Chapter Seventy-Two: Caught
Qing Ling took Mo Ziyu and continued to rush towards Beixia, but when he was about to arrive, a team of people suddenly rushed out in front of him. These men were about twenty or thirty men, riding horses and wearing red scarves on their heads.
The comer was not good, Qingling whistled briefly, and after a while, dozens of secret guards appeared.
"What's going on?" Mo Ziyu listened and asked with a frown.
"Someone is blocking it. Qing Ling said, "Don't panic, girl, the secret guards are on the left and right, and it will be fine." ”
"Hmm. Mo Ziyu nodded, "Ahead is Qi Muxuan's person?"
"You can't go wrong. Qing Ling said, "Mulan's ambition is not dead, and it is indeed an unstable factor for Northern Xia. ”
As he spoke, the men wearing red scarves in front of them pulled out their sabers at their waists and attacked them.
The dark guard is full of murderous aura and fights.
The sound of hand-to-hand combat came, approaching.
Mo Ziyu was riding on a horse, because his eyes could not see, he did not know the battle situation in front of him, and he could only judge by his voice. Qing Ling guarded her side, looking at everything in front of her with a calm face, she quickly ignited all the time, and the soldiers in front of her saw this signal, and they would definitely send troops to increase their troops.
When the battle between the two sides was in full swing, I saw a team of soldiers equipped with Northern Xia equipment coming.
A man arrived on horseback, hugged his fists and said, "Girl, what's the matter?"
"After they are broken, you can escort us into the customs. Qing Ling said, she then turned her head to Mo Ziyu and said, "Our people are here, let's go back to the city first, the sword here has no eyes, I'm afraid of hurting you." ”
Mo Ziyu nodded.
The soldiers of Northern Xia escorted the two back first.
It's just that he hasn't walked for a while, but the soldier at the head suddenly stopped everyone, he glanced at Qing Ling and Mo Ziyu coldly, and said, "Two girls, I'm afraid they want to go with us!"
Qing Ling's face changed, and he hurriedly asked, "You are also Qi Muxuan's people?"
"We don't want to be rude, two girls, please!"
"The girl goes first, the city gate is in front!" Qing Ling said and slapped the whip in his hand towards Mo Ziyu's horse's buttocks, and after the horse lifted its front hooves and neighed, it ran forward, and Mo Ziyu hurriedly grabbed the reins of the horse. Crouch on horseback.
Her breathing began to rapid, and because she couldn't see, let alone know what was going on around her, her mind was in chaos, and her whole person panicked.
At this moment, a red shadow floated and landed on Mo Ziyu's horse, stopping her horse.
Her fingers lightly touched Mo Ziyu's cheek, and Mo Ziyu immediately trembled.
"Tsk, you can't look scared!" a delicate voice came, "it's our fault, we shouldn't have scared you like this." ”
"Matchmaker?" Mo Ziyu asked.
"Do you hear my voice?" the matchmaker smiled slightly, "Originally, we may not see each other again, I didn't expect you to be so incomprehensible that you had to get involved with Qi Qi and cure him, isn't this forcing the young master to kill you?
As she spoke, she turned her horse's head and ran in the opposite direction.
Mo Ziyu pulled out the dagger hidden in her boots and wanted to fight back, but she didn't know martial arts and was not the matchmaker's opponent at all, so she quickly snatched the dagger and clicked on the acupoint.
"Girl!" Qing Ling called out, wanting to catch up, but was entangled by the people in front of him, and could only watch Mo Ziyu's figure disappear into the sky.
When Mo Ziyu woke up again, she was tied up with a rope and tied to the back of a tree, she couldn't see, she didn't know if it was day or night at the moment, and there was silence around her.
She tried to break free of the ropes, but to no avail.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps, and she immediately pretended to be asleep.
The matchmaker brought some food, squatted in front of Mo Ziyu, and said, "Eat something, don't pretend, I saw you wake up just now." ”
Mo Ziyu slowly got up, swallowed his saliva, and asked, "What about Qi Muxuan?"
"The young master is busy now, there are too many people he wants to meet, how can he have time to deal with you, how can you say that you are also a person who is going to die?" ”
"Since it's so glorious, why don't you go to be sacrificed?" Mo Ziyu said sarcastically.
"I'd be happy to be a sacrifice if I needed to. The matchmaker said, "It's quite encouraging to have you this year." You talk about you, there are good days, but you have to rely on yourself to go into the rivers and lakes, you are not an ordinary person with an ordinary identity, your existence is a thorn in the side of many people, so if you want to leave the umbrella, you must have extraordinary ability, but you, I don't know whether you overestimate your ability or underestimate the sinister of people's hearts, otherwise you will not fall to this point. ”
"What time is it?" Mo Ziyu asked.
