Dugu Heng looked at Xiao Xi and asked, "Auntie, what's wrong?"
Dugu Jinghua pursed his red lips tightly, his face darkened, and he hummed: "Zhu Lang was assassinated just now by a gang of people."
"Are you dead?" Dugu Heng asked.
Dugu Jinghua shook his head: "He was slightly injured..."
Dugu Heng interrupted her: "It's so blind that God is not dead!"
Dugu Jinghua glared at him angrily: "It doesn't make any difference whether he dies or not!"
"Then what is Auntie worried about?" Dugu Heng asked doubtfully.
Dugu Jinghua hummed: "A total of eight people were assassinated, and all of them used Xiaoyao Palm. What do you think I'm worried about?"
"Xiaoyao Palm?!" Dugu Heng frowned.
Dugu Jinghua looked at Li Muchan: "It seems that sir has guessed correctly, it was done by a master from Ouchi! ... The emperor's move was not pretty!"
Li Muchan smiled and said, "Too urgent?"
Dugu Jinghua hummed: "The time between Xiao Heng's assassination and Zhu Lang's assassination was too short, how could we have time to react?!"
Li Muchan smiled and shook his head: "That's not necessarily the case. What if you guys think of getting together and want to assassinate each other at the same time? ... Or Miss Ninth, you react quickly and take revenge immediately?"
Dugu Jinghua said: "How could such a coincidence come about?"
Li Muchan smiled and said: "There are no surprises in the world, so how can you be sure that there are none?"
Dugu Jinghua frowned and said, "So, we can't clean it up?"
Li Muchan shook his head: "This is not a conspiracy, it is a conspiracy. It is really amazing, I admire you!"
Dugu Jinghua frowned and pondered, thinking about a solution. Feng Mingxue was also thinking about it. Dugu Heng scratched the back of his head and said with a smile: "Brother Li, what do you think we should do?"
Li Muchan said: "One soft and one hard. If it's soft, go talk to Zhu Lang and explain it, or ask him to come over and take a look. If it's hard, don't bother."
Dugu Heng looked at Dugu Jinghua: "Aunt, do you want to tell Zhu Lang?"
Dugu Jinghua pondered: "Zhu Lang may not understand!...,'He would not believe that the emperor would harm the Zhu family, and would think that we were making it up!"
"Then deal with him!" Dugu Heng snorted: "If he is really that stupid, why are you so polite?"
Dugu Jinghua said: "We are not afraid of the Zhu family, but we can't get any benefits from a fight. The Zhu family is not a vegetarian. The Tang family and Zhao family will add insult to injury, and the royal family will not let go of the opportunity!"
"...What should we do?" Dugu Heng said.
Dugu Jinghua said: "I'll go there myself!"
"Aunt, no!" Dugu Heng hurriedly shook his head and said, "Zhu Lang is impulsive and reckless. He might take action in a fit of anger!"
Dugu Jinghua said: "He wouldn't dare."
Duguheng just shook his head and refused to agree.
Li Muchan said: "Miss Jiu, I will go with you.
Dugu Jinghua shook his head: "Sir, if you go, isn't it a demonstration?"
Li Muchan smiled and said, "I'll just cover up my true appearance, I'm afraid they won't be able to recognize her. I'm really worried about Miss Ninth going to be alone."
Dugu Heng nodded hurriedly: "I can rest assured that Brother Li is with you!"
"... Then there's Mr. Lao!" Dugu Jinghua nodded and smiled.
Dugu Jinghua left Dugu Mansion with Li Muchan without any bodyguards. Dugu Jinghua was wearing a black gown, which made his jade face look even brighter and flawless.
Li Muchan, on the other hand, was dressed in a fluttering blue shirt, with three long locks of beard under his chin, and frosty white eyebrows. He looked like a down-and-out scholar in his forties or fifties, but his aura was astonishing, like a roaring wave.
