Chapter 21 The Night of Assassination

Mu Xuexing ran away from the house and headed to the right yard, and was also upset that he was unlucky. The sandalwood box was within reach, but he didn't expect that the two maids would ruin a good thing.

If you can't get it this time, you have to come another day, but where is Sikong Mansion? It will reveal your purpose when you come to it frequently.

Mu Xuexing was about to enter when he returned to the back window of the right courtyard, but Cheng Ruoyuan happened to enter the door. Mu Xuexing hurriedly hid in the back window and said in his heart, "No, step slower."

If people are not in the house, wouldn’t it make people suspicious?

Cheng Ruoyuan looked at Mu Xuexing's original position and saw that the chair was empty and there was no trace of Mu Xuexing. Cheng Ruoyuan said in a daze, "Have he left?"

Cheng Ruoyuan turned around and left the house and said, "Come on."

A servant came up quickly, and Cheng Ruoyuan asked, "When did the messenger leave?"

The servant said, "I didn't pay attention to the eldest lady, I'll go to the gate to ask."

While Cheng Ruoyuan turned around, Mu Xuexing jumped into the window. Just as the servant was about to leave, Mu Xuexing smiled behind Cheng Ruoyuan, "Who said I'm leaving?"

Cheng Ruoyuan heard Mu Xuexing beside her, and turned around in surprise and said, "You are here."

Mu Xuexing smiled and said, "Where can I go if I am not here? I saw that I was so excited about making the zither, but I didn't notice that the lady is here."

Cheng Ruoyuan signaled to the servant, "Go down"

The servant said, "It's the eldest lady."

Making a zither is not a zither, it is Zhang's painting. Gu Kaizhi painted fourteen people in the painting, some of whom were breaking the board, making strings, trying the zither, or watching and commanding, and several waiters and apprentices held fans to support them.

The person in the painting has a square face and a solemn expression, and the characters' clothes are thin, vigorous and stylish.

The zither was hung on the right wall in the hall. Cheng Ruoyuan came in and looked at the seats in the hall. She didn't notice whether Mu Xuexing looked at the paintings on the right. Cheng Ruoyuan led Mu Xuexing to the picture of making the zither and asked, "The messenger thought what about the picture of making the zither?"

Mu Xuexing expressed his opinion and said, "The picture of making a zither is not as good as the picture of the Goddess of Luo River, but his writing style still highlights his uniqueness."

Cheng Ruoyuan stared at Mu Xue's walkway in surprise and said, "I didn't expect that the messenger's opinion was the same as mine."

Cheng Ruoyuan made a call and let Mu Xuexing take her seat. Cheng Ruoyuan said, "I didn't expect that the messenger was not only a good understanding of cutting skills, but also had a lot of experience in painting. Let's sit down, let's talk carefully."

Mu Xuexing politely declined, "I have been bothering you for a long time, I think the eldest lady is also busy, so why not come another day."

Mu Xuexing suddenly wanted to leave, but Cheng Ruoyuan felt it was very abrupt, but the other party was about to leave, and Cheng Ruoyuan's family was not easy to keep.

Cheng Ruoyuan looked at Mu Xuexing and saw that there was sweat on his face and asked casually, "What? It's very hot in the hall?"

It is not surprising that Mu Xuexing was sweating when he ran back and forth. Mu Xuexing was thinking about how to say that he was not in the hall, but he ignored the sweating on his face.

Sweat, Cheng Ruoyuan has attracted the attention of her, and Mu Xuexing immediately smiled and said, "It's not hot, why is it hot if the windows in the hall are all open?"

Cheng Ruoyuan stared at Mu Xuexing with her eyes tightly, "Why are you sweating if you are not hot?"

Mu Xuexing pretended to be relaxed and smiled and said, "I'm so anxious that I'm sweating after waiting for you for a long time."

Mu Xuexing used his words and thoughts again, Cheng Ruoyuan said with a slight shame, "Don't talk nonsense, I'm busy today, so I won't send many messengers."

