Madam Mu, a weak widow who seems to have extraordinary temperament, who is her true identity? Why did she come to Xiangzhou City? What role does she play?
I looked at the ice silk handkerchief in my hand, and unconsciously thought of the dream I had not long ago, that beautiful and extremely real dream.
In the dream, Mrs. Mu was wearing a white gauze skirt and a white gauze bamboo hat. She was surrounded by a sea of flowers. I just caught up with her and picked off her bamboo hat... and then... I was ruthlessly woken up by my mother-in-law.
Fairy Baiyun!
Madam Mu also likes to wear white clothes, and her maiden name is Xian'er. For some reason, I have always had the feeling that Madam Mu has more of a chivalrous temperament.
Didn't Xiao Mu once suspect that there was something wrong with her? Why did Nuan Xin show up as Baiyun Fairy and he gave up his doubts about Mrs. Mu?
"Hey, brother Jianghu, look, is that the dragon catching the head?"
I had just gone to the horse market to return the horse in a state of uneasiness, and while I was idly thinking about my thoughts, Wang Jiajia grabbed my sleeve and pulled my soul back.
"Long Yuhan?" I scanned my eyes, and it was really true.
"Let's go, we have to tell him about Sister Nuanxin."
Pulled by Wang Jiajia, I quickly caught up with Long Yuhan and had to say hello awkwardly.
"Why are you still in the city?" Long Yuhan looked around nervously, then pushed me into the alley at the corner of the street.
"We sent Nuan Xin out of the city. After walking a mile, Nuan Xin woke up. She heard that you were going to take the blame for her, so she ran towards the city again. We...we don't know kung fu, how can we chase her?
Do you want her?" I lowered my head and said, after all, I couldn't do what I promised him, so I felt a little embarrassed.
"She's back in the city again?" Long Yuhan's face became even more nervous: "Why is she so stupid?"
"Oh, Sister Nuanxin said, let us help her return the veil to you." Wang Jiajia said, patting my arm: "Brother Jianghu, where is the veil?"
"Oh, here." I took out the ice silk handkerchief from my arms and handed it over, carefully observing Long Yuhan's reaction.
Long Yuhan's eyes were a little dull. He slowly took the silk handkerchief and held it tightly in his hand, with a wry smile on his lips: "She said, return the handkerchief to me? Hahaha, it seems I was really wrong.
"
"Long Captou, are you okay?" I asked carefully.
Long Yuhan let out a long sigh: "It's okay, I recognized the wrong person. Do you still remember the story I told you?
That year, when the five Tubo agents were hunted down outside the west city, my fat master, a total of seventeen agents, died heroically, my thin master lost a leg, and I was also hit by a poison dart.
Thanks to Fairy Baiyun, she tied this silk handkerchief around my shoulders to prevent the poisonous blood from attacking my heart. She also helped me inhale the poison with her mouth. This gave me the opportunity to wait for Doctor Du's antidote and save my life.
.
It has been almost three years. I look at this silk handkerchief every day, miss her, and look forward to her coming to Xiangzhou City again...
Unexpectedly, after waiting for so long, the person who was waiting for me was someone pretending to be her. And I stupidly allowed her to poison the imperial envoy..."
Wang Jiajia and I looked at each other. Regarding Nuan Xin, we already knew that she was not the real Fairy Baiyun, so we were not too surprised to hear what Long Yuhan said. The only priority was, was the imperial envoy dead or alive?
"The imperial envoy...is he really dead?" I asked again.
"have no idea."
"Ah?" I was a little confused by Long Yuhan's answer: "What do you mean you don't know? Do you want me to... perform an autopsy?"
"The body is gone." Long Yuhan sighed, feeling a little helpless: "After I handed Nuan Xin to you, I went back to the Governor's Mansion to apologize to Governor Lei, but I didn't find the imperial envoy's body."
"Ah? Did you swindle... swindle the corpse?" Wang Jiajia hugged my arm and looked panicked.
I shook her hand away: "What kind of fake corpse? Where did the ghost come from in this world? Maybe the imperial envoy simply faked his death. He must have been in a panic when Nuan Xin was poisoned, and he probably didn't do a careful autopsy."
Wang Jiajia shook her head: "But didn't Xiao Mu also say that the imperial envoy was dead?"
"What? Xiao Mu!" Long Yuhan grabbed my collar: "When did you see Xiao Mu?"
Seeing that the matter had come to this, I spoke frankly: "A quarter of an hour before you commissioned us to send Nuan Xin out of the city, Xiao Mu came to me and told us that the imperial envoy was dead and asked us to follow your orders."
"Hehe, hehehe." Long Yuhan let go of his hand, laughed and took a few steps back, with a look of helplessness on his face: "Xiao Mu... the imperial envoy... I... Hehe, I have never seen anyone who is such an official.
Son’s.”
"Long Captou, are you okay?"
"Hey, okay." Long Yuhan sighed, and finally calmed down again: "Don't worry about this, just go and do what you have to do!"
"Then...imperial envoy?"
"Haven't you heard? When the imperial envoy was the county magistrate in Yiling, the people called him the 'ghost magistrate'. What does it matter if he is alive or dead?" Long Yuhan said, waving to us and blending in.
Arrived in the crowd.
"Does he mean that the imperial envoy is not dead?" Wang Jiajia looked at me excitedly.
I pointed to the bustling street: "Look, how peaceful it is! If the imperial envoy died, would there be such peace? Let's go. After working for a long time, we went to Jianghu Inn to pick up the burden and go home."
Jianghu Inn is the place I am most eager to go to right now. I wonder if Madam Mu is still in the store at the moment?
I walked in the door anxiously and saw that the living room was packed. It seemed that their business was pretty good today.
