Chapter Ninety-Seven: Just a Chess Piece
Back in the room, Mu Yu breathed a long sigh of relief, fortunately she has a change of appearance every day, just waiting for such a day, now those people should rest assured, the corners of her slightly pale mouth overflowed with a wry smile.
"Rang Yin, is Master Ye gone?" She removed the mask from her face and leaned lightly against the head of the bed.
"No, Master Ye went to the kitchen to decoct the medicine." Lang Yin covered her with a quilt and handed her water.
"You and the cut painting clean up the yard, just go down to rest, you've worked hard these days!" She took two sips of water and handed the cup back to Rangyin.
"Concubine Lin is polite, this is what a slave should do!" She glanced at Ling Shuang and the woman in purple who walked in from outside the house, and after changing the tea, she retreated.
"Miss, are you alright?" Ling Shuang walked to the side of the bed in a few steps and asked with concern, holding back for a long time, and finally asked what was in her heart.
"Silly girl, am I not good?" She was somewhat unaccustomed to not having Ling Shuang by her side for the past two days, but she was worried about her safety, and she was very comforted to see that she not only came back safely, but also brought people here.
"The snow fox is late to rescue, please punish the young lady!" The woman in purple took a step forward, half-knelt in front of the herd, and said with a sad face.
Unlike Ling Shuang's personal rings, except for the Snow Shadow, all the guards in the villa must abide by etiquette, and managing the guards with military discipline has always been the rule of the "Snow Villa".
"Get up! It's not your fault, it's my own carelessness! Tell me how you got down? Did the old man ask you to come? "Since Snow Shadow and Ling Shuang came, the guards of the mountain villa who had infiltrated the capital before had all withdrawn, and now that they saw the snow fox, Mu Yu was already excited, and the question that he had been thinking about for many days would finally have an answer.
Snow Fox got up slowly, but there was still a look of self-blame on his face, and he said gloomily: "About half a month ago, Hua Lao received a letter from Snow Shadow, saying that Miss was unintentionally involved in the battle for imperial power in order to find out her background, and she was afraid that it would be dangerous, so he quickly sent someone down the mountain to reinforce him......"
"Snow Shadow?!" Ling Shuang asked in surprise.
Snow Fox looked at her reaction strangely: "Yes, don't you know about this?" ”
"Of course I do! Frost, you go and guard the door, Snow Fox, you continue. The pastor spoke up to intercept her questioning.
Ling Shuang's face turned red and she retreated, and Snow Fox continued: "Hua Lao was concerned about the safety of Miss, so he immediately ordered me to bring people into Beijing to help. Who knew that before I could get in touch with you when I first entered the capital, I heard a rumor that the pastoral son of Jishitang was missing. Shocked, I sent someone to inquire about the situation, confirmed that the rumors were true, and successfully obtained the location where you were being held. Although we rushed as fast as we could, it was still a step too late for the lady to suffer so much. Subordinates are really damned! Looking at the stiff legs under the silk quilt, Snow Fox really blamed himself.
"It's just a skin injury, and it's fine after two months of rest. Thanks to your timely arrival, I don't know what would have happened. That carriage was also specially left by you! It's great to be able to do this in such a short period of time! Don't blame yourself! ”
"Shame on your subordinates!"
"Since you came down the mountain to look for me, why didn't you take the initiative to contact us afterwards?"
"That day, because I was bent on saving Miss, I didn't have time to think about many things, and then I realized that things were not so simple, maybe someone was investigating our details, in order to avoid unwarranted exposure, my subordinates decided to find the right time in secret."
"What do you mean by that?" It's not that she hasn't thought about some things, it's just that there are emotions in her subconscious that prevent her from recognizing such facts.
"We were ambushed while retreating, and the other side set up an ambush on the way we had to go, so we should have come prepared. In short, the subordinates feel that someone is deliberately using Miss to lure us out. ”
"You were ambushed? So what's going on? Is there a ......" The pastoral rumor's heart was a little flustered, not only because he was worried about their safety, but also because he was afraid of the truth that was gradually emerging.
"Miss don't be nervous, although they came prepared, but because they were not familiar with our martial arts path, we easily broke out of the encirclement. It's just ......" Snow Fox's face was slightly solemn.
"Just what?"
"Da Yuan, who was in charge of setting up the carriage for the young lady, never returned, and the men sent out to find him picked up half of his waist plate in the forest where we were ambushed."
"He's been robbed!" Mu Yuxiu's brows furrowed.
