53, Usurper General vs Qing Gui Gongzi 31(1/2)
Before Yan Xiao and Lin Xunyi could reach any conclusion from their discussion, Bai Mu was assassinated first.
Fortunately, the defense of Wu'anhou Mansion was sufficient, and the assassin was captured as soon as he reached Bai Mu.
Bai Mu didn't suffer any serious injuries, but the assassin saw that the situation was not good. He threw out a dagger and grazed his arm. His sleeves were scratched and some oily skin was rubbed off. In other words, his summer clothes were light and thin, and if he wore them any more,
It's thicker, not even a little bit oily.
But this incident made Yan Xiao furious. Everyone on duty that day was given a beating with a military stick, and the palace was completely cleared.
Over there, Bai Mu only glanced at the assassin briefly, but he was thoughtful.
He told the system: "I think he feels a little familiar to me..."
His eyes were dull, and he didn't show any reaction when he was caught. He looked like one of the gang of dead soldiers raised by Li Tanyi.
He couldn't help but sigh: Sure enough, the cub has grown up...
They all started thinking of ways to kill his father.
Thinking about it this way, Emperor Jin's death seems a bit scary.
The consequence of this incident was that for safety reasons, Bai Mu temporarily moved away from the Wu'an Hou Mansion.
It’s not too far away, just on the outskirts of Beijing.
Rich and powerful people in the capital don't have several villas on the outskirts of the capital. Sometimes they don't want to be known by others, or they may be listed under the names of relatives, or under the names of household servants... In short, the relationships inside are twists and turns.
It's hard to figure it out clearly.
When Bai Mu was secretly sent away, he felt like a shameless little lover.
As he walked, he suddenly realized: He thought Zai'er had grown up and wanted to kill his old father... But looking at it now, could it be a love killing?
So, the relationship between these two people is finally on the right track?
Bai Mu caressed the brand new jade pendant in his hand, feeling very comforted.
——His previous jade pendant has long since disappeared.
However, the role of the mission props had also expired. Bai Mu thought about it but didn't take it to heart anymore.
The side hall at the corner of the palace.
Li Tanyi was playing with a purse in his hand.
There was a person kneeling under the seat, but it was not Eunuch Cui who was sent to serve Li Tanyi.
This person's appearance is extremely ordinary, as if he has no features, making people forget him once he sees him.
The man reported: "Chen Yi missed it, Master Pei has been sent away."
Li Tanyi said "hmm" carelessly, making it almost impossible to tell whether he was talking to himself unconsciously or responding.
Even though he wasn't called out, the man still bowed his head and obeyed the instructions.
After a long while, Li Tanyi said: "Just follow him from now on. There is no need to come."
If you are an ordinary subordinate and a slave, if you hear an order that sounds like a change of master or a person who is about to be killed, you will have to ask one or two questions no matter what. But these people have been trained since childhood, and it has become their instinct to obey orders.
, without any doubt at this moment, he just accepted the order and left.
Over there, Li Tanyi was the only one left in the hall, just like a long, long time ago, when...he was the only one.
He stared at the apricot-yellow purse for a long time, looking dazed, with a smile on his lips. But the next moment, without warning, his face suddenly darkened, and he threw the purse to the ground.
The eyes are sinister——
It was clearly promised!!
He promised to only be my brother!!
He walked forward with a sullen face, picked up the purse, and handed it to the candlelight.
When the candle flame encountered something flammable, the flames suddenly shot up, and a faint burnt smell spread throughout the hall.
However, Li Tanyi seemed to react suddenly and suddenly showed a panicked expression. He ignored the burning fire and grabbed the purse with his hands, and the sporadic flames on it were directly extinguished by his hands.
Ignoring the burns and blisters on his hands, he unzipped the string of his purse with shaking hands.
Inside is a section of black hair tied neatly with a red rope, but half of it has been burnt.
He stared blankly for a while, his eyes red, and the expression on his face looked pitiful, just like the look he would show every time he "made a mistake."
