From time to time, Qu Chongyu glanced sideways at Pei Xingjian, who was sitting beside him, looking at him holding Liuli's hand tightly with a gloomy look on his face.Hearing Liuli's teasing, he forced a smile out of his mouth.At this time, despite Ah Cheng's obstruction, Mu Sanlang also came to the banquet.Pei Xingjian sighed helplessly, it seemed that there would definitely be fun this time.

Before leaving, Pei Xingjian had told Acheng not to let Mu Sanlang attend the banquet, but Mu Sanlang insisted on going.Ah Cheng reminded him to bear the consequences himself.Sure enough, as soon as Qu Chongyu saw Mu Sanlang, he took the initiative to strike up a conversation and expressed his desire to protect his safety.Just as Sanniang was about to interrupt, Qu Chongyu threw drink in her face.

After Mu Sanlang returned to his residence, he regretted that he should not attend the banquet and begged Pei Xingjian to help get rid of Qu Chongyu's entanglement.He solemnly called Pei Xingjian his brother-in-law, and Pei Xingjian agreed to help plan a plan to get rid of Qu Chongyu tomorrow.He told Mu Sanlang to completely obey his arrangements.

After Mu Sanlang left, Pei Xingjian finally said what he had hidden in his heart.He thinks Mu Sanlang is a love rival, and having him around makes him uneasy.Tomorrow's plan can not only help Mu Sanlang get rid of Qu Chongyu's entanglement, but also deal with Qu Chongyu's temptation, and more importantly, it can also send this love rival away.Liuli was also happy for this resourceful husband who could resolve jealousy, and the two of them joked and laughed with each other.

The next day, Pei Xingjian and Qu Chongyu set out.Qu Chongyu deliberately looked at Mu Sanlang in the carriage, but Pei Xingjian made a show of giving Mu Sanlang to him.Qu Chongyu said that he could not take away someone's love, for fear that Liuli would not agree.Liuli didn't mind, but thought that Pei Xingjian loved her, and she also loved Pei Xingjian, so she didn't care about anything else.She also specifically asked to ride on a horse with Pei Xingjian.Pei Xingjian deliberately hugged Liuli. The two of them were very affectionate, which made Qu Chongyu feel a little embarrassed.He quickly found a reason to leave, but Liuli was very happy because she finally knew what Qu Chongyu was afraid of.

After Qu Chongyu and Wang Junmeng returned, Wang Junmeng asked Pei Xingjian to fire Mu Sanlang as soon as possible, for fear that Mu Sanlang would be inserted as an informant.Qu Chongyu was not worried, but was already confident.He knew that Pei Xingjian would look for him, but as expected, the maid came to report that Pei Xingjian was losing his temper.Qu Chongyu and Wang Junmeng also rushed over together. It seemed that everything was as expected by Qu Chongyu.

Pei Xingjian pretended to be angry and moved the eldest princess out, blaming himself for having just sent Mu Sanlang to Qu Chongyu, but the eldest princess insisted on letting him go back.Qu Chongyu also used his plan to send Mu Sanlang away, and asked Mu Sanlang to tell what he saw and heard when he went back.Although Pei Xingjian's plan succeeded in sending Mu Sanlang away, he was also frightened by Qu Chongyu's scheming.

Qu Chongyu had obviously known Pei Xingjian's thoughts for a long time, and Pei Xingjian also saw that Qu Chongyu had been acting.He was eager to send Mu Sanlang away, and even asked Mu Sanlang to deliver the news back, so that both the saint and the eldest princess would know that he was still being ridiculous here.Liuli was also worried about Pei Xingjian. It would be very tiring if he had to be wary of people like Qu Chongyu every day.

That night, several men in black released poison gas into Pei Xingjian's room, thinking that Pei Xingjian had been poisoned.Unexpectedly, Pei Xingjian broke out of the door and started fighting with the man in black in the yard.But there were more and more people in black clothes, and there were many people on the roofs and in the yards.Pei Xingjian asked Liuli to call for help. As soon as Liuli called for help twice, many guards shot arrows to kill the man in black and rushed into the yard.

The man in black on the roof had no intention of retreating, but insisted on killing Pei Xingjian.The two sides fought fiercely, and when the man in black was about to hurt Liuli, Qu Chongyu also arrived and rescued Liuli.The men in black gradually lost ground and were killed.A man in black flew up to the roof and was about to escape, but was killed by Wang Junmeng who came over.When Qu Chongyu shouted for survival, it was already a step too late.Wang Junmeng explained that he could not hold back, but these people were all from Chang'an.

Qu Chongyu apologized to Pei Xingjian and admitted that he failed to guard the yard and allowed a few robbers to sneak in. Liuli was so angry that he called Qu Chongyu a dead peacock.She questioned whether Qu Chongyu wanted to kill her instead of saving her.If he was hit by that shield, he would definitely die. Fortunately, he ran fast.Qu Chongyu was speechless by Liuli. He reminded Liuli that these people were assassins from Chang'an, and suspected that Liuli wanted to frame him.

In desperation, Qu Chongyu had to give up his room to Pei Xingjian and his wife, and sent extra manpower for defense.Qu Chongyu returned to the room full of anger and cursed Liuli as a vulgar woman.Wang Junmeng persuaded him from the side, which made Qu Chongyu gradually calm down.Wang Junmeng admitted to Qu Chongyu that he had indeed let these people in and that he had transferred the guards.But these assassins are not their people, but people from the imperial city. Who they are is unknown.Further ahead is the territory of the Qu family, so I would choose to take action here.Wang Junmeng thought it was killing someone with a borrowed knife, but Qu Chongyu thought it was confusion.If Pei Xingjian died here, they would be in great trouble.If the emperor wants to send troops to the Western Regions, he must borrow troops from them.And they seemed loyal to the emperor, so they went out of their way to pick up Pei Xingjian.If something happened to Pei Xingjian, the court would also become suspicious.

Pei Xingjian suspected that the Qu family and the eldest princess were colluding, but Qu Chongyu's behavior was a bit confusing.This assassination was carried out carefully. If Qu Chongyu didn't take action, it would be difficult for them to be careful.Pei Xingjian reassured Liuli that they would arrive in Xizhou in two days.

The next day, the group continued to Xizhou. Liuli and Pei Xingjian arrived in Xizhou soon. The governor also gave warm hospitality to Pei Xingjian. His attitude towards Pei Xingjian could be said to be warm, considerate and even humble.This also made Wang Junmeng's scene of teasing Du Hu in a low voice a little too much, but Qu Chongyu on the side thought that the performance was very good, and the two of them quietly discussed the scene in front of them at the wine table.

At the female guests' side, while Madam Duhu was entertaining Liuli warmly, Wang Junmeng's wife, Qu Jingtang, came back from hunting.Before entering the hall, Qu Jingtang had already known from Qu Chongyu that he hated Liuli very much.But Qu Jingtang was not embarrassed or disliked Liuli. Instead, he said that he liked Liuli very much and also liked her makeup.Liuli also thinks that Qu Jingtang is innocent and straightforward, and likes her a little.
