Xu Da paused for a moment, and then said, "It's just that you told me to put down the weapon in my hand, but Lu Chen has a mirage comparable to thousands of troops." It's really unfair. ”

Yu Mochen was anxious in his heart, and was about to speak, but Yuan Yizhi, who was standing on the side, suddenly took a few steps forward, and was able to block in front of Xu Da, and said, "Since Mr. doesn't believe it, I will guarantee my life." I consider myself a beloved disciple of Master Lu, and I am also of some use to the Cardinal. With me in front of my husband, the teacher will not open fire easily. ”

"You," Xu Da sighed, "You're obviously a good boy, but it's really unscrupulous to stand on Lu Chen's side." ”

Having said that, he finally withdrew the terrifying weapon back into his extremely intricate armor, and the whole person came out of it. He was only wearing a plain robe at the moment, and he looked like a stiff old man, not aggressive at all.

As soon as Xu Da put down his weapon, the mirage in the water immediately moved. Lu Chen probably saw the situation here, and slowly retracted the long arm that could fire cannonballs. The mirage's watchtower gradually rose up, poking out of the water, and finally a small platform appeared at the top, in which Lu Chen stood.

Yu Mojin breathed a long sigh of relief, holding the arquebus that Ling Ai gave her, and stood aside, waiting for Lu Chen to open his mouth to explain the truth.

At this moment, Xu Da suddenly had a seizure. A small musket slipped out of his sleeve. The old man, who was no longer very agile, raised his hand to bypass Yuan Zhizhi, and was about to shoot ammunition at Lu Chen.

In a moment, Yuan Pingzhi immediately turned around, and he actually tried to block it again, but this time, the person he wanted to protect was Lu Chen.

There were two muffled sounds, both of which were the sound of ammunition hitting the human body, but it was Xu Da who fell. Yuan Zhizhi just took a few steps back to stabilize his figure, and it seemed that he was fine. He turned his head to meet the frightened gaze of the ink marks.

Yu Moji didn't react to what was going on, she saw that Yuan Yizhi was exposed to Xu Da's gun, so she immediately shot first.

With such a valuable arquebus, she had only touched it once or twice on the training ground, and she didn't even have the qualifications, how could she shoot so accurately?

What Xu Dan's gun shot was just a wooden bullet, which hit Yuan Pingzhi's body, except for causing him to suffer a little, it can be said that he was unharmed; What Yu Mozhen has in his hand is a real arquebus, and if this shot goes down, Xu Da's life will be difficult to save even if he is a god.

The ink mark immediately collapsed.

Yuan Yizhi reacted quickly, and immediately ran over to protect her in his arms, blocking Yu Moji's sight with his body, preventing her from seeing Xu Da's condition.

It's not that she hasn't killed anyone, but the strange mountain bandits who died under her hands in Juping Mountain are all wrapped in heavy armor, and they can't even see their faces. That kind of enemy is definitely not the same thing as Master Xu, who is now wearing a plain robe and dying under her gun, for Yu Moji.

After all, Xu Fuzi was the teacher who first guided her to explore the study of Yanjia, and for her, it can be called the grace of recreation.

After that, how Lu Chen came to inspect, how Lao Meng was sober and how he was subdued, how Ling Ai and Jin Niang persuaded each other, and how everyone took her back to the cardinal, Yu Mojian's brain was a mess with the gunshots, and he couldn't remember it clearly.

By the time she finally calmed down, she was already in a confinement room.

Yu Moji's move was of course to protect Yuan Yizhi's life, but since the result was only Xu Da's death, she had to bear the responsibility.

But Ling Jingcheng and Lu Chen came forward in person, turned around in every possible way, and tried their best to reduce her guilt, but what finally fell on her was just a punishment of being confined in the hospital as a punishment.

This kind of punishment is too light compared to Xu Fuzi's life.

The confinement chamber was empty, and the only thing that could be used to keep time was the daily meals brought by the servants.

Yu Moji didn't want to count how many days had passed.

She had been sucked into a bottomless whirlpool of fear and guilt in her heart. She refused to wake up, nor did she want to indulge in a slumber. After all, from the day she left the edge of Fenglong Pond, what appeared in her nightmare was no longer the death of her mother, but the ghost who came to ask for her life. In addition, there are countless faces, strange and familiar, who take turns to condemn her.

Yu Moji was so miserable and in pain that he would rather die in a dark confinement room.

Both Jin Niang and Ling Ai had come to visit her. Yu Moji just hugged his knees, shrunk in the corner, and didn't want to say a word. Jin Niang's usual warmth and comfort, in this serious situation, is no longer useful. Ling Ai tried to apologize to Yu Mojian for the arquebus, but his voice was finally stopped by Yu Moji's sad and desperate eyes, and he had to sigh and leave.

It's not that they don't understand the pain in Yu Moji's heart, but they are not the parties involved, even if they empathize, they are separated by a layer after all.

The last person to come to visit Yu Moji was Yuan Zhizhi.

"I'm here to thank you." Yuan Pingzhi said, and sat down casually beside Yu Moji. "Your actions in a hurry that day, even if they were not very appropriate, were to save my life." Even so, his voice was extremely flat, with no emotion, no consolation, and it was even colder than the usual conversation.