Mu Xuexing bowed and said goodbye, "I'm here to visit you in another day's leisure time"

Mu Xuexing said goodbye and left. Cheng Ruoyuan looked suspicious and stared at his left back. When Mu Xuexing left, Cheng Ruoyuan thought for a moment and came to the previous entrance position to stand. Cheng Ruoyuan stood in this position and could see the entire hall. If Mu Xuexing was really looking at the painting at that time, she would not have been unable to see it.

There is really someone standing in front of the painting, and she won't ignore it.

Cheng Ruoyuan frowned and pondered. Where would he go if Mu Xue was not in the house? Also, how could it be so appropriate? When she asked the servant, he would talk behind her. If someone was not in the house, she would not be able to do this.

Provoking suspicion is provoking suspicion. After all, the situation is different. She did not intend to embrace the hall before. Maybe he was really looking at the painting, but he didn't pay much attention. If he deliberately and unintentionally looks at the same place, there will naturally be different results.

"Maybe I'm really not paying attention." Cheng Ruoyuan gave herself an answer.

Cheng Ruoyuan was asking herself, "But what's going on with his sweat? How could he sweat when he stayed in the hall?"

Cheng Ruoyuan couldn't find a reasonable explanation to convince herself in this regard.

Cheng Ruoyuan called a servant and ordered, "Go and ask if other people in the mansion have encountered any strange things."

The servant didn't understand and said, "What is strange? What is the young lady? "

Cheng Ruoyuan didn't know what she wanted to know, but Cheng Ruoyuan said, "It's just a strange thing, just ask."

"Yes, the younger one will go here"

Zhang Guirong lay on his bed, shouting, "You should be gentle... start with gentle..."

Lu Hong was helping him with medicine on his butt and said angrily, "You said, what mistake did you make? Commander Fang wants to hit you."

How dare Zhang Guirong say that he went to Huage? Zhang Guirong hesitated and said, "I... I just do things in a bad way, which annoys Commander Fang."

Lu Hong's cousin Wen Chang is here again, Wen Chang is pushing the door, "Cousin, are you here or not?"

When Zhang Guirong heard Wen Chang's voice, he didn't call him, "Why is your cousin here again?"

Lu Hong said, "How did I know, I didn't let him come?"

Lu Hong put the medicine back in the cabinet and said, "Lying down, I'll open the door."

Lu Hong went to answer the question, "Cousin, why are you here?"

Wen Chang smiled slowly and said, "Do you want to go and burn incense today?"

Lu Hong said angrily, "It's not the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, why should I burn it?"

Wen Chang held the folding fan in his right hand and slapped his left palm and suddenly realized, "Yes, yes, yes, I'm confused. The temple is not a tavern, so I can't go to it every day."

Zhang Guirong's voice came from the house and said, "What kind of bullshit fragrance is there? Don't ask for any peace talisman. If those things are to be effective, can I still be beaten?"

Wen Chang smiled and said, "You can't say that cousin, you went to Huage to have fun and beating. The Buddha's Lord doesn't like to go there, so naturally I can't bless you."

When Lu Hong heard this, she said angryly, "Cousin, what did you say! Where did he get beaten up!"

Wen Chang smiled and said, "Hua Pavilion, the girl inside is very beautiful."

Lu Hong immediately turned Zhang Guirong's ear and shouted, "Good you Zhang Guirong, I worked hard to serve you at home and went to burn incense for you. That's how you treated me!"

Zhang Guirong made Lu Hong twist his ears and hurt her immediately. She covered her ears and was about to turn over and hide, but when she turned her butt and hit the bed, it hurt again. Zhang Guirong shouted in pain, "Jia Wenchang! You dare to talk nonsense!"

Jia Wenchang looked at Lu Hong seriously and said, "Cousin, I'm not talking nonsense. I heard those people in the Beiguan."

Lu Hong let go of Zhang Guirong's ears in anger, lay on the table and cried, "Zhang Guirong, you treat me like this, I will never end with you."

Zhang Guirong glared at Jia Wenchang and said, "Don't listen to your cousin's nonsense. I'm accompanying the envoy and the Guanwei. We are going to talk about the important matters, so how can we find joy and happiness!"

Lu Hong raised her head and looked directly at Zhang Guirong and said, "You didn't lie to me."

Jia Wenchang hurriedly opened his mouth and said, "Cousin, can you believe this? Who will go to Huage if you talk about the main business?"

