she won't live to twenty

Chapter 70 Who Is The Oriole

Even though Wuming was so weak, the old man still had no intention of stepping forward to search his body, and the boy behind him shrank obviously, and hid back.

The old man cleared his throat, and said sharply: "Let the little girl next to you throw out the weapon. She was only hit by the ecstasy incense. After all, she has the strength to throw a weapon."

Nanyue hugged Wuming instinctively.

Wuming gave her an affirmative look, and silently said with her mouth: Throw it away, it's okay.

Only then did Nanyue tremblingly touch her waist, and feebly unfastened the buckle. Two scimitars fell to the ground, followed by a dagger.Nanyue threw them out, and the servant immediately picked up the weapon and hugged it in front of him.

The old man sternly said: "There is more!"

Wuming nodded weakly to Nanyue, so the last dagger was also thrown out.

"Then, Your Highness, we will see you some other day." The old man turned around with a smile, and led the young man out of the secret passage.

The black cloth was put down, and the stone chamber returned to darkness again.I don't know how long it took, someone brought a bowl of water and put it outside the fence.Nanyue immediately brought in the water bowl and handed it to Wuming.

Wuming sniffed lightly to confirm that there was no poison in the water before taking a small sip.Wuming tilted his head slightly, exhaled weakly, and said with a smile: "I have no strength, you feed me."

"How... how to feed?" Nanyue's hand holding the bowl trembled slightly.

Wuming obviously didn't have any strength at all, but there was a smirk in his eyes, and his eyes were focused on Nanyue's lips: "Little Nanyue, what do you think?"

I don't know whether Wuming's frivolous look made Nanyue more nervous, or successfully relieved Nanyue's nervousness.She bit her lip and looked at Wuming's chapped lips, then at the bowl of water in her hand, finally took a deep breath, lowered her head to drink the water, and then slowly poured it into Wuming's mouth.

After several times, Wuming seemed to regain some strength because of the moisture of the water, and when Nanyue wanted to withdraw, he gently held her hand.

"Don't move." Wuming said in an airy voice.

Nanyue was stunned, before she could react, her palate was pressed against by the soft tip of her tongue, and her mouth was filled with the familiar cold breath.An itch hit her heart, but when she thought of the surrounding environment, she instinctively wanted to escape, and her small body trembled slightly.

This is the secret path of the Six Eyes Sect. They are locked in a dark secret room, and there are guards guarding at the other end of the black cloth...how can it be here.

But Wuming held her hand weakly all the time, even in the scorching summer, Wuming's fingers were a little cold, and the touch was particularly clear.

Now Wuming looks so weak.

When the word "weak" flashed across Nanyue's mind, her mind went blank for a moment, and her body trembling also stopped.

yes, weak...

When Wuming was poisoned and couldn't move, and even looked weaker than her, what right did she have to be afraid?He clearly said that he should believe in Wuming and protect Wuming, so he should take good care of Wuming at this time.

The fear in my heart dissipated temporarily, leaving only an itch.

The hand that was not held by Wuming instinctively reached behind Wuming, hugged her gently, and patted her back as if to comfort her.Then go up, gently dragging the back of Wuming's head, and gently stroking the hair with his fingers.

After a simple kiss, Wuming let out a long breath, and leaned to the side as if he was exhausted.Nan Yue immediately hugged her and let her rest on her lap.

Nanyue gently helped her comb the ends of her hair.

Wuming closed his eyes, sniffed the soft scent in front of his nose, thinking that he was really bad enough...

There is no sunlight in the stone room, and it is impossible to tell how much time has passed. The people of the Six Eyes Sect only prepare a bowl of water every day, but never prepare food.The two relied on the dry food they brought to fill their stomachs, and judged the time based on the number of times the leader came. Wuming estimated based on the consumption of food. Every fixed period of time, which should be about a day, the old man would bring the young man with him. Enter the stone room, observe their state, and chat with them a few words.

