The sound of a flute!
That flute sound is so familiar.
Mu Qianqian suddenly opened her eyes.
Why is it that same group of people again?
She really went too far last time, which is why they still dared to come over.
A rustling sound came from the lawn.
The crowd was terrified and scattered in all directions.
"Snakes! So many snakes!"
"Ah...a poisonous snake!"
"Where did all these snakes come from? Run!"
One after another, red-patterned venomous snakes, coiled up and flicking their tongues, gathered from all directions toward the campfire.
Their gazes were unwavering, as if they were searching for pre-arranged prey.
The flute music paused.
The red-patterned venomous snakes also stopped.
The familiar scene made Lu Zhaofeng's brow twitch.
not good!
Could it be that these people weren't actually after Emperor Yuanwu?
Instead...
He leaped into the air and landed outside Consort Shu's tent: "Nannan, are you up?"
"What's wrong?" Consort Shu came out of the tent. "What happened?"
“I suspect these people are the same group that hijacked your carriage last time.” Lu Zhaofeng’s expression was solemn: “We shouldn’t have let those guys go so easily back then.”
"What guy?" Mu Junhan asked in surprise.
"Last time your mother returned to the General's Mansion to visit her family, she encountered a group of assassins on her way back. They also used snakes." Lu Zhaofeng's expression was grave: "Keep an eye on your mother, I..."
He hadn't finished speaking.
A red cobra flew towards Consort Shu.
Lu Zhaofeng paused, and a dagger slid from his sleeve into his hand.
One lift, one swing.
Clean and efficient.
With a flash of light from a dagger, a snake was cleaved in two.
Consort Shu turned pale with fright.
Mu Junhan hurriedly stood beside her and put his arm around her shoulder: "Mother, don't be afraid."
Consort Shu nodded, saying she wasn't afraid, but her body was trembling uncontrollably.
Mu Junhan hurriedly helped her back to her room.
Mu Qianqian lay on her side on the bed, staring motionlessly out the window.
A hint of anger appeared on her small face.
Outside the camp, there were sounds of fighting and screams.
A man in black, rolling his eyes, was kicked directly into Consort Zhen's tent.
"ah……"
Consort Zhen's scream startled Emperor Yuanwu, who was standing beside her. He looked at Consort Zhen and asked, "What's wrong?"
Consort Zhen had been raised in the manor since childhood and had never seen such a scene before. She was terrified out of her wits: "People..."
Following the direction of her finger, his eyes flashed with a cold light.
He wore a long robe and carried a sharp sword as he walked out of the tent.
The moment he pulled back the tent flap.
A blinding purple light spread out like ripples.
Emperor Yuanwu frowned as he was stabbed, and raised his hand to shield his forehead.
Time seemed to stand still for a second.
One by one, the men in black were driven back and fell to the ground.
All the snakes were torn to pieces and scattered all over the ground.
Emperor Yuanwu's eyes widened in shock.
He paused for a second, then said, "Take all these men in black away and interrogate them thoroughly."
"Yes!" Lu Zhaofeng clasped his hands and knelt on the ground: "Your subject has another matter to report."
Emperor Yuanwu's eyes were fixed on Consort Shu's tent. He waved to Lu Zhaofeng, tossed the sword in his hand to the guard, and walked straight toward Consort Shu's tent.
"Qianqian." Emperor Yuanwu looked around for a moment before finally sitting down on the bed.
Mu Qianqian was lying quietly on the bed, her expression no longer childlike, but rather filled with a fierce aura.
A faint purple light shone between her brows.
