Chapter 1537 Assassination of Tao Lan

Tao Lan was sitting in the garden, and Yan Jin, who was short in stature, was sitting on a stone bench beside her with his two legs hanging in the air. Without looking closely, one could see that his left leg was obviously shorter than his right leg.

Mr. Mo was squatting on one knee behind He Yanjin, applying medicine to his coccyx.

Tao Lan caressed her son's yellow and thin face with heartache. She fed him various nutritional supplements every day, but his complexion was not good.

Also, he has stopped growing taller since last year, and is now half a head shorter than his peers.

Tao Lan is very tall, and He Yanpo is not as tall as those generals, but he is not short in the crowd. However, their son may...

Tao Lan's eyes were red and she didn't want to think about it any further.

"Mother, are you crying?" He Yanjin's voice was well-behaved and sensible.

Tao Lan forced a smile and said, "No, it might be because of the strong wind in the courtyard that my mother's eyes were blinded."

"It's okay, mother. It doesn't hurt at all to apply this medicine."

The more her son acted like this, the more Tao Lan's heart ached.

She nodded: "Well, Mr. Mo likes you so much, he will definitely not let you get hurt."

Liu Yue led Lin Wumei in from outside.

"Madam," Liu Yue said, "Bring Lin Wumei here."

Tao Lan calmed down her emotions, took a deep breath, then turned around and looked at Lin Wumei who was following Liu Yue with a cold and majestic gaze.

Seeing that she was indeed alone, Tao Lan asked, "Where is Lu Wuwei?"

Lin Wumei saw He Yanjin and Mr. Mo squatting behind him. She didn't expect to see such a scene and quickly lowered her head again.

"Madam is asking you a question." Liu Yue said coldly.

Lin Wumei said, "Just now, I mentioned this to Miss Liuyue outside. Our master was attacked by A Li's army in Qisan Mountain, Guizhou, and was seriously injured."

Tao Lan said: "Mubu Yifan and Xuexiang Shenmu were with you at that time."

"Yes, thousands of soldiers suddenly arrived. No matter how good our skills were, we were outnumbered. In the chaos, my husband and I ran towards Leigong Mountain, while Mubu Yifan and Xuexiang Shenmu went to Yunzhou."

"The thing you said to give me is related to the Snow Fragrance Sacred Tree. What is it?"

"She said that this item is her favorite." Lin Wumei spread out her palm, and an exquisite jade pendant lay in her palm.

Tao Lan gave a look, Liu Yue nodded, and took the jade token from Lin Wumei's hand.

Lin Wumei said, "The situation was too chaotic at the time, and she accidentally dropped the jade token on the ground. I have always wanted to return it to her, but I didn't dare to show up at that time, and the master still needs my care, so I sent it to her now."

Tao Lan took the jade token handed over by Liu Yue and looked at it carefully: "It should be closer to Lan Ze City, and you still have three Dong Lu."

"We only have one copy of the Three Daos of Dong Lu, which is in the possession of my fourth sister. She was also the one who went to Lan Ze City to contact the Xuexiang Divine Tree. However, my brother and sister had a miserable life. When they were in Hengxiang, they were harmed by...A Li and Shen Lie, and the Three Daos of Dong Lu in my fourth sister's possession were also lost. I could only go around from the First Dao of Dong Lu, and it took me a long time to get here."

When saying these words, Lin Wumei's voice was obviously choked and tears welled up in her eyes.

How ridiculous! If it was really done by Ali and Shen Lie, how great would that be?

Unfortunately, the person who killed them was Lu Wuwei.

Moreover, Lu Wuwei wanted to kill her.

Tao Lan raised her eyelids calmly and glanced at Lin Wumei.

This sadness is not fake.

Tao Lan handed the jade token to Liu Yue and said, "This jade token is indeed exquisite. I will arrange for someone to deliver it to her."

Lin Wumei asked, "Xuexiang Shenmu, is she okay?"

"No, she came back alone. She had someone with her on the way, but that person got sick and had no money to treat it, so he died on the way."

Lin Wumei pursed her lips and whispered, "Can I... go see her?"

"No," Tao Lan sneered, "You are a Han Chinese. Zhu Xiuying's youngest son was killed by Shen Lie. So in recent months, Zhu Xiuying has hated and despised Han Chinese. He has tortured and killed one or two Han Chinese slaves every day."

"Han people..." Lin Wumei looked at Tao Lan, "Madam, you seem to be Han people too."

Tao Lan's expression suddenly changed: "Shut up! I'm not Han Chinese!"

Lin Wumei was slightly frightened and her eyes widened.

