The two looked at each other, and Mu Yunyi actually felt that she was a little weak-hearted, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

"Mu Xiu, I ......"

"I'm back, I'm sorry, I didn't have time to tell you in a hurry." This was what Mu Yunyi wanted to say to Mu Xiu, but he didn't expect Mu Xiu to say it.

"You...... Where did this go? Mu Yunyi looked at him suspiciously.

"I was in a hurry to leave the West Dome, although the things in the house have been arranged, but the shops and restaurants in various cities have not had time to arrange them one by one, and now you and I are not in the West Dome all the year round, it is inevitable that their hearts will fluctuate, so I quietly went back and personally deployed to be at ease, and by the way, we also started the dark line we had buried in Dongzhao, and it would be more convenient to get the news in the future."

After Mu Ting lost the position of the prince and was named the prince of Shun, he secretly bought a lot of buying and selling properties, including pawnshops, money houses, gambling houses, cloth shops and restaurants, etc., in addition to being scattered in the cities and departments of the West Dome, even Dongzhao, Beiqiang and Nancang also have many shops, and the real owner behind the scenes is actually Mu Ting. These shops are all run by loyal and reliable people under Mu Ting, and they all seem to have their own identities on the outside: some are restaurant shopkeepers who love money like their lives, some are fierce and fierce gambling house owners, and some are shrewd and capable money house managers, and they all secretly have a common identity, that is, Mu Ting's people. On the one hand, the benefits of these transactions are very considerable, but the more important role of their existence is to secretly obtain information from all parties and assemble into a network of power relations, as a powerful force in the hands of Mu Ting.

Mu Yunyi did not doubt him, believed Mu Xiu's words, and was deeply moved and grateful in his heart, in the palace of Prince Shun, although Mu Xiu was called his father's secret guard, he actually took care of all the trivial things in the palace, whether it was his father's, the palace's or hers, Mu Xiu was always so thoughtful and neat. Now that her father is missing, her younger brother is unconscious, the palace is in ruins, and she has entered a foreign country and become a proton, she is struggling, if there is anything that makes her feel that she is not alone, it is Mu Xiu's existence.

"Why are you so pale? But what's wrong with it? Mu Yunyi finally saw that something was wrong with him, although Mu Xiu had tried his best to hide it.

"Probably a little tired from traveling overnight, just rest, it's not in the way."

"It's okay, then you can go and get some rest." Mu Yunyi didn't know if Mu Xiu knew that he had gone to the Gloomy Continent, but he didn't ask, so he didn't mention it.

The two didn't say anything more, and they both "escaped" from this meeting with their own thoughts.

In the next few days, Mu Yunyi and Mu Xiu maintained this subtle "embarrassment" until half a month later, Mu Xiu took the initiative to knock on Mu Yunyi's study door.

"News just came from the West Dome." Mu Xiu hurried over.

"How?"

"General Du Feng, General Zhou Junlang and Captain Qian Yuan have been assassinated and killed one after another in recent days."

"What?!" Mu Yunyi was shocked, these three people were all the old subordinates of his father Mu Ting, and after his father disappeared, he was transferred to a small border town to guard, but the three of them were not in the same place, and now they were assassinated one after another......

"Then it should be the same group of people who did it."

"Nope." Mu Xiu shook his head: "It should be said that it is the same person." ”

"Alone?" Mu Yunyi frowned.

"Yes, from the traces of the scene, there is only one person who did it." Mu Xiu's expression was solemn, because she and Mu Yunyi both knew that these three people had been marching for many years, and they were by no means wine bags and rice bags, and now they were actually killed by a person who broke into the mansion, which was really a bit unbelievable.

"How to die?"

"Shot through the heart with a poisoned arrow."

"Who do you think it is?" Mu Yunyi looked at Mu Xiu.

"I don't have a clue yet, but it shouldn't be Mu Ling."

Mu Yunyi nodded in agreement, she and Mu Xiu quickly denied the possibility of Mu Ling's move, the three of them had been deposed to the border, there was no threat to Mu Ling, there was no need for him to do it at this time, and it was so blatant.

"Have you noticed anything else these three have in common?" Mu Xiu looked at Mu Yunyi with deep meaning.

"The three of them ......" Mu Yunyi instantly understood, and his eyes widened, "The three of them were all generals who went to Nancang that year!" ”

"That's right, so the person who did it will have something to do with Nancang?"

"Although it is highly likely, nothing is known at the moment, but in any case, let the rest of us definitely take precautions."

"I have sent someone to deliver the news, whether it is the outside guard or the people in Hyun Yin City, they must be cautious in the near future. Let's see what that person will do next, but if that person's goal is to fight against the people of Nancang, then you ...... Be careful, too. ”

"I'm in Dongzhao now, so I should be fine."

Since his father's disappearance, Mu Yunyi felt that he and the entire people related to Prince Shun's Mansion had fallen into a bottomless quagmire, no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't get out, but he was even more powerless, and his situation was getting worse and worse, and now he even had his father's old ministry ......

Referring to Nancang, Mu Yunyi remembered the war full of conspiracy.

…… A year and a half ago

Nancang has been neutral for generations and has never been involved in chaotic wars, but the border between Xiqiong and Nancang suddenly had a dispute caused by border commerce, which was not a big deal, but because of the aggressiveness and unforgiveness of the Xiqiong side, the business and trade matters rose to the diplomatic affairs of the two countries, and later the Xiqiong simply put a must-up hat on Nancang, and the Xiqiong Emperor Mu Ling immediately decided to send troops to Nancang.

When he learned that his father Mu Ting was the commander of the battle in Nancang, Mu Yunyi was leading troops in the border camp in the southeast of the West Dome.

"The battle has finally arrived."

Most people feel that Xiqiong took the initiative to provoke a war this time, and the goal was Nancang, a peaceful country that does not care about the world, and it is obvious that the Xiqiong Emperor Mu Ling finally couldn't bear to show his ability through a swallowing after a period of raising troops - this was the first war he launched since he ascended the throne.

However, Mu Yunyi knew that this expedition against Nancang was by no means so simple, especially when she got the news that just the day before, Nancang and Dongzhao had formed an alliance, which meant that Dongzhao would inevitably help Nancang in this war.

Then Mu Ling's appointment of Mu Ting as the commander-in-chief to send troops is very intriguing, although Nancang's vast land and abundant resources make it a good place to be coveted by any monarch, plus they avoid strife, it gives people the illusion that it seems to be easy to invade. But if you think about it, if Nancang is really very fragile, how can he keep peace for hundreds of years and not invade?
