The carriage set off quickly the next day. Except for Mu Qingwan and Xia Houlie, there was only one Leng Ji accompanying them. All three of them changed their faces and disguised themselves as traveling businessmen, while the Long Shadow Guards were secretly protecting them.

Piaomiao Peak is located at the border between Western Chu and Beiyan. It belongs to the line of Xuanbing Mountain. It has a very high altitude. The top of the mountain is covered with snow all year round. The mountain is full of treasures, but it is also dangerous everywhere. Mu Qingwan lives in Piaomiao Peak in Xuanbingshanding.

Over the past eight years, I have seen many people become delicacies in the mouths of wild beasts in order to get rich overnight.

After traveling for nearly a month, with the protection of the Dragon Shadow Guards, they arrived at the foot of Xuanbing Mountain without incident. During this month, the master's reply still did not come. The closer she got to Piaomiao Peak, the more uneasy Mu Qingwan felt. She

There is a unique way of communicating with the master, and generally it will not be intercepted by others unless something happens to the master.

As if aware of her mood swings, Xia Houlie reached out and held her hand. It was already winter, especially at the foot of Xuanbing Mountain. The temperature was frighteningly low. She was born with cold body. Although there was a charcoal pot burning in the carriage,

But Mu Qingwan's hands were still as cold as two pieces of ice jade.

He reluctantly brought her hands to his mouth and breathed. After they were slightly warmer, he said:

"Wan, what's wrong? You've been restless these past few days."

In the past month, although the toxin has not fully taken effect, his eyes have completely lost sight and his legs have become useless. Only his hands can still move, but they are gradually losing strength. In fact, his mood

It was also extremely complicated. He couldn't be sure whether he would be alive or dead when he went to Piaomiao Peak.

However, whenever he thought of leaving this world and leaving Qingwan, his heart ached so much that he couldn't even sleep. Coupled with the long journey, his body became weaker and weaker. In the past month, he had lost a lot of weight.

Mu Qingwan didn't expect that his senses were so sharp, so she quickly got into his arms and whispered comfortingly:

"It's nothing, it's just that Master hasn't replied for so long. I'm worried that something happened to his old man."

He stabilized himself on the top of her hair and comforted softly: "Didn't you say that we have arrived at the foot of Xuanbing Mountain? We will know the reason soon. Besides, your master is so powerful, how could something happen?"

Mu Qingwan nodded, lifted the car curtain and looked outside. The sun was already setting in the west. It seemed that she would have to find an inn to stay overnight before heading up the mountain tomorrow.

Xuan Bingshan is almost inaccessible except for those who want to dig treasures on the mountain, so there is only one inn at the foot of the mountain. Leng Ji drove the carriage to a stop in front of the inn, took Xia Houlie out of the car, and Mu Qingwan took the baggage.

Following behind, the three of them asked for two upper rooms and some food and drinks. Just as they were about to go upstairs, two big men in black suddenly came in from the door of the inn. They both wore bamboo hats and their faces were covered by the black gauze in front. Look.

He doesn't look good, but he definitely doesn't look like a nice guy.

Mu Qingwan only glanced at it, then winked at Leng Ji, signaling to hurry up and go upstairs.

Xuan Bingshan is inaccessible, and the people who come in and out of this inn are either greedy people who risk their lives for money, or desperadoes who come here to avoid disaster. Although they are secretly protected by secret guards, the three of them are wearing coarse cloth.

The clothes and appearance have also been modified and become extremely ordinary, so that they will not attract anyone's attention or covet, but it is better to be careful. Besides, Xia Houlie's illness will not delay for many days, so it is best not to make any mistakes.

Leng Ji has been walking around the world for many years, so he naturally knows how powerful she is. He looked at her and carried Xia Houlie upstairs on his back.

Mu Qingwan hurriedly followed, but she always felt uneasy in her heart. She couldn't help but look quietly at the lobby below as she walked. At this moment, the two men in black had picked up a table and sat down, talking softly.

While taking off the bamboo hat on his head.

It didn't matter. When she saw their faces, Mu Qingwan felt that her heart was about to jump out of her chest. She quickly turned her gaze back, and then she breathed a sigh of relief after entering the room and closing the door.

Xia Houlie had already sat down on the chair. When he heard her breathing, his eyebrows suddenly furrowed: "Wan, what's wrong?"

Mu Qingwan carefully turned around and took another look to make sure there was no one outside. Then she walked over and sat down opposite him, motioning for Leng Ji to sit down as well, and then said:

"We have to be careful tonight. The two men in black who came in behind us just now are from Helian Hengzhi. I have seen them before in Dongmo Palace."

Xia Houlie's face suddenly became condensed, "Helian Hengzhi? Why are his people here? And by coincidence, he followed us into this inn? Has he already discovered our whereabouts?"

Leng Ji thought for a while and said: "My subordinates think it's not the case. If he found us, he should have taken action on the way. He wouldn't have waited until now. Maybe it was just a coincidence."

