It was dark. Jing Yirong tried hard to open his eyes. Every effort was in vain. His eyelids were so heavy, as if they were pressed against a piece of iron.
Jing Yirong could only feel that the surrounding temperature was slowly dropping. It was obviously early autumn, but it felt like winter. Jing Yirong couldn't help but shrink.
Ye Fan was shocked when he felt the movement of the woman on his shoulder. She was actually still conscious. Even a martial arts master would have fallen asleep long ago after inhaling so much smoke. How could he still feel the drop in the surrounding temperature?
Ye Fan put away his doubts and pulled off his robe to cover Jing Yirong's body. Even he didn't know the reason for his subconscious action. Maybe the look just now made Ye Fan feel that this woman should be protected.
When Jing Yirong woke up again, he was already in a strange place. Jing Yirong stood up, lifted off the black robe on his body, and looked at the buildings around him. The building in front of him looked like a Roman palace. He was so surprised. You will see such buildings in this dynasty.
Jing Yirong reached out and knocked on the wall. It was empty. So there should be an exit. Jing Yirong hurriedly pressed against the wall and groped everywhere, looking for an exit.
"You want to go out." A voice suddenly appeared in her ears. The low and hoarse voice was too harsh. Jing Yirong turned around and looked at the source of the sound.
There was a person standing in the place where there was no one just now. His whole body was wrapped in cloth. Except for a pair of strange eyes, the rest of the place was wrapped in black cloth. Even every finger was not missed. Jing Yirong couldn't help but think of the word mummy.
Jing Yirong was not frightened by the sight in front of her. Her face was calm. "You have obtained the national seal. It's time to let him go."
"Do you think we would let him go so easily?" The mummy said with a hint of sarcasm in her tone. She seemed to be mocking Jing Yirong for being too naive.
Jing Yirong had already said that the whole thing was not simple at all. "What do you want?"
"The world." The mummy replied. "But the world is not just as simple as getting the national seal. Jing Yirong, tell me why you think that if we get the national seal of Yu, we will get the country of Yu."
"Bu Chenche has no ambitions towards Yu State. I have already discussed this with him. As long as he fakes his death, Yu State will be in civil strife if no one makes the decision for a while. When the time comes, Dongxie State will send people to attack again. I believe that Dongxie State will The ability holds the Great Seal. Getting a country that has already started a civil war should be a piece of cake."
"It's too troublesome." The mummy refused Jing Yirong's method without thinking. "If we, the Dongxie Kingdom, are required to send troops, then we don't need to go through the trouble of arresting the people around you to use you to steal the national seal."
"You don't want to conquer the world with just one soldier." Jing Yirong snorted coldly.
The mummy didn't take Jing Yirong's attitude seriously. "We won't move a single soldier. Because you, Jing Yirong, are here. Jing Yirong's Ming Kingdom belongs to your apprentice. As long as you give him an order to attack the Yu Kingdom, It should be a very simple matter. It should be a very simple matter for you to be so smart and destroy the Yu Kingdom. When the time comes, you will hand over the Kingdom of Hades to our hands and your mission will be completed."
"So you want to eat meat without taking action." Jing Yirong completely understood the plan of the Ye Dynasty. They basically wanted Jing Yirong to be their executioner.
"You are very smart. You can understand everything with just one click." The mummy laughed softly.
Jing Yirong looked at the mummy. "Don't laugh. Your laughter is too ugly."
The smile in the mummy's eyes faded. "Jing Yirong, you have no choice. Your apprentice and daughter are both in our hands."
"I know." Jing Yirong replied resignedly. "I just don't understand why you chose me."
The mummy narrowed her weird eyes. "It's not easy to find a woman who can make Ye Xieming fall in love. Now you are more obedient than Ye Xieming."
Jing Yirong nodded. That's it. It seems that Ye Xieming is not obedient. But these people probably don't know that Jing Yirong's best skill is to work against the odds. She has written down all the accounts today. Already.
"Since the people of the Ye Dynasty are so powerful, they should know that my daughter cannot survive without Qilin blood. Wanting the world is not something that can be accomplished in a month or two. You shouldn't give my daughter back first Give it to me. Otherwise, if she dies, do you think I still need to listen to you?"
"One hostage is indeed enough. But if you want your daughter back, you have to show us your sincerity."
"What do you mean by sincerity?" Jing Yirong frowned. She intuitively felt that this inhuman thing would not have anything nice to say.
Sure enough, the mummy spoke. "Bu Chenche's head. Just bringing Bu Chenche's head here represents your sincerity in helping us conquer the world."
"You want me to kill Bu Chenche."
"He is the leader of the Yu Kingdom and of course he must die." The mummy said calmly. "Jing Yirong. In fifteen days, it will be a month since your daughter left you. You seem to have no choice. In fifteen days, I believe that with your intelligence and martial arts, you can kill Bu Chenche."
Jing Yirong stared at the mummy without moving. "Sooner or later you will regret having offended me today."
"Haha. Jing Yirong, you are indeed Ye Xieming's woman. He also said this." The mummy raised her head and laughed.
Jing Yirong narrowed his eyes. Taking advantage of the mummy's triumphant state, he quickly approached him and punched him hard on the wrapped face.
"Ah." The mummy stepped back in pain and looked at Jing Yirong in disbelief. "Hit me."
"Just now I thought you looked like you deserved a beating. Why did you still think you were a mummy..." Jing Yirong sneered. "I'm telling you this punch was for what you said wrong just now. I'm not Ye Xieming." woman."
"Damn it." The mummy glared at Jing Yirong angrily. There were faint flames on the black clothes that wrapped her body.
