Chapter 129 No.16 Scene [-]

On the night of the Lantern Festival, there was a whole night of spring snow in Jingshu City.Upon waking up, the world has become a vast expanse of whiteness, as if the whole city was frozen in the snow-stained morning.

But for Ning Yue, who was put under house arrest by Kunjie, this situation did not make her feel a little better.When she just escaped from Mulu City, she thought that her situation would not get worse, but the changes that happened in the past month once again made her life fall into an increasingly difficult predicament.

The girl sitting by the couch sighed a long time, and hugged the little white fox wounded by Kun Jie tighter in her arms, regretful in her heart:

"Xue Ling, I'm sorry, I'm the one who hurt you like this."

The little white fox's right front leg was broken in a fight a month ago, and now it can only be fixed with a few chopsticks.Seeing that the girl was sad at this time, it hurriedly stretched out its pink tongue to lick the girl's fingertips, its furry belly rose and fell with its breathing, and there was a soft whimper in its throat, as if to comfort its master to cheer up.

Ning Yue gently rubbed the white fox's ears with her hands, smiled at him, and said thoughtfully:
"I know, you want me to think of a way to find a way to escape. But now that Kunjie has sent extra people to watch outside the door, even if I can escape from this room, I can't leave this room." Yard, it is even more difficult to leave this city..."

As the red-haired girl spoke, she glanced worriedly at the guard's shadow reflected on the paper in the corridor outside the door.But soon she noticed that the other party seemed to be attracted by something, and he kept pointing at the sky with his hand.Not long after, there was a commotion even in the yard on the first floor, and some people started shouting.

The little white fox in Ning Yue's arms was also disturbed, and raised its ears vigilantly, but turned its head towards the window facing the street.Immediately, the girl heard the sound of flapping wings, and saw that it was a red-necked and green-backed parrot flapping its wings and landed on her window sill, her eyes widened in disbelief:

"Brother Rot! Why did you come here?"

That bird was actually Qi Ziyin's bird brother who was raised by Qi Ziyin as a messenger.The girl hadn't seen it since she left Mulu City two years ago.Seeing the bird at this time, the appearance of the young master of Ye country in white clothes appeared in front of his eyes, he was both surprised and happy.

The bird's wing seems to be injured, and the feathers are stained with blood.However, he recognized Ning Yue. As soon as the girl made a sound, she stretched her neck and screamed.

The red-haired girl's complexion changed, she quickly put down the white fox in her arms, walked quickly to the window, held the bird in her palm, and closed the window smoothly.At the same time, the door behind her was also kicked open from the outside!
"Did a bird land on you?"

The person in charge of guarding Ning Yue was a thin and small man.As soon as he entered the room, his eyes scanned every corner with a vicious gaze.

"What bird are you talking about? I've never seen one."

The girl turned around, and she spoke without changing her expression.After she finished speaking, she still bit her lower lip vigorously, secretly praying that Brother Parrot, who she hastily hid under the underwear on her chest, would never be exposed.

"Search for me!"

The thin man didn't believe the girl's words at all, he waved his hand and ordered the people behind him to search around the house.Seeing that her things were turned upside down, Ning Yuedeng became anxious:

"You guys, why do you mess around with other people's things!"

"Why? Have you forgotten that you are now a prisoner under house arrest? I can warn you, if you hide the bird somewhere, you'd better hand it over obediently. Otherwise—"

The other party narrowed his eyes and threatened.But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted angrily by the girl:
"Otherwise what? My place is closed all day long, and it's suffocating to death. How could there be any bird hiding? Why do you think it flew to my place?"

"That bird landed in the courtyard, and a bamboo tube for sending letters was clearly tied to its feet. It must have come to send a letter to someone it knows! In this house, except for you, everyone Master Kunjie has carefully selected the Judgment and the Fire, and they have no second thoughts. So that bird must have come to you!"

"It's ridiculous. A messenger bird is tired from flying, and it can suspect this girl when it lands in the yard to rest for a while. Are you so busy that you have to find something to do every day? ? Now that I have searched, there is no third living thing in this room besides me and Xue Ling! The bird may have already flown away, instead of wasting time here, you might as well go out quickly Go after it!"

