Concubine Chongxi: Binding the Medicine Jar to the Master

Chapter 329 If I Die, Their Mother and Daughter Will Be Entrusted to You

In front of the barracks gate.

Yuying walked on her own, stopped here, like a statue without looking back, until Mo Hong followed, he turned and left.

Mo Hong didn't have any expression on his face. He looked at the soldiers who were gnashing their teeth at him with neither sadness nor joy. Then he went out of the gate and walked towards Lucheng along the dark road.

The road is very long, and you have to go through a forest to reach the plain.The woods were gloomy, and because it was winter, there were no insects singing, and the occasional crows were eerily scary and empty.

Walking along the path in the forest, Mo Hong suddenly smelled a smell, it was a fragrant soup... and it was broth.

Someone is cooking broth, and it is in this wood.

Mo Hong continued to walk forward, and it didn't take long to find that both sides of the path were full of sacks, exuding the smell of grain, as if they were grain and grass.The grain and grass were packed in countless sacks and lined up along the road.

Then many Zhou soldiers appeared, working together to carry the grain and grass, and said while moving: "We have brought in new grain and grass. There are so many, enough to last half a year. Let's move back quickly. The logistics of the war are very difficult." It's important, places like Lucheng that squeeze the people and confiscate the people's food, will run out of food in a short time!"

Mo Hong naturally listened to all these words. Not long after, he also saw the people who were cooking the broth. They were also soldiers of the Zhou army. They were in groups of three or four, drinking the soup, and said beautifully: "Our supplies are too big. Well, even the meat has been delivered, let’s eat some secretly first, and then send the rest back to other brothers to eat!”

"Yeah, man, this broth is delicious!"

"The combination of meat and vegetables is good."

They were so busy that they didn't have time to talk to Mo Hong.Mo Hong just walked all the way, and saw that the entire road was full of grain and grass, such a quantity surprised Mo Hong.

He left the forest and continued walking along the plain. After walking for a long time, he finally returned to Lucheng.

Then, Mo Hong told Wang Zhi about the situation.After Wang Zhi heard about this, he immediately had an idea...

It was a peaceful night.

Mo Li's body healed quickly under the influence of the Nine Colors Ganoderma lucidum and many spiritual herbs.On the second day, the blood on his face had almost recovered, and what surprised everyone was that the deep wound on his chest had already healed one third.

The military doctors were amazed, and they said that the spirit grass of Zhonghuang Mountain is amazing.

However, Nine-color Ganoderma lucidum has been used as medicine to heal injuries, and the Yin-Yang curse in Mo Li's body is no longer suppressed by Nine-color Ganoderma... When Baili Jiuge thought of this, he felt extremely uncomfortable.

The Nine-Color Ganoderma Lucidum, which was finally found, was shattered again!

During the whole day, Baili Jiuge stayed with his parents and Jin'er, while Mo Li continued to be entangled in military affairs, and only came to have a small gathering with his wife, daughter and family during lunch time.

It's too fast to live like this.

In the blink of an eye, night was approaching, and Mo Li was arranging some things, as if he had already predicted something.

After receiving the order, he slowly walked towards the secluded corner on the edge of the barracks, where he saw the lone goose watching the sky at night.

He has something to say to Guyan.

"Hey, my brother-in-law is here." Gu Yan sensed Mo Li's approach, turned her head, and narrowed her humorous eyes.

"En." Mo Li responded, approached Gu Yan, and said slowly: "I won't live long, you should know."

Gu Yan was startled, "Brother-in-law, why did you just say that? Are you joking with me?"

Mo Li sighed softly, sure enough, Jiu Ge didn't tell Mr. Sikong...

He said: "Back in June, my Yin-Yang curse had deteriorated to the extreme. At that time, Ying Chang'an, the poisonous doctor, said that I could live for at least one year. Now, it's the end of the Xin Chou Year..."

That is, six months left?Gu Yan was struck by lightning, if he hadn't heard these words with his own ears, he thought, he might be kept in the dark by Hei Feng when his brother-in-law's life span is exhausted!

"Heifeng...does she really know?" Gu Yan couldn't bear to ask.The person who was the most painful to know about this matter was the junior sister, but she was still able to smile brightly and wantonly all the time, so strong that he couldn't notice the difference.

Mo Li nodded helplessly, "Now that the Nine Colors Ganoderma is used as medicine, even if it's gone, I don't know if I can live until this time next year... I'm afraid it's just barely."

Gu Yan swallowed bitterly, and after a lot of effort, finally showed a smiling face, "Don't talk so negatively, isn't there still half a year left? Maybe there will be some unexpected opportunities."

Mo Li slightly shook his head and smiled wryly: "But I have decided that I will not give up until I take over the Shang Kingdom. Maybe I will still be on the battlefield when I am about to die..."

Gu Yan's heart sank, his face was wrinkled by the cold night wind, he couldn't laugh anymore, he even felt a kind of sad emotion constantly churning, and he couldn't even cry.

After a long time, Mo Li said: "There is something I want to entrust to you."

Gu Yan didn't respond.

Mo Li said seriously: "You and Jiu Ge have been brothers and sisters for many years, and you also think about her wholeheartedly. If I die, their mother and daughter will be entrusted to you. Take them back to Phoenix Valley and stay away from the troubles of the world. Please agree I."

