Chapter 328: The Endgame Is Approaching
"There was a fire! There was a fire! β
On the peaceful night of the previous year, a few exclamations broke the silence, and the people gathered around the fire came out of the 'door' of their homes one after another, and rushed to the Dingyuan palace in shock.
The fire started in the side courtyard and soon set the entire row of houses on fire, and Xiao Bo and his subordinates desperately fetched water to put out the fire, but they still could not stop the fire from spreading. Fortunately, the surrounding people soon arrived, and you and I finally put out the fire before the fire completely destroyed the house.
"Two less 'milk' and 'milk'! Two less 'milk' and 'milk'! Looking at the side courtyard that had turned into a scorched earth, the old Xiao Bo was whining and crying, if it wasn't for everyone to stop him, he was afraid that he would have rushed into the ruins that were about to fall apart.
It was snowing heavily and it was cold, and no one expected that a fire would break out at such a time, and by the time they found it, the fire was already so big that there was no way to rush into the house to save people. The subordinates of the Dingyuan Palace's mansion shouted hoarsely, trying to find their worries from the ruins after the fire raged, and finally squeezed out a figure from the ruins after half an hour.
"Mu, Mu Daxia?" Seeing Mu Jiuge appear out of nowhere, holding his pale but undamaged words in the crook of his arm, Xiao Bo was overjoyed, "Thank God, thank God!" The second young 'milk' and 'milk' are fine, it's really an eye-opener! β
"Go call the doctor."
Mu Jiuge's face was heavy, he tore off the scorched hair on his forehead that was scorched by the hot air 'waves', and walked through the crowd to send Yan Liwu to a safe room.
The people who helped dispersed, and the subordinates were busy in and out, and Xiao Bo and several elderly 'maids' gathered around the 'bed' and looked at them anxiously.
Yan Liwu was not harmed, and his consciousness was very clear, but his face was frighteningly pale, beads of sweat on his forehead kept sliding, and his hand on his bulging abdomen trembled, cold as freezing.
"Hot water is coming!"
"The doctor is here!"
The busy little guy shouted almost at the same time, Xiao Bo and the others hurriedly gave the doctor a way out, Mu Jiuge sat at the head of the 'bed', and the steady brother generally held the hand of Yan Liwu to give warmth and comfort.
The doctor probed the pulse and said with a sigh of relief: "It's okay, the mother and son are safe." However, the second less "milk" and "milk" long-term anxiety is not easy to keep the fetus, and the action is too "excited" to inevitably affect the fetal gas. β
Mu Jiuge thanked the doctor, gave Uncle Xiao a look, and invited the doctor out of the room with the other scary people.
"Uncle Xiao, where's the big girl?" Mu Jiuge patted Yan Li to comfort him a little, and turned around and asked.
Xiao Bo was shocked, but he was still a little distraught: "Da Shao's 'milk' and 'milk'...... Oh, the young 'milk' and 'milk' went to the hospital to get the 'medicine' for the eldest son, the road is far and slippery, and it will take a while to come back. β
"Bi Xiao has been with me for the past two days, and she doesn't have much time to take care of my eldest brother, which is enough to tire her." Yan Liwu pulled the wine song and said softly.
She is pregnant with a child and needs to be taken care of, and Bi Xiao is plagued by nightmares every night, so why not be a person who needs to be taken care of? Yan Liwu didn't want to be complained by Mu Jiuge because of this kind of thing, so he rushed to defend Bi Xiao before Mu Jiuge.
Mu Jiuge naturally understood the meaning of the words, and smiled dumbly and bitterly: "Look at you in a hurry, where am I willing to blame the big girl?" You rest first, I'll talk to the doctor, and I'll tell you something later. β
Yan Liwu nodded, and watched Xiao Bo and Mu Jiuge go out of the 'door', and after the surroundings quieted down, he couldn't help but clench his fists.
Just now, she picked up a life from the 'yin' yang road.
At that time, with her speed, she could never dodge the oil spilled, and at the last moment, Mu Jiuge suddenly appeared and carried her aside, stepped through the roof tiles and fell into the house, which saved her from a mortal fire.
