Chapter 188 Assassination
"it is good."
The two men answered at the same time.
Shen Shen led the two of them towards the jewelry display cabinet, and did not forget to turn back and blink at Zhu Yanxiao, who was standing there with a face as dark as ink.
Before the selection started, Zhou Yunxi suddenly came to Zhou Yiran's side and said coldly, "Have you finished talking to Changan? I have been waiting for a long time. I will go back to the mansion with my elder sister."
"Ah? Elder sister...this..." Zhou Yiran looked at Shen Shenshen reluctantly and asked her for help.
Shen Shenshen seemed not to notice Mr. Zhou's request for help, and was enthusiastically discussing with Mu Yejun which hairpin was the best looking.
When Zhou Yunxi saw the couple choosing jewelry, he snorted coldly from inside his hat: "Hmph! A pair of bastards."
As a martial artist, Mu Yejun had excellent hearing. When he heard Zhou Yunxi's murmur, he immediately raised his head and stared at Zhou Yunxi, his handsome face full of hostility.
As if remembering how cruel this man was, Zhou Yunxi secretly pursed her lips, not daring to say more. She vented her anger on the servant behind Zhou Yiran, growling, "What are you standing there for? Take the fourth young master with you and go back to the mansion."
The servant tremblingly pulled Zhou Yiran's arm and dragged him away forcibly.
"Hey, Changan, walk slowly!"
Shen Shenshen waved goodbye to them with a smile, completely ignoring Zhou Yiran's pitiful look.
After watching the two leave, Mu Yejun smiled and said to Shen Shenshen: "This Miss Zhou seems to dislike this young master and Shen Shen very much."
"Huai Bi, how could she like us?" Shen Shenshen shrugged indifferently and teased, "Miss Zhou only likes Master Zhu." As she said that, she turned her gaze back to the jewelry display cabinet.
Zhu Yanxiao saw that after sending away one clingy person, the most difficult one was left. He looked at the water clock and saw that it was already 4:40 in the afternoon. He walked over and said to Shen Shenshen, "Today's first day of opening has gone very smoothly. It's time for lunch. Let's go to Zuiyue Tower."
Mu Yejun said bluntly: "I remember Shenshen often went to Zuiyue Tower. How about going to Piaoxiang Tower with me for dinner?"
"Piaoxianglou?" Shen Shen looked at him.
"The wine shop in the Duke's Mansion. How is it?"
Before Shen Shenshen could answer, Zhu Yanxiao spoke first.
"Mr. Mu Ye, Miss Shen is this prince's wife-to-be."
"So what?" Mu Yejun looked at Zhu Yanxiao at this time, showing a gentle and jade-like appearance, but what he said made people blush and heartbeat even more, "This young master also knows that you two are already husband and wife."
Shen Shen's heart tightened, and her cheeks flushed immediately. She looked up at Mu Yejun's handsome face, and said awkwardly, "Huai, Huai, Huai, Bi... But, but, don't say anything nonsense... No, no, no, there is something."
Zhu Yanxiao looked at Shen Shenshen's useless appearance, and suddenly felt amused. The corners of his lips curled up unconsciously: "Second Master Mu is really observant."
Shen Shenshen didn't expect Zhu Yanxiao to admit it directly. She immediately lowered her head, a little embarrassed. She didn't care whether they had sex before or after marriage, but two men discussed this issue in front of her, no matter how thick-skinned she was, she felt a little embarrassed.
Seeing Shen Shen blushing and lowering her head, Mu Yejun misunderstood and thought that she felt a little sorry for him. He felt warm in his heart and said with a smile: "Shen Shen, it's okay. I don't care whether you are a virgin or not."
"Huh?" Shen Shenshen raised his head in an instant. No, people in your time and space are so open-minded? !
Unable to continue this topic, Shen Shen immediately interrupted Zhu Yanxiao who was about to speak and said, "Ziyuan, Huaibi, let's go to Zuiyue Tower for dinner today. Tomorrow at noon, Huaibi will wait for me and Ziyuan at Piaoxiang Tower. How about that?"
Zhu Yanxiao didn't say anything.
Mu Yejun said nothing.
Neither of them wanted to dine with the other.
Shen Shenshen has been very tired recently and has been sleep deprived to the extreme. He was busy with the opening of He Silver House during the day, and was tormented by Zhu Yanxiao every night so that he couldn't rest. That's why he came up with such a thoughtless suggestion of having lunch together. Now that the two of them were silent, he reacted, rolled his eyes, and changed the subject.
"Today the three of us must have lunch together. This lady has something to discuss with the two gentlemen." After saying this, she went straight to Zuiyue Tower without waiting for the two men to reply.
Zhu Yanxiao and Mu Yejun looked at each other and immediately turned their heads away. They both saw the dislike and wariness in each other's eyes.
