Chapter 362 Rainy Night Conspiracy

The next morning, Xuehen agreed to Duan Yang's family and worked together to do things hand in hand. I'm afraid Duan Yang had guessed this result before...

Mu Bin lives in a house west of the imperial city, not far from the old mansion of the King of Han.

Duan Yang told Xuehen that over the past few months, she had already figured out the mansion of the Mu family in the capital. The insiders, grooms, guards, gardeners, and servants were all hawks in the court, and most of them were from the Jinyiwei. However, there were no guards outside the mansion.

There were also many people around Mu Bin who followed him into Beijing from Yunnan and were sent to Nai Mu Mansion. Among them, there was a burly butler, who was once the Mu Mansion's general, and occasionally went out to buy things.

Several days after Duan Yang left Beijing, Chen Wu, the Mu family general, finally left the house. The group led the horse and walked straight south, heading to the Shangyuan County Government, and soon arrived at a downtown street with shops on both sides.

The street is noisy, and many merchants are standing outside the door to greet guests, and the sound of hawking can be heard everywhere.

After walking for a while, a woman with very white skin came out of a shop and held a jar and said, "Is the guest from Yunnan? There are fermented black beans, cooked tea, and Panax notoginseng. Come in and take a look."

"How do you know I am from Yunnan?" Chen Wu said in surprise, speaking with an Yunnan accent.

The woman said, "We sell too much of our stuff to people in Yunnan, how can we not see it? Otherwise, I will give you a can of fermented black beans first. If you think it's good, you will come again next time." The woman gave the jar in her hand home without saying a word, but stuffed another thing between his fingers.

Chen Wu's expression changed slightly, he glanced at the woman and said, "How can you be embarrassed?"

The woman turned around and walked into the shop.

...The woman just now was Duan Xueheng, and the shop was not hers. However, she told the shopkeeper that she gave her enough money and rented a small house to store local products in Yunnan. She also used Duan Yang's thousands of miles to tell the shopkeeper that she was looking for her husband for thousands of miles. The woman was always more sympathetic, especially for beautiful people, and the deal was successfully negotiated.

After two moments, Chen Wu really came to this shop again. He asked his subordinates to watch the horse and walked into the shop alone. As soon as Chen Wu walked in, Duan Xueheng called out: "Yunnan goods are here, please ask the guest."

Chen Wu Yiyan followed her. The two of them walked into the hut, and there was indeed a lot of goods piled up inside. Duan Xueheng immediately took off a hairpin from his hair, pulled it hard, and the hairpin turned into two pieces. She actually twisted out a roll of paper from it and handed it to Chen Wu silently.

The manager Chen Wu opened his eyes and his face changed suddenly.

The above is Mu Sheng's handwriting, which says: The capital is in crisis, Wu takes Bin back to Yunnan as soon as possible.

He glanced at Duan Xueheng and looked at the words on it again.

Of course, those words were imitated by Xueheng. Duan Yang learned the words Mu Ying at that time; Xueheng practiced the words Mu Chun, but Mu Chun died young, and Xuehen practiced the words Mu Sheng for several years. Duan Yang tried his best to persuade Xueheng to work together, probably because Xueheng had this ability.

However, fakes are always fake. If you take out Mu Sheng's handwriting and carefully compare the words on this piece of paper, you should be able to see the clues; it just looks very similar at first glance and is difficult to distinguish.

Duan Xueheng said in a deep voice: "Did you see clearly?"

Chen Wu nodded.

Duan Xuehen reached out to bring the note over, put it in front of Chen Wu, and swallowed it.

Chen Wu was stunned for a moment, but soon looked stunned. He asked, "What's your name?"

Duan Xueheng said: "This is not important."

Chen Wu said again: "Why haven't I seen you before?"

Duan Xueheng said: "There are many people from Mu's house that General Chen has never seen before."

Chen Wu seemed a little hesitant, and Duan Xuehen just waited silently.

What she has always done, whether it is snooping or assassination, is not sure to succeed every time; on the contrary, it fails a lot, so it is necessary for them to think of a way out for escape every time they do things.

The preparations in the early stage have always been to confuse the opponent, and the false surface is always possible to be seen through. She has never felt at ease over the years, except for the past few years in the Han Palace.

At this moment, Chen Wu said: "You go back to the Mu Mansion with me first?"

Duan Xuehen nodded and said, "It's better to have it as soon as the court starts to suspect it, the marquis's son may not be able to leave."

So Chen Wu asked his subordinates to go into the shop and moved all the goods that Duan Xuehen had stored in the cottage to the horse's back, tied them with ropes, and transported them back to the Mu Mansion. When the group returned to the house, Chen Wu's official identity was useless. The servants in the doorman searched the things they bought and asked Duan Xuehen who was. Perhaps because she was a woman, she said she was a cook who could make Yunnan cuisine, she was not embarrassed.

Duan Xueheng was temporarily arranged to the kitchen. In the afternoon, she met with the prince of Xiping Hou Mu Bin with Chen Wu's recommendation.

