The princess has super powers and space, so what's wrong with being a little arrogant?

Mu Xiyue understood after just a moment's thought. She coughed a few times before continuing, "One hundred thousand taels is a lot. Your Highness, do you want to repay us for saving your life? Actually, that's not necessary. We just took action that day. To be honest, if those men in black hadn't wanted to kill Xiao Tao and me, we wouldn't have taken action at all."

Xiao Yibai naturally knew this. "It's my fault that I have implicated you. If it weren't for your martial arts skills, you would have been killed by them. The 100,000 taels I mentioned are indeed a token of gratitude, but from now on, if Miss Mu needs me in any way, I will definitely not refuse."

Mu Xiyue smiled and said, "Your Highness, how much silver would it cost to buy a larger shop in Shangjing City? The location doesn't have to be great, as long as it's close to Dong'an Street."

Dong'an Street is the most lively and prosperous street in Shangjing City. The art gallery that Mu Xiyue wants to open does not need such a good location. As long as it becomes famous, she is not afraid of no one coming to her.

"You want to open a shop? What kind of business? If you want a shop, that's fine. I have shops on Dong'an Street and Nan'an Street. I'll pick one for you later."

As they were talking, the carriage had already stopped in front of a farm. Xiao Yibai got off the carriage first, and Mu Xiyue and Xiao Tao followed him into the farm.

Xiao Yibai introduced her, "This manor was given by the late emperor. It is leaning against a mountain wall. There is a small lake next to the mountain wall. There is a small waterfall on the mountain wall. The lake is formed by the confluence of the waterfall. The entire manor covers an area of 50 acres."

Just by listening, I know that the scenery in this villa must be very beautiful, but since I agreed to help, I won’t be able to enjoy it today.

The people who were good at disguise that Xiao Yibai mentioned were indeed amazing. To put it simply, they relied on makeup to change people's facial features. This kind of makeup technique was not uncommon in modern times, but it was considered very good in this backward ancient time.

The two men changed into the clothes Xiao Yibai had prepared in advance, and when they came out of the room they had become two elegant young men.

Xiao Yibai looked the two up and down and said, "Yes, I'm sorry to both of you pretend to be my guards."

When two female secret guards dressed as Mu Xiyue and Xiaotao came out, Mu Xiyue praised, "Not bad, although not 100% similar, at least 70%."

Xiao Yibai asked Mu Xiyue, "If we let them go back to the Marquis' Mansion, will they be discovered?"

Mu Xiyue didn't answer, but asked: "Is the time of our return uncertain?"

"Well," Xiao Yibai said, "First, after we successfully escort the witnesses and evidence into the capital, we have to send them directly to the palace. Second, we will definitely encounter assassins who want to silence us on the way, and we don't know how long the journey will take. If everything goes well, we can return to the capital before dark. If not, we may not arrive in the capital until after dark."

Mu Xiyue understood that no matter whether they arrived early or late, it would be best for them to pretend to be her and Xiaotao and go back to the Marquis' Mansion directly. This way, they would not have to come to this villa to change back after returning to Beijing.

"Okay, you two should go back to the Marquis' Mansion when it's almost dark. That way, Mu Fengnian and the others can have dinner, and you won't have to run into anyone from the Mansion. If anyone from the Mansion talks to you, just ignore them and go back to the courtyard. As long as you're aloof enough, they won't dare to talk to you. Then, once you're back in the courtyard, you can immediately climb over the wall and leave. Don't worry about anything else. No one from the Mansion would dare to bother me."

The two female secret guards nodded in agreement, "Yes, we will remember it."

Mu Xiyue thought of another question, "Do you know how to get to my yard? Also, there's a maid in my yard named Chun Ya. If she sees anything, just knock the person out."

One of the female secret guards had been there to monitor Mu Xiyue's residence for a few days after she arrived, so she was familiar with the place. However, she didn't dare to say anything, only saying that she knew Mu Xiyue's courtyard. Mu Xiyue didn't care about it. Even if she was exposed, it wouldn't matter. At most, it would cause more trouble later.

The three followed Xiao Yibai to the side of the mountain wall inside the manor. There was a cave on the mountain wall. The two secret guards led the way and walked in.

After walking for about two quarters of an hour, we came to a well-hidden cave entrance, which was covered by thick vines. There were people waiting not far away, along with a few horses.

