In the martial arts hall, after Yan Mu practiced a set of boxing techniques, he turned around and saw Qin Shuyi standing aside. Although his eyes were looking at him, he was actually distracted, and his brows were wrinkled unconsciously, obviously struggling with something.

Yan Mu ignored him and turned around to walk outside the training ground. It was lunch time now, and most of the students in the training ground had left.

He came to the dining hall, had a meal, and found a table to sit down. Just like before, the people around him always looked at him with hostility or contempt, but he didn't care, as long as they disturbed him to eat.

It's rare that no one disturbed me today, so I had a peaceful meal.

When he was leaving, the coach of his team stopped him and asked him to leave later in the afternoon and fill the two water bottles in the training ground with water.

"We take turns, it's your turn today."

Since this was the case, Yan Mu had nothing to say.

However, the instructor also told him to go to the spring in the back mountain to fetch water, saying that the water there was delicious. Of course, Yan Mu had seen the two water bottles, and it would take at least ten trips to fill them up.

.

He returned to the martial arts training ground. There were not many people on the ground. At this time, Qin Shuyi came towards him. Yan Mu suspected that he had not gone to the dining hall to eat at all and had been waiting for him here.

"You come with me." He said.

After saying that, Qin Shuyi walked outside the martial arts hall. Yan Mu followed him and followed him to the place where he rested. This was a room with a bed, a desk and a chair. The room was not big, but it was neat and clean.

.

The two sat down in front of and behind the desk. Qin Shuyi was still hesitant and did not speak.

Yan Mu didn't ask any questions, just leaned on the back of the chair, crossed one leg, and waited leisurely.

After a while, Qin Shuyi sighed and looked up at Yan Mu, "As the seventh prince of Da Rong, he was sent to Beijin as a hostage. You actually know very well in your heart that your father and your country have given up on you."

Yan Mu twitched the corner of his mouth, "My life is my own, I don't need others to pick it up and put it down."

Qin Shuyi narrowed his eyes, "You really want to escape Beijin and return to Da Rong, right?"

Yan Mu smiled casually, "I think so."

"What if someone could help you?"

"You are talking about Prince Qing, right?"

Qin Shuyi was startled, but Yan Mu had already guessed it. He obviously knew what he wanted to say, but he still said solemnly: "As long as you stand with King Qing and help King Qing achieve great things, King Qing promises to let you go."

Go back to Dayong."

Yan Mu lowered his head and smiled. Now that the King of England was gaining momentum, King Qing had already made the determination to sink the ship and use his 100,000 troops to control the three northern states to contain the King of England's army in the southern states.

The abacus is good, but it's a pity that this person is not so good.

"Prince Qing also promised you, right? For example, after he ascends to the throne, he will protect you the honor of the Marquis of Xiangyang Mansion?"

Qin Shuyi took a deep breath and said, "I don't want any honor from the Hou family. I just want my sister and I to live with dignity."

Yan Mu raised his eyebrows, "Then do you believe in King Qing?"

Qin Shuyi said nothing and frowned.

"Prince Qing is a man who is narrow-minded, stubborn, arrogant, has no principles, no credibility, and is extremely cunning. You don't even believe in such a person, but you expect me to believe in him?"

"I don't have a choice, do you?"

"Yes, I have!"

"King of England?"

Yan Mu stood up and said, "You clearly already have the answer in your heart."

"Although the British king is in charge of the military power of Nanzhou, he has no support in the court and has the least chance of winning."

"But the King of England is an upright and reliable person, so there is still a chance of winning if he gives it a try. And if Coach Qin has some family and country interests and cares about the suffering of the people, he should also want to support such a person."

Seeing Qin Shuyi being entangled again, Yan Mu twitched the corner of his mouth, turned around and walked out.

Although the Marquis of Xiangyang asked for his position to be reduced, he was still in the same spirit as other noble families, so King Qing would win over him. If he stood on the side of the King of England, it would be a great help.

