Chapter 27: Night Attack on Luzhou

The cold winter is over, no more snowflakes fall, the air is still cold wind, blowing a towering ancient tree in the courtyard, the branches and leaves have been exhausted, the branches have been dried up, this tree should be preserved when the mansion was built.

Mu Yunqi stopped here after returning to the study from the third brother, seemingly looking up at the treetops, but in fact, he listened to the subtle footsteps coming and going outside the courtyard.

Those were the people summoned by the Haoyue Palace, they were all masters of martial arts, and it could be seen from their inaudible footsteps outside the courtyard that it seemed that the Haoyue Palace would make some moves tonight.

She listened quietly to the movement outside the courtyard until night fell, until there were many voices of walking in unison outside the courtyard.

She suddenly turned around and ran out of the hospital, the white light gauze fluttering behind her in a beautiful arc. She ran very fast, and when she saw that there was no one outside the study, she immediately walked towards the bright light that came out of the night.

Far away from the palace gate, I saw a large group of infantry holding torches following the front, and dozens of generals rode on war horses in the direction of the city gate.

She ran to the front and shouted, "Third brother." The voice was urgent, especially loud in the sound of neat steps.

Mu Yunche was sitting on a horse in armor, and he seemed to hear a sound behind him, and he looked back.

Next to the soldier illuminated by a torch, Mu Yunqi hurriedly ran forward, he reined in his horse and waited for her to come.

Running in front of him, she stopped panting and said, "If you want to get out of the battle as soon as possible, you can attack with fire." ”

Hearing that her thoughts were consistent with her own, a smile rose at the corner of Mu Yunche's mouth, and she said softly: "I know, you don't have to run this lie down, go back quickly, this battle is foolproof." His smile dazzled in the darkness.

Mu Yunqi wanted to follow him, but she knew that she would not be allowed, and said worriedly: "You will definitely return safely." ”

She had just been reunited with him, and this battle was a surprise attack, so how could she not worry.

"Let's go back." He raised his head and smiled, and then rode away.

He led the army into the night, and the sound of vibrating footsteps beside him grew farther and farther away. She stood silently in the dark streets, until she could no longer see the shadow of the army.

Turning around, he walked casually towards the gate of the house, and there was no light in the street, and two lanterns hanging outside the gate in the distance shone in the direction.

Approaching the stone steps, I saw Yingtang looking left and right at the door, and before she got close to her, he looked over and trotted towards her.

"Miss." Yingtang took the snow-white mantle and tied it for her.

Mu Yunqi walked to the stone steps and sat down, and the lantern at the vermilion lacquer gate shone her pale face.

"Miss...."Yingtang shouted in a low voice, and Yu Guang glanced at the person who suddenly stood at the door of the mansion.

Mu Yunqi glanced back when he saw her, and saw Gong Huan walking towards her with an indifferent face.

"Is the palace master satisfied?" She asked, slightly mocking.

Gong Huan sneered, walked to the edge of the stone steps, looked down at her with her hands, her thick eyelashes trembled lightly, and her slender figure was wrapped in a big hand, but the words she said made him extremely displeased.

He hooked the corners of his mouth and said, "If Mu Yunche doesn't have the help of Haoyue Palace, he has to become a chopping board fish, do you want him to be slaughtered?" His gaze was contemptuous of her, full of sarcasm.

Mu Yunqi raised his head and looked at him, his face was full of iceberg coldness, which was daunting.

Thinking back to his previous smiles like a spring breeze, those smiles that could melt the snow, I couldn't help but laugh.

is so good-looking smile, why do you have to darken your face, which makes people feel depressed.

"The palace master is a member of the royal family of Jinguo?" She asked, looking at him through the dim candle flame behind her.

From the time the third brother told Haoyue Palace that it was related to Jinguo, she had this guess, and when Bai Ri himself asked him if he could make decisions for Jinguo, his expression aggravated his suspicions, and the third brother's voice stopped her, and she was even more sure of this thought.

Because the third brother knew his identity and knew that he could make decisions for Jinguo, he interrupted his questioning.

"It won't do you any good to know who I am." He said coldly, his face as usual, neither surprised nor disguised.

