Chapter 17 An Astonishing Conspiracy

When Mu Qiuhuang and his party returned to the post station where the Xilie Hou Mansion caravan was here, it was getting darker, and Wuxin and Qingya Taoist had also returned early. As usual, there was a large pot of red oil boiled with meat and bones in front of Qingya Taoist. The pot was filled with various meats. In front of the little monk Wuxin, there was a small pot of clear soup, and there was only cabbage and tofu at the edge of the pot.

"Your Highness, you are finally back. Do you know what the most painful thing in the world is?" Taoist Qingya said.

"What is it?" Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but wonder.

"Of course I am guarding a red oil soup pot full of meat and bones, and I will wait for you to come back..."

Taoist Qingya said, starting to hold a meat bone in his bowl. Wuxin also smiled slightly and started to boil cabbage and tofu.

Mu Qiuhuang smiled slightly when she heard this, picked up a piece of meat bone for herself, and said while gnawing: "It's not me who asked you to wait for me to have a meal? Could it be that if I don't come back all day today, you won't move your chopsticks all day?"

"It makes sense for the donor to say this, but... our donor is responsible for food, clothing, housing and transportation. It is inevitable that it is unreasonable to wait for the donor to eat together. What's more, donor, you haven't said that 'hot pot' requires more people to eat more to have an atmosphere." Wuxin said with a smile.

Mu Qiuhuang swallowed the meat in her mouth, turned her head to look at Wuxin, and laughed: "Little monk, you said a lot of nonsense. Only the last sentence has come to the point. 'hot pot' is eaten together for a lot of people, so it is lively. Why don't you sit here and try the meat bones in our pot? I can guarantee that this meat bones are a hundred times better than your cabbage and tofu..."

"Amitabha, sin, sin... the little monk would rather eat my cabbage and tofu honestly." Wuxin said sincerely, picking up a piece of tofu.

Taoist Qingya took advantage of this moment and had already eaten the big bone just now. He picked up a big bone from the pot and said while gnawing on the bone: "Monks don't eat meat, they will chant scriptures sooner or later..."

Listening to the words of Taoist Qingya, Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help laughing, while Wu Xin was chewing a piece of vegetable with black threads on her head.

After a period of time from Xilie Hou's Mansion to Miaojiang, the relationship between the three became more and more intimate and their speech became more and more casual. Among them, Qingya Taoist even said "golden sentences frequently". In the past, Ji Ruoxue should have a few words, but today she became quiet. Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help looking at Ji Ruoxue, but saw Ji Ruoxue feeding the nine-tailed spirit fox called "Xiaojiu". But it was not too much to see, but Mu Qiuhuang was shocked when she saw that Ji Ruoxue actually picked up a piece of meat bone and dipped it in a bowl before feeding it to the nine-tailed spirit fox. The nine-tailed spirit fox naturally closed his mouth, shook his head and avoided the flesh bone, and did not eat it anyway.

"Look, why don't Xiaojiu eat? Didn't it mean that foxes like to eat meat the most?" Ji Ruoxue looked at Mu Qiuhuang and said in confusion.

Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help laughing and said, "I suddenly felt that it was a miracle that 'Little Flower' could live to this day..."

"How can I let 'Xiaojiu' eat?" Ji Ruoxue looked at Mu Qiuhuang with a begging look.

"Haha..." Mu Qiuhuang touched Ji Ruoxue's head and laughed: "Of course I'll feed it with another bone."

As he said that, he picked up a few pieces of raw meat from the plate on the side of the pot and put it in front of the Nine-tailed Spirit Fox. Sure enough, the Nine-tailed Spirit Fox sniffed it and confirmed that it was raw meat, and he also started to eat it.

"You are so awesome!" Seeing that the Nine-tailed Fox started to eat, Ji Ruoxue looked at Mu Qiuhuang with admiration and said.

"I……"

Looking at Ji Ruoxue's admiration, Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but feel a little dumb.

Silent.

After dinner, Ji Ruoxue asked to go and bathe the Nine-tailed Spirit Fox. Mu Qiuhuang stayed here with Qingya Taoist and Wuxin, as if waiting for something.

Soon, the door opened silently, and then a blurry figure flashed in.

Seeing that Qingya Taoist and Wuxin were about to take action, Mu Qiuhuang quickly explained: "Our own."

"See the young master."

The person who came was the "Chi" among the "Chi" and saw that the Chi hugged his whole body in a black cloak, and his face couldn't be seen very clearly.

"How is it? Still no news came out?" Mu Qiuhuang asked urgently.

Chi shook his head helplessly and said quietly: "I have been following me and "Mei" along the way for more than two months. You can find some clues first, but when you reach Leigong Mountain, you completely lose the trace of Dongxue. "Mei" stayed in Leigong Mountain and continued to track it. My subordinates came back first to report to the young master."

"What do you think?" Mu Qiuhuang asked calmly.

Chi looked at Mu Qiuhuang carefully and said, "According to the analysis of his subordinates, there are only two situations. One is that Miss Dongxue returns the same way, and the other is that Miss Dongxue may be in trouble..."

"Leigong Mountain..." Mu Qiuhuang murmured.

Although Chi did not explain it, Mu Qiuhuang had already guessed the general meaning. This so-called "trouble" is probably a lot of danger. For the twenty-four ghosts, tracking and spying are what they are good at, so Mu Qiuhuang also believes in their judgment.

