Chapter 274: Suicide
"Oh my God, what's that?"
"What a monster!!"
As the procession advanced, the faces of the people changed. I saw that in front of the team, there was a nine-headed snake!! The body is huge, and the nine heads are held high, gently spitting snake letters.
The cold and terrifying gaze made everyone tremble and keep retreating.
On the head of the snake in the center, there are also small horns, which seem to sprout.
"It's a fierce beast recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, Xiangliu!" An erudite old minister gasped.
"It is rumored that the fierce beast is like a willow hydra, its ugly and brutal, extremely vicious, feeding on people, killing by nature. The divine envoy of the southern country, how could he bring Xiangliu out? ”
"Look, there's a man sitting on the head of the snake!"
Everyone was shocked to find that there was a young man sitting on the head of the snake.
"Come into the city, Xiangliu brutally kills and feeds on people, if it is really eaten, I am afraid that Your Majesty will not be able to do anything about it." As soon as the old man said this, everyone rushed towards the city.
Lu Yuanze didn't care at all, he had already fallen into madness, and there was a crazy smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Pei Shi, you should be damned, you hurt me! I have nothing, I have nothing!! Pei's fingertips trembled, and his breath became faint little by little.
Lu Jingyao stood by the river, crying helplessly and shouting, "Daddy, daddy, let your mother go." ”
"Help, help, is there anyone saving my mother. Please, save my mother...... Woo woo woo woo ......" Lu Jingyao cried and shouted.
She fell to her knees and cried helplessly.
The people lay down inside the gates, looking horrified at everything before them.
The hydra, almost taller than the city gates.
It's scary, it's terrifying.
"Mother, come on, save my mother......" Lu Jingyao knelt on the ground pitifully, and as soon as she turned around, she saw Hydra looking at her indifferently with cold eyes.
The beast ticked and drooled down.
The fierce beast's snort carried a trace of blood, and it even sniffed lightly on Lu Jingyao's body, and it used Lu Jingyao as food!
Lu Jingyao's face changed greatly in fright, her little face was snow-white, and her whole body was trembling. She knelt on the ground and cried and begged, "Big brother, big brother, please save your mother." Save Yaoyao's mother......"
Her eyes twitched slightly when she saw the sign on the carriage in the procession.
That's the national emblem of the southern country.
The little man knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing, crying for help to the tall Nan Mubai: "Big brother, please ......"
If you don't know, I'm afraid you will feel pity.
When kowtowing.
The pendant hanging around the neck slipped suddenly.
Jingle all over the ground.
Lu Jingyao cried and picked up the copper coin: "Big brother, I'll give you money, I'll give you money." This is my family's ancestral heirloom, I'll give you money, can you save my mother? ”
Nan Mubai's eyes fell on the copper coin, and his expression suddenly froze.
"Stop!!" The young man's clear voice revealed a hint of coldness.
A few guards walked out of the team, directly broke Lu Yuanze's fingers, and rescued Pei Shi, who was dying and breathing, with only one breath left.
Pei's dead dog collapsed on the ground, gasping for air.
The eye sockets were already bloodshot, and the red was terrifying.
On Pei's snow-white and slender throat, the traces of bruises were shocking.
"Ahem......"
"Vomit ......" Pei's throat was so sore that he couldn't speak, he covered his throat and kept coughing, every time he coughed, his throat seemed to be cut with a knife.
Almost, just a little, she was strangled to death by Lu Yuanze.
The saliva she spat out was stained with blood.
Lu Yuanze hated her.
"Ahh Lu Yuanze hugged his hands and wailed to the ground, trembling in pain, curled up.
"Who are you? How dare you hurt the court officials! The green tendons between Lu Yuanze's foreheads bulged high, and his fingers were swollen and terrifying.
How dare they break his fingers!
It hurts, it hurts......
"Imperial court officials? ......Shh The court officials of Beizhao, even if they are killed, what can Emperor Xuanping do to me? Nan Mubai chuckled.
He looked back at Lu Jingyao.
Copper plate in hand......
"Little girl, where did you get the copper money in your hand?" Nan Mubai's eyes narrowed slightly, and he stepped forward to take the copper coin in Lu Jingyao's hand.
There are only three copper coins, strung together with red threads, like a talisman.
The southern copper coin is engraved with the national emblem, and at this moment, the three pieces in his hand are the southern copper coins.
Lu Jingyao sobbed and said, "Big brother, it's my mother's thing." ”
She pulled it out of her bosom and pulled out another money bag.
Nan Mubai took the money bag, and the corners of his lips hooked slightly.
The money bag had been washed and whitened, and even the pattern drawn by the gold thread had been removed. But you can vaguely see the original appearance.
He untied the money pouch from his waist and put the two money bags together for comparison.
The worn-out one, missing the gold thread, but it looks ......
Same.
"Big brother, your money bag is the same as my money bag...... Lu Jingyao raised her head, her little face was stained with tears, and she looked at Nan Mubai pitifully.
"Where did you get your money bag?" Nan Mubai played with the money bag.
These two money bags are actually a little different.
The worn-out one, embroidered with a golden dragon, is a royal thing.
It was something that the emperor's grandfather used to use back then.
There is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get them.
"This is my mother's thing, she gave it to Yaoyao." Lu Jingyao cried and went up to hug the half-dead Pei Shi.
"Mother, Yaoyao is so scared, mother, you must hold on. Yaoyao only has you, mother, ......" She looked at Nan Mubai helplessly.
Nan Mubai glanced at Pei's family, who didn't know whether he was alive or dead on the ground.
The eyebrows and eyes are slightly raised.
"Little girl, what's your name?" Nan Mubai did not see the jade pendant of the southern country, and there was always a trace of doubt in his heart.
"Big brother, I'...... The surname is Lu, and his name is Lu Jingyao. I also have an older brother named Lu Jinghuai. Lu Jingyao said in a low voice.
"Daddy wants to kill us, he doesn't want Yaoyao, Yaoyao has no family." As he spoke, he sobbed and cried.
Luckily, she noticed something strange about the copper coin.
Fortunately, she had been waiting for the arrival of the people of the southern kingdom early.
She stepped forward and leaned against her mother.
Pei Shi opened his eyes weakly, and vaguely saw Nan Mubai pinching the money bag in a daze.
She seemed to have some impression that her mother had told her when she was dying.
At that time, before she was born, her father died young.
At that time, Mrs. Pei had just entered Beijing and became the Marquis of Zhongyong.
The mother went to Beijing with her stomach held up and asked her for child support. If she doesn't give it, she aborts the child. If you give it, you will leave it for the Pei family.
The Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion had just entered Beijing, and he had not yet gained a firm foothold and gave money, but not much.
On the way home, the mother met an old lady holding a baby. Seeing that the other party was shivering from the cold, and he couldn't live long, he simply snatched the other party's money bag and died, and the baby didn't dare to take a second look.
When he returned home, he found the money bag embroidered with gold thread.
She was afraid of being found and did not dare to sell her money bag. And he removed the gold thread and exchanged it for a lot of loose silver.
When he gave birth to himself, he remarried someone else.
Pei's heart rose with a hint of joy, that child had already frozen to death in the snow, right?
Before the smile on her face froze, she saw Nan Mu Bai snap her fingers suddenly.
