letter of commitment

Ling Luoqian turned sideways, and avoided the sword blade stabbed by the man in black. He was lucky secretly, and slapped the man in black with his left hand unsteadily, on the chest of the man in black. After being shaken out, he moved behind him using his body skills and gave him a fatal blow with a folding fan. Afterwards, under his active offensive, several men in black fell to the ground.

On the other hand, Mu Chu's side, although not as good in terms of force, was superior in his own body skills, and fought against him by retreating as a defense. Apart from being a little physically weak, he was able to cope with it.It's just that after a long time, the man in black who couldn't get a good deal became angry. He no longer entangled with Mu Chu, but turned his attack to Shen Qingshu and others who were hiding behind the booth.

Seeing that the blade was getting closer and closer to Shen Qingshu, Mu Chu's heart rose to his throat, regardless of whether he was tired or not, he performed lightness kung fu, first the man in black stood in front of Shen Qingshu, and then the blade pierced his shoulder Feeling the pain, without daring to delay, he slapped out with a palm, and the man in black took a few steps back, and he also fell to the person behind because of his instability.

"Mu Chu!" Shen Qingshu's voice caught Ling Luoqian's attention. Seeing that Mu Chu was injured, he took luck in his palm and sent out the folding fan in his hand. Passing through the chest of the man in black who was about to launch another offensive, the man in black fell down immediately.

"Mu Chu..." Seeing the blood flowing down the other's arm, Shen Qingshu panicked and was at a loss for a moment, but he quickly reacted, took off his outer shirt, pressed it on the wound, and tried to help him Stop the bleeding.

Ling Luoqian was still wrestling with the remaining men in black, but luckily the patrolling officers and soldiers had also arrived. Seeing this, the men in black also felt that the situation was not good, so they also ran away.Seeing this, Ling Luoqian took out his waist badge and said to the officers and soldiers who came, "I am Ling Luoqian, doctor Yinqing Guanglu, and I order you to chase after these thieves quickly!!" When the officers and soldiers started to act, they followed suit They arrived at Mu Chu's side.

"How is my sister?" Ling Luoqian asked with concern.

"I am fine."

"Fortunately, the wound is not deep and the area is not large. Although the bleeding has been stopped, we still need to use medicine quickly." Sun Qingling added after checking him.

"Let the next thing be done by the officers and soldiers. Tonight's fact is too strange. I will send you back now."

When they arrived at the street closest to Mu's Mansion, they saw the pedestrians on the street hurrying in one direction. Feeling surprised, Ling Luoqian stopped a passer-by and asked, "Brother, why are you?" Pedestrians all looked flustered, but what happened?"

"Oh, Mu's mansion is flooded, hurry to put out the fire." Saying that, he rushed towards Mu's mansion.

"Walk in the water..." Upon hearing this, Mu Chu broke away from Xiao He's support and ran towards Mu's residence regardless of his injuries.

"Sister!" "Miss!" After shouting, he hurriedly followed.

It's just that when they all arrived in front of the Mu Mansion, apart from the pedestrians and officers and soldiers who were going back and forth to collect water and put out the fire, what caught their eyes was the Mu Mansion that was about to be covered by raging fire.

"Father, mother!" Seeing this, Mu Chu was about to rush inside, but was stopped by Ling Luoqian. "My father and the others are still inside! They're still inside! Let me go!" Mu Chu roared, struggling fiercely!

"Calm down! The fire is so big now, can you go in and rescue them!?" Ling Luoqian became angry and growled.

Mu Chu was obviously stopped by the yelling and stopped struggling, but he still murmured, "Father and mother are still inside, save them..." Tears also fell down unconsciously.

When the fire was completely extinguished, the sky had turned white. Looking at the Mu Mansion where the burnt tiles were gone, Mu Chu sat paralyzed on the ground, his eyes glazed over, "Father...Mother..." After all the bodies that had been burnt to ashes were carried out, the master and servant rushed forward again.The tears that had stopped flowing down again, her voice could not stop sobbing, "Father, Mother... What is this all about... Why did it happen...", "Mr. Wai, madam... ..." After a while, the sad emotions infected the people present, and Ling Luoqian and others also had red eyes.

"My lord, all 27 corpses have been carried out, and no survivors have been found..." the local prefect said to Ling Luoqian.

"I see..." Ling Luoqian calmed down his emotions and walked to Mu Chu's side, "Sister... I will take care of the rest of the matter. You are still injured, so go back to Ling Mansion first..." He said He signaled to the officers and soldiers on the side, "Send Miss Mu, Mr. Shen and others back to Ling Mansion."

"No... father and mother are still here, I won't go..., father and mother can't see me, they have to worry..." Mu Chu slowly uttered this sentence consciously or subconsciously, just let Everyone who heard it was worried.

"My sister is obedient, go back first."

It's just that Mu Chu no longer responded, and knelt beside Mu Yuanwai and Mrs. Mu's corpses, lowering his head and staring blankly at the corpses lying on the ground.

