The black-bellied peasant girl is reborn, and her weird relatives are mad

On August 12, the 12th year of Yuanhe, before dawn, a cavalry team slowly drove out of the east gate of the city and headed east.

Tang Zhongbai and Jiang Muxia walked side by side, Yin Yusheng followed in a carriage, and Tang San and Tang Si rode their horses in the front and ran very fast.

They had to rush to the county before August 15th to celebrate the festival with Tang's parents.

From that day on, ever since Tang Zhongbai saw Jiang Muxia, he began to look forward to taking her back to his home in the county to meet his parents.

He had been looking forward to this day for two years, and finally his wish came true.

Facing the gradually rising dawn in the sky, a cool autumn breeze blew, blowing away the floating clouds around them, and a golden disk slowly rose and hung high above their heads.

Just like their future days, they are full of vitality and colorful lights.

"Young Master, we have been away for two years. We can finally go home." Tang Si was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, galloping at full speed.

Tang Zhongbai smiled without saying anything. He looked at Jiang Muxia softly and replied with a smile, "Yes, I'm finally home."

He was eager to return home and couldn't wait to let his beloved integrate into the place where he had lived.

Because they brought a lot of local specialties, vegetables and fruits from Suanzao County, and the road was bumpy, the carriage dared not go too fast.

When the sun set and it gradually darkened, they found a town and settled down there.

After dinner, the five of them went back to their guest rooms on the second floor to rest.

Jiang Muxia took a shower and lay down on the bed comfortably. She was exhausted physically and mentally after a day of running around, so she emptied her body and lay down on the bed contentedly, and soon fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, the wind started to blow, and the window made a click. A crack was blown open by the wind, and wisps of autumn wind rushed into the house. She tightened the quilt in her sleep, turned over to face inward, and fell into a deep sleep again.

In the dead of night, a little light appeared at the corner of the five people's door, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

The moonlight in the second half of the night was as bright as daylight, shining into the house through the half-open windows, revealing everything inside.

At some point, a dark shadow appeared at the head of her bed, plunging her into darkness. The dark shadow held a glowing dagger, and a thin white light flashed on her face.

Half an hour later, the black shadow jumped down from the beam. He tiptoed to the bed, looked at her coldly with a pair of hateful eyes, raised his arm holding a dagger high, and brought it down fiercely on her neck.

Just as the dagger was about to pierce her neck, she suddenly opened her eyes and grabbed the shadow's wrist.

The two looked at each other. The man in black covered his face with a black scarf and had a slender figure. Her eyes suddenly turned to the man's wrist. The wrist within her reach was smooth and delicate, with a small rough and hard protrusion. She moved her fingers and saw with the light of her hand that the protrusion was actually a crescent-shaped scar.

Jiang Muxia only felt that the man in black was very strong. After being stunned for a moment, he used all his strength to press his wrist down. When the blade touched her skin, she felt a stinging pain. She used all her strength to move her body to the inside of the bed, and kicked the man in black with her feet, sending the quilt flying.

Before kicking the man in black away and letting go of her wrist, she suddenly raised her thumb and scratched the man's wrist hard.

The man in black groaned and took several steps back.

The man in black turned his eyes to the window, gave up the attack, turned around, and jumped out of the half-open window.

Jiang Muxia got up from the bed, opened the window, and the man in black was nowhere to be seen.

She was no longer sleepy, so she ran out of the room and knocked open the door of Tang Zhongbai's room across the street. She rushed to his bed in two steps and found that he was sleeping soundly and could not be woken up no matter how she called. Only then did she realize that they must have been poisoned by the evil man's incense.

She was lucky because the night wind opened the window and the cool breeze blew the incense into her room, which prevented her from dying in her sleep.

so close.

She frowned, wondering who had put their hands around their necks.

All their enemies died in the encirclement and suppression of King Lingnan. Could there be any that escaped?

It seems that this trip to Chenliu County was not as safe and smooth as they had imagined.

She quickly opened the door and windows, rushed out to ventilate the room for three people, and then sat beside Tang Zhongbai, waiting quietly for him to wake up.

After finishing all this, she was covered in cold sweat and felt a wave of fear. If the man in black had not attacked her first, these four people would have died in vain and gone to hell.

She calmed down and guessed that there was probably only one person who wanted to kill them, so she thought of using such a despicable method as the knockout drug. The man in black wanted to kill her first and then attack the others, but he didn't expect that the window in her room was blown open by the wind, and she didn't inhale the knockout drug at all. This made the man in black's wishful thinking go down the drain.

She sat on the bed, looking at Tang Zhongbai's handsome face, listening to his even and heavy breathing, and holding his warm big hand. It was still some time before dawn, and her eyelids gradually drooped and she felt drowsy.

She was awakened by the sound of chaotic footsteps in the backyard.

He sat up straight suddenly, squinted his eyes, and looked at Tang Zhongbai on the bed. He was still sleeping soundly and showed no sign of waking up.

The sky was already gray, dawn was about to arrive, and the crisis was over.

She closed the window, shut the door, and hurried downstairs to find the shopkeeper.

As soon as I went downstairs, I saw people coming and going in the backyard. There was a horse team harnessing horses to a tightly packed carriage. From their accents, they should be from near Suanzao County.

Perhaps he was a passing merchant coming from the same direction, so she didn't take it seriously and walked towards the front yard.

As she stepped into the lobby, she saw a burly man checking out with the shopkeeper at the counter.

The big man spoke in a muffled voice, but he paid readily.

Jiang Muxia stood still, and then he realized that the people in the backyard were brought by him.

But she knew that Xu Da's wine and drinks were all transported via Weidong's waterways or escort agencies. What was the purpose of the cavalry he escorted?

"Brother Jiang, how are you?"

She walked over and saw that the big man was Jiang Pizi, whom she had beaten down before.

"Miss Jiang, why are you here? Could it be that you are the five people who stayed here last night?"

Jiang Pizi opened his mouth wide and looked at her in surprise. It seemed that Xu Da had not told him that she and Tang Zhongbai were going to the county to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.

"Yeah, you are..."

"Isn't this a festival? My uncle sent me a letter asking me to go to the county. The head of the family asked me to escort a batch of wine to Cao Langjun's Lai Ju Wine House. Well, we walk slowly, so we have to set off early and try to reach the county before dark."

Jiang Muxia felt something strange, but couldn't tell what was wrong.

I greeted him and said, "Okay, see you in the county. Have a good trip."

She stood at the gate of the courtyard to see Jiang Pizi off. His motorcade was filled with burly men, and no suspicious-looking people were spotted.

Her eyes were cold as she turned to the counter and asked the shopkeeper.

"Excuse me, is there a woman in the inn who is about the same height as me and can walk flexibly?"

The shopkeeper thought for a long time before saying, "Yes, she did, but she checked out and left after you came last night."

Jiang Muxia was puzzled and asked, "Why did you check out at night?"

When they arrived at the inn yesterday, it was already past the hour of Xu. Why would a woman check out in the middle of the night?

She rolled her eyes and asked again, "When did she move in? Was she alone or did she have a companion?"

The shopkeeper was also surprised and squinted his eyes and said, "It's strange. She moved in alone at 3 p.m. yesterday. At 11 p.m. at night, she hurried downstairs to check out and leave. I was afraid that it would be dangerous for a woman to travel at night, so I wanted to persuade her, but she was determined and I couldn't say anything."

Jiang Muxia had an idea in her mind. It was most likely this woman who assassinated her last night.
