Who among the gangsters wants to fall in love?

Chapter 48 Deep love between master and apprentice
Everything was normal in Prince Jin's mansion. The servants, maids and guards were doing their jobs and no signs of anyone breaking in last night were found.

Luo Xiangzhu was so frightened by Zhao Wumian that she dared not go out, for fear that some thief would show up and kidnap her. She could only stay in the house, living in fear and hoping that tomorrow night would come quickly so that she could go to Wujiu Temple to find the antidote.

Zhao Wumian said that he had fed her poison, but Luo Xiangzhu felt that Zhao Wumian was lying to her again...but she didn't dare to gamble on this matter. She didn't even dare to ask the accompanying doctor to diagnose her, for fear of exposing Zhao Wumian and harming herself.

She wanted to find Zhao Wumian to ask him clearly, but how could she know where Zhao Wumian was at the moment.

Pah Pah————

There was a knock on the door, and a maid called out from outside, "Miss, Miss Mu wants to see you."

Luo Xiangzhu came back to her senses and stood up. As soon as she walked out of the master bedroom, the door was pushed open. A mature and beautiful woman in her twenties stepped into the room. When she saw Luo Xiangzhu with a pair of charming peach blossom eyes, she smiled and asked softly, "My little princess? When are we leaving?"

Mu Lier, the junior sister of the Sword Sect’s leader... and also Luo Xiangzhu’s master.

Unfortunately, Luo Xiangzhu had been traveling around since he was a child, looking for famous doctors and miraculous medicine to treat muteness, and had no time to practice martial arts, so he had long missed the best time to practice martial arts. In addition, his talent was really a bit... I can't say it was bad, it can only be said that the foundation was not well laid, so Zhao Wumian thought that Luo Xiangzhu was not good at martial arts...

But having said that, Mu Lier cherishes her only mute disciple very much. When she heard that Mu Lier was going on a long journey, she was afraid that something might happen to her, so she protected her all the way. However, she had something to do last night and did not stay overnight in the palace... Thinking of Luo Xiangzhu, she felt a little aggrieved. If Mu Lier was there last night, how could that man break into her boudoir?

But it’s not Mu Lier’s fault. Who would have thought that the most heavily guarded palace in Taiyuan could be sneaked into?
But before Luo Xiangzhu could say anything, Mu Lier grabbed her little hand and led her into the inner room, took out paper and pen, looking very anxious.

Luo Xiangzhu had to suppress the grievance in his heart and wrote first: [The day after tomorrow, I want to take a rest today, and go to Wujiu Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha tomorrow, and we will set off again the day after tomorrow. ]

For some reason, the corner of Mu Lier's eye twitched. "What's so good about worshipping those bald asses? They're just as weird as those stinking bull noses in Wugong Mountain all day long, talking nonsense about fate and the four elements being empty. Pah! They talk about compassion all day long, but when war breaks out and refugees are everywhere, I don't see them doing anything to help the world."

Luo Xiangzhu looked helpless, but there was no need to argue with Mu Lier about this, so he wrote: [Just praying for my father. His health has been getting worse in recent years. I am very scared.]

Seeing this, Mu Lier could only sigh, "It's good to have this intention, but don't forget, we have something to do, and Jin has been uneasy these days. Even Taiyuan, under the feet of King Jin, has been shaken these days, hasn't it?"

Speaking of this, Luo Xiangzhu remembered the thief who sneaked into the neighborhood last night. The man forced her to write that kind of letter to King Jin. It was obvious that he was the wandering knight who had been making a lot of noise in the past few days, but Luo Xiangzhu did not dare to reveal it, so she could only write tactfully: [I gave an idea to my sixth uncle. I guess something important will happen in the next few days...]

Before Luo Xiangzhu finished writing, Mu Lier gently raised her hand to interrupt her and said, "What does that have to do with us? Jianghu affairs should be handled by Jianghu. That Jianghu ranger offended King Jin, so the Ghost Leader will take care of him."

Luo Xiangzhu looked worried... She didn't want Zhao Wumian to die, not because of Stockholm syndrome, but because she was afraid that Zhao Wumian would be beaten to death by Gui Kui. What if he didn't give her the antidote? It was more reliable for him to be alive.

She wanted to capture Zhao Wumian and force him to hand over the antidote, but Zhao Wumian's move was obviously to steal the horse. He would definitely have a battle with Gui Kui tomorrow, but Gui Kui was always ruthless. What's more, Zhao Wumian's move was known to the whole city, and countless people were waiting for him to be beheaded by King Jin to establish his authority... The probability of him surviving from Gui Kui's hands was almost zero.

How can I get the ghost leader to show mercy?

