Concubine Chongxi: Binding the Medicine Jar to the Master

Chapter 440 Two Masked Men

After a long time, under Mo Li's comfort, Baili Jiuge gradually improved.

She forced herself to say to Mo Li: "I'm fine, no matter what, we have to hurry to the palace."

"Well, let's eat something first." Mo Li supported Baili Jiuge to sit down.

Yufeng lit a fire and roasted the hunted game together with the roe that Yulei had brought.Baili Jiuge finally filled his stomach, and then took the anti-fetal medicine, was hugged by Mo Li, found a cave, and fell asleep in his arms.

After traveling for many days, Baili Jiuge couldn't see a smile because of his anxiety.Mo Li noticed her strangeness, and could only comfort her softly.Baili Jiuge smiled and told Mo Li not to worry, saying that he just missed Jin'er.

After many days, they arrived at the border and joined a group of soldiers led by General Zhang.Afterwards, the situation here left everyone shocked and speechless.

In the past, there was a river here, which was originally in the territory of Dashang. At that time, Mo Li came here to relieve the disaster and reached an agreement with Yin Haochen to use the river water for the people of Zhou Kingdom, which alleviated the drought.

But now, this area is as hot as a crater, and the dry and cracked land spreads to the horizon, and there is no grass growing ten miles away.The house was surrounded by heat, like a dilapidated mirage, surrounded by dead trees.The road is blue, and thirsty corpses can be seen everywhere. Those living people whose skin is sallow due to thirst have no choice but to lie down in front of the corpse and suck blood, regardless of how long the person has been dead.

Baili Jiuge approached the river, only to see a narrow stream of water flowing through the wide river bed, hundreds of people were lying on the edge of this thin muddy water, drinking muddy water recklessly water.

Before such a scene, even Mo Li was startled.Since his class teacher returned to the imperial court, he has been lingering and sick for many days, and he has been with Jiuge and Jin'er every day during the three months after the curse was lifted.The news was not smooth, and he didn't know that this place had once again become a hell on earth.

A nearby magistrate happened to come here and looked at Mo Li and the others in surprise.

Mo Li looked at the man's black gauze hat, and said, "Which county are you the parent official, come and speak in front of me."

Hearing the word "zhen", Zhixian felt like being struck by five thunders, then rubbed his eyes and looked at Mo Li's demeanor, then suddenly knelt on the ground, and shouted, "My lord, help me! Save the people here!"

The people froze immediately, and those who drank water turned their heads to look with their mouthfuls of sand in their mouths.The vampire was still holding the corpse, and stared at Mo Li in a daze, letting the rotting blood stain the corners of his lips.

Is the saint coming?Is that man really His Majesty?

The people wept bitterly: "My lord, help me! My lord, help me!"

The county magistrate mournfully shouted: "That fire spring is crazy. It has made us like this these past few months. The magistrates jointly signed a report, and the news was finally sent to Xiqi. A few days ago, the Supreme Emperor and the humble official said that the fire spring can be restored. It's normal, and said that you will come here, my lord. My lord, please save the poor people!"

"You get up first." Mo Li bowed, helped the magistrate up, and sighed slightly.

He must not ignore the tragedy here.According to the father, I'm afraid he also guessed that he would come here after Jin'er.In this way, is the father really going to use Jin'er to restore the fire spring?
Looking around at the people kneeling and kowtowing, crying for help, Mo Li said sadly: "I will not ignore you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Heartbroken, Baili Jiuge held Mo Li's arm with a strong smile, and asked, "Then are we going to the palace to meet the emperor now? And Jin'er..."

"Let's go to the palace." Mo Li patted Baili Jiuge's hand.

"Okay, let's go to the palace."

Mo Li sighed, and said to the county magistrate: "It's been hard for you during this time, I'll go to see my father first. You are all my people, and I will find a way to solve the Huoquan matter."

"Thank you, my lord!" Zhixian knelt down again, kowtowed and cried.

Walking away amidst the ups and downs of wailing, Baili Jiuge clutched his heart uncomfortably, as if there was blood gushing out of his throat.

Sitting in a carriage, bumping on the dry and cracked ground, in the distance, the silhouette of the palace stands on this piece of scorched earth, getting closer and clearer little by little.

Fear arises spontaneously, and Baili Jiuge is suddenly extremely afraid of stepping into the palace.The closer you get to the final outcome, the more you feel that getting closer to death is a painful thing that you can't breathe.However, if she wants to save Jin'er, she must step into the palace resolutely and face everything!
All the way in silence, until the sun went down, Mo Li gave General Zhang a few words outside the palace.

Holding Baili Jiuge's hand, they stepped in through the open palace gate that looked like a bloody mouth, and the two of them walked towards the main hall amidst the guards flanking the path to welcome them.

Before reaching the main hall, a servant ran over and said in a low voice: "Please stop, the emperor and the empress, and the servants will report to the Supreme Emperor." The servant left after saying that.

Baili Jiuge asked in surprise: "Why didn't you stop us when you first entered the palace gate, but let us stop halfway? Mo Li, why can't we go to the main hall and wait for the emperor?"

