Jinglouxue is dead after all. Her life is in the hands of Fang Baimei and Jing Zhaoxian. Mo Shuruo can't save her, and she can't save herself. She was born with no place to come, and after she dies, she turns into dust and has no place to go.
But it's good to be clean. It washes away the messy things in front of you and cuts off the family ties and ties in the past life.
A few days later, the Mo family quickly left Baiyue, leaving Mo Shuruo alone in Xinling City.
Mo Shuruo always believed that Baiyue Xi was alive, but she hated herself for not finding him for Jinglouxue. Now that Jinglouxue was dead, it was time for him to show up. He was waiting for her in the desert while holding her memorial tablet.
In the hospital for a long time, I just firmly believe that he will come. For the sake of Jinglouxue, Baiyue Xi will definitely come.
The sun has passed, and a stick of incense is almost finished burning on the desk under the tree in the courtyard.
She was sitting on the steps by the door, holding the memorial tablet, looking extremely pitiful.
After waiting for too long, she was a little discouraged. She lowered her head and placed the tablet on the black package beside her. When she raised her head, her eyes glanced under the tree again and found that a new stick of incense had been replaced in the incense burner.
Mo Shuruo was so shocked that he immediately stood up, walked a few steps, and looked around a few more times.
"Are you looking for Baiyue Xi?"
She turned around and saw Yan Jue sitting where she had just been sitting, looking up at her.
"It's a pity he didn't come."
She was sure: "He will come."
He smiled and did not comment on her words.
"Do you blame me?"
"Eh?" She looked confused.
"The story of Princess Nanyue's life." He looked into the distance and said softly: "At that time, I asked Yuyao to come to Baiyue once. On the day of the fire, she passed by and saved her. I asked Yuyao a few days ago,
Only then did she remember that she didn't know that the person was the Princess of Nanyue, nor did she know that the person who set the fire was Jinglou Xue."
"Even if we knew earlier that Jinglouxue was not the princess of Baiyue, it would not be of much help to the incident." The matter had been settled, and these things were meaningless. What was surprising was that he actually asked her if she blamed him for this matter.
, he couldn’t be blamed in the first place. “At least your unintentionality and Miss Yuanyao’s kindness reduced Jinglou Xue’s sins.”
He smiled: "So be it."
He stood up, walked to her side, looked at the courtyard door and said, "Someone is coming."
Mo Shuruo looked as he did, and Jing Zhaoxian and a young woman came into view majestically.
"Miss Mo."
Mo Shuruo said: "Master Jing, is there something wrong?"
He said: "I want to get back Lou Xue's tablet and relics."
She was a little funny: "What does taking it back mean?"
Realizing that she was disrespectful to Jing Zhao, the strange woman frowned and said, "Why don't you know any manners? My sister is from Jing family. Shouldn't we take back her tablet?"
"Jing Ling." The woman was about to say something, but Jing Zhaoxian stopped her and looked at Mo Shuruo. He put down his identity and said: "As a father, I am indeed incompetent, but Lou Xue will always be my daughter.
Miss Wangmo agreed and gave me a chance to make good offerings to her spiritual place."
Feeling uncomfortable as the two of them sang in white and then black, Mo Shuruo said with a cold face, "Her Jinglouxue memorial tablet is not worthy of being enshrined in your Jing family ancestral hall."
"you……"
There was a sudden sound at the door of the courtyard, the woman's voice paused, and all four of them looked at the person who was slowly walking in.
Mo Shuruo had seen Baiyue Xi countless times in Jinglouxue's memory, and each time he was always graceful and graceful, but the man in front of him was handsome and dressed in white, but he was so weak that he needed help to get closer.
He first smiled and nodded to Jing Zhaoxian, then looked at her and said, "You are Mo Shuruo, Miss Mo, right?"
Mo Shuruo hurriedly came to his senses, "It's me."
His smile was still warm and humble, as if the person who survived like that was not him.
"I'm here to see her."
Mo Shuruo said: "I know, I have been waiting for you." She turned around and walked to the steps, taking the black package and the tablet.
Baiyue Xi took the tablet, stretched out his sharp-knuckled fingers and slowly touched the inscriptions on it, with the corners of his mouth slightly twitching and his eyes full of tenderness.
Mo Shuruo handed over the jade pendant, "Do you still remember this?"
He stretched out his hand to take it, "Of course, I remember everything about her. What was not formed before was carved by her newly, right?"
Mo Shuruo looked at his smile and suddenly felt the urge to cry. He stuffed the entire package into the hands of the boy beside him, "These are all her things, yes, and this."
He took out a ring and handed it to him, "Do you want this?"
He shook his head, "Why keep the things you finally got rid of? Just throw them away for me."
