A feeling of despair surged in Mu Jingrui's heart.
It's true that plans can't keep up with changes.
If Mu Jingyan hadn't suddenly appeared tonight, he wouldn't have been captured by these people.
He secretly gathered his true energy in his palm, even if he died here, the person who killed him would be buried with him. Unfortunately...
Before Mu Jingrui could finish his thought, a gust of palm wind came and blew away the man in black beside him.
He felt his body lighten and someone lifted him up.
In an instant, a strong sword energy surrounded him, and he was helped by another person to climb over the wall.
Many men in black reacted quickly and chased after them immediately.
Several fire bombs were thrown over and exploded on the spot. Some of the men in black were killed, some were injured, and only a few escaped unscathed.
When the smoke cleared, there was no trace of Mu Jingrui.
"My Lord, what should we do now?"
The leading man in black looked at Mu Jingrui's disappearing figure, and became furious and humiliated.
He raised his hand and slapped his subordinate on the face, angrily scolding: "Ask, ask, ask, and still ask? Chase him! As long as Mu Jingrui is not dead, he will be a great worry for the master."
After saying that, he took out a firework from his arms and shot it into the sky, then summoned all the secret guards to search the whole city for Mu Jingrui's whereabouts.
The sky was slightly bright, the sun was rising, and the first ray of morning sunlight broke through the dark sky. The streets of the capital were gradually filled with the smell of fireworks.
Mu Jingyan was very worried about his brother's safety, so he sneaked back to the Mu family's old house.
At this time, the building was already deserted, leaving only ruins.
She looked at everything in front of her in a daze, then fell to the ground and burst into tears.
After losing her husband, her brother was her only support, but now...
Mu Jingyan didn’t know how long he had been crying when he suddenly heard rhythmic knocking on the door.
She was slightly startled, then immediately became alert, climbed up and hid in the dark.
Shangguan Wanning knocked on the door with a secret signal, but no one came to open the door. She had a bad feeling in her heart.
She hesitated slightly and pushed the door hard.
Unexpectedly, she pushed the door open.
The feeling of uneasiness grew stronger and stronger, and she rushed in without having time to think about it.
The scene before her made her feel cold all over.
It was obvious that there had been a fierce fight here.
"Jing Rui?" Shangguan Wanning's heart was in a knot. She ran into the house and looked around but saw no sign of anyone.
"Jing Rui...Jing Rui..."
Shangguan Wanning's voice was hoarse and she tried her best to calm herself down.
"ah!"
There was a sudden pain in the back, and Shangguan Wanning was blown away and fell to the ground, suddenly spitting out a large mouthful of blood.
She turned around and saw Mu Jingyan glaring at her fiercely.
"Jing Yan...you..."
"Shangguan Wanning, you actually dared to come to my door? Why? Are you here to see if my brother is dead or not?"
Mu Jingyan remembered what Mu Jingrui said last night and immediately became furious.
She felt sorry for her brother.
For this woman, the entire Mu family was ruined.
"Jing Rui, he..." Shangguan Wan Ning tried to get up with all her strength, but she was in great pain all over. "What happened to Jing Rui?"
"Shangguan Wanning, you don't have to pretend anymore. If you hadn't betrayed me, how could others have found my brother's hiding place in such a short time? You killed him, I want to kill you to avenge him."
Shangguan Wanning's brain exploded instantly.
"What happened to Jingrui?" Shangguan Wanning asked in a roar.
"He's dead, Shangguan Wanning, are you satisfied?"
Shangguan Wanning's mind went blank, she couldn't accept this fact.
He was fine when they separated; how could he be dead in just one day?
"No... He won't die..."
"Shangguan Wanning, my brother has been so good to you, but you betrayed him again and again. I want you to pay the price for your actions."
Mu Jingyan drew out his sword and stabbed towards Shangguan Wanning's throat.
Shangguan Wanning did not dodge or evade, her mind was occupied by the news of Mu Jingrui's death.
She couldn't accept such an ending.
"Bang!"
When Mu Jingyan's sword was half an inch away from Shangguan Wanning's throat, a stone was thrown from the other side and hit her sword.
The long sword was deflected, and Mu Jingyan was also shocked and staggered back a few steps.
"have a finger in the pie."
When Mu Jingyan turned around and saw that it was Huo Gang, he became even more furious.
She didn't understand why there were always so many men protecting Shangguan Wanning.
She gripped the sword tightly and stabbed towards Huo Gang.
Huo Gang frowned helplessly. He was not good at expressing himself. Seeing that Mu Jingyan was pressing him aggressively, he had to subdue her and then knock her out.
"Miss, are you okay?" Huo Gang came forward and tried to help Shangguan Wan Ning up. "Hurry up, the ground is cold."
Shangguan Wanning looked dazed and her body was trembling slightly.
"Brother Huo, I..."
"Miss, please listen to me. Master Mu is not dead, he is just slightly injured. He is in a very safe place now, don't be sad, don't worry."
Huo Gang's words were like life-saving medicine, bringing Shangguan Wanning's heart back to life.
"Brother Huo, are you serious?"
"I was the one who rescued him last night. I won't lie to you."
"Then take me to see him right away."
"Of course. But..." Huo Gang looked outside and said in a low voice, "Miss, you have to send away these sedan bearers who brought you here."
Shangguan Wanning's thoughts gradually became clear.
She looked down at Mu Jingyan who was lying unconscious on the ground.
Why did Mu Jingyan insist that she was the one who betrayed Mu Jingrui? Because...
A chill ran through Shangguan Wanning's heart.
"Brother Huo, take Jing Yan away first. Find a safe place to settle her down. I'll find a way to get rid of everyone, and then I'll come find you."
Shangguan Wanning paused, pondered for a moment and said, "We will meet at Mingxiang Tower this afternoon."
"Okay." Huo Gang believed that with Shangguan Wanning's intelligence, they would be able to shake off all surveillance.
Shangguan Wanning watched Huo Gang and Mu Jingyan leave, then she took out the silver needles she carried with her and gave herself two injections. She waited until her qi and blood flowed smoothly before she barely got up, dusted herself off, took a deep breath and walked out.
"Miss, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Shangguan Wanning staggering, Grape immediately stepped forward to support her.
"I'm fine." Shangguan Wan Ning said weakly with a pale face, "I didn't find the person I was looking for. Let's go back."
"good."
Grape helped Shangguan Wanning get on the sedan chair. After returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Shangguan Wanning immediately took some medicine to treat her internal injuries.
She dismissed all the maids so that she could calm down and think carefully.
Scenes and fragments flashed through her mind, and a terrifying thought gradually emerged...