The tone of the girl's speech became more and more tough, but the thin and tall man didn't intend to leave at all, but instead turned his gaze to her:
"Why are you in such a hurry to drive us away? That bird was injured by me with a stone, so it must not be able to fly very far. Besides, there is another place in this room that we haven't searched!"

"What do you want to do?!"

Seeing the other party's expression was not good, Ning Yue subconsciously stretched out her hand to cover her neckline, and when she realized it, the thin man in front of her was already laughing:

"If it's really hidden in the clothes, then don't blame us for being rude!"

While he was speaking, two guards rushed to the girl's side, one on the left and one on the right, holding her arms.Ning Yue struggled and cursed immediately, but the skinny man was unmoved at all, and reached out to unbutton the girl's collar.

"What are you doing?! How dare you be rough on the daughter of the great priest. If you send it back to Cangliu City, aren't you afraid you will lose the face of Lord Kunjie?!"

Just when the girl was screaming that the sky should not be heard and the earth was not working, an old voice suddenly sounded outside the door, immediately choking the people in the house.The thin man turned around with a sullen face, but still had no choice but to salute him respectfully:
"Grandmother Zhizhe forgives the sin. It's just that Master Kunjie reminded his subordinates that this female prisoner is not honest at all. Now she may be communicating with people outside. If our plan is exposed, Master Zhijun will blame it—"

"Don't use Lord Kunjie to overwhelm me! I invited the daughter of the great priest to this Jingshu City from a long distance. Now she is imprisoned here, and the old man has not been implicated, which shows Lord Kunjie's trust! Here It's none of your business, even if you want to search, I should do it myself!"

The person who came was Granny Cen herself, and she didn't intend to give the other party a chance to continue distinguishing.

"But--"

The thin man still refused to give up, but seeing the old woman poke the whalebone wand in her hand on the floor several times, he also knew that continuing to pester her was just asking for trouble, so he led his men to retreat angrily.

"What are you doing here? At the beginning, you and Na Kunjie planned to trick me to this place, why are you pretending to be a good person now?!"

Ning Yue pressed her neckline firmly, as if she hadn't recovered from the previous shock.

However, the old lady didn't mention anything about Brother Mu, she just comforted in a soft voice: "Please believe me, I have absolutely no intention of harming you!"

"Why should I believe you? In fact, I know everything. It was the father who convicted the mother-in-law and the whole family of treason, and your only daughter died under Ganyuan because of this! Now you just want to What are you going to do with me to get revenge on him, and pretend to say some sanctimonious nonsense!"

As if for revenge, Ning Yue ruthlessly lifted the other party's scars.

"Miss, how did you know about the affairs of the old man's family?"

Granny Cen was taken aback suddenly, but she was not provoked, she just looked at the girl in front of her in surprise.

"My mother told me. She persuaded my father to let my mother-in-law come to take care of our mother and daughter because of guilt. It's just that you didn't know about it at the time, and neither did my father."

"Ms. Coral—" the old woman suddenly shook her head in disbelief, then nodded again, "That's right, when I first came to your house, I really wanted to seek revenge. But when I saw Miss After that, I suddenly couldn’t do anything.”

"You can say whatever you want now!"

"Miss! Although I have followed Lord Kunjie for many years, I always warn myself that I must act in an upright manner. Otherwise, even if I take revenge, my daughter will not be happy in heaven. Otherwise, when I first came to your house, there would be countless people. Opportunity can kill you, so why wait until today! Over the years, I have always treated you as my own flesh and blood, miss, and I can't bear to hurt you in the slightest!"

"Then let me go now." The girl looked at the old woman in front of her, still full of disdain and contempt.

"I'm sorry, miss, you can agree to any request you have. But this is the only thing I can't obey."

Granny Cen still shook her head resolutely.

"I knew it! Like that Kunjie, you don't have a half-truth in your mouth. You get out of here now, I don't want to see you again in my life!"

