Chapter 128: Hunt and Kill
Back at King Ning's Mansion, Ye Ningxiang didn't delay for a moment, quickly packed her and Mu Xize's luggage, and even forgot to eat lunch, so she thought about rushing to Linzhou as soon as possible to realize her great cause of saving the people from fire and water and turning the tide.
But this day Mu Xize seems to be a little abnormal, obviously he didn't stay up late yesterday, but today is close to noon before he really woke up, although the person is awake, but the whole person has no energy, those peach blossom eyes are always half-open, as if they haven't rested for many days.
Ye Ningxiang thought that his previous injuries were not good, but simply explained to him that she would leave for Linzhou tomorrow and needed him to accompany her, and gave him medicine to the wound on his chest, so she let him go back to sleep.
Mu Xize was really cooperative, and after listening to Ye Ningxiang's explanation of tomorrow's arrangements in a daze, he lay down on the bed and fell asleep. And he slept until dawn the next day.
On this day, Mu Xize's spirit was much better than before, although he was still a little haggard on his face, he was already able to eat on time, and he could take the initiative to help Ye Ningxiang carry the necessary luggage on the road. Seeing Mu Xize's health improve, Ye Ningxiang's heart secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the person was more happy.
However, at this time, there were tens of thousands of people in the palace who did not want Ye Ningxiang to go to Rinzhou, and this person was Father Ye. Since yesterday, Father Ye knew that Ye Ningxiang was going back to her hometown of Rinzhou to solve the plague, he began to think about tea and dinner, and after one night, his eyes were already red and swollen, even to the point that it was difficult to see.
He stretched out his old hand and held Ye Ningxiang's palm tightly, obviously full of emotions but didn't say anything in the end, stood quietly in front of Ye Ningxiang for a while, reluctantly let go of his hand, and finally waved his hand at Ye Ningxiang to signal her to leave.
When parting, speechlessness is sometimes better than words, seeing Daddy Ye's heartbroken appearance, Ye Ningxiang's eyes couldn't help but shed tears, and then she was afraid that her emotions would be out of control, so she quickly got into the carriage.
The carriage was given by the emperor, the inside of the carriage was spacious, the carriage was stable, Ye Ningxiang was half lying in the carriage, her head resting on Mu Xize's legs, relaxing her body to the most comfortable level, very comfortable.
Wei Xun sat in a corner, looking at the appearance of Ye Ningxiang and Mu Xize Qinse and Ming, his heart was extremely sour, and he deliberately turned his head to look at the somewhat bleak scenery outside the window, forcing himself to adjust his emotions.
At this time, Mu Xize sat in the car, closing his eyes and resting. However, Ye Ningxiang and Wei Xun would never know that at this time, he was suffering from the pain of bursting brain pulp alone.
Afraid that Ye Ningxiang would be worried about the abnormal pain of his body, and even blame himself, he was trying his best to fight against the poison of the heart that had accumulated in his body for a long time with the perseverance of fighting the bone devouring nail for many years.
Mu Xize originally thought that with his half-demon physique, the poison of the heart would no longer have any effect, but he didn't expect that Rumo would dig out his heart because of a moment of uncontrol, so that the poison in his body would take advantage of the loophole. Now, he can only ask God for his blessing, so that he can survive the erosion of this poison.
After leaving Jing'an City and walking for half a day, Ye Ningxiang found something abnormal. Although her ears were not very good, she could hear clearly, and they had been following a carriage unhurriedly. Originally, Ye Ningxiang thought that the carriage just happened to take this road, but seeing that it followed them almost all the way, Ye Ningxiang felt faintly uneasy in her heart.
Wei Xun also seemed to have discovered the abnormality of the carriage, and said before Ye Ningxiang could speak first: "It's been almost a day's journey, let's rest in place!"
Then, the guards responsible for protecting Ye Ningxiang and his party got off the horse happily, and Ye Ningxiang and his party also got off the carriage and moved their muscles.
