Chapter 105: Fatal Mistake
"On the day when the young master led people to break into Qinglian Palace, the prince seemed to have a premonition, and handed over this half of the jade pendant to me early, telling me to keep it anyway, and if she died, let this jade pendant be buried with her. At that time, I didn't understand what the meaning of this jade pendant was to the prince, but now I probably understand, this jade pendant should be a token of the prince and the twin sisters. β
Yin Junbai took out the other half of the jade pendant he kept, and carefully put the two halves of the jade pendant together, the white butterfly was lifelike, and a strange flocculent blue oblique ran through the jade pendant, making the butterfly more vivid and beautiful, as if it was about to fly.
"Dark jade, also known as Ni Lanhe, is only produced in a barren mountain outside Zhongzhou, and there are only a few pieces of jewelry made of it." When everyone was silent, Wen Moqing spoke abruptly, and his tone was tasteless, "Legend has it that this blue in the jade is transformed by the soul of a person, because that barren mountain is the intersection of the two worlds of yin and yang, so only there will be jade with this blue stripe; Because it is rare in the world, this jade is priceless and priceless, and it is impossible for someone who is not of great status and wealth to own it. β
Yan Liwu has lived in an environment where she has lived since she was a child, so she can't believe in the strange power, so she naturally scoffs at the theory of what soul gets into jade, but looking at Wen Moqing's face, she always feels a little weird: "Are you very interested in jade?" Otherwise, how can you know so much? β
Wen Moqing's fingertips trembled slightly without a trace, and he turned his back to the curious three, and when his sleeves stroked the thin dust-covered makeup, his tone pretended to be calm: "It's a coincidence, in addition to the Qinglian King, I also know a person who has this kind of jade." β
"It's her," Yan Li didn't want to think about it, looking at Wen Moqing's back, and his tone was also light, "Helian Mingyan." β
Except for Helian Ming, who else will make Wen Moqing show a silent expression? Only that near-perfect woman is worthy of such a beautiful jade pendant, just like Wen Moqing, which is unique and irreplaceable.
I can't tell what the mood should be called at this moment, whether it is sympathy and pity, envy and jealousy, or gloomy loss?
Come to think of it, it seems that she has no reason for jealousy or loss, then it must be sympathy - yes, she is pitying Wen Moqing, feeling sorry for the collapse of his otherwise perfect relationship, so she wants to comfort him, she will feel uneasy and guilty because of her unintentional words, and worry about whether he will be hurt by her own words.
I was idle like this, and finally I gradually felt at ease.
"Let's talk about it later. Now it has been roughly determined that this is where the twin sisters of the Qinglian King live, and based on these clothes and jewelry that are the same as the Qinglian King, it can also be inferred that the Qinglian King is likely to be not just a person, but a pair of sisters with a similar appearance - Jun Bai, you have always said that the Qinglian King trusts you very much, so do you know these things? β
Wen Moqing's cold questioning made Yin Junbai's already pale face even more pale, shook his body, and shook his head after a long time.
Since entering the underground palace, Bi Sheng has no place to spill his anger, seeing that Wen Moqing has a lot of reproach for Yin Junbai, he can't help but treat him as a soft persimmon, and he keeps counting: "Treat Qinglian King as a reborn parent all day long, and even disobey the orders of the senior brother for that kind of woman, what benefits do you get in the end?" In a hurry, you give your heart to others, but people only treat you as a fool, who is shrewd and who is stupid can't see it? You'd better die earlier, if you continue to be so stupid, be careful that you will be betrayed by her again! β
Bi Sheng's words were like sharp thorns piercing Yin Junbai's chest, not only harsh, but even more piercing, and the meaning of the words also involved the words and worries, and people with long ears could naturally hear it.
Yan Li glanced at Bi Sheng coldly, walked in front of Wen Moqing and hugged Yin Junbai: "Don't listen to what others say, just think it's a fart." β
The word fart is extremely indecent, and it lowers his identity when he says it from his mouth, but Wen Moqing still can't help but feel a sense of joy, glances at the junior sister who is flushed, and pretends to be serious with a smile: "What's the noise?" Are they all three aunts and six mothers-in-law with broken mouths? Grab your things and keep walking inside. β
Bi Sheng wanted to speak and stopped, glared at Yan Li with hatred, threw up his sleeves and strode out.
Everyone can hear that Wen Moqing is helping to talk about it, or it should be said that it is deliberately trying to provoke Bisheng's willful temper, and if it continues, it will be harmful to Bisheng.
Yin Junbai smiled and expressed his gratitude to Yan Liwu, silently put away the two jade pendants and put them away, pointed to the map and whispered: "There are many such small rooms in the underground palace, according to our current search speed, we can only check seven or eight for a whole day without eating or drinking, and it will take at least five or six days to walk through them all." Young master, do you want to continue walking today? β
"You can't waste a quarter of an hour, you have to walk while your legs are still on your body." Wen Moqing picked up the lantern that had been extinguished, replaced it with a candle with the fire of the ever-bright lamp, and stuffed it back into Yan Li's hand, "The dungeon is heavy and not ventilated, you must pay more attention to the candle flame, and the place that is about to go out cannot be easily passed." β
Seeing that Bi Sheng could no longer be found outside the small room, he stepped out of his worries, and there was a hint of eagerness: "Don't you go to find your gentle fiancΓ©e?" She's running around like that, but she doesn't run into any traps. β
Before the words landed, Bi Sheng's exclamation suddenly came from not far away, followed by a loud noise, similar to the previous dark arrow landing. Wen Moqing's brows tightened and she was about to fly away, when Bi Sheng cursed loudly, causing the three people at the door of the small room to be slightly stunned, and Qi Qi shook his head helplessly.