Maybe the harmony is like Yuan, and I don't know what emotions to face at this moment. Fortunately, it was dark all around, and they couldn't see each other's expressions, and their complicated thoughts didn't cause too much interference.

Yu Moji shook his head and cowered in vain to the wall, trying to hide the tears he had shed at some point through the darkness. She was silent for a long time, and Yuan Zhizhi sat quietly on the side for a long time.

Yu Moji's perception of time has been completely destroyed by her self-abandonment. She didn't know how much time had passed, and she couldn't see where Yuan Yizhi was in the dark.

There was only silence all around. Yu Moji almost suspected that Yuan Yizhi might have fallen asleep, or maybe she had left when she was in a trance.

"General Yuan." Yu Mochen finally opened her mouth, and she tried her best to hold back her crying, but her voice was still a little trembling.

Yuan Zhizhi's clear voice immediately sounded in her ears, "I'm here." ”

Yu Moji was a little relieved, but he didn't know what to say. She didn't want to mention the matter of Xu Fuzi, nor did she want Yuan Pingzhi to fall into this awkward silence again. Her mind had not taken on the burden of thinking about the problem for a long time, and at this moment it suddenly came in handy, and she could almost hear the sound of rust peeling. Yu Moji thought hard for a while before finally saying, "What about your father?" ”

I'm afraid there is only one Xu Da Lao Meng in his eyes, where is he at the moment, and what is his mood?

"Took Master Xu's ashes and left." Yuan Pingzhi's voice was still very calm, "Maybe it's a reply." It took a lot of thought to think about that house, and there was a kitten that needed to be taken care of. You've seen it too. But they may also have gone to a place they first met...... My father was a nostalgic person, but he was also very paranoid. He was actually very sorry for such a thing. ”

"Excuse me?" Yu Moji felt strange. In the whole thing, it seems that everyone feels that they are at fault, but in the end, she is the only one who really does wrong.

"Have you ever wondered why Master Xu's musket is loaded with non-lethal wooden bullets?" Probably thinking of touching the sore spot of Yu Moji, when Yuan Pingzhi said this, although it was a matter-of-fact tone, he gently shook Yu Moji's hand.

Yu Moji's fingers remained motionless, just for him to hold. Yuan Zhizhi quickly let go of her.

Yu Mochen thought for a while before he whispered, "What Master Xu said is true. He didn't mean to hurt Lu Shifan at all. ”

"No one thought it would be like this." Yuan Zhizhi, "Even my father, who knows Xu Fuzi so well, didn't understand what he meant, but always wanted to avenge Xu Fuzi." ”

"Is that really the case?" Yu Moji heard it in a fog. Her messy brain couldn't handle such a complicated matter at all, "So, why did Master Xu come?" ”

"The real reason is unknown. But as far as I can imagine, he was trying to get my father to give up his revenge. "Yuan Pingzhi," my father always felt ashamed of Master Xu, so he wanted to take advantage of his lifetime to settle the grudge many years ago for him. But Mr. Xu didn't want my father to get involved in this matter again. Based on his understanding of my father, I am afraid that my father would not stop until he personally took action and fired a shot at Lu Shifan, who was in charge of the verdict back then. ”

Yu Moji was only shocked in his heart.

Yuan Pingzhi continued, "When I was still by their side in the past, Xu Fuzi was still a high-spirited person, and he often said that people live in the world, even if they are only a hundred years, they should give full play to their own value, and don't waste their lives in vain for irrelevant things. Many years have passed, and Mr. Xu's state of mind may have changed a lot. But as far as I can i'm thinking, that's why he didn't intend to hurt Lu Shifan in the end. ”

Yu Moji was silent for a long time, and finally said quietly, "Master Xu may not have thought that Mr. Meng would ...... Your father, the most important value, is Master Xu. ”

She suddenly felt that she understood Lao Meng's mood very well.

Yuan Pingzhi sighed leisurely and said, "You have always been a very sensible child, but the burden in your heart is always heavier than others. But the dead are gone, and the living should be struggling. Master Shi and Lord Ling have thought of many ways to save you, and what they are looking forward to is that you will be able to achieve something in the future. ”

All that needs to be said has been said. There was a sound of clothes rubbing in Yu Moji's ears, and Yuan Pingzhi had already stood up, but he suddenly reached out and patted Yu Moji's shoulder gently, and said, "If you can't cheer up, I'm afraid I'll be ashamed for the rest of my life." ”

Yu Moji stared at his two eyes in vain, looking in the direction of Yuan Yizhi, and tears poured out again.

After more than ten days, Yu Moji's confinement period finally passed. She had been in the confinement cell for so long that her hands and feet were weak, and when she passed by a polished stainless steel door, she caught a glimpse of her own figure, only to find that she had lost weight twice. However, since the day Yuan Pingzhi visited her, her spirit has finally slowly recovered.

Even though she was weak, she had to report to Lu Chen immediately after the confinement ended. Fortunately, Lu Chen couldn't find any complicated emotions in his eyes when he looked at her, and he wouldn't remind her of any difficult old things.

Lu Chen smiled, "You're finally back." ”

Yu Mojin nodded, his gaze a little firmer, "Yes." I am back. ”
