Chapter 9: Praying Mantis Catching Cicadas

"The father-in-law knows that you don't want to contact the eldest princess, but the friendship with Prince Darong is for the sake of our two countries. I only hope that Beiyan can make friends with Darong and avoid war in the future. ”

Having said that, it would be hypocritical not to agree again.

Mu Xiwan bowed slightly, but when he was leaving, he bumped into Qi Ke who was about to come in, he looked anxious, and he couldn't even pretend to be gentle and elegant, so he just nodded to her and hurriedly entered the house.

When the door was closed, Qi Ke said something in Qi Zhen's ear, and the latter's eyes suddenly flashed fiercely, and he scraped Mu Xiwan who was closing the door.

But in a moment, she returned to her original state, as if everything she had just seen was an illusion.

"Click."

The door was shut, isolating the two figures in the study, and also cutting off the smugness that flashed in Mu Xiwan's eyes.

The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind.

Qi Zhen, do you really think she is so easy to use?

"Miss, you've figured it out!" As soon as Mei'er saw Mu Xi coming out late, she hurriedly pulled her aside and whispered urgently.

"You asked Mu Xiao to steal something from the treasury, he got it, but the speed of the people in the Pingwang Mansion was too fast, he was discovered as soon as he got his hands, and now he has run outside the mansion, and the prince ordered the entire imperial city to be blocked, and he is searching door to door! It won't be long before he is found! ”

Mu Xiwan's face remained unchanged, "Tell Mu Xiao to find Feng Chengyi, he will help." ”

"Miss mean Prince Darong?" Mei'er's eyes lit up suddenly, and after returning to the courtyard, she managed to pass the note out, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"Still Miss is smart! How did the young lady know that the prince would definitely help him! ”

"I don't know, and I can't be sure." Mu Xiwan sat at the table, obviously it was the middle of summer, but his hands were cold and piercing, soaked in cold sweat.

If Mu Xiao is arrested, then Qi Ke will definitely not let him go easily, and the final result is only a dead end, Feng Chengyi is the only way out, and he can only hope that Mu Xiao can receive the news and go to him as soon as possible.

What's even more terrifying is that if he is arrested, then the "Poison Book" will definitely be leaked, Qi Zhen has already reached the sky with one hand, and if he gets the "Poison Book" again, the consequences will be unimaginable, and her revenge plan will no longer be possible.

"What then?" Mei'er's face was full of anxiety, but Qi Ke's voice came from outside the door.

"Sister Wan'er, open the door."

Mei'er was about to cry in a hurry, "Miss......"

"Go open the door." Mu Xiwan's voice was firm and cold, she got up and poured two cups of tea, the boiling water was churning, and accidentally splashed on the onion-white fingertips, but her face did not change, and the fingertips holding the teacup were cold and white.

Her war with the Ping Wangfu has just begun.

"Sister Wan'er, why did you open the door so late?" Qi Ke was dissatisfied, but he had no intention of pursuing it, and was busy asking.

"Is the servant named Mu Xiao you brought from the General's Mansion here?"

"Oh? I ordered him to go out at noon, what is Brother Qi Ke looking for him? Mu Xiwan smiled and handed him a cup of tea.

Qi Ke was sweating hotly, the jade fan snapped open, he didn't care about the teacup, he quickly stirred the fan, feeling a trace of coolness, and then he continued: "I just lost a very precious thing in the mansion, and now it is being searched all over the city, and no one can let go. ”

Mu Xiwan's eyes flashed with a glint of light, "Isn't it all over the city?" Didn't find him? ”

"Not yet, so I'm just looking for my sister Wan'er, I hope you will call him back soon, the longer it drags on, the more suspicious it becomes." Qi Ke said, his face a little embarrassed.

"Sister Wan'er, don't get me wrong, the search is just a routine, if the thing is really not on him, I won't do anything to him."

Mu Xiwan lowered her eyes and smiled lightly, gave Mei'er a look, and the latter went out to look for it.

"What did Brother Qi Ke say, as the righteous daughter of King Ping, I naturally have the same obligation to track down the treasures."

Qi Ke didn't wait for Panasonic to take a breath, and then listened to her faintly say: "It's just that I don't know what kind of treasure this is, it has caused the entire Pingwang Mansion to be so turbulent, you tell me, I can also contribute." ”

His hand fanning the fan suddenly froze.

What does this say? Could it be that the things they searched throughout the Pingwang Mansion were hers?

"Sister don't have to worry about this night, the Ping Wangfu has a very high prestige in the hearts of the people, and I believe that the whereabouts of the treasure will soon be revealed."

Mu Xiwan smiled and nodded, and the moment she lowered her head, her eyes suddenly became cold to the bone, but she couldn't see it really because of the layers of mist.

At this time, Mu Xiao was in the restaurant where Feng Chengyi lived, with a sword on his neck, although his eyes were resolute, the cold sweat oozing from his forehead still revealed his anxiety.

"Girl, it's about the safety of the young lady, and I hope to be accommodating, let me go in to see His Royal Highness the Prince."

Jian Ran looked at him like this, and his teeth itched with hatred.

Ever since I met the woman from the General's Mansion, nothing good has happened!

If everyone sees the servant who is late in the evening, it may affect the master's plan.

The hand holding the hilt of the sword tightened, and the sword light reflected on Mu Xiao's face, but the latter did not flinch in the slightest, she only felt a fire burning in her heart, and she wanted to cut the sword directly down and cut off his head!

"I warn you, tell her to stay away from my master, last time my master said that there was no involvement from now on, the dignified general's daughter is so faceless and skinless, I really don't know how General Mu taught his daughter before his death!"

"Say it again!"

Rao is Mu Xiao had no intention of arguing, and he was also aroused by this sentence, and his sharp eyes were immediately dyed with anger.

He was picked up and cultivated by General Mu since he was a child, and he had long regarded General Mu as the most respected person in his heart, and he would never allow anyone to insult him!

The argument between the two attracted the attention of the people around them, and seeing that more and more people were gathered, Jian Ran pressed the sword in his hand towards his neck, and suddenly a blood mark appeared.

"You can't get out!"

Mu Xiao clenched his fists tightly, and finally silenced.

The people of the Pingwang Mansion were searching everywhere, and the disturbance they made would surely provoke the pursuers soon, and if something fell into their hands, the young lady's hard work would be ruined.

Thinking like this, Mu Xiao frowned, and then threw the burden in his hand to Jian Ran, and was about to turn around and leave.

"Get out of the way—"

A large number of pursuers suddenly poured into the door, and Mu Xiao hurriedly dodged and hid in the corner, his eyes full of vigilance.

The leading officer and soldier saw Jian Ran and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"It turned out to be a dyed girl, rude and rude, we were ordered to search for the thief, may I ask if the dye girl has seen any suspicious people."

"Suspicious people?" Jian Ran raised his eyebrows, and looked at the shadow with smugness, which was Mu Xiao's direction.

"Isn't it so?"
