Chapter Twenty-Six: The Pearls Sink and the Jade Breaks

This time I came to Shu in just three months, and the bandits have been eliminated, and I can finally return to Shangyang City, but... But the whereabouts of the prince are unknown.

Yunqi couldn't sit still at this time, and looked up to see the carrier pigeon raised by the prince standing in front of the window. Could it be that something happened in Shangyang City, Yunqi hurriedly stepped forward to take out the letter.

"Si Muyu poisoned Si Yue and was sentenced to be beheaded three days later" The shocking words on the letter made Yunqi even more like an ant on a hot pot. It takes a day for the carrier pigeon to fly here, and the time is less than two days.

Now that the prince is gone, how can it be good. "You, follow me into the mountains to find the prince!" Yun Qi hurriedly led a team of men and horses into the mountain. But to no avail, when he was about to descend the mountain, he saw smoke rising from the deep forest in the distance.

The bandits in this mountain have been exterminated, how can there be cooking smoke? Isn't there still a remnant of the party? Yun Qi hurriedly led the men and horses to follow the direction of the cooking smoke, and there was a bamboo house in the deep forest.

Yunqi hurriedly surrounded the hut and guarded it quietly.

I saw that the yard was full of flowers and plants, and there were many bamboo baskets drying some things. At this moment, a woman came out of the house, looking about seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in linen clothes. Looking not like a bandit, Yunqi motioned to his guards to wait, and only stepped forward.

The woman saw Yunqi pick up the axe on the side and looked at him vigilantly. "Girl, I am an officer and soldier in the city, I don't know why the girl lives in this mountain forest?" Yunqi walked up to the girl and revealed her identity.

The girl looked around at Yunqi and dressed up before letting down her vigilance, "My brother used to work in the White Tiger Village, and I lived here with him at that time. ”

In this way, she is the family of the bandit, and Yun Qi has murderous intent. "Official, my brother is a doctor in the village, and he fell off the cliff two years ago and died, and I have nothing to do with the White Tiger Village." Seeing Yunqi's expression, the woman hurriedly explained.

"Yunqi!" At this moment, a muffled voice came from inside the room. Yunqi vaguely heard someone calling him, "Girl, is there anyone else in your house?" ”

I saw the woman shake her head again and again and said, "No, no, I am the only one living here." ”

At this time, another sound came from the house. Yunqi heard it this time, and ran into the house. I saw Wei Wenyan fall to the ground with a pale face, "Lord Wang! Yun Qi hurriedly helped him up.

This prince turned out to be the prince, could he be the prince Mu in the city, the woman hurriedly stepped forward to check on Wei Wenyan's situation. The knife wound on his leg was cracked open again, and blood was oozing out.

"Girl, please forgive me if I have any offense. I wonder what my son-in-law's situation is at this time? Yunqi asked anxiously.

"Don't worry, it's okay, you can recover after a few days of rest." The woman hesitated for a moment and then said apologetically: "I didn't know that the official was familiar with this son, so I lied to you." ”

Wei Wenyan opened his lips and said, "I haven't thanked the girl for saving her." ”

The woman waved her hand and said, "Childe is polite, Childe fell at the door of my house, just a gesture." ”

Wei Wenyan no longer spoke politely to her, but Yunqi's eyes were erratic and very abnormal, so he asked, "Yunqi, but what happened in the army?" Yunqi became even more nervous when he asked this. Wei Wenyan glanced at the woman.

"I'll go out first." When the woman saw this, she went out and closed the door.

"Lord Wang, the trouble of the bandits has been solved, and there is nothing to do in the army." Yunqi tried to keep his tone flat. The prince appeared and was seriously injured, if he knew about Miss Si, I am afraid that he would return to Shangyang City regardless of his own safety.

Wei Wenyan said sharply: "That's what happened to Shangyang City, say!" ”

Knowing that he couldn't hide it, Yunqi had no choice but to tell him about Si Muyu. Wei Wenyan's already pale face turned a little pale at this time, and the green tendons on his forehead rose. Struggling to get up from the bed: "Go back to Shangyang City!" ”

"Lord Wang, your body is so unsuitable for you to be tired of driving and driving. Besides, even if you return to the city, Miss Si has already been beheaded. Otherwise, you won't be able to protect her from Your Majesty! Yun Qi hurriedly stopped Wei Wenyan and said.

