A peaceful night passed like this. The next morning, Mu Yan was woken up by the sound of Leng Yaner breaking into the door.
Opening his eyes drowsily, Mu Yan looked at Leng Yaner, who looked a little strange, frowned, stood up, and asked softly: "What's wrong?"
Walking to the bed with a gloomy look, Leng Yaner sighed heavily and said, "Many court officials were assassinated last night. Even some other well-known nobles who were not officials were also assassinated.
Brutally murdered"
After a pause, Leng Yaner added with a wry smile, "The Leng family was also attacked last night. Fortunately, my parents were not in the house, and only a few servants died. Otherwise, a fierce battle would have been inevitable."
Leng Yan'er's words gave Mu Yan a headache. He pressed his temples. Mu Yan got out of bed and moved his muscles. Unexpectedly, Xia Yifeng was so courageous that he even dared to attack him. He clearly knew that Leng Yan'er belonged to the Leng family.
Man, why would you do this?
After changing his clothes, Mu Yan strode out of the room to breathe in the fresh air outside. Looking at the snow piled up in the courtyard, Mu Yan turned around, smiled brightly at Leng Yan'er, and said, "I'll take this matter.
Don’t worry, I’ll give you an explanation.”
After eating something, the two of them walked on the street. Looking at the uneasy people passing by, Mu Yan smiled secretly. It seemed that Xia Yifeng was really preparing to make some big noise this time.
The sky was getting darker. Xia Yifeng, who had not appeared at the mansion all day, unexpectedly appeared in Mu Yan's sight again just when Mu Yan thought he would never come back.
Clenching his teeth, Mu Yan carefully followed Xia Yifeng's footsteps and watched as he walked into an inn located at the bottom of the mountain with a clear view of the palace. Mu Yan followed suit and walked in.
After requesting a guest room on the second floor, Mu Yan entered the room and sat motionless in front of the window, observing the situation outside.
He didn't inform Leng Yan'er that he had taken action, and he had no plan to let Leng Yan'er follow him. Mu Yan, who participated in tonight's operation, couldn't help but see Leng Yan'er appearing in front of him with twinkling eyes.
curled his lips
She sat next to Mu Yan without saying a word. Although Leng Yan'er didn't say anything, Mu Yan could still feel the anger radiating from her body.
"Ahem" cleared his throat, Mu Yan looked at Leng Yan'er with a smile and asked, "How did you know I'm here?"
"This inn belongs to the Leng family." Leng Yan'er glanced at Mu Yan lightly and explained simply and clearly: "If I really want to find you here, it won't be difficult."
"Tsk tsk tsk" Looking at Leng Yan'er's frosty expression with a smile in his eyes, Mu Yan chuckled and rubbed her hair, and then said helplessly: "Okay, I agree that you will go into the palace with me tonight.
, is it ok?”
Looking back and scanning Mu Yan up and down, Leng Yan'er tried hard to discern the credibility of her words, and how much she snorted. Leng Yan'er cast her gaze outside the window, through the slightly opened window gap.
, diverting one's attention
Suddenly, Leng Yan'er was stunned and Mu Yan, who followed Leng Yan'er's gaze, smiled as expected.
"Okay, let's go." After adjusting his clothes, Mu Yan's eyes flashed a haze that was not easy to be noticed.
Because he was afraid of being followed, Mu Yan chose to leave the inn with Leng Yan'er one after another, following the traces of Xia Yifeng and Yan Ling. Mu Yan looked at Yan Ling who wanted to have physical contact with Xia Yifeng again and again.
She couldn't help but sarcastically asked in her heart, when did Xia Yifeng's eyesight become so low-level?
After wandering in circles around the palace for a long time, when Mu Yan had already begun to wonder if Xia Yifeng had noticed him, Xia Yifeng finally made other moves.
The sight of Qi Heichu and Tang Wei made Mu Yan feel confident. He even hid his breathing in the distance. Mu Yan stared at Xia Yifeng intently, for fear that if he didn't pay attention, he would escape from him.
disappear before eyes
As the sky gets darker and darker, Xia Yifeng and the others are getting closer and closer to the palace. Due to Xia Yifeng's series of actions last night, there are many more guards around the palace today than usual.
Near the cliff, there were also a dozen more
On the top of the mountain with the cold wind, and on the outside of the city wall only two or three meters away from the cliff, more than twenty guards stood motionless at their posts, but their trembling bodies showed their fatigue and coldness.
Tian's mouth curled up, Xia Yifeng lowered his eyes gloomily and stamped his feet heavily. Just when the guards' eyes shifted to his side, five skilled men in black suddenly rushed out from inside the palace and moved quickly.
Sharply, one by one, the throats of most of the guards were wiped out. The remaining few were killed mercilessly by Tang Wei and Qi Heichu, and then kicked the corpses off the cliff.
