Chapter Eighty-Five: The Fight in the Courtyard

At night, it was submerged for a while, and the room was also dark, except for the moonlight that sneaked in outside the window and shimmered a little.

Although the room was as quiet as usual, Mu Zhiyu still felt a strange aura, the air was filled with a faint smell of rice noodles, and the figure that burst out of the window also confirmed her guess.

Someone broke into her room, and naturally wanted to follow her out, but before she could take a step, the black dots that faintly shone in the moonlight caught her eye.

His eyes narrowed slightly, stared for a moment, and his fingertips flicked slightly, lighting all the candles in the room, and suddenly became clear and bright.

Looking in the direction of the bed, the ground is crawling with dense black poisonous insects, poisonous spiders, poisonous scorpions, poisonous centipedes and other artificially bred Gu insects with extremely virulent poison, occupying a space of about one foot square.

Even though they all died, it still made people feel sick and numb all over their bodies.

Mu Zhiyu's brows were furrowed, and her eyes were half-squinted, wondering who was so vicious and put so much poison in her room.

First of all, I thought of Southern Xinjiang, the people of Southern Xinjiang are good at raising Gu poison, but this tribe lives in the southernmost part of the Qianxu Continent, and there are very few contacts with other countries, and the current situation should not be their doing.

In Luo Xiguo, there are no more people who have always hated her and want to kill her than those in Mu Mansion, and she has just healed Mu Qinglin's leg, so she shouldn't have attacked her so soon.

In Luo Xi's Palace, she swept away the majesty of Mu Yaru's concubine, and must hate her to the bone, and at the same time made Luo Keluo lose face, but Luo Keluo should not use such a childish method to put her to death, doing so is tantamount to officially opposing Chu Muchen, then the only possibility is Mu Yaru.

sneered, I wanted to kill her, and I didn't sleep with poisonous insects to underestimate her, don't you know that she is a disciple of the divine doctor, a family of doctors and poisons in the world, and she is no stranger to medicine and poison?

Raised her steps, frowned slightly, bypassed those poisonous insects, walked straight to the bed, stretched out her hand, and carefully lifted the quilt, as she expected, the quilt was full of black and pressed poisonous insects, more than one or two times more than on the ground.

If she hadn't found it, lying on it, I'm afraid there would be no bones.

All the poisonous insects are dead, and they turned their heads to look in the direction of the window, was it the person who did it just now?

Mu Zhiyu fell into deep thought, she could feel that in addition to the secret guard left by Che, someone had been following her secretly, and it could also be said that she had been secretly helping her, killing these poisonous insects, and leading them to the ground, so that she could find out.

"Xiao Yu'er, are you okay?" Chu Muchen's worried voice came from outside the house.

Mu Zhiyu came back to his senses, in addition to Chu Muchen's voice, there was also a faint sound of fighting outside, and then shouted in the direction of the door, "I'm fine." ”

Chu Muchen stood at the door of the room, and his tense heart became relaxed when he heard the words, Xiao Yu'er was fine, and he was relieved.

The corners of Mu Zhiyu's mouth rose slightly, and then his eyes wandered and moved towards the outside of the house.

In the courtyard of Yilanxuan, Chu Muchen's guards were besieging a man, and in the moonlight, he could clearly see his white clothes, like an immortal, with a hat on his head, Mu Zhiyu recognized at a glance, he was the one who cut the throats of more than a dozen people with a dart that time.

His martial arts are strong and superb, and Chu Muchen's guards are not idle, and for a while, the two sides are entangled and fighting, and he can't get out of trouble.

The swords of the guards shimmered with white light in the moonlight, all stabbing towards him, and he took off under his feet, using internal force, and swirled a white circle of light around his body, forming a huge protective circle, and wave after wave of air flow emanated from the protective circle, so that the guards could not get close.

Chu Muchen was leisurely shaking his fan on the side, looking at the unoptimistic situation in front of him, his demonic eyes narrowed slightly, and the center of his eyebrows twisted, obviously very dissatisfied with his subordinates.

If this stalemate continues, although the man in white will not have the upper hand, I am afraid it will not be easy to catch him.

More than a dozen guards suddenly changed their formation, and the figures holding swords flew around, and a net was suddenly formed invisibly, tightly covering the man in white.

The silent sword qi broke through the protective circle of the man in white, even if it was a strong internal force, it couldn't resist for long, and Mu Zhiyu could see that the man in white didn't use all his strength, obviously he didn't want to hurt anyone.

Chu Muchen's narrow phoenix eyes were smiling, and the curvature of his lips widened wantonly, this is right, this person sneakily came out of Xiao Yu'er's room, and he had to catch it.

"Chu Muchen, don't hurt him!"

