Skeletal Remains
Mo Ruo and Ji Yunshu shared the same concerns.
If this matter were to spread to the capital, it would definitely cause a storm. The consequences would be obvious even if one thought about it with their toes!
Jing Rong was in a dilemma.
He couldn't stay in Yufu County for the rest of his life.
He couldn't let Jing Yi ascend the throne, so he had to return to the capital.
Mo Ruo continued, "Moreover, if you attack the mountain, the bandits might kill Miss Ji in a fit of rage. Can you bear the consequences?"
Jing Rong gradually calmed down after analyzing the situation.
"You're right, I can't act rashly. Now that they have the upper hand and Yunshu's life is in their hands, I can only think of another way."
"What do you want to do?"
"Bring some people to Gaoshan Village."
Mo Ruo was surprised and pulled him. "How are you going to go like this?"
Jing Rong's eyes darkened. "After they captured Yunshu, they could have shot me to death in the forest, but they didn't do so. So, like we said before, they must have an ulterior motive. But if they have an ulterior motive, why haven't they sent any news or letters? If that's the case, I'll go there myself. "
Resolute!
"But aren't you just throwing your life away? You know that Gaoshan Village is full of traps. If there's another rain of arrows, you won't be so lucky. If something happens to you, what will happen to Miss Ji? "
"I promised Yunshu that as long as I'm here, I won't let her get hurt. That's my promise."
Mo Ruo reached out and pressed on Jing Rong's hand, trying his best to persuade him. "I promised Miss Ji that I wouldn't let you go. I won't go back on my words. I also promise you that she will be fine in Gaoshan Village. For now, you should recover from your injuries first, then we'll decide what to do next."
Jing Rong shook his hand off, but he pulled his wound. The pain made him frown and break out in cold sweat.
Mo Ruo immediately pressed him down and sat him down.
He took out a delicate box from his sleeve, opened it, and took out a pill.
She stuffed it into Jing Rong's mouth.
"Look at yourself now, you don't have the strength to go to Gaoshan Village. Even if the eight-bearer palanquin carried you up, the mountain top is humid and the ground is weak. You might even die there. What you should do now is to trust Miss Ji."
Trust her!
It was as if there was no other choice.
Jing Rong gasped for breath. After swallowing the pill, he gradually felt better.
She looked up weakly and stared at a small green willow outside the window.
After a long time …
"Help me pass down my orders. Regardless of whether it's the Jingzhou soldiers or the people from the county yamen, they are to hold back for now."
Mo Ruo nodded. "Mhm."
At this moment, outside the door.
Ji Wanxin had heard everything the two men had said just now, clearly and clearly.
Her eyes were bloodshot and filled with tears, but her eyes were clearly filled with unwillingness and displeasure.
Furthermore —
It was filled with ruthlessness.
She took a few steps back and slipped away.
Soon, Mo Ruo gave the order to temporarily put aside the soldiers in the county government.
Lang Po also sent a letter after that.
When Marquis Kang heard that Jing Rong would trade the Golden Woven Armor for his three thousand soldiers, he agreed without hesitation. He even personally led the troops out of Jingzhou.
Along the way, he kept muttering the Golden Woven Armor, Golden Woven Armor, Golden Woven Armor …
It was something he had yearned for his entire life!
When Lang Po received the order, he temporarily settled down at the border of Shanhuai County with his three thousand soldiers and awaited further orders.
Gaoshan Village.
A day had passed. Based on the bone fragments, Ji Yunshu had managed to draw out the mandible of the deceased.
As for whether it was accurate or not, it would depend on the effects of the other bone fragments.
She twisted her sore neck and heaved a sigh of relief.
She turned her head to look at Wei Yi, who was sleeping soundly.
That kid was sleeping soundly. He pursed his lips, and saliva was dripping from the corner of his mouth. Perhaps he was having a delicacy dream.
Pfft —
Ji Yunshu could not help but laugh.
She shook her head slightly.
She retracted her gaze and looked outside. Before she knew it, the sky had already turned dark.
Perhaps it was because Gaoshan Village was located at the top of a mountain, but the round, translucent moon in the ink-black sky was facing the open door of the house.
The light seemed to be coming from behind the rice paper, sprinkling on the ground, giving it a silvery sheen.
It felt like she was in Chang 'e's Palace!
Ji Yunshu took off her gloves and walked to the center of the doorway, looking at the lonely round moon.
Her plain robe and skirt fluttered like vines.
After a while, she turned around and entered the room. She sat down and closed her eyes for a while.
But when she awoke —
She was shocked!
The skeleton that was originally placed on the table had actually shattered.
She got up and examined it carefully.
Twenty-four ribs had been smashed into smithereens.
The shoulder bone and the entire hand bone were also smashed beyond recognition.
At this moment, the bone fragments that were originally pieced together were piled together like playing mahjong!
"What … what happened?"
Ji Yunshu quickly called the people outside in and pointed at the pile of bones. "How did this happen?"
The two bandits widened their eyes and looked at each other, shaking their heads.
Lang Po was also shocked.
He stammered, "How … how did this happen? We don't know either. "
"Did anyone come in here?"
"No one! We've been standing guard outside, no one could have come in. How … "
Was it a supernatural incident?
Ji Yunshu was a little flustered, but she maintained her composure.
The bones were shattered, and it was impossible to restore the original appearance.
Zhao Huai and Zhao Qing quickly heard about this and rushed over.
Zhao Huai was furious and summoned a group of people.
He questioned, "Who did this?"
"First Master, it wasn't us. We didn't touch the bones. Only Teacher Ji and that fool were inside."
"Yes, we really don't know."
They pointed at Ji Yunshu one by one.
F * ck!
Ji Yunshu's mind was filled with these two words. How could she destroy these skeletons?
She was exhausted!
Zhao Qing asked Ji Yunshu, "Weren't you inside at the time?"
"I rested for a while and woke up like this."
"That's strange. No one came in, so the bones couldn't have been shattered."
Ji Yunshu was puzzled.
She looked around the room. This room was strange. Apart from a door, there wasn't even a small window.
It was like a prison cell!
And the only way out of this was —
Ji Yunshu turned to Zhao Huai, "First Master, can you send someone up to the roof to take a look?"
Zhao Huai was deep in thought. He signaled his men with his eyes.
Two of them leaped onto the roof beam.
After a short while, the tiles on top of the skeleton were lifted. Moonlight shone through and fell on the skeleton.
The people on the roof looked down through the small opening.
Ji Yunshu looked up and asked, "Take a look at the roof. Is there anything strange?"
The two men replied, "Nothing."
"Footprints?"
"Nothing."
"Are there any signs of someone tampering with the roof tiles?"
"I think … I don't think so."
Could it be that she had guessed wrong?
Ji Yunshu pondered for a moment, but she couldn't figure it out. She ordered the two men to come down.
When they came down, they patted their clothes that were covered in pudding.
They said in disgust, "Really, it's filthy and covered in moss. I only have this set of clothes."