"It's evening. The matchmaker said, "You can eat your last meal." ”
"This is the place where you want to worship?" Mo Ziyu asked again.
The matchmaker raised her eyebrows: "It seems that Qi Qi told you everything, and he also asked you to escape, right?" But none of these escaped from the young master's grasp, since the young master wants to sacrifice you, you can't escape." ”
Mo Ziyu fumbled to the location of the food, picked up a steamed bun and ate it.
The matchmaker looked at her interestingly and asked, "At this time, can you still eat?"
"How can you have the strength to run away without eating?" asked Mo Ziyu.
"This is the deep mountains and old forests, surrounded by our people, how can you escape as a blind man?" the matchmaker smiled mockingly, "Don't be in vain, let's accept your fate." ”
Mo Ziyu took two bites of steamed buns and asked, "Why can't my eyes see? ”
"Knowing that you are a skilled doctor, it is not easy to poison you, but what if two things are mixed?" the matchmaker smiled, "When Liu Xu came to Nanchu to negotiate, didn't you fall asleep after drinking a cup of the young master's poisoned wine?" Later, Mi Zi came to ask for the antidote, and the young master also gave it, but there is indeed an extra medicinal herb in this antidote......
After a pause, she continued: "Later, that day you were thrown white powder in the Dongkaihou Mansion, you thought that you had detoxified, but you didn't expect that there was a medicine in the antidote prescription, and when combined with the medicine added by the young master before, it would lead to your current results. ”
"I see. Mo Ziyu nodded, "Qi Muxuan is really good, I am convinced." ”
"Hmph. The matchmaker snorted lightly and got up to leave.
Mo Ziyu let himself calm down as much as possible and analyzed the current situation.
Qing Ling knows where this place is, and he will definitely find a way to find it.
And I have also discussed with Situ Zhuxing before, if he is really arrested here, let him go to Cai Jing immediately and let Cai Jing send someone over!
Now we can't be in a hurry, we can't mess up.
But I don't know how much time has passed, Mo Ziyu heard two more footsteps, the two didn't say anything, after untying the rope on Mo Ziyu's hand, the two of them took Mo Ziyu all the way.
Mo Ziyu smelled the smell of oil, and she was then tied to a piece of wood.
"This woman is the side concubine of Liu Xu, the prince of Northern Xia, and today it fell into our hands, and we will sacrifice her body as a sacrifice to comfort our ancestors and brothers who have passed away, and her sinful soul will also be redeemed, and she will become a clean person in the next life!"
An old voice began to speak, and he kept inciting the emotions of the people below, making the people's expressions more and more fanatical.
At the end of the day, everyone was yelling, "Burn her, burn her!"
Qi Muxuan looked at this scene with satisfaction, although he had always disliked the custom of this life sacrifice, but now it seems that a small Jiang Liu can unite the clansmen It is also her creation.
"Childe, Qi Qi is also here, just below. The matchmaker said.
"He wants to come to the rescue?" Qi Muxuan asked.
"No, he didn't bring many people with him, he probably just wanted to attend this party. The matchmaker said, "But I will still send someone to follow him, and I won't let him have any chance to make trouble." ”
"Hmm. Qi Muxuan nodded lightly, "It's almost time, let's start the ceremony!"
The matchmaker glanced at the subordinate next to her, and the subordinate nodded, and immediately picked up the long horn in her hand and blew it.
The old man on the altar walked down slowly, waved his hand, and called, "Come, bring the torch." ”
"Wait a minute. At this time, Qi Qi said something to stop him, and he got up with a cane, "Jiang Liu is my savior, I will focus on the overall situation of the clan, and I will not let you let her go, but I will say goodbye to her, you will not and will not agree, right?"
"If Master Hou wants to say goodbye to her, remember to hurry up, the time for this sacrifice is almost up. The old man said.
"Understood!" Qi Qi slowly walked towards Jiang Liu, sighed in her ear, and said, "You still haven't run away, I said, I have a hunch, we will meet again." ”
He raised his hand and tidied up Mo Ziyu's messy hair: "I'm sorry, I can't save you on this occasion!" But believe me, after you die, Qi Muxuan will be even more sad." ”
After he finished speaking, he slowly walked down the altar, smiled at the old man, and said, "I'm done saying goodbye to her, now I can start the sacrifice!"
"Hmm!" the old man nodded, touched his white beard, and ordered his men to bring the torches.
He stood on the edge of the altar, and continued to say something in his mouth, and the flame of the torch in his hand leaped and jumped.
