brother don't run
Chapter 5
Two days later, the old concubine did not wake up. Qiu Lichen gave her acupuncture twice a day, but it was useless. Knowing that it was caused by the spread of the poison, he could only use golden needles to relieve the poison and restrain it.It seems that if the old princess wants to wake up, she must find the thousand-year-old jade toad as soon as possible.
"Lichen, look what this king brought you here." This day, Mu Xianyang went down to court, and immediately came to the Cixin Pavilion. As soon as he entered the door, he put the peach wood carving food box in front of him.
"What else can it be except food." Putting down the medical book he was studying, Qiu Lichen just glanced at it, and then turned his gaze back to the book.
He is really regarded as a three-year-old child. What else is in the food box?
"When I entered the palace today, the Empress Dowager asked about my mother's condition. Knowing that you were here, I specially rewarded you with pineapple cakes."
Mu Xianyang smiled and took out a plate of golden pineapple cakes from the food box, and handed a piece to him.
"The imperial chef just made it this morning, eat it quickly, it won't taste good if it gets cold."
Qiu Lichen didn't like sweets, but he didn't like Mu Xianyang's kindness. In addition, the pineapple cake in front of him was small and cute, and it smelled faintly, so he finally reached out to take it and bit it lightly. a small bit.
It melts in the mouth, the taste is neither sweet nor greasy, and the fragrance is refreshing. It is worthy of being a dessert for the queen!
"Let me tell you, I have made all the arrangements for the trip. The place where the jade toad haunts is only two days away from the palace. We will leave tomorrow... By the way, what are you looking at these days?" He said Lifting up the hem of his clothes, he sat opposite Qiu Lichen, reached out and flipped through the medical books on the table.
"It's just a medical book, is the lord interested?" Qiu Lichen said, took a sip of tea, to get rid of the sweetness in his mouth, and stuck out the tip of his tongue to lick the debris from his lips.
In the past, Yang only liked to practice martial arts and not to read books. I believe he will not suddenly want to read books now.
"Forget it, I'm not interested in these things, but you have heart palpitations, so be careful." Mu Xianyang just rolled over twice and put it down. He looked up at Qiu Lichen intently, and saw him sticking out his pink tongue to lick it. As she pursed her lips, there was a sudden burst of heat in her lower abdomen, wishing she could hold her in her arms and pamper her wantonly.
It's just that he is in his mother's room now, so he doesn't dare to make a mistake.
"I'm stubborn, I'm used to it." Seeing how much he cared about her, Qiu Lichen felt warm in his heart, and there was a faint smile on his face.
This smile was like the spring sun melting ice, and the jade-like face exuded seductive tenderness, Mu Xianyang couldn't take his eyes away when he saw it.
"Cough, cough." He coughed a few times in embarrassment after seeing his scalp tingle.
Touching his nose and realizing that he lost his composure, Mu Xianyang also blushed, got up and prepared to leave, "You should rest, the king is out."
"My lord..."
"What's the matter?" The person who was about to leave paused, and hurriedly looked back at him.
"Thank you for the pineapple cake."
"Oh...it's nothing, you should rest earlier, we'll leave tomorrow."
"Well, my lord should go to bed earlier, and I have to get up early tomorrow."
"Okay, okay." Like a young man in Huaichun, Mu Xianyang blushed, turned around and left in a daze.
His mind was full of Qiu Lichen's smiling face, and he laughed as he walked, his beating heart felt unprecedentedly satisfied.
This is the first time Lichen cares about him!
That night, Mu Xianyang had a charming dream, and the person in the dream was Qiu Lichen.
But in the dream, he was lying naked under him, twisting his white body and moaning, his slender limbs wrapped around him, his eyes were like silk, and he whispered his name...
This erotic dream lasted until dawn, and when the servants came in to wake him up, he sat up with red eyes, looking horribly haggard.
"My lord, didn't you sleep well last night?" Standing at the gate of the palace, looking at Mu Xianyang with bloodshot eyes, Qiu Lichen couldn't help being stunned.
"Yes, yes, insomnia." As soon as he saw Qiu Lichen, he remembered the dream from last night, and even his breathing was a little difficult.
Can't look, can't look, he told himself so, but he couldn't bear to take his eyes off Qiu Lichen...
The white-clothed and white-haired Qiu Lichen was as handsome as a banished fairy, and he couldn't help looking at it over and over greedily.
Thinking that he was worried about the old concubine's condition, and stayed up all night, Qiu Lichen comforted him, "You don't have to worry too much about the old concubine, a lucky person has his own destiny."
"Well, you just took the medicine?" He didn't sleep well at night, and his head hurt a little, he leaned his face to Qiu Lichen, smelled the medicine on his body, and felt calmer.
"Just finished eating. Would you like to sleep in the carriage for a while?" Qiu Lichen could tell from Mu Xianyang's expression that his headache had struck again, so he didn't stop him from approaching.
