The ancient life of Fushe's son
In Chapter 1, I feel that the author's writing is not bad.
Convinced, one person said: "How is it possible, there are so many masters in the palace, how capable is this Mu Feiyan to steal these two magical weapons from the palace", the other three also thought it made sense, and nodded in agreement.
Hearing this, Li Muyan understood that it was as he expected, and the news was revealed. Fortunately, he and Hu Wanlou had already discussed the countermeasures, and Hu Wanlou should be able to deal with it.
Mu Feiyan is Hu Wanlou's title in Jianghu, because every time he steals something, he will put a wooden carved swallow in the original place, and he has a body as light as a swallow, so he is called by people in Jianghu. Mu Feiyan, even he himself likes this title very much.
He also heard from that person that the news came from the palace, Li Muyan no longer cared about their conversation, soldiers came to block them, water came to cover them, there was nothing to be afraid of.

8. Sturdy beauty
Jianghu is another wonderful world for him, and later generations describe it wonderfully, so he naturally yearns for it very much.
For a person who died once, it does not mean that he no longer fears death, but cherishes the hard-won second life even more. If he is accidentally involved in it, he will not escape. Live freely.
Not long after, a woman in purple came up from downstairs. This woman was so beautiful that all the men present stared at her obsessively. Li Muyan only glanced at her and then turned his head away. He felt that it was impolite to keep staring at others.
But her appearance is indeed eye-catching, as the old saying goes: as light as floating clouds, as graceful as a dragon.The face is like creamy fat, and the eyes are like spots of paint.The stars and beauties of later generations are nothing compared to it.
Xiao Er took the woman to a table, which was empty just after people left, Xiao Er wiped the table and chairs with the rag on his body, and left after listening to the guests ordering food.
Her black hair fell down her waist like a waterfall, and her cold face was majestic. At first glance, this woman was not easy to provoke her master, but some people who didn't have long eyes leaned forward, that is, the few quack men who talked before, with their Armed with force, he boldly stepped forward, trying to take advantage of the woman in purple.
Li Muyan didn't intend to stand up as a hero to save the beauty, because he was afraid of trouble and didn't want to get involved in disputes.
Second, this woman holds a jade sword in her hand, and her lotus steps are light, even if he doesn't make a move, she can easily deal with it.
Sure enough, as he expected, after only a cup of tea, several big men covered their crotch with their hands, screamed and fell down to beg the woman for mercy, but the woman ignored her and turned around and sat at the empty table beside her.
Li Muyan was a little ashamed, and he clamped his legs slightly when he saw this situation. Qian Hu beside him was even more stunned, as if he had never seen such a sturdy woman.
The etiquette is open to the common people. Noble women do not admire deep boudoirs. They wear men's clothes, ride strong horses, and do not lose to men in archery with machetes. As the saying goes, women do not give in to men. This is especially true for Jianghu women. There is nothing to make a fuss about, Li Muyan thought so.
Li Muyan had already finished his meal, so he took Qian Hu and left this place of right and wrong. Before leaving, he looked at the woman in purple clothes and saw that she seemed to be looking at him too. This sight made his heart beat like a drum, and he quickly turned his head away went upstairs.
Walking out of the restaurant, Li Muyan felt a lot more relaxed. There seemed to be a trace of gunpowder smell left after the firecrackers exploded at the door of the restaurant. He suddenly had a flash of inspiration and remembered the strange smell that he smelled in the Qian Mansion in the morning. Although they did some cover-ups , but you can still vaguely discern the smell of sulfur and saltpeter mixed in it.
Li Muyan thought as he walked, could it be that the Qian Mansion secretly hid gunpowder?
Thinking about it again, my uncle is in charge of military power, so it is normal to use gunpowder.No, if gunpowder is needed, it should be stored in a military and political institution, how could it be your own private house?
A huge shadow hung over Li Muyan's heart. He warned himself not to think too much for now, and went to the heavily guarded warehouse to find out the truth in the evening.
With something on his mind, Li Muyan took Qian Hu back to Qian's house instead of staying on the street.Time passed by every minute and every second, and Li Muyan felt that the time was so long. After eating dinner and waiting for the moon to rise, he changed into darker-colored clothes, jumped up lightly, and came to the warehouse without anyone noticing. roof.
Li Muyan gently lifted a tile and found that there were multiple layers of tiles underneath. Didn't heroes in film and television dramas lift a tile casually to spy on the situation in the house? Li Muyan felt cheated.
It seemed that it was impossible to get into the warehouse from the roof. He stayed on the eaves to visit, and found that there was only one guard in front of the window below. Enter the warehouse.
The dagger in his hand was the one given by Hu Wanlou. Li Muyan only had this sharp weapon all over his body. It was usually strapped to his waist and was rarely used.
The room is very large, half of which are neatly stacked with objects wrapped in kraft paper, and the other half are stored with dozens of bags of garlic, which should be used to cover up the smell of gunpowder. Li Muyan picked up a bag of things and opened it. It was indeed finished. The explosives, these explosives can even be said to flatten the palace.
The Li Dynasty won the world with gunpowder. After the establishment of the dynasty, the control of gunpowder was no different from the control of drugs in later generations. Items that required gunpowder, such as fireworks, were all produced and sold by the government’s special government-owned business organizations. Transactions are recorded.
The imperial court trains a large number of military dogs to distinguish gunpowder every year. Every city has a military dog fighting post. Where does the Qian Mansion come from for a large amount of explosives?
Before he could figure it out, he heard a few thumping sounds outside, and then there was a sound outside the warehouse door, which seemed to be the sound of a lock being unlocked. Li Muyan quickly hid his body in a corner.
A slender woman in night clothes and covering her face came in from the door. She closed the door gently and turned around to look at the objects in front of her.
She turned her back to Li Muyan, and her round buttocks swayed slightly with her movements. Seeing that she was defenseless, Li Muyan quickly moved behind her. In the neck, suddenly felt a heart.
Li Muyan held the woman from behind and said in a low voice, "Don't move..."
Shui Qingrou didn't know who the other party was, since they both came here, they naturally had the same purpose, so she said: "My friend, since we both came here for the same purpose, there is no need to confront each other."
Li Muyan saw that what she said was well-founded, so he planned to let her go. Just as the dagger in his hand was an inch away from his neck, his partner turned around and got away, only to see her turn around and stab him with a small knife.
It was too late, but it was soon, Li Muyan's figure was as fast as lightning in an instant, he circled behind the woman, and pointed at her acupuncture points.
Li Muyan breathed a sigh of relief after fixing the woman in place. The woman's temperament has changed too much. Fortunately, he reacted quickly, otherwise it would be unthinkable.
"Let go of me quickly." Shui Qingrou maintained her forward stabbing posture, her body stiffened. She didn't expect this man's martial arts to be so high. Even though she was under the control of others, she was still very stubborn.
Seeing that she was still unrepentant, Li Muyan went around in front of her, pulled off the mask to see her appearance, Shui Qingrou glared at him even more when she saw his behavior like this.
This person seemed to be the crotch-kicking girl she met during the day. With the faint light, Li Muyan could clearly see the face of the girl in front of her.
Seeing that she was still staring at him, he said to her: "Girl, you have seen this too. There is nothing else but gunpowder. You and I have no grievances or enmities. You don't have to trouble me."
After finishing speaking, he took off an earring on her left ear, quickly opened her acupuncture points, turned around and opened the door and flew out. This series of actions took only a moment, and before Shui Qingrou could react, the other party had already left. One of her earrings was taken away.
Shui Qingrou was so angry that there was smoke in her seven orifices, and she called Li Muyan a "disciple". Even though she was angry, Shui Qingrou knew that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, so she went out and restored the broken lock, and left Qian's mansion.
When Li Muyan returned to his residence, he looked at this small earring with a golden butterfly on it, and the butterfly was inlaid with pearls and jade. Li Muyan seemed to feel that this earring was a little hot in his hand, and secretly scolded himself for being too impulsive.
