Confused the world

In late July, the imperial capital has begun to have a thin autumn atmosphere.It also started to cool down at night, and when I woke up in the morning, I felt much more comfortable without the heat of summer.

The warm sunlight in the morning, over the window, shines directly into the room.Standing in front of the window was a woman in a green dress. The gentle sunlight hit her fair face, leaving a little cherry red.

With clear eyes, he looked at the yellowing pear tree leaves outside the window from a distance, his eyes were a little empty, a little lonely, with a hint of sadness.

"Miss, it's a bit chilly in the morning, please add a cloak."

A woman in a light blue court lady's attire, holding a cloak in her hand, came to her side.The voice is gentle and full of concern.

"It's okay, Luyao, Cheng'er and the others have been away from the palace for a few days?"

This voice is like water from a mountain spring, slowly passing through the atrium, gentle and melodious, making people feel comfortable and happy.

"It's been three days. Concubine Xian is in a hurry to leave the palace this time. She said she was going to recuperate. She might have something to do. That's why she did so. His Majesty sent someone to send her to Emei, but she refused. She only took her four maids and left. .”

Luyao also knew very little about this virtuous concubine, and there were all kinds of strange rumors about her in the palace.His Majesty stayed in Xueyu Palace for three days, and everyone said that the concubine was seductive, but his own lady didn't believe it, and went to Xueyu Palace to greet her in person.

The young lady's attitude towards the concubine Xian is somewhat unpredictable.

"It's been three days, and I don't know where she is now, is she in good health?"

He looked up with dark eyes, looking worriedly at the blue sky, his eyes were full of sadness.

"Miss, don't worry, the four maidservants next to Concubine Xian are all extraordinary people. Concubine Xian is from Emei, so she should be able to do some kung fu. Even if she is weak, the girl named Dongxue's medical skills are comparable to the imperial physicians in the palace. It won't go anywhere."

Luyao knows that Miss Xian cares about Concubine Xian very much. Ever since Concubine Xian left, she has locked herself in the Diewu Palace and never went out. The Queen Mother also came back after being greeted by the Empress Dowager. She often stared at the sky outside in a daze. Sometimes I would stare at the piano in a daze.If it is good, I will take a few glances at the piano score given to her by the concubine Xian.

Ever since she got better with Concubine Xian, Miss's temperament has become more and more influenced by her.

"I hope so."

Sighing, he turned and went back to the main hall.

Looking at this lonely and sad person, Luyao knew that all this was caused by Concubine Xian.Although I have met Concubine Xian several times, I still find that person interesting occasionally.She is a casual person, she does a lot of things according to her temper, and sometimes she is funny, she doesn't have the appearance that a master should have, she looks like a child.

Miss is reserved and dignified. It is not surprising to meet such a casual, humorous and informal person.

Following Li Yan back to the main hall for dinner, Chen Xi sneaked into the main hall, adding a bit of color to the entire lonely palace.

On the official road to Hangzhou, a carriage slowly moved forward.

There were two very lightly dressed women on the carriage, one was wearing a long blue skirt, holding a sword in his hand; .

"Dongxue, it's going to be dark soon. If you don't go to the village or shop, do you want to stop in the woods in front of you to rest for the night?"

"Well, we can find a convenient place."

Dong Xue lowered her eyebrows and glanced at the person who was pillowed on her lap, and spoke softly, afraid of waking up the sleeping person.

"it is good."

Chun Yu responded, speeded up, and ran towards the woods ahead.

After about half an hour, they found a place to stay, stopped the carriage, Qiuyue and Chunyu found some dry branches and branches, Xia Xiang lit a fire and boiled some water.

"Miss is awake?"

After the serious illness, the young lady's lethargy became more and more serious, and Chun Yu was a little worried.Although there is Dongxue, Miss Murong's situation is not good enough for Miss Murong.

"Just woke up, Dongxue is looking after her, and she will get off the car in a while."

Xia Xiang picked up a handful of dry firewood and put it into the fire. The sound of burning dry firewood made some noises in the quiet and cautious forest.

I used to spend the night outside occasionally, but tonight everyone felt a little eerily quiet.The sound of insects chirping in the middle of the night seemed to disappear all of a sudden.The silver moon hanging high tonight, also because of the lush branches and leaves, had to sneak in through some gaps and projected on the gray ground.

"The water is ready. Qiuyue took the cup. I'll serve it cold for the young lady. After running around for a few days, the young lady's body seems to be unbearable. From tomorrow onwards, we will slow down our pace. If not, The young lady has not arrived in Hangzhou, and I am afraid that she will suffer again."

Xia Xiang took the boiling kettle from the stand, put it aside, and ordered Qiuyue to bring a cup, and everyone poured a bowl.

Speaking of Mu Qingcheng's body, she was more worried and worried.

"Don't worry, Dong Xue has dispensed medicine for Miss, don't worry, it will be here soon."

Chun Yu came over and patted Xia Xiang on the shoulder, comforting her softly and gently.Although he said it was very good, he was no less worried than Xia Xiang.

Everyone took a look at Miss Lu's poor condition.Now Miss wakes up more than she sleeps.Everyone also hopes to go to a big town as soon as possible, where there are all kinds of medicinal materials, and they can also recuperate their bodies well before making plans to start.

