074, the saint, do not leave a whole corpse
And Chu Zhiyue deliberately wanted to leave Bei Xuanyin, after all, Bei Xuanyin had been following, and she also felt awkward.
Bei Xuanyin hasn't come back now, which is more in line with her heart.
"Zhou Qing, let's go first." Chu Zhiyue said.
Zhou Qing was a little embarrassed and said, "This is not big, right?" If that's the case, then the boy won't be able to find us when he returns. ”
Chu Zhiyue pouted: "No matter him, who is your master?" Or do you want to change jobs? ”
Zhou Qing looked dazed and asked, "What is job hopping?" ”
Chu Zhiyue knocked on his head and said, "It's just that you want to give him a person, and you don't want to follow me." ”
Zhou Qing hurriedly shook his head and explained to himself, "The little one doesn't mean that, it's just that the son's status is noble, and I don't know if anything happened now, if we leave like this, it's really inappropriate." ”
Chu Zhiyue raised her eyebrows and said, "Then you stay and wait for him." ”
After that, she went to ask Xiao Er to take the horse out and prepare to leave.
Zhou Qing felt that these two people really liked to make trouble, and there was no way for a while, Chu Zhiyue only went on the road, he was not at ease, so he had to abandon Bei Xuanyin and follow Chu Zhiyue.
Chu Zhiyue was quite satisfied with this result, the two of them did not ride horses in the city, and slowly pulled the horses out of the city.
But Zhou Qing suddenly stopped, and went back to the small alley just now to take a look.
Chu Zhiyue looked back and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Zhou Qing shook his head slightly, feeling a little strange, "I seem to have heard someone shouting for help just now." ”
Chu Zhiyue listened attentively, and sure enough, she heard a slight voice, she threw the reins to Zhou Qing, "You wait here, I'll go in and take a look." ”
Zhou Qing nodded and admonished, "Miss, be careful." ”
Today, Zhou Qing also believes in Chu Zhiyue's ability.
Chu Zhiyue also walked in, raising her vigilance, and there was no smell of blood coming out of the alley.
But as soon as she turned the corner, she saw a woman half-lying on the edge of the wall, her eyes closed.
The woman was not injured, but it seemed to be out of breath, Chu Zhiyue squatted down and looked, "Girl, how are you?" ”
The woman heard the voice, as if she had seen a ray of dawn, opened her eyes slightly, saw Chu Zhiyue, and suddenly reached out and grabbed Chu Zhiyue's arm.
"Save ...... Save my ...... Child...... My child ......" The woman finally said a word, and it had already taken most of her strength.
Chu Zhiyue nodded and looked around, there was no trace of a fight.
This woman also looks like she is dying, so where is her child?
There was a glimmer of hope in the woman's eyes, and she pinned her hope on Chu Zhiyue.
Chu Zhiyue asked, "Where is your child?" ”
The woman gasped and said, "The city gate, that back alley, in the basket." ”
Chu Zhiyue frowned, this woman hid her child, so this woman's identity must not be simple, right? Is this to avoid being chased by the enemy?
The woman was afraid that Chu Zhiyue would not help her, so she used her last strength to tighten Chu Zhiyue's arm and said, "My child...... It's called Zilong, please...... Please......"
The woman was about to cry, and waited for Chu Zhiyue to promise herself.
"After the child is saved, who will give it to?" Chu Zhiyue asked.
The woman's gaze began to blur, and she shook her head with all her might, "Don't ...... I don't want her and my fate to ...... Same ......"
The woman's voice became quieter and quieter, and at the last moment, she was still saying no.
Chu Zhiyue felt strange, she checked if there was anything suspicious on the woman's body, and then only found a piece of sheepskin, and there was nothing on it.
She pursed her lips and walked out of the alley with the sheepskin.
Zhou Qing was waiting outside, and when he saw Chu Zhiyue coming out, he immediately asked, "Little county lord, is there anyone?" ”
"Dead." Chu Zhiyue said.
Zhou Qing's face changed, and he said, "Then should we report to the official?" ”
"She died in a strange way, she is definitely not an ordinary person, let's not startle the snake, there will definitely be people who want to find her, let's go somewhere else." After Chu Zhiyue finished speaking, she rushed to the alley on the other side of the city gate.
Zhou Qing believed in Chu Zhiyue's considerations, so he obediently followed Chu Zhiyue.
When she arrived in the alley, Chu Zhiyue saw the basket placed on the edge of the wall, she opened it and looked at it, but she didn't see anything.
Chu Zhiyue frowned, what about the child?
"Miss, what are you looking for?" Cycle to ask.
Chu Zhiyue said, "That woman's child." ”
"Isn't it? Could she be a fugitive? Zhou Qing thinks that this matter should be left alone.
Chu Zhiyue shook her head, thinking about the woman's face, she didn't think that the woman was a fugitive, and the child was innocent, no matter what, she shouldn't be angry with the child.
But the question is, where did the child go?
