Chapter 441: Going Home
More than 30 people sat around the dilapidated courtyard, and in order not to attract attention, they did not even light a fire.
Silently eating the dry food prepared during the day.
The moonlight shone on the earth, and it was very cold.
Peng Mo looked at the three wooden strips in his hand in the moonlight, and the wrinkles between his eyebrows deepened.
What did the sticks represent? Was it a sign to guide the way? Or did she think too much about it, and the three sticks were just discarded at random, and she happened to pick them up?
Qi Mu walked over and said in a low voice, "Master, the blue bird is here." ”
Peng Mo frowned and wondered, "Why is he here?"
"I said I was here to deliver medicine. As soon as the words fell, I saw a person coming out of the secret passage, wearing a green shirt, not a blue bird.
"Princess. The blue bird stepped forward and bowed: "I heard that the princess is running around today, and her subordinates specially made the medicine into pills, please take it." As he spoke, he handed the medicine bottle to Peng Mo.
Peng Mo shook his head and smiled bitterly, he was really dutiful, took the medicine bottle, poured out the pill, and threw it into his mouth.
Seeing that Peng Mo took the medicine, the blue bird bowed his hand to the end, and said respectfully: "The princess atons for her sins." ”
Knowing that he was talking about Liu Ying and him taking a tranquilizer in her medicine, he smiled and said lightly: "You are also thinking about me! It's just that there must be no next time, otherwise, I will not redeem lightly!" In the end, it was full of coldness.
She trusts them, so she never questions what they give, but if they don't give them a sedative, will she still live?
The subordinates of the bully, she didn't dare to stay!
The bluebird breathed a sigh of relief and said yes with its jaw.
"This is the antidote to the poisoning of His Highness. When the third master left Beijing, his subordinates gave one, and this one was given to the princess. He deliberately made several copies, and he gave one for each team that went out to find His Highness, so that he could treat His Highness as soon as possible.
Peng Mo took it, the porcelain white bottle showed a warm glow in the moonlight, looked at her and asked softly, "It's been seven days... Is it all right?"
The blue bird understood the meaning of Peng Mo's words, and frowned: "The poison in His Royal Highness is different from that of the princess. His Highness's poison is mainly tortured, and it will not die immediately, and although the antidote is not easy to make, it is not impossible to make. ”
Following Fang Duo, he knew a lot of poisons and Gu that he had never seen before, and the poison in Jin Xiuchen's place was a kind of Gu poison, so he knew how to make an antidote.
Torture! Peng Mo was very piercing when he heard these two words! He took a deep breath and put away the medicine bottle in his hand.
Xiao Douzi came to Peng Mo with mung bean cake and persuaded in a low voice: "Master, eat some, beware of dragging your body down." "This is just the beginning of a serious illness, if the hard work is good, how can it be good.
Peng Mo shook her head, she had no appetite.
Feeling out the wooden strip again, she asked suspiciously, "What do you say, what does the wooden strip represent?"
Xiao Douzi looked at the thing in her hand, frowned, and said, "Wooden strips, it's wood!" She couldn't see what else this wooden strip had besides being wood in essence.
Wood? Peng Mo's eyebrows slowed, and he muttered, "Wood... Wood.... As she spoke, her eyes lit up instantly, and she got up and whispered, "I know!"
Xiaodouzi blinked and wondered, "What does the master know?"
Peng Mo was full of energy, swept away the accumulated depression, and said with a smile: "I know Jin Xiuchen's whereabouts!"
When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up with hope.
Under their gaze, Peng Mo asked Qi Mu: "I remember that Jin Xiuchen has a lumber mill under his name, called Dongcheng Timber Factory?"
Qi Mu's eyes lit up, and he nodded busily: "Yes, it's on the edge of Nancheng, and it's been abandoned for many years." ”
That's right! A prince's lumber mill, even if it is abandoned, ordinary people do not dare to move the crooked mind of occupying the magpie's nest.
The lumber mill is big enough, remote enough, and hides people's eyes and ears enough!
"Leave in batches, gather outside the lumber mill, and remember to be careful. Looking at the crowd, she whispered.
Everyone nodded, packed up their equipment, and left the broken yard in turn.
Carefully evading the guards patrolling the city, it took them two hours to reach the lumber mill.
The lumber mill is located against a forest and has few residents nearby, so it is extremely quiet.
More than 30 people hid themselves in the branches of the trees by the lush leaves, and the sky was slightly bright, and they could see things in the distance vaguely.
The doors were closed, and there was no smell of human traffic.
The field is overgrown with weeds, there is a lot of waste wood, and there are all over the place, and they can only see the general situation in the field, and they are not sure where to hide people.
After observing for half an hour, there was still no light or human voice, and it was not easy to say that more than 100 people could do this.
Xiaodouzi was a little suspicious that she had found the wrong place, and looked at Peng Mo beside her, her already pale face was even more haggard at this time, running around like this for a day and a night, and the people who practiced martial arts all felt tired, not to mention that the master was still sick and had not eaten water and rice all day, and swallowed back the words in his mouth.
Qi Mu was a little anxious, and proposed, "Master, can you go down and take a look?"
As soon as the words fell, Peng Mo raised his hand to signal them to silence.
I saw a man with a long sword walking out from behind a dozen thick tree trunks, yawning and walking towards another pile of wood.