"No, let's go, I'm afraid I'll miss it if it's late."
Smelling the scent of medicine on Qiu Lichen's body, Mu Xianyang relieved his headache a bit, looked up and saw that the sun was already high in the sky, so he gave the order to set off.
A group of people drove lightly, left the city, traveled day and night, and finally came to a mountain forest.
This is where Mu Xianyang sent people to inquire about where the Millennium Jade Toad might appear.
The guards surrounded the two of them, walking on the mountain path, Mu Xianyang looked around vigilantly, feeling that there were indeed many masters hiding.
"Lichen, don't leave this king's side." He approached Qiu Lichen and protected him by his side.
This place is full of dangers, and he suddenly regrets bringing Lichen here, but if he doesn't bring him, he won't be able to find the thousand-year-old jade toad.
"Don't worry, I still have poison powder for self-defense." Qiu Lichen patted his arm to reassure him.In the past, so many people wanted to enter the Valley of Medicine. If he had no skills, he would have been robbed long ago.
"Anyway, it's better to be careful, we'll leave when Yuchan gets it." Clenching his hand, Mu Xianyang was still worried.
At night, they camped on the mountainside. In the camp tent set up by the guards, Mu Xianyang walked up and down, a little restless, while Qiu Lichen looked calm and relaxed.
"My lord, don't go, sit down and have a sip of tea."
"The number of people outside has increased again. It seems that they are all targeting the Millennium Jade Toad." Looking out from time to time, Mu Xianyang looked worried.
He originally thought there were only a few dozen people, but by the looks of it, before tomorrow morning, there will be hundreds of martial arts practitioners here, and the guards around him may not be able to stop them from taking the treasure.
"My lord, please sit down. Tomorrow will be the night of the full moon. There is no need to be anxious now." Putting down the teacup, he tried to persuade him.
Seeing Qiu Lichen's confident appearance, Mu Xianyang was secretly curious, but he didn't ask any questions. He had inexplicable confidence in him.
"Li Chen, you should sleep with me tonight." Holding his hand in his palm, Mu Xianyang asked expectantly.
"What do you want to do!" Frowning his eyebrows, Qiu Lichen immediately pulled his hand away, but he was held tightly and couldn't move it no matter what.
"Don't get me wrong, I just have a headache, and this place is full of dangers, I don't worry about you sleeping alone." Mu Xianyang explained with a depressed face.
Does he just look like a pervert?Otherwise, why is Li Chen so afraid of him?
He doesn't have that kind of thought now, although he really wants to get him, but his mother's illness is also very important!
"Only this time, not the next time."
After hearing this, Qiu Lichen couldn't help softening his heart. Although he didn't nod his head in agreement, he didn't refuse either.
That night, the two of them lay on the same bed with their clothes on. This time, Mu Xianyang slept soundly, but Qiu Lichen suffered a lot.
Mu Xianyang slept very badly, turned over and pressed him under him, and dawdled from time to time, several times he wanted to wake up this sleepy and dishonest guy, but when he thought of this man's red eyes With all the eyes, he couldn't bear it.
After finally surviving until dawn, his heart began to throb again, so he quickly took out the pill from his bosom and took it.
"Li Chen, are you alright?" Mu Xianyang, who just woke up, opened his eyes and saw that he was taking medicine, and his heart tightened.
"It's fine after taking the medicine. Since the prince is awake, let me get up."
"Ah! Oh...Okay." Mu Xianyang realized that he was lying on Qiu Lichen's body and pressing him down.No wonder Li Chen's face was pale and his speech was weak.With this thought, he quickly sat up.
At this time, there was a sudden sound of fighting outside, followed by a few loud yells, and then everything fell silent.
A guard lifted the curtain, knelt on the ground and shouted loudly, "My lord, there is an assassin breaking in, and I can't stop it."
"Which blind guy dares to assassinate." Mu Xianyang shouted angrily, got up, and was about to go out to see what happened.
Suddenly a white shadow flashed, and a person slipped into the tent. The person who came was white-clothed and flamboyant. When he saw him, he grinned, "Young Lord Mu, stay safe."
"What are you doing here!" Seeing that the person who came was the martial arts leader he hated the most, Mu Xianyang's face turned livid.
No need to think about it, the assassin the guards mentioned must be this person, the martial arts leader Feng Wanqiu is so superb, how can the guards outside stop him.
"My lord, Brother Wan Qiu was called by me." Knowing that the two people were always at odds, Qiu Lichen immediately came over to smooth things over, "If you want to get the Millennium Jade Toad, you still need Brother Wan Qiu's help."
"This king can do it himself, why do you want him to help?" Although Mu Xianyang was angry, but he didn't want to upset Qiu Lichen, so he snorted and turned his head away, and moved the hand on the long sword at his waist open.
"The reason is very simple, because of my blood." Feng Wanqiu put away the sword, and glanced at the little overlord proudly.
