"Bang!"

The jade bowl fell to the ground and fell into several petals, and the porridge inside was spilled on the ground.

"Situ, what's wrong with you? It's not hot, is it? Ling Jiantong hurriedly put down the chopsticks in his hand, and carefully wiped the porridge that had spilled on the placket of Situ Qianchen's clothes with a handkerchief.

Situ Qianchen's brows twisted slightly, and he suddenly felt a suffocation in his chest, and before he came back to his senses, his throat was warm, and he vomited blood!

The dazzling red color blended with the clear porridge on the ground, making Ling Jiantong couldn't help but be shocked: "Situ, what's wrong with you?!" ”

In the face of Ling Jiantong's panic, Situ Qianchen's heart sank for some reason, and a bad premonition rose suddenly, as if there was something most important in his heart that had been forcibly taken away.

Don't?

Situ Qianchen raised his eyes suddenly, almost staggered to his feet, and threw himself to the side of the bookshelf in a few steps, searching for the things on the bookshelf in a panic with both hands.

Ling Jiantong had never seen Situ Qianchen, who had always been calm, have such a flustered side today, his eyes were eager, and the books on the bookshelf were turned into a mess by him, and all the scattered ones were thrown on the ground.

"Situ, what are you looking for?" Ling Jiantong stepped forward to help him, but before she could reach his side, his frantic actions suddenly stopped.

There was a small brocade box placed in the dark pavilion of the bookshelf, Situ Qianchen's hand trembling a little when he touched it, but after all, he still opened the brocade box, and what was placed in the box was a transparent jade pendant, which was originally flawless, but for some reason, a long crack opened in the center of the jade pendant, and the jade pendant was divided into two halves.

Situ Qianchen was a little incredulous, he took the brocade box to the bright window, and rubbed his fingertips on the jade pendant several times, but the crack was real.

The sunlight hit the jade pendant, the light was a little dazzling, in a trance, Situ Qianchen seemed to vaguely see that in the courtyard, there were two seven-year-old children standing in front of a middle-aged man, although he couldn't see the front of the man, but from the upright back, it was not difficult to see that he was the father of the two children.

I saw him take out two jade pendants from his arms, each handed them to the two small palms, and instructed with a charitable eyebrow: "Qiannan, Qianchen, this is a jade pendant that my father specially asked the best craftsmen in the capital to carve for you when you were born, they represent the identity of your Situ family, and your respective names are engraved on it, you must be careful to keep it, don't lose it." ”

With that, the man reached out and touched the heads of the two children, and spoiled them to the extreme.

The two seven-year-old children looked at each other and smiled, and each clenched the jade pendant in the palm of his hand.

Situ Qianchen was stunned unconsciously, if it weren't for Ling Jiantong waking him up by his side, he didn't know how long he would be immersed in his memories.

"Situ, what's wrong with you? This jade pendant ......" Ling Jiantong retracted his gaze and looked at the jade pendant that had been split in half in the brocade box, and the jade pendant was impressively engraved with the word "south".

The jade pendant is broken, and the person is also dead.

"Situ ......" Ling Jiantong seemed to suddenly think of something, but when he looked up again, Situ Qianchen, who was obviously in front of him just now, had disappeared.

Suddenly, he only heard a horse roar outside the mansion, and Ling Jiantong hurriedly ran to the door of the Zhenguo Mansion, where Situ Qianchen had already ridden away on a meteor.

It's not good, Brother Qiannan is afraid that something will happen in Tianji City!

Ling Jiantong immediately called the guards at the gate of the mansion, and was about to ask him for a fast horse, when suddenly the wind blew in her ears, and Mu Jinghong appeared in front of her at some point.

"Eyes, where is the second brother?" The beads of sweat on Mu Jinghong's forehead slid down, obviously rushing over, but he was still a step late.

Ling Jiantong pointed to the direction where Situ Qianchen disappeared, and stomped his feet anxiously: "Situ, Situ, he didn't say anything, he rode the meteor in the direction of the outside of the city!" ”

Mu Jinghong's five fingers holding the reins suddenly increased his strength, but he didn't expect that he hurried slowly, but in the end he was still a step slower.

"Mu Jinghong, what happened? Hasn't Mu Zhen's army already gone to Tianji City? Did Brother Qiannan have an accident? Ling Jiantong couldn't wait to ask all her doubts in one go.

Mu Jinghong's eyes were slightly cold, and he replied with a somewhat complicated expression: "I also just got the tip report this morning, Tianji City was lost, and none of the Situ troops stationed in the city were spared. ”

Ling Jiantong's eyes widened in disbelief, a little incredulous: "What...... How can it be? What about the Muzhen people? What about his army of five thousand?! ”

It's okay not to mention this, but when he mentions this, Mu Jinghong really can't wait to catch Mu Zhen's villain right now and kill him with a thousand knives before he gets discouraged!

In order to be greedy for merit, Mu Zhen actually arrived slowly at the moment when Tianji City was captured by the Jingyuan Sect, and successfully killed the Jingyuan Sect by surprise, although Tianji City was taken back, but the original 3,000 Situ troops ......

