"I've always just wanted to spend the rest of my life with Jueshi, nothing else. But you know, he's like this because of me, and I will never leave him. But I'm so scared, how can I save him?" Yi Yun Muchen's eyes welled up with tears.
Ji Wushang took out a silk handkerchief and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. "There must be a way. His love for you has stirred up your memories of him, so you haven't forgotten him. And your love for him allows him to maintain his mind even after breaking the magic seal. I think if you can continue to love each other deeply, you will definitely be able to grow old together and walk hand in hand."
"Really?" Yi Yun Muchen looked at Ji Wushang. "I'm really worried. Hearing you say that just now reminded me of his outburst that day. I... I'm so scared."
Ji Wushang was stunned. Watching her man go mad was indeed a very painful thing. She didn't know how to alleviate his pain... She didn't want to experience that helplessness and heartache herself.
Ji Wushang gently patted her shoulder, "I will talk to Cong, he will definitely have a way."
"Thank you." Yi Yun Muchen looked at Ji Wushang and held her hand tightly.
Just then, there was a sound of wind breaking outside. Ji Wushang was surprised and immediately stood up, "Someone's here!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than several people rushed in from outside. They were all dressed in black. They recognized Ji Wushang and Yi Yun Muchen and said, "Quickly, tie them both up!"
Yi Yun Muchen was surprised and immediately waved her sleeve at them. A lot of mist flew out from the sleeve. Ji Wushang covered his mouth and nose and pulled her to run outside.
Are these people targeting Yi Yun Muchen or themselves?
Yi Yunmu shouted, "Get out of here right now, I'm fine!"
"No, I can't abandon you!" Ji Wushang shouted, only to see all the servants, maids, and guards in the corridor collapse!
"You're so weak, how can you fight them!" Yi Yun Muchen pushed her into the bushes and slapped her face. Instantly, Ji Wushang felt her whole body go limp and collapse.
Mu Chen! Mu Chen!
Yi Yun Muchen glanced back at Ji Wushang. "Someone will come to rescue you soon. If anything happens to me, please remember to help him." Yi Yun Muchen smiled and then immediately turned and ran in another direction, shouting, "Help! Help! Help!" as she ran.
The men in black ran out of the house and chased after the direction in which Yi Yunmu Chen's voice was calling.
Ji Wushang watched them walk away, but he was unable to move. He tried his best to break free from the drug she had given him. He guessed correctly that she had given him a muscle-relaxing powder, which would paralyze his nerves for a short time, and he would be able to walk again soon.
Main hall.
Nan Xuzong and Beigong Minhao sat together, while opposite them were Huangfuting and Huangfuyu. The four of them chatted about random things, exchanged pleasantries, and sipped a few drinks.
Nan Xuzong looked in the direction of Beigong Jueshi and was delighted to see him, so he drank a few more cups. At this moment, Yiyun Shangcheng stepped down from his high seat and walked up to Beigong Jueshi.
Bei Gong Jue Shi raised his wine cup, his gaze cold enough to freeze the contents of the wine. However, Yi Yun Shang Cheng's purple eyes were smiling, making people think at all times that he was a kind gentleman, a gentle and good king. But when you get close, his aura is so overwhelming that you can't breathe, and you have no choice but to submit.
Yiyun Shangcheng smiled slightly, "I wish you and Muchen all the best."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Bei Gong Jue Shi's lips twitched, giving him a somewhat mechanical look.
Yi Yun Shangcheng smiled, picked up her wine cup and finished the drink, but then muttered something under her breath before saying, "You should go and sit with Prince Nan and your brother. They're over there!"
"Yes." Bei Gong Jue Shi turned around and walked towards Nan Xu Cong and the others.
Nan Xuzong's eyes remained fixed on Bei Gong Jueshi's pupils, but he knew in his heart that it was all a little too late.
There is one last way to save them.
At least he still has a heart and people he cares about, so there's always a way out!
Bei Gong Jue Shi walked over, "Second Prince, Sixth Prince, Prince Nan, Brother."
"Congratulations," both Huangfu Ting and Huangfu Yu said.
"Big brother wishes you all the best!" Bei Gongmin laughed heartily.
Nan Xuzong also said, "Jueshi, remember your love."
Bei Gong Jue Shi was slightly stunned. Love, yes, he loved her very, very much. Yi Yun Muchen, a beautiful name, my Muchen!
"Thank you." Bei Gong Jue Shi nodded and raised the wine glass in his hand.
After watching them finish their drinks, Nan Xuzong picked up his own glass, but the moment he poured and drank the wine, he felt a pain as if his heart and lungs were being ripped out!
No sorrow!
