The melodious music sounded in the main hall, and the graceful dancers twisted their graceful bodies along with the rhythm. The sleeves are dancing lightly, the hem of the skirt is flying, and the eyes are flowing with every move and gesture.
But of the two men in the main hall, one was only focused on drinking with the wine jug, while the other seemed to be looking at them, but his expression was clearly in a daze.
The dancers felt aggrieved.
So the water snake twisted its waist even harder, wishing it could make a twist. But the two men in the hall were still drinking and drinking, in a daze.
They kind of don't want to do it anymore.
The high-nosed orchids from the Western Regions can win the applause of many guests if they walk around the West Market twice. What are they working hard for here
Just when the dancers were angry and the men were absent-minded, suddenly two men in black came in like a whirlwind! Without making any opening remarks, the fierce blade slashed at Xue Mu without hesitation!
Xue Mu was still in a daze just now, but in a blink of an eye, he saw two men in black rushing towards him viciously, as if they had a great enmity with him. His eyebrows moved slightly, and he wondered why the assassinations are getting more brutal now? In the previous two times, I knew that I would choose to do it at night, but now that I am wearing such eye-catching clothes in broad daylight, is it to attract his attention
Although he thought a lot in his mind, it was only a matter of a moment, even before the two assassins rushed in front of him, General Weiyuan smashed the wine jar in his hand.
"哐!" There was a loud noise, not to mention the sudden stop of the dance and music, even the movements of the assassins paused.
"Hahahahaha, Grandpa, I just wanted to fight, so Lord Hou sent me two! Brother, don't explain!" Li Mo said in a loud voice, and flew towards the two assassins. Seeing him rushing towards him like a tiger, the assassin had no choice but to turn his gun and aim at him first. Xue Mu looked at the three trembling together for a moment, and felt that it would be nice to let Li Mo relieve his boredom.
At least he won't stay here forever.
But just as the three of them fought together over there, another three men in black flew in, dressed exactly like the two just now. Xue Mu narrowed his eyes slightly, Nuo Yan behind him flew up to stop the three of them without saying a word, even Nian Tang rushed out from behind the screen, and stood in front of Xue Mu warily.
The main hall, which was singing and dancing just now, turned into a battlefield. The dancers turned pale with fright and screamed again and again. Only General Weiyuan kept beating and howling, asking Nuo Yan to save one for him.
The five men in black are very skilled, but Li Mo and Nuo Yan are even better, especially Li Mo, who is a general who can defeat ten thousand on the battlefield. The five men in black soon showed their signs of failure .
But Jiao Didi's dancers kept retreating to Xue Mu's side. Lord Hou is the number one God of War in Dacheng, and the safest place is next to him!
Xue Mu looked at the battle situation in the hall, and suddenly said to Nian Tang in front of him: "You go to the inner courtyard to have a look."
There was a hint of imperceptible anxiety in his tone, Nian Tang pursed his lips, and left the main hall obediently.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out of the main hall, he saw Liu Qinghuan approaching him.
After stopping Liu Qinghuan, Nian Tang said with a serious face: "Someone is going to assassinate Lord Hou, you should go back to the inner courtyard quickly."
Liu Qinghuan's expression darkened, she pushed Nian Tang who was standing in front of her and walked in: "Go and protect Auntie, I have something to do with Lord Hou."
What she said was so outrageous that Nian Tang didn't even have a chance to refute. She glanced at Liu Qinghuan who was leaving quickly, frowning, and rushed to the old lady's house.
As soon as Liu Qinghuan stepped into the main hall, she saw Xue Mu standing alone in front of the screen, surrounded by a group of dancers. The carefully pruned willow leaf eyebrows were twisted together, and Liu Qinghuan found the dancer who was talking to him in front of the window almost instantly.
She was as trembling as the other dancers, but the faint silver light in her right hand still couldn't escape Liu Qinghuan's piercing eyes.
"careful!"
At the same time she yelled these two words, the three silver needles in Wu Ji's hand also shot straight at Xue Mu!
In fact, Xue Mu has already noticed the murderous intent around him. On the battlefield, he can see the murderous intent thousands of miles away, so how could he ignore the murderous intent that is close at hand? If Liu Qinghuan thought about it carefully, she would also understand this point, but at this moment, she didn't think about anything, she just pushed Xue Mu away as fast as she could.
It was also at this time that the sudden sharp pain in her left shoulder made her face pale in an instant.
She remembered that she had done acupuncture before, and it obviously didn't hurt so much...
The moment before Liu Qinghuan lost her mind, she seemed to hear Xue Mu calling her name.
Clear!
It was even more deafening than the howl of the parachutist before he died. She raised her eyelids slightly, and saw Xue Mu staring at her with a pair of black eyes. He seemed to be very anxious, but there was a murderous look of overwhelming anger in his eyes.
She thought, he also frightened the enemy in the same way on the battlefield.
But before he had time to think about it, he fell into endless darkness.
The moment Xue Mu watched Liu Qinghuan pass out in his arms, his heart seemed to stop beating for an instant. His eyes were slightly red, as if they were blood-colored. He hugged Liu Qinghuan's arm tightly, and shouted to the hall: "Nuo Yan, no one can let go!"
Half an hour later, Tang Zibo's mansion.
Tang Zibo looked at the person who was walking quickly, finally stopped pacing, and eagerly greeted him: "Did you get it?"
The subordinate pursed his lips tightly and shook his head.