Mu Qingwan nodded, "Yes, Leng Ji is right, let's not get into trouble first. But I can't figure out why Helian Hengzhi sent people to Xuan Bingshan... Could it be that he is also looking for Master?"

"According to the investigation by my subordinates, Helian Hengzhi and Yun Lanshan have indeed fled to the south, and they seem to have a quite ambiguous relationship with the prince of Nanling. My subordinates have never dared to alert the snake, but sent people to keep an eye on them secretly."

"You did the right thing." Xia Houlie tapped his big hand on the table, "Don't forget to send people back to the capital immediately to tell the Sixth Prince if they make any movement, asking him to adapt accordingly. According to my estimation, they want to fight with the Nanling Prince.

Whether the collusion is just against Dongmo or Beiyan is unclear."

Mu Qingwan saw him habitually tapping on the table again, reached out and held his hand, and said distressedly:

"Hey, you're not in good health right now, so don't worry about these things."

Xia Houlie grabbed her hand and held it steady beside Chun, with a happy smile on his lips, "I know, housekeeper."

Mu Qingwan didn't expect him to do this in front of Leng Ji, so she slapped his hand away and complained in a low voice with a red face:

"Leng Ji is here, it's not serious to be sick."

Leng Ji also blushed slightly, coughed twice quickly, and stood up while waving his hands: "Ahem...I didn't see anything, you continue, continue...I'll go to the next room to pack things, and check if the food has arrived.

."

After saying that, he walked out of the door. Mu Qingwan immediately squeezed Xia Houlie's hand, dumbfounded, but was pulled hard by his hand and sat down on his lap. Mu Qingwan began to struggle:

"Put me down quickly, your legs are not weak..."

Before she could finish speaking, he stopped her in a low voice:

"Wan, stop moving, my body can't bear it..."

Mu Qingwan jumped up in shock, grabbed his shoulders anxiously and asked, "What's wrong? What's wrong? Tell me quickly."

But he pulled her back again and hugged her tightly, his hot breath spraying on her face, and even her breathing began to become unstable. She looked anxiously, moved her body and was about to speak, when she suddenly touched a place.

She heard his soft hum in her ears. Only then did she know what he meant when he said "my body can't bear it." She felt that her face was so hot that it was almost burning.

"Wan, Wan..." He hugged her tightly, his voice was extremely hoarse, and the veins on his forehead popped out.

Mu Qingwan didn't dare to move anymore, for fear of making him move even more, which would be bad.

The two hugged each other quietly, and the only sound left in the quiet room was Xia Houlie's slight breathing. After waiting for a long time, Xia Houlie became calmer, and his handsome face was full of annoyance:

"Damn it, I really wish I could get rid of the poison right away."

Mu Qingwan's face felt hot, but she knew how hard it was for him to endure it. For a man, this was indeed inhuman torture, so she could only comfort her softly:

"Be good, when you get better, you can do whatever you want."

He bit her cheek hard: "You've been waiting for me for so long, and if you don't compensate me after waiting, I'll really be suffocated to death."

Mu Qingwan blushed and reached out to hit him, but there was a sudden knock on the door. She punched him on the chest, quickly slid off his bed, reached out and patted her face to let herself go.

It's normal, then go and open the door.

As soon as Leng Ji entered the door, she saw Mu Qingwan's red face and Xia Houlie's dark face. Knowing that she came at the wrong time, she secretly regretted it. She quickly put down the plate and was about to leave, but was stopped by Mu Qingwan:

"Where are you going when it's time to eat?"

Leng Ji glanced at Xia Houlie who was sitting subconsciously, and said quickly: "I...I'll go next door to eat..."

After saying that, she was about to run away. Mu Qingwan followed his gaze and glanced at Xia Houlie. It was indeed as dark as the bottom of a pot, but it was just the right time for Leng Ji to come. She couldn't let him slip away like that, so she hurriedly

Grabbing him and taking him to the table, "Why go next door? Didn't we all eat together in the past? Sit down, sit down..."

Leng Ji swallowed his saliva, blinked his big eyes, and gave the master opposite him a pitiful look, "But..."

Mu Qingwan was amused. Knowing that Xia Houlie was silent, he would never sit down, so she had no choice but to tug on his sleeve and signal him to say something.

Xia Houlie pinched her waist and then said:

"Sit down when I tell you to, but what the hell!"

There was still a strong sense of ill-will in his tone. Leng Ji touched the back of his head and quickly sat down without delaying. Mu Qingwan pursed her lips and smiled softly. This master and servant pair were really...

He filled a bowl of rice with Xia Houlie's favorite vegetables and started to feed him. The three of them chatted while eating. Halfway through the meal, a voice suddenly came from the next door. The voice was thick and lazy, with a hint of drunkenness, "Hiccup"

...Why do you think the master sent us to this inhospitable place? The food is not good, the shelter is not good, and we are freezing to death. If I were the King of Beiyan, I wouldn't..."

Halfway through his words, his mouth seemed to be covered, and then he remembered a low warning:
Chapter completed!
