309. 309 Two dark shadows
He no longer paid attention to the housekeeper, and still walked straight to the house, the housekeeper didn't know why, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he was busy following behind, but he scolded and drove away.
Nangong Jue's eyes showed a fierce light, walking in the prime minister's mansion like a gust of wind, and everyone who met on the road was frightened by him and retreated, no one had ever seen such a ruthless Nangong Jue, although his name was "Jue".
After passing through the Prime Minister's Mansion, he came to the most secluded place in the mansion - Ruyan Fang, where he lived, no, it should be said that he was sleepy, and his mother, who was also his father's favorite woman, Mu Ruyan.
Walking to the door of Ruyanfang, his footsteps stopped, and the original ruthless spirit also retreated unconsciously.
Standing under the moon gate, a winding path built on the lake leads straight to the smoke shop, across the lake, the smoke shop is as quiet as a painting, and it is like a girl waiting for her lover to return, silent, but full of affection.
This was his mother's abode, and for twenty years, she had never left this moon gate, and that was her whole world.
This is the most secluded corner of the entire Prime Minister's Mansion, the scenery is picturesque all year round, and there is nothing more beautiful than this, and perhaps this is how the father showed his love for his mother, even though she did not love him.
It is quiet all year round, no one dares to disturb, and no one dares to forget, the women outside are envious, jealous, or full of hatred, but they never dare to do anything, if they do, it is self-defeating.
Every day, the mother would dress up the pillow beautifully, whisper to it, and then sit in front of the window with her arms, her eyes always full of affection, always looking out of the window, as if one day, she and her children would always wait for the person in her heart, and then return with him.
She never looked at him or her father like that, even if she gave birth to him, she never gave him a little love, even if her father loved her like that, she would never turn a blind eye.
He didn't know if she was really crazy or fake, or if she was just numbing herself with an act so that she wouldn't be in so much pain.
Occasionally, he would sneak under the moon gate, and look at her from afar in front of the window, she was beautiful, so beautiful that it was unreal, like her name, like smoke, which could be seen, but could not be touched, as if she could go away with the wind at any time, leaving no trace.
He hated her, hated why she couldn't love her son like other mothers, and sometimes, he wished he could be the pillow in her arms, carried, loved, caressed by her, even once, it would give him great comfort, but unfortunately, he never had that luck.
He clenched his fists suddenly, since he was a child, she has never given him a little love, a little bit of motherhood, and now, it is time for her to do her duty.
His eyes were bloodshot, reality pulled him back from his depressed thoughts, he looked at the window, and his heart suddenly tightened, today, she didn't sit there?
Without thinking too much, he stepped through the moon gate and entered the Ruyan Fang, where he could do whatever he wanted while his father was away.
The closer he got to the water pavilion, the more unstable his heart became, as lonely as the tobacco shop, so quiet that it made people panic.
Walking through the winding path and entering the water pavilion built on the lake, a maid slowly greeted him, and the people here were so quiet, just like his mother.
"Greetings to the General."
The maid said softly.
Nangong Jue originally wanted to leave with someone, but the silence here made him unbearable to do so, his voice was very low, and his pure timbre revealed a hint of hoarseness.
"What about Madame? Napping? ”
If you don't sit by the window, you should take a nap in your room.
The maid always lowered her head and said:
"Back to the general's words, Madame is not here."
"Absent?"
His brows were tightly wrinkled together, and in addition to being stunned, it was an ominous premonition, Mu Ruyan would never leave here for half a step, and he was not there at this time?
"What do you mean?"
Did he not understand what the maid meant? For the first time in twenty years, these two words were heard from the maid's mouth.
"Last night, the prime minister came and took his wife away."
The maid was not shocked.
"Taken away? Where did you take it? ”
Nangong Jue couldn't hold back the mania in his heart any longer, grabbed the maid's shoulder, and asked loudly.
The maid was startled, looked at him with wide eyes, and finally changed her quiet posture, and replied tremblingly:
"Slaves, slaves don't know."
He pushed the maid away angrily, and rushed into the smoke shop without giving up, rummaging through the whole room, but there was really no shadow of his mother.
In Mu Ruyan's room, he saw one after another pillows that she was delicately dressed, they were wrapped in swaddling clothes, and some were "wearing" the small clothes she made herself.
Coming to his senses, he began to think about his father's behavior, why did he secretly take away Xiao Zhengzi, and even took Mu Ruyan away, where did he take them, what did he want to do?
Leaving Ruyanfang, he wanted to gather the dead soldiers of the Prime Minister's Mansion, only to find that the dead soldiers of the Prime Minister's Mansion were all gone, and these dead soldiers were unknown to no one except him and his father, and they could not be mobilized, obviously, it was his father who used them.
What is my father doing behind his back, hiding it from him?
