An orphan girl in troubled times, living a miserable life

Chapter 360 What Does This World Have to Do with Me

I have to say, Ji Mo really guessed it right!

As soon as Ji Mo brought Li Yaoguang up there, he discovered something unusual about the place, and he also saw Xu Chengfeng who was being closely guarded in the center of the crowd.

As soon as his feet touched the ground and he let go of Li Yaoguang, Ji Mo rushed towards Xu Chengfeng.

Xu Chengfeng secretly thought that this was not good, and hurriedly retreated to avoid it while shouting, "Hurry up and help me."

Swords and arrows flew out at the same time, and the guards around him came out. Seeing this, Li Yaoguang fired all the crossbows in her hand. With her cooperation, Ji Mo successfully rushed to Xu Chengfeng's side, and the Mo Dao landed on Xu Chengfeng's neck accurately.

"Tell all your people to stop."

Xu Chengfeng looked at the blood-stained Mo Dao on his neck, then at the cold faces of the people around him. Facing his anxious subordinates, he gently raised his hand and waved.

"Everyone, stand down."

The attendant became anxious and shouted, "Master!" and wanted to step forward.

"Hmm?" Ji Mo took advantage of the situation and pressed the sword in his hand down fiercely. Xu Chengfeng hurriedly shouted, "Back off!"

The people around him then stepped back and made some distance. Li Yaoguang quickly came to Ji Mo's side, holding high the crossbow in his hand to guard against all around.

Xu Chengfeng's eyes darkened again, and he looked at Ji Mo without sounding panicked.

"Doctor Ji Moji, right? I think you are a smart man. Do you know the current situation? In fact, what can you do if you catch me? The witch beside you is trying to seduce the future emperor. I believe you are well aware of the disasters of King Zhou and Daji, and King Baosi of Zhou. Now the chaotic world is about to be settled. It is not easy to get a wise ruler to welcome the new dynasty. There are many things to be rebuilt. If the witch is not removed, it will be a disaster that will devastate the world, and the people will suffer. How innocent are you?"

What we are doing today is only for the king, the country, the people, and the peace of the world!
It's useless for you to threaten me, Xu Chengfeng, for the sake of the witch! If I die today, I will guard the imperial city and the army supporting your majesty will never let the witch leave!

Doctor Ji, if I were you, and if you were wise, please stop and hand over this witch. I, Xu Chengfeng, promise that from now on, you and the entire Qijitang behind you will have a good life. Otherwise..."

"What else can you do? This is really ridiculous, full of high-sounding words, what a villain!" Ji Mo couldn't help but sneered, and pressed the blade down two more points, with a sarcastic and contemptuous tone.

"What does this world have to do with me? What does the suffering of the people have to do with me? You keep saying that others are witches, but in my opinion, you rats in the gutter are the real witches!
My Yaoguang is extremely kindhearted, what's wrong with that? King Zhou blamed Daji for the loss of his country, but what was Daji to blame? It was just my own incompetence! What she said was very reasonable.

Today I want to ask Shen Yue, is this how he treats his lifesaver, the meritorious official who once fought alongside him and made contributions to him, the Northland, the Dingbei Army, and world peace? He is going to die before he even ascends the throne?"

"Shut up! You are so arrogant! This has nothing to do with the lord!"

"Oh! Shut up? Are you so anxious now? In other words, all of this was secretly done by you self-proclaimed loyalists? You put your lord in such a difficult position, tut tut tut... What is your intention?"

"I told you to shut up! Shut up!"

Xu Chengfeng was also crazy. Seeing that Ji Mo couldn't spit out ivory from his mouth, he was so excited that he struggled fiercely without fear of the blade on his neck. Maybe Ji Mo's contempt hit his soft spot, or maybe he felt that he was wronged and insulted. Xu Chengfeng looked at Ji Mo with fierce eyes, and all he said was threats and cruelty.

