Originally, she was planning to take Wen Xiuqi with her and jump directly out of the window, but there were two other people in the house, and Wen Xiuqi's guards should be waiting outside Qingfang. Except for her master, almost no one else knew that Qiu Muchi knew martial arts.
So she would not reveal the secret so directly, and planned to walk out quietly through the front door.
She had observed before that Wen Xiuqi came quietly and did not enter through the main gate. She probably took his identity as the son of the Marquis of Yongning into consideration. She covered Wen Xiuqi's head with a veil so that people who were not particularly familiar with him would not recognize him. As for herself, she was going to disguise herself, but after thinking about it, she realized that her reputation was already bad and there was no need to disguise herself. Otherwise, she would be too conspicuous.
As soon as Mu Ci walked out the door, he was frightened by the scene outside.
The cheers outside were very loud. Looking down from the upstairs, everyone seemed to be shouting heart-wrenchingly with their necks stretched out and their faces red.
Oh my god, the heroine’s halo is about to explode!
Mu Ci rubbed her ears; the noise was so deafening that she couldn't stand it.
She reached out and patted the face of Wen Xiuqi who was unconscious beside her.
The man leaned against Mu Ci unconsciously, his cold face pressed against her neck, as if he was addicted to the warmth there. His breaths hit it one by one, carrying a pleasant, light medicinal scent, and his breathing was steady.
Finally, when the other party still didn't respond, Mu Ci decided to give up.
Staying here is not a long-term solution. Their identities are not suitable for being here, so it is better for them to leave as soon as possible.
At this moment, Mu Ci suddenly felt fortunate that this time the setting had the internal force of martial arts, otherwise with her small body she might not be able to carry Wen Xiuqi around so easily.
Mu Ci took Wen Xiuqi with her, and while everyone's attention was focused on the masked woman in the center of the stage, she tried her best to minimize her presence and walked towards the door.
Her heart was pounding and her palms were sweating from nervousness.
A few steps away from the front door, Mu Ci calmed down, with a cold face, intimidating without anger, and looked like someone who was not easy to mess with. The madam who was about to greet her at the door was frightened by her appearance and froze there, not daring to go over.
Everyone knows that the Tenth Princess Qiu Muchi has a bad temper and likes to beat people for no reason. Seeing the unsatisfied look on the Tenth Princess's face, she doesn't want to get herself skinned if she goes up to her at this time.
Besides, everyone knows that the Tenth Princess has strong tastes and likes to play big, and it is said that she does not care about whether she is a man or a woman.
The madam exchanged glances with the other girls standing at the door, and no one tried to provoke them. They just shouted from a distance, "Goodbye, come again!"
I will never come again! Goodbye, no need to see you off!
Mu Ci heaved a sigh of relief, but just as he stepped out the door, a hurried voice came from outside.
"Tenth sister! Why did you leave?"
Wow! Who is this? Why did he choose this time to come?
"The Ninth Prince, Qiu Yingfa, and the Tenth Princess, that is, you, have a very good personal relationship. Both of them are extremely lustful and often hang out together. Qiu Muci's lust is limited, but Qiu Yingfa's lust is after all vile." The system suddenly explained.
What the hell.
"But... System, you haven't left yet?" Mu Ci asked.
"Well, I'll wait a little longer. It's not time yet, and you may need me later." said the system.
Hearing it say this, Mu Ci immediately felt relieved.
She looked up and saw a tall, thin man walking towards her. He wasn't bad looking, but he was too greasy and his expression looked wretched. He was followed by two guards.
Thinking of his settings, Mu Ci felt a chill.
"I have something to do at home. I'm leaving first." Mu Ci frowned, not wanting to talk to him any more, and turned around to leave.
"Hey, hey, hey, tenth sister, you are talking nonsense. You are holding a little beauty in your arms. You say that something happened in your house, but you can't fool anyone but me, your ninth brother! Tenth sister, you are busy doing things!" Qiu Ying raised his feet and followed over. His eyes fell on Wen Xiuqi, who was sleeping in Mu Ci's arms with his head covered, and he said teasingly.
Because he was worried about causing more trouble, Mu Ci frowned and responded casually, feeling very irritated.
Qiu Yingfa had an expression that said "as expected".
But he had no intention of leaving. He stared at her for a long time, then raised his hand to pull at the veil.