Mu Bin is a boy in his teens, looking like an adult, as if he was deliberately imitating the majestic expression of the Marquis. He spoke like a master, but he was a little cute.

When Duan Xuehen saw him, she naturally felt a little close. She had never lived in the Mu Mansion, but after knowing her life experience, she often felt the seemingly invisible connection when she saw the Mu family.

After dinner, Chen Wu asked Duan Xuehen to his bedroom. When Duan Xuehen walked to the door, he saw the servant who was sweeping the yard and was watching her teasingly from a distance.

"Next to the stable, there will be a groom on duty at night, not ours. There is a back door in the kitchen, and there are two slaves guarding it, not ours." Chen Wu said in a deep voice.

Duan Xueheng said: "The morning bell rings at the fifth hour of Yin and the morning bell, and you will lead two fast horses to the back door when you are ugly. We will hide in another place first. I will deal with those three people in advance."

Chen Wu said worriedly: "Nothing will happen? The two people at the back door seem to be soldiers of the Jinyi Guard."

Duan Xuehen looked at him coldly and said, "Tell me the certain position, there will definitely be no mistakes."

Chen Wu nodded.

The two of them talked for a while, and Duan Xueheng went out. Seeing that the servant who was sweeping the floor had not finished scanning, he looked up at her again.

After midnight, Duan Xueheng took off her dress outside, which was a narrow dark underwear inside. She found a cloth belt to tie her waist. This dress was easy to hide at night and was easy to move.

She stood behind the door and observed the movement, then opened a crack in the door and walked out.

The outer wall of the Mu Mansion is very high and difficult to climb over, but the inner house is only more than one person high. Duan Xueheng skillfully climbed up the brick wall and left the inner house without even making any sound. She walked to the stable and saw the groom lying half-lying on a rattan chair with a blanket. She walked over, covered the groom's mouth and nose with her left hand, stretched out her right hand, and slapped her with a palm on the groom's chin! The groom continued to lie softly on the rattan chair without even saying a word.

Then Duan Xueheng went to knock out the two sergeants at the back door.

After a while, Chen Wu indeed brought Mu Bin and led two horses over. Chen Wu did not forget to wrap cloth around the horse's hooves and cage the horse's mouth. The three of them opened the back door and walked out quietly.

Under the eaves outside, there are a few lanterns hanging in the sky, and the light on the long street is hazy. The surroundings are quiet, and in the early morning, it is probably the time when people sleep the most.

Unexpectedly, they had just walked out of the back door, closed the door and walked a few steps, and suddenly someone shouted, "Who is it?"

Duan Xueheng was shocked and thought to himself: Didn’t Duan Yang understand the details here long ago, and there are no guards outside?

Chen Wu was also shocked and hurriedly carried Mu Bin on the back of the horse. Duan Xuehen said, "You can't leave the city anymore! You go back to your house immediately, I'll leave first."

At this moment, a string suddenly sounded like a "bang"! No scream was heard, only Chen Wu shouted in a horror voice. Duan Xuehen turned his head and looked at it, and then saw a familiar woman's back.

When Duan Xuehen turned around, he saw a crossbow arrow inserted on the back of Mu Bin's head. Chen Wu was hugging Mu Bin, who was tilted on the horse's back, and tilted his head and cried.

The door of a room across the street was already opened, and several men ran out with knives in their hands.

Duan Xueheng looked at the crossbow arrow on Mu Bin's head again, as if the crossbow arrow was stabbing her heart! Her whole body was cold. She gritted her teeth and pulled out half of the bamboo chopsticks from her cuffs, took two steps forward, and stabbed Chen Wu's temple accurately.

Then she turned around and ran, exactly where the woman's back just now ran away.

At this time, raindrops as big as beans suddenly sprinkled in the sky, and Duan Xueheng's whole body soon became wet. Her eyes were blurred, tears fell down, but there was no crying, and her feet did not stop.

Xuehen suddenly realized that Duan Yang had never planned to save Mu Bin! Over the past few months, Duan Yang had completely figured out the situation in the Mu Mansion and had the determination to kill him from the beginning!

But it was almost impossible for Duan Yang to kill Mu Bin. The Mu Mansion was very cautious inside and outside, and it was difficult to sneak in; the mansion was not small, and it was difficult to find the room where Mu Bin slept for a while. Only by surging into Mu Mansion with Mu Sheng's handwriting and luring Mu Bin out first can we suddenly kill him.

Moreover, isn’t it something Duan Yang happy to see that the Mu family harmed the Mu family?

Xueheng was filled with regret, and she kept cursing herself in her heart.

Just because Duan Yang said that she was not in enough staff, she wanted to go to Huguang; a few days later, Xuehen mistakenly thought Duan Yang had left Beijing, and she didn't realize that this hint was the fatal trap... This is Xuehen's most wrong thing!

Duan Yang always talks about the grace of raising him for twenty years, and these words imply that he hates: Perhaps Duan Yang may have even a hint of warmth and affection for himself in addition to hatred. When they can reach a consensus, they can still have a temporary relationship.

Only now did I realize how thoroughly I was wrong!
