The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor

Mo Yan finally understood Weiya's intention, and as her mind was racing, she kept showing a look of disbelief on her face: "You, you lied to me, Brother Xiao has made great contributions to Dachu, and he is a great minister personally conferred by the Holy Lord. General, he is clearly deeply favored by the Emperor, how could he lose His Majesty's favor? Don't try to deceive me with these words, I won't believe you."

Seeing the look she wanted to see on Mo Yan's face, Weiya smiled more and more charmingly: "Why should I lie to you about this kind of thing? What good will it do to me? If you don't believe it, I can ask you to Write a letter to your fiancé and ask him personally.”

Looking at Weiya who looked determined, the expression on Mo Yan's face gradually changed from disbelief to doubt, with a hint of confusion and vulnerability in her eyes, "He...how is Brother Xiao doing? Is he very sad? No, no. No, Brother Xiao is so powerful, how can he be sad? The Holy Sage’s censure is only temporary, Brother Xiao will definitely cheer up and regain the Holy Sage’s favor.”

Even so, there was uncertainty in Mo Yan's tone, which was just right for Via to hear.

In Weiya's eyes, Mo Yan is a somewhat strong but not scheming woman. She never expected that Mo Yan was trying to play tricks on her, "Huh, the Emperor of Da Chu is selfish and narrow-minded, otherwise with your fiancé's Thanks to your merits, you should have been promoted to Duke long ago! If I am right, it is because your fiancé has done so much that he is jealous of the Emperor of Chu, and that is why he is disgusted and uses excuses to belittle him. This is only the first step. He will be there in the future. It feels good.”

Seeing Mo Yan's face gradually turning pale, Weiya became more and more satisfied and continued: "It would be fine if your fiancé just becomes decadent. If he tries to sacrifice you to catch us people and claim credit from the Emperor of Dachu, To regain the favor of the Emperor of Dachu, we will die when the time comes, but you will have to die with us, or die in the hands of your beloved fiancé, are you willing?"

Mo Yan's face showed a look of panic, and she was extremely speechless inside. She had to admit that this woman was very powerful. If she was really only sixteen years old and no one came to rescue her after being arrested for so long, after hearing these words, she would definitely doubt whether her relatives and her fiancé had given up on her. I have no intention of rescuing her.

If you are bewitched by this woman again, you might really believe her words, and then step into the trap she set, and you will never be able to get over it.

Although I won't be confused by this woman, I still have to do the scenes that need to be done.

Mo Yan's face became even paler, she stared at Via and said loudly: "No, no, Brother Xiao will not do this. He is so good to me, how can he not care about my life or death? I am his fiancée, how could he not save me!"

A strange light flashed in Via's eyes, and her bright red lips uttered the most shocking words: "What an innocent girl! You probably don't know that in the eyes of men who regard power as their life, their fiancée It’s nothing at all! As long as he stands at the top, what kind of woman does he want? You are not a stunning beauty, so why should he give up on you? "

Mo Yan's face was drained of all color, and he stared blankly into the void as if his soul had been drained out.

Seeing that Mo Yan was already shaken, Weiya added fuel to the fire: "If you don't believe what I said, how about we make a bet?"

Mo Yan raised his head, his unsteady eyes fell on Weiya, and asked weakly: "What are you betting on?"

A cruel smile appeared on the corner of Via's mouth, and she softly uttered six words: "Your fiancé's heart!"

…

"Master, all the arrangements are in place, and the subordinates are on standby at any time, waiting for the master's orders." In the study room of the General's Mansion, Xiao Shiyi reported to Xiao Ruiyuan.

Xiao Ruiyuan nodded slightly and tapped the table with his index finger: "Is there anything unusual over there?"

Xiao Shiyi obviously knew where "over there" was, and said quickly: "There have been frequent secret comings and goings at night in recent days. It has been determined that that is where Wu Tuo Xinzuo is hiding."

After Xiao Ruiyuan heard this, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth: "He is quite bold. He really dares to harbor the enemy's secrets. This time, even if the Holy One cares about the last trace of father-son affection, he will not bypass him."

After Mo Yan was captured by the Wu Tuo people, Xiao Ruiyuan never stopped hunting down Wu Tuo. He suspected that someone in the court was harboring these people, so he sent a large number of people to secretly monitor several princes who might be collaborating with the enemy and the country, as well as ministers who secretly relied on them.

