"Young Master Mu, Princess." Lord Liu looked at them, "Princess Huixin's words just now?"

"Mr. Liu is as usual. Princess Huixin has already framed me once on the cruise ship." Mu Tinglan said with a faint smile, "Master Liu is careful to investigate. Princess Huixin is waiting for Princess Huixin to apologize to me."

Lord Liu's heart moved. It seemed that Princess Huixin was stupid. "The official knows."

"Mr. Liu, since Princess Huixin said this, Lord Liu should go to the inn to ask clearly tomorrow. Lord Liu should not underestimate it and say that we, Nan Yong, protect our own people." Mu Lingheng said, "Even if it is a big deal, it doesn't matter."

Upon hearing this, Lord Liu and Gu Heng couldn't help looking at Mu Lingheng. If Mu Lingheng had to worry about Mu Tinglan's reputation in the past, he would have tried to deal with the matter in a low-key manner, but this time he didn't expect to come in a high-profile manner. Is this annoyed?

It must be that I had something unpleasant on the cruise ship.

Gu Heng thought in his heart.

Just as I was about to say something, but before I could speak, a group of men in black actually rushed over from the river, and the people still on the shore suddenly screamed and dispersed everywhere.

Gu Heng was also shocked and subconsciously pulled Mu Tinglan behind him to protect him. Mu Lingheng was the same. He stood with Gu Heng to protect Mu Tinglan behind him. The officers and soldiers on the side also reacted immediately and quickly surrounded and protected several people, including Lord Liu, and took a step back.

Mu Tinglan stood behind Gu Heng and looked at him with some surprise. Gu Heng reacted quickly, and even protected her faster than Mu Lingheng. Her eyes flashed slightly, but she didn't know what she was thinking in her heart.

The men in black didn't speak as soon as they got ashore and rushed towards them.

Although there were also patrol battalions who came here today, because people were sent to protect the Second Prince and others back, there were really not many people who stayed there. Suddenly, the two sides were entangled, the sound of swords and swords colliding with each other and the shouts of the crowd.

There were only five men in black in total, but they were very good at it, and Wei Ying was not bad at all. However, the people from Chengtian Mansion and the people left behind the patrol battalion were actually inferior to them. Seeing this, Mu Lingheng snatched the big sword from the officers and soldiers who were protecting them around and went up to meet them.

Mu Lingheng's legs had already been improved, but his martial arts had not yet returned to his peak, but it was still possible to face these men in black.

Mu Tinglan stood beside Lord Liu, frowned and looked at the situation in front of her. Unexpectedly, there would be such a group of assassins waiting for them, "Hei Qi." Mu Tinglan shouted.

As soon as he finished speaking, a black figure flashed out of the darkness and then attacked the man in black with a sword. Hei Qi is a secret guard, but the kung fu moves he learned are similar to Mu Lingheng. They are all the tricks to kill enemies and win. This trick is only for killing people, so it is naturally very fierce. However, there is still a difference between the two. Mu Lingheng's moves are not ruthless enough than Hei Qi.

However, with these two major helps, Wei Ying and the officers and soldiers were under much less pressure, and the men in black gradually showed signs of defeat.

Mu Tinglan thought that these people would retreat immediately when they saw that they were defeated, but she did not expect that one of them would break free from the entanglement between Wei Ying and the officers and soldiers and came directly towards them.

Are these people coming for her or Gu Heng?

Such doubts surged in my heart, but Mu Tinglan did not stand there. She pushed Gu Heng away, who was still blocking the front, raised her hand, and if she looked carefully, there would be a few cold silver needles between her fingers. Mu Tinglan swung them, and the silver needles shot towards the man in black.

The man in black did not expect Mu Tinglan to do this. Although he reacted very quickly, he raised the knife in his hand to block it. With a few "ding" sounds, the silver needle fell to the ground, but one of them still pierced directly into the flesh of the man in black. Unfortunately, it just stabbed the man in black's arm.

But even this made the man in black pause for a while. Mu Tinglan took advantage of the fact that he had not yet reacted, and then came to the man in black and slashed at the man in black.

