Meng Qiqi was about to go down the mountain road to the bottom of the cliff to find someone, but was grabbed by the Lin family.
"Miss Meng!" Mrs. Lin grabbed her arm: "It's raining so hard, you must not go down the mountain at this time! No matter what happened to Brother Xiang, now we have to ensure your safety. Let's go back first, and we'll wait until it's bright. Go to the temple and find someone to help you with the search. At this time, just listen to me!"
Meng Qiqi had already been soaked by the rain, and she couldn't help trembling: "But Dingchen is still down there alone..."
"Miss Meng, I want you now!" Lin Gaoshan scolded rarely seriously: "Even if you don't care about yourself, do you still think about Suhe? She is waiting at home alone with a big belly. If we don't return, she will Are you worried about going out in the rain to look for it? Not only did Brother Xiang fail to find it, but Su He also went wrong, what should we do then!?”
Meng Qiqi finally stopped struggling to go down the mountain, and was dragged back to the bamboo building by the Lin family and his wife.
"Take a good bath first. You've been drenched so badly just now, so as not to catch a cold tomorrow." Mrs. Lin pushed open the door of the room for her. Seeing Meng Qiqi's face pale and dazed, she wanted to call Suhe to take care of her together. As a result, Mrs. Lin turned her face to look around the house, but found that Su He was not in the house.
"Strange, where did Suhe go?" Madam Lin looked around the bamboo building and found no one of Suhe. At this time, Meng Eqi was already shocked by what happened to Xiang Dingchen, and she was about to rush out by herself. After looking around, one of the maids Wei Zixi sent to Su He suddenly stood quietly at the door.
Meng Qiqi stopped abruptly, her suspicious eyes swept to the maid: "Aren't you supposed to live in a temple, why are you here?"
Because Su He suggested that he was not used to being served by others, he kept the two maids sent by Wei Zixi in Biyun Temple. It's raining heavily outside, what is this maid doing here
"Miss Meng—" the maid said quietly, "Miss Suhe asked me to come and tell you. She felt scared after you went up the mountain, so she went back to Biyun Temple by herself, and is now waiting for you to pick her up."
Drops of water dripped down Meng Eqi's hair, and her carmine red dress was already dipped in dark red. She had black hair scattered, her face was bloodless, and the two red marks at the end of her eyes were more prominent.
Meng Qiqi suddenly sneered, and at the next moment, something seemed to lift the maid's collar, pulling her high off the ground.
"Suhe was worried that she had proposed to go up the mountain with me. She would be afraid and return to Biyun Temple at this moment? Where is Suhe?" Meng Qiqi's eyes were tightly locked on the maid, and the maid couldn't move. I felt my throat being choked hard.
She struggled to take out a packet of powder from her sleeve, and was about to throw it at Meng Qiqi, but when Meng Qiqi saw it, she suddenly threw her aside. The maid hit the railing and cried out in pain.
Meng Qiqi was about to take another step closer, when suddenly a charming voice came from her ear.
"Meng girl—"
Another maid put the knife on Lin Jingxing's neck and slowly walked out of the room next to her, with a strange smile on her indifferent face. Seeing Meng Eqi's eyes turning slightly, she brought the blade closer to Lin Jingxing's neck: "Miss Meng, I know that you are different from others, so I advise you not to act rashly, otherwise, no matter how fast your consciousness is, it will not be able to stop you. Are these knives in every direction?"
As soon as she finished speaking, countless men in black with cold knives slowly surrounded the bamboo building from the bamboo forest. On the roof of the bamboo building, five or six crossbowmen also aimed at Lin Jingxing.
"Who the hell are you?" Meng Eqi caught a glimpse of this situation out of the corner of her eye, and knew that the people who came were not good. She was worried about the safety of Su He and Manager Lin and his wife, and she didn't know where they were being held.
The maid laughed: "You and I each serve their own masters, so I don't need to be my identity? The regent is so powerful in the capital, and he has the posture of the ninety-five before he ascends the throne. In this way, I must feel wronged and wronged you."
Meng Qiqi's heart froze. Sheng Jiayan's situation in the capital must be tense, but he didn't expect this group of people to be able to catch up to Yangzhou City.
"What's the use of arresting me? Could it be that I, a mere maid, can allow the prince to hand over the throne to the emperor?"
The maid just smiled, looking very sarcastic.
Meng Eqi glanced at the terrified Lin Jingxing, and pursed her lips: "Let them all go, if you want to kill them, you must kill them, and don't involve innocent people. They have nothing to do with the court, you Let them go and I'll never struggle again."
"Miss Meng, your words are easy, I let them go, what can I use to coerce you?" The maid smiled at Meng Qiqi: "After all, there was a person with the ability to approach the gods from the dignified Mengfu spiritual clan. , who doesn't know? I think it's easy for me to let them go. You let our people cover your eyes, and everything will be easy. "
"Sister! Don't worry about me, you go first, wait for Brother Sheng to come back and smash this group of people to pieces!" Lin Jingxing struggled and kicked his legs, and the maid's blade on his neck had already cut out the slightest thread. color.
Meng Eqi hurriedly shouted: "Don't move!" Then she turned to the maid: "Whatever you do with me is up to you, let them go."
Meng Qiqi then threw the saber at his waist and the hidden weapon hidden in his sleeve on the ground.
Seeing this, the maid was very satisfied, and smiled coquettishly: "It's natural, after all, they have nothing to do with this matter, how can we embarrass them." She made a color behind Meng Qiqi, the maid who was injured by Meng Qiqi just now. He got up from the ground, picked up the bag of powder that had fallen by the side, and walked towards Meng Eqi step by step.
