When Mu Jingzhu came in, he saw a pool of blood on the bed, and Qu Youying was nowhere to be found.

He rushed out of the room and yelled at Wufang, "What about her! Where is she! ”

When Empress Yan heard the voice, she came out of the room, and when she saw her son looking so nervous and angry, she frowned and said, "What's wrong?" ”

"She's it! Where did you get her! ”

From the time he entered the door to the time he came out just now, he didn't hear any noise, and the people guarding the door were all masters brought by the Empress Yan, and it was impossible for Qu Youying to encounter danger, but they didn't know it.

Therefore, it is reasonable for Mu Jingzhu to think so.

Empress Yan waved the man down, and then said, "I didn't do this, you misunderstood me." ”

Empress Yan knows that she owes this son since she was a child, and she knows what her son's temperament is, so every time she meets, she doesn't call herself this palace.

But obviously, even if she did so well, Mu Jingzhu would not believe her this time.

Because the traces in the room showed that Qu Youying was seriously injured before being taken away.

There was so much blood, she refused to scream, and the only reason was that she was dumb by someone.

She can't scream, so she can only be slaughtered.

"Hand her over, and as long as she's safe, I'll grant you all your requests."

This is the only regression that Mu Jingzhu can do, he is willing to give up everything, just want her to be intact.

But Empress Yan still shook her head, "I really don't know about this. If you don't believe me, I can give you invulnerable. If he confesses that I did it, then I will also find Qu Youying and hand it over to you, and I will also promise to let you stay in Xiangling Town forever, and the grievances between the Great Xia Kingdom and the Hua Kingdom will no longer involve you. ”

Although Empress Yan was in a high position in Huaguo, for the grievances between Huaguo and Daxia Kingdom, she planned for a long, long time, and even did not hesitate to send away her son from a young age to complete the great cause.

Her determination was fierce and firm enough, and Mu Jingzhu was also very clear, so the more she said this, the more he didn't believe it.

"I'll take it away, but this happened after you came, and you know what your purpose is. I just want to tell you that as long as her life is threatened, no matter who you are, this account will not be over. ”

He put down his cruel words, turned around and left, and the secret guard hiding on the side frowned when he saw this, "Master, will he hinder our plan?" Do you want to go down and follow? ”

"No, you don't." After Mu Jingzhu left, Empress Yan's expression suddenly became cold and dark, she took a deep breath, her eyes were filled with a deep coldness, and said, "Go and ask King Ji where he took people." You tell him that if he breaks his promise, then all the agreements between us will be ruined. ”

"Yes."

The secret guard hid in the darkness and left, and the queen went back to her room to rest under the service of the maid.

Mu Jingzhu walked out of the inn with Flawlessness, and his figure disappeared into the darkness, nowhere to be found.

At this time, it was already late, and the rich black was immersed in the whole earth, and only the faint candle flame illuminated the heaven and the earth.

"Babbling", someone pushed open a door, and the people waiting inside the door heard the movement, looked at the door, and were shocked.

"Wood Candle?"

Mu Yu didn't know what this person meant by suddenly coming to the door, but he saw that he was still holding something on his bloody hands.

The man called "Mu Jing Candle" did not answer, but stepped in, closed the door, and threw the things in his hand on the table.

Mu Yu looked down and saw that it was a piece of human skin, although it was covered in blood, but he could still see some pictures painted on it.

"It's—"

"Esoteric Heaven's Treasure Map."

Jiang Tong's voice came from the mouth of "Mu Jing Candle", Mu Yu looked up, and saw that he casually took off the one on his face and threw it aside.

And under the mask, it is Jiang Tong who is undoubtedly.

"Young Master." Mu Yu was overjoyed, "You succeeded?" ”

"Go and wash the human skin, fortunately, the young master and I are fast, otherwise I would have been taken away by Xi Fengyi."

On the way back, he met Xi Fengyi.

Because tonight is Qu Youying's birthday, according to convention, in order for the map to disappear again, it is necessary to apply the potion of Xi Fengyi's characteristics.