Mu Yunqi stared at him, wanting to see some answers from his face, but he didn't let her get her wish and turned to leave.

She asked loudly, "Why didn't the palace master go to this night attack?" ”

His back paused for a moment, and then he walked straight into the door, without looking back.

Mu Yunqi looked at his back, and only turned around for a long time, looking at the dark end of the street, waiting for his brother to return.

Yingtang stood beside him silently, looking forward to it with the same mood as her.

At some point, a long shadow appeared behind him in the flickering candlelight.

Mu Yunqi thought that Gong Huan had turned back again, and glanced over, but saw a strange man standing behind him.

She immediately stood up and looked at him, remembering in vain that he was the man she had treated yesterday. He was dressed in gray, looked at her with a sad look on his face, and whispered, "County Lord..."

Yingtang hurriedly looked around to see if anyone heard him.

Mu Yunqi was surprised and watched him open his mouth silently.

He took a step forward and said, "It is reasonable that the county lord does not remember that you were only five years old back then, and you were sealed by the princess. He bowed his head and said with sadness in his tone.

Mu Yunqi recovered his shock and asked, "Are you from the Jin Palace?" ”

"It's not so much a person from the Jin Palace, it's better to say that it's a princess's person, and the master below is the princess." His gaze was one of nostalgia.

"You call her the princess, you're not from Haoyue Palace?" Mu Yunqi asked calmly, his eyes sharp.

The man smiled knowingly, looked at her and opened his lips and said: "The county lord has been very smart since he was a child, and now it seems that even if his memory is sealed, that wisdom has not diminished at all." ”

He then looked at the night and continued: "Back then, my family was poor, and the winter wind and cold burned for half a month, and I was abandoned on the road by my parents because I had no money for medical treatment. Later, the princess rescued her on the way, and only then did she pick up a cheap life and follow her. ”

"Where were you when she threw herself into the fire?" Mu Yunqi gradually revealed her grief, even if she had no memory, the picture of the woman walking into the sea of fire in her dream made her heart twist every time she thought about it.

The man's face exuded a look of remorse, and his eyes recalled: "When the city gate was broken, the princess ordered the soldiers of the Jin Dynasty to send me away, I was only an eleven-year-old child at that time, what could I change......" He lowered his head and let out a tear, which fell on the stone steps.

Mu Yunqi's heart ached faintly, as if something was surging up, she squatted down in pain and covered her chest.

The man stepped forward in a panic to check the pulse, and said, "The county lord can't think about it, your meridians are blocked, and it may be extremely dangerous to forcibly break through." ”

Yingtang held her body and let her lean in his arms.

After a long time, her chaotic aura slowly calmed down and asked, "You may be able to solve my meridians?" ”

Since he is familiar with her condition, he must also inherit the medical skills from Bai Fanxi, and since she teaches her, he must understand her technique of sealing the meridians, and if he knows how to seal it, he will know how to unseal it, which is much better than her own random thinking.

He helped Mu Yunqi to stand up slowly, frowned and said: "The princess's medical skills are outstanding, I only have learned a little bit of the true inheritance, if you want to unseal it, I'm afraid it will not be easy, I have to think carefully before I can know." ”

Hearing him answer like this, Mu Yunqi put his mind at ease and said softly: "In this way, there will be a lot of work." She remembered that the third brother had called him like this that day, so she blurted out.

"In Xia Bairong, he got this name after being rescued by the princess, and later this surname was easy to be suspected in the rivers and lakes, so it was called Yirong." He arched his hand, a smile on his face.

Mu Yunqi raised a smile and said, "How did you find the third brother's subordinates?" ”

"General Mu knows——-" Before he finished speaking, he was stopped by Mu Yunqi waving his hand.

There was a subtle sound from the roof tiles, and there seemed to be a lot of footsteps stepping on it.

She listened intently, then glanced at Yingtang, waved her finger and pointed to the house. Of course, the man knew that someone had entered the house through the eaves, and she said that she would follow him to inspect it.

Yingtang nodded at the same time as him, watching her enter the house lightly and disappear into the night.