"Bisheng, come back, don't mess around."
It is rare that Wen Moqing spoke to Bi Sheng with a gentle tone, and Bi Sheng, who had received an unexpected surprise, quickly returned the same way and appeared in everyone's sight. Seeing Wen Moqing walking in front of the other two, guessing that he must have wanted to rush to save himself just now, Bi Sheng couldn't help but smile and ran towards Wen Moqing quickly.
But this joy is a loss of prudence.
Completely forgetting that he was in the underground palace full of organs, Bi Sheng's footsteps stepped firmly on the stone slab, and in the silence only heard the sound of footsteps and a rumbling sound, the footsteps were in front of everyone, and the muffled sound came from behind everyone.
The first to realize the danger was Wen Moqing, without any complicated consideration, Wen Moqing quickly turned around and wanted to pull away from Yan Liwu, only to find that it was impossible when he turned back - there was a Yin Junbai between him and Yan Liwu, the two were five steps apart, and his speed of action was definitely not better than the several iron arrows that came onto him in the small room.
"Hide!"
With nothing to do, Wen Moqing could only remind loudly, helplessly saying that the reaction speed of the danger behind him was enough, but the speed of physical action could not keep up, only to realize that this time when the mechanism came from the small room behind, the iron arrow with a cold light at the tip had already traveled in front of him. The passage of the underground palace is very narrow, and when they came, the four of them passed in a row in front and back, and Yan Liwu subconsciously took half a step back, but he knew in his heart that this half step could not save her.
Just when the arrow hit the life-and-death situation in front of her, a huge force hugged her waist, and after a whirlwind, she was no longer worried about the terrible dark arrow that took people's lives, but Wen Moqing's surprised expression.
Poof, the muffled sound of the sharp weapon sinking into the flesh swept through the ears, a low groan, a smell of blood.
"Junbai!" Feeling the pressure on his back, Yan Liwu turned around to support the warm body that was leaning towards him, and his heart was frightened and cold.
At the last moment, it was Yin Junbai who hugged her tightly and turned around in a circle to change positions, using his body to block the flying iron arrows, saving Yan Li's life while being shot by one of the arrows. The tip of the arrow that came out of the body cut through the palm of Yan Li's worry, and the blood on his hand was full of blood, and he didn't know whether it was from his own wound or Yin Junbai, but he felt that the blood was hot and sticky, and his chest was cold.
Bi Sheng, who had made the fatal mistake, stood in place, watching the blood gushing out of Yin Junbai's wound soaking through his clothes and gradually spreading, panicking and remorseful, wanting to ask and say sorry, but he couldn't make a sound anyway. Wen Moqing didn't have time to pay attention to Bi Sheng, and quickly went to Yin Junbai's side to point a few acupoints near the wound, and when the bleeding stopped for a while, he didn't hesitate to carry the person behind him.
"Bi Sheng, lead the way ahead, and return the same way." At this time, Wen Moqing was so cold that he had no feelings, even though he knew that there might be traps on the road that had not yet been discovered, he still asked Bi Sheng to go to the front. Bi Sheng was already overwhelmed by his cold face, nodded and turned around, endured the grievances and walked forward carefully, and before he took the first step, he heard Wen Moqing speak to Yan Liwu, and his heart was as cold as ice for a moment.
"Did it hurt? It's fine if you don't have β follow me and watch your step. β
One takes risks in the front, and the other is protected in the back; A cold speaker is like a stranger, and a gentle voice is caring...... At that moment, Bi Sheng really wanted to turn around and ask Wen Moqing loudly, who is the junior sister he grew up with since childhood, and who is the person he should be close to?
However, Bi Sheng did not speak, but swallowed all the resentment and grievances into his stomach, and pinched his nails into the tender flesh of his palm.
She knows very well that she no longer has any advantage compared to Yan Liwu, and if she wants to save Wen Moqing's heart, she must be more subtle and tactful, or let Yan Liwu completely become the unforgivable sinner of the Dingyuan Wang family, King Qinglian, or, let her disappear forever.
Xu is heart silently prayed that God would bless him in the end, Yan Liwu and the others returned to the outside of the underground palace very smoothly, because Yin Junbai was injured on his shoulder near his chest, the injury could be light or serious, Wen Moqing had to postpone the plan to explore the underground palace and send him to the nearest town for treatment, and the three of them stayed temporarily in the inn opposite the medical hall. Yan Li was worried about Yin Junbai's injury, until he woke up from hemorrhagic shock, he stayed by the bedside, wiped and changed the dressing in person, and the people in the hospital thought that she and Yin Junbai were a couple, but because of Wen Moqing's faint but courageous gaze, no one dared to discuss it.
Yin Junbai woke up when it was almost midnight, and when he saw Yan Liwu busy working by the bed, he was moved and nervous, and he barely got up several times and almost opened the wound. In order to let him rest in peace, he entrusted the person to the doctor in the hall, walked out of the hospital alone, and stood in the dark night with a long sigh.
"I'm going to take care of people until now, what are you for? Afraid I'll run away? Looking sideways at Wen Moqing, who was leaning against the wall outside the door of the medical hall, he asked knowingly.
"I'll keep an eye on you, lest this hospital be upset by you." Wen Moqing raised his hand and threw a coat to Yan Liwu, and pointed to a brightly lit shop not far away, "Order a few side dishes, fill your stomach first and then go back to the inn." β