Bi, the shopkeeper of Zuiyuelou, was a middle-aged man in his thirties, lean and nimble. After the servant announced that Prince Zhu had arrived, he immediately ran out from the back hall to pay his respects, half bowed, and led the three people to sit in an elegant pavilion on the second floor, where lush trees could be seen from the window.
Zhu Yanxiao didn't say much and told Manager Bi to prepare lunch. After the middle-aged man took the order and left, Shen Shenshen immediately took the opportunity to speak.
"Huai Bi, the dancing woman in white asked me to meet her at Ziyun Tea House, ten miles away from the capital, at midnight tomorrow. She was to tell me who was trying to kill me. I didn't expect that you would follow that woman before I told you about it."
Mu Yejun looked at her with a smile, without commenting, "Ziyun Tea House...hasn't been open for a long time. It really chose a good place, surrounded by mountains and forests, it's very easy to attack this young master."
"That teahouse is closed?"
"Well, it's true that it hasn't been operated for a long time." Zhu Yanxiao, who had been silent, spoke.
Shen Shen then told Zhu Yanxiao the information that Mu Yejun had obtained by following the woman in white.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door. Shopkeeper Bi came to deliver lunch respectfully. After setting it up, Zhu Yanxiao ordered that no one should disturb her without his permission. Then, in the elegant pavilion, a beautiful woman ate freely and casually. The men not only did not think it was inappropriate, but also kept putting food into her bowl.
Just as the three were having their meal, something strange happened!
A man in black instantly broke through the exquisitely carved wooden bars of the elegant pavilion's window, and rushed over like a ghost, holding a sharp long dagger in his hand, with a fierce momentum, aiming directly at Mu Yejun.
In a flash, a trace of vigilance flashed in Mu Yejun's eyes. He suddenly turned his body to quickly avoid the fatal blow. At the same time, the chopsticks in his hand shot out like lightning and hit the wrist of the man in black, causing the sharp blade in his hand to almost fly out of his hand.
At the same time, Zhu Yanxiao stood up, blocked Shen Shenshen with his body, and uttered a syllable. In just a few breaths, Xingyun, Liushui and several Feidao guards flashed in from outside the house and the window. Two guard leaders stood in front of the prince, and the others were about to step forward to fight with the man in black.
"Wait a minute." Zhu Yanxiao said, "Just protect the Crown Prince's Consort."
The Feidao guards who were rushing forward immediately stopped their actions and retreated to the side of the Crown Prince and Miss Shen Er, remaining vigilant.
Having only seen fighting scenes in movies and TV dramas before, Shen Shenshen, who was watching the 'live broadcast' today, was inexplicably excited and stuck half of his head out to watch Mu Yejun fighting with the man in black.
Mu Yejun flipped his wrist, grabbed a chopstick used by Shen Shenshen on the table and threw it out quickly. The chopstick turned into a stream of light and shot into the thigh of the man in black. He screamed and fell backwards. Hearing this, Mu Yejun's heart sank. He immediately stretched out a hand to grab the man in black's arm, and used one hand to force the five knuckles tightly. The man in black was startled and ignored the pain in his thigh. He swung his other hand with a sharp blade to chop at Mu Yejun's wrist. Mu Yejun let go to avoid the blade. Without clamping, the man in black took this opportunity to turn over and jump out of the broken window and fled in a hurry.
"Second Master Mu, it seems that the other party can't wait to deal with you." Zhu Yanxiao said in a deep voice, looking at the direction where the man in black left.
Mu Yejun frowned, as if there was a mystery in his heart that had not yet been solved.
Shen Shen had been watching the two fighting, and asked tentatively: "Does Huaibi know that man in black?"
The eyes of the second son Mu, who had a high ponytail, flickered for a moment, and when he looked at Shen Shen, he was calm: "Shen Shen, you think too much, I don't know this man in black."
Seeing the mess in the house and the ruined lunch, Zhu Yanxiao said in a deep voice, "Xingyun, call the shopkeeper." He then ordered Liushui and the others, "Go down."
"Yes." The guards left in a moment.
There was a knock on the door. "Prince," said the shopkeeper Bi.
"Enter."
The shopkeeper entered the room with lingering fear, and without looking away, he bowed to Zhu Yanxiao and said, "Excuse me, my lord, what do you want me to do?"
"Manager Bi, are there any other vacant Accords?" Zhu Yanxiao asked calmly.
"My Lord, there is another room, but it has no windows. I wonder if you are satisfied with it."
Zhu Yanxiao did not answer Shopkeeper Bi's words, but gently said to the woman sitting beside him: "God, turn around."
Then his voice dropped to freezing point.
"Xingyun, kill him."
