188. The Wounded Meng Jinnan
Mama Zhang and Mama Li were extremely disappointed when they saw her like this. Now that Feng Yunlei is gone, there is no need for them to continue to stay here and watch Feng Rongxi cocoon himself.
The two glanced at each other and instantly understood the message conveyed by each other's eyes. Since then, Feng Rongxi has been crying and laughing in the house every day, blaming himself and Wu Muyun from time to time, like crazy.
*
Bursts of cold wind swept up the dust, and the fog was so thick that I couldn't see the way ahead. Mo Qiantao was wearing a palace dress, covering her mouth and nose with a layer of gauze, squinting her eyes, and moving forward with difficulty.
There were several more at her meeting, with a cartload full of goods placed on them, sealed tightly with boxes. Further on there were the guards in a neat row, the leading ones sitting on their horses against the wind and sand, and the rest were either driving the horses or walking in a wooden way.
This walk is a day, after nightfall, the wind and sand suddenly stopped, the sky full of stars like hanging night pearls, flashing colorful light, people feel in the galaxy, in this boundless sky, human beings are too small, but a drop in the ocean.
"Well, let's have something to eat." A palace maid who was born white sat next to Mo Qiantao and handed her a dry steamed bun.
She reached out and took it, smiling and thanking her.
"Are you Wu Muyun's person?"
The palace maid was slightly stunned, she didn't expect her to find out so quickly, and then said, "The slave maid Canhua has seen the county lady."
She waved her hand, "No need to be polite. ”
"The slave knows that Mrs. is eager to save her husband, but when she arrives in Xun Kingdom, she is not as good as in Mu Yuan, everything has to be done according to her ability, otherwise it will cause a big mess. Troublesome. Seeing that she didn't mind that she was covered in dust, sitting on the ground, eating dry steamed buns, Canhua didn't regard her as an ordinary delicate Miss Jiao, and secretly admired her courage in defying difficulties.
"I understand, I'm not going to get you in trouble." Mo Qiantao nodded, knowing that a slight mistake would bring harm to the entire Mu Yuan, although she wanted to save Xia Chunfeng, she also had to take into account the others.
"I'm afraid it's going to rain." Canhua looked up at the starry sky.
Mo Qiantao was stunned and didn't take it seriously, otherwise, it rained heavily after a while.
The two of them went into the tent together and sat down around the fire. The sound of dry wood popping and the sound of falling rain like beans were heard.
"Tomorrow will be colder again, Madame must take care of herself, and it will soon be snowing." Canhua pounced on the futon and went in.
Mo Qiantao was also shivering with cold, warmed her hands and feet in front of the bonfire, and also got into the quilt and left.
In the following days, she was busy walking every day, and she even needed help until her legs were numb. But in such a team, who cares about the life or death of a palace maid, she can walk and go, and if she can't walk, she will be left behind by the team, and in the end there is only one way to die.
Fortunately, Canhua helped all the way, otherwise she would not have been able to go to Xun Country by herself.
Looking at the city gate opened in the distance, Mo Qiantao breathed a sigh of relief, and finally had the time to rest and drink tea.
Mincheng, the capital of Xun Kingdom, the customs here are very strong, the girls go in groups of three or five, they are gorgeously dressed, the waist is plump, and the figure is concave and convex. There is a world of difference from Mu Yuan's subtlety.
These lively girls made the guards look straight, and they all said that it would be beautiful if they could marry a concubine and go back.
After a group of people stayed at the post station for a day, they were searched by the soldiers of Xun State and sent to the imperial city.
The guards wore white cloth shirts and white turbans, neatly arranged, holding spears in their hands and looking solemn. The palace maid is dressed in pink, her posture is graceful, and her gestures are the unique style of Xunguo women.
When they first arrived, Mu Yuan's soldiers were all stupid, how could they have seen such a beautiful scenery, the woman was in front, and their thoughts were also hooked. The palace maids were bold, the corners of their eyes and eyebrows exuded infinite style, and they smiled lightly, these men couldn't even walk.
The goods they had brought were distributed to the various palaces, and when they had finished counting, it was time for lunch, and a group of people gathered together and ate a meal that was not very delicious.
Mo Qiantao noticed that since they entered the palace, they have been guarded by a group of guards in white shirts at all times. It seems that under this calm surface, there is already a turbulent undercurrent.
"They are so heavily guarded, they must have been on guard against us, and it is estimated that they will not let us stay for long, madam, you have to be careful." Canhua Tsai reminded her carefully in her ear.
She looked around and nodded.
Before leaving, she must find out where Xia Chunfeng is imprisoned. She set her eyes on the leading soldier and had something else in mind.
A mighty procession entered Miyagi, and it was impossible not to leave a trace. Mo Qiantao lowered her head, and her eyes kept dripping.
The night was dark, there was no light and no spark.
