Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 2541 Blood Book

Mu Rongyin was silent.

"I don't know," she said softly, looking up at the deserted street outside the window, "but it should be a lot."

This was the first time she came to the restaurant that Gui Chen brought her to. As soon as she entered, she found that the restaurant was full of traces of swords and knives. Everyone had wounds on their bodies, and more wounded were lying in the back rooms.

During the two days she stayed here, Mu Rongyin could hear the painful cries of the wounded every night.

It was a sound that made her tremble all over.

She heard from her servants that all this was caused by Yun Zhongjun.

Yun Zhongjun led the disciples of the Zen temple to sneak attack Liuyun Tower and Shanhaiju, captured the eldest son of the Nanchu State Master, and massacred the place.

And this incident is just a very small part of the evil things this person has done.

It is said that the fall of the Great Wall and the death of Dasi Ming seven years ago were both related to the Zen temple. It is difficult to count how many people died at the border in that catastrophe.

Among these people, how many of their entire families died in the war?
Ying Baoyue looked at Mu Rongyin's trembling hands placed on the window sill and sighed deeply.

She didn't need to say anything else, Mu Rongyin understood everything.

"You said you wanted to see him, but what happens after you see him?"

Ying Baoyue stared into Mu Rongyin's eyes. "He specifically asked to exchange you for Qingyuan. Do you think he will let you go after he sees you?"

Mu Rongyin smiled bitterly, "Probably not."

To be honest, when Mu Rongyin learned from Ji Jiashu that Yun Zhongjun wanted her to exchange hostages, she was very surprised.

"Your Highness," Mu Rongyin raised her head, "I actually never thought that he would still remember me."

After the Jin family got into trouble, she disappeared. Not only did she not plead for him, she never even sent a letter to Jin Yun again.

After the Jin family was wiped out, not only did she not wear mourning clothes for him, but she also got engaged to Gui within half a year and even gave birth to two children.

From Jin Yun's perspective, she is probably just a cold-blooded and heartless woman.

"He still remembers you, but..."

Ying Baoyue looked at Mu Rongyin, hesitating whether he should say something unpleasant.

Yun Zhongjun wants to see Mu Rongyin again, but it may not be a sweet reunion between lovers.

"Your Highness, I know what you are going to say," Mu Rongyin sighed, "I am no longer a teenage girl."

Yun Zhongjun's obsession with her at this time was not necessarily out of his love for his past lover.

Another possibility is that it is out of deep hatred.

This possibility is even greater.

She was a betrayer to him because she married another man and had children.

Jin Yun wants to see her, not necessarily for love, but more likely for revenge.

The Emperor Taizu who wiped out the entire Jin family is dead. Looking across the Shanhai Continent, the only enemy that man can find at this time is probably her.

"Your Highness," Mu Rongyin suddenly asked, "How old is that Gui Huajun?"

Ying Baoyue was stunned. "About fifteen or sixteen? About the same age as Guichen."

"He's about the same age as Chen'er..."

Mu Rongyin's hands trembled for a moment, and she looked out the window again with a bitter look in her eyes. "It's good that he has someone to succeed him."

Ying Baoyue opened his mouth, wanting to say something but couldn't.

Is what Yun Zhongjun did to Chunyu Ye really what a biological father would do to his son?
This is just a bigger tragedy.

"Jin Yun didn't treat the child well," she thought for a moment before speaking, "He sacrificed the child to the evil god."

Mu Rongyin clenched her fingers suddenly, "What about the child's mother?"

"He has passed away," Ying Baoyue said, "His mother was Chun Yuhan's sister. She and Chun Yuhan also had a son, but that son was later killed by Chun Yuye."

Mu Rongyin's hands trembled even more violently, "Xirong people...he..."

"For the past ten years, he has been living in hell," Ying Baoyue stared into Mu Rongyin's eyes, "but he has also dragged countless people into hell."

The evil deeds done by Yun Zhongjun were so many that it was impossible to tell Mu Rongyin one by one, but Ying Baoyue believed that the other party could imagine it.

Mu Rongyin's eyes were dull for a moment. She stared blankly at Ying Baoyue's eyes and slowly lowered her head. "Really? Is that so?"

"He can even kill his own son. He is definitely not the person you know," Ying Baoyue said seriously. "It is unpredictable what he will do when he sees you."

"Even so, do you still want to see him?"

Ying Baoyue thought Mu Rongyin would hesitate.

Unexpectedly, she just thought about it briefly and nodded.

"Didn't they say he kidnapped the eldest son of the Ji family?" Mu Rongyin bit her lip. "If he doesn't take me in exchange, how will the young master Ji come back?"

"Even if he uses you as a trade, he may not release Qingyuan." Ying Baoyue's eyes became sharp. "If we want to save Qingyuan, it depends on whether we can find where the Zen temple is hiding him."

"But this happened because of me..."

"No, you think too much," Ying Baoyue interrupted her, "I was not thoughtful enough to prepare for the sneak attack in advance."

If Yun Zhongjun can kidnap Ji Qingyuan, he can kidnap others as well.

The reason why this sneak attack was so successful must be that there was a spy infiltrated into Shanhaiguan.

Ying Baoyue took a deep breath. Wan Liuyun and Qian Bofang did not tell her that they had eliminated the spy, which meant that the spy had not been found yet.

This means that Yun Zhongjun and his party already know that Mu Rongyin has arrived at Shanhaiguan.

"Your Highness..."

Mu Rongyin looked at Ying Baoyue anxiously, "Am I causing you trouble by coming here?"

Ying Baoyue was stunned and shook her head. "I told you not to think too much."

Now thinking back, the reason why Yun Zhongjun was defeated at the crucial moment in the battle at Ganlu Palace was because he was greatly shocked after seeing Mu Rongyin.

"Your Highness," Mu Rongyin's eyes became firm, "If the other party really wants to exchange hostages, let me go."

"But……"

Ying Baoyue was about to say something when there was a knock on the door.

"Your Highness, someone is looking for you."

Ying Baoyue's heart skipped a beat. If it were an ordinary person, Wan Liuyun would never let him in at this time.

"Come in."

The door opened.

A man in armor stood outside the door.

Ying Baoyue opened his eyes slightly.

"There are a few days." The man smiled with his sand-covered mouth. "Should I call you His Majesty now?"

"You can call me whatever you want," Ying Baoyue said with a complicated look, "Why are you here? Shouldn't you be with the White Wolf King?"

"Ce Ling."

Baili Ce Ling's eyes turned serious and he took out a letter from his pocket.

"This was delivered to Zhao Guangshu's desk last night. The king asked me to come to you immediately."

Ying Baoyue took it and opened it, and trembled when he saw the dark red everywhere.

This is a letter written in blood.

"This is……"

When Mu Rongyin saw the blood letter, she was startled at first, and then she screamed while staring at the handwriting on the letter.

"Is this his handwriting?" Ying Baoyue glanced at her.

Mu Rongyin nodded. This was Jin Yun’s handwriting, something she would never forget.

"But the blood on it is..."

Ying Baoyue clenched his teeth, his fists creaking, "This is Qingyuan's blood."

"He's threatening me."
