Chapter 24: Killed
With Xiao Ziluo by his side, .com Xingse hurriedly returned to Zuiyun Tower, Mu Yan looked at the surprised eyes of the eldest baby when she looked at her, hurriedly strode over, and asked softly: "Are you Brother Qi here?" ”
Shaking her head in confusion, Dawa cautiously glanced at Xiao Ziluo behind Mu Yan, and said defensively: "I just went out, I don't know when I will come back." ”
Nodding silently, Mu Yan was about to walk out the door. When he walked to the door, he stopped as if he remembered something, looked back at the big baby who was still standing in place with a defensive face, and ordered: "If they come back, ask them to go to Brother Ping to find me." ”
He and Xiao Ziluo walked non-stop towards the mansion located on the edge of the capital, and as soon as Mu Yan approached, he found Phantom Yin Feng and Ling Hongran guarding the door with gloomy expressions. Remembering that these two people are Pingfan's henchmen, since they are here, Pingfan should also be here, right?
Deliberately slowing down, Mu Yan coughed softly. Then, under the hot gaze of the two Phantom Winds, Mu Yan walked over with a smile and entered the courtyard with a calm face. And Xiao Ziluo followed her without saying a word, keeping an eye on her whereabouts all the time.
Walking slowly into the spacious backyard, as soon as Mu Yan appeared, he was almost crushed to the ground by Xiao Bai, who suddenly pounced.
"You brute ......" helplessly dodged Xiaobai's approach, Mu Yan smiled bitterly and laughed with it, then squatted down and patted Xiaobai's soft hair soothingly. Then raising his head and looking at the others who had come out because of hearing Xiaobai's restless voice, Mu Yan smiled and stood up.
"Yan'er." Calling Mu Yan's name, Leng Yan'er walked to Mu Yan's side with an anxious face, looked at Mu Yan's smiling eyes, and asked uneasily, "Where have you been these days?" Hei Chu and I have almost searched all over the capital, and there is no trace of you. ”
"It's just house arrest." Sneering and mocking himself, Mu Yan glanced at Xiao Ziluo beside him meaningfully, and then glanced at Ordinary Ruizhu and the others. said softly: "Brother Ping, wait for me to find you something, you can wait for me in the study." Yan'er, you and I come into the house, I have something to ask you. ”
Tong Muyan walked into the room, Leng Yan'er looked up and down, Xiao Ziluo, who she had been caring about since the beginning. Frowning, Leng Yan'er asked coldly, "Yan'er, is he?" ”
"The person sent by the emperor to spy on me." Unabashedly telling Xiao Ziluo's identity, Mu Yan chuckled and sat down at the table, and unscrupulously discussed the affairs of the past few days with Leng Yan'er. "Has there been any progress in the few days I've been away?"
"This ......" Listening to Mu Yan's question, the expression on Leng Yan'er's face began to change. lowered her head with flickering eyes, and was silent for a long time, Leng Yan'er finally mustered up the courage and told Mu Yan the truth. "Feng Xiaoling's three subordinates were assassinated."
"What?!" Stunned, Mu Yan looked at Leng Yan'er in disbelief. Seeing the expression on Leng Yan'er's face that didn't look like he was joking, Mu Yan slowly came back to his senses. "When is it?"
"On the night you disappeared."
Killed...... Was it the work of a mole?
Turning his head, Mu Yan silently looked at Xiao Ziluo with a scrutinizing gaze. Knowing what Mu Yan was suspicious of, Xiao Ziluo took the initiative to shake his head and said, "It's not our people. If the emperor really wanted to kill, he would have done it a long time ago. Don't have to wait until now. ”
With a cold snort, Mu Yan withdrew the gaze that fell on Xiao Ziluo. Continue to ask Leng Yan'er about what happened. "Who was keeping vigil that night?"
"Lingyin and Yaxuan, the two of them are still lying on the bed now. According to the two of them, there were three Assassins that night. At the same time, take action and deal with three men in different rooms. It's so hot now, and we can't keep the body, and we don't know when you'll be back, so we have to deal with it beforehand. He Mu Yan confided in a low tone, and Leng Yan'er's expression revealed anger and uneasiness. This matter must be related to the inner ghost, otherwise how could the killer know the location of the three so clearly? ”
killed Feng Xiaoling's three subordinates, but did not move Feng Xiaoling. Why?
Closing his eyes, Mu Yan thought hard about this matter. The night he disappeared was spent in Xia Yifeng's bedroom. And most of Xia Yifeng's time that day was also with himself. Although he also went out for a while at night, if he really wanted to do it that day, the target should be Murong Zixuan. Mu Yan did not forget that Xia Yifeng's gloomy expression and eyes because of Murong Zixuan that day.
Could it be that it was Murong Zixuan's hand?
Silently clenched his fists, and Mu Yan didn't mention it anymore. just comforted Leng Yan'er softly, "Anyway, it's a useless waste, just kill it." Then he asked Yin Mengyuan about her condition. After learning that Yin Mengyuan was still as crazy as ever, Mu Yan stood up and looked at Xiao Ziluo.
Standing there quietly, Mu Yan looked at Xiao Ziluo without saying a word. Time passed minute by minute, and just when Xiao Ziluo was already uncomfortable being stared at by Mu Yan, Mu Yan finally spoke. "I'm going to take two people into the palace, I wonder if Lord Xiao can allow it?"
Mu Yan's address to himself made the corners of Xiao Ziluo's mouth twitch. After thinking about it, Xiao Ziluo responded: "The emperor only said that I should protect Niangniang's side, and did not ask for other things. If Niangniang really wanted to take someone back to the palace, Ziluo didn't have anything to say. ”
"Okay, with your words, it's enough." Nodding and smiling with satisfaction, Mu Yan told Leng Yan'er to pack up his things, and when Qi Heichu came back, he would enter the palace with him.
Mu Yan didn't know how long she would stay in the palace, and she didn't know when she would be able to find out the truth of the matter. Just looking at the current development of things, Xia Yifeng didn't mean to allow himself to leave the palace. Therefore, Mu Yan could only transfer his position from here to the palace. The huge palace, although it seems to be calm now, Mu Yan has vaguely seen the uneasiness in the future.
Although Xia Yifeng has now ascended the throne, what about the other heirs of the former emperor? Mu Yan would not be stupid to think that Xia Yuanfeng only had two sons, Xia Yifeng and Xia Mingyi. The more you look at the docile things, the more ferocious they usually are, and those with horns do not eat meat. This is a truth that Mu Yan has known for a long time. If there is chaos in the palace, the first thing Mu Yan will do is to keep himself and his two children safe. So bringing a few more trustworthy people around is not a bad person. If he really wanted to investigate Murong Zixuan, Mu Yan would have to pass Xia Yifeng's consent before he could leave the palace. And every time you come out of the palace, you have to discuss with Leng Yan'er in advance, which is too wasteful of time.
"Yan'er, I'm going to discuss something with Pingfan. You pack it up first. Walking towards the door, Mu Yan suddenly turned his head and looked at Xiao Ziluo seriously. said: "As for Yin Mengkite, let's take it back with us." I think it's almost time for Xia Yifeng to use her, right?! ”