Wei Wenyan said calmly: "This time the bandit has been solved, my father will definitely reward me, and I will beg my father to spare her life, and I will have my own way to save her in the future." ”

"It will take three days to rush back to Shangyang City from here, and it will be beheaded in two days, how can I catch up." Yunqi said anxiously.

Wei Wenyan roared angrily: "If you can't catch up, you have to catch up, if she dies, I will never survive." "Didn't you say that you would wait for me, just half a year, and now it's only been three months. Wei Wenyan's eyes were full of bloodshot at this time, faintly glowing with water.

Yunqi knew that he couldn't persuade him, so he bent down and picked him up on his back, and walked out with his sword. Seeing this, the woman hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Are you leaving?" Do you want to go back to Shangyang City? ”

"The girl's grace to save each other is unforgettable, but I am in a hurry to say goodbye in advance, Yunqi!" Wei Wenyan said in a deep voice.

Yunqi took out his purse from his arms, "Girl, be careful, please accept it." He handed her a jade pendant on his waist, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I didn't bring too much silver taels when I went out in a hurry, this jade pendant is worth some money." ”

The woman didn't accept Yunqi's things, and said softly: "It's not enough to worry about it, but I have a request." ”

"Girl, please speak!" Wei Wenyan opened his lips and said.

The woman hesitated for a moment and said timidly: "I want to go to Shangyang City with you, I heard that Shangyang City is very prosperous, and I have never had the opportunity to go." Besides, I know a little bit about medicine, and I can take care of my son on the road. ”

Wei Wenyan nodded, and Yun Qi opened his lips and said, "That girl, please pack your luggage, and we will leave immediately." ”

Not long after the woman entered the house, she packed her bags and said breathlessly, "Let's go!" ”

After going down the mountain, he hurriedly said goodbye to Jing Zhaoyin in the city, and got on the carriage and rushed to Shangyang City. It took only one and a half days to arrive at the three-day drive, and the sky was just clear and we arrived at Shangyang City.

As soon as Wei Wenyan entered the palace, he changed into court clothes, and when he was about to enter the palace, the guards came to report. "Miss Si was given Aya last night, and it's gone."

"How could it be! How could it be! Didn't you say that he would be beheaded three days later? Wei Wenyan roared angrily, his eyes were completely red at this time, and he was covered with murderous intent.

"Because of the princess's intercession, the emperor left the whole body of Miss Si, but last night Princess Changning entered the palace and told His Majesty that she was afraid of long nights and dreams, so she was quietly executed last night." The guard told everything about it.

Wei Changning, Wei Changning, it's her every time! Wei Wenyan was furious, trembling his lips and said, "What about the corpse? ”

The guard hurriedly replied: "The body should still be on death row at this time, and no outsiders know about the early execution, so the body has not been disposed of." ”

At this time, a faint hope ignited in Wei Wenyan's heart, no, she won't die, she said she would wait for me. "Go to death row!" The sound was like dead silence.

"Miscellaneous people, etc., are not allowed to trespass!" Since Wei Wenyan had been absent from the palace for a long time, those guards didn't recognize him. I saw Wei Wenyan glaring at them with red eyes, and the guard was obviously frightened, but he still stopped him.

Yunqi took out the jade pendant in his arms: "Bold!" Prince Mu also dared to stop him, get out of the way! The two guards hurriedly knelt down and said, "I have seen Prince Mu in my humble position. ”

Yunqi said in a deep voice: "We are going to see Si Muyu of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion and lead the way!" The guard hurriedly led the way, opened the cell door, and said in a trembling voice, "This Simuyu was given to death last night, but she does not want to be hanged. He killed himself with a short sword, and that was lying inside. ”

"Get down!" Wei Wenyan said sharply, and the guard hurriedly pulled the jailer at the door and ran into the distance.

Wei Wenyan turned the corpse over, only to see a deep and long blood mark on her neck, and Wei Wenyan trembled and pulled her hair away.

The face in front of him was really Si Muyu, and he suddenly sat down on the ground, shaking his head in disbelief. "No!" he whispered. ”

After trying to stabilize his emotions, he gently lifted the sleeve of her left hand, only to see that it was not wearing anything. Wei Wenyan hurriedly lifted the sleeve on her right side again, which was also empty.
