107 The road to return is uneven (II)

At night, the evening breeze blew.

Summer is also coming quietly. Although it is not midsummer, it is not always accompanied by a cool breeze like in spring.

There is no moon tonight, and the clouds block the stars, making the night darker.

When he entered the inn, Mu Ziling kept following him and said that the couple should live together, but in the end he was locked outside the door by Ye Jiaoxi. Mu Ziling had no choice but to ask for another room, but Liu Wuqing beside him shook his head and chuckled for a while. The smile was filled with uncontrollable joy, not gloating, but as if he had seen hope.

Mu Ziling also noticed that although Ye Jiaoxi had promised that if he had not let him down, she would follow him, but she still felt a little resentful. Liu Wuqing also said something from time to time to time to suggest Mu Ziling's ambition and revenge, as if he was intentionally informing Ye Jiaoxi's palace was not suitable for a man like her. However, no matter what, Mu Ziling still made up such a determination, otherwise why would he have been searching for it for five years?

Their road is still long, and there will always be a day when they will be relieved.

However, Mu Ziling naturally would not think about what would happen to him if he encountered some choice. The road was still long, so there would be only a lot of conflicts in the future.

In the inn, Ye Jiaoxi coaxed A Tuan to sleep. Since being poisoned by the poison, A Tuan has recovered slowly and is often weak all over, so he is also sleepier. Liu Wuqing has been conditioning the whole way. Ye Jiaoxi has recovered faster and has not had any abnormalities in his body recently.

After A Tuan fell asleep, Ye Jiaoxi also turned off the light and lay down, and gradually fell asleep.

The seemingly quiet night always hides some uneasiness.

Under the cover of darkness, a masked man in a night-clad suit was approaching slowly next to the inn.

The silent night was like a tight string, and it suddenly broke out at some point, causing a shock.

The man in black had a sword in his hand, and he walked along the room of Mu Ziling and the others against the inn wall.

Not long after the man in black gradually approached, Mu Ziling, Liu Wuqing and Ye Jiaoxi opened their eyes one after another, but their different eyes were the same chill.

The so-called waves are not settled and the waves are about the situation they are facing now.

The men and soldiers in black came to the door of the three rooms in three groups, but did not rush in, but instead poked a hole in the window paper and reached into smoke.

The three people in the room were ready, Mu Ziling and Liu Wuqing held their breath, while Ye Jiaoxi wanted to protect A Tuan, so she hugged him and jumped down from the window and threw all those people to Liu Wuqing and Mu Ziling.

Due to the bumps, A Tuan slowly woke up, looked at Ye Jiaoxi, who was holding him on the stone bench in the backyard of the inn, and asked in confusion: "Mom, what happened? Why should I sit here?"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of fighting on the second floor of the inn. It was probably Mu Ziling and Liu Wuqing fighting with the men in black. Ye Jiaoxi looked up with a slightly cold look and said, "A Tuan, don't stay alone in the future, you must follow the adults firmly, do you know? It's really messy recently."

Upon hearing the sound of the fight, A Tuan shrank into Ye Jiaoxi's arms, "Mom, are they the ones who killed the leader of the alliance and poisoned A Tuan and his mother?"

Ye Jiaoxi sighed softly, "Maybe, they are here again."

After about half a cup of tea, Mu Ziling and Liu Wuqing also jumped down from the second floor and arrived in the backyard of the inn.

Seeing Ye Jiaoxi and A Tuan, Mu Ziling stepped forward and said, "How is it, is it okay?"

Ye Jiaoxi smiled pretty, "We will run away quickly, so it's natural that it's okay. But how about you?"

Liu Wuqing smiled slightly, "It's just a second-rate killer. It's no big deal. It can be solved in a few strokes. However, the pill they used seems to be a treasure."

Ye Jiaoxi and Mu Ziling were both shocked and looked at each other. Mu Ziling asked, "What kind of drug is it?"

"It is a drug called Lingluo. It can seal people's internal strength for a short time and makes people feel weak. However, this drug comes from the royal court of Landu, a small country in the Western Regions. It cannot be obtained or prepared by ordinary people."

"It's the Western Region again," Ye Jiaoxi frowned slightly.

She remembered that when Lei Xi was rescued, the poison in the guards guarding her was from the Western Regions.

Mu Ziling naturally knew about the news about the Su family villa, and he said, "Is it Mu Zijing again? When did his killer become so useless?"

"Maybe it just shocks us." Liu Wuqing said.

Mu Ziling said lightly: "He has always been very tricky. He either doesn't do it, and he will do it thoroughly. Such a shock is by no means his actions."

"Why? Do you deliberately not let us sleep?" Ye Jiaoxi gently stroked the back of Atuan who was gradually falling asleep and frowned.

Mu Ziling thought for a while and said, "According to my understanding of him, it is either that we can draw our attention away but that we have other purposes, or that those people are not sent by him at all. After all, I have also come into contact with many of his killers, and there is no such level."

"Who else will be there besides him? You have made so many enemies in the court?" Ye Jiaoxi said.

Mu Ziling smiled indifferently, "If you want to seize power, you will naturally make enemies." He understood this truth very early. Seizing power will always invade the interests of others, so naturally many people will not be happy to see this situation.

He naturally knew that it was the biggest mistake that he failed to sit on the dragon throne when the late emperor passed away. Whenever he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed by the empress dowager.

"Forget it," Liu Wuqing said, "Don't worry about this for now, let's take a break, I'll have to hurry up tomorrow."

Mu Ziling was about to nod, but heard Ye Jiaoxi say, "No, let's go all night long, I always feel that there are many dreams at night, and what is waiting for us in Jinchuan may not be peaceful."

No matter who sent the killer this time and who came for him, I am afraid that only by finding out the truth about the murder of Nan of Jiangsu can we solve the problem by following the clues.

Mu Ziling heard this and said, "Okay, it took a long time to go to Miaojiang this time, and the Jinchuan matter cannot be delayed any more."

"It's okay to travel overnight, but can the group bear it?" Liu Wuqing couldn't help but worry.

Ye Jiaoxi glanced at A Tuan who had fallen asleep and said, "I can only work hard for him."

"Then I'll go get the carriage." Liu Wuqing said, and then walked towards the stable. However, before walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped, as if he had thought of something, and turned around and said, "Slowly, how did they find us? Are there people following them all the way? If we follow them, we will definitely find it."

Ye Jiaoxi said: "The road from Miaojiang to Jinchuan is the closest, so it is not difficult for them to come."

Mu Ziling shook his head, "We had already rested early today. If we were on the usual road, we wouldn't have stopped at this inn." After thinking about it, he said, "Xi'er, do you remember the tracking technique that Xiao Qiulian used when he followed us?"