Mu Tinglan has always been practicing martial arts, but she is the guards in the general's mansion, either Mu Lingheng or people in the Lan Mansion, but they are somewhat worried about being hurt, so they will not do their best. So although she often practices martial arts, her growth is relatively not very fast, and the appearance of this man in black is a good opportunity. Although she may not be able to hide the martial arts matters, to be honest, she did not want to hide it all the time, which was meaningless.

After Mu Tinglan threw out those silver needles, the man in black knew that Mu Tinglan would not be the kind of person who was powerless, but he would never think Mu Tinglan would be a master, so he did feel contemptuous at the beginning, but after a few moves, he did not dare to be careless.

Mu Tinglan's martial arts skills are not as good as Mu Lingheng, which is absolutely true, but they are not much weaker.

Lord Liu and Gu Heng stood behind and looked at Mu Tinglan and the man in black for a moment. This feeling was hard to explain. Lord Liu was very surprised. After sighing, he also sighed that Mu Tinglan was so hiding so deeply. What happened to Mu Tinglan before because of the assassin, fear, fear, etc.?

If you have such martial arts, you shouldn’t be afraid no matter how you say it?

Oh, by the way, he seemed to have forgotten. At the beginning, Mu Tinglan went to save Mu Lingheng alone. Although outsiders only knew that Mu Tinglan blocked Mu Lingheng's knife, he knew that Mu Tinglan also killed someone.

Thinking of this, Lord Liu felt that he was a little fussy.

Gu Heng is better. He knew that Mu Tinglan was Lan Muting, and Lan Muting had few opportunities to show his kung fu. Before, he had witnessed Mu Tinglan suppressing a man with one hand and unable to move.

But to be honest, Mu Tinglan's military power was beyond his expectations.

Soon, Mu Tinglan solved the man in black. This was not something Mu Tinglan really got with her strength. After all, her silver needle was still covered with anesthesia powder, but this was amazing enough.

"Princess, are you okay?" Gu Heng walked over quickly and asked.

Mu Tinglan moved a lot and was in a good mood. She threw the knife in her hand over and returned it to the officer and soldier just now, and then said, "Of course it's okay, I'm fine."

Gu Heng nodded, and he really realized that he was not only good, but also in a good mood.

Lord Liu also came over, "The princess is worthy of being the princess. General Mu and the major general must be very pleased." He said, "But the princess should give this kind of thing to others in the future." If she is accidentally injured, what will happen? The unlucky ones are these people.

Mu Tinglan actually understood what Lord Liu was thinking strangely, smiled slightly, and said, "I only do things that are certain." If she is not sure, she would not be so stupid as to rush forward.

While speaking, several other men in black were also controlled. Seeing that the officers and soldiers had suppressed the men in black, Hei Qi turned around and hid in the dark again. Mu Lingheng took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood splashed on his hands, then walked towards Mu Tinglan, "Are you okay, Nannan?"

"It's okay. Where is brother?"

"It seems that martial arts are still a little unfamiliar, but it will be much better to act like this." Mu Lingheng shook his head, smiled gently, and said.

Lord Liu... It turns out that he has been on the battlefield, and his confidence is different.

"Mr. Liu, these people may be together with the previous assassins. Since they have come to the door by themselves, Lord Liu must interrogate them carefully." Mu Tinglan said to Lord Liu, "In addition, why do I think that the assassin's target just now is Lord Gu, Lord Liu, Lord Gu might as well start from this aspect?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Heng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Does Mu Tinglan still want to blame the third prince for the assassination? But that's true. The second prince and the fifth prince were both injured, but the third prince who was with them had nothing to do. Although Bei'an and the others were fine, it would be OK if they wanted to make a fuss about it.

Lord Liu's eyes flashed slightly, "I understand, the official."

Anyway, it is always good to have a direction, so of course, you have to interrogate these assassins first.

Later, Mu Lingheng and Mu Tinglan were sent back to the General's Mansion, but as soon as they arrived at the General's Mansion, they received an unexpected news that something happened in the palace.

In the front hall of the General's Mansion, General Mu had received the news that Mu Lingheng and his friends were assassinated. However, in fact, there were also a group of assassins in General Mu's yard today, so General Mu guessed that most of the assassins came to the General's Mansion.

"Has my grandfather been assassinated?" Mu Tinglan frowned and temporarily put the affairs in the palace aside. She looked General Mu worriedly, and felt relieved when she saw that General Mu was really fine.

