C49 The Sound of a Flute

The wind blew without a trace! It was a cold and lonely moon! Niansheng's sleeves fluttered in the night sky as he headed straight for King Lyi's mansion! It seemed like he knew everything about Mu Haiyang!

Mu Haiyang was also waiting for him, and had also recovered her strength. Lying by the door and listening to the movement outside, it was silent! But she still took advantage of the bright moonlight to see a figure guarding the door. She did not know who it was. So her actions were very careful. She returned to the bed and pretended to cough in her sleep. She told the people outside the door to rest assured that she was still there.

Another hour later, a flute suddenly sounded! It was still in the Flower Lantern Festival. This was also an extremely ordinary matter. It was a romantic scholar who spent the night on a boat by the river. He would always perform for the girl he liked. However, it was already deep into the night. The sound of the flute made the people outside the door very uneasy. It was getting closer and closer...

Mu Haiyang knew that this was an opportunity. She wanted to leave! When they met again, she was Imperial Consort, and Lyi Xuanzhi was the Royal Highness, each serving their own master. Furthermore, he still remembered this grudge. Even if he could not be ruthless enough to kill someone, he had to take revenge!

The person playing the flute was Yue Niansheng, dressed in a simple white robe. His figure was stretched out by the moonlight. He stopped under a Tong Tree that was very close to King Lyi's mansion. Autumn leaves slowly drifted down with the wind, giving off a different flavor. In this situation, there were always people who did not know what was good for them to say.

When Lyi Xuanzhi heard the sound of the flute, he left Mu Haiyang's room and instructed a few people to protect her at the door. When he arrived at the front door of the mansion, he saw Niansheng casually playing the flute. He quickly walked up to him and asked, "Why are you here in the middle of the night?" This was an unnecessary sentence. Was he expecting Niansheng to explain it to him?

When he heard his words, he did not stop playing the flute. The song had not ended yet. How could he stop it so hastily? Lyi Xuanzhi faced him, frowning as he waited for his song to end.

Mu Haiyang heard the movement in the guest room and knew that the opportunity had come. The moment she switched the door, she quietly opened the window and slipped out. The two most advantageous helpers in the residence. Both of them had their own tasks to attend to, so Mu Haiyang easily flew up to the roof. She carried Lyi Xuanzhi and disappeared into the endless lights. Niansheng calmly watched that scene, and waited for his song to end. He held the flute with both hands and respectfully bowed to Lyi Xuanzhi with a smile. He didn't say anything. He left with his hands behind his back. The Tong Ye was still swaying in the night wind, drifting down! It seemed to have a desolate feeling of autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves. It was a tragedy when people left and the building was empty.

How could he not know that this was only a scheme, a scheme to lure the tiger away from the mountain. But he, Lyi Xuanzhi, was willing to fall into the trap, even if he forced her to stay. Right now, the urgent matter at hand was to get rid of all of this. Only then would he have the chance to explain it to her face.

After returning to the courtyard, Mu Haiyang went straight back to her room and locked herself up. She did not see anyone and did not care about anyone. It was as if she had changed into a different person. She did not know what kind of evil ideas she was having inside.

The sky gradually brightened. Lyi Xuanzhi stood in front of the window of the room and stared blankly for a long time. It was not until the news from the flying pigeon that he was pulled back to reality.

The third day of the lantern festival was still the same! However, none of them could experience the excitement and joy of the event!

Even Kong Xinzhong said, Quickly send troops over!

Of course, he knew what he meant and regained his former dignity. He gathered his troops and headed straight into the deep mountains. When they reached Boss Quan's house, a small team was left behind to catch the fish that slipped through the net. The rest followed him into the mountains.

In less than an hour, Lian Kong was already waiting by Lyi Xuanzhi's side. He told him the general situation, "Your Royal Highness, the coroner has confirmed that Boss Quan died eight hours before you arrived! So the one who killed him could not be Mu Haiyang! This subordinate has already found a secret passage in the mountain that leads to the foot of the mountain. We have captured a woman, but she refused to say anything! " He waved his hand to bring the woman up. A woman in tight black clothes with a red belt tied around her waist was tied up. She was staring at the person in front of her with a face full of anger.

