Chapter 217: Misfortune Leads to the East

Looking at it, Meng Qing also became excited, she held Chen Mu's sleeve and whispered.

"I'll come on stage and dance for you in a moment!"

When Chen Mu heard Meng Qing say this, he was stunned for a moment, and then came back to his senses.

He shook his head with a smile and said in a low voice.

"If you don't succeed today, you're going to be in danger, you know."

"Stay by my side obediently first, if something happens, someone will protect you."

Meng Qing pursed her lips when she heard Chen Mu say this.

She nodded a little disappointed, then picked herself up again and looked into the middle of the field.

Halfway through the song and dance, Urila turned her head and glanced in Chen Mu's direction.

Chen Mu nodded quietly, and the eye contact between the two did not attract the attention of anyone in the audience.

In the midst of the joyful music that came to mind, there was an extremely low clanging sound that suddenly sounded, as if someone had played a tune by mistake.

And at the moment when the sound sounded, a dancer who was surrounded in the middle suddenly jumped up, raised the long sword in her hand, and stabbed straight in the direction of Chen Mu!

Everyone present exclaimed, and even a minister close to Chen Mu jumped up, intending to pounce in Chen Mu's direction, blocking this blow for Chen Mu!

However, just as all the guards rushed in to stop the assassin, a rebuke suddenly rang out.

A roll of spirit whips was swung out, and it firmly wrapped around the dancing girl's wrist, and then the spirit whip pulled hard!

The dancing girl exclaimed, and the spirit whip in her hand fell.

She staggered and nearly fell to the ground.

Meng Qing jumped out of the table, raised the long whip in his hand and continued to attack in the direction of the dancing girl.

Chen Mu was stunned when he saw this, and he immediately frowned.

It was too reckless, he didn't dare to delay, and immediately turned his head and shouted at those guards, asking people to step forward as soon as possible.

The guards reacted quickly, but in the blink of an eye, they ran in front of the dancing girl, and took the dancing girl with their swords.

And the dancing girl saw that the matter was revealed, and she was powerless, so she raised her sleeves and hit Chen Mu with the hidden weapon in her hand.

Fortunately, some guards reacted quickly, raised their swords to block, and blocked all the hidden weapons that the dancing girl had hit.

Everyone present exclaimed in surprise, and when the dancing girl was completely restrained and had no ability to move, then the minister spoke beside him.

"It's dangerous, it's too dangerous, it's really inappropriate to hold a palace banquet today......"

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, there are many changes in Beijing today, and there are constantly people hiding behind the scenes, ready to move, intending to do something to you."

"You held a palace banquet today, so you shouldn't invite these sword-wielding dancing girls into the palace!"

Several ministers gathered in the audience and bowed their hands to Chen Mu, intending to make Chen Muyu retreat from those sword-wielding dancing girls.

When Chen Mu heard the minister say this, he frowned, and stared in the direction of the sword-wielding dancing girls.

There is some truth to what these ministers say, but he has other intentions in doing so.

In today's uncertain situation between the DPRK and China, whether it is those male candidates who have failed the list, or those corrupt official families who have been purged, there are remnants of forces hiding in the shadows.

When the remnants heard about today's events, they were bound to take action.

Chen Mu sighed and patted his chest in horror.

He stood up in shock and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

He frowned, nodded repeatedly, waved his hand, and retired the dancer standing on the top of the hall, leaving only the dancer who had just assassinated him.

Chen Mu took a step forward and asked in front of everyone.

"I ask you, who are you? Who sent you? Were you planning to assassinate me? ”

The dancing girl was quite angry when she heard Chen Mu say this.

She sneered, a slight sinister look appeared in her eyes, and she only scolded angrily.

"It's you who killed you!"

"Do you think I'll tell you who I am, and who sent me?"

"Even if it's torture on me, or a sword that kills me! I can't even tell you! ”

"You are the prince in vain, you think you are honest and honest, and you have arrested those corrupt officials in Beijing, but in fact, how many innocent people have been involved?"

"Just some time ago, people from the Wu family, the Shang family, and the Zhao family were arrested and put in prison because of your overreaction."

"If someone hadn't found out everything later, I'm afraid that another family in our capital would have died in your hands!"

These words were sonorous and powerful, and the people of the Wu family, the Zhao family, and the monk family who were standing behind the hall were so frightened that they trembled and fell to the ground one after another.

When Chen Mu saw the woman say this, he raised his eyebrows, he sneered and spoke.

"I have eliminated those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and this is also because I have obtained enough evidence, and they have also become court officials in vain."

"If there are those who have been wronged, I will let them go, just like the three families."

"As for you...... Using this excuse to assassinate Prince Ben, do you think you are a righteous man? ”

"In my opinion, I'm afraid that you were not instructed by a certain force to assassinate this prince, since the matter did not work out, you will tell this rumor to confuse people's hearts!"

After saying this, everyone present looked at each other.

They looked intently in the direction of the woman, just as Chen Mu was about to step forward again to ask who the woman was instructed by.

In the field, a suspicious voice suddenly remembered.

"Wait, this woman...... I looked a little familiar, she looked like ...... Like a maid in Lord Zhao's mansion......"

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone present was stunned, and immediately someone looked up in the direction of Uncle Zhao.

Lord Zhao was so frightened that he shuddered, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he fell to his knees with a thud.

He glanced up in the direction of the Assassin, and was about to retort to the man's words when they suddenly realized that something was wrong.

The Assassin...... That assassin is really a subordinate of their house!

What's going on here?

That Lord Zhao trembled and raised his head to meet Chen Mu's gaze, and he explained in a panic.

"Prince...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...... I don't know what's going on, this girl...... Although this maid is indeed from our house, I have never supported him in doing such a thing. ”

"In my opinion, this incident is that someone deliberately caused trouble to the east and wanted to bring the disaster to our Zhao family."

As soon as Master Zhao said this, the two Zhao family members beside him also knelt down one after another, looking terrified.

When Chen Mu heard Master Zhao say this, he sneered.

"This is a man from your house, and who can be instructed by whom?"

"In my opinion, you are just using strong words, and now that you can be sure that this assassin is from your house, then ......"

When Chen Mu said this, his eyes were cold, and he didn't delay any longer, and immediately shouted.

Many guards stepped forward to surround the Zhao family and dragged the Zhao family out of the hall.

Everyone looked at each other and was silent.

When the maid noticed that Chen Mu was looking in her direction, she stepped forward on her knees and said angrily.
