The Counterfeit Madam Hou - Chapter 43

All this happened too quickly, and the people in the secret way were shocked.

Xue Mu’s eyes sank, and Tang Zibo was escorted to the place where the guard fell: “Where does this trap lead?”

Tang Zibo pursed his bloodless lips, his voice hoarse: “How do I know … oh!”

Tang Zibo screamed in pain, his face turned blue, Xue Mu looked at him calmly: “You better think clearly before answering, otherwise I will chop off your other wrist.”

Tang Zibo gritted his teeth and stared at Xue Mu, not talking. Nuo Yan took several guards to search for the surrounding tiles, and soon found the triggering mechanism.

The trap opened again, and inside it was a long narrow passage that looked deeper than the entrance they had come in before.

Tang Zibo also glanced over there, in fact this is not a trap, but an exit leading directly to the Biqing River outside the city. Just because the exit is at the bottom of the river, it will be covered with water after coming out, very embarrassed, so if it is not an emergency evacuation, no one will choose to take this exit. Of course, people with poor waterability cannot take this exit.

But Xue Mu didn’t know it. Nuo Yan studied for a while and got up and said to Xue Mu: “Master Hou, I’ll go and see.”

Xue Mu thought for a while and thought, “No, brother Guangyuan is exploring the way for us.”

As soon as Tang Zibo’s face changed, before he could scold him shamelessly, he was thrown away by Xue Mu. Xue Mu listened to his screams and went away, jumping up.

Nuo Yan was frightened by his sudden behavior, and quickly jumped down.

The passage stretched forward windingly. In addition to the whistling wind in his ear, Xue Mu also faintly heard the sound of water flowing. After a while, I saw the light shining in front, and the cold river water poured into my mouth and nose without warning.

Xue Mu took a sip of water and soon rose from the bottom. He looked around and recognized that it was the Biqing River outside the city. A violent cough came from the left. He turned his head and glanced at it. Tang Zibo also struggled to float from the water.

He swam to Tang Zibo, carried his collar to the opposite side, and climbed ashore. The guard who had fallen earlier also landed in front, and the last Nouyan looked around and swam in the direction of Xue Mu.

The people who fell from the trap were gathered here, but there was no Liu Qinghuan.

Xue Mu frowned as she looked at the deserted suburbs.

“Qingqing——!” These two words used ten percent of the internal force, and the echoes spread from wave to wave, causing a black bird to rush in the forest, hissing loudly.

When the echo disappeared, no one responded to him.

Xue Mu’s heart was getting heavier. If it wasn’t here, would she return to Houfu? He glanced at Nuo Yan and threw Tang Zibo to him: “Bring him back and see if Qingqing has returned to Hou’s house by the way.”

“Yes.” Nuo Yan twisted Tang Zibo, who had fallen into a semi-coma, toward the gate of the city, followed by the guard who had accidentally touched the organ. Xue Mu stayed outside the city alone and found her along the river.

When Nuo Yan returned with a group of men and horses, Xue Mu’s clothes were dry, but nothing was found. He looked at the oncoming Noon, and walked up a little anxiously: “Can I go back to Qingqing?”

Nuo Yan shook his head: “I haven’t returned home yet.”

Xue Mu’s eyes suddenly sank.

Nuo Yan paused and said, “Hou Ye, Shi Langfu has heard about the morning, and Mrs. Liu is still in Houfu.”

Xue Mu froze a little, but Qingqing married Hou’s house in April, but two incidents happened one after another. Mrs. Liu may have a big opinion on his son-in-law. He pursed his lips and asked, “How is it going?”

Nuo Yan said: “Mrs. Liu is very anxious, waiting for Lord Hou to return to the house to find out the situation, the old lady has been with her.” He thought for a while, and said, “Liu Shi Lang was also summoned to the palace by the emperor. “

“I see.” Xue Mu was silent for a while, and said, “Find the whereabouts of Qingqing first, and call someone to search here.”

“Yes.”

This search found the sun went down, but still could not find Liu Qinghuan’s whereabouts. Nuo Yan looked at Xue Mu’s gloomy back and stepped forward and said, “Hou Ye, it would be inconvenient to search after dark. Why not continue tomorrow morning?”

“Continue searching.” Xue Mu’s head did not return to the tunnel.

Nuo Yan frowned, persuading: “Hou Ye, you haven’t eaten in a day, and you can’t afford to go on like this. In addition, there are some things on Hou House that need Hou Ye to go back to preside.

Xue Mu stopped and stood still. Liu Qinghuan is more dangerous to stay here after dark, and she may still have injuries. Xue Mu is not willing to go back. As long as he couldn’t find her for a moment, he couldn’t rest in his heart.

But as Nuo Yan said, there are many things waiting for him to go back to preside.

He tightened his fist and Shen said: “You continue to lead people to search along the river bank, I will go back alone.”

Nuo Yan nodded and said, “Hou Ye rest assured that his subordinates will do their best to find his wife.”

After Xue Mu returned to Hou’s house, she went directly to Ning’s house. Madam Liu did not leave. Seeing Xue Mu’s return, the eyes of the two old ladies both became a little eager: “But where is Qing Huan?”

Xue Mu pursed her lips and said, “Nuo Yan will also take someone to search. Please rest assured, Aunt and Mother-in-law, I will definitely find it.”

