Concubine Chongxi: Binding the Medicine Jar to the Master

Chapter 450 The Golden Step Yao in the Ruins

On the way back to Xiqi, Mo Li's brows did not relax, and he spoke less.

Baili Jiuge was still on the same horse with him, hugging his lapel, trying to comfort Mo Li with a smile.

"I'm fine." Mo Li finally showed a smile, gentle and shallow, like a pear pistil blooming in warm spring.He lowered his head, looked at Baili Jiuge's eyes full of encouragement, and then looked at the lapels in their arms, and said softly: "It's just what I've experienced in the past few days, which inevitably makes me care. But now, everything can be broken." , might not be a good thing. So don't worry about me, okay, Jiuge?"

Baili Jiuge said: "I just want you to cheer up, thinking that Jin'er and I will always be with you, and share with me when we are unhappy."

"Jiuge..." Mo Li's heart warmed, he kissed Baili Jiuge's forehead, and said softly, "Okay."

On the way back to Xiqi, General Zhang escorted Mo Yang's coffin and accompanied him in the team.

Baili Jiuge was afraid that Mo Li would feel uncomfortable seeing the coffin again, so he persuaded him to move into the carriage.She hugged her lapel and was in the carriage with Mo Li. With the bumps of the wheels, Baili Jiuge's charming persuasion almost never stopped.

With Baili Jiuge's hard work, Mo Li's mood improved a lot, and gradually regained his usual calm smile, hugging Baili Jiuge, playing with Jin'er.Almost losing Jiuge and Jin'er this time, made Mo Li more gentle and considerate to them while worrying about gains and losses, pouring out his sincerity and tenderness to them.

It was night, the moonlight was clear, a horse came running from a distance, and the man on the horse was Yu Lei, who leaned close to Mo Li's ear outside the window of the carriage, and whispered: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the soldiers who stayed in the palace We searched the ruins of the fire site thoroughly, and found 830 corpses, all burned to nothing..."

Baili Jiuge immediately wanted to ask if he had seen Mo Yi and Gu Lian escape from the fire scene. Yu Lei happened to mention this, took a step out, handed it to Baili Jiuge, and said: " Empress, when the soldiers were cleaning up the ruins, they found this Bu Yao."

Baili Jiuge took over the Bu Yao, the pure gold material was slightly damaged due to the fire overnight, but it can still be seen that the decorative pattern of the Bu Yao is a pair of flounder, engraved with two small The word, "ripple".

"This is Gu Lian's Bu Yao." Baili Jiuge's face turned pale, and he asked, "Yu Lei, where did you find this Bu Yao?"

Yu Lei couldn't bear it and said: "The entire palace was burned down, and I don't know where it is, but this Bu Yao was found next to a corpse, but the body was burnt, and it was impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman." ..."

Baili Jiuge's heart trembled, and he hurriedly said: "That can't be Gu Lian! Even if Gu Lian's Bu Yao appeared in the ruins, so what? Maybe she accidentally dropped it when she escaped. It's chaos, Gu Lian lost his step, and someone died beside him, it's not impossible. Anyway, I don't believe anything will happen to Mo Yi and Gu Lian, they must escape!"

Yu Lei said: "Of course this subordinate also hopes to be like this. Then empress, do you think you should send someone to look around? Actually, this subordinate has something in his heart, and he doesn't know whether to say it or not."

"Just say it!"

Yu Lei said: "Subordinates feel that King Xian's martial arts are so high, and Princess Eldest has also practiced some physical skills. If they escape from the palace, they will definitely come to join us soon, but now they have no news. So The subordinates feel that... more bad luck than good luck."

"Stop talking." Baili Jiuge interrupted Yu Lei, she couldn't bear to listen any more.

Mo Li raised her hand, and gently rubbed the center of Baili Jiuge's brows, comforting her.

"Mo Li..." Baili Jiuge bit his lips anxiously, and murmured: "I know Yu Lei's words are not without reason, but I'm also worried about Mo Yi and Gu Lian, what if, what if they really..."

"Don't think too much, Jiu Ge." Mo Li said softly: "I feel the same as you. This kind of matter is unresolved, and it is a torture for everyone. But you said that you believe that good things are rewarded with good things, so I agree." Let me not torture myself with this matter, okay?"

"I...understood." Baili Jiuge smiled at Mo Li.

"Well..." Mo Li also smiled, and said to Yu Lei: "Order, let the soldiers continue to clean up the palace, and you can take my token and go to several state capitals on the border to see how the parents will deal with the follow-up. How is the progress of the matter? If you have any difficulties, you can go to other nearby state capitals to mobilize manpower and material resources. When I return to Xiqi, I will naturally deal with these matters immediately, so that they can do their jobs well and don't have to worry about the court. "

"This subordinate knows." Yu Lei took the token from Mo Li's hand and cupped his hands, "Then this subordinate will retire now."

"Ah."

Not long after Yu Lei left, Baili Jiuge took Mo Li's hand and asked, "I remembered something, Mo Li, where are Mo Yi's family members in Xiqi? That masked man was probably killed Mo Yi was killed, his subordinates should be able to hear the news, and they will attack Mo Yi's family."

Mo Li said: "Don't worry. Since the eldest brother decided to fight back, he must have arranged for his family. I told you before that the eldest brother will use people from the Yinyang family to help secretly replace his family."

