Xiao Changyuan did not disturb Yun Pianpian.
He got up to open the door, looked at the direction of the voice just now, and walked over like a ghost.
The night was dark so everything was pitch black.
Xiao Changyuan lit a fire illuminating the dark corner.
There were piles of baskets and old wood tarpaulins.
He stepped forward.
Suddenly there was a small noise behind him.
The murderous aura in Xiao Changyuan's eyes skyrocketed, he turned around abruptly, flipped his fingertips, and shot a small piece of dead wood from his hand.
The dead wood pierced through a fat mouse fiercely.
The mouse was killed on the spot, nailed to the ground by a dead branch
Xiao Changyuan looked puzzled, stared at the mouse for a while, and then threw its body into the trash can.
He turned his head, walked to the pile of wood, and examined it carefully.
No abnormality was found.
Xiao Changyuan's eyes were as bright as ice, he turned his face to the side, and looked at the medicine jar placed on the stove in the yard.
For the convenience of decoction, they never put the medicine stove and medicine pot in one
In this rural area, mouse are rampant. At night, it will go into the kitchen to steal food, so before they go to bed every night, they will lock the door of the kitchen and close the windows to prevent it from sneaking in.
There is no well in the yard, and if someone wants to harm him, the medicine jar in the yard is their only choice.
Xiao Changyuan put out the fire, glanced around, and walked into the house.
After a long time, two heads appeared in the grass outside the yard.
It was Chen Bashan and Zhou Qiren.
Chen Bashan's face was pale, and his already pale skin, under the moonlight, seemed to have been drained from blood, like a dead person.
Zhou Qiren's face was as pale as paper.
Seeing that Xiao Changyuan did not come out for a long time, Zhou Qiren was about to stand up when Chen Bashan suddenly grabbed his wrist.
Zhou Qiren looked down.
However, he saw Chen Bashan shaking his head at him, his face gloomy.
Zhou Qiren immediately understood that they shouldn't go out now.
Because Xiao Changyuan could kill him them at any time.
Chen Bashan and Zhou Qiren hid in the grass and stayed up all night.
When the roosters began to croak and Tianfang gradually revealed the whiteness of the fish's belly, the villagers lit lamps one after another and got up.
Chen Bashan and Zhou Qiren dared to stand up and hurried back home.
The two closed the door, their hearts beating wildly.
Chen Bashan originally wanted to use Yun Pianpian's hand to kill Xiao Changyuan, but he waited at home for several days without waiting for the news of Xiao Changyuan's death. Chen Bashan guessed that something might have happened, so he wanted to kill Xiao Changyuan himself.
Chen Bashan's martial arts are only enough for self-defense, and Zhou Qiren is not capable of martial arts.
They could not confront Xiao Changyuan head-on.
For today's plan, they can only continue to poison Xiao Changyuan.
During the daytime, there are many people, and if the villagers see them entering and leaving Xiao Changyuan's courtyard, it will definitely arouse Xiao Changyuan's suspicion.
To be on the safe side, they could only take advantage of the darkness to enter Xiao Changyuan's house and secretly poison his medicine jar.
Xiao Changyuan's injury has not yet healed, and Yun Pianpian making him decoction every day.
Zhou Qiren's medicine was extremely poisonous, it only needs a little bit to make Xiao Changyuan's soul return to the Jiutian Medicine Stone.
This is a great opportunity for them to start.
But Chen Bashan never thought that Xiao Changyuan's vigilance was so strong.
They had just turned into the fence yard when Xiao Changyuan heard their movements.
Chen Bashan has practiced martial arts, so his hearing is different from ordinary people. In addition, his spirit is extremely tense, so Xiao Changyuan noticed his movements the moment he got up. Chen Bashan quickly pulled Zhou Qiren to retreat outside the yard.
They hid in the grass behind the yard where the wood tarpaulins were stacked.
If Xiao Changyuan took another step forward, he would see them.
It was the mouse that saved their lives.
Chen Bashan heard the death of the mouse, as if he heard his own death.
He felt that he and Zhou Qiren were like two mice hiding in the gutter.
And will never see the light.
Seeing Chen Bashan's pale face, Zhou Qiren hurriedly poured him a cup of tea.
"Your Majesty, please drink tea."
Chen Bashan's face was gloomy, and a thin layer of sweat formed on his pale forehead. He took a few breaths, took the teacup and put it to his lips, and said grimly, "Tonight has already caused a problem. Xiao Changyuan's probably have an idea, we can't go there anymore."
Zhou Qiren lowered his head and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Chen Bashan drank the tea in the cup.
He gritted his teeth and said, "One day, I will let Xiao Changyuan die in my hands."

At another's house
Mu Botian got up before daylight and made a fire to cook, put the cooked food on the table, and waited for Xie Yu to get up.
After Xie Yu washed up, he sat on a stool and ate with Mu Bo.
Mu Bo brought Xie Yu's favorite dish to him: "His Royal Highness, when I went out to fetch water today, I saw Zhou Langzhong and Zhou Shan sneaking back from outside Xiao Changyuan's yard, they seemed a little flustered.
Xie Yu paused and looked up at Mu Bo .
"Zhou Langzhong and Zhou Shan?"
Mu Bo pursed his thin lips and nodded.
"Yes."
Xie Yu heard the words, and his peach blossom eyes squinted.
"This is a bit interesting."
Mu Bo asked: "Your Highness, do you think the two of them will also know Xiao Changyuan's true identity?"
Xie Yu raised his eyes and looked at Mu Bo: "Did the two of them find you? Mu Bo shook his head
I saw the two of them were flustered, so I didn't show up
Xie Yu raised the corners of his lips: "Well done."
Mu Bo hesitated: "Your Highness, should we Tell Xiao Changyuan about this?"
Xie Yu said: "Tell him what to do? Don't forget, he is our enemy, I wish they would fight..."
Mu Bo asked: "Your Highness means..."
Xie Yu curled his lips Angle, showing a wise smile.
"Watch the fire from the other side, and reap the benefits of the fisherman."
