Transmigrating into a Turbulent Era as a Soldier, Starting with Marrying a Wife

#128 - Chapter 128: Being Plotted Against

The Lady Marquis didn't initially pay much attention.

It was reasonable for a monk to carry sandalwood for Buddhist rituals.

However, as the scent of sandalwood wafted over, she unconsciously took a sniff.

Seeing the Lady Marquis's dazed expression, a glint of malicious triumph flashed in the monk's eyes.

At this moment, the monk Jingxu was devoid of his earlier dignified demeanor; his eyes were now filled with lewdness and greed.

He gently got up and held the incense burner closer to the Lady Marquis.

Then, he spoke to the Lady Marquis in a strange tone.

"Lady Marquis of Longxiang, can you hear my voice?"

"Good, relax."

"I want to tell you a secret."

At this moment, the Lady Marquis's expression was somewhat strange.

Her eyes were unfocused, and her expression was drifting.

The monk Jingxu continued to coax her in a soft voice by her ear.

"Lady Marquis of Longxiang, you have a most beloved person."

"They are by your side, right before your eyes."

"They are so handsome."

"For them, you can risk your life."

"For them, you can offer everything."

"You fear losing them the most."

"They are the love of your life."

The Lady Marquis's expression flickered erratically, as if sleepwalking.

She murmured in her mouth.

"That's right, you're right."

"He is indeed my most beloved person."

When the monk Jingxu saw the Lady Marquis's expression, he knew that he had succeeded.

He couldn't help but smirk, a lewd smile spreading across his face.

The incense he had just lit was not ordinary sandalwood for Buddhist rituals; it was actually a hypnotic incense used by human traffickers in the martial world to abduct women.

The monk Jingxu had also added some unique medicinal ingredients to the incense.

Without taking an antidote beforehand, anyone who inhaled the smoke from this incense would gradually lose their mind.

This monk Jingxu had naturally taken the antidote in advance.

What he said in the Lady Marquis's ear was actually a kind of hypnotic suggestion, combined with the effect of the incense.

It allowed people to be brainwashed by his words in a state where their minds were unguarded.

Once someone fell for his trick, he could make the woman obey his every command.

In her heart, she would even regard him as her most beloved lover, willing to give everything.

Using this method, the monk Jingxu had harmed countless wives and daughters of officials in the Miaoxi Temple.

Jingxu knew that he was about to succeed.

Now, he was only one step away.

As long as he completed the final step, with his Jingxu's abilities, he could definitely make the Lady Marquis of Longxiang never leave him.

He could make this beautiful Lady Marquis grant his every wish.

He could even control the entire Longxiang Army through this woman.

His mind was now racing.

Whether to hand over the controlled Lady Marquis of Longxiang to the Honglian Sect or the Left Prime Minister would depend on his mood.

If that didn't work, he, Jingxu, could use the Longxiang Marquis's troops to establish his own independent regime, even becoming a warlord.

Thinking of such a beautiful future.

The monk Jingxu was so excited that he trembled all over.

But now, he still had to take down this great beauty first.

Thinking of this, the monk Jingxu leaned in close to the Lady Marquis of Longxiang's ear.

And slowly said in that tone.

"Lady Marquis of Longxiang."

"Since you deeply love that person."

"Then why wait?"

"How about this."

"Tonight, consummate your relationship with him."

"Give yourself to him, and obey his every command."

"Do you understand?"

The so-called hypnotic suggestion of the monk Jingxu was actually to guide the Lady Marquis of Longxiang to subtly and proactively fall in love with him.

And then, according to his instructions, do some things that Jingxu wanted her to do.

Like now.

Jingxu was using hypnosis to instruct the Lady Marquis of Longxiang.

To take the initiative to dedicate herself to the one she loved the most tonight.

If everything went smoothly, the Lady Marquis of Longxiang, who would wake up later, would arrange for Jingxu to rest in the guest room.

When tonight came, the Lady Marquis of Longxiang herself would come to his door and become his woman.

Thinking that tonight, he could possess this stunningly beautiful Lady Marquis.

Jingxu could no longer hide the ecstasy in his heart, and couldn't help but chuckle.

At this time, outside the main hall of the villa.

Li Yuan had just comforted Bai Yuxuan.

He wanted to come and see if the Lady Marquis had any other arrangements.

