Chapter 200: The Vanishing Village

Regarding Mu Baili's matter, Wen returned to Shangshu Mansion and failed to reveal anything, after all, there are some things that should not be opened and cannot be spoken. However, because of this, Wen Su was sure of one thing, that is, Mu Baili's thoughts about Zhao Wuwu.

This thought is probably true.

"Where have you been?" Su Xi asked.

Wen Gu put the hat in his hand aside, "I found an ancient recipe, but I need some medicinal materials, so I went to the street to prepare it." Fortunately, he had already prepared, and on the way back, he went to the medicinal herb shop and prepared some medicinal herbs to come back.

Seeing this, Su Xi no longer doubted, but just reminded, "Childe has started again, you hurry up and follow me." ”

As soon as he heard this, Wen was in a hurry, and hurriedly handed over the medicinal materials in his hand to the people below, and hurriedly rushed to Tingfeng Tower. The drizzle fell on the treetops, hitting the leaves with a rustling sound.

Zhao Wuwu curled up in the corner, and the whole person showed an extremely painful look. The kind of pain that is gnawed by thousands of ants, and the desire to scratch her heart with a hundred claws, are intertwined, which makes people really unbearable. The first time I endured the past was lucky, but now, people's willpower has been gradually smoothed out.

"Childe?" Hurry forward.

Zhao Wuwu knelt on the ground weakly, the green silk was scattered, and his face was already extremely white. At this moment, her craving for drugs began to grow, and she didn't know how long she could stay awake. Once or twice she could bear it, but after a long time, she couldn't bear it anymore.

The infinite torment brought her to the brink of collapse, and she wondered if she was about to die, saliva kept pouring out of her mouth, and her whole body was trembling endlessly. But she couldn't do it, and the last shred of sobriety in her mind was deprived.

"Childe? Childe, you hold on! Su Xi shouted and quickly hugged Zhao Wuwu, who was trembling constantly.

Seeing this situation, Wen Gu already knew that Zhao Wuwu's physical strength was about to run out, and as long as his physical strength was exhausted, the corresponding sanity and sobriety would disappear, so he had to help Zhao Wuwu suppress the cold poison running around in her body before she lost her mind.

The cold poison was pulled by the black incense, constantly disturbing the thoughtfulness of the butterfly Gu, the butterfly Gu was now in a weak position, so there was no way to fight with these two poisons, but it was tightly wrapped by the cold poison, and it couldn't move at all.

This is also the reason why Zhao Wuwu became more and more impatient after falling ill.

The cold poison seems to have realized the danger, only by being wrapped in a butterfly Gu can it protect its own integrity, and the cold poison without follow-up replenishment has been treated with a golden needle to assist in the past, and this cold poison has begun to gradually dissolve.

"I-" Zhao Wuwu was short of breath, and his whole person was stiff and trembling, "I-I'm about to lose it, Suxi, I-"

Su Xi panicked, Zhao Wuwu's eyes were white, and his body was extremely cold, which was not a good sign.

After the golden needle was roasted, it quickly pierced into Zhao Wuwu's body, and his forehead was full of cold sweat. He didn't know how long this situation would last, after all, Zhao Wuwu's foundation was so bad that it was difficult to pass this hurdle.

But he made a promise in front of Mu Baili, so no matter what, he must ensure that Zhao Wuwu can survive the torture of Wuxiang.

As long as he can break the idea of taking medicine and cut off the control of Wuxiang, Zhao Wuwu will be able to get a new life. She can no longer be controlled by such poison, a puppet for the rest of her life, a pawn for a lifetime.

So, I have to do my best.

After the golden needle was pierced, Zhao Wuwu felt a warm warmth on the back of his neck overflow slightly, and that kind of thing suddenly moved in his body like a warm current. Although it was fleeting, it seemed to be a lot more comfortable for her.

The brain began to gradually clear up, and gradually I could finally see the two people in front of me clearly, and I was immediately relieved and collapsed to the ground.

"Childe?" Su Xi was stunned, and hurriedly picked up Zhao Wuwu and walked quickly towards the bed.

