Volume 2 Xin Guo Chapter 67 Into the Wolf's Den Again

The blue and white light of dawn was revealed in the mountains, Bai Yanxiao slowly opened his eyes, got used to it a little, and then turned his head sideways, and saw that Mu Wanci was sleeping soundly by Wei Qingcheng on the side, and his clothes were still covered with his clothes, and he was wearing Mu Wanci's coat.

Water droplets drip from the stone pillars in the cave, making a light sound. There was already a waterlogged pit under the pillar. Bai Yanxiao got up slowly, picked up the water bag she was carrying, took some water and put it next to Mu Wanci, looking at her sister peacefully pillowing in Wei Qingcheng's arms, the corners of Bai Yanxiao's eyes were slightly moved, how good it was to find such a man who would never leave her. Bai Yanxiao gently leaned over and walked out.

In the deep forest, the leaves are glowing with a cold light, and the morning is slightly dewed, and there is a little comfort. Bai Yanxiao's long eyelashes fell, remembering that day Gu Beiyu was hiding at the tail of that group of killers, and remembering Fu Xun's sorry yesterday...... What made them this far...... Bai Yanxiao closed his eyes in pain.

"Ahem...... Ahem......" An extremely muffled cough sound was heard not far away. Bai Yan smiled and looked for it, but saw that on the other side of the cave, Wei Qingcheng was trying his best to suppress his voice and coughing, and his muscles were bursting up, and it seemed that the pain was unbearable.

"Brother Wei......" Bai Yan smiled lightly, and was about to turn around to get the water bag but was stopped by Wei Qingcheng.

"Don't go, you'll wake her up." Wei Qingcheng said, wiping the corners of his mouth, but Bai Yanxiao could see clearly, and the palm of his hand was like a blood stain.

"Your ..... sick," Bai Yanxiao was shocked.

"She doesn't know, don't tell her." Wei Qingcheng's expression was extremely serious.

"It's me who has caused you and my sister to suffer." Bai Yanxiao felt guilty in his heart.

"Silly girl, what nonsense, you are the only relative of the word." Wei Qingcheng said softly, and walked forward with difficulty, "If you don't go back, it's time for the words to wake up." ”

Wei Qingcheng didn't sit in a bamboo wheelchair, it was very difficult to walk, Bai Yan smiled and wanted to help, but saw Wei Qingcheng shake his hand and said: "It's okay, don't stay too long, the mountains are cold, and you will be worried if you are sick." ”

Bai Yanxiao watched Wei Qingcheng hold on to the stone wall and walk into the cave weakly, his heart was like a stone blocked, and he felt a dull pain. The fingertips slid to the pendant around his waist, and his heart was infinitely nostalgic.

The pursuit day by day made Wei Qingcheng's subordinates fewer and fewer, and the road was bumpy, and Wei Qingcheng, who had a stubborn illness, was almost getting worse.

In the distance, several guards came over and leaned over to Wei Qingcheng and said, "Master! There was a family in front of them that was quite clean, and his subordinates had given them silver taels to prepare rooms and things. ”

Wei Qingcheng nodded.

Several people came to a farmhouse at the foot of the mountain, and immediately a pair of grandparents came to greet them, and the elderly man looked kind: "Nobleman, please come in, Cui'er, lead the way for your nobleman." ”

A plainly dressed girl of about ten years old smiled sweetly: "Two sisters, please come with me!" ”

Bai Yanxiao suddenly had a good impression: "What a sweet little girl, there are only two of you grandchildren in the family?" ”

The old man smiled: "Originally, I was alone, and I picked this girl up as a companion." ”

Bai Yanxiao and Mu Wanci lived in one room, with half a room to eat in the middle, and Wei Qingcheng's room on the other side. After a few people had eaten and settled, they gathered at the middle table to discuss countermeasures.

Mu Wanci drew a rough map of the three kingdoms of Xin, Fu and Xiao, at this time they had escaped from Xin and were on the way to Fu Guo, and there were two roads further ahead, one was the official road, and the other was to cross the Hanling Mountains at the junction of the two countries. The Hanling Mountains are located in a treacherous location, with dense forests and eerie abysses, as well as high mountains covered with snow all year round.

