Chapter 148: The Mysterious Woman
The battles on the street all fell into the eyes of the seventh man on the roof. He stared at Li Mu and took out a crossbow from his back.
Datang prohibits the private ownership of all long-range weapons, bows and arrows, bows and crossbows. But this thing is made by people after all, and Lao Qi is a person who is good at making crossbows.
Today's thing, he didn't expect Sikou to be able to do it at all. He just wanted to cause chaos and create a chance for him, a chance for him to let go of the cold arrow. And now, Li Mu is lying on the ground, which is a good opportunity.
"Zhuluhou, you hurt my eldest young master, you should have this report. On Huangquan Road, remember that the person who killed you is Cui Qi! ”
Muttering in his mouth, Cui Qi half-narrowed one eye, and was about to buckle the bracket. Suddenly, a person appeared in his sight, Cui Qi frowned slightly, and put the crossbow down.
"Is it really her?"
Cui Qi looked carefully, secretly surprised in his heart, and when he hesitated, a gaze suddenly swept over. Seeing this, Cui Qi did not hesitate at all, and quickly escaped from the other slope of the roof.
On the street, Li Mu screamed in pain. Li Chongyi stood by his side, vigilantly watching the woman and her guards who came over. The woman was very measured, stood two steps away, and said, "Childe, your slave is brave, can you sell it to the slave family, no matter how much money you spend, the slave family will give you double." ”
Li Mu grabbed Li Chongyi's hand, stood up a little bit with cold air, looked up, and saw that this was a young woman, covered with a light veil, unable to see her face clearly, only listening to the voice, but it was extremely pleasant, very tall, about 1.70 meters, this is the tallest woman since Li Mu came to the Tang Dynasty.
The family is already married, Li Mu is inconvenient to look at it, and said: "I am like a brother to him, and I can't sell it for any money." Thank you Madame for your help, and I smiled. I am chasing the deer Hou Li Mu, please pass your name, there will be a good reward in the future. ”
"Chasing the deer?" The woman's tone seemed to be a little surprised, and she hurriedly asked, "But the Zhulu Hou who said 'An Neng broke his eyebrows and bent his waist to deal with the powerful, making me unhappy'?" But the deer marquis of 'shaking the five mountains with a hearty pen, and the poem becomes a laughing and arrogant Cangzhou'? However, 'Dapeng rises with the wind one day and soars up to 90,000 miles'.......
The woman said three 'buts' in a row, and her admiration was overflowing, but she embarrassed Li Mu and said embarrassedly: "It's me...... This lady, you see the current situation, it doesn't seem to be suitable for conversation, I seem to need a doctor......"
"Ahh When the woman saw the dagger on Li Mu's buttocks, she couldn't help laughing, and hurriedly said, "Master Hou is right, it's the slave family who is rude." This silk shop is my family's industry, it is better for the Hou Ye to go inside to rest first, the injury cannot be delayed, the slave family will invite a doctor to come, and then send someone to report to the official. ”
"That's great...... Li Mu was already crying in pain, and immediately agreed when he heard the words. Li Chongyi picked him up and walked to the silk shop, Li Mu saw the silk all over the ground, and said: "Madam, please rest assured, I have bought all these silks, and I will definitely not let you bear the loss." ”
The woman said: "Master Hou said that he laughed, a little silk is nothing." I admire Hou Ye's literary talent, and if I can see it, it will be ruined along with this shop, so what. ”
Li Mu smiled embarrassedly, but his butt hurt and he laughed awkwardly. The woman covered her mouth, as if she was smiling, turned around and said, "Master Hou, wait a minute, I'll arrange it." ”
"Huh...... Wait, wait! Suddenly, Li Mu stopped the woman and said, "I am tired of sending someone to go to the Furong Garden, there is a group of forbidden troops next to the Furong Garden, you send someone over, and say that I have been assassinated, and someone will come." ”
"Ah, good!" The woman answered, turned and walked out of the shop. Some of her guards had gathered the corpses in the street in one place, and when the woman saw them, she did not look frightened at all, and lowered her voice slightly: "Go and find out who did it, and bring me the messenger of the Lord." Also, go to Furong Garden to inform Su Guogong, inform the news, and ask a doctor to come on the way. ”
The guard said, "Madam, do you really want to tell Su Guogong?" Don't you want people to know that you're in Chang'an? ”
"Since you can't hide it, let's talk about it. Go to the personal report again, go ahead. ”
The guards took the order, and the woman returned to the silk shop. Li Mu was lying on a table at this time, with a dagger stuck in his buttocks, and he was a little funny in his embarrassment. Li Chongyi didn't know how to take care of people, and when he saw Li Mu screaming in pain, he didn't know what to do, so he stood beside him helplessly. Seeing this, the woman picked up a piece of silk from the ground and put it under Li Mu's chest, letting him lie on it, and Li Mu suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.
Li Mu smiled apologetically and said, "Laughing, you haven't told me which family you are the lady of......"
"I ......" The woman hesitated for a moment, but still said, "The slave family is the daughter-in-law of the Cui family." ”
"Cui, Cui?" Li Mu almost screamed, and quickly pulled Li Chongyi closer, he already suspected that the killer was sent by the Cui family, and the woman in front of him turned out to be from the Cui family, could it be that she had just come out of the wolf pack and entered the tiger's mouth?
Seeing his nervous look, the woman hurriedly explained: "Don't panic after the Hou of Zhulu, the husband of the slave family is not the Boling Cui clan, but the Qinghe Cui clan. The surname is the same, but it's not a family. ”
"Oh......" Li Mu let out a sigh and said, "Startle me, I can't hide it, I suspect that the murderer who came to assassinate me today was sent by the Boling Cui clan." I rectified the eldest son of his family, and they couldn't fight me, so they wanted my life. Don't let me find the evidence, let me catch the trick and see what I do with them! ”
The woman looked at Li Mu gritting her teeth and said, "Master Hou is really young and vigorous, but some things don't necessarily have to be so-for-tat, maybe sit down and talk, and the matter will pass?" ”
"I can't get by!" Li Mu gritted his teeth and said: "I'm a person, revenge will be avenged." Before I came to Chang'an, I had already made up my mind! ”
When the woman saw that Li Mu said so resolutely, she stopped persuading. At this time, Cheng Biting Jin's voice came from outside the door, and rushed into the shop with a strong smell of wine, and said: "Which bastard dares to assassinate my good nephew, the old man will break his body into thousands of pieces today...... Li Mu, Li Mu, where are you! ”
"Uncle Cheng, I'm here." Li Mu hurriedly shouted, Cheng bit Jin three steps and walked over with two steps, saw the dagger on Li Mu's buttocks, and was about to laugh, when he suddenly saw the woman next to him, he opened his mouth wide, pointed at the woman, and said, "You, you, you...... Sister-in-law? ”
"Brother-in-law?" Li Mu looked at the woman in surprise, and suddenly remembered that Cheng Biting Jin's wife was from the Qinghe Cui family, and the husband's family of the woman in front of him was also the Qinghe Cui family. Could it be that the woman in front of her turned out to be the wife of Cheng Yanjin's wife's younger brother?
The woman saluted and said, "Brother-in-law, I haven't seen you for several years." ”
"Ah...... Yes, yes! Cheng Yanjin seemed to be stunned, and it took a long time before he came to his senses.
