Forced love, an inescapable fate

In this way, Mu Qingli found a job to pass the time, so in the following days, she became a frequent visitor to Anhetang. As a result, she became much closer to Anran, and the two of them looked like sisters with deep affection. After Feng Zong knew about it, he did not stop it, but only told Qing'er to take good care of her.

The Sifang City where she is now is a border city of Jing State. It is separated from Licheng of Qi State by only a mountain range. The two cities are actually less than a hundred miles apart. Because wars of varying sizes have often occurred between the two countries in recent years, many people have been attracted here to make war fortunes, such as reselling intelligence, medicinal materials, weapons, and other secret transactions that cannot be made public. Therefore, the people here are mixed. Although there are troops stationed here, these are really unavoidable.

Mu Qingli is temporarily safe because of the secret protection of Baiyu and Wanyue, as well as Qing'er.

Now she and Jiang Ci are separated by thousands of miles, and except for the fact that she was a little uncomfortable at the beginning, as time went by, and the two of them kept exchanging letters, she felt relieved when she knew that although Jiang Ci had not established a firm foothold in Shangjing, his personal safety was basically guaranteed. Moreover, she could not go back to Shangjing in a short time, so all her thoughts were put on conquering Feng Zong, the general of the escort flag who was of great help to Jiang Ci. With her efforts, and Li Feng's words after escorting Jiang Ci back to Shangjing, Feng Zong also re-examined the Sixth Prince who had been a hostage in Qi for six years.

Therefore, he chose to ignore the rumors in Shangjing that he was on the same side as Jiang Ci. He neither denied it nor made any public statement.

Because of this, Jiang Ci's situation in Shangjing was indeed greatly helped. At least the princes would not openly deal with Jiang Ci now.

Time flies like water, so fast that it is hard to catch up. Three years have passed in a flash.

During the three years that Mu Qingli was in Sifang City, she basically spent most of her time helping out at Anhetang. Firstly, she really had nothing to do, and secondly, she saw that the soldiers who had been seriously injured on the battlefield and were housed in Anhetang were really pitiful, so she felt that she could do her best to help them.

She was far away at the border, and could only learn about Jiang Ci's situation in the capital through fragments of information in letters. Fortunately, the correspondence between the two had never stopped, and she could basically know Jiang Ci's situation. As for the truth and falsehood in it, only the person who wrote the letter knew it.

There have been no major frictions between Qi and Jing in recent years, and the border has been quiet for a while.

With the help of Mu Qingli, Feng Zong and An Ran expressed their feelings to each other and finally got together. After several discussions, they decided to return to Shangjing to hold their wedding.

Thinking that she could finally see Jiang Ci after three years, Mu Qingli's happiness was self-evident. When everything at the border was arranged, she and Feng Zong and his party finally set out on the journey back to Shangjing.

In order to reduce unnecessary trouble, they kept a low profile and only brought a few personal guards. They originally thought that they would have a smooth journey, but they never expected that they would encounter constant assassinations after leaving Sifang City.

Fortunately, there were Bai Yu and Qing'er, and Feng Zong himself was an invincible general with excellent kung fu, so he did not suffer any harm.

But they never expected that there was more than one wave of assassins, and these killers seemed to have known their itinerary for a long time, so they were chased all the way.

No matter how good their kung fu is, they cannot withstand the crowds. On the tenth day of their departure, in order to avoid the killer, they stayed in a temple. They originally thought that their plan was well-planned and they would not be discovered by the killer, but they never expected that when they slept in the second half of the night, they were surrounded in the temple.

For safety reasons, Mu Qingli, Anran, Wanyue and Qing'er lived together. After days of traveling and dodging assassins, they were all exhausted and slept soundly. When they heard the clash of swords outside, a large number of assassins had already surrounded the temple.

Feng Zong and Bai Yu were already entangled in a fight with the killers. Although there were many of them and their attacks seemed fierce, a closer look revealed that their attacks were not fatal and they seemed to be intentionally avoiding vital points.

But Feng Zong was unaware of all this.

Mu Qingli, who was half asleep, got up in a hurry when she heard the sound of swords clashing. She wanted to wake up An Ran beside her, but for some reason, An Ran seemed to be sleeping soundly. She hurriedly called Wan Yue and Qing'er, but they also did not move. She was anxious and worried about the situation outside. She did not care about anything else and hurriedly put on her shoes. There was no light in the room and she could not see clearly. She was worried about the safety of An Ran and the others, but she did not dare to turn on the light for fear of attracting the killer. Fortunately, she felt An Ran's body. In the past three years in Anhetang, she had learned some medical knowledge. She felt that An Ran was breathing normally and seemed to be just unconscious. She hurried to check the condition of Qing'er and Wan Yue. After confirming that they were breathing normally, she groped her way towards the door.

As she groped towards the door, she quickly understood the current situation in her mind.

They were in the same room. An Ran and the other two were obviously unconscious, but for some reason she was awake. She must have been drugged. As for why she didn't get drugged, she didn't have time to think about it because the sound of fighting outside the door was getting clearer and clearer.

During the three years at the border, she had already regarded Feng Zong as her own brother. As for Bai Yu, they had been together for several years, and she had already regarded him as an important friend.

No matter what happened to either of them, she didn't want to see it.

Moreover, since these people were able to drug them, there might be assassins planted among their group. If Feng Zong and the others were not reminded at this moment, they might not be able to escape if they were stabbed in the back.

Although she was afraid, she still groped her way to open the corner of the door. Fortunately, the moonlight was very bright tonight, and she could clearly see the situation in the yard, but at the same time she couldn't help but gasp.

Feng Zong and Bai Yu were surrounded on both sides, each facing more than a dozen assassins. There were already many people lying on the ground. It seemed that all the guards they brought with them had died.

Moreover, it was obvious at this time that Feng Zong and Bai Yu were in poor condition, especially Feng Zong, whose body was staggering and he looked like he was about to fall down. It seemed that they were either injured or drugged.

Mu Qingli was anxious for a moment and didn't know what to do. Suddenly, she remembered that when they set out this time, she brought with her the knockout drug that An Ran taught her to make. They had also tested this drug at that time. As long as it was sprayed close to the person and inhaled into the nose, the person would instantly lose strength.

Moreover, the yard they are in now is not big, and there are many killers. As long as he reminds Feng Zong and Bai Yu loudly when he sprays the medicine, they will cover their mouths and noses to avoid inhaling the powder. Although it is a bit risky, it is the only way to give it a try at this time.

But this medicine must be taken close to them, which means that you must get close to them to ensure that the powder is inhaled and takes effect.