Although Mu Jiuge reacted quickly, he still couldn't stop the arsonist, the oil and torches on the roof soon caused a fire, and the fetal gas in the process of falling down, the abdominal pain was unbearable, and Mu Jiuge was in a hurry to take care of her, and the two were trapped in the sea of fire.
If she was worried, she would inevitably panic, and at that time, she witnessed the reason why Mu Jiuge could become a Zhongzhou Ranger - she was not 'chaotic' in danger, and she was calm and unhurried, Mu Jiuge calmly chose to take her to hide in the corner and wait for the people outside the house to extinguish the fire, instead of seeking death to go into the fire.
The people who can be accepted as apprentices by the autumn water are not ordinary people.
In addition, there are even greater worries about Yan Liwu, which is also a huge dilemma that makes it difficult for her to lie on the couch.
Why is Mu Jiu Ge here? Nearly half a month ago, he should have left Dingyuan County and gone to Wanxia! Could it be ......
Something happened in Wanxia?
Or is it warm and affectionate......
Yan Liwu didn't dare to think about it, but he couldn't stop thinking about it, and finally got up from the couch without caring about the abdominal pain.
"Miss Yan, if you refuse to rest like this, I won't dare to say anything to you!" Mu Jiuge raised his hands with an embarrassed expression, "I have been warned again and again that if I fail to take care of you, I may have to spend the rest of my life in isolation." β
Mu Jiuge was so aggrieved that he was powerless to refute it, so he had to lie down honestly, staring at Mu Jiuge with a little sad eyes.
"Actually, this time it's really Miss Yan's fate, I just rushed back and saw someone on the roof, if I take a step later, the consequences will be unimaginable." Speaking of the horror of a moment ago, Mu Jiuge felt palpitations and couldn't help but be much more serious, "When I went out just now, Uncle Xiao told me all the strange things that had happened in the past few days. It's not me nagging, Miss Yan, threats and intimidation can be big or small, how can you and the big girl take it lightly and be completely unvigilant? β
"Bi Xiao's condition has not been very good lately, and we really can't spare the 'spirit' to track down the villain hiding in the shadows. It was indeed our carelessness, I didn't expect the other party to take such an extreme way, I thought that person just hated me, but I didn't know that he hated me to the point of killing me. β
Mu Jiuge thoughtfully 'rubbed' the tip of his nose: "What is the possible identity of this person, does Miss Yan have a guess?" β
"It should be someone who loves his father, so he will stay to avenge his father and something like that." Bowing his head slightly, his tone weakened a little, "Mo Qing also said that there is no guarantee that everyone can understand my difficulties, not everyone trusts me, and if anyone wants to think that I am a bad person, there is no way to do it." But ......"
There are still many doubts about the identity of the infiltrator.
Judging from the fact that he heard someone sneaking in and the footprints on the eaves, this person must have come from outside. But after the previous incident, Yan Li checked that the ink splashed on the snowdrift came from the study, which means that the man did not prepare anything by himself, and went straight to the study to grind and use it after sneaking into the palace.
If you are not familiar with the Dingyuan Palace, how can you be so bold and familiar?
The slight frowning brows showed the hesitation of Yan Li, Mu Jiuge was quiet, and suddenly whispered: "The cook told Uncle Xiao one thing just now, she said that half a bucket of rapeseed oil was lost in the kitchen. β
Yan Liwu gasped, and his anxious eyes met Mu Jiuge's eyes.
"So...... Mu Daxia also feels that this person's identity is very contradictory, right? β
"If it's a contradiction, it's more complicated." Mu Jiuge raised his head and looked at the ceiling thoughtfully, "I am familiar with the environment in the mansion, I know the storage location of things well, and I know very well that you have moved to the side courtyard to live temporarily, no matter how you look at it, you are all from the palace; However, this person has to infiltrate to make 'chaos', and it conflicts with the people in the palace. β
"Could it be one of the people who left the palace?" Yan Liwu had a flash of inspiration, and then shook his head to deny his speculation, "No, even if the people who left before, it can't be said that they know that I am coming back and moving to a side courtyardβunless someone in the mansion reports the news." β
If this speculation continues, almost all the people who have served in the palace will be suspicious, and even the loyal subordinates who remain in the palace will be labeled as suspicious.
