Mu Xiyue moved quickly. As soon as her horse stopped, she stood up directly on its back. Before the assassins could get close, she swung her sword, and the group of assassins rushing in front were immediately cut by the wind blades. Several of them were directly cut in half by the wind blades. The assassins had never seen such powerful martial arts before, and they unconsciously took a few steps back.

Just as Qiyun was about to dismount, Xiaotao had already jumped off the horse. She rushed forward and attacked with the wind blade.

Xiao Tao's wind ability is only level two, so the damage of her wind blade is naturally lower. Her wind blade cannot cut a person in two, but it is enough to kill or seriously injure a person.

Mu Xiyue and Xiaotao cooperated with each other. Mu Xiyue used her wind power to trap people, and Xiaotao used wind blades to kill people.

There were killers who wanted to rush out from the side, but Xiao Yibai and Qi Yun were not pushovers either. It was not difficult for them to deal with one or two who slipped through the net.

In less than ten minutes, forty or fifty assassins were all dead. The secret guards in the distance were stunned. Was this the end? The two men's fighting skills were too high. I wonder if the prince could invite them to be their instructors. They wouldn't need to be taught to such a perverted level. Just being half as strong as them would be enough.

The team continued to move forward. The closer they got to Shangjing City, the more assassins there were. Less than five miles away from Shangjing City, there were nearly a hundred people besieging them. These people who besieged them were not very good at martial arts. It was estimated that they had run out of masters to send.

The human wave tactics are also not worth mentioning in the face of absolute strength. Xiao Tao enjoyed the fight very much along the way, and her wind ability was used more smoothly.

When they arrived at the city gate, it was already dark and the gate was closed. Qi Yun stepped forward and took out the token. The guards at the gate immediately opened the gate and let them in when they saw that it was Prince Jin and his party.

Although it was safe after entering the city, everyone still did not dare to let down their guard until they sent the witness to the palace gate.

At this time, the palace gate was locked. Xiao Yibai personally stepped forward and said a few words to the guards guarding the palace gate. One of the guards turned around and ran towards the palace.

About a quarter of an hour later, the guards came back and invited Xiao Yibai and his party into the palace.

Xiao Yibai walked over to Mu Xiyue and whispered softly, "Thank you for today. I'll have someone take you two back to the palace to wash up and change clothes before going back. If you need a shop, you can come to the palace to find me anytime."

Although Mu Xiyue and Xiaotao both used wind powers for ranged attacks, they were inevitably splattered with blood, which smelled unpleasant. If they returned to the Marquis's residence like this, it would be a disaster if they were seen. Besides, Chun Ya was still in the courtyard. Thinking that the two female secret guards should have already returned to the Marquis's residence on their behalf, they went to Prince Jin's residence to clean up.

Xiao Yibai asked the secret guards to take Mu Xiyue and her servant back to the palace first, and then gave the secret guards some instructions before taking them into the palace.

Mu Xiyue and Xiaotao took a bath and had dinner in Prince Jin's Mansion. The palace steward then sent a carriage to take them back to the Marquis' Mansion.

The carriage stopped in the alley behind the mansion. Mu Xiyue and Xiaotao climbed over the wall. From this point on, they were just outside her yard. Fortunately, her yard was remote, and no one would be there at this time.

Back in the yard, Chun Ya hadn't rested yet. She ran out of the house when she heard the sound.

"Miss, where have you and Sister Xiaotao been? The master came to look for you just now, and I said you were tired from playing today and had already rested, so the master didn't come into the house."

It was strange that Mu Fengnian came to see her in person.

Mu Xiyue asked, "When did the master come here?"

"It wasn't even an incense stick's time since you and Sister Xiaotao returned to the courtyard when I went into the house to look for you. I didn't dare let the master know you were gone, so I said you had gone to bed."

Mu Xiyue nodded, "Okay, I understand, you go and rest."

The next day, Mu Xiyue thought Mu Fengnian would come to see her, but she didn't see him until the afternoon. It was not until after dinner that a servant came to find her and said that Mu Fengnian asked her to go to the study.

Mu Xiyue was very curious about what Mu Fengnian was going to do next, so she followed the servant to Mu Fengnian's study.

When Mu Fengnian saw Mu Xiyue coming in, he poured a cup of tea and pushed it in front of her.

"Yue'er, sit down. Did you have fun hanging out with Prince Jin yesterday?"

Mu Xiyue sat down. Did Mu Fengnian become interested after seeing Xiao Yibai invite him to go out and play?

She sat down without any hesitation, picked up the tea bowl and took a few sips before answering calmly, "Not bad, what advice do you have, father?"

Mu Fengnian said with a cheerful smile, "Prince Jin has never had any private contact with other noble ladies. If you can win the favor of Prince Jin, it will be your blessing."

Ha, blessing? Mu Xiyue sneered. Mu Fengnian thought that she could marry Prince Jin and started to pay attention to her daughter.

Mu Fengnian ignored the mockery in Mu Xiyue's eyes and continued, "Did anything happen between you and Prince Jin today?"

Mu Xiyue narrowed her eyes and looked up at Mu Fengnian, "What is father referring to?"

When she arrived at Prince Jin's mansion yesterday, the two female secret guards who had disguised themselves as her and Xiao Tao told her what had happened. The female secret guards and the person who had disguised themselves as Xiao Yibai were in the manor all day, and the people who were following them couldn't enter the manor, so no one outside knew what was going on in the manor.

Then the two female secret guards took the prince's carriage back to the marquis' mansion, while the person who disguised himself as Xiao Yibai stayed at the farm.

The female secret guard made her way back to the mansion without incident. After entering, she only encountered two servants, who avoided her at first sight. Arriving at Mu Xiyue's courtyard, the female secret guard had already quickly slipped back into the room when Chun Ya came out to greet her. As soon as Chun Ya left, the two of them flew out of the mansion. It was a very smooth journey.

So did Mu Fengnian know something, or did he suspect something, or did he want to find out something from her?

Seeing that Mu Xiyue looked a little unhappy, Mu Fengnian explained, "I'm just asking. Prince Jin has been busy with official duties these days, so it's rare for him to take the time to accompany you on an outing."

Mu Xiyue drank the tea in the cup and was very puzzled when she saw Mu Fengnian suddenly smile triumphantly.

"Father, do you think that Prince Jin and I went out for a day and something happened between us that shouldn't have happened? I can still marry into Prince Jin's mansion in the future, and you can be considered close to the royal family."

Mu Xiyue didn't know that Mu Fengnian had already sided with Prince Rui. Mu Fengnian smiled and said, "How could your father miss you so much? But Yue'er, if you can capture Prince Jin's heart, your father will be happy for you."

Mu Xiyue was too lazy to say more to him. She stood up and was about to leave when she suddenly felt a stomachache.

Mu Fengnian took out a porcelain bottle from his arms and pushed it across the table.

"Yue'er, is your stomach cramping and unable to use your internal energy? This is the antidote to relieve it."

Mu Xiyue's eyes narrowed as she glanced at the empty tea bowl. "You poisoned me?"

She secretly used healing magic to relieve the pain in her lower abdomen. She didn't expect that this so-called biological father would poison her. She sat down again to see what he wanted to do.

Mu Fengnian raised his chin towards the porcelain bottle and said, "Take the antidote first. I feel bad for you to endure the pain like this."

Mu Xiyue took the porcelain bottle. There was only an antidote in it. She was not afraid that the antidote was fake. Mu Fengnian did this just to control her.
