Not long after Xue Mu lay down on the bed, he heard a commotion outside.
"Master Hou, there are assassins." Nuo Yan's deep voice sounded outside the door, Xue Mu's eyelashes trembled twice, and he slowly opened his eyes.
He thought that after what happened last time, Tang Zibo would calm down for a while, but he didn't expect to lose his composure so soon
"Caught it?"
"No." Nuo Yan thought for a while and felt a little strange, "It was discovered by the nursing home of the Hou Mansion. Seeing that they had alarmed the nursing home, they fled away quickly."
Xue Mu's eyes twitched, he knew the level of the guards in the Hou's mansion, and even they couldn't hide it from them, and wanted to assassinate him
His heart beat suddenly, he sat up suddenly from the bed, opened the door and walked out.
"But what's wrong?" Nuo Yan who followed closely behind him asked worriedly. Xue Mu frowned slightly, and said, "It's just a guess."
Better not be what he thinks.
Nuo Yan watched him walking quickly towards the main room without making a sound.
On the winding path in the garden, Liu Qinghuan came to meet her in a goose-yellow long skirt with wide sleeves. Followed by two servant girls and Nian Tang.
Seeing someone coming, Xue Mu walked up two steps at a time: "Why are you here?"
Liu Qinghuan said: "I heard that there are assassins just now, I was worried about the safety of Lord Hou, so I came to have a look."
Xue Mu's eyes looked a bit obscure under the moonlight, Liu Qing welcomed his scrutiny with clear and innocent eyes.
Xue Mu stared at her for a while, then smiled a little and said: "I'm fine, the assassin has escaped, you go back to your room first."
Liu Qinghuan nodded, and said like every good wife who cares about her husband: "It's getting late, Lord Hou should also go to bed earlier."
"Okay." Xue Mu watched her figure completely disappear from his sight, then turned and returned to the lotus.
He went to the palace early in the morning on the second day, and today Aes was going back to Dongganluo Kingdom, the emperor specifically told him to send the special envoy well.
Liu Qinghuan also got up early in the morning. After dressing up, she went to Ning's to say hello, and the two had breakfast together. Because yesterday was Qixi Festival, the old lady talked about which maid got a coincidence from Weaver Girl last night, and which maid was stupid as hell.
Liu Qinghuan listened with a smile on her face all the time, interjecting a few words from time to time. Speaking of which, the spider that Qingzhi locked in the powder box last night also worked hard all night, weaving a beautiful web for her.
Ning seems to be very happy today, she dragged Liu Qinghuan and had a good chat before letting her go. After Liu Qinghuan returned to the main room, the first thing she did was to drink a large bowl of water.
Maybe it was because he drank too fast, after being choked by the water twice, Liu Qinghuan squatted down on the ground clutching his stomach.
"Ma'am, what's wrong with you?" Seeing this, the two maids hurried forward to help him up. Liu Qinghuan raised her pale face and gave them a painful look. Now the faces of the two maids also turned pale, pale with fright. .
"Ma'am, what's wrong with you?"
"Is it a stomachache?"
As the two talked to each other, Liu Qinghuan felt a dull pain in his head. She was helped to sit down on the bed, but her face became paler and paler.
Nian Tang also rushed over when she heard the movement in the room, and was also startled when she saw the miserable Liu Qinghuan: "What's wrong?"
"I don't know, madam's sudden abdominal pain, could it be due to the lingering poison?" Thinking of this possibility, Chi Tao's face turned pale again.
"Miss Niantang, can I trouble you to find Li Yuanbai in Dongshi?" Qing Zhi was also in a hurry, thinking that the last time Master Hou was looking for Dr. Li, this time he was definitely looking for him.
Nian Tang was in a bit of a dilemma. Although she could save more time by personally going to Dongshi to catch Li Yuanbai, Lord Hou told her to pay special attention today. If something unexpected happened, she couldn't explain it to Xue Mu.
Seeing Nian Tang's hesitation, Liu Qinghuan hummed twice in pain, and said weakly: "It's okay, it may not be because of the residual poison, it may be the root cause of my illness because I didn't eat well when I was young. Don't worry, I'll be fine after a while. gone."
On the contrary, Qingzhi became more anxious: "Ma'am, what are you talking about?" Is this already sick and confused!
They didn't understand what she said, but Nian Tang did. She is also a person who has suffered from hunger and suffering, and she knows that if her body is not well maintained, the root cause of the disease will definitely remain. She saw that Liu Qinghuan's expression didn't seem to be fake, and she also had a feeling of sympathy and pity, so she gritted her teeth and said, "I'll be back soon, you take care of her!"
After Nian Tang finished speaking, she flew out of the room, Liu Qinghuan heard her footsteps going away, sat up from the bed quickly, and quickly gave Chi Tao and Qing Zhi a hand knife, before the two maids were surprised, They both passed out on the bed.
Liu Qinghuan put on a veil and flew out of the room.
When Nuo Yan heard the sound of the door opening, he looked back. Liu Qinghuan walked out from the back door with a veil covering her face. That scarf was just an ordinary scarf, without the delicately embroidered cuckoo bird. Nuo Yan said, "Where did you and Aies meet up?"
Liu Qinghuan replied: "He is in the house."
Nuo Yan's brows twitched, Aies should still be in the palace now, it seems that someone else came to meet her.
He nodded and said concisely: "I know a shortcut, follow me."
Liu Qinghuan followed behind him and smiled softly.
