Meng 49 sword

Chapter 242 Memory of Blood

The emperor's grand tour will inevitably lead to chaos in the court.But in today's Great Xia, there has not been a crown prince.

Meng Qiqi frowned and thought for a moment, then asked, "Has Princess Yihe come to Beijing?"

Xiao Xiao shook her head, "Not yet, but Master is worried that she will become the target of public criticism?"

"With the poor imagination of those princes, they would never have imagined that a woman in Yihe would also want to compete with them for the throne, probably just to win her over. For Yihe, this may not be her advantage."

After speaking, Meng Qiqi said again: "No, it should be said that if she can't turn it into her own advantage, then she doesn't have to fight."

"Then Master is worried about Gui Luoluo?" Xiao Xiao asked.

"This person is wicked, who knows what he will do after Yihe takes the throne?" Meng Qiqi is willing to push Yihe to the throne because he thinks that Yihe is a very smart person. On the premise of being smart, She still has a basic view of the overall situation, at least she performed well in Jinling.

But Gui Luoluo... this is a person who has no respect for life.

But no matter how worried Meng Qiqi was, those were things that hadn't happened yet, and it was useless to talk about them.He asked Xiao Xiao about Zhao Haiping's recent situation, and he was relieved when he learned that everything was fine.

In the end, he is also a common man, as long as the people he cares about are doing well, the situation is not too bad.

Xiao Xiao said: "Recently, General Zhao has been on duty in the palace. Perhaps the emperor feels that the palace is not safe. The closer he is to death, the more he is afraid that others will kill him."

Meng Qiqi listened and didn't say a word.

Afterwards, Meng Qiqi asked Xiao Xiao to take him to the prison where Ji Yuetang was imprisoned. Because Xiao Xiao had been with Zhao Haiping all the time and got acquainted with each other, it was very convenient for her to walk around.

It's just that the prison has long since been empty, and all Meng Qiqi can see is a straw mat and a broken bowl.

He squatted down in front of the straw mat, saw the dark red blood stains on the straw mat, in the cracks between the bricks, and even on the wall, and couldn't help asking: "Is this blood Ji Yuetang's?"

Xiao Xiao: "It should be his fault, the blood is still fresh. General Zhao ordered people to interrogate him many times, but unfortunately there was no way to kill him."

Hearing this, Meng Qiqi's mind reappeared in the coffin in the secret place of Yinshan, where Ji Yuetang's body was lying.At that time, he had raised such a question to Chen Boyan - if the one lying there is Ji Yuetang, then who is this one in Shenjing?

It's weird that he doesn't age or even die.And he planned this great chaos with his own hands, so it was unreasonable for him to hide in Shenjing and not come out.If it was Meng Qiqi, he would have to see it with his own eyes no matter what he did.

"You said he said that as long as you are in Shenjing, you can't kill him?" Meng Qiqi asked.

"Yes." Xiao Xiao nodded.

Hearing this, Meng Qiqi's doubts became more and more serious.He looked at the bloodstains around him, and couldn't help but reach out to touch them, and the moment his fingertips touched the bloodstains, Meng Qiqi's heart skipped a beat.

"Plop!" Meng Qiqi was taken aback, her fingertips seemed to be on fire, and she quickly withdrew them.

Xiao Xiao noticed his strangeness, and quickly asked: "Master?"

"I'm fine." Meng Qiqi said, her heart gradually calmed down, but her face was extremely serious.

Xiao Xiao knew that his master must have discovered something, but if he didn't say anything now, Xiao Xiao wouldn't ask any more.Then, under his gaze, Meng Qiqi reached out again and touched the thickest bloodstain on the wall.

The blood was so red that it was black, like old ointment, but it didn't have the slightest stench similar to that of a monster.Xiao Xiao once suspected that Ji Yuetang was a big monster that was born with intelligence and natural form, but obviously this guess might not be accurate.

Unless he slowly faded that stench over a long period of time.

The second touch felt stronger than the first.

Meng Qiqi closed his eyes and carefully felt the shock of these bloodstains. He felt that he was like a flat boat on the raging sea. His whole body was passively rising and falling with the waves, and his brain was so dizzy that he could only hear himself getting more and more frantic. heartbeat.

"Plop, plop, plop..."

The more he wanted to see clearly, the more he couldn't see clearly, so he gritted his teeth and melted the rough wall with his fingertips, and wiped the blood with the blood flowing from his fingertips.

The blood of the two gradually merged under Xiao Xiao's astonished gaze.

"Wow!" The big waves hit, Meng Qiqi felt his whole body being blown away by the raging waves, and his consciousness was about to be knocked out of his head.Then he fell slowly, slowly, but never landed on the sea again.

The raging waves disappeared, and his frantic heartbeat gradually subsided. He opened his eyes and found himself in a picturesque village.

where is this?

Meng Qiqi looked around blankly, feeling that everything here was very strange.This must not be his memory, that is Ji Yuetang's memory.

Sure enough, after a while, he saw Ji Yuetang walking over on a road with small white flowers carrying a small pannier on his back.But this Ji Yuetang was completely different from the Ji Yuetang in Meng Qiqi's memory, because the smile on his face was genuine, and his big eyes were bright and crystal clear.