Wei Qingcheng pondered: "After the victory of the Xin State, Fu Guo was eager to marry and now offended the Xiao State, even if Yaohua's people chased and killed, they would not be too arrogant when they arrived in Fu State. Fu Guo still has the rudder of my dark mansion, cross this mountain range, and we will be safe. ”

Mu Wanci frowned: "The terrain of the Hanling Mountains is dangerous, the temperature and climate are difficult to set a certainty, and it is already unpredictable for ordinary people to cross it, how can your body withstand it anymore!" ”

Bai Yanxiao pondered for a moment and said, "Do you have to go to Fu Guo to be safe?" ”

Hearing this, Mu Wanci and Wei Qingcheng both looked at her in surprise: "What do you mean?" ”

Bai Yan smiled: "Yaohua must know that we will go back to Fuguo, and at this time, we must be ambushed along the way." What if we make a dangerous move and go to Xiao State? ”

Mu Wanzi said: "It's not that I haven't thought about this method, but the risk is extremely high, you are all my most important people, and I don't want you to be in the slightest danger." ”

Wei Qingcheng was silent for a moment and said: "This plan is feasible, we can divide the troops into two ways, I will send someone to pretend to be you to go to the Hanling Mountain Range, and order my subordinates to escort you, the more solemn the pretending will be, let's take the opportunity to go to Xiao State, but you must not bring your subordinates with you." ”

Mu Wanzi said: "Since you have all decided, I naturally agree, but I just went to Xiao Guo, Ah Yan, do you know what to do?" ”

Bai Yanxiao didn't speak, looking into the distance, his eyes cold.

Wei Qingcheng found the movement and looked at the door: "Who?"

I saw the old woman coming with a cup: "It's me who made you tea." ”

Only then did Wei Qingcheng relax his vigilance and smile gently: "It's hard work." ”

Bai Yanxiao turned around and saw Cui'er standing at the door, looking at her with her round eyes, and couldn't help asking, "Little girl, what's wrong?" ”

Cui'er walked in, raised her trembling little hand and stroked the scar on Bai Yanxiao's cheek and said, "Sister, does it hurt?" ”

Bai Yan was stunned for a moment.

Cui'er took out a freshly picked dandelion: "Mother-in-law used to say that dandelions have the effect of skin rejuvenation and internal tone, and my sister gave it to you." ”

Bai Yanxiao's eyes were a little misty, and he couldn't help hugging Cui'er: "Thank you." ”

"Okay, Cui'er, let's go out, don't disturb the nobles."

Bai Yanxiao kept watching the grandparents and grandchildren walk away, and she had mixed feelings in her heart. Mu Wanci on the side looked thoughtful, lowered her head and took a sip of tea, but she was stunned as if she remembered something, and then glanced at the grandfather and grandson suspiciously.

"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Wei Qingcheng's care came from his ears.

"I think this pair of ancestors and grandchildren ......" Mu Wan was interrupted by Bai Yanxiao in the middle of her words, and she could only hear, "They are also pitiful." ”

Mu Wanci had to put away her thoughts.

Bai Yanxiao rested in the bamboo house for a day, Cui'er came over from time to time to ask for warmth, and would timidly pull Bai Yanxiao to tell stories, Bai Yanxiao looked at the child in front of him with pity in his heart, and became more and more greedy for the warmth brought by the grandchildren.

Early in the morning, Bai Yanxiao still got up to practice swords.

Obviously, he taught him a lot of swordsmanship at the beginning, but she always involuntarily practiced the swordsmanship taught by Gu Beiyu outside the barracks that day, as if reminding herself how she became an outcast. Normally, Fu Xun would sit on the sidelines and watch himself dance the sword, but now, even he is gone.

There was a sound of footsteps next to her, and Cui'er timidly held a bowl of water: "Sister Bai, drink some hot soup when you're tired!" This is what Grandma just did in the morning! ”

Bai Yan smiled gently and took the bowl: "Why did Xiao Cui'er get up so early?" What about your grandmother? ”

"Grandmother went to sell eggs!"

