Chapter 344 Good intentions do not repay well
Mushi really asked people to intercept Lanzhi's return to Beijing, which is a secret order. He has been informed since he came to northern Sichuan. Therefore, he learned early that the court had sent someone to pick up Lanzhi at the Mingshui Palace, and he immediately asked someone to pick him up halfway and sneak into the pick-up team. As a result, they poisoned everyone halfway back without their attention, but they didn't expect Lanzhi to let the accompanying Doro bodyguards save them. Seeing that everyone had run away and there was only one body left, they had to secretly disguise themselves as a brat and chase them out.
What they didn't expect was that Doro's bodyguard died, but a mysterious man in a mask came. Moreover, this man is so good at martial arts that he can't go out at all. Although he was cut on his shoulder, he killed six of them alone and escaped with Lanzhi. They had to come to North Sichuan for help, but to their surprise, this person was extremely familiar with the terrain in the north of Sichuan and ran around the mountain road and ran to Liangcheng without entering the North Sichuan City.
Mushi will naturally not let them escape to Liangcheng. Now Lanzhi already knows their true face. If she goes back, it will be good. So he sent another team of people and hurried to Liangcheng, intending to kill Lanzhi. Unfortunately, something went wrong halfway and let them escape, and they disappeared.
When a middle-aged man thought of this, he was also a little depressed. After all, he never failed. This time it was a stain on his life. More importantly, he didn't even know who killed his men. Lord, we did only see one at the beginning, but later we found that it was not the sword that killed Wang Wu. The strength was not small, but the wound was shallow. If it was a sword, it should be pierced. The person who rescued the princess was cut by us. It is impossible to have this strength, and there is no blood all the way. We have followed the horses' hoofs. We have to have at least two horses, and the number of horses is unknown.
Listening to the middle-aged man's words, Mu Shizhen unconsciously became serious and felt that there seemed to be a third party behind the incident, which made him have to be cautious.
However, Shaohua was a little ashamed to hear it behind the rockery. Unexpectedly, his move made Mu Shizhen think that it was a professional killer. However, judging from the original situation, her mind was very clear, and she must kill the people in front of her, otherwise they would be more dangerous. Compared with the first time he killed someone by mistake, it was also to protect himself. This time, Shaohua couldn't help feeling that he was much cold-blooded. I no longer feel hesitant or afraid of my cruelty, and sometimes I have to face cruelty in order to survive.
When she was distracted, the middle-aged man said, "Besides, this killing method looks fast and accurate. If it is not a special killer, it may also be a practitioner. Otherwise, there is no reason for us to walk in front of us, and we don't even know that Wang Wu was killed."
Mu Shizhen was stunned and stared at the boss, "Do you think Wang Wu was killed when he was with you?"
The middle-aged man nodded seriously, "Yes, we followed a valley and suddenly there was no trace of horseshoe, so we searched all the way. Wang Wu fell down. When Zhang Liu asked him, he would still talk, but his words were vague and he didn't hear him clearly. Anyway, he was still alive at that time, but we walked a long way and found that he didn't follow him. When he turned back to find someone, he was already dead. It seems that the murder weapon that killed him should be just a dagger.
Shaohua listened to the analysis of the middle-aged man and suddenly felt a little nervous. He didn't expect that this person had always been by his side. There is another idea in my heart to congratulate Lanzhi for not following them, otherwise he will see it, and it is difficult to guarantee that nothing will happen. Mu Shizhen seemed to be confused by the middle-aged man's words and repeated: "The dagger kills people?"
Only the middle-aged man explained, "Yes, my lord, if it is a killer, the dagger is at most used for self-defense or backup." Because not every killer can fight close. Their purpose is to kill people, and they can solve people in the fastest and most hidden way, which is their first choice. Swords are usually suitable for fast and fierceness, poison is invisible killing and easy to retreat, while daggers are usually used for self-defense and close combat. As a last resort, no one will take the risk of using daggers to kill close to their bodies.
There may be a very small number of daggers, but they don't just use daggers as weapons.
Mu Shizhen also seems to realize the key point of the matter, "Which killers are trying to use daggers?"
