Murong Shan? Qu Ling subconsciously looked at Xiao Jingyue, and saw that the man was also looking at her, her heart tensed up, and immediately glared back at him, "What are you looking for, what are you looking for me for?"

Xiao Jingyue retracted his gaze, lifted the curtain with one hand, and asked: "What is it?"

Murong Shan was standing by the side of the horse carriage, looking a little awkward.

After a long while, she whispered, "Brother Xiao, can I go back to Qi Jing with you?"

Xiao Jingyue said calmly: "This general has other matters to attend to and does not plan to return to the capital immediately."

"I can be with you …" Will you go together? I promise I won't cause any trouble! "

"No."

After Xiao Jingyue finished speaking, he did not continue to tangle with her and instructed Xiao Yi and the Xiao Er, "Let's go."

Xiao Yi and the Xiao Er looked at each other, cupped their hands towards Murong Shan and continued to drive the horse forward.

"Big Brother Xiao!"

Murong Shan looked at the carriage in front, and his eyes suddenly turned red.

Subconsciously, he wanted to give chase, but Madam Mu Rong's cold voice rang out from behind him, "Shan Er!"

Murong Shan stopped in his tracks, turned his head and looked at his mother, but did not give chase in the end.

The tears in his eyes couldn't stop falling down.

The servant girl led Second Madam out of the pavilion and did not follow her. She waited outside respectfully.

At some point, the door to the pavilion had been torn down and the road had become flat. The Second Madam turned the wheelchair and entered the building with a bad complexion.

Before she saw the person inside, she shouted in displeasure, "Didn't I say not to come look for me during the day? If the rest of the people in the manor knew about it, we would both die!"

A figure jumped down from the roof beam, his body slightly swaying, almost falling to the ground.

Second Madam's expression changed as she immediately went forward to support the man. "How did you get injured?"

"I met Murong Yan in the water room last night." The man in black said lightly. He gently brushed aside the Second Madam's hand and held onto a pillar to stabilize his body.

Second Madam suddenly thought of something and her face turned extremely unsightly.

Seeing this, the black clothed man frowned, "Could it be that the person beside you leaked the news?"

He naturally didn't doubt his Junior Sister's words. He needed her, and his Junior Sister also needed him. They were all grasshoppers that were tied to the same boat at the moment. Both of them would suffer losses, and both of them would suffer.

Second Madam was silent for a moment, then whispered about what happened at the lake last night, "I had originally wanted to see who was hiding at the tree, but Murong Yan suddenly appeared. It seemed that he wanted to protect that person on purpose, so I had to give up … "Presumably, the person on the tree should have told him about this."

The man in black's gaze turned cold as he questioned, "Since that's the case, why don't you let me pass at another time?"

If he had not met Murong Yan, he would not be in such a sorry state!

An awkward expression appeared on Second Madam's face. After a long while, she finally said, "When Huan'Er and I left the lake side, we met Second Manor Lord. I forgot about it all at once …"

She didn't finish her sentence and whispered, "Senior brother, I'm sorry."

The man in black knew how much his Junior Martial Sister liked the Second Manor Lord. Hearing her sincere apology, he gave a heavy snort and said, "There will be no more examples!"

Second Madam secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Inside another courtyard, Murong Yan was in her room bandaging the wounds on her arm. Suddenly, she heard a loud noise coming from outside, she raised her eyebrows, and asked: "What is it?"

A servant replied, "In reply to Third Young Master's words, I heard that …" When she heard that Liu'er had died yesterday, she … She's dead and alive again! "

Murong Yan's face changed slightly. He could not bother to treat half of his wound and immediately stood up to leave.

On the way to the Water Room, he bumped into Murong Qing who had also heard the news and rushed over.

"Elder brother." Murong Yan called out softly.

Murong Qing gently nodded, his gaze sweeping across his brother's bloodied arm, and slightly knitting his brows, "How did you get injured?"

Murong Yan told his brother about what happened last night, but Murong Qing did not say anything. The two brothers rushed to the water room, and were stunned when they saw Liu'er who had come back to life.