Although these princes and princes have restrained themselves a lot after Chu Heng recovered from his illness, Chu Heng has not had any heirs and has been criticized openly and secretly by these people. Obviously, they still covet the position of crown prince. They originally proposed that Chu Heng should be adopted by other princes. The heirs are secretly operated by these people.

Xiao Ruiyuan started with several princes and princes, and then monitored Weiya, who could freely enter and leave the capital with the pass he gave her. Sure enough, he found clues and successfully found the group's carefully crafted hiding place, and prepared to take this opportunity to Find out the people behind the scenes and eliminate future troubles forever.

"Master, what should we do next?" Xiao Shiyi also despised the person his master was talking about in his heart. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. He can understand that person's unwillingness to make a comeback, but to abandon the justice of the family and country in order to achieve his goal and seek the skin of a tiger is despised.

"Don't move there for now, until all the Wutuo people are caught, he won't be able to escape." Xiao Ruiyuan expressionlessly set the final outcome for the person who harbored the enemy's spy.

"Yes!" Xiao Shiyi bowed in agreement.

At this time, there was a knocking sound outside the door. Xiao Shiyi quickly stepped forward to open the door, and Maomao jumped in through the crack in the door, and suddenly jumped onto Xiao Ruiyuan's desk. There was also a piece of white cloth stained with green grass juice in his mouth.

Xiao Ruiyuan could not stay in Liuyang Village forever, so Maomao once again became his and Mo Yan's messenger, going back and forth between the Mo family and the General's Mansion every day to deliver their letters.

Opening the piece of white cloth and reading the content above, Xiao Ruiyuan's face showed a hint of joy. This time he did not write a reply as usual, but asked Xiao Shiyi to quickly summon all the secret guards and personally give them a series of instructions. .

After arranging everything, Xiao Jiu hesitated for a moment and suggested to Xiao Ruiyuan: "Master, those gunpowders are too dangerous. Just in case, I privately thought it would be better to destroy them in advance."

Xiao Ruiyuan shook his head: "It's easy to be exposed. As long as they act according to the plan, they don't have the guts to detonate the gunpowder, so there is no need to take such risks."

If these people were thinking of instigating rebellion against him, they would not kill him easily. He had no intention of taking action when he was replaced, so it would be okay to let them relax their vigilance and survive for a while longer.

When Xiao Jiu heard this, he said nothing more.

The next day, Weiya successfully entered the city and arrived at the General's Mansion with the special order given by Xiao Ruiyuan. After several confrontations, Weiya "had no choice but" agreed to Xiao Ruiyuan's request for a substitution in person, and late at night the next day, she kept those details secret. Brought to the General's Mansion.

Xiao Ruiyuan pretended not to know where these people were hiding, promised Weiya that he would take these people out of the city tomorrow, and warned the Uto people not to play tricks.

Via agreed immediately, and immediately swore an oath in the name of the patron saint of Uto, promising not to play tricks.

The Wutuo people spent all this time mainly to rescue the trapped tribesmen. It was just a temporary plan to rebel against Xiao Ruiyuan. Now that the plan was mostly successful, it also planted the seeds of estrangement in the hearts of the unmarried couple Xiao Ruiyuan and Mo Yan. Their other The goal has been achieved. As long as Xiao Ruiyuan doesn't go back on his words, they don't have the courage to fight to the death.

At noon the next day, dozens of Wutuo's agents took the special movement order given by Xiao Ruiyuan and successfully escaped from the capital under the control of the secret guards. Not long after, Xiao Ruiyuan led a group of men and horses to the foot of Yuhua Mountain on the pretext of night hunting, and met with the foreigner Xizuo on the outskirts of the mountain forest, where the six beasts were waiting early.

At this time, it was less than two hours before dark, and it was a bit of a rush to arrive at the substitution place before dark. Worried that the Mo family was anxious, Xiao Ruiyuan simply led people into Yuhua Mountain without informing them. Six beasts cleared the way in front of them, frightening the beasts that lurked day and night along the road.

The mountain road was difficult to walk, so the group hurriedly and slowly arrived at the opposite side of the cave where the Uto people were hiding before dark. Xiao Ruiyuan sat on a high horse and saw Mo Yan being restrained by two Wutuo people at a glance.