It's a chat, but it's actually a unilateral mockery, mocking her status as a princess of a foreign race, mocking her isolated and helpless situation, mocking her ignorance of the heights of the heavens and the depths of the earth, and being captured underestimating the enemy.Every time, there is a pale smile on Wuming's face, which looks like a sneer, but also reveals a sense of helplessness.

Every time, Nanyue held Wuming's hand tightly, quietly protecting her behind her, and standing in front of herself, with an extremely resolute expression, but she couldn't hide the fear in her eyes.

It is true that Nanyue believes in Wuming and wants to protect Wuming, but the fear that spreads in her heart from time to time is also real.It seems contradictory, but it is not contradictory.

Time passed extremely slowly in the dungeon, three days seemed to have passed three years, and the dry food they brought was finally finished.However, the Six Eyes Sect still didn't intend to send food, and Tang Chiyu and Si Lian, who were supposed to come back today, still didn't move at all.

There was always a shallow smile on Wuming's face, comforting Nanyue from time to time.

"It's okay, Xiaoqi and the others will be here today." Wuming said with a soft smile.As soon as the words finished, a slight "cuckoo" sound came from the lower abdomen. The voice was very low, and it was definitely not audible outside, but it was very clear in the small and quiet stone room.

Nanyue held her in her arms with her small body, her eyes were flushed.

It had been an unknown time since they had finished their dry food, and they finally felt really hungry.Nanyue has been following Wuming's guidance for the past few days, using her internal force to excrete Mihunxiang from her body. Although she is not poisoned, she is not sure how long she can last if there is no food.

After that, whether they will live or die, whether they will be saved, and what they will encounter are all unknown.

Locked in a dark and narrow dungeon; the nameless person next to him was poisoned and lost his strength; he had to keep his voice down, otherwise he might be heard by the guards outside; he ran out of food bit by bit, until now he was starting to feel hungry... in the stone room Every moment of life is painful.

Many things flashed through Nanyue's chaotic mind, from the first encounter among wolves when she was a child, to the separation, to the reunion ten years later.

Nan Yue thought that she had grown a lot and became stronger, but no, she still felt flustered.

From the beginning to the end, Nanyue believed in the nameless.

She believes that in the end, it will be as Wuming said, and they will be fine.But although the result is certain, what about the process?What's next?Nanyue's fear stems more from her fear of the unknown and the oppressive force brought about by the narrow and dark stone room.

This kind of fear cannot be suppressed at all, because as long as you are in the stone room, it is everywhere.

But at the same time of fear, Nanyue forced herself to protect Wuming and take care of Wuming.Use all your strength until the last moment you can't move.

"Wu Ming..." Nan Yue clenched Wu Ming's fingers tightly, interlocking her ten fingers, and her eyes gradually became serious.

Nanyue remembered that she and Wuming had made an agreement that they would walk hand in hand together until their twilight years, and tell each other their little secrets.Then... the things I kept from Wuming... my identity...

Now is the time to tell Nameless.

In this stone room where they don't know what will happen next, in this narrow stone room that constantly brings them pressure, she should not hide from Wuming no matter what.

"Huh?" The corners of Wuming's lips curled up slightly, and his fingers weakly slid across the corners of Nanyue's eyes.

"Wu Ming... elder sister." Nanyue's eyes, which were touched by Wu Ming, became more and more red, and tears welled up in her eyes, "I..."

"Why are you called sister again?" Wuming interrupted her and asked softly, "Didn't you say you would trust me?"

"I believe you... I believe my sister, but I'm still afraid..." Nanyue choked up, "So sister, I have one thing to tell you. One... I have been keeping it from you since we met thing."

Wuming was startled, and a strong sense of guilt surged in his heart.

Nanyue's eyes were extremely clear, and the black eyes covered by water mist were serious and gentle. It wasn't like she was afraid of death as she said, but was afraid of something else.Wuming keenly felt that Nanyue wanted to take advantage of the terrifying oppression brought by the dark dungeon to express a thought buried in her heart that she dared not meet the sun.

Nanyue was very resistant to what she was going to say next, so she said it now.

