Chapter 84

"It doesn't matter if you're really confused or just pretending to be confused? I just want to live my life in peace. I've understood since I was a child that it's not my own, so what's the use of fighting?"

Mu Changge smiled, "Brother, why bother to hide anything from me, who is the person who should have fallen off the cliff in the hunting ground, brother will not be unclear."

Mu Hongyu lowered his gaze, "That's just the second brother's wishful thinking. If he can understand that I have no intention of competing for power, he will naturally not do that kind of thing again."

He said he didn't believe it, but if he really didn't believe it, how could he deliberately avoid her sight?
Smiling, Mu Changge got up gracefully, "Since big brother has his own decision in his heart, I'm just chatting a few words. But there is one sentence, I hope big brother can remember it firmly. Whenever big brother thinks it through, long Song is always waiting, willing to help big brother."

Mu Hongyu's reaction was within her expectation.

The so-called empathy, these four words, are just empty words to comfort people after all, and now he refuses to agree, and he is unwilling to take that step, just because he has not experienced it yet.

If one day, he really experienced that kind of pain, then she wouldn't need to waste her words.

What's more, it won't be too far away from that day...

Along the way he came, Mu Changge walked slowly, and happened to arrive in front of Mu Dongyun's courtyard.

Coincidentally, Mu Dongyun just came out of the courtyard and bumped into each other head-on.

Mu Dongyun's face was still a bit shy, and Mu Changge smiled and said, "Where is Fifth Sister going?"

"I want to..."

Mu Dongyun was about to speak shyly, but the maid who was following behind her didn't know whether it was intentional or not, she lowered her head and touched her lightly, her face immediately seemed to be stabbed by something, "I want to go everywhere Let's go, the snow is quiet."

"Quietness is quietness. You have to be careful when you walk around. Don't fall down, or your brother will be very distressed." Mu Changge smiled at her.

For this humble fifth younger sister, Mu Changge always felt a little bit of pity in his heart.Although she was bored, she never had any bad thoughts.

Among the brothers and sisters, the one who loves Mu Dongyun the most is Mu Hongyu. Since she was young, she was accompanied by her eldest brother, so her relationship is naturally extraordinary.

Mu Dongyun nodded obediently, and responded, and waited until Mu Changge left and walked away, only then did she hear Lamei, the maid following behind her, heaved a sigh of relief, and reminded her softly: "Miss, don't be negligent, Auntie!" I told you repeatedly before, to tell the young lady to keep quiet."

Mu Dongyun sighed, with a layer of doubt floating on her face, she said softly: "I really don't understand, even if it's going to visit my aunt, it's not a shameful thing, why do you need to cover it up like this. "

Lamei fluttered her eyes and said consolingly: "Auntie is very thoughtful, maybe she is just afraid that if it spreads, someone in the house will gossip, so don't think too much, miss."

Nodding her head, Mu Dongyun also took La Mei and headed all the way in the direction of the eldest lady.

On this day, apart from the occasional roars and screams in Mu Xinyang's courtyard, the Mu mansion passed in an exceptionally calm manner, as if even time was frozen in the frost on the branches.

Leaning on the brazier, cooking tea over a slow fire, one day passed before I knew it, and I watched the dusk cover it again.

Smoke came out of the small kitchen again, and Bizhu entered the room holding a cup of hot porridge, as if she said to herself: "This is a rare day, and it's this time, and the prince didn't come to see the lady."

Mu Changge couldn't laugh or cry when he heard the words, "Why did you say it out of your mouth, it looks like a dignified prince who wants to spend a meal at our place."

Bi Zhu snickered, "My servant looked at it, it seemed like this."

Mu Changge shook his head, and couldn't help laughing, "You girl, you're getting more and more unruly. I'm not afraid that your words will reach the ears of the prince. It will be up to you whether you will be punished or not."

"That's why the servant only dares to say a few words in front of the lady. Who makes the lady love the servant and never gets angry with the servant?"

Putting down the porridge bowl, Bizhu held the tray again, opened the curtain with a smile and went out.

However, before the smile on Mu Changge's face faded away, there was a sudden scream from outside the door, accompanied by the sound of the tray falling to the ground in panic——

"Who's there!?"

It's Bizhu! ?Mu Changge's brows sank, why would Bizhu be so panicked?

Mu Changge got up quickly, opened the door curtain, and was about to poke his head out to have a look, but at this moment, he was embraced by the man who flew down from the eaves.

Between the lightning and the flint, a bright and cold light passed through the position where she was standing just now, and stably pierced through the thick curtain.

A few strands of hair fluttered down, Mu Changge fixed his eyes, only then did he realize that the person in front of him was actually Qi Jinzhi.

If it wasn't for him just now, I'm afraid that the one who was pierced at this moment would not be the curtain.

"Don't panic, with this king here, I will never let the second lady get hurt at all."

With a low voice, passing close to his ears, Mu Changge raised his eyes subconsciously, and met his eyes without deviation, and his heart trembled at this moment.

