Chapter 1022 - Chapter 1023 - The Eight Words Corroboration"Mu Jin, we are friends for many years, before, no matter what choice you made, I did not advise you. But today, you have to listen to me, we are leading an army to surround Fu Chen in the third floor from the left and right now, if fifty thousand troops is not enough, then a hundred thousand soldiers, even if we have to flatten that mountain, we have to kill Fu Chen and Yao Yao.
Shang Li"s words were very cruel, but how could he do what he had to do after seeing his good friend for so many years commit suicide?
Regarding Shang Li"s somewhat extreme words, Mu Jin did not display much of an obvious reaction, his expression was only light and bland: "If Wei Yuanwei had changed colors, would you still do such a thing? Furthermore, Wei Yuanwei is still pregnant with my child, so choosing her is not a one or two day affair. All these years of trials and hardships have already pa.s.sed, how could I give up on the mother and daughter pair at this time? "
"Use your own life in exchange for theirs!" Shang Li suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Mu Jin with extreme anger.
The expression in Mu Jin"s eyes turned slightly. "Using one life in exchange for three lives is worth it."
"Back then, the Crown Princess and the Ju"er exchanged your life. Now, use your life to exchange for Wei Yuanwei and the Su"er. As Shang Li listened, his handsome and resolute face was filled with anger that could not hold a candle to him. "Mu Jin, if you don"t listen to me, then just pretend that we never existed. After you died, Wei Yuanwei and Su"er also didn"t have any relationship with me."
With that, Shang Li turned and left angrily, his back looking extremely determined.
Xuan Li wanted to chase after him, but Mu Jin said aloud, "Let him go."
"Master, no matter if it is going up the mountain of blades or down the sea of fire, I will follow you with my life." Xuan Li stood in front of Mu Jin, clasping both of his fists as he lowered his head, looking like he was generous and righteous.
But Mu Jin shook his head: "Your life isn"t mine. You still have your wife and children, I can die, but you can"t die, Meiyu and Rui Er are still waiting for you at the village, you are their everything, if you die, what about them? Wei Yuanwei is different from Su"er. Without me, they can live as well. "
Wei Yuanwei came from the modern world, and had an independent, unswerving personality that most ancient women did not have.
The woman there was an individual, not an appendage.
So even if something really did happen to him, Wei Yuanwei would definitely bring Su"er and the child in her womb and live on with it.
The five days that Fu Chen and the Yao Yao had given him quickly arrived. On the same day, Mu Jin rode into the An Manor on his horse alone, dressed in an embroidered robe with clouds that were as white as snow, with a head of long silver hair and a snow-white horse. When he entered the An Manor, he was like a deity that had descended from the heavens, spotless and untainted.
Fu Chen and Yao Yao had almost not slept for the entire night. They thought that Mu Jin would come here last night, but he had not called them until dawn.
However, when the warm October sun rose, Mu Jin actually rode on a white horse and leisurely arrived.
"Mu Jin, looks like you have made your choice?" Fu Chen who was dressed in demonic red robes walked in front of Mu Jin.
The red and white silhouettes of the two seemed to focus all the gazes in the world on the two of them. Everything around them, including their surroundings, slowly dimmed down.
Both of them possessed stunning looks and held great power. They were of n.o.ble birth and ill.u.s.trious status. They looked down on the world with a domineering aura.
When the two of them walked together, the pressure around them instantly became very low, so low that it was hard to breathe.
The moment their eyes met, it was as if there were countless flashes of swords and sabers. It was as if within a few seconds, the two of them had battled with their eyes for hundreds of rounds.
"My wife and daughter are both in your hands. Do I have any other choice?" Mu Jin was clean, and a smile suddenly appeared on his exceptional face. His tone seemed gentle, but the reality was that his pair of eyes were filled with killing intent.
"Where"s Feng Yin?" Mu Jin looked around.
"If you let go of my wife and daughter, Feng Yin will naturally come." The corner of Mu Jin"s lips raised immeasurably high and his pitch-black eyes shone with a n.o.ble, intimidating and dustless light.
"I can release the Su"er first, and when Feng Yin arrives, I"ll release Wei Yuanwei." The corner of Fu Chen"s mouth split into a grin as he made his concession.
However, Mu Jin firmly refused: "Let go of Wei Yuanwei and Su"er, or else you won"t be able to see Feng Yin."
This time, his seemingly gentle tone revealed a hint of viciousness.
"Mu Jin, you basically don"t have the right to choose right now." Fu Chen said coldly.
Mu Jin laughed sinisterly, he took out a dagger and pierced it into his heart: "If my heart is injured, I wonder if you guys can still use it as a sacrifice."
"Stop." Yao Yao who was in the room saw this and immediately walked out.
"Alright, Mu Jin, we"ll do as you say. But if Feng Yin doesn"t come, I"ll make sure your wife and daughter die an ugly death." Fu Chen said sinisterly.
Mu Jin laughed and retracted the dagger.
