In the palace.

Xiao Yongyan was shocked when he saw the injuries on Xiao Yonghan's face. Someone dared to hurt his royal brother!

Xiao Yonghan told him what happened, and Xiao Yongyan was furious. The assassin of the last heaven-sacrifice ceremony had not been caught, and this time he openly kidnapped members of the royal family. It was simply too outrageous!

When he knew that Mo Ruxue sacrificed herself so that Xiao Yonghan could be rescued, he couldn't help but take another high look at Mo Ruxue.

"The emperor's sister-in-law has her own destiny. Brother, don't be too anxious. I will send people to look for her together. Even if Kyoto is turned upside down, we will still find her for you."

Xiao Yonghan nodded, and when he heard Xiao Yongyan mentioning the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony, he suddenly remembered that the leader of the kidnappers was the one who wanted to kill him with an arrow at the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony that day.

"The people who kidnapped my king last night were the same group of people who held the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony that day. What did they want?"

Xiao Yongyan pondered for a long time: "Could he be from Mohe country?"

"No, their skills are indeed from the Central Plains, and their accents and behaviors are no different from those of their own country. These thieves are acting a bit strangely. Please give me a good look. The emperor summoned his ministers to the palace. I don't know why?"

Mentioning this matter, Xiao Yongyan had a smile on his face: "The Mohe Kingdom has agreed to sign a contract. The two countries will no longer meet each other at war for twenty years. In these years, the Mohe Kingdom has been watching with eagerness, waiting for the contract to be signed.

Now, you can take a good rest."

"Then what are their conditions?"

"Fifty thousand stones of grain, 20,000 pigs and sheep, return a city," Xiao Yongyan said softly with a smile.

Xiao Yonghan also breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. When will we sign the contract? I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort to get here and there."

"This is their business. There is a snowstorm in their country. We are not in a hurry, haha."

Outside the door, the father-in-law came to report that it was Prime Minister Qin who wanted to see him and had urgent matters.

Xiao Yongyan asked his father-in-law to announce his entry, and Xiao Yonghan sat next to him.

Prime Minister Qin, who was over fifty years old, was thin and walked briskly. After entering the imperial study room and bowing down, he took out the book and showed it to Xiao Yongyan.

When Xiao Yongyan saw it, his face suddenly changed, and he shouted with a livid face: "This kind of thing happened, why didn't you report it in advance! What do you do for food!"

He was so angry that he threw the memorial on Prime Minister Qin. Prime Minister Qin wiped the sweat from his forehead and said tremblingly: "Wei Chen also just received it..."

"If we continue to investigate this matter thoroughly, we will find out within ten days who deliberately concealed it and did not report it! Once found out, everyone involved will be severely punished!"

"I obey the order," Prime Minister Qin bowed and bowed out.

Xiao Yonghan stood up, picked up the memorial and took a look at it. He frowned and said in confusion: "What the princess said turned out to be true..."

"Brother Emperor, what did you say? You said that the Emperor's wife knew about this in advance!"

"She mentioned it to me and asked me to pay close attention to the memorials from the south, saying that there would be a locust plague in the south..."

Xiao Yongyan was also confused. The memorial just arrived in Kyoto today, how could she know about it in advance?

Under the cliff, there were trees that had not been pruned for many years, with strips of aerial roots hanging down, like the long flowing beards of several aging old people. Mo Ruxue finally woke up, with a dull pain in the back of his head. Thinking back to what happened last night, he couldn't help but feel a twinge of pain.

Afraid.

Last night, the leader didn't touch her, but let in a wretched man from outside.

"Brother, my hand hurts so much, can you untie it for me? I'm a weak woman and I can't run away," she said, lying on the thatch coquettishly and ogling the man.

"Okay, I feel bad for having such tender hands tied up!" The man smiled lewdly and untied the rope from her body.

The man rushed forward in a hurry, but she ducked away with a sweet smile. When the man wasn't paying attention, she picked up the silver hairpin on her head and pointed it at the man's throat, lifting the hairpin with her hand.