"Your blood?" Mu Xianyang looked at Feng Wanqiu with more doubts in his eyes.
"Brother Wanqiu swallowed the inner alchemy of a thousand-year-old python spirit before, and there is the blood of the python essence in his body. The thousand-year-old jade toad has always fed on the blood of more than a hundred years old python, so the blood of brother Wanqiu is the best bait." Qiu Li Chen took the initiative to explain his doubts.
"It's not our relatives, so why should he help us?" After hearing this, Mu Xianyang twitched the corners of his lips, but his tone softened a bit.
"Doesn't the prince want to cure the old concubine's illness as soon as possible?"
"My lord..." Mu Xianyang was momentarily at a loss for words, and didn't know what to say.He obviously doesn't like Feng Wanqiu, but now he wants to accept his love, he is really unwilling!
"My lord, today is the night of the full moon. If you miss it, you will have to wait for another month. The old concubine's illness is urgent, and her body should be the most important thing." This is why he knows that Yang doesn't like to see Brother Wan Qiu, The reason why he was still invited.
"Okay, it's up to you, but you have to stay by my king's side and never leave." Knowing that Qiu Lichen's words were reasonable, Mu Xianyang couldn't continue to make trouble.
"Take it, you think I'm happy to see you? If it wasn't for Li Chen's sake, I wouldn't have come." Feng Wanqiu snorted.
I really don't know when Li Chen and Lord Mu got together, he wanted to tell Li Chen now that this little overlord is famous in the capital, and he has many concubines in his mansion, but he wants to live in Li Chen's heart forever His junior brother shouldn't be confused, it's more likely that Mu Xianyang was so hot that he simply kept silent.
Seeing Feng Wanqiu throwing a bamboo tube as thick as a thumb, Mu Xianyang took it in his hand, with a bewildered expression on his face.
"Hey, why are you throwing a broken bamboo tube at me?"
"Thank you, Brother Wanqiu, Quan'er will trouble you too." Qiu Lichen smiled knowingly, and brought the bamboo tube over.
"Little Prince Mu, Li Chen will be entrusted to you for the time being. If you dare to treat him badly, be careful and I will settle accounts with you." After Feng Wanqiu finished speaking, he turned around and left the camp, and then disappeared.
"Feng Wanqiu, you bastard, leave as soon as you say! You have no manners at all!"
"My lord, please calm down. For the sake of Brother Wan Qiu helping you find Yuchan, you can forgive him." Qiu Lichen comforted Mu Xianyang softly by tugging at Mu Xianyang's sleeve.
"Hmph, how could this king care about that kind of country rough man, but what's in it?" Pointing at the bamboo tube, Mu Xianyang was a little curious.
"You will know in the evening." As he said that, Qiu Lichen pretended to be mysterious and gave a low smile.
The sky gradually darkened, the moon hung high in the sky, and under the melting moonlight, countless figures shuttled among the trees.
Mu Xianyang sent back the guards who were injured by Feng Wanqiu, and those who were not injured spread out to ambush around, and according to Qiu Lichen's wishes, he led him to a swamp.
"It's right here, you can't be wrong."
"Li Chen, let's wait over there." Mu Xianyang frowned, pointing to a big rock not far away.
He likes to be clean, but this swamp exudes a foul stench. If Li Chen hadn't designated this place, he would have avoided it long ago.
"Okay." Qiu Lichen didn't like the smell either, so he nodded in agreement.
The two came to the boulder, he took out the bamboo tube Feng Wanqiu gave him from his arms, held it in his hand, stared at the swamp, and waited quietly.
The moon rose higher and higher, like a silver plate. Because of the pungent smell of the swamp, people shunned it, so almost no one came over.
"Li Chen, when will the Millennium Jade Chan show up?" Seeing that it was already three o'clock, but there was no movement at all, Mu Xianyang was a little impatient.
It's not that he doesn't believe in Lichen, it's just that Yuchan hasn't come out for a thousand years, could it be that he went to another place?
"Shut up, hurry up." Qiu Lichen signaled him to keep quiet, and then pulled the plug off the bamboo tube.
The bright red liquid flowed out from the bamboo tube, exuding a faint smell of blood, falling into the swamp drop by drop, and half the tube of blood disappeared in an instant.
Mu Xianyang now understood that the bamboo tube contained Feng Wanqiu's blood.Li Chen said that Feng Wanqiu's blood can draw out a thousand-year-old jade toad, but I don't know if it's true...
"Lichen, look!" Mu Xianyang exclaimed, pointing to a spot in the swamp.
A group of soft fluorescent light came out from there, slowly moving towards them, until it stopped at the place where the blood dripped.
The ray of light became more and more dazzling, and the entire light group was reflected in their eyes. Inside the light group was a fist-sized jade toad, the whole body was transparent, and even the blood vessels on its skin could be seen clearly.
"My lord, hold this and move quickly later."