Seeing Ye Ningxiang get out of the carriage, the carriage behind them seemed to become excited, driving faster, and drove in front of Ye Ningxiang in the blink of an eye, but at this time, the carriage stopped.
As the curtain of the carriage was raised, a girl Ye Ningxiang knew very well walked out of the carriage, Mo Xiaoqin.
"What a coincidence, I was able to meet Sister Ning Xiang here!"
Mo Xiaoqin was shocked at first, and then her face was full of joy. After saying that, he turned his head and said something to the people in the car.
Then got off the bus in turn Rumo and Daddy Mo, as well as three large wooden boxes full of herbs.
Mo Xiaoqin smiled, a pair of pear vortices looming, "Daddy said that we can't stand idly by when our hometown is in trouble, so we are going to Rinzhou to solve the plague for the township." ”
Then, Mo Xiaoqin looked at the guards wearing battle armor beside Ye Ningxiang and continued, "Is my sister also going to Rinzhou?"
Ye Ningxiang previously thought that only she would have the idea of taking the initiative to go to Rinzhou to die, but she didn't expect that Father Mo and Mo Xiaoqin, an ordinary father and daughter, also had the courage to sacrifice for the people and the responsibility to do things for the people, and for a while, the image of their father and daughter in Ye Ningxiang's heart became shining.
Immersed in the noble personality of the Mo father and daughter, Ye Ningxiang didn't hear Mo Xiaoqin's question clearly, and seeing that Ye Ningxiang didn't mean to answer at all, Wei Xun helped to relieve the siege and said: "Yes, we went to Rinzhou to relieve the plague by the emperor's order. ”
If one of the two people in love is treated specially by the opposite sex, the other will always find out about this phenomenon at the first time, and then will be alert and even jealous.
Since he saw Mo Xiaoqin, Wei Xun has hardly taken his eyes off her, although he is not staring, but there will always be Mo Xiaoqin's figure within his sight.
Although it is not clear why Wei Xun did this, Rumo, who is a fox clan, discovered this when Wei Xun just got off the carriage, his hands clenched into fists, and his eyes stared at Rumo with a murderous aura that could not be concealed. Fortunately, Mo Xiaoqin was next to him, and Rumo couldn't bear to take out Wei Xun's heart.
It was getting late, if they couldn't rush to the next town as soon as possible, Ye Ningxiang and his party would probably have to spend the night in the wilderness, and after a short rest, they got into the carriage again. Under Ye Ningxiang's invitation several times, Mo Xiaoqin and Father Mo also got into Ye Ningxiang's carriage, and Rumo still sat in their original carriage in order to ensure that the three boxes of medicinal materials were not stolen by the coachman.
After continuing to walk forward for a while, Mu Xize, who had not spoken much, suddenly opened his eyes wide, his eyebrows were tightly locked, and he looked like he was facing a great enemy, "There are assassins!"
As soon as the words fell, a long arrow shot straight at Ye Ningxiang through the eaves of the car, but fortunately, Mu Xize reacted quickly, and turned around and pressed Ye Ningxiang under him, so he dodged this fatal blow.
However, the guards outside the car were not as lucky as Ye Ningxiang, they were already very tired after a day's journey, and now they were shocked by the sight of flying from nowhere, and they were in a panic, not knowing where they would go.
Under the violent impact of the rain of arrows, the guards responsible for protecting Ye Ningxiang and the others were already killed and wounded. At this moment, the attack of the bow and arrow stopped, and a pale red smoke that seemed to have a fragrance floated all over the sky, Ye Ningxiang couldn't find where the smoke came from, but as soon as the smoke entered the nasal cavity, it seemed to be drugged, numb, stiff limbs, and dizzy, even to the point that he couldn't even stand steadily.
Probably thinking that the smoke bombs dropped here had played a role, hundreds of black-clothed masked assassins hidden in the shadows walked up to Ye Ningxiang and his party with relaxed expressions.
