Return of the Swallow

Although Ji Yun didn't know what faction Mu Jinghu learned from, she had already seen his ability to subdue assassins in the blink of an eye, and she had seen this person before when she was by Pang Xiao's side, so she was more certain that this person was credible, so she stood up. He got up and said, "Thank you, Young Master, and Young Master Lao will be waiting at the door for a while. I'm going to go back to my Marquis first."

Although Mu Jinghu was a bit dumb and didn't have much contact with the world, he was not stupid. Thinking about the difference between men and women, it was indeed time for him to wait at the door, so he lifted the assassin's collar one by one, like dragging two pieces of wood to the yard. Inside, he turned back and picked up another one, placed it in a line with the previous two, and stood in front of the study door with his hands behind his back.

Seeing him like this, Ji Yun smiled gratefully, and went to Qin Huaiyuan with the package of medicine.

Qin Huaiyuan had just sent away the soldiers of the five cities and the horse division. At this time, when he saw Ji Yun, who was doing fine just now, but now he came over with injuries, and greeted him with a pale face, "What's the matter? Waiting for the lady?"

Ji Yun saluted, and led Qin Huaiyuan to the side and whispered: "The three assassins have just arrived, and they are much better than the previous group of assassins. I couldn't resist, and I was injured. Fortunately, the little prince sent to protect the girl. The swordsman arrived in time to take down the three people. This is the wound medicine given by the swordsman, sir, please ask the doctor to see if it is available."

Qin Huaiyuan took the medicine and held it in his hand, how could his smart brain still not understand the key?

That group of people seemed to have premeditated a long time ago, first arranging a large number of troops to destroy the family as much as possible, and then arranging people to pretend to attack the palace, so that the people of the five city soldiers and horses could not be rescued in time. If they are not successful, they can find a target and ask people to secretly attack Qin Yining while they relax their guard.

And these people must have been arranged by the Great Zhou Emperor.

After all, those who ascend to the throne have a certain degree of conviction in the doctrine of destiny.

Just like Emperor Dayan, whether he believed that Qin Yining's existence could ensure the stability of the mountains and rivers of Dayan, he would not touch Qin Yining's troubles.

The emperor of the Zhou Dynasty also thought that whether it worked or not, he would kill Qin Yining first to destroy this "talisman".

Qin Huaiyuan clenched his teeth, turned around and called an imperial doctor to see the medicine first.

The imperial doctor checked it carefully, and was amazed at the medicine: "Master Hou, this medicine is very good. Although the old man who prepared it can't understand it, he knows how to use it."

Qin Huaiyuan nodded, thanked him, and instructed the doctor to take care of Ji Yun's injuries, and hurried to the study in the outer courtyard.

Ji Yun was not worried about Qin Yining, he only said that it would be fine if he took some medicine later, and followed Qin Huaiyuan out.

At this time, the sky was already white with fish belly,

The three black-clothed assassins in the outer courtyard of the study room still kept the momentary movement of being tapped.

A tall, thin man in a light gray patched gown stood under the porch with his hands behind his back, behind the closed door and the broken window.

Qin Huaiyuan and Ji Yun entered the courtyard and looked at Mu Jinghu first.

Mu Jinghu also looked at Qin Huaiyuan, his eyes were calm and blank, as if he wanted to understand something for a while, he went down the steps and said, "Hello, uncle."

Qin Huaiyuan was surprised and felt that this young man seemed a little ignorant of the world. "Uncle" is the name of the first sentence, it will make people feel that he is familiar or has a relationship.

But Qin Huaiyuan still bowed sternly, "This chivalrous man, I have nothing to repay for saving the little girl today. In the future, whenever there is something I can use for this old man, I will do my best to repay the great kindness!"

"Uncle, don't be too polite. My surname is Mu, and many people call me Mu Zhu. If my uncle dislikes me, I'll just call me Mu Zhu." Mu Jinghu hurriedly helped. Glancing at the three people on the ground, he said, "Let's tie up these three first. Do you need me to help them in the first trial? I can tell them that life is better than death, and they won't be hurt at all."

