The secret guard stared at Mu Zitang for several days, but he didn't find anything unusual, so he directly returned the matter to Cheng.
According to the information reported by the dark guard, Mu Zitang is both civil and military, and he is simply a rare talent. But such an excellent young man was banned from cultivation. Cheng pondered a little, but still couldn't figure out the relationship.
After all, she had never heard of the relationship between Lixiu and Mu Zitang, and the general's mansion and the county king's mansion had always been well water and not river water.
The dark guard didn't see Cheng speak for a long time, and shouted in a low voice, "Madam? ”
Cheng raised his eyes slightly and said, "Check Mu Zitang's communication situation for me, who does he get close to on weekdays?" ”
"Yes! Belong to this and go. After the dark guard finished speaking, he paused, and saw that the Cheng clan really had no other instructions, so he quietly left.
Cheng thought about it, Mu Zitang had no problem with himself, so he started with the friends he knew around him.
Speaking of which, he will be interested in Mu Zitang, in addition to thinking that he is a rare outstanding talent, but more because of the attitude of the cultivator towards him.
However, at the moment, she couldn't ask about the retreat, so she could only send someone to find out the situation privately.
But in fact, even if the monk is in Beijing, he may not necessarily answer frankly when she asks.
And so it went on for a few more days.
Xiaohua came to ask Le'er for leave and wanted to go out of the house with Granny Gu.
Le'er asked curiously: "Out of the house, where to go?" ”
Since ancient times, mother-in-law and Xiaohua came to the General's Mansion, and the two never said that they wanted to leave the mansion.
In addition, the Gaomen Mansion has strict control over the maids, and in addition to the subordinates who buy on weekdays, the other subordinates cannot leave the mansion casually without the orders of the master.
Xiaohua said a little sadly: "Tomorrow is my mother's sacrifice day, and my grandmother and I want to worship my mother." ”
When Le'er heard this, she hurriedly said, "This is how it should be!" Go ahead! Have you bought everything for tomorrow's worship? Do you want to go out of the house today? ”
Xiaohua smiled gratefully and said, "I bought all the incense and candles for worship, and grandma asked the kitchen to help buy them." ”
Le'er smiled and asked Nanzhen to take a tael of silver to Xiaohua.
"You keep this, it's a little bit of my heart."
Xiaohua refused and said, "Miss, no need." ”
Nanzhen used to follow Le'er out of the house every day, and she knew Xiaohua one step ahead of other people in the house, and since Xiaohua entered the house, she also took care of Xiaohua a lot, plus Xiaohua is also a responsible person.
When I came to the house, I quickly recognized my position and did my duty.
Therefore, Nanzhen is getting better and better for her.
Seeing that Xiaohua was embarrassed to accept the reward, she stuffed it directly into her hand and said, "Miss gave the reward, you can take it!" Miss has a lot of money! You're kind to her. ”
Le'er has a big temperament, and she spoils Nanzhen, so Nanzhen has no worries when she speaks.
"That's right! Just take it! Don't be like your sister Nanzhen, you think the reward is too little! Le'er said, not forgetting to joke about Nanzhen.
Nan Zhen retorted unevenly, "It's not right for Miss to say this, when are there too few slaves!" After all, no matter how small a mosquito is, it is also meat! ”
"Okay, you're less poor, you see if Xiaohua needs any help, you go and help her." Le'er commanded with a smile.
Nanzhen also stopped playing and withdrew with Xiaohua.
In the afternoon, when Le'er and Yimo were playing with Xiao Chu in Nanjin Courtyard, she casually said this.
Yimo asked a little worriedly: "Out of the house?" Didn't Xiaohua's father still come to the door last month to see Granny Gu and Xiaohua? Tomorrow is the day of the Little Flower Lady's sacrifice, and the little flower father will definitely block people by the grave, right? ”
Le'er was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said, "Yes! Xiaohua's father is another unscrewed person, so he won't pick a day, if Gu Bao's mother-in-law and Xiaohua are bumped into by Xiaohua's father tomorrow, won't it be a big trouble? ”
Yimo affirmed, "Of course! Why don't you talk to your mother and sister-in-law, and let her send a few more little girls to follow? ”
After the words fell, Ruan Shi entered the house.
