On the entire Xiwei Mountain, there was only one couch, which was barely occupied by Liu Qinghuan, and the men on the mountain could only sleep in the open by lighting a fire at the entrance of the cave.
After nightfall, Xue Mu went to the cave to take another look at Liu Qinghuan, and after confirming that she was asleep, he took off his coat and put it on her thatched quilt. It was cold in the mountains at night, and Liu Qinghuan had injuries on her body, so it would be bad if she caught cold again.
Li Mo saw Xue Mu who was wearing only one coat, and sighed that the world was getting worse.
It was late at night and the soldiers had already fallen asleep in twos and threes. Li Mo was still discussing tomorrow's matters with Xue Mu: "I also saw the wound on Tang Zibo's shoulder. It really doesn't look like it was caused by human hands."
Gao Cheng listened to them talking about this matter, and interjected: "Master became like this because of poisoning, and he also likes to eat human flesh..." After being poisoned, Gao Zhengping became less and less like a person, as if he was really killed by the mountains. It's like being possessed by a ghost.
Li Mo seemed to have remembered something, and said to Xue Mu: "I still have a little impression of the name Gao Zhengping. It seems that he was Wen Wei's personal bodyguard and a well-known master at that time."
Xue Mudao: "I fought with him today, he is very strong, his hands are as sharp as a beast, and he is irrational when attacking people." A master is not terrible, but a mad master is different.
Li Mo thought for a while, and said: "Tomorrow only half of the people will be brought up the mountain, and the rest will stand by here to protect Madam. The three of us should be able to subdue him."
Xue Mu nodded, agreeing.
The whole night was safe and sound. When the sky was just dawn, Li Mo was already preparing his team for departure. Xue Mu walked into the cave, intending to take a look at Liu Qinghuan, but unexpectedly the girl had already woken up.
"Woke you up?" Xue Mu walked to the thatched shop and asked softly. Liu Qinghuan shook her head and sat up from the thatch: "Are you leaving?"
"Well, it's still early, you can sleep a little longer." Xue Mu stroked her long hair on the side of her face, soothing her softly. "I can't sleep." Liu Qinghuan looked at the person opposite with some worry, "Amu, you have to be careful."
"Well..." Xue Mu finally couldn't help but kissed the corner of her lips, "I'll be back soon."
"Cough cough." Li Mo stood at the entrance of the cave and coughed twice, "General Xue, we are leaving."
Xue Mu calmly supported Liu Qinghuan to lie down, got up and left the cave.
Under the leadership of Gao Cheng, a group of people walked to the "forbidden area" of Xiwei Mountain. There is some fog on the mountain today, and everyone is more vigilant than usual along the way. Not long after, Xue Mu suddenly stopped and said in a low voice, "Wait a minute."
The rest of the people stopped and looked around vigilantly.
A figure sprang out of the mist very fast, as fast as the parachutist of the princess mansion. At the moment when the figure appeared, Gao Cheng shouted: "Master!"
Gao Zhengping ignored him, seemed to recognize Xue Mu, and went straight to him. Xue Mu raised the long knife to block his sharp claws, Li Mo took advantage of Xue Mu to distract him, and quickly moved behind him, trying to stun him from behind.
Unexpectedly, Gao Zhengping seemed to have eyes behind his back, and his sharp left hand swept towards his waist unambiguously. Li Mo suddenly retracted his stomach and took two steps back.
He looked at Gao Zhengping and frowned. What a beastly instinct.
Xue Mu was still fighting him, but Li Mo didn't dare to delay, and stepped forward to join the battle with his knife in hand. As far as Gao Zhengping's martial arts is concerned, it is not as good as Xue Mu's, but he has no way to attack people, and his whole body is as agile as a beast, and he really can't find a chance to subdue him for a while.
Xue Mu looked at the claw that stabbed at his heart again, his eyes flickered, and the long knife in his hand was released, and he directly raised his hand to hold the opponent's wrist. Li Mo swiftly attacked from behind, Gao Zhengping was caught by Xue Mu as soon as possible, and he turned around and attacked Li Mo violently, dislocating his shoulder. Xue Mu also raised his hand at this time, quickly tapped his body a few times, sealing the big acupoints all over his body.
