Blood dripped onto the ground along the sword's edge. Chang Xiao clenched his fists. He really wanted to kill the man in front of him in one go, but he knew that there was a huge disparity in strength between the two men and he was no match for Qianli.
Qianli gave him a warning look and retracted his sword: "You'd better listen to what I say, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."
Qianli warned him coldly and turned to look for Gu Yunran.
"Second Madam, you and Ruizhu are in there. I'll be the one guarding."
Gu Yunran thought about it and was worried that something might happen tonight, so she agreed to Qianli's proposal.
"Thank you for your hard work."
"You are too polite, Madam. This is my responsibility."
Over there, Mu Qianxue had woken up and coughed violently.
Xiao heard the noise and hurriedly pushed open the door and walked in. He ran to the bed and helped Mu Qianxue up: "Miss, how are you? Are you feeling better?"
Mu Qianxue shook off his hand, supported herself on the bed with both hands, and sat up. Her lips were cracked and bleeding.
"Who told you to act on your own? Ahem..." She coughed violently again. "You're becoming more and more opinionated now. You didn't even consult with me and just drugged me."
Chang Xiao knelt on the ground and said, "Miss, I was wrong."
"You can punish me as you wish, but I must do this."
"If Gu Yunran really returns to the Mu family, we will have no chance."
Chang Xiao raised his hand and slapped himself: "I made the decision on my own, I deserve to be beaten!"
As he said this, he slapped himself hard again: "I have made the young lady suffer, I deserve to be beaten!"
But he doesn't regret it.
Chang Xiao slapped himself twice, and his cheeks immediately became red and swollen. It seemed that he had used a lot of strength. Mu Qianxue felt a little distressed when she saw it.
"Forget it, get up."
Chang Xiao raised his head and widened his eyes, looking at the happy smile on Mu Qianxue's face: "Miss, are you not angry with me anymore?"
"I've thought about it and I think what you said makes sense. Now is the best time to deal with Gu Yunran. If we let her go back to the Mu Mansion, it will be difficult to find another opportunity."
"What are your plans?"
Chang Xiao had a smug smile on her face. She walked to Mu Qianxue's side and whispered something in her ear. Mu Qianxue's eyes lit up when she heard it.
"That's a good idea. Go and set it up."
"yes."
Chang Xiao looked at Mu Qianxue's pale face, his eyes full of distress: "Miss, I'll go and make you a bowl of medicine."
"good."
Chang Xiao walked out to the back mountain of the temple and picked some herbs. What he didn't know was that someone was following him.
Only after Qianli saw Chang Xiao collect the herbs and return to Hanshan Temple did he feel at ease to go look for Gu Yunran.
"Second Madam, Chang Xiao just went to the back mountain to collect herbs."
Gu Yunran put down the book in his hand, frowned and thought for a while: "Follow him closely, he will definitely make another move."
"Yes, but Second Madam, you are here..."
"Don't we still have Ruizhu?" Gu Yunran said calmly, "Mu Qianxue is lying in bed now and can't do anything. You just need to keep an eye on Chang Xiao."
"I understand."
The wind is cold and the night is dark and windy.
Sure enough, in the second half of the night, a figure in black night clothes slipped out quietly.
Looking at the familiar figure, Qianli knew that this person was Chang Xiao.
"Going out dressed like this must be about to do something bad again."
Qianli muttered to himself and followed Chang Xiao quietly.
They came to a mountain top where there was a village.
Chang Xiao quietly found the village chief's room, opened the door and walked in.
The village chief was spending a good night with his wife when suddenly a man walked in with a swagger, and he was startled.
"Who are you? Why are you in my village?"
The woman was so frightened that she hugged the quilt and cried loudly. Chang Xiao sat beside the table, poured himself a glass of water, and drank it.
Perhaps the woman's crying was too annoying, Chang Xiao flicked his finger and a hidden weapon flew out, piercing the woman's throat.
The woman collapsed on the spot.
"You! How dare you kill my wife right under my nose!"
"Someone come!"
"Someone come! Someone come!"
But he called several times and no one answered.
Chang Xiao said expressionlessly, "Stop yelling! Your brothers are like idiots. I've already knocked them down."
"What?" The man was shocked, his whole body trembling with fear. He looked at Chang Xiao in horror, his lips trembling: "Who are you? What do you want to do?"
The man was naked and was so scared that he forgot to put on his clothes. Chang Xiao picked up his clothes and threw them at him.
"Put it on!"
"Yes!" The man shuddered with fear, subconsciously picked up his clothes and put them on hurriedly. He even put his clothes on backwards without realizing it.
Chang Xiao poured another glass of water and drank it.
The room was dead silent. The cold wind was howling outside, blowing open the window. The cold wind entered the room, making the man feel even colder.
The temperature in the room almost reached freezing point, and the man couldn't help but shiver.
He asked timidly, "My Lord, what do you want? You can take whatever I have."
He took off a bunch of keys from his waist, took a cautious step forward, put them on the table, and then quickly stepped aside.
"This is the key to my warehouse. All my belongings over the years are here. I give them all to you."
Chang Xiao glanced at the key, reached out and took it in his hand: "You are sensible."
The man wiped his sweat and thought, "Thank goodness, it turned out to be just a robbery."
However, the man did not feel sorry for giving him the warehouse key. After all, so much money was not earned by his hard work, but was robbed.
At worst, we can move to another place and he will go and steal someone else's.
Unexpectedly, Chang Xiao returned the key to the warehouse to him: "I am here to do business with you."
"Ah?" The man's eyes widened in surprise and he looked at Chang Xiao. He thought he had misheard and asked again, "Sir, what did you say?"
"I'm here to bring you business." Chang Xiao said firmly. He took out a painting from his pocket and threw it on the table. "This woman is very rich. She will pass by here at noon tomorrow. If you make a fortune from this, you will never have to worry about food and drink in your next life."
The man opened the scroll and looked at the beauty in it, his eyes lit up.
"She's still a beauty."
Chang Xiao smiled and nodded: "Yes, she is a great beauty. If you do this job well, you will not only have food and clothing, but you will also be able to marry her."
The man looked at the person in the painting, his mouth watering. He wiped his saliva and said, "Is there such a good thing?"
He put the painting back on the table and said, "Nothing comes easy. Tell me, why did you tell me this?"
"Smart." Chang Xiao snapped his fingers. "I asked you to rob her because..."
