Xiao Jingyue's expression turned stern, and his figure turned into a blurry shadow as he rushed in front of Qu Ling.

With a wave of his hand, a sharp force emerged from his sleeve, blocking the hidden weapons.

After a short while, everyone heard a stuffy groan, and immediately after, they saw a grey figure fall down from the tree. The figure laid on the ground and twitched a few times, then spat out a mouthful of black blood.

Qu Ling looked at the grey-clothed man with a pale face, feeling a sense of dread in his heart.

The blood was black, clearly indicating that the concealed weapon was poisonous.

If it really stabbed into her body, she would be the one to turn into the one who would be lying on the ground spitting blood.

The black clad men who were beaten bad by the Dark Guard did not continue to fight. They immediately used their feints, and while the Dark Guard was unprepared, they quickly scattered.

Xiao Yi and the Xiao Er were about to bring people to chase after him when they were stopped by Xiao Jingyue, "Don't chase after someone who's in desperate straits!"

Those black-clad men didn't seem to be any different from those who had taken their lives. They held back when they attacked, as if they simply wanted to stop them.

The one who really wanted to kill them was the grey-clothed man who was trying to put on a show.

When Xiao Yi and the Xiao Er heard this, they immediately stopped.

Without waiting for Xiao Jingyue's orders, the two Dark Guard s brought the grey robed man to him.

Xiao Jingyue stood with his hands behind his back, and looked down at the grey robed man condescendingly, and asked coldly: Who sent you to assassinate this general's wife?

The grey-clothed man raised his head with much difficulty, looked at Xiao Jingyue, and then looked at the woman who was hiding behind him, who was still in a state of shock.

He suddenly coiled up his body and with a glare of his eyes, threw himself onto the ground.

It was completely still and completely dead.

Seeing that, Xiao Jingyue could not hide the disgust in his eyes.

He waved his hand and had his men throw away the corpse. Then, he turned around and went back into the carriage. He pulled the frightened woman into his embrace and kissed her hair. He asked gently: "Are you scared?"

Qu Ling did not reply.

The man laughed in a low voice next to her ear. "You can't be so cowardly."

Qu Ling rolled her eyes and pushed him away, then suddenly said, "I haven't washed my hair for half a month."

Her hair was so greasy that it made one's hair stand on end. Even she could not help but despise him for kissing her.

Xiao Jingyue's face froze as he looked at her hair.

After a long while, with a face of patience, he opened his mouth with no difficulty and said, "This general does not mind."

Qu Ling ignored him and looked away.

She was truly frightened.

This was the first time she had encountered such a thing ever since she came to this world.

He had personally witnessed the flash of a blade and had personally experienced the sneak attack. Once again, he was on the brink of death.

Such excitement could only be described as shock.

Seeing that, Xiao Jingyue instructed the people outside: "Continue to move."

Almost at the same moment his words left his mouth, he heard the sound of horses galloping over.

Hearing the sound, all the Dark Guard s gathered their full attention once again, firmly protecting the carriage as they stared unblinkingly in the direction of the sound.

Not long after, a male wearing the clothing of the Murong Villa appeared in front of everyone.

The man jumped down from his horse and took out a letter and a plate with the words "Murong" carved on it. He knelt down in front of Xiao Jingyue and said, "First Young Master ordered this subordinate to deliver a letter."

Xiao Er went forward and took the letter. After confirming that there were no tricks, he placed it in Xiao Jingyue's hands.

Xiao Jingyue opened the letter and read it in ten lines. He kept the letter and said to the man who delivered the letter in a bland voice: "Go back and tell him that this general knows about it."

Returning to the carriage, without waiting for Qu Ling to ask, he said: "The concubine that died yesterday is back to life."

Qu Ling was startled, "They're dead and alive?"

Xiao Jingyue nodded lightly.

This letter was not written by Murong Qing, but Murong Yan.

Perhaps it was because Huo Xinyi's matter at Zhijing was causing an uproar, even though he knew that this was a private matter of the Mu Rong family, he still ordered someone to send a letter to inform them of it.

"Do you want to go back and take a look?"

"No need. The reason we're going to the Miao Boundary is to check up on the Soul Sealing Parasite. "

Qu Ling also felt that it was reasonable, furthermore, compared to the life and death of her concubine, she was more curious about whether Murong Yan found anything after entering the Water Room last night.

However, when she thought of this matter, she suddenly thought of another matter. She changed the subject and asked, "Just now, were those assassins the same people you met that day when you were using the Gu?"

Xiao Jingyue did not reply. Instead, he smirked and asked: "Is Madam concerned about this general?"

Pausing for a moment, his eyes changed slightly as he said meaningfully, "Speaking of which, this general doesn't seem to have thanked the madam for saving me just now."

Qu Ling choked, her little face flushed red, as she said forcefully: "No need for your thanks, I'm not worried about you … You all, I'm just worried about my own little life.

He laughed softly and leaned over to place a kiss on her parted lips. He said in a low voice, "Madam, you don't have to worry. I will definitely protect you."

Her pupils abruptly constricted as her entire body froze.

Ever since he had become a wife, she could tell that he was teasing her.

This was the first time he called himself "husband" in front of her.

Because of his name, a slight ripple emerged in the well-guarded lake.

A matter of love, once touched, would be beyond redemption.

It wasn't easy for her to live a new life. She only wanted to eat, drink, and have fun in order to protect the important people beside her.

Emotions, she didn't want at all.

She shifted her gaze away from him and coldly harrumphed, "Who asked you to protect me!? "Shameless!"

Xiao Jingyue was about to speak when he inadvertently caught a glimpse of the girl's flushed ears. He was slightly startled, and then smiled.

He put the Jade Scorpion back into the basket and leaned against the carriage as he sat behind her. "If you get tired from sitting down, this general will lend you the pillow with your legs."

Qu Ling shouted without turning his head, "Go away! "No pillow!"

Xiao Jingyue did not get angry, the curve of his lips became even more pronounced.

Perhaps it was because of Qu Ling's bugs, other than the first day of attack, everything was fine in the following few days. Those black-clothed people no longer appeared.

The grey-clothed person who suddenly appeared didn't have anything else to say. He didn't see any of his companions along the way.

In the blink of an eye, five days passed.

On the morning of the sixth day, Qu Ling was woken up by Xiao Jingyue from his sleep.

She let him carry her off the carriage in a daze, staring at the scene before her with sleepy eyes for a long time. After a brief moment of blankness, her eyes suddenly widened.

Here is... Qu Ling asked in shock: "How do you know this place?"

Other than the few people in the Prime Minister Mansion, even the Murong Yan who was on good terms with her did not know which village her grandmother was in in in the Miao Boundary.

Xiao Jingyue did not reply, and asked softly: "Where does your maternal grandma live?"

"Over there." Qu Ling pointed in a direction.

The people of Miao Boundary were conservative and sealed, she had left for so many years and had not returned, but there were no changes here compared to when she left, the roads were still the same, the houses were still the same.

Seeing that, a smile surfaced in Xiao Jingyue's eyes, he looked straight into his eyes and ordered people to bring the items out from the carriage, then said to Qu Ling: "Madam, lead the way."

Qu Ling looked at the boxes, his heart moved, "You really brought gold, silver and jewelry here?"

Xiao Jingyue did not answer, he only said: "This is my first time meeting my senior, it is normal for me to prepare gifts."

"Who cares if you are looking for something unusual. I will ask you whether those boxes contain gold, silver, or jewelry!"

"..." Why don't you, Madam, guess? "
