At dawn after the rain, there is a clear smell of moisture in the air, and the breeze blowing on your face makes you feel particularly comfortable. However, the sky is unpredictable, and there are occasional signs of wind and rain, and the sun is shining brightly in the sky, so it can be cloudy or sunny at times.
After lunch, Mu Tianxue and others sat in the tavern and took a short rest. First, they were waiting for the guards who were exploring the road to come back and report, and second, they were waiting for the results of Lai Yi and Hong Yi's investigation.
"Master, we found out that the poisoner was among them. According to the shopkeeper, a handyman came to the tavern yesterday, and the handyman took over these dishes.
Just after we settled in the tavern, the handyman disappeared. My subordinates thought that it must be those people who sneaked into the tavern and took the opportunity to poison the utensils and kill people with borrowed knives. If it works, we will be the only ones to be involved. If it fails, they can also get out of the way.
."
Hongyi, who was in plain clothes, grabbed the shopkeeper and came to Long Chenyi, and respectfully replied.
"Master, everything I said is true. I dare not lie a little. That poison was really not caused by Xiao. I hope you will do well and be merciful and spare my life." The shopkeeper knelt down with a look of horror on his face.
On the ground, the old man begged with tears streaming down his face.
Long Chen also glanced at the shopkeeper with sharp eyes, took a sip of tea, and said in a cold voice: "What you said is true. If you dare to lie even a little, you will be buried with you in this tavern."
The voice was very soft and faint, but every word fell into people's hearts. Hearing it made people tremble with fear and break out in cold sweat. However, he couldn't help but tremble, and his whole body was chilled to his bones. It frightened the shopkeeper out of his wits. "Master, you are aware of this.
Every sentence is true, if there is any deception, I would rather be struck by thunder!"
The shopkeeper knelt on the ground, his old bones shaking extremely violently. When he heard that he was buried with him in the tavern, he was so frightened that he lost his urination. His face was pale and bloodless, and his teeth were chattering. He was afraid that if someone roared again, he would be killed.
It scared the living daylights out of him.
Seeing that the shopkeeper was so frightened that he lost his mind in front of the emperor, Lai Yi hurriedly grabbed the shopkeeper's hand and threw it in front of the counter. He turned to Long Chen and asked for instructions, "Master, how should they deal with them? Kill them or keep them?"
"Ah... don't, don't... kill me." When he heard Lai Yi's last words, the shopkeeper finally couldn't bear the fear, screamed in fright, rolled his eyes and fainted.
"Kill them or not, they will all die. After we leave, the shopkeeper and the waiters, I'm afraid none of them will survive," Mu Tianxue said casually while playing with a strand of black hair on his head and chest.
Long Chen also narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at the shopkeeper who had passed out. He knew that after they left, the shopkeeper and the clerk would be killed. No matter whether the poison was poisoned by them or not, they would not be able to escape death in the end.
He raised his eyes to look at the uncertain weather outside, and said solemnly: "Have the people who went to investigate returned yet?"
"Go back to the master, the person who opened the way has returned." The guards stationed outside the tavern saw the guards rushing back and hurriedly reported back to Long Chen.
"I'm telling you, Master, the hundred miles ahead are safe to travel. There are no landslides or road difficulties." At this moment, the guard who hurried back got off his horse and respectfully replied.
Liancheng squinted his blue eyes and looked at the sky outside thoughtfully. The clouds were not clearing, and the storm was rising. It was a sign that the storm was about to come, and he was afraid that it would not be long before it started to rain heavily.
After a long silence, he said leisurely: "Seeing that the rain is coming, if you go forward, you may be in danger. What's more, this mountain road is not easy to walk, and it will be even more dangerous if it rains heavily. You see, if you want to
Don't stay and wait for this heavy rain to pass before continuing on your way."
Mu Tianxue walked out of the tavern and looked up at the glimmer of light above her head. Now it was covered by dark clouds, and the sky was getting darker. The storm was about to come, so it was really not advisable to rush.
If she was attacked again on the way, she would definitely be at a disadvantage. She turned to look at Long Chenyi, but she heard that Long Chenyi was telling Lai Yi, "Prepare a few rooms, wait for this heavy rain before continuing on the road, the entire tavern is strengthened."
Be on guard and no one is allowed in or out."
"Yes, Master," Lai Yi said respectfully, turned around and walked to the second floor. He ordered people to clean up a few upper rooms and let them go. He also released a few clerks and the unconscious shopkeeper, and told them that as long as they were taken care of, they would be fine.
Won't kill them.
Sure enough, not too long ago, a strong wind whipped up, and big raindrops fell with a crackling sound, kicking up invisible dust all over the ground. The sky at noon turned out to be as gloomy as night.
The inside and outside of the tavern were heavily guarded by guards. Even in the pouring rain, they still wore raincoats and stood firm at their posts, without making any sloppiness or running away.
When the heavy rain came, Mu Tianxue carried her son up to the second floor, watched her son practice martial arts in his room for a while, and then got up and returned to his room when he felt tired.
Long Chen was lazily leaning on the couch and flipping through books. When he saw Mu Tianxue entering the room, he turned over lightly, stepped forward and carried Mu Tianxue to the couch, stretched out his big palm to rub her gently.
Pinch your legs.
Mu Tianxue leaned on the soft couch and watched Long Chen massaging her so gently. The warmth of his hands warmed her heart through his palms, making her feel warm.
Long Chen also raised his eyes to look at Mu Tianxue and saw her looking at him with a smile on her face, "How are you feeling? Are you feeling better?"
Mu Tianxue bit her red lips and nodded to him, "Well, you served me well. It seems that you have the potential to be a masseur!"
Long Chenyi's starry eyes were slightly narrowed, and his handsome face was full of black lines. Massage boy? What did this woman think of him? He only went to read and learn in private for her sake. She didn't appreciate it, so she just thought he was a masseur.
Little brother?
Looking at Long Chenyi whose face was full of black lines, Mu Tianxue reached out and pinched his handsome face and burst into a series of laughter, "I'm teasing you, don't be so stingy!" By the way, the pressure he pressed was really comfortable, "
When did you learn to massage?”
He found that the points he pressed were all acupuncture points on her legs. If he hadn't bothered to learn, he wouldn't have been able to press so accurately and so comfortably.
"Why bother to learn such a simple thing?" Long Chen also said as he moved his fingers to the soles of Mu Tianxue's feet and pressed hard with his index finger knuckles. He saw Mu Tianxue gasping for air and trying not to scream.
He yelled, "Does it hurt?" he asked with a smirk.
Mu Tianxue gritted her teeth, looked at him and nodded, and it took her a long time to say one word: "It hurts!!"
But the pain was so satisfying. She had often massaged her foot points in her previous life. After the pain passed, she felt even more relieved.
Long Chen also raised his lips and smiled, "It's okay if it hurts. According to Chinese medicine, if it hurts, it will block the flow, and if it hurts, it won't hurt." Then he pressed the heart and lung points on the soles of her feet.
Mu Tianxue gritted her teeth tightly, and she broke out in a cold sweat because of the pain. This body was not massaged regularly like in her previous life. This was the first time in this dynasty that she pressed the foot acupoints. If she said it didn't hurt, it must be true.
Moreover, she had not rested well at all in recent days, and the acupuncture points on her body were naturally swollen and sore.
Being pressed like this by Long Chenyi, apart from feeling a heartbreaking pain, he also felt extremely comfortable.
