Xiao Nian looked at the back of the evil ghost leaving, and only after a long time did he say, "Is he just gone?

Mu Chen said, "Not only did he not kill us, but he helped us"

Hua Qing said, "You said that Lin Hongyue's subordinates will help us?"

Mu Chen said, "Have you ever thought that since the evil ghost can send the scarecrow to the inn, it means that he knows that the inn is your foothold, and he also knows that the little emperor is in the inn, but Lin Hongyue didn't send anyone to arrest you?"

Hua Qing said: "So what?"

Mu Chen said, "Lin Hongyue has seized power, and there must be people in the court who are not convinced, so he urgently needs to use the little emperor to appease people's hearts, so he wants to find the little emperor more than anyone else."

Hua Qing said, "But he didn't come"

Mu Chen said, "That's because he didn't know that the little emperor was in the inn."

Hua Qing said: "This means that the evil ghost helped us deceive Lin Hongyue? Maybe the evil ghost doesn't know where we are."

Mu Chen sighed softly, "If I am an evil ghost and see Xi Mengchu settled in the inn, even if I am not sure, I should go in and check"

Bian Xiaofeng said, "But he didn't check, which means that he knows that there is no need to check at all, the little emperor must be in the inn."

Mu Chen shook his head and said, "Maybe he doesn't want to check, he would rather believe that the little emperor is not there, so that when he deceives Lin Hongyue, he also deceives himself by the way."

Bian Xiaofeng said, "But, why did he help us? Is it just to repay the favor?"

I don't know, no one knows what the demon is thinking, and no one knows why or why he is doing it.

Sima Yunxuan stepped forward and grabbed Shen Ji and said, "Why are you here, why were you caught by the evil ghost?"

Shen Ji didn't speak.

Mu Chen said, "I asked you to save the third brother, why didn't you show up for a long time?"

Shen Ji suddenly pulled out a dagger from his sleeve and stabbed it into his chest.

The blood-stained clothes were red, and the people of Shen Ji also fell to the ground, never able to stand up.

Sima Yunxuan said, "Why? Why did he die?"

Mu Chen said, "Because he and Zhai Tong are both Zhang Qianzhi's people"

Sima Yunxuan said, "Impossible, they are my most trusted guards"

Mu Chen said: "The most trusted people are often more likely to betray you"

Sima Yunxuan stopped talking, but lowered his head.

Mu Chen said, "He has already told Zhang Qianzhi the news that Zhang Qianzhong is not dead, so when I tested Zhang Qianzhi, he could be so indifferent, because he already knew that I would test him, and he was ready"

He paused and continued, "And among the people who know about Zhang Qianzhong, Bai Chutian and Mei Luo'er have never seen Zhang Qianzhi, and Miss Jin and you naturally won't talk about it, so there are only the two of them left, and only they can report to Zhang Qianzhi."

Sima Yunxuan said, "Then why are they following us again?"

Mu Chen said, "I asked them to save you, they didn't come as soon as possible, maybe they went to find Zhang Qianzhi"

Sima Yunxuan said, "But they know about Uncle Zhong, and Uncle Zhi will still let them live?"

Mu Chen said, "Zhang Qianzhi is a smart person, he knows that if he suddenly kills these two people, he will inevitably be suspected, not to mention that they are your close ministers."

Sima Yunxuan said, "But why did they commit suicide?"

Mu Chen said, "Maybe Zhang Qianzhi threatens them with their family, if they expose Zhang Qianzhi's secret, their family will suffer, so they can only commit suicide." in exchange for the safety of the family"

He sighed suddenly and said, "It's a pity that even if they die, their families may not be alive."

Sima Yunxuan said, "What is Uncle Zhi going to do, what is he for?"

Mu Chen didn't speak, even Zhang Qianzhong didn't know about this question, let alone them?

It was already dark, and the rain was falling again.

Firewood was added, and the fire burned even more vigorously.

The crowd fell asleep in uncertainty and unknown.

The next day, everyone split into two ways and left Juyi Villa.

Sima Yunxuan, Bian Xiaofeng and his wife went to the Northern Dynasty to treat the sick, Xiao Nian and Shi Qi were responsible for protecting them, and the rest of the people went to Yangzhou with Bai Chutian.

Mu Chen specially instructed Sima Yunxuan not to act rashly, so as not to know what to do, so as not to be calculated by Zhang Qianzhi.

Yangzhou is a good place, not only blessed by the Bai family, but also close to the capital, which is convenient to explore the situation in the city.

Jiangnan is famous for its beautiful mountains and rivers, among which the water towns in Jiangnan are even more prestigious.

Since ancient times, tourists have come to Jiangnan and all admire the beautiful scenery and artistic conception of Jiangnan.

Everyone says that Jiangnan is good, and tourists only meet Jiangnan Lao.

And Mu Chen was sitting on a small boat, driving in the water town.

Mu Chen said to Cao Ding, "Mr. Cao, have you seen Huang Yun on this trip to the Southern Dynasties?"

Cao Ding shook his head and said, "I was ordered by the boss to arrive in the Southern Dynasty first, and I have never seen Huang Yun, and then Li Yanguang and Lin Hongyue came south, and a few of us got together again."

Mu Chen said, "Then who is taking care of Xiang Tianzong now?"

Cao Dingdao "Xiangtianzong is taken care of by Lin Ji"

Mu Chen said, "Lin Ji, do you know this person?"