Tell Uncle Six the truth, and take advantage of his trick. On the one hand, she will go for a walk as planned tomorrow, and on the other hand, she will be ready at all times. As soon as Zhao Wumian shows up, she will immediately seal off the city and catch him alive... But Zhao Wumian warned her last night not to tell Uncle Six about him. If the city is sealed off, won't Zhao Wumian guess that she is the informer? By then, Zhao Wumian will have no way to survive, and he will commit suicide directly to lose both sides. Then, won't she have no antidote?
Luo Xiangzhu had been looking for famous doctors all over the world since she was a child, but no one could cure her muteness, so she never really trusted doctors. So if Zhao Wumian died and there was no antidote, wouldn't she be poisoned to death?
As for asking Xiao Xitian to use the Nine Bells for treatment... firstly, Taiyuan is still several days away from Xiao Xitian, and secondly, Zhao Wumian said at the time that the poison would take effect within three days and his physical condition would almost cause him to die on the spot.

She didn't know the toxicity, so how could she dare to bet that she could survive to Xiaoxitian?

After much thought, it seems that I can only trust Zhao Wumian's character and let him live... All other methods have risks of varying degrees.

How could she dare to take such risks? She was not Luo Chaoyan and was not as strong and decisive as her.

Thinking of Luo Xiangzhu, she felt like crying again. She didn't expect that someone could sneak into and poison her in the safest Jin Palace in Taiyuan. The key point was that she didn't dare to tell anyone about it and could only hold it in. "Hey, why are you crying?" Mu Lier saw that Luo Xiangzhu's eyes suddenly turned red and tears fell, and she was a little panicked for a moment.

Luo Xiangzhu wiped the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand. At this point, she could only trust the woman in front of her who was like a mother to her, so she picked up the pen and wrote: [I know that chivalrous man, and I don't want him to die.]

Mu Lier was slightly stunned, and asked in a strange tone: "He is your friend? Your friend stole your sixth uncle's gun, and now he might want to steal your sixth uncle's horse?"

Of course not, but in order to get Mu Lier to help her, Luo Xiangzhu had to nod and continued to write: [Don't let Uncle Six know, Master, can you help him? You don't need to reveal your identity, just help in secret. ]

After hesitating for a moment, she wrote: [Then bring him to me.]

Seeing this, Mu Lier's expression instantly became complicated. She asked, "What's that person's name? What sect is he from? Why is he an enemy of King Jin?"

Luo Xiangzhu shook her head, she knew nothing about this.

Mu Lier pondered for a while, then looked at Luo Xiangzhu's expression a few more times, and then her heart suddenly skipped a beat, and she had an unspoken guess.

I wanted to help him, but I kept it a secret from King Jin. I also wanted to see him, but he refused to tell me his specific situation when asked. Just now I told him not to worry about it, Gui Kui would take care of him, and he immediately started crying... This, this is a lover that cannot be known by the elders!

Mu Li'er was born into a noble family, but she joined the Sword Sect at a young age, so she can be considered a serious martial artist. Whether it is in martial arts picture books or things happening around her, she has seen too many martial arts love stories like this one, where the love is not achieved due to force majeure and the love is full of resentment. These are even more common among wealthy families.

But he never thought that one day it would appear on his good disciple.

She took a deep breath, knowing that Luo Xiangzhu was very thin-skinned. If she asked too directly, she would definitely not get an answer, so she asked indirectly: "Well... he, he doesn't care about your muteness?"

Hearing this, Luo Xiangzhu was stunned, and her heavy mood disappeared. She wondered why she asked this question, but she recalled for a moment, remembering Zhao Wumian's patience and gentle voice when he watched her write, so she shook her head and wrote: [I don't care.]

Mu Lier thought to herself that this was indeed the case. Luo Xiangzhu was the daughter of Prince Yan but was a mute. Therefore, she had been talked about by the ladies and young ladies of prominent families since she was a child. Even the servants would sometimes talk about her in private as a funny thing. Luo Xiangzhu was also extremely inferior because of this, so if she met a man who didn't care about her muteness, it would be easy for her to be moved.

With just one sentence, Mu Lier came up with a love story of hundreds of thousands of words in her mind about a young hero who accidentally entered the residence of Prince Yan and met a mute princess.

"Then why did he steal the King of Jin's spear?"

Luo Xiangzhu shook her head. How did she know that?

Mu Lier thought that she really couldn't get anything out of him. Although she had never had a lover, if she was Luo Xiangzhu, she would not let her family know about it casually if she had a lover... After all, as the daughter of a vassal king, her identity was indeed sensitive.

So she patted Luo Xiangzhu's little head gently and said, "With Master here, he will definitely be safe. Let him see you."

Luo Xiangzhu was speechless and felt a little aggrieved when she heard the words, so she hugged Mu Lier and leaned on her shoulders.

What a picture of the deep love between master and disciple... Unfortunately, there is a big misunderstanding between the two.
