Chapter 25: Betrayed
After Wei Luo saw the visitor, his expression froze for a while, and then he suddenly raised his head and laughed: "It is worthy of Mu Xian, he has attracted so many people in such a short period of time, it seems that the east corner of the land is really going to follow your surname Mu." ”
"Lock the two of them in the backyard, keep them strictly guarded, and tomorrow we will leave for Cangliao." Mu Xian waved his hand at Ji Bingcheng, then turned around and walked outside.
Ji Bingcheng arched his hand at us and said, "Your Majesty and Niangniang, please." ”
"How many of you want to keep us?" Willow sneered and grabbed my waist, but just as I was about to leave, she suddenly froze.
I followed his gaze and saw several guards standing in the dark with their swords bowed to their necks, looking at us quietly.
I almost forgot about the mud meng, this Ji Bingcheng is very smart!
"Sister Tassel save me!" Mue Meng also happened to see us, and she waved at us as she struggled.
Willow gave me an embarrassed look and asked what I meant. I regard Ni Meng as my own sister, and I won't leave her alone, so I pushed away Wei Luo's arm and said, "If you want to go, take Ni Meng with you!" ”
Wei Luo nodded, and took a few steps back to shoot a hidden weapon from his sleeve, and the hidden weapon flew towards Ji Bingcheng and them, and a large amount of white powder was emitted from it.
I immediately realized that it was the cartilage powder I had given him earlier, and raised my sleeves to cover my mouth and nose, and after a while, the people in the courtyard fell to the ground on their stomachs, and I hurriedly stepped forward to help Ni Meng up, and in a hurry I took out the antidote from my arms and stuffed it into her mouth.
"Sister...... "Ni Meng leaned on my body with a confused look and called in a low voice.
"Alright, it's okay, let's get out of here quickly." As soon as I finished speaking, I heard a burst of laughter, and when I turned my head, I saw that it was Mu Xian, who was about to leave.
Behind him, a group of black-clothed men pointed at the few people on the ground with a faint expression, and said, "The medicinal effect of cartilage powder is well deserved, if I get this formula, wouldn't it be like a tiger." ”
I subconsciously pressed the book in my arms and took a few steps back. This is my mother's lifelong learning, and Mu Xian must not be allowed to go.
"What is the formula of cartilage powder, don't forget, the mother of the tassel is Mrs. Hibiscus of Ji'an Hall, we have the recipe for all the poisons in Ji'an Hall, if you want to, you can exchange Bai Ze's blood with us." Willow leaned sideways to block me and Nimeng behind him, and the cloud said lightly.
"Oh?" Mu Xian suddenly sneered and said, "You are just a turtle in an urn now, what qualifications do you have to negotiate with me." After speaking, he waved to the man in black behind him and said, "Search for me!" I don't believe they don't have something so important with them. ”
Seeing that he was about to be surrounded by Mu Xian's people, suddenly a cold wind swept by, and a few leaves fell with the wind and swayed to Willow's shoulder. He pinched the blade with two slender fingers, slowly pressed it to his lips, and then a few crisp notes came out.
After a few notes, the trees around the house suddenly shook violently. There seems to be a large number of people hidden in the dense canopy.
Mu Xian's face tightened, and he looked at Wei Luo in disbelief: "You still have manpower?" How could this be......"
Wei Luo took advantage of Mu Xian's distraction, and lifted me and Ni Meng one by one and flew out of the yard.
"You have so many people, why don't you just get rid of Mu Xian?" I asked, puzzled.
"Fool!" Willow stuffed us into the carriage and sat down next to me and said to the guards driving outside, "The sooner you get out of the city, the better." ”
"Could it be that you were lying to Muxian just now?"
Wei Luo nodded lightly and said in a deep voice: "Almost all the shili I have in Yiguo have fallen into his hands, and I did underestimate him and Su Che's ability before. With Mu Xian's wit, I'm afraid that I've already discovered my trick, so let's get out of here quickly and make plans again. ”
"Then if we leave Yacheng now, how can we go to get Bai Ze's blood?" I clutched my sleeve and said in a bit of a panic. The three-month deadline is approaching in a blink of an eye, and if it is delayed any longer, the Queen Mother is afraid that she will not be able to wait.
I know that Willow is actually more anxious than I am, but when he encounters these problems, he always looks light, as if he has a way to solve everything. I knew he didn't want me to worry, but the more he was so calm, the more uneasy it became.
"Sister......" Nimeng pulled up my sleeve and changed it low.
"What, what's wrong with it?" Seeing Ni Meng's tired and depressed look, I don't know if the medicinal effect of cartilage powder has not passed, or if she is too tired these days, I asked with some distress along her long hair.
Ni Meng's expression froze for a long time, and Tian lowered his dry lips and said, "Just now I was locked up by Ji Bingcheng in a basement, where I seem to have seen Bai Ze." ”
Bai Ze was in the basement of the mansion just now? I was overjoyed, and I was thinking about how to go back there and find Bai Ze.
"Mu Xian must go outside the city to chase us now, if we go back to the mansion now, it will be safer." I had the audacity to come up with such an idea.
Willow's gaze lingered on Mumeng for a moment, then turned to me and said, "Just do as you say." ”
The guard turned his horse's head, and we hurried back along the path. Along the way, Ni Meng sat there with a stiff back, motionless, and didn't say a word. She should have been scared to venture back like this, so I patted her on the back and comforted: "Don't worry, we will definitely be able to get Bai Ze's blood smoothly and then return to Yiguo." ”
Ni Meng nodded with a pale face, and then a string of crystal tears slipped down her eyes.
Why is this stupid girl still crying?
I shook my head slightly, and squeezed her hand tighter.
All the way back to the back of the house, the three of us got out of the carriage in turn. Looking at the black lights inside, I thought that Mu Xian had already led us around to chase us.
Willow motioned for the guard in the car to wait outside, and then prepared to sneak into the courtyard alone, I raised my hand to stop him, and said uneasily, "I'll go in with you." ”
"No, just wait for me outside, I'll be out soon."
"Take me with you!" I clutched his sleeve tightly, "Also, bring Mud Moe with you, only she knows how to get to that basement." ”
As soon as my words fell, Nimeng's figure suddenly shook, and then he muttered, "I...... I don't remember the way either...... It seems to be ...... That ......"
Willow nodded, and before Mue Meng could finish speaking, he flew into the courtyard with us.
The black-lit courtyard suddenly lit up with several torches, as if it was day, Mu Xian pulled the big gun on his shoulder and walked slowly towards us: "Thank you Miss Sha for your help, what I promised you will definitely be done." ”
I turned my head and looked at the mud moe who had always looked a little weird, and asked in a low voice, "You actually betrayed us?" ”
"Sister, don't blame me...... I just want to save Big Brother Xiao......" Ni Meng quickly took a few steps back, leaning against the wall, and whispered with a very painful expression.
