The difference between welcoming death and waiting for death is that the former is very open-minded, but if you wait too long, you will be so frightened that you will even forget to breathe. After feeling the pain for a long time, Mo Shuruo slowly opened his eyes and looked up while panting.
At that time, she was really ready to die, but she didn't expect that person would come so timely.
The battlefield was filled with smoke and blood splattered everywhere. Yan Jue was dressed in white clothes. He stood there looking down at her, holding the flying spear tightly in his hand.
Mo Shuruo looked at him blankly, confused for a moment. How could it be Yan Jue? He could really see it... But why did he appear here?
When she reacted, she quickly hid the bell on her waist in her pocket, turned around and put Xiang Jingyi on her shoulder, who was not quite awake, and said in a choked voice: "Thank you, it's very dangerous here, you
Don't just stand there stupidly." After saying that, he turned around and walked into the city.
I don't know if he recognized him, but Mo Shuruo felt guilty, and seeing that Xiang Jingyi was seriously injured, he just wanted to return to the city quickly.
Yan Jue followed her closely, with confusion on his face. The whip in his hand occasionally knocked away the enemy soldiers who were charging towards him with their swords raised. Finally, he simply passed Xiang Jingyi and quickly threw it to Uncle Mo, a military doctor who came to rescue the wounded nearby.
If you follow the person carrying the stretcher and run into the city, there will be explosions and roars behind you, and your heart will beat a few times.
She didn't dare to look back until she entered the city. When she couldn't help but squint, she found his figure somewhere. Mo Shuruo ran for a while in the crowd, looking around with his eyes, thinking that it was just an illusion.
.
On the other side, Yan Jue went straight to Huanglong alone and rushed into the enemy army. After his eyes could see, his movements were obviously faster and more accurate. The enemy army could hardly catch him. He only took a few seconds to film, and then he was shot out of the air.
Thousand knots whipped and flew away.
The speeding figure brought with it a terrifying aura. The enemy general was so frightened by the approaching white shadow that his face turned pale. Even the horse beneath him kept pacing and neighing, trying to escape.
But in an instant, Yan Jue was already in front of him. He swung his long whip and wrapped it around the general's neck. With the sound of struggle, he pulled back, and the man immediately fell from his horse and fell to the ground crying in pain.
The people around him reacted and rushed forward even if they were afraid. Yanjue flicked his right hand and whipped up the whip again. Those people knew the power of the whip, and with him as the center, they were all afraid and backed away, leaving a circular area instantly vacant.
He said to the general standing on the ground: "Go back and tell Baiyue Yi that if he doesn't return Baiyue Lord's Seal with both hands, I, Tianmu Peak, will make him know that life is worse than death."
The general was so disgraced that when he heard the word Tianmu Peak, he was so frightened that he trembled all over, "You are from Tianmu Peak..."
But he didn't get a reply, and he saw the man in white leap out of the encirclement, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Mo Shuruo followed the injured Xiang Jingyi all the way and had no intention of looking for Yan Jue. This battle was not a huge one, but the casualties were extremely heavy. Even Xiang Jingyi, who had experienced hundreds of battles,
He was seriously injured and a knife in the abdomen almost killed him. Mo Shuruo squeezed his bloody hand, looked at his trembling and open eyelids, and laughed with tears: "I told you not to get hurt, but this time
Fortunately, half of our stomachs are gone."
At this moment, someone on the tower shouted: "The rebels are withdrawing! The rebels are withdrawing!!"
Mo Shuruo squeezed Xiang Jingyi's hand tightly, "That's great!"
Xiang Jingyi blinked his eyes, smiled with difficulty, and finally became unresponsive. He closed his eyes and passed out completely.
This battle lasted for three hours, and not long after the troops and horses were repaired, night came. Knowing that Mo Shuruo ran onto the battlefield, Mr. Mo was so angry that he taught him a lesson for a while. She also knew that she shouldn't run around in the current situation, so she acted honestly
He stayed in the post house and followed Mo Gong closely.
After nightfall, the post house welcomed an uninvited guest. When he saw the figure in white, Mo Shuruo's legs and feet didn't obey at all, and he quickly hid behind the person, his mind almost turning into mush.
