Chu Mubai has come back late these days, and Mo Guhan is a little anxious about overthrowing the Chang family, and has been urging him and Shao Ziqing to investigate.

Shao Ziqing has been in the DPRK for a long time, and he is responsible for investigating the evidence of the Chang family's crimes, and he is responsible for investigating the Bloody Hall under the cover.

He had a token to enter and exit the city gate freely, so although the night was dark and the city gate had already been closed, he could still drive in and go freely on a fast horse with the token in his hand.

The night is really good tonight, as soon as Chu Mubai came out of the city gate, he slowed down, believed in the reins, and slowly considered things.

At this hour, Yuehua should have fallen asleep, but the girl Xiangshen in front of her always rested late, waiting for herself to go back, preparing the boiling water for herself, and occasionally holding out a stack of still steaming snacks, watching herself gobble up with eagerness and anticipation.

He never thought about it much, and he just felt that this girl was diligent and considerate, and she cared for herself. That day, Mo Guhan's words made him panic in an instant, and Xiangshen, this girl, clearly had different thoughts about herself.

His heart has always been full, there is not even a gap, and he can no longer tolerate others. So, can't he continue to enjoy the hospitality of Xiangshen with peace of mind? But he couldn't open his mouth, and told her seriously that he just regarded her as a child and never had any thoughts.

After all, if they live under the same roof together, if they are directly singled out, will it be a little embarrassing for the two to meet again in the future?

These days, he has been evading, and he has been much colder to Xiangshen's good and unprovoked.

Xiang Shen seemed to be aware of it, and often looked at him secretly. Chu Mubai hoped that Xiangshen would be able to retreat by himself, but he gave up this thought.

He stopped and looked at the maple forest in the distance, shrouded in a night as soft as water, and the shadows were heavy, like a dream. He was still hesitating in his heart, not knowing how to face it, he just wanted to hesitate for a while, wait until the incense was resting, and then sneak back to escape the catastrophe.

Three black shadows, silently approaching the maple forest, vigorous and vigorous, a few rabbits fell up and down, like taking off rabbits.

Chu Mubai suddenly became vigilant and his eyes widened. In this maple forest, there are only the graves of the father-in-law and the mother-in-law, and only the Yuehua who guards the tomb.

Afraid of alarming those people, he turned over and dismounted, then stood on tiptoe and rushed towards the maple forest, like an arrow from a string.

It was the last quarter moon, and there was silence in the woods.

The tired birds are not surprised, and several people are very good.

With the help of his amazing eyesight, Chu Mubai found those sneaky black shadows, and was tiptoeing towards the direction of the Yuehua Bamboo House.

Several of them were in good shape, all dressed in tight-fitting night clothes, their movements were neat and clean, silent, like ghosts.

Chu Mubai was stunned, his first thought was that these people were sent by some ill-intentioned concubine in the palace. What are they coming to do?

Chu Mubai decided to stay put, and first see what the purpose of these people was.

The man in black looked in the direction of the bamboo house, made a strange gesture, and then one of them picked up a small pebble from under his feet, bent his fingers, threw the stone to ask for directions, and threw it into the courtyard, making a soft "poof" sound, which was extremely subtle.

The courtyard was still silent, and it was evident that no one heard the movement.

Is this kid asleep? Or do you decide to cast a long line to catch a big fish?

Seeing that the courtyard was silent, the black shadow crept slowly towards the courtyard. They are vigilant, and every few steps they stop, hide behind trees, and look to the left and right.

Chu Mubai didn't dare to get too close, but he was afraid that if Chu Jiu was really careless, Yuehua would be in danger at that time. He crouched down, picked up a few pebbles from the ground, and clasped them in the palm of his hand in case he needed them.

The black shadow finally approached Yuehua's bamboo house, hid his figure, and glanced into the room through the back window. Then he quietly went into the courtyard, deliberately trying to climb through the window.

In the hut opposite, a streamer of light shot out, heading straight for the heart of the black shadow at the head.

Chu Jiu finally couldn't help but make a move. Only when a few people entered the courtyard could he try to cut off the other party's retreat and catch them all.

The black shadow has always been more vigilant, and when the streamer approached, he heard the sound of the wind behind his head, and immediately reacted, twisted his body, dodged the hidden weapon, and rushed onto the roof. When the other people saw that their deeds were revealed, they did not love to fight, and turned around to flee.

How could Chu Mubai let them escape, with a flick of his fingers, the stone came out of his hand, and the target was the knees of one of them.

This person was in a hurry to escape, but he didn't expect a hidden weapon to fly from another direction, hitting the kneecap, one was in pain, "oops" exclaimed, his feet slipped, and he fell.

Chu Mubai naturally would not let go of such an opportunity, and with a jump, he flashed to him and snorted coldly: "Where is the thief, why is this?" ”

Before he could make a move, the black shadow had already turned over on the spot with a harrier, stood up neatly, and unceremoniously shot like lightning, hitting Chu Mu's white-faced door. Chu Mubai dodged, and after only two or three rounds, he grabbed the other party's shoulder: "Say, who ordered you to come?" ”

Chu Jiu had already dodged out of the house, and when he saw that the other two wanted to escape, he pulled out his feet and chased after them, but the two were also cunning and fled in two completely different directions. Chu Jiu did not hesitate to go after the person who was the leader, and the two fought each other, and the other party made a ruthless move and went straight to the point.

