"Knock-knock! Boom! Boom! Boom! In winter, the days are short and the nights are long, and the sky is still dark, but the streets are full of snow and ice, and the market vendors are already busy running for their livelihoods. As for the ancestral house of Wu Yingxiong in Shihu Hutong, it was even brighter, and I don't know how many soldiers of Wu Sangui's guards rushed in and out of the house, ghosts and wolves howled, and the tense and busy scene was even more lively than the big fence during the day.

"Haven't you found the whereabouts of the prince yet?" In the hall of the Wu family, Liu Xuanchu had a pair of red eyes, and the soldiers of Wu Sangui's army who rushed in to report the news asked in a roar. Seeing that the unlucky herald shook his head, Liu Xuanchu couldn't help but be furious and yelled, "Are you eating dry rice? Why haven't you found the whereabouts of the prince yet? Are our people in the capital organized? Let them search for the whereabouts of the son together! ”

"I asked Huangfu Baozhu not to use the intelligence network in the capital." At this time, Yao Qisheng, who was drinking tea next to him, interjected: "You can't just care about the head and the tail, the son of your Wu family has been captured, I don't know how many eyes are eyeing your Wu family in this capital, as long as Huangfu Baozhu contacts the secret agents in the capital, your Wu family's spies in the capital are waiting to be wiped out." Speaking of which, Yao Qisheng took a sip of tea and added, "Did you see it?" It's in the house of your Wu family, and now I don't know how many maids and servants have widened their eyes and pricked up their ears, just waiting for you to use the capital's sitting. ”

"Of course I know that." Liu Xuanchu said angrily: "But the old prince has aged day by day, Geng Jingzhong and Shang Kexi are the two old kings are the grass on the wall, and Taiwan's Zheng Jing is constrained by his old and immortal mother, and the world of our Han family is all counting on the son." If the son of the world has three long and two short, who else can I count on to go? Also, you are the father-in-law of our son, and now that your son-in-law has been captured by the great enemy, why are you not in a hurry? Don't have an idea? ”

"My father-in-law was suffocated." Yao Qisheng vented his dissatisfaction first, and then said slowly: "However, even if you use the detective in Beijing, it will be too late, the son of your family has been arrested for more than three hours, and it is your Wu family's great enemy Mu Wangfu who arrested him, more than three hours, even if Mu Wangfu chops up your family and makes dumplings, the time is more than enough." ”

"So what now? Are you just watching the righteous son who will give you a pension in the future be killed by the enemy? Liu Xuanchu didn't know that what Yao Qisheng said was all the truth, and all he hoped for was that a miracle would happen. And Yao Qisheng smiled and replied, "Are you really not in a hurry when I am?" If I hadn't been in a hurry, I wouldn't have waited in this hall all night! But after waiting for one night and getting nothing, I don't have to rush. ”

"Nothing? Do you expect your enemies to bring back the head of your Son? Liu Xuanchu asked angrily. Yao Qisheng glanced at Liu Xuanchu, took the teacup brought by Wu Luxin, blew the tea stalk in the cup and said slowly: "Are you really in a hurry?" If the enemy really clicked my righteous son, even if the people of the Mu family are unwilling to send the head back, naturally someone will report to us. But we haven't heard of death yet, which proves that people are still alive, and we don't need to worry. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Liu Xuanchu said strangely. It's not that Liu Xuanchu can't compare to Yao Qisheng in terms of his ability to analyze the situation, but that Liu Xuanchu's authorities are fascinated and are too concerned about Wu Yingxiong's safety, so he naturally can't compare to Yao Qisheng's bystanders. Yao Qisheng put down the tea bowl and sneered: "Didn't you find a few things strange? The future queen of our Great Qing Kingdom sneaked out of the house, and not many people knew about it, but Mu Wangfu set up an ambush on her way home, who told Mu Wangfu the secret? And according to the report of the guards soldiers, the people of Mu Wangfu did not know that the prince of your Wu family was with the future queen, and it was not until the assassination began that the identity of the prince was discovered, and then the target was transferred, how do you explain this? ”

"What do you mean is that someone deliberately reported the queen's whereabouts to Mu Wangfu and lured Mu Wangfu to set up an ambush to assassinate the little queen." Liu Xuanchu clenched the hookah and rolled his eyes, and reasoned slowly: "But the real target of that whistleblower is not the little queen, but the son of our family!" If the prince did not leave the Mu Lima family with the little queen, the informant would have passed on the news that the prince was also nearby to the Mu Wangfu, and the Mu Wangfu and our Wu family would definitely give up the opportunity to assassinate the little queen, and instead set the target on our family's son, which would also have the effect of murdering the prince. But since the prince left with the little queen, the whistleblower didn't have to work hard, just to assassinate the queen and call out the identity of the prince, and the people in Mu Wangfu would also transfer the target. ”