Tang Zibo's face darkened, and the unwillingness in his heart swept over again. I knew that Xue Mu would not be easy to assassinate, so I arranged Liu Qinghuan as a pawn, but...
He let out a breath and said in a deep voice, "Where's Jingshu?"
The subordinate's face turned pale, and his voice sounded a bit awkward: "It was cut in half by Xue Mu." After a pause, he continued, "It's really two halves."
The hall was strangely quiet for a while, and even Tang Zibo's face became ugly. He had never been on a battlefield, so he didn't know what it was like when the two armies fought, but he usually wouldn't use such a brutal method to kill a person, right
He pursed his lips and asked, "What happened?"
The subordinate said: "She, she hurt Xue Mu's wife."
Tang Zibo's eyes changed: "Liu Qinghuan? How is she?"
"I don't know, but Jingshu's poison is not so easy to cure, so the situation is probably not very good."
Liu Qinghuan's condition was indeed not very good. After being poisoned, he started to have a high fever. Li Yuanbai, who came with a knife around his neck, was crying desperately: "Master Hou, you must believe me, although I have a way to cure this poison, the few herbs I need are probably only available in the palace. .”
Xue Mu stared at him gloomyly, without speaking.
Li Yuanbai finally squeezed out his tears under his silent threat: "Master Hou, based on your friendship with the emperor, he will definitely be willing to give you a few herbs. Instead of scaring the little ones here, it is better to send someone into the palace as soon as possible." "Hou Ye is so scary, he really wants to go back to the small pharmacy he opened in Dongshi.
Xue Mu let out a breath and called Nuo Yan. Just as he was about to let him enter the palace to look for the emperor, Nian Tang came in with a middle-aged man: "Master Hou, the emperor found out about Madam's injury, and specially sent Fengyu from Shangyao Bureau to treat her."
The word "Feng Yu" made Li Yuanbai's eyes brighten, and he couldn't help but take another look at the visitor. Seeing that the other party was just an ordinary-looking middle-aged man, he looked away in disappointment.
It seems that the people who specialize in treating the emperor are nothing more than that, hmph.
Although the emperor sent one of the only imperial guards in the whole country, Xue Mu didn't show much flattered, but invited him into the house quickly. Li Yuanbai blinked, and followed him in a panic.
For Liu Qinghuan's pulse, what Feng Yu said was almost the same as what Li Yuanbai said before, but what is pleasing is that he brought all the medicinal materials needed.
After prescribing the prescription, Feng Yu explained some things that need to be paid attention to, and left without hesitation. Li Yuanbai looked at his leaving back with envy, and smiled dryly: "Master Hou, that little one also retired first."
Xue Mu said in a deep voice: "You can't. You have to stay in the Hou Mansion until you wake up."
Li Yuanbai: "..."
He looked at Xue Mu's gloomy face, and said aggrievedly: "You let him go."
Xue Mu glanced sideways at him.
Li Yuanbai: "..."
I heard that Master Hou just chopped a person as firewood today, haha.
Li Yuanbai settled down in the Hou's mansion melancholy, and began to miss the flowers and plants he kept in the pharmacy. I don't know if they will dry out if no one waters them.
He yawned softly, glanced at Xue Mu who was still sitting by the bed, and said helplessly, "Master Hou, after drinking the medicine, the poison in the body has been controlled, and even the fever has subsided a lot. You hurry up and rest." He was really sleepy.
Xue Mu ignored him, but tried the temperature on Liu Qinghuan's forehead again. Not as hot as before, his heart finally felt a little more at ease.
After washing the soft scarf in clean water again, Xue Mu wrung out the scarf and put it back on Liu Qinghuan's forehead.
Li Yuanbai pursed his lips and yawned again. Master Hou said earlier that he was afraid that his condition would change at night, so he really planned to stay here overnight, right
Still dragging him along.
He is now worried that when the patient recovers, he, the doctor, will fall down.
tuk tuk.
Two barely audible knocks on the door still made Xue Mu frown displeased. Chi Tao, who stayed in the room, was ready to send people away with winking eyes, but Qing Zhi said softly outside the door: "My Lord, Princess Yongfu came to visit and said she wanted to see Madam."
Xue Mu frowned and thought for a while, then whispered: "Come in."
The door was gently pushed open, Qingzhi stood sideways and invited Yongfu into the room.
Li Yuanbai looked at the graceful and luxurious princess, and suddenly woke up halfway from his doze. Oh, oh, princess, it's not easy to see it! So Master Hou just has face!
Yongfu's late-night visit was certainly not to see Liu Qinghuan. She was just worried about Xue Mu.
Today's assassination was so violent that it spread throughout the streets and alleys of Chang'an City in one afternoon. The "Laughing Hua Tuo" in Dongshi never went back to the pharmacy after being kidnapped. She thought about it for a long time, but she still couldn't help but came to the Hou Mansion.
Although she had heard that it was Liu Qinghuan who was injured and not Xue Mu, seeing Xue Mu taking care of her wholeheartedly at this moment still made her feel a little uncomfortable. She walked to the bed and asked, "How is she?"
"You should be able to wake up after tonight."
Xue Mu didn't even look at Yongfu while speaking, he was still staring at the unconscious person on the bed. Yongfu was even more congested, and blurted out: "Xue Mu, what is so good about her, that she deserves to be treated like this by you? Did she pay a visit to you when you were dying of illness?!"
