Chapter 289: Diverting the Tiger from the Mountain
Meng Zhixiang narrowed his eyes: "Do you think she may be fabricating facts and continuing to lie to me?" β
"Not necessarily. But she said that the county lord is an assassin, and this matter can involve the Dong family, whether it is confusing or not, we have to find out the truth, and we can't be unguarded against her! β
Meng Zhixiang nodded, feeling that what he said also made some sense.
"My son is afraid that she is designed to gain your trust, but in fact, she wants to provoke discord between my Meng family and the Dong family, so that the Tang family has the opportunity to reap the benefits of the fisherman......"
Meng Zhixiang looked determined and said with a smile: "My son reminded me." β
Meng Yiye raised his eyebrows: "Father has taken precautions?" β
"I have already asked someone to detain Tang Shiqi in the flower hall, and I will make plans when the results are here. After all, those who have broken their faith with me will never be trusted. β
Meng Yiye bowed again: "The father is far-sighted, and the son admires." The son went back to take care of the guests, and asked the father to be more careful. β
Meng Yiye left, but his eyes were cunning, and Meng Zhixiang did not delay and immediately returned to the cell to continue interrogating Hua Rou, but as soon as he entered the cell, he saw Hua Rou who was hanging up with her head drooping, and two attendants were surrounding her and pinching people, and touching the veins of her neck.
"What's wrong?" Meng Zhixiang stepped forward in surprise, and the two attendants were a little flustered: "Master, she's out of breath!" β
"How is that possible? She is a celestial vein, how can this bit of poison ......" Meng Zhixiang reached out and touched Hua Rou's neck vein, and then he glared at Hua Rou who was drooping her head, in disbelief: "Really...... He's dead? How could it be ......"
Meng Zhixiang turned his head to look at the porcelain vase on the table, gritted his teeth and said, "She's not a celestial vein...... She's not...... Tang Shiqi! β
Meng Zhixiang turned around and walked out of the house angrily, the two attendants look at me, I look at you, at a loss.
At this time, in the flower hall, Tang Shiqi was sitting on a chair, holding a fan in her hand, with a sad expression, and three guards were pacing back and forth around her.
Suddenly, a strange fragrance wafted, and the three guards rolled their eyes and fell to the ground, although the fan in Tang Shiqi's hand fell to the ground, and her head was a little dizzy, but after all, she had been exposed to poison and tolerated some, so she was still sober.
"II...... Son? Meng Yiye who appeared in front of her surprised her, but the next second the sleeping hole was lit, and she fell asleep completely.
Mu Junwu caught her with one hand, bent down to pick up the fan, picked up Tang Shiqi and exited the flower hall, jumped straight to the roof, and placed her on the roof.
The contents of the waist seal made Mu Junwu a little surprised, and he quickly put the burst pipe and other things into his sleeve pocket, and then he stared at Tang Shiqi and rolled his eyes.
I can spare your life if you betray Hua Rou, but it is impossible for you to have another chance to hurt her. You'd better forget everything too, lest you hurt others again.
Mu Junwu took out a pill, stuffed it into Tang Shiqi's mouth, jumped down, and left in a hurry.
As soon as he left, Meng Zhixiang rushed into the flower hall with people, and as a result, all he could see was that the three guards on duty all fell to the ground, unconscious, and as for Tang Shiqi, she was gone.
The attendants were smart and self-conscious, and immediately stepped forward to check on these guards.
Someone splashed the faces of the guards with tea, and one of the guards woke up.
"What's going on?"
The guard on duty looked dazed: "I smelled a scent of flowers, and then ...... I don't know anything. β
"Where's she?"
The guard looked at the empty chair and was speechless for a moment.
Meng Zhixiang frowned and shouted: "The whole city is under martial law, be sure to arrest her back for me!" β
The attendant quickly retreated.
Meng Zhixiang stood there angrily, cursing in his mouth: "Bastard! In vain, I was so guarded and was calculated by you! In that case, don't blame my men for showing no mercy......"
Halfway through his words, he suddenly thought of something, turned around and sprinted, shouting, "Follow me!" β
A group of attendants hurriedly followed.
They rushed back to the cell, because Meng Zhixiang suddenly thought of a possibility - to transfer the tiger away from the mountain.
So, when they rushed back to the cell in a frenzy, they saw that Hua Rou had disappeared, and there were only the corpses of two servants on the ground.
"Catch!" Meng Zhixiang was simply madly angry: "Arrest them all for me!" Catch it back! β
Just when Meng Zhixiang was crazy, Mu Junwu, who pretended to be Meng Yiye, had already carried Hua Rou into the firewood room in the other courtyard, he put Hua Rou on the firewood and grass, and then used his palm against Hua Rou's heart.
Soon, Hua Rou's body trembled, and then she began to breathe.
Mu Junwu leaned to Hua Rou's ear and called softly: "Hua Rou, Hua Rou." β
Hua Rou opened her eyes and looked at him for a moment before grabbing his arm and calling softly, "Jungo! β
Mu Junwu breathed a long sigh of relief, immediately hugged her into his arms, and muttered, "It's good to wake up." β
"Did I really hold my breath successfully?" Hua Rou was suspiciousβthat morning, when the two of them were "wandering" the Dong family's camp, Mu Junwu taught her a set of methods of holding her breath and stopping breath that she had learned from the Prophet's Temple, and used it to deal with the out-of-control changes.
Although Hua Rou memorized the exercises, it was also a risky attempt, and Mu Junwu was afraid that she would not wake up if she made a mistake, so she was also a little afraid at the moment.
"You succeeded, but it scared me."
Hua Rou withdrew from Mu Junwu's arms: "I didn't expect us to really lose......"
"The situation is urgent, there is no time to delay." Mu Junwu pulled out a waiter's clothes from the pile of firewood and grass and handed them to Hua Rou: "Hurry up and change into it, and leave the house with me." β
Hua Rou looked at the clothes and was stunned: "You were prepared?" β
Mu Junwu urged urgently: "I'll talk about it later, hurry up, it'll be trouble if it's late." β
Hua Rou didn't dare to say much, she quickly put on her clothes, and when she was buttoning them, she suddenly remembered Yu'er: "Wait, Yu'er was also arrested." β
"Where is she locked up?"
Hua Rou shook her head: "I don't know." β
"I'll try to save her again, but you have to get out of here first!" Mu Junwu helped Hua Rou get dressed, and then pulled her out of the firewood room.
There are inevitably people coming in and out of the courtyard, although Hua Rou is already wearing the clothes of a waiter, but it is still too risky to walk out in front of a bunch of people in a grand manner.
Therefore, Mu Junwu took her all the way to avoid the family, she could go around, she could hide, and the two of them slipped into a Buddhist hall by mistake, and then Mu Junwu looked at the incense burner in front of the case, and said in a low voice: "Wait for me." β
He came to the incense burner, took out a burst pipe from his arms, inserted it into the incense burner, pulled out the incense next to him, pinched off a piece of the bottom and inserted it back in, and immediately returned to Hua Rou, pulled her and left.
"Where did you get your firearms?"
"Borrowed from Tang Shiqi."
"Tang Shiqi?" Hua Rou was surprised: "What about her?" β
"Don't worry, she won't hurt you anymore."
β¦β¦
At the gate of the courtyard, many families gathered to guard.
Suddenly, a loud explosion sounded in the house, and immediately all the family members rushed into the house.
At this time, Meng Yiye ran out with Hua Rou, untied the horse tied to the horse post, and the two of them each rode a horse and left in a hurry......