However, it is precisely because of this that Mu Qiuhuang's mood seems extremely heavy.

The four girls, spring, summer, autumn and Dong, grew up with him, so the relationship between the people has surpassed that of the master and servant, and are more like relatives. Chuntao and Xia He are better. They just stay in the marquis's house to take care of Mu Qiuhuang's daily life. The wind cannot blow the rain and cannot be wet, and there is no need to experience any dangerous things. However, Qiushuang and Dongxue are not as good as them. Because Qiushuang and Dong have had the talent for martial arts since childhood, they have been trained by Mu Qingen as death soldiers, and their purpose is to die for Mu Qiuhuang one day in the future. Because of this, Mu Qiuhuang feels more guilty about Qiushuang and Dongxue than Chuntao and Xiahe.

"Young Master..." Chi glanced at Mu Qiuhuang with concern.

"I'm fine, you go down and rest first!" Mu Qiuhuang waved at Chi.

"I'm leaving." Chi responded softly, and his whole body disappeared silently in the room.

Seeing Mu Qiuhuang feeling heavy, Taoist Qingya opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say, and couldn't help but turn his eyes to Wuxin.

Wu Xin also recalled the woman in white who flew to protect him in front of Liujing River. He couldn't help but look at Mu Qiuhuang and comforted him: "Don't worry, don't worry, I believe that Miss Dongxue will have a good fortune."

"Well, she will be fine." Mu Qiuhuang comforted herself.

The three of them were silent for a while, and Mu Qiuhuang suddenly said, "By the way, you two saw Wu Biran taking action today. How about he think he is better than me?"

After thinking for a while, Wu Xin said, "If the donor comes out with swords and swords, he should not be as good as the donor."

Taoist Qingya nodded and said certainly: "I think so too."

After thinking for a while, Mu Qiuhuang said, "I need you two to do me a favor, but this matter is risky. If you don't want to, I won't force it. The only thing I can promise is that whether this matter is successful or not, I owe you a favor to both Buddhist and Taoist sects on behalf of the Beiyu Marquis Mansion."

Wuxin and Qingya Taoist saw Mu Qiuhuang’s seriousness, and they couldn’t help but become serious.

However, the two of them nodded at the same time without thinking too much, and agreed: "Your Highness, the donor, but it's okay, the little monk is willing to listen to the donor's orders."

"Thank you." Mu Qiuhuang said sincerely.

"Your Highness, you're welcome. Xiaodao keeps eating yours and drinking yours. It's time to do something for you, otherwise wouldn't it be a waste of food..." Taoist Qingya laughed.

"The same is true for the little monk." Wu Xin smiled and said.

"Haha... It's so lucky to have friends like this!" Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help laughing.

"What does Your Highness the Prince want us to do?" asked Taoist Qingya.

"I want you to help me capture Wu Biran."

Mu Qiuhuang asked, "If you attack unexpectedly, will you join forces and be sure to stop him in a short time?"

Wuxin and Qingya Taoist thought for a while, nodded and said with certainty: "No problem."

"Okay, I have learned a set of techniques from the old man in the mansion to lock the eight extraordinary meridians of a person so that it cannot move its true essence. After you two subdued him, I will lock the eight extraordinary meridians of his..." Mu Qiuhuang said.

"When will I do it?" asked Taoist Qingya.

"I'm not waiting for time, it's tonight."

Mu Qiuhuang continued, "After capturing him, we will enter Miaojiang overnight."

"Okay." Wuxin and Qingya Taoist nodded and agreed.

After waiting for a while, the three of them saw that "Wang" quietly entered the room. With the appearance of the monster just now, Wu Xin and Taoist Qingya were no longer surprised by the arrival of the monster.

"Sir, please see the young master." The two knelt down at the same time and bowed.

"How is it?" Mu Qiuhuang asked.

Wang opened his mouth to report: "The subordinates and 'Liang' followed them all the way back and found that there was no one around Prince Nan Zhao's side except for those people on the surface, and 'Liang' continued to stare at them."

"good."

Upon hearing this, Mu Qiuhuang smiled slightly and said, "This Wu Biran is confident, but this is good, and it saves us a lot of trouble."

"You go and find me three sets of night clothes. After that, I will call "Chi" too. I don't care what method you use, but one thing is that I need a cup of tea. Within this cup of tea, I want Wu Biran to call anyone." Mu Qiuhuang ordered.

"Yes." Wu agreed neatly.

Seeing this, Mu Qiuhuang was stunned. Then she remembered the fact that the twenty-four ghosts poisoned a tribe and poisoned a tribe. She quickly added: "Just put some crotons and make a spoil. Don't poison them to death. I still have the use of it..."

"Yes." Wu nodded and disappeared quietly.

Looking at the stunned Taoist Qingya and Wuxin, Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but smile and said, "You two can rest for a while! I'll let Xueer prepare too..."

After Mu Qiuhuang left, Wuxin and Taoist Qingya looked at each other. It was the first time they had known Mu Qiuhuang for so long that they had seen Mu Qiuhuang planning something in front of them... And I have to say that Mu Qiuhuang's move also left a deep enough impression on them.

"It's beyond my reach." Qingya Taoist murmured.

"The same is true for the little monk." Wuxin nodded and agreed with Taoist Qingya.
