Chapter 218
The handwriting on the note was extremely scribbled, one could tell that it was written by Qing Li in a hurry.Mu Jiayu read out a few lines of small characters word by word, frowning.Under the internal force in his hand, the note turned into powder and slowly flowed out from his palm, floating in the air.His voice was also carried by the wind into a corner of Yusheng Pavilion.

A servant who was carrying water by the stream, when he heard Mu Jiayu's voice, let go of his hand inadvertently, and the bucket fell to the muddy ground by the stream, making a dull sound.

"Damn the small one, for interrupting the adults to discuss things, the small one should be damned!"

That servant, when he saw Xie Muyan and the others turned their gazes over, his legs softened immediately, and he knelt down on the ground, kowtowing in the direction of several people to plead guilty.

It wasn't until Mu Jiayu allowed him to stand up that he stood up tremblingly, and after thanking him, he rushed towards the small house where he lived at an extremely fast speed, even the bucket was left by him in the small house. No one noticed anything by the stream.

"The servants of the palace, under your discipline, are really afraid of you."

Seeing the figure of the servant disappear into the darkness, and the sound of opening and closing the door came from the hut on the right, Xie Muyan's gaze shifted from the bucket to Mu Jiayu's body, with a hint of sarcasm in her words .

Mu Jiayu didn't know what she meant by saying that suddenly, and she was still thinking carefully, but she heard Xie Muyan's voice again, "Although the Qingyi team has secretly surrounded the village of Youhun Mountain, But there is no need to delay, we will set off now. Xinran and Wanjing will stay in the Yusheng Pavilion first, and don't let anyone out of this courtyard."

Serious eyes appeared on Xie Muyan's face.Let Xinran, who wanted to go to Youhun Mountain to rescue Xie Muxin, couldn't help but obediently bowed her head and stood aside.

Even Wan Jing, who only obeyed Mu Jiayu's orders, stood by Xinran's side at this time.The carrier pigeon that was resting on his shoulder was thrown into the air by him, and let it circle around to observe the movement in Yusheng Pavilion, and report immediately if there is any abnormality.

After giving these instructions, Xie Muyan and Mu Jiayu nodded face to face, quickly walked to the stables, pulled out a horse each, and galloped towards the outside of the city.

The officers and soldiers guarding the gate of the city seemed to be the fifth prince and the fifth concubine. How could there be any reason to stop them?He immediately opened the city gate and let them out.Although they have a bad reputation, after all, they have their identities there, and they don't have the guts to offend them.

"It's so late at night, I don't know why the husband and wife are in such a hurry to leave the city. Could it be to seek medical treatment for the fifth prince's illness?"

After closing the city gate, a soldier muttered to himself, but before he could finish speaking, he was hit on the forehead and shuddered.He raised his head, only to see another soldier looking at him bitterly.

"You don't want to die, you dare to chew the root of the tongues of the two of them! Be careful that the disaster star will overhear you and kill you!"

……

Youhun Mountain is located at the boundary between the capital city and the nearby city of Jiucheng, which is farther than Mu Jiayu's bandit suppression a few years ago.

As the name suggests, Youhun Mountain is shrouded in dense fog all year round, and looks very gloomy, so there are generally no people there except for driving.

Now, a group of robbers who have never robbed the nearby villagers appeared out of nowhere in Youhun Mountain, and they happened to travel thousands of miles outside the capital to kidnap Xie Muxin and Mu Jiashu, who was good at martial arts.Such coincidences made it difficult for Mu Jiayu and Xie Muyan not to doubt them.

On the silent road, the sound of Maxima's hooves stepping on the ground was very clear.The moonlight shone on the two of them, reflecting the serious and tense expressions on their faces.

It took two hours to rush all the way out of the capital, and finally arrived at the foot of Youhun Mountain.The mountain road was steep and the trees were dense, so the horses could no longer go up the mountain. After Mu Jiayu and Xie Muyan looked at each other, they unanimously got off their horses.

Xie Muyan only felt a sudden tightening around her waist, and her face bumped into a strong chest unexpectedly.She looked up in surprise, only to see a smooth chin.The beautiful lines made her a little dazed for a while.By the time she realized it, Mu Jiayu had already taken her into the air, and within a few ups and downs, they found the location of the Tsingyi team.

"My lord and my concubine, the robbers haven't taken any action yet. Miss Xin is safe, so you can rest assured."

The moment Qing Li saw Xie Muyan and the two of them, he stepped forward and knelt down in front of them on one knee, speaking in a solemn tone that he would only have when encountering important matters.

Xie Muyan nodded slightly after hearing the words, the medicine bag in her hand was ready.

