The subtle fragrance of cotton needles

Chapter 246: Rampant Again

After the three previous assassination attempts, Mo Yuchen and Dongfang Xujiang became more vigilant and never left Xia Yanxiang and Li Guan's side for a moment.

"Uncle, this is a letter from the northwest." Not only Mo Xuanxuan received the news, but Mo Xuanyang also received the news.

Xu Zhongshi took the letter and quickly finished reading it: "Tell them not to move for the time being."

"Why?" Mo Yuyang didn't understand. Shouldn't he try to kill Mo Yuchen on his way to the northwest?

Xu Zhongshi burned the letter and said, "Miss San almost died this time. Prince Luo and General Pu Wei will definitely strengthen their guard. It will be basically impossible for them to attack again."

"What happened this time?" Xu Zhongshi frowned. Didn't he say he would protect Xia Yanxiang? How did he almost kill Xia Yanxiang?

Mo Yuyang also frowned: "Originally, I planned to drown the Third Miss in the water for a while, and then rescue her after killing Prince Luo. I didn't expect Prince Luo to escape."

"All the people we sent this time are experts, but they can't even kill King Luo?" Xu Zhongshi snorted coldly.

Mo Yuyang asked, "It is said that poison was used?"

"Use poison? King Luo also knows how to use poison?"

Mo Yuyang shook his head: "Based on my understanding of King Luo and my years of investigation, he would not use poison, and the poison also came from an unknown source."

"It seems that there are other people behind King Luo."

Xu Zhongshi shook his head: "Not likely, didn't you say before that the Third Miss also knows medical skills?"

Mo Yuyang was obviously stunned. Oh, why did he forget this? "Yes! When Xihe gave birth to the child, it was the Third Miss who saved the child! However, we only know that the Third Miss knows medical skills, but may not know how to use poison."

Xu Zhongshi sneered: "Don't forget, Dongfang Ji is also in their team."

In this way, they have alerted the enemy and can no longer continue.

"We'll make plans after they get to the northwest."

"Yes."

Xia Zhibai quickened his pace and headed northwest, and finally arrived in mid-August.

Since the last assassination, Xia Zhibai and others have been on high alert. Unexpectedly, they had a safe journey without any setbacks.

When they arrived in the northwest, Xia Yanxiang began to show symptoms of acclimatization. After surviving Xia Zhibai's initial inspection, Xia Yanxiang fell ill.

Since Xia Zhibai and others arrived in the northwest, they had more things to deal with and had no time to visit Xia Yanxiang. Everything was handled by Yue Qing and Li Guan.

Although Xia Zhiyang was also feeling a little uncomfortable, he was a man after all, and it was just a little uncomfortable, and he could still bear it. Yue Qing still forced him to drink the medicine.

"Master's wife! How are my brothers and the others?" Xia Yanxiang was still a little groggy. She didn't know how long she had slept. Her body felt sticky and she seemed to have a high fever.

Yue Qing was getting a cold towel for Xia Yanxiang. When she saw that Xia Yanxiang had woken up, she immediately told Yu Kui to bring the medicine over. "It's okay. Your brother and his men have been recruiting soldiers these days, so they just don't have time to come."

Xia Yanxiang nodded weakly: "That's good."

However, Xia Yanxiang suddenly remembered another thing: "By the way, where is King Luo?"

"Prince Luo has been training in the army these days. Don't worry, everything is fine." Knowing that Xia Yanxiang was worried about these things, Yue Qing explained them one by one.

"Li's left arm is still injured. I sent her to rest. She has been guarding your bedside day and night. If she doesn't rest, I'm afraid she won't be able to hold on."

Xia Yanxiang nodded.

"Although your brother did not come here, he sent a message saying that he would negotiate with the enemy in two days."

This is what Yue Qing is most worried about: "If peace talks don't work, war will probably break out."

"So fast?"

Yue Qing nodded and took off the handkerchief on Xia Yanxiang's forehead: "Don't worry about these things for now, take care of your own body first."

"Your brother also said that you are not allowed to interfere for the time being."

Xia Yanxiang knew what Xia Zhibai meant. She didn't understand military affairs, so the only thing she could do was to take care of herself first and then check the situation after a few days.

Although no one tried to assassinate Mo Yuchen along the way, now that they had arrived in the northwest, Xia Yanxiang was not sure when Mo Yuyang would take action again.

After Li Guan woke up, he found out that Xia Yanxiang's fever had subsided. He hurried over to see her and found that she was almost well.

"Ayan!" Li Guan came over hurriedly.

Xia Yanxiang is now able to take medicine on her own. When Li Guan came, she was drinking porridge.

Seeing this, Yu Kui hurried to inform Yue Qing and Yun Wu.

"Why are you here? You're not well yet, why don't you take a good rest?" Xia Yanxiang put down the rough bowl in her hand and looked at Li Guan with some blame.

Li Guan sat down with his left arm folded: "It's nothing! I've been injured before on the battlefield in the northwest, so what's this?!"

Although she said that, Xia Yanxiang still felt sorry for Li Guan: "If you are injured, you should take good care of yourself. Don't take it lightly."

Li Guan waved his hand nonchalantly.

Yueqing and Yunwu arrived soon.

"You little bitch! Why are you running around again!" Yun Wu started talking about Li Guan as soon as she came in.

They were originally planning to change the dressing for Li Guan, but Li Guan hurriedly went to Xia Yanxiang and Yue Qing's tent without telling anyone.

"Mother!" Li Guan pouted and hugged his left arm to act coquettishly to Yun Wu.

Li Guan knew that her mother was just worried about her and didn't really want to blame her.

"You!"

Yun Wu and Yue Qing brought the medicine with them when they came. Since Li is being held at Xia Yanxiang's place, there is no need to bother them.

Xia Yanxiang felt much better now. She smiled helplessly as she watched Li Guan grimacing in pain while changing the bandages.

After changing the medicine, Li Guan's face turned pale.

"Does it hurt?" Xia Yanxiang asked knowingly.

Li Guan cried, "It hurts so much!"

Even though he said that, Li Guan didn't shed a single tear.

Yue Qing sent someone to tell Xia Zhibai that there was much better news about Xia Yanxiang, and Xia Zhibai breathed a sigh of relief.

Not only him, but also Mo Yuchen and Dongfang Xujiang beside him breathed a sigh of relief.

That’s right, Xia Zhibai secretly brought Mo Yuchen to his side.

Mo Yuchen's identity is too sensitive. If he were really placed in the army, he would probably be gone in the blink of an eye.

"General Luo, what is the current situation?" Now that he had received the news that Xia Yanxiang was fine, Xia Zhibai naturally began to focus on his business.

Luo Xie was promoted by Xia Zhibai in the northwest. After Xia Zhibai returned to Beijing, he had been the one guarding the northwest.

Luo Xie has been staying in the northwest for many years, and the skin on his face has become very dry and wrinkled. "The Rouran have been harassing the surrounding areas for a while, but since they heard that the court was going to send people, they have restrained themselves a lot. However, after the news that the general and the marquis were going to the northwest spread recently, somehow, the Rouran became rampant again."
