Chapter Seventy-Nine: Escape
"What do you say? Mu Liangxuan told you everything? The dwarf immediately questioned.
The thief-eyed man grabbed the dwarf and didn't let him talk nonsense, "Miss Mu, I have to admit that you are very smart, but if you want to talk from us, you have to be smarter." β
"ClichΓ©s? How so? Mu Yu glanced at the boatman who walked behind him without a trace, obviously to block his way, "This people regard food as the sky, and the court holds the right to sell salt, which is indeed a bit inhumane." β
There is no way back, so she can only gamble on whether these people are selling salt or not.
But God wishes her too, the expressions of these three people have already given him a positive answer, the corners of her mouth hooked up a successful smile, and she is more calm, "In fact, the position of Dali Siqing can't get oil and water, Lord Xie is honest and honest, and his days are also very breezy with his sleeves." β
"Oh? What does Miss Mu want to say? The thief-eyed person was the first to understand the hint of Mu Yu.
"Actually, I think it's not a bad thing for you to do, and you can make money, think about it, if you have the protection of Dali Temple, wouldn't it be better to do business in the future?" Mu rumors are good and seductive.
It's just that the person with thief's eyebrows and rat eyes is not so easy to be fooled, "Miss Mu, why should we believe what you say?" β
"Don't believe me?" Mu Yu raised his eyebrows indifferently, "Don't you have no other way than to believe in me now?" Instead of killing me and letting Dali Temple track you down, I might as well help you buy Dali Temple, and your business will be better at that time, isn't it? β
When the three of them were hesitating, Xie Chongning had already caught up with the shore, and just happened to hear what Mu Yu said. He drew the long sword at his waist, dodged, and stood firmly beside Mu Yu.
"No need, just grab it." Xie Chongning stopped Mu Yu in his arms with one hand, and his tall body protected Mu Yu's petite body tightly, and before the three of them could react, the two guards rushed up and directly knocked down the three of them, but the boatman was able to fight, and he held on for a while before he fell down and was caught by the guards.
After seeing the guard's kung fu, Mu Yu was extremely sober that he didn't let Biyue act rashly, and Biyue was definitely not the opponent of this boatman.
There was no danger, Mu Yu gently avoided Xie Chongning's embrace, "Brother Xie, why did you come?" β
"I saw you get on the awning boat, so I followed." Xie Chongning replied. "If you weren't smart enough to delay the time, I might not have been able to catch up."
Although he praised Mu Yu, his face was not good-looking, and even more gloomy than usual.
was rescued by Du Xie Chongning twice, the first time can be interpreted as a coincidence, then this second time, he is really worried about himself.
"Brother Xie, you are really too timely, otherwise I have to find a way to stabilize them and wait until my eldest brother comes." Biyue went back, plus the eldest brother came over, it must take a lot of time, thanks to Xie Chongning found out in advance, otherwise she wouldn't be sure if she could delay until that time.
Xie Chongning stared at Mu Yu for a long time, her delicate facial features were full of thanks, but it was difficult to hide the feeling of alienation, Mu Yu, this girl, only had respect for herself.
Realizing this, for some reason, he was a little depressed, and soon he suppressed his distracting thoughts, and said in a gentle tone, "These people would rather choose to kill you than expose their affairs, it is enough to see their ferocity, don't go out alone in the future." β
Mu Yu nodded, she also saw some clues about today's incident, if these three people were just ordinary salt sellers, but if this was the case, they would not necessarily take the risk of choosing to kill themselves, what they wanted to cover up must be more terrible than what she knew.
When Mu Yi arrived with people, Xie Chongning had already settled everything and was about to send Mu Yu back.
"Rumor, how are you?" Mu Yi took her sister's hand in three steps and took two steps, circled around her twice, and saw that her sister was indeed intact, and the hanging heart was put down, "Biyue came back and told me that you were in danger, I was scared to death, you are fine, you are fine, you are fine." β
"Brother Xie arrived in time, and before those people could do anything to me, they were all subdued by Brother Xie." Mu Yu comforted.
Xu had experienced that assassination, and when she experienced this today, she had a calmness that she had never felt before, and her mind was exceptionally clear.
Only then did Mu Yi notice that Xie Chongning was standing beside her sister, but she was subconsciously vigilant.
Seeing the eldest brother's straight body, Mu Yu hurriedly grabbed his arm and reminded in a low voice, "Big brother, it was Brother Xie who saved me." β
Thinking that Yu'er had let herself try to accept Xie Chongning, Mu Yi's attitude softened, "Thank you for today's incident, I will definitely come to the door to thank you another day, and I will take Yu'er back first." β
Xie Chongning's eyes fell on Mu Yu, and he answered, asking Mu Yu to go back and rest first.
On the way back, Mu Yi pulled her sister and asked her about the details of what happened, "They dare to make a move on you?" β
"Yes, I can't prevent it, thanks to my cleverness, I found the boatman's abnormality on the ship, and then asked Biyue to go back and inform you." Mu Yu said lightly, without the tension of the rest of his life after the catastrophe.
