Chapter 44: Removing the Inner Ghosts

"Yes, miss."

Jixiang and Hu Zhao retired.

……

After lunch, Mu Qingwan was tinkering with medicinal herbs in the courtyard, which was found locally by the shopkeeper somewhere and sent to the capital by a caravan.

At this time, Ruyi walked quickly into the courtyard with a small sandalwood box in his arms and came to Mu Qingwan's side.

Ruyi bent down and whispered in Mu Qingwan's ear, and saw that Mu Qingwan quickly took the box in Ruyi's hand and didn't open it, so she hurriedly entered the house, Ruyi followed closely behind, and closed the door smoothly.

Hearing the inside of the room, Mu Qingwan lowered her voice and asked.

"How? I guess no one has found out. ”

"Miss rest assured, her subordinates are very cautious, and they deliberately came back several times to ensure that no one noticed."

Ruyi patted his chest and swore to Mu Qingwan.

"That's good, it's a big deal, and it must not be leaked, otherwise...... Remember, even fathers and mothers can't be told. ”

Mu Qingwan was not at ease, and once again told Ruyi to be cautious.

"It's Miss, my subordinates swear to keep it secret!"

Ruyi is also colorful, no longer the triumphant appearance just now.

"Alright, you go out first."

Mu Qingwan sent Ruyi out, waiting for only one person left in the room. Mu Qingwan got up, then found a place to hide the box, tried several places, and finally solemnly stuffed the box under the bed.

After doing this, Mu Qingwan carefully looked at the room again and made sure that there was no problem before going out.

"Ruyi, let's go see my brother."

"Yes, miss."

Mu Qingwan followed Ruyi, the master and servant went out of the courtyard one after the other, and went straight to Mrs. Mu's residence.

"I'll go outside the house, you take care of the courtyard, and no one is allowed to come in, you know?"

An hour later, Jixiang was about to go outside the house to help Mu Qingwan buy fillings for moon cakes, so he left the courtyard.

After another hour had passed, I saw a little maid quietly enter the courtyard, first tidying up the courtyard a few times as if nothing had happened, and then looking around.

"Sister Jixiang, are you here?"

"Sister Ruyi?"

The maid called softly, and the courtyard was quiet, and no one answered.

The little maid walked nimbly towards Mu Qingwan's room, and gently pushed the door in. She looked around the room, walked straight towards Mu Qingwan's bed, and then reached under the bed.

"Ahh

The little maid suddenly screamed, quickly withdrew her hand, and then had to use her other hand to cover her mouth tightly.

The hand that reached under the bed unexpectedly took out a small sandalwood box, which was the one that Mu Qingwan had put in before. It's just that the maid's hand is now drenched in blood, and she still has this trap in her hand, which is still the kind of trap against fierce beasts.

The maid's face was pale, cold sweat flowed, her teeth bit her lip stubbornly, but she didn't make a sound.

With her other hand, she opened the trap, and the maid picked up the small box and prepared to go out.

"Bai Zhi, why are you in Miss's room?"

The one who secretly entered Mu Qingwan's house to get the sandalwood box was Bai Zhi, and Bai Zhi was actually an inner ghost!

It's just that as soon as Bai Zhi went out, she ran into Bai Qi who rushed over after hearing the sound. I don't know if it's a coincidence or whatever, Bai Qi, who has always liked to stay in the kitchen, also came to the yard.

"Get out of here!"

At this time, Bai Zhi looked at Bai Qi coldly, where is there still the delicate and lively on weekdays.

"Your hands bleed? What did you do? ”

Bai Qi's face turned pale and looked at Bai Zhi with some horror.

"Hypocrisy."

Bai Zhi spat out two words from her mouth with disdain, and then walked straight around Bai Qi.

"You!"

Bai Qi's face was a little embarrassed to be seen through, and he looked at Bai Zhi's back with complicated eyes.

Bai Zhi had only walked a dozen steps before stopping, staring straight ahead.

"Bai Zhi, you betrayed Miss!"