"Well, I originally planned to throw it away."
"Miss Mo is my and Lou Xue's benefactor. I have nothing to repay you except thank you from the bottom of my heart."
Mo Shuruo said disappointedly: "I couldn't help anything, so I feel guilty."
He smiled, didn't care, nodded to everyone, turned around and left with the help of the boy.
Seeing that he was about to walk out, Mo Shuruo said loudly: "Do you hate her? Because you are now disabled and weak, life is worse than death."
He stopped and did not turn around. He just smiled and said: "I am willing to die in her hands, so how can I hate her."
Such a test is obviously useless.
"She asked me to bring you a message."
Baiyue Xi said: "I know."
Mo Shuruo was stunned for a moment. He had slowly walked out of the courtyard gate and quickly disappeared around the corner.
You already know some things without saying anything. How could he not know that Jinglou Xue loves him so much.
As soon as Baiyue Xi left, Mo Shuruo stepped forward, looked at Jing Zhaoxian and said, "Since the matter is over, it is not convenient for Shuruo to stay any longer." When passing by the woman, she stopped and said with a smile:
"Let me give you a gift." Without waiting for her answer, he directly took her hand and placed the golden hollow joint ring that symbolized the curse in her palm. "If you want to get what she got, you must
First endure what she endured."
"You!" Jingling was so choked by her that she couldn't say a word and could only stand aside with a livid face.
"Farewell." After saying this, he did not forget to reach out and pull Yan Jue away.
The two of them walked a long way before she said gloomily: "If Jinglou Xue was still alive, do you think she would be happy to see Baiyue Xi now?"
Yan Jue said: "Maybe."
She calmed down and said, "Did I go too far with what I just said?...Forget it, it's a rare rudeness, and they deserve it! But City Lord, everyone has left, why haven't you left yet?"
He took a long step, passed her, and cleverly avoided answering, "Isn't this walking?"
She chased after him, and the two of them walked towards the gate of Baiyue Mansion. Mo Shuruo glanced at him, "I'm talking about leaving Baiyue, why did you...?"
"Because you are too stupid."
"What..." She blinked her big eyes and said in surprise.
"You act carelessly and help whoever you think is pitiful. The Mohists stand for justice. People who have done wrong, no matter how pitiful they are, cannot be used as weight to be forgiven."
The best solution is to follow the wishes of Marquis Baiyue and execute the murderer who made Baiyue uneasy. The world will not know that the murderer is Jinglouxue, nor will they know that Jinglouxue is not the princess of Nanyue, let alone
Knowing that she was innocent in all this. Now that Mo Shuruo has made the whole story public, it is obvious that Baiyue Marquis will not thank the Mo family. The original purpose of making Baiyue and Tianmu Peak have a good relationship has completely failed.
Mo Shuruo knew that his handling of the situation was not good this time, but if he was really cruel, it would be too cruel for Jinglou Xue!
She lowered her head and stopped, "I really can't do it..."
Yanjue also stopped and shook his head helplessly, "You are not decisive enough, so I am worried about you."
She raised her head suddenly and said, "Are you worried about me?" She couldn't believe it after she said it. Her face instantly became extremely hot, her whole body trembled with excitement, and she quickly blew out of the door like the wind.
The feast was absolutely strange.
He was just casually concerned about why she reacted so strongly.
＊＊＊
Two days later, Mo Shuruo and Mo Shuruo were already in the Baiyue border town. The news of Baiyue Xi's suicide came from Xinling City. It was said that the Baiyue Marquis also fell ill because of this. At this time, they were sitting in a room
When eating in the inn, all the delicacies from the mountains and seas became tasteless for a while.
Yanjue asked, "What's wrong?"
Mo Shuruo shook his head and put down his chopsticks, "It's nothing." She turned to look at the busy street scene outside the window, not knowing how to describe her current mood.
She thought about the word "can't afford to be sick" and thought quietly that this was the reaction she should have when a loved one passed away. Thinking about it, Baiyue Xi was indeed dead. After all, it was his own choice.
She suddenly raised her eyes and glanced at Yan Jue, who was drinking tea thoughtfully at the table, and thought to herself: What would he do if it were him?
With this thought, she leaned over and asked him, "If you were Baiyue Xi, would you choose to commit suicide?"
He put down the tea cup, picked up the chopsticks and hit her on the head, "What are you thinking about?"
Mo Shuruo rubbed his head and hid aside, cursing: What a cold-blooded guy!
When I thought about it, it was also true that it was impossible for him to be emotional. Only a fool like Bai Yue Xi who was deeply troubled by love could do such a stupid thing as committing suicide. Yan Jue had never loved anyone before, so how could he have such a deep understanding of it.