It would be too false to say that you are not attracted to him.
Yanjue was surrounded by a group of soldiers holding sharp knives. He walked forward without fear until he stopped in front of the hall. At this time, important matters were being discussed in the hall. Jing Zhaoxian and other important Baiyue figures were all present, and he was alone.
Coming here, I don’t know what the purpose is.
Mr. Mo tilted his head and gave Mo Shuruo a look, asking her not to show her head. Mo Shuruo understood the meaning and could only lower his head lower. The Mo family and others stepped aside on their own initiative. The situation was very embarrassing.
The Lord of Tianmu Peak has always looked down upon the world. No matter how ordinary a place is, it seems that it has become a stage that attracts everyone's attention as soon as he comes. Even in this situation, he is still calm and composed, with a slight smile on his face.
Jing Zhaoxian held the long sword at his waist, with an unkind look on his face, "What are you doing here!" Obviously he didn't really want to ask this question, but was confirming Yan Jue's purpose of coming to Baiyue. After all, Tianmu Peak has never been Baiyue.
friend.
He smiled and said, "I am here to help Baiyue out of trouble. You may not believe it, but if you want to deal with me now and be attacked from both sides, it is not a good strategy."
Although he came alone, who knew if there were any hidden guards around him? Jing Zhaoxian quickly glanced around, not daring to move rashly.
Tianmu Peak has always wanted to control Baiyue, but at least it hasn't done anything excessive. And Duke Mo is still here, so he can't put the Mo family in a dilemma. Controlling the rebels is the most important thing now, so don't provoke him first. I think.
At this point, Jing Zhaoxian waved his hand and ordered the soldiers facing each other to retreat, "Since the Lord of Yanjue City dares to say that, I would like to hear what you have to say."
Forty thousand rebels are not a small number. It would be too cruel to kill them at will. Moreover, betraying Baiyue is just the selfish intention of Baiyue Yi and others. No wonder these soldiers and civilians.
Seeing the soldiers retreating, Yan Jue smiled and said: "The most important thing now is to recapture the seal as soon as possible. Bai Yueyi's army is just a ball of loose sand. If it is pushed even a little bit, it will collapse, so it is not enough."
consider."
Duke Mo and Jing Zhaoxian looked at each other, clasped their fists at Yanjue and said, "The seal has fallen into the hands of Bai Yueyi. I'm afraid we won't have the chance to seize it. I think we would have sent heavy troops to guard it."
No matter how unwilling Baiyue was, he still had to accept his help at this time. After all, only Yan Jue could easily obtain the seal.
Mo Shuruo stood aside with his head lowered and seemed to understand a little better after hearing these words.
Yan Jue said: "I can go get the seal tonight, but I have a condition." He still remembered the purpose of coming here. He Yan was definitely not Mo Shuruo, and he did not have so much kindness and willingness to help others.
Jing Zhaoxian couldn't help but look at Mr. Mo again.
Everyone knows this condition, but he is only the king of a country and cannot be the master of the entire Baiyue. Besides, Baiyue has never surrendered to Tianmu Peak, so this condition will definitely not be allowed.
But at this time, Jing Zhaoxian had no choice. To get back the seal, he could only rely on Yan Jue. Thinking about it on the other hand, maybe the condition of Yan Jue is not the control of Baiyue? But it would be naive to think so, so
I had to bite the bullet and ask, "What are the conditions?"
In full view of everyone, Yanjue said calmly: "After the rebels are subdued, I want you, Baiyue, to never be hostile to Tianmu Peak."
This condition was not difficult to make, and Jing Zhaoxian suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. But it was not easy to agree to it. Just when he was struggling, a female voice suddenly sounded from behind.
"I promise you."
Everyone looked back and saluted, "Madam."
Su He hurried over and repeated: "Master Yanjue, as long as you help Baiyue escape from trouble, I promise you that from now on, Baiyue will never be hostile to Tianmu Peak."
"Ma'am, what you say is true."
She raised her right hand and said sincerely: "I, Su Ho, swear here that Baiyue will never go against Tianmu Peak."
