16. In lies

"Mo Feng he...... Why? Xia Ling was puzzled.

"Do you really want to know?"

Xia Ling nodded, and she propped up the edge of the bed with one hand, trying to keep her body straight.

"You, Mo Feng and Qiu Yan grew up together. Mo Feng is the orphan of the once prosperous Mo family, and it is rumored that the Mo family sacrificed in order to defend against foreign enemies. But the fact is that our mother and the Qiu family eradicated the Mo family together, because the Mo family has a foreign enemy, and the evidence is conclusive. Those announced to the public are also because they are afraid of the Mo family's hundreds of years of togetherness, leaving them some affection. But at that time, Mo Feng was only three or four years old, which was about the same age as you were at that time, and his mother relented and took him home alive and treated him as if he were her own son. ”

Xia Ling's fingertips turned white, his eyes saw that Ye Ling was completely devoid, and tears slowly fell from the corners of his eyes: "You mean, Mo Feng did this to take revenge......

Ye Ling shook his head: "Maybe it is, maybe it isn't." Because the reason why Mo Feng copied Qiu Yan's house two years ago was also to communicate with foreign enemies and commit treason...... Just except for this ......"

"Did heβ€”What else did he?" Every word of her words seemed to be knotted.

"There's one more thing I think you'll know sooner or later...... Mother, it was Mo Feng who killed it with his own hands. ”

......

I don't know if anyone can understand Xia Ling's feelings now, as if she was reading a book, but the author suddenly told her that the person she loved the most was actually the bad guy who killed her whole family and used her to rise to a high position.

The world should have laughed at her love, but fortunately, she hadn't revealed it yet, hadn't said it to him yet.

"Autumn Flame ......"

After Ye Ling left, Xia Ling kept repeating the name.

"Mo Feng, what the hell did you marry me for?"

The sense of loss in her heart had completely disrupted her grip on herself. If what Ye Ling said is true, then can she understand that Mo Feng married her for power and status. And he has been hiding it from himself, also because he is afraid that she will leave him and return to Qiu Yan after she knows the truth.

She also thought about it, maybe Ye Ling deceived her? But her intuition always had a relentless premonition that all of this was true.

She remembered that Ming Cui had said that in the past, she had someone she liked, but not Mo Feng. Is the person she said Qiu Yan? The goddess fell asleep two years ago, and Mo Feng led people to raid the Qiu family, and Qiu Yan was imprisoned two years ago. What is the connection between these things?

But is Mo Feng really just a tool of power for himself? Her hand unconsciously touched her lips. Is that kind of hot kiss really something that anyone can do?

For the first time, she felt at a loss, because in this world, if Mo Feng was a person she couldn't rely on, then who could she trust?

She didn't sleep that night. She felt that she had changed, and she had become more and more devoted to Ye Ling's identity. But maybe this is fate, she can't sit idly by and even empathize with everything about Ye Ling.

She also wanted to wait for her to come back and be with Mo Feng in her place. She also wants to erase those bumps in life for her. Now that I think about it, how ridiculous this is.

The rays of the rising sun are always soft and soft. Xia Ling rubbed her slightly tired eyes and took a few deep breaths. She decided to find out this Qiu Yan herself and ask him about it.

She asked the maid who had been cleaning at the door, only to know that after chatting with her yesterday, Ye Ling left. She made her intentions clear and asked the maid to take her to Mofeng.

Sure enough, as Ye Ling said, Mo Feng was very good, and he was arranged to take care of him in another hospital. As soon as he saw Xia Ling, the big burden in Mo Feng's heart seemed to be put down instantly, and he looked left and right on Xia Ling's body.

"It's okay, did they hurt you?"

Xia Ling looked at Mo Feng, and a sour feeling rose in her heart: "I'm fine, let's go home." ”

Hearing this, Mo Feng stared at Xia Ling with some hesitation, and asked tentatively: "Have you talked to Ye Ling?" ”

"Yes, but she won't come with me. Said that I will only see you on the battlefield in the future. Xia Ling's voice was very low, but it still naturally revealed a sense of loss and sadness.

Mo Feng patted her on the shoulder: "I understand your feelings, but we can't leave yet." ”

Xia Ling raised her eyes and looked at him suspiciously.

"The plague is raging in the city, and I suspect they are experimenting with drugs. I'll have to find out before I can go. ”

Hearing Mo Feng say this, Xia Ling suddenly remembered the people he had met when he first arrived here. There have been so many things in the past two days that she forgot to ask Ye Ling about it.

"By the way, how did I get to Ye Ling?"

Mo Feng looked at Xia Ling's eyes, and his heart moved. Somehow, he felt that Xia Ling was different from before.

"It's Ye Ling's subordinates who kidnapped you to me."

"Oh." Xia Ling nodded. "Where do you want to start with the plague?"

"I went out to inquire yesterday and found that several villages on the border were plagued frequently, and to be precise, they were all poisoned."

"Poisoned?"

