Last winter, Jinglouxue originally wanted to carve jade into a jade pendant and give it to Baiyue Xi as a birthday gift. Mo Shuruo remembered that Hanni jade was won by Jinglouxue from gambling in the jade quarry. Unfortunately, there were many in the middle.
It happened so suddenly that the carving was never completed.
Mo Shuruo focused his gaze again and reached out to hold the jade pendant in his hand.
Since Jinglou Xue went crazy, this jade pendant has never been carved or given away. But I don’t know how it ended up in Baiyue Xi’s hands.
He still carried this jade with him after his death, so there could be no one else except Baiyue Xi.
She frowned deeply.
Things turned out to be as rumored, did Jinglouxue get sick and kill him by mistake?
Jinglouxue's memory was intermittent and messy, and sometimes there were even false memories instilled by the woman in black robes. Even Mo Shuruo had a headache just thinking about it, let alone how confused Jinglouxue would be.
Suddenly a loud roar came from outside the tomb: "Suruo, where are you?!"
She hurriedly put away the jade pendant in her hand.
"Senior brother is here..." Hearing the commotion outside, Mo Shuruo urged Yan Jue, who had been standing beside him, "Senior brother must have brought someone here. You should leave quickly. It will be bad if people from the Baiyue family see you.
"
"Yeah." He nodded and flew out of the tomb in a flash.
Mo Shuruo breathed a sigh of relief and ran out, "I'm here."
Maybe Xiang Jingyi was also afraid of what happened to Xinling last time, so he really brought a lot of guards with him this time.
He came after hearing the sound, stopped, and after making sure she was okay, he glanced at the tomb. It didn't matter if she didn't look at it. He couldn't help but criticize her at the first glance, "Who said that just looking at it from a distance can ruin people's tombs?"
You opened it and you still have the nerve to threaten me!"
Mo Shuruo looked at him with a naive smile and waved to the accompanying guards for help.
"Isn't it because I can break through the case as soon as possible?" Mo Shuruo followed him and muttered, "Besides, if you follow me, can I still enter the tomb?"
Xiang Jingyi took a moment to reply, "Then I dare to ask Miss Mo, have you made any progress?"
She compared a section of her little finger and said, "A little bit."
The leader of the guards came out of the tomb and called a few helpers to go in and carry the coffin lid that had been overturned by Yan Jue.
Xiang Jingyi stood at the door and glanced inside. When he turned back, his eyes were strange, and his words were full of admiration and speechlessness, "You lifted the coffin before I married you. If I really married you, how could you still..."
Don't cause trouble in the underworld...Tsk, tsk, if this matter gets spread, will anyone dare to marry you..."
Mo Shuruo threatened, "If you really can't get married, I will come to harm you."
Xiang Jingyi begged for mercy, "You'd better let me go."
The two of them exchanged words with each other and had a great time bickering.
When Xiang Jingyi brought people out, he only said that he was to inspect the nearby area. Baiyue Marquis and Mo Gong did not know that Mo Shuruo had come to Wangsunling. Fearing that Mo Gong would be worried if he knew about it, Mo Shuruo apologized to Xiang Jingyi.
No, I gave everyone a lot of persuasion to get this matter over with.
After returning to Baiyue Mansion, everything seemed like it had never happened.
***
A group of people walked leisurely through several peaks near Lingnan. Although they tried their best to keep a low profile, the neat formation of the more than twenty guards accompanying them and their uniform dark green uniforms all revealed the powerful force behind them.
Three carriages were pulled by three carriages at a fast pace, with strong lines and fine lines. A gray flag flying in the wind was embroidered with the word "ink" on the shafts of the carriages.
In the carriage at the head, a beautiful woman frowned slightly, "Brother Ting, I always feel uneasy. Is there anything going on at home?" She was dressed in a dark green shorts and culottes, which made her look dashing, and her hair was tied up in a high bun.
, showing cleanliness both inside and outside.
The middle-aged man next to him is wearing a brown-red robe with arrow sleeves. Although he has two beards under his nose, it is not difficult to tell that he was also a handsome young man when he was young.
"We will finish our work and come back as soon as possible. Nothing will happen. Don't worry."
"But I'm still worried. Shuruo is only seven years old. If something happens, who will protect her?"
The man patted the back of her hand and comforted her: "Even the next few months of clothing were prepared for her before departure, so there is nothing to worry about. Besides, her father and third brother are still at home. She will not cause trouble.
the best."