She had seen his ordinary appearance, and always thought that cynicism had already been engraved in his bones. She never thought that Qi Jinzhi, who was idle all day long and seemed to be ignorant of everything, would actually have something in his eyes. There will be such a cold and arrogant edge.

On a snowy night, the icy wind howled and swept past. Between the heaven and the earth, it seemed that only this arm could give her peace.

Seeing that the flying knife did not hurt anyone, another figure quickly flashed out from the dark place, holding a dagger in his hand, full of murderous aura, pointing the tip of the sword at Qi Jinzhi——

The pale-faced Bi Zhu was already frightened, and she took a deep breath, "My lord, be careful!"

Seeing that the man was about to stab with the dagger, Qi Jinzhi didn't seem to notice it, and hugged the man in his arms tightly with one arm, with tenderness in his eyes, which seemed to be able to melt the snow and ice.

There was a trembling little maid who was hiding in a corner and screamed immediately when she saw it.

Just when everyone thought that Qi Jinzhi would surely die with a stab of a sword, the eyes of the tender Cang Wang were suddenly extremely sharp.

Hearing a crisp sound, the dagger was severed in two by his Nuanyu folding fan. Seeing that the situation was not good, the assassin wanted to escape, but was captured by Mo Zhu who rushed over at this moment.

After pressing the assassin's acupuncture points, Mo Zhu's face was pale, and he knelt down in cold sweat, "It's my subordinate's negligence, I almost came late, I beg the master to forgive me!"

Mozhu here is holding a heart, but Bizhu on the other side burst into tears instantly, dragging two legs that were frightened and limp, stumbling towards Mu Changge, "Miss, are you injured!? Slaves should die! It's the slaves who are not good, and almost got the lady involved!"

Bizhu rushed over, and Mu Changge took advantage of the situation to gently push Qi Jinzhi away.The moment he let go of his arms, there was a hint of loss, which faintly flashed across Qi Jinzhi's eyes, and was immediately hidden by him.

Mu Changge looked at the assassin who committed the murder. He was dressed in night clothes, covering it tightly. Even though the acupoints were sealed by the black bamboo, his eyes were still shining brightly.

It is not difficult to see that this person's martial arts are by no means ordinary people.At first, when she realized that there was an assassin coming, Mu Changge subconsciously wondered if it might be the eldest lady, but now she can already conclude that the assassin will definitely not come after her.

Since the person he is looking for is not her, there is no doubt that the target he wants to assassinate will only be Qi Jinzhi.

"Who sent you here?" Qi Jinzhi asked coldly, looking down from above.

The man didn't answer, only a pair of eyes, which turned vigorously a few times.

Seeing this, Qi Jinzhi glanced at Mo Zhu who was still kneeling on the ground, and tightened his brows, "What are you still kneeling on, and this king never blamed you. Get up, untie his acupuncture point, and ask who is so ignorant?" At any rate, even this king dares to fight against me."

Mo Zhu stepped forward, and lightly unlocked the acupoints for him, "Say, who ordered you to come here!?"

The man sneered contemptuously, and before he could bite down hard, Qi Jin raised his eyebrows indifferently, flicked his fingers casually, and shot the jade pendant pinned at his waist into the assassin's mouth like an arrow. .

The jade pendant was stuck in his throat, and Qi Jinzhi's strength was exquisite. Yupei couldn't move up or down. His face turned purple.

Qi Jinzhi smiled, squinted his eyes slightly, and looked directly at the assassin. Although the voice that came out of his mouth was a bit of a smile, the coldness inside overwhelmed the surrounding ice and snow.

"Not very capable, but very loyal. Let me guess what you plan to do just now."

Qi Jinzhi put his hands behind his back lazily, looking at his leisurely expression, he didn't seem to be interrogating an assassin, but rather guessed a lantern riddle, "Bite your tongue and kill yourself, or did you hide poison?"

The assassin didn't say a word, and the panic that appeared on his face for a short time was gone at this moment, his face was cold, without any fear at all.

Staring at him and looking at him for a while, Qi Jinzhi sighed softly, "What should I do? You don't want to say it, but this king insists on making it clear. If you don't take out this jade pendant, you won't be able to open your mouth." , but if you take it out, you will end up short-sighted again, but it really stumps me."

The man let out a snort, as if he was extremely disdainful and calm.

Judging by this attitude, Mu Changge can already conclude that the assassin who came this time must be a dead man raised by someone.

The dead men fear nothing more than death, and they will never pry their mouths open even if they are easily tortured or subjected to ordinary torture.Once the task fails, the dead man will definitely commit suicide in the first place, just like just now.It is not uncommon for people to be captured alive, but those who can dig out some news from them are rare.

Mu Changge's eyes swept across Qi Jinzhi's body without a trace, and he didn't know if this King Cang had the ability to pry this man's mouth open.

Seeing his disdainful expression, Qi Jinzhi smiled lightly, but his eyes turned cold a little bit.

"Don't you think that if you don't speak, this king will not be able to come up with a perfect plan? This king knows that you are not afraid of death, but in this world, the most frightening thing is not necessarily losing your life!"
