My lady, I'm going to rebel.

Lin Nan almost laughed out of anger.

Did Mu Zheng really think he was scared? He actually asked him to apologize to Gong Wen? What a joke!

Qi Yuxiu also felt a headache. She had finally put the matter to rest, but why was Mu Zheng still so persistent? Gong Wen's innocence could be investigated later. Why fight it out now?

"Miss Qi, if Guard Lin can't produce any evidence and is accusing us of something, then I doubt he's even qualified to be your clan's top guard. We should simply ask Lord Li to judge the case tomorrow. After all, he's a member of the imperial court and presumably has more experience in solving cases."

This is a threat.

Qi Yuxiu was extremely angry. "It's fine if you're threatening Lin Nan, but you've even included her in this." But seeing Mu Zheng's uncompromising attitude, she took a deep breath and silently said, "Don't be angry, don't be angry, just treat it as a monkey fart." Then she quickly adjusted her expression and looked at Lin Nan: "What did Guard Lin say?"

Damn it!

Lin Nan became even angrier.

I finally set up a trap, but in the end I didn't get any candy and ended up getting myself covered in sticky stuff.

"I have some thoughts. Although Gong Wen appeared at the crime scene, he should be cooperating with the investigation as a case assistant. Miss Qi, please let him go for now."

Mu Zheng curled his lips: "Since you know you are wrong, then apologize!"

Uh!

Lin Nan's eyes were about to burst into flames. He then looked at Qi Yuxiu beside him, who seemed to have not heard anything and just stood there silently without saying a word.

"What? Do you really want to alarm Lord Li Zhong?" Mu Zheng asked.

"I'm sorry!" Lin Nan said through gritted teeth.

"Attitude!" Mu Zheng was very unhappy.

Lin Nan glared at Mu Zheng angrily, and Mu Zheng snorted, "Don't want to? Forget it!"

After saying that, he raised his foot and was about to leave!

"sorry!"

These three words were shouted out, with obvious anger, but he had to pretend to be sincere.

"Very good!" Mu Zheng patted Gong Wen's shoulder and said, "Someone has wronged you today. Let's go!"

Gong Wen looked back at Lin Nan, then at Jiang Xiaobai's house, and reluctantly followed Mu Zheng's footsteps.

On the way back, Gong Wen was still grieving over Qian'er's death, "Brother Mu!"

Mu Zheng looked at Gong Wen.

"Although Jiang Xiaobai is dead, he is definitely not the main messenger."

Mu Zheng naturally understood what Gong Wen meant. He patted Gong Wen's shoulder heavily and said, "Don't worry, no matter if it's Teng Qin or Lin Nan, I will never let him go!"

……

Qian'er's death was like a wisp of dust. Except for a few people who still kept it in their hearts, no one talked about it after dawn.

Standing at the entrance to the villa, Mu Zheng watched the convoy slowly approach. The road was crowded with people, mostly women.

"That's Lord Li Zhong, right? He's so majestic and imposing."

"Hey, I heard that not only Lord Li is here this time, but Young Master Lian is here too."

"Yes, I came here specifically to see him. It's rare to see a deity like him."

After hearing the conversation between the two women and looking at their demeanor and expressions, Mu Zheng felt as if he was seeing two star-chasers.

Is Li Lian pretty?

Mu Zheng touched his chin. He was actually not bad. Why didn’t he see these women coming to watch him?

Just as I was thinking about it, the carriage had arrived at the door of the villa.

Qi Yuxiu and Lin Nan stood on both sides of the carriage. The person in the carriage lifted the curtain and said something to Qi Yuxiu. Then Qi Yuxiu looked towards the carriage and waved his hand. Immediately, a team of warriors surrounded the carriage.

The scene is like security guards are already on standby before the stars even leave the airport.

Of course, it was not Qi Yuxiu's fault for doing this, because many women had already gathered around the carriage, chattering and discussing Li Lian's beauty.

Yes, I'm talking about beauty.

Mu Zheng just listened casually and heard that Li Lian was more beautiful than a woman.

