The fire spread, and the Gu man was trapped in the cave. He Yaya looked around vigilantly.
He dare not go out...
Aya asked him to stay in the cave.
"It's raining. Force him out as soon as possible. You want to see the body!"
"yes!"
…
Backyard, hot spring.
Mu Huaicheng took advantage of the chaos in the poisonous valley and sneaked into the medicinal reed.
"Chao'er..." As soon as he entered the backyard, Mu Huaicheng saw Chaoyang standing in the rain.
His body stiffened for a moment, this voice... Chaoyang was very familiar.
"Chao'er..." Mu Huaicheng also stopped nervously, fearing that Chaoyang wouldn't recognize him, so he took off his mask.
It was raining heavily and the courtyard was a little desolate.
Chaoyang took a deep breath and rushed over without thinking. He threw himself into Mu Huaicheng's arms and hugged him tightly. "Brother..."
Is she dreaming or is she hallucinating?
Mu Huaicheng's body stiffened for a moment, and his raised fingers froze in the air. He slowly hugged Chaoyang and comforted him softly. "I'm fine. I made you worry."
"Brother, they said you were dead..." Chaoyang cried and shook her head. She thought Mu Huaicheng was dead.
"It's just that the situation forced me to do my best." Mu Huaicheng held Chaoyang's shoulders and pulled him into a corner. "My identity cannot be exposed yet. I am here this time because I don't want you to worry."
He has been guarding Southern Xinjiang for a long time, and he is afraid that the people in Anmei Tower will be harmful to Chaoyang. "Chao'er, His Majesty's last secret letter said that he has arrived in Southern Xinjiang. Have you seen him?"
Chaoyang subconsciously clenched his fingers and couldn't say a word for a long time.
"Chao'er?" Mu Huaicheng's heart tightened.
"Brother, take him away..." Chaoyang pointed to the body next to the hot spring, his clothes stained red with blood and dripping with blood. "It's my fault that he was injured by the poison..."
It was she who chose this path for Xiao Junze.
She is directly responsible for Xiao Junze's death.
Mu Huaicheng ran to Xiao Junze in panic and tested his breathing. He found that there was no breath left and his body was stiff and cold.
"How could..." Mu Huaicheng couldn't accept it. His king...
Obviously everything is in the plan. "Obviously, Your Majesty has agreed... our Mu family army is still waiting for you in the north of the border. If you die, what will we do?"
If Xiao Junze dies, the entire Mu family army will really be reduced to rebel bandits.
"Brother... I'm sorry..." Chaoyang knelt down on one knee. She knew that if Xiao Junze died... what it would mean to Mu Huaicheng and the entire Fengtian. "Xiao Junze was seriously injured and stupid. If he hadn't saved me, he wouldn't have
You will be poisoned, let alone die..."
That's why she was willing to give up three years of freedom and ask the old man to save him.
But in the end, Xiao Junze died in her hands.
"Chao'er, this is Your Majesty's... own choice." Mu Huaicheng was silent for a long time in the rain, and gently lifted the disguise on Xiao Junze's face.
Chaoyang probably cares about Xiao Junze's life and death, so he disguises him like this and hides him around him.
"Chao'er... we can't stay here for long, are you willing to come with me?" Xiao Junze is dead, and many plans have to start over. He... can't leave the Mu family army behind.
"Brother... I promised the old man that if he is willing to save Xiao Junze, I am willing to sacrifice three years of freedom and stay in Poison Valley. I'm sorry... I can't leave with you." Chaoyang shook his head and wiped his tears. "But... brother,
I'm fine and safe here..."
"There are people from Anmei Tower at the foot of the mountain. I have searched for a long time but have not been able to find out their purpose. You must be careful." Mu Huaicheng knew that Chaoyang could protect him, and Poison Valley could also protect Chaoyang for three years.
That’s fine too…
Once Xiao Junze died, he would not be able to protect himself, let alone take Chaoyang away.
"Brother, Brother Huaichen..." Chaoyang lowered his eyes, his whole body was already soaked.
Even she herself couldn't tell whether it was rain or tears.
"I have heard... This is our choice as ministers." Mu Huaicheng clenched his hands hard, holding back until the veins on the back of his hands bulged, but he still had to pretend that everything was the right choice. "At least, Huaichen doesn't
To betray the king is to live up to the love."
"Brother, you have to leave as soon as possible before the old man comes out of seclusion."
Since Mu Huaicheng is already a 'dead man' to the outside world, she must not let his identity be exposed.
Mu Huaicheng took out a wooden hairpin from his arms and put it in Chaoyang's hand. "On the day of the wedding, I saw you... staring at the hairpin craftsman in fascination. Brother... although the craftsmanship is not as good as that of the hairpin girl, but...
…”
Chaoyang clenched the polished wooden hairpin in her hand. Her brother Mu Huaicheng... must have held it in his hand frequently to get the luster of this hairpin. "Brother... Chao'er only has you, so take care of yourself.
"
Chaoyang was relieved to know that Mu Huaicheng was not dead.
She and her mother owe the Mu family so much... they don't know how to repay them anymore.
"Chaoer, my brother will come to pick you up in three years." Mu Huaicheng stretched out his hand to grab Chaoyang and held him in his arms with one hand. "Brother will not die, and he will protect you. Watching you chase the breeze,
Watching you feel free..."
…
Medicinal reed.
"Sir, the poison man is dead. The fire has spread to the cave. The poison man has never left. We will find the body as soon as the fire is extinguished."
Fuyao frowned, feeling that everything was going too smoothly.
"Watch closely, don't take it lightly!" Gu people are definitely not as easy to deal with as they seem.
"Seal the entire back mountain." If the poisonous man is not dead, he must not be allowed to leave the Poison Valley.
Otherwise, the villages near Poison Valley will be devastated.
"Yes..." The secret guard's voice was tight, and he stood up and left quickly.
A Gu man can make the eldest son of Southern Xinjiang scared to such an extent, which should not be underestimated.
…
"Sir, there is a dark shadow leaving the backyard." The shadow guard in the darkness spotted Mu Huaicheng.
"Chase!" Fuyao frowned, black shadow?
"Stop chasing..." Chaoyang walked out of the backyard, her rain-soaked hair scattered, and she tied it up casually with the hairpin.
Black and moist, with skin that is better than snow, it is so beautiful that people can't take their eyes away... It's probably the scenery in front of them.
"Chao'er..." Fuyao was a little confused.
"It's my man, let him take away the fool's body."
On the tree trunks in the backyard, several gorgeous Gu butterflies flew away, chasing the direction where Xiao Junze's body left.
Originally, the laurel tree with its lush branches withered instantly after the Gu butterfly flew away... only its branches were left.
…
At the foot of the mountain.
Mu Huaicheng took away Xiao Junze's body and planned to return to the north first.
"General, there is an urgent report from the border. The female general Xie Yulan of Dayu personally led her troops northward, intending to start a war with our army and recapture the ten cities occupied by our army." Behind him was an intelligence informant in the army.
"Xie Yulan..." The daughter of the founding king of Dayu, Xie Wei, the former mighty general.
The Xie family has been a fierce general for generations, and Xie Wei was also the only fierce general who could fight for several rounds with his uncle Mu Jingyan.
Mu Jingyan once said that if it were not for Xie Wei in Dayu, he would have conquered Dayu Palace in less than half a year and made Dayu the territory of Fengtian.
"General, this woman should not be underestimated."
Of course Mu Huaicheng knew that a woman who could single-handedly suppress the rebels during the Dayu Shangyuan Rebellion, and who could break out of the encirclement after being surrounded, was definitely not an easy person.
