Gu Xin asked, "Brother, it seems like Shi Mu is looking at Xue'er. Has he been looking at her the whole time?"
Gu Yingxue was sitting next to the Empress, helping the Emperor and Empress translate the words of the various princes and princesses in the room. Gu Si was also with her, and Gu Si was sitting next to the Emperor.
Therefore, Shi Mu's keen eye was quite obvious; he was watching Gu Yingxue.
Cheng Huaijin: "Yes, more than once."
Lu Zheng looked over, his brows furrowing slightly. There was no such person as Shi Mu in his previous life, and his intuition told him that Shi Mu was extremely dangerous.
Moreover, Bai Yi discovered that this Shi Mu would appear in the streets and alleys of the capital at night wearing black clothes. However, he didn't do anything, just strolled around casually. Bai Yi and the others didn't arrest him. What if he had a hobby of wearing black clothes? Besides, arresting him immediately would be like alerting him. So they followed him to see what he was going to do, but he didn't do anything.
Gu Xin was somewhat surprised: "More than once? He couldn't possibly know Xue'er, could it be that he came to Da Zhou before, and knew Xue'er before she joined Uncle Qingyuan and the others? But Xue'er never mentioned it!"
Cheng Huaijin shook his head: "I don't know. I noticed it the first time at the palace banquet. He seemed a little surprised when he first saw Xue'er, but then he composed himself. After that, I observed him intentionally, and he did indeed stare at Xue'er frequently."
Lu Zheng said, "Could it be that he went out at night to look for someone?"
Gu Xin and Cheng Huaijin both looked at Lu Zheng: "Looking for someone?"
Lu Zheng nodded and told them about the recent discovery made by the white-clad man.
Shi Mu is very vigilant. If he goes out and is watched by others, he might be discovered. The one in white is the most useful. His ability to hide is very good. In any case, Shi Mu did not discover him.
Therefore, during the day, Bai Yi served as the head of the Imperial Guards to maintain order in the palace, and at night he would go to the embassy to keep watch. In the end, Gu Shouxin and the emperor assigned him the task of keeping an eye on Shi Mu.
Gu Xin looked at Shi Mu again, but this time Shi Mu's eyes were no longer on Gu Yingxue; he was about to go on stage.
The three of them remained silent and all looked towards the competition platform.
If you stare at Shi Mu at this moment, he won't think you're specifically observing him; he'll just assume you're watching the game.
Shi Mu defeated a prince from the West, and won very easily.
The three noticed that after Shi Mu won, he glanced at Gu Yingxue, who was still clapping. Shi Mu felt disappointed, but only for a moment, before feeling relieved again.
Gu Xin and the other two were a little confused. What did this mean? Could it be that they really knew Xue'er?
Or do you know someone who looks like Xue'er?
The people from Jiacang do indeed look quite similar to the people of Da Zhou.
Next, Cheng Huaijin took the stage, and the three of them no longer had time to study the problem.
Cheng Huaijin's first opponent was a prince from the West.
Cheng Huaijin, carrying his sword, slowly walked onto the dueling platform.
"Prince Ahai, please enlighten me." The prince was using a knife, and he assumed a stance after speaking.
"Alright!" Cheng Huaijin showed his opponent the utmost respect and made his move seriously.
The two had known each other for a long time and had even fought like this at the Royal Academy. The other party knew he couldn't beat Cheng Huaijin, but he didn't give up.
The two were very serious about their competition.
