Twelve. Under attack

From this day on, Mu Changqing and Li Shuangxuan were nowhere to be found, Li Shuanglan stayed in the house to study the poison on the silver needle, and Feng Lin lived in the Nanfeng Building in the palace as a guest of Prince Lie.

The more Nuo Min looked at the two sisters, the more they liked it, but Li Shuangxuan was taken away by Mu Changqing and couldn't see it from time to time, which was a little regrettable.

After half a month, Mu Changqing and Li Shuangxuan have not returned, Yongzhao Emperor Xiao Chengqi is buried in the imperial mausoleum, and Nuo Min is also leaving the capital to return to Mobei.

When Nuo Min left, he also said that the whereabouts of this Li girl were uncertain, and she left in a hurry after seeing only one moment, and explained that Xiao Luo must take Li Shuangxuan to Mobei to see her.

"I think this girl is really good, son, you have to hurry up, don't let any stinky man from the Central Plains marry her, you won't have anywhere to cry when the time comes!" Nomin was still instructing.

"Okay, okay, mother, go back quickly, be careful all the way." Xiao Luo hurriedly sent away his nagging mother, and ordered his four guards to find Mu Changqing and Li Shuangxuan.

Xiao Luo's four guards are called Qingying, Baiying, Zhu Ying, and Xuanying, they have grown up with Xiao Luo since they were children, and they can disguise themselves as good at using secret weapons, and they are also rare masters, and at this time, the four of them shook their heads in unison and said:

"Please forgive me, we really can't catch up with ......"

“……”

Xiao Luo felt the need to let the four of them practice for another twenty years.

When Xiao Luo returned to the study in the mansion, Li Shuanglan was waiting for him.

She had already researched the poison on the silver needle.

"This is a chronic poison based on the turtle, and it is okay to use it in small amounts, but if you take some every day, you will have headaches and dizziness after a long time, and you will have convulsions all over your body, and you will die of suffocation."

"In the case of the first emperor, it should be that he has been taking the turtle for more than a month, and the amount of these drugs is enough to poison the first emperor to death."

Xiao Luo frowned, a layer of frost and snow slowly floated on his face, the hands in his sleeves were clenched into fists, and the back of his hands collapsed with bruises, a murderous aura was faintly visible in his eyes, and with a wave of his long sleeves, he turned around and left.

Xiao Luo had a layer of killing intent in his heart.

He wants to kill Xiao Che and avenge Xiao Chengqi.

At this time, a gust of wind passed, Mu Changqing and Li Shuangxuan fell from the sky, and the two of them were in the dust, especially Li Shuangxuan, with a tired face, two dark circles under his eyes, and he was so tired that he yawned.

"Thanks to him, I've learned the Shadow Floating Fragrance and the Divine Walk, but I'm tired to death." After saying that, he collapsed on the table and fell asleep in an instant.

“……”

Li Shuanglan sighed silently, placed her sister and Mu Changqing, Li Shuanglan sat on the side of her sister's bed, tucked the quilt corner for her, and pondered for a long time.

She had a vague premonition that this court would not be peaceful in the future.

"Maybe we should listen to Aunt Xiang and withdraw early."

At this time, Li Shuanglan suddenly remembered that the reason why they entered the mansion was to ask Prince Lie to help investigate the origin of the bow and arrow, and now they already know, in exchange, Xiao Luo knew the real cause of Xiao Chengqi's death, and she and Li Shuangxuan seemed to have no reason to live in Prince Lie's mansion anymore.

Li Shuanglan thought about it for a long time, and wanted to wait for Li Shuangxuan to wake up and discuss the matter of leaving the house.

Half an hour later, Li Shuangxuan had not woken up, but Xiao Luo returned to Danxue Yuan, his face was no longer the previous murderous aura, and he had regained his previous harmony.

"You two young women don't always live outside, and I have seen the courtyard where you live, it is remote and simple, and it is not suitable for living, why not live in Danxue Garden, which is comfortable and no one dares to disturb it."

"Besides, Frost must be very willing to live in Danxue Garden."

Xiao Luo seemed to know what Li Shuanglan was thinking, and before Li Shuanglan could speak, he kept their sisters to continue to live in the mansion, Li Shuanglan thought about it and decided to continue to live.

After all, Prince Lie directly shouted "Frost Xuan".

