Concubine Chongxi: Binding the Medicine Jar to the Master

Chapter 358 Great gift, are you satisfied?

The night was extremely quiet and chilling, Huang Zhengtian had a sneer on his lips, and he stayed away from Yin Haochen and the other generals.

Huang Zhengtian originally wanted to go back to rest earlier, and write a secret letter to His Majesty to report tomorrow, but when he passed by a dark place in the courtyard, he heard strange noises from the bushes under the corner.

Huang Zhengtian shouted in a low voice: "Who is sneaky, let's come out and talk!"

There was a rustling sound from behind the bushes, and then a young man walked out, it was Mo Hong.

Although he looked embarrassed, his eyes were as honest as clear water, and he said without any fear, "I'm not a meticulous worker."

"Then you are..." Huang Zhengtian looked at Mo Hong with great interest.

However, Mo Hong didn't answer for a long time, which made Huang Zhengtian narrow his eyes, looked around, and suddenly shouted: "Come here!"

Huang Zhengtian's confidants who were waiting outside the courtyard immediately ran in and took Mo Hong down with all his might.

Mo Hong didn't know martial arts, so he was tied tightly with a thick hemp rope.Huang Zhengtian immediately ordered Mo Hong to be brought in front of Yin Haochen. After all, the coach was Yin Haochen, and if he caught a suspicious person, he should be sent to Yin Haochen.

Huang Zhengtian's re-entering the house aroused the hatred of the generals.Then I saw Mo Hong, who was tied up in a big way, being kicked on the leg, and he knelt down.

"This is His Royal Highness the Great Shangchen King, why don't you kowtow quickly?"

Yin Haochen was startled, and said, "Who are you? Lift your head up."

"Oh, I see." Mo Hong raised his eyes neither humble nor overbearing, his face was clearly seen by Yin Haochen under the light of the candlelight.

Because Mo Hong and Mo Li were not very similar, Yin Haochen only thought they looked slightly familiar, and didn't think of Mo Li.

After Huang Zhengtian described the incident to Yin Haochen, he hugged his elbows to watch the excitement.

At this time, the inner room heard the cry of the child, followed by the voice of the nurse: "My lord, this child seems to be thirsty."

Yin Haochen saw that there was a glass of water on the table, and said, "Bring her over to drink water."

"Okay." The wet nurse hugged her lapel, patted and coaxed her, and came over.

Mo Hong moved his eyes to look, and when he saw Jin'er, a wave of shock flashed in his eyes, and then he took a deep breath.

Such a strange reaction aroused Yin Haochen's suspicion, Yin Haochen said in a deep voice, "What's wrong with you?"

Mo Hong had a surprised expression on his face, "Is this your child? He looks so cute."

Yin Haochen ignored Mo Hong, and several generals sneered at him.

After Jin'er finished drinking the water and was carried back to the house, Mo Hong was interrogated by the generals.Because Mo Hong was dressed in rags, his face was dirty and embarrassed, and he insisted that he was a beggar who had to come to beg for food because he was dying of hunger. Therefore, the generals could not interrogate him, so Yin Haochen asked Huang Zhengtian to arrest Mo Hong. Take it down and lock it up first.

Huang Zhengtian did as he did, and his cronies escorted Mo Hong and went out all the way.

When they walked out of the courtyard far away and arrived at the lonely place under the city wall of Tongguan, Huang Zhengcai waved away all his cronies and asked in a low voice: "Do you know the child in the Prince Chen's house just now?"

"I do not recognize."

Huang Zhengtian smiled slyly: "It's just the two of us here, let's open the skylight and tell the truth, maybe you can avoid prison if you tell the truth."

Mo Hong was stunned, thought for a while, and whispered: "I have indeed seen that child, her name is Mo Jin, and she is the daughter of Prince Zhou."

"It's her?" Huang Zhengtian was taken aback, "Boy, don't think you can talk nonsense here in Tongguan."

"I'm not lying. She is Mo Jin. I'm her little uncle. I won't mistake her."

Huang Zhengtian was even more surprised, and examined Mo Hong several times again, but he still couldn't connect this down-and-out boy with His Royal Highness Zhou Guo.

However, Huang Zhengtian is not a fuel-efficient lamp?I thought that as long as I try it, I can know whether the child is the daughter of Zhou Shizi.If it is true, then with this trump card in hand, why worry about Zhou's army not retreating?

Thinking about it this way, Huang Zhengtian patted Mo Hong's head kindly, and said with a smile: "Boy, you are very honest, so I will make an exception and prevent you from being sent to the cell. It seems that you are a tiger in peace, so I will I will prepare a wing room for you, you should eat and drink first."

Two days later.

time.

Zhou Jun suddenly launched a scramble attack on Tongguan.

Because the little county lord was taken away, Zhou's army fought against the enemy bravely.

The newly grown vegetation in early spring outside Tongguan was trampled by thousands of troops and turned into decay and withering.Mo Li was just under Tongguan, and his sharp eyes swept up from the galloping army horse, staring at the high wall of Tongguan.

He was supposed to come here on horseback, but since Jin'er was robbed, he no longer rode a horse, but sat on the chariot with Baili Jiuge.Just because he knew what kind of suffering Jiu Ge was enduring, he was afraid that her emotions would suddenly break like a taut string, so he would always be by her side and accompany her.