"You said it..." Baili Jiuge murmured, took a deep breath, calmed down his thoughts, and only hoped that everything would be fine.

On the day he returned to Xiqi City, Mo Li started to deal with the follow-up matters at Huoquan.A large number of manpower, material and financial resources were allocated, accompanied by reliable civil and military officials, to coordinate the follow-up restoration and construction, and to report back the development of the border situation at intervals of three days.

I heard the news from over there that the fire spring is now full of clear water from Pei Ze, gradually moistening the surrounding land, and the river that was about to dry up has stopped and continues to dry up, and the water volume will be restored when a heavy rain comes Yes, Baili Jiuge is very happy for this good news.

That night, Baili Jiuge took Jin'er to Yannian Hall to please the Empress Dowager.Because of Mo Yang's death and the truth of everything, the Empress Dowager was hit hard, and she almost had a migraine again.Fortunately, Baili Jiuge massaged her in time, and told her the news that Li Yuheng was not dead, and the empress dowager gradually calmed down.

After comforting the Empress Dowager, Jing Liufeng and Baili Xiao came soon after. After the family talked for a while, Baili Xiao mentioned Rong Weijun, saying that Rong Weijun and Ziqi walked along the Linhua Palace earlier. He groped for the tunnel next to him, and finally found two exits, one was the courtyard stronghold of the masked man, and the other was the abandoned old house of King Xiangyu.

Originally, Ziqi was going to pass on this discovery to Mo Li, but Baili Xiao thought that it would be a waste of time for letters to come and go, and there would inevitably be extra problems in the process, so Bai Li Xiao held the token left by Mo Li before leaving, The garrison on the outskirts of Xiqi was dispatched, and the masked man's stronghold was pulled out overnight.Those white-clothed men who refused to surrender were wiped out immediately, and the rest were arrested and put in prisons, and no one was allowed to sneak out to report the news.Those who were brought back together with the white-clothed people also looked like family members of wealthy families. After Baili Xiao interrogated them, he realized that they were the family members of King Xiangyu, and because of the clues provided by Rong Weijun, Baili Xiao asked where Mo Yi's family was under house arrest in Xiqi.

Rong Weijun immediately went to explore that alley at night.

At this moment, Baili Jiuge was shaking his lapel, and Rong Weijun came to visit, twitched his wide sleeves, squinted those deep eyes like peach blossom pools, with a carefree smile, saluted the Queen Mother, and Hearing that Baili Jiuge was talking about his visit that night, he smiled and told the story.

"What happened that night was quite dramatic. Originally, I wanted to step on it first, so that I could come back and discuss the rescue plan with General Baili. However, I hid on the beam and hadn't finished observing. The group of men and women under house arrest The old and the young actually started fighting with the man in white."

Baili Jiuge was surprised.What is Mo Yi's family doing?
The Empress Dowager also asked with great concern: "Then what happens next?"

"The next thing..." Rong Weijun said with a smile: "there are a lot of people in white clothes, but as soon as they fight, I can see that they are not the opponents of that group of men, women and children. As expected, they were killed If there is no one left, the group of men, women and children will act as if nothing has happened, and prepare to leave after sprinkling the corpse water."

"And then?" Baili Jiuge asked.

"Then, they discovered me." Rong Weijun said.

"Ah?" Baili Jiuge said in shock: "Then did they attack you, Xiaorong, how did you escape?"

"There's no need to run away." Rong Weijun shrugged, stroked the back of his head and smiled: "I just used my life to prove my identity, and they said they were not the enemy, and they asked me to tell Mo Li, please rest assured, and told them I will protect Mr. Mo Yi's family."

Baili Jiuge thought about it carefully, and it's not hard to figure out that those men, women, children, and children are not Mo Yi's family members. Mo Yi has indeed asked someone to smuggle out his family members, and the ones left behind should belong to the Yin Yang family. The master is easy to cover.

Baili Jiuge said: "This is another large-scale internal strife in the Yin Yang family."

Rong Weijun said: "That's why they killed them cleanly, without leaving any traces. It's really embarrassing for the Yin Yang family to be so brutal and chaotic."

Baili Jiuge asked: "Then Xiaorong, do you know who the mastermind of this matter is? Who helped Mo Yi exchange his family?"

Rong Weijun's eyes deepened, and he said with a smile: "It's a young woman who has changed into the sister-in-law of Mr. Mo Yi. She is also among those men, women and children. Looking at her eyes, her usual style should be compassionate, but she is the one who strikes." There will be no room for time... I heard someone call her 'Xian Ling Jun', and she also said that she would go back to the Western Shu Kingdom to meet the Suzerain and explain the ins and outs of the matter."

Baili Jiuge was startled, and exchanged glances with the Empress Dowager.She knew that among the Lords of Yin-Yang and Nine Spirits, this Lord Xianling was still above Mo Yi, so he was supposed to be a formidable character.Thinking of her internal strife to help Mo Yi this time, Baili Jiuge hoped that the Suzerain would be able to see clearly and not blame Xian Lingjun and Mo Yi.She hoped that news from Mo Yi and Gu Lian would come soon...

On the contrary, he has been busy in the palace for the past few days, and Baili Jiuge felt that his body was heavy, so he stopped working and concentrated time to rest for two days.

On September 27th, he felt that he was in good spirits and could continue to work, so Baili Jiuge took dozens of servants from the palace to search Linhua Palace.
