Chapter 148 Mysterious Woman
The battles on the street fell into Lao Qi's eyes on the roof. He stared at Li Mu and took out a crossbow from behind.
The Tang Dynasty prohibited the private ownership of all long-range weapons, bows, arrows, and crossbows. But this thing was made by humans after all, and Lao Qi was a man who was good at making crossbows.
He didn't expect the Four Kou to accomplish what happened today. He just wanted to cause chaos in the Four Kou and create an opportunity for him to shoot a cold arrow. Now, Li Mu was lying on the ground, which was a good opportunity.
"Marquis Zhulu, you hurt my eldest son. You should be reported. On the way to the underworld, remember that the person who killed you is Cui Qi!"
As he murmured, Cui Qi narrowed one of his eyes and was about to pull the skull. Suddenly a person appeared in his sight. Cui Qi frowned slightly and put the crossbow down.
"It's really her?"
Cui Qi looked carefully, and was secretly surprised. While he was hesitating, a look suddenly swept over. Seeing this, Cui Qi did not hesitate at all and quickly fled from another slope on the roof.
On the street, Li Mu screamed in pain. Li Chongyi was beside him, looking vigilantly at the woman walking over and her guards. The woman was very sensible and stood there two steps away, saying, "Young Master, can your slave be sold to my slave? No matter how much money you spend, I will give you twice."
Li Mu grabbed Li Chongyi's hand, sucked the air conditioner and stood up little by little. He looked up and saw that this was a young woman, covered with a gauze, unable to see clearly, but only heard the sound, but it was extremely pleasant. She was very tall, about 1.70 meters away. This was the tallest woman since Li Mu came to the Tang Dynasty.
He was already married, so Li Mu was inconvenient to see him and said, "He and I are like brothers, and I can't sell it for a lot of money. Thank you for helping me, and I laughed at you. I am Li Mu, the Marquis of Zhulu. Please give me a name, and I will give you a good reward in the future."
"Marquis Zhulu?" The woman seemed a little surprised and asked quickly: "But Marquis Zhulu who said, "How can he bow his eyebrows and serve the powerful and unhappy people, making me unhappy"? But Marquis Zhulu who "was happy and shaking the five mountains, and his poems become a sarcastic and arrogant person in the Cangzhou"? But Marquis Zhulu who said, "The great roc rises with the wind in one day, soars up to 90,000 miles"..."
The woman was so proud of her admiration that she felt embarrassed and said embarrassedly: "It's me... this lady, look at the current situation, it seems not suitable for chatting. I seem to need a doctor..."
"Ah!" The woman couldn't help laughing when she saw the dagger on Li Mu's butt, and quickly said, "The Marquis is right, it's because I'm rude. This silk shop is my property. Why not let the Marquis go inside to rest first? The injury cannot be delayed. I'll invite a doctor and send someone to report to the official."
"That's great..." Li Mu was almost crying in pain, and immediately agreed when he heard this. Li Chongyi picked him up and walked into the satin shop. Li Mu saw the silk all over the ground and said, "Madam, please rest assured, I have bought all these silks, and I will definitely not let you bear the loss."
The woman said, "The Marquis was joking. What is the point of some silk? I admire the Marquis' literary talent. If I can see him, even the shop will be destroyed. So what if I do?"
Li Mu smiled embarrassedly, but his butt hurt and he was embarrassed. The woman covered her mouth, seemed to be holding back her laughter, and turned around and said, "Hao, wait a moment, I'll make some arrangements."
"Hey... wait, wait a moment!" Suddenly Li Mu called the woman and said, "I'd like to send someone to Furong Garden. There is a group of imperial guards next to Furong Garden. If you send someone over there, you will say that I'm assassinated and someone will come."
"Ah, OK!" The woman responded and turned around and walked out of the shop. Several of her guards had gathered the bodies on the street. When the woman saw these bodies, she did not look scared at all. She lowered her voice slightly: "Go and check who made the move and bring the master to me. Also, go to Furong Garden to inform Duke Su, inform the news, and invite a doctor on the way."
The guard said: "Madam, do you really want to tell Duke Su? Don't you want to let people know that you are here in Chang'an?"
"Since I can't hide it, then let's talk. Go and report to the official position, go."
The guard took the order and the woman returned to the silk shop. Li Mu was lying on a table at this time, with a dagger inserted on his butt, and was a little funny in a mess. Li Chongyi couldn't take care of others. Seeing Li Mu screaming in pain, he didn't know what to do, so he stood beside him at a loss. Seeing this, the woman picked up a piece of silk from the ground and placed it under Li Mu's chest, making him lie on it. Li Mu suddenly felt much more relaxed.
Li Mu smiled apologetically and said, "I'm laughing, you haven't told me what wife you are from..."
"I..." the woman hesitated for a moment and said, "I am the wife of the Cui family."
"Cui, Cui?" Li Mu almost screamed and quickly pulled Li Chongyi closer. He already suspected that the killer was sent by the Cui family. The woman in front of him was actually from the Cui family. Could it be that he had just left the wolves and entered the tiger's mouth?
Seeing his nervous look, the woman quickly explained: "Don't panic when Zhulu Hou. My husband's family is not the Boling Cui family, but the Qinghe Cui family. The surname is the same, but not the family."
"Oh..." Li Mu let out a long sigh and said, "I'm scared. To be honest, I suspect that the murderer who came to assassinate me today was sent by the Cui family of Boling. I have punished his eldest son. They can't fight me and want my life. Don't let me find evidence, let me catch the handle, and see how I deal with them!"
The woman looked at Li Mu gritting her teeth and said, "Mr. Marquis is indeed young and energetic, but some things are not necessarily so tit-for-tat. Maybe sit down and talk, and the matter will be over?"
"I can't get over it!" Li Mu gritted his teeth and said, "I will be repaid for my kindness. I had already made up my mind before coming to Chang'an!"
Seeing that Li Mu was speaking so firmly, the woman stopped persuading her. At this time, Cheng Yaojin's voice came from outside the door, and rushed into the shop with a strong smell of alcohol, and said, "Who bastard dares to assassinate my good nephew? I will tear him to pieces today... Li Mu, Li Mu, where are you!"
"Uncle Cheng, I'm here." Li Mu hurriedly shouted, Cheng Yaojin walked over in three steps and two steps. Seeing the dagger on Li Mu's butt, he was about to laugh when he suddenly saw the woman next to him. He opened his mouth wide, pointed at the woman, and said, "You, you, you... your sister-in-law?"
"My sister-in-law?" Li Mu looked at the woman in surprise, and suddenly remembered that Cheng Yaojin's wife was from the Cui family of Qinghe, and the husband's family of the woman in front of him was also the Cui family of Qinghe. Could it be that the woman in front of him was actually the wife of Cheng Yaojin's wife's younger brother?
The woman bowed and said, "Brother-in-law, I've been missing for several years."