Not long after the two left the house, Li Muchan suddenly frowned, and Dugu Jinghua noticed something strange in his expression: "Sir, what's wrong?"
Li Muchan said: "There is someone in the dark."
"Are they from the Zhu family?" Dugu Jinghua asked. Fast update, August 1st Chinese
Li Muchan pondered for a moment and shook his head: "It may not be from the Zhu family, maybe it is a master from the inner circle... The key is that there is no one around, it's just my feeling!"
Dugu Jinghua thought for a while, shook his head and said: "Maybe he is a master of the Zhu family, let's take a look first."
Li Muchan nodded slowly with a sullen face, without turning around to look around, but his mind became tense, getting tighter and tighter, and he faintly smelled a hint of danger.
This feeling was very mysterious and vague. Others would think that he was delusional or allergic, but he was convinced and frowned.
This feeling is that others are plotting against you, so you need to be careful not to reveal it yet, otherwise you can see it with the Eye of the Void.
He took a step forward and walked in front of Dugu Jinghua. Dugu Jinghua looked at him, said nothing, and followed him quietly towards Zhu's Mansion.
As she walked, she was thinking about how to use her words to impress Zhu Lang. Zhu Lang was an upright person with no ambition, and he liked to show off his bravery and fights of spirit.
If you want to impress Zhu Lang, you must first show weakness, use softness to overcome strength, and confront him head-on. The result will definitely be a fight. Guys like Zhu Lang are short-sighted, do not take the overall situation into consideration, only care about face and morale, and cannot tolerate others' disobedience.
.
She is a woman, and it is not difficult to show weakness to others. This is what she is good at, but Zhu Lang may not believe that this matter was not done by the Dugu family.
In fact, there is no need for him to believe it. As long as he is given a step down, he will naturally not take action. With the current strength of the Zhu family, it is far inferior to the Dugu family. Once a war starts, they will only suffer.
But if he had the idea of borrowing troops from the royal family, that might not be possible. The outcome was unpredictable, so he said he had to come this time to appease Zhu Lang.
"Stop!" Li Muchan snorted softly. She was lost in thought when she didn't expect him to stop suddenly and bump into his back.
Li Muchan's breath suddenly penetrated into her heart. She stopped in a hurry and asked with a face: "Sir, what's going on?"
Li Muchan whispered: "There is something strange ahead, we can't leave!"
Dugu Jinghua whispered: "Is there an ambush?"
Li Muchan nodded: "Yes, let's take a detour!"
Dugu Jinghua nodded without hesitation: "On your orders, sir!"
Li Muchan wrapped his arms around Dugu Jinghua's soft waist, and suddenly disappeared from the spot, appearing on the roof ten feet away. They suddenly disappeared, and four old men in black floated over, looking around, their eyes flashing coldly.
His whole body was enveloped by Li Muchan's aura, and Dugu Jinghua felt hot all over. He blushed and squinted his eyes slightly, frowned, and shook his head.
Li Muchan knew that she was debating with these masters, and the look on her face was not that of the Zhu family.
The four old men looked around for a while and finally walked away. Li Muchan turned around and said, "Aren't they from the Zhu family?"
"No." Dugu Jinghua nodded and said, "I remember all the masters of the Zhu family, but they are not disciples of the Zhu family."
Li Muchan raised his eyebrows: "Do you remember them all?"
Dugu Jinghua smiled and said: "I still have some skills. The masters of the Zhu family have portraits. I remember them one by one. They are not."
"It seems that he is a great master." Li Muchan sighed.
Dugu Jinghua's face was gloomy. Although she thought about it, she still felt chilled when she saw it with her own eyes. She was silent for a moment and sighed: "Is he really a great master?"
Li Muchan said: "Since he is not from the Zhu family, and he is proficient in the dragon hand, he must be a master from within. Forget it, just avoid them."
"Sir, don't you want to kill him?" Dugu Jinghua asked.
