[The Legend of Mulan] Daughter Love

Chapter 23 The Murderer Reappears

In the dense forest, Wu Ti and his men had just escaped from a group of soldiers.He gasped for breath, feeling that he was so useless that he was actually being chased by the soldiers of the State of Wei.Their current identities are businessmen from Gaoche. If they confront each other head-on, there will definitely be casualties. At that time, let alone Wufeng Valley, they will not be able to stay in the territory of Wei State.Now they can only hide first, as long as Duo Lun is fine, they can go back to the Valley of the Five Phoenixes.

Just as Wu Ti was thinking, a guard who was behind just now had caught up.He asked strangely: "Didn't I ask you to kill Dana and then join us, why so quickly?"

The guard knelt down with a plop, lowered his head and said, "Your Highness, Da Na has escaped!"

"What are you talking about!" Wu Ti stared, annoyed, and punched the nearby tree trunk with his fist.It's all Duo Lun, if he was missing at the beginning, there wouldn't be such troubles.It's all right for Da Na to flee back to Rouran, if she stays here, Li Duo may be in danger.

"Your Highness..." Wu Luohou shouted, "Shall we find a place to take refuge as soon as possible?"

Wu Ti came back to his senses, nodded, led his men onto the horse, and rode off under the cover of night with his whip.

……

Under the rush of work day and night by all the embroiderers in Jinxiu Villa, the shading pattern of Heqintu was finally finished.When Xie Qichen saw the shining and gorgeous silk, he couldn't help admiring. Under his witness, all the embroiderers had moved to the second floor of the embroidery building, and began to weave and embroider the colorful flowers.In order to weave the picture of marriage and marriage, there is no Si Niang in Jinxiu Villa, and now it is officially started to embroider. Every embroiderer present is very excited, especially Fu Ling and Jia Yun. For them, weaving the picture of marriage and marriage is the best for Si Niang commemoration.

Sitting in front of the embroidery frame, Zhiqing stroked the warp and weft brocade patterns, and was filled with emotions. She had repeatedly refused to participate in weaving and embroidery, but now she has devoted a lot of effort to it.Mulan will soon be fully engaged in weaving and embroidery, and Zhiqing suddenly wants to be patient and earnestly embroider one or two flowers, leaving her own traces on this beautiful piece of silk.

Xie Qichen stood behind Zhiqing, looking at the slender jade fingers holding the embroidery needle, after a while, the outline of a rhododendron was drawn.In the weaving and embroidery arena, he had seen the skills of the four top embroiderers in the Valley of the Five Phoenixes, especially Mulan. He once thought she was the best embroidery girl in the Valley of the Five Phoenixes, but Zhiqing's needlework was unique. Light and delicate, not procrastinating, it seems that every stitch is following her feeling, even the embroidery needles seem to have spirituality.

Every embroiderer here is concentrating on embroidery, and Xie Qichen left the embroidery building after inspecting for a while.He observed the surrounding environment of Xiulou again, rearranged the defenses, and sent additional manpower before leaving Jinxiu Villa.

Only when weaving and embroidering can Zhiqing's heart have a moment of peace.Now Duo Lun is still locked in the Yamen Prison, she has never been out of Jinxiu Villa and has no news of Wu Ti, although she doesn't want to go back to Rouran, but she still can't help but worry about Wu Ti.She didn't know why she was so conflicted in her heart, but whenever she thought of Wu Ti, she would feel confused.Therefore, Zhiqing put more energy into embroidery, which was regarded as the last post for Mulan.

As for Mulan's hands, they are almost healed now.In the past two days, she has been busy helping with silk dyeing at Huaerjin, packing up her things and preparing to live in Jinxiu Villa.Mulan went to see Duo Lun several times, and when she arrived at Jinxiu Villa, she told Zhiqing that Mo Jiang was doing well in prison, he could eat and sleep, and he even said hello to everyone.

But Mulan would also ask Zhiqing, "Why don't you go and see Mo Jiang?"

Zhiqing just said: "He is a prisoner, and he should go to jail with peace of mind. General Xie will let him go when he finds out the truth, and I won't see his miserable state." Shaking his head and laughing.