With a cold smile, Xia Yifeng arrived at the palace with great ease. Xia Yifeng had long expected that Yin Bingchen would use this trick. When he did it last night, he had already arranged for ten carefully selected men to sneak into the palace and prepare for the attack.
Prepare for today's action
They all followed Xia Yifeng's footsteps and left. In the end, only Qi Heichu was left, guarding the cliff.
"Come out." He crossed his chest with his hands, Qi Heichu closed his eyes, and said to the empty corner: "They have already gone in."
Appearing in front of Qi Heichu with a slight smile, Mu Yan squinted his eyes, looked at the man in front of him who had always been taciturn, and asked softly: "Have you discovered my whereabouts?"
"No, but I know that you will definitely follow." Opening his eyes, Qi Heichu looked at Mu Yan, who was disguised as a stranger, and whispered: "I am responsible for picking up other accomplices here. For half an hour
After that, Xia Yifeng will take action. Are you ready to go in with me then, or do you want to find out now?"
"I'm leaving first, please pay attention." He gently patted Qi Heichu's shoulder. Mu Yan and Leng Yaner, who followed him, jumped up and disappeared. Qi Heichu sighed in his heart.
With his cleverness, Mu Yan understood that it would not be without reason that Xia Yifeng would leave Qi Heichu to guard this place today.
Qi Heichu had always known that Mu Yan would follow their whereabouts ever since Mu Yan showed up that day, so Qi Hei Chu had already laid out a route for Mu Yan to follow them invisibly, allowing Mu Yan to safely reach the palace.
Smiling with satisfaction, Mu Yan stood in the palace and scanned the scenery around him with great caution. After confirming that there were no other enemies nearby, Mu Yan motioned to Leng Yan'er to follow him.
Without going anywhere else, Mu Yan went straight to that night, where Xia Yifeng said that there were ice-red snow lotuses in the palace. Mu Yan, dressed in white, and Leng Yan'er lurked in the corner. The ice and snow under their feet turned into cold air.
It continuously penetrated into Mu Yan's body and tried hard to control his urge to cough. Mu Yan rubbed the tip of his red nose and bit his lower lip in grievance.
When is the worst time to catch a cold? It’s this time!
Cursing himself silently in his heart, when a strange sound came from the distance, Mu Yan knew that Xia Yifeng had already started to take action.
With his hand still on the long soft sword tied to his waist, Mu Yan stared sharply at Xia Yifeng, who had drifted here. The four of them watched Tang Wei and Qi Heichu wandering murderously among the guards who were desperately resisting and roaring.
looking in succession
Continuously, the corpses lying on the ground one after another looked at the snow stained red with blood and watched Xia Yifeng lead the woman straight to the palace gate. Mu Yan felt a long-lost feeling in his heart.
feeling
It’s been a long time since I killed someone wantonly...
Smiling strangely, Mu Yan admired the scene in front of him, while also paying attention to the situation in other parts of the increasingly chaotic palace.
Screams of killing gradually came from all directions. Mu Yan didn't know how many people Xia Yifeng had brought here, but Mu Yan knew that Xia Yifeng was really ready to give it a go today.
The figures of Xia Yifeng and the woman slowly disappeared from his sight, and they entered the entrance of the palace. Looking at Qi Heichu and Tang Wei who were being suppressed by groups of guards, Mu Yan first observed with interest
After checking Tang Wei's skills for a while, he unexpectedly turned his head and said to Leng Yan'er: "Let's go."
"Aren't you going to help them?" I originally thought that Mu Yan would tell him that he would show up to help Qi Heichu out of trouble, but Leng Yaner never expected that Mu Yan would say something like "We are going
where?"
"Go to other more interesting places" lowered his eyes, Mu Yan concealed the murderous look in his eyes
Qi Heichu and Tang Wei will be fine. Judging from the few minutes she has just observed, Mu Yan can be sure that the young Tang Wei is definitely no less skilled than Xia Yifeng. Watching him swim with ease.
Walking in the crowd, enjoying the fun of killing, Mu Yan didn't feel that he and Qi Heichu needed his help. Instead, it was somewhere else that made Mu Yan have the urge to get involved.
Taking Leng Yan'er with him, he arrived at the place where Xia Yifeng always stopped first. Mu Yan sighed in embarrassment, silently looked back at Leng Yan'er, and said resentfully: "I said, you shouldn't come here.
of"
The appearance of Leng Zhuoran and Zhou Youzhu made Leng Yan'er's face turn pale and he clenched his fists in confusion. Leng Yan'er said in a hoarse voice: "It's okay, I changed my appearance, they won't recognize me so easily.
of"
Leng Yan'er raised his head and met Mu Yan's eyes. Leng Yan'er, who cheered up a little, continued: "I won't fight them head on. But, Yan'er, you have to promise me not to hurt them in the slightest."
