Chapter 172, jealousy
On Chinese New Year's Eve, the county prince Nangong Xun, because he was rewarded by his subordinates, a ringing horse appeared outside the city. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info was worried about the safety of Makuchenxue, so he went out of the city at night to visit. But he didn't want to get off the post road, and he heard a burst of screams and explosions in the distance, and ordered Liuyun to light a torch and speed up and go straight to the Grange of the morning snow.
Nangong Shumo also saw the fire getting closer and closer on the roof of the grange, and when he heard that the person who came turned out to be his brother, his brows furrowed even tighter, and he pulled Mu Chenxue's hand tighter with a look of jealousy.
"Poof!" Mu Chenxue felt the anger of this jealous man, and her heart was a little sweet. "Brother Feng, I only have you here!" Mu Chenxue stroked her chest and smiled at Nangong Shumo.
"You go to the inner courtyard room with the wind guards to hide for a while, I won't be in danger here. Wait until I send the prince of the county first! Nangong Shumo was a little unwilling. Mu Chenxue had to persuade two more words, and in the end, Feng Wuqiang pulled the master down and hid.
Nangong Xun hurried to the outside of the grange, looking at the blood all over the ground, the corpses that fell to the ground, and the people who were injured by the arrows and iron sand, he couldn't help but be shocked. Even so many people were injured, and there were even people who were attacking the Grange with torches, and immediately ordered Liuyun, Hidden Mist and other accompanying guards, "Kill!" "One word decided the fate of these ringing horses.
He himself drew his sword and rode into the crowd. With his sword in hand, he rushed to the door of the grange in a few breaths. The guards inside saw their master rushing over, hurriedly opened the door and rushed out of the grange, and Li Yingwai killed all the ringing horses without leaving a piece of armor. Not even a single living mouth remained.
The ringing horse at the back door of the grange was cleaned up by the guards, and Nangong Xun dismounted directly into the grange, and when he looked up, he saw Mu Chenxue standing on the roof of the second courtyard and commanding everyone.
"Chenxue, are you injured or frightened?" Nangong Xun had a worried face, and his tone was gentle, even Liuyun and Hidden Mist had never seen such a master.
"I'm fine, I have four guards sent by Erudite, how can I be fine. It's just that today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and Erudite doesn't stay in King Qing's Mansion, how can he come here? Mu Chenxue said as she pulled her hands out of Nangong Xun's hands, and by the way, she straightened her hair that was blown by the wind, so as to avoid the embarrassment of the two.
Nangong Xun was already used to Mu Chenxue's dodge, so he didn't pay much attention to it, but carefully helped her down the wooden ladder, and the two entered Mu Chenxue's house together.
"Morning Snow knows who these are?" Nangong Xun did not answer Mu Chenxue's question first, but asked Mu Chenxue instead.
Tong Jiang took the family members on the Zhuangzi to collect the corpses outside and clean up the blood. The eight guards did not dare to be careless, and guarded the gate of the village tightly in case someone else took the opportunity to sneak attack. And the people who came with Nangong Xun were all guarding outside the curtain morning snow house, only Liuyun and Hidden Fog followed, but they were only guarding the door of the house.
"These people are well-trained, they should not be disaster victims, but rattling horses pretending to be disaster victims!" Mu Chenxue poured Nangong Xun a cup of tea and sat down, took a deep breath, and then loosened the tense nerves.
"Chenxue is really smart about ice and snow, I just got the news, I heard that there was a ringing horse from outside the city, and I took advantage of natural disasters to rob the house, so I didn't worry about rushing over to take a look!" I didn't see it very clearly from the outside just now, but at this moment, the two of them sat opposite each other, and Nangong Xun took advantage of the candle in the house to carefully look at the morning snow. Seeing that there was no blood on her body, her face was only a little red from the cold wind, but her eyes were clear, and she did not see fear and panic.
If it were to be another lady, I was afraid that at this time, the early pear blossom would cry and hide in the house with rain, and she was wrapped in a brocade quilt and shivered. But the curtain morning snow stood in the wind, standing at the highest point and commanding everyone, with only twenty or thirty people, he blocked the siege of a hundred horses. Such a strange woman, how can he give up easily.
"Fortunately, I have been prepared, and I have a knowledgeable escort to protect me, and I can save the day if there is no danger. It's just that I still have one more thing to learn! Mu Chenxue knew Nangong Xun since she knew him, and she never asked him for anything. So Nangong Xun throbbed a little in his heart, and he was looking forward to it.
"There's something wrong with the morning snow, but it's okay to say it!" As long as it is not such a major event as rebellion, he will definitely help her complete it.
"So many people died at once today, even if these people are all ringing horses, but they died on my grange, and the government will definitely investigate them. I don't want to get involved, so I hope Erudite can help me think of a way to see if I can smooth this matter out without alarming the government! "Since Nangong Xun already knows about this matter, she can't ask Nangong Shumo anymore, otherwise it will be revealed that the relationship between the two is small, in case Princess Qing knows that Nangong Shumo is just pretending to be disabled, then his life will be in danger, so she wants to ask Nangong Xun for help.
"What's so difficult about this, leave it to Liuyun to do!" Even if Mu Chenxue didn't mention it, Nangong Xun thought so too. At the beginning, Mu Chenxue hid her identity and did business under the fake identity of "Mu Qing", not just to be a low-key person. So he will naturally help Mu Chenxue wipe this matter clean.
The two were chatting, when they saw a guard who stayed in the outer courtyard of the grange to ask to see Liuyun, who went out for less than a quarter of an hour, then turned back again, leaned over the ear of the prince of the county, whispered a few words, and then retreated to the door and secretly glanced at Miss Mu. He heard something terrible just now, and glanced at the hidden mist, who disappeared and went directly out of the room of the morning snow.
Nangong Xun listened to Liuyun's advice, frowned, and then looked up at Mu Chenxue, "Chenxue, do you still have guests in the village, if it is convenient, why don't you invite them out to see?" ”
"Yes!" Seeing that Liuyun's behavior was so abnormal, Mu Chenxue had already guessed that Nangong Shumo's protection of her should have been seen by someone. Therefore, for Nangong Xun's question, he did not evade, but spoke bluntly. Although she couldn't see this person as a friend completely, this person was sincere to her after all. Even if you can't entrust your sincerity, you don't want to lie to him and hurt him.
"It's a friend who lives in Zhuangzi, but he doesn't like to meet strangers, so he can't introduce him to Erudite!" Nangong Shumo and Nangong Xun must not meet, and when the hidden fog left, Mu Chenxue also noticed it, and knew that he must have gone to investigate everywhere in the village. It's just that she is confident that Feng Wu will definitely find a way to hide Nangong Shumo. So there was no rush to stop it.
"That's a pity, I heard from my subordinates, this person has strong martial arts, and he can see things as Chenxue blocking the hidden weapon at night a hundred meters away, and I want to thank him for his maintenance of Chenxue!" Nangong Xun was also a little surprised, Miss Mu actually defended this person like this, and listening to what Liuyun said, the other party turned out to be a man. "Could it be that this person has something deeper to do with Miss Maku?" The more I thought about it, the worse my face became, and I even had the urge to turn people out of the Zhuangzi.