Gee, it’s a bit ironic that he worked so hard for Beijin to have a wise new king!

In the afternoon, after all the students from the Jiaowu Hall left, Yan Mu carried his burden and walked to the back mountain. The water from the mountain spring in the back mountain was sweet, so the water man at the training ground prepared water from the mountain spring.

The martial arts hall was very big, but luckily the training ground was close to the back mountain. He left the martial arts hall and walked through a small forest. He heard the sound of water after walking for a while.

There was no one around in the forest. Yan Mu walked to the mountain spring and bent down to fill a bucket of water. He suddenly realized that something was wrong. When he looked carefully, the water was actually a little red.

He put down the bucket and looked up along the water. The mouth of the spring was still above.

After a slight hesitation, he walked towards the mountain. The water became redder as he went higher. He saw the mouth of the spring in the distance, and at the same time he saw a person, who looked like a woman, lying next to him.

He ran over and found that she was indeed a woman. She was not fully clothed and her body was covered with scars of abuse, especially her lower body. Yan Mu frowned and looked at the woman's face again. She felt that she was familiar. After thinking about it carefully, she couldn't help but eat it.

Startled.

Qin Zhenzhen, a girl from the Marquis of Xiangyang Mansion, Qin Shuyi’s sister!

Here, Qin Shuyi left the martial arts hall on horseback. When he passed the fork leading up the mountain, he saw a figure hiding behind a tree. He jumped off the horse, strode over, and grabbed the man's arm.

She is my maid.

"Chengyue, why are you here?"

When Cheng Yue saw Qin Shuyi, her face was full of panic, "My slave... my slave..."

Qin Shuyi frowned, "Where's the girl? You are her personal maid, is she here too?"

"Girl, she..."

Seeing Cheng Yue stumbling, Qin Shuyi realized that she must be hiding something from him, and immediately shouted angrily: "It's getting late, tell the truth now, if the girl is in danger, I won't be able to spare you!"

Cheng Yue was so frightened that she hurriedly said: "The girl went to the back mountain."

"Back Mountain? What is she doing in Back Mountain?"

Cheng Yue shook her head, "This slave really doesn't know. She just asked me to guard here."

Qin Shuyi didn't think much and hurriedly rode to the back mountain.

Yan Mu bent down and tested Qin Zhenzhen's breath with her hand. It was gone. The fatal wound was on her chest. She was stabbed and she bled a lot. The blood flowed down the stream.

But what did Qin Zhenzhen, a boudoir woman, do here? And she died in such a miserable way!

He was returning to the Jiaowu Hall to summon people. When he turned around, he found several students from the Jiaowu Hall walking towards him. These were from his team. They saw him first, then walked a few steps closer and saw the ground on the ground.

The corpse then showed a look of shock.

"You, you killed someone!"

Yan Mu squinted his eyes, there was no blood on his hands, and there was no murder weapon, so why should they assume that he committed murder, unless they wanted to frame him.

"Hurry and catch him, don't let him escape!"

With that said, several people rushed up, and Yan Mu could only be forced to fight with them.

Naturally, these few people were no match for him and were quickly knocked down by him. However, at this moment, the sound of horse hoofbeats was heard, and then Qin Shuyi ran over. When he saw Qin Zhenzhen behind him, his pupils shrank suddenly.

He walked forward, suddenly staggered, and knelt on the ground. He stood up in panic, staggered and ran forward. When he reached Qin Zhenzhen's body, he took two steps back.

"I...I came here to find my sister...where is she?"

A student came forward and whispered: "Instructor Wei, this is your sister."

"Nonsense!" Wei Shuyi's eyes widened, "My sister is fine. I found her and we went home together."

"Coach Wei, this is really your sister, and we all saw it, it was Yan Mu who killed her!" As he said that, the man pointed at Yan Mu, "Not only did he insult your sister, he also killed her!"

Wei Shuyi raised his head, his eyes were red, and he glared at Yan Mu fiercely.
