The path to the west became narrower and narrower. Mu Jinan walked along the path, passing through the dense woods. She observed carefully. This place was perfect for hiding a killer.

She walked along the still damp and muddy path. Her dark green official uniform blended in with the emerald green summer grass. There was not a single bird in the sky.

She approached the gate of the ruined temple, looked around, and shouted outside: "Li Heng, I know it's you, hand over my people!"

The temple was quiet. She walked slowly closer and wanted to push open the door.

all of a sudden

A cold arrow hit me from behind.

She dodged quickly and the arrow hit the dilapidated and rotten wooden door.

Mu Jinan drew out the Taoyu sword, kicked the door open, and carefully looked into the temple. He saw that the Buddha statue was covered in dust, and there was a strong smell of dust and rotten sawdust coming from the house.

She had just stepped out with her left foot into the house when suddenly, several people rushed out from behind the door and stabbed directly at her heart. She leaned back to avoid them, and jumped in the air to land on the open space outside the house.

At this moment, a voice of "Mrs. Mu" came from behind her.

She didn't dare to turn around completely for fear of being ambushed, so she turned sideways and looked from afar. She saw Li Heng in a dark blue round-necked robe, looking calm and composed, with a large crowd of more than three hundred people following him.

There were more than fifty guards in front of him.

Mu Jinan didn't see Meiluo, and asked angrily: "Li Heng, where are my people?"

Li Heng smiled and said loudly, "A maid is worth your risk?"

Mu Jinan pointed at him:

"What do you know? Everyone is equal. What happened to the maid? Hand her over quickly."

Li Heng was standing a little far away, and Mu Jinan could not see the expression of affirmation on his face. Li Heng spread his hands, shrugged and smiled:

“Hahahaha, hahaha”

"Everyone is equal? ​​How ridiculous. People are divided into different classes. They are born noble and humble. She is just a lowly slave. You are the daughter of a princess. How can you be equal?"

Mu Jinan looked disdainful and said sarcastically:

"She is my friend, not a maid. It is despicable to use the status gained through reincarnation to bully and oppress others."

Li Heng put away his smile and looked gloomy:

"As long as you marry me, I will let her go"

Mu Jinan said coldly: "You are dreaming"

Li Heng took a few steps closer. His usually gentle face looked a little ferocious. His eyes were as dark and deep as a wolf's:

"Then I will tell you one thing today. Whether you marry Nangong Yu or Li Huaijin, you will be sent to marry a foreign prince in the end."

"Nanzhao, Tubo, Yuhe, Qingque, Qixuan, as well as the northern Shiwei, Bohai, Silla, and Heishui could all be your destinations."

"Even if you are a married woman, as long as I am still alive, I will find a way to send you to marry."

Mu Jinan suddenly shuddered, she opened and closed her mouth, her eyes were full of disbelief, her back sank a little, wondering what she had just heard.

She pointed her sword at Li Heng and said in a low voice:

"who are you?"

Li Heng changed his face and said: "If you marry me, none of this will happen"

Mu Jinan frowned, and the palm holding the hilt of the sword became more and more powerful. She thought to herself:

"If he didn't travel through time, why did what he said sound so familiar? Could it be that he was...reborn?"

A trace of fear flashed across Mu Jinan's eyes, and he lowered his voice:

"Why do you insist that I marry you?"

Li Heng laughed contemptuously: "I just think it's...funny"

Mu Jinan smiled helplessly and said, "You are treating other people's lifelong happiness as a game?"

Li Heng raised his eyebrows and asked, "How?"

Mu Jinan said bluntly: "You are clearly fighting for the military power of my father and brother."

Li Heng looked relaxed, gently turning his wrist and whispering:

"It used to be, but now it's just for you"

Mu Jinan glared at her and said speechlessly:

"You are crazy, I don't understand why you always stare at me. If it's for military power, you will get the same result even if you marry Mu Yun."

Li Heng smiled strangely, his eyes were evil, what he wanted was for others to sink into the quagmire with him.

This is his heroine, but for some reason she deviated from the original text and became Li Huaijin’s sweetheart.

