Chapter 779: Who Are Those Assassins?

Then Mu Zhi looked at Qianye again and found that Qianye was looking at him with a curious, even doubtful look.

"Who is this?" Mu Zhi said to Qianye, smiled slightly at Qianye, and seemed to have noticed something in his heart in an instant.

"A child I brought back four years ago, Qianye, please sit down!" Mu Jin said to Qianye who was standing behind him.

Before Qianye could reach out to pull out the stool, a eunuch came up and respectfully pulled out the stool for Qianye.

Chiba glanced at the eunuch unaccustomedly, and then sat down restrainedly.

Mu Zhi looked at Qianye's face with his eyes. There was nothing special about him, and he didn't understand why Mu Jin wanted to bring Qianye here.

"Qianye has never been to Nanyue Kingdom, and has never entered the palace, so this time I brought Qianye privately. The emperor shouldn't mind, right?" After sitting down, Mu Jin caressed her gently and embroidered with silver thread. Made of sleeves, Feng Qingyun said calmly.

Mu Zhi curled his lips and smiled. Since Mu Jin dared to bring Qianye over, she had naturally made plans to escape.

Chiba looked at the exquisite dishes in front of him, even the plates on which they were served were very exquisite and expensive, and his eyes widened.

Mu Jin and Mu Zhi exchanged brief greetings, and then Fu Lu led the other palace servants out.

The moment the mahogany door closed, Mu Zhi gently put down the chopsticks in his hand, and the smile on his face slowly disappeared from the corners of his lips.

Before Mu Zhi could speak, Mu Jin took the lead and said, "Last night, assassins broke into Jiangnan Courtyard. Does the Emperor know about it?"

"Really? By coincidence, the palace was also assassinated last night!" Mu Zhi said coldly.

Chiba sat aside and watched the two of them only drink a few sips of tea without even moving their chopsticks, feeling worried.

She was not hungry, she just felt that it would be a pity not to eat the food on the table.

"Does the emperor suspect that this young master sent an assassin into the palace to assassinate you?" Mu Jin smiled lightly, rubbing the pattern on the tea cup with her slender hands, her words were neither gentle nor gentle, but they revealed a kind of power: "If I If the young master wants to kill the emperor, he should do it when the emperor leaves Jiangnan Courtyard. If he does it at that time, the emperor will definitely have no way to survive. What do you think, emperor?"

Mu Zhi looked at Mu Jin, looking at Mu Jin's pair of dark eyes as deep as a deep well. The corners of his vermilion lips seemed to be smeared with rouge. When they were smeared with the fragrant tea, the color of their lips became more and more vivid. .

If you take off this silver mask, I don’t know what kind of face it will look like, bringing disaster to the country and the people!

They should be somewhat similar to him. After all, they are cousins. Where is the blood connection?

"I also know that the young master will not do such a stupid thing, but the assassins last night were very good in martial arts, and the hidden weapons they used were something I have never seen before. Not only that, they were able to steal from the palace. Leave safely, young master, who do you think sent these assassins?"

"This is also the reason why my young master came to the banquet. Does the emperor have any clues?" Mu Jin pursed her lower lip lightly. The tea specially provided by the palace was different after all. It was so refreshing in the mouth.

With two simple words, Mu Jin kicked the question back unchanged.

He knew very well that Mu Zhi set up this banquet just to find out whether the assassin was sent by him.

But the current situation is that Mu Zhi has not completely given up his suspicion on him!

"Qingming Waterside Pavilion is a place that specializes in collecting intelligence. Is it true that the young master has no information at all? I thought that after such a long time, the young master must be able to find out something!" Mu Zhi said half teasingly. asked probingly.

"As far as I know, these assassins entered the palace and Jiangnan Academy in two groups on the same night to assassinate. With their martial arts and skills, if they hide their identities, it will be very easy for them to succeed in the assassination. However, they chose the most direct method, that is, to go in directly. When they encountered obstruction, they retreated completely so that no one could trace them. If they really wanted to assassinate, Does it seem too showy?" Mu Jin analyzed it carefully.

"Then the young master means that these assassins are not here to kill?" Both of them have the same hot spots.

Assassins' martial arts are very high. If they were to force their way into an ordinary place, their martial arts would definitely be more than enough. However, the Imperial Palace and Jiangnan Courtyard are definitely heavily guarded places. If they want to force their way through, no matter how high their martial arts are, there will only be a dozen or so people. , it is impossible to fight all the way to his bedroom.

Mu Jin shook his head: "I don't know the purpose of those people. I only know that their behavior is really weird and hard to figure out. Why are they the palace and Jiangnan Courtyard? And not other places?"

Mu Jin looked at Mu Zhi meaningfully and said.

Mu Zhi Yaoxie's eyebrows seemed to have fallen into Mu Jin's abyss for a moment.

I contacted someone at once, and this person was Wei Yuanwei.

Because the Imperial Palace and Jiangnan Courtyard are where Wei Iris hangs out.

Are those people here for Wei Yuanwei?

Mu Zhi's expression seemed to change again, but then quickly returned to normal: "Is it possible that someone knows that I and you, young master, have secretly made a deal, so they want to use this assassin matter to make us mutually exclusive?" Create doubts and gaps?”

This can be explained, but if it were him, even if he wanted to sow discord, he would never use such a powerful force.

Mu Jin turned to look at Qianye on the side: "You can eat whatever you want!"

When Qianye heard Mu Jin's words, her troubled little face finally showed a look of relief, followed by shallow pear dimples on her cheeks.

Anyway, Chiba couldn't understand what they were saying at all, and all her attention was on the exquisite dishes on the table.

Mu Jin knew that Qianye was not a foodie, but that she had developed an extremely paranoid obsessive-compulsive disorder since she experienced the famine when she was twelve years old.

That is to never waste a grain of rice or a vegetable, and eat all the vegetables, otherwise you will feel very uncomfortable, as if you will be punished by God if you waste a grain of rice.

"As long as the emperor doesn't think that this young master wants to kill the emperor, it will be fine. After all, the emperor holds what I want in his hands!" Mu Jinxie tugged at the corner of his lips, and a coquettish poppy bloomed quietly on his lips. .

Wei Yuanwei and Su Er were by his side, and now he just wanted to know who was helping Mu Zhi behind the scenes!

Mu Zhi lowered his eyes. He didn't dare to believe Mu Jin's words. Who knew if he and Wei Yuanwei knew each other? If they did, the things he held in his hands would have no effect at all.

And the mysterious man hasn't told him yet whether he stopped Wei Yuanwei and Mu Jin from recognizing each other!