For some reason, Mu Zhiyu just didn't want the man in white to be injured, not just because he had secretly helped her, he gave her a very strange and familiar feeling, which made her feel inexplicably cordial.

Chu Muchen turned around and saw Mu Zhiyu standing at the door of the room, looking nervously at the man in white, his good-looking face was filled with doubts, why did Xiao Yu'er seem to care so much about this assassin?

The protective circle of the man in white has been broken through by the sword qi, he doesn't want to hurt them, but at this moment, if he blindly defends, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get out, the attack power of these guards' formations is extremely strong, his body has gradually become unstable, holding his breath, a powerful air flow emanates from his body, forcing the guards to retreat a few meters.

The fighting spirit of these guards is tenacious, although they all retreat, the formation is still there, as long as there is not a gap, the man in white cannot get out.

Mu Zhiyu could see that the man in white only defended and did not attack, if he continued like this, he was afraid that he would be injured, and shouted at Chu Muchen again, "He didn't hurt me, let him go." ”

Chu Muchen saw the worry in her eyes, and looked at the fight in the courtyard again, he could also see that the man in white was not ruthless, his eyes narrowed slightly, and then shouted at the guard, "Let him go." ”

When the guards got the order, they immediately stopped, and at the same time as they withdrew from the formation, the sword of one of the guards accidentally slashed through the hat of the man in white, and the white curtain was cut through a hole, and a pair of cold and unparalleled eyes were exposed.

The man in white flashed a trace of panic, and at the moment when he hurriedly blocked it, his eyes swept over Mu Zhiyu's figure, and she stood not far away, looking at him blankly, with surprise and disbelief in her eyes.

There was a flash of pity in his eyes, a complicated light, he glanced at her again, and then his figure flashed and disappeared into the night.

Mu Zhiyu looked at the direction where he disappeared and was stunned for a long time, pursed his lips tightly, he couldn't see any emotion on his face, his eyes were far away, but he was covered with a faint mist.

Chu Muchen waved his hand to signal the guards to go down, walked in front of Mu Zhiyu, glanced at her gaze, and then looked at her face fixedly, her eyes were filled with hazy mist, although he couldn't see any expression, but he could see that her heart was not as calm as it seemed.

He had never seen her like this, and his whole body was shrouded in a faint sadness, especially since he had never seen her shed tears.

Just wanted to say comfort, his two arms were tightly held by a pair of small hands, her eyes flashed with light, watching him jump up excitedly, he suddenly felt confused, looking at her in confusion.

"It's big brother, it must be big brother!" Letting go of the hand that was holding his arm, he smiled like a crescent moon between his eyebrows, turned around, looked up in that direction again, couldn't hide the ecstasy in his heart, and actually laughed into tears.

"Although I only saw his eyes, but I can be sure, that is the eldest brother, I finally know why I see his figure, I will feel familiar, feel cordial, because he is the eldest brother who loves me the most, these days, he has been secretly and silently following me, protecting me, always taking the first step to solve those dangers, but never willing to show up to see me, why, why he is unwilling to come to see me."

Mu Zhiyu smiled and smiled, tears came out, and finally couldn't stop crying, pulling Chu Muchen's clothes and looking up at him, "You say, why doesn't he want to see me, big brother." ”

Chu Muchen looked at her appearance, his heart flashed with pity, he raised his hand to wipe away her tears, and a smile appeared between his eyebrows, "He must have his reason for doing this, you are crying like this now, it will only make him worry about you even more, this is not like your Xiao Yu'er's style." ”

"Yes, you're right, my eldest brother is still alive, I should be happy, I shouldn't cry."

Although he said this, the tears still couldn't stop flowing down, forcing himself to laugh happily, reaching out to wipe away the tears that kept pouring down, and looking up at Chu Muchen's eyebrows and eyes, but it was more ugly than crying.

Chu Muchen's eyes flashed unbearably when he looked at her, he opened his arms and pulled her into his arms, his soft voice was even more charming, "Cry, it's good to cry." ”

Mu Zhiyu wanted to push him away, but when he heard this, he gave up this action, let him hold him, and howled and cried in his arms, he was right, crying would not be so uncomfortable.

Chu Muchen gently stroked her hair, as if he was comforting an injured kitten, looking at her like this, his heart was not comfortable, fortunately, Mu Zefeng was still alive, and after crying, she could smile happily.

Ling San and Ling Si, who were hidden in the shadows, twitched the corners of their mouths vigorously, their prince was not there, Chu Muchen was uneasy and kind to their princess all day long, as a secret guard, if he hadn't acted calmly enough, he would have rushed out a long time ago.

