When Mu Lan came to his senses, he found himself in a dark tunnel by the water well bik.

There were terrified screams in her ears, interspersed with the sound of a sharp sword being stabbed and pulled out.

Mu Lan was in a trance for a moment, she had actually returned to the age of sixteen, the night of the twist of fate.

She closed her eyes slightly, listening to the killing sounds in her ears gradually stop.

[There isn't a single survivor left in the Gu Mansion.]

[The young prince wants to make sure Mu Lan is dead.]

[All thirty people from the Gu Mansion are here, make sure there will be no omissions.]

That's right. In the last life, thirty lives in the Gu family were instantly wiped out. And the mastermind of all this was no other than Mu Lan's cousin Mu Zhantian.

And this killing was simply to stop Mu Lan from returning to the Mu Wangfu.

In a moment of crisis, Mu Lan's foster parents send her to the hidden tunnel under the well, so that she can wait for the people from the Mu Wang Mansion to pick her up and leave.

The foster parents were in tears, telling her over and over again not to come out.

Mu Lan knelt down with tears in her eyes, her voice firm and strong: "Father, Mother, my daughter will definitely avenge you."

Suddenly--

There was a fine sound coming from the entrance of the well, Mu Lan got up and walked step by step towards the entrance of the dark room.

Suddenly, she picked up the crushed stone, lucked in her hand and then shot it out at a rapid speed, directly cutting the throat of the guard who had just climbed down to the bottom of the well, the guard covered his neck that was spewing blood straight out and looked at Mu Lan in horror.

Mu Lan stood expressionless, her messy hair just covered her face, covering her stunningly beautiful face, as if she was a female ghost crawling out of hell.

The guard could not even say a word, so he fell into the bottom of the well with a plop, without a sound.

"Is it a ghost ...... ghost ...... or a ...... person ...... down there," said the man on the well, his voice trembling.

"Go down and see. It's better to be wrong than wrong." The face of the man above also changed.

Another guard went down.

This time, Mu Lan didn't even give the other party a chance to fall to the mouth of the dark room, gravel shot out from his palm, cutting off the other party's hamstring, hand tendon, and the last gravel nailed the other party's brow.

Noiselessly, the guard just dropped down with his eyes open, and when he saw Mu Lan, he wanted to speak, but he had completely lost his voice, leaving only panic.

Mu Lan, however, always stood motionless.

When the people on the well saw this scene, they looked at each other, no one had the courage to go down.

"Is it that the people of the Gu House have come with vengeance?"

"Quickly ...... go ...... quickly."

"My lord, then here ......

"Keep it, right right ...... say to the outside world that it is the hands of the enemies of the Gu family."

......

The next day, when it was dawn, the Gu Mansion once again heard the sound of people.

Over the course of the night, the pungent smell of blood did not diminish, and the corpses followed suit, emitting a foul odor.

Butler Chen, who was in charge of monitoring, couldn't help but feel sick to his stomach.

Just then--

"There's someone there." The guard said quickly.

Butler Chen hurriedly walked over.

Only when he walked in, he saw a little girl covered in filth sitting in the middle of the courtyard.

Obviously a little girl, yet she gave off a bone-chilling gloom, calmly sitting amongst the thirty corpses and bones of the Gu Mansion.

It was as if the King of Hell had come from hell to claim his life.

The housekeeper's breathing was ragged: "You ...... you are Mu Lan?"

Mu Lan lightly opened his mouth: ''Yesterday, my foster mother told me that someone from the Mu Wangfu would come to pick me up and return me to the mansion today, and as a result, in the middle of the night, countless black-clothed people barged in, and overnight, the Gu Mansion was wailing all over the place.''

In his previous life, not only was Mu Lan unable to avenge his adoptive parents, even the entire Gu Mansion, was burned to the ground by Butler Chen's fire.

Butler Chen came back to his senses, and his face had already gone cold: ''His Highness is busy with official business, and has no time to care about such trivial matters.''

Saying that, Butler Chen looked to the guards at the side: "Burn this place with a single fire, and burn it cleanly."

Only after the words fell, Mu Lan suddenly laughed.

The laughter was oozing, obviously it was already late spring, but it had the cold chill of winter.

Butler Chen was startled, not wanting to look at Mu Lan's eyes, he immediately instructed the guards to the side: "Send the young lady to the sedan chair, prepare to depart back to the house to resume orders."

"Yes, servant." The guards answered respectfully and quickly walked towards Mu Lan.

As a result, just as the guard was walking in front of Mu Lan, the sword that was originally hanging on his waist was suddenly unsheathed, and the sword landed in Mu Lan's hand, with the blade of the sword resting on his neck.

Butler Chen's face changed in shock: "Miss, what are you going to do?"

"Gu Fu raised me for sixteen years, and now I can't even have peace when I die, as an adopted daughter, I can't redress the injustice even if I can't even give them a tombstone, how can I stand up to Gu Fu's thirty human lives."