Wen Gu sat on the edge of the bed to explore the pulse of Zhao Wuwu, "You must endure it, you must endure it!" The fingertips trembled slightly, and the face of the gentlemen was not much better than Zhao Wuwu, and there was anxiety in the paleness, and extreme forbearance in the anxiety.

As long as Zhao Wuwu can endure it, he can endure it for as long as he can.

If one day Zhao Wuwu can't help it, he doesn't know if he can still hold on, maybe he can't help it! What are the consequences of not being able to help it, I dare not think about it, and I can't think about it. He was worried and afraid, and he had infinite considerations, for fear that because of his carelessness, she would change the trajectory of her life from now on.

Although she is not having a good time now, at least she is now in a high position and has enough power to protect herself.

Otherwise......

Take a deep breath and close your eyes.

Su Xi was shocked, "What's wrong?" Is Childe's illness a little worse? Or say-" Su Xi's face turned pale, staring at Wen Su in disbelief, "Don't scare me, I'll tell you about Wen Shu, if there is anything wrong with the son, I'll ask you." ”

"If anything happens to her, I will be the first to not let go of myself, and I will not work hard." Wen Gu exhaled a breath and looked at Zhao Wuwu, who was tired and asleep because of the pain, "Now my biggest wish is to help her get rid of the pain." The pain of Wuxiang's attack is not something that anyone can bear, even those of you who practice martial arts may not be able to endure it. ”

Su Xi pursed her lips, "What's the use of you saying this, the key is to make Childe better." When will this damn black incense, damn cold methamphetamine, be completely removed? ”

After a pause, Su Xi asked again, "Let me ask you, if Gongzi expels the cold ice and black incense, will her body be fine?" In that case, you won't be as sick as you are now, will you? ”

"As long as the cold poison can be eliminated, her body will be fine." Wen Gu's eyes were warm, "As a father, but he jokes about his daughter's life, this father is really qualified." ”

"Regardless of whether Zhao Song's father is qualified enough or not, it is all a matter of the son's family, and it has nothing to do with you as an outsider." Su Xi went to wring a towel and carefully wiped Zhao Wuwu's sweat. Sighing lightly, Su Xi sneered and looked at Wen Gu, who was noncommittal, "Wen Gu, I found that your curiosity about Gongzi is really comprehensive." ”

Wen didn't say much, just got up and walked out.

"Where are you going?" Su Xi asked.

Wen Gu paused, "I'll go decoction." ”

After that, there was no turning back.

Su Xi's eyes were slightly sick, this old man was really getting stranger and stranger. Another day, I have to take time out to settle the ledger with this old man. lest he make a sudden move in the coming day, and everyone will be caught off guard.

Zhao Wuwu was too tired, but subconsciously he was extremely attached to that warm feeling. She didn't know what it was, she only knew that when she closed her eyes and fell asleep, she dreamed of the pear blossoms of that tree.

Murong was still standing under the pear blossom tree, looking at her with a light smile.

She approached Murong, and the pear blossoms that fluttered like snow fell on her shoulders. She wanted to ask Murong something, but for a while she was lost in Murong's gentle smile, and her nose was a little inexplicably pantothenic. I didn't feel this way before, but now I feel a little sour.

The moment the four eyes met, Murong smiled on his lips, and there seemed to be mist in his eyes. She stared directly at Zhao Wuwu in front of her, and that affectionate appearance made Zhao Wuwu feel the urge to turn around and run.

This look made her a little unbearable, a little afraid to accept.

In fact, Zhao Wuwu really did that, turned around and ran away. In her dreams, she didn't have to worry about whether her body would be too weak to run, she could run endlessly, and take steps freely.

However, behind him, he could still hear Murong's voice, that sentence: I can't let you go.

Suddenly opened his eyes, Zhao Wuwu sat up in shock, and his clothes were already wet with cold sweat.

