Mu Siyu had just come out of the 'Dream Home' when she saw Lu Yi's carriage parked not far away. Lu Yi was standing next to the carriage with his back facing her direction.
She lifted up her long skirt, trotted over, and pounced on Lu Yi when she was about to approach him.
Lu Yi noticed something and turned back, just in time to catch her dangerous pounce.
"Be careful." Lu Yi was helpless and amused at the same time, "The ground is covered with snow. What if you fall?"
"My husband is very skilled, he can definitely catch me!" Mu Siyu put her arms around his neck and said sweetly, "What kind of wind is it today that Master Lu came to pick me up?"
"Ahem..." A slight cough came from the carriage.
Lu Yi suppressed his smile, leaned into her ear and said, "Master Qi from the Dark Law Department is inside."
Mu Siyu let go of him and looked in the direction of the carriage.
This is the Lu family's carriage. Why is the moody and intangible Master Qi from the Dark Law Department in it?
A slender hand opened the curtain, and Qi Xiao, who was wearing a mask, looked in the direction of Mu Siyu coldly: "Mrs. Lu, I need your help this time."
Mu Siyu looked at Lu Yi without knowing why.
Lu Yi said to Qi Xiao: "Master Qi, Madam doesn't know anything. Why don't you give us half an hour? I need to explain something to her, and she also has to arrange things at home."
"Okay, meet you at the city gate in half an hour."
"What's going on?" Mu Siyu asked Lu Yi.
Lu Yi explained the whole story.
Today he was handling a case in Dali Temple. Qi Xiao from the Dark Law Department suddenly appeared and called him away. He also said something - Mr. Lu, I want to use your wife this time.
"I don't understand the affairs of the DPRK, so what do you want me to do?"
"He said that you are good at mechanism skills. A very important subordinate in his hand was captured. He was rescued, but he was locked in a box. If the box was forcibly destroyed, the people inside could not be saved, so it is necessary to
You go with him and use your ability to save that subordinate."
"Um……"
"I will accompany you."
"Is it far?"
"It will take about two or three days."
"Then I'll go home first and tell the housekeeper and nanny, in case Xiao Qing'er doesn't find us and gets angry."
Half an hour later, Mu Siyu and Lu Yi got into the carriage. Qi Xiao got out of the carriage and followed on horseback.
It took two or three days to travel in the middle of winter, and the road was not easy to walk. Fortunately, she brought a lot of warm babies, so she could barely survive. In addition, there was a blanket in the carriage, so she covered herself with the blanket and nestled under Lu Yi's bed.
In her arms, her childhood was so happy. Even if she took a break on the road, she would not come out. She only had to come out to deal with three emergencies.
"Master Lu, come out and talk." Chen Ling shouted from outside.
Lu Yi said to Mu Siyu in his arms, "I'm going out for a while."
"Yeah." Mu Siyu hummed, leaning back and yawning.
Lu Yi and Qi Xiao were talking about something, looking back at the direction of the carriage from time to time.
"Since the front is blocked, we have no choice but to take a detour." Lu Yi said, "But you have to make sure whether it is a real avalanche or a man-made one."
"My people will take care of it," Qi Xiao said.
Before dark, they arrived at a town and stayed there for the night.
Qi Xiao booked the entire inn.
Mu Siyu lit the brazier brightly, and after dinner, she lay on the bed to rest.
At night, Lu Yi covered Mu Siyu's ears and held her tightly in his arms.
The air is full of the smell of blood.
The last two nights have been like this. As soon as night comes, all kinds of assassinations appear.
Those people came for the Department of Dark Law.
Lu Yi just protected Mu Siyu and did not need to wade into the muddy waters of the Dark Law Department.
Mu Siyu grabbed Lu Yi's arm and hugged his waist tightly, pretending that she couldn't hear anything.
During this period of time, they clearly understood the methods of the Dark Law Department. Fortunately, Mr. Qi from the Dark Law Department had no ill intentions towards them for the time being, otherwise it would have been really difficult to deal with them.
The next morning, Mu Siyu found that the owner of the inn was missing, and so was the waiter. The person in charge of breakfast was actually Qi Xiao's subordinate.
Mu Siyu didn't ask, they didn't discuss it, they just had breakfast and continued on their way.
According to the current progress, we can reach the place they mentioned today.
When they were on the road, Mu Siyu found that the number of people brought by the Dark Law Division was less than half.
There must have been a tough battle last night, and the Dark Law Department suffered such losses.
"Is there something wrong, Mrs. Lu?" Qi Xiao looked at Mu Siyu.
Mu Siyu looked at Qi Xiao's arm and saw blood seeping out there.
She shook her head: "It's okay."
After saying that, he got on the carriage.
At this time, an arrow shot over.
Qi Xiao heard the sound of breaking through the air and grabbed the arrow.
The arrow was only a slap away from Mu Siyu's chest.
Mu Siyu was shocked and looked at Qi Xiao.
Qi Xiao's palms oozed blood, and the blood flowed dripping.
Seeing that the archer had failed, the archer turned around and withdrew.
"There is no need to chase." Qi Xiao called to his men. "There are not many of us left now, so we can't be separated anymore. The other party may just want to lure the tiger away from the mountain, so as not to fall into their cunning plan."
"Master Qi, you are injured." Mu Siyu said, "Husband, please bandage Master Qi first."
"No need." Qi Xiao said, walking to the side and letting his men bandage him.
Mu Siyu looked in his direction and said to Lu Yi: "It was so thrilling just now. If it weren't for Mr. Qi, you wouldn't be able to see me."
Lu Yi was far away just now. If Qi Xiao hadn't blocked him, Mu Siyu would indeed have been in great danger. Now that I think about it, I'm really scared.
He touched her hair: "It's my fault that I didn't take a good look at you."
A few hours later, they finally arrived at the place Qi Xiao mentioned.
It was the basement of a gambling house.
The person Qi Xiao was talking about was locked in a big box, and the big box was sealed, leaving only two holes for the people inside to breathe.
"Is he still alive?" Mu Siyu said, "The box is sealed like this, and the people inside can't even eat."
"Fortunately, the hole is not small. We threw some minced meat into it and he was able to eat it. But even so, it would be a disaster if we didn't rescue him."
Mu Siyu observed the box.
She finally understood why Qi Xiao asked her for help.
This box does not have a switch on the surface, but is made of pieces of broken wood, which is similar to the style of Luban building blocks.
It sounds like there is a mechanism inside this sound. If it is forced to be opened, the people inside will be injured by the mechanism, and only a ball of flesh and blood will be left after they are rescued.
"I need tools." Mu Siyu turned around and said to the person next to her, "I have nothing now. Please help me find a set of tools for a carpenter."
"Have you thought of a solution?" Qi Xiao asked from the side.
"Absolutely!" Mu Siyu said, "This thing looks complicated, but the principle is actually very simple."
