Chapter 281: The Ghost Lingers
Yan Liwu has had several contacts with Mu Jiuge, and he is relatively familiar with others in the Junzi Building, but it is obvious that the relationship between Xiao Fengyue and Mu Jiuge is better than Yan Liwu, and he trusts him very much.
Mu Jiuge drove the carriage through the streets and alleys wrapped in the night, and soon sent the two to a foothold in the city of Junzilou.
"It's rare to see you so flustered." After closing the door, Xiao Fengyue quipped with her arms crossed.
"My aunt, can you do it if you're not nervous? Do you know how many people are coming for the two of you? Mu Jiuge smiled bitterly, lit the oil lamp and let out a long sigh, "Stay in a small city - it's the child who was intimidated by you last time - it's good that he found those people on the way to run errands, and hid his identity to find out the purpose of their coming here, otherwise when they rush into the drunken wind and snow moon building, maybe you will still be blindfolded and dreaming." β
Under the flickering candlelight, Xiao Fengyue's angry expression was a little blurred: "Who are they?" Even you have to take three points back? β
"It's just an ordinary trouble, so naturally I don't get so nervous. I don't know where some of the rumors came from, not only did I describe Miss Yan as a vicious woman who was deliberately trying to deceive her to avoid death, but I also said that Mo Qing and Jun Zilou knew that Miss Yan was the King of Qinglian and still wanted to protect her in every possible way. After coming and going, those sects that already had gentlemen's buildings and had grievances, as well as some so-called chivalrous warriors under the banner of Tianxingdao, gathered together and decided to take action to 'clear away the evil spirits of the country' for the imperial court, and their target was the drunken wind and snow moon building, more specifically, it was aimed at the two of you. β
Mu Jiuge and Xiao Fengyue talked endlessly, but the words on the side remained silent until they were both a little dry, and then they opened their mouths quietly, and their voices were low.
"Did Mu Daxia know I was here? Why not tell anyone else? β
Mu Jiuge was slightly stunned, glanced at Xiaofeng Yue, and shrugged his shoulders casually: "Ah Yue doesn't allow me to say." β
The ambiguity that quickly rubbed out and dissipated between the interlaced eyes did not escape Yan Li's eyes, and after having some guesses about the relationship between Mu Jiuge and Xiao Fengyue, Yan Liwu still had some doubts - did Mu Jiuge really not tell anyone that she was hiding in the Drunken Wind and Snow Moon Building? Among the people who are concealed from the truth, is there a warm and inky feeling? If Mu Jiuge really didn't tell Wen Moqing where she was hiding, then she still couldn't speculate what kind of attitude Wen Moqing maintained towards her regarding the assassination of King Dingyuan.
When will this mess and debts end?
The silence in the tense atmosphere did not last long, but in half an hour, there was a knock on the door in the courtyard, and the panicked teenager stumbled into the house.
"Young master, it's not good, those people are coming this way!"
"Everyone?" Mu Jiuge pinched his eyebrows.
The young man who called the small town nodded desperately, his eyes swept over the words and worries, a little more hesitant, curious, and a little deliberately hiding the disgust and vigilance that he didn't want people to notice. But after all, he was young, and several people present were keenly aware of the thoughts of Xiaocheng, some were helpless, some were cold, and some lowered their heads to avoid it.
"It seems that our whereabouts are under the surveillance of the other party, and we can organize so many people from various sects, we should have thought that someone was behind the scenes." Scratching his head, Mu Jiuge smiled miserably, "Ah Yue, I've tried my best, there's no way, the enemy is too cunning." Wait a minute, I will try my best to hold back those people, you are most familiar with Yunhuai, but take this opportunity to take Miss Yan and stay in the small town to find a remote place to escape, the farther away the better, and don't show up until this matter is resolved. β
Xiao Fengyue was silent for a moment, her face expressionless: "Why, even the invincible Gentleman's Mansion doesn't work, can I only let you come out and die?" β
"Anyway, I can't get a daughter-in-law, the future is bright, and it's the same if I don't send it to death!"
Mu Jiuge likes to joke, no matter how tense the atmosphere is, he can laugh calmly, but not everyone can be as indifferent as him. Yan Liwu brushed shoulders with death several times, but none of them were so tired and depressed, even if it was a joke, it was still the most painful stab in her ears.
"Mu Daxia, does Mo Qing know that I am here?" After a long time, Yan Liwu finally couldn't help but ask.
Mu Jiuge was silent for a while, scratching his earlobes and dragging for a long time before he replied euphemistically: "I have given him news before, but it may not be delivered on time due to the recent chaos." β
In other words, Wen Moqing knew that she was in Yunhuai, but she never made any moves?
Yan Liwu didn't know whether she should think about the good or the bad, she had been desperately comforting herself that Wen Moqing would not abandon her, but now, she couldn't find a reason to support herself to persevere.
Dingyuan Wang ...... That's his father! In the face of family affection and love, even the amazing young master of the broken army will be confused, and it will be difficult to choose, right?
Lowering his head, he extinguished the candle with a worried voice, and his voice was cold in the sudden darkness.
"If it was Lian Song who planned all this behind the scenes, we would definitely not be able to escape his palm, and the only way to break through the cage was to go head-on and fight to break the net."
