Chapter 11 Night Exploration of the Farmhouse
As night fell, the bright moon hung in the sky.
Under the cover of night, the west door of the Yasukuni Mansion was carefully opened from the inside.
A sturdy man came out of the house carrying a bag of marijuana and quietly got into the carriage.
The thin figure behind the trees hides in the night, and the quiet streets are filled with only the occasional sound of crickets and the rustle of the breeze through the leaves.
Mu Nanxi followed the carriage all the way to the outside of the capital.
She doesn't know how to work lightly, but fortunately, the carriage is not fast, and she will be able to keep up with the tracking skills she learned in her previous life.
After about an hour's effort, the carriage stopped outside Zhuangzi, hidden in the mountains.
Zhuangzi is surrounded by verdant ancient trees and babbling streams, and at the door is a pair of old stone lions, and it is late at night, and the four guards with knives in front of the gate of the village have not slackened.
"Come and help my brother, I'm really tired from coming to Zhuangzi at night!" Wang Wu didn't see outside, beckoning people for help.
Seeing that it was an acquaintance, the guard took two quick steps forward and quipped: "Brother Wang is really diligent this month, and he is going to empty my master!" ”
"Hahahaha......" the crowd burst into laughter.
The guards all carry knives, so naturally they have some kung fu on their bodies.
Mu Nanxi was afraid of startling the snake, so she didn't dare to get too close, and she didn't hear what they said, but the laughter was louder, but she listened to it.
She looked strange, and locked up her mother, a powerless woman, where to get four guards with knives.
Today's trip is not easy.
If it doesn't work today, find out the doorway inside, and directly ask Qi Zhiheng to bring someone to the door to rob people.
Qi Zhiheng promised to help her save her mother, and there was no need to wait any longer at this time!
Mu Nanxi was thinking about this in his heart, and the two guards had already carried the sack to the courtyard.
She looked at the surrounding terrain and the outer wall of Zhuangzi, found a remote location and climbed in.
"Wow!"
"It's luxurious!"
Lampstands can be seen everywhere, reflecting candlelight, and the courtyard is planted with all kinds of flowers and trees, and the air is filled with the fresh fragrance of flowers.
Glazed tiles, white jade ground, carved beams and painted buildings, a huge artificial lake with small boats floating, mountains and rocks piled up into the towering peaks, very magnificent.
"Who's where!" A patrol of soldiers passed by, heard the noise, and immediately became vigilant.
The soldier holds the hilt of his sword, ready to draw his knife at any moment.
Mu Nanxi hurriedly held his breath and hid in the dim place behind the rockery.
She had been running for more than an hour, and now she was really not sure that she would put six people at once.
From far to near, slightly flustered footsteps appeared on the path not far from Mu Nanxi.
"Hurry, hurry! Don't let the master wait! ”
"It turned out to be the fifth little brother of the king!" The patrol soldier thought that Wang Wu had made the sound just now, and let go of the hand holding the hilt of the knife.
Mu Nanxi looked at the sedan chair lifted by the four behind Wang Wu, and guessed that his aunt was among them.
She avoided the patrolling soldiers, quietly followed the sedan chair all the way to a brightly lit room, and watched the two maids who opened the door help the unconscious woman on the sedan chair inside.
That woman's size is not her aunt!
Mu Nanxi secretly gritted her teeth, could it be that Mu Qing was worried that she might send someone to follow her, so she attacked the west?
Wang Wu is Mu Qing's confidant, and it must not be a good thing for the third watch to bring a woman here in the middle of the night.
I'd like to see what their master and servant are up to!
After a while, the maid in the house withdrew, and even the guard at the door bowed away.
"It's a good opportunity."
Mu Nanxi slowed down and approached the window of the house.
She held out her fingers to puncture the window paper, intending to take a look inside before making her next move.
Before she could pierce it, a man's hoarse voice came from inside the room.
"Who!"
That voice was mixed with murderous aura and strong internal force, and Mu Nanxi, who was in the array, had to take a few steps back.
If the two face each other, Mu Nanxi will undoubtedly become the other party's fish on the board.
In a hurry, Mu Nanxi couldn't continue to investigate the situation in the house, and left quickly to protect himself.
After almost three hours of running, the sky gradually turned white.
Mu Nanxi climbed over the wall and returned to the palace, dragged his tired body into the house, and before he could sit down and take a breath, he was frightened by the person in front of him.
Qi Zhiheng's face was calm, and his eyebrows were cold: "Why didn't the princess return overnight." ”
The corners of Mu Nanxi's eyes twitched, is his luck so weak?
Mu Nanxi couldn't speak, only felt a chill in his back.
She opened her mouth and looked at Qi Zhiheng in front of her flatteringly.
Qi Zhiheng glanced at her and said coldly: "If it weren't for the fact that you had other uses, just because you were a princess and didn't return overnight, this king would definitely be killed." ”
Mu Nanxi felt a slight chill in his heart, and hurriedly knelt at Qi Zhiheng's feet with a "plop".
"Lord Wang Mingjian, the day before yesterday, when I returned to the house, I wanted to explain the reason to the prince, but Rong Feng said that the prince didn't know when to return to the house to deal with military affairs, and it happened to be a rare opportunity, so I didn't show the prince to act alone!"
Mu Nanxi knelt at Qi Zhixi's feet and explained the cause and effect of the matter concisely and clearly.
She understands that in the matter of saving her mother, she is afraid that the chances of winning are quite small if she relies on herself to oppose the entire Yasukuni Mansion.
Using Qi Zhi's constancy can increase a lot of chances of winning, and it will definitely save a lot of trouble.
Just as what Zhuangzi said outside the capital, whether her aunt was sent there or not, it must be easier for Qi Zhiheng, a person with strong martial arts, to investigate.
Best of all: she doesn't have to take any chances!
After hearing what happened, Qi Zhiheng's face flashed with an imperceptible killing intent.
"A few days later, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, a banquet will be held in the palace, you are ready to prepare, don't embarrass the king."
After that, Qi Zhiheng got up and left, unwilling to say more to Mu Nanxi.
Mu Nanxi looked at his departing back and scolded fiercely in his heart.
Bear with you for a few more days!
When I save A-Niang, see if I don't poison you!
Once the body is overdrawn, it takes countless lazy sleeps to make up for it.
Fortunately, there are no in-laws in the north of the town, and there is no need to settle the province in the morning and dusk, and Mu Nanxi has no one to sleep until he sleeps.
Linglong took the basin and entered the house, but saw that Mu Nanxi had not yet gotten up, so she hurriedly put down the basin and called: "Wake up, princess!" ”
Mu Nanxi snorted and turned over: "Let me sleep again!" ”
"Princess, get up! Today is the day to enter the palace for the Mid-Autumn Festival! The prince has already gotten up early and is waiting for you! ”
When Linglong said the first half of the sentence, Mu Nanxi could still pretend not to hear it.
can say that Qi Zhiheng's abrasive person is already waiting for her, and she can no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb.
You know, this is a goblin who will kill her if she is not careful!
Mu Nanxi thumped the bed and got up, gritting his teeth fiercely: "It's really a white face!" ”
