"What Master Cen said is reasonable." Indeed, she had seen this kind of thing once when she was a child, but the person's martial arts were not as high as this one's, so she was easily unarmed by her father and sent back to the country with a lot of flowers.

Cen Wei wiped his hands after the two injured people, and looked at Sima Ming scrutinically: "Master Hou really doesn't know martial arts?" ”

"Hmm." Sima Ming nodded.

Cen Wei sighed: "That's a pity, the old marquis's martial arts are among the best in the world, and his prestige runs through the two continents, why don't you pass on your kung fu to you?" ”

"Maybe it's just too late." After all, her father rarely came back once after being away all year round, and he was sick suddenly, so he couldn't teach her at all.

Cen Wei nodded, not silent.

Cang Xuan said: "This person shouldn't be so simple as sneaking in. ”

Being reminded by him, Sima Ming suddenly thought of something: "This person has been lurking in the Hou Mansion for at least two years, and it is indeed not simple. ”

"That's not what I'm talking about."

"Huh?" Sima Ming looked at Cang Xuan suspiciously.

Cang Xuan was just about to speak, when suddenly Xing'er hurriedly walked in: "Master Hou, how is Madame, I heard that someone just came to assassinate Madame." ”

Sima Ming stepped forward and helped Xing'er and said, "Aunt Xing, why did you come out, I heard that your health has not been good these days." ”

Xing'er was helped by Sima Ming to sit down on the side, her face haggard, "I heard that Mrs. was assassinated, and I couldn't rest assured, so I came to see it, is Mrs. injured?" ”

"Mother is fine."

Xing'er murmured: "That's good, that's good, if something really happens to Madame, if I die, how can I have the face to go to Huangquan to see the old marquis?" ”

Sima Ming looked at Xing'er, who was crying, and said comfortingly: "Aunt Xing, what does this matter have to do with you, my father knows and won't blame you." ”

That Xing'er was already in poor health, and she was a little out of breath when she cried, so Sima Ming hurriedly asked Xing'er to send her back when she saw this.

After Sima Ming gave the order, he turned around, and saw that Cang Xuan was looking at the door, and tapped Cang Xuan's face with his hand, and when he saw that he came back to his senses, he said with a smile: "Etiquette is still exchanged." ”

Cang Xuan suddenly remembered the reason for this "courtesy exchange", the last time he saw her in a daze when he was sick, he poked her forehead with his finger like this, but he didn't expect her to remember it today, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Hou Ye still holds a grudge?" ”

"That's nature." Sima Ming looked at him with a provocative smile: "Brother Cangxuan, you'd better be cautious in your words and deeds in the future, otherwise I will definitely pay it back." ”

Cang Xuan chuckled: "But it's disrespectful." ”

Sima Ming suddenly remembered what Cang Xuan had interrupted by Xing'er before: "What did Brother Cang Xuan want to say?" ”

Cang Xuan continued with his previous words: "The person should have run away." ”

Sima Ming was a little surprised: "Why? Could it be that the man escaped from the house? ”

"When she fled, the guards had already blocked the Hou Mansion, and it was impossible for her to escape if she was injured, but that person was not simple, since she could lurk in the Hou Mansion for so many years without being noticed, it was easy for her to dodge through this level of search."

Sima Ming frowned: "If you miss this opportunity, I'm afraid it will be very troublesome to wait for her to appear again next time." ”

"Indeed, since she doesn't dare to come out again, then we will only lure her out in another way." Since you can't wait for the rabbit, you can only lure the snake out of the hole.

"Brother Cangxuan, is there a way to lure her out?" Sima Ming looked sideways at him and asked.

"It depends on whether Brother Sima dares to let me try." Cang Xuan looked at Sima Ming with a smile and said.

"I believe in you." Sima Ming looked at him and said, I believe you from the bottom of my heart.

"Then there will be Lao Hou Ye to help me set up an ambush, and I will lead the people."

Sima Ming remembered that so many people didn't catch that person today, so she had to plan well, if she let her run away again, it would be difficult to catch this person, "Okay." ”

"Ma'am, you're awake at last."

Ning Mu'er's voice suddenly came out of the inner room, Sima Ming hurriedly entered the inner room, and looked at Gu Qiutang, who was helped by Ning Mu'er to sit up, tears rolled in her eyes, but Sima Ming endured it and did not come out.

Gu Qiutang looked at Sima Min and Ning Mu'er, whose eyes were red, and his tone was very weak: "What are you two crying about, I'm fine." ”

Sima Ming looked at Gu Qiutang and asked, "Mother, are you hungry, I'll ask the kitchen to prepare something for you." ”

"Master Hou, I'll go talk to the kitchen, and you and Mrs. have a good chat." After speaking, Ning Mu'er walked out with joy.

Sima Ming sat on the edge of the bed and exchanged a few words with Gu Qiutang, only then did Gu Qiutang notice that there was another person in the room, and Gu Qiutang knew who this person was without asking: "This is the son of Cangxuan, I have heard Ming'er mention the prince of Cangxuan for a long time, but I have not been able to thank him in person." ”

Cang Xuan looked at Gu Qiutang and suddenly remembered that he had met that person in the palace many years ago, and said, "Madame, don't be polite. ”

"Although Ming'er has been idle all these years, it is rare to meet a like-minded bosom friend, and now I am relieved to see Cangxuan Gongzi." Gu Qiutang looked at Cang Xuan and finished with a smile, looking at Sima Ming and said; "Ming'er, you take Cangxuan Gongzi out, I'm a little tired."

Sima Ming responded softly, and helped Qiu Tang to lie down: "Mother, you have a good rest first, and I will come to see you later." ”

Gu Qiutang agreed, and then went to sleep.

The two had just come out of the room, and they were meeting with Gu Zhiqing, who had heard the news that Gu Qiutang had woken up, and rushed over: "Ming'er, my aunt is awake." ”

"I just woke up and my body was still very weak, so I rested." Sima Ming replied.

"It's good to wake up, and now you can rest assured." The big stone in his own heart also fell, and suddenly he remembered the most difficult thing at the moment: "The man has run away." ”

Although Cang Xuan had told her before that the person couldn't be caught, he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, and now he heard Gu Zhiqing's words in his heart, although he was a little disappointed, it was also a moment.

"Where did Gu Xiang chase people to?" Cang Xuan asked.

"We followed the bloodstains to an abandoned courtyard in the corner of the Hou Mansion, the bloodstains extended to the corner of the wall, it is estimated that she escaped from the mansion, but the strange thing is that I returned to thoroughly investigate whether there are few people in the mansion, except for Ran Er, who has been taken into custody, there is no one less at all, I suspect that the person is probably not from the mansion."

"Cousin, if that person wasn't from the mansion, how could he be so familiar with the environment in the mansion and know how to run away from the abandoned yard?"

Gu Zhiqing also felt that his suspicions were inappropriate, and said: "Is it possible, I have been to the Hou Mansion before, and I am not a servant in the mansion." ”

Sima Ming said: "It's not impossible, but if she is really the one who poisoned her mother, every time she leaves after poisoning, it will be really troublesome, and it will be easy to be exposed." ”

Gu Zhiqing was silent.

"Gu Xiangfang just said that it was along the bloodstains? Can you take me to see it? Cang Xuan asked.

"Okay." Gu Zhiqing nodded, stretched out his hand and said, "Young Master Cangxuan, please come here." ”
