Tiger in the Mountains
Anchang Courtyard was besieged.
After Ji Yunshu escaped, Qiao 'er and Zhuang' er were captured, and Shi Zijin was also captured alive.
Madam Wen immediately sent people to chase after them.
Little Xiyue only released Ji Yunshu when she was safe. She looked at her mother with reddened eyes.
Unbelievable!
"Mother, didn't you say you liked Big Brother? Why did you kill him? "Her voice was choked with sobs.
However, Madam Wen ignored her.
"Why? Big Brother treated me well, and he's a good person. Mother, why did you kill him? Why? "
Slap!
Unexpectedly, Madam Wen slapped Little Xiyue's small, fair face.
"You're a bad person!"
This was the first time Little Xiyue had been slapped in her life.
The handprint on her face was clearly visible. She sniffled and covered her face. Her big eyes were filled with astonishment and shock, as well as tears. She looked at her mother, who was standing tall in front of her. She didn't feel sad, but felt that she was a stranger.
She had never seen a mother like this!
After a while, she said, "According to Confucius and Mencius, filial piety is the most important thing for sages. However, according to the First Classic, the Dao does not distinguish between heaven and earth, nor is it influenced by filial piety. Big Brother was not wrong, but Mother wanted to kill him. As a daughter, what's wrong with respecting the First Classic?"
It was said that the young Xiyue of the Wen family was intelligent and witty, and had read tens of thousands of books.
It was not surprising for her to say this.
Madam Wen's eyes widened. The hand that had just slapped Xiyue was still trembling.
She retracted her fierce gaze.
"Xiyue …" She said apologetically, "Mother didn't mean it. You won't understand. Mother didn't want to kill her, but to protect her."
"Liar! You're lying! "
"Mother didn't lie to you."
She wanted to reach out and touch Xiyue's small body, but the latter turned and looked at her as if she was a demon.
She raised her sharp voice, "You're a bad person."
After saying this, she covered her face and ran away.
Madam Wen was very upset.
But —
Now was not the time for her to feel guilty.
She walked to the captured Shi Zijin and said, "Don't worry, I won't kill you. I can't thank you enough for protecting Teacher Ji in secret."
Shi Zijin's cold eyes were like swords, as if the tip of the sword carried the most poisonous poison in the world.
"You don't need to look at me like that. Your Young Master will be fine.
If anyone in this world dares to kill her, I will be the first to kill that person. "
Who was she?
This was the question that arose in Shi Zijin's mind.
She remained cold and silent, still looking at the woman in front of her with the same gaze.
Madam Wen avoided her gaze and walked to Qiao 'er and Zhuang' er.
Qiao 'er and Zhuang' er had long been scared out of their wits. Both of them were trembling with cold sweat on their foreheads. Their eyes were wide open in horror.
Who wasn't afraid of death?
Madam Wen ordered the people who were holding them.
"Don't take their lives."
"Yes!"
Huh?
Qiao 'er and Zhuang' er looked at each other, and half of their fear disappeared.
In front of them.
Zuo Yao led his men from the county yamen and the martial arts masters who came out of nowhere and captured all the people in Anchang Court.
Those who were not strong enough were tied up in a pile with ropes.
Tang Si was among them.
But Mo Ruo was nowhere to be seen.
She really didn't expect that Zuo Yao would start a rebellion as soon as Jing Rong left with his men. He actually captured all Jing Rong's men. Fortunately, they weren't killed.
"You dog official, you better not let me live. Otherwise, I will definitely take your dog life." Tang Si shouted angrily.
Zuo Yao's originally submissive and treacherous face was now much more arrogant.
Ignoring Tang Si, he looked at the group of people tied up on the ground and questioned.
"Where is the other person?"
Of course, he was asking Mo Ruo.
No one answered.
"This official doesn't have …" Before he could finish the word 'patience', Tang Si sneered.
Tang Si sneered at him, "What 'this official'? You're a dog. Even tearing your body apart wouldn't be enough. "
"You still dare to talk back?"
"Bah! I'm telling the truth. Listen carefully, you're in cahoots with those thieves and stole the relief funds from the court. You're not qualified to be an official. Just you wait, all of you will definitely die a horrible death. "
Zuo Yao was furious and gnashed his teeth.
His pair of sunken eyes showed that he was trying to suppress his anger.
He said, "Miss Tang, you're not a citizen of the Great Lin and shouldn't be involved in this dispute. This official will give you a chance. Tell me, where is that Mo brat? As long as you tell me, I will let you go. "
Tang Si rolled her eyes.
She smiled.
"Alright, come here. Come closer and I will tell you."
As expected, Zuo Yao moved closer.
"Closer."
Closer.
"A little closer."
A little closer.
"Bah!"
Tang Si fiercely spat on his face, then burst into laughter.
Zuo Yao was exasperated and quickly wiped the saliva off his face with his sleeve.
"You're courting death!"
He raised his hand to hit her.
But —
He put it down again.
His face was red with anger.
Tang Si said in disdain, "Dog official, I should be the one giving you a chance. If you let us go now, it's still not too late. When His Highness comes back with his men, you still have a chance to live. Otherwise, I will tear you to pieces and throw you into the mountains to feed the wolves."
"His Highness?"
She snorted.
"Whether or not he can come back alive is still unknown!"
… …
Ji Yunshu did not know how to ride a horse. She had only ridden with Ji Pei a few times in the past, but she had memorized the technique.
After she escaped, she rode straight to the Si Family's silk shop in the suburbs.
At this moment, outside the door.
It was heavily guarded.
These people were all dressed in chilling black scale armor. There was a tiger's head on the left side of their chest and scales on their shoulders. Red cloth was tied around their necks and heads, and they held longswords in their hands. Their eyebrows were as sharp as needles.
They were stern and austere!
They looked heroic and heroic!
However, their attire was neither that of a Great Lin soldier nor one from the border.
Ji Yunshu rode her horse forward. She pulled on the reins tightly and almost fell off the horse. The journey was bumpy and she was exhausted. Her stomach was churning and her face was deathly pale.
It was no different from motion sickness!
She forced her weak body to dismount from the horse and walked towards the gate with difficulty.
The soldiers who were holding their hands outside immediately raised their swords and aimed them at her.
However, they did not kill her immediately.
Ji Yunshu pursed her pale lips and clenched her fists. She looked around and took out an object from her sleeve. She held it tightly in her palm.
She raised her hand until it was parallel to her shoulder.
A pair of cold and resolute eyes looked up.
"Get out of the way!"
Her voice was cold.
The soldiers did not withdraw their swords. They did not give way and instead took a step forward.
Ji Yunshu knew that if she took another step forward, the swords in their hands would pierce her with a thousand sores.
She furrowed her slender eyebrows. The next moment, she loosened her clenched fist, and a blood-orange jade fell from her palm. However, because the tassel was hooked on her finger, the jade was held tightly by the tassel when it fell, and it gently dropped down to her waist.
It hung in the air under her palm.
The blood-red jade pendant was carved with a tiger on one side and the character "Xu" on the other.
When the soldiers saw the jade pendant, their swords trembled and they involuntarily took a few steps back. They looked at each other in dismay.