Gao Zhengping finally fainted on the ground, Li Mo exhaled a long breath, turned around to look at Gao Cheng: "Your leader is really useless."
Gao Cheng ignored the ridicule in his words, and stepped forward to check on Gao Zhengping who had fainted on the ground.
"Don't worry, he's fine, but it's too dangerous to take him back to Chang'an like this." As soon as Xue Mu finished speaking, the soldiers behind him had already walked up with a thick iron chain.
Gao Cheng's eyes moved, and he was still watching them tie up Gao Zhengping. Li Mo walked up to Xue Mu, and said in a low voice: "Gao Zhengping is Wen Wei's subordinate, and he has helped him guard the treasure for so many years, will the emperor deal with him when he is brought back?"
Xue Mu thought for a while and said: "Wen Wei has been dead for seventeen years, and he still never leaves Xiwei Mountain. He is also a loyal person. If he is willing to serve the emperor, the emperor will definitely accept him."
Li Mo said: "But can this disease be cured?"
"Even if he can't recover, he will be better than now. With his appearance, the emperor will not hold him accountable." After Xue Mu finished speaking, he looked up at the sky, "I'll go back and let the rest of you come over to meet with you, treasure. It's up to you to handle it."
Li Mo was taken aback for a moment: "Where are you going?"
Xue Mudao: "I want to take Qingqing back to Chang'an first." Liu Qinghuan's illness can't be delayed any longer, since Gao Zhengping has been cured, he doesn't want to delay any longer.
Li Mo looked at him in disbelief: "So you just called us here as coolies?" Don't be too tired for the porters!
Hearing this, Gao Cheng raised his head and looked at him: "That's what he told me yesterday."
Li Mo: "..."
In the eyes of General Xue, his majestic General Weiyuan is really just a younger brother.
After Xue Mu returned to the cave alone, he took Liu Qinghuan down the mountain first. He bought a carriage in Liang County, and General Xue acted as a groom himself, and drove to Chang'an. Although he was rushing, Liu Qinghuan was injured, so he didn't dare to drive the horse too fast. The car swayed slowly until the sun was about to set before entering Chang'an City.
It was too late to report to the emperor, Xue Mu took Liu Qinghuan straight back to Hou's mansion. Li Yuanbai, as the leader of the folk doctors, was taken to the Hou Mansion by Nian Tang when Peng Peng came back the first day, and he waited for the Hou Ye to come back to serve him.
Xue Mu helped Liu Qinghuan off the carriage, and carried her all the way into the main room. All the maids on the road stared at them with wide eyes. When they arrived at the main room, Liu Qinghuan's ears were completely red.
Chi Tao and Qing Zhi saw Xue Mu coming in with Liu Qinghuan in his arms from a distance, one rushed to invite Li Yuanbai bluffing, and the other hurriedly followed them into the dormitory.
Helping Xue Mu to help Liu Qinghuan lie down on the couch, Qing Zhi said with red eyes: "Madam, you are finally back, everyone should be worried to death."
Just as Liu Qinghuan wanted to comfort her, Li Yuanbai was forced in by Niantang, still yelling: "Miss Niantang, you can leave by yourself!"
Seeing him coming in, Xue Mu quickly got up and stepped aside: "Help her see."
Li Yuanbai shook his clothes, and felt Liu Qinghuan's pulse: "There is nothing serious, but the body is too weak."
Xue Mu's heart didn't relax because of his words: "She's coughing up blood."
"Coughing up blood?" Li Yuanbai frowned slightly, and asked Liu Qinghuan, "Have you been coughing?"
Liu Qinghuan thought for a while and said, "I had a severe cough a few days ago. Although I still cough these two days, I seldom cough up blood."
Li Yuanbai helped her feel the pulse again: "Does Madam have any other injuries?"
"I got an arrow wound on my waist." She thought for a while, and then added, "I soaked in the river for a long time after the injury, and then it was torn. It was torn several times, so it hasn't healed."
