Rebirth of the Return of Chu

In the following days, Mu Chu still did not move much. Apart from basking in the sun, playing in the snow, and at most going to the pavilion to admire the scenery.

It is worth noting that the scars on the legs were completely eliminated, which made Mu Chu admire the ancient medical achievements very much.

So he asked Xin'er to find some medical books and study them carefully. Mu Chu felt that he particularly enjoyed this kind of tranquility and comfort. In his previous life, he was too busy, busy with various part-time jobs and busy dealing with his mother. He had no time to stop and rest and do what he liked.

This kind of days continued until the 16th day of the twelfth lunar month. During the day, he received a bunch of food, clothes and other New Year gifts from his father, but at night he was attacked by an assassin.

After dinner, Mu Chu went to bed as usual. In the middle of the night, Taxue suddenly jumped on her bed and rubbed her face. When she woke up, she found that the hairpin her father gave her was emitting a purple fluorescent light.

Before Mu Chu could react, he heard the sound of swords outside the door, and then Xiao Tao and Xin Er rushed in to protect her behind them. Xiao Tao was trembling nervously, but Xin Er seemed calm. She fumbled around the bed, and the bed actually rose up, revealing a secret room. "Xiao Tao, take the young lady in and hide."

"What about you?" Xiao Tao looked flustered.

"Don't worry, I can hold them off for a while. They don't have good intentions. I'm sure the hidden guards have already sent out the distress signal, and someone will come to support us soon. You must not come out." After Xin'er finished speaking, she had a sword in her hand, pushed them in, and pressed the mechanism.

Mu Chu thought about it and felt that things wouldn't be that simple. There were secret guards outside who could break in easily. The other party would definitely not be an ordinary killer. But after all, as a modern man, he didn't know martial arts and would still panic when encountering such a situation.

While I was thinking, I heard the sound of someone breaking into the door, followed by the sound of fighting, and a gloomy voice that sounded neither male nor female said, "Hand over the key, or I will cut a few knives on your pretty face and gouge out your eyeballs to feed my eagle."

Mu Chu was shocked. Xin'er must have been restrained. She had to find a way to save her. She whispered to Xiao Tao, "Do you have the powder I gave you with you?"

"Here" Xiao Tao took it out tremblingly.

"Give it to me, we have to go out and save Xin'er, let's see if there is any mechanism in here?" So the two of them began to search gropingly.

Outside the secret room, Xin'er's arm was bleeding, but he looked calm and fearless. "What a joke! Nan Xiao is a well-known royal guard. How could your secret key be in a small Lingyun Pavilion like ours? If you tell others, they will laugh their heads off."

The man was obviously stunned. "Who are you? How could a little maid guess my identity?"

"Huh, what's the matter? Are Nan Xiao's arms so long? How dare he come to Kongling Mountain?" Xin'er said sarcastically.

The man in black was furious when he heard that, and he stretched out his hand to stab down. Mu Chu happened to pull the trigger at this time, and the man in black was distracted and stopped the knife that was about to hit Xin'er's face. Mu Chu took advantage of his unpreparedness and threw a handful of powder at him, imitating the tone of a martial arts drama, "You have been hit by my Five-Step Powder. If you want to live, don't move. If you move five steps, the poison will spread to your internal organs and you will die on the spot."

The man in black felt a slight numbness on the tip of his tongue and hesitated, not daring to take the next step. Xin'er took the opportunity to draw his sword and stab him in the chest.

Blood splattered all over the ground and the man in black slowly fell to the ground. In his previous life, Mu Chu had been a doctor, but he had never seen such a tragic scene with corpses and blood everywhere. He suddenly had a stomach cramp and squatted down. Xiao Tao next to him had collapsed to the ground in fear.

Xin'er drew back her sword and looked at Mu Chu. The two smiled knowingly. The fighting outside continued. Another person rushed in. Xin'er raised her sword and went to meet him. However, the difference in strength was too great and she was soon defeated.