This fight naturally woke up Yuehua in the house, she got out of bed in her clothes, walked out of the bamboo house, and couldn't help but be surprised: "What's the matter?" ”

Chu Mubai listened to her, lest the other party have another ambush, so he hurriedly reminded him: "There are thieves, be careful yourself." ”

It's just a distraction effort, and the black-clothed man under his hand doesn't know when there is an extra dagger with a cold light, and it stabs fiercely towards his chest.

Chu Mubai didn't take precautions, and hurriedly let go of his hand and swept back to dodge, the dagger in the man's hand had already come out of his hand, shooting away like a streamer in the direction of Yuehua. Chu Mubai was afraid that Yuehua would be defeated, so he naturally flew to the rescue, but the man was just a little bit louder, and he had already taken the opportunity to escape.

Chu Mubai kicked the dagger and wanted to chase it, but Feng Lin had already hidden the figure. I was afraid that I would fall into the other party's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, and only Chu Jiu was left, and it was difficult to sing alone, so he didn't dare to go far away, so he could only fly forward and deal with the last person with Chu Jiu.

The three of them faced each other, and they immediately saw that the long sword in the man's hand was Zhen Fei by Chu Mubai, and Chu Jiu's shot was like lightning, and he had already restrained the man's acupoint.

"Say, Who are you? What are you doing here? ”

The other party glared angrily and did not speak.

Chu Mubai tore off his face scarf, it was a man about thirty years old, his face was unfamiliar, and he didn't know him.

"Who ordered you to come?" Chu Jiu also asked loudly, picked up the long sword on the ground on the side, and pressed it directly to his neck.

Chu Mubai glanced at the long sword in his hand, and his heart was broken: "You are from the Blood Hall?" ”

The man's eyes were glazed, and the corners of his mouth were already stained with red blood.

Chu Mubai was shocked, stretched out his hand to probe his snort, and was already exhausted.

He shook his head helplessly: "I have already committed suicide by taking poison." ”

Chu Jiu was shocked: "What are the people from the Blood Hall doing here?" ”

The three words "Bloody Hall" are not unfamiliar to Yuehua, and it is this group of people who stabbed Mo and Lonely Han on the Shangyuan Festival. It's just that she is no longer a queen now, and she has nothing to do with them, what is their purpose here?

Only Chu Mubai knew that this blood hall was related to the Chang family, thinking about the fact that the Empress Dowager Lin suddenly came over to persuade Yuehua to return to the palace and was rejected two days ago, suspecting that the Chang family was crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, and only clenched his fists with hatred, but he didn't want Yuehua to be frightened, so he was silent and didn't say much.

"This matter is related to the Blood Hall, it is not trivial, tomorrow after I report to the emperor, I will make a decision."

Chu Mubai arched his hand and said to Chu Jiu: "It's just that I have to work hard for you, you and I will take turns on duty tonight, and be careful not to watch out for those thieves coming back." ”

Chu Jiu shook his head and said: "You work hard during the day, and you have to track it down tomorrow, leave these things to me, you just go to rest, and you can recuperate." ”

Chu Mubai was also not humble: "It's okay, I'll send some more people over tomorrow, and you can rest again." ”

On the second day, when Chu Mubai came back from the city again, it was already the time to hold the lamp, followed by six or seven people in cyan clothes, hiding in the maple forest, vigilantly watching the movements around the maple forest.

Yuehua asked him in surprise, "What do these people do?" ”

"Yesterday was a bit strange, and I'm afraid those people won't give up and will come back. If I wasn't there, it would be difficult for the first nine people to be alone, so I chose a few good guards to protect your safety. Be careful during this time, and it's best not to leave the maple forest alone. ”

Yuehua didn't care at all, feeling that Chu Mubai was a little fussed.

"I'm just an ordinary country woman now, and I don't have any property around me to plot to, who would take such a risk again and again?"

Chu Mubai just smiled indifferently: "It's better to be careful than to prevent trouble." ”

Yuehua doesn't care, she doesn't leave the house at all, at most she just walks around the neighborhood.

"What happened last night?"

Chu Mubai shook his head: "I'm sure it's the people from the Blood Hall, but what kind of conspiracy they have can't be verified, and it is speculated that they may only want to hijack you and use it to blackmail us." ”

"Threatened? I guess I can only blackmail my brother, right? Yuehua smiled bitterly, then lowered her head and was silent, her face gloomy.

Chu Mubai couldn't bear it, and finally couldn't help blurting out: "Yuehua, in fact, the emperor has always had you in his heart, but he just has his own hardships, and being alienated from you is just to better protect you." ”

"I don't have to explain it to him." Yuehua stared down at her toes, hesitated for a while, mustered up the courage to look up and asked, "He, is he okay?" ”