"Get out! Take your stinky claws away!" Mu Ci slapped his hand aside and glared at him viciously.
Qiu Yingfa was not angry when she said this. Qiu Muci had such a bad temper on weekdays. Although the two of them often played together, once Qiu Yingfa pissed her off, she would not be polite at all when talking to Qiu Yingfa.
Qiuying noticed that she was about to take the whip, and knew that she had triggered her acute illness. She smiled awkwardly and then withdrew her restless hand.
But the next moment, she suddenly asked: "Male or female?"
“…”
You've been lingering here for so long, thinking I'm hugging a woman? You can't see it at your height! How deep is her reputation as a lecherous woman with no regard for men or women?
"A man!" Mu Ci said hatefully, almost gritting his teeth.
Hearing Mu Ci talking about men, Qiu Yingfa lost interest instantly. He was not as shameless as Qiu Mu Ci. He waved his hand and said casually, "Go ahead, go ahead. Brother Jiu won't bother you anymore."
Mu Ci heard this but didn't leave. He looked at him with a cold, warning look and said, "Qiu Yingfa, you'd better stay out of my business. Otherwise, if you make me angry, I don't mind telling my father about your mess."
Having said that, his cold and frightening gaze fell on the two guards behind him, and the two of them shuddered slightly.
She knew exactly what Qiuying was planning.
It didn't matter if he investigated her affairs, but Wen Xiuqi's whereabouts must not be exposed. Thinking of this, Mu Ci's eyes became even colder.
Qiu Ying froze, her face darkened for a moment, and when she looked over again, she was already smiling and said, "Tenth sister, how dare I interfere in your affairs? Okay, okay, I won't say any more. I'm going to go see Miss Qingcheng!"
Mu Ci watched him and his men go in with his own eyes before he left.
Wen Xiuqi's men were nearby, and as soon as Mu Ci appeared, a man in black flashed in front of him. And the next moment, a sword was directly across the other side of Mu Ci's neck.
"Tell me! What did you do to the master!" The man in black was probably a secret guard hired by Wen Xiuqi, so he didn't care about some status levels. He only cared about the life and safety of his master.
"Nothing. He went to Qingfang to find me and suddenly fainted. I had to take him out." Mu Ci looked innocent.
She didn't dare to say directly that she was the one who made his master faint. It wouldn't be too late to talk about those things after Wen Xiuqi woke up. If she told the truth, the black man in front of her would probably stab her to death with a sword.
The man in black looked at Mu Ci suspiciously, thinking that although his master couldn't use internal energy, he was still more than capable of dealing with the stupid princess in front of him. But why did his master faint? He hadn't been sick recently.
After thinking for a while, his eyes suddenly fell on Qingfang not far away, and then he thought of the purpose of his master's visit. As if he thought of something, he suddenly retracted the sword, and then looked at Mu Ci with disgust and contempt.
Mu Ci breathed a sigh of relief as the danger to his life was temporarily averted, but he saw that the black man had a very troubled look on his face.
So what? She didn't do anything annoying.
"Leave the master to me!" the man in black said coldly.
The master must have seen something unspeakable in Qingfang, which caused him to faint. It was all because of this woman!
Seeing that someone had taken over the weak male protagonist in his arms, Mu Ci was naturally happy to have some free time.
"Okay, okay, I'll give you your master. I don't want him if you give him to me!"
The man in black looked unhappy when he heard her words showing her disdain for her master.
Mu Ci finished speaking, pulled Wen Xiuqi's face away from his neck, and pushed it away. However, the next moment he suddenly pulled Wen Xiuqi back into his arms and pushed the man in black away.
"What are you doing..." The man in black saw that she went back on her word and pushed him back. He was about to scold her, but he saw a flying knife stuck in the floor where he had just stood. Under the night light, it was faintly shining with venom.
He immediately retracted his breath and took a defensive posture. He subconsciously protected the place where Mu Ci and Wen Xiuqi were, and looked around vigilantly.
"who!"
As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of poisoned flying knives flew straight towards Mu Ci and the other three. They were so ferocious that they left no room for them at all and attacked with full murderous intent.
The man in black swung his sword and knocked them down one by one.
"He is a professionally trained killer, probably from... Shadow Pavilion!"
Mu Ci looked at the pattern on the dagger just now, thought of the description of the plot, and said.
