After the time it took to burn a stick of incense.
The two of them went to where Bai Yin was being held.
At this moment, Bai Yin was tied to a pillar with his hands tied behind his back.
His head was lowered, his hair was messy, and his center of gravity was dangling forward.
He looked like a dead man!
Jing Rong held a basin of water in his hand and generously splashed it on him.
The ice-cold water flowed from Bai Yin's head to his face, body, and the ground...
He was in an extremely sorry state!
After a long time, Bai Yin moved and slowly raised his powerless head. His bloodshot eyes were filled with stubbornness as he stared coldly at the two people in front of him.
His dry lips were stained with water droplets and bloodstains.
After being thirsty for almost a day and night, he instinctively licked his lips.
The water droplets mixed with the taste of blood spread wantonly on the tip of his tongue.
Jing Rong met his gaze. "I'll ask you again. That portrait, where did you get it from?"
"..."
"If you don't tell me, you'll die."
Bai Yin laughed weakly, the stubbornness in his eyes dissipating. "Fine, I'll tell you."
His voice was deep and hoarse.
"But... you have to let me go first."
Talk about conditions!
Jing Rong deliberated, weighing the feasibility of his condition.
Finally...
"Fine."
He agreed.
Then, he took out a dagger and cut the rope binding Bai Yin.
The moment the rope was released, Bai Yin lost his balance and fell heavily to the ground.
He was like a pile of mud!
The clothes on his back were torn and his back was dripping with blood. Not a single piece of skin was unscathed.
After being dragged by a horse for so long, he should look like this!
He used his elbow to support himself on the wet ground and lowered his head. "I need food... and water."
Jing Rong agreed to all of them.
Mo Ruo ordered someone to bring him some mutton and water.
He grabbed the pot of water and drank it in one gulp. Then, he grabbed the legs of mutton and wolfed them down.
After eating and drinking his fill, he regained some strength. He looked at Jing Rong, who was quietly waiting for an answer. He narrowed his eyes and said, "I still need to rest for the night. Tomorrow... I'll definitely tell you tomorrow."
Since it had already come to this, Jing Rong didn't need to rush!
He readily agreed.
"There will be many people watching you outside. It won't be that easy to escape."
"Don't worry, I won't run away. But tomorrow … you have to take me to see that lady. I will also tell her about it."
Jing Rong looked down at him.
In the end, he didn't say anything and dragged Mo Ruo out.
After he left, he went straight to Ji Yunshu's tent.
At this time, Tang Si was still in her tent.
The two of them talked for a long time.
When Jing Rong entered, Mo Ruo pulled Tang Si up.
"What is it?" Tang Si asked.
Mo Ruo said gently, "It's already so late, go and rest."
"But I still have a lot of things to tell Ah Ji!"
"We'll talk tomorrow."
"I …"
Mo Ruo carefully protected her as they walked.
Inside the tent, Ji Yunshu looked at Jing Rong with confusion.
"What are you doing?"
Jing Rong sat cross-legged beside her.
He took a deep breath.
Seeing her worried expression, he took out the portrait.
He handed it over.
"What is this?"
Filled with doubts, she took it and slowly opened it.
The first thing that came into view was a face that was exactly the same as his own.
Although the clothes were different, she couldn't deny that the person in the portrait was her!
Her hands trembled, and the portrait almost fell to the ground.
Her crimson lips parted slightly. "This … is this the portrait Bai Yin mentioned?"
Jing Rong was shocked. "You know about this portrait?"
She nodded. "Bai Yin said that the reason why he captured me was because of this portrait. As for the reason, he didn't want to talk about it. So, did he really get this portrait from Bai Yin? "
"That's right!"
Then, she could understand why Jing Rong wanted to torture Bai Yin as fast as possible today. So this was the reason.
Jing Rong said, "This portrait is at least twenty years old, but twenty years ago, you weren't even born."
"A person who looks so much like me can't be unrelated to me, unless …"
A frightening conjecture flashed through her mind.
Jing Rong directly finished her sentence. "Unless this person is your mother!"
"Uh!" Ji Yunshu blurted out her thoughts.
"Based on this person's clothes, she is a Huyi person?"
Ji Yunshu carefully looked at the woman's hair ornaments, silver ornaments, and clothes.
As expected!
She was a Huyi person.
Ji Yunshu tightened her grip on the paper.
Her fingertips turned slightly white.
She nervously asked, "What did Bai Yin say? Where did this portrait come from? Who is the person in the portrait? Who is he? "
She had a series of questions.
Jing Rong said, "He will tell us the answer you want to know tomorrow."
Ji Yunshu felt apprehensive.
Was the person in the portrait really her mother?
Was her mother a Huyi person?
Then how did she come to Great Lin?
What did that wooden tablet represent?
That night, she couldn't sleep at all.
The next day.
Third Master brought his men to find Muzar.
They discussed how to attack Yue Dan.
Bai Yin had eaten and drunk to his heart's content. After a night's rest, his complexion looked much better.
Jing Rong ordered Lang Po to drag him to his tent.
Ji Yunshu, Mo Ruo, and Tang Si were all there.
Everyone looked at him.
Jing Rong frowned. "Bai Yin, speak."
Bai Yin prostrated himself on the ground. He raised his slightly spirited eyes.
He laughed a few times.
His expression darkened.
"I've carried this portrait with me since I was a child."
No one spoke, waiting for him to finish. "I don't remember how old I was at that time. I only remember waking up twenty-one years ago. I was in a forest. There was no one beside me, only trees. I don't remember who I am. I don't remember my name, and I don't know why I was in that forest. At that time, I had this portrait in my clothes.
I thought that the person in the portrait must be related to me. That's why I've been looking for her all these years. When I came to the Si Sai Grasslands, I gave up and decided to follow Ma Yinghao to conquer the world. " As he spoke, he looked at Ji Yunshu. That familiar face was exactly the same as the person in the portrait. He continued, "Until that day when I saw you in the forest. I was shocked at that time, but after more than twenty years, why hasn't your appearance changed? I wanted to know the truth. I wanted to know who I was. That's why I kidnapped you.
But later, I realized that you might not be the person I'm looking for. But how can there be two people who look exactly the same in this world? "
He was also very confused.
Twenty-one years ago!
It was the year of the civil strife in Huyi.
The woman in the portrait was also a Huyi person.
Ji Yunshu remembered that Third Master had said that he was a Huyi person. Years ago, he got separated from an old friend and came to Houliao.
Perhaps … he knew something?
Just as she was thinking …
Bai Yin took out another object from his clothes.
That object slowly unfolded from his palm.