Bai Yanxiao squatted down and asked, "Cui'er, do you know how to go to Xiao Guo nearby?" ”

"Xiao Guo? Sister is going to Xiao Guo? Cui'er suddenly asked nervously, Bai Yanxiao frowned slightly, and Cui'er hurriedly covered it up again, "Climb over the hill in front of you, and then follow the official road to the east for ten miles to the border of Xiao Kingdom." ”

"Is there a way not to take the official road?"

"That's from the lake behind this hill, or by water!"

Bai Yanxiao pondered, "Why are you so nervous? ”

Cui'er fluttered her eyelashes: "I just heard that Xiao Guo has been in a mess recently, I'm worried about my sister, sister, drink soup!" ”

Bai Yan smiled and thought about the journey, but he didn't think much about it, picked up the soup bowl and was about to drink it, but he was grabbed by a strong wrist, and he didn't have time to react, only heard the sound of "bang", the soup bowl shattered, and the soup spilled all over the ground.

Bai Yanxiao was stunned and looked at the person who came: "Sister Mu? ”

Mu Wanci's eyes were cold, and she grabbed Cui'er: "Why do you want to poison?" ”

Na Cui'er's eyes were flustered, and she looked aggrieved: "Sister, what are you talking about?" How could I be poisoned? ”

Bai Yan looked at Mu Wanci suspiciously: "Sister has evidence?" ”

Mu Wanci stared at Cui'er coldly: "I went to the kitchen just now and saw an uncleaned white medicinal powder on the stove, who are you?" ”

Cui'er hurriedly shook her head, crying: "Sister, what are you talking about?!" I don't understand! I just served soup to Sister Bai, and the powder was just white flour. ”

Mu Wanci sneered: "You finally admit it." In fact, there was no white powder on the stove at all, I lied to you, but you were in a hurry to cover it up and admit it. ”

Cui'er sat down on the ground.

Bai Yanxiao put away his sword: "Cui'er, who are you, why do you want to harm me?" ”

Cui'er hung her head: "Actually, it's not poison, it's some gunpowder, I see my sister working hard day after day, and giving it to my sister will help calm my nerves, my sister can come over if you don't believe it, show you, I have it in my sleeve now." ”

Mu Wanzi said: "The matter has come to this, you are still quibbling!" Don't think that I won't do anything to you at your young age! ”

Bai Yanxiao was silent for a while, stepped forward, Cui'er's right hand reached into her sleeve and touched it for a long time, until a gust of wind blew, Cui'er's eyes suddenly turned cold, and she raised the medicine powder in her hand at Bai Yanxiao and Mu Wanci!

The powder blew into the eyes and noses of the two of them along the wind! His throat seemed to be burned, and he coughed violently, and his eyes couldn't see anything clearly! Mu Wanci couldn't stop coughing.

At this moment, Cui'er was quick, took out a short knife from her sleeve, and stabbed Bai Yan with a smile!

"Whew-" with a splash of blood!

Cui'er stared at the dagger piercing her chest with wide eyes and surprise, and the short knife in her hand was still a fraction of a moment away from Bai Yanxiao.

Mu Wanci smiled coldly: "I'm just pretending to be a trick, just like yours, you are also worthy of carving insect skills?" Say who told you to come?! ”

Cui'er had tears in her eyes: "No one commands, if you want to kill, kill it." ”

Wei Qingcheng pushed the wheelchair out, knew everything at a glance, and frowned slightly: "Words, I'm afraid it's not that simple." ”

As she was talking, there were many heavy footsteps in the distance, and with a faint glance, Mu Wanci saw the old woman coming with a group of officers and soldiers, and cried loudly when she saw this scene: "My lord! They killed my granddaughter! Hurry! Kill them! ”

Bai Yanxiao coughed for a long time before he could see, and looked at Cui'er sadly: "Why, why did even you betray me?" ”

Cui'er sneered: "Because you deserve to die, you can't escape." ”

Mu Wanyu was angry, pulled out the dagger and stabbed it into Cui'er's chest again! Cui'er fell silently.

Bai Yanxiao shouted desperately: "No! ”

Mu Wanci pulled up and smiled: "Hurry up!" ”

The mother-in-law shouted hysterically: "Quick! Kill them! ”

The officers and soldiers swarmed up, and Wei Qingcheng's subordinates descended from the sky to protect a few people: "Master, run!" ”