Qingzhi and Chitao were terrified when they heard it, why were they hit by an arrow and fell into the river again? ! Liang Chen also came over from Ning's side to inquire about the news at this time, and his face turned pale when he heard Liu Qinghuan's words. If the old lady knew about this, wouldn't she pass out
Li Yuanbai nodded calmly: "Madam just recovered from the poisoning, her body was already weak, and the arrow fell into the river, her body and spirit collapsed to the limit, so she coughed up blood."
Xue Mu looked at him suspiciously: "Are you sure?"
Li Yuanbai jumped up dissatisfied: "It's fine if you underestimate me, but don't underestimate this disease! If you continue to torment like this, you will have to toss yourself away!"
Xue Mu's face darkened, and it was finally difficult to have an attack. Li Yuanbai sat down next to Liu Qinghuan again, and asked, "Madam, have you been troubled before? You can't worry about your illness anymore."
Liu Qinghuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded to him: "Understood, the matter has been resolved."
"That's good. I'll prescribe a prescription for you to help you recuperate. Your body. This disease mainly depends on support. Don't worry, don't worry about it anymore."
Liu Qinghuan complied obediently. Some time ago, she was stretched like a bowstring full of bowstrings, and she was always calculating. Now that the big stone in her heart was put down, she felt relaxed.
Li Yuanbai got up, glared at Xue Mu, and ran to the side to prescribe the prescription. Qing Zhi waited on the side, writing down some things that need attention from him. A servant girl came in at the door and blessed Xue Mufu: "Master Hou, the emperor sent a servant from the palace to ask Master Hou whether he can use it."
Xue Mu said: "Please come in." It seems that even if he didn't enter the palace, he still alarmed the emperor.
Li Yuanbai just finished writing the prescription, and glanced at his mouth dissatisfied. Well, since every time Fengyu came here in person, why did Lord Hou insist on arresting him and bringing him to the Hou Mansion.
Feng Yu was still the same as last time, but there was a female doctor by his side. Li Yuanbai glanced at the female doctor curiously. The female doctors in the palace are all selected from among the maids of honor. After three to five years of training, they can treat concubines. Most of them are mediocre. The emperor sent the female doctor probably because he thought Mrs. Hou had some wounds that would be inconvenient for them to examine
I have to say that the emperor is really witty, he didn't dare to open his mouth to see the wound on Madam's waist just now.
Feng Yu took Liu Qinghuan's pulse, and also said that she was depressed and couldn't bother her mind, and her body had to be taken care of slowly. Li Yuanbai handed over the prescription he had just written to Fengyu, Fengyu added two herbs, and then handed it over to Qingzhi to get the medicine.
Li Yuanbai left the main room with Feng Yu, still disdainful of the two precious herbs he added just now. The female doctor stayed in the room and helped Liu Qinghuan check the wound on her waist. Xue Mu stood aside and watched, and the female doctor felt ashamed and flustered inexplicably.
"Madam needs to rest. This wound can't be torn anymore. It's torn." The female doctor did not forget to give her instructions while helping her clean the wound.
Liu Qinghuan responded, and asked, "Will there be scars after it's healed?"
The female doctor said: "Ma'am, don't worry, just apply a little of this white jade ointment when scabs form, even if there are scars, it will be very light."
"Oh, that's good." Liu Qinghuan finally felt relieved.
The female doctor bandaged her wound and retreated. Xue Mu breathed a sigh of relief, and asked Chi Tao to order the kitchen to bring some food.
Chi Tao led the order to go out, but ran into the yard, and ran back in a hurry: "Hou, Lord Hou, Mrs. Liu is here!"
Xue Mu was slightly taken aback, and Liu Qinghuan sat up straight at a loss.
Mrs. Liu walked in briskly with a maidservant behind her. Xue Mu wanted to say hello to her, but after Mrs. Liu entered the bedroom, she slapped Liu Qinghuan without saying a word.
There was a snap, crisp and loud.
This time not only stunned Liu Qinghuan, but everyone in the room was stunned. Xue Mu was anxious, angry and distressed, but he couldn't do anything to Mrs. Liu, so he could only quickly stand in front of Liu Qinghuan: "My lord mother-in-law, why is this?"