Jixiang appeared directly in front of Bai Zhi and sharply accused Bai Zhi. Mu Qingwan, Ruyi and Hu Zhao followed, silent.

"Hehe, never allegiance, where did the betrayal come from."

Although Bai Zhi was laughing at this time, there was no emotional fluctuation in his eyes, such a person was a typical cultivated dead man.

Bai Zhi stopped talking, stuffed the sandalwood box into his chest, and then popped out a short sword from his sleeve and ran straight towards Mu Qingwan and the others.

Bai Zhi is an extraordinary martial artist herself, but she didn't know martial arts before.

Bai Zhi is a dead hand, and her moves are close to the point. In front of him, Ji Xiang was able to avoid Bai Zhi's sword, but his arm was scratched.

didn't have time to think about it, almost in the blink of an eye, Mu Qingwan, Ruyi and Hu Zhao pulled out the soft sword wrapped around their waists and exchanged hands with Bai Zhi.

Bai Zhi was born with divine power, like a tiger with wings, and the four of Mu Qingwan's master and servant joined forces to tie with Bai Zhi, and it was when Bai Zhi's hand was injured.

Mu Qingwan was shocked in her heart, she was usually practicing diligently, and the martial arts of Ji Xiang Ruyi and Hu Zhao were also above her, but the four of them could only tie with Bai Zhi when they joined forces! His subordinates are becoming more and more careless in their moves.

Bai Zhi shuttled between the four people, moving with ease, as if playing a game of cat and mouse. Mu Qingwan was even more nervous in her heart, she really underestimated her opponent this time. But who would have thought?

"Miss, you go quickly!"

Bai Qi, who no one was paying attention to, suddenly rushed out, hugged Bai Zhi, and shouted at Mu Qingwan.

Bai Zhi stopped what she was doing and smiled contemptuously.

"Bai Qi, get out of the way!"

As soon as Mu Qingwan saw that the situation was not good, she immediately let Bai Qi go.

However, it was too late.

Bai Zhi backhanded a sword, stabbing directly into Bai Qi's body behind him, and forcefully sent the sword a few more points.

It happened very suddenly, and Mu Qingwan and the others didn't have time to take precautions.

Mu Qingwan frowned, saying that it was too late, then quickly, Mu Qingwan waved her sleeves lightly, and sprinkled a handful of powder on Bai Zhi.

Bai Zhi's injured hand was held in Bai Qi's arms, and the other hand was still holding the sword. By the time he raised his hand to cover his mouth and nose, it was too late.

Disbelief flashed in his eyes, and Bai Zhi's body fell straight to the ground, along with Bai Zhi's body.

"Tie it up. Find Uncle Mu Qi! ”

The ecstasy was made by Mu Qingwan herself, and it has been experimented many times, and the effect is dozens of times better than that of ordinary sweat medicine. Mu Qingwan hurriedly ordered Hu Zhao and others to tie up Bai Zhi and notify Mu Qi to come over, just in case.

Mu Qingwan stepped forward to check Bai Qi's wounds, but unfortunately, there was nothing she could do. The face pierced directly into the heart, Mu Qingwan knew medical skills, but he was not a god.

"Miss, ahem. I'm not going to die. ”

Bai Qi's small eyes, pupils began to dilate.

"Sister, the slave maid deceived Miss, ahem. The slave is not the daughter of a snake catcher, the Taoist priest said that the slave and the maid are born to be close, and those who are close to the slave and the maid will be killed, and the slave and the maid are an ominous person. But the young lady did not dislike it, and gave the slave and maid a face, and the slave and maid were able to eat and have new clothes to wear, and the slave and maid were content. ”

……

Bai Qi died, which Mu Qingwan didn't expect.

Su Mei and the others, who were arranged to other places, also came back, and together with Hu Zhao and others, they tied up Bai Zhi, Bai Zhi was born with divine power, and hid it with iron chains just in case, and fed the soft tendon powder developed by Mu Qingwan.