The sharp blade of the sword had also slightly leaned against a few points, and blood seeped out of the neck.

If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

Butler Chen's voice trembled with him, "Don't be impulsive, this kind of small matter, I'll take care of it, I'll immediately order people to bury all the people of Gu Fu one by one."

Butler Chen ordered the guards to carefully bury the thirty people in the Gu Mansion, and cleaned the Gu Mansion up and down until there was not a trace of blood in sight.

"Miss, can you return to the mansion with me now?" Butler Chen had now become cautious when facing Mu Lan, not daring to be the slightest bit careless.

"Butler Chen, you are a smart person, you know very well what to say and what not to say." For the rest of the words, Mu Lan did not speak again.

"Minion understands. Please rest assured, miss." After saying that, Butler Chen personally assisted Mu Lan onto the sedan chair.

The sedan chair was so simple that even the sedan chair used by the eldest maid in the residence was better than this one.

But Mu Lan didn't mind. The more this environment, the more she could stay awake.

Those blood debts, she will ask for them with a stroke of a pen.

......

On the first day where she landed, Butler Chen looked for the best inn in town and asked for the upper room.

The exhaustion of a full day of rushing, coupled with dealing with various situations, Mu Lan was a bit tired, she leaned on the pillow and squinted for a while.

Suddenly, the closed curtains moved, Mu Lan pretended to be asleep, but in the darkness of the night, she saw that the windowpaper had been poked through.

Mu Lan got out of bed and quietly and silently walked to the side of the window, the palm of her hand slightly exerted force, the steel ball had already popped out, right on the acupoints of the person outside the house, the bamboo tube that was set up on the windowpaper instantly fell down.

Mu Lan picked it up and sniffed it.

It was psychedelic drug, inhaling an overdose would be fatal.

Mu Lan closed his breath, snuffed out the bamboo tube, and in the next instant of pushing the window, he had already mentioned the person outside the window directly to the house, with the dagger against the other person's throat.

"Say, who let you come to assassinate me." Mu Lan asked viciously word by word.

Then Mu Lan saw in the other person's eyes -

Stunned.

Yes, consternation.

Mu Lan sank, and did not take the initiative to speak.

The fact that she could be reborn also meant that the trajectory of history had changed. Then removing the things she knew about her previous life, there could also be surprises.

For example, would Mu Zantian be unwilling to come back and kill himself again.

After all, the news that she was still alive had also been spread to the Mu Wangfu, so there was no way Mu Zantian wouldn't know about it.

But obviously, the shock in the assassin's eyes had made it clear to Mu Lan that he had recognized the wrong person.

Was it by mistake that he himself had stayed in this upper room to become a scapegoat?

"Who sent you." Mu Lan's dagger came a few more points closer, and blood was already seeping out.

The assassin was unable to move because of the acupoints, and when he looked at Mu Lan's dagger, he directly bit his tongue and killed himself, instantly losing his breath in front of Mu Lan.

Mu Lan was sure that the person was dead, and only then let go of him.

The housekeeper Chen who lived not far away had also heard the commotion and rushed over with his men at the first time, and when he saw the situation inside the house, Chen's face changed.

Mu Lan looked at Butler Chen, who immediately kneeled down: "Miss, I have no second thoughts."

"If you had second thoughts, you wouldn't have rushed here now." Mu Lan waved her hand to signal Butler Chen to stand up before she spoke, "Find someone here to deal with it, and also, how did this upper room come to be?"

The guards behind him immediately dragged the body out.

Butler Chen wrinkled his brows in contemplation before speaking, "When I came here, the inn didn't have an upper room, and then suddenly said there was one, so I didn't think too much about it and asked for it, but now it seems that I was negligent, so I ask for your forgiveness," Mu Lan nodded his head and didn't ask for the upper room to be taken care of.

Mu Lan nodded and did not say anything more.

It seemed that she really had accidentally become someone else's scapegoat, and if she hadn't been vigilant, the person who died tonight would have been herself.

And these people were also clearly not Mu Zhantian's people.

Mu Zhantian's people, Mu Lan recognized clearly.

"Miss, I'll find someone to guard outside the door, something like this will never happen again." Butler Chen also had palpitations in his heart, the short road trip had gone wrong one after another.

If Mu Lan hadn't gone back, he was afraid that he would have to lose his life as well.

......

The second half of the night was uneventful.

The next morning, Mu Lan used the morning meal, Chen butler has also been prepared, set off towards the Mu Wangfu and go.

On the way, Butler Chen was always on guard.

The sedan chair was also cleaned up by Butler Chen, with soft cushions and pillows, so that Mu Lan could be more comfortable.

Mu Lan instead leaned back quietly and rested her eyes. What she needs now is to recuperate her energy, back to Mu Wang Fu, is the beginning of a long and hard battle.