Qiu Lichen took out a jade box and handed it to Mu Xianyang, and then dripped all the remaining blood in the bamboo tube into his palm.
The thousand-year-old Yuchan was getting closer and closer to them, and finally jumped into Qiu Lichen's palm along with the blood. Yuchan kept licking and sucking the blood drops, and Qiu Lichen quickly folded his hands together and grabbed it tightly.
"Who dares to snatch the Millennium Jade Toad with my Palace Master!"
Suddenly a coquettish voice sounded, and under the night, a stunning woman in a red veil landed opposite them, her long and narrow phoenix eyes greedily looked at the thousand-year-old jade toad in Qiu Lichen's hand.
"My lord, put it away." Hastily stuffing the jade toad into the jade box, Qiu Lichen groaned inwardly.
Although he seldom travels in the rivers and lakes, he has heard of Zhu Panpan's name for a long time.
Zhu Panpan, known as the "Red Blood Spider" in the world, is the owner of the Red Palace of the Western Region.This school has a strange way of martial arts, and they practice more poisonous skills.It's just that many years ago, under the siege of righteous people, she has not entered the Central Plains for a long time, and the palace owner Zhu Panpan has been in seclusion for many years. She did not expect that she would come out of the mountain for the Millennium Jade Chan.
"Young man, don't hesitate to present the Millennium Jade Toad. My lord is in a good mood today, so I will spare your life." Zhu Panpan pointed at them, and the Koudan on his fingertips was extremely red.
"Senior, the Millennium Jade Toad is very important to us, and we cannot give it up to you." Qiu Lichen planned to salute first and then fight. Although Yang is here now, the martial arts of Palace Master Zhu are unpredictable, so it is better not to do it if you don't do it.
But Mu Xianyang didn't understand his painstaking efforts, he gave the woman a cold look, and snorted through his nostrils, "Li Chen, why are you being polite with her, we got the Millennium Jade Chan first, so naturally we of."
"My lord, don't provoke her, we have already got the jade toad, we should find a way to get out of here first." Leaning in Mu Xianyang's ear, he said softly.
"Well, let's go." Mu Xianyang felt that what he said was reasonable, he stuffed the jade box into his bosom with one hand, and put his arm around Qiu Lichen's waist with the other, and was about to leave.
"If you want to take Yuchan away, don't even think about it!" Zhu Panpan laughed a few times, and was about to fly over to stop him.
"Come on, kill this girl to me." Mu Xianyang yelled, and the guards who were ambushing around appeared immediately, surrounded Zhu Panpan, and he took the opportunity to wrap his arms around Qiu Lichen's waist. As soon as he showed his lightness kung fu, he floated a few feet away.
"Want to run, dream!"
In the blink of an eye, Zhu Panpan had already repelled quite a few guards, and chased after them with his extremely light kung fu.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Qiu Lichen took out a pack of poisonous powder from his bosom and sprinkled it out. The woods covered by the poisonous powder turned black instantly, but he couldn't stop Zhu Panpan.
"She's not even afraid of poison..." Mu Xianyang was stunned, he didn't expect this female devil to be so powerful.
"She is also a master at using poison. We are not her opponents. Let's go." Not daring to turn around, the sound of the wind blowing past his ears brought out a sense of tension, Qiu Lichen couldn't help holding Mu Xianyang's hand tightly.
Zhu Panpan chased closer and closer, and almost caught up several times. Mu Xianyang felt that this was not an option, so he simply turned around and ran back to the swamp.
When the female devil was talking to Li Chen just now, she didn't seem to want to get close to the swamp, and presumably she didn't like the smell of the swamp...
Landing on the boulder again, Zhu Panpan chased after him, but covered his mouth and nose with his hands, with disgust on his face.
"Li Chen, take it, I will fight her." Mu Xianyang hastily stuffed the jade box into his arms, gaining confidence.
Although this woman is powerful, she obviously has a weakness. As long as she grasps this weakness, she will be able to beat her back in one fell swoop!
"Yang, be careful." Before Qiu Lichen could stop him, Mu Xianyang had already flown to fight with Zhu Panpan. He stood aside, his heart beating wildly, and he couldn't help crying out.
After dozens of rounds, the two sides fought inextricably, but it was still obvious that Mu Xianyang was the loser.
But Zhu Yipan had nothing to do with him, as soon as Mu Xianyang saw something was wrong, he would run to the swamp, avoiding several fatal attacks.
"My good boy, how dare you play tricks on my lord. My lord is going to kill me today." Zhu Panpan found himself being played around by Mu Xianyang, and his gloomy eyes suddenly shifted to Qiu Lichen.
"Lichen, you go first, the queen is dead." Mu Xianyang yelled secretly, so he turned around and yelled at Qiu Lichen.
Li Chen doesn't have martial arts, so he can't stop this devil's move at all!