Hiding the earrings, Li Muyan lay on the bed thinking about the gunpowder in Qian's mansion, what are these gunpowder used for?
Could it be "rebellion!" Thinking of this, Li Muyan suddenly sat up from the bed.
The court is currently preparing for the Empress Dowager's [-]th birthday. On the day of the birthday, all nations will come to court. If someone ignites explosives on the day of the banquet, one can imagine the result.
No, it is impossible for local officials like Qian Xiaohe to participate in the Empress Dowager's [-]th birthday. Only royal family members and nobles like the prince and marquis can participate.
Li Muyan forced himself to be quiet. The matter may not be what he guessed. Even so, it is not something that he, a commoner, can solve. fell asleep.
On the second day, Qian's mansion was still calm. It seems that his operation with the masked woman in the warehouse was not discovered yesterday, Li Muyan thought to himself.

9. Secret investigation
Because Li Muyan couldn't believe what happened yesterday, he planned to stay in Yangzhou for a few more days to investigate secretly.
As far as he knows, gunpowder is generally made of sulfur, saltpeter, and charcoal, and Yizhou is the place where sulfur and saltpeter are produced the most. The gunpowder of Qianfu is very likely to come from Yizhou.
Yizhou is far away from Yangzhou, and it is impossible to take the extremely exposed method of land transportation. It is very likely to take water transportation, and never stop on the way.
There is no project in Yangzhou City that requires a lot of gunpowder, and there is no battle to be fought. The use of the gunpowder is very suspicious.
Li Muyan was in Yangzhou, so he didn't dare to inquire blatantly. After all, this is Qian Xiaohe's territory.
In order to deceive others, Li Muyan didn't bring Qian Hu with him when he went out, and then he would find a place to avoid people to make some disguise, and then went to the riverside pier to find some clues.
In just one day, he got the result from the dock workers. The dock workers have always been tight-lipped about government affairs, but there is no mouth that cannot be pried open by gold and silver.
Li Muyan learned that a cargo ship arrived in Yangzhou a month ago. Because it was an official ship, the workers didn't dare to say anything. There was a smell of gunpowder in the cargo box. It was supposed to be used by the government for some big activities.
If Qian Xiaohe can't attend the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, then the gunpowder is prepared for another person. Although the waterway from Yizhou to Yangzhou is safer, there will also be imperial patrol boats. It is not easy to avoid it completely. Unless Qian Xiaohe used some name to transport the gunpowder.
It is also possible that the raw materials were shipped from other places, not necessarily just Yizhou, but Yizhou is relatively the safest.
Except for the emperor, that is the Xiangguo and the prince. It is more likely that Qian Xiaohe used the name of a certain prince. These princes have their fiefs. Things are not too difficult.
Li Muyan wondered which prince is more likely?
King Qin of Qingzhou, King Li of Jiaozhou, King An of Yongzhou, Li Muyan thinks that King Qin and King Li are more likely. He knows too little, so he can only make some simple guesses. Maybe the facts are far from what he guessed.How on earth did they do it without anyone noticing it?
Li Muyan can't check too much information by himself, and he is not familiar with Yangzhou City, so he knows that these things will be left for the time being, and when the turmoil over Hu Wanlou passes, he will ask him to help with the investigation.
After removing the disguise, Li Muyan came to the restaurant he visited yesterday. It was not yet noon and there were not many people in the restaurant.
As soon as he went up to the second floor, he saw that the seat by the window was taken by someone, "It's her", Li Muyan was a little surprised, he felt that this woman was not a native of Yangzhou, he thought that she might leave Yangzhou after yesterday, but he didn't expect to see her again arrive.
The seat by the window had already been taken, so Li Muyan had no choice but to choose a table next to the stairs, and asked Xiao Er for a pot of tea and two plates of dim sum, and waited for the meal before ordering.
Li Muyan looked at the woman by the window again, and there were several plates of snacks on her table, but they didn't seem to move much.
She changed into a red dress today, which made her skin whiter than fat. She put her elbows on the table and her cheeks with her palms, and looked out the window, as if she was thinking about something.
She didn't wear any earrings on her earlobe, probably there was only one earring, and she couldn't wear it.
Shui Qingrou knew that someone was coming from the second floor, and she also felt that the other person was staring at him. She didn't care. No matter where she went, there would be many eyes staring at him, including shyness, infatuation, desire, jealousy, and disgust. There are all kinds of emotions, such as love, envy, etc., and she can tell them even at a glance.
Turning around, Shui Qingrou looked at that person, who saw that he had turned his head, and stopped looking at her.
The other party turned out to be the young master from yesterday, and he was sitting where she is now. Shui Qingrou thought he was very interesting, because it was the first time she met someone who looked at her without any emotion, as if he was just admiring a scene .
If she thinks it's interesting, it's impossible for Shui Qingrou to provoke others because of this, and instead of looking at that person, Shui Qingrou starts to eat the snack in front of her.
Thinking of Deng Tuzi she met in Qian Mansion yesterday, Shui Qingrou was furious again, if she met him again, she would definitely make his life worse than death.
Not far away, Li Muyan shivered for no reason, "Will someone curse me?", Li Muyan thought to himself.
Not long after, many guests came to the inn one after another, and Li Muyan also ordered some food. After eating and drinking, he planned to go back to the Qian Mansion, but the woman in front of the window had already left, and Li Muyan didn't pay attention.
As soon as he returned to the Qian Mansion, he saw Qian Tongwu, and when he saw Li Muyan greeted him happily, "Oh, cousin, where have you been, I can easily find you." Qian Tongwu was completely different from the cold face before.
"I'm just walking around." Li Muyan guessed that Qian's mansion should feel that it's not appropriate to leave him alone as a guest, so he let Qian Tongwu, an idler, play with him, and perhaps promised him some conditions, otherwise Qian Tongwu would not be happy. Possibly so positive.
"Cousin, take a good rest in the afternoon, and I'll take you to a good place in the evening, and I'm sure you'll be as happy as a fairy," said Qian Tongwu, putting his arms around his shoulders enthusiastically.
Seeing his wretched expression, Li Muyan naturally knew what place he was talking about, it must be some brothel.
"No, I don't like these places very much." After speaking, Buddha put his hands on his shoulders and planned to go back to the guest room for a rest.
Qian Tongwu, who was behind him, felt that Li Muyan was really shameless, and said, "Another big fool."
Li Muyan's ear is excellent, even if the other party's voice is not loud, he can hear these words clearly in his ears.
He turned around, stared at Qian Tongwu, and asked coldly, "What did you just say?"
Qian Tongwu didn't expect that what he said would be heard by the other party. Seeing Li Muyan questioning himself, he felt a little timid. Then he thought, his father is the governor of Yangzhou, and his uncle is just a small businessman. There is no Qian family, and the Li family How could it become prosperous? This Li Muyan still dared to show his face. Thinking of this, he said loudly to Li Muyan: "What are you, you two brothers of the Li family are fools."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Li Muyan coming in front of him, before everyone could react, Qian Tongwu flew upside down, lying on the ground humming, all the boys were terrified at the scene.
Two young servants left to look for his wife and eldest young master, and after a while a group of people hurried over. At this time, Qian Tongwu had been half-supported by the two young servants, still groaning in pain.
The one who came was the aunt Luo Shi, who saw her son being beaten, and said harsh words to Li Mu: "What a Li family boy, you dare to hurt someone. If something happens to my son, I will let you taste it with your life." Hurry up and let a young man go to the doctor.
As soon as she finished saying this, Qian Tongwen also came to the scene. On the way here, he had already heard the story of the ins and outs from the boy, and he heard what his mother said, so he hurriedly smoothed things over, "Mother, when the child came, I heard what Qian Er said. The matter is Tong Wu's words are not condescending, and I will ask my father to come back and decide on this matter."
Li Muyan stood aside without saying a word. He didn't use any internal force when he kicked Qian Tongwu. It hurt a little, but it was only a superficial injury.