This woman was the one who killed Boss Quan and sent him home at night. When they returned to the mountain, they were discovered by Lian Kong. They followed her to find the secret passage and captured her alive. Everything was a scheme. Lyi Xuanzhi suddenly understood why Mu Haiyang hated him so much. It was not that he was the only one who fell for it, but both of them fell for it. One of them pretended to be Mu Haiyang and lured him to Boss Quan's house, letting him see the fact that she had killed someone. Even if Mu Haiyang did not fall into his trap, he would not let her go easily! However, Mu Haiyang fell into his trap just like him. He was sure that this scheme had something to do with him.

"Tell me, why are you pretending to be Mu Haiyang?" Lyi Xuanzhi asked in confusion. The woman was very puzzled by his question and did not answer.

"What kind of enmity do you have with Mu Haiyang? Why do you want to kill her?" His face was full of dignity as he said.

Seeing that she still did not say anything, Lyi Xuanzhi did not have patience. He signaled Lian Kong to go back and ask again. First, he had to flatten the deep mountains to relieve the anger in his heart. He waved his hand to signal for the bamboo houses to be surrounded and distributed. Lyi Xuanzhi pushed open the bamboo door by himself and headed towards the bamboo houses calmly.

The door was half open, and a few layers of gauze curtains were pushed in along with the breeze. It danced gently. At this moment, the sound of a zither could be heard from inside. Lyi Xuanzhi could vaguely see a beautiful figure through the gauze curtains. She was playing the zither in an intoxicated manner. It was as if she knew he would come, but so what if it was you?

Lyi Xuanzhi did not have the patience to wait for her to finish playing the song and push aside layers of curtains. He walked towards the deepest part. Suddenly, he heard a woman's light voice. "Your Royal Highness, please take a seat!" Before his hands could stop moving, Lyi Xuanzhi walked into the last layer of the curtain. There was a set of neatly arranged tables and chairs and tea set, and the tea seemed to have just been brewed! He sat down very impolitely. The sound of the zither inside stopped abruptly, followed by the sound of a sword being unsheathed. The woman held her sword and thrust it straight at Lyi Xuanzhi, easily dodging it. She slammed the table hard, shook the lid of the teacup, and grabbed the lid to meet it. She stabbed the second sword at the center of the cup again. Lyi Xuanzhi punched the female's head with his left hand. He did not have the slightest bit of compassion for the fairer sex. After a few rounds, the girl was obviously no match for him. No matter if it was the inner energy or strength of the sword technique, it could not be compared to him. Just as Lyi Xuanzhi threw out a punch, it hit the girl's shoulder. The lady swung her sword to block it. She took a few steps back to retract her sword. Lyi Xuanzhi saw that she had no intention of fighting again, so he let go of his tightly clenched fist. The two of them stood face to face.

The woman spoke with a gentle tone, "You are willing to lose! Let go of your black hair and I will follow you back. All of this is a sin I have committed, it has nothing to do with them" It was only then that they saw the woman's attire. She seemed to be around ten years older than Lyi Xuanzhi. It was enough to show the charm of a woman. She did not wear much clothing, and instead wore a simple, dark long dress. She looked like the wife and concubine of a rich family.

"Why are you pretending to be Mu Haiyang?" Lyi Xuanzhi did not care about anything else. He only wanted to know why he wanted to sow discord in their relationship, which they had finally settled down on.

"Your Royal Highness, I don't know what you are talking about." The woman had a puzzled expression.

Lyi Xuanzhi saw that she did not shed a tear until she saw the coffin. "Don't know? Then let me remind you, you should use Boss Quan to kill Lin and Gu first, then kill Boss Quan and send his corpse back to the house, right?"

"Yes!" The woman replied.

"I don't care what kind of hatred you have with them. I just want to ask you why you sent someone to pretend to be Mu Haiyang. Luring this king into a trap?" Lyi Xuanzhi deduced what had happened, but he didn't know why she wanted to kill the three of them. Right now, he only wanted to ask about Mu Haiyang, "Do you want to use me to kill Mu Haiyang? Or do you want to be on the safe side and be afraid that she will fall into your trap and not die? Then let this king capture and execute her after seeing her kill? Aren't you looking down on This King too much? " This kind of insignificant skill, any meticulous person would be able to sense it. Not to mention, this was a duke who had been through the imperial court for a long time, fighting openly and secretly.
