There were patches of blood stains on the ground, intermittent.
Han Yunxi could tell at a glance that this was the color of the blood stains that had melted into the soil. Some time had passed, and some of the blood stains had already faded, but some had already blended into the soil. That was why the blood stains were intermittent.
Mu Ling 'er and Deacon Jin only saw two tigers that had melted, but based on the analysis of the blood stains on the ground, the amount of blood was not just two tigers!
Tang Li stood at the side, hugging little Tang Tang tightly, not moving at all.
Long Fei Ye and the rest came over and were about to touch the soil when Han Yunxi stopped them. "Don't touch it. This soil is all poisonous. This kind of poison is specially used to corrode the flesh."
"Sister Jing and the rest … were they kidnapped?" Mu Ling 'er asked timidly. She no longer hoped that Sister Jing and the rest could escape. She only hoped that Sister Jing and the rest wouldn't be among the blood stains on the ground.
Tang Li immediately looked at her. Mu Ling 'er clearly didn't do anything bad, but she was still frightened. She avoided Tang Li's gaze.
Han Yunxi ignored Mu Ling 'er. She squatted on the ground and carefully examined the poisoned blood.
How could she not have the same extravagant hope as Mu Ling 'er! Unfortunately, the detoxification system quickly gave her a piece of bad news.
She stood up and said calmly, "There's animal blood in these bloodstains …"
Although it was cruel, she still looked at Tang Li and said seriously, "There's also human blood …"
Before Han Yunxi could finish, Mu Ling 'er hurriedly interrupted her. "Did they bleed when they were injured?"
Even if there was human blood, it didn't prove that they were dead!
Unfortunately, Han Yunxi denied this theory. "All of this human blood belongs to one person. Based on the amount of blood lost, it's enough to cause death."
The DNA could be found even if the blood stains had been left for several years. What more in a month or two?
The detoxification system would never make a mistake, although Han Yunxi did not want to believe it.
"So, one of Ning Jing, Su Xiaoyu, or Bai Yuqiao was killed?" Gu interrupted. "It seems that their bodies were also destroyed! Tsk tsk, what kind of poison is this? Why is it so similar to Perplexing Butterfly Illusion? "
"It must be Bai Yanqing. He wouldn't kill Su Xiaoyu. "Long Fei Ye calmly analyzed.
Suddenly, Tang Li shouted, "It's definitely not Ning Jing!"
Little Tang Tang was frightened by his roar and began to cry loudly. The more she cried, the fiercer she became.
Mu Ling'er's heart ached. She rushed over and said, "Tang Li, you scared her! Let me hug you! Sister Jing will be fine. She will be fine. "
Tang Li ignored her and hugged little Tang Tang even tighter. He looked at Han Yunxi, annoyed and helpless. He did not say anything, but he hoped that his sister-in-law could give him a clear answer.
Han Yunxi's eyes flashed with a complicated look. She did not know how to comfort him.
Long Fei Ye analyzed seriously, "Ning Jing has value as a hostage. Bai Yuqiao, on the other hand, has no value at all to Bai Yanqing."
After he said that, Tang Li shouted again, "Brother, I believe you! I believe you! "
His loud voice made little Tang Tang cry even louder.
No matter who died, Mu Ling'er was especially upset. Her eyes were full of tears. She said to Tang Li in a choked voice, "Tang Li, can you give me the child? Can't you! Don't scare her anymore. If Sister Jing finds out, she won't let you off! "
Tang Li immediately fell silent. He did not know what to do. Mu Ling'er snatched little Tang Tang back, hugged her tightly, and kissed her little face. Little Tang Tang was saved by the few of them. Looking at the bloodstains on the ground, she could only feel some comfort by hugging little Tang Tang.
Strangely enough, little Tang Tang stopped crying once she was in Mu Ling'er's arms. Tang Li looked on helplessly. He wanted to take his daughter back, but he could not open his mouth.
"Bai Yanqing took the hostages a long time ago, but he hasn't done anything yet. What is he trying to do?" Han Yunxi really did not understand.
With the addition of Tianshan Kenzō's Third Venerable Lord, Bai Yanqing had three hostages in his hands.
Tang Li punched a tree nearby and shouted at the mountain, "Bai Yanqing, come out! Give Ning Jing back to me! "
"Bai Yanqing, come out if you have the guts!"
The echoes reverberated in the mountain forest. Other than that, there was no other response.
They were in the open, while Bai Yanqing was in the dark. Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi were not familiar with this feeling. They felt like they were prey, being watched.
However, they could not think of any way to force Bai Yanqing out. This old thing did not even care about his two closest disciples. What else in this world, and who else, did he care about?
"Long Fei Ye, we only have the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion left," Han Yunxi said softly.
Long Fei Ye did not say anything, but nodded.
Right now, they only had this method. They could use the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion to lure Bai Yanqing out!
"Your Highness, Princess, we shouldn't stay here for long. Let's go back to the army first and discuss this further," Gu Beiyue said seriously.
Although things did not go as planned, at least they managed to rescue Ning Cheng.
Just as everyone was about to leave, Deacon Jin blocked Han Yunxi's path. He said word by word, "Han Yunxi, where's my indenture contract?"
"Come back with us. We'll talk about it later," Han Yunxi said Cold.
"Impossible." Deacon Jin refused.
Han Yunxi had been tolerating it, but when she heard this, she immediately flared up. She said rudely, "Then don't take it."
Unexpectedly, Mu Ling 'er said, "Sister, give him the indenture contract! I promised him. "
"Why should I give him the indenture contract?" Han Yunxi asked Cold.