Li Heng was determined to snatch the heroine back. He followed the original plot, married her, tortured her, and then sent her to marry. He said:

"What would it be like for a flower that is so delicate and pure and blooms on a branch to be stuck in the mud and trampled on by others?"

Mu Jinan's wrist holding the sword loosened a little:

"You really have a mental illness. I know it was Yuhe who hurt you. You should go and settle the score with them, even if you have to lead troops to attack them."

"But you won over the court officials, instigated your brothers, let Li Yuanyang go, caused trouble many times, and brought hatred upon your own people. You put the cart before the horse and are really stupid."

"Also, you dare to privately raise so many guards. What are you trying to do with your evil intentions?"

Li Heng smiled confidently: "They are the ones that His Majesty allowed me to raise. You have destroyed one of my chess pieces. Today, I will make you pay the price."

"Bring the people up"

There is no such thing as a secret meeting between the imperial concubine and Li Che in the original text.

Mu Jinan only felt that Li Heng was all-powerful. Just as he asked Emperor Ming to release Li Che, Li Heng attacked him right after. Could it be that he really traveled through time and was controlling and changing the original plot?

The timing was too tight and perfect, like a well-designed trap.

Meiluo was brought out from behind the black-clad men. Her mouth was stuffed with coarse cloth. Meiluo shook her head and cried in her heart:

"My lady, leave me alone, run away"

"Don't bother me." A man in black put the sword against Mei Luo's neck.

The moment Mu Jinan saw Meiluo, her heart finally settled down. With tears in her eyes, she shouted:

"Mei Luo, you must live well. If you dare to commit suicide, I will never forgive you."

With so many people here today, Mu Jinan knew that he would definitely be injured. It would just hurt a little. Could it be more painful than being whipped when he was a slave in his youth? Naturally, it would not be more painful than being beaten and starved when he was adopted as a child.

Li Heng shouted: "Just spare her life. Anyone who hurts her will be rewarded with 100 taels. Anyone who captures her alive will be rewarded with 1,000 taels."

After hearing this, the guards around him became restless and rushed towards her together. Mu Jinan didn't want to confront her head-on, so he tried every possible way to get close to Li Heng.

Mu Jinan was surrounded. She turned her wrist flexibly and swung the Tao Yu sword with overwhelming sword energy. The swords in the hands of the thieves stabbed towards her body.

She leaped into the air, hung upside down in mid-air, mobilized her inner strength, and slapped the thieves with one palm. The surrounding team was dispersed and they fell to the ground.

Mu Jinan rushed straight to Li Heng, appeared in front of the thieves like lightning, and cut their necks with Tao Yujian.

The thief hit her on the chest with his palm. She staggered back a few steps, her eyes bloodshot. She leaped sideways like a madman, and pierced the thief's head with her Tao Yujian.

Ten, thirty, fifty fell.

Meiluo cried silently "No". She tried several times to hit the sword on her neck, but the thief grabbed her neck so hard that she couldn't move.

"Madam, I am just a slave. It is not worth it for me...Madam, please leave now and leave me alone."

Mu Jinan's face was covered in blood, and her pupils seemed to have turned blood red. Scenes of pools of blood flashed through her mind, and all she could see was a swaying head.

The dead people looked at her with hideous faces, as if they were reaching out to strangle her neck.

She felt a little nauseous and wanted to vomit, so she shook her head vigorously. The thief stabbed her from behind, injuring her back. Without waiting for the thief to react, she activated the Tao Yu Sword mechanism, and bursts of poisonous smoke emanated from the flower bud.

While the thief was not paying attention, he came straight to Li Heng and stabbed a silver needle into his neck. The blade of the sword was against his neck. Li Heng stared with his eyes and smiled strangely:

"You can't kill me"

"Even if I die today, I will come back again"

Mu Jinan's eyes flashed with disdain, and he said shamelessly:

"If you treat me as a three-year-old child, can you still be a monster?"

Li Heng pressed his neck close to her sword blade, and his neck was bleeding.

He looked unafraid and laughed, "Madam, haven't you already secretly felt my pulse? Are you confused?"