What could it be?

Was it the day before leaving Beijing, Nanyue smiled and said that she also had something to hide from her?

Wuming wanted to quickly stop Nanyue's voice, so that the little girl would not regret it afterwards if she said something terrible in a state of confusion.

Wuming is not ruthless, but once emotional, it is extremely deep, close to paranoia.

In other words, she is a very possessive person, and of course she hopes that Nan Yue will not hide anything from herself and tell her everything about her.

But Wuming also hopes that when Nanyue explained everything to her, she came to the conclusion after serious thinking, not because she was locked up in the dark dungeon for three days, her brain was extremely confused, and she did not think carefully. reached a conclusion.

What's more...it was her fault that Xiao Nanyue was forced to be so scared.

However, at this moment, there was a slight sound in the secret passage.

Nanyue didn't hear it, but Wuming could hear it clearly.

someone is coming.

If I heard correctly, it should be the leader of the Six Eyes Sect who came to see them every day, an old man, and a young man who followed him.They stopped in front of the black cloth, as if they were listening to the movement in the stone room.The black cloth was several meters away from the stone room, and Nanyue's voice was very weak. They probably didn't hear the specific content, but they must have heard her crying voice.

The little girl was full of fear, trembling crying, no one could not feel soft-hearted for a moment after hearing it.

Wuming was convinced that they had already taken the bait, and everything was going according to her expectations, except for what Nanyue was going to say next...

Wuming raised his finger to press Nanyue's lips a moment late, and Nanyue had already said the next thing.

"Sister...I'm Little Moon." Nanyue hugged her waist tightly and buried her face in her arms. Although her voice was weak, it was extremely clear.

Wuming listened to each word without falling into his ears.

Nanyue is... the little moon?

For a moment, there was only a blank in Wuming's mind, and then countless pictures and thoughts surged in it, like colorful fireworks.Huge surprise and confusion mixed together, making her temporarily lose the ability to think.

Even uncontrollably, his expression lost control for a moment.

At this time, there was a sound of panicked footsteps outside the black cloth, and someone fled into the secret passage staggeringly: "My lord! It's not good! Those Weibei soldiers...they found the secret passage! Hurry, run away... ..."

Wuming suddenly came back to her senses, she didn't care about it, she lowered her head and whispered something in Nanyue's ear.

Nanyue nodded in a daze, and slowly slipped a hand from Wuming's back.Wuming grabbed her hand, gently pried open the gaps between his fingers, and intertwined with hers tenderly.

The black cloth was lifted at this time, and the old man and the young man walked in quickly. Today, both of them were wearing large black cloaks, and they jingled lightly when they walked. prepared to flee.The guards outside the secret passage did not come in. They should be exploring the way ahead, so as not to encounter the Weibei Army on the way to escape.

Nanyue flinched and threw herself into Wuming's arms again, hugging her tightly.Wuming also tilted his head and smiled weakly at them.

The boy threw an iron shackle into the fence, and the old man raised his head and said, "Little girl, help her put it on, and then help her stand up."

Nanyue's hands trembled several times, but under the stern urging of the old man, she finally locked the iron shackles on Wuming's wrist, and helped her stand up.At this time, the weight of Wuming's whole body was almost on Nanyue's body, causing both of them to stand unsteadily, and Nanyue's face became paler because of her weakness.

The young servant who was following the old man came forward and quickly opened the iron fence, trying to grab Wuming with his hand.

The boy was only 27 or [-], with long jet black hair casually tied behind him, his eyes were big, and his face looked very delicate from a distance, but when he got closer, he could clearly see the evil spirit in his eyes.

The moment the servant roughly grasped Wuming's arm with his fingers, Wuming suddenly raised his head and evoked an extremely coquettish smile.

The boy was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly realized something.

But it's too late.

The majestic internal force swung out from Wuming's body, throwing him hard against the wall.

"Cough—" He spat out a mouthful of blood, raised his eyes and stared at Wuming.