"Mo Li..." Baili Jiuge stood up, staring at Tongguan in a daze.

In the city wall made of thick bricks, her daughter was hungry, crying, and thinking about her parents.

"Jin'er, Jin'er..." Baili Jiuge leaned forward anxiously, looking through the autumn water.

Mo Li held her hand tightly, and the emotions of the two of them were also tightly linked together like this hand.

No one is having a good time these few days, no matter they are awake or in their dreams, they can only encourage each other, and the two of them support each other through this difficult day and night.

Now that the soldiers are approaching the city, Baili Jiuge's tone is gradually firm: "I believe that Yuying and Yin Haochen will guarantee Jin'er's safety, if Tongguan can be taken today, then as long as Lintong Pass is broken again, there will be no Guancheng outside the imperial capital. "

Moreover, if she guessed correctly, when they got to Lintong Pass, Raging Fire would definitely take action...

Under Tongguan, the soldiers had already boarded the ladder, and the offensive was fierce, making it difficult for the merchant army on the city wall to parry, and they had already lost their momentum.They even lost their arrows when they drew their bows, and they were all panicked, and it didn't work for several generals to sit here and command.

At this moment, Huang Zhengtian appeared on the city wall and yelled loudly: "Wait a minute, Mr. Zhou! Zhengtian has a big gift for you. You withdraw first, or Zhengtian guarantees that you will regret it!"

Mo Li and Baili Jiuge's hearts tightened, and their clasped hands were tightly intertwined.Mo Li signaled General Zhang with his eyes, and General Zhang immediately announced the suspension of the siege.

Afterwards, Huang Zhengtian threw down a package, "Go on! This is the great gift from Tongguan to Prince Zhou. Please have a look at Prince Zhou and the Imperial Concubine!"

Zhou's soldiers received the package, turned around and ran towards Mo Li, and came to the chariot at the fastest speed, and handed the package to Mo Li.

The moment Mo Li took the package, a chill rushed into his heart, as if it had no reason, but it brought him a feeling of extreme fear.

He frowned, his expression still calm, and he opened the package bit by bit, and the things hidden inside were slowly revealed.

It was the color of blood, piercing the eyes of the two like invisible thorns.

Blood, there is a lot of blood in this package, and there is also a small cloth bag hidden in it, which is even more blood-stained.

Whose blood is this?This question was like a sharp knife, slashing at Baili Jiuge's heart.

Jin'er is in Tongguan, whose blood is this, Baili Jiuge dare not think about the answer!
"Jiu Ge, close your eyes." Mo Li's voice tightened a bit.

"Mo Li, I don't..."

"Close your eyes." He almost ordered.

Baili Jiuge shook her head, no, she won't shut up, no matter what they are about to see, she doesn't want Mo Li to bear it alone.

"Mo Li, open it, I don't want you to face it alone, I want to be with you."

Mo Li's hands trembled a little, even his dexterous ten fingers, who were good at playing five notes, were trembling and clumsy facing the blood-stained cloth bag at this moment.

Overcoming the fear in his heart, he opened the last layer of cover.Also at the same time, the hearts of the two plummeted together, and Baili Jiuge almost fell to the ground screaming in pain.

This is wrapped in cloth, is a small hand.

A severed hand covered in blood.

The severed hand of the baby.

It's as big as Jin'er's little hand.

Baili Jiuge shook her head, "No, that's not the case..." She clung tightly to Mo Li's body, unable to believe it was true.

Jin'er, her daughter, is so young, she is about to lose a hand when she is less than one year old.Baili Jiuge couldn't imagine how terribly Jin'er cried when the knife chopped it off.

Feeling Mo Li trembling, Baili Jiuge hugged him even tighter, "Mo Li, you can't fall down, no one can fall down..."

"Nine Songs..." Mo Li murmured as if in frustration, followed by overwhelming anger.

He closed the cloth bag, and the moment he raised his eyes, he shot an unprecedented domineering gaze, as if he could tear the person he looked at into pieces.

Huang Zhengtian, who was far away on the city wall of Tongguan, felt the lethality, and his scalp was numb from the cold.But he was certain in his heart that the baby was indeed Mo Jin, the little county lord.

Huang Zhengtian forced a smile and shouted: "I wonder if Prince Zhou and Consort Shi are satisfied with this great gift? Is my sincerity in Tongguan enough for you two to withdraw now? If it is still not enough, then Zhengtian will prepare the gift again." Make it richer, what do you two think?"

"You!" Baili Jiuge broke down emotionally due to such a threat, and sneered in pain: "You dare! Bloody debts, I want you to pay bloody debts!"

On the city wall, a general asked suspiciously and angrily: "Huang Zhengtian, as a military governor, you actually acted without telling the prince. What did you give Zhou Shizi and the others?!"

"Hehe, you don't need to know." Huang Zhengtian smiled maliciously, and shouted again: "Have you made a decision between the prince and the concubine? Do you want to accept the gift and withdraw from the army, or do you want another big gift?"

Mo Li fixedly stared at Huang Zhengtian, the turbulent waves in his eyes, anger, fear, and killing intent were all churning, almost a flood that never happened in a century.

Under everyone's gaze, he slowly uttered two words: "Withdraw!"