"Childe?" Su Xi hurriedly stepped forward and quickly wiped the cold sweat on Zhao Wuwu's forehead with a wet towel, "Is Childe better?" ”

Zhao Wuwu turned his head to look at her, the light in his eyes gradually gathered, and finally his eyes fell on Su Xi. Her lips trembled slightly, and she said in a low voice, "She said, Hehuan, I can't let you go." ”

Su Xi was stunned, "Huh? ”

Wen Gu stood at the door with the medicine, his hand trembled, and the hot decoction swayed on the back of his hand. The back of his hand was flushed red, and he stood there almost oblivious to the pain.

He heard everything Zhao Wuwu said.

What this means, Hui knows better than anyone else. The butterfly Gu carried Murong's hope before she died, and her memories stayed in Zhao Wuwu's body, so during this time, he continued to use golden needles to stimulate the cultivation of the butterfly Gu and dissolve the cold poison, which also made Murong's appearance more and more every time.

But—how he wished that Murong could appear in his world, even if it was just for a glance.

Taking a deep breath, Wen Gu walked in the door, looking at Zhao Wuwu, who had just woken up, with complicated eyes, "Drink medicine!" This medicine can gradually reduce your dependence on black incense, so that you can gradually cut off the idea of black incense. ”

Zhao Wuwu looked up at the old man in front of him, "Do you dream of Murong?" ”

Wen was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head, "No, she rarely comes to my dreams." Probably because he was afraid that I would be uncomfortable, so even if he left my side, he didn't even give me a chance to dream back at midnight. ”

"Since it is life and death, it is naturally unnecessary to say goodbye. Goodbye, it's just a matter of sadness! Su Xi responded, took the decoction in Wen Gu's hand and handed it to Zhao Wuwu.

The medicine is very bitter, but there are so many unresolved knots in my heart that it really grinds people.

"Then do you know, why did Murong say that sentence to me over and over again?" Zhao Wuwu asked, "She said that she couldn't let go of me, is it because of the butterfly Gu on my body?" ”

Smile at the past, "Probably yes!" After all, I couldn't see this last side, so I don't know what Murong's last thoughts were. You don't have to think about it too much, when the butterfly Gu is enlightened, the consciousness of the former host will completely disappear from your body, and then you will no longer have any trouble. ”

Zhao Wuwu stared at him, and there was a slight chill in the light in his eyes, "Refresh, if you have something to hide from me, or the kind of major event that will regret it for life, I will definitely not give up with you." ”

Hearing this, the gentle pupils shrank sharply, and some words came to his mouth, but he still didn't dare to spit it out. Some things are too heavy, and some are gone.

Taking a deep breath, Wen nodded his head, and the right should be answered without any follow-up. Seeing Zhao Wuwu drink the decoction in one go, Wen Gu left the room with an empty bowl and never looked back.

"Don't you think this review has always been weird?" Su Xi opened his mouth.

Of course, Zhao Wuwu knew that this review was a little strange, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.

Su Xi continued, "I always feel that the look in my son's eyes has always been wrong, and that kind of look is not hostile, but it seems to have a little love. But this kind of love is not like the kind of Chitose Lord, but it is a bit like the elders in the family, the care and love for the younger generations. ”

"Go on." Zhao Wuwu pursed his lips, tasting the bitter taste in his mouth, but his heart was faintly rippling.

Su Xi nodded, "Childe, the authorities are obsessed with bystanders, and many things are seen more clearly by bystanders." The humble position felt that Wen Gu's care for the son was not as simple as butterfly Gu, but seemed to have other hardships. ”

Zhao Wuwu narrowed his eyes, thinking carefully about the expressions he had reviewed along the way, and some extraordinary care. Zhao Wuwu is not a fool, some things are very clear in his heart, but he didn't say it. It also takes courage to pierce the last layer of window paper.

"Then what do you think he will be for me?" Zhao Wuwu sighed lightly.

