, and said, "You keep it for me first, and I'll come to you to get it later!"
Bei Tang Xuan took the sword, looked at Nangong Mu, and said, "I remember everything you did for me today!"
"I know, I know, I have to pay back all the favors I owe, you can go quickly!" Nangong Mu said and urged him, Bei Tang Xuan glanced at her, and finally walked down the mountain slowly.
Nangong Mu watched him walk away, turned his head and ran into the mountains. She ran to the river, took off the cloth that covered her face, and took off her night clothes, revealing the white robe inside. He threw his nightcoat into the grass, scattered his hair, and tied a woman's hair in a bun. She slowly squatted down and touched two handfuls of mud and wiped them on her face. He reached out again and pulled the clothes on his body, and in an instant, the clothes were all covered with mud.
She looked at her reflection in the water, looking sickly and weak. She nodded with satisfaction, stood up and walked towards the mountain, and sure enough, she didn't take a few steps before she saw the guards of the Jiufang family.
"Who?" One of the guards shouted at her, and in an instant he jumped out of the woods and held his sword to her neck. Another voice quickly came to him.
"Ah...... I...... I ......" Nangong Mu looked terrified, and he couldn't say anything clearly.
"She's so suspicious...... Take it back and show it to Your Highness!" said the guard holding her neck to the guard next to him, and the other guard nodded in return. He carried her into the depths of the woods.
Just where Bei Tang Xuan and the cloaked man were fighting, a Pegasus stood quietly aside. Next to Pegasus, a man is crouching, examining the blood on the ground. He turned his back to Nangong Mu and couldn't see his face clearly. The maroon cloak on his back is particularly eye-catching. He held up his blood-stained fingers, seemed to observe for a while, looked at it, and then leaned over to his nose to smell it.
"Your Highness, catch a suspicious woman!" the guard shouted at the man who was squatting on the ground, and immediately threw Nangong Mu out, and she fell to the ground with a thud. Hearing this, the man stood up and turned around, looking at Nangong Mu with an expressionless face. After a while, a few people came from other places, and Nangong Mu breathed a sigh of relief. The others also returned, and no one would find Bei Tang Xuan.
The man was dressed in a military uniform, but the bun on his head was very simple, and his face was full of heroism, and he asked coldly, "Who are you?"
Nangong Mu secretly guessed in his heart that his tone was very cold, but it was not as cold as the Nine Directions Moon Evil embedded in the bone marrow. Who is he? The guards called him His Highness, His Highness of the Jiufang Family, except for the Jiufang Moon Evil, there is only ...... That His Highness is in the Nine Directions!
"I'm wronged......" Nangong Mu said tremblingly, and as he spoke, he raised his head with a twitch and wiped away his tears that didn't exist at all. He continued, "The daughter was originally from a small family outside Basui Mountain, and she just got married two months ago, but just last month, my husband had to come to Basui Mountain to find nephrite jade to make a fortune......! A few days ago, I couldn't resist coming out to look for him! I wanted to see people alive and corpses when I died. Can...... But as soon as I entered the mountain, I met the snake...... I was almost eaten! Fortunately, a strong man wearing a cloak rescued me, and the folk girl was spared!"
Nangong Mu said, "sobbed" again, and then said, "I just ...... I was just about to go down the mountain, but I was caught!"
"Who is the man in the cloak?" Jiufang Rize asked again, his brows furrowed, like a deep ravine.
Nangong Mu shook his head like a drum, looking very frightened, and his voice trembled, "I don't know!" He was wearing a black cloak, he couldn't see his face clearly, he was injured in the fight with the snake, and broke one of the snake's teeth!"
"Your Highness, the snake has indeed lost a tooth!" said one of the guards towards the Nine Directions.
"Is there anything special about him?" asked the guard next to Jiufang Hizawa as he stepped forward.
"No......" Nangong Mu lowered his head in thought, paused for a moment and raised his head again, and whispered, "I remembered...... His sword glowed red!"
"Are you sure it's red?" Jiufang Hizawa was surprised, and he and his guards both showed incredible expressions.
"Yes!" Nangong Mu nodded firmly, and said, "The red light emitted by his sword is dazzling! He scared away the snake, was injured, and walked in the northwest direction. ”
After Jiufang Rize lowered his head and pondered for a moment, he waved his hand at Nangong Mu and said, "Let's go!"
Nangong Mu was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly said excitedly, "Thank you, Your Highness, the people's daughter will retire!"
"Your Highness, there are obviously many loopholes in what she said, there are two pools of blood on the ground, and there are traces of fighting around it, which are clearly man-made. Why don't you torture them?" The guard next to Jiufang Rize walked up and looked at Jiufang Rize and said, "You obviously found out, why don't you ......?"
Nangong Mu had already scolded the ancestor of the guard thousands of times in his heart, and was thinking about a countermeasure to escape, when he heard Jiufang Rize seem to be very tired, "In this matter, I don't want to kill again." ”
Nangong Mu secretly wondered in his heart, what would make the eldest son of the Jiufang family want to be merciful?
"Yes!" the guard said, stepping back.
Nangong Mu got up slowly, and was about to leave, when suddenly a familiar call came from the depths of the dense forest, and said, "Big brother!"
The voice that was cold to the bone marrow rang in her ears, and her whole body shook. Is that...... Nangong Mu really wanted to cry at this moment, the two brothers of the Jiufang family, are they all doing nothing? What are you doing running towards Basui Mountain? She raised her head and saw the Nine Directions Moon Evil coming from a distance. He was still dressed like Mei Lin, and the man who was shouting was also following him.
"You're back, and that's it?" Kufang Hizawa asked towards his younger brother.
Nangong Mu turned around and slowly retreated, wanting to leave quietly.
"Hmm!" Jiufang Yuexie agreed softly, but his eyes wandered on Nangong Mu and asked, "Who is she?"
Nangong Mu's whole heart trembled, and his breathing stagnated, like a man's back. She took a deep breath and slowly stepped back.
"It's just an irrelevant person!" said Kufang Hizawa as if he didn't mind her appearance and departure at all.
"Oh?" Jiufang Yuexie let out a sigh with interest, slowly retracted his gaze, and then said, "Is it worth your trouble?"