The woman reluctantly comforted herself in this way, nodding her head and leaning on his shoulder.
The quiet carriage suddenly heard the sound of tapping on the wooden board. The two looked at each other and immediately stood up and opened the secret compartment under the couch.
As soon as the wooden board was removed, a small huddled figure was revealed.
"Shruo!" the woman screamed, reaching out to take the girl out of the secret compartment.
The man's face was serious, he looked at the girl and glared angrily: "Who told you to hide in there!"
The girl hurriedly hid behind the woman, opened her big eyes, and whispered: "It's me..."
The woman turned to look at the girl, "What are you doing hiding here?"
The girl pouted and said: "I played hide and seek with everyone this morning, but they were so useless that I even fell asleep in the carriage..."
"How dare you say that!"
The man was about to fight, but the girl held her head and screamed: "Ah! Mom, save me."
The woman grabbed the man and said, "She's already here, so what's the point of beating her? Hurry up and write a letter to tell your father so that he won't worry."
The anger was still lingering, but his beloved wife stopped him, so he could only say, "I, Mo Shouting, will be defeated by you two in this life!"
Seeing that he was not going to do anything, the girl grinned and jumped out to please him: "Sir, I have learned how to write letters. I can write them. Daddy, please write them for me."
Mo Shouting looked at Xue Zhixuan on the side, and looked at her eyes to indicate that he agreed. Then he handed her the brush and said, "If you don't know how to write, don't cry."
"would not!"
The girl climbed up on the couch a few times, lay down on the low table and began to write attentively. While writing, she muttered: "Master - Master -, I am here with my parents. My mother told you not to worry. I will tell you quietly,
Daddy wanted to hit me just now, but luckily mom is here. Daddy is most afraid that mommy will be angry, so he doesn't dare to hit me. When Shuruo comes back, I will bring you osmanthus candy, but I won't give it to daddy."
The two of them couldn't laugh or cry when they looked at the content of the letter. Seeing her grabbing the letter and handing it over, Mo Shouting said, "Has it been written?"
The girl nodded, "Okay." After thinking about the content, she got busy and shouted: "No peeking!"
Mo Shouting took the letter and said with a helpless smile: "Don't peek." He took the brush and swiped it a few times, leaving two words of joyful handwriting at the end.
At this moment, the carriage shook violently and stopped instantly. Xue Zhixuan hugged her daughter and glanced at Mo Shouting hastily, "What's going on!"
Outside the car, a Mohist disciple shouted: "There is a bandit attack, everyone, be careful!" The sound of sword fighting echoed through the valley for a moment.
Mo Shouting said: "Protect your daughter, I'll go out and take a look." The next moment, he grabbed the sword and flew out.
The group of sneak attackers were dressed as bandits, but their martial arts skills were not simple. They did not respond to the food on the carriage. As soon as Mo Shouting appeared, they all drew their swords and came towards him.
Mo Shouting frowned. This was no bandit. They were clearly here to assassinate him. He unsheathed his sword and moved everyone away from the carriage with a few steps. After a few moves, Mo Shouting unexpectedly discovered that these people were actually interested in his swordsmanship.
It was clear that every time he fired a sword, it was easily resolved by the opponent.
Seeing that something was wrong, Xue Zhixuan hurriedly carried the girl into the secret compartment and told her, "Stay inside, don't make a sound and don't come out."
The girl looked up at her and said, "Mom."
She felt a pain in her heart. No wonder she felt uneasy along the way. Is this the reason for the uneasiness? The attackers from outside were ruthless in killing them. If this was the case, they might not be able to escape.
Thinking of this, tears immediately blurred her eyes, and she hugged her daughter hard, "Uncle, can you listen to mother?"
The uneasy mood seemed to affect the girl, and even her answers were trembling. She could only nod desperately, "Well, Shuruo is obedient."
Xue Zhixuan stared at her daughter's face closely, "Promise me, no matter what happens outside, you won't make a sound, let alone come out."
"good."
He reluctantly closed the secret compartment, lifted up the two green-handled swords on the couch and lifted the curtain out. In the distance, Mo Shouting had been struck by countless swords, and his figure was in a wretched state, and the color of his brown-red robe was even darker.
"Brother Ting!" She exclaimed, drew her sword and struck. With both swords in hand, no one could capture her for a moment.
In the blink of an eye, no one of the Mohist disciples survived, but the two of them were still struggling.