Wuming, who was so weak a moment ago that he couldn't stand still, had jumped to the side of the old man and strangled him to death with the shackles on his hands, without even making a sound.

Two short arrows pierced through the air at some unknown time, piercing the boy's shoulder, almost nailing him to the wall.Huge pain hit from the shoulder blade, he finally reacted, turned his head to look at Nanyue, his eyes were full of disbelief.A few days ago, he tried countless times, this little girl's internal strength is only seven or eight grades, she is just a vase that follows Wuming, she, how could she! ?

And being locked in the stone room for nearly four days, she should have collapsed a long time ago... Her cry earlier could never be faked!

But at this moment, Nanyue just stood there, tilting her head and looking at him, the tears in the corners of her eyes hadn't dried up, but her eyes were extremely clear, without a trace of fear.

The boy was completely aware that he had been cheated from beginning to end.

He thought that the layout was exquisite and played with the two of them in the palm of his hand, but he didn't expect that he was the prey in the game.

Wuming killed the old man, threw away the shackles casually, first turned around and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Nanyue's eyes, and then took her hand and walked in front of the servant.

Wuming chuckled and knelt down: "My lord, you lost."

Hearing the word "Master", the boy's pupils dilated uncontrollably, his expression almost ferocious.

Wuming stretched out his hand to untie the servant... No, it should be said that it was the cloak of the leader of the Six Eyes Cult. He lowered his head and frantically wanted to bite her finger, but Wuming slapped her backhand when he missed it.

The ring finger didn't touch his face, and the palm wind brought out by the internal force had already left a scar on his cheek, and he spit out another mouthful of blood, with broken teeth mixed in the blood.

The cloak slipped to the ground, revealing the dagger, scimitar and dagger hanging at the waist, Wuming untied the sword in distaste, hung it back on his body, and said with a light smile: "My lord, are you thinking that I am How did I recognize you?"

The Six-eyed leader did not answer, but his eyes were almost bloodshot.

"I admit that you are indeed very cautious, otherwise I wouldn't delay until now. When the Six Eyes Sect was first discovered by us, you didn't show your face the whole time. Instead, you first pushed the county magistrate out, and then decisively let the subordinates You killed the county magistrate and sent hundreds of men to die, which shows how cautious you are. After you caught us, you were afraid that I would pretend to be poisoned, so you didn't dare to search us, and you didn't dare to torture us. Lock us in a dungeon without light. In order to wear down our spirits, you don't even dare to give us food, and you even come to sneer and ridicule on time every day. Master Six Eyes, you are really cautious... No, it's because you are timid and afraid die."

Wuming narrowed his eyes slightly, and as he spoke, he pulled out his short sword and continued to grope on the Six-Eyed Sect Master with the blade: "I also observed for three days before I was sure that you are the real Six-Eyed Sect Master, that old man is just a stand-in That's all."

The six-eyed leader and the old man's acting skills are indeed good, but the emotions in their eyes cannot be deceived.During the few times he came to visit, the leader seemed afraid of being unknown, but his eyes were always cold, more cautious than fearful.As for that old man, he repeatedly used anger to cover up his fear, and Wuming had already noticed it.A majestic Six-Eyed Leader who controls the lives of thousands of people in his hands, would be afraid of a prisoner?

For such a ruthless and calculating person, he would be afraid of death and be vigilant, but he would not show fear towards her like other congregants who witnessed the unknown murder.

Wuming was still suspicious at first, could it be that neither the old man nor the young man is the leader?It wasn't until the two of them walked outside the curtain and eavesdropped on Wuming and Nanyue's conversation that she fully confirmed it.

Because the Six-eyed leader was too cautious in front of her, and it was this kind of caution that made her catch him.

First of all, he didn't show up in front of her at first, and after catching her again, he had to come to confirm her situation in person before he could rest assured.Similarly, he was worried about letting others escort Wuming, so after the Weibei army came in, he came down again to check Wuming's situation.But he was still worried about Wuming, so he let the old man act as a substitute, and he could escape at any time if there was a problem.