In the quiet night, Zhiqing lay in bed and couldn't fall asleep. Tomorrow, Mulan will take over from her and start being in charge of kissing Tuchun.She couldn't tell what she felt for a while, maybe it was because she was reluctant, maybe it was because she was a little lonely because she had nothing to do all of a sudden.

Zhiqing tossed and turned on the bed, finally had to sit up, got out of bed and poured herself a glass of water.There was no light in the house, and with the moonlight shining through the window, Zhiqing sat at the table and drank water quietly.

There was a creaking sound, as if a door next to her had been pushed open, and after a while, a figure walked past her door.

Zhiqing became suspicious, packed her clothes and quietly left the room.For the convenience of inspection, lights were lit everywhere in Jinxiu Villa. From the backyard to the embroidery building in the front yard, Zhiqing didn't find any suspicious people along the way.She was about to go back, but saw that the lights were still on in the embroidery building. She went in and went upstairs to see that Aunt Yun was still embroidering.

"Aunt Yun." Zhiqing called softly.

Jia Yun stopped what he was doing, and when he turned around and saw Zhiqing walking in, he couldn't help but blame him, "It's getting late, why haven't you slept yet?"

"I can't sleep, I'm afraid I'm going back to Luoshen Manor tomorrow, and I'm a little bit reluctant to be here." Zhiqing said.

Jia Yun smiled lovingly, "You, I must be reluctant to part with this wedding picture, after all, it is a shading pattern woven by myself, and flowers are embroidered stitch by stitch. Zhiqing, you can stay and continue to embroider, Aunt Yun You are also indispensable here."

Zhiqing shook her head, "Aunt Yun, I just agreed to help Mulan. I have to go back. Grandpa needs someone to take care of him."

"That's right, Grandpa Eight is getting old, and he can't live without people by his side."

"Aunt Yun, it's very late, why are you still embroidering?" Zhiqing glanced at the embroidery needles on the embroidery, walked over and took her arm, "It will hurt your eyes."

"I won't embroider now." Jia Yun patted Zhiqing's hand and said with some emotion: "When you pick up the embroidery needle, you will think of Si Niang. If she is here, maybe she will embroider later than me. She is An impatient person."

"Aunt Yun, do you miss Si Niang?" After hearing what she said just now, Zhiqing felt her nose sore for some reason.She used to think that Si Niang was unreasonable and unreasonable, but in fact she has a good heart, and most of the time she has a knife mouth and a bean curd heart.

Jia Yun shook her head, she was already a little tired, so she pulled herself together and said to Zhiqing: "I'll clean up now, let's go back to sleep." Saying that, she turned and walked to the embroidery frame.

Zhiqing was standing on the side, suddenly, the corner of her eyes flashed, as if a very faint light had pierced her eyes.Only a little bit, she was inexplicably startled, and subconsciously shouted: "Aunt Yun!"

Jia Yun turned to look at her, "What's wrong, Zhiqing?"

Zhiqing saw a figure behind the beams and pillars on the other side of the stairs, the candlelight there was so dim that she couldn't see clearly, "Who, who is there?"

The flash of light that I felt just now appeared again, it was...it was a needle!Zhiqing quickly ran over to pull Jiajun, but she tripped over something, and threw herself on Jiajun.

With a puff, it seemed that something came through the air and directly pierced the skin. Zhiqing only felt the piercing pain and fell to the ground.

This momentary change happened so fast, Jia Yun realized when he saw Zhiqing lying on the ground, and shouted for help: "Come on, come on!"

Jia Yun's cries for help alarmed the guards in Jinxiu Villa, and soon Li Jiang rushed into the Xiulou with people, and they followed up to the second floor before they knew what had happened.

"Seal the gate immediately! Don't let anyone run away!"

The perimeter of Jinxiu Villa is heavily guarded. There are soldiers patrolling the front and back doors, and there are guards outside the courtyard wall. It is impossible for the murderer to come in from the outside. The real murderer must be inside Jinxiu Villa.Li Jiang asked his subordinates to gather everyone together in Xiulou, interrogate and interrogate them overnight, and then called a team of people to search each room.