The young servants carried Qian Tongwu to his residence. Before Luo Shi left, he gave Li Muyan a hard look. Li Muyan didn't say a word. Seeing that they had all left, he thanked Qian Tongwen who was beside him, and then turned back. guest room.Qian Tongwen sighed behind him.
Back in the guest room, Li Muyan was sitting at the table, drinking tea slowly, thinking in his heart that no matter how this matter was handled, it seemed that he would have to go home tomorrow.
Anyway, there is nothing to do in Yangzhou, and now that he has offended the Qian family, he may as well go back.
About two quarters of an hour later, Li Muyan was invited out by the servant, saying that his uncle had returned.
Qian Xiaohe was in the lobby, and when he saw him coming, he said with shame on his face, "Your son is shameless, and I have made Mu Yan's nephew feel wronged."
Seeing that his attitude was correct, Li Muyan followed his words and said, "Uncle, it was Muyan who was rude, and he shouldn't have shot at my cousin."
"He deserves it, even if you don't beat him, I will still beat him up," Qian Xiaohe said to Mu Yan.
Seeing that the matter was settled, Li Muyan asked Qian Xiaohe to resign, and Qian Xiaohe knew that he had made up his mind to go, so he did not want to keep him anymore.
Later, after the doctor showed it to Qian Tongwu, he only said that it was a skin trauma, and he would be fine after two days of recuperation.
Because he was going home early tomorrow morning, Li Muyan went to see the old man again to say goodbye to him.

10. Molesting
The night was as deep as water, and Shui Qingrou came to Qian's mansion again, this time with a different purpose, after repeated observations, she went straight to Qian Xiaohe's study.
The study was dark and very quiet, Shui Qingrou took out the fire folder and rummaged in front of the study desk, when suddenly there was a sound from outside, and a piece of fire light came in.
It turned out that Shui Qingrou stunned several guards when he visited the warehouse of Qian Mansion last time. This incident aroused Qian Xiaohe's vigilance. He guessed that the thief would definitely visit Qian Mansion again, so he secretly sent more guards to wait for the thief to come to the door.
Shui Qingrou yelled in her heart that it was not good, and jumped out from the door. Seeing the thief coming out, Qian Xiaohe fought with her.
Facing Qian Xiaohe, Shui Qingrou felt powerless, the other party didn't seem to want to put her to death, but wanted to capture her alive.
Qian Xiaohe has been on the battlefield and learned how to kill people. This man came to the mansion again and again to investigate. He probably knows something. He must not be let go. He must be caught and the person behind him must be questioned. who is it?
Deciding to make a final decision with a hammer, Qian Xiao and the fierce palm wind hit Shui Qingrou, Shui Qingrou didn't resist the palm, and hit her chest.She knew in her heart that if she continued to fight, she would be captured alive by Qian Xiaohe.
So he turned around and jumped up to the roof with light work. Qian Xiaohe saw that she was about to escape, and ordered his men to prepare bows and arrows, and shoot her down, regardless of life or death.
The arrows were too dense, and Shui Qingrou was injured again. An arrow hit her shoulder, and she fell off the roof.Qian Xiao and Jian Shui Qingrou fell to the backyard and ordered his men to chase after them.
Li Muyan woke up from his sleep and felt that there was some commotion outside. Seeing that the window in the room was open, he was a little surprised, "I remember closing it."
He just got out of bed and was going to close the window, a small knife lay across his neck, "Don't move", a woman's voice came from behind her.
Although Li Muyan is strong in martial arts, he has been living in a safe environment. His vigilance is really not high, let alone just woke up, and the woman behind him is also good at martial arts. After he woke up, he didn't show the slightest movement. aware.
This situation made Li Muyan think that what he did to a woman the day before yesterday was exactly the same as now. Li Muyan thought to himself that the woman behind him should be the same person as before.
Now is not the time to think wildly, he said calmly: "Women Xia, what can I do for you?"
Shui Qingrou behind her was almost unable to hold on. With internal injuries and external injuries, she might be planted here today. She held on and ordered the person in front of her to close the window first.
Li Muyan closed the window according to what the heroine behind him said, and before waiting for the next instruction from the person behind him, he heard the other party fall down with a plop, and quickly turned around to support the fallen figure.
With the help of the moonlight and his excellent five senses, he saw the arrow on the woman's shoulder, and helped her to the bed to check her injury. He was afraid that the blood that flowed down would reveal his traces.
Pulling out the sword on her body, Li Muyan simply bandaged her with cloth strips. He didn't prepare any wound medicine on him, so he could only do some simple treatment.
The footsteps outside seemed to be getting closer, and Li Muyan heard a knock on the door, only to hear someone shouting: "Master Biao, Master Biao, are you awake?"
Li Muyan pretended to have just woken up, and said to the outside: "What's the matter? I just woke up and heard the noise outside."
"It's nothing, it's just that a thief came in to steal something, and everyone is arresting him, you should rest first, Young Master Biao." Seeing that there was nothing wrong with him, the people outside took them away.
"She was not seriously injured, why is she unconscious?" Li Muyan was a little puzzled, felt the woman's pulse, and found that it was very disordered, probably due to an internal injury.
Li Muyan quickly helped her to sit up, sat cross-legged behind the woman, with his palm against her back, and imitated the way in later generations of film and television dramas to transmit internal force to her and heal internal injuries.He didn't know if this would work, so he had to go to the doctor in a hurry.
About half an hour later, Li Muyan heard that the woman's breath became calm, so he withdrew his internal energy to help her lie down, and touched her pulse again with his hand, it really became regular, it seems that she is fine up.
Shui Qingrou slowly woke up from the coma, and felt that there seemed to be someone beside her. She immediately wanted to stand up and be on guard, but accidentally pulled the wound on her shoulder. She snorted in pain, and only heard the people around her say: "Woman , don’t get excited, I have no ill intentions towards you.”
Only then did Shui Qingrou realize that the arrow wound on her shoulder had been bandaged, and the internal injury suffered was much lighter. It seemed that the other party was a martial arts practitioner. Now that she was injured, if the other party wanted to do something, then It is a piece of cake.
Seeing that the woman didn't move any more, Li Muyan said to her: "Now the Qian Mansion is searching everywhere. Even if you leave here, you will be caught by them in a short while. You might as well stay with me until tomorrow."
Shui Qingrou raised her head to look at Li Muyan, only to realize that it was the rich man she met at the restaurant the day before yesterday, and she asked, "What is your relationship with Qian Xiaohe, and why should I trust you."
Seeing her, Li Muyan was still a little on guard, and said: "Qian Xiaohe is my uncle, I had a conflict with his youngest son today, and I will leave here tomorrow. If you believe me, I will naturally find a way to help you leave Qian's mansion." .”
After hearing what he said, Shui Qingrou temporarily put down her guard against him. Although she didn't know if this person had other purposes, he was her savior after all. Thinking of this, she softly said to Li Muyan: Thank you.
Li Muyan saw that the woman was still able to distinguish right from wrong, and thought to herself: I saved her life today, and she owes me a favor. If she finds out that I was the one who teased her that day, I hope she can remember what happened today. Pursue further.
Now that the bed is occupied by a woman, Li Muyan can only rest on the bed outside.
The tense nerves relaxed, Shui Qingrou found that the mask was still on her face, she thought to herself, could that person really be such a gentleman.
After tossing around in the middle of the night, it was not far from dawn at this time, and Li Muyan couldn't sleep anymore, so he lay on the bed and waited for the golden rooster to announce the dawn.
Because he had to go home today, Li Muyan didn't want to stay in Qian's mansion, and Qian Hu also rushed over early to help Young Master Biao prepare his luggage.
Seeing Qian Hu approaching, Li Muyan winked at Shui Qingrou who was in the dark, Shui Qingrou understood, and quickly came behind Qian Hu and knocked him out.
Li Muyan asked Shui Qingrou to put on Qian Hu's clothes. In order to be more appropriate, Li Muyan put makeup on Shui Qingrou's face to make some disguise.
Looking at the man painting on her face in front of her, Shui Qingrou was a little surprised. She didn't expect him to be able to disguise himself. What is his origin?Shui Qingrou had some doubts in her heart.