She smiled and asked, "What do you want to tell me and my mother?" ”
Le'er quickly talked about Xiaohua's mother sacrifice tomorrow.
Ruan Shi said clearly: "It's better to think about it thoroughly, I'll ask Mama to pick two little guys to accompany their grandchildren tomorrow, don't trouble my mother about this, I just came from her, and my mother is busy!" At dinner in the evening, just mention the matter to her again. ”
Neither Yi Mo nor Le Er thought that Cheng would disagree with this matter, so they had no opinion on Ruan's suggestion.
The next day, when Xiaohua came to ask Le'er for instructions.
Le'er suddenly thought that she hadn't gone out to play for many days, so she asked Xiaohua to wait and ran to Xiwei Courtyard by herself.
pulled the reluctant Yimo, and accompanied Xiaohua and Granny Gu out together.
Xiaohua and Granny Gu both looked grateful and said, "Please let the two young ladies accompany us for a trip." ”
Le'er waved her hand and said indifferently, "It's okay, anyway, we have nothing to do at home." ”
Yi Mo glanced at Le'er, too lazy to refute.
She felt that there was no need to join in such a lively scene, mainly because people were going to worship their mother, and their relationship was not very close, so it was inappropriate to follow them rashly.
Moreover, Xiaohua's ancestors and grandchildren now live in the General's Mansion, and it is difficult to get out of the mansion.
Especially Xiaohua, there must be a lot to say when she sees her mother.
The two of them followed beside them, and the little flower bundle was tied up and was embarrassed to say anything at all.
A piece of kindness has become an unbeautiful thing.
So when it was almost time, Yimo pulled Le'er and said to Xiaohua and Granny Gu, "We are waiting for you here, and you can go by yourself!" Cry out for anything, and they will follow you. ”
Granny Gu and Xiaohua hurriedly said, "No need, let them protect the two young ladies!" ”
Le'er smiled and pointed at Nanzhen and Luoxia, and said, "With them following us, it'll be fine, you guys go!" We're just going around here. ”
Ancient mother-in-law and Xiaohua insight
Granny Gu and Xiaohua had seen Luoxia and Nanzhen make a move, so they didn't persuade much, thanked them for a few words, and went directly to Xiaohuaniang's grave.
Le'er grabbed Yimo's arm and said, "The scenery here is pretty good!" It's a treasure of feng shui, I was sitting in a carriage before, and there seemed to be a stream over there, so let's go and take a look. ”
Yimo and Le'er came to the two of them, and they were supposed to go green.
Naturally, where the scenery is good, you will drill there.
When she arrived at the stream, Le'er immediately ran over, bent down to pick up the stream, looked back and smiled, "Wow, the water is so cold!" Come on. ”
Yimo frowned and said, "You still go to play when the water is cold, I remember that it will be your little day in a few days!" ”
As Yi Mo spoke, his eyes fell on Nanzhen.
Nam Jin nodded affirmatively.
Yimo immediately glanced at Nanzhen and said, "Hurry up and drive her back, she is not in good health, and she dares to play in the stream at this time, she is impatient!" ”
Nanzhen obediently stepped forward and pulled Le'er away from the stream.
Le'er took the handkerchief handed by Nanzhen, wiped her hands and said, "Whose maid are you!" ”
Nan Zhen didn't answer, but said: "The white girl is thinking about the young lady's body, and the slave maid naturally wants to listen to her." ”
Le'er pursed her lips and said to Yimo: "Actually, I should be in good health now!" In the past two months, I didn't feel any discomfort. ”
Yi Mo sneered and said, "Then you can play cold and try it after stopping the medicine!" ”
Le'er said embarrassedly: "Then forget it!" ”
Nanzhen saw that Le'er looked like she wanted to go into the water, so she asked, "Does Miss want to catch fish and grill it to eat?" ”
Le'er patted Nanzhen on the shoulder and said, "You still know my heart best." ”
Nan Zhen smiled and said to Luo Xia: "Please take care of the two young ladies, I will go into the water to catch fish." ”
"Hmm!" Luo Xia responded lightly.