The man didn't shout a word, he covered his neck and pointed at Mo Ruxue with wide eyes, staggered two steps and fell down.

This was Mo Ruxue's first time to kill someone. She was so frightened that her heart was pounding. She couldn't help retching several times when she looked at his body. It took a while before she calmed down.

Hearing footsteps outside, she picked up his knife and hid behind the curtain.

The people outside waited for a long time and heard no movement. They opened the curtain and looked inside. She tried her best to chop at the man, but unfortunately she missed the mark because of her shaking hands and only cut his arm.

The person covered her wound and ran outside. About ten people came over and surrounded her.

The leader ripped off his own face scarf and said ferociously: "You bitch, you dare to kill my brother! I want you to be a sensible person and remember my face. I will send you down to accompany him later!"

"Then it depends on whether you have that ability! Otherwise, I will send you down to accompany him. You have been with him for a long time. We are good friends and we will be together even if we die!"

Mo Ruxue could only bluff now. With so many desperadoes, the chance of escaping was slim.

Someone in the group looked back and suddenly saw dots of fire at the foot of the mountain.

"Boss, people from the government are chasing me!" One of them was a little panicked.

"Why panic! Kill this bitch first and then retreat."

Mo Ruxue was a woman fighting against a dozen men. After a while, her strength gave out and she was forced to the edge of a cliff.

She looked down the cliff. There was a slope of earth on the edge of the cliff, and there were some old trees growing on the edge of the cliff.

The leader stood at the front, pressing each other step by step: "Humph, I didn't expect it to happen again! No matter how powerful you are, you will definitely die today!"

"What a beautiful thought. Even if you die, I won't die! This girl will leave first!"

She jumped down, and although a few trees protruding from the edge of the cliff blocked part of the falling force, she still hit the rocks at the bottom of the cliff and fainted.

She was in pain all over, and the branches had torn her clothes. There were many small cuts on her body, and the wounds on her arms were still bleeding.

I forced myself to sit up, and saw that this place was deserted, not even a human figure.

Looking up at the mountain, she saw that it was at least several meters high from the top of the mountain. It was impossible to climb up, so she had to walk slowly to the bottom of the cliff.

I don’t know if that guy Xiao Yonghan is looking for her. Alas, with a beauty like Chu Chu by his side, I’m afraid no one will care about her even if she dies here.

Thinking about it, she had a miserable life here. She had suffered enough because of the vicious female supporting character, and everyone was on guard against her. Thinking of this made her feel sad, and she couldn't help but have red eyes.

"Why are you crying? There is no future!" He scolded himself and forcefully put back his tears.

In modern times, she has been dependent on others since she was a child. Her father did not care for her and her mother did not love her. She has long developed a strong character and rarely sheds tears.

There was a rustling sound in the woods nearby, and she immediately stood up alertly. It couldn't be some kind of wild beast. She was unarmed now, but what should she do?

She was looking around for something that could be used as a weapon. There was a thick branch not far from her feet. She picked it up and hid behind a big rock.

The sound got closer and closer, and there was a black thing, who didn't know what it was doing in the grass, sticking its butt out.

"Is it a black bear?" Mo Ruxue looked ahead attentively.

A sudden sound of wind passed by her ears, and a snake fell on her body.

"Ah! Help!" She jumped three feet high and jumped out from behind the stone.

"What's the ghost's name? It's already dead!"

Mo Ruxue took a closer look and saw that the snake was black and red, more than one meter long, with seven inches and its head penetrated. She touched her chest and was in shock. She had been frightened enough these days, and she was really afraid that she would get sick.

heart disease.

This person could kill the snake with stones from such a long distance. It seemed that she was very powerful.

Opposite her stood a girl wearing a black shirt, with dark skin, a small face, and a pair of lively eyes. She had a piece of dogtail grass in her mouth and a bamboo basket in her hand and was looking her up and down.

"Who are you and why are you here? There are many snakes and insects here, especially poisonous snakes."

When Mo Ruxue heard that there was a snake, she looked around in fright and stammered: "I...I was pushed down. Can you send me back? I will be rewarded heavily."