The man in front of him was so handsome and so close to him, which made Shui Qingrou feel inexplicable and inexplicable.
"Okay, you're done." Li Muyan looked left and right at Shui Qing, and felt that she was already six to seven points similar to Qian Hu. Qian Hu was probably still young and his figure had not yet grown up. There is not much difference in height between the two, coupled with Li Muyan's wonderful makeup skills, another Qian Hu appeared in front of his eyes.
Li Muyan said to Shui Qingrou: "When we go out later, you'd better keep quiet." Qingrou nodded in agreement.
Before the two went out, Li Muyan put a piece of silver on Qian Hu who was sleeping, and left with Shui Qingrou.
The gate of the Qian Mansion was full of people, except for Luo Shi and Qian Tongwu, everyone in the Qian Mansion came to see Li Muyan off.
Li Muyan lied that he needed to buy some items on the street and needed Qian Hu, and then left with Shui Qingrou who was disguised as Qian Hu.
In this room, Qian Hu, who was only wearing unlined clothes, woke up. Seeing that the young master Biao had disappeared, and he had an extra ingot of silver on him, he hurried back to his residence, changed his clothes, and hid the silver. I didn't meet anyone on the road at that time.
When this happened suddenly, he didn't dare to go out for the time being, and stayed in the house until almost noon before going out.
The acquaintance Qian Er was puzzled when he saw him, and asked him: "Qian Hu, when did you come back?" Qian Hu just faltered and said that he just came back.Qian Er didn't pay much attention to it, he just came back when he finished his business with Master Biao.

11. Talking in the Bamboo Forest
In order to avoid more troubles, Li Muyan asked the coachman to leave Yangzhou City quickly. Although the Qian Mansion was under martial law, there was no movement in Yangzhou City. Qian Xiaohe probably didn't mobilize his teachers because he was afraid that things would become big.
Along the way, the two of them didn't talk again. Although the coachman was not from Qian's mansion, but he sent someone to find him, Li Muyan was still cautious.
Leaving Yangzhou City far away, Li Muyan asked the driver to stop by the roadside, and he and Shui Qingrou walked into the bamboo forest not far away.
It was almost noon at this time, the bamboo forest was dense, the sunlight shone on the ground through the gaps in the bamboo leaves, and the breeze blew through the bamboo leaves, making rustling sounds, and the light and shadow on the ground also appeared mottled.
The two of them, one in front of the other, were silent. Originally, they were just strangers who had met by chance. Although they had some ties to each other now, they were not familiar with each other.
The two of Takeshita stopped in a slightly open place, separated by a few steps, and looked at each other quietly. Li Muyan said first: "Does the girl want to part ways here, or do you want to go home with me?", he There are some jokes in the speech.
Shui Qingrou didn't answer his question immediately, nor ignored his teasing, but asked, "What is your origin?"
Li Muyan replied with a smile, "My name is Li Muyan, but I'm the owner of a small restaurant in Changting County."
, Li Muyan saw her disbelief and did not explain, and asked her: "I don't know the girl's name yet, so where did she come from?"
The woman in front of her lightly parted her red lips and replied, "My name is Shui Qingrou." The voice was melodious, and it was heart-warming to hear, but it was a pity that the person opposite was Li Muyan.
"Shui Qingrou?", Li Muyan said it silently in his heart, the name is so familiar, he seems to have heard it somewhere, suddenly thought of something, Li Muyan asked the woman in surprise, "Are you a member of Heyi?", Shui Qingrou nod.
Li Muyan asked again: "Then you are a member of the Heyi Sect, why did you come to Qian's mansion to investigate?" He really couldn't figure out what the connection between the Jianghu people and the court officials was.
Hearing Li Muyan's question, Shui Qingrou asked back: "How do you know that I'm going to Qian's mansion to investigate?"
, She turned around to think about it again, the man in front of her has been living in the Qian Mansion for the past few days, and has martial arts, she suddenly said: "So it's you, that apprentice", almost affirmative.
Li Muyan saw her suddenly change the subject and said this sentence, knowing that he had accidentally revealed his mouth, he didn't know how to explain it, so he just stayed where he was and didn't dare to answer.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Shui Qingrou knew that she had guessed right, but this Mr. Li saved her life, and Shui Qingrou didn't intend to embarrass him, seeing him stunned, she found it very interesting.
Seeing that the woman had already recognized him, Li Muyan didn't dare to fool her anymore, fearing that she would ask her to blame, so he took out an earring from the small kit on his chest and said, "Miss Qingrou, last time I am being rude, so I will return the things to you, I hope the girl will not be offended."
Seeing his sincere expression, Shui Qingrou was holding the butterfly earring in her hand. She didn't know how to get it, and she suddenly said: "There is only one earring left before, and I have already lost it. You can throw away or sell this earring." Do whatever you want." In fact, she had already put away that earring, and when she said that, Shui Qingrou regretted it a little, and felt a little ashamed in her heart: How could I say that?
Hearing what she said, Li Muyan's outstretched hand stopped in mid-air, so he could only put the earrings back into the small kit and put them on his chest embarrassingly.
Seeing his movements, Shui Qingrou felt a surge of heat for some reason. If it wasn't for the makeup covering her face, the other party might have seen her abnormality.
Seeing that the matter had been wiped out, Li Muyan asked Shui Qingrou the previous question again, and the other party did not hide anything, saying that she had a grudge against King Li Qin Mohan, and found out that King Li had recently had a secret relationship with Qian Xiaohe, the governor of Yangzhou , that's why she came to Yangzhou to investigate.
Li Muyan knew that she must know more than himself, so he asked her: How did Qian Xiaohe get these explosives?
According to Shui Qingrou: The main components of gunpowder are sulfur, saltpeter, and charcoal. These things have other uses. A large collection of ingredients.
The current emperor has always been afraid of King Li and strictly monitored his fief Jiaozhou. Naturally, only part of this batch of raw materials could be transported to Yangzhou.
Qian Xiaohe, the governor of Yangzhou, once fought with him under the command of King Li, so he should be a partisan of King Li. Only the royal family knows that the explosives made by Qian's mansion should be made according to the formula given by King Li.
"Since King Li intends to rebel, can the court be prepared?" Li Muyan asked worriedly after hearing the news from Shui Qingrou's investigation.
Shui Qingrou said: "You don't need to worry about it, I naturally have a way to contact the imperial court, but the Qian family has so much gunpowder in private storage, so the imperial court will not dare to act rashly, lest they jump the wall in a hurry."
Hearing what she said, Li Muyan felt relieved and thought about it carefully, Shui Qingrou belonged to the Heyi Sect and had a close relationship with Wudang, and Wudang was closely connected with the court, so she could naturally pass the news of King Li's rebellion to the court.
Seeing that everything that needs to be said has been said, and it is meaningless to stay here, Shui Qingrou retaliated to Li Muyan and said: "The green mountains will not change, and the green water will always flow. Thank you for saving me this time, and there will be a time later." After finishing speaking, she turned around leave.
Li Muyan stared at the beautiful figure she was leaving, then turned and walked out of the bamboo forest.And Li Muyan didn't know that the next time he saw Shui Qingrou, he would be in a very dramatic situation, making him dumbfounded.
The driver saw that Li Muyan was the only one who came out, and the young man from the Qian Mansion was not there. He was a little surprised, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions, thinking that it was strange that the young man followed him out of Yangzhou City.Li Muyan got into the carriage and said to the driver, "Let's go."
The carriage left the bamboo forest and drove towards the destination, Pingcheng County, Yongzhou.
On the carriage, Li Muyan thought of his performance in the bamboo forest, and just wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in. He felt that when facing this woman, his IQ also dropped.
He asked the woman why she went to Qian's mansion to investigate. There was nothing wrong with this sentence. The other party's later words were just trying to trick him, but he didn't expect him to jump in. He probably thought he was stupid, so he held it in his hands. The message told him.
Remembering that the woman's unwanted earrings were still on him, it was impossible to throw them away, and it was even more impossible to sell them, so it was better to keep them first, in case the man regretted it and wanted to return it.