"Grandfather is fine, those grandfathers don't see them much." General Mu said with a smile, "These assassins are probably for Ah Heng's affairs, but they are a little different." After all, taking action at this time will only make people more suspicious of the truth about Mu Lingheng's injury before.

Mu Tinglan and Mu Lingheng naturally thought of this, "Is it just to confuse the audience?"

I know they might be suspicious, so I sent someone to assassinate?

General Mu shook his head, "Let's check again." He said, "There is also an accident in the palace. Who is it targeting and what is it for? I can only wait for the investigation results."

"But how could it be Concubine De and Concubine Hui?" Mu Tinglan said, "Last time I looked at it, Concubine De and Concubine Hui seemed to have joined forces."

"It's true that we have joined forces. The accident happened this time, which was around Concubine Hui and Concubine De. The news from the palace was that the palace maids around Concubine Hui and the eunuchs in Concubine De's bedroom were in Yuqing Palace." General Mu said, "As for that person, the situation seems to be not very good. He has injuries on his body and his tongue was cut off. The other two identified Concubine Yu."

Appoint Concubine Yu?

Mu Lingheng and Mu Tinglan were both surprised, "Concubine De and Concubine Hui wanted to plot against Concubine Yu, but they didn't expect to get themselves in?" Mu Lingheng said, "What's the result?"

"Concubine Yu did leave Liuyun Palace once at night, but Concubine Yu did not go to Yuqing Palace, but to Qingyun Palace. Not only the Tenth Princess can prove it, but the guards guarded by Zhangyu Palace and several eunuchs can also prove that they had seen Concubine Yu appear in Zhangyu Palace before, so Concubine Yu could not appear in Yuqing Palace at that time." General Mu said.

Mu Tinglan slight eyebrows and subconsciously stroked her fingers. It was Concubine Yu again. Concubine Yu is considered a bad year this year, but has Concubine Yu really not been to Yuqing Palace? The Tenth Princess? When did Concubine Yu have had contact with the Tenth Princess? All this seems to be very reasonable, but Mu Tinglan knew that there were things they didn't know about.

"What are Nannan thinking?" General Mu asked.

"Nothing," Mu Tinglan looked up, "Grandfather, we must be prepared for the people tonight, no matter whether they are targeting us or not."

General Mu and Mu Lingheng looked at her in confusion, "What does Nannan mean?" The person behind him is about to take action? "Is there something happening recently?" General Mu naturally refers to the matter in his previous life.

In the previous life, from the time this granddaughter returned to the General's Mansion to the end of the general's mansion, it seemed that it only took three years for her granddaughter to be murdered. They all knew that someone would deal with the General's Mansion, and that some things would be known in advance, but the one who knew the most was also the granddaughter. She had never told them many things.

For example, something with Chu Ran.

They knew that Mu Tinglan might not say it because they were afraid that they would be angry and sad, so they did not ask too much. Even after realizing this later, they did not ask.

"I think the matter between Xue Yanran and Chu Ran today is not that simple." Mu Tinglan was silent for a while and said, although Xue Yanran and Chu Ran had such a thing in their previous life, the time was not up to date. Of course, they must have been the last and most powerful of them, but they were the same way. The marriage between Xue Yanran and Chu Ran was not gone. That means that the Duke's Mansion would definitely be more inclined to the third prince. "I noticed the expression of the second prince before, and Xue Yanran was probably trying to plot against the second prince today."

Upon hearing this, General Mu and Mu Lingheng were both a little surprised. After looking at each other, General Mu frowned and asked, "In the end, the Xue family was with Chu Ran. Is Nannan worried about the Duke's Mansion?" Judging from the behavior and attitude of Princess Xinyang and Chu Ran during this period, Chu Ran is indeed close to the third prince, but the attitude of King Xinyang is a little unclear.

"It's not that I'm worried, the Duke's Mansion is just a fence-bearer." Mu Tinglan said, "It's just a matter of getting started sooner or later. It would be fine if I just had something outside, but something happened in the palace."

"Nannan is worried that the fight for the position of princes between the princes is directly on the surface?" Mu Lingheng said, "Concubine De and Concubine Hui should have cooperated, and they want to deal with Concubine Yu. The fifth prince was also injured today, and the fifth prince could not do nothing." Even if the fifth prince did nothing, Concubine Yu would do something.