From the border town, you can reach the boundary of Lingnan by bypassing several mountains in front of you. In the middle of the night, the air was thin and it was a bit cold in the mountains and forests. Mo Shuruo shuddered all over and slowly opened his eyes. When he woke up, he suddenly found that he was covered with banquets.
He was surrounded by stunning white clothes, but his figure was nowhere to be seen.
He won't leave, right? Mo Shuruo was so depressed that he left her alone in the mountains in the middle of the night, not afraid that she would be picked up by a wild beast.
She got up and said, "One, two, three, four, five," pointing her finger in a random direction, "It's yours."
Along the way, I realized that I had actually chosen the roughest and steepest mountain road. I was almost exhausted and I didn’t know where I had walked. Not to mention the feast, there were not even a pheasant or a hare. As soon as I was in a daze, the soil beneath my feet loosened.
He screamed and rolled down the hillside. Fortunately, he just landed in a bush and was not seriously injured.
She was about to get up when she heard the sound of horse hooves not far away. In case she met bad guys, she gave up the idea of going out, squatted in the bushes, stretched out her hands to push aside the weeds, and looked outside.
A carriage quickly stopped in an open space not far away. The man riding the horse played a strange piccolo. Mo Shuruo looked around reflexively. After a moment, a white shadow flew quickly from a distance.
She could almost only see the phantom drawn in the sky, and in a blink of an eye, the man was already at the carriage.
She blinked. The man was dressed in white. He was indeed Yan Jue. Mo Shuruo was wondering, what was he doing here?
The two people over there were already chatting.
The man in black clasped his fists and said, "City Lord."
Yan Jue asked: "Did someone bring it?"
The man stepped aside and said, "In the carriage." He opened the curtain, and Mo Shuruo couldn't see anything even if he stretched his head.
His eyes turned cold, "Why are you tied like this?"
The man knelt down on one knee, "He has been dishonest all the way. His subordinates made their own decisions. I hope the city lord will forgive me."
"release."
"Yes." The man in black stood up, climbed onto the carriage and brought someone down. To be precise, it was a man.
The man was dressed in a rich robe. Judging from his appearance, he must be in his late twenties or early twenties.
Yanjue looked at him and said quietly: "Excuse me, King Minyue, for making this trip."
Mo Shuruo was surprised: King of Minyue! Isn’t that Baiyue Jing?
Bai Yuejing snorted coldly and threw away the hemp rope pulled from his body, "How proud of me to let Lord Yanjue come to see you in person."
Yan Jue said: "I know you are going to express your condolences to Baiyue Xi, but you are not in a hurry. I came to you just to talk to you about something."
"Talk about something?" Baiyue said respectfully: "I, Baiyue, have always been at odds with your Tianmu Peak. I have nothing to talk to you about." He started to leave, but was stopped by the man in black who raised his hand. "Why, you can't leave yet.
Right?"
"I have good intentions in forming an alliance with Baiyue to seek peace."
Baiyue Jing sneered, "Tianmu Peak wants to gain control of Baiyue. This is not a secret. Why do you say it so nicely?"
Yanjue was a smart man, so naturally he didn't care about his useless sarcasm, and said to himself: "As soon as Baiyue Xi died, you naturally took the position of Baiyue heir for him. Speaking of which, although you are the eldest grandson of Baiyue Marquis
, but your little Minyue, regardless of its financial power, cannot suppress other subordinate countries. If you want to sit on the throne, you can only borrow my power."
Yan Jue naturally knew very well that with his own abilities, even if he took the position of leader of Baiyue, he would not be able to stay for long. If he had Tianmu Peak as his backing, he could really relax. But...when he thought of
After his father's scolding, he immediately rejected the idea. Even if Baiyue was destroyed, it would never belong to Tianmu Peak.
He said angrily: "Even if I die, I will not give Baiyue to you! Don't even think about it!"
Yanjue continued: "I didn't ask you to give me Baiyue. I meant to help you take the position of the king of Baiyue. What I need is that Baiyue is not hostile to Tianmu Peak."
Mo Shuruo was stunned, how could Yan Jue compromise like this? What on earth did he want to do?
However, Bai Yuejing was not a person who was unscrupulous. He smiled and said, "No need." He walked away again, but the man in black did not stop him.
Yan Jue's tone suddenly turned cold, "Do you want me to send troops to attack Baiyue?"
Bai Yuejing was stunned and stopped in his tracks. He was trembling with anger. He suddenly pulled out the soft sword wrapped around his waist and slashed towards Yan Jue with a loud roar.
Mo Shuruo's heart tightened, and he didn't expect that the next moment Bai Yuejing would be kicked several feet away by the man in black.