But this time... no one watched.
Obviously you would have forgiven me in the past...
No matter what I do, you will forgive me.
——Why? Why is it different this time?!
…
…………
Liars! They are all liars!!!
There was a hint of gloominess in his still red eyes.
The new residence on the outskirts of Bai Mujing has a good environment, quiet and elegant, and has planted many fruit trees, with freshly picked fruits delivered every day.
It seems that even the air is much more comfortable than in the capital.
In addition to the environment surrounded by mountains and rivers, Bai Mu guessed that there were also reasons for serving people.
Wu'anhou's Mansion is simply a simplified version of a military camp, with a sentry every ten steps and a guard every five steps. They are all fully armored and have swords at their waists.
The greeting of "I have met the Marquis" is exactly the same as the "I have met the General" in Northern Xinjiang. It is just a matter of changing the title.
Leaving aside these guards, even the little boy who was sent to serve Bai Mu was subject to orders and prohibitions.
…
In this kind of environment, people can no longer relax, and their spirits are always tense.
When I arrived at the other courtyard, I finally put down the string and started to live a leisurely life.
Bai Mu calculated with his fingers that as long as he stayed peacefully in this small courtyard until winter, he would be able to finish his final plot.
Congratulations, congratulations.
This world is really full of bald people. According to Pei Baimu's naturally thick hair, it is almost unbearable.
The weather has been nice these days. Bai Mu is currently lying on a rocking chair under the shade of a tree. While rocking, he occasionally twirls an ice-cold lychee that has been peeled next to him.
He was half-lying up, his eyes naturally turned upward, and he watched helplessly as a hand with a wrist guard pressed against the wall.
The children here grew up in the countryside and looked like monkeys. Bai Mu even saw several of them with big heads.
The housekeeper in the villa scolded them several times with a dark face. These children were very tough and did not cry even after being scolded. They ran away hahahahaha. The next day, the housekeeper came back without missing a beat, which made the old housekeeper very angry.
But...the hand today is obviously that of an adult...
Moreover, this wrist guard...why does it look familiar?
While Bai Mu was thinking, the man put his arm on the wall and suddenly popped up, and the two of them looked at each other.
The man didn't seem to expect to see Bai Mu. He was stunned for a few breaths, as if he was frightened for a moment, and he leaned back...
"Bang-bang-dang..."
There was a heavy landing sound, plus the sound of crashing and smashing.
Bai Mu:......
It makes one's teeth ache just to hear it.
The old housekeeper's son ran over in a panic, "Sir, what's wrong?"
Bai Mu's eyes drifted for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure and said seriously, "It's nothing, a monkey fell just now."
Meeting Bai Mu's honest eyes, the young man really had no doubts, "There are indeed monkeys on the mountain here, and little monkey skins often go into the farmers' yards below... But please don't worry, sir... they are all spiritual, and they are not
Hurtful.”
As he spoke, he thought about what happened just now, and couldn't help but murmur in a low voice: "That monkey... is too strong."
Bai Mu: Isn't it...it's over a hundred pounds.
That day Zhong Ang popped up and disappeared.
On the second day, the children lying on the wall became the same children as the previous days.
Their thin arms were propped up on the wall, as if there was some kind of argument. You pushed me and I made trouble with you. Although Bai Mu could see that they were mostly joking around, the risk factor was still high.
He couldn't help raising his hand and beckoning these children to come in.
The children looked at each other for a few times and understood what Bai Mu meant. They turned over neatly, deftly and lightly, really like little monkeys in the mountains.
Today's fruit is courgette, cut into small pieces by Mrs. Liu, and put on ice underneath. It's cold, crispy and sweet, and very refreshing.
The maid in this courtyard must have never used ice in the summer before. Now that the nobleman is here, she is also sincere and uses ice cubes in the basin, so she can use it very well.
However, Bai Mu knew his own body well, and he guessed that he wouldn't be able to eat too much cold food now.
To be continued...
