Chapter 53: A Heart of Ice in the Jade Pot

This news was spread by the students of the college, which caused a lot of sensation, and there was an endless stream of students who came to Nanlu College to sign up, and even the outstanding students of some well-known colleges were full of longing for Nanlu College.

"How can it be!" In a luxurious mansion in the imperial city, in a dim study, a man with a fat head and big ears in a purple official uniform was sitting on a pear blossom wooden chair with an angry face, holding a teacup in his hand.

"Your Excellency is angry." There was a row of subordinates standing next to him, and they knelt down one after another.

"Then Mu Shengbai really thinks that he is a disciple of Liuyun Villa, and he dares to be a powerful man on the head of this adult?" He slammed the teacup to the ground.

A man who seemed to be a staff member stood up and said in a low voice: "My lord, if this Mu Shengbai is allowed to continue, then wouldn't it be meaningless for us to hold a meeting with friends in Yiwen?" At that point, the best students may be lost. ”

"Do you still have to say that? Hmph, Liuyun Villa has a different position from us, we have worked hard to let the students of Nanlu Academy not be able to participate in the last competition, but if Mu Shengbai implements that measure, most of the students will be attracted to it, so what is the point of us selecting the best of them, the quality is far inferior to the first time. ”

The purple-clothed man let the maid help him wipe the tea on his hands, his small and narrow eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes emitted a resentful light like a poisonous snake, which made the person who came into contact with that look feel a chill down his spine, and a chill rose from the soles of his feet.

"Then we want it!" The staff approached the man in purple and slashed his right hand around his neck.

The purple-clothed man sneered, "It's not okay to kill him, no matter how he says it, he is also Mu Changfeng's disciple, but it is not impossible to punish him a little." ”

"My subordinates know." The staff lowered their heads, and a cold light flashed in their eyes.

East Palace.

The prince, who was wearing an apricot yellow four-dragon pattern robe, was listening to his subordinates report on the matter, only to see his warm and jade-like face gradually become solemn, and the air pressure around him gradually decreased.

After the subordinates finished the confession, they stood aside and were very respectful.

"You go to Jinling City in person to remind Mu Shengbai." After pondering for a while, Du Weizhen slowly spoke, and his own momentum of not being angry and self-righteous emanated, which was involuntarily convincing.

"Yes!" The subordinate did not hesitate, in his opinion, the prince is faith, and what he said must be right.

Jinling City.

"Huh!" A sharp arrow shining with cold light shot through the window into the pillar next to the bed, Mu Shengbai, who was reading a book on the chair next to the bed, looked at him, picked up the sword hanging on the wall and rushed out, there was only the sound of the wind blowing and the leaves falling, and there was no one. Leaving so soon?

Mu Shengbai felt strange in his heart, and he didn't delve into it, walked back to the room, and looked at the arrow that was deeply rooted in the pillar, and the end of the arrow was only tied with an ordinary black cloth, and he couldn't see any special marks. He pulled out the arrow, but saw a note tied to the tip, Mu Shengbai moved his mind and opened the note, there were only four words on it: Be careful of sneak attack.

This? Isn't this a sneak attack but a reminder?

So who was the one who reminded him, not only knew that someone was going to sneak up on him, but also reminded him. Mu Shengbai was puzzled, if it was the people of Liuyun Villa, why should they be sneaky, they would definitely protect him. If not, he thought about it for a while, and he didn't know this kind of person in his memory.

I can't think of a reason, Mu Shengbai doesn't think much about it, he is not a person who loves to drill the horns.

Mu Shengbai hid a group of guards transferred from Liuyun Villa in all corners of his room, and some hid them in the trees outside the room, and the current Lanwu Pavilion can be said to be impregnable.

The night is getting thicker, the noisy Jinling City is gradually quiet, the bright moon illuminates the entire Jinling City, several black shadows silently sneak in the night, silently float over one rooftop after another, and then stop at Lanwu Pavilion.

The men looked at each other and slowed down, and flew down the wall into the courtyard, darts in their hands, glowing with a chilling chill in the white moonlight, as they approached the dimly lit room.

Just as they were about to push open the door of the room, Mu Shengbai broke out with a few guards, and several other guards also flew down from the tree to surround them.

"It's not polite for a few people to break into my Lanwu Pavilion at night." The corners of Mu Shengbai's eyes were lightly raised, and his thin lips were tightly pursed.

They were stunned for a moment and then did not hesitate to make a move, the dart carrier in his hand flew towards Mu Shengbai with a broken wind, he took a few steps back, waved the sword in his hand and opened the dart, and the other guards also shot.

Although the assassins were extraordinary, their fists were invincible, and they were finally pressed to their knees by the guards.

"Who sent you?" Mu Shengbai let people uncover their masks, revealing a few ordinary faces, the only thing that can impress people is nothing more than those lifeless and unwavering eyes, it seems that they don't care about the situation in front of them, don't care about their fate, let alone life and death.

They looked at Mu Shengbai, their faces expressionless, vaguely heard the sound of being bitten, and then saw a trace of black blood flowing from the corner of their mouths.

"Not good! Pry their mouths open. Mu Shengbai immediately understood that they were taking poison, but even then it was too late, and in the end, there were only a few cold corpses lying in the courtyard, all with black lips, which was a symptom of poisoning to death.

It seems that these are dead soldiers trained by special people, and they will have a small bag of poison in their mouths before they go out on a mission, and once they are caught in a failed mission, they will bite through the poison bag.

Now Mu Shengbai can be said to have lost all the clues, and can only guess that someone is interested in the development of the Lan Pavilion, so he wants to kill himself and ask the guards to take the body outside the city to bury it.

After dealing with these things, Mu Shengbai put the plan to expand the shops on the agenda, and asked people to find a few stores with excellent geographical locations.

Mu Shengbai then asked people to go to Luban Pavilion to find a few teams of people to decorate, because there was an accident when the Lanwu Pavilion was renovated, so the shopkeeper of Luban Pavilion specially sent the gold medal decoration in Luban Pavilion, and the price offered to Mu Shengbai was the same as that of ordinary decoration, Mu Shengbai personally went to Luban Pavilion to find their shopkeeper to thank him.

Under the extremely fast decoration speed of Lu Bange, the shops were quickly renovated, and Mu Shengbai also hired a number of guys to ask Qi Huan to call them basic hospitality and then divide them into various shops.

Now everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.