Moreover, this female devil is here for the Millennium Yuchan, if Li Chen stays here, the danger will be even more dangerous.
He has never been so nervous before, and he has never been so confused for anyone. At this moment, he finally understands that Qiu Lichen's name has been deeply engraved in his heart, which cannot be erased...
At this critical moment, he would rather be the one who gets hurt than see Li Chen get hurt!
"Yang..." But Qiu Lilu just stood there in a daze, unable to move a step, holding the jade box, his whole body trembling.
He can't go, Yang is still here, he doesn't want to lose Yang again, the one time has already made him miserable, he can't lose it again...
"Hurry up, do you hear me!" Seeing that he didn't move, Mu Xianyang got angry and roared.
"Okay, I'll go." Suddenly regaining consciousness, Qiu Lichen ran forward like crazy.
What Zhu Panpan wants is the thousand-year-old jade toad. As long as the jade toad is in his hands, Yang will not be in danger.
As long as Yang is fine, that's enough...
"Stop, let's see where you are going!" Zhu Panpan immediately dropped Mu Xianyang and was about to chase after him.
But Mu Xianyang couldn't let her go, he immediately jumped up and grabbed her arm tightly, watching Qiu Lichen's back gradually disappear before his eyes.
He finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Li Chen was safe and his mother was saved, he felt that everything was worth it...
"Go to hell!" Zhu Panpan couldn't break free from his restraint, so he raised his hand and slapped him in anger.
He hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it, but unfortunately he dodged this palm, but he couldn't dodge the next palm. The palm swung by Zhu Panpan was very soft, but very fierce, hitting his lower abdomen forcefully.
"Pfft!" A mouthful of blood spewed out wildly, and there was a huge pain in the lower abdomen. Mu Xianyang only felt that his eyes were blurred, and he felt nothing, and his body kept falling.
"Positive……"
"You... what are you doing back here..." The last look at the shore had exhausted all his strength, and he was speechless.
Seeing that no one was chasing him, Qiu Lichen felt something was wrong, and hurried back, only to see Mu Xianyang fall into the swamp covered in blood, screamed, and jumped down too.
"Lichen, look what this king brought you here." This day, Mu Xianyang went down to court, and immediately came to the Cixin Pavilion. As soon as he entered the door, he put the peach wood carving food box in front of him.
"What else can it be except food." Putting down the medical book he was studying, Qiu Lichen just glanced at it, and then turned his gaze back to the book.
He is really regarded as a three-year-old child. What else is in the food box?
"When I entered the palace today, the Empress Dowager asked about my mother's condition. Knowing that you were here, I specially rewarded you with pineapple cakes."
Mu Xianyang smiled and took out a plate of golden pineapple cakes from the food box, and handed a piece to him.
"The imperial chef just made it this morning, eat it quickly, it won't taste good if it gets cold."
Qiu Lichen didn't like sweets, but he didn't like Mu Xianyang's kindness. In addition, the pineapple cake in front of him was small and cute, and it smelled faintly, so he finally reached out to take it and bit it lightly. a small bit.
It melts in the mouth, the taste is neither sweet nor greasy, and the fragrance is refreshing. It is worthy of being a dessert for the queen!
"Let me tell you, I have made all the arrangements for the trip. The place where the jade toad haunts is only two days away from the palace. We will leave tomorrow... By the way, what are you looking at these days?" He said Lifting up the hem of his clothes, he sat opposite Qiu Lichen, reached out and flipped through the medical books on the table.
"It's just a medical book, is the lord interested?" Qiu Lichen said, took a sip of tea, to get rid of the sweetness in his mouth, and stuck out the tip of his tongue to lick the debris from his lips.
In the past, Yang only liked to practice martial arts and not to read books. I believe he will not suddenly want to read books now.
"Forget it, I'm not interested in these things, but you have heart palpitations, so be careful." Mu Xianyang just rolled over twice and put it down. He looked up at Qiu Lichen intently, and saw him sticking out his pink tongue to lick it. As she pursed her lips, there was a sudden burst of heat in her lower abdomen, wishing she could hold her in her arms and pamper her wantonly.
It's just that he is in his mother's room now, so he doesn't dare to make a mistake.
"I'm stubborn, I'm used to it." Seeing how much he cared about her, Qiu Lichen felt warm in his heart, and there was a faint smile on his face.
This smile was like the spring sun melting ice, and the jade-like face exuded seductive tenderness, Mu Xianyang couldn't take his eyes away when he saw it.
"Cough, cough." He coughed a few times in embarrassment after seeing his scalp tingle.
Touching his nose and realizing that he lost his composure, Mu Xianyang also blushed, got up and prepared to leave, "You should rest, the king is out."
"My lord..."
"What's the matter?" The person who was about to leave paused, and hurriedly looked back at him.
"Thank you for the pineapple cake."
"Oh...it's nothing, you should rest earlier, we'll leave tomorrow."
