Ever since the incident with Wang Gensheng, Mu Gu thought everyone was a bad person, even Duanmu Ling and Princess Jianing were no exception. He couldn't let Xiao Ruge get hurt again.

After Bai Zhi left, Mu Gu held Xiao Ruge's dark hand, intertwined their fingers, his eyes full of tenderness and affection.

"Ruge, you must hold on. Master will be here soon. You haven't given birth to my child yet. You are not allowed to leave me. Do you hear me?"

The days when Xiao Ruge was in a coma were extremely torturous for Mu Gu. While he was suffering, Mu Bo finally led his troops to war.

The assassination attempt on Mu Bo was officially launched.

So on the third day when Mu Bo led his team, they encountered the first wave of assassinations.

That night, Mu Bo was very tired after riding a horse all day. After washing up, he was about to rest when he suddenly heard a chaotic noise coming from outside, and then a red light illuminated the tent.

"what happened?"

He didn't care about anything else, he opened the curtain and rushed out of the tent. However, he didn't expect that as soon as he came out, two cold lights attacked his neck from the left and right.

Mu Bo reacted quickly and retreated hurriedly. Two cold lights passed by his nose, and he could even feel the chill brought by the cold lights.

He quickly retreated to the tent, drew his sword before the assassin rushed in, and turned around to fight with the two men in black.

The noise outside was getting louder and louder. Judging from the red light that illuminated half of the tent, there must be a fire somewhere.

While fighting with the two men, Mu Bo listened carefully to the noise outside. Finally, he heard a loud shout and realized that the food and grass were burned.

Food and supplies are the most important things for a team. He couldn't see the situation outside, so he was a little anxious. This revealed a flaw and his shoulder was cut.

He no longer dared to be distracted and concentrated on dealing with the two people, but two fists could not beat four hands. Even though he had tried his best, he was inevitably injured one after another.

At this time, someone also noticed that something was wrong with Mu Bo, and rushed in with his men.

Seeing that their retreat was blocked, the two assassins looked at each other and rushed towards Mu Bo desperately. Unfortunately, when they were more than one meter away from Mu Bo, they were stabbed in the vitals and both died.

"Your Highness! Are you okay?"

The guard hurriedly ran to Mu Bo and looked at him with concern, but was slapped hard by Mu Bo.

"Damn you! What were you doing just now? Do you want me to die?"

"Your Highness, forgive me!"

Several guards knelt on the ground. The guard who was slapped had blood on his mouth and whispered, "Your Highness is injured. Let me find a military doctor to bandage your wound first!"

"Then go quickly!"

Mu Bo was really angry to death. Two killers suddenly appeared out of nowhere and now they are in Kyoto. How could someone be so bold?

Looking at the two killers lying on the ground, Mu Bo narrowed his eyes.

"Check for this prince and see who sent these two things!"

The two bodies were dragged out and soon stripped naked. Except for a scorpion tattoo on the back of their shoulders, there was nothing on their bodies.

When the guard reported the incident to Mu Bo, Mu Bo had already bandaged the wound.

Several important men gathered in his tent, and they couldn't help but frown when they heard about the scorpion tattoo.

"According to my understanding, only the barbarians would have scorpion tattoos on their shoulders."

At this time, the masked man spoke in a hoarse voice. He looked at Mu Bo with dark eyes and asked in confusion: "Could it be that the barbarians knew that Your Highness was going to the northwest, so they sent people to ambush you halfway?"

When Mu Bo heard this, he looked up at the man with some doubt in his eyes.

This doubt was not because of what that person had just said, but because of that person.

This man's name was Zhou Yan. He had been in an accident before, his face was completely destroyed and his voice was hoarse. People found him under a charred ruin.

Before, Zhou Yan had always been one of the people that Mu Bo trusted the most, but after the incident, Mu Bo excluded him and gradually stopped trusting him.

Mu Bo always felt that what happened to Zhou Yan was strange. Such a big fire didn't burn him to death. If he wasn't just lucky, then there must be something else going on.

"How do you know this?"

Whether it is Qiang, Hu or Yidi, the people of Dalong know very little about them, because these two tribes live in the mountains all year round and seldom come out.

Now that they are attacking Dalong, I don’t know how much benefit the Rongdi people have tempted them with.

Zhou Yan lowered his eyes and clasped his fists, "I went to Yidi four years ago and saw it by accident."

Four years ago, Zhou Yan was part of an envoy team on a mission to the Qiang and Hu tribes. When passing through the Yi tribes, they encountered a mudslide and many members of the envoy team died.

Zhou Yan was missing at that time. Just when Mu Bo thought that he had died under the mud and rocks, Zhou Yan actually came back and brought back a lot of things from the barbarians.

No one knew about this, everyone just thought he came back with the diplomatic mission.

But only Mu Bo knew that this man got separated from the delegation and accidentally went to the barbarians, and only reunited with the delegation when he came back later.

After hearing Zhou Yan mention this matter in a vague way, Mu Bo's suspicion of him was reduced a little.

Since there is evidence that it was done by barbarians, then the two assassins must be barbarians.

"I will inform Father of what happened tonight, and I will ask Father to send us the food and fodder again. Everyone, go back and rest!"

Before killing him, the assassins set the food on fire. They poured oil on the food, so the fire was so big and fierce.

After hearing this, everyone bowed. Zhou Yan was about to leave with the crowd but was stopped by Mu Bo.

After everyone left, Zhou Yan asked, "Your Highness, do you have anything else to tell me?"

Mu Bo stood up and walked to Zhou Yan, then patted him on the shoulder.

"This prince thought that you had not recovered yet, so he did not entrust some things to you. Please don't worry about it."

Hearing this, Zhou Yan's dim eyes instantly lit up and his body trembled slightly with excitement.

He adjusted himself for a long time before he steadied his voice and said, "Your Highness, what are you talking about? I am your subordinate, and you should treat me the way you want!"

Mu Bo was very satisfied with what he said. He patted his shoulder again and said with a smile, "From today on, you will stay with this prince!"

This meant that Zhou Yan should be protected closely. Upon hearing this, Zhou Yan immediately knelt down excitedly.

"Yes, I obey!"

……

In the bright room, Mu Gu sat down beside the bed holding the medicine bowl. He tilted his head back to pour the medicine into his mouth and then leaned over to feed the medicine to Xiao Ruge.

After finishing all this, she took a bowl of medicine and drank it herself, then waved at Mo and asked her to leave.

Today is the sixth day that Xiao Ruge has been in a coma. Since the third day, she could no longer take medicine, and could only be fed mouth-to-mouth.
