Xuanmen Xiaoguo Shi is divination again

Chapter 444 "Puppet"

The little girl pressed against his shoulder and cried silently for a long time, before she muffled "Yes" in a low voice after a while.

Hearing this, Mo Junli raised his hand and rubbed her head, Mu Xici sat up straight with his nose sniffling, only then did he realize that the clothes on the young man's shoulders had already been turned into a wet ball by her crying.

She looked at those dark water marks, and couldn't help showing some embarrassment on her face: "Ayan, did I ruin one of your clothes?"

She remembered that this old guy was used to being hypocritical, and that he had the best food and clothing when he didn't need to be fooled on weekdays. She saw that the material and workmanship of the long gown on him were extremely exquisite. Waste a hundred taels of silver.

...Thinking about it this way, she suddenly felt a little distressed.

One hundred taels of silver can buy two or three horses for pulling carts.

If I had known, she would not have cried with this old thing just now.

The little girl wrinkled her small face in distress, and Mo Junli chuckled lightly when she saw this, "It's okay, it's just a little bit of tears, and it's not dirty, just wash it with water."

"Can this be washed out?" Master Mu frowned in confusion, for a moment he couldn't tell whether the young man was telling the truth or lying to her casually.

——She really doesn't know how to take care of this kind of clothes. In her previous life, she stayed in the border all the year round and didn't have much time to wear them. In this life, she has Lingqin to help her pack the clothes and jewelry in the mansion, so it's not her turn to do this job.

"Don't worry, it's possible." The boy bent his eyes, "Normal clothes are not so delicate, and they are not court dresses."

"That's good." Mu Xici couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief, if she really taught her to cry and wasted a hundred taels of silver, she would regret it to death.

"I didn't know before that our national teacher is so diligent and thrifty in managing the family." Mo Junli smiled and stretched out his hand to pinch the little girl's cheek, and when his eyes touched the dry water mark on her face, there was a momentary shaking.

"A Ci, wait for me here." The young man slowly withdrew his hand, then turned around and strode out of the study.

"Oh." The little girl replied, tilting her head to stare at his back, and swaying her two slender legs along the way, she guessed that this pretentious old thing probably went to change clothes.

After crying heartily for a while, the nameless force that had been pressing on her body all this time was invisiblely relieved a lot.

At this moment, her mind was extraordinarily clear, and her thoughts became much clearer.

She always felt that there was still some room for improvement in their series of plans for Fuli, the water could be muddied even more, and they could find other breakthroughs.

For example... the Wen family?
Mu Xici rested her chin and thought wildly. She didn't know whether her mother was favored by the old General Wen when she was still in the Wen family, but thinking about it, as the daughter of the Wen family, she would not be treated too coldly... …

If this is the case, this hidden thread of the Wen family might be able to come in handy in the future that they had never expected.

Of course, before that, it is more important to find out the real cause of her mother's death.

As for the matter of Wen's residence, she could wait for Bai Jingzhen's attitude to loosen before inquiring about it.

The little girl closed her eyebrows in thought, and when she was about to go back, she sent a message to Yunshi, asking her to pay attention to the maid beside Xiao Shuhua and compile a detailed list as soon as possible.

Xiao Shuhua's thoughts were indeed vicious enough, but she didn't think that her good aunt would have the ability to cause her mother to die in childbirth quietly and without trace.

At least she had to have someone by her side who would help her make suggestions, wipe away blood and hand out a knife.

Like the rhymes she'd worked so hard to bring up for her good daughter.

It's just a pity... Mu Shiyan is a fool, not only did she fail to appreciate her mother's good intentions, but instead forced this smart person to break with her and find another master.

At the same time, it must be her confidant who can help her make suggestions and even guide her to make a decision.

She would not be willing to silence such a person easily, but would only promise to keep him by her side so that she could treat her well.

Naturally, the people around Xiao Shuhua might have been checked by "Xiao" people long ago.

But what they could find out, what He Yunshi used his identity to get out of others' mouths, would be slightly different, maybe, this small difference would become the key to their continued search.

"Xiao"'s spying ability is obviously beyond doubt, but it is always a bit troublesome for a group of scouts to inquire about an old matter that has been sealed by time for more than ten years.

What's more, the current situation in the world is uncertain, and there will be some wars in the border towns from time to time. Once there is a war at the border, some "owls" must go out with the army to quell the chaos.

Going back and forth again and again, the progress will become procrastinated, and the clues that have been found with great difficulty are easily interrupted by others.

Hiss~ She really doesn't like to think about these things in the house.

Master Mu drooped his eyelids, sighed silently, and when he raised his eyes again, the noble young man who had left the door had already left and returned.

The clothes on his body were not changed, but there was a warm wet handkerchief in his hand.

Seeing this, the little girl blinked in a daze, and the next moment the veil was quietly touching her face.

"Tears dry on your face, you don't mind being tense." Mo Junli carefully wiped the water marks on her face with gentle and slow movements.

Mu Xici only felt that her face, which was a little tense before, immediately returned to ease. Seeing this, her eyes fluttered unnaturally, and she hummed softly: "I didn't pay much attention."

"It's okay, I'll take care of it for you in the future." The boy pursed his lips and smiled sullenly, but the little girl quietly scalded the tip of her ears when she heard the words.

"I thought you were going to change your clothes." The corner of Mu Da Guoshi's eyes hung, and he changed the subject indiscriminately. She felt that she would be spoiled by this old thing sooner or later.

"That's okay," Mo Junli shrugged slightly, and shook his head indifferently, "It doesn't matter if you change later."

"By the way, Ah Ci, I have a question that I haven't really figured out."

The little girl nodded slightly: "You say."

"If the Daoist Fuli that the royal family has been enshrining for a long time," the young man narrowed his eyes and slowly expressed his doubts, "it really is the words of 'Mr. Teacher' that the eldest princess said."

"Then how did he manage to appear in the three places of Yuzhu, Hanze and Jiuxuan almost at the same time?"

"I remember clearly that the sorcerer Fuli in the previous life never left behind any disciples who got the inheritance. He was the only one from the beginning to the end—he couldn't really send three Taoist boys out, could he?"

"Well, he might be using a 'human puppet'." Mu Xici pondered, "A Yan, do you remember the human puppet we saw in Huaicheng?"

"There are many improved corpse talismans painted on his body, since that person has the ability to turn Gu masters into human Gu, most likely he has the ability to turn weaker warlocks into 'human puppets' completely controlled by him. "

"Combined with Gu, formation and talisman, as long as his knowledge is deep enough and the materials are sufficient, it is not difficult to make one or two of these 'human puppets' and control them to rush to Jiuxuan and Yuzhu."

"As for the one who appeared in Hanze...I prefer the 'Mr. Shi', he is himself."