Zhang Guirong immediately swore, "Lu Hong, if you don't believe me, go and ask the brothers in the museum, and you will know whether what I said is true or false."

Jia Wenchang muttered to Lu Hong, "Everyone goes to Huage, if you want to do something, who can know?"

Lu Hong wiped tears and packed his clothes. When Zhang Guirong saw it, he was immediately panicked, "What are you doing?"

Lu Hong said with grievances that "going home"

Zhang Guirong shouted, "What are you doing when you go home? Yuning and Jingbei are not a day away...you..."

Before Zhang Guirong finished speaking, Jia Wen smiled and said, "It's good to go back, so I won't be able to get angry here. I'll take you back."

Zhang Guirong was furious and said, "Jia Wenchang!"

Lu Hong packed her clothes and went out with Jia Wen. Zhang Guirong wanted to get out of bed to stop people, but her worries hurt so much that they could get out of bed.

Hou Sanfu saw Mu Xuexing safely leaving the main gate of Sikong Mansion on the roof, and did not come forward to ask whether the matter was done. Hou San was very patient and was talking about it when meeting at night.

Mu Xuexing returned to the Beiguan with anxiety and annoyance. He sat in the room. He knew that Cheng Ruoyuan would be suspicious. It would not be that easy to get out of Cheng Ruoyuan's attention when he came to the door next time.

As Guo Yun said, Mu Xuexing is also a human being, and he will make mistakes if he is a human being. The mistake he made is that he did not wipe away the sweat beads in time.

If you make a mistake, you have to correct it. How to correct this mistake? It is very rare.

Mu Xuexing was thinking about an excuse to go to Sikong Mansion to find an excuse to escape from Cheng Ruoyuan's sight. He originally wanted to use the exchange of cutting skills to induce Cheng Ruoyuan to go to the boudoir to talk, and find an opportunity to put laxatives in tea and wait for the opportunity to go to Sikong's study. Unexpectedly, he happened to encounter Cheng Ruoyuan's problem, and he could not succeed even with such a good opportunity.

Mu Xuexing sighed, "Man's calculation is not as good as God's calculation"

Next time, Cheng Ruoyuan will be wary of not being alone with him. This time Cheng Ruoyuan will definitely send someone to stare at him. Mu Xuexing thought complicatedly so that he closed his eyes.

Mu Xuexing closed his eyes and it was already dark outside.

As soon as the night darkened, four men in black came.

The City Defense Force and Beiling Qi were often divided into front and back yards for alert. Cheng Yong transferred the City Defense Force into the hall, and the excuse was easy to find, so he said that someone wanted to assassinate the envoy after receiving the news.

This is reasonable.

The man in black sent by Cheng Yong was familiar with the Beiguan. No one knew about this except Fang Mo Cheng Yong. For Lu Qi and Zhou An, Cheng Yong wanted the four men to find the city defense force to be unlucky, rather than to offend the envoy.

The four of them were very familiar with the patrol routes between the two sides, so they had approached Mu Xuexing's yard from outside the museum in a blink of an eye.

Fang Mo calculated the time and said before the man in black had something to ask for instructions to see him.

Mu Xuexing was alone in the yard and had no idea what was going to happen.

The four of them fell outside the courtyard. Mu Xuexing's ears were extremely sensitive. When he moved his ears, he looked tightly outside the door. He saw that the two of them kicked open the door. The other two broke into the windows from the left and right windows next to the door.

As soon as the four men appeared, four sharp swords rushed towards Mu Xuexing. Mu Xuexing was so surprised that he never thought that an assassin would really kill him.

He was the assassin who assassinated the messenger, and he never thought of attracting the assassin.

The sword was approaching, Mu Xuexing kicked the tea table, and the tea table turned toward the door. The two assassins pulled away their swords and kicked the tea table backwards. Mu Xuexing moved horizontally to the right when kicking the table. Mu Xuexing avoided the person from the right and grabbed the sword to the right, grabbed the sword in his hand, snatched the sword in his hand and stabbed the assassin. The assassin turned around and hid.

Mu Xuexing did not hit the assassin's key, but stabbed the assassin's right arm.