Ling Jiantong bit her pale lips, she suddenly raised her eyes, no matter what, it is most important to catch up with Situ Qianchen now, she is afraid that Situ Qianchen will do something out of the ordinary in a fit of anger, and then Brother Qiannan will really sacrifice in vain.

"Mu Jinghong, your horse is fast, let's catch up with Situ together, I'm afraid that his temperament will have an accident when he sees Mu Zhen."

Mu Jinghong stretched out his hand and pulled Ling Jiantong, and the two of them rode a horse together, chasing quickly in the direction where Situ Qianchen disappeared.

In Tianji City, Gong Chuyue has been taking care of the unconscious Ye Zhengbai without unties, there is no good place on his body, just the doctor pulls out large and small blades and gun heads from him is enough to put half a basin, even the doctor is amazed, Ye Zhengbai's vitality is strong, if it is replaced by ordinary people, he would have already died, but he is still alive.

Gong Chuyue wrung out the handkerchief in the hot water, carefully wiped Ye Zhengbai's face, looking at him as quiet as he was asleep, Gong Chuyue began to rejoice, fortunately he arrived in Tianji City before Mu Zhen, otherwise, according to Mu Zhen's temperament, Ye Zhengbai would not be able to live.

Now that she is by his side, it can be regarded as an extra layer of protection, so that Mu Zhen can't do anything with him.

As she thought, the veil stopped on his chin, which had been blue and unshaven, but before the hard work of defending the city, his beard had grown more than an inch, and now he looked like a street wanderer.

Gong Chuyue really couldn't get used to his bearded appearance, so she couldn't help but take advantage of his coma to shave off his beard with a knife.

She moved cautiously, for fear of adding a new wound to his face, but fortunately she was the daughter of a general, and she had used a knife since she was a child, and in two or three strokes, her chin was clean.

Gong Chuyue got up and stared at her work, not to mention, she looked at Ye Zhengbai as a majestic wanderer on weekdays, but she didn't expect this beard to be removed, but it showed a little handsome, she looked at it, and the corners of her mouth showed a few smiles.

There was a sneaky figure floating outside the window of the room, and Mu Zhen was sitting upright in the hall, enjoying the joy of successfully capturing the city, and suddenly the figure hurriedly walked over, knelt in front of him and said, "Lord, there is no movement on Miss Gong's side." ”

Mu Hao glanced at him, and her tone was gloomy: "That Ye Zhengbai, didn't you wake up?" ”

"No, ordinary people have been stabbed so much, I'm afraid they won't survive for a long time, but I didn't expect this person's life to be quite hard, villain, his relationship with Miss Gong is not ordinary."

Mu Zhen snorted coldly, he didn't understand before, what does Tianji City have to do with her palace Chuyue, but he didn't expect this young lady to take risks several times, all for this kid.

"You know what? That Ye Zhengbai is the number one swordsman in the Tianyuan Kingdom, and he has good martial arts, but what I didn't expect was that he actually got together with Gong Chuyue, and now he has Gong Chuyue's protection, and we can't do it. ”

The kneeling man raised his eyes slowly, and a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes: "Lord Wang, Tianji City is very far away from the capital, why don't we give her to ...... without knowing it."

This point, Mu Zhen didn't think of it, but Gong Chuyue is the daughter of Fengguofu after all, if she acts rashly, I am afraid that she will offend Fengguofu, and the people who originally supported him are a lot less than the prince Mu Luo, he doesn't need to offend Shangfeng Guofu for the sake of Ye Zhengbai, it will be too much to lose.

"Okay, let's do this first, you just need to keep an eye on them, and if Ye Zhengbai wakes up, you can hurry up and tell you, hear?"

"The villain understands." With that, the man hurried back.

Mu Zhen closed her eyes slightly, and before she could recover her senses, a soldier hurriedly ran up again, his expression full of panic: "Lord Wang, no...... Oh no!"

Mu Zhen frowned, and said impatiently: "What's the matter?"

The soldier clenched his fists and then said truthfully: "I waited for the order of the prince to clean up the battlefield outside Tianji City, but after searching for a long time, I didn't find the body of General Zhaoyong. ”

"What?!" Mu Zhen's eyes widened, and it was not trivial at this time, he immediately got up and walked up to the little soldier and asked, "Have you found it clearly?!" Is there anything else I haven't found? ”

The little soldier trembled with fright: "Back to the prince, we have searched all over the place, but only the corpse of General Zhaoyong is missing." ”

It stands to reason that apart from Ye Zhengbai, there should be no one else alive, but why is Situ Qiannan's body gone? !

Could it be that he is alive too?

Mu Zhen didn't dare to think about it, one Ye Zhengbai was enough to upset Mu Zhen, fortunately, Ye Zhengbai didn't have any official position in the court, even if he told the truth of the matter, probably no one would believe it, but if Situ Qiannan was still alive, it would be different, he was the commander of the first army, and he spoke a lot, if he told Mu Zhen's snubbing to the emperor, then Mu Zhen would ......

Sluggishness on the march is a capital offense!

Mu Zhen was in a cold sweat on her back, no, such a thing must not happen.

"Quick, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you have to find Situ Qiannan's corpse for me, I want to see people alive, I want to see corpses when I die, if I can't see his corpse tomorrow, I want you to bury Situ Jun!"
