Chapter 572
After Cui Pu left, the atmosphere in Liangzhou and even the entire Monan and Mobei became increasingly solemn.

The men have all gone out, leaving only the female relatives at home.Without the backbone to stand up to the door, everyone felt uneasy, so they kept inquiring about the current situation.But the more they knew, the more flustered they became.

Of course, the best place for everyone to inquire about news is Mu Jiaojiao's place.After all, she is now the wife of the Hexi Jiedushi, and she must be the first to know whenever there is any latest news.

People came to look for them at the gate all day long, and when they disagreed, they began to cry. Mu Jiaojiao was so disturbed that he simply organized people every day, and everyone prepared medicines for the soldiers and prepared for marching and fighting. Essential cheese and other food.Every time a batch is made, she asks someone to send a batch to Cui Pu, and then continue to make.

With things at hand busy, everyone really didn't feel so anxious.Mrs. Cui Wu, Mrs. Cui Qi, Mrs. Cui Ba and the young ladies of the Cui family knew that these things were going to be sent to the soldiers, so they all rolled up their sleeves and came to help.

The eldest lady originally wanted to come to protect Mu Jiaojiao.It's just that she is the daughter-in-law of the Li family after all, and now that the war is going on, Li Guangbi and his son also went to the battlefield with Guo Ziyi, and the Li family only left a house full of women and children.It is impossible for the eldest lady to leave her sister-in-law to take care of the family affairs, so she can only ask someone to send a message to Mu Jiaojiao, saying that she will come to visit them when the situation is more stable.Now she is also preparing medicinal materials and other things for the soldiers with her sister-in-law in Shuofang.

Ever since Cui Pu and Mr. Da Lang went out, the little lady and Mr. Er Lang gathered beside Mu Jiaojiao.Especially the little lady, she was inseparable from Mu Jiaojiao almost every day, and even slept with her at night.

In her words: "My father is gone, my elder sister is married, my elder brother is not at home, and my second brother is unreliable. I only have my mother and you can rely on me. Moreover, my elder sister and father have repeatedly told me, Let me protect you, Auntie!"

It's a pity that such a righteous little appearance is placed on this delicate little doll, which is against harmony no matter how you look at it.

But this is also the child's filial piety, Mu Jiaojiao did not refuse.Moreover, since she got married to Cui Pu, except for going back to Chang'an a few times and leaving him on her own initiative, she was always with him at other times.This is the first time that he has left her on his own initiative. This feeling is very strange, and she feels empty in her heart every moment.Especially when sleeping at night, when a person occupies a huge bed, occasionally I think of something and turn around to talk to him, only to find that the person next to the pillow is no longer there.

Although Cui Pu has been receiving letters since he left.But how can a few thin sheets of paper be compared with a living person?
Mu Jiaojiao felt that she seemed to be suffering from lovesickness.

She is in her 40s, but she has started to suffer from lovesickness, which is hard for her to say.

So the little lady took the initiative to accompany her now, at least it relieved her depression and worry a little bit, and she could sleep peacefully at night.

However, this brief evaluation did not last long.

On this day, Mu Jiaojiao took a shower and changed clothes as usual, and then slept with the little lady.However, in her sleep, she faintly smelled something strange, and immediately opened her eyes.

Turning his head, he saw that the little lady was also looking at her with wide round eyes.

"Aniang, why do I smell the drug?" the little lady whispered.

Her training for this child over the years finally had an effect, and she knew the ingredients of the medicine as soon as she smelled it.

Mu Jiaojiao hurriedly made a silent gesture, then quietly took out two daggers from under the pillow, handed one to the little lady, and held the other in her hands.

Not long after, there was a light sound, and the bolt on the door was pried open, and then a few people who were all wrapped in black cloth, with only a pair of eyes exposed, came in.

Listening to the sound of footsteps, Mu Jiaojiao noticed that these people were getting closer and closer, just as the leader stretched out his hand to lift the curtain, Mu Jiaojiao made a decisive decision and swung the dagger towards his neck.

Before the man could cry out, he fell down clutching his neck.

By the time the people behind reacted, this person had already fallen to the ground, and a large pool of blood quickly accumulated under his neck.

Everyone couldn't help taking a step back, and a look of defense appeared in their eyes.

Mu Jiaojiao sat up holding the dagger: "Who are you? What are you doing at our house at night?"

