As Mu Changtian finished speaking, the escorting officers took out the keys of the prison van, opened the door of the prison van, and released everyone from Duke Mu's mansion.

Because they were escorting the Duke Mu's family, the guards were not so strict. Usually when they arrived at the resting place, they would open the car door and let them out to rest.

At this time, a guard walked into the inn and said to the owner of the inn: "Honor, we are going to stay here today. How many rooms does your inn have?"

The shopkeeper said with a smile on his face: "Sir, the inn is full, you'd better go elsewhere."

Hearing this, the officer said dissatisfiedly: "What, is it full?"

"Are you kidding me? You have no business here, how can you get so many customers?"

The innkeeper said: "Because there is no village in front of us and no store in the back, people passing by this road can only come to our inn to stay."

Hearing this, the guard had no choice but to say: "Well, do you have a wider space here? Let's rest tonight."

The innkeeper said: "The backyard of our inn is quite spacious. Why don't you spend the night in the backyard?"

The servant thought for a while and was about to say something when the innkeeper immediately continued: "If the official stays at our inn, the food and drinks tonight will be free. What do you think?"

After hearing this, the guard said without hesitation: "Well, find someone to help us feed the horses.

The shopkeeper immediately said: "Okay, I will arrange for someone to feed the horse."

The officer then turned around and left the inn, came to Mu Changtian, and said apologetically: "Mr. Mu, I'm really sorry. This inn is full of people, and I'm afraid you will have to rest in the open air tonight."

Mu Changtian said calmly: "It doesn't matter, you can go and do your work."

The servant immediately said: "Okay, I will ask the shopkeeper to bring you some food later."

After the words fell, the officer walked away. At this time, two brothers, Mu Jingwu and Mu Xingping, surrounded him.

Mu Xingping said: "Dad, why has it been two days and no one has taken action against us? Doesn't His Majesty intend to let us go?"

Hearing this, Mu Changtian laughed, and then said: "Why are you so anxious? Aren't they coming soon?"

Hearing this, Mu Xingping was startled, and then looked around nervously, "Where are they? Where are they? Why didn't I see them?"

Mu Changtian looked at the inn in front of him and said, "They are waiting for us inside."

Hearing this, Mu Xingping and Mu Jingwu turned their eyes to the inn in front of them. At this time, they saw a few people staring at them upstairs with half-open windows.

Seeing that the Mu family noticed the upstairs, those people immediately closed the windows.

Seeing this scene, Mu Jingwu and Mu Xingping were shocked.

They thought that the emperor had already planned to let them go, but they didn't expect that it was just that the time hadn't come yet. They were afraid that those people would take action tonight.

Mu Jingwu then asked: "Dad, what should we do now?"

Mu Changtian said: "Let's talk about it tonight, I want to see who is coming."

Mu Changtian knew in his heart that the emperor would definitely send a master-level expert this time, but he was not sure who he would be.

There are many masters he can think of, and there are also many who have conflicts with him.

Soon, the sun in the sky gradually set.

Mu Changtian and the others were also very energetic.

At this moment, a whistle sounded in the yard.

As the whistle sounded, a group of people wearing black clothes and masks appeared in the yard.

After seeing this scene, the officers escorting Mu Guogong's mansion understood something immediately. They quickly got up and ran away.

The men in black did not stop the guards from escaping. After all, their target was not the guards themselves.

The men in black took out their bows and arrows and aimed them at the people in Duke Mu's mansion.

The men from Duke Mu's Mansion immediately stood up and surrounded the men and children. At this time, the women in Duke Mu's Mansion were trembling with fear and did not dare to move at all.

At this time, the crowd in black gradually dispersed, and a man walked out of the crowd. The man took off his mask, revealing his scarred face.

After seeing the man's true face, Mu Changtian sneered and said, "I just thought of anyone who might come to see me off, but I didn't think of you!"

Hearing this, the scarred man also smiled and said: "Teacher, if I hadn't come to see you off personally, how could His Majesty be willing to hand over the newly formed Dragon Guard Army to me."

The scarred man in front of him is named Chen Pengyi. He was promoted by Mu Changtian, who can also be regarded as his mentor.

On weekdays, in order to repay his teacher's kindness, Chen Pengyi was also very kind to Duke Mu's family.

Even when Mu Guogong's palace was implicated due to the Zhou family's rebellion a year ago, he personally begged Emperor Xia for mercy. In the end, Emperor Xia used the iron scroll to avoid death, so he did not take action against Mu Guogong's palace.

However, what Mu Changtian didn't expect was that such a person would actually want his own life.

Mu Changtian sighed and said, "People's hearts are really unpredictable. It seems that when you begged the emperor for mercy, it was just to get the Mu family to hand over the iron scroll to avoid death. This should be what the emperor asked you to do, right?"

Chen Pengyi said calmly: "Teacher, it's already this time, what else is there to say about those things."

"Why don't you tell me what unfulfilled wishes you have, and maybe the students can fulfill them for you."

Hearing this, Mu Changtian laughed and said: "Hahaha, Chen Pengyi, Chen Pengyi, today I was abandoned by Lu Xingqiu, you never thought that one day you would also be abandoned by Lu Xingqiu! By that time, I’m afraid your end will be even more miserable than mine!”

Chen Pengyi said with a nonchalant expression: "Teacher doesn't need to worry about this. I will never follow the teacher's path."

"Okay, since the teacher has nothing to say, please go on your way!"

Having said this, Chen Pengyi waved his hand and said coldly: "Fire the arrow!"

However, at this moment, countless arrows suddenly shot down from the roof of the inn. Those brought by Chen Pengyi were hit by the arrows before they had time to react.

Seeing this scene, Chen Pengyi's face suddenly darkened, "Who! How dare you interfere in His Majesty's affairs!"

After Chen Pengyi finished speaking, he saw some people in red clothes jumping down from the building. These people were all at the fifth level.

After seeing these people, Mu Changtian was slightly stunned.

He actually guessed that the mysterious prince who gave them the Great Return Pill would send people to rescue them, but he didn't expect that the people sent by the other party were actually warriors above the fifth level.

It seemed that the prince really valued their Duke Mu's mansion.

At this time, Chen Pengyi said coldly: "Since you dare to interfere in His Majesty's affairs, you should also be prepared to die."

Then Chen Pengyi said loudly: "Come out, everyone, stop hiding!"

As soon as Chen Pengyi finished speaking, two masters and several warriors appeared behind Chen Pengyi.

Seeing these people, Mu Changtian smiled and said: "Your Majesty really thinks highly of me. In order to kill me, a useless person, he actually sent three masters here!"
