Chapter 170 Marrying Her Alarms the Emperor
Before fainting, Beitang Yi hugged Mu Lianzhi tightly and knocked her unconscious.
Watching the changes in Beitang Yi, Mu Lao was stunned where he was.
Yingfeng and his men had just tracked down the enemy nearby and were becoming extremely anxious when he suddenly felt as if someone had pinched his chest. The next second, a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth.
"Lord Kagekaze."
"Chief Qu."
Almost at the same time, a guard leader who came from the other side also vomited blood and fell to the ground on one knee. In an instant, there was a commotion around him:
"Be careful of assassins."
"Master Guard."
After wiping the corner of his lips, Ying Feng knew that Beitang Yi was most likely in big trouble. His face changed, but he still raised his hand:
"Don't panic. Someone may have placed some poisonous gas in the forest. Commander Qu and I may have accidentally come into contact with it or may have had a strong reaction. It's okay. Everyone, follow us closely and be alert."
Considering Beitang Yi's skills, it should be impossible for ordinary people to hurt him in such a short time. If the poison takes effect, it is very likely that he will ask for help.
While dealing with the matter calmly, Ying Feng was also thinking about finding him as soon as possible and not letting the secret leak out at this time. After all, the emperor was right behind him and he had to keep it a secret.
Just as he calmed everyone down, a cry for help came from above:
"Someone, come quickly!"
"Is there anyone? Someone is injured."
Then the group of people accelerated and rushed up in all directions. When they stepped onto the flat ground on the mountainside, they were all dumbfounded. They saw Beitang Yi hugging a woman tightly. The woman's clothes were disheveled and half of her shoulders were exposed. He was lying in front of the woman, with an assassin in black lying on one side and an old man with white hair and beard kneeling on the ground.
At this time, the bamboo basket and crutches were all thrown on the ground, herbs were spilled, there were obvious signs of fighting and blood around, the old man was holding up his hands, and it was unknown whether he was scared or didn't know where to start, the ground was a mess.
"What are you standing there for? Someone come and give me a hand. Aren't you officials?"
As soon as the old man spoke, everyone looked at each other, and finally all inquiring eyes fell on the two people leading the team. At this time, both of them were pale and there was blood at the corners of their lips.
Commander Qu also subconsciously looked at Ying Feng. Everyone knew that he was Beitang Yi's close bodyguard.
"Someone, go down and bring up an imperial physician, and report the situation here."
"You guys, guard and be alert all around, and you, help me."
The flare fired by Beitang Yi was used exclusively for Yutian Pavilion. Everyone saw it, so His Majesty naturally couldn't hide it. In addition to the people from Beitang Mansion, there were also royal guards and the guards responsible for security this time. It was hard to say who they all belonged to.
Yingfeng assigned the tasks in an orderly manner and tried his best to take into account all the factors he could.
Naturally, Commander Qu couldn't be sent away, so he tried his best to let outsiders guard the surroundings with their backs turned, and his own people helped closely, and he automatically ignored the royal guards who were responsible for supervision.
……
At the foot of the mountain, Leng Yun saw the signal flare and was about to go up to help when he saw the prince staggering down from the side. He could only cover Chunmiao's mouth and take her to a corner to hide.
By the time she was free again, Yingfeng had already led the team up the mountain. Finally, after much consideration, she chose to take Chunmiao away from the area and chose a farther location to wait and see what would happen.
Beitang Yi's flare was different from others. When he moved, the emperor also received the message, and a group of people rushed here. Unexpectedly, on the way, a young eunuch who was driving the emperor suddenly vomited blood, which caused a commotion halfway and scared the horses, almost causing the emperor to fall.
Everyone who was traveling with them was so frightened that they broke out in cold sweats. When they were resting halfway, Ling Yuchi, who heard the news, was so frightened that he almost collapsed to the ground on the spot.
Why did the horse get frightened again for no reason?
This time, he personally checked every horse that was used, and also prepared extra substitutes. He was busy running around.
The emperor said nothing, but his expression changed.
It was not until the guards who went to the front to investigate the situation came back with a report that he flew into a rage and immediately ordered a thorough investigation. When the convoy accelerated again, everyone still had only a vague idea of the situation but was in a panic.
……
At this time, in Qingyun Temple, the Marquis's entourage lined up, and Jiang supported the old lady to meet Master Daoyi.
"Taoist Master."
Jiang put the paper sign on the ground, and while the little Taoist boy was checking it, the two of them greeted the Taoist priest, and then the old lady sat down in front of the seat.
Master Daoyi glanced at the two of them without saying much. He only nodded and smiled faintly at the old lady after looking at the number plate shown by the Taoist boy.
"You are able to draw a lucky charm written by me personally. You are destined to be with me. I wonder if you are praying for safety or for good fortune?"
Master Daoyi glanced at the wrist rest and the fortune stick box on the table, his meaning was very clear, asking her to choose one of the two.
Judging from the old lady's age, the Taoist priest and the Taoist children intuitively believed that the former was the case. They exchanged glances, and the pharmacist who was sorting out the pulse records and grinding ink obviously sped up their preparations.
Putting her hands together in a "praying" gesture, the old lady laughed dryly:
"I would like to ask you about the future development of the Marquis' Mansion. I wonder if you can give me some advice?"
If anyone else in the Marquis' Mansion had drawn this number today, she could have asked that person about her doubts. But this number was drawn by Mu Lianzhi, and she was the one asking the question. She had the illusion that no matter who asked the question, she would not know whose outcome would be.
She specifically mentioned the word "Marquis' Mansion", and she still felt a little uneasy and worried.
Not knowing her intention of mentioning "Marquis' Mansion", and thinking that she wanted to use her power to pressure others, the Taoist priest understood and smiled faintly:
"It's fine if you want to ask about the future of your family, but man proposes, God disposes, and man can overcome God. Divination can only be used as a reference and should not be trusted completely. If you trust me and want to give it a try, I will do my best. If you want to ask something, think about it first, then write a random word on a piece of paper, and I can help you take a look."
Soon, paper and pen were placed in front of the old lady.
After exchanging a glance with Jiang, the old lady thought of many questions she wanted to ask, but she didn't expect that in the end she would be asked to write. After thinking about it, she felt that the key was to find out who supported the Marquis' Mansion, so she silently recited the question. She was thinking of Ling Shaocong or Ling Yuchi, but the moment she put pen to paper, her mind went blank for a moment, and she thought that the lot was drawn by Mu Lianzhi.
Somehow, the word "branch" was written on the paper.
When she saw the words, Jiang was so shocked that her eyes almost popped out of her head, and the old lady was also shocked as if she had seen a ghost.
However, before the two could react or regret, the Taoist priest had already taken the paper away:
"Mujiazhi, spring comes and wood grows. The old lady wants to ask if the earth is the pillar of the family, right?"
Originally, Jiang and the old lady felt a little regretful, fearing that they had wasted the opportunity. Unexpectedly, the master's words hit the nail on the head. The two of them held their breath and nodded rapidly at the same time.
