【Chapter 96】The Sinner Girl
"Bet with me?" Mrs. Ling's withered voice revealed a slightly crazy undertone, "It's up to you?" ”
Yu Moji pinched his fingers a little embarrassedly. She suddenly found it a bit tricky. Madame Ling is obviously a person who believes in authority, and Yu Mojian herself, even if she has a lot of ability, is still a reserve without a job.
She proposed to make a bet with Mrs. Ling, completely based on her self-righteous and lonely courage; However, if Madame Ling refuses to accept her logic, this behavior does seem a bit ridiculous.
Yu Moji sighed softly and unconsciously clenched the Thousand Machine Crossbow. She did this, on the one hand, because she unconsciously became a little dependent on the weapon in her hand in fear, and on the other hand, she was also afraid that she would pull the trigger on impulse.
For the sake of today's plan, is there only a strong force?
She knew she wouldn't want to. In any case, the other party is Ling Ai's mother. Yu Mozhen himself is a person who has been living in the pain of losing his mother, but as long as there is a little chance, he will never let his best friend suffer the same fate.
"Mrs. Ling," Yan Zheng interjected, "what are you going to do?" In the current situation, if we have to fight, it seems that our side has the upper hand. When he said this, he still didn't let go of Ling Ai.
Ling Ai, who was stuck by him, was silent for a long time, and finally said, "Mother, I really feel very embarrassed that you are confronting each other like this. ”
"Embarrassed?" Mrs. Ling smiled rarely, "It seems that you still have a bit of a conscience." I haven't hurt you in vain. ”
Hearing this, Yu Moji's brows couldn't help frowning. She thought about it for a while, but still opened her mouth, "Madame's words are really unfair. I, an outsider, also feel that Ling Ai has taken on too much responsibility for you over the years. Stand up and ...... to Lao Meng She is the one who apologizes to Yuan Mengqiu's seniors, and she is also the one who has been dedicated to defending you since you came here. You're being mean to your daughter. ”
"Ink marks," Ling Ai's voice was low, looking a little hesitant, "don't say it." ”
"You apologize to Yuan Mengqiu?" Mrs. Ling's voice immediately became much sharper, "Why did you apologize to Yuan Mengqiu?" You want him to hate me to death? Before she could finish speaking, the branches of the lotus flower appeared again in the void, heading straight for Ling Ai.
This illusion in the void seemed to be determined by Madam Ling's thoughts.
Since the same situation had happened before, Yu Moji's reaction became much more timely. This time, she only used an arrow to knock down the strange branches.
This small result made her happy.
At this moment, Yuan Yizhi finally joined the already somewhat chaotic situation with his usual calm attitude. "Mrs. Ling, my father didn't hold a grudge against you." He sighed leisurely, "He always feels that he has lost too much of you in this life, and he will miss your kindness until he dies." The deceased is long gone...... Even for the sake of my father's dying hopes, please stop destroying herself like this. ”
"Meng Qiu, he ......" Madam Ling's masked face slowly turned to Yuan Pingzhi along with the lotus stone platform under him, "What did he say in the end?" ”
"My father finally committed suicide because he thought that his life was really ridiculous, and he had lived for his heart all his life, but he had done his best to have many teachers and friends. He felt that he had sinned Mr. Xu so far, and all he could do was to accompany Mr. Xu to death, so that Mr. Xu would not be too lonely. Yuan Yizhi's attitude towards the death of his relatives was much calmer than Yu Moji's, "For you, Mrs. Ling, my father's last wish is that the two of you don't have to see each other again in your life, and the suffering suffered by each other due to entanglement will not happen again in the future, whether you live or die." ”
"He won't see me." Mrs. Ling's momentum lowered, "He doesn't want to see me until he dies." ”
Yu Mochen couldn't help but say, "In fact, the so-called Huangquan and ghosts and gods, who knows if they really exist?" Only those who are alive have more opportunities. Madam, you are an elder, you should always understand better than me, an ignorant junior. ”
She actually had no confidence in what she said. After all, it was she who killed Xu Fuzi with her own hands, which indirectly prompted Lao Meng to give up his life. If Mrs. Ling knew about this, and she was angry, would she fight to the death with her?
However, after facing the deaths of many people, Yu Mozhen felt more and more that there were many words that might change the situation and actions that could reverse the situation, and when there was still time to say and do it, it should never be suppressed in his heart because of the fear of risks, and in vain he should be kept as material for future regrets.
Moreover, the risks they face at this time are not completely uncontrollable. Even though Yuan Pingzhi is still under the control of Mrs. Ling at present, since Ling Ai has no intention of favoring at all, Yu Mozhen himself and Yan Zheng are here to help Yuan Pingzhi, and the strength of the three of them seems to be as Yan Zheng said, with a slight upper hand.
And this advantage is not only reflected in combat effectiveness.