Li Muchan shook his head: "If you are happy for a while, you will cause countless troubles. This emperor is not a fuel-efficient lamp, so it is better not to cause trouble."
He has murderous intent in his heart, but if he can't break the suppression of the holy weapon, it doesn't matter. Once he can break the suppression of the holy weapon, he can enter the palace and kill the emperor directly to avenge him. Now he is still honest.
Be subdued, the situation is stronger than the person.
"Sir, it's really rare." Dugu Jinghua sighed.
Having practiced martial arts to such a high level and at such a young age, it is inevitable for him to be arrogant and arrogant, especially when he cannot bear to be wronged. However, Li Muchan was wronged but still kept his face and restrained his spirit. It was really rare.
Li Muchan smiled bitterly and said: "If you don't do it for yourself, you can only do this for the sake of the sect."
It is a consistent principle that you need to endure humiliation when you bear a heavy burden. It is okay to suffer some grievances. You are not a rich young lady and a young master, so you will inevitably be immune to humiliation in life.
However, he has always had the desire for revenge and tried hard to think of ways to increase his strength, but he has never been able to find a way to do so.
Dugu Jinghua said: "How many people can't do this... let's go on?"
"Okay." Li Muchan nodded, held her waist, floated up, walked around in a big circle, and finally came to the front of Zhu's Mansion.
Four big men stood next to the stone lions, glaring at them. When they saw Dugu Jinghua and Li Muchan, their eyes lit up and they glared at them with their swords raised.
Li Muchan said in a deep voice: "Please let me know, Dugu Jinghua would like to meet the Master of the Zhu family."
"...Wait a moment." A shrewd middle-aged man said in a deep voice.
If it were an ordinary person, they would just drive them away. Not everyone could come to Zhu's Mansion, but seeing that Dugu Jinghua had a good demeanor and his surname was Dugu, he vaguely guessed his identity and did not dare to neglect him.
Over the years, the Dugu family has become more and more prosperous as it has the potential to be the number one among the four great families.
After a while, a middle-aged man came slowly, followed by eight old men in black robes. He came to the gate with a solemn expression, clasped his fists and said, "Miss Dugu is here to welcome you, and I welcome you from afar!"
Li Muchan took a look at this middle-aged man. He had a dignified appearance, but his complexion was swarthy, a bit inferior to Zhu Lang's. However, his expression was peaceful, which should not be underestimated.
Dugu Jinghua clasped his fists and said, "Fourth Master Zhu, how is the master of the family?"
Fourth Master Zhu said calmly: "I'm sorry that Miss Dugu is worried about you. The master of the house is fine. Is Miss Dugu very disappointed?"
Dugu Jinghua shook his head and sighed: "Just now, Xiao Heng and Tang Tang were attacked at the same time. They were almost killed by the dragon of your house. Before I could react, I heard that the head of the Zhu family was attacked. This matter is really strange. The head of the house
Isn’t it the Xiaoyao Palm that was hit?”
"...Not bad!" Fourth Master Zhu nodded slowly.
Dugu Jinghua said: "I think someone is deliberately causing trouble and secretly fanning the flames!"
"Who?" Fourth Master Zhu frowned.
He also got the news and felt something was wrong. The head of the family, Zhu Lang, hadn't woken up yet, so he didn't take any action. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Once the head of the family is not unconscious, no matter what the news is, there will definitely be a fuss.
Dugu Jinghua pointed to the north and sighed: "There is no one else who knows the secrets of our two houses. I want to visit the head of the Zhu family and discuss what to do.
"The master of the house hasn't woken up yet, let's wait for another day." Fourth Master Zhu said.
Dugu Jinghua nodded and said: "This matter needs to be investigated carefully. I also encountered an ambush on the way here, and I avoided it in advance. Fourth Master Zhu and the head of the family should be careful when they leave the house again."
After that, she didn't go in and just said goodbye with fists in her hands.
