Chapter 689 I Don’t Have a Mother

Hu Xin'er and others were firmly guarded inside and there was no possibility of them being harmed at all.

She wanted to pull open the car curtain to take a look, but Mu Qing held her tightly in his arms: "Don't look, don't listen, we just need to take good care of the little girl."

When the little girl heard the sounds of fighting outside, she was so scared that she started crying loudly. The couple had to work hard to calm her down.

But just as they were about to repel the enemy, the Taoist priest's anxious voice came from the carriage: "Have you seen Jiang Yao? Where has she gone?"

The soldiers charging beside him had no time to answer his baffling questions. They either hurried or said impatiently, "I don't know, get out of the way!"

The couple couldn't help but feel puzzled. Hadn't Jiang Yao been staying in the caravan these past few days? Even if she left, she should have been with the Taoist priest. Why did the Taoist priest now imply that Jiang Yao was missing?

"What happened?" Mu Qing asked.

The Taoist priest then noticed that he had arrived next to the carriage. He quickly explained, "I was drugged and just woke up. I don't know where she went. Can you send someone to help me find her?"

"This... I'm afraid it's a bit difficult." Zhao Yunxuan came over at some point. He originally wanted to see if Hu Xiner was safe, but he didn't expect to encounter such a thing.

But at this time everyone was busy attacking, so how could they take care of the Taoist priest's needs?

The couple asked a few more questions, and after hearing the whole story, they looked at each other in confusion.

Jiang Yao actually took the initiative to knock the Taoist priest unconscious and then ran away?

"Don't worry for now. Aunt cares about mother the most. Since she didn't take mother's urn with her, she must not have gone far!" Hu Xiner suddenly remembered a key point.

Jiang Yao has been holding on to the urn these days and won't let anyone touch it. If she really wants to leave, how could she leave the urn behind?

The Taoist priest finally calmed down a little after hearing this, but his brows were still tightly furrowed: "I don't know why, but I always have a bad feeling... No, I have to go find her now."

"Are we going now?" Hu Xiner asked.

The Taoist priest was very determined and insisted on going, and the couple could not persuade him.

The two of them, remembering Jiang Yao's temperament, couldn't help but feel a little worried, so they could only advise, "Then go and look for her... But swords are blind, so remember to take care of yourself."

At this moment, on the front line, Lord Chu was showing his great power, and the soldiers under his command were even more brave. Soon, Jiang Ning, who had been strategizing at the back of the team, was also exposed.

"Huff..." She panted rapidly and ran quickly in the woods.

This was the forest at Shilipu. Seeing that the situation was not good, she quickly ran away, leaving the guards to block the way ahead.

However, she had no idea whether the guards could win when fighting with Lord Chu.

However, if the prince loses one of his guards, she is afraid that she will not have a good life after returning.

No, it should be said that it was him.

At this time, Jiang Ning was wearing a nightgown. He no longer pretended to be the delicate and silly little girl of the Jiang family. In addition to the heroic look between his eyebrows, there was a bit more viciousness.

He had a beauty that was difficult to tell whether he was a man or a woman, but now it was all hidden under his nightgown.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps behind him, and a figure landed in front of him.

It’s Lord Chu!

Lord Chu blocked his way. After seeing his face, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly: "Jiang Ning?"

Jiang Ning took a step back, his face showing fear.

Lord Chu's appearance here means that his martial arts skills are extremely powerful and he has killed the guard.

And Jiang Ning, as the remnant of the prince, is doomed to fail.

It is better to die now than to be caught and tortured.

Jiang Ning silently took out a soft blade from his sleeve, ready to commit suicide at any time.

But at this moment, Jiang Yao suddenly appeared outside the woods.

When she saw Jiang Ning's face, she was struck by lightning, and then she rushed between the two of them resolutely.

Master Chu asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"

He had seen Jiang Yao's sadness these past few days and knew that she was so sad because of the death of Lu's mother.

But since the relationship between the two sisters is so good, why would she protect the bad guy who killed her sister?

Jiang Yao's eyes were sharp. "Master Chu, please spare the man behind me. He is an innocent man."

Lord Chu felt that what he saw was beyond his comprehension: "Innocent? He is the murderer of your sister."

Jiang Yao's jaw tightened slightly as she softly shouted to Jiang Ning, "Why don't you leave now?!"

After hearing this, Lord Chu was certain she was serious, and his expression became extremely serious: "If Madam is determined to go against the court, I will have no choice but to arrest her as well!"

As the two were about to fight, Jiang Ning ran back without hesitation, but after running two steps, he suddenly turned around and asked, "Why did you save me?"

Jiang Yao was already prepared to die with Master Chu. Upon hearing this, she smiled bitterly and said, "Because you are my son."

In the past few days, he has been secretly watching the pursuers behind him. He originally wanted to kill all the prince's men to avenge his sister, but he accidentally discovered Jiang Ning's birthmark.

She had felt sorry for her son in the past, but now she didn't want Jiang Ning to be hurt anymore.

Although they had not recognized each other, Jiang Yao knew that Jiang Ning must not be caught!

After this unexpected truth was revealed, Lord Chu couldn't help but hesitate for a moment.

Jiang Yao's protective attitude towards her son clearly showed that she was ready to fight him to the death. If it were someone else, she would definitely be charged with harboring a criminal, but her identity... made Lord Chu feel a little restrained and he didn't dare to use any harsh measures against her.

The cold wind blew in the woods, the leaves flipped and swayed in the wind, and the moonlight was broken into pieces by the sharp edges of the leaves, and only spots fell on the ground.

Just as he was deep in thought, a strange voice sounded in his ears.

"laugh"

This is the sound of a sword entering flesh.

The tip of a sword protruded from Jiang Yao's belly.

Jiang Yao turned her head in disbelief. The severe pain in her abdomen reminded her that this was not an illusion. The biological son she had just recognized had actually killed her with his own hands!

And she stood in front of him, trying to use her life to buy him time to escape.

"Why...why are you doing this?" Jiang Yao uttered these words with difficulty. "Ning'er, I, I really am your mother."

She questioned, "When you were wandering around, you should have had a jade pendant around your neck with the word 'Ning' tattooed on it... That was the name your father and I gave you..."

Jiang Ning didn't even look at her and said coldly, "I don't have a mother."