Su Xi shook her head, "I don't know about the lowly position, but—" she quipped, "Compared to Childe's father, Wen is more like a father, at least he is doing his best to save Childe, instead of controlling Childe all the time, treating Childe as a puppet and a pawn." Childe may not know how strange the old look was when the Chitose Lord came to Shangshu Mansion. ”

Zhao Wuwu was stunned, "How weird?" ”

Su Xi thought about it carefully, "It's like the cabbage I planted was arched by a pig, and I was irritable and wanted to find someone to settle the account." If it hadn't been for the humble position, it was estimated that he would have to do it with the Chitose Lord. ”

"He was afraid of Dongchang, but he didn't expect to dare to do this?" Zhao Wuwu chuckled twice.

"So, that's where the doubts come in. In terms of a normal way of thinking, Wen has been chased and killed by Dongchang for so many years, and he should be afraid to avoid Chitose Ye, and it is absolutely impossible for him to rush up by himself. But what? Since I met my son, I always look like I can't fight with Chitose Ye, which is really incomprehensible. Su Xi pouted.

Zhao Wuwu rolled his eyes, "That's it, don't talk about this, next time change a better adjective, what is the pig arching the cabbage?" ”

Su Xi was stunned, and immediately smiled, "Yes, yes, it is the inappropriate use of words for lowly duties, and I accidentally said that my son's heart and liver baby became a pig, and I deserve to die for the crime of despicability, and I hope that my son will forgive my sins." ”

"You-" Zhao Wuwu sneered, "I'm too lazy to pay attention to you." ”

Su Xi carefully tucked the corners of the quilt for Zhao Wuwu, "It's okay to be lazy to pay attention to me, after all, you have to protect your body." ”

But I heard someone from outside report that there was an urgent matter.

Hearing this, Su Xi walked out quickly, but after he came back, his face was not very good-looking. Returning to the bed and sitting, Su Xi's eyebrows were slightly downcast, "Childe - it was the matter of the earlier childe who asked him to investigate the lowly position, and now he has a little eyebrows." ”

Zhao Wuwu's eyebrows suddenly raised, "You mean my mother's business?" ”

Su Xi bowed, "Yes! ”

"How?" Zhao Wuwu said.

"My wife was kidnapped, and she left in the direction of the exit, and was finally stopped in a village. No one knows what happened in the village at that time. Su Xi pursed her lips, as if there was something unspeakable.

Zhao Wuwu frowned, "Since it's a village, some of the old people earlier should know the specific situation, right?" ”

"There are no old people." Su Xi whispered.

Zhao Wuwu was stunned, "Why?" ”

"That village has disappeared, completely disappeared from the territory of Daye. Even some county records have been erased from the traces that should be. Su Xi stared at Zhao Wuwu's face with a slightly troubled expression.

"What do you mean?" Zhao Wuwu's heart was suffocated, "You mean, Tu Village?" ”

Su Xi's face was embarrassed, "That village is not big, and it is in a poor and remote place, and the appearance and disappearance of the old village have not attracted much attention from the world. It's just that someone later found out that the people in this village had never appeared, so they looked for it when they were suspicious. Unfortunately, the villages were razed to the ground. ”

This scene seems to be somewhat familiar.

Zhao Wuwu stared at Su Xi for a long time, "What do you want to say?" ”

"I want to say that we have already been to that place." Su Xi paused, "Did Childe remember?" ”

As if something slammed into the position below his left shoulder, Zhao Wuwu looked at Su Xi in front of him in disbelief, "You mean, you mean that, that disappeared village?" ”

"Childe remembered?" Su Xi smiled bitterly, "Is this considered providence?" When we came back from Jinling City, we were ambushed by the people of Wuji Palace there. At that time, I also thought it was very strange, judging from my experience of walking for many years, it was impossible for this Wuji Palace to be so foolproof, and even knew so clearly where we were staying, and dug the tunnel early to wait for us. ”

"It's easy to set up an ambush, but digging a tunnel doesn't happen overnight, and it's really strange to be so prepared. Later, he went to rescue Yunzheng and them, and happened to find a rat hole, and then found the temple where everyone was imprisoned through the tunnel. This tunnel is dark and damp, and moss grows on the stone walls, and looking at the color of the moss is definitely not the work of these two years. ”

"It's been a long time ago. It is conceivable that this Infinite Palace ......"