In fact, there is nothing wrong with this situation. Baiyue has accepted Tianmu Peak, and as long as Yan does not use any more pressure to seize Baiyue power, the original goal is for the two parties to live in peace.
Yanjue said with a smile: "Madam, you are so happy." Then he glanced at everyone and said, "Everyone here is a witness. I, Tianmu Peak, have never bullied Baiyue or forced an agreement. I hope that in the future, everyone will act with mercy and don't forget it.
Let’s take care of today’s matters.” After saying that, he clasped his fists and bowed to Madam Su Ho, “Half an hour later, the seal will arrive and I’ll say goodbye.”
Seeing him striding away, everyone looked at each other in confusion. Jing Zhaoxian walked up behind Madam Suho and asked, "Madam, do you really believe him?"
Su Ho sighed: "We have no choice now. If we continue to fight, we don't know how many people will be killed in vain."
The whole room of people waited like this for half an hour. After the incense burned out, the things arrived as promised. The person who delivered them was dressed in black armor and had cold eyes. Mo Shuruo remembered that this person was the secret guard beside Yan Jue.
He was called You Jiang, and he was an extraordinary person. He put the box on the table, neatly spread out a strip of contract cloth next to it, put the pen and ink on it, and clasped his fist at Mrs. Suhe, "The city lord's wishes, Mrs. Wang
clear."
Su Ho glanced at him, opened the box carefully, took out the seal and looked at it carefully. After making sure it was correct, he nodded to Jing Zhaoxian and put it back in the brocade box. He picked up the brush, quickly read the contract again, and smiled slightly, "Yan Jue City Master
If there are rumors, Linglong is thinking. Today’s favor, Baiyue Police Note.” After finishing speaking, he signed his name, then wrapped the cloth and presented it with both hands, “Thank you for your great kindness to the Lord of Yanjue City.”
You Jiang took the cloth, took a step back and clasped his fists, "Goodbye."
Everyone looked at each other again and asked whether the seal was authentic or not.
Jing Zhaoxian couldn't help but admire: "What kind of sect is Tianmu Peak? Its ability is so powerful..."
Thinking of Baiyue's hostility to Tianmu Peak over the years, I instantly felt that Baiyue was a little ungrateful. If it hadn't been for today, Tianmu Peak would have actually launched an army against Baiyue, it would have been a hundred times more terrifying than Baiyue.
Although it is a good thing to get the seal back, Baiyue Yi's soldiers outside have not retreated. It seems that he still wants to fight.
The days seemed peaceful again for two days.
Uncle Mo had nothing to do every day. He changed the medicine for Xiang Jingyi and went to the drug store on time to buy medicine. Visiting the wounded in the Mo family seemed to have become a daily routine. There was no news about the banquet in the past two days, and she did not dare to ask
Duke Mo inquired about it, but he didn't know how many times he secretly said "don't worry about it, don't worry about it," but his mind just wouldn't listen.
"Girl, your medicine is ready."
When the shopkeeper yelled at her, she came back to her senses and realized that she had been stunned for a while in front of the counter. After paying the money, she picked up the medicine bag and walked back. On the street, a young man in white walked towards her. He was the enemy of the enemy on the narrowest road.
When they met, Mo Shuruo quickly pinched his waist. Fortunately, he didn't bring the bell and pendant. He immediately put down his heart, lowered his head and turned away, just thinking that he was a passerby and didn't recognize him. Suddenly he remembered that he had a sensitive nose and ears.
, immediately stood on tiptoes, ran to the steamed bun shop, pointed to the cage, and asked the boss to load some meat buns.
It was better now. The usual smell of rue was probably overwhelmed by the smell of steamed buns. Mo Shuruo sighed inwardly, turned around and was about to leave. When she turned around, she found that he was standing three steps behind her, which frightened her heart.
Stopped suddenly. Looked left and right, but had no choice but to hold on tight.
Unexpectedly, he smiled and said, "May I ask, girl, where is the drug store?"
Mo Shuruo blinked and tried his best to hide his guilty conscience. He lowered his head and stretched out his finger to point to the place across the street where he had just come out.
