Mu family's little lucky girl

Chapter 230 Retaliation (Two in One)

People come and go on the bridge.

Zhong Shanghui was wearing a copper mask and a suit of fine fabric, followed by Zhao Fan, Gao Qing, Lu Chao and Zhao Changan, and behind Zhao Changan followed Cheng Yun.

Early in the morning, there were dozens of people in Qinghe, which easily attracted the attention of pedestrians, Zhong Shanghui and Zhao Fan.

At first they thought it was ordinary people, travelers, or merchants who deliberately jumped into the river in order to experience the customs of Shilipo, and they didn't think in other directions at all.

Some people couldn't bear the itching on their bodies and went ashore cursingly. Some people were still searching in the river seriously, diving under the water for a while to find it, floating up for a while to take a breath, and then diving down to search again.

The two sides met unexpectedly on the bridge.

Except for Zhao Chang'an and Cheng Yun, no one else recognized Chen Xiao and Mu Li.

Including Gao Qing.

His palm is still wrapped in a thick bandage.

When seeing Chen Xiao and Mu Li, he just regarded them as ordinary pedestrians.

Zhao Chang'an had seen Princess Qingyang and Muli appear together, and he knew Princess Qingyang's current whereabouts, so the moment he saw Muli appearing here, he understood.

The Princess Qingyang that the people from Wuji Pavilion brought back yesterday is a fake!

The real Princess Qingyang is not here at all!
After thinking about it all night, Zhao Changan didn't even understand, when did Princess Qingyang become so brave and intelligent?

Not only can you think of a way to pour people out of medicine, but you dare to climb to the roof to eavesdrop on their conversation?

This is completely different from what he investigated.

It's not that Zhao Chang'an didn't think about it, the people from Wuji Pavilion arrested the wrong person, but according to the account of the first and second man, they arrested Princess Qingyang.

Such as fake replacement!

Gao Qing was also present to testify.

He is also the one who has seen Princess Qingyang.

Now it appears that the mystery has been solved.

No wonder Zhao Fan sent people to search from house to house, but did not find Princess Qingyang's whereabouts.

She must have used some kind of disguise to trick everyone.

Thinking of this, Zhao Chang'an sincerely admired Mu Li.

At such a young age, he was so courageous and resourceful.

After taking off the disguise, seeing a few of them, they can still act calmly. There are not many men who can match this courage and courage.

Don't look at Mu Li's calm face, but he has already thought of various ways to deal with these people in his heart.

She is a person who likes to take care of injustice, especially things that bully the weak and oppress the people.

And they were the murderers who killed Mr. Chen's father. If she didn't do something, she would be sorry for her conscience.

Mu Li's brain was running at high speed, thinking about how to deal with these people without anyone noticing.

However, she also knew that her tidying up was just a trivial matter, which was irrelevant to them.

To really attack them, avenge Mr. Chen's father, and eradicate evil officials for the people of Xingzhou County, is to collect evidence, find all the evidence of their evil deeds, and then present it to the emperor.

Most importantly, find hard evidence of their rebellion.

Last night, she heard with her own ears that they were discussing the matter of recruiting troops.

This Zhao Fan, Qipin County Magistrate of Xingzhou County, in order to support Zhong Shanghui's decision and repay his kindness for knowing him, was able to give out 20 taels of silver in one go.

Before he became the county magistrate of Xingzhou County, he was just a small pickle vendor. Although he had a surplus every year, he didn't make much money all year round. Do everything you can.

There is no bottom line.

He made a lot of money in the pickle business.

However, no matter how much money you earn, scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen are also at the bottom.

In order to change his own background, Zhao Fan finally got acquainted with the nobleman in his life-Zhong Shanghui by virtue of his shamelessness.

Suddenly, there was a frantic barking of dogs on the bridge.

It happened that a young chicken dealer was walking towards Muli with a chicken coop. The barking of the dog startled the chickens in the cage. Coincidentally, the chicken coop was not closed tightly, and the chickens inside were scared away.

"Oops! My chicken! My chicken!"

The young chicken dealer hurried to catch chickens.

The scene was in chaos.

Chickens and dogs jump.

Mu Li pursed her lips and smiled.

Show treachery.

The opportunity is here.

In the confusion, she kicked Zhao Fan's ass.

Zhao Fan was caught off guard, and hurriedly waved his arms, trying to stabilize his body.

thump!
There was a splash of water.

Zhao Fan fell into the water steadily!

Everything happened too fast and too suddenly, before everyone could react, Zhong Shanghui suddenly felt kicked on his ass.

In the next second, there was a plop.

The whole person also fell into the water.

Neither Zhao Fan nor Zhong Shanghui knew how to swim, they kept struggling in the water, shouting for help, and in the face of death, they completely lost their arrogance.

