She was indeed very sleepy, she basically didn't sleep much on the ship the day before, and now when she arrived on land, she planned to go to bed earlier, but she tossed in the middle of the night, and drank the decoction, and her mental and physical fatigue reached the limit, so she finally couldn't hold on.

Mu Churan put her down beside him, and then he also lay down and slept with her.

It was dawn.

When Xiao He woke up, he saw a hand on his chest, thinking it was a red bead, but when he turned his head to look, he saw Mu Churan's face.

Although the face was handsome and heroic, she was in no mood to appreciate it at the moment.

In a panic, she hurriedly pushed him away, but because of the slightly larger range of movements, she fell to the edge of the bed, lost her balance, and fell to the ground.

Liu Zixin, who had been guarding outside all night, suddenly heard a noise in the house and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter with the son?" ”

Mu Churan also woke up, looked at Xiao He who fell to the ground, couldn't help laughing, and reached out to pull her, but she opened her hand angrily.

Xiao He immediately reacted, he was really sleepy, and even the emperor's hand dared to hit. At this time, I heard Liu Zixin outside asking, "What's the matter with Childe?" ”

Mu Churan replied loudly: "It's okay." Then he continued to reach out to pull Xiao He. Xiao He saw that the expression on his face was not very different, and there was no anger, so he grabbed his outstretched hand, was lifted by him, and stood up.

Early in the morning, Dr. Song sent freshly prepared trauma medicine and asked Mu Churan to apply it to the wound.

Everyone came over to greet Mu Churan's injury, and Xiao He took the opportunity to retreat. When she woke up in the morning and fell from the bed, her buttocks hurt so much that when she went out, she couldn't help but hold her back with her hands, and she was a little unsteady when she walked.

Knowing that she had been with Mu Churan last night, such as Liu Zixin and Doctor Song, seeing her like this, she sighed in her heart. Especially Liu Zixin, he is manly, and he is deeply disgusted with those pretentious people, but he didn't expect Xiao He to flatter the lord with a man's body, and sent himself to the dragon couch, and scolded him a hundred times in his heart.

Sighing and regretting that Mu Churan should have been a generation of Ming Jun, upright, standing up to the sky, how could he prefer Longyang, and still get involved with his own courtiers, it is really a great sorrow and a disaster for the people.

Xiao He only felt a chill behind him, and he didn't notice Liu Zixin's hatred poisoning his gaze at all.

Since Mu Churan was injured, for the sake of safety, Dr. Song suggested waiting for two days before continuing to travel.

Mu Churan only rested in the room for half a day, and he was going to this oolong town to observe the people's feelings, so naturally a group of people followed closely behind. They arrived at the only market in town. Although the market is small, it is also very lively, because today is the market day, and the people from the nearby towns come here with their own goods.

Most of the markets in this town are bartered, which makes Mu Churan look fresh.

Liu Zixin followed at the end of the team, very vigilant, for fear that there would be another mess. Xiao He was also worried that the black-clothed man from last night would definitely appear, since someone was coming directly at Mu Chu, it meant that at least in this Oolong Town, their group was acting under the watchful eye of others.

So she also paid a little attention to the movement around her.

Suddenly, someone on the street threw out a handful of copper coins and shouted, "Long live the money!" The surrounding people rushed up like bees, bent down to pick it up, but they all showed that Mu Churan and his party were still standing up straight, as if standing out from the crowd.

Liu Zixin immediately saw someone on the corner of the street putting a dark arrow, he flew forward with his sword, blocked two arrows, and hurriedly ordered the people next to him: "Protect the son!" He himself caught up with him, and was about to capture the man.

Mu Churan saw that the man dared to shoot arrows on the street, disregarding the safety of other people's lives, so he ordered people to retreat to the street shops first. Since their goal is themselves, they should avoid crowded places so as not to hurt the innocent.

Listening to Mu Churan's instructions, Xiao He was a little surprised. She said in her heart, you are innocent?

They retreated to the shop, only to learn that they had been ambushed, and there were already several swordsmen waiting here, and it was the king who was invited to enter the urn. Xiao He was closest to Mu Churan, and as soon as the two of them stepped into the shop, someone inside closed the door.

The knife jumped out with a knife in hand, attacked from all directions, and shouted in his mouth: "Avenge Lord Taifu!" Kill the Dog Emperor! ”

Xiao He immediately understood that this group of people was the remnants of the crown prince Tang Qinghua, who had been lurking for many years, just to avenge the murder of the king. She sneered in her heart, she actually met like-minded people in this town.

Outside the door, Mu Churan's accompanying guards and others desperately slammed on the door, but the people inside also resisted each other, and the two sides were deadlocked.

Mu Churan had an injury on his leg, and his movements were naturally not as flexible as before, but after all, he had an excellent martial arts foundation, and it was more than enough to deal with ordinary miscellaneous pieces. He was in front of Xiao He at this time, in fact, although he knew that she knew some kung fu, but in the face of so many knives, he still couldn't help but worry that she would be injured.

Xiao He had a soft whip wrapped around his belt, and he would naturally use it if necessary, but at the moment, Mu Churan was in front of him, with a posture of wanting to protect himself. She simply let it go and waited to see what happened.

