"hiss!"
At this moment, Shen Li suddenly screamed in pain.
He lowered his head and found that his wrist was tightly grasped by Old Madam Yang. Perhaps because she was too nervous, her sharp nails actually dug into his flesh, and a strange pain swept through his body.
He subconsciously wanted to pull his hand back.
Old Madam Yang held him even tighter, pulling him to lower his voice, "Grandson-in-law, you must trust Grandma. Grandma's words count. As long as you find a way to save Grandma, Grandma will definitely let A Zhao marry you again. I am his ancestor and can make the decision for her."
Shen Li frowned.
However, the strange pain in his wrist had disappeared. Seeing Madam Yang's cowardly look, he did not forcefully pull his hand away. Instead, he said in a somewhat cold voice, "I can't save you."
"No, you have a way!"
No one knew where Madam Yang took out the black pill from, but she quietly stuffed it into Shen Li's hand. "Grandson-in-law, this is a drug that I secretly took from Princess Yuchang last time. I heard that it will dissolve instantly when thrown into water. It is colorless and odorless, and one mouthful can make an elephant faint. You can give it to me quietly..."
"How did you untie her?"
When the guard saw that Madam Yang had been untied, he frowned and turned back.
Old Madam Yang looked like a frightened deer, and she shrank back to the tree trunk she had just leaned against. She even took the initiative to stuff the cloth back into her mouth, looking very cowardly.
When Shen Li saw this scene, he hid the black pill in his sleeve for some unknown reason.
Yunxi didn't care about the situation over there.
After all, in his opinion, those people couldn't do anything special.
After the grilled fish was done, he set his sights on Mo Junran, who had been sitting cross-legged without moving. A smile of appreciation flashed in his eyes. He lightly shook the dark bell on his wrist and spoke slowly, "Mo Junran."
As he spoke, Mo Junran, who had his eyes closed, opened them.
A pair of bloodshot eyes.
Like a beast without any emotion, empty and without spirit.
Yunxi waved at him: "Come here."
Mo Junran stood up and walked straight to Yunxi.
Standing still and saying nothing.
Yunxi continued; "Kneel down."
Mo Junran knelt on one knee.
His knees landed on the stones as if he had no feeling at all, his back was straight and he was as obedient as a puppet being completely controlled.
"Spread your hands."
Mo Junran did as he was told and spread out his hands.
Next second.
A grilled fish that had just been grilled until it was charred and piping hot was placed directly into his open palm.
Even if your hands have calluses, they will be blistered instantly.
But Mo Junran seemed unconscious, letting the grilled fish remain in his palm, his whole body maintaining the same posture like a statue.
"Is it hot?"
"hot."
"Eat it."
Upon hearing this, Mo Junran took the charred fish and put it into his mouth and slowly ate it, bite by bite. He looked quite elegant and not at all embarrassed. He was even able to avoid the big bones of the fish while eating.
Yunxi kept watching.
Only when I saw him finish the whole fish did I smile with satisfaction.
This Mo Junran came to my door on his own that day.
To be honest, even if he showed up unintentionally, he would still find a way to make him appear. After all, in the entire Mo Dynasty, only the Black Armored Army was something he truly valued, and besides Emperor Wenyuan, the only one who could control the Black Armored Army was King Yi.
When the time comes, as long as Emperor Wenyuan dies...
"Let's go!"
Yunxi stood up, patted her clothes, looked up in the direction of the capital, and a cold look flashed in her eyes.
"It's time to reunite!"
Mo Junran has been following behind him, not too close, not too far, like the most loyal guard...
In the mountains less than a hundred miles away from the capital.
Yunxi and others quickly entered a hidden secret passage, passed through layers of secret passages, and finally appeared in an empty mountain valley.
This valley connects countless secret passages in the mountains.
If it weren't for someone familiar, it would be impossible to find it.
Moreover, even if the valley is discovered one day, the people in the valley can still retreat quickly and secretly using the numerous secret passages.
It can be seen that the person who created this secret passage in the valley put a lot of thought into it.
All aspects have been taken into consideration.
There are several palace-like houses in the valley. When Yunxi returned, everyone in the palace came out to greet her.
"Your Majesty!"
The leader brought a group of people wearing clothes similar to official uniforms, and they all knelt on the ground to greet them. At the same time, there were several people behind them whose faces were different from ordinary people, and their clothes were a little different.
The most obvious ones are two tall men with blond hair and blue eyes.
Unlike the people before them, when they saw Yunxi, they just stood there, put their hands on their chests, and nodded slightly as a greeting.
There are other different styles of greeting.
But unlike the people in front, the ones behind all gave a slight bow. From their postures, it could be seen that they all carried a kind of arrogance.
He was just polite to Yunxi, without any obvious respect or inferiority.
really.
The people behind were not from Yunxi, but representatives from various countries.
After the ceremony.
Yunxi led his men into the largest palace.
"Your Highness, I heard that your plan in the capital failed? This is different from what we agreed at the beginning." As soon as he entered the hall, Aru, the representative of the Xiongnu, spoke in a calm voice.
"Our man Ryan has been captured, Your Highness. Ryan is one of our Earl's most capable subordinates. You must give our Earl an explanation." This time it was Jerry, the envoy representing the Kingdom of Arie, who spoke.
In addition to these two countries, there are also Fuso, Siam, and even... barbarians.
If Mo Chen were here at this time.
He would definitely find out that the barbarian standing in the hall at this moment was none other than Luo Li, the envoy of the Barbarian King, who had been contacting him on behalf of his uncle the Barbarian King and secretly sending him people and soldiers for the past ten years.
Luo Li didn't say anything, not even a word about Mo Chen.
However, he did ask, "Your Majesty, my king said, you've been asking us to contribute manpower for so long, when will you fulfill your original promise to us?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the others followed suit.
Yunxi did not answer. After sitting on the chair in the hall, he looked at the people below indifferently.
There were two envoys from each of the five countries, ten in total.
Everyone was chattering and asking questions, some were impatient and spoke in a bad tone, and some even mentioned the treaty that had been agreed upon.
"What's the rush?"
After those voices had almost finished speaking, Yunxi said quietly, "As long as Emperor Wenyuan dies, we can naturally begin."
"But the problem is, Emperor Wenyuan is pretending."
"I've heard that Emperor Wenyuan's incompetence and illness were all deliberately feigned. Wasn't the coup you initiated a failure because of his scheme? Now even your subordinate, Princess Yuchang, has been captured."