Tao Lan angrily shouted, "Han people are lowly! Who wants to be a Han? I am a Northern Yuan person now, and my children are all Northern Yuan people!" "Madam, calm down!" Lin Wumei hurriedly stepped forward and knelt on one knee, "Madam, I was wrong, I said something wrong, that's right, Madam, I am not a Han person!"

"Mother..." He Yanjin was most afraid that Tao Lan would suddenly change her expression. Every time Tao Lan scolded the servants, He Yanjin would reach out and grab Tao Lan's sleeve.

Tao Lan held He Yanjin's hand and said in a gentle voice, "Don't be afraid, Jin'er. Mother is fine. She is just afraid that people will gossip about her in the future. My Jin'er has the noblest Northern Yuan bloodline. Jin'er is a Northern Yuan person."

He Yanjin nodded, and curved his lips to reveal a lovely smile: "Well, Jin'er is from Beiyuan, we Beiyuan people are noble and elegant!"

"Yes," Tao Lan gently pinched his smiling face, "When Jin grows up, he will be as handsome and cool as your father."

Lin Wumei knelt on the ground with her head down, but her eyes were always on Liu Yue beside her, as well as the maids and nuns.

It can be confirmed that now everyone's attention is attracted to Tao Lan and her son.

Lin Wumei's eyes suddenly turned cold and fierce. This was the best opportunity to strike!

  Lu Wuwei, we brothers and sisters are loyal to you, but in return you treat us most cruelly!

Tao Lan, we would go through fire and water for you, travel all over the world, and work as hard as oxen and horses, but you really treat us like dogs!

Then don’t even think about it, I will destroy all of you with my own hands!

Because she was kneeling on one knee and Lin Wumei took a step forward while kneeling, her sprint speed when she jumped up was very fast.

At the same time, the blade hidden in her sleeve slid out and headed straight for Tao Lan's neck.

Liu Yue was shocked and chased after him immediately.

When the blade in Lin Wumei's hand was about to cut Tao Lan's neck, Mr. Mo, who was squatting behind He Yanjin, jumped out in surprise.

Lin Wumei's arm was pushed away forcefully, and the patch rubbed against Tao Lan's neck.

Lin Wumei took advantage of the situation and spun around, kicking Tao Lan. At the same time, she was hit on the shoulder by Mr. Mo, and Liu Yue also came to capture her.

Lin Wumei covered her shoulder and quickly got up. The force of the palm was so great that it was enough to make her realize that she was no match for this man.

So Lin Wumei turned around and ran out without hesitation.

Liu Yue was about to chase after him when he heard Tao Lan's screams from behind.

Tao Lan's big belly hit the stone table. She held her belly with both hands, and blood quickly spread on her dress.

All the maids and nuns around came over, and suddenly a maid covered her mouth and screamed.

Everyone followed her gaze and looked at He Yanjin.

He Yanjin sat on a stone bench with his eyes wide open and his body trembling. There was a very long and thin cut on the skin on his face, and a large amount of blood gushed out of the cut like a waterfall.

Lin Wumei's blade fell next to his stone bench.

Tao Lan raised her head from the severe pain and saw the cut on He Yanjin's face. She cried out miserably, then closed her eyes and fainted.

Dingyun rode out of the city on horseback and delivered the news of Mr. Mo's return to He Yanpo.

He Yanpo's good mood did not last long, as news came that Tao Lan and He Yanjin had gotten into trouble.

He Yan, who was always good-tempered, was furious. He walked out and said, "Where's the murderer? The murderer has been caught!"

The one who came to report the news was Mr. Mo's apprentice. He shook his head and said, "No, it happened too suddenly. Madam and the young master are in trouble again."

"We must find her! Pass my order, the whole city is under martial law, I want her portrait to be everywhere in the world!"

He Yanpo, Dingyun and others left quickly.

In the lobby, the officials who were talking to He Yanpo were at a loss and could only watch He Yanpo leave. At the same time, everyone was shocked by the news.

A minor clerk was sitting behind a desk in the corner, holding a pen.

Because he had beautiful handwriting and wrote fluently and quickly, he was responsible for writing down the main points of the officials' conversations.

Thinking of this, the minor clerk became furious.

  Nonsense, how could his handwriting not be beautiful?

When Daqian was still alive, in order to pass the imperial examinations, he endured many late nights, lit many candles, and broke many pens. Finally, he stood out from the crowd of students and finally became an official in Congxin Prefecture.

As a result, following He Yanpo here, he, who had once been a successful official wherever he went, was actually placed here as a minor clerk who only took notes of meetings!

Now, the minor official also raised his head and looked at the backs of He Yanpo and the others as they walked away.

He just received a letter from "the superiors" early in the morning saying that he could start "working", but now such a big thing has happened.
