Chapter 112: Child's Play in the City (1)
Mu Shengyun looked down at the little girl in his arms, and asked with concern, "What's wrong with Qingqing?" ”
Ning Qingqing lowered his head timidly and whispered, "Qingqing misses Brother Shengbai very much, but knowing that Brother Shengbai is very busy in the Imperial City, Qingqing doesn't want to cause trouble to Brother Shengbai. ”
When Mu Shengyun heard this, he hugged Ning Qingqing tighter, only to feel a slight pain in his heart, this child is really sensible and distressing.
"Qingqing is fine, Brother Shengbai must also miss Qingqing and his brother and brother, Brother Shengyun will write a letter to tell Brother Shengbai that Qingqing is sick, and let Brother Shengbai come back as soon as possible."
Ning Qingqing didn't object at this time, he held it in Mu Shengyun's arms with peace of mind, and fell asleep.
Mu Shengyun felt that the breathing of the little person in his arms was getting smoother and smoother, and knew that it was time to sleep, so he hugged her back to her couch, and glanced at the little girl's uneasy sleeping face, her eyebrows were frowned, and her lips were bitten white, which should be extremely painful.
He sighed deeply.
Mu Shengbai's side also quickly learned about Ning Qingqing's unsolved poisoning from the letters brought by those shopkeepers, and he didn't care about the previous plan to open a shop branch in the imperial city, and only wanted to detoxify Ning Qingqing.
Let Du Lai arrange these guards and shopkeepers, Mu Shengbai hurriedly went to find the prime minister, he is now loyal to the prince after all, and he can't leave the imperial city without saying a word.
And Du Weizhen is in the deep palace, and he doesn't want to see it, and the prince also imagined that Mu Shengbai would have some emergencies, so he asked him to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find Wang Suping if he was in a hurry.
Mu Shengbai told Wang Suping that his child in Jinling City was secretly poisoned, and he was waiting for him to go back to detoxify, and begged the prince to let him leave.
Although Du Weizhen was surprised that Mu Shengbai had a family and even a child at a young age, he was unwilling to delay and agreed to his request.
Mu Shengbai didn't have much to pack, so he only prepared a little silver taels for buying some food on the road, and finally called Dongshi to buy a good horse, and left the Mu Mansion before dawn the next day.
This move is not ordinary in the eyes of people with hearts, as soon as Mu Shengbai walked on his front foot, someone on his back foot followed him all the way not far away until he went out of the city gate.
The man looked at the direction Mu Shengbai left, and immediately turned around and flew towards the most majestic buildings in the imperial city, hiding in the exquisite buildings of flying tiles and glass, and finally stopped in front of a study.
Pushing open the door, the person in the room was the second prince Du Chenliang.
"But what did you find?" Du Chenliang's eyes were like a sword, and his eyes flashed fiercely, after being calculated by Mu Shengbai that time, he had always had a thorn in his heart, his heart was not very broad, and he gritted his teeth with hatred for Mu Shengbai.
Just a few of his subordinates lurked around the Mu Mansion to observe if anything strange happened in the Mu Mansion.
As a result, someone under his command came back yesterday to tell the housekeeper of the Mu Mansion that he was buying horses and increasing the expenditure on food in the house, Du Chenliang expected that something would definitely happen inside, so he let the few subordinates who were guarding the Mu Mansion not sleep, staring intently, no, something happened early in the morning.
"Back to His Royal Highness, Mu Shengbai went out of the city early in the morning."
Du Chenliang hooked the corners of his mouth, with a smug face, looking like the emperor lived up to his wishes, "Finally let the palace seize the opportunity, let this Mu Shengbai dare to let the palace lose face in front of his father, there is a good royal brother of the palace to protect him in the imperial city, and he wants to see what else he is capable of when he goes out of the city and the palace!" ”
The kneeling subordinates echoed, "That Mu Shengbai dares to tease His Highness like this, and he is to blame for his death." ”
Du Chenliang snorted coldly, "Do you know which direction Mu Shengbai went?" ”
"It seems to be the direction of Jinling City, but this may also be Mu Shengbai's trick of deception, so when the housekeeper of the Mu Mansion went to Dongshi to buy a horse, he made his hands and feet on the horse's hooves, and sprinkled a little medicinal powder, the medicinal powder is usually transparent and cannot be seen, but once it is contaminated with a special potion, it will appear light blue, and Mu Shengbai can't escape."
"Okay!" Du Chenliang said hello three times in a row, looked up to the sky and smiled, and then ordered: "You go find a few neat hands and feet to dispose of that Mu Shengbai on the road, remember to deal with it cleanly, don't leave a trace, otherwise you will go to Mu Shengbai's funeral." ”
The latter words had a slight hint of threat, and the subordinate trembled, and then swore in fear that he would do it well.
Du Chenliang let that person go down, of course he didn't want people to know that he did it, after all, it can be seen from Emperor Jingyuan's attitude towards Mu Shengbai that he admires Mu Shengbai a lot, whether it is for the sake of Mr. Changfeng's face or because of Mu Shengbai's talent.
If he was known, he would inevitably be punished, but if he didn't do it, hum, Du Chenliang sneered, he couldn't swallow this breath!
Several tall men rode horses that looked extraordinary at first glance along the road and roared towards the outside of the imperial city, and several people did not notice an illusory figure behind them.
Before you know it, it's night, the night is dark and the wind is high, and the night is the killer's domain.
Mu Shengbai's heart was like an arrow, he didn't notice what was happening behind him, in the woods not far behind him, the smell of blood diffused, and the blood stained the trunk of the tree red.
The dark shadow crept out of the woods and looked back at several men lying in pools of blood, all of whom had died from severed neck arteries, blood pooling together.
Even the bright moon in the sky seemed to be frightened by the tragic scene here, so she showed her head and then burrowed behind the dark clouds.
The shadow disappeared in place, and when I looked closer, there was one less horse that had been tethered to the tree.
Mu Shengbai stopped at an inn and asked for a room, and as soon as he entered, he smelled an unusual smell, with a faint smell of blood.
Mu Sheng Bai Anzhi Ruosu, poured himself a cup of tea, and faced the position of the window, "Since you are here, don't let it out and meet you next." ”
"Benefactor." A familiar face emerged from the darkness, and there were still unwiped blood stains on his forehead.
The person who came was Xiao Liu, and Mu Shengbai also knew from his narration that there were people following him all the time.
Mu Shengbai was annoyed and grateful, and let him sit beside him, but he didn't dislike the smell of blood on his body, "Xu is too anxious to go back to Jinling City, and I didn't pay attention to this, so I want to thank Xiaoliu this time." ”
Xiao Liu smiled a little, but he couldn't tell that he had killed someone just now, "It should be done." ”
"But I don't know what happened to Xiaoliu coming to me this time?"
Xiaoliu Zhengse said: "Benefactor, I have figured it out, I have already lived a life of licking blood on the knife edge just for three meals a day, it is better to let go and earn a bright future." ”
