Chapter 277: Leave
Lao Dao's face was pale, he hadn't closed his eyes all night, and at this moment, under the service of several disciples, he was standing in the room with his hair messy, his eyes full of uneasiness.
"Regret should not be suffered, regret should not be suffered." The corners of his mouth couldn't stop muttering this sentence.
When several disciples heard this, their eyes were all glancing at the brocade box containing the pill that was placed on the desk, and no one dared to say anything.
After a long time, a disciple raised his eyes and glanced at Lao Dao, cowardly for a few moments, and said with great difficulty: "Master, Shimen is waiting for us to reply to the reaction of His Highness after the incident in the capital." ”
"Reaction?" When the old Taoist heard this, the corners of his mouth seemed to be unconsciously chattering, and then he walked two steps slowly, picked up the brocade box on the table, turned around, stared at the disciple with bloodshot eyes, slowly raised the brocade box in his hand, stared at the brocade box for a long time, and finally sat down slowly, lowered his head and said: "Go, reply to the master, just say that we have done the errand of His Highness, His Highness is very happy, specially summoned me to go, I am glad to be rewarded, and I will be rewarded with a treasure nine yuan pill for encouragement." ”
As soon as the words fell, several disciples in the room glanced at each other, and no one really reported like this, so they had to bow their heads again and remain silent.
Outside the hospital, the sound of orderly footsteps gradually became quieter.
Gradually, only the sound of the wind echoed outside the window, and the popularity of this courtyard slowly disappeared.
Lao Dao got up slowly, walked to the window, looked out the window, but saw no figure.
He knew that they were the only ones left in this courtyard, and a feeling of being abandoned by the Ming Palace's Mansion came so clearly.
Lao Dao closed his eyes slightly, his beard trembled slightly, and the urge in his heart to roar wildly was very intense.
How much effort did he make King Ming let go of his heart knot for the Daomen and entrust them with a heavy responsibility!
How much hard work has it taken to finally be able to integrate into the Ming Wangfu system!
When the fog finally cleared and he saw the bright hope, all his efforts were so easily destroyed by the master, and all his hard work was in vain.
"Let's go!" Lao Dao took a deep breath, sighed again, with a little dazed in his eyes, and turned to the disciples.

……
Mo Bai wants to leave Mingzhu, of course, it is not easy.
After all, he is the number one enemy of the barbarian in Mingzhu, and in order to find him, the power that the barbarian invested in Mingzhu is really amazing.
It can be said that there are not many people in the entire Pearl who don't know Mo Bai's appearance now, and if he appears on the street, he will inevitably be detected by the barbarians in an instant.
If you want to pass through the high-security Pearl ports, it will be even more difficult.
Although on the surface, since Mo Bai beheaded the Grandmaster of the Banner Country, the barbarian did not recruit people from the cultivation world to enter Mingzhu to encircle and suppress Mo Bai.
But anyone who has a little brain, can definitely think that in order to deal with King Ming and recover the lost prestige, the flag country will definitely not count the blood cost.
In this Pearl Province, I don't dare to say whether there is a real person stationed in an emergency, but it is certain that there must be a lot of grandmaster realms in their secret subterfuge, after all, even if they are not the opponent of King Ming, but at least King Ming appears a little, at least they can immediately sense his qi.
To deal with King Ming, you can rely on thousands of troops, but if you want to find him, you have to rely on people in the cultivation world.
Therefore, it is indeed not easy for Mo Bai to leave, it is much more difficult than when Mr. Du left, after all, for the two, the strength invested by the barbarian is not the same at all.
But, with this impregnable wall, Mo Bai really can't get out?
At this moment, a passenger ship bound for Yuezhou is slowly moving away.
In a private room on the second floor of the cabin, dressed in plain robes, he stood at the window looking back at the pearl with his hands in his hands.
He had a light complexion, a calm temperament, and did not leave in embarrassment.
It wasn't until the boat was moving away that Mo Bai slowly turned around, sat down at the head of the bed, and looked up at the opposite side of the bed.