Today is already the eighth day since Mo Yan was taken to the mountain, which means the two have not seen each other for eight days except for exchanging a few letters. In these eight days, Xiao Ruiyuan experienced unprecedented worry, self-blame, anxiety and hope, which lasted longer than the past eight years.

The two looked at each other from a distance, and even though they couldn't see each other's faces clearly, they could still feel the surging excitement.

Xiao Ruiyuan suppressed the urge to ride his horse forward, hold his beloved tightly in his arms and comfort him, and walked slowly to the cave with Xia Zuo, who was being escorted by the secret guard, expressionlessly, and his eyes fell on Mo On the shabby cloth strip on Yan's head, a strong anger flashed across his eyes.

The next moment, he looked away, as if he didn't care.

Looking at the many tribesmen opposite, Wu Tuo and others looked particularly happy, but when they saw the six-headed monster that was sniffing here and there, especially the extra long six-headed monster staying where the gunpowder was buried, their expressions suddenly changed. Get nervous.

"As expected of the famous God of War, General Xiao really keeps his word." The smile on Lei Tuo's face was a little forced. He looked at the six beasts who all turned their heads and stared at him, as if they would pounce on him in the next moment. He was very cold. Tianli was so excited that he broke into a cold sweat.

Xiao Ruiyuan's face showed an impatient look, and he said straight to the point: "Leituo, this general kept his promise and delivered your people here safely. Now it's your turn!"

Seeing Xiao Ruiyuan being so direct, Lei Tuo was not surprised. He looked back at Mo Yan, who was burying his head in silence. A smile with unknown meaning appeared on the corner of his mouth covered by his beard: "General Xiao is really a man of love, your future wife." What a blessing.”

After saying that, he waved his hand and signaled his two subordinates to let go of Mo Yan.

Mo Yan was free again. She hesitated for a moment and was about to walk over, but was held back by Weiya.

Xiao Ruiyuan's expression changed, and he was interrupted by Weiya when he was about to speak: "General Xiao, you have controlled so many people in my Utopia, how about you let my brother go first, and then I let your fiancée go?"

These words were obviously uneasy, and he suspected that Xiao Ruiyuan had some back-up plans.

Xiao Ruiyuan's face showed a look of dissatisfaction, but he didn't say anything. With a wave of his hand, the secret guard let go of Via's brother Weir.

Weir was overjoyed and walked quickly towards his sister.

Seeing that her brother was safe and sound, Weiya finally felt relieved, but she still did not let go of Mo Yan, "General Xiao, you are so powerful in numbers, Weiya is really worried, otherwise you will let all our clan members go." Wait until we get out of this forest safely before letting your fiancée go?"

Xiao Ruiyuan's face darkened and he said coldly: "Are you kidding me, General?"

Before Weiya could speak, Lei Tuo said with a smile: "What the General said is serious. Your fiancée is much more important than us. If we just give it to you, I'm afraid we will be unlucky in the next moment! Don't you It’s okay if you agree, let your subordinates withdraw from this forest, and Leituo will let your fiancée go immediately.”

Xiao Ruiyuan pursed his lips and didn't speak for a long time, obviously considering whether to do this.

The originally relaxed atmosphere suddenly became tense, and the people on both sides looked very nervous. Lei Tuo and others sweated without making a sound to urge them, quietly waiting for Xiao Ruiyuan's answer.

After a while, Xiao Ruiyuan agreed to Weiya's request with a dark face, and with a wave of his hand, the secret guards let go of all their efforts.

Those Wutuoshou regained their freedom and couldn't wait to run to the opposite side, as Lei Tuo and others continued to retreat.

Xiao Ruiyuan had a dark face and led the secret guards forward step by step. The six beasts were even more eyeing. Once the Wutuo people dared to do anything to hurt Mo Yan, they would rush forward and bite their throats without hesitation.

Lei Tuo and the others were very afraid of the Six Beasts, and they blackmailed Mo Yan just for extra protection. They never thought of harming her, and hoped that she could convince her fiancé to work for Wu Tuo in the future.

Xiao Ruiyuan got off his horse and led the secret guards to keep a close distance from Lei Tuo and others.

The last rays of the sun set in the west, and the entire mountain forest became dim. Gradually, only moving black shadows could be seen.