"Don't worry about me, hurry up and eat some dry food. It's strange that the night is quiet, and you have enough strength to last until tomorrow's departure."

Mu Qingcheng was supported by Dong Xue to get out of the car. She felt as if someone was following her along the way. Although she didn't know their purpose, it's always good to be prepared.

"Miss, can you eat some too?"

Xia Xiang vacated a space, took out a steamed bun and handed it to Mu Qingcheng.

"Dongxue and I ate some in the car, you can eat. I'll just drink some water, the moonlight tonight is a bit lonely, like a warning before a storm comes."

Several people were taken aback when they heard Mu Qingcheng's words.Looking at her deep black eyes, and looking up at the bright moon like a silver hook, she also understood a little bit.

After a quick dinner, several people chatted for a while and went to rest, only Qiuyue kept vigil.Originally asked Mu Qingcheng to go to the car, but she stubbornly refused and insisted on sleeping with everyone around the fire.

In the middle of the night, when the wind blows in the woods occasionally, the sound of leaves swishing makes the originally silent night even more frightening.

The evening wind gently brushed Mu Qingcheng's hair and feet, the corners of her mouth were slightly curved, and she sat up.

Seeing her wake up, Qiuyue asked with concern.

"Miss, why are you awake, go and sleep for a while."

Mu Qingcheng didn't reply to her words, but stood up and smiled softly.

"Since my friend is here, why don't you show up and see him?"

After hearing this, Qiuyue took the sword, and quickly stood up to protect Mu Qingcheng.

Several people got up and gathered together when they heard the movement.

Seeing that no one came out, Mu Qingcheng yelled again.

"Everyone followed us all the way here, and it was hard work, why don't you show up and rest together?"

"Miss Mu San, you are really extraordinary."

A man in black night clothes appeared three feet away from Mu Qingcheng, and then more than a dozen men in black immediately surrounded the five of them.

"Thank you for the compliment. A few of you have followed us. I don't know which expert invited you here."

Mu Qingcheng looked up and down at the man across from him. He was about 30 years old, and his appearance was fairly handsome, but there was a scar at the corner of his eye, which made him look much more ferocious.

Mu Qingcheng hasn't fought against them yet, so he doesn't know their details.From the perspective of the number of people, if they are hired at a high price, this is to put themselves to death.

They have been invisible for so long without being noticed, which shows that their skills are also good.

"Taking people's money, □□. Miss San thinks we will say the name of the employer?"

That man obviously didn't take Mu Qingcheng seriously, he was just a few weak women.Unexpectedly mobilizing dozens of masters in the building, but it was a bit wasteful, he didn't know what the master was thinking.

"How do those people want to solve it?"

Mu Qingcheng didn't pay attention to the disdain in the eyes of the man opposite at all. She knew that this tough battle was going to be fought tonight, and she didn't have any fear in her heart.When I left the palace, I had expected such a scene, but it was a bit late.It's amazing that they are so calm.

"Someone wants to take Miss San's life, so we have no choice but to be polite."

The man smiled slightly, turned his head and said to the people beside him.

"Do it."

Then several people drew their swords out of their sheaths, ready to attack.

"Protect Dongxue and Xiaxiang."

Mu Qingcheng put her hand on her waist, and instantly there was an extra sword in her hand.

Several people were startled when they saw this action. They didn't know that the thin woman who didn't look like a hairpin actually had a soft sword hidden in her waist.The blade is extremely soft and thin.The woman on the opposite side clenched her hands tightly, and the bright moonlight shone on her soft sword, which added a lot of luster.

Qiuyue has already unsheathed her sword, and Chun Yu's martial arts are average, and the hidden weapon hidden in her cuff has already been prepared.Although Dong Xue doesn't know martial arts, but the silver needle in that hand has already reached the point of perfection.

Several people leaped out quickly with swords in hand, Mu Qingcheng flew over, and fought several moves with them.

The sound of "Dangdang" swords colliding with each other resounded throughout the forest.

Mu Qingcheng fought against those black-clothed men alone, while Qiuyue and Chunyu here did not dare to be negligent, and stared straight at those black-clothed men.

After several rounds of the battle, the few people didn't even touch a corner of Mu Qingcheng, and their own more or less suffered minor injuries.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the leading man let out a drink.

"You guys step back."

They retreated quickly, and Mu Qingcheng retracted his sword and returned to Qiuyue and the others.

"Miss Mu San is very skilled, I have learned from you."

The man clasped his fists and gave a salute, with an ugly expression on his face.

"Shadow House did not hesitate to send so many people to kill me, the buyer must not be a simple person. I just want to remind you, remember to investigate carefully when accepting orders in the future, so as not to lose the face of Shadow House."

After Mu Qingcheng finished speaking, those people were all shocked, they didn't expect that the third lady of the Prime Minister's mansion actually knew them.

"Miss Mu San, you really are not ordinary people. You can recognize our identities in just a few tricks. As killers, we never think about life and death, and we do it when we are paid."

"Hehe, you have to weigh your own weight before taking money. It's not an ordinary high price to arrange for one of the four hall masters of the Shadow Building to kill me."

The corners of Mu Qingcheng's mouth lightly lifted, completely ignoring these people.The sword in his hand was even more eye-catching under the silver moonlight.
