Chapter 2042 Ambition and Desire

At this moment, in the largest inn in Wangchuan City, foreigners who originally came here to do business or visit relatives gathered here. Because of the war, they could not leave for the time being. They were panicking every day. They even listened to the wind and rain, and returned the Anji Gate. The demand for human blood sacrifice was spread as if it were seen with one's own eyes.

"Look at this big black pot in the sky. If it weren't for a cult, it could be so powerful, and it wouldn't even see the sun in this clear sky?" someone whispered.

"People say that if it weren't for this black fog, our Wangchuan City would have been destroyed long ago!" Someone said again.

"So what if you can defend the city with sorcery? Isn't this retribution? All the children are gone!"

"Yesterday, there were people who wanted to sneak out of the city. They were all with children at home, but the city gate was closed and they were not allowed to go out!"

"Is there really a monster harming people?"

…

At a table in the corner of the inn, Bei Muqing pretended to eat the food in front of her, frowning slightly.

Bei Muqing didn't quite believe that Bei Muyehui would really use ordinary people to practice evil arts. After all, there were lessons learned from the past.

Putting some broken silver on the table, Bei Muqing quietly walked out of the back door of the inn, getting rid of the guards and maids who followed her.

After Bei Muqing made sure that no one was following him, he went to the back door of Wangchuan City.

The thick fog at the back gate has lightened a lot, and through the city gate you can see the mountains not far outside the city.

Bei Muqing knew what was going on, and then walked back slowly.

When returning to the government office through the back door, Bei Muqing saw Taoist Shangqing quietly enter the house with four black bags.

Bei Muqing thought of the rumors about using children as sacrifices to practice evil arts, and couldn't help but follow them quietly, and saw Taoist Shangqing actually leading people into the cellar.

Yu Qionghuan had been practicing in the cellar these days. Bei Muqing knew it. She hesitated and turned to leave.

In the middle of the night, Bei Muqing appeared at the door of the cellar again. She waited for a while and wanted to go in to check, but she found that the door of the cellar was opened, and Taoist Shangqing and those few people walked out of it, still carrying the black bag. .

Taoist Master Shangqing gave a few instructions, and the four guards nodded and carried the bags out of the government office.

Bei Muqing quickly followed and followed the four guards to a deserted house.

In the backyard of the house, two guards stood guard. Two guards dug a hole, threw four black bags in it and buried it.

Bei Muqing lay on the roof and did not dare to move until the four guards left the house and left.

After confirming that no one was there, Bei Muqing jumped off the roof, dug out the hole with a shovel, and dug out a black bag.

After hesitating for a moment, Bei Muqing opened the black bag, revealing the pale and stiff body of a child.

Bei Muqing was startled and fell on the ground. Looking at the child's strange body under the cold moonlight, a kind of fear spread from the bottom of her heart.

She didn't expect Bei Muye to actually agree to Yu Qionghuan's ambition to use Northern Qi people to practice evil arts!

The Hua Lixin incident that happened decades ago made the Northern Qi royal family very repulsive to evil spirits. Unfortunately, Bei Muye was still overwhelmed by ambition and desire.

Bei Muqing sat dumbly for a long time, unable to express her feelings.

In fact, she had admired Bei Muye since she was a child and felt that he would definitely be a good monarch, so she had been hesitant about Xue Lingqiao's proposal. Today she went to check the back door. She originally wanted to remind Bei Muye to strengthen patrols at the back door, but she didn't expect...

Bei Muqing stuffed the child into the black bag with trembling hands, buried it back in its place, and then left the house with a heavy heart.