Fortunately, he took the first step, disguised himself as a wooden candle, and peeled off the map.

In this way, Qu Youying, who had long been suspicious of Mu Jing Candle, would definitely hate Mu Jing Candle.

As long as they turn against each other, then Jiang Tong's plan will have a chance.

"Deal with it, I'll clean it up."

"Okay."

Jiang Tong went to the back room to clean up, and when he came out, Mu Yu was standing in front of the table, and a human skin map was placed on the table intact.

Jiang Tong's eyes narrowed, and his face was hidden under the faint yellow candle flame, and the light and darkness were unclear.

But after a while, he walked to the table by himself, picked up the teapot that had already cooled on the table, and poured a cup of tea.

didn't go to get the table, let alone look at Mu Yu, so he said to the quiet room, "Since you have pretended to be Mu Yu, why don't you take the map?" ”

Mu Yu's eyes blinked, and he didn't hide it, "How did the prince find me?" ”

Jiang Tong glanced sideways at "Mu Yu" and said, "Because of such a bad disguise technique, it will be used by people after the flames." ”

"If the master hears the prince's words, I'm afraid he will be sad."

"Sad?" Jiang Tong laughed out loud, put the herbal tea in his hand on the table, and said, "Say, what are you doing here all of a sudden?" I want to ask this king, why did he break his promise and go to Qu Youying? Because once she is moved at this moment, I am afraid that the Empress Yan will no longer be able to control her son! ”

The other party did not speak, but Jiang Tong had already asked and answered himself.

"That's true. For the sake of Qu Youying, the young master and the master had a big quarrel, and everything that was supposed to be good is now impossible to achieve. So the master wants to ask the prince, why did you break your word? ”

"This king has never promised her, not to move Qu Youying. Now that the map appears at such a good time, I missed tonight, but I have to wait another year, such an opportunity, who would willingly miss it? You go back and tell her that if you want to continue our cooperation, she better listen to me. ”

As he spoke, Jiang Tong took out a piece of cloth from his arms, and there were seven red beads in it.

Not long ago, he drugged Qu Youying, and after Mu Jingzhu took people away, he hadn't had time to retrieve it.

"Why are these beads here for you?"

The man was shocked.

"Now the red beads that represent the key, and the map are all with me, and if you want to find the treasure, even if you don't have a scroll, you can do it. So if Empress Yan really wants to protect Huaguo's current status, it's best to listen to me and deal with Qu Youying as soon as possible. As long as she dies, Mu Jingzhu will collapse, so it will be easier for her to better control her son. ”

When the other party heard this, he didn't answer for a long time.

Jiang Tong yawned, waved his hand and said, "I'm sleepy, you can go!" ”

He put away the map and red beads on the table, and lay down on the bed with his clothes closed.

The other party stared at him for a while, his figure flashed, and he disappeared in place.

Jiang Tong looked at the open window, and it could be seen that on the roof outside the window, the man went straight to the inn he went to just now, jumped into the backyard, and disappeared.

Jiang Tong smiled slightly, did not continue to sleep, but quietly left the town from the back door of the inn in the dark.

When the warm sun shone on the earth, the darkness of the long night was finally dispelled.

Qu Youying lay on her side, the warmth around her made her not feel pain, but she clearly heard someone talking beside her.

"You continue to sneak back to Empress Yan and tell her that Qu Youying is being held by Jiang Tong. And he also has a red bead in his hand. With the temperament of the queen of the flames, he will definitely not trust Jiang Tong again after knowing it, as long as the balance between them is broken, we will have a chance. ”

"Jiang Tong has been relying on the power of the Empress Yan to compete with King Yi for the position of the East Palace, if the balance is broken, King Yi will have the first opportunity, this person is not a good person compared to Jiang Tong."

"What I want is not good or bad, between the Great Xia Kingdom and the Hua Kingdom, how many years of open and secret fighting, now I can only keep one."

Xi Fengyi lowered his head and touched Qu Youying's face, his voice was unprecedentedly cold.