"Jianghu? Are you here to get the burden? You can do whatever you want!" Uncle Fu glanced at me and went back to entertaining the guests.
"Hey, okay." I took a few steps back and unknowingly entered the yard leading to the guest room. I saw ropes tied between trees, and bedding and clothes were hanging all over the yard. Five steps away from me,
It is the corridor leading to the "Dizihao" room, and in the middle of the corridor are the stairs leading to the guest rooms on the second and third floors.
I couldn't help but look towards the third floor and saw Mrs. Mu leaning on the guardrail and smiling at us.
"Brother Jianghu, look, is that Mrs. Mu?" Wang Jiajia also noticed her.
Madam Mu hooked her fingers at us and headed towards Room No. 1 Tianzi.
"Brother Jianghu, does Mrs. Mu want us to find her?"
I was silent for a moment: "Go ahead. There are some things you still need to ask clearly."
We quickly went upstairs. The door of Room No. 1 was open. When we arrived at the door, we saw Madam Mu with her back to us, wiping a sword. The dark green scabbard was placed across the corner of the dressing table.
The ruby on the scabbard is dazzling. As for Madam Mu, she is still wearing a white dress at this moment, but she has a white gauze hat on her head, which adds a bit of mystery.
"Bai...Fairy Baiyun?" Wang Jiajia swallowed, asked softly, and involuntarily grabbed my sleeve with one hand.
Mrs. Mu turned around, and the white gauze on her bamboo hat fluttered slightly, while the piece used to cover her cheek hung down by her right ear, allowing us to clearly see her entire face.
She raised the sword flat in front of her eyes and inspected it carefully. She seemed to think it was very clean, so she smiled with satisfaction. She raised her wrist and put the sword back into the scabbard.
"Li Jianghu, is it you? Do you have a problem with me?"
"I..." I looked at Wang Jiajia nervously, and the two of them smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to answer for a while.
"Nuan Xin, follow me, don't worry." Madam Mu smiled and continued to wipe the scabbard with the handkerchief.
"Sister Nuanxin... where is she?"
"She is wandering around on the street at the moment. It's okay. Let her adjust her mood alone. I will take her in tomorrow."
"You...you are..." I stared at the handkerchief in her hand, feeling that I didn't have the confidence to speak.
"Haha, I have many nicknames. One of them is called 'Baiyun Fairy'. I didn't expect that there are still people pretending to be me." Madam Mu took two steps towards me: "What? Is there something unfair that you need my help with? Or?
…Did you pick up my veil again?”
"I……"
"Oh, the Dragon Catcher..." Wang Jiajia stood in front of me and said with a forced smile: "The Dragon Catcher has a silk handkerchief in his hand, which is very similar to... yours."
Madam Mu put down her sword and spread out the silk handkerchief in her hand: "This is made of ice silk. It is thin and white. It is warm in winter and cool in summer. It is the same in spring and autumn. I like it better. I bought it when I was wandering around Chang'an.
How many yuan, um, maybe three yuan.
One piece was given to Long Yuhan on the fifteenth day of winter in the fourteenth year of Tianbao to stop bleeding, but he still hasn’t returned it to me. The other piece was stained by Tu Laosan who covered his mouth on the night of the fifth day of June this year.
Later, you picked it up again and stuffed it in the crack of the counter in the living room; only this last piece is left, which is occasionally used to clean the sword.
What, what’s the problem?”
"Are you Fairy Baiyun? Tu... Tu Laosan was killed by you?" I felt my voice trembling, and my feet unconsciously took a few steps back until they reached the wall.
"That's right. He dared to molest me in the street. If I don't kill him, who should I kill? I'm a heroine. I always have to draw my sword to help when the road is rough. If I don't do something, wouldn't it be an insult to me?
Identity." Madam Mu looked innocent, like a child telling a story.
"Then...Nuan...Sister Nuanxin..." Wang Jiajia held my arms with both hands, and her whole body was trembling.
Madam Mu held the sword in both hands and hid it under the quilt. She then smiled at us and said: "The imperial envoy investigated several major cases and became famous. He led Nuan Xin to Xiangzhou City. Nuan Xin has been pretending to be a man in the past few years.
I commit crimes everywhere, including the cases in the past few months, except for Tu Laosan, it was all done by Nuan Xin, and I have long wanted to ask her to find out."
I swallowed: "Do you know the grudge between Nuan Xin and the imperial envoy?"
"Of course. Because I made a mistake in my plan back then, which led to Su Xin's tragic death. In order to make up for Nuan Xin, I not only let her leave the palace, but also secretly sent someone to escort her back home. I didn't expect that she was really persistent. After three years
For so long, I have lived for one hatred."
"Then...Long Yuhan...the person he is actually looking for...is you?"
"Yes." Madam Mu smiled slyly: "When I found out that Long Yuhan had been collecting my silk handkerchief for the past few years, I was also moved. So, I put down my figure and the face of a woman, and took the initiative to pursue him. But.
, but he ruthlessly rejected me again and again. Not only that, he also pushed me to his cousin Qin Yong.
It wasn't until he rejected my love in public that I realized that all he had been liking for the past few years was a heroine named 'White Cloud Fairy', or she was dressed in a white dress and a white gauze hat."
Wang Jiajia and I looked at each other: "You...since you are a heroine, why...why do you want to open such an inn? Why do you disguise yourself as an ordinary person?"
Madam Mu gently combed Wang Jiajia's hair on the left side of her face with her fingers, and said softly: "Do you want to live a carefree life? I do too! Being a heroine is too tiring, I just want to guard this inn and live my life.
Live a normal life and hide in the city, do you understand?" This chapter has been completed!