Li Shuanglan shook his head, thinking of Ling Feng again, and he didn't know if he was willing to continue to live in Prince Lie's Mansion.

And thinking of Ling Feng, Li Shuanglan thought of another thing-

"Since your master is so divine that the dragon sees the head and the end, then how did he happen to come to the capital at this time? Why did he come here this time? Is it as simple as traveling the rivers and lakes? ”

"It was the master who, like me, also received the news that the senior brother was assassinated by his younger brother, and the master originally went to Shengjiazhuang, and later came to the capital."

Li Shuanglan sat in the pavilion, his right hand on his forehead, silent.

"Miss Li, are you thinking about things again?"

"Huh? How do you know? ”

"You love to pestle your forehead when you think about things, and you see, your head is bald."

“……”

Li Shuanglan didn't care about her bald forehead, and kept thinking about the Sheng Jiu Dynasty, which not only allowed them to meet Mr. Huang Song, but also led Mu Changqing to the capital. Huang Song is their father's old house, and Mu Changqing is their grandfather's world friend, and the people behind this are really familiar with them, and they are more familiar than they imagined

I just don't know what his purpose is in doing this, and what he's going to do next.

Seven days later, Mu Changqing thought of a fun place again, and left a letter saying that he was going to Dongying, because he heard that Dongying people would be incognito and would escape, and he wanted to see it, so he ran away without a trace, and dragged Ling Feng away, saying that he would also let him learn this strange technique.

Mu Changqing has always been without a trace, so that others don't even have time to say a word.

At three o'clock in the night, a black shadow appeared in Prince Lie's mansion, with a strange body, as fast as the wind, and went straight to the mountain and river residence where Xiao Luo lived.

Xiao Luo was enjoying the moon in the pavilion in the courtyard at that time, and was thinking about going south to hunt for treasures.

Qingying Zhu Ying was on duty tonight, and after discovering that there was an assassin, he drew his sword to meet the enemy, but this assassin's method was evil, not like the ordinary Central Plains martial arts, but like Fanbang kung fu, so it was very difficult to resist, and in a trance in the battle, he found that the assassins were divided from one to countless people, teleporting up and down, dodging left and right, and I don't know what poison the assassin used, so that the entire mountain and river dwelling was in a fog, and the place where they could see was only a zhang, which made them dizzy and unable to focus.

The assassin took advantage of the distraction of Qingying and Zhu Ying, repelled the guards in the mansion, and went straight to Xiao Luo, Xiao Luo held his sword to resist for a moment, but he couldn't resist the assassin's attack, the assassin's blade was facing Xiao Luo's heart, and he was about to take Xiao Luo's life in a moment.

Li Shuangxuan came looking for a sound, and as soon as she ran to Shanhe Residence, she saw a black shadow stabbing at Xiao Luo, she didn't know how to rescue her in a hurry, so she had to pick up a stone table in her hand and throw it forward.

I only heard a muffled sound in the darkness, the fog gradually dissipated, Qingying and Zhu Ying finally recovered from the dizziness, the guards in the palace lay on the ground, and the black-clothed assassin was still holding a knife in his hand, but he had been pressed to the ground by a stone table, bleeding and out of breath.

Xiao Luo moved for a moment, only to feel a sharp pain in his abdomen, although the assassin was smashed to death on the spot by Li Shuangxuan on a stone table, Xiao Luo was still injured, he was stabbed, and the bleeding did not stop.

Li Shuanglan was also awakened by the noise, and came to Shanheju to treat Xiao Luo's injuries, Xiao Luo had a false alarm tonight, Li Shuanglan returned to Danxueyuan, and boiled a bowl of decoction to stop bleeding and relieve pain.

Li Shuangxuan naturally stayed in Shanheju to take care of Xiao Luo, Li Shuanglan prepared the medicine and personally guarded the medicine furnace, she sat on the small bench, holding a fan to fan the medicine furnace in one hand, and holding her chin in the other hand thoughtfully.

Countless thoughts were chaotic in Li Shuanglan's mind, giving her a headache, and the assassination of Xiao Luo tonight made her feel uneasy, she took a sip of herbal tea to calm down, and began to sort out the thoughts in her mind.

- If Senior Mu and Ling Feng were still in the mansion, they might not be able to capture this assassin, if it weren't for my sister throwing out a stone table, I am afraid that Prince Lie would be attacked and killed tonight, who is it that dares to blatantly assassinate the prince, and if the assassination cannot be done today, wouldn't it be endless trouble?