Mu Jiayu immediately understood, and softly ordered, "You stay on guard outside the village, don't act rashly. Only come in after seeing the signal from me."

"Subordinates obey!"

Hearing Qingli's exact reply, Mu Jiayu jumped up into the air with Xie Muyan in his arms, and landed lightly in the village, stirring up some dust.

The faint moonlight presented the vague outline of the village in front of the two of them.

This stockade is not big, compared to the stockade that Mu Jiayu forgot to suppress the bandits, it can even be said to be simple, and it should be built temporarily if nothing else.

Suddenly there were footsteps on the left, and the light of the lantern was faintly visible in the mist.The two turned around deftly and hid behind a big tree.

"Captain, you read it wrong, this place is so hidden, how could they find it here?"

A thin male voice sounded, but the captain he was talking about seemed not to have heard his words, and still walked towards the place where Mu Jiayu and the two hid.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and seeing that they were about to reach the hiding place of the two, Xie Muyan suddenly walked in front of them, and the medicine powder in her hand scattered with her movements.Before the patrolling people could even cry out, they fell to the ground one after another.

The soil was soft, they fell to the ground, almost only the sound of the keys colliding with each other was heard, but the sound was also very slight.

"Search from room to room."

Glancing at the fallen people on the ground, Mu Jiayu turned his eyes away, and then turned to Xie Muyan.

In the dark fog, he could only see the silhouette of Xie Muyan.Seeing her nodding, she took the lead in walking towards a room.He stepped up to keep up, and the silent night also made him feel that his hearing was surprisingly sharp.

In the entire village, there was only one room that still revealed some light.The two walked lightly, and after approaching, they could only hear the conversation of two people, faintly coming out from the room.

Because the doors and windows were closed, Xie Muyan couldn't hear what they were talking about, but the moment she heard the voice of one of them, she felt very familiar.

Mu Jiashu!
Almost without thinking, the name of this person appeared in her mind.She gritted her teeth, tried hard to control her desire to rush in and question him, took Mu Jiayu's hand, and tiptoed towards the next room.

Mu Jiayu only felt that the small hand holding his big palm was soft and boneless, and the delicate skin made him tremble in his heart.However, he quickly stabilized his mind and focused his attention on the voices in the room.

"How is it?" Xie Muyan asked him with her eyes.

He looked at his bright eyes full of hope, and finally shook his head regretfully.The sound of men snoring came from this room, it should be the room of the robbers.

A look of disappointment appeared on Xie Muyan's face, but she quickly hid it.She turned her head away and continued searching.

In fact, if the Tsing Yi team were to come in, the speed would definitely be much faster.But when more people came in, the movement would naturally be louder, which would definitely alarm the robbers in the village.This was not her intention, she wanted Xie Muxin to take a good look at Mu Jiashu's true face...

Suddenly, she only felt a tightness in her hands.She turned her head subconsciously, but saw Mu Jiayu holding her hand tightly, and stopped in front of a room without any movement.

Her gaze immediately fell on a lock in front of the door.She held her breath, and a strong premonition told her that Xie Muxin must be inside!
key……

Xie Muyan gritted her teeth, and took off the hairpin from the bun, wanting to learn from what she saw in TV dramas before, using the hairpin to unlock the lock.However, before she could take any action, Mu Jiayu took out a key as if conjuring, and with his movements, they collided and rubbed against each other, making a crisp sound.

"This is the key of the patrol team. It's probably correct." Mu Jiayu's deep voice rang in her ears.

A look of surprise appeared in Xie Muyan's eyes.She swallowed nervously, and while watching Mu Jiayu test the key, she shifted her gaze to look around, as if worried that someone would suddenly come over.

The sound of the door lock turning suddenly sounded, to Xie Muyan's ears, it was as sweet as the sounds of nature.She stared at the door lock tightly, only feeling that her eyesight was unprecedentedly clear, and she could even see the lock pop open just like that, and Mu Jiayu carefully placed it on the ground, trying not to make any noise.

The door was slowly pushed open, and Xie Muyan opened the fire folder she carried with her. The faint light of the fire would not be seen by outsiders, but it could still illuminate a part of the space inside the house.

The fire was slowly extinguished, and the surroundings returned to darkness.Xie Muyan took another two steps forward, and before she had time to light up the fire, she felt a sudden chill on her neck.

"Who?!" A hoarse female voice sounded.

Hearing this voice, Xie Muyan only felt that a heart that had been hanging on her was finally let go.She didn't reply, and Mu Jiayu behind her didn't make the slightest sound.She opened the fire pocket calmly, and held the fire pocket in front of her.

The person holding the dagger in his hand immediately put away the dagger when he saw Xie Muyan's appearance, and a look of overjoy appeared on his face.
