Chapter 164: The Mystery of Jade Pendant

Chamuhe had already had a murderous intention. At this time, after hearing Yelu Ruan's words, he took the sword of a warrior Dangxiang beside him, drove him to Cui Xin, showed a sinister smile, and said, "Little girl, your brother Bai broke my three fingers, and I will repay your life today."

Cui Xin took a light breath and said frankly: "If you think killing me can make your fingers grow again, then do it." After that, she raised her head, bit her lips, closed her eyes, and quietly waited for death.

Chamuhe had already raised his big sword, and when the knife was about to rise and fall, he could lift Cuixin's head and go to Yelu Ruan to seek credit. But after hearing Cuixin's words, he became entangled in his heart and thought: "This little girl has some reason. Since that's the case, should I kill her?"

Chamuhe was reluctant to take action, Yelu Ruan was impatient and urged: "Muhe, why are you still hesitating?" Chamuhe came back to his senses, shouted, and made up his mind to slash Cuixin's neck.

Cui Xin heard Cha Muhe's voice and knew that she would die today. A flash of inspiration flashed in her mind and silently said in her heart: "Dad, mom, it's been more than ten years, Xin'er can finally come to accompany you."

Chamuhe's big sword had reached Cuixin's neck. Suddenly, he saw the jade pendant on her neck. He quickly stopped his hand, put the knife aside, and reached out to grab Cuixin's jade pendant. Cuixin resisted vigorously, but still couldn't resist it. Chamuhe held the jade pendant and asked loudly: "Little girl, tell me the truth, how did you get this jade pendant?"

Cuixin looked at the jade pendant and felt sad, and tears kept flowing out. She seemed to have returned to the scene when she was young, escaping from the fire in the Luoyang Palace.

When Cui Xin and his family were trapped in the Luoyang Palace, they were about to be swallowed by the fire. The father ignored his mother's safety and picked her up and rushed out of the palace gate. When he arrived at a safe place, his father said to her: "Xin'er, you must live well, your brother is still waiting for you in the north."

Cuixin was only five years old that year and didn't quite understand her father's words. She just said, "Dad, go and save your mother." After hearing this, his father burst into tears and kissed her gently on the forehead. He turned around and rushed back to the fire.

Cui Xin waited at the gate of the palace for a long time, and when she saw the fire getting stronger and stronger, she was so scared that she cried loudly. She begged the passers-by who were running around and asked them to save their parents. Those passers-by heard that the Khitan army had entered Luoyang, and at this time they only care about their own escape. How could they care about the life and death of irrelevant people?

Cuixin was extremely anxious and plucked up the courage to rush into the fire to find her parents. As soon as she arrived at the palace gate, she was snatched by the thick smoke from the fire and she burst into tears. She remembered what her father said and sat alone outside the palace gate and she burst into tears.

The fire burned wildly for a day and night, and Cuixin also suffered for a day and a night. When the fire stopped, the palace had turned into ashes. At this time, a Khitan guard came over and saw Cuixin squatting on the ground sob, sobbing at her with a whip.

Cuixin was whipped and stood up quickly. The guard laughed and cursed randomly in Khitan dialect. Cuixin couldn't understand his words, but when she saw his majestic face, she was so scared that she burst into tears.

The guard was stunned for a moment, pulled out his knife, and stabbed Cui Xin. Cui Xin didn't know how to avoid it, and his life was in danger. Just then, an old man in his fifties came over. When he saw the guard's behavior, he immediately stepped forward to protect Cui Xin.

When the guard saw this person, his feet were trembling. He quickly threw away the sword in his hand, knelt down and said, "I don't know if the Grand Master has arrived. I have missed the opportunity to welcome him. I hope the Grand Master will atone for his sins!"

The old man was Ji Bayou, the teacher of Khitan Emperor Yelu Deguang. Ji Bayou ignored the guard, picked up Cuixin, and asked kindly: "Little girl, why did you come here alone? Where are your parents?"

Cui Xin opened her eyes wide, staring at Ji Poyou, and said sadly: "Old uncle, my parents are dead."

Ji Poyou was stunned after hearing this, holding Cui Xin's hand and said, "Little girl, do you have any relatives? Luoyang has been very chaotic recently. You can't come out and run around. If you are not careful, you will be bullied by bad people."

After Ji Poyou finished speaking, he glanced at the guard, then put Cuixin down, attached himself to her ear and whispered: "Leave the palace quickly, this is not the place for you to stay." He then shouted to the guard: "Hu Guard, get up! If you kill innocent people indiscriminately in the future, you will definitely be spared."

The guard was named Hu, with his courtesy name Pingqiu, and was a Khitan guard. After hearing Ji Bayou's words, he quickly apologized and said, "Tai Shi, I will never dare again."

Although Cui Xin was young, she could distinguish between good and evil, and said, "Old uncle, I will listen to you, let's go now." After that, she looked at the ruins reluctantly and walked silently towards the Bian River.

Cuixin didn't eat for a day and night, and she felt hungry at this time. She walked to the entrance of a high-rise building and suddenly became dizzy, exerted force on her feet, and fainted.

When Cuixin woke up, she found herself lying on the white bed, with a girl about ten years old smiling at her in front of the bed. Cuixin was shocked, and quickly sat up and hid at the head of the bed.

The girl's name was Zhai Jingyue, who was the goddaughter of the boss's wife of the Bieqinglou. Seeing this, she hurriedly turned around and told her godmother. A middle-aged woman heard Zhai Jingyue's words and walked up quickly and said kindly: "Little sister, don't be afraid, we are not bad people."

The middle-aged woman opened her hands and exposed a jade pendant. Cui Xin immediately reached out and grabbed the jade pendant and held it tightly in her hand. The middle-aged woman said, "This jade pendant was picked up from you, it seems to be very important to you."

Cui Xin nodded and said, "This is what my parents left for me."

After hearing this, the middle-aged woman said, "This jade pendant is not owned by ordinary people. Little girl, you must be the daughter of princes and nobles, right? Alas, it is not easy to be princes and nobles these days. Now the army of Jin and Khitans are chasing the nobles of the previous dynasty everywhere, so you should stay in the building of the love, it is safer here."

Cui Xin heard the middle-aged woman's words and remembered that she almost died of Khitan's sword that day, so she nodded and agreed.

Zhai Jingyue clapped her hands and said, "It's great, someone will play with me in the future." The middle-aged woman glared at her and said, "Yue'er, you are not allowed to bully her in the future." Zhai Jingyue replied respectfully, "Mom, don't worry, from now on, I will treat her as my sister."

In this way, Cui Xin stayed in the Bieqinglou for ten years until that day Tuoba Jiyu's subordinates broke the peace of the Bieqinglou.

Seeing Cuixin not answering, Chamuhe turned around and said to Yelu Ruan: "Prince, how could your jade pendant be on this little girl?"

Yelu Ruan was shocked, and immediately reached into her arms, took out the jade pendant and said, "My jade pendant is here, I have never left me for so many years."

Chamuhe walked up to Yelu Ruan, handed him the jade pendant, and said, "This is strange. Are there really two identical jade pendants in the world?"

Yelu Ruan carefully looked at the jade pendant in her hand, and suddenly realized it. She hurriedly ran to Cuixin, loosened the rope tied to her body, and asked tremblingly: "Miss, is this jade pendant yours?"

Cui Xin stretched out her hands to snatch the jade pendant and cried loudly: "At this time, my parents left me the only relics. You robbers didn't even let this go."