Meng Eqi's ears moved slightly, and in the thunderstorm, she heard a slight noise behind her. As soon as she moved, the maid in front of her pressed the knife closer to Lin Jingxing. She had to stay where she was, waiting for the people behind her to approach her. At this time, it was possible for them to stab herself from the vest.
"Sister! Behind the heart!"
Following Lin Jingxing's exclamation, Meng Eqi only felt that her head was covered by white powder.
A little bit of the powder fell into her eyes, causing a scorching heat like a fire.
Meng Eqi covered her eyes with a miserable cry, and the burning sensation became more intense. She was half sitting on the ground, leaning on the railing.
The maid who held Lin Jingxing hostage threw Lin Jingxing to the man in black behind him: "Lock him up with his parents, take a good look at it so that there are no mistakes."
Meng Qiqi heard this sentence with great pain, and said angrily: "If you don't keep your word, you will let them go!"
The maid smiled: "Yes, I promised you. But there are still people who want their family's life, and it's not just about me and you. As for the big belly, I will help you save her Left on the side of the road, whether she lives or dies is entirely up to her, and it's not like she didn't keep my promise."
Meng Qiqi was speechless in pain, she just bit her lip tightly, and a smear of blood dripped from the corner of her lips.
"Lock her in together, watch closely and wait for the master to go up the mountain." The maid gave an order, and a man in black grabbed Meng Qiqi's collar and threw it into the house.
Meng Qiqi was lying on the ground, her whole body was in severe pain.
Vaguely, she heard someone outside asking the maid, "The injury on my sister's shoulder is getting better. After a while, it must have split open again."
The maid muttered a damn, and said: "It's not that you are useless, and the big guy hurt me. His meteor hammer hit me and almost killed me. Fortunately, he was stupid and was deceived by a coat. Go, otherwise we won't be able to drop him off the cliff so easily. Go down the mountain and get me some medicine, it hurts me to death."
"Yes yes yes." The man responded and ran down the bamboo building in a flash.
Hearing this, Meng Qiqi felt resentful anger in her heart, causing her eyes to burn even more. She didn't seem to feel the pain, only felt a fire burning in her heart.
"Sister..." Lin Jingxing climbed to her side and helped her up from the ground. He seemed to look at Meng Eqi for a while, and Lin Jingxing came in a crying voice: "Sister, your eyes are bleeding a lot."
Meng Eqi groped and patted his forehead: "Are your parents in the house?"
Lin Jingxing nodded, sobbing hard: "Besides, they seem to have been knocked unconscious and tied up and haven't woken up yet. Sister, what should we do..."
Meng Qiqi took him in her arms to comfort him: "Don't be afraid, we have a chance to go out."
There was thunder and lightning outside, and heavy rain washed everything in the world.
Sheng Jiayan was dozing off with one hand on his forehead, frowning, and was awakened by a sound of thunder outside the window. He opened a pair of lacquered eyes suddenly, Mo Chunfeng dozed off and opened his eyes when he heard the sound, and saw Sheng Jiayan staring out the window and asked, "My lord, what's wrong?"
"fine-"
At this time, Qin Kun, a close associate of Sheng Jiayan, hurried in from outside.
"My lord, the state of Chu suddenly invaded my frontier, and the border gate has been broken, and it will soon enter the hinterland of my country!"
"It's not good!" Fuquan stumbled and ran: "King Xiang, King Xiang has rebelled!"
…
Meng Eqi fell to the ground in pain, her body was cold, she looked at the sky outside through the window lattice, and she couldn't see the edge with a dark eye.
After some time, she fell asleep in a coma.
In the dream, she returned to a very old time, when her parents were still alive, and she was the apple of Mengfu's palm.
"We Qiqisheng are extremely smart and have good looks. I don't know how many sons who propose marriage will cross the threshold in the future." Her mother held the five-year-old her in her arms and kissed her very lovingly.
Her father held the scroll aside and glared at her: "She's just like this, so you want to marry her." Then he put down the scroll, walked to the mother and daughter and stretched out his hand: "Come here, Qiqi, and give Daddy a hug. Your mother doesn't want you and is in a hurry to marry you out."
He was reprimanded a few times by his mother, but his father didn't care, and rubbed his unshaven face against Meng Qiqi's tender face.
As soon as the dream changed, in front of the ancestral hall of Meng Mansion, her mother blocked her behind her, and in front of her was the questioning faces of the men of Meng Mansion.
"The wizard has long predicted that her eyes will bring disaster to us, and the only solution is to send her eyes back!"
The mother held her tightly in her arms and said with tears in her eyes: "Send it back to gouge out my daughter's eyes! How can you come out with such cruelty, don't you have any daughters?!"
Everyone froze and looked at each other. The only leader of the man still persisted: "If you don't blind her eyes and cause the wrath of the gods to implicate the entire Meng Mansion, then it will not be a matter of your daughter's life."
Meng Eqi shrank in her mother's arms and looked at the group of people in front of her in horror.
Then she saw her father's stalwart back in front of the mother and daughter, and he said with a sullen face: "I was the one who brought her to the world, if I really want to send back a pair of eyes, it must be mine. . As the patriarch of the Meng Mansion and the father of my daughter, I have a duty to do so."
When the leader saw this, he said, "It is admirable for Patriarch Meng to be so responsible, so what are you waiting for, do it!"
Meng Eqi could no longer see what she dreamed about after that. All I know is that when a group of people gathered around to grab her father, Meng Qiqi's eyes were hot, and those people were dragged out as if they were flying.
The mother covered her eyes in horror and cried, "Qiqi, you can't do this."
The dream became more and more blurred, and all that lingered in Meng Eqi's ears were the lowly cry of her mother.
mother...