After a while, a man rubbed his face and walked into the sheds on both sides.
Little Beanzi whispered: "It's them, I recognize the clothes." ”
Qi Mu snorted coldly, clenched the sword in his hand and said, "Find the right place! ”
Liuying looked at Peng Mo: "Master, what now?"
Peng Mo looked up at the sky, there was still some time before dawn, if he went back to the city to call someone, it would take an hour to go back and forth at the earliest.
He looked sideways at Xiaodouzi and asked, "Do you know what to say when you go back?"
"Yes. Little Beanzi smiled smartly, nodded and jumped off the tree, and ran away lightly.
Looking at it with deep eyes, Peng Mo waved his hand: "Go and explore the two of you." ”
Qi Mu looked at a man who was relatively small compared to them. The man bowed his jaw, stepped on the trunk of a tree, and landed near the lumber mill in a few leaps.
After a moment, the short man turned back and said, "Master, there are seven secret posts in the field, and there are also people in the sheds on both sides, and His Highness should be in the storage room at the rear." ”
looked at the dilapidated storage room full of holes, and his eyes were cold and quenched: "Let's move." ”
With her order, Qi Mu jumped down with twenty people, scattered and neatly solved the seven secret posts, and walked to the work shed.
Liuying watched Qi Mu open the door of the lumber mill and said in a low voice, "Master, let's go in." ”
Peng Mo nodded. Walking to the outside of the storage room, through the gap in the wooden door, I saw the people inside, and my eyes turned red instantly.
It is not an exaggeration for Jin Xiuchen to say that he was covered in blood, his clothes have long been unable to see the original color, his exposed skin is full of bright red, lying lifeless in the sawdust, and beside him are two guards with knives and napping.
The blue bird also saw Jin Xiuchen's situation, his brows furrowed, he had already fallen into the Gu, and then looked at the current situation, King Gong was planning to torture His Highness to death!
"Master, don't be impatient. After Qi Mu finished speaking, he turned over and jumped onto the roof, and threw out two hidden weapons from the loophole in the roof, instantly eliminating the guards guarding Jin Xiuchen's side.
At the same time, the secret guard pushed the door and poured into the room, protecting Jin Xiuchen for the first time.
"Jin Xiuchen. She cried cautiously.
The blue bird pressed Jin Xiuchen's pulse, frowned, and said, "Princess, quickly, the antidote." ”
Peng Mo took out the medicine bottle, poured out the pills inside, carefully broke them, and stuffed them into Jin Xiuchen's mouth.
Fortunately, I can still swallow.
"Lord Huining, long time no see!" a sneer.
Peng Mo turned around when he heard the sound and looked at the people standing in the storage room.
In addition to the two guards who were killed by the hidden weapon, there were nearly twenty guards with knives in this storage room, but the incident happened suddenly, and they were woken up and came back to their senses.
Like a secret guard protecting Jin Xiuchen, these guards with knives also protected King Gong, and behind the crowd, he smiled fearlessly.
Peng Mo stood up and greeted with a bloodthirsty smile: "It's been a long time since I saw him, how is the prince doing lately?"
King Gong nodded knowingly: "Yes, the days of escaping for your life are not as difficult as you imagined." As he spoke, he pointed to the unconscious Jin Xiuchen on the pile of sawdust, and said with a pleasant smile: "But he is not very good? I don't know if he can survive tonight." ”
Peng Mo sneered: "I don't know if he is alive or not, but you, Lord Wang, you must die today." ”
King Gong smiled slightly, and sneered: "What a big breath, just rely on these few people?"
Peng Mo didn't answer, but looked at Qi Mu and the others with a smile, Sakura lips hooked a playful and cold smile, and said, "Since King Gong doesn't believe in your ability, then show your hands." ”
When King Gong heard this, he grinded his teeth fiercely and waved his big hand: "Kill!"
The people around them moved when they heard the order, and they attacked them with swords, guns, and halberds.
More than 30 people stood in three rows, not only blocking the exit, but also protecting Jin Xiuchen and Peng Mo Qingniao behind them.
Facing the murderous aura that was like a huge wave crashing, Qi Mu said coldly: "Don't lose the face of His Royal Highness and the princess, except for that, there will be no one left!" The sword in his hand pointed straight at King Gong.
The dark guards shouted in unison and rushed forward.
The blue bird had already taken the gold sore medicine to give Jin Xiuchen the medicine, the powder was poured on the wound, and it was quickly drowned by the gushing blood, gritted his teeth and sprinkled it more, and then tore off the hem of his clothes and bandaged it simply.
"How is it?" Peng Mo asked, kneeling beside Jin Xiuchen, looking straight at the blue bird with his eyes.
"Not good!" Blue Bird shook his head and said, "I was already poisoned, and I was punished again, and I lost too much blood..." ”
Peng Mo hurriedly interrupted the blue bird's words: "Simply say!"
"It depends on the will of His Highness. "After being tortured for so many days, everyone will lose the will to live.
Peng Mo breathed a sigh of relief slightly, he would have a will!
She's here, he'll be willing to live!
His clothes were all torn, and he was covered with wounds from the whip and sword, and blood kept flowing from the wounds, and she was a little afraid to touch him, so she could only hold his hand.
He whispered in his ear: "Jin Xiuchen, wake up, let's go home." ”