When Mu Xiyue saw the horse, she realized that she and Xiaotao had never ridden a horse before.

"Your Majesty, we don't know how to ride horses."

Xiao Yibai was very surprised. He never thought that two people with such high martial arts skills could not ride horses. Then he thought about the information his people had found, and it seemed that Mu Xiyue and her servant did not have any horses in Mujia Village.

"It was my oversight. Miss Mu, would you mind riding with me?"

Mu Xiyue, a modern soul, doesn't have so many barriers between men and women, but there is Xiaotao.

Qi Yun scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "Well, how about I take Miss Xiaotao with me?"

Mu Xiyue looked at Xiaotao and asked her how she was. Xiaotao was quite generous and said, "Okay, thank you very much. What's your name?"

"I am Qiyun, the prince's personal bodyguard."

Seeing that Xiao Tao didn't seem reluctant, Mu Xiyue raised her hand and said, "Let's go, hurry up."

Xiao Yibai originally wanted Mu Xiyue to sit in the front, but Mu Xiyue felt it was a bit strange to do so. "Is it okay for me to sit in the back and hold your waist?"

Just think of it as riding a motorcycle in modern times, you would definitely sit at the back.

Mu Xiyue doesn't know how to ride a horse, but her posture of stepping on the stirrup to mount the horse is very standard.

A slender arm wrapped around Xiao Yibai's waist from behind, and Xiao Yibai's body stiffened. He had never been in such contact with any woman before. Mu Xiyue could feel the stiffness in Xiao Yibai's body. She patted Xiao Yibai's waist and said, "Let's go."

Xiao Tao did not sit in the back. She sat in the back and hugged Qiyun's waist. She could not hug a man. She just sat in the front and was held in Qiyun's arms. She also felt very strange. She blushed and did not dare to speak.

Xiao Yibai said, "Let's go!" The four men, along with the eight secret guards and ten horses, galloped off in one direction. Xiao Yibai tried his best to ignore the hand on his waist, his nerves tense. He hadn't been as nervous as he was now when surrounded by assassins. After running for a while, he slowly adjusted to the situation.

They arrived at a small town at noon, but no one stopped to eat. Xiao Yibai just asked the secret guard to buy a big bag of steamed buns and continued on their journey.

After passing the town, Mu Xiyue keenly felt that someone was following them. They soon arrived at a forest. The group got off the horses and walked slowly into the forest, leading the horses. The tail behind them was still following not too close.

Mu Xiyue said softly: "You go first, I'll go chop off the tail."

Xiao Yibai held her back and said, "I will go with you."

Mu Xiyue nodded and asked Xiaotao, Qiyun and the others to go together.

The two of them quickly returned. The person following them must have recognized Xiao Yibai's identity and surrounded him without saying a word.

Mu Xiyue took a quick look and saw that there were more than twenty people in total. She waved her hand and a gust of wind blew all the twenty people to the open space in front, and then she quickly threw out a few ice needles.

Those people seemed to be very agile and had good martial arts skills, but he only killed three people with a handful of ice needles.

When the ice needles shot over, several people rolled on the spot to avoid them, and several people jumped up to escape the range of the ice needles.

Mu Xiyue raised her eyebrows and said, "Oh, not bad, there's something there."

Xiao Yibai saw that these people were very skilled, and he couldn't let a woman rush in the front, so he drew the soft sword from his waist and dodged forward to swing at the people who were attacking Mu Xiyue.

These killers all had internal strength. Several of them jumped in front of Mu Xiyue and slashed at her with their palms mixed with their internal strength.

Mu Xiyue's left arm was hit by the palm wind, and her left arm suddenly felt numb and painful.

She didn't expect that anyone could hit her. She swung her right palm with the wind, and the assassin was suddenly pulled into the air by the strong wind and fell heavily down. When Xiao Yibai saw this, he quickly dodged to Mu Xiyue's side. He couldn't affect Miss Mu's performance.

The assassins were dumbfounded. What kind of kung fu was this? They even forgot to use their internal energy to resist, and perhaps their internal energy was not very effective.

After falling up and down several times, almost all the surviving assassins suffered internal injuries, and many of them vomited blood and lay on the ground unable to get up.

"Your Majesty, can you give me some more blows?"
