Chapter 212: The figure in the ruined temple
It's not just haggard enough to describe, Rong Yue's face is real and visible and suddenly matured, and it can even be said that she has seen a little old, this should never be her age now, Mu Yunyi and her have not seen her for three or two months, and Rong Yue seems to have grown by more than ten years.
"Ah Yue, she ......" Mu Yunyi looked at Meng Li in panic, hoping that not too bad a result would come out of his mouth.
Meng Li looked at Rong Yue with a solemn and serious expression: "Falling Flower Mound." β
"Falling Flower Mound?" Xiao Ye and Mu Yunyi blurted out and repeated these three words at the same time.
"This is a kind of Gu, the person who is given the Gu will age quickly, and their day is a year for ordinary people."
"No wonder, when I saw Rong Yue, she was getting older day by day, and at first she was just physically exhausted by the poison in her body." Xiao Ye looked at Rong Yue, and his heart ached and wondered, "Shizi, does this Gu just make your face age?" "If it's just an aging appearance, Xiao Ye won't care.
"It's not just her looks, everything in her life will age with it."
"What will be the end result?" Mu Yunyi seemed to have guessed something, but he didn't dare to say it, hoping that it was just that he was thinking too badly.
"Flowers bloom and fall, birth, old age, sickness and death, plus Rong Yue is seriously injured, I am afraid that at most she will live to her 'year of sixtieth', and she will ......" Meng Li sighed, and finally did not blurt out the word death.
Xiao Ye's eyes began to tremble, it has been more than ten days since Rong Yue was rescued from the old mansion, so hasn't it been ten years for Rong Yue? Pinching his fingers and counting, isn't the remaining days of Rong Yue less than a month?
Thinking of this, Xiao Ye couldn't think about anything at all, and stepped forward excitedly and asked, "Shizi, please save Rong Yue!" β
Mu Yunyi was also in a heavy mood, but she knew that Gu was different from poison, not all Gu could be unraveled, "Ah Li, can this Gu be dissolved?" β
"It's not that there is no solution, but I need to find the person who is going to do it, and I need a drop of blood from the Gu worm he is practicing in his hand to break this Gu."
"Originally, we were going to catch this person, Yun Duo's side should have already been dispatched, it seems that without further ado, we will do it ourselves outside the palace, what does General Xiao think?"
"Shi Quan planted this Gu before I went to save Rong Yue, and it was really for me, leaving a back hand for the future and forcing me to compromise."
Mu Yunyi understood, "Oh? It seems that where is Shi Quan hiding, General Xiao should know it? β
Xiao Ye nodded and said, "It's not difficult to find him right now, I'm afraid he's waiting for Weichen to come to the door." β
"That's very good, then you and I will leave immediately."
However, at this time, Mu Yunyi found that Xiao Ye wanted to stop talking, so he asked, "General, what's wrong?" β
"Princess, after you find the power, can you spare him a life first......
Mu Yunyi knew early on that the relationship between Xiao Ye and Shi Quan was by no means as simple as an ordinary seller seeking glory, and there should be deeper grievances between them, but Mu Yunyi didn't want to ask more, and he didn't want to intervene until he was forced to do so.
"In this way, the general will go alone to arrest Shi Quan, and the palace will take Ah Yue back to the palace to wait for the general, although this Zhuangzi is still hidden and safe, but in the end it is mostly men, how inconvenient, after returning to the palace, the palace will take care of Ah Yue."
"What does the princess mean by letting the minister go alone?" Xiao Ye's words were almost incredulous.
"Yes, as long as you get what Ah Li needs, it is up to the general to decide what to do with the power after that."
Xiao Ye didn't expect that instead of asking, Mu Yunyi directly promised himself to deal with the matter of exercising power, and he was surprised: "The princess believes in Weichen? β
"In terms of skill, the general is one of the best in the West Dome, not to mention that Shi Quan is the general's subordinate, with the general's understanding of him, how to deal with him is not a problem, why is this palace not at ease?"
Xiao Ye was sure that Mu Yunyi must know what he meant by "believing" in his words, not because he believed in his ability to seize power, but because he believed that he would not have any more conspiracies with power.
It's just that Mu Yunyi didn't say anything, so Xiao Ye didn't say much, and only said goodbye: "Princess Lao, then Weichen will leave." After saying that, he gestured to Meng Li again, and hurriedly left Zhuangzi.
Looking at Xiao Ye's back, Meng Li spoke: "Do you really believe him?" β
"I don't believe that he can be absolutely loyal to Yun Duo, but I bet on his sincerity to Rong Yue." Mu Yunyi turned her head and looked at the sleeping Rong Yue with pity, "If you win the bet, it can be regarded as Ah Yue's grievances and pain over the years have not been in vain." β
The time was approaching, and Xiao Ye found Shi Quan in a ruined temple in the west of the city, which was not too difficult, because from the beginning, he was sure in his heart that Shi Quan was hereβthis was the place where Xiao Ye found his cousin Xiao Quan after the death of his third uncle and aunt. Xiao Ye clearly remembered that at that time, Xiao Quan was shivering in the grass pile of the ruined temple, covered in mud and blood stains. Xiao Ye squatted down, wiped his face clean for him, wrapped him in his cloak, and then led him back to the barracks.
Since then, Xiao Quan has changed his name to Shi Quan, and after a few years of training in the army, Xiao Ye brought him back to his side and became the most powerful right and left hand.
When he saw Shi Quan again at this moment, he was no longer the poor and helpless little boy he had been, he was crouching beside a small fire, stirring the bonfire with wooden branches, but the figure seemed to be more lonely than before.
For Xiao Ye's arrival, Shi Quan was not surprised at all, "You are here." β
"You're waiting for me, and I'm coming, so hand over the things." At this moment, Rong Yue was unconscious, and Xiao Ye didn't want to say much to him.
Shi Quan stared at the crackling fire in front of him and sneered: "Heh, I know that only this woman can be my biggest bargaining chip." β
"Shi Quan, you've done too many wrong things, isn't that enough? Even if you hate me and the Xiao family, but Rongyue is innocent, why bother to implicate Wen Yan, Shi Quan seemed to have heard some big joke, threw away the wooden branch in his hand, stood up and stared at Xiao Ye with wide eyes: "Wrong?" General Xiao, you should tell me what is right and what is wrong? β
"Even now, you don't realize what you're doing wrong?"
"I'm hopeless? Saying so many high-sounding words, why don't you dare to admit it directly, those who follow you are right, and those who oppose you are wrong? β
"You are disloyal, unfilial, unkind, and unjust, and you are still talking nonsense here, you are really stubborn! It's useless to talk too much, you call things out! β
"Oh......" Shi Quan deliberately dragged out his voice and took out a palm-sized bronze jar from his arms, "That's what you're talking about?" β
"Give it to me!" Seeing the target appear, Xiao Ye stared directly at the thing that could save Rong Yue, and subconsciously wanted to step forward and snatch it.
Shi Quan turned sideways back to the fire, put his hand above the flames, and issued a warning: "If you rob it, I will burn this little thing to death, and then see what else can save your precious woman!" β