Zhao Wuwu suddenly raised his hand and motioned for Su Xi to stop.

"You mean, the tunnels have been built for many years?" Zhao Wuwu frowned, "Wuji Palace knows this tunnel? And this village has been abandoned for more than ten years, which means that they can't go to a deserted village for no reason, dig a useless tunnel and keep it for more than ten years. ”

"What does Childe mean is that what happened more than ten years ago is likely to be related to Wuji Palace?" Su Xi was shocked, why didn't she think so much.

Zhao Wuwu shook his head, "It's not just that, just imagine why the butterfly Gu is on me." If my mother happened to be kidnapped into this village at that time, then Murong must have been there, otherwise why would Murong's butterfly Gu be on my body? ”

Su Xi stiffened her back, "That's a coincidence!" ”

"If it was a coincidence before, then it may be intentional after that. Murong must have suffered something, so he knew that his life was short, so he had to pin the butterfly Gu on others. It must have been a very chaotic situation, and my mother must have had a hard time giving birth there. "Zhao Wuwu tried his best to analyze the rough situation at that time," Hui Ling said that it was so chaotic that Zao Wou-Ki was snatched away. ”

"Childe didn't ask Hui Ling, was the specific location at that time?" Su Xi said.

Zhao Wuwu's eyes were gloomy, "I didn't think about it that much at the time, who would have thought that it would be in that place." And that place almost became a nightmare for you and me. Looks like I'll have to do it again in a while. ”

"Childe?" Su Xi was stunned for a moment, "Let's let the lowly post go!" ”

Zhao Wuwu narrowed his eyes, "Suxi, I feel a little uneasy in my heart, I always feel that if I don't go on a trip, I can't dissipate any resentment." ”

"Resentment?" Su Xi frowned, "Could it be Murong's resentment?" ”

Zhao Wuwu rubbed his eyebrows, "Probably, Murong's residual consciousness is in my body, which directly affects my emotions." If this matter is not properly handled, sooner or later it will cause trouble. ”

"Then you have to wait for the son to get married." Su Xi hesitated, "It's just that when the time comes, I'm afraid it will arouse the suspicion of the county lord!" ”

"Mu Yao is also difficult to ride a tiger now, and she suspects that it is better for me to join forces with me and concentrate on dealing with Xiao Rong." Zhao Wuwu wasn't worried about Mu Yao, she was just worried about whether Xiao Rong knew about her daughter's body.

Xiao Rong joined forces with his father, if his father told Xiao Rong the secret about his daughter's body, then if Mu Yao could still pretend to be nothing, I am afraid that he would not be able to pass the level of Xiao Rong's old thief. What Zhao Wuwu was worried about was that Mu Yao would be exposed in front of Xiao Rong.

If you want to bring down King Qi You, the case of Mu Guogong in Fengshakou back then was the key.

Thinking of Xiao Rong, Zhao Wuwu only felt that his brain hurt badly, it was really a headache! What did this ruthless black-faced god do that he didn't even let go of his own cousins?

Is it treason, collusion with the wilderness or Da Yin? Or do you have bad intentions and want to compete for the throne?

But back then, it was clear that King Qi Yu himself didn't want the throne, and pushed Xiao Yan to the throne, why did he like the throne in the end? This seems a bit unreasonable.

What does this Xiao Rong want to do?

Mu Yao didn't know, what did this Xiao Rong want? Sent people to surround the entire courtyard, Mu Yao is now unable to move an inch, so she can only sit on the railing and look at the strict guards through the rain curtain.

"What the hell do you want?" Mu Yao gritted her teeth, holding the whip's hand, her bones and joints gurgling, "I'm not a prisoner, why are you staring at me like this?" ”

The leader saluted, "On the orders of the prince, take good care of the county lord." In a few days, it will be the wedding of the county lord, and the servants will not dare to slack off, lest there be complications. Please also ask the county lord to be calm and not impatient, don't make it difficult for the minions. ”

"Hard to do?" As soon as Mu Yao whipped over, there was a bloody mark on the man's face, "You dog minions, you dare to lock up the county master, it's just tired and crooked!" I've been in Shucheng for so many years, and no one dares to talk to me like this! ”

"Enough!" A low shout came slowly accompanied by Xiao Rong's steady footsteps.