"I"ll take you to them." Fu Chen said to Mu Jin who was getting off the horse: "You go in, they come out, what do you think?"
Mu Jin smiled as he looked at Fu Chen: "Give me the key, I"ll go in myself."
The meaning in his words was that he did not want Fu Chen and the others to follow him in.
Yao Yao felt that something was amiss, but Fu Chen agreed.
This secret room only had one exit. Unless Mu Jin dug out a secret pa.s.sage under this room, it was impossible for him to disappear with Wei Yuanwei and the Su"er.
"I"ll only give you a quarter of an hour." Fu Chen handed the key over to Mu Jin.
"Don"t worry, when my wife and daughter safely return to the palace, Feng Yin will definitely come." As Mu Jin spoke, he took a step closer to Fu Chen and lowered his voice, but his tone was filled with anger, "If I do not see Feng Yin, it means that you did not let Wei Yuanwei and my daughter go. At that time, even if I die, you will all die with me.
Even though Mu Jin had said all these with a smile, his calm and pitch-black eyes were filled with a cold intent.
"Wei Yuanwei, your face is getting worse." Cang Chu wanted to check Wei Yuanwei"s pulse, but Wei Yuanwei did not let him touch her at all.
"I"m really fine. It"s the environment here." Wei Yuanwei said to Cang Chu as he hugged Su"er tightly. Even though Cang Chu had already had someone bring the bedding over, Wei Yuanwei"s complexion was still not any better.
He looked a little dispirited, and his spirit was obviously exhausted.
"Wei Yuanwei, are you having a fever?" Li Jiujiu was also a little unable to watch it, but he could do nothing as he was not willing to be touched by them.
Wei Yuanwei shook her head: "I said it"s fine."
Wei Yuanwei took in a deep breath. She was already infected by the cold, and coupled with her poor resistance to pregnancy and the fact that she hadn"t slept soundly these past few days and was locked in this damp place, how could Wei Yuanwei"s body be alright?
"Wei Yuanwei, stop being stubborn." Cang Chu also ignored Wei Yuanwei"s objections, and directly placed his hand on Wei Yuanwei"s forehead. Her forehead was not hot, and when he reached out to feel Wei Yuanwei"s pulse, he was still blocked by Wei Yuanwei.
It was at this moment that the thick and heavy door opened. A white-clothed Mu Jin stood at the doorway, his entire body flawless and completely out of place with everything around his.
"Mu Jin?" Wei Yuanwei looked at Mu Jin, who was standing at the door, with some disbelief.
"Father?" Su"er immediately called out.
Mu Jin frowned slightly, then walked over to the iron cage, used the key to open the locks, and then unlocked the chains on each of their legs.
"Mu Jin, I"m sorry, it"s my fault. I shouldn"t have disobeyed you." Wei Yuanwei looked at Mu Jin as tears silently dripped from the corner of his eyes.
Su"er even opened her arms wide, as she directly jumped into Mu Jin"s embrace. Mu Jin half-knelt down and gently hugged Su"er, but the expression on his face was completely cold and tranquil.
There was no joy or heartache when he saw his daughter and his wife again, only a faint expression on his face.
"You may leave." Mu Jin only gave Su"er a simple hug, and then, he placed him down. And then, he stood up, and the first thing he said to Wei Yuanwei was also only these four words.
Wei Yuanwei looked at Mu Jin in front of him with a slightly strange expression.
But why was Mu Jin being so cold to her, to the point where he couldn"t even see the slightest bit of pa.s.sion in her eyes?
"Mu Jin, what"s wrong?" Wei Yuanwei walked over to Mu Jin.
Both Cang Chu and Li Jiujiu could see that her expression wasn"t good, and he also knew that she was pregnant. Why didn"t he even say anything to be concerned about her?
"Shang Li got someone to help us calculate the difference between the two of us, and that"s when I realized that the two of us are incompatible. You and I are the opposite of each other in terms of attributes." Mu Jin coldly said these words, with an extremely cold and detached expression on his face, as if he had been thinking about it for a long time.
"Mu Jin, what do you mean? Would you believe that? You"re just lying to me. You"re planning to use your life in exchange for ours, aren"t you? "Let me tell you, this trick is useless against me." Wei Yuanwei immediately realized that something was amiss, but he quickly realized that this was most likely just a scheme of Mu Jin"s.
Are there not many scenes like this in the TV series? Only after the last few years did he find out the truth. Now, Mu Jin was planning to use this tactic to force her to leave and then die alone?
Su"er also looked at Mu Jin, "Father, I know I was wrong. Please don"t leave mother and Su"er, okay? Su"er will behave herself in the future. "
Facing Su"er"s gentle voice and pitiful little eyes, no one would not soften their heart. However, Mu Jin merely lowered his head and looked at Su"er, with a face filled with anger, yet his eyes were still filled with determination.
Xuan Li is waiting for you outside. After I finish dealing with this matter, I will go find the two of you. At that time, we will have a good talk. " Mu Jin retracted his gaze and did not explain any further.