"There are no ifs." Yao Qisheng pursed his lips and tasted the taste of tea and said: "If I were the whistleblower, I would persuade the queen to leave with your family, so that his relationship could be cleaned up and his deeds would not be exposed at all." At that time, even if your prince Wu Sangui wants to find someone to take revenge, he can only find the bad luck of Mu Wangfu, and he can't blame others at all! ”

"I see!" Liu Xuanchu threw the hookah on the ground and yelled: "If Mu Wangfu has killed our family's son, that informant will send us the news of Shizi's death, so that we are eager to seek revenge from Mu Wangfu and ignore his existence!" Naturally, there is no way to settle accounts with him! But now that the son of the world is still missing, it proves that the son of the world is still alive! And he was not poisoned! Roaring here, Liu Xuanchu stomped on the hookah, gritted his teeth and said: "Good boy, such cunning and vicious methods, I almost forgot you!" It seems that if we don't get rid of you as soon as possible, our Wu family will not be able to sleep peacefully for a day! ”

Although Yao Qisheng did not say who the whistleblower was, Liu Xuanchu already knew it, but now it was obviously not the time to go to the mastermind behind the scenes to settle accounts, Liu Xuanchu asked again: "Mr. Yao, since the son of the world has not been poisoned, what should we do now?" That kid was secretly remotely controlled by the Empress Dowager, or I would go into the palace to find the Empress Dowager and ask the Empress Dowager to intervene with the conditions of concession on the issue of military salaries? ”

"That precious son of your family has been making trouble for the emperor a lot during this time, and he can get rid of this scourge with the hand of Mu Wangfu, as long as it is not the emperor's own hand, the empress dowager can't ask for it!" Yao Qisheng's fluttering words broke Liu Xuanchu's dream, Yao Qisheng hugged his chest and said: "Wait a minute, since the people of Mu Wangfu did not kill your family's son immediately, it means that Mu Wangfu has scruples about killing your family's son, although I don't know what scruples are, but with the ability of your family's son, you will definitely be able to magnify that scruple infinitely." ”

"What scruples does King Mu have about our Wu family?" Unlike Yao Qisheng, Liu Xuanchu knew the situation of Wu Sangui's family too well, and he couldn't imagine that Mu Wangfu would have any scruples about the Wu family, but Liu Xuanchu also knew that Yao Qisheng was not talking nonsense - after all, Mu Wangfu did not immediately break Wu Yingxiong's body into ten thousand pieces, which Liu Xuanchu couldn't find a reasonable explanation.

"There are assassins!" Liu Xuanchu was suspicious, when the soldiers of Wu Sangui's guards outside the hall suddenly made an uproar, and a soldier flew into the hall to report: "Qiyu Military Division, Mr. Yao, an assassin has been found in a room in the west wing, and the maid who lives in that room has already exchanged hands with the assassin!" ”

"Maiden and Assassin fighting? What martial arts does an ordinary maid have? Liu Xuanchu was confused again, and Yao Qisheng was overjoyed, stood up and shouted: "Quick, quickly gather people to surround that room and take that assassin!" Yao Qisheng turned to Liu Xuanchu again and shouted: "Mr. Xuanchu, the maid who lives in that room is Wei Dongting's former fiancée Shi Jianmei, it is definitely not an accident that the assassin entered that room, and things may have taken a turn for the better!" Liu Xuanchu nodded, and hurriedly rushed to the west wing with Yao Qisheng and dozens of Wu Sangui guards.

When I arrived at the west wing of the Wu Mansion, I found that the room of the assassin had been surrounded by Wu Sangui's guard regiment, although Huangfu Baozhu took most of the guards out, but there were still as many as two hundred guards left at home, and there were only five or six assassins outside the room.

"Strategist, I know the martial arts of these assassins, and they are the tricks of Mu Wangfu!" The soldiers of Wu Sangui's guard had been dealing with the people of Mu Wangfu for a long time, and they all recognized the origin of the assassin. Liu Xuanchu was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly ordered: "Hurry, catch it alive!" ”

"Yes!" A squad leader of Wu Sangui's guard said yes and shouted, "Cast the net!" Dozens of well-trained Wu Sangui guards immediately rushed out, and groups of ten threw fishing nets, and Wu Sangui's guards, who were fighting with the assassins, did not dodge or dodge, but struggled to entangle the assassins, and the fishing nets were used as hoods, and the assassins were caught together with the guards, and while the assassins struggled, the other soldiers of Wu Sangui's guards had already pounced, or took away their weapons, or knocked them unconscious, and none of the five or six assassins escaped the net.

"Miss, run, we're in ambush!" An assassin pinned to the ground shouted. Mu Meng, who was fighting with Shi Jianmei in the room, saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly jumped onto the room with a sword and legs, wanting to escape through the window. It's a pity that her opponent Shi Jianmei is not under her at all, she also jumped on the beam of the house and stabbed her with a sword, Mu Meng returned the sword to parry for a moment, and the soldiers of Wu Sangui's guards had already swarmed into the room, and soft weapons such as fishing nets, soft whips and ropes greeted her like spider silk vines.