At close to shen hour, Mu Lan put on a thin veil and got out of the sedan chair to relieve herself.

Butler Chen followed the two guards for security reasons.

But men and women were different, and the guards didn't get too close.

Mu Lan walked to a hidden position and was about to undo her broadcloth when her eyes narrowed slightly and the movement in her hands stopped.

Then, Mu Lan walked precisely to the southeast corner, broke open the withered grass, and saw a masked man lying in a pile of grass, panting heavily.

The haystack was already drenched in blood, and that bloody odor came once again.

But the man was still sharp and clasped Mu Lan's hand, his eyes looking at Mu Lan with a deep gaze.

Mu Lan recognized the other party the moment he looked at him.

The current Fourth Prince, Li Shiyu.

In his last life, Li Shiyu was Crown Prince Li Shiyuan's strongest competitor, strategizing, but ultimately failing in his efforts, dying under the Crown Prince's sword at the Noon Gate, with the Crown Prince boarding the plane, before the Great Zhou Dynasty was completely plunged into an irreparable tragedy.

But Mu Lan and Li Shiyu only met a few times.

Mu Lan quietly looked at Li Shiyu for a moment, "Please let go, my daughter is not harmful to you."

Li Shiyu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Mu Lan.

"Who are you?" Li Shiyu asked in a deep voice.

Mu Lan, on the contrary, smiled lightly, "It doesn't matter who I am, now there is a wolf in front of you and a tiger behind you, you are still seriously injured, only I can save you, so, can you be a little nicer in your attitude?"

Li Shiyu looked at her and suddenly laughed, before letting go of Mu Lan's wrist, "Say it, what are the conditions for saving me?"

"Indeed, you are a smart person." Mu Lan turned her wrist, reached out, and took off the jade pendant at Li Shiyu's waist: "Just ask for this."

Li Shiyu was stunned, this jade pendant was left by his mother's consort, and he always carried it with him.

People close to Li Shiyu knew that seeing the jade pendant was like seeing Li Shiyu himself.

The girl in front of him, who looked to be in her late teens, had known that she had come prepared, or was it just a coincidence.

"What, unwilling?" Mu Lan did see the point, "If you're not willing, then there's nothing to talk about."

Li Shiyu knew that Mu Lan was not being credulous.

"Thank you." Li Shiyu spoke faintly.

Mu Lan pulled the clothes from Li Shiyu's body, blindfolded Li Shiyu, and then called the guards not far away.

"Get the people onto the sedan chair for me, and clean up this place." Mu Lan directly ordered.

The guards looked at each other in dismay, while Butler Chen saw the commotion and followed and ran over, seeing Mu Lan holding a man out, Butler Chen's face changed.

"Miss, what are you ......" Butler Chen wrinkled his brows.

When he saw that Mu Lan who climbed up from the bottom of the well from the Gu Mansion, he knew that Mu Lan was not simple.

But he also never thought that Mu Lan can come out of a different situation at any time, and Chen Butler read countless people, but now can not distinguish what Mu Lan actually want to do.

"It just so happens that the road sees an injustice and pulls out the sword to help." Mu Lan's face did not change, "Go to the town in front, find an inn, and just throw him down."

Seeing Butler Chen didn't move.

Mu Lan asked carelessly, "Is there a problem?"

That tone sounded casual, but it made Butler Chen coldly return to his senses and immediately responded, "I know, slave." And then, he turned around and commanded, ''Why don't you all hurry up and clean up, what you have seen today, if any of you dare to say one more word, wait for your head to fall off.''

The guards were terrified.

Mu Lan didn't pay any more attention, she was still holding Li Shiyu, walking towards the sedan chair, after settling Li Shiyu down and making sure that not a single trace could be found at the scene, the sedan chair slowly walked towards the next town.

Li Shiyu was not lightly injured.

But even in such a situation, Li Shiyu did not lower his guard even a bit.

Until the sedan chair stopped at the town's inn, Li Shiyu and Mu Lan did not speak a word to each other.

Butler Chen had obviously explained that the sedan chair was parked at the back door of the inn, Mu Lan did not get out of the sedan chair, looked at Li Shiyu and spoke faintly, "Fourth Highness, I can only send you here, I think your subordinates will arrive soon. For the rest, you have to fend for yourself, and hopefully you will have the chance to meet again in the coming days."

Li Shiyu was blindfolded, but still asked out loud, ''Why did the girl step in to save this king, and why did she ask for this king's jade pendant without mentioning any other requests.''

Mu Lan smiled gently: "Maybe I was bored, so I saved it. That jade pendant, just happened to look like, so I asked for it in passing."

It was clear that it was perfunctory.

Li Shiyu did not ask more questions, soon, he was helped down from the sedan chair, the people of the inn took Li Shiyu, the carriage quickly turned around and left, without stopping for a moment.
