While Mu Cheng was both enthusiastic and excited, Mu Hanyan stretched out her hand and stuffed all the pills into his mouth.
I don’t know if it was the effect of the elixir or his fanatical worship of Ye Lanxuan, but Mu Cheng’s complexion was much better and his breathing became much calmer.
Mu Hanyan focused her spiritual sense to investigate and found that his internal organs were shaken and his meridians were damaged, but the injuries were not too serious, so she did not rush to send him for treatment.
The most urgent thing at the moment is to find out about Mu Nan's situation first.
"What's wrong with Mu Nan?" Mu Hanyan asked again.
"I accompanied Mu Nan to the capital. When we passed through Lin'an County, we checked Yu Qingwan's whereabouts. We didn't hold out much hope, but we unexpectedly ran into her on an ancient road. She was being held hostage in a carriage. Mu Nan and I quietly followed them, hoping to rescue her when they weren't paying attention.
However, the enemy was too alert and too powerful. As soon as they started fighting, several guards we brought with us were killed on the spot. Seeing that the situation was not good, Mu Nan and I had no choice but to run away. However, we were caught up by the enemy less than two miles away. After only three moves, I was seriously injured.
"We were about to die, but luckily someone came to our rescue at the critical moment, and we were able to escape separately. I managed to escape all the way to the capital, but Mu Nan is not as strong as me, so I don't know if I can escape." Mu Cheng said worriedly.
"Who saved you?" Mu Hanyan asked.
"That person only said that he was from the Mu family in the capital, but he didn't have time to say his name. However, there is a sword scar on his forehead, so it should not be difficult to find out his background." Mu Cheng said.
"The person he is talking about is called Mu Sha, a assassin trained by our Mu family." At this moment, Mu Beichen's voice was heard at the door.
"Greetings, Master of the House." The guard and the servant who came carrying the stretcher saluted hurriedly.
"Everyone, leave." Mu Beichen waved his hand and sent several people away. It was obvious that there were some things he didn't want too many people to know.
"Greetings, Master Patriarch." Mu Cheng knew that the person who came was the Patriarch of the Zong family, so he dared not be negligent. He stood up and saluted. After struggling for a few times, he fell back heavily.
"Lie down." Mu Beichen patted Mu Cheng's shoulder and said admiringly, "I've heard that the grandson of the third elder of the Mu family in Black Stone City has extraordinary talent and is obsessed with martial arts. Seeing him today, it is indeed true."
After hearing the praise from the head of the family, Mu Cheng's face turned red with excitement.
"I just received a message from Mu Sha saying that he rescued Mu Nan from the Mu family in Black Stone City and was trying to avoid being hunted down by his enemies and return to the capital. I didn't expect you to come back first." Mu Beichen said.
"So, Mu Nan is fine?" After hearing this, Mu Hanyan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"I can only say that everything is fine for now. According to the news sent back by Mu Sha, the opponent is too strong. Even he was seriously injured. I'm afraid it will be difficult to escape the opponent's pursuit. But you don't have to worry too much. I have sent Yun Bo to support him. Nothing should happen." Mu Beichen replied.
Mu Hanyan's heart sank slightly again. She was not worried about Yun Bo's strength at all, but after all, distant water cannot quench a nearby fire, and she didn't know whether Yun Bo could catch up.
"Mu Sha has been taught by Yun Bo personally since he was a child, and I have also given him a lot of guidance. Although he is still young and his strength is not very strong, when it comes to his determination and adaptability, he can be regarded as the best among the young generation of Mu family's death warriors. As long as he is still alive, Mu Nan will never be in danger of his life." Seeing Mu Hanyan's worry, Mu Beichen said comfortingly.
Seeing her grandfather's confident look, Mu Hanyan felt relieved again.
The assassins of each major family are trained since childhood and receive the most brutal training. Whether in loyalty to the family, their own strength, or their ability to deal with crises, they are much stronger than many of the descendants of the main family. My grandfather has such a high opinion of Mu Sha, and I believe that he is absolutely capable. With his protection, Mu Nan will not be in any danger for the time being.
"Grandfather, who is the other party?" Mu Hanyan asked in a deep voice.
Regardless of whether Mu Nan can escape safely, anyone who dares to attack her must not be let go.
"Mu Sha didn't mention this, so the truth probably hasn't been found out yet. But since Yun Bo took action personally, I think there will be results soon." Mu Beichen said thoughtfully.
"Hanyan, Zirong, according to the news sent back by Mu Sha, not only is Mu Nan's life not in danger for the time being, but Miss Yu is also safe and sound. With Yun Bo's help, you can also rest assured." After a pause, Mu Beichen continued.
"Thank you, Master Patriarch. I would never be able to repay your kindness even if I die a thousand times." Zirong said with emotion, tears in her eyes.
No matter it is a wealthy family or an ordinary family with some strength, the head of the family is often served by an old servant. These people are trained by the previous head of the family and are equivalent to the shadow guards of the next head of the family.
Such people are outstanding in both strength and character, and are extremely loyal to the head of the family. Apart from the orders of the head of the family, even the supreme elders cannot give them orders, so their status in the clan is extremely special. Although they do not hold any position, no one dares to offend them easily.
To offend them is definitely not any easier than to offend the head of the family.
This was the case with the old butler named Fu Bo who served Zhao Yuanji in the past, and also with Yun Bo. Of course, the Mu family's current strength and reputation far exceeded that of the Zhao family by many times, so Yun Bo's strength and status were even more unattainable.
Mu Beichen had actually sent Yun Bo for his sake. What a kindness! No wonder Zirong was so moved.
"Your business is Hanyan's business, and Hanyan's business is my business, right? Don't say this again in the future." Mu Beichen waved his hand and said proudly.
Mu Hanyan looked at her grandfather a few times. It was obvious that Mu Beichen was helping her to win people's hearts. Although she felt that there was no need to win people's hearts given her friendship with Zirong, she was still grateful for her grandfather's painstaking efforts.
"Okay, help Mu Cheng to rest first. I'll ask the doctor to come and see him later. Leave Miss Yu's matter to me, and you can do whatever you need to do. With Uncle Yun taking care of it, you don't have to worry." Mu Beichen was afraid that Mu Hanyan and Zirong would act rashly, so he gave them another warning and then left the courtyard.
Not long after, two doctors hurried over and checked Mu Cheng's injuries.
Mu Cheng's injuries were serious, but fortunately his cultivation foundation was very solid, so he was fine after taking the pill.
Mu Hanyan originally wanted him to have a good rest, but since this guy saw Ye Lanxun, he was as excited as if he had been injected with chicken blood. He didn't want to delay for a moment and started chatting with his "master" with great enthusiasm.
Ye Lanxuan didn't want to pay any attention to him and turned away expressionlessly. But this guy was as persistent as a piece of taffy, talking nonsense all over the place, making Mu Hanyan and the others feel overwhelmed. They had never seen this guy so boastful before.