Mo Qiantao was lying on the bed, looking at the dark night sky, and suddenly saw a bright light flashing like a meteor. She and Canhua bounced out of bed, their eyes locked on the window. At this time, there was a chaotic footstep in my ears from far to near, and clusters of firelight flickered, flickering and dimming.
There was chaos right now, maybe she could find something, she opened the door despite Canhua's resistance, and a figure with the smell of blood immediately got in.
Mo Qiantao didn't have time to react, so she was held to her neck with a dagger.
"Don't make a sound."
A man's voice, he was breathing rapidly, and it seemed that he was not lightly injured.
Canhua confronted the man in the dark, and the knife in the man's hand was closer to Mo Qiantao's neck. A cold touch swept through it, and the warm liquid slowly flowed out.
"You ......" Mo Qiantao couldn't help but tilt her head, afraid that he would go a little deeper if he wasn't careful.
"Don't!" Canhua lowered her voice and reminded him, "She doesn't know martial arts, if you kill her, you just leave evidence of the crime, no one can get any benefits, and you don't want to get out of here." ”
When the man heard this, he understood, "You are from Xunguo?" With that, he fell to the side, gasping for breath.
It seems that he is no longer able to resist.
Canhua grabbed the stunned Mo Qiantao, and was about to shout, but Mo Qiantao covered her mouth, "At this time, in someone else's territory, we can't tell even if we are full of mouths, and if we don't do it, we fell for the tricks of others and were served in a pot." ”
Canhua stiffened, then walked over to the man to investigate the injuries and uncovered the gauze from his face. Mo Qiantao saw his face clearly through the flickering light.
There is no doubt that it is Meng Jinnan.
"Why are you here? And why was it hurt? Mo Qiantao snatched the dagger from his hand and pressed it against his neck and asked.
He smiled weakly, knowing that Mo Qiantao didn't dare to kill himself, so he simply closed his eyes and said nothing.
"You are injured now, if you don't treat it in time, I'm afraid you will have to fall ill if you don't die. You have to think about it. "Mo Qiantao really didn't dare to kill him, if he was left alone and left to fend for himself, he would also die.
"Knowing too much won't do you any good." Meng Jinnan reminded.
Mo Qiantao felt that there seemed to be a little bit of truth, "What about Xia Chunfeng?" Where was he imprisoned? ”
"Are you here to make trouble?" Meng Jinnan raised his eyes, and his stunned eyes were fleeting.
She blinked, confused, "What do you mean?" ”
"Looks like you don't know anything." As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Chanhua. The implication is very obvious, he has something that is inconvenient for a third party to know. Mo Qiantao squinted and probed for a while, not sure if he wanted to branch Canhua so that he could pinch his soft persimmon.
"You're not comfortable with me?" Meng Jinnan's eyes were covered with a layer of gloom, and the corners of his mouth were faintly smiling.
Another flash of fire flashed and shone on Meng Jinnan's pale lips and bloodied abdomen. Sent by the gods, Mo Qiantao tore the bed curtain and wrapped it around the injured position to stop the bleeding for him.
Meng Jinnan was stunned, not understanding why she did this......
For a moment, it was uncertain whether she had really forgotten herself, or if she had been in disguise from beginning to end.
"Qin Rao......" he was stunned and called a name that was very unfamiliar to Mo Qiantao.
Mo Qiantao raised her eyebrows, and said tentatively with anxiety: "Qin Rao? The woman who looks like me? We...... Is it really similar? ”
He withdrew his gaze from Mo Qiantao, he didn't understand why there was such a big difference between the front and back of the same person, and even his temperament had changed. If Meng Qinrao faced the current situation, it is estimated that she would have been scared to death by crying and shouting her mother.
Meng Jinnan was silent.
"You should have an accomplice, right? Where are they? Canhua leaned on the entrance of the bed and poked out.
This made Meng Jinnan immediately alert, "Who are you?" Why is it here? ”
Canhua smiled and said tentatively: "I am specifically protecting Mrs. County, seeing that you and Mrs. are acquainted, it should not be a personal motive."
His face froze, and he became dull again.
"What does Madame think should be done? Canhua looked up and asked.
Mo Qiantao was in a somewhat complicated mood, handing him over would definitely be a dead end, and he might not be able to get out of it......
"Anyway, he is injured and can't escape, so it's up to his accomplices to find him." Mo Qiantao turned around and sat down in a chair and stopped looking at him.
Meng Jinnan chuckled in his heart and looked at her with his spare eyes. He almost folded here, he couldn't let his accomplices fold too, he had to find a way to get out safely.
"Don't you want to know where Xia Chunfeng is? Send me away and I'll tell you. Meng Jinnan threw out the bait.
"Okay!" Mo Qiantao only waited for his words, she looked outside a few more times, and saw that the chaotic firelight had gradually faded away, and she was immediately relieved.
"Tell me first, where is my father-in-law?" She squatted down and looked at him with a straight face, "If you dare to lie to me......" Mo Qiantao blinked, even if he really deceived himself, and the person slipped away, how could he retaliate? She pondered over the question.