Nan Xuzong slammed down his wine glass. "Excuse me!"
Ji Wushang tried his best to struggle against the drug's effects, but at that moment, he saw a pair of black boots appear in front of him.
☆、193 Mother-Child Gu!
Ji Wushang looked up and saw that the person was dressed entirely in black, except for his eyes, which were so cold that it was impossible to look directly at them. These were eyes unlike anyone else's, but they were very similar to Huangfu Xuan's eyes. However, they were definitely not his. The feeling Huangfu Xuan gave him was one of pressure, initially fear, a feeling of death. But slowly, it changed. He wondered if it was because his state of mind had changed.
The person before me exuded not only murderous intent but also a scrutinizing aura. This was a killer with a mind of their own.
"Say your last words." The man's eyes flickered, and Ji Wushang could see that they had a hint of icy blue, making them quite beautiful eyes!
Ji Wushang shook his head, "Why kill me? Let me die knowing why."
"I can't say." Those three words extinguished her hopes.
"You were afraid of Mu Chen's Gu poison, so you used a diversionary tactic. Your target wasn't Mu Chen, but me, which is quite good," Ji Wushang said with a smile.
The man remained silent, not answering, but instead drew the long sword from his waist with his left hand. His eyes seemed to say, "So what? As long as the goal is achieved, that's enough."
“You are not from the Great Xia Zhou Dynasty.” Ji Wushang slightly raised his eyes to look at him. “I have no grudge against you, why do you want to kill me?”
"Too much talk." The man uttered three more words, but then thrust his longsword forward!
Ji Wushang stepped back, his hands and feet were now free! He pulled out a dagger from his body, and with his other hand, he found a bottle, opened it, and threw it at the man!
The man watched, never expecting that Ji Wushang could actually move, and that he would suddenly fling out medicinal powder! He retreated abruptly, pushed off with his feet, and flew into the air, thrusting his longsword towards Ji Wushang's neck again!
Ji Wushang watched his fierce swordsmanship and tried to block with her dagger. A ruthless glint flashed in the man's eyes, and he increased the force! Ji Wushang was forced back by the force, but she turned her head to dodge his sword. The man was slightly surprised; she knew martial arts.
His sword tip veered off course and thrust towards Ji Wushang again, just to see how powerful she was!
Ji Wushang suddenly retreated, only to find it was too late!
At that critical moment, with a "clang!" sound, the man suddenly stepped back, gripping his long sword. He steadied himself and saw a person sitting in a wheelchair, glaring at him angrily, with a golden thread coiled in their hand. The force from just now must have come from that golden thread!
The man was slightly taken aback, knowing he was no match for him and also knowing who this was, he immediately jumped away! Nan Xuzong's eyes were cold, he pulled back the golden thread, and immediately used the golden thread to wrap Ji Wushang to his side, "Wushang".
"I'm alright, hurry and save Mu Chen!" Ji Wushang shouted, "She ran in that direction! The men in black are chasing her!"
Nan Xuzong's eyes flickered, and he saw a red figure flying away from a distance in the direction Ji Wushang had indicated, at an extremely fast speed!
“It’s Jue Shi. He heard what you said,” Nan Xu Cong said, confirming that Ji Wu Shang was not injured before withdrawing the golden silk.
“Let’s go take a look,” Ji Wushang said. “Although their goal is to kill me, I think if they can’t find me, they might become enraged and kill Mu Chen. If that happens, I think the second son of the Wang family will hate me to death.”
Nan Xuzong nodded. But he was even more puzzled. This group of people were cooperating very well. None of the guards he sent to protect Ji Wushang knew what had happened. This meant that they knew exactly where he had placed those guards... These people really knew him well! But no one knew these things about him. It could only mean that they knew his way of doing things and his personality very well.
Who is it?
At this moment, Bei Gongminhao and Yi Yunshangcheng arrived. Seeing them there, and noticing the clear signs of a struggle, they immediately stepped forward. Bei Gongminhao asked, "What happened?"
“Someone wants to kill Wu Shang and Mu Chen. Princess Mu Chen has lured the men in black away, and they are in great danger. Jue Shi is in pursuit.” Nan Xu Cong said simply and immediately gestured, “Let’s go quickly.”
"The guests at the wedding banquet?" Ji Wushang asked worriedly. The bride and groom had both disappeared, wouldn't that arouse suspicion? And what about the wedding night games? They were supposed to be playing pranks, but now they've all vanished. What should we do?
"I will have someone inform Father and Mother!" Bei Gongminhao said immediately, turned around, and stood behind Nan Xuzong, pushing his wheelchair forward.
