prince attendant

Chapter 178

The burning of the mountain could have been dragged on, someone comforted him, and said that there are still many people in the forest, and Mu Qing just followed suit to delay, and sent someone to throw a letter into the forest to speak out If you confess your guilt, you can be punished lightly, or if it was like this, there were many people who were blown away into the mountains by the wind, but they didn't wait for someone to respond.

What they waited for was the Gu people who ran out from the forest, more anxious and fierce, biting anyone they saw, even more powerful, and even lost their minds.So burning mountains and setting fires is imminent.

In words, they are full of indignation

"It is unforgivable to protest after warnings have been issued."

"It's really stubborn. I'm afraid there are no normal living people in that mountain forest."

guess again

"There is no news for so many days, maybe the prince and the others have already been killed."

"Otherwise, it should have come out long ago. It's been almost two months."

"Besides, releasing so much Gu poison, I really want to destroy the city."

"Tell me, will His Highness..."

When everyone was discussing this kind of thing in the courtyard, Mu Qing was passing by. When he heard these discussions, he stood in the aisle and listened quietly until someone found him, so he came to greet him in fear and sincerity, thinking that He was going to get angry, Mu Qing was silent for a long time, and then said

"Burn the mountain."

Burn it, you can't wait any longer, no matter whether the people who enter are dead or alive, you can't let the people outside lose their lives because of this.

An old man in the city who has studied astronomical phenomena said

"Within three days, there will be heavy rain. According to the practice of previous years, when there is a heavy rain at this time, it will not stop for a while."

According to Huan Xin's years of experience in astronomical phenomena during the march, this rain will also come unexpectedly.

"That is to say, it is best to burn the mountain at this moment."

Mu Qing lowered her head and said lightly

"Sure enough, at this time, if it burns for a day or two, those who should be burned to death will be extinguished in this fire. When the rain extinguishes the fire, everything may come to an end."

Mu Qing has made arrangements for everything—in fact, there is nothing to arrange. In terms of government affairs, Xie Jin who has come back, Wu Youhuanxin and others are guarding, and there are Hua Jiang and Cao Muting and others for treatment. All you need to do is maintain The previous appearance, even if I am not around, it doesn't matter.

His solemn confession made people feel an indescribable illusion, as if he was explaining the future.

But the night before, when the final discussion was over, Huan Xin said again

"I know that you are under too much pressure now, but it will be fine if you get over it. Besides, I will take someone to the mountains again, so you can take it easy for a while."

"There is no boy's life to sacrifice, how can General Huan be more indecisive than me."

Mu Qing waved his hand, rejected such a proposal, twitched the corners of his mouth, raised his head and looked at the dark night sky, without a trace of brilliance in his eyes, he went on to say

"About the Gu poison, Hua Jiang and the others seem to have found a feasible way. Perhaps in the near future, they will be able to get the antidote, but the burning of the mountain cannot be delayed any longer. If the weird music is not completely cut off, the Gu poison There will never be a solution, as for Your Highness—"

Mu Qing was dull for a while, then said softly

"As for Your Highness, when he said such a thing, he was prepared for such a result, and it's no wonder, no wonder—"

He wanted to say that no one could be blamed, but he couldn't say the last few words no matter what.

How can anyone not be blamed? The first person to blame is His Highness himself. If he didn't say what he said and burned the mountain if he didn't come out, he can shirk it today and don't have to issue this order. It is not necessary to light the first fire.

Mu Qing and a group of people stood on the mountain, in front of them was a blank separation road that had been cut and hollowed out, so that the fire would not continue and burn down the neighboring towns.

When the time came, he lit the first fire. Burning the mountain is not a very good act, not to mention that there is His Royal Highness in it, so they are very frightened. When lighting the fire, they all hope that a miracle will happen. But when the flames were connected together, no one came out from it.

But when the flames at the two ends were about to converge, Mu Qing suddenly ran forward without warning, and then jumped into the sea of ​​flames! !

"Jade!"

"grown ups!"

A group of people were so startled by his sudden movement that they were about to come out and shouted immediately. The people nearby tried to reach out and grab him, but before they even touched his belt, he had already jumped in, and the next moment the flames ignited Then it burned, and there was a sea of ​​flames in front of it. The scorching temperature made it impossible to even approach, and there was no possibility of any assistance.

But only the fire spreading in front of his eyes, but he couldn't even see his image clearly

Huan Xin and Xie Jin stood together, and after hearing the news, after being shocked for a long time, he said anxiously and angrily

"It's just nonsense! Thanks to him for thinking it out!"

But the last sentence is as low as dust, life and death are at stake, it's not just nonsense, Huan Xin slapped the pillar beside him, and Xie Jin remained silent, but frowned, thinking about Mu Qing today, he will not sleep for a few days Constantly arranging things, it turns out that he is really explaining the aftermath!