Tuoba Jiuxiao took Lin Ling'er to leave the village and went straight to the direction of the Lingshui River, along the way, there are many officers and soldiers on the road, paths, and mountain roads to set up cards to intercept, they have been shuttling through the dense forests on the mountain, successfully avoiding these eyes and ears, it is estimated that Nangong Jue will send most of the troops to the other three directions, and the defense on the way to Lingshui will naturally be weakened, this is their opportunity.
But no matter how negligent the officer is, there are also shrewd soldiers under his hands, and no matter how lax the defense, there are more than a dozen pairs of eyes staring, and an officer and soldier who set up a card on the mountain road have just checked a father and daughter passing by, and said to the people around him:
"You keep an eye on it first, I'll go and make it easier."
After the man finished speaking, he walked up the mountain, and as soon as he took off his pants, he saw two black figures flashing in the dense forest in the distance, and they were running quickly towards the north.
He had only urinated half of it, and now he was so frightened that he held back the remaining half, and his mouth stopped obeying, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
In the end, I could only run back to the checkpoint with my pants on, point to the mountain and say to the others:
"I, I, I see!"
"What do you see?"
The other officers and soldiers patted his stiff face and teased.
"Black, black! Two, two! ”
Although it was a few short words, it immediately alerted the others.
"Two dark shadows? Where? ”
The man came to his senses, swallowed his saliva, and cried out:
"Just now I went to the convenience and saw two black shadows running over on the mountain, one tall and one short, running north!"
"Chase!"
As soon as the others heard this, they immediately took their weapons and ran in the direction where the two had disappeared, and the man quickly fastened his pants and followed.
If it comes to running, Lin Ling'er is a woman and pregnant, she must not be the opponent of several men, this group of people chased on the mountain road, Tuoba Jiuxiao and Lin Ling'er ran in the dense forest, and soon went hand in hand.
Lin Ling'er looked down and saw that the people on the mountain road were about thirty or forty meters away from them, and they were chasing up.
"What to do, they're about to catch up."
She said breathlessly.
Of course Tuoba Jiuxiao knew, he just glanced at it just now, and he knew that there were a few of them, and all of these people chased after him, and no one went back to report the news, it seems that they thought that there was still a checkpoint in front, and then they only needed to meet with the people in front, and there was no need to move rescuers.
He laughed secretly in his heart, clenched Lin Ling'er's hand, but slowed down, as if he deliberately let them catch up.
"Why didn't you run away?"
She looked at him and asked, puzzled.
His steps actually stopped:
"I'm tired of running, take a break."
With that, he pulled her under a tree, and with a force of his hands, he lifted her to sit on the branch of the trunk.
She let out a scream and looked down at him with wide eyes, this was the first time she had been taller than him.
"Rest here? The officers and soldiers are running behind you! ”
The corners of his lips hooked, and he smiled comfortingly:
"Got it."
"So calm?"
Does he want to pull like this? Relying on their own kung fu, they can ignore several times more people than them?
As he spoke, the group of officers and soldiers was only ten steps away from him.
"Come on, come on, look at it......"
Lin Ling'er screamed, so anxious that she was about to jump off the tree.
At this time, I saw Tuoba Jiuxiao's eyes lit up, and he suddenly turned around.
At first, the group of officers and soldiers were eager to try, after all, there was an order from above, no matter who caught him alive, he could be promoted to the third rank, rewarded with 10,000 taels of gold, and thousands of acres of fertile land.
However, when they faced Tuoba Jiuxiao at close range, they all froze there one by one, although the man in front of him was on the run, his awe-inspiring aura did not decrease at all, his eyes only moved slightly, and the fierce light that burst out was terrifying.
The hands of more than a dozen officers and soldiers holding long knives trembled unconsciously, and it was clear that they surrounded him in a semicircle, but no one dared to act rashly.
"Mu, Mu Jiuxiao, you have been surrounded, not only here, but the whole Daegu is looking for you, there are officers and soldiers who are arresting you everywhere, if you obediently tie your hands and arrest you, you can avoid the pain of flesh and skin."
"Yes, yes, surrender, you have no way to escape."
The two officers and soldiers persuaded me to surrender word by word, in the face of such a murderous prince, it was false to say that he was not afraid, he repelled countless officers and soldiers in the palace, and almost cut off one of Nangong Jue's arms, these battle deeds made people shudder after hearing them.
Wanting to take the lives of these people, in the eyes of Tuoba Jiuxiao, it was as simple as crushing a few ants, but he wouldn't do it.
The corners of his lips hooked, and a sneer brightened the blind eyes:
"What if this king does not descend?"
This is Chi Guoguo's provocation, and when several officers and soldiers heard this, their eyes suddenly turned red.
"If you don't come down, don't blame us for being rude!"
As soon as the words fell, several officers and soldiers exchanged glances at each other, and instantly rushed up, they wanted to be outnumbered and outnumbered, and they did not have three heads and six arms, so they could not take care of both.