Jing Yirong looked at the mummy without fear of death. "Are you sure you want to fight with me now? Don't forget that I am still useful to you. If you hurt me, I can't show you Bu Chenche's head. .”
After listening to Jing Yirong's words, the flames on the mummy gradually faded away. "Ten days. You can't kill Bu Chenche in ten days. Your daughter's life will be destroyed by your own hands."
The mummy disappeared in front of him as soon as he said the words. Illusion. Jing Yirong knew that Ye Xieming could also do this kind of illusion. But this mummy looked more advanced.
Jing Yirong was the only one left around again. Just when Jing Yirong thought he had to go out on his own, a door suddenly opened on a wall. Ye Fan approached Jing Yirong. "It's time to leave."
"Tap the sleeping point. Stop using smoke." Jing Yirong requested. "I hate all drugs."
Ye Fan nodded in agreement. He stepped forward and touched Jing Yirong's sleeping point. Jing Yirong's body softened and fell into Ye Fan's arms again. This time, Ye Fan's body was stunned for a moment. He forced it down and lost control. The beating heart lifted Jing Yirong on his side and walked out.
When Jing Yirong woke up again, she had already sat in the carriage. She stood up and raised the curtains and saw that the carriage was driven by an old man over fifty years old.
"Who are you."
"The villain's surname is Li. He is a horseman. A young master at night said that you have something urgent to return to the Kingdom of Yu, so he asked the villain to take you back. The young master at night also said that he has prepared a fast horse for you. When you wake up, he will You can go directly to Yu State on horseback, which will be faster."
Ye Fan's face flashed in Jing Yirong's mind. Jing Yirong didn't have a deep impression of him. If he hadn't caught Xiao Qier, she wouldn't have even looked at him. Now he has done a good thing. Helped her prepare the horse.
The groom surnamed Li stopped the carriage. Jing Yirong jumped down and took the horse from the groom's hand. After getting on the horse, she waved her whip and flew away. Time was running out. She had to rush back to Yu Kingdom as quickly as possible. .
Jing Yirong had to be grateful to Ye Fan, because Ye Fan had arranged everything for her along the way. He seemed to know which way she would take. When her horse was about to be exhausted, someone would send out a new horse and even They are all good horses that can travel thousands of miles every day.
Jing Yirong felt that he should let Ye Fan live in the future. After all, he had some credit for saving Xiao Qier this time.
It took Jing Yirong five days to rush back to the Kingdom of Yu. After days of traveling, her body began to feel a little exhausted. When Jing Yirong collapsed at the gate of Yuluo Village from exhaustion, everyone in Yuluo Village was surprised.
Duan Yuliu hurried back to the village after receiving the news. When he arrived at the village, Jing Yirong had already woken up and was about to get out of bed.
Duan Yuliu stepped forward and held Jing Yirong's hand. "You still think your body is not weak enough."
"Duan Yuliu, if I even paid attention to such a trivial matter, I wouldn't be Jing Yirong." Jing Yirong waved Duan Yuliu's hand away.
Duan Yuliu was helpless. "You can get up. Drink medicine first and then eat a meal. Otherwise, don't even think about leaving Yuluo Village."
Jing Yirong hesitated for a while, then nodded in agreement. "It's true that we need to eat something."
Only then was Duan Yuliu satisfied. After ordering the food to be served, Duan Yuliu personally picked up the dishes for Jing Yirong. "Eat more. Why do I feel so thin after just going to Dongxie Kingdom?"
"I'm not losing weight. It's you who's gained weight." Jing Yirong satirized Duan Yuliu while eating.
Duan Yuliu shrugged indifferently. "If you are fat, you are fat."
Jing Yirong raised her eyes. "Aren't you afraid that Luo Hua will see you like this? His love for you will disappear immediately."
"His love has long since disappeared." Sadness flashed across Duan Yuliu's eyes. "Jing Yirong, what happened? What else does the Ye Dynasty ask for?"
Jing Yirong picked up a piece of vegetable and put it into his mouth without raising his head. "Why do you ask?"
"Zhi Jin and Xiao Qier didn't come back with you. So it can only mean that the Ye Dynasty did not let you go easily. If you are so tired and want to go out, the only possibility is that the Ye Dynasty has made new demands."
"I almost forgot that you are a jade-faced fox." Jing Yirong smiled.
Duan Yuliu was serious. "Don't change the subject. Tell me what happened."
Jing Yirong put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands and looked at Duan Yuliu with a heavy expression. There was a hint of mockery in his smile. "Duan Yuliu, I think we really have to fight."
Duan Yuliu said nothing. He waited quietly for Jing Yirong's next words.
Jing Yirong lowered his head and took a sip of the soup. He didn't know if there was something wrong with his taste or something, but he just felt that the soup was bitter. He frowned and swallowed, then started slowly. "Their new request is to buy Chenche's head."
"You want to kill Bu Chenche..." Duan Yuliu was surprised.
Jing Yirong was helpless. "I have no choice. Zhijin can wait. But Xiao Qier can't. Her illness is getting shorter and shorter. I can only exchange Bu Chenche's life for her."
Duan Yuliu fell silent.
Jing Yirong stood up. Duan Yuliu grabbed her hand. "Are you sure you really want to do this?"
"I have no choice." Jing Yirong said calmly.
Duan Yuliu slowly let go of Jing Yirong's hand. When Jing Yirong was about to step out of the room, he said, "See you soon."
Jing Yirong was stunned. Duan Yuliu knew that he was now looking for Bu Chenche. He had already made his position clear at the first meeting.