Nanzhen looked left and right, found a branch, took off her shoes and socks and went into the water.
Looking at Nan Zhen's skillful movements, Yi Mo teased: "It seems that you have brought Nan Zhen out to mess around before!" ”
Le'er smiled and asked, "What is nonsense!" ”
After that, he instructed Luo Xia: "You go and pick up some dead branches, and you will make a fire in a while." ”
Luo Xia looked around, and the wind was calm.
I also thought that the dark place was protected by the rising sun and the bright moon, but it was also safe.
This time, after leaving the city, he left the two secret guards to Yimo.
So, without saying a word, I walked towards the grove.
Not long after, a series of slight noises suddenly sounded around him, followed by dozens of black-clothed people suddenly appeared.
They spoke with an exotic accent and asked jerkyly, "Are you the ladies of the General's Mansion?" ”
Le Er was very quick in this matter anyway, pinched Yi Mo, and replied calmly: "No, we are from Li Yuan's family." ”
Fortunately, because of the little flower sacrifice to their mother, they went out with them and dressed very elegantly.
"I still want to quibble, we followed you all the way out of the General's Mansion and captured them alive, I don't believe it, and I can't stop the retreat."
Seeing that she couldn't pretend anymore, Le'er asked loudly: "You are from the Southern Song Dynasty." ”
Listening to their accents, it's true that they are not Kyoto people.
But the farthest place Le'er has been to is Xinghua Village, and they don't talk like the people in Xinghua Village.
In addition, Xinghua Village is only a day's journey from Kyoto, and the accent is basically the same.
You will guess that these black-clothed people are from the Southern Song Dynasty, just because they mentioned renunciation.
When the man in black appeared, Nanzhen had already gone ashore, with a pair of wet feet on her shoes.
Just when he wanted to break into Le'er's side, he was stopped by the man in black, and the two quickly fought.
For these black-clothed people, Nanzhen's skills are simply hitting a stone with an egg, but after a few moves, they were beaten to the ground by the black-clothed man.
Seeing that the man in black was about to stab Nanzhen's body with a sword, Le Er shouted bitterly: "Stop, otherwise, I will bite my tongue and kill myself now, let you run for nothing, and see what you threaten people with." ”
The man who had just spoken to Le'er was obviously the leader, and he raised his hand.
The man in black who was fighting against Nan Zhen put away his long sword and kicked it towards Nan Zhen with a kick instead.
Nam Jin was kicked several meters away, then spat out blood, and passed out with her head tilted.
"Come with us honestly, so as not to suffer from the flesh and skin, otherwise it will ......" The man in black in the lead spoke menacingly.
Le'er said very righteously: "I am the eldest lady of the General's Mansion, I will go with you, she is just a friend of mine, not a person from our General's Mansion, you let her go." ”
With a gloomy smile, the man in black said, "At this time, I even thought about lying, and I came and tied them up directly." ”
When the man in black hugged Yi Mo and the two, the four men in the power suit jumped down and protected the two of them, while Luo Xia, who had not gone far on the other side, had already turned back when he heard the voice.
Since she knew about the secret guards, she never acted rashly.
This will take advantage of the fact that the man in black was attracted by the four people of the rising sun, and she decisively killed one of them and returned to Emo's side.
"Girl, are you alright?" Luoxia asked while on guard.
Yimo's face turned pale and said, "It's okay! ”
Then he pretended to be strong and untied the long whip on his waist, and instantly ripped off the purse and handed it to Luoxia.