As if proud, he shook his finger.

Qin Huaiyuan had no ill will towards the familiar young man in front of him. On the contrary, he read a thousand sails, and his ability to observe people was first-rate. Although this young man was wearing shabby clothes, he was clean from top to bottom, and he had a pair of Quiet and clear eyes. A person with such eyes must be a kind-hearted person.

Perhaps he was a disciple of a hermit master, so he was so ignorant of the world.

"Thank you, Young Master Mu." Qin Huaiyuan turned around and ordered Ji Yun, "Go find a rope to trap people. Now the house is in chaos and there are not enough staff, so please forgive me, girl."

Ji Yun was flattered and said repeatedly: "Master Hou is too polite, slaves dare not."

"Where is it? I also want to thank you for saving Sister Yi." Qin Huaiyuan was obstructing the three people on the ground, so he couldn't tell Pang Xiao, so he said, "Mr. Mu, go to resettlement first?"

"Well... well, why don't I take a rest near me, I should try my best to be trusted by someone to be loyal, and to promise to protect someone comprehensively."

"Alright, Master, please do as you please. The mansion suffered, the family was in chaos, and I asked Master Mu to forgive me for not taking care of it well." Qin Huaiyuan said politely.

Mu Jinghu waved his hands again and again and said with a smile: "Uncle, don't be polite. It's all my own."

Qin Huaiyuan was worried about Qin Yining, so he stopped being polite to this real person and went into the house to see Qin Yining.

Although the house was chaotic, Qin Yining's place was well protected. She had a handkerchief on her head. Because of the fever, the cool handkerchief had long since turned into a hot handkerchief.

Qin Huaiyuan personally put the handkerchief over the cold water and put it on her forehead, sighing melancholy.

At this time, Ji Yun had already bound the man, so he came into the house and said, "Master Hou, it's good for your servant to serve the girl."

"Alright. When the sky is bright, I'll try to get someone over here."

Qin Huaiyuan does have a lot of things to do. He still needs to be the master of the chaotic family. The funeral of the deceased has to be done, the family's emotions have to be appeased, and the government has to take care of it. He will also come, and he has to rely on him for all the things to do. Although he really wanted to take care of Qin Yining, he really couldn't do anything about it.

Qin Huaiyuan touched Qin Yining's head again, sighed, and then got up and went out.

There was a fire in the palace overnight, and the news that the Qin family was wiped out spread uproar.

When Bingtang, who was still helping at Prince Ning's mansion, got the news, he was so frightened that he lost his mind. He couldn't wait to come with Prince Ning, so he rushed back.

Riding on a horse and turning around the corner, Bingtang almost fainted from fright, looking at the wide open door of the Qin family, the bloodstains on the floor, and the burnt-black house inside the door.

Bingtang hurriedly jumped off the horse and rushed towards the house with the medical box in hand. Because he was in a hurry, he couldn't see the road clearly, and collided with the shopkeeper Zhong Da, who was also running to the house.

"Big shopkeeper?"

"Bingtang girl! Is the boss okay?"

"I don't know, I just came back from the palace."

"Oh! How good is this!"

The two of them ran into the mansion as if they were headless flies, and ran into a servant boy with a white filial sash tied around his waist, and only then did they ask about the situation in the mansion.

"The mourning hall is in the main hall."

When Bingtang heard the mourning hall, she was so frightened that she grabbed the little servant's arm: "Who the hell went?"

The little servant covered his face and cried: "Many people died, and my brother died too! The third wife, the eldest grandmother, the ninth master, several young ladies, and many sisters and maids in the inner house are all dead!"

"Where's the fourth young lady!" Master Zhong roared angrily.

The little servant choked and said, "Fourth Miss was slashed with a knife. I don't know if she can survive. Now she's in the inner house."

When Bingtang and Storekeeper Zhong Da heard this, they dashed towards the Chuihuamen immediately.
