Chapter 108 - Xiaobai
"The painting is very lifelike. Jiujiu, if you can draw another one that is more like the real thing, your uncle will give Xiaobai to you." Song Yuntian stretched out his big hand and rubbed Feng Shijiu's hair.
"Uncle keeps his word!" He said and ran to the study.
"Brother Song, since you two have recognized each other as siblings, Zi Yan will not disturb you any further. I will take my leave now. If you have time in the future, you can come to Mu Mansion in the west of the city to find me." After he finished speaking, he turned around and left quickly.
Mu Ziyan walked on the street, stroking his sweaty forehead, his mind was a mess. How many places had this previous incarnation been to, how many people did he know, and why even those few people he just met could give him a headache like a knife file. He was only thinking about what happened just now, and bumped into a warm chest.
"Are you okay?" A voice as cold as winter sounded.
Mu Ziyan slowly raised his head, and instantly jumped away like a rabbit whose tail was stepped on, blurting out, "Brother, are you a human or a ghost?"
"Get out of the way!" The man put his big, bony hand on Mu Ziyan's face and easily moved away the reckless guy who was blocking his way.
"Well...how can you be so rude? Do you dare to leave your name so that I can deal with you later!" Mu Ziyan covered his nose with one hand and pointed at the man with the other hand tremblingly.
"Yan Mu!" The man looked at Mu Ziyan with cold eyes.
Mu Ziyan returned to the mansion in a depressed mood. He ate three bowls of rice to suppress his anger. He was about to go back to his room for a nap, but was interrupted by Mu Hai who ran in from outside. "Young Master, the emperor sent someone to tell me that an assassin had just appeared in the palace and Princess Chao Ning was stabbed. Now the emperor is furious."
"What does this have to do with me?" Mu Ziyan raised his eyebrows indifferently.
That's none of my business! Suppressing his raging heart, Mu Hai said calmly: "The emperor asked you to enter the palace to accompany Princess Chaoning and calm her down."
"Fuck... I'm the high priest, right..."
"One thousand taels..." Mu Hai wiped the sweat off his forehead gently.
"Chu Xin, quickly prepare court robes for your young master!" He looked at Mu Hai reproachfully, and the meaning in his eyes was obvious, "Why didn't you tell this young master earlier? Do you want to take the thousand taels for yourself?"
shameless!
It was only when he arrived at the palace that he realized that he was not asked to come and talk with the princess, but to help solve the case! With just a few large footprints on the ground, he could only conclude that they were from the same person, and nothing else could be found.
The emperor then said that he did not handle the case carefully. What kind of logic is this? This young master is the high priest. Do I need to shout it out to the whole continent again, "High Priest"?
After quarreling with the emperor, Mu Ziyan walked out of the hall with his hands behind his back, feeling relaxed. He took a deep breath and looked up at the sky. He felt that the air was unusually fresh. He began to hum a little tune unconsciously. However, he didn't expect that someone covered his mouth and dragged him into a narrow alley when he was humming happily.
“Um… um…” Let go!
"You'd better behave yourself, or I don't mind breaking your neck right now!" A chilling voice came from behind his head. Mu Ziyan's hands, which were originally struggling slightly, were paralyzed in an instant, and his mind kept recalling various strategies for encountering robbery in his previous life.
What if you are robbed of your money and raped while walking on a secluded path? Four words: cooperate with him first! If your life is gone, everything will be meaningless.
Yan Mu lowered his head slightly and looked at the person in his arms who suddenly became quiet. A glimmer flashed in his deep eyes, and then he dragged the person to a dilapidated and abandoned cold palace. After a careful check and finding no one following him, Yan Mu let down his guard a little and slammed the door hard, but he didn't expect that the moment he closed the door, he felt a sharp pain in his ribs and his whole stomach cramped.