Cao Dingdao "We met when we were young, he is Lin Xiangtian's younger brother, I don't know the number of martial arts, but he was very honest when he was young, so no one usually pays attention to him." After Lin Hongyue came to power, he killed all the people of the older generation, except for the eldest grandson who took the initiative to join Lin Hongyue, only Lin Ji survived."

After hearing this, Mu Chen looked at Shangguan Wuyi, and sadness welled up in Shangguan Wuyi's eyes.

If Lin Ji is an honest person, how could he secretly hook up with Heartbreaker Sanniang, and how could he lie to her with everyone?

Shangguan Wuyi wronged herself for marrying Lin Hongyue, just to save her godmother, but she couldn't have imagined that everyone lied to her from the beginning.

No one can fully understand the sadness in her heart. But she also had to have a question in her heart at this moment.

Could Mu Chen have deceived her as well? Should he trust Mu Chen completely?

But fortunately, not long after the grief, everyone had already docked and disembarked, and no one mentioned this matter again.

The houses in Jiangnan Water Town are all built near the water, so the structure of the houses is not too large.

They got out of the boat and entered a room.

This house is not big and is an authentic water town structure.

This is exactly what Mu Chen likes, because it is not conspicuous here, and it is really suitable for them.

Bai Chutian had already ordered someone to clean up this place, and without his order, no one from the Bai family would be allowed to enter here.

When they arrived, it was evening, and after dinner, it was twilight.

Hua Qing and Xiao Fengyin were in the same room, and they went back to rest immediately after eating. They know who they are now, so they also know how to be restrained and will not make some excessive demands.

And the rest were gathered together in the halls.

Everyone sat in their chairs, silent, waiting for Mu Chen to speak.

Mu Chen said, "How many days are left until October 1st?"

Bai Chutian said, "Back to the boss, there are still seven days"

Mu Chen said, "Is the smoke and rain tower far away from here?"

Bai Chutian said, "It's not far, it only takes three days to go by boat"

Mu Chen said, "You go and prepare, and I will set off the day after tomorrow."

Bai Chutian said, "Do you need to be accompanied by your subordinates?"

Mu Chen said, "No, follow me without clothes, everyone else stays here, protect the little emperor, and can't go out of the pool"

Meloel said, "Brother Kemu, what should you do if you encounter danger if you go this time?"

Mu Chen smiled slightly after hearing this, and said, "Then you'd better hope that I won't be in danger."

Cao Dingdao, "Boss, do you really want to go to a decisive battle with the owner of the flower house? I have seen the marksmanship of the Hua family, it is really a masterpiece."

Mu Chen sighed, "I've always wanted to avoid this duel, but I know that Hua Miaoru is a person, and he can't give up."

Cao Ding sighed, "Then I just hope that the boss and the owner of the flower house can be safe and sound, and their lives will not be harmed."

Mu Chen said, "Brother Guo, when these **** are not there, you help me to inquire about Huang Yun's whereabouts, since he came to the Southern Dynasty, there has been no news"

Guo Feng said, "Yes"

Mu Chen's words were finished, and everyone dispersed.

Mu Chen and Shangguan Wuyi returned to the room, and the two looked at each other speechlessly.

Shangguan Wuyi suddenly said, "Why did you let me go?"

Mu Chen smiled: "You don't want to go?"

Shangguan Wuyi said, "What am I going to do?

Mu Chen smiled, "How do you know I can defeat him?"

Shangguan Wuyi asked rhetorically, "Do you want me to guess that you lose?"

Mu Chen said, "Maybe I really lost?"

Shangguan Wuyi hurriedly said, "Don't talk nonsense"

Mu Chen smiled, "If I lose, at least one person can collect the body for me, don't you say?"

Shangguan Wuyi turned his head away and ignored Mu Chen.

Mu Chen smiled, "What? Don't you want to collect the body for me?"

Shangguan Wuyi said, "If you die, I will throw your body into the river to feed the fish."

Mu Chen laughed, hugged Shangguan Wuyi from behind, and whispered in her ear, "If I really die, will you be sad?"

Shangguan Wuyi said, "What you're talking about isn't nonsense?"

Mu Chen said again, "If I really die, I want you to do me a favor."

Shangguan Wuyi said, "Then wait until you die."

Mu Chen said, "But I want you to keep it in mind"

Shangguan Wuyi was silent for a while, and he could tell that Mu Chen was not joking.

So she said slowly, "What's the hurry?"

She asked this sentence, does it mean that she has no confidence in Mu Chen?

Even if Mu Chen's martial arts are strong, who can guarantee that there will be no accidents during the battle? Not to mention that Mu Chen's and Hua Miaoru's kung fu skills are already equal.

Mu Chen said in a serious tone, "I want you to tell Hua Miaoru that you must not let him go to Lin Hongyue."

Shangguan Wuyi said, "I can't imagine that you have to think about your friends when you die"

Mu Chen smiled, "This may be my only advantage."

Shangguan Wuyi said, "What about you?"

Mu Chen's smile suddenly disappeared.

Shangguan Wuyi continued, "If you win, do you still want to go to Lin Hongyue?"

Mu Chen didn't speak.

Shangguan Wuyi said, "Since you know that you can't beat Lin Hongyue, why do you have to go to him? Now that everyone has escaped from him, why do you have to go back?"

Mu Chen let go of Shangguan Wuyi's waist, stood up, walked to the window, and listened to the sound of rain outside the window.

After a long time, Mu Chen said slowly, "Because some things have to be done."

Life is not like this, there are some things that you don't want to do, but you have to do, even if you have countless reasons to avoid it.

You have to do it, because you know you'll regret it if you don't.

In order not to regret it, this is a good reason.
