Chapter 249: Love
"Father, be careful." Mu Yunting rushed towards Mu Changyuan without thinking, and quickly dragged him off the horse, and dozens of cold arrows shot into the air.
In an instant, several black-clothed people jumped out with swords, surrounded the two of them, and without saying a word, they slashed with their swords, Mu Yunting waved his sword to meet the battle, and asked sharply: "Who are you?" Do you dare to sneak attack the imperial court officials here, don't you want to die? ”
"Mu Yunting, if you are captured, maybe our lord can spare your life, and your father will be safe and sound." The leader sneered, "If you insist on resisting, then today next year will be the death day of your father and son!" ”
"Don't talk nonsense, whose death day may not be known!" As soon as Mu Yunting heard this person say that it was the Lord, he understood a little in his heart, except for the people of the Canglang Society, who else would call his leader the Lord, Situ Kong really held a grudge against himself and wanted to kill him......
In public and private, he and Situ Kong already have an enmity against each other.
Played a few rounds.
The other party was obviously defeated by the fierce attacks of the father and son, and gradually lost the battle, and finally fled in all directions.
Then, a figure quietly floated in front of the two, slowly unveiled his face, revealing a familiar face, which had not been seen for many days, this face was a little more haggard, a little more wooden.
The father and son looked stunned.
Mu Changyuan subconsciously straightened his clothes, stepped forward with a complicated mood, and called, "Cui'er." ”
Mu Yunting quietly put away the scabbard, looked at her coldly, wanted to say something but didn't say anything, just continued to look at her silently.
All the time. He had never regarded this woman as a slave, but as his closest person, but now, this woman had become his enemy, and he wanted to kill him, and he had no heir......
"Shizi!" Cui Gu crossed Mu Changyuan, walked straight towards Mu Yunting, bent her knees, and said expressionlessly, "Cui Gu is sorry for you. ”
"You're here to kill me again, aren't you?" Mu Yunting asked coldly. "How much benefit Situ Kong has given you. So that you can kill me repeatedly without hesitation? ”
"Cui'er, as long as you are willing to leave the Canglang Society, we will definitely abandon your previous suspicions and let you return to Mufu." Mu Changyuan said movingly, "We shouldn't have made a fuss like this in the first place. ”
"Sir. I can't go back. Back then, when the old marquis Mu led someone to copy my Jiang family. Cause and effect are planted, and the Jiang family and the Mu family are destined to be incompatible. Cui Gu smiled sadly, "Although my Jiang family is in the same lineage, it is a crime to fill the army. But they all died in exile, leaving me alone in this world, but I never dreamed that I would go to the enemy's house by mistake to be a slave and a maid, how could I be willing? How can you not hate? ”
"Cui'er, you're confused!" Mu Changyuan suddenly realized and said, "Back then, my father was just following orders, not out of personal will, you hate the Mu family, it really makes no sense!" ”
"I not only hate the Mu family, but also hate you so-called nobles of the dynasty, I really don't understand, where can we come from the previous dynasty not get into your eyes, you have to kill them all, so I hate each and every one of you." The more Cui Gu spoke, the more excited she became, "It's a pity that I knew it too late, if I had known this earlier, your Mu Mansion would have been shattered a long time ago, and I wouldn't have to wait until today." ”
"So, for the sake of hatred, even I have to kill them all, right?" Mu Yunting looked at her expressionlessly.
"Yes, so let's break it off today!" Cui Gu slowly took the sword in front of Mu Yunting, and said coldly, "Shizi, make a move!" ”
"Cui'er, you have hatred in your heart, even if you come to me, the father and son will repay the debt, and the hatred between the Jiang family and the Mu family will not be his turn." Mu Changyuan stepped forward to block in front of Mu Yunting, but Mu Yunting stretched out his hand to block him, Mu Yunting said indifferently, "Father, if she hurts you, I won't let her, it's better to come directly at me." As he spoke, he looked at Cuigu coldly, "For the sake of the old love, I will let you make three moves, you can do it!" ”
Cui Gu gritted her teeth and stabbed with her sword.
Mu Yunting dodged and didn't fight back.
Mu Changyuan really couldn't stand it anymore, so he stepped forward and said coldly: "Since you are so ruthless, then our father and son will make a break with you." ”
A cold arrow suddenly roared from behind Mu Yunting.