"Well, my lord should go to bed earlier, and I have to get up early tomorrow."
"Okay, okay." Like a young man in Huaichun, Mu Xianyang blushed, turned around and left in a daze.
His mind was full of Qiu Lichen's smiling face, and he laughed as he walked, his beating heart felt unprecedentedly satisfied.
This is the first time Lichen cares about him!
That night, Mu Xianyang had a charming dream, and the person in the dream was Qiu Lichen.
But in the dream, he was lying naked under him, twisting his white body and moaning, his slender limbs wrapped around him, his eyes were like silk, and he whispered his name...

"Yes, yes, insomnia." As soon as he saw Qiu Lichen, he remembered the dream from last night, and even his breathing was a little difficult.
Can't look, can't look, he told himself so, but he couldn't bear to take his eyes off Qiu Lichen...
The white-clothed and white-haired Qiu Lichen was as handsome as a banished fairy, and he couldn't help looking at it over and over greedily.
Thinking that he was worried about the old concubine's condition, and stayed up all night, Qiu Lichen comforted him, "You don't have to worry too much about the old concubine, a lucky person has his own destiny."
"Well, you just took the medicine?" He didn't sleep well at night, and his head hurt a little, he leaned his face to Qiu Lichen, smelled the medicine on his body, and felt calmer.
"Just finished eating. Would you like to sleep in the carriage for a while?" Qiu Lichen could tell from Mu Xianyang's expression that his headache had struck again, so he didn't stop him from approaching.
"No, let's go, I'm afraid I'll miss it if it's late."

He doesn't have that kind of thought now, although he really wants to get him, but his mother's illness is also very important!

A guard lifted the curtain, knelt on the ground and shouted loudly, "My lord, there is an assassin breaking in, and I can't stop it."
"Which blind guy dares to assassinate." Mu Xianyang shouted angrily, got up, and was about to go out to see what happened.
Suddenly a white shadow flashed, and a person slipped into the tent. The person who came was white-clothed and flamboyant. When he saw him, he grinned, "Young Lord Mu, stay safe."
"What are you doing here!" Seeing that the person who came was the martial arts leader he hated the most, Mu Xianyang's face turned livid.
No need to think about it, the assassin the guards mentioned must be this person, the martial arts leader Feng Wanqiu is so superb, how can the guards outside stop him.
"My lord, Brother Wan Qiu was called by me." Knowing that the two people were always at odds, Qiu Lichen immediately came over to smooth things over, "If you want to get the Millennium Jade Toad, you still need Brother Wan Qiu's help."
"This king can do it himself, why do you want him to help?" Although Mu Xianyang was angry, but he didn't want to upset Qiu Lichen, so he snorted and turned his head away, and moved the hand on the long sword at his waist open.
"The reason is very simple, because of my blood." Feng Wanqiu put away the sword, and glanced at the little overlord proudly.
"Your blood?" Mu Xianyang looked at Feng Wanqiu with more doubts in his eyes.
"Brother Wanqiu swallowed the inner alchemy of a thousand-year-old python spirit before, and there is the blood of the python essence in his body. The thousand-year-old jade toad has always fed on the blood of more than a hundred years old python, so the blood of brother Wanqiu is the best bait." Qiu Li Chen took the initiative to explain his doubts.
"It's not our relatives, so why should he help us?" After hearing this, Mu Xianyang twitched the corners of his lips, but his tone softened a bit.
"Doesn't the prince want to cure the old concubine's illness as soon as possible?"
"My lord..." Mu Xianyang was momentarily at a loss for words, and didn't know what to say.He obviously doesn't like Feng Wanqiu, but now he wants to accept his love, he is really unwilling!
"My lord, today is the night of the full moon. If you miss it, you will have to wait for another month. The old concubine's illness is urgent, and her body should be the most important thing." This is why he knows that Yang doesn't like to see Brother Wan Qiu, The reason why he was still invited.
"Okay, it's up to you, but you have to stay by my king's side and never leave." Knowing that Qiu Lichen's words were reasonable, Mu Xianyang couldn't continue to make trouble.
"Take it, you think I'm happy to see you? If it wasn't for Li Chen's sake, I wouldn't have come." Feng Wanqiu snorted.
I really don't know when Li Chen and Lord Mu got together, he wanted to tell Li Chen now that this little overlord is famous in the capital, and he has many concubines in his mansion, but he wants to live in Li Chen's heart forever His junior brother shouldn't be confused, it's more likely that Mu Xianyang was so hot that he simply kept silent.
Seeing Feng Wanqiu throwing a bamboo tube as thick as a thumb, Mu Xianyang took it in his hand, with a bewildered expression on his face.
"Hey, why are you throwing a broken bamboo tube at me?"
"Thank you, Brother Wanqiu, Quan'er will trouble you too." Qiu Lichen smiled knowingly, and brought the bamboo tube over.