Huan Xin laughed back angrily, and said

"He really has deep affection for His Highness. If His Highness can't survive, he will follow to die for love. It seems that we are ungrateful and ungrateful."

"All right."

Xie Jin rubbed her eyebrows and said

"Since he doesn't want to live, there are others who want to live."

say again

"The relationship between him and us, and His Highness, is completely different."

Huan Xin remained silent, but there was a melancholy look between his brows.

heat.

pain.

Mu Qing was running in the forest. He didn't know how he had such courage to jump into the fire. He was so angry at that moment that he had to run inside desperately so as not to be swallowed by the fire.

But the speed of the fire burning is much faster than his running speed, and the smoke is so lingering that it has covered the entire mountain forest, making it very difficult for people to breathe. Mu Qing was not burned to death by the fire, but I am afraid that he will be killed by the smoke all over the sky first. Xun died of suffocation.

Mu Qing instinctively coughed out his heart and lungs, but he didn't even see His Highness the last time how he died.

There is a sparkling river in front of my eyes, which is a meandering river.

River.

Mu Qing threw himself down by the river, and he plunged in. The icy cold water gave him half a moment of sobriety, and then he raised his head again, remembering what happened when he was wading through the water to let him board the boat.

Looking along the river, you can only see denser and deeper forests, filled with fire and smoke.

Mu Qing stood up and walked along the river. Maybe you can find it along the river. Even if you can't find it, you can get closer, and get closer.

The dense fog has covered the entire mountain forest, and Mu Qing feels very sleepy, as if it is very difficult to maintain the action of opening his eyes, or, after persisting for a few steps, he fell into the stream, and then Drifting with the tide, I don't know how long it took before I woke up.

Mu Qing opened her eyes, but was confused for a few moments, blinked, and could no longer move her eyes away.

Above his head is a huge canopy that can cover the sky and the sun.

Mu Qing stood up, ignoring the wet clothes on her body, looking around, thinking that she had arrived in some place that didn't exist in the world.

It was an incomparably huge tree, with many vermilion branches spreading out, and slender white threads hanging down, like a spider spinning silk, with blood-red brilliance passing through from time to time, like flowing blood vessels.

Mu Qing walked in slowly, he could barely breathe, looked up at the tree, the branches were shaking, it didn't look like it was being blown by the wind, but it seemed to have such a life itself.

And Mu Qing stopped a few steps away, because he saw a person.

He paused, then quickly ran over, shouting in his mouth

"Your Highness!"

The person standing in front was Ji Yi who hadn't seen him for a long time.

Mu Qing's heart was about to jump out, only the whistling wind was left in her ears, and there was only one person in front of her eyes.

When he came in front of Ji Yi, he hooked Ji Yi's neck all of a sudden. Thousands of words were collected in his mouth, and in the end he could only utter two words.

"Your Highness..."

Mu Qing hugged her for a while, but didn't get any response, so she sensed something was wrong.

He lowered his arms, raised his eyes and looked anxiously at the unresponsive person standing in front of him, shook his sleeves slightly, and asked tremblingly

"Your Highness, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me."

However, Ji Yi just stood there, looked down at him, his eyes were calm and unwavering, like watching a gust of wind or a stream of clouds.

"He won't respond to you because he's dead."

A ruthless voice came from behind, and Mu Qing was stunned for a moment. He looked in the direction of the voice, and saw Wadhui walking over step by step, met Mu Qing's gaze, and said

"If you set fire to the mountain, you should know that all the people and plants here will be buried in the flames. Why do you still come in? Is it because you want to die for love?"

Mu Qing completely ignored the latter words, only heard the first half of the sentence, and couldn't help asking

"What do you mean he..."

Wading stopped, looked at Mu Qing, but said

"Do you want to know the secret of this forest?"

Mu Qing said

"I just want to know what happened to Your Highness."

He will not believe that His Highness is dead, who in this world can kill him!

Wading but turned away and said

"Whatever you want to know, come with me."

Mu Qing looked sideways at Ji Yi, who also turned around, but didn't look at Mu Qing, as if he was just a stranger.

Mu Qing stared at him, and suddenly felt boundless grievance and loss. She had never been ignored like this in many years.

They walked under the huge tree canopy, Mu Qing looked at the red leaves all over her head, and murmured

"At the beginning, when we met for the first time, it was also under such a tree full of red flowers."

say again

"At that time, you didn't know who I was, and now, you still don't know who I am, but I have changed."

Mu Qing raised her eyes and looked straight at Ji Yi, quietly stretched out her hand to tug on his sleeve, praying softly

"Your Highness, can you please take care of me?"

Even asking, "Who are you" is better than acting like you don't exist...

Wa Shui glanced at them sideways, but didn't say anything more, just looked at the red leaves floating in the sky, and began to tell a very distant story.