Cui Gu didn't think about it, and pounced on Mu Yunting: "Shizi be careful. ”
When the father and son came back to their senses, they found that Cuigu had fallen into a pool of blood, and a cold arrow was inserted into her back, staining her emerald dress with blood, Mu Yunting hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, and shouted, "Cuigu, how are you?" ”
Mu Changyuan got up angrily, and at a glance he caught a glimpse of a figure shaking in the bushes not far away, and angrily raised his sword and chased after him.
"Shizi......" Cuigu looked at him with a pale face and smiled sadly, "Shizi, the slave has never thought of harming the world. ”
"I know you can't do it." Mu Yunting hugged her and said softly, "Aunt Cui, let him pass the previous things!" Grandfather didn't mean it back then, why are you so tired of living, go, I'll take you back to the house and find a doctor to treat your injuries. "It is not worth it to waste a lifetime for hatred.
"No, Shizi, you let me rest here for a while, I'm a doctor, I know my injuries, it's okay!" Cui Gu smiled reluctantly and said: "Shizi, the Canglang Society is not as evil as you imagined, they are actually some persecuted and miserable people, I hope the court can treat them well in the future, and don't kill them all again." ”
"Don't worry, the matter of the Canglang Society has passed, in fact, the imperial court had no intention of going against the Canglang Society, but it was just a misunderstanding by mistake." Mu Yunting took out a handkerchief, gently wiped the blood oozing from the corner of her mouth for her, and said in a deep voice, "Aunt Cui, it was Situ Kong's ambition that was too ambitious and intended to rebel, so that the imperial court thought that Canglang would mean so." ”
"The prince is right, Situ Kong's power in the Western Regions is getting bigger and bigger, and he has the posture to replace His Royal Highness Ubu, and the imperial court can't help but guard against it." Cui Gu felt that her breathing was becoming more and more difficult, and she mustered her strength and said, "Shizi." There is one thing that the slave has been hiding from the world, and the child of the crazy woman in the house is actually the fourth prince Huang Fu Zhuo. ”
"What? You said that the biological mother of the fourth prince was the crazy woman on the back mountain? Mu Yunting was shocked.
"Yes, yes, except for me and Cheng Yan, no one else knows, not even the emperor." Cui Gu smiled tiredly, and saw that Mu Yunting's face was becoming more and more blurred, so she simply closed her eyes and rested for a while. It seems to have remembered something. Hurriedly took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, handed it to him, and said, "The slave maid poisoned the spring water in Mufu. That's why the eldest young lady and the second young lady were infertile. Slaves deserve to die. This, this is the antidote, Shizi. To forgive the slave this time......"
Mu Yunting frowned, took the porcelain vase, and smiled reluctantly: "Aunt Cui, don't blame yourself, the second young lady has been pregnant for more than a month." ”
Cheng Yan is the Empress Dowager's person, does the Empress Dowager also know?
"Great, slave and maid, congratulations to the son, if the lady knows underground and knows that she has a grandson, how happy she will be!" A hint of a smile appeared on Cuigu's pale face, her lips trembled, she slowly raised her hand to caress his young and handsome face, and said weakly, "There is a successor to the son, slave maid, slave maid and maid have no regrets......
"Aunt Cui, when Li Niang gives birth to a child, you will help us take care of the child, okay?" Mu Yunting grabbed his hand, felt the coolness in his hand, knew that she was no longer good, and said with grief, "You not only know medical skills, but also can cook, and your skills are also good, we will hand over the child to you to bring, it is the most suitable." ”
"Thank you Shizi for being willing to hand over the child to the slave maid, the slave is really happy, it's just, it's just that the slave is going to disappoint the son, I, I ......" Cui Gu breathed sharply, "I want to go back to Maple Town, please send me back to Maple Town......" she said, her hand hanging weakly.
She was born in Maple Leaf Town, and she will return to Maple Leaf Town when she dies.
In mid-air, a few white clouds floated leisurely.
The wind swept low across the treetops, making a rustling sound.
"Aunt Cui!" Mu Yunting got up slowly, knelt down beside her, tears also burst out of his eyes, Mu Changyuan hurriedly returned with his sword, seeing this scene, the sword in his hand fell to the ground with a clang, and he stood there in a daze, his mind was full of the innocent smile of the woman who picked up flowers under the tree back then......
As soon as the news of the attack on the Mu family's father and son on the way to the court spread, the court was shocked, and people were panicked for a while.
At the same time, some people inevitably questioned the Beijing Defense Battalion, the Beijing Defense Battalion was originally to guard the safety of the capital, why did these fanatics sneak into the capital as if they were in a no-man's land?