"Little Prince Mu, Li Chen will be entrusted to you for the time being. If you dare to treat him badly, be careful and I will settle accounts with you." After Feng Wanqiu finished speaking, he turned around and left the camp, and then disappeared.
"Feng Wanqiu, you bastard, leave as soon as you say! You have no manners at all!"
"My lord, please calm down. For the sake of Brother Wan Qiu helping you find Yuchan, you can forgive him." Qiu Lichen comforted Mu Xianyang softly by tugging at Mu Xianyang's sleeve.
"Hmph, how could this king care about that kind of country rough man, but what's in it?" Pointing at the bamboo tube, Mu Xianyang was a little curious.
"You will know in the evening." As he said that, Qiu Lichen pretended to be mysterious and gave a low smile.
The sky gradually darkened, the moon hung high in the sky, and under the melting moonlight, countless figures shuttled among the trees.
Mu Xianyang sent back the guards who were injured by Feng Wanqiu, and those who were not injured spread out to ambush around, and according to Qiu Lichen's wishes, he led him to a swamp.
"It's right here, you can't be wrong."
"Li Chen, let's wait over there." Mu Xianyang frowned, pointing to a big rock not far away.
He likes to be clean, but this swamp exudes a foul stench. If Li Chen hadn't designated this place, he would have avoided it long ago.
"Okay." Qiu Lichen didn't like the smell either, so he nodded in agreement.
The two came to the boulder, he took out the bamboo tube Feng Wanqiu gave him from his arms, held it in his hand, stared at the swamp, and waited quietly.
The moon rose higher and higher, like a silver plate. Because of the pungent smell of the swamp, people shunned it, so almost no one came over.
"Li Chen, when will the Millennium Jade Chan show up?" Seeing that it was already three o'clock, but there was no movement at all, Mu Xianyang was a little impatient.
It's not that he doesn't believe in Lichen, it's just that Yuchan hasn't come out for a thousand years, could it be that he went to another place?
"Shut up, hurry up." Qiu Lichen signaled him to keep quiet, and then pulled the plug off the bamboo tube.
The bright red liquid flowed out from the bamboo tube, exuding a faint smell of blood, falling into the swamp drop by drop, and half the tube of blood disappeared in an instant.
Mu Xianyang now understood that the bamboo tube contained Feng Wanqiu's blood.Li Chen said that Feng Wanqiu's blood can draw out a thousand-year-old jade toad, but I don't know if it's true...
"Lichen, look!" Mu Xianyang exclaimed, pointing to a spot in the swamp.
A group of soft fluorescent light came out from there, slowly moving towards them, until it stopped at the place where the blood dripped.
The ray of light became more and more dazzling, and the entire light group was reflected in their eyes. Inside the light group was a fist-sized jade toad, the whole body was transparent, and even the blood vessels on its skin could be seen clearly.
"My lord, hold this and move quickly later."
Qiu Lichen took out a jade box and handed it to Mu Xianyang, and then dripped all the remaining blood in the bamboo tube into his palm.
The thousand-year-old Yuchan was getting closer and closer to them, and finally jumped into Qiu Lichen's palm along with the blood. Yuchan kept licking and sucking the blood drops, and Qiu Lichen quickly folded his hands together and grabbed it tightly.
"Who dares to snatch the Millennium Jade Toad with my Palace Master!"
Suddenly a coquettish voice sounded, and under the night, a stunning woman in a red veil landed opposite them, her long and narrow phoenix eyes greedily looked at the thousand-year-old jade toad in Qiu Lichen's hand.
"My lord, put it away." Hastily stuffing the jade toad into the jade box, Qiu Lichen groaned inwardly.
Although he seldom travels in the rivers and lakes, he has heard of Zhu Panpan's name for a long time.
Zhu Panpan, known as the "Red Blood Spider" in the world, is the owner of the Red Palace of the Western Region.This school has a strange way of martial arts, and they practice more poisonous skills.It's just that many years ago, under the siege of righteous people, she has not entered the Central Plains for a long time, and the palace owner Zhu Panpan has been in seclusion for many years. She did not expect that she would come out of the mountain for the Millennium Jade Chan.
"Young man, don't hesitate to present the Millennium Jade Toad. My lord is in a good mood today, so I will spare your life." Zhu Panpan pointed at them, and the Koudan on his fingertips was extremely red.
"Senior, the Millennium Jade Toad is very important to us, and we cannot give it up to you." Qiu Lichen planned to salute first and then fight. Although Yang is here now, the martial arts of Palace Master Zhu are unpredictable, so it is better not to do it if you don't do it.
But Mu Xianyang didn't understand his painstaking efforts, he gave the woman a cold look, and snorted through his nostrils, "Li Chen, why are you being polite with her, we got the Millennium Jade Chan first, so naturally we of."
"My lord, don't provoke her, we have already got the jade toad, we should find a way to get out of here first." Leaning in Mu Xianyang's ear, he said softly.