Li Muyan recalled the conversation with Shui Qingrou, he suddenly remembered the rumor about Yitian Tulong, probably also came from the hands of Li Wang, the purpose is to confuse
Hearing this, Li Muyan understood that it was as he expected, and the news was revealed. Fortunately, he and Hu Wanlou had already discussed the countermeasures, and Hu Wanlou should be able to deal with it.
Mu Feiyan is Hu Wanlou's title in Jianghu, because every time he steals something, he will put a wooden carved swallow in the original place, and he has a body as light as a swallow, so he is called by people in Jianghu. Mu Feiyan, even he himself likes this title very much.
He also heard from that person that the news came from the palace, Li Muyan no longer cared about their conversation, soldiers came to block them, water came to cover them, there was nothing to be afraid of.

8. Sturdy beauty
Jianghu is another wonderful world for him, and later generations describe it wonderfully, so he naturally yearns for it very much.
For a person who died once, it does not mean that he no longer fears death, but cherishes the hard-won second life even more. If he is accidentally involved in it, he will not escape. Live freely.
Not long after, a woman in purple came up from downstairs. This woman was so beautiful that all the men present stared at her obsessively. Li Muyan only glanced at her and then turned his head away. He felt that it was impolite to keep staring at others.
But her appearance is indeed eye-catching, as the old saying goes: as light as floating clouds, as graceful as a dragon.The face is like creamy fat, and the eyes are like spots of paint.The stars and beauties of later generations are nothing compared to it.
Xiao Er took the woman to a table, which was empty just after people left, Xiao Er wiped the table and chairs with the rag on his body, and left after listening to the guests ordering food.
Her black hair fell down her waist like a waterfall, and her cold face was majestic. At first glance, this woman was not easy to provoke her master, but some people who didn't have long eyes leaned forward, that is, the few quack men who talked before, with their Armed with force, he boldly stepped forward, trying to take advantage of the woman in purple.
Li Muyan didn't intend to stand up as a hero to save the beauty, because he was afraid of trouble and didn't want to get involved in disputes.
Second, this woman holds a jade sword in her hand, and her lotus steps are light, even if he doesn't make a move, she can easily deal with it.
Sure enough, as he expected, after only a cup of tea, several big men covered their crotch with their hands, screamed and fell down to beg the woman for mercy, but the woman ignored her and turned around and sat at the empty table beside her.
Li Muyan was a little ashamed, and he clamped his legs slightly when he saw this situation. Qian Hu beside him was even more stunned, as if he had never seen such a sturdy woman.
The etiquette is open to the common people. Noble women do not admire deep boudoirs. They wear men's clothes, ride strong horses, and do not lose to men in archery with machetes. As the saying goes, women do not give in to men. This is especially true for Jianghu women. There is nothing to make a fuss about, Li Muyan thought so.
Li Muyan had already finished his meal, so he took Qian Hu and left this place of right and wrong. Before leaving, he looked at the woman in purple clothes and saw that she seemed to be looking at him too. This sight made his heart beat like a drum, and he quickly turned his head away went upstairs.
Walking out of the restaurant, Li Muyan felt a lot more relaxed. There seemed to be a trace of gunpowder smell left after the firecrackers exploded at the door of the restaurant. He suddenly had a flash of inspiration and remembered the strange smell that he smelled in the Qian Mansion in the morning. Although they did some cover-ups , but you can still vaguely discern the smell of sulfur and saltpeter mixed in it.
Li Muyan thought as he walked, could it be that the Qian Mansion secretly hid gunpowder?
Thinking about it again, my uncle is in charge of military power, so it is normal to use gunpowder.No, if gunpowder is needed, it should be stored in a military and political institution, how could it be your own private house?
A huge shadow hung over Li Muyan's heart. He warned himself not to think too much for now, and went to the heavily guarded warehouse to find out the truth in the evening.
With something on his mind, Li Muyan took Qian Hu back to Qian's house instead of staying on the street.Time passed by every minute and every second, and Li Muyan felt that the time was so long. After eating dinner and waiting for the moon to rise, he changed into darker-colored clothes, jumped up lightly, and came to the warehouse without anyone noticing. roof.
Li Muyan gently lifted a tile and found that there were multiple layers of tiles underneath. Didn't heroes in film and television dramas lift a tile casually to spy on the situation in the house? Li Muyan felt cheated.
It seemed that it was impossible to get into the warehouse from the roof. He stayed on the eaves to visit, and found that there was only one guard in front of the window below. Enter the warehouse.
The dagger in his hand was the one given by Hu Wanlou. Li Muyan only had this sharp weapon all over his body. It was usually strapped to his waist and was rarely used.
The room is very large, half of which are neatly stacked with objects wrapped in kraft paper, and the other half are stored with dozens of bags of garlic, which should be used to cover up the smell of gunpowder. Li Muyan picked up a bag of things and opened it. It was indeed finished. The explosives, these explosives can even be said to flatten the palace.
The Li Dynasty won the world with gunpowder. After the establishment of the dynasty, the control of gunpowder was no different from the control of drugs in later generations. Items that required gunpowder, such as fireworks, were all produced and sold by the government’s special government-owned business organizations. Transactions are recorded.
The imperial court trains a large number of military dogs to distinguish gunpowder every year. Every city has a military dog fighting post. Where does the Qian Mansion come from for a large amount of explosives?
Before he could figure it out, he heard a few thumping sounds outside, and then there was a sound outside the warehouse door, which seemed to be the sound of a lock being unlocked. Li Muyan quickly hid his body in a corner.
A slender woman in night clothes and covering her face came in from the door. She closed the door gently and turned around to look at the objects in front of her.
She turned her back to Li Muyan, and her round buttocks swayed slightly with her movements. Seeing that she was defenseless, Li Muyan quickly moved behind her. In the neck, suddenly felt a heart.
Li Muyan held the woman from behind and said in a low voice, "Don't move..."
Shui Qingrou didn't know who the other party was, since they both came here, they naturally had the same purpose, so she said: "My friend, since we both came here for the same purpose, there is no need to confront each other."
Li Muyan saw that what she said was well-founded, so he planned to let her go. Just as the dagger in his hand was an inch away from his neck, his partner turned around and got away, only to see her turn around and stab him with a small knife.
It was too late, but it was soon, Li Muyan's figure was as fast as lightning in an instant, he circled behind the woman, and pointed at her acupuncture points.
Li Muyan breathed a sigh of relief after fixing the woman in place. The woman's temperament has changed too much. Fortunately, he reacted quickly, otherwise it would be unthinkable.
"Let go of me quickly." Shui Qingrou maintained her forward stabbing posture, her body stiffened. She didn't expect this man's martial arts to be so high. Even though she was under the control of others, she was still very stubborn.
Seeing that she was still unrepentant, Li Muyan went around in front of her, pulled off the mask to see her appearance, Shui Qingrou glared at him even more when she saw his behavior like this.
This person seemed to be the crotch-kicking girl she met during the day. With the faint light, Li Muyan could clearly see the face of the girl in front of her.
Seeing that she was still staring at him, he said to her: "Girl, you have seen this too. There is nothing else but gunpowder. You and I have no grievances or enmities. You don't have to trouble me."
After finishing speaking, he took off an earring on her left ear, quickly opened her acupuncture points, turned around and opened the door and flew out. This series of actions took only a moment, and before Shui Qingrou could react, the other party had already left. One of her earrings was taken away.
Shui Qingrou was so angry that there was smoke in her seven orifices, and she called Li Muyan a "disciple". Even though she was angry, Shui Qingrou knew that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, so she went out and restored the broken lock, and left Qian's mansion.
When Li Muyan returned to his residence, he looked at this small earring with a golden butterfly on it, and the butterfly was inlaid with pearls and jade. Li Muyan seemed to feel that this earring was a little hot in his hand, and secretly scolded himself for being too impulsive.
Hiding the earrings, Li Muyan lay on the bed thinking about the gunpowder in Qian's mansion, what are these gunpowder used for?