This is not a question, because she knows that the guards of the "Yuxue Mountain Villa" have a waist card that symbolizes their identity, and the appearance of this waist card is similar to the hexagonal hidden weapon, which can be divided into two, if there is an accidental death in the action, the whole waist card will be issued when it is dying, and if it is just captured, it will be broken in half, which can be used as a hidden weapon for the last fight, and can also be used to convey their own life and death information.
"Yes! So I don't think it will be the Prince's people who ambush us. If it is an ambush set by the prince, it will definitely be a killer, and from their actions, it seems that this person behind the scenes does not intend to take our sexual life, but wants to obtain some information through us. Snow Fox calmly analyzed.
Certainly not the prince! The prince's men did not have this calculation.
Quietly arrange the troops, and then use their own lives to lure the enemy, turning a passive situation into an active one. Resourceful, calm and bold, who else would this man be if he wasn't him?
Although he guessed that in this matter, she was just a pawn he used, but when he really had to face the truth, he was not as calm as he imagined.
The image of the correction who broke into the door at the critical moment still appeared in front of her, and her trembling hands hugged her tightly seemed to still have touch temperature, "Live together, die together!" The words still rang in my ears......
She thought that the love between them was real, and several tribulations of life and death made her choose to believe that there was a different kind of fateful friendship between them, but she didn't want all this to be just a game after all, and the chess pieces were just chess pieces.
"Miss, are you alright?" Snow Fox Feng asked with a very bad face and a lonely expression.
"It's okay, don't check about Da Yuan's matter first, be careful to expose it, I'll try to deal with it." How many of you are here this time? Where to settle down now? Mu Yu suppressed the melancholy in his heart and continued to ask.
"With Dayuan, we are a total of eighteen people, dressed as different people and living in different inns."
Mu Yu glanced at her ordinary face, thought for a moment and said: "There are so many people in the capital during this time, you can temporarily lurk in the way before, and in a few days I will let Ling Shuang go to Nishang to pick up clothes, and I will give you a new arrangement at that time." ”
"Yes, everything is at the behest of the young lady!"
"Okay, you go back first, it will attract suspicion after a long time."
"Subordinates obey! But ......" Snow Fox had a look of concern in his eyes, but he hesitated whether to say it or not.
"What else?"
"My subordinates are very worried about Miss's current situation!" Thinking of those women today, I am angry, the young lady has always been mild-mannered, if she lives with these people, she will be bullied.
Mu Yu knew what she wanted to say, lowered her eyes slightly, and sighed lightly: "I have my own purpose in marrying Situ Yu, unlike those women in the house, I have no feelings for him and only use each other, so you don't have to worry." ”
"Master Ye, have you boiled the medicine so quickly?" Ling Shuang's voice rang out outside the door.
Mu Yu nodded to Snow Fox.
Snow Fox had no choice but to salute with his hands in fists and retreat, turn around and open the door.
"Shuang'er, you send Sister Hu." The sound of the pastoral rumor reached the house.
"Yes!" Ling Shuang deliberately asked the snow fox in a loud voice, "Is the size measured?" ”
"It's measured! I'm so embarrassed that I have to bother the girl to send me out. ”
Snow Fox saw that Ye Chao had already walked up the steps with the medicine bowl in his hand, and his inquiring eyes had been falling on him, and he wanted to give him a fierce look, but he was afraid of extraneous branches, so he had to lower his eyelids and salute him: "Steward Ye!" ”
"Well, do it according to Concubine Lin's request, and you will be rewarded for doing a good job!" Ye Chao always felt that the woman in front of him had a face that was extremely inconsistent with her temperament.
"Steward Ye can rest assured, not to mention the reward, it is for the signboard of our 'neon dress', and we have to do it according to the requirements of the customer, right?"
Ye Chao smiled and nodded, and Ling Shuang took the snow fox away.
Entering the house, Ye Chao handed the medicine bowl to Mu Yu: "The temperature is just right, hurry up and take it!" ”
Mu Yu took the medicine bowl, looked at the black decoction, and his eyes flashed: "This medicine has cost Master Ye a lot of heart!" ”
"As long as Concubine Lin recovers as soon as possible, Ye Chao's dim sum is worth it!"
"Does the prince still not want to see me?" Looking at Ye Chao with a sincere face, what happened next made her a little unable to do anything.
"It's not that the prince doesn't want to come, but he's really busy with affairs and can't spare time." In the face of her burning gaze, he looked away with some weakness.
"Really?" She sneered, his dodge giving her determination.
"Bang dang!" With a bang, celadon shards and medicinal juices splashed on the ground.
Ye Chao looked up at her suddenly: "What are you doing here?" ”
