Chapter 55: Upheaval

The conversation between the man and his henchman under the moonlight was unknown to Ying Baoyue and Mu Shi, and in the silent courtyard home, only the breathing of the two women could be heard.

"Do you choose another path...... "Mu Shi looked at the girl's slender back with complicated eyes, "I don't have the power to choose now." ”

At least not until her children were grown.

Sure enough, Ying Baoyue restrained the desire to turn back, and everything was exactly the same as she thought.

This woman lived in seclusion with her children for the sake of dignity in her heart and the fate of her children.

As the noble daughter of the Mu family, although the status of the Mu family has declined, even if she is abandoned by Guichang, she can find a good family for her to remarry with the Mu family's heritage.

But there is a problem with this, that is, the return and return can only stay at home forever.

According to the Qin law compiled by Lin Shubai, the great priest, there are two ways for a married woman to part ways with her husband.

Compared with the previous dynasty law that only the husband could divorce his wife, the great priest ordered Lin Shubai to spend ten years adding a clause, that is, a woman who does not want to live with her husband can ask to leave the court, and the husband must agree.

However, there is one thing that the master wants to change but was opposed by the hundred officials, that is, the children of the abandoned woman can only return to their own family.

For a man, the child is his own, and there is no door for the abandoned woman to take the child away.

Another way is to reconcile.

Divorce generally requires the consent of both husband and wife or the royal family, and children can choose whether to follow their father or mother.

But for the woman, the conditions reached by the reconciliation are too harsh, and the Mu family no longer has the power to put pressure on Guichang, and it is impossible for the royal family to speak.

As long as Guichang does not agree, Mu cannot reconcile. And Guichang will never be able to reconcile with Muhammad.

Chu Ji's identity cannot be corrected, and it is impossible for the Gui clan to let go of the two descendants of Guichen and Guili.

After all, as long as they are reconciled, they don't even have to guess who Guichen and Guili will choose to go with.

"What else can I do?" Muhammad spoke bitterly, to the woman and to himself.

Even with her back to her, Ying Baoyue could feel the despair of that woman.

"But there must be a way, ma'am." Ying Baoyue said softly, "You haven't tried anything else, have you?" ”

Mu was stunned.

"Enduring hardships in the countryside does sharpen a child's mind, but as they grow up, the danger will only increase."

"Guichen encountered a trap on the mountain before," Ying Baoyue said with his back to her, "the kind that wants to kill people." ”

Mu was shocked.

In the moonlight, the girl turned to look into the young woman's eyes.

"Escaping won't solve the problem," Ying Baoyue said softly, "You have to make a decision early." ”

Mu Rongyin's eyes widened more and more, as if he knew this girl for the first time and as if he had known her a long time ago.

Mu Shi pinched the knuckles of his shawl and clenched it, "Thank you for telling me this." ”

Ying hugged Yue and smiled, "I'm leaving." ”

The next moment, the girl pushed open the courtyard door, and this time she did not look back.

She left without looking back.

But looking at her back, Muhammad's mood could not be calmed for a long time.

She stood under the porch for a moment, and was about to turn back to the room where Guichen and Guili were still asleep.

However, the next moment, Mu suddenly raised his head and looked outside the courtyard gate under the blood moon!

Two winds sounded outside the courtyard, accompanied by her strange and familiar breath, and Muhammad's pupils shrank.

Murderous!

Mu Shi instantly retreated into the house silently, only to feel the two murderous auras passing through the courtyard gate extremely quickly, as if chasing something to leave. She breathed a sigh of relief, but the next moment she realized something, and her heart jumped.

"I'm afraid something will happen tonight, ma'am, and remember to close the courtyard door."

The girl's voice echoed in her ears, and Muhammad clenched the clothes on her chest suddenly.

Someone was targeting the courtyard, but the woman......

Led them away?

……

……

"Is there really a business to be made in this kind of small village?"

Under the blood-colored moonlight, a man's rough voice was heard.

"The boss heard rumors from the immortal officials in the capital, saying that someone calculated that there were treasures hidden in this village." A man beside him who couldn't hide his fierce face with a black cloth mask said.

"But what the hell is that baby?"

"Now the immortal officials in the capital are useless, they can't figure out anything, the boss has been doing this for a long time, and he said that he just needs to arrest people who behave suspiciously!"

"No matter how bad it is, I heard that the wife and children of the Zhongyi Marquis who just sealed are hiding in this village, and they can be exchanged for money if they are caught and enjoyed!"