Suddenly I heard someone shouting loudly during the fight: "I didn't expect this girl to be quite pretty."
A one-eyed man said: "Brother, if I can capture her, I will reward you."
At that moment, there was a big man watching the battle, and he sneered: "Okay!"
The one-eyed man smiled evilly, "Let me catch her within ten moves."
Xue Zhixuan's face was pale. She had never experienced such insults since she was a child. She immediately shouted angrily: "Evil thief!"
It's just that she, a woman, could not withstand the fierce attacks of three or five big men. After a few attacks, her movements slowly slowed down, and taking advantage of this gap, the man knocked her away with a palm.
"Mei Xuan!" Mo Shouting was too busy thinking about himself, and when he was distracted, another wound appeared on his body.
Xue Zhixuan fell to the ground in embarrassment, spit out a mouthful of blood, and yelled in pain: "Leave me alone!"
Seeing that the woman could no longer resist, the one-eyed man strode closer and squatted down next to her.
"If you obey me, maybe I can help you keep that man's body intact."
Several big men around him raised their heads and laughed when they heard this.
Xue Zhixuan bit her teeth and quietly touched the dagger she carried with her. Without thinking, she quickly stabbed the man in front of her, but in the next second, she received a sharp kick in the chest. Xue Zhixuan flew back, feeling that her internal organs were
All moved.
He fell to the ground again, and now he didn't even have the strength to get up.
"Mei Xuan!" Mo Shouting let out a mournful cry.
The one-eyed man was so angry that his eyes were red. This moment happened so quickly. Not only did his body hurt from the knife, but his face was also hurt. When he saw two people holding her, he strode over and without hesitation raised his fist and broke her two fists.
Ribs, holding the dagger he had just pulled out from her abdomen, cursed while shining it on her cheek, leaving several traces of blood.
This scene, so desperate, was seen by Mo Shuruo, who had just sneaked out of the carriage and took advantage of the chaos.
The close relative who had been with her for seven years was disfigured and died a tragic death right in front of her eyes.
"Ah -" Mo Shouting roared, raised his hand and slashed several people with his sword at the people nearby. Only then did everyone wake up, and hurriedly reorganized their energy to attack.
After several fights, although everyone injured him, he also suffered many casualties.
There was a muffled sound of a sharp weapon breaking into flesh from behind. Mo Shouting's movements froze, and his eyes slowly moved to his chest. The strong man known as the boss exerted another force, and the sword penetrated completely from behind.
Blood flowed from his mouth, and everyone saw him laughing like crazy. Who knew that he suddenly struck a sword with his backhand, and the big man hurriedly retreated, but in the end he was a step too slow. His right thumb was cut off, and the big man covered his bleeding right hand.
, looking at Mo Shouting's fallen figure, he shouted: "There are hidden compartments in the car, search carefully, don't let anyone go."
"Yes." They shouted loudly in unison, and everyone quickly dispersed and ran towards the three carriages.
Unexpectedly, one of the Mohist disciples who fell to the ground was still alive. When no one was paying attention, he stretched out his hand to sound a signal bomb. With a chirp, red jumped into the sky. With the sound of explosion, the disciple's head was blown away by the big man.
The hand fell with a knife.
Blood spurted all over him, but the big man seemed not to feel anything. His eyes were about to burst, and his voice was trembling, "Look for it quickly! Find it quickly!"
Someone smiled coldly: "It's just a signal bomb, what's so scary about it?"
The big man raised his hand and slapped the man back several steps, "Mo disciples are all over the world, and here is close to Lingnan. I'm afraid that old fox Mo Li will arrive in half an hour. Do you think we can escape by then?"
Come on!"
Shocked by his anger, everyone cheered up and searched all the hidden compartments of the three carriages. Indeed, no one was seen alive. The group of people quickly evacuated the scene in a panic.
The world seemed to be quiet for a long time, until her hands no longer had the strength to support her, and she fell from the bottom of the carriage to the ground. She recovered for a while, sobbed, got up and ran towards Xue Zhixuan's body, "Mother——"
Among the corpses on the ground, the woman's face was completely blurred. The scene was so horrifying that she looked pale and fell to the ground in fright. Suddenly, she heard a low and feeble cry not far away.
"Shu Ruo..."
The girl stood up again and stumbled to Mo Shouting's side, her face full of tears, "Dad..."
"Don't cry." He stretched out his hand to wipe away her tears, but only left a bright red blood stain on her face. "If I are from the Mo family, even if my parents are not around, I will still be strong.
wrong?"