The night is deep, but tonight is destined to be a sleepless night...

The situation of Jinxiu Villa had been reported to Xie Qichen, and he set off immediately and rode his horse all the way to Tianxingtang.At this time, the Tianxing Hall was brightly lit, Xie Qichen got off his horse and walked in quickly.

"Doctor Luo, how is Zhiqing's situation?" He heard the general situation from the soldier who reported back, and when he saw Luo Zhao, he couldn't help asking.

Luo Zhao's face was serious, "The situation is not very good. Zhiqing's injury was pierced into her body from behind by a slender sharp weapon. Now not only is her whole body stiff, but the injury is extremely painful."

Xie Qichen asked urgently: "Is it possible to be cured? Is it life-threatening?"

Luo Zhao led Xie Qichen a few steps into the hospital, where a screen had been set up where patients are usually seen.Through the candlelight, Zhiqing could be vaguely seen lying on the couch, exuding unbearable pain, and there were two people holding her down, not allowing her to move around.

"There are Aunt Yun and Mulan inside. Aunt Yun came here with Zhiqing, and I asked the third son to find Mulan. Otherwise, Aunt Yun might not be able to suppress Zhiqing by herself." Luo Zhao said, sighing, " Just now Mulan helped me look at the wound for Zhiqing, I am afraid that the murder weapon is a needle, but this needle has already penetrated into the flesh and blood... The only solution for now is to cut the flesh and take the needle!"

Xie Qichen was startled, the flying needle is so powerful, it not only kills people, but also makes the wounded's life worse than death, whether a weak woman like Zhiqing can bear this pain.

"Doctor Luo, Doctor Luo! Think of a way, Zhiqing can't take it anymore!" Mulan's eager voice came from behind the screen.

Jia Jun pleaded while shedding tears: "Doctor Luo, Zhiqing was hurt like this to save me, you have to save her!"

Xie Qichen frowned deeply, staring at Luo Zhao, "Hurry up and save me."

"The needle is located on the back between the chest and lungs. If it is not taken out in time, it will definitely be life-threatening, but... Zhiqing is a girl who has not been married after all." Luo Zhao looked embarrassed.

"Parents of doctors, I can't control so much now!" Xie Qichen said in a deep voice, "Doctor Luo, you can do it."

"General Xie, I am a doctor and I would never leave the patient alone, but the injection is deep, and the person using the knife must be precise and fast. Although Luo Zhao has the heart, he is really not good at it. Aunt Jun and Mulan are both Nuliu, I'm afraid that when the time comes to cut the flesh with a knife, I will be in a hurry and delay the treatment..."

After listening to Luo Zhao's words, Xie Qichen's face showed embarrassment. Except for him, no one could grasp the strength of the knife better than him, but he is not a doctor, and it is against the etiquette to touch the skin of a young woman who has not been out of the cabinet.

"General Xie, Doctor Luo, hurry up!" Mulan urged again.

But right now it is still important to save people... Xie Qichen has already made a decision in his heart. "Let me do it."

Luo Zhao finally breathed a sigh of relief, "It's not too late, young man, give the prepared things to General Xie." He then shouted to the inside of the screen, "Mulan, I have prepared needles and threads, and General Xie will take them later. After the needle is given, you are in charge of suturing. Aunt Jun, I have medicine here, don’t forget to cover the wound after suturing..."

Zhiqing was already sweating coldly from the pain, and her consciousness was not very clear. She vaguely saw a man in armor approaching her side.But soon, all senses were overwhelmed by the gnawing pain of the body.

The candlelight reflected Zhiqing's pale face, her shiny black hair was drenched with sweat, and her clothes had been uncovered, revealing half of her body.Xie Qichen only glanced at Zhiqing's situation before concentrating on the movements of his hands.He neatly sprinkled strong wine on the knife and put it on the candle to roast it. After everything was ready, he asked Jia Jun and Mulan to help Zhiqing.

"Be patient." Xie Qichen said, raised the knife in his hand and stabbed into the white and smooth skin without changing his expression.