"Worry? What do you want? We said yes! Xiao Fengyue sensed that Yan Liwu's tone was wrong, and grabbed Yan Liwu's wrist violently, "No one in this world is so stupid that they know it's a trap and jump in, with me here, don't even think about it!" β
"Ever since I woke up in the wilderness, I felt someone staring at me, a gaze that followed me like a shadow, but I didn't know where its owner was hiding. Laughing boss, it's not that I'm too careful, it's that someone is really watching me from beginning to end, every decision we make and every step we take is under the control of the enemy, and escaping is never the solution, it will only make others who don't know the truth more sure that I'm guilty. I've had enough of all this, it's not a good feeling to live in the dark, and since I'm alive, I'm going to stand in front of people and see what else the people who are trying to kill me have to do. β
In the face of danger or fleeing for survival, this question has once again become the focus of controversy.
After a long time, Mu Jiuge sighed and sighed: "No wonder Moqing is so fond of the girl, this courage and responsibility, stubbornness and maverick behavior are completely carved out of the same mold with Moqing." Anyway, you can't compete for a superiority, so let me say a word - I agree with Miss Yan's idea, rather than running all the way in the surveillance and throwing yourself into the net according to the path set by the enemy, it is better to choose the result that the enemy does not expect. Suddenly turning his head to look at Yan Liwu, Mu Jiuge smiled and groaned: "Miss Yan, do you know why Mo Qing is called the young master of the broken army?" β
At the moment when the arrow was about to start, Mu Jiuge mentioned unrelated things, which made De Yan stunned and speechless.
"That's right, the title of the young master of the broken army was given by the master." Mu Jiuge didn't mind the surprise and helplessness of the two women beside him, his hand pointed upward, with an unpredictable smile on his face, "Breaking the Army Star, the seventh star of the Big Dipper, one of the three fierce stars." When we first entered the Junzi Building, Uncle Tong once said that Moqing had a personality in his bones to cut off the old relationship, break first and then stand, so the master called him to break the army. β
"Break first, then stand...... Sticking to it will only lead to retreat and no advance, and only by finding another way can we break the deadlock? But in the face of so many enemies, one will die if he is not careful, and if it is broken, there will be no chance to stand again. With a muttering between her lips and teeth, she smiled thoughtfully, and without waiting for her to understand the stakes, she had already opened the door and walked out with her head held high.
The night breeze is as gentle as silk, soft as the spring water of the river, and the half-covered moon hangs high, casting a faint and thin cold silver glow.
Such a moonlit and quiet night always reminded Yan Liwu of the eve of the wedding, and the same bright moonlight once shone on the happiest moment of her life.
Will it come again on a night like that?
Straightening his chest and taking a deep breath, he stood in the middle of the courtyard with a solemn voice, listening to the noise approaching, and watching the light of the torches coming little by little.
"Open the door! We know the enchantress is hiding here! Junzilou is known as the first floor of the rivers and lakes, not only does it avenge the virtuous and loving king of Dingyuan, but also protects the demon girl who has brought disaster to the country and the people? ! Open the door! Quick openβ"
The shouting stopped abruptly.
The group of people stood at the door and shouted a few times, and then I don't know who raised their feet and rudely kicked the door open, thinking that what they saw would be an empty courtyard and a closed door in the room, so the scolding and shouting did not stop, but unexpectedly, after the door was kicked open, it was a proud figure that broke into everyone's eyes directly, although the color and style of the clothes were vulgar, but against the backdrop of that indifferent and elegant face, it became more and more jade bones and ice clear, and it was unrefined.
"I'm just standing here, not hiding or running, there's no need to scare people with such open fire." Yan Li glanced faintly, and his calm gaze made the intruder crowd silent for a while.
Xiao Fengyue and the others tightly guarded Yan Li's worries, and the small city looked around tremblingly, seeing that there were more than 20 people who broke into the courtyard, and there were still twice as many people outside the door who had not yet entered, and their throats gurgled, and their legs couldn't help but tremble.
The number of people can often boost the momentum, and after the initial surprise, the enemy who reacted first had already begun another round of angry scolding, which was nothing more than some accusations that the Qinglian King had charmed the king's heart, and was insidious and vicious. I have heard too many of these words, and I have learned not to block myself in my heart, and when a group of people have said that the stars have dried up, I raised my eyebrows and eyes, and I was generous.
"I'm the person you're looking for, but I'm not the King of Qinglian, let alone the murderer of King Dingyuan."
Xiao Fengyue took the time to look at Mu Jiuge, and there was deep helplessness hidden under her eyes - just like that, do you want to calm down the incident? If you can, then why hide in Tibet and stand up early to say that it will be good soon? In other words, these persecutors who are very likely to be gathered by the real murderers behind the scenes have their own opinions, how can they release their previous suspicions with a single excuse?
A sentence that sounded quite ridiculous made the enemy on the other side feel very interesting, you look at me, I see you sneering and sneering a few times, and finally someone stood up and spoke: "I want to be the Qinglian King back then, and I can't live forever, why, now I don't even dare to admit my identity?" Is guts eaten by dogs? β
Yan is not angry or annoyed, and even smiles lightly in the tiger's eye, and gestures are confident.
"Everything must be truthful and substantiated, and if there is no evidence, it must at least conform to speculation. My identity aside, I just hope you can deduce that if I am the real murderer of King Dingyuan, and the King of Qinglian who took away the edict of avoiding death and wants to change his life, then why do I still stay in Yunhuai until now, instead of going to the imperial capital to survive with the edict of avoiding death? Also, if I am the King of Qinglian, after I have already hidden my identity and become the concubine of the prince of King Dingyuan, what reason do I have to kill my relatives and destroy the stable environment that I have won so hard, just for a decree that may or may not be useful to avoid death? Which ones are true and which ones are false, and who instigated you to get here, I think smart people should think about it. β
