Chapter 274 Seeking Death
"Oh my god, what is that?"
"What kind of monster is this?!"
As the team moved forward, the people's faces changed. I saw a nine-headed snake in front of the team! ! It has a huge body, with nine heads raised high and its tongue gently spitting out.
The cold and terrifying gaze made everyone tremble with fear and retreat continuously.
There is a small horn on the snake head in the center, which seems to be about to sprout.
"It's the ferocious beast recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, Xiangliu!" An erudite old minister gasped.
"It is said that the beast Xiangliu has nine heads and a snake body. It is ugly and brutal, extremely vicious, feeds on humans, and is murderous by nature. Why would the Southern Kingdom's divine envoy bring Xiangliu out?"
"Look, there's a person sitting on the snake's head!"
Everyone was horrified to find that there was a young boy sitting on the snake's head.
"Hurry and enter the city. Xiangliu is cruel and murderous and eats humans. If they are really eaten, I'm afraid Your Majesty won't be able to do anything about it." As soon as the old man said this, everyone rushed into the city.
Lu Yuanze didn't care at all, he had already gone crazy, with a crazy smile on his face.
"Pei, you deserve to die, you've hurt me! I have nothing left, I have nothing!" Pei's fingertips trembled, and her breath became weaker and weaker.
Lu Jingyao stood by the river, crying helplessly, "Daddy, Daddy, please let mother go."
"Help, help, is there anyone who can save my mother? Please, save my mother... Wuuuuuu..." Lu Jingyao cried.
She knelt on the ground and cried helplessly.
The people lay at the city gate, looking at everything in front of them in horror.
That nine-headed snake was almost taller than the city gate.
Too scary, too horrifying.
"Mother, someone come, please save my mother..." Lu Jingyao knelt on the ground pitifully. When she turned around, she saw Hydra looking at her indifferently with a pair of cold eyes.
The beast was dripping and drooling.
The beast's breath carried a hint of blood, and it even sniffed Lu Jingyao gently. It regarded Lu Jingyao as food!
Lu Jingyao was so frightened that her face turned pale and her whole body was shaking. She knelt on the ground, crying and begging: "Big brother, big brother, please save mother. Save Yaoyao's mother..."
She saw the logo on the carriage in the team and her eyes flickered slightly.
That is the national emblem of the South.
The little person knelt on the ground and kowtowed continuously, crying for help to the high and mighty Nan Mubai: "Big brother, please..."
If someone didn't know the truth, they would probably feel pity for him.
When you kowtow.
The pendant hanging around my neck suddenly slipped off.
The ground was covered with jingle-dong sounds.
Lu Jingyao held up the copper coin and cried, "Big brother, I'll give you money. I'll give you money. This is an heirloom from my family. I'll give you money to save my mother, okay?"
Nan Mubai's eyes fell on the copper coin and his expression suddenly froze.
"Stop!" The young man's clear voice was cold.
Several guards walked out of the team, broke Lu Yuanze's fingers directly, and rescued Pei, who was dying and had only one breath left.
Pei collapsed on the ground like a dead dog, gasping for breath.
His eye sockets were bloodshot, terrifyingly red.
The purple marks on Pei's snow-white and slender throat were shocking.
“Ahem…”
"Ugh..." Pei's throat hurt so much that she couldn't speak. She covered her throat tightly and coughed continuously. Every time she coughed, it felt like her throat was being cut by a knife.
She was almost, just almost, strangled to death by Lu Yuanze.
The saliva she spat out was stained with blood.
Lu Yuanze hated her to death.
"Ah!!" Lu Yuanze fell to the ground wailing with his hands in his arms, shaking in pain and curled up.
"Who are you? How dare you harm an official appointed by the imperial court!" The veins on Lu Yuanze's forehead bulged and his fingers were swollen horribly.
How dare they break his fingers!
It hurts so much...
"An imperial official? Haha... Even if I kill the imperial official of Beizhao, what can Emperor Xuanping do to me?" Nan Mubai said with a chuckle.
He turned around and looked at Lu Jingyao.
The copper coin in my hand...
"Little girl, where did the copper coins in your hand come from?" Nan Mubai narrowed his eyes slightly and stepped forward to take the copper coins from Lu Jingyao's hand.
There were only three copper coins, strung together with a red thread, like a talisman.
The national emblem is engraved on the copper coins of the Southern Kingdom. At this moment, the three coins in his hand are the copper coins of the Southern Kingdom.
Lu Jingyao sobbed and said, "Big brother, these are my mother's things."
She rummaged through her bosom and pulled out a purse.
Nan Mubai took the purse and curled the corners of his lips slightly.
The purse had been washed so thoroughly that it turned white, and even the patterns drawn on it with gold thread had been removed. But you can still vaguely see its original appearance.
He untied the purse from his waist and put the two purses together for comparison.
The worn one was missing its gold thread, but it looked...
Exactly the same.
"Big brother, your purse is the same as my purse..." Lu Jingyao raised her head, her little face with tears, and looked at Nan Mubai pitifully.
"Where did you get the purse?" Nan Mubai played with the purse.
These two purses are actually somewhat different.
The worn-out one, embroidered with a golden dragon, was used by the emperor.
This is something that my great grandfather used in the past.
After searching for it everywhere, I finally found it without any effort.
"This is my mother's thing. She gave it to Yaoyao." Lu Jingyao cried and hugged the half-dead Pei.
"Mom, Yaoyao is so scared, mom, you must hold on. Yaoyao only has you, mom..." She looked at Nan Mubai helplessly.
Nan Mubai glanced at Pei, who was lying on the ground, his life or death unknown.
His eyebrows were slightly raised.
"Little girl, what's your name?" Nan Mubai didn't see the Southern Kingdom's heirloom jade pendant, and there was always a trace of doubt in his heart.
"Big brother, my...last name is Lu, and my name is Lu Jingyao. I also have an older brother named Lu Jinghuai." Lu Jingyao said in a low voice.
"Daddy wants to kill us. He doesn't want Yaoyao, and Yaoyao has no family." As he spoke, he began to sob.
Fortunately, fortunately she discovered the abnormality of the copper coin.
Fortunately, she was waiting for the people from the Southern Country to arrive early.
She stepped forward and leaned against her mother.
Pei opened her eyes weakly and vaguely saw Nan Mubai holding his purse in a daze.
She seemed to have some impression of it, which her mother told her before her death.
At that time, her father died early for some reason before she was born.
At that time, Mrs. Pei had just arrived in Beijing and became the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery.
The mother went to Beijing with her belly bulging and asked her for child support. If she doesn't give it to him, she will abort the child. If you give it to me, I will leave a descendant for the Pei family.
The Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery had just arrived in Beijing and had not yet established itself. They gave money, but not much.
On her way home, the mother met an old lady holding a baby. Seeing that the other person was shivering with cold and would not live long anyway, he simply snatched the other person's purse and ran away, not even daring to look at the baby.
After returning home, he found that the purse was embroidered with gold thread.
She was afraid of being found, so she didn't dare to sell the purse. He took off the gold thread and exchanged it for a lot of loose silver.
After giving birth to me, she remarried.
Pei felt a little secretly happy. That child must have frozen to death in the snow, right?
Before the smile on her face froze, she saw Nan Mubai suddenly snap his fingers.