"Well, let's go." Mu Xianyang felt that what he said was reasonable, he stuffed the jade box into his bosom with one hand, and put his arm around Qiu Lichen's waist with the other, and was about to leave.
"If you want to take Yuchan away, don't even think about it!" Zhu Panpan laughed a few times, and was about to fly over to stop him.
"Come on, kill this girl to me." Mu Xianyang yelled, and the guards who were ambushing around appeared immediately, surrounded Zhu Panpan, and he took the opportunity to wrap his arms around Qiu Lichen's waist. As soon as he showed his lightness kung fu, he floated a few feet away.
"Want to run, dream!"
In the blink of an eye, Zhu Panpan had already repelled quite a few guards, and chased after them with his extremely light kung fu.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Qiu Lichen took out a pack of poisonous powder from his bosom and sprinkled it out. The woods covered by the poisonous powder turned black instantly, but he couldn't stop Zhu Panpan.
"She's not even afraid of poison..." Mu Xianyang was stunned, he didn't expect this female devil to be so powerful.
"She is also a master at using poison. We are not her opponents. Let's go." Not daring to turn around, the sound of the wind blowing past his ears brought out a sense of tension, Qiu Lichen couldn't help holding Mu Xianyang's hand tightly.
Zhu Panpan chased closer and closer, and almost caught up several times. Mu Xianyang felt that this was not an option, so he simply turned around and ran back to the swamp.
When the female devil was talking to Li Chen just now, she didn't seem to want to get close to the swamp, and presumably she didn't like the smell of the swamp...
Landing on the boulder again, Zhu Panpan chased after him, but covered his mouth and nose with his hands, with disgust on his face.
"Li Chen, take it, I will fight her." Mu Xianyang hastily stuffed the jade box into his arms, gaining confidence.
Although this woman is powerful, she obviously has a weakness. As long as she grasps this weakness, she will be able to beat her back in one fell swoop!
"Yang, be careful." Before Qiu Lichen could stop him, Mu Xianyang had already flown to fight with Zhu Panpan. He stood aside, his heart beating wildly, and he couldn't help crying out.
After dozens of rounds, the two sides fought inextricably, but it was still obvious that Mu Xianyang was the loser.
But Zhu Yipan had nothing to do with him, as soon as Mu Xianyang saw something was wrong, he would run to the swamp, avoiding several fatal attacks.
"My good boy, how dare you play tricks on my lord. My lord is going to kill me today." Zhu Panpan found himself being played around by Mu Xianyang, and his gloomy eyes suddenly shifted to Qiu Lichen.
"Lichen, you go first, the queen is dead." Mu Xianyang yelled secretly, so he turned around and yelled at Qiu Lichen.
Li Chen doesn't have martial arts, so he can't stop this devil's move at all!
Moreover, this female devil is here for the Millennium Yuchan, if Li Chen stays here, the danger will be even more dangerous.
He has never been so nervous before, and he has never been so confused for anyone. At this moment, he finally understands that Qiu Lichen's name has been deeply engraved in his heart, which cannot be erased...
At this critical moment, he would rather be the one who gets hurt than see Li Chen get hurt!
"Yang..." But Qiu Lilu just stood there in a daze, unable to move a step, holding the jade box, his whole body trembling.
He can't go, Yang is still here, he doesn't want to lose Yang again, the one time has already made him miserable, he can't lose it again...
"Hurry up, do you hear me!" Seeing that he didn't move, Mu Xianyang got angry and roared.
"Okay, I'll go." Suddenly regaining consciousness, Qiu Lichen ran forward like crazy.
What Zhu Panpan wants is the thousand-year-old jade toad. As long as the jade toad is in his hands, Yang will not be in danger.
As long as Yang is fine, that's enough...
"Stop, let's see where you are going!" Zhu Panpan immediately dropped Mu Xianyang and was about to chase after him.
But Mu Xianyang couldn't let her go, he immediately jumped up and grabbed her arm tightly, watching Qiu Lichen's back gradually disappear before his eyes.
He finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Li Chen was safe and his mother was saved, he felt that everything was worth it...
"Go to hell!" Zhu Panpan couldn't break free from his restraint, so he raised his hand and slapped him in anger.
He hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it, but unfortunately he dodged this palm, but he couldn't dodge the next palm. The palm swung by Zhu Panpan was very soft, but very fierce, hitting his lower abdomen forcefully.
"Pfft!" A mouthful of blood spewed out wildly, and there was a huge pain in the lower abdomen. Mu Xianyang only felt that his eyes were blurred, and he felt nothing, and his body kept falling.
"Positive……"
"You... what are you doing back here..." The last look at the shore had exhausted all his strength, and he was speechless.
Seeing that no one was chasing him, Qiu Lichen felt something was wrong, and hurried back, only to see Mu Xianyang fall into the swamp covered in blood, screamed, and jumped down too.