Could it be "rebellion!" Thinking of this, Li Muyan suddenly sat up from the bed.
The court is currently preparing for the Empress Dowager's [-]th birthday. On the day of the birthday, all nations will come to court. If someone ignites explosives on the day of the banquet, one can imagine the result.
No, it is impossible for local officials like Qian Xiaohe to participate in the Empress Dowager's [-]th birthday. Only royal family members and nobles like the prince and marquis can participate.
Li Muyan forced himself to be quiet. The matter may not be what he guessed. Even so, it is not something that he, a commoner, can solve. fell asleep.
On the second day, Qian's mansion was still calm. It seems that his operation with the masked woman in the warehouse was not discovered yesterday, Li Muyan thought to himself.

9. Secret investigation
Because Li Muyan couldn't believe what happened yesterday, he planned to stay in Yangzhou for a few more days to investigate secretly.
As far as he knows, gunpowder is generally made of sulfur, saltpeter, and charcoal, and Yizhou is the place where sulfur and saltpeter are produced the most. The gunpowder of Qianfu is very likely to come from Yizhou.
Yizhou is far away from Yangzhou, and it is impossible to take the extremely exposed method of land transportation. It is very likely to take water transportation, and never stop on the way.
There is no project in Yangzhou City that requires a lot of gunpowder, and there is no battle to be fought. The use of the gunpowder is very suspicious.
Li Muyan was in Yangzhou, so he didn't dare to inquire blatantly. After all, this is Qian Xiaohe's territory.
In order to deceive others, Li Muyan didn't bring Qian Hu with him when he went out, and then he would find a place to avoid people to make some disguise, and then went to the riverside pier to find some clues.
In just one day, he got the result from the dock workers. The dock workers have always been tight-lipped about government affairs, but there is no mouth that cannot be pried open by gold and silver.
Li Muyan learned that a cargo ship arrived in Yangzhou a month ago. Because it was an official ship, the workers didn't dare to say anything. There was a smell of gunpowder in the cargo box. It was supposed to be used by the government for some big activities.
If Qian Xiaohe can't attend the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, then the gunpowder is prepared for another person. Although the waterway from Yizhou to Yangzhou is safer, there will also be imperial patrol boats. It is not easy to avoid it completely. Unless Qian Xiaohe used some name to transport the gunpowder.
It is also possible that the raw materials were shipped from other places, not necessarily just Yizhou, but Yizhou is relatively the safest.
Except for the emperor, that is the Xiangguo and the prince. It is more likely that Qian Xiaohe used the name of a certain prince. These princes have their fiefs. Things are not too difficult.
Li Muyan wondered which prince is more likely?
King Qin of Qingzhou, King Li of Jiaozhou, King An of Yongzhou, Li Muyan thinks that King Qin and King Li are more likely. He knows too little, so he can only make some simple guesses. Maybe the facts are far from what he guessed.How on earth did they do it without anyone noticing it?
Li Muyan can't check too much information by himself, and he is not familiar with Yangzhou City, so he knows that these things will be left for the time being, and when the turmoil over Hu Wanlou passes, he will ask him to help with the investigation.
After removing the disguise, Li Muyan came to the restaurant he visited yesterday. It was not yet noon and there were not many people in the restaurant.
As soon as he went up to the second floor, he saw that the seat by the window was taken by someone, "It's her", Li Muyan was a little surprised, he felt that this woman was not a native of Yangzhou, he thought that she might leave Yangzhou after yesterday, but he didn't expect to see her again arrive.
The seat by the window had already been taken, so Li Muyan had no choice but to choose a table next to the stairs, and asked Xiao Er for a pot of tea and two plates of dim sum, and waited for the meal before ordering.
Li Muyan looked at the woman by the window again, and there were several plates of snacks on her table, but they didn't seem to move much.
She changed into a red dress today, which made her skin whiter than fat. She put her elbows on the table and her cheeks with her palms, and looked out the window, as if she was thinking about something.
She didn't wear any earrings on her earlobe, probably there was only one earring, and she couldn't wear it.
Shui Qingrou knew that someone was coming from the second floor, and she also felt that the other person was staring at him. She didn't care. No matter where she went, there would be many eyes staring at him, including shyness, infatuation, desire, jealousy, and disgust. There are all kinds of emotions, such as love, envy, etc., and she can tell them even at a glance.
Turning around, Shui Qingrou looked at that person, who saw that he had turned his head, and stopped looking at her.
The other party turned out to be the young master from yesterday, and he was sitting where she is now. Shui Qingrou thought he was very interesting, because it was the first time she met someone who looked at her without any emotion, as if he was just admiring a scene .
If she thinks it's interesting, it's impossible for Shui Qingrou to provoke others because of this, and instead of looking at that person, Shui Qingrou starts to eat the snack in front of her.
Thinking of Deng Tuzi she met in Qian Mansion yesterday, Shui Qingrou was furious again, if she met him again, she would definitely make his life worse than death.
Not far away, Li Muyan shivered for no reason, "Will someone curse me?", Li Muyan thought to himself.
Not long after, many guests came to the inn one after another, and Li Muyan also ordered some food. After eating and drinking, he planned to go back to the Qian Mansion, but the woman in front of the window had already left, and Li Muyan didn't pay attention.
As soon as he returned to the Qian Mansion, he saw Qian Tongwu, and when he saw Li Muyan greeted him happily, "Oh, cousin, where have you been, I can easily find you." Qian Tongwu was completely different from the cold face before.
"I'm just walking around." Li Muyan guessed that Qian's mansion should feel that it's not appropriate to leave him alone as a guest, so he let Qian Tongwu, an idler, play with him, and perhaps promised him some conditions, otherwise Qian Tongwu would not be happy. Possibly so positive.
"Cousin, take a good rest in the afternoon, and I'll take you to a good place in the evening, and I'm sure you'll be as happy as a fairy," said Qian Tongwu, putting his arms around his shoulders enthusiastically.
Seeing his wretched expression, Li Muyan naturally knew what place he was talking about, it must be some brothel.
"No, I don't like these places very much." After speaking, Buddha put his hands on his shoulders and planned to go back to the guest room for a rest.
Qian Tongwu, who was behind him, felt that Li Muyan was really shameless, and said, "Another big fool."
Li Muyan's ear is excellent, even if the other party's voice is not loud, he can hear these words clearly in his ears.
He turned around, stared at Qian Tongwu, and asked coldly, "What did you just say?"
Qian Tongwu didn't expect that what he said would be heard by the other party. Seeing Li Muyan questioning himself, he felt a little timid. Then he thought, his father is the governor of Yangzhou, and his uncle is just a small businessman. There is no Qian family, and the Li family How could it become prosperous? This Li Muyan still dared to show his face. Thinking of this, he said loudly to Li Muyan: "What are you, you two brothers of the Li family are fools."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Li Muyan coming in front of him, before everyone could react, Qian Tongwu flew upside down, lying on the ground humming, all the boys were terrified at the scene.
Two young servants left to look for his wife and eldest young master, and after a while a group of people hurried over. At this time, Qian Tongwu had been half-supported by the two young servants, still groaning in pain.
The one who came was the aunt Luo Shi, who saw her son being beaten, and said harsh words to Li Mu: "What a Li family boy, you dare to hurt someone. If something happens to my son, I will let you taste it with your life." Hurry up and let a young man go to the doctor.
As soon as she finished saying this, Qian Tongwen also came to the scene. On the way here, he had already heard the story of the ins and outs from the boy, and he heard what his mother said, so he hurriedly smoothed things over, "Mother, when the child came, I heard what Qian Er said. The matter is Tong Wu's words are not condescending, and I will ask my father to come back and decide on this matter."
Li Muyan stood aside without saying a word. He didn't use any internal force when he kicked Qian Tongwu. It hurt a little, but it was only a superficial injury.
The young servants carried Qian Tongwu to his residence. Before Luo Shi left, he gave Li Muyan a hard look. Li Muyan didn't say a word. Seeing that they had all left, he thanked Qian Tongwen who was beside him, and then turned back. guest room.Qian Tongwen sighed behind him.
