"Okay, I'll take you in right away." The guard nodded repeatedly, not daring to look back, and walked straight towards the inner palace. However, he didn't dare to move too fast, for fear that the person behind him would become suspicious and stab him with a sword.
In this way, it was obviously impossible to avoid the eyes and ears of other secret sentries. However, when they saw Mu Hanyan holding a long sword against the back of the guard and walking towards the inner palace, the secret sentries did not react at all, and no one raised the alarm.
It seems that the guard was not lying. Yan Yuchu must have given instructions in advance, otherwise he would have been alarmed when he saw this situation.
Mu Hanyan was even more confused, but she knew that she couldn't get anything out of the guards, so she suppressed her curiosity and walked towards the inner palace.
After passing through the long corridor, the two came to the inner palace.
Although it was midnight, a large red lantern was hanging in the pavilion. On both sides of the stone table, a young man in his twenties and a boy who looked only sixteen or seventeen were sitting opposite each other drinking.
Although the young man was holding a wine glass in his hand, he had a sad face. He was Mu Ziqing, the fourth son of the Third Elder's family. The boy had a cold and aloof appearance, so he should be Yan Yuchu, the young master of the Yan family.
Hearing footsteps, they both turned their heads at the same time.
"Why are you here?" Mu Ziqing exclaimed as he looked at Mu Hanyan.
Yan Yuchu looked at Mu Hanyan with a half-smile, as if to say, "I've been waiting for you for a long time."
"Lord City Lord, someone from the Mu family is here. I brought him in as you instructed." The guard bowed respectfully to Yan Yuchu.
"Okay, go back and collect your reward. Pass on my order. From now on, no one is allowed to get close to the inner palace." Yan Yuchu waved his hand, sent the guards away, and then looked at Mu Hanyan.
"Are you Mu Hanfeng or Mu Feng?" Yan Yuchu asked.
"Mu Hanyan." Mu Hanyan said.
"Mu Hanyan? Never heard of her." Yan Yuchu shook his head and said with disappointment and contempt.
It seems that it's not just Jiang Yuzhe. In Yan Yuchu's eyes, among the younger generations of the entire Mu family, the only ones who can catch his eye are Mu Hanfeng and Mu Feng.
It seems that the reputation of a playboy over the years was not earned in vain. It really deceived everyone. Being ignored like this, Mu Hanyan didn't know whether to feel lucky or unfortunate.
"I remember now. Mu Hanyan, the most dissolute and useless person in Black Stone City, is you." Yan Yuchu thought about it and finally remembered Mu Hanyan's name and said.
Mu Hanyan suddenly felt that it was better to be ignored.
"Hanyan, why are you here? This is not the place for you. Go back quickly." Mu Ziqing came to his senses and said to Mu Hanyan anxiously.
Mu Hanyan saw the concern in Mu Ziqing's eyes and felt a little touched. She had always had a bad reputation since she was a child, and the other brothers and sisters in the Mu family avoided her like the plague, even wishing for her misfortune. Mu Ziqing's anxiety and concern at this moment were not feigned; they were genuinely concerned for her safety. It was not easy for a member of the Mu family to do this.
"Fourth Uncle, I came to Xiushui City this time on the orders of my family to pick you up. How can I explain myself if I go back like this?" Mu Hanyan spread her hands and said to Mu Ziqing.
"Hahaha, you want to pick him up and take him back? If it was Mu Hanfeng or Mu Feng who came, it would be possible. But with just you, I'm afraid you don't even have a chance at all." Yan Yuchu laughed as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, and his contempt for Mu Hanyan was self-evident.