A guard said faintly: "Empress Empress, you will not see the Supreme Emperor today."

"What did you say?" Baili Jiuge became vigilant.

The next moment, the guards on both sides surrounded the two of them and showed their swords.

Mo Li protected Baili Jiuge, Yufeng Yuying Yulei immediately drew his sword to protect him, Baili Jiuge held the short knife in his hand, and snorted: "Do you want to rebel?"

A strange and deep laugh sounded just as Baili Jiuge's voice fell, and it was creepy, floating from behind.

Turning his face to look, Baili Jiuge couldn't forget the scene in front of him no matter what.She saw the masked man, his treacherous eyes were extremely gloomy under the cloak, he smiled coldly, and deliberately raised the lapels in his arms.

"Mother! Father!" Jin'er cried terribly.

The voice hit her ears and broke Baili Jiuge's heart. She almost rushed forward desperately, "Jin'er! Jin'er!"

"Jiu Ge." Mo Li hugged her body, and the cold light in his eyes stared at the masked man fiercely, "Who is Your Excellency!"

The masked man sneered: "Who is this seat, this is not an important question. Please move your majesty and empress to the side hall and have a good rest, otherwise, what if this seat accidentally hurts the little princess?"

"You!" Baili Jiuge scoffed, "Give us back the quilt! What are you trying to do by letting Mo Yi take our daughter away!"

"Hehe, I believe the Empress Dowager knows what I want to do."

Baili Jiuge froze, and said angrily, "Who are you! Where is the father? Does the father let you be arrogant in the palace?"

The doubt in my heart seemed to be shoveled out by a shovel, and Baili Jiuge had no choice but to suspect that the father really had something to do with the Yin Yang family and the masked man!

"Hehe..." There was another weird laugh, the same masked man's voice, but it came from behind.

Baili Jiuge knew that most of the voices were like this after taking voice-changing drugs, but when she looked at them, she was shocked.

There are actually two masked men?
She didn't have a blind eye, there were really two masked men, one behind the other, blocking them in the middle.Surrounded by guards holding swords, they formed a circle of encirclement.Then, one after another, men in white rushed out from the shadows, mixed with the guards, and aimed their swords at Mo Li and Baili Jiuge.

"You guys!" Baili Jiuge pulled out his dagger excitedly, glanced at the two identical masked men in front and behind, and scoffed angrily: "Aren't you afraid that Mo Li and I will forcefully break in? Crowd, when I am Qihuagu Is it a waste of fame?"

The masked man holding Jin'er snorted coldly, pinched Jin'er with his hands, and Jin'er screamed and cried in pain.

This heart-piercing sound made Baili Jiuge almost faint in Mo Li's arms.

Mo Li hugged Baili Jiuge and roared angrily, "Don't hurt Jin'er!"

The masked man sneered: "This seat will say it one last time. If you don't want her to get hurt, please move to the side hall."

"Jin'er!" Baili Jiuge shouted, his furious eyes pierced the masked man's face coldly.

Jin'er is the gate of life for her and Mo Li, even if Tianji Mizhen and Ming Ning Shixian can save Jin'er, the two of them dare not gamble because it takes time.

"You despicable person!" Baili Jiuge pointed at the masked man with a knife, and said, "You know that Mo Li and I did not come alone, the army we dispatched is outside the palace. Since you want to imprison me and Mo Li , those sergeants will definitely surround the palace and won't let you succeed!"

The two masked men snorted coldly at the same time, and the one holding the lapel said: "I just need to take this doll out, and the rest of you can play here with you. Alas, Queen, how about you?" What a pity, to face such a fate at such a young age..."

"Shut up!" Baili Jiuge snorted fiercely, and when the words fell, his lower abdomen felt a little cramped.She quickly covered her lower abdomen, gasping for breath.

Another masked man also said regretfully: "A person with a body is still so reckless. Hundreds of miles and nine songs, has no one told you before? Things that are too rigid are easy to break..."

Baili Jiuge panted and replied: "I only know that what the heart wants is to be indomitable!"

It's about Jin'er, she will never accept her fate!Mo Li had previously instructed General Zhang to secretly surround the palace, but now that it was getting dark, the outside of the palace must have been controlled by General Zhang.

Suddenly, someone shouted in horror: "It's on fire!"

No one expected that flames sprang up outside the palace, and the four sides were on fire at the same time. The flames rushed high into the half-dark sky and raged towards the palace.

Baili Jiuge said in shock: "Mo Li, this..."

"It wasn't General Zhang who did it." Mo Li replied firmly, his eyes darkened immediately, and he said in a low voice, "I'm afraid it's Big Brother."

Was it Mo Yi who set the fire on fire?Baili Jiuge was stunned, looking at the guards and men in white who were starting to be confused, turned his eyes to Mo Li and said in a low voice: "It's an opportunity, while they are not paying attention, I will use my life to hide Jin'er with ten lines."

"En." Mo Li made a decisive decision, and the silver thread slipped out quietly from under the sleeve.

He exerted his attention to the extreme, controlling the silver thread to move forward, avoiding everyone's eyes.