Sighing helplessly, they knew that the princess was now full of joy and sorrow, Chu Muchen was comforting her, and they could only pretend that they hadn't seen anything, they just hoped that their prince could come back as much as possible, and if it continued like this, some people would have to get the moon before the water, and his extremely beautiful and extremely beneficial-looking face had to make them feel worried.

After crying, Mu Zhiyu calmed down, Chu Muchen was not particularly relieved of her, and nagged in her ear for a long time, and was finally driven back to the room by her.

"It's late at night, I'm fine, you go to sleep, I'll go back to my room and sleep."

Mu Zhiyu pushed Chu Muchen back into his room, slammed the door shut, and the next moment, the door was opened again, and a head poked out of it.

Before he could speak, he raised his hand and pressed his head in, and closed the door again, "I'm leaving." ”

Chu Muchen stood at the door of the room, his open mouth closed helplessly, and through the door, he also felt the footsteps of Xiao Yu'er leaving.

The curvature of the corners of her mouth slowly expanded, she smiled bewitchingly, shaking the folding fan and slowly walking to the bed, Xiao Yu'er was so cute, she didn't let him say a word, but seeing her like this, it should be fine, and he can rest assured.

Walking to the door of the room, Mu Zhiyu remembered that there were still those disgusting things left in her room, and she couldn't help pouting, her brows furrowed into twists, and the hand that just wanted to push the door was put down again, and she walked towards another room.

Changed a room, lit a candle, sat on the soft couch, but did not sleep, this surprise came too suddenly, she couldn't digest it in a short time, her heart was still surging, she couldn't believe it was true.

Shouting into the air, Ling San and Ling Si flew in through the window without a trace, stood in front of her, and arched their hands, "Princess." ”

"Did you follow the person who came out of Mufu today and secretly followed me?"

"My subordinates followed." Ling Si opened his mouth and replied, coming out of the Mu Mansion, that person was following the princess, Ling San had been hiding near the princess, and he was following behind the man in white.

They have always known that someone is secretly following the princess, and they have followed him many times, but they have found nothing, and today they know his true identity, it turns out that he is the eldest brother that the princess has been thinking about.

"Is it the same person who has been with me all these days?" Although her intuition told her that the eldest brother had always been secretly protecting her, she still wanted to be sure.

Ling Si nodded, "We have followed him many times, but we have all been dumped by him, his skill is very high, if he didn't want to hurt people tonight, those guards should not be able to trap him." ”

After Ling Si finished speaking, Ling San took a step forward and said respectfully, "Princess, my subordinates have something to tell you. ”

Mu Zhiyu nodded, "Say." ”

"When you and King Chen went to the imperial dining room tonight, there was a man in black who had evaded King Chen's guards and secretly entered your room, he should not know our sus, so he would be negligent in guarding against us, we just wanted to go in and catch him, the man in white appeared, we know that he has no ill will towards you Princess for many days, and secretly protects you, so we didn't stop it, just now we know, it turns out that he is your big brother."

"You mean, you saw the man who came into my room and put poisonous insects?" It seems that he is still a master, could it be sent by Mu Yaru?

"As soon as Mu Gongzi entered, he sprinkled a handful of white rice noodles and fled, and was caught by us when he came out."

"No wonder I once smelled a smell of rice noodles in the house, where are the people?"

"I went with Li Dazhuang."

Mu Zhiyu smiled and nodded, "In such a short period of time, you are still fast enough to do things well, and when your prince comes back, I will ask him to give you a boost." ”

Ling San and Ling Si smiled and thanked each other, "Thank you, Princess." ”

"Tomorrow ask the main messenger behind the scenes and tell me later, go down first."

Mu Zhiyu was the only one left in the room, leaning on the couch, frowning slightly, the eldest brother hid his face obviously not wanting her to recognize her, secretly protecting her but never showing up, after so many years, he was obviously still alive, but why didn't he come to see her.

The eldest brother obviously cares about her, otherwise he wouldn't have solved those dangers for her in advance.

He knew that there were guards protecting her, but he had come to deal with the poisonous insects, because he was not sure if they and if she could find out, and he didn't want it to happen if there was any danger to her.

Her eyes suddenly became hot and moist, she must find a way to let her eldest brother take the initiative to show up, no matter what kind of pain he has suffered over the years, in the future, she will not let her eldest brother suffer a little more harm.

Maybe it's time to change the plan, get back the amethyst jade pendant, let the Wang family's conspiracy and crimes be exposed, make Mu Ke lose face and then suppress his position as prime minister, and let the eldest brother take the initiative to come to see her, maybe at the same time.

The opportunity is at the Caiyuan Conference twenty days later, when the Luoxi royal family and civil and military officials and their families will become witnesses, and the Mu family owes their mother, eldest brother, and her, all of them will be returned one by one.
