Chapter 132 Muddy the waters
"Close the door!" An Ruomu subconsciously shouted.
The shout was accompanied by a slight creak, followed by the sound of the door crashing and the natural light being gone.
Wei Qi stood there with a fireball in his hand, his face expressionless.
Mu Qing stepped casually, wanting to pass by him, but without thinking about it, he was pulled back by An Ruomu.
"An Protector, you have doubts, I can understand that." Wei Qi's gaze stayed on Mu Qing, "But she ......"
"Do me a favor and tie her up with a chain around my waist." An Ruomu knew very well what Wei Qi meant.
Wei Qi did as he was told, and quickly tied Mu Qing's hands in front of him, and grabbed the end of the iron chain in his hands.
An Ruomu let go of Mu Qing and shook his head while kneading his numb right hand.
"In this case, how inconvenient it is for you to run with me." Mu Qing pursed her lips slightly, "Besides, it's too eye-catching, and you won't be able to run far before you will be discovered." β
An Ruomu didn't want to hear her say a word, so he took out a small wooden ball and glanced at Wei Qi.
Wei Qi understood and pinched Mu Qing's cheeks hard.
Mu Qing was forced to open her mouth and was forced to take a small wooden ball in her mouth.
"Don't talk too much, we're not so easy to spot." An Ruomu said with a cold face.
"An Protector, except for His Royal Highness Qin Huang, I am not loyal to anyone else, including Your Majesty. Whether you believe it or not, Ji Bingren is outside, there is only one way here. Wei Qi handed the chain to An Ruomu.
An Ruomu answered: "She saw that I was unable to move, so she thought that now was a perfect opportunity to separate us and get rid of me." Originally, I wanted to save some face for her, but I was afraid that the chain would hurt the puppet, so I didn't do it for a long time, but now it seems that it should really be tied up from the beginning, and it has to be tied strongly. β
Wei Qi smiled and didn't say anything.
An Ruomu glared at Mu Qing, and then said to Wei Qi: "I'm not sure if you will really take me to the beach, but at least, you don't want her to run away - even if it is handed over to Qin Shan or Ji Bingren, I will be with her, unless, I die."
Wei Qi knew that he couldn't be believed just by saying it, so he didn't open his mouth and turned around to lead the way.
Without Mu Qing's chatter, there was no other sound in the entire tunnel except for the sound of breathing and footsteps.
This kind of silence lasted for a long time, so long that An Ruomu thought that he really fell in love with Wei Qi's Tao and would stay here forever.
And Wei Qi seemed to know An Ruomu's thoughts, and suddenly stopped: "An Protector, take a rest, it's almost dawn." We're going to have to walk another day before we can get out of town. β
"The tunnels lead directly to the outside of the city?" An Ruomu didn't expect this escape to go so smoothly.
Wei Qi said "um": "Out of the city, let's go to the border first, the more people go there, the less easy it is to be found, and then follow the border line to the sea."
And when he had finished speaking, he was silent again, but took out the dry food and water and divided it, and went to the side alone to close his eyes and recuperate.
An Ruomu sat down against the wall, he didn't have much appetite, he just drank a few sips of water, his mind was full of chaos, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Mu Qing leaned over and rubbed An Ruomu's arm with her head, revealing a flattering smile.
By now, An Ruomu's anger has disappeared for the most part, although she is still quite dissatisfied with Mu Qing's repeated tricks and harming people, but she can't help but think of the situation when the two first met, as well as the lingering familiar feeling that has been lingering, and she will also think that the reason why she has become like this is because she swallowed Xia Yuanshan's soul without knowing it, and it is not because of her nature.
As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but be a little soft-hearted, so he was busy not starting, and he didn't look at Mu Qing.
Mu Qing was persevering, not only rubbing her head, but also using her elbows, if An Ruomu intended to leave, she would follow her like a shadow, and immediately stick to it.
"You're not hungry or thirsty, what are you going to do?" An Ruomu made an impatient look.
Mu Qing lowered her head slightly, raised her eyes, pitiful.
An Ruomu's whole heart began to tremble, and he was so trembling that he had to close his eyes and shrink into a darker corner.
Mu Qing stopped following and maintained her posture still.
An Ruomu could feel that burning gaze, and it was really like sitting on pins and needles.
"An protector, let Miss Muqing rest for a while." Wei Qi can be regarded as relieving him, "The wooden ball has been held for a long time, and I am afraid that it will not be easy to breathe." β
An Ruomu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, took a piece of soft leather and put it on the palm of his hand, stretched it out to Mu Qing's mouth, and helped her take out the wooden ball.
Mu Qing knew each other quite well, only smiled and thanked him, and said nothing.
There was no sun, moon and stars in the tunnel, only Wei Qi's fireball, which made people lose the concept of time.
An Ruomu hadn't slept peacefully for a long time, and he couldn't sleep well on the way to find Mu Qing. Now, the fire flickered and dimmed, and it was quiet everywhere, and sleepiness hit him like a tide, he secretly pinched his thigh, pinched and sobered up, but after a few minutes, he was confused again.
Mu Qing was beside her, looking at An Ruomu for a moment; Wei Qi was in another shadow, looking at Mu Qing for a moment.
