Chapter 40 The Fallen Phoenix
In the Red Refining City thousands of miles away, in the desolate and gloomy Qin Garden, Murong Qing, who was reduced to a prisoner, lived like a year. was degraded and exiled, although she had a life, she lost her former dignity and glory, and she washed and cooked for the guards who guarded the gold mine every day, she was worse than dead.
She hated this Yunquan Kingdom and hated Murong Di very much, and even hated Yu Yao to death. She hated to pull her tendons, peel her skin, and drink her blood. If it weren't for her appearance, how could her father have died in Huangquan, and how could she have ended up alone.
And Murong Qing, who was full of resentment, never thought that most of King Jing's death was due to his own ambitions, and she was to blame for her own fate.
After the emperor sent her to Chilian City, Murong Chen remembered that her relatives couldn't bear her suffering, and wrote many times at the risk of death, begging the emperor to give Murong Qing to him as a domestic slave, but to no avail several times, and then with Li Meng's acquiescence to help the emperor, Murong Chen took her over, and the family took good care of her. But Murong Qing was too obsessed, and he hated Yuyao, so he vented his resentment on Yike.
Yike Aiwu and Wu are tolerant in every way, Murong Qing is intensifying, instigating Princess Jing Li, saying that Yike replaced "Yuyao" to save Murong Chen, but she knew that the emperor's conspiracy helped to abuse, and she could not escape the blame for King Jing's death.
The meaning of the heavenly family, how can she be controlled by a weak woman in the struggle for imperial power, if it weren't for her affection, Su Luo would be righteous, and Murong Chenyan would be safe.
And the Li family, who was already not very satisfied with Yike, thought carefully under the grief and indignation, so he moved the family law against Yike, so that Yike, who was pregnant with Liujia, almost died in a stillborn belly. Afterwards, Li regretted it and became ill.
Suffering from this great pain, Murong Chen sent Murong Qing back after learning from the pain. Even if Murong Qing is like this, he still takes care of her, and the leader of the guards gives her an easy job, thinking that he will take her back after she suffers some hardships and her heart is restrained.
is in prison, but when he encounters such family affection, but it is so bad, Murong Qing is not a person who cherishes happiness in the end.
After midnight, Murong Qing, who pretended to be asleep, opened his eyes, looked at the women who had fallen asleep one by one, slowly climbed down from the bed, crept out of the room, avoided the guards of the courtyard, entered the firewood room on the side, and dug out some broken silver and a dagger about seven inches long from under the firewood.
The broken silver was given by Murong Chen when he sent her back two months ago, and the dagger stole it. Yunquan Country has no place for her, she wants to escape, flee to the neighboring country, she has planned everything, there are two ways to go to the neighboring country, one is to walk through the desert, and the other is to cross the Red Flame Mountain not far from Qin Yuan.
Murong Qing put away the dagger and Jinsha, dodged the thorny back garden, climbed the big tree leaning against the wall and went up to the wall, tied the rope hidden on the branches during the day to the tree pole, and went down the wall, skillfully avoiding several checkpoints on the road, and arrived at Chiyan Mountain half an hour later.
Everything went very well, thanks to her all-round father, who learned a little from him.
The Chiyan Mountain, which is steep and steep in the clouds, has a very peculiar landform, the mountain range that belongs to the boundary of the Yunquan country, the strange rocks are craggy and the bare grass does not grow, and the back of the mountain belongs to the ridge of the neighboring country, and the trees are verdant and luxuriant.
Those stationed here often see strange celestial phenomena, lightning and thunder on this side, but rain is pouring down on neighboring countries. The wind and the sun are beautiful in the neighboring country, and the wind is howling and dark as the night.
The cliff of Chilian Mountain is dangerous, and the heat is hot during the day, but the night is extremely cold. And in the middle of the night, there were sobs, wails, terrible screams, all kinds of strange sounds, and extremely terrifying sounds in the mountains from time to time. Therefore, this mountain road to neighboring countries is not walked by anyone at night.
The soldiers stationed here are basically in the camp tent at night, and they will not come out to patrol. It is precisely because of this that Murong Qing chose this path.
Murong Qing was very familiar with this place, when she was first demoted, she worked as a coolie in the gold mine in the mountains, and the soldiers guarding the gate here and the guards guarding the gold mine were actually from the same army.
The night was heavy, the moon was dark, and a blood-colored mist rose from the mountains. The hatred for Yu Yao supported Murong Qing to have the courage to grope towards the mountain. Sure enough, as she expected, under the cliff, a narrow mountain road, the sentry post was empty, the torches planted in it flickered on and off, the snoring in the camp tent next to it was like thunder, and the brazier outside the tent "crackled" from time to time sparks splashed out.
Just pass through the sentry in front of her and follow the road over the mountain, and she will be free. Murong Qing took a deep breath and passed in front of the tent lightly and very quickly. Just as she was about to pass the sentry, a sudden wind blew around, and a burst of baby cries suddenly broke out around her, followed by a lightning flash, and the cliff wall above rumbled, and large and small stones smacked down on Murong Qing......