The girl just cried, her voice intermittent, "Uncle, if you don't want my mother to die... Dad, please bring your mother back..."
Knowing that the Mo family is walking on a knife's edge all their lives, they are used to seeing life and death, but now they are regretting why they were always so harsh to her in the past. Mo Shouting reluctantly nodded, "Dad, I promise you, I will find your mother. But Shuruo
I also have to promise daddy something."
She gritted her teeth and nodded vigorously.
Seeing him pull something out from the grass under him, it turned out to be a human thumb with blood dripping from it! He pulled out the jade ring on it and stuffed it into her clenched fist, "Take it and find the real culprit for my parents."
.”
The girl hugged him fiercely and cried: "I don't want it. As soon as I agree, dad will leave Shu Ruo alone. If uncle wants dad to live, Shu Ruo doesn't want dad to die..."
"Uncle, if you obey me, dad just wants you to go back and find grandpa. Do you know if you find grandpa, dad can be saved?"
She knelt down again and asked, "Really?" while crying.
"Daddy won't lie to you." He pushed her hard, "Run south, the faster the better, otherwise dad may break his promise."
"Okay, daddy must wait for Shuruo to come back."
Seeing him nodding in agreement, the girl hurriedly got up and ran in the direction she was going. As she ran, she couldn't help but look back to make sure he was still looking at her. Then she quickened her pace and rushed into the rocky valley.
The sun was setting in the west, and the mountains full of strange rocks and dead branches seemed to reveal a sense of darkness. Although I was scared, I didn't dare to stop, and my trembling voice kept comforting myself.
"Mo Shuruo, daddy is still waiting for you, you must find grandpa."
I don’t know how long I ran when a voice suddenly came from far behind me, “Boss, there is indeed someone alive!”
The girl was startled and ran forward with all her strength. "Daddy!" A scream echoed throughout the valley.
The returning bird fell into the forest, quacking wildly.
There was no way forward on the rocky hillside. A group of people quickly caught up with her, sneering and approaching slowly, "As expected of the Mo family, they even deceived us."
"A fish that slips through the net can't escape after all, let alone just a small fish, haha..."
The girl stared at a pair of big eyes full of tears, cowered and moved two steps towards the cliff, "Don't come here... My grandpa is very powerful. If you dare to hurt me... he will definitely make you unable to survive and unable to die.
.”
Someone snorted coldly, "You know how to intimidate people at such a young age!"
Those who were impatient drew their swords and said, "I want to see how that old guy Mo Li makes us live but not die."
As the cold light approached, the girl was so frightened that she stepped back. Her feet fell into the air, and her body fell backwards involuntarily. She suddenly screamed: "Ah——"
"Don't kill me! Grandpa, grandpa, save me!"
In the dark night, shouts suddenly broke out one after another in the silent Baiyue Mansion. Everyone who was sleeping woke up from their sleep. After a while, they all came towards the north wing.
"Suruo!" Xiang Jingyi was the first to arrive in her room, while Mo Shuruo, wearing a white tunic, was swinging his sword around the room like crazy.
"What's wrong with you? Shu Ruo!"
She pointed her sword and yelled: "Don't come here! My grandfather will kill you, he will definitely kill you!"
Marquis Baiyue arrived almost together with Duke Mo. Seeing this, Duke Mo looked worried and called out urgently, "Shu Ruo!"
"Grandpa" she didn't seem to know anyone, but as soon as she saw Mr. Mo, she threw away her sword and rushed over. She knelt down in front of him and held him tightly, her eyes wide open and her expression scary, "Grandpa, daddy is injured.
Daddy wants me to take you to rescue him. Mom is dead, and they want to kill me..."
Mr. Mo was in tears, holding one of her arms and nodding, "Grandpa knows, uncle, don't be afraid, grandpa is here, and as long as grandpa is here, no one can hurt you anymore."
Because of his words, Mo Shuruo finally calmed down and relaxed, and the next moment he closed his eyes and fainted.
Xiang Jingyi quickly caught the fallen Mo Shuruo and placed her back on the bed.
"What's going on?" Mr. Mo let out a low roar, not angry but intimidating himself, which frightened several Mo disciples outside.
"Miss Mo... went to Wangsun Ling, and..." At this point, the guard carefully glanced at Baiyue Marquis who was standing aside, lowered his head and said, "I also saw the remains of the second young master."