Back in the guest room, Li Muyan was sitting at the table, drinking tea slowly, thinking in his heart that no matter how this matter was handled, it seemed that he would have to go home tomorrow.
Anyway, there is nothing to do in Yangzhou, and now that he has offended the Qian family, he may as well go back.
About two quarters of an hour later, Li Muyan was invited out by the servant, saying that his uncle had returned.
Qian Xiaohe was in the lobby, and when he saw him coming, he said with shame on his face, "Your son is shameless, and I have made Mu Yan's nephew feel wronged."
Seeing that his attitude was correct, Li Muyan followed his words and said, "Uncle, it was Muyan who was rude, and he shouldn't have shot at my cousin."
"He deserves it, even if you don't beat him, I will still beat him up," Qian Xiaohe said to Mu Yan.
Seeing that the matter was settled, Li Muyan asked Qian Xiaohe to resign, and Qian Xiaohe knew that he had made up his mind to go, so he did not want to keep him anymore.
Later, after the doctor showed it to Qian Tongwu, he only said that it was a skin trauma, and he would be fine after two days of recuperation.
Because he was going home early tomorrow morning, Li Muyan went to see the old man again to say goodbye to him.

10. Molesting
The night was as deep as water, and Shui Qingrou came to Qian's mansion again, this time with a different purpose, after repeated observations, she went straight to Qian Xiaohe's study.
The study was dark and very quiet, Shui Qingrou took out the fire folder and rummaged in front of the study desk, when suddenly there was a sound from outside, and a piece of fire light came in.
It turned out that Shui Qingrou stunned several guards when he visited the warehouse of Qian Mansion last time. This incident aroused Qian Xiaohe's vigilance. He guessed that the thief would definitely visit Qian Mansion again, so he secretly sent more guards to wait for the thief to come to the door.
Shui Qingrou yelled in her heart that it was not good, and jumped out from the door. Seeing the thief coming out, Qian Xiaohe fought with her.
Facing Qian Xiaohe, Shui Qingrou felt powerless, the other party didn't seem to want to put her to death, but wanted to capture her alive.
Qian Xiaohe has been on the battlefield and learned how to kill people. This man came to the mansion again and again to investigate. He probably knows something. He must not be let go. He must be caught and the person behind him must be questioned. who is it?
Deciding to make a final decision with a hammer, Qian Xiao and the fierce palm wind hit Shui Qingrou, Shui Qingrou didn't resist the palm, and hit her chest.She knew in her heart that if she continued to fight, she would be captured alive by Qian Xiaohe.
So he turned around and jumped up to the roof with light work. Qian Xiaohe saw that she was about to escape, and ordered his men to prepare bows and arrows, and shoot her down, regardless of life or death.
The arrows were too dense, and Shui Qingrou was injured again. An arrow hit her shoulder, and she fell off the roof.Qian Xiao and Jian Shui Qingrou fell to the backyard and ordered his men to chase after them.
Li Muyan woke up from his sleep and felt that there was some commotion outside. Seeing that the window in the room was open, he was a little surprised, "I remember closing it."
He just got out of bed and was going to close the window, a small knife lay across his neck, "Don't move", a woman's voice came from behind her.
Although Li Muyan is strong in martial arts, he has been living in a safe environment. His vigilance is really not high, let alone just woke up, and the woman behind him is also good at martial arts. After he woke up, he didn't show the slightest movement. aware.
This situation made Li Muyan think that what he did to a woman the day before yesterday was exactly the same as now. Li Muyan thought to himself that the woman behind him should be the same person as before.
Now is not the time to think wildly, he said calmly: "Women Xia, what can I do for you?"
Shui Qingrou behind her was almost unable to hold on. With internal injuries and external injuries, she might be planted here today. She held on and ordered the person in front of her to close the window first.
Li Muyan closed the window according to what the heroine behind him said, and before waiting for the next instruction from the person behind him, he heard the other party fall down with a plop, and quickly turned around to support the fallen figure.
With the help of the moonlight and his excellent five senses, he saw the arrow on the woman's shoulder, and helped her to the bed to check her injury. He was afraid that the blood that flowed down would reveal his traces.
Pulling out the sword on her body, Li Muyan simply bandaged her with cloth strips. He didn't prepare any wound medicine on him, so he could only do some simple treatment.
The footsteps outside seemed to be getting closer, and Li Muyan heard a knock on the door, only to hear someone shouting: "Master Biao, Master Biao, are you awake?"
Li Muyan pretended to have just woken up, and said to the outside: "What's the matter? I just woke up and heard the noise outside."
"It's nothing, it's just that a thief came in to steal something, and everyone is arresting him, you should rest first, Young Master Biao." Seeing that there was nothing wrong with him, the people outside took them away.
"She was not seriously injured, why is she unconscious?" Li Muyan was a little puzzled, felt the woman's pulse, and found that it was very disordered, probably due to an internal injury.
Li Muyan quickly helped her to sit up, sat cross-legged behind the woman, with his palm against her back, and imitated the way in later generations of film and television dramas to transmit internal force to her and heal internal injuries.He didn't know if this would work, so he had to go to the doctor in a hurry.
About half an hour later, Li Muyan heard that the woman's breath became calm, so he withdrew his internal energy to help her lie down, and touched her pulse again with his hand, it really became regular, it seems that she is fine up.
Shui Qingrou slowly woke up from the coma, and felt that there seemed to be someone beside her. She immediately wanted to stand up and be on guard, but accidentally pulled the wound on her shoulder. She snorted in pain, and only heard the people around her say: "Woman , don’t get excited, I have no ill intentions towards you.”
Only then did Shui Qingrou realize that the arrow wound on her shoulder had been bandaged, and the internal injury suffered was much lighter. It seemed that the other party was a martial arts practitioner. Now that she was injured, if the other party wanted to do something, then It is a piece of cake.
Seeing that the woman didn't move any more, Li Muyan said to her: "Now the Qian Mansion is searching everywhere. Even if you leave here, you will be caught by them in a short while. You might as well stay with me until tomorrow."
Shui Qingrou raised her head to look at Li Muyan, only to realize that it was the rich man she met at the restaurant the day before yesterday, and she asked, "What is your relationship with Qian Xiaohe, and why should I trust you."
Seeing her, Li Muyan was still a little on guard, and said: "Qian Xiaohe is my uncle, I had a conflict with his youngest son today, and I will leave here tomorrow. If you believe me, I will naturally find a way to help you leave Qian's mansion." .”
After hearing what he said, Shui Qingrou temporarily put down her guard against him. Although she didn't know if this person had other purposes, he was her savior after all. Thinking of this, she softly said to Li Muyan: Thank you.
Li Muyan saw that the woman was still able to distinguish right from wrong, and thought to herself: I saved her life today, and she owes me a favor. If she finds out that I was the one who teased her that day, I hope she can remember what happened today. Pursue further.
Now that the bed is occupied by a woman, Li Muyan can only rest on the bed outside.
The tense nerves relaxed, Shui Qingrou found that the mask was still on her face, she thought to herself, could that person really be such a gentleman.
After tossing around in the middle of the night, it was not far from dawn at this time, and Li Muyan couldn't sleep anymore, so he lay on the bed and waited for the golden rooster to announce the dawn.
Because he had to go home today, Li Muyan didn't want to stay in Qian's mansion, and Qian Hu also rushed over early to help Young Master Biao prepare his luggage.
Seeing Qian Hu approaching, Li Muyan winked at Shui Qingrou who was in the dark, Shui Qingrou understood, and quickly came behind Qian Hu and knocked him out.
Li Muyan asked Shui Qingrou to put on Qian Hu's clothes. In order to be more appropriate, Li Muyan put makeup on Shui Qingrou's face to make some disguise.
Looking at the man painting on her face in front of her, Shui Qingrou was a little surprised. She didn't expect him to be able to disguise himself. What is his origin?Shui Qingrou had some doubts in her heart.