After a moment, the Uto people finally exited the forest and came to the hidden natural mountain road behind the cave. This mountain road has a cliff on one side and an abyss on the other. It is very narrow and can only allow one person to pass.

On the protruding rocks on the cliff, there were several basin-sized gunpowders placed. Once Xiao Ruiyuan made any move, the Wutuo people would light the fuses without hesitation.

Lei Tuo and others thought they were foolproof, but little did they know that Mo Yan had already spied on this mountain road and revealed it to Xiao Ruiyuan. At the end of the mountain road, there are already ten times more elite troops than the Uto people ambushed. Not only would Xiao Ruiyuan not make any changes, if they did not take this mountain road, he would also design a plan to force these people onto this road of no return.

After everyone retreated to the mountain path and ensured their safety, Via kept her promise and let go of Mo Yan. As Mo Yan carefully walked back along the mountain path, she lit the fuse on the stone wall.

The power of gunpowder cannot be underestimated. This explosion can directly blow up the mountain road, making it impossible for Xiao Ruiyuan and others to pursue them. In this way, the Wutuo people are completely safe.

Seeing Weiya's actions, Xiao Ruiyuan's expression changed drastically, and he quickly rushed to the mountain road regardless of the obstruction of the secret guard. He took Mo Yan's hand and held her whole body in his arms and walked back: "Yan'er, don't be afraid."

"Well, I'm not afraid!" Mo Yan's heart felt hot, she held Xiao Ruiyuan's hand tightly and left quickly under his protection.

As soon as the two of them reached a safe area, there was a loud explosion behind them, and a burst of fire shot into the sky, frightening countless birds living in the forest.

A gap of more than ten feet was opened in the narrow mountain road in an instant. Even if Xiao Ruiyuan's martial arts were superb, he could not fly to the other side to hunt down the Uto people.

Weiya proudly looked at her masterpiece, and shouted loudly to Xiao Ruiyuan, who was holding Mo Yan on the other side of the gap: "Thank you so much, General, for your help this time. Weiya will definitely report it to the king and record her merits for the general. I hope that one day There are also opportunities for collaboration.”

Hearing Weiya's shouting, Xiao Ruiyuan raised his head and looked at her with a dead look, a cold and cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

It was too dark, and Weiya couldn't see the expression on Xiao Ruiyuan's face, and she didn't know that what awaited them next was a real road of no return, a road of survival cut off by her own hands.

Xiao Ruiyuan didn't need to worry about the next thing. He carefully carried Mo Yan onto the horse's back, and then turned on the horse so that Mo Yan faced him.

This posture was quite ambiguous. Looking at the secret guards who were watching, Mo Yan blushed and did not dare to raise her head.

"Yan'er, does it hurt here?" Xiao Ruiyuan didn't notice Mo Yan's discomfort, and reached out to touch her injured forehead, but she didn't dare to do it because she was afraid of hurting her.

Seeing the decisive man so cautiously killing, Mo Yan wanted to laugh, but also felt a little proud. She stretched out her hand and pulled off the eye-catching rag on her forehead: "It's okay, look, it's almost healed."

Xiao Ruiyuan took the fire breaker handed over by Xiao Shiyi and moved it close to Mo Yan's forehead. He could clearly see that the scabbed wound was the size of a copper coin. His clothes were stained with dried and blackened blood. There was a strong anger in his eyes: " Damn it!"

If he had time, he really wanted to go around to the other side of the mountain road and kill those Uto people himself.

"Don't be angry. This minor injury will heal in two days." Mo Yan comforted her. If she hadn't been worried about arousing the suspicion of the Uto people, she would have healed this injury long ago.

Xiao Ruiyuan didn't say anything, but gently kissed the wound, and then stretched out a pair of iron arms to lock Mo Yan tightly in his arms. Until this moment, the full feeling in his arms made him extremely convinced that his beloved was safe and sound, and his heart, which had been hanging for many days, finally returned to its original position.

Feeling the change in the man's mood, Mo Yan also forgot about the secret guards around her. She reached out and hugged his strong waist tightly, leaning quietly into this warm embrace. The familiar breath between her breaths made her feel extremely at ease. .

Along the way, the two of them clung to each other tightly, listening to each other's heartbeats. Their hearts had never been quieter than before. They just hoped that they could go on like this forever and never be separated again...