Murong Yan had heard of the matter regarding Huo Xinyi a long time ago, so he was alright.

Murong Qing was so shocked that he couldn't even speak, as if he couldn't believe it no matter what.

"Brother, please allow me to inform this matter to General Xiao and Ah Ling."

After that, Murong Yan told her about Huo Xinyi's matter as well as how Qu Ling was currently investigating the matter.

Murong Qing nodded and sighed: "Since that's the case, it's also good to let them know, and let them pay more attention on the road to Miao Boundary. It would be best if they could find out where that parasite came from."

His eyes suddenly turned cold as he continued, "The black-clothed person you spoke of shouldn't have left the Murong Villa yet. I will immediately order some people to search him and find him even if I have to dig three feet into the ground!"

Murong Yan lowered his eyes, cupped his hands, and replied: "Yes."

It would take at least five days to go from the Murong Villa to the Miao Boundary.

If he was willing to turn here for another day, he could still pass by the Southern Guarding Prince Palace. Qu Ling didn't really want to go to Xiao Jingyue's lair, so he said: "We should take the shortcut and return early."

Hearing that, Xiao Jingyue did not insist, and gently nodded his head.

The journey was long, and Qu Ling had nothing to do but panic. Suddenly, he thought of something and retrieved the Jade Scorpions and Blood Spiders from the small basket hanging on his waist, and started teasing them as if he was bored to death.

Xiao Jingyue raised his head from the book and was about to speak when the carriage suddenly jolted intensely.

The defenseless Qu Ling threw herself forward, scaring her so much that she quickly closed her eyes.

The expected pain didn't come. She suddenly felt a tightening sensation at the back of her neck. Half of her body was pulled back, while her back hit the man's chest.

Xiao Jingyue hugged the woman tightly, and shouted with narrowed eyes: "What happened?"

Xiao Er said: "There's an assassin!"

At the same time, the sound of swords clashing could be heard outside the carriage.

Xiao Jingyue listened intently for a while, his eyebrows knitted tightly. He let go of the lady in his embrace, then threw out the words "stay in the carriage and don't move about carelessly" and pushed aside the curtain, disappearing in a flash.

Qu Ling picked up the Jade Scorpion and the Blood Spider, looking at the curtain which was once again down, he wanted to say something.

Although the person who was afflicted with the poison would normally be no different from an ordinary person, if he were to run out of energy, or if his mind or body were to suffer from serious injuries, it would be extremely likely for him to trigger the Gu Worm that was hibernating, causing him to wake up early.

Although this pervert was so bad that people would even try to assassinate him when he was walking on the road, she couldn't ignore him because she had to be a widow if someone died!

Qu Ling lifted the curtain and looked outside. There were two groups of people fighting.

The perverted man was also in the battle. It seemed that he was not at a disadvantage for the time being.

However, the number of enemies was more than twice their number. Even if they continued to waste time like this, they still wouldn't be able to do anything.

She thought for a moment, then took out a porcelain bottle from her bag, pulled it out, and stuffed it into her mouth. She then took out a powder-like thing from her thumb and blew on it with both of her fingers.

"Shriek ~"

The black powder on the wooden board scattered and flew towards the group of men in black.

This was not some powder, but a very small bug.

These insects didn't have much killing power. They were just like the powder, they would itch continuously on the skin. The only difference between them and the powder was that this insect could listen to its commands and fly to attack the enemy.

"Damn it!" "What is that thing!"

Due to the interference of these things, the sword in the man in black's hand soon became disorderly. He wanted to avoid the incoming sword blades, but he also wanted to get rid of the incoming black bugs.

Xiao Jingyue returned to the carriage and lowered his head to look at Qu Ling.

Qu Ling's face reddened, as she glared back with her long neck, "What are you looking at, it's amazing how high you're standing!"

"Be careful!"

Someone suddenly shouted out loudly. Out of the corner of his eyes, Qu Ling saw a blinding light shoot towards him. Qu Ling's mind went blank for a moment as he froze in place.