Yan Jue seemed not to recognize her, so he smiled at her and went to the drug store. As soon as the other person stepped away, the air around him became smooth. Mo Shuruo relaxed and looked at his back, feeling in his heart.
The prisoner muttered: Did he recognize it or not?
I remembered him going to the drug store and wondered if he was injured. In broad daylight, I hid around the corner like a thief and peeked. When he walked out of the store, I immediately rushed in and asked the shopkeeper, "What did that young man just buy?"
medicine?"
The shopkeeper said: "Just treat injuries caused by bruises."
Mo Shuruo said thank you and hurriedly followed him from a distance. Injured by a bruise? Could it be that he was really injured while grabbing the seal that night?
Following him all the way to a small alley, he saw him walking into a shabby house from a distance. Uncle Mo was surprised, Yan Jue probably couldn't live in a place like this even if he was penniless... thinking about it, he became even more curious, so he stood on tiptoe again
Go in with your feet.
She hid outside the window and looked in, and saw what he was squatting on the ground doing, but his back was facing her, and there was nothing in his sight. She had no choice but to squat in the corner for a while, and then climbed out again after Yan Jue left.
look.
I didn't know it by looking at it, and I thought it was some rare thing. I pulled back the thatch and took a look, and I was immediately stunned.
Dog???
What's nesting in the thatch is not just a dirty puppy. Although its coat is a bit dirty and looks gray, it should be quite cute after being cleaned. This dog doesn't seem to be afraid of people, and he even shakes her vigorously when he looks at her.
Turning to the tail, Mo Shuruo looked down and found that there were white cloth strips tied on its hind legs, guessing that it must be the medicine given by Yan Jue just now.
Mo Shuruo twitched the corner of his mouth twice. She followed him for two blocks and squatted for so long just to see this thing?
He sat down on the spot, tapped his calf, and stretched his chin toward it, "Hey, why doesn't he take you back?"
I knew it couldn't speak, but I couldn't help but be curious. I glanced at the meat buns in my hand that I hadn't eaten yet, and I simply broke them open and put them in front of it, "Eat it."
The little guy immediately started to eat happily and screamed from time to time.
Mo Shuruo pulled out the hair on the top of its head and said, "Eat slowly, I won't compete with you."
After much thought, I never expected that Yan Jue would actually like this type of guy.
She held her chin up and looked at the delicious juice it was eating, and couldn't help but laugh, "It's quite cute." She couldn't help but stretched out her hand and rubbed it twice.
Suddenly, there were footsteps outside the house approaching slowly. She turned her head and said something bad, it couldn't be Yan Jue coming back again! Thinking of the possibility, Mo Shuruo immediately got up and threw the medicine bag into the straw, grabbing it.
He threw the bun that the dog had not finished chewing out, quickly covered it with thatch, and then burrowed into the thatch himself, so frightened that he did not dare to breathe out. The series of movements were so fast and steady that everyone thought it was
He is a habitual offender.
The footsteps came closer and closer, and I saw cut white sleeves in the gap. Sure enough, it was Yan Jue who came back.
I saw him pulling back the thatch, revealing the puppy, and opening the oil paper package in his hand. Surprisingly, even the packaging was the same, from the same bun shop just now.
"Is it tasty?"
She knew that Yan Jue had always been gentle, but when these three words were paired with a smile, Mo Shuruo felt a little jealous in his eyes. This was too tempting...
Here she was still infatuated, but he suddenly turned his head and saw her big eyes in the straw pile. If anyone else would have screamed in fright, he slowly came closer.
This time, Uncle Mo lost his composure. She kept backing up and almost hit the wall. Her eyes were full of panic and she shouted in a rough voice: "Don't come over!" It would be too much if she was discovered.
Shame on you.
As expected, Yan Jue stopped.
Mo Shuruo buried his head in his arms, fearing that he would make further moves. But after a long time, he heard no sound. He raised his head again, slowly opened the thatch, and found that no one was in the room, not even the dog.
Mo Shuruo collapsed to the ground and waited for a while before getting up. After picking up the medicine bag, he quickly left the place where the trouble was.
I don't know if he will show up at the inn in the future. Anyway, he can't follow grandpa anymore. If he is discovered, there is no way he can hide it.