Luo Xia knew the effect of the medicine, and without thinking about it, she fell on her soft sword, and when she was about to give it to the four of the Rising Sun, the opposite side took the lead and had something.
"Toast and don't eat and drink, kill them for me."
The man in black gave an order, and more than a dozen people in black rushed up.
The four of the Rising Sun plus the setting summer, the difficult ones are surrounded by Momo and Le'er in the middle.
Although these five people are all first-class, they can't leave any flaws in one against two
In the case of being able to leave a flaw to expose the person behind him, it is inevitable that he will look constrained.
On the other side, a carriage was parked not far away, and a man dressed in a long suit stood beside the carriage from far and near, and whispered.
"Master, Miss Li is surrounded by a group of black-clothed people, they have four secret guards, and a maid beside her has extremely high martial arts, and she is temporarily tied with those black-clothed people, and there is no danger to her life at present."
The man lowered his eyes, played with the teacup in his hand, and said indifferently, "Explore again." ”
"Yes!" Chang Sui immediately turned back again.
And the man in the carriage raised his face at this time, and it was the same person who appeared on the picture scroll that day.
Mu Zitang of the county king's mansion.
At the same time, a horse-drawn carriage also drove on another road.
There were two people in the car, except for the little guy who was in a hurry, and the master of the carriage.
I only heard the little maid complain dissatisfiedly: "Young master, since you are not happy to marry your cousin, you have come all the way to see what she is doing?" ”
The man said with disdain: "Miss Jiao like my cousin, I can't stand it, I feel that I have to take three breaths when I take a step, and I am afraid that if I can't lift it in the next breath, I will hang up." ”
The little maid pursed his lips and said, "It's not that the young master hasn't seen her cousin, she has always been like this, you don't like it, why do you want to agree to Madame to visit your cousin." ”
The man said casually: "On my aunt's birthday, I went to see my aunt instead of my mother, but I didn't go to see my cousin." ”
The little guy opened his mouth and wanted to say a few more words.
The man's face changed slightly, and he asked teasingly: "Xiao Wu, are you my little girl, or my mother's eyeliner!" ”
Xiao Wu cried with a sad face and explained: "The young master doesn't know, the slave Lao Tzu Niang is on an errand by the side of the lady, and the lady is worried about the young master's marriage every day, you don't want to marry a wife, and the slave is so tired that the slave is scolded by Lao Tzu Niang every day." ”
"I'm really embarrassed for you!" The man smiled heartily.
He stepped out of the carriage and sat directly beside Xiao Wu.
The two talked and laughed, and got closer and closer to the place where Yimo and the others were besieged.
At this moment, the man's face changed, and he suddenly snatched the whip and whipped the horse a few times, and the horse was in pain, and ran faster, and stopped in front of them in an instant.
And the man's position was facing Yi Mo and them, and as soon as he raised his eyes, he saw Le'er in the middle with a tense face and a slightly pale face.
Immediately squinted, jumped out of the carriage carelessly, and said, "What a coincidence! I didn't expect to see such a lively place like this. ”
Le Er looked over when she heard the sound, recognized the man at a glance, and shouted: "Wen Yang!" ”
Wen Yang smiled happily, grinned, and asked with a happy look: "Do you still remember the eldest lady!" ”
"Of course, you've complimented me." Le'er spoke her heart as a matter of course.
Wen Yang was stunned, and the people around him were also dumbfounded.
Yi Mo squeezed Yi Mo, raised his voice and said to Wen Yang: "I am tired of Wen Gongzi to help, these people in black have no clear background, but they want to catch me and Le'er and threaten my brother." ”
Wen Yang smiled, thought a lot in his mind for a moment, and asked coldly, "Who is coming?" ”
The man in black shouted: "If it's fatal, get out of here." ”
Right now, except for Yi Mo and Le'er, who can draw out their gods and Wen Yang to speak, the rest of them are all tense and wielding weapons.