Ji Wushang nodded, his gaze shifting to Yi Yun Shangcheng. Yi Yun Shangcheng's eyes turned slightly cold, but he didn't show any obvious sign of nervousness, which chilled Ji Wushang's heart. Was he truly heartless? Did he not even care about his own sister?
Ji Wushang immediately followed, ignoring him.
Yiyun Shangcheng's lips curled into a smile as she watched them leave. Her purple eyes closed and then opened again, turning crimson! The next second, they were gone!
Bei Gong Jue Shi had been chasing her anxiously, observing her surroundings. She was sure she had left some clues! Bei Gong Jue Shi narrowed her eyes and looked ahead. They had already chased her out of the imperial city, and the destination was some abandoned houses outside the imperial city.
Following the directions, Bei Gong Jue Shi entered the house and saw several men in black standing outside, as if they had been waiting for a long time.
Bei Gong Jueshi stopped, his eyes cold. "Where is Mu Chen?"
One of the men in black said, "She? Dead."
Upon hearing this, Bei Gong Jue Shi's red eyes seemed to drip blood, and he looked like a demon from hell. He drew the soft sword from his waist and charged forward without saying a word. His ruthless moves left these people with no chance to defend themselves!
With several shrill screams, Bei Gong Jue Shi had torn the people in front of him to shreds. His long sword, dripping with blood, was pressed against the neck of the man who had just spoken. "I'll ask you one more time, where is Mu Chen?"
The man was trembling so badly he couldn't speak.
"Why are you in such a hurry to get people? What do you want?" At this moment, a person walked out of the abandoned house. He spoke in a mocking voice. He was dressed in all black, with his dark hair simply tied up and tucked behind his head. He was both charming and arrogant.
However, Bei Gong Jue Shi was very unhappy. His wedding was being disturbed by them like this, and he wished he could go up and tear them all to pieces!
"Hand over Mu Chen, and I may spare your lives!" Bei Gong Jue Shi said coldly, raising his hand slightly, and the black-clad man under his sword had already been beheaded and died.
"I'm saying, it's a life for a life, are you willing to do it or not?" the man said with a smile.
Bei Gong Jue Shi glanced at him coldly, and asked instead, "Where is she?"
The man laughed and clapped his hands. Immediately, with a loud "boom," a house collapsed. Bei Gong Jue Shi looked over at the sound and saw Yi Yun Muchen hanging from the well!
"Mu Chen!" Bei Gong Jue Shi was on the verge of madness, his grip on the soft sword growing even colder. "Release her!"
At this moment, Yi Yun Muchen was hanging high with her head down. Her red wedding dress fluttered in the wind, making her even more alluring, but it also stung Bei Gong Jue Shi's eyes even more.
His heart felt like it was being squeezed tightly, and he couldn't breathe at all.
Bei Gong Jueshi stepped forward, sword in hand, "Mu Chen!"
However, Yi Yun Muchen kept his head down and did not react at all.
"Stop! One more step and she'll die!" the man said coldly. He gave a signal, and the men in black behind him immediately released their grip. Driven by the gears, the rope binding Yi Yun Muchen slid downwards, and Yi Yun Muchen fell directly into the well water! With a "thud," Yi Yun Muchen landed in the icy water! The cold sensation jolted her awake.
Bei Gong Jue Shi was so shocked and heartbroken that he was about to go crazy!
"Stop!" Bei Gong Jue Shi roared.
The man waved his hand, and the men in black hoisted Yi Yun Muchen high up again. Yi Yun Muchen coughed violently, and then, looking at the scene before her, she realized that she had been thinking of escaping, but unexpectedly, there were already people standing in front of her. Before she could even react, she had been knocked unconscious by that man, and now, this was the scene before her!
Ji Wushang, Nan Xuzong, and Beigong Minhao were rushing to catch up, but it seemed they were running out of time!
"Minho, go and check on them first. Make sure nothing goes wrong." Nan Xuzong shouted as he assessed the situation. If his legs were alright, he was sure he could catch up with Beigong Jueshi with them very quickly.
Bei Gong Minhao glanced at them and said, "Okay, take your time, don't rush! Everything will be fine!" Bei Gong Minhao immediately ran towards Bei Gong Jueshi's direction.
Ji Wushang looked at him and said, "Let's go quickly."
"If you were captured like this today, I don't know what I would do!" Nan Xuzong said with a helpless tone.
His point was that if Ji Wushang were captured, he would have to rely on others for his legs, and even if he was highly skilled in martial arts, he would only be able to use them from a wheelchair and would not be able to fully utilize his abilities.
Ji Wushang walked behind him. "I understand what you mean, but I trust you." Ji Wushang didn't say much, but pushed his wheelchair forward.
