The two men in black hurriedly came to the cliff, looked at the surging river, and looked at each other.

Both of them agreed that if one jumped into such a fast river, one would definitely die.

In the past few days, Fang Zhengyi led his men into Yuhang City to meet with King Zhenbei.

Chen Jingting listened to the news coming from the various state capitals below. Recently, it seemed that there were imperial envoys making secret visits to people's livelihood.

He thought about it all night and decided to use Mo Jingchen's disappearance to divert King Zhenbei's attention.

Although Mo Jingchen is the orphan of his best brother, his good brother does not like the child's mother.

At that time, if it hadn't been for that Jianghu woman who used dirty tricks to repay her kindness, I'm sure you wouldn't have brought her back to Beijing, Brother Ziqi.

Presumably, you don't have much affection for this child either.

Otherwise, you will definitely not abandon your young son and take the path of beating a pillar to death.

When Chen Jingting thought of this, he no longer felt guilty:

Brother Ziqi, anyway, you don’t care about this child, why don’t you lend it to me. I thank you. I will burn more incense and paper money for you later~

Chen Jingting originally thought of tying up Mo Jingchen, locking him up for a few days, and letting King Zhenbei find him.

He could move the gold and silver jewelry in the secret room to another place and hide it.

After his grandfather's funeral, let the King of Zhenbei discover Mo Jingchen's body, and then he would grab a few people to cover up the case, and the case would be closed.

There is no reason for King Zhenbei to stay in his house.

Make up the story here yourself and round off the lies.

With his ability to forge and his understanding of the emperor, no matter what King Zhenbei investigates, as long as he can't find the gold and silver as irrefutable evidence, he can get away with it, and there is nothing to be afraid of.

Maybe if everything goes well, Mo Jingchen can survive.

Who would have thought that he had such a fierce temper that he chose to jump into the river without leaving himself any chance of survival ...

What Chen Jingting didn't expect was that the day after he sent out the assassins, eight hundred of the Zhenbei King's soldiers were stationed in his Governor's Mansion!

Or in the name of escorting the coffin of old tutor Chen!

They all look good and strong, and at first glance they are elite soldiers who can fight ten men at a time!

Chen Jingting was shocked:

How could these be the guards of honor escorting my grandfather’s coffin?

This is clearly a thug who came to monitor my every move in the Governor's Mansion, and clearly told me that I can't move the treasure ...

The Prince of Zhenbei had no right to mobilize eight hundred soldiers out of the capital. This was obviously instructed by the Emperor!

The emperor didn't send people to attend my grandfather's funeral, he sent them to send me a death warrant!

Although Chen Jingting understood the situation clearly, he did not dare to act rashly.

If he dares to touch these eight hundred soldiers, it would be tantamount to rebellion!

He knew which was more important, confiscating the property or exterminating the entire clan ...

When the five-day appointment expired and Mo Jingchen did not return, Xiao Ye was terrified.

He led his subordinates and rushed to the Hidden Mist Village under the scorching sun.

On the way, I met a villager from Kirigakure Village who was leaving the village to deliver a message.

He burst into tears:

"Master Mo and his party were killed!"

Xiao Ye's head buzzed, his vision went dark, and he almost fell off his horse.

The villagers cried again:

"However, Master Mo's body has not been found yet ...

It got dark last night, and when we saw that Mr. Mo and the others hadn't come back yet, we organized people to go look for them on the mountain.

In the end, only Mr. Xiao Liu was found.

He was seriously injured, but he is still breathing. Master Mo can't be found ... "

Xiao Ye led a group of people to Wuyin Village as quickly as possible.

Xiao Liuzi was still in a coma and couldn't utter a word.

Xiao Ye held his breath and came to the scene where Mo Jingchen was assassinated. Looking at the bloodstains on the ground, he was so angry that he spat out blood.

He didn't dare to think about what would happen to him now if the bloodstains were from Mo Jingchen ...

Fang Zhengyi carefully inspected the scene for traces.

"Master Jiu, judging from the footprints, Lord Mo escaped. There is no blood along the way, so he should not be injured."

Xiao Ye's severe pain in his heart was relieved a little after hearing this.

"Find someone immediately!"

"Yes, sir!"

Following the traces, we arrived at the edge of the cliff.

No one dared to say anything, and naturally, no one dared to look at King Zhenbei.

Xiao Ye's eyes were red, and he spoke loudly.

“He’s an excellent swimmer!

try to find!

Find it along the river! We must find the person back! "

"Got the order!"

Mo Jingchen weakly opened his eyes, his dark pupils full of alertness:

Where am I?

Have I been caught by those people?

He wanted to get up, but as soon as he moved, the sharp pain in his leg made him frown.

I can't move my right leg ...

Maybe, it's broken.

Mo Jingchen opened the worn quilt and looked at:

Except for the strip of cloth wrapped around my calf, I was actually naked ...

Looking around again, I saw the earth walls and thatched roofs, and I instantly had a concrete understanding of the four walls ...

Mo Jingchen judged that this should be in a remote village somewhere.

He checked the herbs wrapped on his legs, dug out some medicinal residue from the crack, and brought it to his nose to smell:

It is an herbal medicine used to relieve pain and reduce swelling, all of which are symptomatic. In this poor village, the doctor is pretty good.

Suddenly, rustling footsteps were heard outside the door, and Mo Jingchen immediately lay down and covered himself with a quilt.

"Squeak~"

The old wooden door was pushed open, and a girl with two braids came in.

Wearing an exotic embroidered navy blue dress, with a large silver necklace hanging around her neck.

He has wheat-colored skin, a slim and well-proportioned figure, a high nose, bright eyes, and exudes a lively atmosphere of the mountains.

The girl had a smile on her lips, revealing two rows of white teeth, and said hello carelessly:

"Hey, man, are you awake? My name is Hua Ying'er, what's your name?"

Seeing the woman's bold demeanor, Mo Jingchen felt that she was dangerous for no reason.

With the defense value in my heart reaching its peak, I silently pulled up the quilt, and then started talking nonsense.

"My surname is Xiao, and my name is Xiao Jiulang. I would like to thank the girl for saving my life.

Excuse me, where is this? "

Hua Ying'er's eyes curved into crescents, with a spring breeze on her face, she said with a smile,

"This is Netherworld Valley~"

Netherworld Valley?

When I hear this name, it sounds like the person who came here is evil ...

Xiao Ye had a bad feeling in his heart and was also very puzzled.

Looking at her dress, she looks a bit like a Miao girl.

Could it be that I was washed away by the water to the Miao border?

It's impossible. The rivers in Jiangnan do not flow to Miao territory ...

"Netherworld Valley? Which county does it belong to?"

Hua Ying'er's big eyes flashed, her face was confused, and she pouted,

"Powerful rat? What does it mean? A rat with great strength?"

County? What does it mean again? "

Mo Jingchen's heart suddenly turned cold. He knew that whatever he said would be false.

Let’s ask her what she knows!

"Where are my clothes?"

Hua Ying'er looked puzzled:

"What else should I wear to bed?"

Mo Jingchen thought that sleeping naked might be their custom here, so he explained,

"I'm used to sleeping with my clothes on. Please give me my clothes."
