"Xiao Jin, Shi Mu's kung fu is indeed quite good. You should be careful when you face him tomorrow. He barely exerted himself in today's match, so we can't tell how strong he is yet." Lu Zheng changed the subject and returned to Cheng Huaijin's matter.
"Yes, I noticed that too." Cheng Huaijin took a deep breath and nodded.
“Prince Ahai, you must be wary of his hidden attacks. After several days of observation, I’ve discovered that he carries concealed weapons. The competition doesn’t prohibit the use of concealed weapons, so you need to be on guard against him using them,” the man in white solemnly warned.
"Hidden weapon? Did you see what kind of hidden weapon he used?" Gu Xin asked.
"I can't be sure about that, but what I can be sure of is that he carried a hidden weapon. If a child hadn't bumped into him one night, I wouldn't have noticed," said the man in white.
"A child showing up so late at night? What's going on?" Gu Xin was taken aback for a moment, then asked.
General Shi Mu's evening outings are always at fixed times, so there shouldn't be any children on the streets at this hour.
"It's the child from the family next to Miss Xue'er's house. He was wandering around the capital before, and I wasn't sure if his destination was Miss Xue'er's house. That time, he wasn't wearing any night clothes, just ordinary clothes, and he wandered around that street by himself. The lady of the house next to Miss Xue'er's took her child to her parents' house for a banquet and didn't return home until very late. The child was throwing a tantrum on the way. I don't know exactly what the tantrum was about, but the child jumped off the carriage and bumped into Shi Mu. Shi Mu probably didn't expect such a young child to dare to jump off the carriage, especially at night. Caught off guard, he instinctively took out a hidden weapon. Then he realized it was just an ordinary family's child and put it away. That's when I found out. He was very fast and controlled at the time. If I hadn't been watching him closely, I really wouldn't have noticed. And he was very alert, so I not only had to stay far away, but I also had to hide well. That's why I couldn't see what kind of hidden weapon it was," the man in white explained.
"He's really cunning! He must have had his eye on Xue'er when he first entered the palace, and then he went out every night just to look for her. He probably found out everything beforehand, but he was afraid that someone in our Great Zhou was watching him, so he wandered around like this, trying to disturb us. He probably doesn't know that there are people in our Great Zhou who can follow him without him noticing!" Gu Si sighed.
“He is indeed very thoughtful. He didn’t notice me, but he has been wandering around like this for so many days, and only today did he finally arrive at his destination. I can tell that he really has no bad intentions towards Miss Xue’er.” The man in white said, glancing at Cheng Huaijin again.
Cheng Huaijin didn't say anything, but a strange feeling rose in his heart that he couldn't describe.
If he had to use one word to describe it, he thinks it would be fear!
He wasn't afraid of Shi Mu, and he wasn't sure what he was afraid of either.
A short while later, Du San Niang arrived with her maid carrying a tray. After greeting them briefly, she excused herself, saying she needed to go back to her room to rest, and told Bai Yi to take good care of Gu Xin and the others.
Lu Zheng said, "Boss Du, the host, isn't here, so he had Bai Yi take care of us. Could it be that you two are getting married soon? You must tell me, otherwise I won't have time to prepare a gift. Giving money directly is too vulgar."
