Looking at Tai'an from the full moon

After treatment by the white-bearded old man, Xiao Zuoming's condition has stabilized and he is out of danger.

"Fortunately, his heart is closer to the middle, so the sword didn't injure his heart meridian. Otherwise, even a Daluo Immortal wouldn't be able to save him."

The old man stroked his beard, with sweat on his cheeks.

"That's a blessing in disguise!"

Xiao Zuochen took over the conversation. After hearing this, the old man glanced at him and said.

"Your Highness Prince Yun, may we speak further?"

So Xiao Zuochen and the old man left the room first, and Chu Yao followed them out curiously. The others stayed in the room to look after Xiao Zuoming.

"Tell me, boy, is this something you did?"

The old man knew that Xiao Zuochen and Chu Yao had a good relationship, so he didn't avoid him. But Chu Yao looked at Xiao Zuochen with his eyes wide open after hearing this.

"You already knew the location of Xiao Zuoming's heart?"

Xiao Zuochen shrugged.

"I do know."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? I thought I was in big trouble and I feel so guilty!"

"You can't blame me for this. I didn't expect you to be so ruthless and push him directly in front of the sword~"

It turned out that today's assassination was planned by them, but because it was arranged temporarily, it was a bit hasty, and some small details were not arranged well, resulting in a thrilling process -

Originally, Xiao Zuoming ran to the front hall and wanted to bring back some reinforcements to save Yueying. Seeing this, Chu Yao used his lightness skills to intercept him from the side.

"Eh? Aren't you having diarrhea? Why are you..."

Before Xiao Zuoming could finish, Chu Yao grabbed his collar and flew to the "battlefield". Because the distance was short and the speed was too fast, before Xiao Zuoming could react, Chu Yao had already thrown him out. What a coincidence, the throw was so accurate...

This is also the reason why Xiao Zuoming pointed at Chu Yao before he fainted. He hated him!

"Didn't you say that you wanted him to be a hero and save the beauty?"

Chu Yao curled his lips.

"How can I save the damsel in distress if I don't get seriously injured? Luckily I threw the ball accurately, if I had thrown it in the wrong direction I might have really died~"

"You two boys, be more precise when planning something next time. After all, he is the emperor. What will you do if something really happens?"

Xiao Zuochen and Chu Yao lowered their heads, like little children admitting their mistakes.

"I'll write the prescription and give it to Yan Luo later. If something like this happens in the future, you'll have to take care of it yourself and don't bother me!"

"knew..."

Xiao Zuochen responded in a low voice, and after the old man left, the two of them started "blaming" each other again.

"Alright, alright, after Xiao Zuoming wakes up, we'll go and apologize to him."

"Oh~ Then don't forget to tell Yun Bai and Yun Qiao. They must be scared too."

"..."

The news of Xiao Zuoming being assassinated in Wangyan City soon reached Mu Dai's ears.

"What!? The emperor was assassinated right before Xiao Zuochen's eyes? What on earth is Xiao Zuochen doing?!"

Mu Dai looked at the note in his hand and paced back and forth in the tent angrily. At this time, a soldier came in from outside.

"Report!"

"speak!"

"Reporting to the commander-in-chief, the soldiers just discovered that rats had entered the granary. The military rations were not sufficient to begin with, and now it's hot in the summer, rats are more likely to enter. The soldiers all want to know..."

"What do you want to know?"

"Want to know if we are still going to fight this war?"

Mu Dai took two deep breaths to calm himself down.

The emperor is now with Prince Yun, and has no intention of returning. I don't know what Prince Yun has persuaded him to do. It is indeed a waste of money to waste 20,000 troops like this. And it is hot in summer, not to mention the soldiers, Mu Dai can't stand staying in the tent every day.

After much deliberation, Mu Dai made a decision.

"We will withdraw our troops tomorrow and start packing today!"

"Yes! Then the emperor——"

"The emperor will naturally be taken care of by someone, you don't need to worry about it."

After saying this, Mu Dai stood with his hands behind his back, as if he was thinking about something.

......

Wei Yang, who was handling affairs outside, immediately returned home after hearing the news that Xiao Zuoming had been assassinated.

"How could this happen?"

Wei Yang was puzzled. She had heard that when Xiao Zuoming was assassinated, Yueying stopped two assassins by herself, and Xiao Zuoming also shouted that there were assassins, so why didn't the guards and Yanluo in the mansion go to help him?

Wei Yang looked at Xiao Zuochen who was sitting on the left. Xiao Zuochen shrugged and said nothing. But his silence did not mean that Wei Yang did not understand.

"I don't care what you want to do, but Xiao Zuoming can't get into trouble in my house!"

"I know, it's my fault this time, I'm sorry."

Xiao Zuochen admitted his mistake directly, which made Wei Yang at a loss for what to say next. She thought Xiao Zuochen would at least make an explanation.

Wei Yang sighed and said helplessly.

"Ah Chen, if you have anything to say, you can tell me. I will definitely help you. I feel that the relationship between us is too distant now. Just like this time, I didn't know what you were going to do, but I heard about it after it happened. I hope that later..."

"Sister~"

Xiao Zuochen interrupted Wei Yang. He didn't want to listen to Wei Yang's nonsense anymore.

"I see. I'll tell you next time."

"Okay, I hope you can keep it in mind. I will handle this matter externally, but Kido will definitely not believe this. You guys take care of Kido's side."

"Ah."

"And Yue Ying, she is Emperor Mingren's person. Xiao Zuoming has now trapped Emperor Mingren's soul. If she finds out, there's no guarantee what she will do. You should be careful with her."

Xiao Zuochen and Chu Yao looked at each other and said "hmm".

"Okay, then go get busy. It doesn't sound like I'm lecturing you."

Wei Yang smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Then let's get busy first, sis."

"Ah."

Xiao Zuochen and Chu Yao left the front hall "in disgrace" and began to "blame" each other again.

"Look at what you have done. We were just taught a lesson like grandsons! If you had told me about Xiao Zuoming's situation earlier, wouldn't it have been better~"

"What does it have to do with his situation? It's because you didn't control your strength~"

Although Xiao Zuochen was wrong, he was still unhappy after being scolded by Wei Yang.

"Oh, you blame me for not being gentle? If it weren't for me, how could your plan be implemented so quickly?"

"Aren't those two assassins still my men? Would they listen to you without me?"

"Okay, okay, they are yours, all of them are yours!"

The two stood in the corner of the corridor, bickering like two childish children. Just when they were not paying attention, a woman's voice suddenly sounded in their ears.

"Whose man is that assassin?"

The two men were startled and turned their heads to look. Yueying was looking at them with a cold face.

"Ah? You, you heard it wrong!"

Chu Yao was frightened by the look in her eyes.

"Let me ask you, who does that assassin belong to?!"
