In the middle of the night, the carriage drove into a quaint town called Mochizuki Ancient Town.

The ancient town of Mochizuki is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and its population is simple and simple. The reason why it is called Mochizuki is because there is a thousand-year-old locust tree at the east end of the town, and not far below the tree there is an ancient well that has experienced the same age as the ancient locust tree.

Legend has it that under the ancient well of Mochizuki and the ancient locust tree is the dragon vein of this town, and the ancient well is the heart of the dragon's eye spring, which is the luck and aura of the entire ancient town.

Legends are legends, but although the population of Mochizuki Ancient Town is small, it is indeed an outstanding person. In just 100 years, there have been several talents here. Among them, the most famous and highest-ranking official is Xiao Sibai. And the old house of the Xiao family is on the side of the ancient acacia, next to the ancient well.

But the destination of the carriage was not Xiao Mansion, nor the bustling Yunlai Inn in the center of the town, but a quiet courtyard in the westernmost part of the town.

In the small courtyard, Mo Langyue and Zhu Yingying were arranged to be locked up in a dark cellar, where they met Yun Gu, who was also caught and locked up.

Yun Gu was not lightly injured and her body was weak. When she saw Mo Langyue and Zhu Yingying, she couldn't help but chuckle in her heart, and for a moment she almost had no hope, and her face turned even paler. But when she looked at Mo Langyue's calm and clear eyes, there was a flash of hope in her eyes. Besides, there are only two of them, isn't there Lu Yun among the four people, could it be that he brought medicine back to the capital?

But Yun Gu didn't feel at ease for long, and there was bad news in the cellar. The news said that Lu Yun had been seriously injured and was blocked from entering the city outside the capital.

It was the little girl who had delivered the news, and she had spoken from below from the exit of the cellar, in a crisp and pleasant voice, but with a thick display and mockery.

Yun Gu's eyes darkened when she heard this, and she counted the time, even if Lu Yun could break through the resistance and enter the city safely, he might not be able to catch up with the time.

"Perhaps, it's really too late. ”

Yun Gu's tone was a little depressed, and compared with the sweet and innocent sleeping face of the county lord beside her, her heart was even more sad. She is good at calculation and arrangement, and has worked hard for her county lord for more than ten years, and the last time she was in the palace, she was calculating with her own life. The journey has been quite smooth, so she is even more reluctant to break the calculation at this last juncture.

Seeing this, Mo Langyue comforted softly: "Don't worry, Mama, this may not be credible!"

Yun Gu was slightly stunned and nodded abruptly.

"It's ridiculous that death is coming, and you still don't believe it?"

A scolding was heard, and the square lid of the exit above the cellar was lifted, and a bright light shone in, followed by a pink skirt appearing above.

Mo Langyue raised her head and said: "Lu Yun's ability is convinced, I won't believe what you say." If you want to prove that your words are true...... Why don't we just use the facts?"

"How?"

"As a result, I will know in two days, it is better for the girl to wait patiently, and it is not too late to come and show off proudly!"

After being silent for a long time, I suddenly heard the above say: "Okay, let you rest for two more days, and then make you look good!"

As soon as the words fell, the exit above the cellar was closed with a "creak", and as the lid closed, the cellar was plunged into darkness.

The cellar was also silent for a while, except for the county lord Zhu Yingying, who was not concerned and was sleeping soundly, Mo Langyue and Yun Gu continued to cover in the dark, and they were all silently thinking about their hearts.

I don't know how long the time has passed, but I suddenly heard a sigh overflowing in the dark, and then Yun Gu's voice sounded.

"Yingying has been smart and sensible since she was a child, of course, Miss Qianjin's squeamishness is always inevitable, but she is squeamish and not pampered, which is very rare. A few years ago, the old body was worried that the emperor would marry her after Yingying and Xuan, ruining her life's happiness, so he came up with the idea to make her what she is now. The marriage was really blocked, but it still hurt her, so that a daughter county lord couldn't even have an ordinary marriage......"

Yun Gu babbled a lot, most of which was about her county lord, and she said in detail what her county lord liked to eat and what she didn't like to eat. He was the only voice in the entire cellar, and there was no response in the darkness, and no sound could be heard.

After a pause, he heard Yun Gu say quietly: "Although Brother Lang didn't speak, the old body knew that you had listened to what you had just said. As for why I told you, I think you know why better than I do. Ying Ying is innocent, I hope to be able to arrange her future while I am alive. ”

After a while, I suddenly heard Mo Langyue say: "Does Mama mean that she wants Langyue to protect the county lord?"

"Uh...... cough cough cough ......"

Yun Gu didn't expect Mo Langyue to say this, and her choked face turned red for a while. She knew that this was Mo Langyue's refusal knowing what she meant. But as shrewd as she was, she didn't know how to round the field for a while, so she had to keep silent by coughing.

The rest of the year was hard, with no food, no drink, and a dark cellar. But no matter how difficult it is, time passes bit by bit.

During this time, the girl in the pink dress appeared several times, and each time she was extremely provocative, and staged an arrogant and domineering drama at the only exit.

From beginning to end, none of the three people in the cellar responded to her for half a minute, and she was left to mess around alone. However, when the girl was annoyed, she actually whipped her hand and directly greeted Mo Langyue. If it weren't for the people above who were dissuaded, Mo Langyue didn't know how many whips he would have received. But since that time, the girl has not been seen again.

In the middle of the night after the second day, in the cellar where Mo Langyue and the three people were imprisoned, the top cover template was suddenly lifted from the inside, and then a figure jumped out of the cellar.

A moment later, I heard the neighing of the stables in the front yard, and dozens of tethered horses rushed out of the gate like crazy and fled in all directions.

After such a loud noise, the guards of the courtyard were also alert, and immediately stretched out their heads to check the cellar, but saw that the exit of the cellar was wide open, and there was no sound inside.

"People actually ran away?"

The most annoyed was the masked girl in pink, she called all the nurses with a long roar, and despite the opposition of others, she led the team out of the village to chase after her.

After the small courtyard was quiet, I saw a figure quietly coming to the exit of the cellar, and pulled out two people, one fat and one thin, with ropes from inside. Under the cover of night, they slowly disappeared into the darkness along the corner.