The middle-aged man's tone suddenly sank, "As far as I know, those who are not in the north are all southerners. If there is nothing special, they will not interfere here." Killers have always had their own geographical definitions, and it is inevitable to engage with each other across the boundaries.
Mu Shizhen is just a scholar after all. He knows that he doesn't know why these things are, so he only tells him, "No matter what, you must find out. If there is really Jianghu intervention, you must be careful not to provoke that person in Beijing."
In fact, the middle-aged man is waiting for Mu Shizhen's words. As long as he let go, he can let go of it. "Don't worry, I'll check it out. If I meet the princess,..." Seeing that Mu Shizhen scratched his palm across his neck, he suddenly understood, "I understand."
"Go down. Anyway, this kind of thing is straightforward. If it lasts for a long time, it's not good for us."
Although Shaohua didn't see what they looked like, he also understood what Mu Shi really wanted the other party to do. She only thought about how to explain this matter to Yan Kaizhi, otherwise once Youning recovers from his injury, they will be in danger.
Just as Shaohua thought they were all leaving, Mu Shizhen suddenly opened his mouth and startled her, "Yongchi, come out."
I only heard someone come out from another part of the rockery, "I'm here. What can I do for you?" Shaohua happened to see the other party's appearance from the crack. It turned out to be a soldier who worked for Fulin. She was shocked and didn't know if she had missed her whereabouts.
She closed her lips and didn't dare to make a sound. She heard Mu Shizhen say, "Have you checked the origin of those little women? There are several other men.
The soldier named Yongchi replied: "Your Excellency, the woman who followed the doctor is indeed the daughter of the governor of Liangcheng. I heard that the general has sent someone to deliver letters to the governor. I don't know the other two. I heard that one of them is the general's wife.
Mu Shi's tone was obviously not as polite as to the middle-aged man just now, and immediately scolded him: "Nonsense, Yan Kaizhi's wife is Li Ge Lao's granddaughter. How can she come here?"
Yongchi did not dare to talk back and could only answer in a low voice: "Your Excellency, I didn't talk nonsense. I heard Dr. Fu and Mrs. Hu talking inadvertently. I heard that the guard sent her to Liangcheng."
Mu Shi really hesitated for a moment and asked, "I heard which one is it?"
Yong Chi squeezed his lips and shook his head and said, "I don't know this. I look like both of them, but neither of them looks like them. The general seems to deliberately not let people know the identity of his wife."
Suddenly, Mu Shizhen raised his mouth and sneered, and his fat face trembled. "Humph, I actually brought my wife. I thought it was Mrs., no matter which one, you took good care of me. This is our best bargaining chip. If Li Gelao knew that his granddaughter came to find Yan Kaizhi but was involved by Yan Kaizhi, I think even if he went back alive, there would definitely not be a good end. Do you know what to do?!" Shaohua almost shouted when he heard it. He didn't expect that Bo Yan's words would come true so quickly.
Yongchi bowed his hand and was ready to leave. "Your Excellency, don't worry, I understand. I'm going now."
Mu Shizhen shouted at him, "Wait, don't worry, wait until he goes out of the city." Seeing Yongchi turn around and look at himself puzzledly, he smiled proudly and his eyes burst into treacherous eyes, "Ha ha, now he can't even go to the city."
Shaohua gritted his teeth and endured Mu Shizhen's departure. He was so angry that he really wanted to knock him out, and then put it in a sack and threw it down from the city. This wooden stone is really an old fox. No, saying that he is a fox is simply an insult to the fox, simply a scum, simply a beast!" For a moment, he was so angry that he couldn't say anything. Shaohua thought viciously: Good, you, Mu Shizhen, even hit me with an idea. I really don't know how to live or die!
Since Mu Shi really wants to blackmail her, she will never sit back and wait for her death, at least not let Yan Kaizhi worry about her.
So, Shaohua hurried to find the collected map and secretly sighed that he was hidden and was not found. He secretly came out of the hole with his small bag, but this time he climbed relatively smoothly, at least it didn't get stuck again. Before he could hide his things, let alone change his clothes, he hurried to Yan Kaizhi's room.