Xia Yunchu was very aggrieved about this.
it!
The bad guy doesn't have a bad guy written on his face, how does he know which one is the bad guy and which one isn't?
Besides, there are so many people who come and go in and out of the capital every day, can he investigate everyone?
But in the face of the courtiers' accusations, he couldn't say anything, just bowed his head and said nothing.
Angry, Xia Yan snorted coldly: "You have no evidence, why do you say that those people are from the Western Regions? I think this matter is mostly revenge for personal gain, otherwise how could that Cuigu die at the scene? Who knows what the hell is going on? ”
Do you want to put the blame for the lax gatekeeping on their father and son?
There are no doors!
"How do you know we're unfounded?" Seeing Xia Yan's gloating appearance, Mu Changyuan was furious, and simply threw the arrow in his hand in front of him, and said coldly, "Take a good look, what is this?" This is clearly a cold arrow shot by the ancient spirit bow of the Western Regions, looking at the beam, who can use such an arrow? ”
The ancient spirit bow is suitable for shooting immediately, and the range is extremely long, and it requires strong arm strength to pull it away, which is the favorite of the people of the Western Regions, and the girder is usually the extremely light long moon bow, the long moon bow does not need strong arm strength, and ordinary people can pull it away lightly.
The ministers nodded yes.
It seems that these people were indeed sent from the Western Regions, not because of personal matters, but mostly to take revenge on the Mu family's father and son for the last time the envoys entered the country.
It's just that they are very puzzled that Cuigu died at the scene.
In this regard, Mu Changyuan explained: "At that time, Aunt Cui was killed by an arrow in order to save Mu Yunting, so Mu Yunting had to take leave to personally send her coffin back to her hometown. ”
He hated that he hadn't caught up with the man who had released the arrow, otherwise, he would have to explain to these people here for a long time.
"As far as I know, Aunt Cui left Mu Mansion a few months ago and is missing, and it is really a coincidence that she suddenly appeared today to save Mu Yunting, right?" Xia Yan said reluctantly, "I see that Cui Gu was also sent by the Western Regions to assassinate Mu Yunting, and who knows what close connection your Mu Mansion has with the Western Regions." ”
The ministers whispered again.
"Grandpa Guo, you keep asking others for evidence, so let me ask you, what evidence do you have to prove that Cui Gu was sent from the Western Regions?" Mu Changyuan asked coldly.
Huang Funuo was very troubled by their quarrel, so he simply ordered: "Okay, don't quarrel, from today onwards, the Beijing defense side will strengthen inspections, find suspicious people, etc., and take it down immediately, and definitely don't let those fanatics enter Beijing to do evil." ”
As he spoke, he looked at Huang Fu Jin, the prince of the King of Jin, who was standing silent, and said casually: "Shizi, the inspection of the capital city will be handed over to you, you must fulfill your duties, and you must not let such things happen again." ”
"Commandment." Huangfu Jin hurriedly stepped forward with an expressionless face and received the order.
Cuigu's death didn't seem to have caused any shock to Mufu.
Su Shi knew that Mu Changyuan had been obsessed with Cui Gu all these years, and he was already very disgusted with her, but when he heard the news of her death, he naturally did not feel any sadness, but felt a sense of relief in his heart, is this retribution?
The others didn't react at all.
That woman stays in Qingxin Garden all day to fiddle with medicinal herbs, the door is not out, the second door is not stepping, and there is no intersection with them on weekdays, but occasionally there is a headache and brain fever to see her, she also ignores it, there seems to be no difference between having this person and not having this person.
However, Shen Qingli sighed very much.
Although she doesn't have a good impression of Cuigu, it is this person who has caused her to not be able to conceive a child for so long, but from Mu Yunting's side, Cuigu not only brought him up, but also his savior, of course, it can be regarded as her savior, if Mu Yunting has any mistakes, then how should she live her life in the future......
Right now, Mu Yunting escorted Cuigu's coffin to Maple Leaf Town alone, and it was inconvenient for her to follow her, so she had to consciously change into plain clothes, sit in the house and copy the scriptures and burn them to her, in addition, she didn't know how to express her complicated feelings for Cuigu.
Three days later, Mu Yunting came back from Maple Leaf Town.
Unexpectedly, Huangfu Zhuo's carriage was already at the gate of Mu Mansion, and as soon as he saw Mu Yunting, Huang Fu Zhuo stepped forward and said mysteriously: "Master Mu, I know who the person who attacked you is!" (To be continued......)
