"Protect this plum blossom Gu!"
However, he was still a step too late. Before Ning Shu's anxious voice faded away, a stray arrow had already crossed the night sky and shot straight at his face. Hui Mo was shocked and subconsciously let go of his hand and dodged sideways. When he stretched out his hand to grab it, a large number of arrows had arrived and formed an inescapable net.
"Who are you, why are you sneaking around!"
It was Yongchengwei, who was wearing a brocade robe, "Are you Nan Ping King's people? If you don't speak, kill! "
The two did not answer and extinguished all the candles in the shortest time possible, retreating and hiding in the corpse mountain. The situation was urgent, if they did not retreat, they would die. Ning Shu gritted her teeth and said, "Go!"
Hui Mo was unwilling to give up, "Wait, I want that plum blossom Gu!"
However, they did not expect the other party to be so ruthless. A large string of fire arrows dripped with oil and quickly ignited the mountain of corpses. Then, buckets of oil quickly soaked the ground like water, as if they were preparing to burn them and the mountain of corpses to ashes. In the fire, Hui Mo saw that the Gu worm that was still squirming was burned to death by the fire and curled up into a black ash.
Ning Shu felt like her heart was being pierced by a knife, but she had no choice but to drag him away.
"It's all my fault! Why am I so useless! He had clearly caught that Gu worm, but he still lost it! What's the use of me being alive, I deserve to die! I deserve to die! I deserve to die! " Hui Mo squatted on a rock, holding his head in regret and slapping himself on the head, wishing he could beat himself to death to atone for his sins.
Everyone knew the importance of that plum blossom Gu. They had pursued it for many years, sniffing out its scent like a dog searching for its scent. They had missed so many cases along the way, not letting go of even the slightest trace. This was the first time they had captured a live Gu worm. It was very likely to be the most powerful evidence to expose Empress Cao's true colors and reverse the verdict for his heir. But now, he had lost it in his hands. How could he not blame himself and feel guilty? He was so vexed that he wanted to die.
Ning Shu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't blame yourself. You can only blame these people for having such sharp noses. I'm afraid their eyes have never left this place. It's not your fault. And — "
Ning Shu's eyes suddenly blinked playfully, and she took out a small box from her bosom. "Look, what's this?"
When the box is opened, Hui Mo's eyes light up and he jumps up in surprise: "What, what, what is this? Another plum blossom Gu? Wasn't that one already dead? Where did you find it? "
Ning Shu took off her sweaty headgear and removed her disguise. She closed the box and put it together with the silver needles she had found before. She smiled and said, "This is all thanks to the Empress. This time, she sacrificed so many of her trusted subordinates. The probability of the Gu worms surviving among the eighty people was naturally much higher. I happened to see the second one in the fire. Now, don't cry. With the evidence in hand, let's go back quickly. The Empress has already noticed our actions. Next, they will definitely send more people to kill us. Let's not delay and run away. "
Hui Mo was so excited that his eyes were filled with tears. He looked at them as if they were treasures and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes, you must not let the Empress catch you and expose that you are still alive. You are now the Young Prince's life-saving straw! "
Hui Mo couldn't wait to kneel down in front of her. He protected Ning Shu by his side like protecting a treasure. He looked solemn and vigilant of the surroundings. It seemed that he was ready to die for her at any time. Ning Shu shook her head and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. But when he didn't notice, she lowered her eyes and looked at the small box. Her smile gradually disappeared and turned into a complicated silent sigh.
She seemed to have made a decision. Then she put away the box and raised her eyes, looking straight ahead with more determination.
If there is no way out in front, then I will use my own two paths to dig out a way out. So what!