Mrs. Liu sank when he heard that. She wiped some red eyes and stepped forward to look at him and said, “Master Hou, you always tell me, what the **** is going on here? Why does the worship of the fire want to seize Qinghuan? Will she have life? Danger?”

“No,” Xue Mu said firmly. “Qingqing will be fine.”

Xue Mu was resolute. I don’t know if he is comforting Mrs. Liu or persuading herself.

Mrs. Liu groaned slightly. He only answered the last question, but when he saw that his face was even uglier than himself, it was not good to force him again: “It is not early today, and I will not continue to disturb in Hou’s house. As soon as there was news of Qinghuan, he sent an individual to Shilang Mansion to report. “

Xue Mu nodded: “Master Mother-in-law is assured.”

Mrs. Liu took a deep breath and left with her sister-in-law. Liang Chen went out to give him a gift, and Ning’s looked at Xue Mu with anxiety: “Muer, will Qinghuan be all right?”

Xue Mu stepped forward, holding her hand and saying, “A mother, rest assured that being clear and smart, you will definitely be able to save yourself from danger.”

Ning’s glanced at him and said nothing.

Xue Mu let go of her hand and stood straight: “The baby has to go to the palace once, and Auntie will rest earlier.”

Ning stopped him: “Muer, you just came back. Have you ever used dinner?”

Xue Mu said: “Baby is not hungry, don’t worry about Anang.”

What else would Ning say, Xue Mu had gone far. Ning leaned on the couch and rubbed his stinging temples.

When Xue Mu entered the palace, Liu Shilang just came out of the Purple Temple. The two bumped into each other. Xue Mu didn’t know what to say for a while, but Liu Shilang opened his mouth first.

As he said, Xue Mu was even more guilty: “Little shame on his father-in-law.”

Liu Shilang approached him and lowered his voice, “She can escape a disaster 17 years ago, and there must be nothing today.”

Xue Muzheng nodded and nodded: “I hope so.”

If something is cleared up, he may not care about the emperor’s overall situation and directly tangled Tang Zibo.

After saying goodbye to Liu Shilang, Xue Mu stepped into the Purple Temple. Emperor Yan looked at his gloomy look, and frowned slightly: “No news about Liu Qinghuan?”

Xue Mu shook her head.

Yandi grew up with him from an early age, knowing that he had a deepest affection for Liu Qinghuan, and at this time he could only comfort his lucky people.

Xue Mu suddenly felt a little funny, so others comforted him, and he comforted others, but it was useless.

His heart was agitated to the extreme, like being fried on a fire. He was afraid … finally a body was found.

Yandi was uncomfortable to see him like this, but some things still had to say: “You and your brigade have searched the ancestral hall today. Several ministers have criticized this. Although this has been suppressed, Tang Zibo … I’m afraid I have to hand it over. “

Xue Mu’s brow gradually tightened, and his murderous spirit overflowed: “Several friends of King Lingnan have asked the emperor for help?”

Emperor Yan sighed, “Xue Mu, it is time to reach the critical point. You must not be impatient, or you will give up all your achievements.”

“What about Qingqing? She’s still alive and dead, do you want me to release Tang Zibo?”

The Gao Gong serving next to the emperor throbbed. General Xue’s posture, if he continued to develop this way, would definitely conflict with the emperor.

“Princess Yongfu arrives–“

The **** circulated outside the door shouted, and Yongfu walked in quickly: “My sister and sister meet the emperor.”

The appearance of Yongfu eased the tense atmosphere in the hall, and Yandi let her lay flat, sitting on a dragon chair and not speaking. Yongfu glanced at Xue Mu with a complex complexion and smiled, “General Xue, Princess Princess has something to discuss with the emperor. I wonder if General Xue can avoid it first?”

Xue Mu pursed her lips and walked to the front: “The minister resigned first.”

When he finished speaking, he exited the Purple Temple, and after a while, Yongfu chased out from it: “Xue Mu!”

Xue Mu’s steps didn’t stop, he asked without looking back, “Isn’t the princess having something to discuss with the emperor, can we finish the conversation so soon?”

Yongfu frowned: “You know … forget it.” She glanced at Xue Mu and pursed her lips. “If Liu Qinghuan is in trouble, what are you going to do?”

Xue Mu’s complexion was gloomy again because of the problem she was exporting, and the whole body’s killing spirit made Yongfu feel uneasy. She bit the corner of her mouth and said, “It’s said that the scourge has been left for thousands of years, and Liu Qinghuan is not like such a short-lived person.”

Xue Mu still walked fast and ignored her. Yongfu was angry and shouted, “Xue Mu, stop me!”

Xue Mu’s steps finally paused, and he turned around and asked, “What’s the matter with the princess?”

Yongfu stepped forward and looked straight at him. His eyes were dark, reflecting the stars in the sky and the beams in the palace, but he could not reflect himself.

He never saw himself in his eyes.

Yongfu looked at him for a long time and finally smiled in relief: “Xue Mu, if you told me that when you were dying seven years ago, it wasn’t me but Liu Qinghuan who stayed in your bed overnight, would you hate I?”

Xue Mu froze slightly and said, “No.”

Yongfu was a bit surprised: “Why?”

“Because I already knew that person was clear.” He paused, his voice low, “I can recognize her hand.” 2k novel reading network