Although the Rising Sun took the opportunity to kill the other four people, they did not please them, and two of them were injured in the middle, and they all looked a little tired.
In the long run, it will also be very detrimental to them.
As soon as Wen Yang heard the man speak, he immediately narrowed his eyes and said, "Southern Song Dynasty people! ”
Yimo and Le'er glanced at each other, and the word sure was written in each other's eyes.
Le'er was even more annoyed and scolded: "You Southern Song Dynasty people are really shameless, you provoked a war by yourself, and now you can't win against my second brother, and you are ready to use such despicable means to deal with us." ”
The man in black saw that Wen Yang had made up his mind to take care of this matter, so he became more and more vicious.
Wen Yang didn't think about it, drew out his portable sword, and joined the battle.
And his entourage is a martial artist, although his martial arts are not as strong as Wen Yang's, but he has also practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he can at least entangle himself for a while if he fights an assassin one-on-one.
In an instant, the popularity of the battle situation was reversed, although Wen Yang did not join the army at the moment, his ambition has always been to protect his family and defend the country, so when he made a move, he did not forget to mention the five people who left Xu.
"Keep your mouth alive."
When encountering this kind of assassin, if you don't find out who is behind it, it will be difficult to sleep.
Moreover, the matter involved the Southern Song Dynasty, and it was definitely necessary to report it to the emperor, so it was naturally necessary to leave the assassin for the emperor to interrogate.
Mu Zitang originally wanted to appear at the best time, maximize his interests, and let the general's mansion owe him a favor, but when he was about to appear, Wen Yang suddenly appeared out of thin air and broke this good thing.
From afar, he watched this battle, his eyes were cracked, and he wanted to kill Wen Yang.
The fist he clenched tightly, and after a long time, he slowly let go, and commanded softly, "Go home." ”
On the other side, the battlefield is over.
The man in black had a poison hidden in his teeth, and when he saw that he couldn't escape, he directly bit the poison and killed him on the spot.
Looking at the corpses all over the ground, Yimo and Le'er both felt a little uncomfortable.
Thinking of the line between life and death just now, his face turned slightly pale.
Wen Yang frowned and said to Le'er: "This matter may not only involve your general's mansion, so I have to notify the yamen to investigate this matter thoroughly." ”
Le'er said without an opinion: "Hmm! Find out as soon as possible, if it is really from the Southern Song Dynasty, I will definitely write to my second brother and ask him to beat the Southern Song Dynasty fiercely. ”
Wen Yang saw that Le Er had nothing unusual except for her face being a little pale.
Then he said, "I'll leave it to us here, and you've been surprised a lot, so let's go home first!" ”
Rising Sun stepped forward and arched his hand and said, "Just trouble Gongzi Wen for a while, after we escort the two young ladies back to the house, we will immediately go to the yamen to report the case, and ask them to send someone over immediately." ”
Wen Yang originally wanted Xiao Wu to run, but he stayed here alone to guard the corpse.
Seeing that the rising sun said this, he responded directly: "Okay! Let them come over immediately. ”
"Hmm!" Rising Sun replied, thought for a while, and said: "Today's kindness of Young Master Wen, Rising Sun will remember it in his heart, and he will tell my master the truth of the matter." ”
Wen Yang waved his hand nonchalantly, signaling that the rising sun didn't need to say these polite words.
Le'er and Luo Xia worked together to help Nan Zhen who was in a coma into the carriage, and then looked back and said to Wen Yang: "Thank you for what happened just now, you can invite you out to eat another day." ”
"Okay!" Wen Yang has a good feeling for Le'er.
I think this little girl is very generous, very pleasing.
Yimo and Le'er and their entourage returned to the general's mansion first, and Xuri took the token of leaving the cultivation and went to the yamen to report the case in person.
Yimo didn't go back to Xiwei Courtyard, but went to Huafangyuan, and when he entered the house, he asked the maid to inform Cheng, so the two sat down, and as soon as they drank a cup of Dingjing tea, Cheng hurried out.