The people saluted and hurriedly withdrew.

The rain was pouring outside.

In the corridor, Mu Yao looked up at Xiao Rong in front of her fearlessly.

Xiao Rong's face was a little pale, and he coughed lightly and said, "Yao'er, don't mess around, go back to the room and rest!" ”

"Is that the room? That's the cage my uncle arranged for me, and I'm not a bird, why do you have to keep me? Mu Yao was unwilling, but in front of Xiao Rong, she couldn't be presumptuous. Her image is defined as a brutal county lord, but she also has to be measured in addition to being brutal.

Too much is boring and impatient.

But if you are too forbearing, it will arouse Xiao Rong's suspicion.

"It's raining outside, where do you want to go?" Xiao Rong asked patiently.

Mu Yao pursed her lips and casually threw the whip to Huo Huo on the side, Huo Huo withdrew knowingly, and looked at his county lord "acting" to pass the test. I was beating a drum in my heart, but don't anger the prince, otherwise I don't know what kind of chaos will happen.

"I just don't like to be in one place for too long, I like to be free outside." Mu Yao sat down, "It's dark in this room, what's so good?" Rao is uncle's Qi Yu Palace, and now I'm tired of shopping, and I really can't be interested. ”

"Is it possible, you have to go to the Qinglou kiln to be interested?" Xiao Rong coughed lightly.

Mu Yao was stunned for a moment, and appropriately changed the conversation, "Uncle is sick?" ”

Xiao Rong waved his hand, but his face was terribly pale, "It's okay, it's inevitable that the old disease will be committed when it rains." Then he said, "If you really want to go out, you can let Hu Qing accompany you, but don't act recklessly, go early and return early!" ”

Hearing this, Mu Yao was stunned for a long time, "Uncle means that you can let Yao'er go out to play?" ”

"The son is too big to be the mother, and the woman is not the middle, what else can I do?" Xiao Rong looked at her a little helplessly, with a hint of distress on his pale face, "Don't make trouble, remember that this is the capital." Also, don't go to those places in Qinglou again, so as not to ruin your reputation as the county lord of Fengyang, and then it will be troublesome. ”

"Yes!" Mu Yao was ecstatic, but she was secretly drumming in her heart.

This Xiao Rong is so generous, and he doesn't know what he is planning, could it be that he wants to find some traces from himself? Something about Yao Chi being killed? See who she's in touch with? Do you really know the truth about the battle at Fengshakou back then?

Thinking of this, Mu Yao clenched her fists in her sleeves slightly, and there was still a harmless smile on her face.

Mu Yao left Qi You's palace casually, and Hu Qing followed her all the time, saying that she was accompanying her for protection, but in fact, it was surveillance. However, as long as she can get out of Qi You's palace, Mu Yao is not afraid that she won't be able to get rid of Hu Qing.

The unruly county lord - you have to have your own brutal temper, if the temper is too good, is it still her Mu Yao?

Hu Qing was very careful, did not speak, did not squint, and all his attention fell on Mu Yao. The prince has instructed that no matter what, the county lord must not be allowed to make any mistakes.

The rain was pouring down. The people on the street walked in a hurry, supported by oil-paper umbrellas, and horse-drawn carriages passed by the street.

Huo Huo suddenly screamed, "County Lord, look, your favorite rock sugar gourd!" After speaking, a puff of smoke ran towards the storefront not far away, and the oil-paper umbrella rowed past Hu Qing, just right to cover Hu Qing's sight.

When Hu Qing suddenly came back to his senses, there was no trace of Mu Yao behind him. In this vast group of umbrellas, only the rain splashes, where is the figure of the county lord. Only not far away, a horse-drawn carriage galloped away.