"Help!"

"Help me! I can't swim!"

Seeing this, Gao Qing and Lu Chao's expressions changed drastically, and they immediately jumped off the cross bridge.

Mu Li didn't sympathize with them at all.

Sneer.

Turning around, he wanted to take advantage of the chaos and kick Zhao Changan again.

She decided that this man was with them, so her impression of Zhao Chang'an plummeted, and she immediately classified him as her enemy.

If it is said that when he kicked Zhao Fan for the first time, Zhao Changan did not realize that it was Mu Li who did it, but when he kicked Zhong Shanghui for the second time, Zhao Changan could see it clearly.

So, when Mu Li stretched out his foot, he dodged it inadvertently.

There are no guardrails on the bridge, and there are many people.

Mu Li kicked it out.

Kick empty.

Unsteady center of gravity.

Chen Xiao scooped up Mu Li with his long arm, and pulled Mu Li into his arms.

Where Mu Li couldn't see, he glared at Zhao Changan.

That look seemed to be blaming him for avoiding it.

Seeing Zhao Changan, the corners of his mouth twitched.

It failed once, and when Mu Li wanted to kick her again, Chen Xiao had already pushed her away, half pulling and half hugging.

After getting off the bridge, Mu Li broke free from Chen Xiao's embrace, and glared at him angrily.

"Why don't you let me kick him?"

"He's your father-killer and enemy!" Mu Li blurted out in a fit of anger, and after she finished speaking, she regretted it.

Mu Li originally planned to tell Chen Xiao at the right time and in the right atmosphere after going back.

He was afraid that this matter would hit Mr. Chen too hard, and that he would be overwhelmed.

Mu Li still remembers that when Chen Xiao heard about his father from Mo San for the first time, he went crazy, and almost killed Mo San at that time.

Thinking of this, Mu Li was afraid.

She was afraid that Chen Xiao would fight desperately with others as before.

Zhao Fan and the others are numerous, and Zhong Shanghui has many martial arts masters around him, so they are definitely not their opponents.

Chen Xiao saw Mu Li who was still a little girl who did something wrong just now, and the next second his wrist tightened, and he was forced to walk back by the little girl.

She seemed to be sulking with herself and didn't say a word.

I buried my head and walked for more than two miles.

Chen Xiao sighed.

"Ali."

Mu Li hummed, his voice sounded a little low.

"I am fine."

Mu Li hummed uninterestedly.

Chen Xiao held Muli's hand with his backhand, interlocking his fingers with her.

Forehead against forehead.

"I'm really fine."

The voice was unbelievably gentle.

Mu Li didn't believe it.

"You don't need to comfort me."

Her voice was muffled.

Obviously the one who should comfort him is him.

Chen Xiao chuckled, and suddenly suppressed his smile again, his handsome face was serious and dignified, and his phoenix eyes just looked at her without blinking.

"I've known about this for a long time."

Mu Xin was startled.

"In order to become the county magistrate of Xingzhou County, Zhao Fan disliked my father several times and failed to pay for murder many times. Later, he colluded with Zhong Shanghui. Zhong Shanghui was jealous of my father, fearing that he would be reused by Emperor Zhou Gaozu. , became an obstacle on his way to restore the country, so he always wanted to kill my father, the two hit it off, and after reaching a certain agreement, they killed my father together."

He spoke calmly, but the scarlet at the end of his eyes betrayed his emotions.

Chen Xiao was far less calm.

"But I can't touch him yet."

Chen Xiao seemed to have insight into Mu Li's thoughts.

"Zhao Fan and Zhong Shanghui are not just my enemies who killed my father. There are other forces behind them. Zhong Shanghui wants to use the power of Beidi to overthrow the Great Zhou Dynasty in one fell swoop, and Beidi wants to use Zhong Shanghui's people to bring down the Great Zhou Dynasty. The Zhou Dynasty will finally devour the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"Zhong Shanghui is backed by Beidi, and he has also secretly cultivated his own talents. If we want to annihilate them, we must find evidence of Zhong Shanghui collaborating with the enemy, and at the same time ensure that Beidi will not come forward to protect him, otherwise, war may break out between the two countries. "

They all know what war means.

but……

Mu Li looked up at Chen Xiao, "Has Zhong Shanghui become so important in Beidi now?"

Chen Xiao shook his head.

"I don't know how far their current relationship has progressed, but what is certain is that Zhong Shanghui's return to Beijing this time has something to do with Beidi envoy's marriage proposal."

"Do you know the young man just now?"

Mu Li asked abruptly.

That son, of course, refers to Zhao Changan.

Chen Xiao didn't intend to hide anything from Mu Li, so he told Mu Li about the past.

After Mu Li heard this, she wrinkled her little nose.

I didn't know what to say for a while.