Murong Qing instinctively dodged, and the rocks rolled over, only to hear a scream of "ah", and her calves were dripping with blood when she fell to the ground. It looked like it had been crushed by the rolling stones.
Screams rang out for the people in the tent.
For a moment, the torches lit up all around, and the five people who rushed out of the tent stepped forward. Dressed in armor, all of them are strong.
"Head, I know, it's the one who was sent to the mine years ago. "It's a hooked nose that speaks.
Murong Qing's appearance is easy to remember.
"The county lord of the King Jing family?" the Wu Commander, who was called the head, glanced at Murong Qing, and a sinister smile appeared on his face, "Take her to the tent." Then he went into the tent.
"Good. Hooknose smiled evilly.
The one who followed behind looked at Murong Qing and asked the hooked nose, "Won't you send it back?" It looked like he was sixteen or seventeen years old.
"Send it back?hahaha...... You kid just follow behind your brothers!" said a few people who surrounded him.
Murong Qing, who had recovered from the panic and pain, knew that something was wrong, and got up with difficulty, wanting to escape to the mountain, but his injured leg hurt so much that he couldn't even stand up. Murong Qing gritted his teeth and dragged a few steps forward.
"Brother, send her back, you have to find a woman to go to Hualou tomorrow. I pay. ”
"It's a dead end for her to be sent back, so let's be happy and happy," he said, ...... stepped forward and dragged Murong Qing's arm into the tent, "Beauty, let's go with my brother." We're waiting in the tent for a while......"
"Hahaha......" The two on the side laughed.
Murong Qing endured the great pain, his arm pumped back hard, and shouted angrily: "Let go." ”
"Hey, it's still a fierce horse, I like it. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to touch Murong Qing.
"Brother, brother, this is not good. The young man stepped forward and stopped, "How can you say that she is also a nobleman, in case someone knows about it......"
"Phew, the feathered phoenix is not as good as a chicken, and it was discovered, and a fart was found, and it was smacked to death. As he spoke, he pushed the young man who was blocking him fiercely, "If you don't want to, don't do it, don't sweep Lao Tzu's fun, get out." After speaking, he bent down and wanted to carry Murong Qing up.
At the same time, Murong Qing's hand rose and fell, and with a scream of "ah" from the hooked nose, Murong Qing was lifted out a few steps away, and the injury was not light.
The back of the hooked nose's neck was bleeding, and if it weren't for the neck guard on the helmet to block it, this knife would have died a long time ago. Seeing the situation, the guards next to him hurriedly snatched the blood-dripping dagger in Mu Yiqing's hand, and punched and kicked him when he said "looking for death". It wasn't until Murong Qing was half dead and lying on the ground that he couldn't move.
Hearing the sound, the chief of the tent walked out, shirtless, with wide trousers and boots.
"Phew, I wanted to keep you for a few more days, damn, I'm going to kill you. The hooked nose covered the back of his neck with one hand, and viciously slammed Murong Qing who fell to the ground. He took the dagger from the hand of the man next to him, crouched down, and looked fierce.
The boy's drooping fists rattled as he looked to strike.
Wu Chang glanced at the big man behind the young man, and the big man slammed the back of the young man's neck, and the young man fell to the ground and fainted.
The hook nose sneered, the tip of the knife slashed from the middle of Murong Qing's two collarbones, the clothes immediately broke apart, and the snow white on his chest was unobstructed. The hooked nose showed a lewd and evil gaze, and the tip of the knife pressed against the mutton-fat skin from the bottom up......
Wu Chang, who was standing on the side, looked at it coldly.
Murong Qing is better than dead, she swears that even if she dies, she will turn into a powerful ghost and eat these beasts alive. The heart is ruthless and wants to bite his tongue and kill himself.
"I want to die. The hook snorted and stabbed the dagger in Murong Qing's chest, "It's not that easy." "There are several knives and skillful techniques.
Murong Qing's mouth opened, and the terrible screams resounded through the valley, the bean-sized beads of sweat on his pale face, and the scarlet blood seeped out, falling down the convex depression, mixed with indescribable horror......
The blood-colored mist rising from the mountains grew thicker and thicker, as if it was about to swallow it all.
"Hmph, I asked for it. The hooked nose added blood from the dagger and got up, "I won't die for a while, head, you come first." ”
"It's more exciting to die. Wu Chang looked at the sharp knife in the hooked nose's hand, smiled evilly, untied his belt, and pounced on Murong Qing like a hungry tiger......
The demonic qi that escaped from Yunquan crept in with the blood in the air, covering it, and the blood on Murong Qing's body was sucked up little by little and disappeared.
The wound scabbed over in a blink of an eye, the demonic qi was attached, and with a ghostly laugh, the "pounced" Wu Chang screamed, rolled down from Murong Qing's body, huddled on the ground and wailed, and the "object" that was still attacking the city and plundering the land just now fell to the ground, and there was a piece of dirty blood under his lower body.
The dagger on the hooked nose's hand returned to Murong Qing's hand with a "boom", the torn dress, the miserable white face with an eerie and evil smile, and the bloodshot eyes permeated with the breath of hunting.
