A clear and melodious sound, like birdsong, rang out.
Bai Yunxing gave the coded message and waited for Mu Hu to appear.
All children of the Mu family's direct line, regardless of gender, experience a dark period in their childhood, being locked in the study to memorize all the secret codes.
The smart ones need more than two months to memorize it, like Sixth Sister.
The less intelligent ones are like the myna bird that carried its lap for almost a year.
But now, Bai Yunxing had to admit that the code was really too good.
It offers multiple combinations and can be used in any scenario.
Mu Hu, who had been waiting nearby, soon appeared.
With no one around, Mu Hu looked at the child in front of him and finally asked the question he wanted to ask: "Whose spy are you?"
Mu Hu wanted to know, and so did the two big shots secretly following in the shadows.
Under their expectant gaze, Bai Yunxing spoke:
"Mu Liu".
Even though they were family, Bai Yunxing didn't directly reveal his identity.
This is too absurd to believe; the fewer people who know about it, the better.
To avoid giving some scoundrels in the court a handle to accuse the Mu family of charlatanry or even of deceiving the emperor.
When Mu Hu thought of Miss Mu Liu, he suddenly realized that it wasn't so strange for a child to be a mole.
After all, they were all women who disguised themselves as men to flirt with princesses and almost married them; what else wouldn't they do?
"Bei Lanfeng may be here, but I don't know why he would be here."
"Bei Lanfeng! What's he doing here?"
Upon hearing the name, Mu Hu was shocked, but his voice unconsciously carried a hint of resentment.
Bai Yunxing looked at Mu Hu calmly and said in a deep voice, "I told you, I don't know yet."
"The death of the manager of Zhenxiulou should be attributed to him. It is still uncertain whether Zhenxiulou has any connection with the Northern Barbarians. Go back and inform the Fourth Young Master; he should know what to do."
Mu Hu nodded in agreement.
"By the way, please send this letter back to the capital and personally deliver it to the old lady."
Bai Yunxing handed the letter he had prepared to Mu Hu.
His address was written in code in the letter.
This is a letter from the Mu family. He even dared to use coded language to write it out. The last letter he asked Liang Tian'er to help deliver to the capital was too risky, so he didn't write it in detail.
He was determined to return to the General's Mansion. Heaven had given him a second chance, and he would certainly dedicate himself to the faith he had not fulfilled in his previous life.
Mu Hu took the letter: "Okay!"
After walking a few steps back, Mu Hu stopped and looked at the young but calm and precocious child.
"You need to be careful and not provoke Bei Lanfeng. You are still young but you have this intelligence. You will definitely be someone important when you grow up."
Bai Yunxing chuckled lightly but said nothing, only clasped his hands in a gesture of respect.
Mu Hu's figure walked away into the distance.
Bai Yunqi, who was following in the shadows, glanced at Mu Hu, then at his own second brother.
So, the second brother must have been replaced, right?
It can't all be some kind of hidden plot, right? Probably not. The second brother I remember wasn't this clever.
Could it be that before this second brother was resurrected, he was a local?
He had heard his second brother mention the Mu family before, and that he wanted to join the army and become a general. Could it be that he was a member of the Mu family before?
Just as Bai Yunqi was pondering, a dark figure suddenly darted out.
He went straight to his second brother, who was still standing on the street and hadn't gone home yet.
At that moment, Bai Yunqi instinctively wanted to lend a helping hand.
But he quickly realized that he couldn't act rashly; he needed to see how his second brother would react first.
Bai Yun'an, who was hiding elsewhere, shared the same idea.
However, when Bai Yun'an saw the person who suddenly appeared, his gaze subconsciously turned to the direction where Mu Hu had just left.
Could someone else be emerging over there, trying to eliminate all of the Mu family's hidden agents?
Tsk...
If we don't deal with this man in black, there will be more trouble at home.
Bai Yun'an glanced at the spot where his elder brother was hiding. With his elder brother there, everything should be alright.
Then he should go and take a look in the direction Mu Hu had just left.
To prevent these scoundrels from targeting the elderly, weak, sick, and disabled in his family and ruining the little seedlings he wanted to woo.
Bai Yun'an turned around and followed the direction Mu Hu had left in.
Bai Yunxing was somewhat surprised by the person who suddenly appeared, but he managed to dodge it thanks to his agile and nimble movements.
The man in black behind him immediately caught up; he refused to believe he couldn't handle a little brat.
Bai Yunxing didn't run towards home, nor did he run towards more spacious areas; he specifically chose difficult, narrow paths.
Bai Yunqi, who was secretly following, smiled slightly, though he didn't know what his second brother was planning to do.
But it's obvious this kid's up to something.
As the older brother, how could he not help?
He channeled his spiritual energy and quietly intervened at the crucial moment to block the attack for a brief instant.
Bai Yunxing glanced back and felt a little strange, wondering if the man in black had a problem with his legs.
But he didn't have time to get to the bottom of things at that moment. Holding the sharp stone in his hand, he ran towards a nearby alley where there were many miscellaneous items.
Bai Yunxing, who looked exhausted from running and almost caught, suddenly turned around and, with agile movements, used the momentum to aim at the man in black's crotch.
He leaned back and slid between the legs of the man in black, then swung his right hand, which was holding a stone, directly upwards to strike.
In the blink of an eye, a scream echoed through the night sky.
Bai Yunqi, hidden in the shadows, subconsciously squeezed his legs together. Damn it…
Who says men can't empathize!
That's so relatable!
The second brother usually seems steady, honest, and reliable, but why is he so...unreliable when it comes to getting things done?
Bai Yunxing didn't stop; he knew all too well what his strengths and weaknesses were.
While head-on confrontations are a disadvantage, his greatest strengths lie in his agility and youthful physique, which can easily lead to complacency.
There was no time to catch my breath; this was my only chance.
He threw away the stone in his hand, drew a small knife from his sleeve, and aimed it straight at the man's throat, which was lowered as he clutched his groin and bent over.
He sharpens this knife whenever he has free time; it's so fast he can cut pork quickly. He keeps it hidden in his yard, and only took it out tonight to exchange secret signals, just in case something unexpected happens.
Blood spurted out instantly, and even though Bai Yunxing dodged it, he was still stained with blood.
Looking at the man in black who was not yet completely dead, his eyes were as calm as a deep pool. He took a deep breath and raised his hand to stab the man in the throat again.
That's not all.
What truly frightened Bai Yunqi was Bai Yunxing's subsequent fearful shout.
"Help!! Murder!!!"
The white clouds in the shadows: !?
What's this kid up to?!