"No matter how timid I am, I was still deceived by you." The Six-eyed leader gritted his teeth and said, "You really haven't been poisoned."

"Of course, because I took the antidote in advance. In fact, I was a little worried that the poison you used would be very powerful and cause me trouble. I didn't expect that any antidote that I took casually would be able to detoxify. You are really useless What?" Wuming tilted his head and chuckled lightly, his eyes were sly and very aggressive.

Nanyue's internal energy is not high, and internal energy alone cannot expel toxins from her body.She was not affected by the ecstasy incense because she took the antidote in advance.

Wuming was so angry that the leader of Six Eyes almost spat out another mouthful of blood.

The Six-eyed leader took a few breaths, then stared at Nanyue who was beside him bitterly.From the very beginning, he was worried that Wuming would really be poisoned, so what he had been observing for the past few days was not Wuming, but Nanyue.

The emotions shown by innocent and pure little girls are often real.

But he didn't expect that Nanyue would also fool him.

The Six-eyed leader glared at Nanyue, and was immediately slapped hard by Wuming, both sides of his face flushed evenly.

Wuming then smiled and said, "My lord, you said that the mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind, and you thought you were an oriole, but you...was wrong at the beginning."

From the moment when the four of them sat around the fire on the full moon night when they left Yanbei City and began to formulate an action plan, Wuming speculated that they could manipulate hundreds, or even thousands of congregants, and play Yanbei City into applause. Among them, the six-eyed leader who killed the county magistrate without hesitation but never appeared was by no means an ordinary person.

Would he believe such a thing as falling off a cliff and dying?

how is this possible.

That's about as good as fooling those stupid congregants.

The Six-Eyed Leader must have guessed that they were still alive, and made certain preparations... For example, is it too tempting to capture Princess Chaozhong alive?

So from the moment he fell off the cliff, the real plan began.

But at that time, Wuming was not completely sure.

Wuming was a little worried that the leader would not take the bait, but after seeing the map of mountains and rivers, she was sure of one thing—his ambitions are really great.He really wanted to catch them, and he also really wanted to rely on the Six Eyes Teaching in the dark to devour Daqin's country.His strategy and forbearance are not bad, but it's a pity... his vision is too small.

He only knew that King Qin was selfish, but he didn't know the current situation in the court, and he didn't inquire about the news from the capital.He didn't know the name of Princess Changning, and he didn't expect that she would be a first-rank master—in his opinion, there are only a handful of first-rank masters in the Jianghu. How can a royal princess have such high martial arts?If he had investigated Wuming and Tang Chiyu's identities and their relationship, he wouldn't be so underestimating the enemy.

The Six-Eyed Leader thought that Wuming was a mantis and he was a oriole.

But Wuming is both a cicada and an oriole.

From the moment he entered the enemy camp and was captured in the stone chamber, the initiative was in Wuming's hands.

Another important reason why the Six-Eyed Leader took the bait was that the fear Nan Yue showed was real.

The leader of Six Eyes was too cautious, Wuming knew that he might not be able to deceive him.It is very possible that after sneaking into the stone chamber with great difficulty, it took a few days to confirm who the real Six-Eyed Leader is. Tang Chiyu also led troops into Yanbei City. As a result, the Six-Eyed Leader was afraid that Wuming was pretending to be poisoned, so he did not dare to come in person Take Wuming away and sneak away by himself.

But Nanyue is different from Wuming, she is pure and innocent, does not know martial arts, has no murderous intent, and is as clean as a piece of white paper.

So... only Nanyue's real fear would convince the Six-Eyed Leader.

But Wuming didn't hide it from Nanyue. Rather, it was Nanyue who conspired with her in the cave to do all this at the beginning.

Nanyue knew from the very beginning that they would be caught, and Wuming would pretend to be unable to resist until she confirmed who the Six-Eyed Leader was, and then caught him.But after Nanyue was imprisoned in the stone room, the fear she showed was still extremely real - because they only discussed the result, but did not discuss the specific process in the middle.