"Strategist, the assassins have all of them." Dozens of Wu Sangui guards escorted Mu Meng and others to Liu Xuanchu and Yao Qisheng, Liu Xuanchu forcibly suppressed his excitement, and asked Mu Meng: "Say, are you from Mu Wangfu?" Where are my sons locked up by you? ”

"Phew! Dog thieves talk less nonsense, kill if you want to kill, if your aunt frowns, she is not a descendant of the Duke of Qianguo! "Mu Meng is not as greedy for life and afraid of death as Wu Yuanming, and he kowtowed and begged for mercy as soon as he was caught. However, the fire in Mu Meng's heart far exceeded Wu Yuanming's - she never dreamed that a maid in Wu Yingxiong's family would have such a high level of martial arts, and she was discovered by Shi Jianmei as soon as she entered the room, not to mention, but also let Shi Jianmei raise her warning, attracting a large number of Wu Sangui guards.

"Haha, Miss Mu, I'm reluctant to kill you." Although Liu Xuanchu didn't see anyone from the Mu family, he was already familiar with the family composition of the old family, laughed and casually picked an assassin from Mu Wangfu, and ordered: "Let him go, let him go back to report the news." Tell Mu Shenbao that if he wants his sister's life, he will exchange it for my family's descendants! ”

…… Let's watch the History and Military Channel of Literature Network, more exciting content is waiting for you! ……

About half an hour later, Mu Shenbao kicked and opened Wu Yuanming's room like crazy, and shouted at Wu Yuanming who was hanging on the room with red eyes: "Wu dog thief, who is the maid in your room?" Why is there such a high level of martial arts? ”

"You mean Shi Jianmei?" Wu Yuanming, who was dozing off, was woken up by Mu Shenbao, yawned for a long time, and said lazily to Mu Shenbao: "She is the righteous daughter of Iron Arhat Shi Longbiao, what's the surprise of knowing some martial arts?" ”

"Iron Arhat Shi Long Biao?!" Mu Shenbao gasped, he had naturally heard of Shi Longbiao's name after wandering the rivers and lakes all year round. Mu Shenbao said angrily: "Then why didn't you say it earlier?" Hurt my sister's ....... ”

"Is it right that your sister was captured alive? You didn't ask me, why did I say it? Wu Yuanming smiled treacherously and said for Mu Shenbao, although Wu Yuanming didn't see what happened at home, Wu Yuanming was absolutely sure - the two old foxes in the family would definitely not let go of the opportunity to exchange hostages. After having no fear, Wu Yuanming's attitude and tone naturally became arrogant, and he said in a big way: "Don't worry, the people in my family will not hurt your sister, as long as you put me back, I guarantee that your sister will not lose a single hair." ”

"Dog thief, you are less arrogant!" Mu Shenbao was so angry that he snatched a horse whip and was about to whip it on Wu Yuanming, Wu Yuanming hurriedly shouted: "The surname Mu, if you dare to whip me again, the people in my family will whip your sister ten times!" Whether it's important for you to be angry, or your sister's life is important, you can consider it yourself! ”

"Bastard! How dare you threaten me? Although Mu Shenbao almost blew up his chest, he didn't have the courage to whip Wu Yuanming again, so he could only whip the whip on the ground as if venting, causing sparks to splash on the ground. Coming in with him, Liu Tianyou asked timidly, "Little grandfather, what should we do now?" Wu Sangui's people only give us an hour to think about it, if you don't decide, I'm afraid that Miss will have to ....... ”

"Don't say it, let me think about it." Mu Shenbao interrupted Liu Tianyou's words, closed his eyes and thought nervously, his chest continued to rise and fall, obviously he was already hesitant, on the one hand, he was the son of an enemy who did not share the sky, and on the other hand, he was the only relative and sister, such a difficult choice, no matter who he replaced, he could not decide. And Wu Yuanming was also afraid that he would really kill his relatives righteously, so he hurriedly put pressure on him and said: "Mu Gongzi, you have to think clearly, my father has two sons, you killed me and my younger brother." But you only have one sister, if she has any three longs and two shorts, when she comes to Jiuquan, what face do I think you have to meet your parents and brother? ”

"Shut his mouth!" Mu Shenbao shouted angrily. Liu Tianyou agreed, but he didn't know where to find a stinky and dirty rag and stuffed it into Wu Yuanming's mouth, which made Wu Yuanming roll his eyes, and swore in his heart that he would never spare the Mu family brothers and sisters. But although Wu Yuanming's mouth was blocked, Mu Shenbao's contradictory mood was not alleviated at all, one moment he glared at Wu Yuanming's dirty and distorted face, and the other time he missed his sister with a depressed expression, and no one else in Mu Wang's Mansion in the room dared to speak, all staring at Mu Shenbao, who was full of contradictions, looking forward to his decision.

"Little grandpa, the time is almost up." I don't know how long it took for Mu Shenbao, who was hesitant and contemplative, to be awakened by Liu Tianyou's whispering, Mu Shenbao sighed and said with tears: "I only have one sister, let's exchange with them." ”
