The woman put Lanzi on the table, and walked over with a smile on her face and took Caisang's hand: "Alas, my daughter is back." It's grown so big, and it's so handsome. Is there a mother-in-law?" Cai Sang shook off her hand, threw a silver ingot on the table without saying a word, and pulled Murong Zhining to turn around and walk out.

Murong Zhining was pulled out of the courtyard by Caisang, she looked back a few times suspiciously, and finally she stopped with Caisang. Cai Sang asked suspiciously, "What's wrong with you, Zhi Ning?" Murong Zhi Ning looked at Cai Sang's eyes, and stopped talking: "The one who sold me to Wanhua Pavilion in the first place...... It's your stepmother. ”

Cai Sang crepe thought for a moment: "It turned out to be this poisonous woman, see that I didn't go in and tear her." Murong Zhining grabbed Cai Sang and sighed: "Forget it, what can you do if you beat her? Cai Sang shook off Murong Zhining's hand, but still rushed into the courtyard, she grabbed the silver ingot on the table that Yin Hua hadn't had time to take away, and went out to pull Murong Zhining away. Yin Hua chased out the door this time: "Alas, what are you doing here, Erya? Cai Sang smacked him hard: "It's hurtful." ”

The two walked silently in the direction of the Yin family's house. Cai Sang has been sullen: "I'm really ashamed to have such a father, I won't go to see him again, I have nothing to do with him." After Cai Sang finished speaking, he still didn't understand his hatred: "No, I will go to the government to denounce them for human trafficking." Murong Zhining grabbed her: "Have you forgotten our identity? If we are caught by that bully, we will be miserable." ”

Cai Sang pulled the thatch on the side of the road vigorously as he walked, venting the anger in his heart: "Are we going to hide here for the rest of our lives?" Murong Zhining ran in front of her: "Of course not, when the limelight is over, I still have to go back to Beijing." Cai Sang asked curiously, "Do you still want to find the little brother?" Murong Zhining nodded firmly. Cai Sang tilted his head innocently: "But Shangjing is so big, how can you find the little brother?" Murong Zhining rolled her eyes up mischievously, shaking her head proudly: "Mountain people have their own tricks. Murong Zhining poked her in the head mischievously: "Write a lot of notices and post them everywhere in Shangjing. Cai Sang rolled his eyes in disgust: "Huh...... What else should I do? Before the little brother could find him, the two of us were caught by the beasts. ”

Murong Zhining and Cai Sang quickly forgot their troubles and started playing happily again. Cai Sang picked a bright wildflower and inserted it on Murong Zhining's head: "Even if you are a little village girl, you are also the most beautiful little village girl I have ever seen." The two chased and ran down the trail.

Just as they were about to cross the hill, several horsemen appeared in front of the road, slowly approaching them. Murong Zhining realized the danger and wanted to pull Caisang to run back, but on the mountain road behind, he was also stopped by several horseback riders.

Qi Yun Yuexuan rode on his horse, staring at the two girls with angry and dangerous eyes. He rode into them, and his violent voice made people tremble: "Do you really think that you can run out of the palm of General Ben's hand? General Ben has already warned you once, but you are joking when you become a general?"

The guards tied Murong Zhining's hands with ropes, and the other end of the rope was handed to Qi Yun Yuexuan, who was riding on a horse. Qi Yun Yuexuan dragged Murong Zhining back slowly on the horse. Cai Sang didn't dare to speak, silently followed Murong Zhining's side, and when Murong Zhi was pulled by the rope and fell, she helped her up.

Murong Zhining was dragged all the way and walked a long way, returning from the path back to the official road. She had fallen countless times, her clothes were worn out, and blood was oozing from her knees, and Cai Sang was so distressed that she burst into tears.

There was a carriage parked there on the official road, and Murong Zhining and Caisang were stuffed into the carriage. When it got dark, the group returned to Shangjing.

Murong Zhining and Cai Sang were taken to the meeting hall of the General's Mansion, Cai Sang was so frightened that she was trembling all over, and Murong Zhining hugged her tightly. Qi Yun Yuexuan roared in a low voice, "Go and get the seal of the general's branded horse." "A few pawns came in with a burning charcoal basin. Caisang shrank back in horror: "You guys...... What are you going to do here?"