"Mrs. Cui, please forgive me. We have no other intentions. It's just that our master is sick, and we specially come to ask you to go and treat him." A person who should be the leader of this group immediately stood up and said.

Mu Jiaojiao looked at them coldly. "I've never seen anyone hire someone like this!"

"That's because if we invite you in an open and honest manner, you will definitely not agree." The other party said conveniently.

"You are from Anlu Mountain!" Mu Jiaojiao immediately realized.

The man in black's eyes flickered, and he approached again: "Since Mrs. Cui has guessed it, we have to take you away. Of course, we know that you are also good at poisoning, but don't forget, you After all, you are only one person. There are hundreds of people in this house, but they don't have much skill. If you really want to fight us, we don't mind capturing everyone and killing them one by one in front of you. We You have already disregarded life and death, but you should not be too far, right?"

Mu Jiaojiao looked at them with serious eyes: "The boils on An Lushan's body are getting worse?"

"I don't know about this, I will make a decision after you have gone to see it, Madam." The man in black said, and then stepped aside, "Madam Cui, please follow us quickly! After dawn, this mansion is going to die more people."

Mu Jiaojiao clenched her fists tightly, and the little lady couldn't help it anymore, so she crawled over and hugged her arms. "Aunt~"

"Of course, in order to make Mrs. Cui obedient, this little lady, please come with us." The man in black immediately said again.

Mu Jiaojiao's face darkened. "Don't bully people too much!"

"Mrs. Cui, please forgive me. I was ordered to come here to invite you. If we cannot invite you, or fail to send you safely to the master, it will be our negligence. In order to complete the task, we can only do this. But Cui Ma'am, please rest assured, as long as you are obedient, we guarantee that we will not harm you and the little lady." The man in black said, then stood up as a gesture of invitation.

"Aniang, don't go with them." The little lady whispered again.

Mu Jiaojiao squeezed her daughter's hand in her palm. "Let's get up and get dressed."

"Madam Cui is really a wonderful woman, I'm waiting to admire it!" Seeing that she gave in, the man in black immediately took another step back, but the group of them still firmly guarded the gate and window where they could escape.

Mu Jiaojiao's feet landed on the ground, and while she was dressing and combing her hair, she looked outside, and saw that the yard outside was also full of men dressed in black like them—these people had already occupied her yard. up!No wonder they are so confident.

Just don't know, what's the situation elsewhere?How about Mr. Erlang?What's the situation with the fifth sister-in-law, the seventh sibling and the eighth sibling?With such a big fight among these people, it stands to reason that it shouldn't be so peaceful outside!Mu Jiaojiao was thinking in her heart, while she had already put on all the clothes.

The little lady also quickly put on a pair, and leaned close to Mu Jiaojiao again.

The man in black opened the door: "Mrs. Cui, Miss Cui, this way please."

The mother and daughter followed them out of the room, and Mu Jiaojiao saw a few figures lying in a pool of blood—these were all people who went tonight and were killed by them.

Mu Jiaojiao's heart shrank, and then he stared at the past again.The man in black didn't seem to notice it, and just kept walking.However, they didn't go to the courtyard, but to the side room.

Mu Jiaojiao's mother and daughter followed passively.She didn't see clearly until she was in the ear room - just in the ear room, there was a hole in the ground that could allow one person to go in and out!
"You came in from this place?" Mu Jiaojiao was startled.But when facing the man in black, she still behaved very calmly.

The man in black nodded.

Mu Jiaojiao closed her eyes. "I see, I see."

No wonder the mansion is still so quiet, no wonder these people can come and go freely in the mansion, it's all thanks to this cave!

And they didn't know when someone dug a hole leading to here!
If Cui Pu was here, he would definitely die of anger when he saw this burrow, right?

"Mrs. Cui, Miss Cui, please!" Several men in black jumped in without hesitation, and the leader of the men in black once again gestured to Mu Jiaojiao.

Mu Jiaojiao walked over with her daughter.Seeing the dark hole below, the little lady quickly shrank beside her: "Mother, I'm afraid."

"Don't be afraid, little lady, there's a Niang!" Mu Jiaojiao said softly, then looked up at the group of people, "I haven't got my medicine box yet."

"You don't need those, the master must have prepared them for you." The man in black said, not giving her a chance to call for help.

Mu Jiaojiao gritted her teeth, took her daughter with her, and walked into the cave.