Seeing that no one could persuade him, Shen Qingshu finally stepped forward.Kneeling down and looking at Mu Chu, he softly called out, "Mu Chu? Mu Chu?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Mu Chu slowly looked up at the person in front of him, and suddenly grinned, "Hey, it's sir, sir, it's dawn now, are you here to urge me to study books, what are we going to learn today? ...But, I haven't finished memorizing yesterday's book..." Mu Chu said to himself, but Shen Qingshu felt an indescribable pain intruding into his heart. The voice didn't sound so sad, "Yes, it's time to study the book, but we don't study the content of the book today, we have to go somewhere else, may I take you there?"

"Well... But, my parents won't let me go out..."

"It's okay, I've already told Yuanwai and his wife, and they agreed." As he spoke, he got up and tried to help Mu Chu up, and Mu Chu obediently got up when he heard his words. "Then, then let's go! Lest parents and mothers go back on their word!" But after a while, she passed out due to exhaustion, Shen Qingshu helped her in time, and said to Ling Luoqian, "Master Ling, I will pay you here." Here you go."

Ling Luoqian nodded.

After taking Mu Chu to Ling's residence, Sun Qingling arranged it skillfully, and the people in the residence seemed to be very familiar with her, Shen Qingshu only felt that he had great doubts.

After the arrangement was made, Mu Chu sent a message to the doctor about Mu Chu's situation. After the doctor bandaged Mu Chu's wound and checked his pulse, Shen Qingshu asked eagerly, "How's it going, doctor?"

"Don't worry, my lord, the wound on the shoulder is fine, remember to change the medicine on time, and it will take a while to recover. It's just..."

"Just what? Just say it."

"It's just that this lady's mental state has been greatly stimulated, causing her to be a little unconscious, and she may occasionally talk nonsense. The only thing the old man can do is to prescribe some tranquilizers for her. Others, It can only rely on her own good fortune."

After sending the doctor away, the three people in the house were in mixed feelings. After leaving Xiao He to take care of them, Sun and Chen went outside the house.

"Brother Qingshu, do you have anything to ask?" Sun Qingling looked at the other party's puzzled look and asked, only to see him nodded.

"My educated youth brother's doubts, I wanted to tell you later, but now I can't hide it. Just last month, after Miss Mu came to Chiyuxuan with you and Mr. Ling, Mr. Ling often went to Chiyuxuan Yuxuan looked for me, and even redeemed me, letting me live in the Ling Mansion, but that's all, please brother Qingshu don't misunderstand... I just think he is my benefactor, stay in the mansion Just to be able to answer him one day..." Sun Qingling's voice became weaker and weaker, because even she herself didn't believe this set of rhetoric, how could she not know Ling Luoqian's intentions?It's just that I really don't deserve it, so why not pretend I don't know?

After hearing her words, Shen Qingshu didn't say anything, just looked at her for a long time, then sighed and went into the room again, because this was not her business.

It was noon when Ling Luoqian came back, and called Shen Qingshu to the front hall to explain his results.

"The men in black who attacked us last night let them slip away, but judging from the attire of the bodies of the men in black, it can be determined that this should be a professional killer organization, but the specifics are still under investigation. And this time the Mu Mansion ran into water, it was by no means an accident. Although it was difficult to distinguish because it had been burned to ashes, Wu Zuo still found the wounds from the blades on these corpses. If I'm not mistaken... Uncle They must have been killed first, and then the perpetrators set fire to try to cover up the traces to create the illusion of an accidental fire, and the perpetrators are likely to be the same organization as those who attacked us last night, but... who the hell is so cruel? The house is full!" After hearing Ling Luoqian's words, Shen Qingshu was already surprised, but Ling Luoqian said again, "It's just that we don't have any useful clues yet, and you have also seen Mu Chu's situation. If she asks, please ask Qing Shu to tell me that it was just an accident."

Shen Qingshu knew what Ling Luoqian was worried about. If Mu Chu knew the truth, it would be hard for her to accept it. Moreover, these people came after her and Mu's house, and what he had to do now was to protect her well.

However, what they didn't expect was that the next day they heard the bad news from the west side of the city. The Liu Mansion located in the west of the city was burned to ashes overnight, and no one in the mansion survived...

In the dark, a man in black respectfully said to the middle-aged man in black in front of him, "My lord, the task has been completed, but..." The man in black paused for a moment: "Just let Mu Nian's daughter escape." It's..."

"What!" the middle-aged man shouted.

"My lord, calm down. The officers and soldiers arrived at that time and let her escape. Don't worry, my lord. Wait a little longer, and I will surely take her life!"

"Hmph." The middle-aged man snorted coldly: "Now your actions have attracted the attention of the government, and I'm afraid it will be inconvenient to act again in the future. Forget it, a yellow-haired girl, don't be in a hurry to make a move, and send a few hidden guards to watch. Back off Come down."

"Yes."

The middle-aged man clenched his fists, Mu Nian, I will definitely get back what you owe to my sister and our He family!
