I traveled through time with my best friend.

Chapter 173 Mo Cang died to save Hong Ying.

When Jiang Xue saw Li Lingxuan was about to leave and was about to stand up, Li Lingxuan suddenly stopped her and said, "Don't move!"

Jiang Xue stopped putting her hands on the table and looked at Li Lingxuan in confusion, while Li Lingxuan was staring at the bug intently at this time.

Pei Zhijin also saw the bug at this time, his eyes became nervous, and he whispered to Jiang Xue: "Don't move."

Jiang Xue didn't dare to move. The bug was on Li Lingxuan's side. Pei Zhijin didn't dare to stand up, for fear of disturbing the bug, which would fly up and drill into human skin, which would be bad.

Li Lingxuan gently raised his hand towards the insect, gathered his internal strength in his palm, and stared at the insect intently.

When he was about to get close to the insect, it suddenly moved and then flew up. Li Lingxuan immediately blew the fan over it, and the insect fell to the ground, motionless.

Jiang Xue looked down and saw a pink insect, which was the flower Gu. Her expression changed slightly.

Li Lingxuan also had a serious look on his face. He left Baoyue Tower without saying anything.

After Pei Zhijin sent Jiang Xue back home, he prepared to go to the Northern Pacification Office. Unexpectedly, he was stopped by people from Prince Cheng's Mansion as soon as he turned the corner.

Pei Zhijin looked at the person in front of him with a cold expression and said, "What does King Cheng want to do?"

The visitor had a serious face and replied, "My prince would like to invite Lord Pei to his residence for a chat."

"King Cheng and I have nothing to talk about." Pei Zhijin said coldly and prepared to leave.

The visitor said quickly, "The Chili Kingdom has been targeted by the Mobei Kingdom, and the Queen Mother is reluctant to give up the power in her hands. My prince said that he can help you."

Pei Zhijin frowned and looked at the man and said, "What is King Cheng thinking? Do you want me to tell you openly?"

The man chuckled and said, "At least the prince won't cause as much trouble as the queen mother did under such circumstances."

"In my opinion, King Cheng is no different from the Queen Mother."

"Is Master Pei a little narrow-minded, or... Master Pei doesn't dare to meet my prince?"

"Provocation doesn't work on me." Pei Zhijin pointed out directly.

The man looked embarrassed. Seeing that Pei Zhijin was not moved, he had to ask again: "Master Pei, don't you want to solve the flower Gu matter as soon as possible?"

Pei Zhijin's expression changed slightly as he looked at the man, who continued, "Your Highness has no other intentions, he just wants to cooperate with you. After all, Mobei Country is the problem we need to solve together, isn't it?"

Pei Zhijin lightly grasped the hilt of the sword at his waist, thought for a moment, looked at the man and said, "Let's go."

"Please come in, sir." The man immediately stepped aside and made a gesture of invitation.

Flower Lane Street.

At this time, the sky had completely darkened. Lin Yiyi was standing on the street with a sword in her hand. Blood was dripping from the tip of the sword. Mo Cang was half-crouching in front of Lin Yiyi, covering his chest. Hong Ying was lying on the ground behind Mo Cang in a mess. The once proud and arrogant look in her eyes was now filled with disbelief.

Lin Yiyi looked down at Hongying with a cold look in her eyes, the sword in her hand glowing an eerie silver light in the moonlight.

"Forty-nine cold needles and the pain of broken tendons, you will experience it all today."

As he said that, he raised the sword in his hand and was about to swing towards Hongying. Mo Cang's eyes changed and he stood up and stood in front of Hongying.

The sword slashed across Mo Cang's fair face, leaving a bloody wound immediately.

Lin Yiyi looked at Mo Cang coldly and said, "Do you like her?"

Mo Cang suddenly raised his head and looked at Lin Yiyi, asking her with his eyes how she knew that.

Lin Yiyi sneered and said, "Huh, you like her so much, does she know?"

Hongying looked at Mo Cang standing in front of her from behind and hesitated for a moment. Looking at Mo Cang standing tall in front of her, she felt that she must have heard it wrong just now. Mo Cang did this just to show his loyalty to his master and it was impossible for him to like her.

Mo Cang spoke in a hoarse voice: "She is my master, and it is my duty to protect her."

"Hmph, you are really infatuated." Lin Yiyi said coldly. Thinking of the bowl of clear water in the dark cell before, she felt sympathy for Mo Cang. The moonlight shone on Lin Yiyi's still cold face, so cold that people thought she would not smile.

"I'll give you a choice, die... or leave?"

Mo Cang looked at Hongying behind him, and the emotions in his eyes were revealed in the moonlight.

Hongying looked at Mo Cang's different eyes, opened her lips slightly, not knowing what to say.

Mo Cang spoke slowly, "Master, I won't leave."

Hongying's heart skipped a beat for some reason, and she felt sad. Then she said in a hoarse voice, "Go away. From now on, I don't need you anymore."

Mo Cang frowned slightly, "You want to drive me away?"

Hongying didn't dare to look at Mo Cang's eyes. She turned her head away with tears in her eyes, "I don't need you now. You should think about how to stay alive."

Mu Feng supported Wang Ziyan and watched the scene in front of him. There was no emotion in his eyes. He just said to Lin Yiyi: "Sister Yiyi, let's fight quickly and make a quick decision."

Lin Yiyi originally wanted to let Mo Cang go, but looking at Mo Cang's attitude, she was afraid that he would protect Hongying even at his death.

Suddenly he asked, "Have you thought about it?"

Seeing Hongying turning her head away and refusing to look at him, Mo Cang turned his head around, looked at Lin Yiyi and said, "I won't leave."

"Then you should stay with her." As he said that, he slashed a sword towards Mo Cang's ankle.

With a thud, Mo Cang knelt down. Hong Ying's eyes trembled slightly. She turned to look at Mo Cang. Lin Yiyi had already swung the second sword.

"No!" Hongying shouted anxiously.

However, it was no use. Mo Cang's hands dropped down and blood dripped from his sleeves.

Hongying endured the pain and crawled towards Mo Cang. Her bloody hands touched Mo Cang's wrist. Mo Cang looked at Hongying with a smile on his face and said softly, "Master, don't worry. The prince will be here soon."

Hongying was stunned. It turned out that Mo Cang was stalling for time. Then she felt guilty and shook her head, saying, "You shouldn't do this, you shouldn't do this..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Feng appeared next to Lin Yiyi at some point, and directly snatched the sword from Lin Yiyi's hand and stabbed it into Mo Cang's chest.

"Ugh!" Mo Cang spat out a mouthful of blood.

Hongying held Mo Cang's face in her panic hands, not understanding why Mo Cang was vomiting blood. It was not until she saw the sword on Mo Cang's chest that she reacted, and tears immediately rolled down her eyes.

Lin Yiyi finally reacted and looked at Mu Feng and asked, "What are you doing?"

Mu Feng said coldly: "The young lady said that Hongying must die."

"Then why did you kill him?"

Mu Feng looked at Lin Yiyi and said, "To cut the grass, you must remove the roots."

Lin Yiyi was speechless. Mu Feng was right. To cut the grass, one must remove it at the root, otherwise there will be endless troubles.

Mo Cang looked at Hongying with his dying breath, recalling in his mind the first time he saw Hongying. She was wearing a fluttering red dress, with a bright smile, and the sunlight shining on her face, making her look very clean.

In the end, he could only use all his strength to say two words, "Protect..." and then he died.

"Mo Cang!" Hong Ying roared in a low voice, lowering her head to rest on Mo Cang's chest.