The two men were talking excitedly, and were about to rush towards the small courtyard under the moonlight in the distance, when they heard a squeak, and the courtyard door actually opened.

A hooded dark figure suddenly appeared before them.

"Second brother, that's ......"

Ying Baoyue looked at the two black-clothed people in the distance, her eyes were deep, and the next moment she pursed her lips and lifted the curtain slightly.

The moonlight hit the girl's smooth chin, and the hearts of the men who could see in the distance were on fire, like seeing a white sheep and seeing silver with white flowers.

A girl who appeared alone in the middle of the night.

Suspicious and dangerous to normal people, but to them as a pedestrian it smells of blood and flesh.

"The third child, up! Grab it and try it! ”

The man's eyes showed an irrepressible look of covetousness, and as soon as he roared, he saw the girl running away as if frightened.

Since it's the prey, it's enough to run and chase it.

The mercenary who had been on the road for many years had a glint of excitement in his eyes, and the two of them roared in unison.

"Chase!"

……

……

There was a whistling wind in his ears, and he ran with all his strength in the blood-colored moonlight.

Although she didn't expect that a pursuer would find this place, she felt the fierce but irritable aura behind her, and her heart beat slightly.

These two were not high-level cultivators, they were full of murderous aura but their breath was uneven, not as secretive as killers, but with the smell of murderous blood.

In Ying Baoyue's memory, there is only one kind of person who will have such a taste.

That's the mercenary who kills for money.

Most of the mercenaries in the former Qin were bandits who had lost their mountain tops and retired soldiers who couldn't survive, and they were relatively low-level except for the top few in the killer industry.

It seems that even if there is an immortal official behind her, it is just a chance of luck, although such a person is difficult for her to kill now, but at least she can lead away.

"How can this little run up the hill! Like a rabbit! ”

There was a man's angry scolding from behind, Ying Baoyue gritted her teeth and endured the pain of torn muscles, and rushed up the route that she had taken these days.

This is exactly the route she takes up the mountain every day and on her return.

"Chase! Otherwise, this won't be able to catch her if she runs into the woods! ”

The mountain road under his feet was rugged, sweat ran down Ying Baoyue's cheeks, and the foul language of the man behind him finally became smaller and smaller.

By the time she scurried out of a bush and into the depths of the dense forest she knew, the voices of the two men had completely disappeared.

It's here.

Ying Baoyue stood under the boulder that had been whipped by the hemp rope and gasped for breath.

This is where she and Guichen jump rope every day.

However, Guichen didn't know.

This is where she walked out.

The blood-colored moonlight flowed down like water, and Ying Baoyue stood under the boulder, looking at the swarthy hole, her heart beating like a drum.

Really, there were.

And at the same moment, the light in the sky began to disappear, and the world began to be shrouded in true darkness.

Ying Baoyue raised her head and looked at the red moon that was gradually disappearing in the sky.

The lunar eclipse has begun.

The whole world became weird and weird, and Ying Baoyue looked at the hole and took a deep breath.

However, just as she walked towards the hole, a crack suddenly exploded!

There was a loud bang, and the earth seemed to shake.

Yinghuyue's pupils shrank, earthquake!

On the night of the blood moon and lunar eclipse, the former Qin forbidden land Li Mountain actually moved at the same time!

Countless sleeping birds flew into the sky, the heavens and the earth roared and the moon shook under the huge shock, and a strong force struck, and the boulder in front of her actually split into two in an instant.

No, it was not only the stone that split in two, but also the ground beneath her feet, and Ying Baoyue watched as a huge crack actually extended from what seemed to be from the hole and cracked at her feet!

Ying Baoyue's footsteps quickly retreated, but the speed at which the earth cracked was too fast, and the ground collapsed countless giant trees exposed their roots, and in an instant, the ground cracked to her feet, and she was already almost to the cliff!

She stared at the hole in the distance, and the next moment a huge crack and an endless abyss unfolded at Ying Baoyue's feet, and just as she was about to fall into the crack, Ying Baoyue was suddenly stunned.

Her heels, as if she had kicked something.

At the moment of the fall, she saw something that she hadn't noticed because of the night.

Actually, a coffin.

Not far from the entrance of the cave, there was a black coffin.

This is......

But when she realized that it was too late, the earth shook and the mountains shook and Yingyue finally couldn't control her body and fell.

However.

Just at the moment when she was about to fall.

The black coffin, the last thing in her field of vision, suddenly opened.

A hand reached out from it and grabbed her inside.

……