Mu Ling 'er was shocked. "Sister, he saved us."
Indeed, if Deacon Jin had not rescued Ning Jing and the others, they might not have been able to rescue Ning Cheng from Jun Yi Xie so quickly, much less kill Jun Yi Xie so quickly.
However, wasn't all of this caused by Deacon Jin?
"It's only right that he saved you! If he hadn't colluded with that Cheng guy, Eastern and Western Qin's army would have already flattened Northern Li! At most, he saved you and the children. Ning Jing's whereabouts are still unknown. What right does he have to ask me for the indenture contract? "
Han Yunxi glared at Deacon Jin angrily and warned him Cold, "Jin Zi, let me tell you, if anything happens to Ning Jing, don't even mention the indenture contract, you'll have to leave your life behind!"
Tang Li watched from the side. Although he didn't say anything, his eyes were full of hostility.
Deacon Jin didn't care about them. He only cared about Mu Ling 'er. His long, narrow, and cold eyes slowly narrowed, emitting a dangerous aura. He stared at Mu Ling 'er.
Mu Ling 'er bit her lip, not knowing what to do. She promised Deacon Jin that she would persuade her sister to return the indenture contract to him, but now, she couldn't refute her sister's words.
At this moment, Gu suddenly pulled Mu Ling 'er behind him. He sneered and looked at Deacon Jin from head to toe. "What, are you bullying our Ling' er because she's young and easy to trick?"
Deacon Jin still didn't say anything and just looked at Mu Ling 'er.
Mu Ling 'er didn't know what to do. She would rather hate Deacon Jin, but she didn't know when she started to hate him.
"Gu, take him away!" Han Yunxi said Cold.
Finally, Mu Ling 'er couldn't take it anymore. She shook off Gu's hand and ran to Han Yunxi's side to pull her arm. "Sis, if it wasn't for Jin Zi, I wouldn't have lived until now. And Little Tang Tang, Little Tang Tang would have starved to death long ago. Sis, just let him make up for his mistakes with good deeds. Forget it! "
Han Yunxi was suspicious. Mu Ling 'er, this little girl, had always been a vengeful person. Why was she so tolerant of Deacon Jin?
A complicated look flashed across her eyes, and she said, "Mu Ling 'er, you can forget about it, but what about Ning Jing?"
"Even if Ning Jing comes back, it won't be so easy to forget it!" Tang Li finally spoke up.
Mu Ling 'er became even more anxious. She realized that Jin Zi was right. As long as he brought her back, only death would await him.
However, he still brought her over because of her promise.
Mu Ling 'er didn't want to haggle over who was right and who was wrong, and who owed who more. She didn't want to go back on her promise, and she didn't want to owe anyone anything.
She steeled her heart and grabbed Deacon Jin's hand tightly. She said, "Sis, Ling 'er has already pledged to marry Jin Zi. Ling 'er was born Jin Zi's woman, and will die as Jin Zi's ghost. If you don't let him off, then you won't let Ling' er off. "
Han Yunxi was dumbfounded. "You … You …"
Mu Ling 'er didn't dare to look into Han Yunxi's eyes for fear of being exposed. She looked at Tang Li and said seriously, "Big Brother Tang Li, please forgive Jin Zi this time on account that Ling' er has lost her reputation to protect Sister Jing's child."
Tang Li was most grateful to Mu Ling 'er.
Looking at Mu Ling 'er's teary eyes, he didn't know what to say. He could only look at his sister-in-law.
Han Yunxi was scared out of her wits by Mu Ling 'er. She didn't believe that Mu Ling' er would give up on Gu so easily. She secretly wondered if Mu Ling 'er had been threatened by Jin Zi. Or had she been coaxed?
Seeing how agitated Mu Ling 'er was, Han Yunxi rationally didn't argue. She said, "Ling' er, Tang Li can't make a decision on behalf of Ning Jing! Moreover, I don't have the indenture agreement with me. Also, what's the big deal about a private pledge? You're a daughter of the Mu family, my sister! How can I marry you so casually? Go back to the Three-Way Black Market and wait. Ling 'er will come with us. I'll consider this matter! "
Han Yunxi was stalling for time. It was also a test.
She was testing Deacon Jin's sincerity and whether he would reject her. It was easy for Deacon Jin to summon tiger beasts to deal with them in the wilderness, but it would be difficult to escape once they reached the Three-Way Black Market. Alright! If I marry her, I'll get everything I need. I'll wait! " Deacon Jin actually agreed. He added, "I believe that the princess of Western Qin will keep her word and won't go back on it."
"Of course!" Han Yunxi agreed readily. She thought that if she didn't go back on her word, Mu Ling 'er could go back on her word and not marry him! On the way to the army, she had to properly ask Mu Ling 'er what was going on!
Gu didn't make a sound. He rubbed his chin, deep in thought.
Mu Ling 'er's gaze had already drifted towards him a few times. Deacon Jin also glanced at him a few times, but he didn't make a sound.
Ling 'er's heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys were all about to shatter.
In a fit of pique, she said, "Sis, don't let Jin Zi go back to the Three-Way Black Market. Let him come with us. Ling 'er doesn't want to be separated from him. "
Whether or not Deacon Jin was a direct descendant of the Black Clan needed to be investigated. Now that Ning Cheng's subordinates had yet to be eliminated, bringing Deacon Jin with them was much safer than letting him return to the Three-Way Black Market.
Han Yunxi looked at Deacon Jin. Deacon Jin actually said, "Mu Ling 'er can do whatever she wants."
