Although he was young, he had experienced a lot. Especially after staying in the forest for more than ten days, he knew how dangerous it was outside at night. Thus, even if he wanted to sleep at night, he didn't dare to sleep too deeply.
Tonight, it was quiet outside. Not even the sound of insects could be heard in the air. Something was not right.
He quietly exited the small tent. As soon as he exited the tent, he smelled a faint scent in the air. He frowned and used the moonlight to scan the surroundings. He saw that the people of the caravan, other than the four who were on night watch, were all sleeping soundly. The few who were on night watch were walking around and yawning from time to time, looking listless.
Something's not right!
Mu Chen's little face tensed up. Even if he was not an expert in medicine, he knew that the faint scent in the air was not right.
He looked at the spirit beast carriage parked by the side of the mountain road. Without thinking, he knew that someone was trying to kill the madam. Just as he was thinking about it, he saw a guard who was sleeping by the bonfire secretly throw something into the fire. As he threw something into the fire, the smell in the air seemed to become thicker.
Seeing this, Mu Chen's heart sank. It seems that this is a collaboration between the inside and the outside to kill the madam! Not only was there a problem with this guard, there should be an assassin lying in ambush not far away. Otherwise, it would be impossible to not hear the sound of insects in the trees and bushes along the mountain road.
It was reasonable to say that he should quietly avoid this kind of thing so as to avoid getting into trouble. But when he thought of this madam's action of giving him pastries and a small tent, as well as her gentle gaze that was somewhat like his mother's, he actually could not harden his heart to leave and watch her die.
At once, he stealthily made his way to the spirit beast carriage under the cover of the night. Just as he was about to make his way to the spirit beast carriage, the people patrolling outside suddenly collapsed to the ground. At the same time, a secret signal flew into the night sky with a whoosh.
"Go quickly! Someone wants to kill you! "
Mu Chen quickly got into the spirit beast carriage. Fortunately, the windows and doors were closed, so the medicine outside could not seep in. The master and servant inside also woke up when he came in.
The servant girl was startled. She lifted the curtain and looked outside, only to see more than a dozen men in black rushing out. She couldn't help but exclaim, "Madam, go quickly! There's a killer! "
The madam was also stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect it, but there was no panic on her face. Instead, she showed a gentle smile and smiled at Mu Chen, "Thank you, but don't worry, it's okay."
She said softly as she straightened her clothes and got off the carriage. At the same time, she said to Mu Chen and the maidservant, "Don't come down, just stay in the carriage!"
Mu Chen was stunned for a moment. Seeing that she was calm and not panicking, he inexplicably calmed down. However, he didn't stay in the spirit beast carriage. Instead, he got off the carriage and stood beside it.
"Madam, wait for me. I'll go down too." The maidservant said as she followed. However, not long after she got off the spirit beast carriage, she fainted because of the smell in the air.
Mu Chen glanced at the maidservant and then at the madam. His heart finally settled down.
"It's the smell of the Tendon Spirit Flower. It seems like you've prepared for it." The madam said softly. Her gaze swept over the unconscious guard, as well as the mole and the dozen or so black-clothed men who had appeared.