"Ji Mo, you are so protective of the witch, aren't you afraid that your actions will destroy your foundation of many years, and that the Qiji Hall behind you will be burned down, and your entire clan will be wiped out?"

"Are you threatening me?" Ji Mo sneered. With the blade on one side, Xu Chengfeng's neck instantly turned red. "Today, I, Ji Mo, am here. I will protect her. If anyone hurts her, it will be like hurting my life. If anyone touches her, I will fight you to the death!"

Unexpectedly, this guy was not afraid at all. Not only was he not afraid of resistance, but he also raised his neck towards the knife. Xu Chengfeng sneered and raised his eyebrows to look at Ji Mo.

"Come on, I'm not afraid of you. Even if I die, today will be the day for the witch to die, and it will also be the day for you, Ji Mo, and everyone in Qijitang to die!"

"Death date? Very good! It would be better if this were the case. If I, Ji Mo, am lucky enough to survive today, even if Qijitang is completely destroyed, as long as I, Ji Yizi, still have a breath left, I swear that if anyone hurts my beloved treasure, I will make that person, as well as all his family members, relatives and old friends after him, never rest in peace for the rest of their lives!"

The words "beloved treasure" made Li Yaoguang's heart tremble.

How could she have deserved the protection from her father and brother at the cost of everything?

It would be a lie to say that I wasn't moved! Li Yaoguang's heart was deeply troubled and moved.

"Mad! What a madman!" Xu Chengfeng simply couldn't believe that the man in front of him could do such a thing for a woman. He couldn't help but look at Li Yaoguang with even more fear in his eyes, "The witch is really causing chaos among the people!"

This guy kept nagging and cursing her father and brother. Li Yaoguang was so angry that she came to her senses and kicked him hard without letting him off.

"You are the lunatic! I am at home and have never provoked you. I have even rejected all the affections of your so-called master. Why are you mad at me? You are a lunatic, a dead lunatic, and your whole family is lunatic!"

"You witch, you still want to quibble. Today is your death. Ahem... Ji, what did you feed me?"

Xu Chengfeng sneered and despised the witch who dared to scold him, but halfway through his words, something was suddenly stuffed into his mouth. Xu Chengfeng coughed violently and glared at the culprit anxiously, questioning him.

However, Ji Mo smiled wickedly and replied calmly, "Oh, nothing, I just made some poison pills when I was bored." As he said that, Ji Mo raised his hand and wiped the other person's body with disgust, as if he was wiping something dirty. It was not very aggressive but extremely insulting.

Xu Chengfeng was so angry that he vomited blood. "You, you! You are so abominable! Come here, don't spare me, act quickly, and kill the witch and this man!"

As the voice fell, the sound of a blade breaking through the air was heard. At the same time, Ji Mo did not hold back. He swung out the Mo Dao again with a clang, stabbed Xu Chengfeng neatly, kicked the guy away, swept away the sharp blade that was swung in front of him, protected Li Yaoguang and retreated quickly, keeping a distance. Facing the rain of guns and arrows, Ji Mo took Li Yaoguang and fled in the direction of the palace road from which they came.

In the current situation, the strategy of capturing the king is obviously not feasible, as the other party is determined to drag his Yaoguang to hell even if he dies. So, the most important thing is to take this opportunity to escape.

Seeing them rushing out of the palace building, the seriously injured Xu Chengfeng was still unwilling to give up. He covered his stomach wound with one hand and fiercely issued orders, "Chase, chase them all! Order all palace gates to be sealed, and capture these two at all costs! Kill without mercy!"

Immediately afterwards, whether it was the guards on the palace building, the two groups of soldiers on the square, or even the death squad who had just retreated according to the order, they all moved and chased and surrounded the two people who jumped onto the roof.

Things are unpredictable. I found that in this world, bad luck always picks on the unfortunate. The youngest son of my elementary school classmate has a brain tumor with water accumulation and urgently needs surgery. The poor kid was scalded by boiling water when he was a child. It has only been a short time since he recovered, but the scars on his body are still there. Bad luck strikes again...