She stepped in and as soon as she opened her mouth, she saw that the group of generals when she had just left were still in Yan Kaizhi's room, and even Moer was there. Everyone's eyes looked at her. Yan Kaizhi couldn't help frowning when he saw that she was covered in dust. Shaohua had to change the tone of the words he spit out, "Kkaizhi...General."
Yan Kaizhi didn't care much, but his tone was a little unhappy. "So suddenly he ran in. What's the matter?"
Shaohua was depressed and looked at Mo'er with a proud face, "I have something to do with Mo'er." Mo'er raised her eyebrows and seemed to be a little surprised. Yan Kaizhi looked at Mo'er and Shaohua, and some of them didn't understand when they became so talkative. Then he nodded to Moer and motioned her to go out. Finally, he said to Shaohua, "Next time, don't run in without my consent."
Mo'er saluted Yan Kaizhi with a smile on her face and followed Shaohua. The two came to a secluded place in the yard. Mo'er looked at Shaohua with a silent face and asked with a smile, "What's wrong with Wu Niang looking for me?"
There was no reason to hear Mo'er call her name. Shaohua suddenly became angry, especially when he saw Mo'er's confident and proud look, thinking that she sneaked to Yan Kaizhi's side again, and her tone became bad, "Who allowed you to call me Wu Niang! No rules!"
Moer smiled brightly and was a little shy. "Of course, the general said it." Looking up at Shaohua's face like dark clouds, she smiled even happier. Kaizhi said that you and I are the same now. Since we want to hide people's ears and eyes, naturally we can't call you a wife. Why can't we call you Wu Niang?
Shaohua silently warned himself in his heart that he could not be incited by Mo'er. After all, Yan Kaizhi personally promised her, and now there is no need to question the feelings between them with an outsider.
When Moer saw Shaohua's sudden look, she was surprised that she was not provoked by herself. Instead, she said calmly, "I don't care about this with you now. I want to tell you something. Don't get close to Mu Shizhen. He is not a good person."
Moer pretended to be surprised, "Is Wu Niang caring about me?"
Shaohua stared at her and said angrily, "Don't dream anymore. I just want to tell you that since you want to be a maid beside Kaizhi, don't make trouble for him. Mu Shi is really a sinister villain. Kaizhi scolded him, and he must have hatred in his heart. Maybe he will threaten Kaizhi with you and me.
Obviously, Moer did not listen to Shaohua's words and walked towards her step by step, deliberately blinking at Shaohua with amorous eyes, "Do you mean to admit my position in Kaizhi's heart?"
Although Moer did not have the same face as she did at the beginning, her face was also exquisite and beautiful in the crowd, but she pretended to be amorous and gritted her teeth angrily, "Can you listen to people well? I don't care if you are Moer or whatever. What I can tell you is that he is my man all his life. No matter how similar you are, you are not Xin Zimo after all. What's more, Yan Kaizhi's wife is only Li Shaohua. If you die, I won't let him take you as a concubine.
Moer suddenly put away her smiling face and said seriously, "I never wanted to be his concubine."
Shaohua was stunned and looked at her in a daze, "So what do you want to do?"
Mo'er suddenly smiled and suddenly showed her amorous feelings, which stunned Shaohua, "If you don't want to be a concubine, it's natural to be a wife."
She was stimulated by her words, and Shaohua also began to be vigilant. For some reason, he felt that Mo's behavior today was a little different, and it seemed that she was only targeted everywhere. Funny, why do you think you are? Kaizhi will not believe that you have anything to do with Xin Zimo at all.
Moer also saw Shaohua's vigilance and didn't joke with her anymore. "You don't have to care who I am. Anyway, Yan Kaizhi is going to make a determination. It doesn't matter if he doesn't believe it. He still takes me with him, which proves that he still has me in his heart.
Shaohua sneered, "You don't have to provoke me. Anyway, my advice is over. If you are really caught by Mu Shizhen, I will never let Kaizhi save you."
Looking at Shaohua's resolute attitude, Moer walked over and lifted her chin with her fingers, which scared her like a rabbit and stepped back a few steps. She suddenly smiled like a fox and deliberately gave a wink at Shaohua. "If that's the case, don't be jealous if he secretly saves me."