"Is it worth it to push the two countries to the cusp of the storm for her?"

"Even if there is no her, the Great Xia Kingdom and the Hua Kingdom will go to the cusp of the storm, everything is for a treasure, just look at the kindness of the world, this is the reality. And you, the fourth son of Shui, should know better than me. ”

Water Four? Shui Linze?

Qu Youying originally heard vaguely, and it wasn't until this moment that she became sober.

But when she opened her eyes, what she saw was not Shui Linze's face.

But the way he looked at him, there was no doubt that he was watery.

"Shui Linze, Master."

She screamed weakly, and only then did someone still hold her.

But there were two people in the carriage, both opposite her, so who would be the person holding her?

She looked up, and at a glance she met the man who was so familiar that he would appear in her dreams day and night.

"Jing Candle."

She smiled slightly, but her eyes were red.

At this moment, she could still recall the pain when she was lying on the bed and saw Mu Jingzhu cut her flesh.

At that time, she really hated him to death, because she always believed that even if Mu Jingzhu really wanted to get the map, she would not hurt him in this way.

He is a member of the Chinese royal family, he has his mission, but he also has his bottom line.

So she believed in him and handed him all the red beads, not asking him what he did, but only looking at his determination.

And he didn't disappoint her.

"I'm sorry."

Mu Jingzhu opened his mouth to apologize, which made Qu Youying slightly stunned, and then smiled.

"There is no excuse, people, to do great things, you must give and take. You can't protect me all the time, and I can't be unharmed, if this injury can completely calm everything, then I'm worth it. ”

Qu Youying is not a person who can comfort people, but these words, coming out of her mouth, are so natural, as if she is thinking about it all the time.

"Don't worry, the fish are reeling in the net, and when everything is over, we will go back to Xiangling Town, take your father, and leave."

"Nope." Qu Youying shook her head, "I want to stay, because that's our home." ”

Among the royal family, there is no home.

This is what Mu Jingzhu has believed in since he was a child, but Qu Youying gave him a home, a home that he wanted to go back to.

For the sake of that home, he had to go down firmly, and forge a pair of arms that could shelter her from the wind and rain.

"Okay." He bowed his head and kissed her forehead, "You and Master go back first, and when I'm done, I'll come to you." ”

"No, I want to go with you."

"it, if you hadn't come one step earlier for the teacher, you would have lost too much blood and died. Wait, now that the map and keys are out, the rest is none of your business. ”

Xi Fengyi took her into his arms, and not long after the carriage moved forward, he drove Mu Jingzhu and Shui Linze, who were disguised as the secret guards of the Empress Yan, out of the carriage.

Then he drove the carriage and took Qu Youying back to Xiangling Town.

For several days, Qu Youying didn't get any news about Mu Jingzhu, and the most was that Jiang Tong took a team of people and horses to the easternmost Dalin Mountain Range of Esoteric Tianxuan, and King Yi also sent people to follow closely.

After the fire, he sent people to go from another direction.

Xi Fengyi said that there was the final point of the treasure on the map.

The Esoteric Tianxuan people, although they also speculated that the treasure was hidden in the Dalin Mountains.

However, from the formation of the Daelim Mountains to the present, no one who has gone into the depths has been able to return.

What was in that big forest was something that even the people of the Esoteric Sect didn't know.

But whenever Qu Youying asked about Mu Jingzhu's whereabouts, Xi Fengyi didn't say anything.

So all she can do is wait.

While waiting, she began to study the map that Xi Fengyi gave her.

In fact, every year when he applied potion to her and hid the map, he drew a part of the map, and year after year, the map could appear without external fighting.

It's just that she looked at the map over and over again, and always felt that she had seen it somewhere, but she couldn't remember it.

Until, on this day, Xi Fengyi said that Xin Yang wanted to see her.

When she saw the Esoteric Tianxuan sect crest hanging on Xin Yang's waist, she realized where she had seen the map. I want to talk about "Bone Physiognomy" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