The man in front of him was so handsome and so close to him, which made Shui Qingrou feel inexplicable and inexplicable.
"Okay, you're done." Li Muyan looked left and right at Shui Qing, and felt that she was already six to seven points similar to Qian Hu. Qian Hu was probably still young and his figure had not yet grown up. There is not much difference in height between the two, coupled with Li Muyan's wonderful makeup skills, another Qian Hu appeared in front of his eyes.
Li Muyan said to Shui Qingrou: "When we go out later, you'd better keep quiet." Qingrou nodded in agreement.
Before the two went out, Li Muyan put a piece of silver on Qian Hu who was sleeping, and left with Shui Qingrou.
The gate of the Qian Mansion was full of people, except for Luo Shi and Qian Tongwu, everyone in the Qian Mansion came to see Li Muyan off.
Li Muyan lied that he needed to buy some items on the street and needed Qian Hu, and then left with Shui Qingrou who was disguised as Qian Hu.
In this room, Qian Hu, who was only wearing unlined clothes, woke up. Seeing that the young master Biao had disappeared, and he had an extra ingot of silver on him, he hurried back to his residence, changed his clothes, and hid the silver. I didn't meet anyone on the road at that time.
When this happened suddenly, he didn't dare to go out for the time being, and stayed in the house until almost noon before going out.

11. Talking in the Bamboo Forest
In order to avoid more troubles, Li Muyan asked the coachman to leave Yangzhou City quickly. Although the Qian Mansion was under martial law, there was no movement in Yangzhou City. Qian Xiaohe probably didn't mobilize his teachers because he was afraid that things would become big.
Along the way, the two of them didn't talk again. Although the coachman was not from Qian's mansion, but he sent someone to find him, Li Muyan was still cautious.
Leaving Yangzhou City far away, Li Muyan asked the driver to stop by the roadside, and he and Shui Qingrou walked into the bamboo forest not far away.
It was almost noon at this time, the bamboo forest was dense, the sunlight shone on the ground through the gaps in the bamboo leaves, and the breeze blew through the bamboo leaves, making rustling sounds, and the light and shadow on the ground also appeared mottled.
The two of them, one in front of the other, were silent. Originally, they were just strangers who had met by chance. Although they had some ties to each other now, they were not familiar with each other.
The two of Takeshita stopped in a slightly open place, separated by a few steps, and looked at each other quietly. Li Muyan said first: "Does the girl want to part ways here, or do you want to go home with me?", he There are some jokes in the speech.
Shui Qingrou didn't answer his question immediately, nor ignored his teasing, but asked, "What is your origin?"
Li Muyan replied with a smile, "My name is Li Muyan, but I'm the owner of a small restaurant in Changting County."
, Li Muyan saw her disbelief and did not explain, and asked her: "I don't know the girl's name yet, so where did she come from?"
The woman in front of her lightly parted her red lips and replied, "My name is Shui Qingrou." The voice was melodious, and it was heart-warming to hear, but it was a pity that the person opposite was Li Muyan.
"Shui Qingrou?", Li Muyan said it silently in his heart, the name is so familiar, he seems to have heard it somewhere, suddenly thought of something, Li Muyan asked the woman in surprise, "Are you a member of Heyi?", Shui Qingrou nod.
Li Muyan asked again: "Then you are a member of the Heyi Sect, why did you come to Qian's mansion to investigate?" He really couldn't figure out what the connection between the Jianghu people and the court officials was.
Hearing Li Muyan's question, Shui Qingrou asked back: "How do you know that I'm going to Qian's mansion to investigate?"
, She turned around to think about it again, the man in front of her has been living in the Qian Mansion for the past few days, and has martial arts, she suddenly said: "So it's you, that apprentice", almost affirmative.
Li Muyan saw her suddenly change the subject and said this sentence, knowing that he had accidentally revealed his mouth, he didn't know how to explain it, so he just stayed where he was and didn't dare to answer.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Shui Qingrou knew that she had guessed right, but this Mr. Li saved her life, and Shui Qingrou didn't intend to embarrass him, seeing him stunned, she found it very interesting.
Seeing that the woman had already recognized him, Li Muyan didn't dare to fool her anymore, fearing that she would ask her to blame, so he took out an earring from the small kit on his chest and said, "Miss Qingrou, last time I am being rude, so I will return the things to you, I hope the girl will not be offended."
Seeing his sincere expression, Shui Qingrou was holding the butterfly earring in her hand. She didn't know how to get it, and she suddenly said: "There is only one earring left before, and I have already lost it. You can throw away or sell this earring." Do whatever you want." In fact, she had already put away that earring, and when she said that, Shui Qingrou regretted it a little, and felt a little ashamed in her heart: How could I say that?
Hearing what she said, Li Muyan's outstretched hand stopped in mid-air, so he could only put the earrings back into the small kit and put them on his chest embarrassingly.
Seeing his movements, Shui Qingrou felt a surge of heat for some reason. If it wasn't for the makeup covering her face, the other party might have seen her abnormality.
Seeing that the matter had been wiped out, Li Muyan asked Shui Qingrou the previous question again, and the other party did not hide anything, saying that she had a grudge against King Li Qin Mohan, and found out that King Li had recently had a secret relationship with Qian Xiaohe, the governor of Yangzhou , that's why she came to Yangzhou to investigate.
Li Muyan knew that she must know more than himself, so he asked her: How did Qian Xiaohe get these explosives?
According to Shui Qingrou: The main components of gunpowder are sulfur, saltpeter, and charcoal. These things have other uses. A large collection of ingredients.
The current emperor has always been afraid of King Li and strictly monitored his fief Jiaozhou. Naturally, only part of this batch of raw materials could be transported to Yangzhou.
Qian Xiaohe, the governor of Yangzhou, once fought with him under the command of King Li, so he should be a partisan of King Li. Only the royal family knows that the explosives made by Qian's mansion should be made according to the formula given by King Li.
"Since King Li intends to rebel, can the court be prepared?" Li Muyan asked worriedly after hearing the news from Shui Qingrou's investigation.
Shui Qingrou said: "You don't need to worry about it, I naturally have a way to contact the imperial court, but the Qian family has so much gunpowder in private storage, so the imperial court will not dare to act rashly, lest they jump the wall in a hurry."
Hearing what she said, Li Muyan felt relieved and thought about it carefully, Shui Qingrou belonged to the Heyi Sect and had a close relationship with Wudang, and Wudang was closely connected with the court, so she could naturally pass the news of King Li's rebellion to the court.
Seeing that everything that needs to be said has been said, and it is meaningless to stay here, Shui Qingrou retaliated to Li Muyan and said: "The green mountains will not change, and the green water will always flow. Thank you for saving me this time, and there will be a time later." After finishing speaking, she turned around leave.
Li Muyan stared at the beautiful figure she was leaving, then turned and walked out of the bamboo forest.And Li Muyan didn't know that the next time he saw Shui Qingrou, he would be in a very dramatic situation, making him dumbfounded.
The driver saw that Li Muyan was the only one who came out, and the young man from the Qian Mansion was not there. He was a little surprised, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions, thinking that it was strange that the young man followed him out of Yangzhou City.Li Muyan got into the carriage and said to the driver, "Let's go."
The carriage left the bamboo forest and drove towards the destination, Pingcheng County, Yongzhou.
On the carriage, Li Muyan thought of his performance in the bamboo forest, and just wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in. He felt that when facing this woman, his IQ also dropped.
He asked the woman why she went to Qian's mansion to investigate. There was nothing wrong with this sentence. The other party's later words were just trying to trick him, but he didn't expect him to jump in. He probably thought he was stupid, so he held it in his hands. The message told him.
Remembering that the woman's unwanted earrings were still on him, it was impossible to throw them away, and it was even more impossible to sell them, so it was better to keep them first, in case the man regretted it and wanted to return it.
Li Muyan recalled the conversation with Shui Qingrou, he suddenly remembered the rumor about Yitian Tulong, probably also came from the hands of Li Wang, the purpose is to confuse
