Chapter 160: A fly in the ointment
The stone and wood roared and rushed forward.
Chenying roared, spread his wings, protected his body, spun around twice in place, and suddenly stretched out.
The wind was blowing, and the stones and wood flew out screaming. If the shields hadn't been reinforced by the Ashes, they would have been hit hard by the strike. Despite this, they still suffered a lot, staggering all the way out of the wall on their knees.
Wuji held his breath, raised his arm, protected in front of him, his eyes narrowed slightly, but he stared at Chenying deadly, moving his feet carefully, as close as possible to Chenying, ready to launch a second attack at any time.
He had to get close to Tayashi to have a chance.
Tatsuya turned his head to the huge eagle head and listened. Suddenly, he turned his head outward, crouched down, rushed forward, spread his wings, flew into the sky, and disappeared into the darkness with a long sigh.
A few drops of blood fell from the sky.
"Master, don't panic, I'm coming!" Stone rushed in with a crossbow to defend the city, and looked around, but did not find Chenying. "Hey, what about the flat-haired beast?"
"Ran away!" Wuji breathed a sigh of relief, touched his neck, looked at the open placket, and said in a dumb voice: "Damn, it's so dangerous!"
Ling Hu Minzhi was also relieved, leaning against the giant bell and slowly sliding on the ground.
Wuji bent down, picked up the golden tickets and jade plates scattered on the ground, sat down next to Linghu Minzhi, flicked the golden ticket, and said with emotion: "After making so much money, I almost lost my life, Xianyang is really dangerous." However, compared with Xianyang, people's hearts are more dangerous. â
Linghu Minzhi glanced at him: "I didn't do it behind your back, it's already good." â
"What's the matter? I still want to thank you?" Wuji snorted: "Take me as a sacrifice, are you still justified?"
"You think too highly of yourself. "There was a contemptuous voice from the giant bell, muffled. "You're a decoy at best. Where to be eligible to be sacrificed. Alas, I said you guys don't talk nonsense, okay, hurry up and find someone to get me out. Are you asking me to spend the New Year in the clock?"
"Wait slowly. Wuji rang the giant bell, "I actually called someone when I went back to heaven, you should be patient." â
"Damn!" Ying dared to burst into a foul mouth. "Mowgli, you wait. When I come out, I can't spare you!"
"I'll talk about it when you come out. Mowgli said. Pick up a brick and strike the bell twice.
From the giant bell came a wail of daring to beg for mercy.
......
Chenying was brought to Yin Jiao's face, and the blood on his face was still there. The wounds on his eyes and neck have healed.
"How can this be?" Yin Jiao looked at Chenying in surprise, and his hand holding the wine glass stopped in mid-air.
"The subordinates were incompetent, and the Ying and Hai Ying were broken, and the mission failed. Please punish the general. â
Chenying told the story of what had happened. Yin Jiao listened, his eyebrows twitched, and his eyes flickered. Finally, he nodded: "I know, you can go with confidence." Your family, I'll take care of it. â
"Thank you, General. Chen Ying bowed to the ground, bowed three times, and then got up and walked out.
It didn't take long. Led by a middle-aged man, Chenying tied his hands back. Rush in the direction of the Imperial City.
......
Escorted by a team of Praetorian Guards, Mowgli returned to his natural residence.
At this time, it is three o'clock in the hour, firecrackers are ringing in the sky, fireworks are blooming, endless, and you can see the road clearly without lighting the lamp.
The procession stopped at the entrance of the natural residence, and after the Praetorian Guard saluted again, they slowly retreated with awe.
Wood carried Mowgli on his back, walked into the inner courtyard, and carefully put Mowgli down.
Mowgli looked a little miserable, his clothes were torn open, his face and body were covered with blood, lying there, motionless, as if he was dead.
Ying Yiran panicked when she saw it, pounced, hugged Wuji, and cried loudly.
The queen was also stunned and did not move for a long time.
Shi Yuling and Jing Sanhu's family gathered around and were silent. Jing Xiaoyang wiped his eyes and wept secretly.
Xiao Ziyue pushed Ying Yiran away, her little face turned red, and she yelled angrily, as if she was accusing Ying Yiran of killing Wuji.
The little evil spirits also followed, and roared at Ying Yiran with a fierce attitude.
Ying also sat on the ground, only knowing how to cry, and not saying a word.
Xiao Ziyue yelled for a while, sat on the ground, hugged Wuji, and cried loudly.
"Oh, what are you crying about? Wuji screamed weakly, slowly raised his hand, pinched Xiao Ziyue's nose, and shook it gently.
Xiao Ziyue's cry came to an abrupt end. She opened her hazy eyes and looked at Mowgli in disbelief.
Shi Yuling and the others were also stunned, and looked at Wuji in unison.
Only Ying Yiran is still crying. The queen leaned down and patted her on the shoulder. "Don't cry, you're not dead yet. â
Ying was also startled, turned to look at Wuji, and saw Wuji sitting up, looking at her with a grin, just like waking up from a dream. She burst into tears and laughed, kneeled in front of Wuji, raised her fist, and made a gesture to fight.
