Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-Eight The Kindness That Was Taken
"Ning'er..."
Sun Jinyao was shocked and turned pale. Just as he was about to rush over, dozens of hidden weapons flew towards his face.
He subconsciously turned over to dodge, only to see a dozen people wearing barbarian attire jumping out of the grass.
They held scimitars and slashed at Sun Jinyao.
Sun Jinyao immediately drew his long sword to fight. He saw two barbarians carrying Shangguan Wan Ning and running away.
He was anxious and annoyed, so he started to chase, but was blocked by others.
Sun Jinyao became murderous and killed four barbarians in succession. However, he was outnumbered and was attacked from behind by someone.
He insisted on chasing after him, but a barbarian threw a handful of powder in his face.
He immediately held his breath, but it was still a step too late. He felt a spicy taste spreading through his nose and into his mouth.
Sun Jinyao felt hot all over his body. He knew that he had been poisoned. It was impossible to save Shangguan Wanning under such circumstances.
He gritted his teeth and jumped out of the encirclement, and rushed back to the city with a breath of energy.
When Mu Jingrui came back from patrolling outside, he heard from the maid that Shangguan Wan Ning and Sun Jinyao had gone out together, and a feeling of jealousy suddenly welled up in his heart.
He silently calculated that after returning to Beijing this time, he must marry Shangguan Wan Ning immediately to avoid long nights and many dreams.
"General Mu, it's not good," the guard hurried in and reported, "The soldiers on patrol just now saw Mr. Sun on the street, and he passed out on the roadside..."
Mu Jingrui's expression suddenly changed, and he rushed out before the guard could finish his words.
At this time, Sun Jinyao had been carried back by the soldiers, and military doctors were treating him.
"How is he?" Mu Jingrui asked eagerly.
The military doctor stood up and replied: "Master Sun has been poisoned. As for what kind of poison it is... I haven't found out yet, but he..."
When Mu Jingrui heard this, he pushed the military doctor away impatiently, stepped forward and tapped several large acupuncture points on Sun Jinyao's body, and slowly injected his internal energy into Sun Jinyao's body.
After a long time, Sun Jinyao slowly opened his eyes.
The first time he saw Mu Jingrui, he weakly told what happened.
Mu Jingrui's ominous premonition came true, his face turned pale, and a murderous aura suddenly surged into his heart.
"You have to find Ning'er as soon as possible. If my guess is correct, they want to use Ning'er to save the Holy Son."
Mu Jingrui's heart skipped a beat. "What do you mean?"
"I have read their barbarian tribe's witchcraft books, which record that if the Holy Son encounters backlash during the practice, he must use the blood of the original woman to cure him."
Mu Jingrui's pupils dilated, and his whole heart clenched.
"In other words, they will take Ning'er's blood to save the Holy Son?"
Sun Jinyao closed his eyes tiredly and nodded. "Go and save Ning'er..."
"What about you?"
"I can still hold on."
Mu Jingrui stopped talking nonsense and told the military doctor to take good care of Sun Jinyao. He immediately sent soldiers to search for clues at the location mentioned by Sun Jinyao and blocked every road out of the customs.
He went straight to the cell where Chang Qingqing was held.
Ever since the witchcraft was backlashed, Chang Qingqing has not said a word. She doesn't know what kind of fate is waiting for her. She just leans against the cold wall in a daze every day.
Until, a pair of slender legs appeared in her sight.
"Is it you?"
Chang Qingqing raised her head and met Mu Jingrui's deep eyes. "Are you finally going to kill me?"
"Your people captured Ning'er to save the Holy Son. Let me ask you, where are they most likely to hide Ning'er? Is there any way to stop it?"
Chang Qingqing was startled and couldn't help laughing.
With tears in her eyes, she said: "So the Holy Son is still alive. Haha... Mu Jingrui, don't expect any answers from me."
Mu Jingrui didn't have the patience to waste it anymore, so he leaned over and grabbed Chang Qingqing's neck, and growled: "I didn't intend to kill you, but don't force me."
"Kill if you want. I won't betray the Holy Son." Chang Qingqing stared at Mu Jingrui stubbornly.
For a moment, Mu Jingrui felt helpless.
He sneered and said: "It would be a pity to kill you. You are not pretty, but you are still pretty. I know that what you value most is your chastity. You should know that those who march and fight are all blood.
Fang Gang's young people, what do they... long for most?"
Chang Qingqing shivered all over.
She looked at Mu Jingrui angrily and cursed: "Mu Jingrui, as the commander of the first army, you are so despicable, don't you feel ashamed?"
"My life creed, Mu Jingrui, is to achieve the goal by any means necessary. I will give you one last chance, will you tell me or not?"
Chang Qingqing looked at the man in front of him, who was exuding a chill all over his body. His whole body was ice-cold, and only despair remained in his heart.
"Okay, I'll say it."
Chang Qingqing's submission made Mu Jingrui let go.
"The Holy Son and the others will be hiding in..."
Chang Qingqing only said half of what she said. She jumped up and hit the wall head first.
Blood flowed like a gush.
Mu Jingrui hurried forward and found that Chang Qingqing had died on the spot.
He clenched his fists, tried his best to hold back the fire in his chest, roared, and punched the wall hard.
"Qi General Mu, my subordinates and others found no clues about Miss Shangguan, but they intercepted the women and children halfway."
The soldier's report shocked Mu Jingrui. He immediately went to see those people.
Mu Jingrui's aura and murderous aura made the old, weak, women and children tremble with fear when they saw him, and they subconsciously curled up in a circle and backed away.
His eyes were fixed on the little girl hiding in her mother's arms.
According to Sun Jinyao's description, Shangguan Wanning probably got poisoned after eating the cakes she fed.
He walked towards the little girl, knelt down and gently touched the little girl's head.
The little girl was so scared that she was so scared that she didn't dare to move.
"Be obedient and tell uncle, have you done something bad?"
The little girl looked at Mu Jingrui blankly. The little girl's mother couldn't bear the pressure, so she knelt down and cried: "General, please forgive me... My daughter is still a child, she doesn't know anything. There is nothing we can do..."
"Yeah?"
Mu Jingrui restrained his gentleness when facing the little girl, and looked at the woman with sharp eyes. "Tell me, why can't you do anything?"
"The Holy Son... asked us to poison the girl. The girl was kind and gave us the food. I secretly... put poison on the cake and asked my daughter to feed it to her. She was not prepared...
ah……"
Mu Jingrui didn't wait for the woman to finish speaking, then grabbed her wrist and lifted her up.
"I'm only asking once." Mu Jingrui said murderously, "Where did your holy son take that girl?"