The two stopped in a hidden alley, and Liu Qinghuan glanced at Nuo Yan in front of him suspiciously: "Why don't you leave?"
Nuo Yan turned his head to look at her for a while, and drew out the long knife at his waist without saying a word.
Liu Qinghuan: "..."
This stance is not to fight with himself, it is clearly planning to cut himself with a knife.
Nian Tang was not so ruthless.
She twitched the corners of her mouth, and said with a dry smile: "You shouldn't, but also to Lord Hou..."
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt the expression of the person opposite her tremble.
Liu Qinghuan shut her mouth obediently, Nuo Yan pointed the sharp knife point at her, and said in a deep voice: "I said before, I can't let people like you stay by Lord Hou's side."
There are too many uncertain factors in her body. Although Lord Hou is determined to keep her, he must kill any factors that will cause danger to Lord Hou. Even if she runs away now, Lord Hou will definitely find her, and only by killing her can future troubles be avoided forever.
Liu Qinghuan had already guessed that this would be the case, she took a step back, looked behind Nuo Yan and shouted: "Master Hou."
Nuo Yan's hand holding the long knife froze.
He had encountered this kind of psychological tactics many times on the battlefield, but now that these two words came out of her mouth, he didn't know whether to believe them or not.
Because he felt that there was really someone behind him.
To turn back, or not to turn back
"Don't lie to me." Nuo Yan took a step closer, but decided to deal with the person in front of him first. Suddenly a fierce murderous aura came from behind, Nuo Yan had no choice but to turn around and return to defense. Liu Qinghuan saw the moment when he turned his back, quickly stepped forward with a knife, and slashed like a faint red peach and green gardenia fainted him.
The person on the opposite side blew a whistle and looked at her in surprise: "Your martial arts are much better than I imagined."
The person who came was naturally not Xue Mu, Liu Qinghuan looked at the tall man opposite, and remembered that he was the man who called out Ayers' name when Ayers was about to take her away.
"Li Goudan?" She asked tentatively.
The man's face became a little weird, and then he smiled at her: "I heard that this is your designated connection code."
Liu Qinghuan nodded: "The name Li Goudan is elegant and unique, with profound meaning and catchy, very popular in Dacheng."
"Really?" The man twitched the corner of his mouth and tapped Nuo Yan's sleeping point, in case Liu Qinghuan didn't hit hard enough to wake him up too quickly, "Let's go."
"Yeah." Liu Qinghuan glanced back at Nuo Yan who was sleeping on the ground, and followed "Li Goudan" to leave quickly.
Pengpeng has been lying in ambush near Ayers' house for two hours, but there is still no movement until now. He yawned boredly, and felt that the chances of U Lala breaking through the defense of Nian Tang and Nuo Yan and successfully arriving here were very slim.
Just when he was thinking that he must go to West Market for a drink after the end, two figures, a man and a woman, rushed into Aies' mansion quickly.
Pengpeng suddenly became energetic.
That man was undoubtedly Aies' subordinate, and the woman, although she was covered with a veil, was probably Ulala by her figure.
How did she get rid of Niantang and Nuoyan? Peng Peng frowned, calling the people around him to cheer up.
Not long after the two entered, two more came out of the door. Both of them were dressed as Dongganluo people, and their figures were very similar to the two just now, but they were both covered.
Pengpeng pursed her lips, is it Ulala
"Follow?" A person behind asked.
Pengpeng nodded, of course he had to follow, if Wu Lala ran away from his hand... Although there are no lotus flowers now, there are still many, many, many flowers in the garden of the Hou Mansion.
"Wait." A person behind him suddenly called out, "Look, two more come out!"
What he said was true, the previous two hadn't walked a few steps, and two more people appeared from Aies' mansion, their appearance and figure were exactly the same as those two.
Peng Peng's face became ugly.
"Which one?"
"All follow!"
"Wait, two more, two more, two more..."
Pengpeng: "..."
Looking at the people who filed out, Peng Peng's face was turning blue, he gritted his teeth and said, "Follow them all! Don't let one go!"
But someone behind him raised his opinion: "What if all of this is a cover-up they put out? Maybe the real body is still in the house, waiting to lure us away before coming out."
Pengpeng: "..."
He has a good point.
So he gritted his teeth again: "I will stay here to monitor, if there is not enough manpower, please ask for support!"
"No, I thought of another possibility, maybe the first two that went in were fake, and the real body is not here at all."
Pengpeng: "..."
This sentence finally became the last straw that crushed Pengpeng.
Lord Hou, what flowers do you want me to count this time hahahahaha!
Xue Mu bid farewell to Aesi Yiyi outside the city gate according to the order, and Peng Peng ran over with tears in his eyes. He whispered this and that in Xue Mu's ear, and Xue Mu's face suddenly became ugly.
He glanced at Aies, he was with him all the time, and he didn't notice that anyone took the opportunity to sneak into the team, she should still be in Chang'an City.
Aies smiled at him, and said in a considerate manner: "If Lord Hou is in a hurry, please go first."
Xue Mu pursed her lips, and quickly left with Peng Peng.
Aies' team moved slowly, and Aies slowed down the speed of the horses to keep parallel with a petite person. He hooked the corners of his mouth, and said to himself: "He must have never dreamed that the date we agreed to escape is not the eighth day, but the seventh day, right?"
The petite figure slightly lifted the hat on her head, revealing her face.
Liu Qinghuan's face.