As he walked, he was counting on his fingers and muttering words.Because he was too focused, he didn't see the road under his feet clearly, and fell into the ditch next to him with an "oops".

Fortunately, the gutter was dry.He got up on his short legs, patted the dirt on his clothes, and looked a little annoyed.But he fell down, and it was useless for him to be upset, so he had to keep going.

This Ji Yuetang was really different from the one Meng Qiqi knew.But Meng Qiqi inexplicably felt that this one was more real, because his behavior was more in line with the appearance of an eight or nine-year-old boy.

At this moment, a sound of horseshoes came from the entrance of the village. Ji Yuetang's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he immediately ran towards the entrance of the village at a faster pace.He didn't seem to see Meng Qiqi, and ran past him.

Meng Qiqi hurriedly ran with him, and then saw an unexpected but reasonable person——Yao Guang.

At this time, Yao Guang was still a teenager, riding a big black horse that was unusually handsome, with open eyebrows and high spirits.He greeted Ji Yuetang familiarly, while Ji Yuetang looked up at the young man on the horse with envy and admiration, and said, "Brother Yaoguang, why are you riding a horse this time? Where's your sword?"

"My sword is at home, and I can't take it out for the time being." Yao Guang touched his nose, as if he was hiding something embarrassing.

Ji Yuetang didn't doubt that he was there, and opened those big flickering eyes again, and asked, "Then did you bring me anything?"

Yao Guang got off his horse and took out a bulging cloth bag from the Sumeru Ring. While digging out something, he explained to Ji Yuetang: "This is rice noodles and some bacon. You can eat it for a while. And these books, take care of them." Take a look, I will teach you how to read when I am free next time."

Ji Yuetang was more interested in other things, grabbed a small wooden sword, and asked, "What are these?"

"Little wooden horse and little flying sword, I made them myself, do you like them?" Yao Guang asked.

"I like it!" Ji Yuetang nodded happily, and then quickly made a gesture with the wooden sword, but that gesture was too clumsy, not handsome at all.

The two talked for a while, and Yao Guang put all the things into Ji Yuetang's pan, carried it on his shoulder with one hand, and then led the horse, beckoning Ji Yuetang to go home.

The two walked side by side along the road that Ji Yuetang had come from, talking and laughing.Seen from the back, they look like a pair of close brothers.

Meng Qiqi didn't expect the story to start like this, and subconsciously looked at the surrounding houses, feeling a little strange—from the moment Ji Yuetang appeared just now until now, Meng Qiqi only saw the two of them. What about the others?

He looked forward to Yao Guang and Ji Yuetang again, making sure that they were not walking fast, so he couldn't help but walked into a house whose door was half closed.

The room was empty.

Meng Qiqi looked at the cobwebs on the beams, and then swept across the trace of blood covered by dust on the corner of the table, and had an extremely bad guess in her heart.

The next moment, he quickly rushed out of the gate and entered the next door.The house next door was still empty, and the thickness of the dust indicated that it had been empty for at least a year.

After a stick of incense, Meng Qiqi looked at the smoke rising not far away with eyes full of doubts and scrutiny.It was near the end of the village, and Ji Yuetang lived alone.

And the whole village has been emptied of people.

No, more precisely, everyone in this village is dead, because the hillside outside the village is full of tombstones.

Are these people dead because of monsters?Meng Qiqi carefully sniffed the smell in the air, trying to distinguish a trace of fishy smell, but everyone in this village died more than a year ago, and even the strong smell has dissipated.

So Meng Qiqi had no choice but to go to see Yao Guang and Ji Yuetang honestly.

The two of them were already ready to finish their meal. A small wooden table, two small stools, a plate of stewed meat and a plate of vegetables were all for dinner.

Soon, the conversation between the two cleared up Meng Qiqi's confusion.

Ji Yuetang took a bite of the meat, hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice, "Brother Yaoguang, is there a fierce beating outside?"

Yao Guang didn't want to tell him too many bloody things, so he just said briefly: "It's still the same."

"Then are you going to fight too?" Ji Yuetang finally asked the question he wanted to ask the most.

"This..." Yao Guang looked at Ji Yuetang, hesitant to speak.

The two of them were silent for a while, and finally, Yao Guang calmed down, put down his job, and said solemnly: "I'm going. One day, sooner or later, I will defeat the monsters, restore peace to the world, and avenge the people in this village." .”

"But, but..."

"Don't be afraid, you will be fine. When I leave, I will send someone to protect you."

But Ji Yuetang was obviously not worried about this, he grabbed Yao Guang's sleeve tightly and said, "Can you not go? It's so dangerous outside..."

Saying that, Ji Yuetang's eyes turned red, as if she was about to cry.

Yao Guang looked distressed, stretched out his hand and rubbed his head, but his eyes were firm.

Meng Qiqi knew that one day he would fulfill his promise, and no one in this world could be more determined than Yao Guang.The potential dragon is in the abyss, and one day it will soar in the sky.

And through the dialogue between the two, Meng Qiqi can confirm that the murderer who harmed the people of this village is a monster, and the situation outside the village may not be good.

It was a year ago that the villagers were killed. If monsters and beasts were to wreak havoc, there would be mourning everywhere in Great Xia.

But what about Ji Yuetang?Meng Qiqi couldn't understand again, what is his suitable status?