Taxue ran out from somewhere and bit the man's leg, but was kicked to the ground, with blood staining his white fox fur.

Xin'er was stabbed in the shoulder again, and her sleeves were stained with blood.

Soon another person came in from outside. Seeing that Xin'er was no match for him, Xiaotao immediately stood in front of Mu Chu. Mu Chu picked up a sword from the corpse next to him and took a defensive posture.

"Hand over the key and I will let you three go." The man in black came in and pointed his sword at Mu Chu.

Chu looked confused, she had no idea what the key was, and pretended to be calm, "I don't have what you said, you have found the wrong person."

The man in black didn't say anything more and shouted outside, "Come here, tie them up and search them. Take off their clothes one by one and see where they are hiding."

As soon as he finished speaking, several men in black flew in from the door. To be more precise, they were knocked to the ground. Then in came Qin Yuanyi in white, holding a white fan with a layer of blood on the edge of the fan. Following closely behind him were Wang Xing and several guards. As soon as they came in, they started fighting with the men in black.

Qin Yuanyi walked to Mu Chu, squatted down, and pulled her to his side. "Chu'er, where are you hurt? Let me see." He looked at her with an anxious face.

"Uncle, I'm not injured, it's Xin'er who is injured, hurry up and save her." Mu Chu lowered his head and saw blood on his body, "This is someone else's blood."

Soon Wang Xing subdued the men in black. "Tell me, who sent you here?"

The men in black were silent for a while. Wang Xing picked up the sword and cut off one of the leader's fingers. The man didn't react at all, as if the finger was not his. He looked up at Wang Xing and sneered, "You won't be able to find out anything."

"Hurry up and seal his acupoints, he wants to commit suicide!" Xin'er shouted, but it was still a step too late. Several people fell to the ground in an instant and stopped breathing.

"Xin'er, who are they?" Wang Xing asked.

"Master, they are the Yan guards of the Nanxiao royal family. It was my fault for not protecting the master well enough and failing to notice them in time. Please punish me, Master." Xin'er knelt on the ground, covering her wound.

"We in Kongling Mountain have never had anything to do with Nanxiao, so why would they suddenly come to our door? And they are the Yan Guards who only obey Emperor Nanxiao. And Xin'er, why do you recognize them?" Qin Yuanyi was a little angry. He always thought that Xin'er was an orphan living on the streets, so he took her in out of kindness. If she brought about the murderous disaster and implicated Chu'er, he would definitely punish her.

"Young Master, I failed to protect my master and am willing to accept any punishment. But I really didn't invite them here. They were here to look for the key. I lied. I am from Nanxiao and my father used to work in the palace. Princess Linglong was stabbed to death that year. My father was charged with failing to protect her, so our whole family was killed. My mother threw me into the river at the door, and I survived by drifting to the downstream bank. Later, I met you, Young Master, and survived." Xin'er lowered her head, not daring to look at Qin Yuanyi's angry expression.

"What about the key?" Qin Yuanyi asked her.

"I don't know either. When I was a child, I accidentally heard my father say that there is an organization called Mirror Flower and Water Moon in Nanxiao. They can get all the news in the martial arts world, including the secrets of the royal family. They are all-powerful and can even kill people without being seen. No one has ever seen their true faces. Everyone appears with a white veil on their face. No one knows where they are. If you want to ask them for something, just tie a red ribbon to the big locust tree in the south of the city, and someone will find you. As long as you can afford the price, anyone can help you kill. So Emperor Nanxiao is also very taboo about this organization. He sent people to search for it in many places, but no clues were found.

Later, Princess Linglong set a trap herself and captured one of the men. After severe torture, the man confessed that the organization had a key, and everyone had to obey the orders of the person holding the key. However, the killer died before he could explain clearly what happened.

Later, Princess Linglong was also retaliated against and died in her own bedroom. The emperor was furious and executed all the guards and family members that day, including my father. The other servants were not informed. "Xin'er was already pale when she finished speaking, and she fell to the ground due to exhaustion.