Not everyone can endure such losses.

Mu Tinglan nodded, "And the visit of the envoys of the four countries is not without purpose."

General Mu also knew about this. Yuxi Kingdom can be temporarily ruled out. After all, Yuxi Kingdom is different from them, and the internal affairs of Yuxi rarely involve other countries. However, the three countries of Wuzhen and Western Chu also face various problems.

The current emperor of Wuzhen Kingdom has only been in power for ten years, and there is no dispute over the throne or the prince. However, there is a Xiaoyao King. General Mu knew that Xiaoyao King was not interested in that position, but the Wuzhen Kingdom did not think so. The Wuzhen Kingdom Emperor regarded Xiaoyao King as a competitor like other brothers when he was a prince. It is really because Xiaoyao King is too powerful and has heavy troops in his hand. It would be strange if the Wuzhen Kingdom Emperor was not afraid of it.

Moreover, the death of Princess Xiaoyao and Princess Xiaoyao's Mansion seemed to have some relationship with the royal family of Wuzhen Kingdom.

Therefore, the grudge between Emperor Wuzhen Kingdom and King Xiaoyao may not be resolved. King De'an came to Nanyong personally and had plans to find a partner to deal with King Xiaoyao together. This partner can be from Nanyong or from Western Chu in the north.

The situation in the North and West Chu is similar to that in Nanyong. The North King is old now, but the North King has not yet established a crown prince. The court in the North King is naturally anxious. Even if Bei'an does not come to Nanyong, he will be other brothers of Bei'anruo. The so-called marriage is naturally a cooperation. The most important candidate is the second prince and the others. Although Princess Qianqian is not a member of the royal family, she is also the daughter of the grandson of Bei'anruo's grandfather family, and her status is enough.

As for Western Chu, Western Chu is now a relative who interferes in politics. The Emperor of Western Chu is still young now, and the Empress Dowager is in charge of the government behind the curtain. The relative who is in charge of the court now looks the Emperor of Western Chu, but in fact, the Emperor of Western Chu is just a puppet emperor. If it weren't for the fact that there was a national teacher Ruoshui, it would probably be the surname of the Empress Dowager of Western Chu now.

However, it was beyond the expectations of many people that the National Master Ruoshui would come here in person. Wouldn't he be afraid of what the Empress Dowager Xi Chu and the others did to the Emperor Xi Chu when he was away?

Naturally, only Master Ruoshui himself knew this.

Under such a bad situation, the borders of various countries are not very calm. All countries have their own troubles at home, but they still have the ambition to become stronger.

Emperor Jiaxuan didn’t have such thoughts? It’s just that Nan Yong encountered a major disaster ten years ago, and was energetic. This year, such a major natural disaster occurred. Although the whole country generously donated money to overcome difficulties, it still had a great impact. So Emperor Jiaxuan understood that now is not the time to think about those things. The most important thing for Nan Yong is to recuperate and to work hard to restore the fundamentals of the country is the most important thing.

"Today, Bei'an Ruo and the second prince seem to have close contacts." Mu Lingheng thought for a while and said, "And the National Master Ruoshui and the Fifth Prince also seemed to have reached some kind of agreement. However, Princess Huixin, the Wuzhen Kingdom, seemed to have an intention toward the third prince."

From this point of view, except for Yuxi Country, it seems that everyone has found a partner to cooperate with.

Mu Tinglan smiled slightly, "Brother, you only noticed that Princess Huixin was interested in the third prince, but Princess Qianqian's eyes at the third prince are also a little different."

Mu Lingheng was stunned. Is that true? "I didn't notice it." He couldn't pay attention to these things.

"Nannan, will Princess Huixin and Princess Qianqian be with the third prince?" General Mu looked at Mu Tinglan and asked.

Shaking her head, Mu Tinglan said, "Only Huixin is the only one." This is true in her previous life. In order to be with the third prince, Princess Huixin killed Princess Qianqian. But in the end, I don't know why the third prince seemed to have cooperated with the northern border. Many of this life have changed, so she is not sure whether she will follow the script of her previous life.

But such an answer is enough to make General Mu and Mu Lingheng think a lot.

"No matter what, if they fight, it will be beneficial for us." Mu Lingheng said, "It's easy to catch fish in the muddy water."
