Jiang Muxia had a plan in mind, so she asked for a basin of cold water and went to Tang Zhongbai's room.

The cool handkerchief was placed on Tang Zhongbai's forehead, causing him to shudder and slowly open his eyes.

When he opened his eyes, he saw Jiang Muxia sitting at the head of his bed. He was surprised and felt something unusual on his head, so he reached out and picked up the handkerchief.

With questions in his eyes, he asked her in confusion, "What's wrong with me? What happened?"

"Get up when you wake up. I'll go call the three of them."

Jiang Muxia did not respond to his question, but got up and walked out.

She had to wait until everyone arrived, explain the whole story clearly, and let everyone be alert.

They may be lucky once, but they can't be lucky every time.

They are in the light while their opponents are in the dark, and they will be tricked if they are not careful.

Jiang Muxia stood in front of Tang Zhongbai's door. After looking carefully, she pointed to a small hole in the middle edge of the door and showed it to the four of them.

"Look here, the man in black blew the incense into our room through this small hole. Fortunately, the window of my room was opened by the wind and I was woken up by the cold in the middle of the night. Otherwise, the five of us would have become corpses long ago."

Tang Zhongbai held his forehead with his hand and did not say anything for a long time.

Tang Si couldn't control his temper and started yelling immediately. Tang Zhongbai glared at him, and he shrank his neck and closed his mouth.

"This matter has nothing to do with the shopkeeper, there is no need to involve innocent people. From today on, everyone should be alert and vigilant. She will not give up until she succeeds, and we don't know when she will strike again, so everyone just needs to be careful."

With a bang, Tang Si slammed his fist against the door and cursed, "I don't believe she has the guts to run into the mansion and kill someone."

There are all kinds of people in the county, and who would have thought where the enemy is hiding.

"Of course she doesn't dare to come to the mansion to kill people. We can go out of the mansion and send them to her right under her nose so that she can do it."

Jiang Muxia said firmly that only by luring the person out and eradicating the root of the problem can we get rid of the worries. Otherwise, if we live in a world where we are always on the alert, we will go crazy.

"Miss Jiang, are you crazy?" Tang Si widened his eyes and glared at her angrily. By doing this, wouldn't she be pulling the young master into the kang?

"Shut up. Let me ask you, if you have a rotten sore on your body, would you let it die on its own or dig it out as soon as it appears?" Tang San said.

"Of course I'll dig it out. What if it grows bigger and takes my life?"

Tang San poked his head hard and said in a hateful voice: "You are quite clear, aren't you? Why do you get confused when it comes to things? This man in black is like a rotten sore. If you don't get rid of it, you don't know when it will jump out and give you a knife."

Tang Si pouted and said nothing. He had a simple mind but was not stupid. After being pointed out by others, he could understand it immediately.

"Pack your luggage and leave immediately. Return to the county before dark."

Tang Zhongbai gave the order, and the five men left Zhendian and drove eastward quickly.

After walking for twenty miles, the five people met Jiang Pizi who was walking slowly in a dense forest. Jiang Muxia did not intend to stop. He stopped his horse, greeted him, and wanted to catch up with the four people who were walking forward.

Her horse had not gone far when a gust of wind blew the driver's conversation into her ears.

"Do you think they are crazy? They don't even dare to take such a pretty girl and let her do it alone. If it were me, I would rather have a night of romance and die."

Jiang Muxia was startled. Her intuition told her that the woman they were talking about was the man in black from last night.

She turned her horse around and asked, "Brother, who is the woman you are talking about, and where is she?"

The driver pointed deep into the forest and said, "It's right inside the forest..."

Jiang Muxia didn't listen to the rest of his words. She jumped off the horse, tied it up, and ran deep into the woods.

With a whip in hand, she ran wildly against the strong wind in the forest. The deeper she went, the stronger the smell of blood in the wind became.

She thought to herself that this was not good and quickened her pace. She was still too late. There were two bodies lying under the tree. She went forward to feel the pulse of the neck. There was still some body temperature, but no pulse.

The person is already dead, and the murderer has already escaped.

She noticed that the man's right hand had thick calluses on the palm of his hand, as if they were caused by years of holding weapons.

Did they come from the military camp? Could they be the King of Lingnan's men?

But why did the man in black kill them?

"Dead?" Tang Zhongbai rushed over and squatted beside her.

"They should be the King of Lingnan's men, but I don't know why the men in black want to kill them?"

Tang Zhongbai sighed, "It's not hard to understand. The King of Lingnan has been brought to justice. These people were able to escape and save their lives, so they wished they could hide deeper. The man in black must have asked them to help her, but they didn't want to. That's why they lost their lives."

This discovery made them realize that the people who assassinated them were most likely the King of Lingnan's men. Killing them was to avenge the King of Lingnan.

Most of the people they knew and had fought with were dead, so who could this woman who suddenly appeared be? The two of them went through all the people they had met who might have had a relationship with the King of Lingnan, and without exception, they were either dead or exiled thousands of miles away. Among the exiled people, no one had escaped.

Who could this person be?

At the end of the 3:00 p.m., the five men arrived outside the Tang family's private residence in the county.

When the old gatekeeper saw Tang Zhongbai, he ran into the yard overjoyed and reported to the princess.

A servant had already come and took the horse to the stable in the backyard.

Jiang Muxia looked up and saw a spacious and grand mansion under the azure sky. Looking through the gate, the building was simple, with black tiles and gray walls. The lush osmanthus trees were full of flowers, and he could smell the fragrance of flowers standing outside the gate. It seemed that the lady must be a flower lover.

Before coming, Tang Zhongbai had told her that their family was small and frugal. The Tang family's private residence in the county was just a simple four-courtyard house. In addition to the main courtyard of their parents, the three brothers each had a courtyard. Since the eldest brother went to Beijing to serve as an official, his courtyard was used as a guest house.

Most of the servants in the house came from the capital. There were only two maids and three or four female servants around his mother. His mother said that it was enough to have enough people, not too many. After he left home, the two maids in his courtyard came to serve his mother.

After a while, an old woman in silk clothes came hurriedly with two maids who were about seventeen or eighteen years old.

After paying respect to the five people, the old woman smiled and invited them in. "Madam has been waiting for a long time. Please invite Miss Jiang and this old servant in."

Jiang Muxia looked at Tang Zhongbai, and seeing that he was motionless, she asked him with her eyes, "Aren't you going?"

Tang Zhongbai smiled at her gently, "You go first, I'll come find you after I've arranged for Brother Yin."

"it is good."

Yin Yusheng did not live in the Tang family. In the evening, Cao Junan personally came to the house and took him to his home.

The only purpose of his coming here was to buy land for Jiang Muxia in the county, to plant cotton next year, and to build a weaving workshop.

What they don’t know is that their every move has already been watched by others, and they are in danger of losing their lives at any time.