"You're still laughing? Big brother, I'm worried to death. Mu Yi glared at Mu Yu slightly, "You girl, why are you getting bolder?" β
Mu Yu was aggrieved, "Then I can't cry, besides, you haven't seen how smart I am today!" I bought time for you to come and save me. β
Mu Yi took a deep breath helplessly, the fault was not in the rumor, he knew, "It's me who is too anxious, you did the right thing, but these people are so hateful, they actually attacked you, I will definitely not let them go." β
"It's okay, there is Brother Xie, and you didn't tell your father and mother about this, did you?"
"Not yet, as soon as I saw Biyue come back, I brought someone out to save you, and I didn't have time to tell them." Mu Yi didn't have to think about it, and knew what Yu'er was going to say next, "You want to hide from your father and mother?" β
"I don't want to worry about them plainly, after all, I don't have anything, and the prisoner has also been caught by Master Xie, so I can hide it if I can."
"I don't want you to be reckless alone, if Biyue didn't come to me for help today, then would you even hide it from me?" Mu Yi asked worriedly.
Mu Yu immediately grabbed Mu Yi's arm, "How come, big brother, don't you know all about me?" Even if I hide it, I can't hide it from you, and I'm telling you everything now, you have to believe me. β
My sister is coquettish with herself, Mu Yi is the most unbearable, "I can hide this matter from my father and mother, but I hope you don't hide it from me if you have something in the future." β
Mu Yu looked at Mu Yi's eyes seriously, "Big brother, I listen to you, I won't hide anything from you, but you also have to promise me that when it comes to me, don't be impulsive." I know you're worried about me, but I'm going to rely on you, and what if you're more impulsive than me. β
She has known her eldest brother in private, although the eldest brother doesn't like trouble, but he has always been steady and reliable in doing things, but as long as it involves herself, she will panic and be extremely excited.
Listening to her sister's persuasion, Mu Yi responded and asked with a smile, "You girl, do you have anything else to tell me?" β
Mu Yu laughed, "Isn't that what you tell me on weekdays, I just care about you." β
The brother and sister looked at each other and smiled, and they both chose to keep silent about what happened today. It's just that what happened next made Mu Yu more and more aware of the seriousness of the matter.
Because the three people Xie Chongning caught chose to commit suicide by taking poison in prison, and the poison was always hidden in their teeth.
Mu Yu was invited to Dali Temple by Xie Chongning and asked some about the scene at that time, what kind of identity did they have, so that they would rather choose to commit suicide than reveal their identity?
"The only thing I'm sure of is that they're selling salt." Mu Yu mentioned the reaction of several people when he mentioned table salt, "They were surprised and panicked when they heard me say table salt, and if I was wrong, they probably wouldn't continue to listen to me lie to them." β
Speaking of deception, although Xie Chongning was a step late, he also knew what Mu Yu had deceived these people, thinking of Mu Yu's sentence "buying Dali Temple", the corners of Xie Chongning's mouth involuntarily rose slightly.
"But these three people may still be related to Mu Hening." Xie Chongning gradually withdrew the smile on his face and said with a straight face.
"Second uncle? Aren't these three people selling salt? How can it be related to the second uncle? And hasn't the second uncle been asked to behead? Mu Yu was puzzled.
"They have an eagle tattooed on their left arm, and Liu Ying once mentioned the Flying Eagle Gang." If it weren't for the tattoo on their arm, Xie Chongning would also associate these two things together.
Mu Yu also had some impressions, but after the second uncle was arrested, there was no news about the so-called Flying Eagle Gang, and she didn't pay attention to it anymore, but she didn't expect that these three people could also be from the Flying Eagle Gang.
"One is a two-bedroom, and one is a three-bedroom?" How could it be such a coincidence? Is this Flying Eagle Gang targeting them Luanping Marquis Mansion? Mu Yu couldn't figure it out at all.
"So you have to be more careful." Xie Chongning reminded that although he didn't know why the Flying Eagle Gang had chosen the Luanping Marquis Mansion twice, it was always necessary to let Mu Yu be more careful. "I'll send someone to protect you, but you have to be safe."
"No, I shouldn't be that dangerous." Mu Yu refused, things should not be to this point, and she and Xie Chongning have not yet married, and it is a bit exaggerated to send someone to protect herself.
It's just that Xie Chongning said this, not to get her consent, but to inform her in advance, Xie Chongning's deep eyes fell on Mu Yu, "I have the responsibility to protect your safety." β
The low and resolute voice surrounded Mu Yu's ears, her heart beat fast, her eyes were a little dry, and there was an indescribable relief.
"Actually...... I ......" Mu Yu's mouth was dry, and he didn't know what he wanted to answer for a while.
It's just that she hung her head, her thick eyelashes couldn't help trembling, remembering that Mu Yu intended to keep a distance from herself, Xie Chongning added coldly, "There is a marriage contract, I should protect your safety." β