Ning Yue snorted heavily.Unexpectedly, the old woman showed a sad expression on her face:

"Miss Yue'er, there is no other reason why the old body refuses to let you go. It is because the blood of the young lady is the only way to help us enter the holy city, find the way to the paradise, and obtain liberation! This is the belief of the old body all his life, and therefore But I sacrificed my daughter's life, please forgive me..."

Now the red-haired girl was really anxious, she stared into the old woman's eyes and said word by word:
"Now that things have happened, do you still think that I will believe this lie? In fact, whether there is a way to go to the paradise in that holy city or not, you and Kunjie don't care at all! Now what you really want to get It is nothing but the power that the ancestors hid in the holy city, that is enough to make the whole world tremble and bow their heads!"

Granny Cen was stunned by the girl's words, and it took a long time before she came back to her senses, but she kept shaking her head:
"Where did the lady hear these words?"

"Of course it was Kunjie who told me himself! Now, mother-in-law, why are you going to continue to defend him?!" Ning Yue was filled with righteous indignation, but no matter what she said now, it was in vain.

"Miss, I'm sorry. If it wasn't for Lord Kunjie, I would have died standing here today and said these words to you. Right now, I won't, and it's impossible for me to betray my lord because of what you said—"

After hesitating for a long time, the old mother on the opposite side finally made up her mind and lowered her voice, "I can only tell Miss that Master Kunjie has already prepared everything. It will only wait for the Chengguo army to invade Wanzhou soon Mulu City, we can proceed to the next step of the plan."

"Don't you ever worry that if that ancient map falls into Cheng Guo's hands, if Yin Qujian obtains the secrets of the holy city first, what will it bring to the whole Cangyu clan?!"

"Miss, what are you talking about? From the beginning, that picture was just a prop to attract the attention of the people on the land and let them compete for power. Now that the two countries are at war, the defenses in Mulu City must be empty. In this way, my lord will The eyeliner placed in King Ye's palace can only take advantage of the chaos to steal the picture. At that time, they will be like a group of headless chickens, and they will no longer be the disruptors in the big chess game of your lord!"

"That picture is just a prop? Now there is Kunjie's eyeliner in King Ye's palace?"

Hearing what the other party said with certainty, the girl couldn't help but secretly startled.She didn't expect that the trap set up by the other party would be so deep, and she realized that this matter was far from as simple as she thought before, so she followed the other party's words and asked further.But Granny Cen realized that she had talked too much, so she stopped the conversation in time:
"Okay, miss, don't ask any more questions. The more you know, the less good it will be for you. I just want to persuade you again, don't fight against Lord Kunjie anymore. You are determined not to be able to fight him."

The girl knew in her heart that it would be difficult to find out if she continued to entangle, so she watched the old woman go out.In her heart, she was always thinking about Brother Parrot, who was stuck to her chest from the beginning to the end, but did not move. After the other party left, she quickly unbuttoned the skirt of his clothes, allowing the bird to poke its head out from the neckline again.

However, after Ning Yue unfolded the letterhead brought by the bird, her already tense heart hung even higher.

The letter was written to Qi Ziyin. Although it is impossible to tell who wrote it from the handwriting, there is an anxiety in every line between the lines.She also saw that the person who wrote the letter seemed to think that the hope of victory was extremely slim, and only by asking Qi Ziyin, who was in exile, to find a way to borrow troops from another country, could he break the siege of Ye country.

Ning Yue suddenly felt that she had to remind the other party that the enemy Ye Kingdom would face was not only Cheng Guo, but also Kunjie, a poisonous snake hiding in the dark.

However, just after she bit her fingertips and frowned and thought for a long time, she couldn't even write half a word—although the girl's heart was broken by the endangered country of Ye, she was even more afraid that if that After the pure-hearted young man in white knows the current situation, the crisis in Ye country and his own situation, he will come to rescue him at all costs.And the last thing she wants to see is that the other party, who has managed to escape with great difficulty, puts himself in danger!

So, she didn't put the letter back into the bamboo tube on the bird's feet, but silently recited a few incantations in her mouth, healed the wound on the bird, and let it out of the window again:

"Go, bro, protect Ziyin for me!"

Watching the bird gradually turn into a black spot in the air, the girl's heart seemed to fly away with it, to the side of the boy in white who didn't know where he was.