"Why?" Mrs. Liu laughed back angrily, trying to push the person in front of her away, but she couldn't do it for a while, and directly yelled at Liu Qinghuan through Xue Mu, "Liu Qinghuan, your mother gave birth to you!" That day, before it was time to give birth, why did she give birth to you with all her life? She just hoped that you could live! But are you so disrespectful of your own life? I named you Qinghuan, just to hope You can live a peaceful and happy life, but you still want to take revenge. Well, you want to take revenge, but you don’t want to live anymore, right? I’ll kill you right now!”
After Madam Liu finished speaking, she really moved her hands. Xue Mu didn't dare to stop her, so she had to let her hit him all the time. Chitao was in a hurry, and Mrs. Liu seemed to be very angry, and she really did not take it lightly!
Liu Qinghuan's heart was sour, tears fell down, and she apologized to Mrs. Liu crying: "Mother, it's Qing Huan's mistake, don't be angry."
"You're wrong? How could you be wrong? You may not be able to do it. You dare to take revenge on the King of Lingnan alone..." Mrs. Liu began to cry as she spoke. Fortunately, Ning Shi rushed over accompanied by Liang Chen, and then took the Mrs. Liu pulled aside and sat down.
The Ning family was comforting Mrs. Liu over there, Xue Mu finally had time to look at the place where Liu Qinghuan was beaten just now. The five red finger prints are clearly visible, which is really a ruthless move.
"Qingqing, does it hurt?" Xue Mu caressed her side face distressedly, and touched the cold tears with his hand. Liu Qinghuan shook her head, and asked him: "Amu, Auntie didn't hurt you, did she?" Just based on how she hit herself just now, it can be judged that the hit on Xue Mu would never be light.
Xue Mu wiped her tears while saying, "If Auntie can injure me, I won't be a great general anymore."
Liu Qinghuan was amused by him, then climbed down from the bunk again, and knelt down towards Mrs. Liu and Ning: "Aniang, Qinghuan really knows that she was wrong, calm down."
Xue Mu looked at the person kneeling on the ground and frowned. Just now when the doctor told her to rest and not to bother her mind, she immediately cried and knelt down again. How could her body bear it? But now Aniang and the others won't let her get up, and he can't force her up, so he can only kneel down with her: "Aniang, I can't blame Qingqing for this matter, I let her go, you have to blame Just blame me."
Mrs. Liu was beating and scolding just now, and she was tired now, so she just watched them not talking. Ning helped her get along, and said to Liu Qinghuan and Xue Mu: "It's true that you did something wrong, Qinghuan, do you know that during the few days you disappeared, no one in the Hou's Mansion and the Shilang's Mansion slept peacefully. Do you feel it?"
Liu Qinghuan's eyes turned red, and she coughed while shedding tears: "Mother, cough cough, Qing Huan really knows that she was wrong, and she, cough, will never dare again."
Xue Mu helped Liu Qinghuan, and said anxiously: "Aniang, this is all my idea. If you are really angry, the child can go to the ancestral hall to kneel all night tonight. Qingqing is still injured, you let her get up first Bar."
Liang Chen watched them sweating for them, Hou Ye protected his wife so well, he was really reluctant to let her suffer even the slightest grievance. When she came in, she could clearly see that Mrs. Liu's fists and slaps were all aimed at Lord Hou.
But when Xue Mu said this, the two old ladies were really worried about Liu Qinghuan's body. Ning asked her to get up quickly, and Madam Liu didn't object. Xue Mu hurriedly helped her own daughter-in-law up.
Ning glared at Xue Mu, and pulled Mrs. Liu out. Xue Mu asked Chitao to bring a basin of clean water, and wiped Liu Qinghuan's face: "Qingqing, don't cry anymore, the doctor said you can't bother."
Liu Qinghuan obediently let him finish wiping her face, and smiled at him: "Ah Mu, I had a fake cough just now."
Xue Mu glanced at her and pinched her nose: "I knew you were faking it."
Liu Qinghuan laughed twice: "Amu, you cooperated really well just now, you didn't even know that when I was young, my mother was very good at scolding people, if she didn't cough twice, she could scold us here all night. "
Chi Tao, who heard their conversation, now thinks, it's over, it's over, Master Hou was led by his wife!