"Don't fight, don't fight. Wuji held her wrist and begged for mercy: "Almost died, just a little." â
"Then why are you pretending to be dead and scary?" Ying Yiran said angrily: "It's fun to pretend to be dead for the New Year?"
"I didn't pretend to be dead, I'm really tired. Wuji smiled: "Do you have anything to eat? I'm hungry." â
"Absolutely. Shi Yuling giggled and said, "The dumplings made by the queen and the seventh princess are waiting for you to come back and eat." â
"That's great. Wuji held Ying Yiran's hand: "It's not in vain! Hurry up, let me taste the queen's craftsmanship and taste the taste of the mother for the seventh prince." He's so pitiful, he's still under the bell. â
The corners of the queen's eyes twitched, and she stopped talking. It is not only Wuji who almost died today, but also the Seven Princes who dare to be it.
However, this is not in her plan, Ying Dare is just going to recover the token, and there is no plan to clash head-on with the people in Yin Jiao. Now that Wuji has completed the task and returned safely, Yingdang is trapped under the giant bell and doesn't know when he will be able to get out.
In any case, the New Year's Eve will definitely not be kept.
Mowgli washed up, changed into new clothes, and came out in good spirits. Shi Yuling had already brought the supper to the table, and Wuji and the others feasted and feasted, and then began to tell the queen and Ying Yiran what happened.
The queen listened quietly, occasionally asking a question or two. When talking about Shi Dalong, the queen asked.
"Why don't you just kill him?"
"Didn't the queen say that he should not see the sun of the New Year? Now that he is blind, he will certainly not be able to see it. â
The queen was stunned for a moment, looked at Wuji with straight eyes, and said after a while: "That's how you understand?"
Wuji nodded vigorously, his eyes were so pure that he was confused, and even Ying Yiran was a little puzzled.
The queen's eyes were a little scattered, and she couldn't focus on it.
At this time, Shi Yuling came in, attached to the queen's ear, and whispered a few words. The queen's scattered eyes immediately tightened, her willow eyebrows raised slightly, and she sneered: "It's so fast." â
"What's wrong?"
"Yin Jiao asked people to tie up Chenying to ask for sin. The queen glanced at Wuji. "It was said that he saw Wuji killing, and rushed into the White Horse Temple, mistakenly thinking that he was going to kidnap the Seven Princes, so he took action to stop it, but unexpectedly shocked the Seven Princes. â
"How dare you say it. Mowgli snorted.
"It makes sense, at least I can't find any flaws. The queen stood up and looked at Yingyi. "You have to go back to the palace before dawn. â
Ying Yiran's face was slightly red and nodded.
The queen put on her cloak and turned into the appearance of a great teacher, raised her legs and was about to go out, and turned back.
"You have a good rest, and when you are free, help me adjust. I can imitate the shape of a great teacher, but the realm is not enough, and it is too hard to pretend. â
Mowgli was stunned, what does this mean?
"What, don't want to?" the queen chuckled, reached out and patted Mowgli on the back of the head. "The future mother-in-law, after all, is not the real mother-in-law, don't think that everything will be fine if you deceive my daughter, the test has just begun, and the more difficult is yet to come. â
Mowgli's face twitched twice. I almost gave away my life, you have just begun?" He laughed dryly: "Queen, in fact, I want to say that my money was snatched away by Chenying and I have to get it back." â
The queen was stunned and couldn't help laughing. "Got it, I'll knock him on for you. After speaking, he wrapped his cloak tightly, and walked out accompanied by Shi Yuling.
Wuji wiped a handful of cold sweat that didn't save zĂ i, glanced at Ying Yiran, and leaned over. "You see, I tried my best to marry you. Shouldn't you be rewarded?"
"There is still more than an hour before dawn, why are you in a hurry? Ying Yiran pushed away Wuji's hand. "Let's get down to business first, talk about your problems. â
"Am I not good enough?" Wuji was surprised: "It's perfect." â
"If it's perfect, you should just kill Tayashi. Ying Yiran shook his head: "Also, why didn't you kill Shi Dalong?"
Wuji said with an innocent face: "Your mother didn't let me kill him." â
"Pretend!" Ying Yiran bit her lip and glared at Wuji fiercely. "No matter how capable you are, if you can't follow the unified arrangement and always do things on your own, the queen mother can't really trust you. â
"Uh......" Wuji disguised: "I want to put a long line and catch a big fish......"
"It's also possible that there is a legacy left, just like Chenying. Ying Yiran said: "I didn't kill Chenying because of my limited strength, which is understandable." didn't kill Shi Dalong, but it was a mistake, a big mistake. Chop the grass without removing the roots, and the spring breeze blows and grows. â
Mowgli disagreed. Although he is not as thoughtful as Ying Yiran, but he does not kill Shi Dalong but it is not a whim, he has his plan, but he does not plan to talk to Ying Yiran at the moment.
He had just been cheated by their family of three, how could he still trust them so unreservedly.
Seeing this, Ying Yiran knew that Wuji was now psychologically resistant, and he couldn't listen to her words, so he ended the topic with interest. She leaned over and said with a red face: "Say, great meritorious, what reward do you want?"