"Xi Ze, Xi Ze, do you still have the strength?"
Ye Ningxiang knew Mu Xize's true identity well, and she actually hoped that this elixir would not have any effect on an alien like Mu Xize, and in this case, these assassins would never succeed.
After Ye Ningxiang finished speaking, she turned her head to look at Mu Xize, who was holding on to the wall of the carriage and barely standing there, only to see Mu Xize's face pale, his eyes were closed, his forehead was dripping with sweat, and he didn't even have the strength to speak.
Seeing hundreds of life-seeking people walking towards her, Ye Ningxiang was still able to calm down, but when she saw Mu Xize suddenly become the appearance in front of her, she was so panicked that she immediately burst into tears.
"Yuzawa, Yuzawa!"
Ye Ningxiang grabbed Mu Xize's clothes with difficulty, her voice trembled, it was just two short words, but it was full of too many worries and too many desires.
She always felt that Mu Xize was too abnormal in the past two days, and it always seemed to give people a feeling that the oil had run out, but she had been preparing for a trip to Linzhou before, but she simply thought that Mu Xize was so weak because of his old injuries, and now looking at his appearance weaker than herself, Ye Ningxiang suddenly had a very bad premonition in her heart.
Ye Ningxiang's worries were quickly interrupted by the assassins who attacked her, and the first batch of assassins who stepped forward with long knives slashed at Ye Ningxiang and others who had been drugged and their movements were restricted.
Ye Ningxiang didn't think about turning around suddenly and protecting Mu Xize in front of her, but what she didn't expect was that at the same moment as she turned around, Wei Xun stepped forward with difficulty, stretched out his arms, and firmly protected Ye Ningxiang and Mu Xize behind him.
Just as he closed his eyes and was about to die, a gust of wind suddenly blew out of nowhere, and the wind swept the sand and dust in the air, and the assassins also closed their eyes because of the wind and sand, and they did not dare to see.
When the wind and sand cleared, hundreds of Assassins looked at it, only to find that the group of lambs to the slaughter in front of them had all disappeared.
It was getting late, and after running around in the middle of the night, after making sure that he had escaped the pursuit of the assassins, Wei Xun, who was in charge of driving, pulled the reins with difficulty and forced the carriage to stop.
Inside the carriage, Mu Xize and Father Mo were already unconscious, and although Ye Ningxiang and Mo Xiaoqin were awake, they were so weak that they could no longer move a single inch because of the medicinal power.
Although her body couldn't move, Mo Xiaoqin's face was full of tears, because she had been crying for a long time and kept sobbing.
"Sister Xiaoqin, believe me, Rumo will be fine. ”
Ye Ningxiang knew that this Rumo was a nine-tailed fox with a body that was more powerful than Mu Xize and didn't know how much, and it must be no problem to deal with these assassins according to his powerful spells, seeing Mo Xiaoqin so sad, Ye Ningxiang comforted Mo Xiaoqin like this.
Who knew that her comfort made Mo Xiaoqin cry even more fiercely, and while crying, she said things that Ye Ningxiang didn't expect.
"I know that Rumo is not very human, but he was already so weak that he knelt on the ground as soon as he inhaled that gas, he endured it to keep him from fainting, and now he is left alone to fight against the hundreds of assassins in order to get us out, how can he find a way to survive with his strong body?"
Wei Xun, who had been guarding outside the car, listened to Mo Xiaoqin's words with a heavy crying tone, and his heart couldn't help but tremble, and a look of admiration rose in his eyes.
In the past, he always had endless hostility towards Rumo, and he wanted to find a way to make him disappear from this world forever. But such a murderous demon deliberately left behind to drag the assassins when their lives were at stake, creating a chance for them to escape.
People who have always lived like dung are willing to sacrifice their lives in order to save the lives of others, and sure enough, the truth and falsehood, right and wrong, in this world are always difficult to judge. Thinking of this, Wei Xun sighed and showed a smile that had experienced many vicissitudes.