Mu Churan made a short sword, dancing with silver light, and it was impenetrable within a few minutes, so that the six swordsmen could not drop the sword. It's just that he cares about Xiao He, he only defends and doesn't attack, and he is recognized by the other party in a moment.

"Deal with the little man next to the Dog Emperor first!"

With an order from the leader, all the moves came towards Xiao He. Xiao He is not a weak person who can only tremble when she is pulled aside, she saw that those who had no eyesight thought that they had picked a soft persimmon, pulled out a soft whip, and opened a killing ring.

Xiao He's soft whip is like a thin snake, and wherever it goes, a bite will leave a finger with blood marks. In just a moment, the faces and hands of the three people closest to Xiao He were gone. Her soft whip was as sharp as a blade, and it cut through her clothes.

After a few rounds, although they were burly, they couldn't get any benefit in front of Xiao He.

Xiao He couldn't hold the long knives of those little minions, fell to the ground, stepped on the wooden cabinet on the side, and flew straight towards the person who was the leader. This person's martial arts are obviously not general, and he can also make a few moves with Xiao He.

At this time, the door was broken, and Liu Zixin, Han Qiu and others who knew martial arts broke in. The situation in the house was reversed in an instant, and as soon as the men saw that the assassination was about to be defeated, they began to retreat. After fighting with Xiao He, the little boss also intended to find an opportunity to escape.

When he stretched his hand into his arms, Xiao He raised his leg and stepped on his arm, kicked him out, hit the cabinet over there, fell to the ground, vomited blood, and the lime powder in his arms also spilled on the ground.

"Hmph, if you can't beat it, sprinkle lime powder, that's how Tang Qinghua taught you?" Xiao He snorted coldly and read out the name of the prince and the prince in the past, and the man's body trembled, thinking that he was extremely sad and indignant.

It's just that Mu Churan didn't expect that after a few years, there would still be Tang Qinghua's remnants alive, and he still wanted to kill himself to avenge the traitorous minister. A hint of gloom flashed in his eyes, and he ordered: "Interrogate well, what other comrades are there?" As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the little leader, lying crookedly to the side, and a wisp of blood oozed from the corner of his lips.

Xiao He stepped forward to check it and replied, "There is poison hidden between the teeth. ”

"Come here, let them see." Mu Churan called her, and there was a bit of blame in his words. If he didn't know her identity, it wouldn't be fine, now that he knows that she is a daughter, and he still doesn't pay attention to it, the man's corpse dares to touch it casually.

Xiao He retreated to his side inexplicably. Liu Zixin, who had already subdued the rest of the people and was waiting for the emperor to send him, saw Mu Churan taking care of Xiao He like this on the side, and his heart was full of all kinds of disdain and disdain, and his gaze at Xiao He was also a little colder.

Most of these people committed suicide by biting the poison sac between their teeth after being caught, but there were also cowards who were stopped by Liu Zixin and others after hesitation, leaving them alive, and brought them back for interrogation.

They were originally the forces of the rivers and lakes cultivated by Tang Qinghua back then, and after Tang Qinghua was beheaded to show the public, they hibernated. A few days ago, I got the news from above and knew that Mu Churan was out of the palace and went south, so there were people monitoring the caravan vehicles and ships from the imperial capital along the way to find Mu Churan's whereabouts.

They were just one of them, and there were thirty or forty other people lurking in different places.

"The hundred-legged insect dies but does not stiffen." Mu Churan sneered and sighed.

He ordered people to ask for further details, such as the strongholds of the forces, the names of the leaders, the contact information between them, and so on. Before the man could finish speaking, he vomited blood and died. Dr. Song stepped forward to check and said that this person had taken something, thinking that their organization was worried that after the failure, they expected that someone would steal life and refuse to bite the poison sac, so they used this move to double protection.

But in this way, there is no way to live. Investigating the affairs of the rivers and lakes, if there is no insider, it may be difficult to find out the truth.

According to the previous news, the other party has already known the route of Mu Churan's trip, and has also dealt with it twice, so he knows the entourage. And they don't know anything about each other. As the saying goes, the enemy is in the dark and I am in the open, and it is really a tough battle.

However, it is known that the news has come out of the imperial capital, and I am afraid that some people don't want Mu Churan to go south to check the matter of the river embankment.

Sure enough, someone in the entourage immediately advised Mu Churan to return to the imperial capital for safety. Mu Churan didn't doubt the loyalty of the team he had selected, but what he had to do, no one in the world could stop him.

Mu Churan opened his mouth indifferently, divided the team into three, went on the road separately, and converged in Huaizuo.

He took Liu Zixin, Xiao He and Hongzhu as a team, rented a carriage and traveled by land, and it took about two days to reach Huaizuo. The other group set out by water and land, at different times.

Obviously, he has been targeted by organized and planned assassins now, and Mu Churan has to take risks and scatter his manpower. As soon as these words came out, only Xiao He saw that his intention was to make the target small and disrupt the enemy's sight. It's dangerous, but the world can only be won by surprise.

Others couldn't disagree, and Xiao Luzi was sad all the way when he saw that he wasn't taken by Mu Churan. Xiao He instructed Han Qiu to follow Doctor Song, increase vigilance on the road, and pay more attention to the assassins' movements.

Then they sorted it out a little and set off separately.
