"assassin?"

Chen Mu frowned with dark eyebrows and looked at his sister-in-law Qingluo next to him. "Did you meet an assassin in Fenghua City?"

Qingluo nodded, then shook her head: "Actually, it's not considered an assassin."

She told the story about that day.

It turned out that the prefect of Fenghua City belonged to the Qingliu faction in the court, and he hated the court hawks such as the Western Factory of Mingwei.

After Bai Xianyu, who was the Suzaku envoy, came to Fenghua City, the other party ignored it at all.

Later, Bai Xianyu visited the door and wanted to learn more about the situation in Tiandesity Valley from the prefect to make a better response, but in the end, some disputes arose due to political reasons.

When leaving, a young man wanted to assassinate Bai Xianyu, but was easily taken down.

After investigation, it was discovered that the young man was the son of an official in the capital. His father was executed by the family of the Mingwei for violating the law.

The official's son escaped by luck and hid in Fenghua City.

After hearing that the Suzaku envoy came to Fenghua City, driven by hatred, the man sneaked into the prefect for assassination.

But after all, it is an ordinary person, and he is caught before he even pulls out the knife.

At that time, Bai Xianyu also carefully investigated the other party's motive for assassination. After confirming that it was just a revenge, he ignored it and handed it over to the prefect.

After all, she has experienced many things like assassination.

In Da Yan, there are countless enemies who hate her to the core, but none of them are close to her.

After listening to the story of my sister-in-law, Chen Mu fell into deep thought.

This assassin incident looked ordinary and nothing unusual, but when you think about it carefully, it felt a bit weird.

"Have you encountered other assassins?" Chen Mu asked.

Qingluo shook her head repeatedly: "No, after we left the prefect, we went to Tianming Valley. We didn't meet other assassins in the middle."

Chen Mu looked at the other gourd monsters: "What about you, have you discovered anything?"

The third son of Hulu said: "I asked some people, how many people had met Mrs. Gui, but that's all. If you want to say something strange, there is really nothing."

In addition to the second brothers, the other brothers also nodded one after another.

Chen Mu looked at the gourd dick who had been silent: "Looking at your appearance, you must have discovered something."

Hulu Lao Er hugged his hands on his chest and said lightly: "Actually, I haven't gained much here. There is one thing that is strange. Mr. Chen said before that there are four people around Mrs. Gui, so there are five people in total, right?"

Chen Mu nodded.

Beside my wife are Qingluo, Su Qiaoer, Mangaya and Mo Hanshuang.

Although the Queen Mother was equipped with master guards when Bai Xianyu set out, these guards would not follow after arriving in Fenghua City.

So only the wife and the other four went to Tiandesity Valley.

Hulu Lao Er said: "But in the process of asking some people, many people said that they were a group of six."

"Hey, right."

At this time, the fourth Hulu also slapped his head suddenly and said in surprise. "I didn't care at that time. Now, when I think about it, a few people were answering my questions, they all said that they saw six of them heading in any direction."

After recalling the other gourd brothers, they also agreed.

Chen Mu frowned and turned his eyes to Qingluo: "Who else is with you, the guards of Zhuquetang?"

However, Qingluo looked confused.

When he heard his brother-in-law's question, he shook his little head and said, "It's impossible. At that time, there were five of us, how could there be six of us? When we boarded the boat, we were also five of us."

As he said that, Qingluo also counted on Yu Congxian's fingers and said, "I, sister, Qiaoer, Sister Kashyapa, Senior Mo... There are only five of us, no guards to follow us."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the room became weird.

Everyone looked at each other.

The parties involved said there were five, but others seemed to have six.

Why is there one more person?

If a person sees it, it can be considered dazzled, but now many people have seen it, it is impossible that they are dazzled.

this……

A chill climbed up everyone's backs.

Chen Mu tried hard to suppress his anxiety and asked the Brothers of Huluqi: "Apart from my wife and others, is the extra man or woman?"

"I don't know."

The fourth brother of Hulu spread his hands. "I didn't care at that time. Now my second brother remembered this when he reminded me. Why don't we go and inquire again?"

"It's a woman!"

The one who opened his mouth was still the second child.

He said with a bright look: "I was careful during the inquiry process and asked those people specifically, and they all said that they did not see men among the noble lady and her group."

"How is that woman?" Chen Mu asked.

But this time the gourd second brother smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I don't have any impression."

"Don't remember?"

"Yes, I asked those people that although they were covered with veils, they could roughly describe the tall and shortness of the noble lady, but they could not describe the extra woman. They said they had no impression of it, and they couldn't even remember it, and they only knew it was a woman."

"This is too mysterious."

Chen Mu was unable to use his thinking to judge what the reason was hidden in it.

Thinking about the fact that there are more companions around me, only others can see them, but my group of people are unaware of them.

It's so fucking thrilling.

Especially even masters like Mo Hanshuang could not sense it.

Qingluo's cute round face turned slightly white, and she hugged Chen Mu's arm again: "Sister... brother-in-law... is there something dirty that has entangled us..."

Chen Mu said angrily: "You are not even afraid of demons, but you are still afraid of that thing."

"The demon is different from this. Brother-in-law, aren't you afraid too?"

"I'm afraid of a hammer."

Chen Mu smiled, but the look of a ghost bride appeared in his mind, and he subconsciously shivered.

Damn, why are there so many Apiao recently?

However, compared to the ghost bride, the lady is indeed a bit bizarre and terrifying.

"No, I have to go to Fenghua City to inquire."

Chen Mu hesitated and decided to investigate Fenghua City carefully. As for the tasks assigned by the goddess, he would put them aside first.

Now that he has recovered his freedom, and when the "thing from the sky" is revived, the woman has the ability to catch him back.

As for the magic that the other party used to him before, Chen Mu was too lazy to delve into what it was.

"Are we going with you too?" Qingluo asked.

Chen Mu looked at Wucai Luo who was unconscious on the bed, and after a brief plan in his mind, he shook his head gently: "Forget it, you'll stay here. I always feel that going to Fenghua City is even more dangerous."

"Brother-in-law, I want to follow"

"obedient!"

Chen Mu glared at his eyes, and the little girl had to lower her head in a depressed state.

Chen Mu said to the Gourd Seven Demons: "Do you still remember the things your grandfather told me? Do it now, and you must protect them. If you can go back safely this time, I promise to let you meet the old man."

When the seven demons of the gourd heard this, their eyes lit up and they patted their chests to assure them.

"Don't worry, Lord Chen, we must protect Xiaoluo and the others."

...

After arranging the matter, Chen Mu went to Fenghua City.

Before leaving, he went to talk to Miss Yan'er.

This place has been monitored. As long as he leaves, the other party can detect it at the first time. He simply goes to say hello directly, and may find something in the other party's words.

"Don't worry, Lord Chen, go investigate, I will take care of them."

When she heard that Chen Mu was going to Fenghua City to inquire, Miss Yan'er was not too surprised, but she was a little disappointed.

"Do your master have anything to say to me?" Chen Mu asked.

Miss Yan'er gently shook the moth: "If Master, if he has any explanation, he will tell me, mainly..."

The woman seemed to have something to hide. Her transparent jade-colored soft skin was attached to her rose-like pink dizziness. She bit her lip lightly and whispered. "It's mainly because of some reasons... that Master wants to marry me this morning."

Um?

Chen Mu looked surprised: "Why?"