After holding it in for a long time, I choked out a sentence, "It is necessary to be defensive."

"Don't worry." Chen Xiao lightly smiled and scratched Muli's little nose, "I'm smarter than a fox, and most people can't fool me."

Mu Li tilted his head and looked at him amusedly, "Who would say that about himself?"

"That's right." Mu Li collected his expression again, and said seriously: "Since this matter is so important, does the Emperor know?"

Chen Xiao nodded, "I have written to the prince, they should know soon."

However, what Chen Xiao didn't know was that all the letters he sent out were intercepted by a group of men in black, and the person who sent the letters was also killed. After a while, Jiang Haichao, who Wei Qi left for Chen Xiao to send, would Returning all wounded.

At this time, Mu Li had calmed down, and she began to calmly analyze the current situation.

"In my opinion, the enemy's eyeliner may have been planted inside the court hall."

"Not to mention that this person has a high position and authority, but he must be able to influence the promotion path of officials appointed by the emperor."

Chen Xiao's narrowed eyes froze for a moment, and he just looked at her like that.

He has known for a long time that Mu Li is different from ordinary women, not only can read and read, but also intelligent, but he did not expect that she can even analyze one or two things in the court, which really surprised Chen Xiao.

The last thing he wanted to see happened.

Unknowingly, Mu Li was still involved in this huge conspiracy by him.

He looked at her deeply in his dark eyes, filled with emotions that Mu Li couldn't understand.

There is self-blame, regret, and worry.

Very complicated.

Chen Xiao sighed heavily, lowered his head, and rested it on Mu Li's shoulder, then rubbed against her neck, all the hot air blowing on the side of her neck.

Mu Li's face flushed.

"Master Chen, what's wrong with you?"

With Chen Xiao's sudden change, Mu Li was at a loss.

Chen Xiao wrapped her in his arms, and put his chin on the top of Mu Li's head. It was a hug that made people feel safe. Mu Li was forced to raise his head, and put his chin on his shoulder.

After a while, I heard a muffled, helpless and cold voice.

"Ah Li, what should I do with you?"

Mu Li was taken aback for a moment, then slowly raised her hand to pat his back.

Like silent comfort.

Chen Xiao's sudden depression, Mu Li may have guessed something.

She giggled and said, "Did Mr. Chen forget that I am a Hercules?"

"Ordinary people can't hurt me."

"I know Mr. Chen doesn't want me to be involved in this struggle. I did it voluntarily. It has nothing to do with Mr. Chen. Mr. Chen doesn't have to blame himself for it."

"Moreover, the rise and fall of the world is closely related to every ordinary person. I will definitely not stand by and watch. If I can help a little, it can be regarded as a good deed and merit. Mr. Chen should be happy for me. "

"Fool." Chen Xiao hugged her tightly, his voice was gentle but firm, and he said the heaviest promise in his life.

"I will keep you safe for the rest of your life."

As long as he is there, the enemy will never have a chance to hurt her.

Even if it is desperate, he will protect her well.

A Li, a person engraved on the tip of his heart.

Someone more important than his life.

A person that he devoted his whole life to protecting.

"I believe in you." Mu Li embraced him with a bright smile.

Those three short words, Mu Li's unconditional trust, shocked Chen Xiao's heart.

"Gollum!"

A disharmonious voice suddenly sounded, breaking the deep love between the two.

Mu Li smirked and said, "I'm hungry..."

Chen Xiao smiled and opened the distance between the two of them, and handed Mu Li a mustache stuffed with mutton, which he had just bought from a small vendor at the head of Hengqiao Bridge.

There are also many small vendors setting up stalls at both ends of the bridge.

Mu Li had just bitten two mouthfuls of mustache, when he suddenly remembered something, and said with a serious face, "By the way, I heard that Zhao Fan said last night that they are now recruiting everywhere, and they are probably training their own army."

Chen Xiao's expression froze and he became serious.

It seems that Zhong Shanghui's heart for rebellion is not dead, and he is about to fight to the death with the Great Zhou Dynasty.

He pondered for a moment, and said: "I will tell His Highness the Crown Prince about this matter as soon as possible, and let him send someone to investigate the matter, find their dens, and wipe them out in one fell swoop."

Mu Li rolled his eyeballs, his eyes were sparkling, as smart as a fox.

"Since Zhao Fan did this, we will tie up Zhao Fan after Zhong Shanghui and the others leave, and interrogate him carefully, so that we won't be afraid that he won't speak up when the time comes."

Chen Xiao smiled helplessly.

"You..."

The other little girls are weak and weak, afraid of this and that, but his family is good, they are not afraid of anything, and they take the initiative to find stimulation for themselves.

The more Mu Li thought about it, the more exciting he became, and he was already ready to move.