On the one hand, Mrs. Ling is almost crazy, and her treatment of her own daughter has reached the point of cruelty; On the other hand, this madness also revealed that her state of mind had been shaken.
Not so with the ink marks.
Even Yan Zheng, a man of action, definitely doesn't want to cause unnecessary harm.
Carrying a sharp weapon but maintaining a compassionate heart is the royal way; In this kind of battle situation, which is especially a test of mood, there is an absolute advantage.
What she has to do at this moment is to take advantage of the victory to pursue and force Mrs. Ling to make a final decision; Once she fails to grasp this opportunity and allows Mrs. Ling to indulge in the logic she thinks is self-consistent, it may be difficult to turn the tables again.
"Mrs. Ling, there is nothing else to do about us now, I have a question in my heart, why don't I raise it and ask you for an answer." Yu Mochen pretended to be relaxed on his face, but carefully considered the words in his heart, "Since Madame thinks that in today's world, if you want to get ahead in this world, you must rely on the help of powerful people, then Madam, as a person with a huge family support behind you, and your husband also has quite high authority in the imperial capital, why do you want to succumb to this dungeon and start from the southwest, which is not rich?" ”
Mrs. Ling was silent for a while before she said, "You are from a poor family." If it were my daughter, she would never have asked such a stupid question. ”
Yu Moji was not annoyed, but just smiled frankly, "It's not just a cold door, it's just like a rootless weed." ”
Yuan Zhizhi glanced back at her, his expression a little complicated.
Yu Moji's smile hadn't been withdrawn yet, so he simply handed it all to Yuan Zhizhi.
Did this person pity her situation, or was she touched by her background as an orphan?
She and Yuan Yizhi should have been very similar.
Yu Mojian took a little effort, forgetting these distracting thoughts for a while, and refocusing his attention on Madam Ling. She didn't actually expect Mrs. Ling to give such a detailed answer. All she really wanted was to find a breakthrough.
She didn't expect that Mrs. Ling, who was in a rather unstable mental state, would show enough patience at this time.
"Powerful families offer protection, but they also have many restrictions. My father and brother would rather I be a puppet at the mercy of men, and my husband would like me to be a graceful jade vase to be placed on the hall to earn some lintel. When Mrs. Ling talked about these things, she returned to her previous dead attitude, "Even if I have the ability, I have no place in the imperial capital. ”
These words made Yu Moji very embarrassed.
"Furthermore," Madam Ling added, "the foundation of the Xuannu Sect itself is here, and I have no reason to forcibly move it to the imperial capital. ”
Yu Moji was stunned for a moment, and said, "Isn't Madame a Xuannu Niangniang?" ”
Mrs. Ling laughed and asked rhetorically, "How can I be a Xuannu Niangniang?" ”
This was really beyond Yu Moji's expectations. She was about to continue her inquiry when she heard a rather hurried footsteps.
Madam Ling calmed down at this time, and she couldn't stand this kind of stimulation the most, so she immediately said, "You actually brought ambush soldiers?" As she spoke, the lotus stone formation under her body rotated together, and together with Yuan Yizhi in the corner, they all shifted their positions.
Yu Mochen was so anxious that she was about to explain, but Ling Ai had already opened her mouth for her, "Only a few of us came." I could guess who was coming now, but I had never consulted with them. ”
She said this very strangely. Yu Mochen looked back at Ling Ai's expression, and saw that the group of people had already turned the corner and appeared in front of them.
Leading a few teams of armored soldiers, fully armed, it turned out to be Lord Cardinal, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
"So it's you?" Mrs. Ling said this, but there was no hint of surprise in her tone.
"I didn't want to come in the first place," Ling Jingcheng smiled bitterly, "but since it's my own family matter, I'll handle it myself." As he spoke, he ordered the first row of Yanjia soldiers to get out of the way, revealing several holy women who were tied up behind them.
Among them, Yu Moji actually saw the one who was pecked by a crow on the neck.
"Sun Fujia." Lin Jingcheng's mouth should be Mrs. Ling's maiden name. It seems that in this matter, the two of them are about to draw a line. "All the members of your Xuannu Sect have been captured by us. Do you still have to resist to the death? ”
Ling Jingcheng's arrival was definitely not something that Yu Moji could predict, nor was it something she hoped for.
But this cardinal, with the life of the saint on whom the Xuannu Sect depended, made Mrs. Ling withdraw. This is undoubtedly the simplest and most brutal way, and there is no room for interjection at all.
She could only stop talking and acting, completely changing from a warrior to a spectator, watching the cardinal clean up the mess.
It wasn't until she returned to the entrance of the dungeon that the Cardinal finally remembered her presence.
"Ling Ai and Yu Moji listen to orders." Ling Jingcheng said, "From today onwards, you two will be dismissed from their official positions, retain their reserve status, and immediately return to the Cardinal's Council, stay in the hospital for probation, and you will not be allowed to go out without an order." ”