Gu Yan's lips curved into a bitter smile.

agree?
He didn't want to agree, he only knew that if his brother-in-law really went, the junior sister would never be free for the rest of his life.No matter how chic and cheerful she is, she is no match for the unforgettable pain and memories.

Mo Li smiled wryly: "You don't want to agree?"

Gu Yan shook his head, then nodded, "I promise you, but..." He stared at Mo Li's eyes, and said word by word: "Hei Feng is a person who believes in the future and is persevering. Since I followed her Here, I also know about you, brother-in-law, as long as there is even a little hope, I will help Heifeng fight for it. I hope you will not die!"

Mo Li smiled deeply, and said nothing, the two of them stood quietly, looking at the moon silently, letting the biting cold wind rage in their hearts.

Not long after, Mo Li left slowly, whispering: "It's almost here..."

"Who?" Gu Yan came to his senses as soon as he finished asking.

This means that Wang Zhi is almost here!
Sure enough, just as Zi Shi was approaching, the place where the grain and grass were stored in the rear was attacked.The flames soared into the sky, and the enemy set fire to the granary while looting the grain and grass.

"What's going on?" Baili Jiuge got out of the tent, saw the fire shining in the sky at a glance, and hurried over.

Then, she was surprised to find that the granary was surrounded by Mo Li's men, and the enemy troops who attacked the granary were all trapped in the encirclement, holding knives with fearful faces in the increasingly raging sea of ​​flames.

Baili Jiuge remembered that during the day, Mo Li told her that last night he got some grain and grass and placed them on the path Mo Hong returned to Lucheng, and asked the soldiers to secretly move the grain and grass in front of him where Mo Xun passed by. Go, so that Mo Hong will think that Zhou Ying has a lot of food and grass.But Lucheng's grain and grass are already in short supply, Wang Zhiding will come to burn their grain and grass, and grab as much as they can.

Baili Jiuge understood, it turned out that what Mo Li said last night, borrowing Mo Hong to send a message to Wang Zhi, was referring to this!
There are a total of 3000 defenders in Lucheng, and more than 2000 people came to attack the granary today. If they are taken down in one fell swoop, there is not much defense force left in Lucheng.

"Well done, Mo Li!" She knew that what was put in the granary was not grain at all, but sacks of weeds and branches.

Standing beside Mo Li, Baili Jiuge looked at the guards of Lucheng in the sea of ​​flames clearly, and sneered: "Put down your weapons and surrender, you will not die, otherwise when the fire burns, we just want to put out the fire and save you from fear." It's too late!"

The Lucheng soldiers exchanged looks tremblingly, but the eyes were a little muddy and weird.From their eyes, Baili Jiuge could read fear and difficulty in making a decision. It seemed that for some reason, they wanted to surrender, but they forced themselves to stand in the raging flames, holding their knives.

"Mo Li, why do they..." Why do they look so strange?What exactly is going on?
Baili Jiuge opened his mouth to ask.

At this time, someone cried out in grief and anger: "Brothers, what should we do? Wang Taishou will kill my old parents!"

"I can't surrender, I can't surrender, my wife still has my family's incense in her stomach..."

"If we die, what will the prefect Wang do with our family?"

As if struck by lightning, Baili Jiuge opened his lips in a daze and shook his head.

How could it be like this?She didn't expect that Wang Zhi would... No, she should have expected it to be like this!Wang Zhi not only used innocent people as shields, but also used those people to blackmail the soldiers guarding the city.

Why did Wang Zhi do this? !

She didn't believe it, that despicable villain did it out of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism!
In the ear, Mo Li's voice sounded, gentle and shallow, but contained the ultimate sharpness.

"Wang Zhi, this person...cannot be punished!"

He growled lowly, his eyes were stained with shadows, and Hua Guang frightened him, like a sword protruding angrily from a brocade of swords.

He asked coldly: "Do you know why Wang Zhi insisted on defending Lucheng?"

The soldiers shook their heads in horror, and in front of Mo Li's angry eyes, they instinctively waited for him to tell them the answer.

He said: "Since the fall of Guicheng, Emperor Zhaoyi has issued an order to all the prefects. If they can repel my Great Zhou, they will be promoted to three ranks, transferred to the capital of the court, named Marquis, and inherited for generations. Zhi is for his own selfishness, regardless of the life and death of everyone."

It said everything in one sentence, and it was like a knife, cutting the faces of the soldiers of Lucheng.The expressions on those faces became fragmented, and pain, hatred, grief, and resentment crazily occupied their emotions.

Baili Jiuge gradually recovered from his anger, and said: "Wang Zhi treats you like this, why do you have to sacrifice your life for him? Hurry up and surrender to save your life, anyway, we will take Lucheng sooner or later, your wives and children Aren't the parents rescued?"

"Jiuge, it's useless." Mo Li sneered bitterly: "With Wang Zhi's style, the soldiers who raided the granary today must return successfully, so that their families will be safe. If they can't go back, they will die in battle. One choice. There must be Wang Zhi's spy in ambush nearby, watching their every move, if anyone surrenders, their family members will be severely punished by Wang Zhi immediately, and they will be killed as an example."

Baili Jiuge's heart sank and her body shook a little. She asked tremblingly, "Mo Li, you...knew this would happen a long time ago? Did you intend to force them to death from the beginning?"