Qi Yun Yuexuan glanced at her fiercely: "You'll know in a while." ”

Qi Yun Yuexuan personally took a soldering iron, which was used by the army to brand horses in order to distinguish war horses, and the soldering iron had the word "Qi Yun" on it, and he put the soldering iron in a charcoal basin and burned it red.

Cai Sang roared hoarsely: "Don't ...... Don't hurt us. Can't we run away?"

Qi Yun Yuexuan coldly took the soldering iron, walked in front of Murong Zhining, and coldly ordered the guards beside him: "Hold her down." Cai Sang wanted to step forward to stop her, but she was also twisted her hands to her body, she cried and looked at Murong Zhining, and pleaded loudly with Yun Yuexuan.

Murong Zhining was slashed by two guards and fell to the ground, she didn't struggle. Qi Yun Yuexuan ripped open her back collar, her porcelain white and delicate back skin, flowing with a pale golden halo in the candlelight. Qi Yun Yuexuan coldly stepped on her waist with one foot to prevent her from struggling. Without any pity, he pressed the hot soldering iron in his hand against Murong Zhi's smooth right back, as if he were treating a livestock. A puff of green smoke rose from Murong Zhi's snow-white skin, she clenched her teeth, and a line of blood from the corner of her mouth flowed from the corner of her mouth, and she didn't even make any sound. Murong Zhining's stubbornness made the two guards who pressed him feel a chill in their backs, even a burly man couldn't stand this pain, and he would cry out. Caisang screamed in distress and fainted.

The soldering iron that Qi Yun Yuexuan held coldly gestured on Murong Zhi's face covered with beads of sweat: "Next time, it will be printed here." By the way, General Ben will have someone take care of your adoptive mother's family. ”

Murong Zhining lay prone on the bed, and Cai Sang helped her wipe the blood stains on the wound with tears. The place on Murong Zhining's back that had been burned, the flesh and blood were blurred, and the raised word Qiyun could be vaguely seen. These two words reflect her status in the General's Mansion, like an animal.

Cai Sang wiped and blew on the wound with his mouth, wanting to relieve Murong Zhining's pain. Murong Zhining was very calm: "Caisang, can you help me cut off that piece of skin?" I'm not afraid of pain, I don't want these two words to stay on my body." ”

Caisang begged her with a trembling voice: "No, no, no, even if you don't die of pain, you will die of infection." I don't allow you to think like that, don't you say that a dignified person holds his head high even if he is trampled underfoot? You have never bowed your head, and you have not lost your dignity. ”

Murong Zhining had tears in her eyes, Cai Sang was really her heart medicine, and a word could soothe the pain in her heart.

In the days that followed, Murong Zhining had no plans to escape. It's not because she's afraid, but because Yun Yuexuan has her weakness in her hands, and she doesn't want to affect her adoptive mother's family.

The impeachment case of Qi Yun Yuexuan had a final result two months later, and Yan Feng returned the talisman to him in the court. However, the scribe, who was taken as a witness, was poisoned in the room where he was guarded. The intertwined underground curtain was just about to be revealed, but it was hidden in the darkness again.

On the day that Qi Yun Yuexuan left Fuling Pass, Jisi Khan, who had suffered a big loss, began to move again, wanting to take advantage of Qi Yun Yuexuan's departure to recapture the lost city. After dealing with the affairs in the capital, Qi Yun Yuexuan immediately decided to lead the troops back to Fuling Pass to guard. In order not to fall short, he decided to take Murong Zhining away, and until he left, Yan Feng did not see him alone.

Before leaving, Murong Zhining put down her dignity for the first time and begged Yun Yuexuan, she wanted to leave Caisang in Shangjing. She didn't want Caisang to follow her to live a life of exile, Caisang was too fragile, and she didn't want her to suffer for herself.

Cai Sang refused to stay, and Murong Zhining forced her to stay in Shangjing with tears.

Murong Zhining sat quietly in the carriage and followed the Yun army south. When he left Shangjing, there were still ministers, and the people came to see him off, but Yan Feng did not come. Murong Zhining didn't want him to come either, she didn't want to see anyone who had treated her kind to be sad.