Li Shuanglan changed her hand and continued to shake the fan, her face was red in the light of the fire, and sweat soaked from her forehead.

- Senior Mu and Ling Feng only left today, and the assassin came at night, the timing was too much of a coincidence, Prince Lie's Mansion was at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and the prince was attacked, how should the people of the world view the new emperor? Could it be that someone wants to use the excuse of killing Prince Lie to criticize the emperor again?

There was a "gurgling" sound in the medicine jar, and a burst of medicinal fragrance was in his nose, Li Shuanglan lifted the lid of the medicine jar to see how it was boiling, but his hand shook accidentally and was burned by the heat in the jar, and the back of his hand suddenly turned red.

"Ouch!" Li Shuanglan took a breath of cool air, and hurriedly dipped the handkerchief in cold water and applied it to the back of his hand.

The handkerchief was cold in her hand, and after handling her burned hands a little, she continued to fan the stove with a fan, and there was a sound of footsteps at the door, it was Li Shuangxuan who came to see how the medicine was boiling.

Li Shuangxuan also took a small bench and sat next to the medicine stove.

"Lan'er, I thought about it for a while, I'm afraid tonight's incident is not a coincidence."

The flames on the medicine stove flickered slightly, and after the sisters were silent for a long time, Li Shuangxuan suddenly opened her mouth.

"It should be someone who took advantage of the absence of the two masters in the palace to attack, and the other party should have been monitoring the palace for a long time, so Prince Lie is dead, who is the biggest beneficiary? Is it the emperor? The emperor is naturally, I think the emperor would like Xiao Luo to be attacked and die. ”

"Sister, ......?"

"But there are others who are also looking forward to Xiao Luo's death, some people who may not even know about the imperial court, that is, those in the royal family who escaped the punishment of the first emperor in the previous dynasty."

"You mean...... Gauss Young? Or is it someone close to him? ”

"Yes, that's them."

What Li Shuangxuan thought was that it would not be the emperor who came to assassinate Xiao Luo tonight, it should be the old man of the previous dynasty, at the beginning of the new emperor's accession to the throne, the prince was assassinated, this is the royal battle that the people love to watch the most, so the emperor will not be so stupid, but there are many people who want to see this good show, brothers fight each other, and benefit from it.

"If this is really the case, don't forget who our biological father and mother are, if the old people of the previous dynasty and the royal family of the current dynasty fight, it is best not to burn this fire on our bodies, Aunt Xiang is right, we should indeed stay away from the palace, or even away from the capital."

"In that case, what are we going to do?"

"I have already said goodbye to Xiao Luo just now, and I will leave tomorrow."

“…… It's good. ”

Li Shuanglan opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but she still didn't say it, and a sense of anxiety could be vaguely seen in her eyes staring at her sister.

Li Shuangxuan smiled and reached out to touch her sister's face.

"We know too many things, and the identity is also special, the cause of the emperor's death is not a royal secret that we should know, I suspect that Xiao Luo randomly selected doctors from the people to perform an autopsy on the first emperor, just to facilitate the elimination of the mouth, and if one day Xiao Luo knows who our biological father and mother are, I'm afraid ...... He's going to kill us. ”

Li Shuangxuan held her sister's burned hand and blew, saying, "Although I have a good impression of him, my feelings are not important to our own lives. ”

"The medicine should be fine, let's bring it over."

Xiao Luo leaned on the side of the bed and drank a whole bowl of soup and medicine in one go.

Xiao Luo seemed to have no reason to refuse the sisters' request to leave the house, Xiao Luo wiped his mouth and asked:

"Frost Xuan, do you have something on your mind?"

"I ...... I'm fine. ”

Xiao Luo took Li Shuangxuan's hand and sat down on the edge of the bed, and said with a smile: "I'm not Feng Lin, how can I not see that you have something in mind?" But if you don't want to say, I won't ask. ”

Li Shuanglan sat on the side and pursed his lips and snickered, Prince Lie actually secretly hacked Ling Feng.

"You've gone from me, are you going back to your rented house? That house is small and shabby, and it is really uninhabitable, so tomorrow I will send someone to buy you a house, which can be regarded as a reward for your great help to me, how about it? ”

“…… Thank you so much. ”