The box was a double bunk, and at the moment opposite him, there was one more person.
But it was a woman, about twenty-eight years old, dressed in a white dress, with a semicircular hat with a warped corner, and the whole looked like a new-school lady.
Looking at her appearance, not to mention beauty and ugliness, but she was very beautiful, but at the moment she hung her head slightly, peeling an orange in her hand, and never looked up at Mo Bai on the other side, but she seemed to be in a bad mood.
Mo Bai looked at her, his eyes were rarely soft, his lips moved, and he said, "Don't worry, if the ship leaves the port, there will be no more trouble!" ”
When the woman heard this, she still lowered her head and peeled the orange, as if Mo Bai was not talking to her.
Mo Bai saw that she was silent and didn't answer, but she didn't seem to know what to say, her eyes gradually lowered, and the atmosphere became a little strange.
Fortunately, at this time, in the private room next door, there was a faint whisper to break the silence.
"I saw the movement at the port just now, something happened in the city again!"
"I have already found out, I'm afraid this time is not a trivial matter, you don't know that I was delayed on the road for a while before, but not only here at the port, it seems that the soldiers and horses of the entire pearl have moved, and military vehicles are constantly heading towards Xicheng."
"Alas, it's an eventful season, I just hope that there won't be another bleeding case!"
"That's it, the wall has ears, it's better to be careful, we're finally leaving, I just don't know what year we will come back?"
It can be seen that the shadow of the barbarian is too deep in people's hearts, even if they are far away from the pearl at this moment, floating on this sea, the fear in people's hearts still exists, and even when they speak, they are still worried.
Mo Bai raised his head again, glanced at the endless sky outside the window, and said softly at the corner of his mouth again: "The situation in Mingzhu is getting more and more complicated, in order to deal with me, as long as there is the slightest news, the barbarians will immediately be soldiers, this is a place of right and wrong, it is better to leave early!" ”
Hearing this, the woman on the other side finally raised her head to look at Mo Bai, her eyes flashed with an inscrutable meaning, these eyes did not match her age and dress.
There was a complication that didn't match it at all, and she stared at Mo Bai for a long time: "Does this have anything to do with me?" ”
Hearing this, Mo Bai looked at the woman with his eyes, and after a while, Mo Bai withdrew his eyes, lowered his head, took off his boots, sat cross-legged, and closed his eyes.
The woman looked at his strange and familiar face, and her eyes gradually reddened.
But finally, she lowered her head and continued to peel the orange in her hand, but said in a low voice: "Mr. is noble, but I am just an ordinary person, and Mr. suddenly came to look for me, I am afraid that I will get into trouble." ”
Mo Bai closed his eyes and meditated, his fingers twitched slightly when he heard the words, but he didn't open his eyes in the end.
The woman peeled the orange, but did not eat it, put it on the bedside table, silently pulled open the quilt, and wrapped her whole body and head inside.
After a long time, a voice came from the quilt: "I heard rumors that Mr. has been coming to Mingzhu for a long time, I don't know if it's true or not......"
Mo Bai opened his eyes and looked at the bed, opening his mouth to speak, but all he saw was the tightly covered quilt, he slowly closed his mouth, slowly looked away, and looked at the peeled orange.
Some long-ago memories suddenly came to mind, and after a long silence, Mo Bai picked up the peeled oranges on the table, put a petal in his mouth, and said softly: "It's been a long time!" ”
"So......" The woman buried herself in the quilt, as if she wanted to ask something, but she was afraid to ask.
Mo Bai lowered his head and ate the orange, his eyes moved, and he still said: "My situation is not clear in a sentence or two, although I have been here in Mingzhu for a long time, I have never been really safe." ”
When the words fell, the person in the quilt moved, she showed her head, and her eyes were slightly red staring at Mo Bai: "Sure enough, you have already had news of me, and you have always known where I am!" ”
Mo Bai raised his head to look at her, this face was familiar to him, but in the face of this question, he still didn't admit it so directly.
But in the end, he still nodded: "The first time I heard from you was three years ago. ”
"Three years ago......" The woman finally burst into tears, her teeth trembled slightly, and she buried her head in the quilt again.