Mo Shuruo covered his mouth to prevent any sound from coming out. Baiyue fell to the ground, vomiting blood, and he said with no confidence: "You are really crazy..." As soon as he finished speaking, he spit out another mouthful of blood.
"Want to kill me?"
"If I can really kill you, I won't regret dying."
Yan Juexiao: "People in the world always have too many misunderstandings about Tianmu Peak. I wanted to reconcile in the best way, but you just refused to accept it. I believe that before you get to Baiyue, you will understand.
From Tianmu Peak, there are more cruel people in this world." Yan Jue's white clothes were fluttering gently in the night wind. His face was cold and seemed to have no expression. "At that time, you don't have to regret it, because I will let you
If another Minyue king comes to power, Baiyue will not be controlled by traitors."
Bai Yuejing's eyes widened, "Another Minyue King..." He thought Yanjue was going to kill him, but he smiled instead, "Since you have this trick, why do you come to me?"
"This move was made out of necessity. I originally wanted to show my sincerity and make you Baiyue surrender willingly, but it seems that it won't work at all."
"So you want to kill me."
"I don't want to kill you, and I won't kill you."
Baiyue Jing angrily said: "What about Baiyue Hou! Are you planning to kill him too?"
Yanjue looked at the person lying on the ground quietly, "He has not survived the blow caused by Baiyue Xi's suicide."
Bai Yue Jing got up from the ground, but being restrained by the man in black, he could only yell and curse: "Yan Jue, if you dare to touch my Bai Yue family, I will definitely make you die a hard death, even if I turn into a vicious ghost after my death."
, I will also pester you every day and make you restless... Ah!" With a muffled groan, the man in black knocked him out instantly with a knife.
Mo Shuruo's eyes widened. This scene made her mistakenly believe that the man in black really killed Bai Yuejing.
She was trembling all over. If Yan Jue knew that she had heard his plan, what would he do? Would he also kill her? Anyone who goes against Tianmu Peak would not end well. This was something she had known for a long time.
The Mo family has been following Tianmu Peak for several generations, but now grandpa has the idea of treason. Is it because Tianmu Peak’s rule is too extreme, or the Mo family doesn’t want to be controlled by others anymore, but no matter what, as long as the Mo family dares to betray Tianmu Peak, Yan Yan will
There will definitely be no mercy.
She staggered and ran forward quickly, rolling and crawling. She kept thinking about a few words in her mind: He will kill me, he will destroy the Mo family.
She ran wildly all the way, and she felt no pain when the thorns in the grass scratched her cheek. Behind her, she always felt that he was about to catch up. The fear made her forget to think. In the blink of an eye, a white shadow appeared in front of her. She hurriedly stabilized her steps and looked.
As he turned around expressionlessly, and slowly approached her step by step, Mo Shuruo kept backing away, "Don't come over..."
He was stunned, and his words were full of disbelief, "Are you afraid of me?"
She shook her head, "No... I just don't want to see you now."
"You heard it all."
She had no intention of denying it, "What you shouldn't see and what you shouldn't hear, every bit, every word, everything is clear."
He probably understood how she felt, and he was a little disappointed with her for a moment. Everyone respected him and feared him, but he thought she could cry and laugh in front of him. But now, she was afraid of him.
.
He couldn't help but laugh at himself: "That's good. At least you should understand that there is never good or bad in the world. I am in this position and I have things I must do. And you will gradually understand this truth.
"
Mo Shuruo suppressed tears and choked up: "I don't understand. I only know that those who use unscrupulous means are bad people, and those who easily take other people's lives are bad people." She suddenly felt heartbroken, "I can't see through it anymore, Yan Jue,
What kind of person are you?" Maybe she is not tolerant enough to accept his murderous side. She is afraid that the Mo family's affairs will be revealed, and she is also afraid that her feelings will be known to him. She is just afraid that he will hate her.
Afraid that he would hate her.
With tears in her eyes, she suddenly saw his lips parting slightly, "As you said, he is unscrupulous and cold-blooded." The way he looked at her made her feel like she was falling into an ice cellar, "This is the first time I know that I am like this, Mo Shuruo.
, I turn out to be such a person in your mind."
Seeing his disappointed look, the joyful mood suddenly overflowed with an inexplicable regret.
She quietly uttered one word, "Yes..."
"In that case, let's say goodbye here." He turned around, his white clothes were beautiful, but his back looked extremely desolate, "You can take care of yourself."
Yan Jue's figure quickly disappeared into the mist of the woods. He didn't look back, and she didn't catch up. She just stood there until she had no strength left to support her and fell to her knees.
A hole opened in the distance, and the sky began to turn hazy and white. It was a new day, but it was a pity that from now on, she was alone.