He came to the front of the main hall and saw that the guards who were supposed to be responsible for guarding the Lady Marquis were all chatting in front of the door.

Li Yuan was a little puzzled, so he asked them why they were here.

The guards saw that it was Captain Li, so they didn't avoid or hide anything.

They told Li Yuan everything about how a monk envoy had come and wanted to have a secret talk with the Marquis.

When Li Yuan heard this, he frowned, vaguely feeling that something was wrong.

The Marquis was actually facing outsiders whose background was unknown alone.

If the other party was an assassin, that would be terrible.

Li Yuan hurriedly stepped into the main hall.

As soon as he came into the main hall, he could vaguely feel a red light flickering inside.

Li Yuan's heart sank, and he thought, "Damn it, something's going to happen." He didn't need to ask to know that this red light.

Was his ability to recognize talent warning him.

The person inside had a strong malice towards him or the Lady Marquis.

How dare he plot against the Lady Marquis? Li Yuan couldn't tolerate it.

He directly kicked open the door of the reception hall and rushed in.

The monk Jingxu was both excited and nervous because his hypnosis had succeeded.

He was just waiting for the Lady Marquis of Longxiang to wake up slowly and arrange for him to stay in the villa.

But suddenly.

A loud noise came from behind him, and two door panels flew in.

Crashing into the hall and shattering.

The sudden change startled the evil monk, and he trembled all over.

Just as he was about to turn around to see what had happened, he felt a heavy blow to the back of his head, and then he lost consciousness.

The one who stunned him was naturally Li Yuan.

Li Yuan stunned the monk with one palm, and then immediately bent down to check on the Lady Marquis's condition.

He found that the Lady Marquis Bai Jing's mind seemed to be in a daze.

Li Yuan immediately judged that she must have been affected by some kind of hypnotic incense.

He looked down and found the incense burner and sandalwood that the monk had brought.

Li Yuan immediately covered his mouth and nose and extinguished the sandalwood first.

Then, he lifted up the Lady Marquis and took her to a ventilated place to let her wake up slowly.

Li Yuan was about to call the guards in when suddenly his mind turned.

The fact that the Marquis was plotted against with hypnotic incense was not convenient to publicize for the time being, as it might be detrimental to the Lady Marquis's reputation.

But to be safe, someone had to be found to examine the Marquis's body to see if there was anything wrong.

Then he thought, he could only find Bai Yuxuan first.

In this villa, she was the only one who knew a little about medicine.

Li Yuan did not publicize the fact that the Marquis had been plotted against by the monk, but walked out of the main hall and summoned a personal guard.

He asked him to go to the back hall and quickly call Miss Bai over, saying that the Marquis had something important to ask her.

Before long, Bai Yuxuan heard that her sister was looking for her and hurried over.

Bai Yuxuan entered the reception hall and was stunned when she saw her sister's condition.

Li Yuan whispered, telling Bai Yuxuan about the monk's plot against the Lady Marquis.

Hearing this, Bai Yuxuan was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat.

It was too dangerous. If Li Yuan had been a step late, the consequences for her sister would have been unimaginable.

She quickly bent down to check the Lady Marquis's physical condition.

This look made her frown. At this time, the Lady Marquis was still drowsy and unconscious.

Bai Yuxuan picked up half a stick of sandalwood from the incense burner next to her and smelled it, and her brow furrowed.

She had some research on various drugs and immediately smelled that there was a hypnotic drug mixed in the incense.

Li Yuan asked Bai Yuxuan on the side.

"How is it? Is the Marquis okay?"

"Can you tell what this monk wants to do?"

Bai Yuxuan shook her head.

"I can only tell that there are drugs in this incense that can confuse people's minds."

"Inhaling it will make people unconscious."

"I guess this daring monk wants to confuse my sister and do something impolite."

Li Yuan nodded.

"Yuxuan, you first help the Lady Marquis to the bedroom in the back to rest."

"Then prescribe some detoxification and brain-awakening medicine for the Marquis to take."

Then he turned to look at the monk who had been knocked unconscious by him and said.

"I'll take this evil monk to the side room and interrogate him properly!"

At this time, neither of them noticed that the Lady Marquis of Longxiang's eyes had already opened slightly.

But her eyes were always fixed on Li Yuan's tall and handsome figure.
