"Chief, they're gone?" Someone cried out in alarm.
He, Yuan Shihao, wasn't blind!
"Trash, all of you are trash!"
He cursed the heavens, the earth, and even his ancestors!
Not only that, even Bai Yin had disappeared without a trace.
"Chief, should we chase after them?" Someone asked.
It took about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to disperse. An incense stick's worth of time was enough for a person to disappear without a trace.
Chase after them my ass!
"No need!"
No one dared to speak. Yuan Shihao looked at the circle of arrows stuck in the ground. He stepped forward and pulled out one of them. He held it in his hand and carefully examined it. He wanted to know what material it was made of. Where did it come from? Who made it? However, he couldn't tell that these arrows were newly made. They were made of ordinary wood and were crudely made.
There was a white substance tied to it with a thin thread.
When he opened it, he saw that it was all white powder.
What is this?
I've never seen it before!
How can it emit white fog without using a fire guide?
Yuan Shihao snorted and broke the arrow into two.
He threw it on the ground.
…
The person who rescued Jing Rong and the others was none other than Mo Ruo!
He led a group of people he brought from Houliao and secretly shot arrows to rescue them during the chaos.
As he was leaving, he grabbed Bai Yin as well.
They walked into the forest and only stopped when it was safe.
It was too cold in the forest at night, so they quickly made a fire.
Bai Yin was tied to a tree a little further away.
His mouth was stuffed with cloth.
He didn't struggle.
He closed his eyes and didn't move.
His arm was still bleeding from the two stab wounds.
Ji Yunshu sat next to the fire and looked at him from afar. She remembered the portrait from before.
She was suspicious.
She must find an opportunity to ask him!
From the moment he sat down, Jing Rong's eyes were fixed on Mo Ruo, as if he was trying to find some of his former elegance. But this child … it had only been half a year since he last saw him. Not only did he lose his elegance, but how did he grow so old? Not only did he become thicker, but he was also a few degrees darker.
He had completely become a native of this place!
He was no longer the playboy with a face full of peach blossoms and an elegant demeanor.
Half of Mo Ruo's face went numb from his stare.
"What's wrong? I haven't seen you for half a year and you can't take your eyes off me?"
"He's blind."
"You …"
What a poisonous mouth!
"I really didn't expect that after more than half a year, we would meet again in such a way. How exciting." Mo Ruo mocked, "Look at you, you sent a letter to me saying that Miss Ji had disappeared. If I hadn't arrived in time, I would have gone to collect your corpse."
His mouth was equally venomous!
The two of them had been bickering for a long time.
"Thanks a lot!" Jing Rong raised his hand and patted his arm. "You brat! You've become much sturdier! Look at you. You're tall and sturdy, and you look more spirited. You must be doing a good job as Hou Liao's son-in-law! “
"I say, why do you always like to make sarcastic remarks?"
"That's not right. When did I mock you?"
"Jing Rong, you and I have been together since we were wearing diapers. Are your words belittling me? Was it praise? I can smell it with my nose. "
As soon as he said that, the people of Hou Liao who followed Mo Ruo laughed.
Someone teased, "Brother Mo, I didn't expect you to have this skill. Next time we go up the mountain, we don't need to bring a dog. We can just bring you."
"That's right. In any case, you have a good nose. You can be used as a dog!"
'No!
Why does this sound so awkward? '
He raised his leg and kicked one of them. "Get lost. You guys usually follow me, but now you're making sarcastic remarks to an outsider."
That person laughed. "How can Young Master Jing be considered an outsider? Didn't you just say that you grew up wearing diapers? "
"…"
He was speechless!
Everyone burst into laughter.
Ji Yunshu asked, "How is Miss Tang?"
Mo Ruo waved his hand. "Don't ask. She's still the same." She paused for a moment before continuing, "Oh right, this time you guys have to stay in Houliao for a while longer. You have to wait until my child is born. Tang Si has been nagging me about this all day, warning me that if I don't make you stay, she'll kill me. That girl is causing a ruckus, and this is her territory, so I don't dare to tell her.
I don't dare to say anything. So listen carefully. You can only leave after my child is born. "
A threatening tone!
Jing Rong looked at him with disdain. "That's all you've got."
"Then I'll take that as a yes."
Ji Yunshu couldn't get a word in. Finally, she asked, "Oh, where's Brother Lang? Why haven't I seen him? "
That's right!
Where's Lang Po?
Mo Ruo said, "He should be here soon."
Huh?
Just as he finished speaking —
A rustling sound came from not far away from the forest.
Everyone was on guard.
A few figures gradually emerged from the darkness, led by Lang Po.
Lang Po was leading them, followed by a few guards and a few girls.
Those girls were the ones in the tent.
Qin Xi and another woman supported the injured Chen Yun as they slowly walked over.
"Qin Xi?" Ji Yunshu stood up.
Qin Xi also saw her. Her eyes reddened. When she came over, she said emotionally, "Jing Yun, you're fine. I was so worried about you."
"How are you?"
"I'm fine." She quickly pointed at Lang Po. "Oh, it was this hero who saved us during the chaos."
Hero!
It was embarrassing to call Lang Po.
He scratched his head and gave a silly smile.
Ji Yunshu asked, "Brother Lang, what's going on?"
Lang Po explained, "It's all Young Master Mo's fault. He told me to save you during the chaos. I didn't expect it to be so smooth. Moreover, right now, the Yue Dan military camp is already in a mess. "
Qin Xi was surprised. "Jing Yun, so … you two know each other?"
She nodded but didn't elaborate.
Jing Rong ordered someone to start a new fire.
The girls sat next to it, but they were still huddled together. After the incident, they didn't dare to let down their guard.
Chen Yun had whip wounds on her body. Coupled with the cold night, her face was as white as a sheet.
Seeing this, Mo Ruo immediately came over to take her pulse.
He frowned slightly.
Then, he took out a medicine bottle from his sleeve and poured out a pill for her to swallow.
He said, "It's not a big problem. She just needs to rest for a night."
Qin Xi, who was taking care of Chen Yun, nodded.
Mo Ruo glanced at her. The girl's face was still smeared with dust. He fetched a pot of water for her. "Wash your face."
"Many thanks, Young Master."
She was very gentle.
Mo Ruo let Lang Po take care of the girls. Then, he returned to his seat by the fire.
As soon as he sat down, he asked Ji Yunshu, "Did you apply the medicine on that girl's back?"
