"Ayu, arrange for them to stay. I'm going to meet the eldest, third and fourth brothers." Xuanming asked the coachman to stop the carriage in front of an elegant bamboo house courtyard called "Yiran Ju" and then instructed Xiao Lengyu.
"Yes, Second Elder!"
"Master Mu, Uncle Yu, please come in!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Lengyu immediately took Mu Lige and Yu Xiaotian into two rooms in the yard to let them rest for a while, and Shan You also followed the footsteps of the two masters.
"Everyone has traveled all this way and must have been exhausted. The Second Elder will let you rest for a night. We will discuss the detoxification of Uncle Yu tomorrow. As for this little brother, please stay in the side room."
"Thank you." Mu Lige nodded to Xiao Lengyu.
"Thank you, Mr. Xiao." Shan You also politely bowed to Xiao Lengyu to express his gratitude.
"You're welcome. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first. Someone will bring you meals in the evening, but as for daily eating and bathing water, you need to get it from the well in the yard. There is also a small kitchen where you can boil water." After Xiao Lengyu arranged for the three people, he returned to his residence.
"Brother, I'm sorry! You have to work so hard for me." Yu Xiaotian, who was leaning on the bed for a nap, looked at Mu Lige, who was sitting at the table in the room, with a guilty look on his face.
"Silly Xiaotian, we are family and should keep quiet about each other. If it was me who was poisoned today, would you ignore me?" Mu Lige looked at Yu Xiaotian and smiled slightly.
"Of course not. No matter where I am, whether it's a mountain of swords or a sea of fire, for my big brother, Xiaotian will definitely not hesitate to die."
"That's right. So you don't have to feel guilty, because we are a family."
"Okay. If you want to know about Zhaoyang Kingdom, you can come to me anytime."
"There's no rush for this. First, take care of yourself and get rid of the poison."
…
After comforting Yu Xiaotian, Mu Lige returned to the next room to rest for a while.
Now that his fourth brother has recovered his memory, he must have guessed his identity. Facing the simple and kind Yu Xiaotian, Mu Lige felt a little conflicted.
In his previous life, Situ Xuanye was a brave and skilled warrior with great martial arts skills, capable of self-preservation. Therefore, when Situ Ye confided in him and expressed his desire to help him, Mu Lige agreed.
However, Yu Xiaotian's situation was different from Situ Xuanye's. While Yu Haotian possessed considerable psychic abilities, he was ultimately a weak, powerless man in a land dominated by women. Mu Lige felt a pang of reluctance to drag Yu Xiaotian into the arduous task of overthrowing Su Mutianjun's regime.
In Mu Lige's heart, perhaps Yu Xiaotian was more suitable for living in the pure environment of Xuanyi Valley. Mu Lige was unwilling and could not bear to see Yu Xiaotian's clear eyes witness all the ugliness and evil in the world.
Just as Mu Lige was agonizing over whether or not to let Yu Xiaotian join his camp, Hua Qingcheng and the others, who were traveling south in a carriage, were targeted by a group of assassins...