"Lord Wei Qi, don't worry, I can't run, and you won't listen to me anymore." Mu Qing lit up her hands bound by iron chains.
"Think about it with Xia Yuanshan's brain, can it really be useful to burn the ghost lamp?" Wei Qi shrunk the fireball a bit.
"The Burning Lamp is to induce the dead, I am a living soul, I can't use it." Mu Qing fiddled with the hanging chains.
"Get a few more puppeteers to help, maybe you can give it a try." Wei Qi said slowly.
Mu Qing stopped and stared at Wei Qi's vague face.
Because of the three words "burning the ghost lamp", An Ruomu woke up. He had heard of this thing and knew that it was a treasure of the Demon Fox Clan, but he never expected to be able to connect it with Mu Qing.
"Lord Wei Qi, burn the ghost lamp?" He wanted to know more about it.
"I think it's incredible, too." Wei Qi turned his angle, and the whole person was in the firelight, "It's Miss Muqing who said it." β
An Ruomu looked at Mu Qing againβthe burning lamp, which had never been mentioned.
"Lord Wei Qi doesn't know where to hear the rumors, they can't be trusted." Mu Qing just didn't admit it.
"Even His Royal Highness Zikou can know that there is a puppeteer in the palace, let alone His Royal Highness Qin Huang." Wei Qi was always unhurried, "Yes, Mrs. Yan hid it very well before, and she didn't think about her, but as soon as you appeared, she was in a hurry, and she was exposed." That shadow snake made such a big noise, who wouldn't notice it? I dare say I'm not the only one who knows that the lantern can be useful. β
"You understand, you understand." An Ruomu thought of something, Huo Di jumped up, "Cicada may have gone to the fox clan to borrow the ghost lamp, and you, you will really kill him." β
"The cicada breath is powerful, I don't have that ability." Mu Qing had a hint of a smile on her face.
"Whatever you do, just borrow someone else's hand." An Ruomu snorted, "It's really yours, a few words, lead the spearhead to the fox clan, this battle for the burning ghost lamp is bound to be another melee." β
Mu Qing's fingers moved, and the chains clanged: "I snatched the burning lantern, but I didn't want to deal with me, in the end, I am still the worst one."
An Ruomu rubbed his hands together and paced back and forth, muttering something to himself.
"Protecting the Dharma, if you can't send the letter back, it's better to bring the person back first, and then make a plan." Wei Qi is reasonable.
An Ruomu rubbed his temples and said with a sad face: "But I really have to call someone again." Along the way, not only do I have to be chased away, but I also have to beware of this scourge, and I have to take my own life into it. β
"I can't do anything about it." Wei Qi was quite direct, "I can lend His Highness Qin Huang's Ling Hu, and it doesn't hurt to have more, but I can't guarantee that these Ling Hu will be able to deliver the letter." When we get to the docks, I'll have to go back as soon as you get on the boatβI wasn't ordered to send you back to Bo Fen Island. β
An Ruomu nodded: "I know." Forget about borrowing His Highness's Ling Hu, once you send a message, it is easy to be detected by followers. β
Wei Qi didn't say anything, stood up, and changed his words: "Have you almost rested?" Let's go. β
An Ruomu let out an "um" and raised the wooden ball in front of Mu Qing.
Mu Qing hurriedly raised her hands to cover her mouth and shook her head: "I promise, I swear, I will never say anything that makes anyone suspicious." No, I don't talk anymore, I can. β
An Ruomu frowned, and actually hesitated a little.
It was Wei Qi who gave the steps: "Forget it, An Protector, I don't know what I'll encounter when I go out, if I run away, it's not good to choke on my throat."
An Ruomu listened, muttered "yes, yes, yes", and put away the small wooden ball.
After that, the three of them walked forward again, and after a long time, they saw Wei Qi stop.
"Arrived?" An Ruomu didn't look like the end in front of him, and couldn't help but be stunned.
"Here we are." Wei Qi replied and pushed to his side.
Suddenly, fresh air poured in from the circular hole that appeared more than a meter in the wall.
Wei Qi was the first to go out, Mu Qing followed, and An Ruomu was at the end.
"Where are you?" Mu Qing turned her head around, and could only see the mountains and forests that were not dense, and she couldn't distinguish between the southeast and the northwest.
Wei Qi pointed in a certain direction.
Mu Qing and An Ruomu looked down and found that in the night, the walls of the Xuyang King City loomed among the branches and leaves.
"This is out of town?" Mu Qing was a little excited, and a little incredulous.
Wei Qi didn't have any expression, only urging him to leave quickly.
An Ruomu also pulled the chain in his hand, dragged Mu Qing, and sped up his pace.
After walking a short distance in the mountains and forests, they came across two horses grazing leisurely.
Wei Qi silently rode on one horse, An Ruomu didn't ask much, and rode another horse with Mu Qing.
With a shout, the horse's hooves flew.
The horse was obviously well-trained, and it didn't need much encouragement, and it was as if it knew the way, and it galloped in unison to a certain place.
"Lord Wei Qi, how many horses have you raised here?" Mu Qing suddenly asked loudly.
When Wei Qi heard this, he immediately realized what was going on and glanced back.