Chu Zhiyue was still thinking deeply, and at the end of the alley, an old woman walked out, looked at Chu Zhiyue, and said, "You came to find your child?" ”
Chu Zhiyue's eyes lit up, and she walked over and asked, "Mother-in-law, have you seen my child?" ”
The old woman snorted, looking at Chu Zhiyue's expression with a little disdain, "Your discarded child was taken away by Aunt Zhao!" What's the use of you coming back now! I'm afraid I'll sell it to someone else now! ”
When Chu Zhiyue heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief, this is not just taken away by the enemy, this can still be recovered.
She stepped forward and stuffed the silver into the old woman's hand, and said a little sadly: "Mother-in-law, it's all my fault, I regret dying now, so where is Aunt Zhao?" I want to go to her. ”
The old woman weighed the weight of the silver, her face softened, and she said: "Aunt Zhao lives in the fireworks and willow lane in front, she used to be a dusty woman, and when she is old, she specializes in this kind of abduction and trafficking of children, you go quickly, see if your children have been sold." ”
Chu Zhiyue nodded, thanked the old woman, and pulled Zhou Qing to Fireworks Willow Lane.
Zhou Qing was a little helpless and asked, "Miss, when did you have another child?" ”
"It's not nonsense, don't worry about it."
"But this matter has nothing to do with us, and the child's mother is dead, what can we do if we get the child back? Do you have to bring it yourself? Zhou Qing asked.
Chu Zhiyue's face was solemn, and she said, "Zhou Qing, take a look." ”
She casually gave Zhou Qing the sheepskin she had just gotten from the woman, Zhou Qing took it and looked at it carefully, it was originally an indifferent expression, and then she became solemn.
"This is ......," Zhou Qing looked at the sheepskin again.
On the sheepskin, there is a dragon-shaped mark.
Only by looking closely can you see it, and that mark is not the mark of the Northern Ling Kingdom, but the royal mark of the previous dynasty.
That's why Zhou Qing is so dignified.
"That woman must have something to do with the previous dynasty." Chu Zhiyue touched her chin, "Moreover, in the dowry that my mother prepared for me, there are also a lot of items from the previous dynasty, you know?" ”
"The little one knew, and the father and the little one also thought it was strange at that time, but the county lord of Huiping had passed away, so I can't know why." Zhou Qing said, "If this is related to the previous dynasty, the identity of this woman must not be simple." ”
He didn't expect that the previous dynasty had been destroyed for decades, and now there were royal descendants of the previous dynasty.
Chu Zhiyue's eyes were dark, and she said: "I want to find out about this matter, it is too strange that the former dynasty suddenly collapsed, and it quickly split into four countries without any war." ”
Zhou Qing agreed with this and said: "That's right, this matter is indeed a mystery, the former dynasty was originally a prosperous country, and it suddenly collapsed, which is unreasonable." And most importantly, the lord of Huiping has a lot of items from the previous dynasty. ”
The two whispered, already looking for the fireworks Willow Alley.
And on the other side, in the alley just now.
The woman's eyes were tightly closed, she had been out of breath for a while, and her body was stiff.
One knelt down and said with some fear: "The holy woman has lost her breath, but the little master Zilong is nowhere to be seen. ”
"What about the scriptures?" In the corner, the man in black asked.
"I've searched it, but I haven't found it."
The atmosphere suddenly froze, and the kneeling man swallowed a mouthful of water, for fear that he would become the ghost of the man in black.
The man in black said slowly: "Li Xuan appeared last night and wanted to save the Holy Maiden, maybe he took the little master and the true scripture away and found out the person. ”
"Yes!" Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, although Li Xuan was a great disciple of Wuji Dao, but he was injured last night in order to save the Holy Maiden, and now he shouldn't be able to be very powerful, so he was afraid that people would hide and refuse to come out.
"The body of the holy woman ......," the kneeling man asked again in a reluctance manner.
"Traitor, don't leave a whole corpse!" The man in black said.
After saying that, he just threw out a small worm and crawled towards the woman's body.
Everyone immediately walked away, this carrion worm is specialized in eating corpses, so there is no need for them to intervene.
But with a whoosh, the carrion insect was hit by a hidden weapon and died on the spot.
The man in black looked up and saw a man in black clothes standing on the roof, with a silver mask on his face.
"Lixuan, you just appeared?" The man in black pointed at the woman, "Look, the holy woman you want to protect is dead!" ”
Bei Xuanyin's expression was still the same, and he looked at the man in black with a little more fierce gaze, "Then you will also die today." ”
As he spoke, Bei Xuanyin pulled out a long sword, the swordsmanship was extremely fast, the cold light flashed, and he wanted the lives of the two of them at once.
The man in black stepped back, and a flute suddenly appeared in his hand and sounded.
The long sword in Bei Xuanyin's hand was even faster, piercing the chest of the man in black, the man in black didn't expect that he would have no effect when he played the flute, and in a blink of an eye, he was forced into the corner by Bei Xuanyin.
With a twist of his wrist, Bei Xuanyin snatched the flute, and then said: "The things of the Holy Maiden, do you think you can use them?" ”
The man in black's face changed, and he slapped Bei Xuanyin, and couldn't help but take a few steps back and vomit blood.