"How do you know it's someone from Shadow Pavilion?" The man in black frowned and looked unconvinced.
"Stop talking so much nonsense. Are you really Wen Xiuqi's man? Why are you so unprofessional!" Mu Ci retorted directly.
The man in black choked.
"Someone is coming!" Mu Ci reminded coldly.
At this time, the man in black had no time to wonder why this stupid princess could sense the approach of murderous aura earlier than him.
Soon, a group of men in black clothes and wearing black masks appeared in front of him. Each of them was filled with hostility, with no fluctuations in their eyes. They seemed to be just killing machines, and their moves were ruthless.
Qiu Muci's martial arts skills are actually unfathomable. For Muci, this setting can almost be regarded as an instinctive impulse of the body and can be used directly.
Mu Ci grabbed Wen Xiuqi and fought back with each move.
It seems that professional killers are still very professional, and Brother Hei can only be regarded as a secret guard.
"It seems that you can no longer keep the secret of your martial arts skills." The system suddenly said.
"It depends on the situation. If I don't take action now, my life will be in danger. Besides, the hero is still here. If I abandon him, once he blows his hair, the world will collapse and my mission will be over." Mu Ci replied.
"Do you know who is standing on the roof in front?" the system suddenly asked.
"who?"
"One of the male supporting characters, the head of Shadow Pavilion, Shadow, the man in the heroine's harem. Here he comes!"
"he?!!"
Shadow, wait, in the plot, he was injured because he was poisoned and then slapped hard by someone. Poison... Wen Xiuqi seems to be good at using poison, so, the plot is right again? Shadow accepted the post and came to assassinate Wen Xiuqi, the son of Yongning Marquis.
But now Wen Xiuqi is dizzy!
Mu Ci didn't have time to think about it because the shadow had already arrived.
The man was quite arrogant, not wearing a mask like other killers. He had cold eyes, like a vicious wolf, his gaze was full of murderous intent, his moves were crisp and clear, each one aimed at the fatal point on the face.
Mu Ci also became serious. There was someone with her, so her moves were inevitably restricted. She had to be extremely vigilant at this moment.
After dozens of moves, Mu Ci gradually realized that this man was indeed coming for Wen Xiuqi, because every palm strike from Shadow was accompanied by cold air, which must have been a specially practiced Ice Palm.
If Wen Xiuqi had been hit hard by that blow, given his illness, he would definitely have lived five years less. But Wen Xiuqi was short-lived and didn't have many years left to live.
Gradually, Mu Ci's physical strength was depleted. It was not a good idea to keep fighting like this. When she was about to try her best to withstand Shadow's icy palm, a man in black next to her suddenly turned around and attacked her. Mu Ci had no time to dodge, and had no time to withdraw her outward moves. She was hit by Shadow's palm, and Wen Xiuqi next to her was also corroded by the coldness.
"court death!"
Mu Ci was furious. He endured the pain in his body and kicked the black-clothed man who had just attacked him. Then he grabbed Wen Xiuqi and fled.
Shadow was badly injured by the palm strike from Mu Ci just now, and did not chase after him.
"Let's go!" Mu Ci shouted to the black guy over there.
The situation on Mu Ci's side was almost resolved, and Brother Hei didn't want to fight anymore, so he quickly withdrew and followed him.
After they left, Shadow stared at the direction where Mu Ci left, with cruelty and unwillingness in his eyes.
On the way.
Since Qiu Muci's cultivation technique was of extremely yang nature, even though Shadow's icy palm was very powerful, she was able to resolve a lot of it on her own. However, the situation of the person in her arms was already in dire straits.
Wen Xiuqi was leaning against Mu Ci, and she could clearly feel his body temperature dropping. The face against her neck was getting colder and colder. She tilted her head and saw that Wen Xiuqi's lips were turning white, and even his long eyelashes were covered with a layer of frost.
Her heart tightened and she prayed silently.
Male protagonist, you must not die! Otherwise, she will be guilty of a great crime!
The author has something to say: Little Wen Xiuqi has been dizzy for two chapters, it’s time to wake up... (dog head)
I guess I'll have a fight with Mu Ci when I wake up! Haha! The key is that I still can't beat him! (Laughing heartlessly, haha)
Thank you for your support, I will continue to work hard! Come on! Hehe! (*^▽^*)