"At that time, I was in an uncertain situation, and there was danger around me at any time." Mo Bai explained.
"Can it be more dangerous than it is now?" The voice in the quilt was visibly excited.
"It's different, you were safe before, but now you can't stay in Mingzhu anymore." Mo Bai shook his head and said calmly.
There was no response from the quilt, Mo Bai finished eating the orange and looked out the window again, he knew that some misunderstanding had been generated.
Sure enough, when the person in the quilt stopped trembling, a slightly indifferent question came: "I'm afraid it's not a question of safety at all, but now you need a ferry ticket, someone who can cover your safe exit from Mingzhu, so you came to me." ”
Mo Bai slowly closed his eyes, he had no intention of dwelling on these.
In the cabin, it slowly fell silent.
I don't know how long it took, the woman on the bed, uncovered the quilt, she looked at Mo Bai again, stared at it for a long time, she suddenly got up and took out her bag, and put makeup on herself in the small mirror.
After a while, his posture had recovered, his mood had calmed down, his voice had returned to naturalness, and he said calmly: "Finally got acquainted, I will send you to northern Jiangsu, after arriving in northern Jiangsu, I will get off the boat, you take care of yourself." ”
Mo Bai opened his eyes and stared at the woman: "Mingzhu, you can't stay any longer, you have to leave, I will arrange for you to go to the capital!" ”
The woman raised her head: "Didn't you just say that?" It's not safe to be around you. Besides, I'm just an ordinary person, and I don't dare to get married to you. ”
"Now it's different, the barbarians do everything to deal with me, even the lives of ordinary people who have nothing to do with me, they can use them to blackmail me, once they find out about you, the consequences will be unimaginable, so even if it's not safe around me, you have to leave with me." Mo Bai didn't argue with her, but said in a deep voice.
"Find me? Who's going to check me? I'm just an orphan, even if I used to have something to do with you with your honorable status, but what is that? These things, even you don't remember anymore, who cares about other people? The woman shook her head, chuckling mockingly.
Mo Bai shook his head: "You have grown up, you have your own thoughts, there are some things I can't make clear to you in a sentence or two, and you won't believe it when you say it, but some misunderstandings are really unnecessary, and they only add to your troubles." ”
"We didn't misunderstand!" The woman's expression was calm.
Mo Bai bowed his head: "The reason why I was able to leave Mingzhu was not because you gave me a ticket, nor because you were by my side, just at the dock where we just offshore, there were originally capable people guarding there, but in the early morning of this day, the barbarian suddenly found out where I lived, so the entire Mingzhu's soldiers were urgently assembled for this matter, if nothing else, at this moment they should have raided my stronghold, and it was precisely because of this sudden incident that their eyes were all shifted to the past, so I was able to get on the ship safe and sound." ”
Speaking of this, Mo Bai looked at the woman again: "If I am really down to the point where I need your help to leave the pearl, how can the barbarian still regard me as an undying enemy?" ”
When the woman heard this, her eyes trembled, and it was difficult to distinguish the meaning.
The conversation in the compartment just now, coupled with Mo Bai's words at this time, is difficult to refute, but Mo Bai has been looking for her for many years and has known her whereabouts for many years, and when she looks for her, it is to ask for help, she really can't think about it.
But even if this question is aside, the woman still can't let go of this sudden meeting, she lowered her head: "What if I don't go with you?" ”
"Gotta go!" Mo Bai closed his eyes.
"Are you really worried about my life or death? Or are you afraid that in the future others will know that you have a sister who was raised by traitors? The woman looked out the window.
Mo Bai's fist clenched, but slowly let go: "It's still the same sentence, you have grown up, you have your thoughts, the knot in your heart, over time, you can naturally find the answer, but now that you still recognize me as an elder brother, then I must take you away!" ”
"I didn't recognize you!" The woman looked back at him with her eyes closed.
Mo Bai didn't say anything more, if he really didn't admit it, the two of them wouldn't be in the same boat at the moment.