Mu Zheng curled his lips. No matter how beautiful he was, could he be more beautiful than the sinister boy band from the neighboring country in his previous life?

Mu Zheng was about to leave when he saw Qi Yuxiu waving at him. As he approached, he heard her ask, "Are you here to see Master Lian too?"

Uh……

Mu Zheng really wanted to leave.

What's going on for him, a grown man, to visit another man?

Seeing the smile in Qi Yuxiu's eyes, Mu Zheng knew that this woman was playing a trick on him. He bent his index finger and tapped Qi Yuxiu's forehead: "Naughty!"

moment.

Qi Yuxiu was stunned, and Mu Zheng also felt embarrassed.

He actually treated Qi Yuxiu like this in public, which seemed like he was teasing her.

Lin Nan, who was standing by, saw the two people's little movements, and his hand holding the sword couldn't stop shaking.

He couldn't say he liked Qi Yuxiu, but he had long considered her his own. Now, seeing her chatting and laughing with another man, and the other man was Mu Zheng, his heart was burning with anger.

He swore that he would make this man bleed in the competition arena, preferably stabbing him seventeen or eighteen times, letting him die slowly in despair.

"Wow, Young Master Lian is out!"

Just as Mu Zheng and Qi Yuxiu were trying to figure out how to ease the awkwardness, the crowd began to riot. Mu Zheng quickly pretended to be curious and looked towards the sedan door, only to see a handsome young man standing before him.

He wore a white jade crown on his head, a mutton-fat jade belt around his waist, a white robe, and a gold belt. He had a high nose, deep eyes, and smooth skin. His handsome face, as if carved from jade, had distinct features, and with a faint dimple, he was truly handsome.

However, Mu Zheng's attention was more focused on Li Zhong.

This man carried an air of military might, and walked with great vigor. Although it was just a quick glance, Mu Zheng seemed to see the majestic aura of this fierce general fighting on the battlefield.

"Brother Mu, my father will host a dinner to entertain Lord Li today. Please come with me."

"what?"

Mu Zheng looked at Qi Yuxiu. The Black Clan was holding a banquet, but this young lady invited him to go with them. Could it be that the brain explosion just now aroused her girlish heart?

Oh, no, I am a married man and I must remain faithful to Yunniang.

Mu Zheng's mind was full of associations, and he heard Qi Yuxiu say, "Because Lin Nan will be there the whole time."

Well, he was overthinking it.

Qi Yuxiu wanted Mu Zheng to become familiar to Li Zhong so that Lin Nan wouldn't take the lead.

"Okay, I'll go back and get some sleep. Lin Nan gave me a lot of trouble last night." Mu Zheng stretched and agreed.

……

This sleep is good.

Comfortable!

It was not until Qi Yuxiu sent someone to knock on the door that Mu Zheng reluctantly rolled out of bed.

"You even prepared clothes for me?" Seeing the tray in the hands of the person who came, Mu Zheng couldn't help but admire Qi Yuxiu's attentiveness.

After all, the clothes he wore were very ordinary. It was okay to go to the racecourse and meet farmers, since everyone was dressed similarly anyway, but it was still a bit low-class to meet Li Zhong.

The banquet was held in the Black Clan's reception room. There were two seats at the front, presumably for Qi Xiao and Li Zhong. Ten seats were set up on either side, arranged from front to back according to status.

Mu Zheng was not qualified to attend this internal banquet, but because of Qi Yuxiu's invitation, he was assigned to her side.

Looking around, Teng Qin was sitting at the front on the right. Lin Nan, as a guard, was also seated, but he was standing and working.

"Why don't I see Li Lian?"

Mu Zheng asked Qi Yuxiu, and Qi Yuxiu replied softly, "He doesn't like crowds."

Uh.

Ok.

Mu Zheng pursed his lips and turned around to see Lin Nan looking at him.

Mu Zheng saw the corners of his mouth twitching slightly and his eyes full of resentment, and immediately understood what was going on. He smiled slightly, picked up the wine glass, and deliberately took a sip: Tsk.

Boy, this is reality, I sit and you stand!

I'll eat, you watch!
