"Mu Nanqi!"

The sudden change made Song Zhi scream. The guard driving the car was very professional and instantly switched to defensive mode to block the remaining arrows.

The guard put his finger to his mouth, a short whistle sounded, and a group of secret guards gathered around.

At the same time, a large group of black-clad assassins also rushed over.

I didn't check the almanac before going out. What's going on? I was assassinated before I could even say a few words.

Who should she turn to for justice? As God knows, these killers have nothing to do with her this time.

Song Zhi was very worried about Mu Nanqi's safety, and ran towards the carriage without thinking.

Jump into the car, lift the curtain, and get in.

The whole action was done smoothly and in one go. By the time she reacted, she and Mu Nanqi were already face to face, staring at each other.

The two of them were very close. If she had rushed in with more force, she might have kissed him.

It was too late for Song Zhi to regret. If she had known earlier, she would have been more radical. She had wasted such a good opportunity. She touched her nose in annoyance.

Unlike her sigh of regret, Mu Nanqi's face was terribly gloomy.

He sat there intact, with all the arrows that had been shot at him scattered aside.

"Um... I'm glad you're okay."

Song Zhi suppressed her expression and stepped back. She was so concerned that she even forgot that this man had unfathomable martial arts skills.

"go out."

A cold voice without any warmth was heard.

Song Zhi's face froze as she heard the clanging sounds of fighting outside. Swords and knives have no eyes. If she went out now, how could she survive? What if she got hurt accidentally? She wasn't a fool.

With so many secret guards protecting it, this carriage should be the safest place around now.

Living a new life, she cherishes her life very much.

"I won't go down."

Mu Nanqi's eyes were dark, with strong emotions swirling in them, as if he was going to slap her out with a palm in the next moment.

Song Zhi's heart skipped a beat. "Calm down, don't get excited and let me analyze it for you."

"Look, these assassins are clearly coming for you. I'm an innocent and fragile girl. Is it because of you that I've suffered this unprovoked disaster? Do you have to be responsible for me?"

Mu Nanqi said: "I didn't ask you to stop the car here and harass me."

The implication is that she brought this disaster upon herself.

"Cough cough..."

Song Zhi coughed unnaturally twice, "You can't say that. Even if I'm not the Prime Minister's daughter now, I'm still the daughter of an assistant minister. If I die tragically near your carriage for no reason, you won't be able to escape responsibility and have a hard time explaining yourself!"

"So, I'm not going down here entirely for your own good."

Song Zhi spoke sincerely, with a friendly light shining in his eyes.

She thought she was right no matter what, and her back straightened a lot after she finished speaking.

Mu Nanqi stopped talking and just looked at her deeply, as if he wanted to see through her.

Song Zhi felt uneasy when he was stared at, but fortunately the battle outside the carriage was nearing its end.

Just when Song Zhi thought everything was over, a black-clad assassin, under the cover of his companions, desperately approached the carriage, suddenly lifted the curtain and rushed in.

Song Zhi was huddled at the car door. He was shocked when he saw this. Without thinking, he pulled Mu Nanqi behind him to block in front of him.

The inexplicable change of positions made Mu Nanqi look confused for a moment.

However, he reacted quickly, stretched out his hand and grabbed the assassin's neck and twisted it. The assassin immediately collapsed and died.

Song Zhi clapped in admiration from behind, "Aqi is so strong, Aqi is really amazing."

Mu Nanqi didn't buy it, and a dangerous light flashed in his eyes, "You want me to block the sword for you?"

Song Zhi also knew that his behavior just now was very immoral, so he flattered her even more: "Think about it on the bright side. What if this is my recognition of your strength?"

Mu Nanqi frowned and raised his palm to take action.

Song Zhi quickly said, "Look at you, why do you get so angry so easily? Let me analyze it for you. Your martial arts are so good, and I'm not. If I stand in your way, I'll only die. I did this because I knew you would be safe. Don't bother with these details. Look how heroic you were just now."

Mu Nanqi didn't answer, but pinched her wrist with a stern look in his eyes, "You know I know martial arts."

Not a question, but a statement.

Song Zhi was stunned for a moment, then remembered that Mu Nanqi had not yet revealed his martial arts skills at this stage, and immediately felt a little guilty.

"Well, for example, I mean, for example, if I tell you that I learned about this incident by accident, I wonder if you would believe it?"

Of course Mu Nanqi didn't believe it. No one in the world knew about this except his confidants.

He looked deeply at Song Zhi, and Song Zhi shrank his neck guiltily.

She really wanted to tell him everything about her past life, but it was hard to convince people by telling such bizarre things.

"Mu Nanqi, a deceased monk once read my fortune and said that you and I were in love in our past life but missed each other, so we are destined to be entangled in this life. That's why I approached you to rekindle our past relationship. Didn't you check me out? Why don't you trust the ability of your subordinates?"

Speaking of this, Mu Nanqi snorted. He did check on Song Zhi.

Not only Song Zhi, he checked the entire Song family one by one.

The Song family really no longer supports Mu Qinghan. Not only that, they even take advantage of the situation and intend to add insult to injury.

Moreover, Mu Qinghan got married yesterday, and they risked falling out with the prince's party.

Even every move Song Zhi deployed was aimed at tripping up Mu Qinghan.

If Mu Qinghan really just asked her to put on a show for him, then the commotion and cost would be too great.

"I want to hear the truth. How did you know that I know martial arts?"

Song Zhi also knew that if he didn't explain the whole thing today, it would be difficult to end it, so he simply threw the can down and said, "Okay, I won't pretend anymore, let's be honest. I was actually reborn, and the reason I know you know martial arts is because I saw you fight in your previous life."

In order to make the story of rebirth more convincing, she wanted to elaborate on it.

Unexpectedly, Mu Nanqi's eyes darkened and he increased the strength in his hands. "Miss Song doesn't seem to want to tell the truth."

"It hurts."

In this world, no one believes the truth anymore.

"Then...was it that high monk who told me this in a dream?"

"Miss Song, do you think I'm a fool?"

Song Zhi's anger suddenly rose. "I've been asking you questions, but you still don't believe me. Come on, stop torturing me and just kill me."

She closed her eyes, hardened her heart, and walked forward with her neck stiffened, as if she wanted him to kill her.

The moment the woman came closer, a sweet breath blew past his face. Mu Nanqi's fingers stiffened for a moment, and he let go of her without leaving a trace and took a step away.

He looked at Song Zhi for a long time, so long that the secret guards outside had already dealt with the assassin and cleaned up all traces and asked him whether he should continue to return to the palace.