"Well, when I examined the deceased, they looked like they had been poisoned. So I'm guessing that the plague is just a cover-up. ”

"Who would put so much effort into poisoning these innocent people?" Xia Ling thought to herself, does this matter have anything to do with Ye Ling.

Fortunately, there are not many villages on the border, and most of them are homeless people who often travel between unpatriotic and transoceanic countries. They did not have a permanent settlement, so they moved from place to place as the weather changed.

They came to the nearest village, but it was clear that the plague had struck it, leaving only a few people behind.

Mo Feng and Xia Ling inquired door to door, and found that the life of the villagers here was no different from normal, and they all said that there was an epidemic overnight inexplicably, and then they were picked up by a group of officers and soldiers. And most of the residents here don't even know that their loved ones have left, and they are still waiting and looking forward to it.

"Girl, are you cured?" At this moment, a woman in her forties and fifties carried a basket and rushed forward to grab Xia Ling with a happy face.

"Sick? Auntie, I don't recognize you. Xia Ling shook her head blankly.

"You don't remember me? That day I was washing clothes by the brook, and I saw you shivering and sleeping on the shore. I'll send you to the mountainside when you wake up. ”

Mo Feng's hand silently stopped Xia Ling, who was about to explain: "Auntie, this friend of mine has been frail and sickly since he was a child, and he lost his memory after a serious illness a while ago, so he must not remember you." Now I am entrusted by her family to take her to heal again, but I don't have a good sense of direction and get lost. Do you know where you dropped her off last time? ”

The aunt looked at Xia Ling, and her eyes showed pity. "Poor child. Last time, I only sent you to the mountainside of Yuhua Mountain, which is more than fifty miles away, and was picked up by another friend of yours. You said the place of treatment was at the hilltop villa. ”

This news is really like a timely rain, and it takes no effort to get it. But it also confirmed the worry in Xia Ling's heart, this matter is inseparable from Ye Ling, and it is by no means simple.

Just when Xia Ling was full of thoughts, Mo Feng suddenly changed his mind: "Ling'er, let's go back to Oceanwide Country first." ”

His instincts told him that the trip was dangerous, and he didn't want to put her in any more danger.

"I ...... I want to go with you. ”

Xia Ling took Mo Feng's hand, and for a moment she felt a trace of fear. She was always afraid that the man in front of her had something else to hide from her.

Xia Ling's abnormal behavior made Mo Feng slightly startled, he opened his mouth, and those words of refusal still did not come out. Sighing slightly, he gently rubbed the top of her hair with his hand.

"Okay, let's go together."

The name Yuhua Mountain is very ordinary, but the mountain is still very majestic and peculiar. It is said to be peculiar, but in fact, it breaks Xia Ling's consistent perception of mountains.

The mountain is made up of dense streams of water that flow down in dense streams, and between each section of the water, there is only room for one person to walk.

"There is a legend in Yuhua Mountain. In ancient times, there was a scholar named Yuhua, who fell in love with the princess of the Sea Clan by chance. But in those years, there was a drought among the people, and there was a shortage of water everywhere, so the commander at that time ordered the whole clan to arrest the princess. Because the princess's heart is a spring, and if she gets this spring, the whole country will no longer be short of water. In a devastating fire, in order to avoid pursuit, the scholar climbed the mountain day and night with the dying princess, and finally turned into dust with the princess and disappeared into the world. And this mountain has also been crisscrossed by streams since that time, and it has become a mountain of water. It has also become a veritable spring mountain. ”

Mo Feng gently told Xia Ling this story in his ear, and his hand held Xia Ling tightly, not daring to let go at all.

"What a wretched couple...... Mo Feng, if you were that scholar, would you abandon the world for the sake of the princess? ”

Mo Feng's steps paused: "If I say yes, do you believe it?" ”

Xia Ling smiled faintly and did not answer Mo Feng's question. If it had been before, she might have been moved by his words, and she would have been entangled in the fact that he didn't say it to herself. But now, everything doesn't matter. He didn't even know what to do with him.

"What about you? Will you give up everything for love? ”

Xia Ling raised her eyes to look at him in some surprise, Mo Feng turned her back to her, she couldn't see his expression, and she couldn't figure out what he meant.

"Once upon a time, wouldn't I?"

"In the past, you could do whatever it took for the sake of all the people of the Oceanwide Country."

Xia Ling smiled: "Really, can even the person you love the most be killed?" ”

Mo Feng's steps suddenly stopped, and he turned to look at Xia Ling, the pain in his eyebrows and eyes was clear.

"Ling'er, tell me, what did Ye Ling tell you."

"Are you scared?"

"I just don't want you to take it out of context and have some misunderstanding."

"Then you'll tell me everything!"

Xia Ling's eyes widened, and her emotions began to get a little excited. But Mo Feng just looked at her, maybe no one knew what he was struggling at this time, he couldn't refute everything he had done, and he didn't want to put everything on the woman in front of him again.

"Let's go. What you want to know, you'll remember for yourself. ”