Yan Liwu really didn't want to think so, she felt that everyone in the palace treated her very well, tolerated her, understood her, and was willing to accept her even after such a sad tragedy, in such a gentle and kind group of people, would there really be someone who wanted to kill her with a hypocritical mask?
Mu Jiuge was accustomed to 'sex' and 'rubbing' the tip of his nose, and after thinking about it again, he gently leaned over and said something in his ear.
The more he listened to it, the more frightened he became, and when Mu Jiuge finished speaking, the unbelievable 'color' had completely covered his expression, and his jagged fingerbones stiffly grabbed the quilt, but he didn't react for a long time.
β»β»β»
The wind was cold, the golden watch was far away, and the Wanxia military camp, which had been suspended for several days, was wafting around with a heavy snoring sound, almost obliterating the cold wind.
In such a peaceful night, some people have no intention of enjoying sleep with their eyes open, a pair of ink-colored eyes with flat eyebrows lowered, and a gentle smile and a wisp of lovesickness on the corners of their mouths.
"It's windy in the city, and the prince has been sitting alone for a long time, do you want to show off that you're in good health?" In the moonlit 'color', Chu Ci walked slowly wrapped in a heavy fox fur cloak, glanced at the rouge box in Wen Moqing's hand, and teased and chuckled, "Oh, it turned out that I was missing the princess, I disturbed." β
Chu Ci, a 'shrewd' person, has always pursued the principle of not going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing.
Specially ran from the imperial capital to the Wanxia military camp, Wen Moqing knew that Chu Ci must have something important to say to him, so he didn't raise his head or reply, only carefully put away the box of rouge that was going to be given to Yan Li, and then still sat quietly against the wall.
Chu Ci walked behind Wen Moqing, raised his eyes and looked at the vast land outside the city, his cloak hunting in the cold wind.
"I used to think that the prince was an old stubborn who didn't understand the amorous feelings, and even the peerless 'color' and 'girl' of the Qinglian King would sit still in front of him and not be 'chaotic' - well, this is a bit of a deviation, and in the end, the son of the world was really hooked by the world's unique 'color'."
Wen Moqing raised his eyebrows, and glanced at the afterglow.
"Just kidding, of course I know that there is a difference between King Qinglian and Miss Yan." Tightening the collar of the cloak, Chu Ci put his arm on Wen Moqing's shoulder very naturally, "Among all of them, the prince is the one I can't guess the most, as if I didn't expect that the prince would do this for Dayuan, and even endure the pain of separation, just to protect the land of Dayuan." β
"I have my reasons."
Chu Ci looked sideways, still with the expression of An Ran, who knew everything: "Is Tong like General Tong?" Although I haven't seen it, I've heard a lot of rumors about General Tong, and the 'sexual' personality of the prince is quite similar to General Tong, so I think I must have a good relationship with General Tong. β
Regarding Tong Ruchu's matter, Wen Moqing chose to be silent, but it was not surprising that Chu Ci was surprisingly accurate and speculated.
"Foxes are always cunning."
"The son of the world has won the award." I don't know where to conjure up a bag of dates, Chu Ci ate it with relish in the cold wind, squinted his eyes slightly and seemed to enjoy it very much, "By the way, Mu Daxia came back a few days ago, but there is no one in sight yet, I think, it must be the prince who 'handed over' Mu Daxia something to entrust him, right?" β
Wen Mo got up suddenly, and unceremoniously snatched the remaining half of the bag of dates from Chu Ci's hand.
"Knowingly asked. You found out the news that Hoth was planning a decisive battle in a few days, and you wanted to ask me why I didn't go back to Dingyuan County? When the war is over, I will find you to settle old scores. β
