"Close the gate and put up the gate."
The woman on the stage suddenly shouted, her voice completely rough and masculine.
He pulled out a sword from the pipa and jumped onto the second-floor balcony where Chu Mu was.
Nan Mo came over, holding Chu Mu in his arms while holding his sword to block the attack from the newcomer.
Xu Zhi's martial arts skills are very powerful, and Nan Mo, who has changed his core, has adapted well and can use Xu Zhi's internal strength very freely.
clang!
The dull sound of the weapons clashing was very piercing. Chu Mu squeezed out a little from Nan Mo's arms and said, "Hey, cross-dressing man, can we talk properly? You're yelling about fighting and killing right away. It's disrespectful."
Chu Mu stretched out two fingers to clamp the opponent's sword tip and slowly moved away.
"you……"
Chu Mu's movements seemed careless, but the fingers holding the sword seemed to be stuck on it. Even if the cross-dressing man used his internal strength, he could not shake him at all.
"I never thought you would have such high attainments in martial arts." The man in women's clothing was still holding the sword, as if he was waiting for Chu Mu to let go, so that he could stab him. "You are a beautiful woman, why do you want to snatch the love of someone else's heart?"
"What did I steal?" Chu Mu was stunned for a moment.
The cross-dressing man's gaze moved slightly towards Nan Mo.
"Ah! You mean him." Chu Mu reacted, "Have you heard of a saying? The one who teases first is the cheapest."
“…”
"Don't understand? That's right." Chu Mu flicked the sword away with his fingers. As expected, the man opposite him didn't hesitate at all and stabbed at him again with the sword raised.
clang!
Nan Mo had a gloomy face and slashed at the man with no mercy, directly cutting his sword into two pieces.
"See? This is called the one who teases first is a slut." Chu Mu pointed at the broken sword blade. "I spoke to you nicely, repeatedly warned you to be civilized, but you acted like a primitive person and didn't understand. Look, isn't this the slut (sword) gone?"
Chu Mu pointed at the sword and said "cheap". The man quickly understood and his expression changed several times: "I didn't expect you to be such a vulgar and rude person. No wonder they say like fathers, like sons, like daughters, and ...
"Are you sure you want to say that to me?" Chu Mu asked back, "I advise you to take it back quickly, otherwise you will definitely regret it."
"I regret it? Why should I do this for you—"
The cross-dressing man's ridicule had not yet been fully uttered when it was suddenly cut off and stuck in his throat.
——Because Chu Mu took off the mask on his face.
The man's expression changed drastically, his face showing deep fear and disbelief: "Sister... Second sister..."
"Haha," Chu Mu clapped his hands, "I guessed right."
"Can you talk properly now?" Chu Mu raised his chin towards the stunned man.
The man changed his previous relentless attitude and nodded woodenly.
Nan Mo took a step towards Chu Mu: "Mu Mu?"
"Sit down and listen," Chu Mu dragged a chair to Nan Mo and gave instructions to the people waiting outside the door, "The tea is cold, change it. There are also snacks, bring some over as well."
The people outside the door looked at each other, not knowing how to respond.
"Do as he says." The cross-dressing man gave the order in a low voice, his attitude becoming completely calm.
He took the initiative to find a chair and sat down, his eyes fixed on Chu Mu's face: "You——"
"You guessed right, I am Ruji's biological son."
Chu Mu had never thought about this matter in front of Nan Mo and the paralyzed Lao Qi, so this was the first time they heard about it.
"Mu, Mumu..." Nan Mo was shocked. He had thought about this possibility for hundreds of times and had never thought of it.
Chu Mu:......
[Ah, shit, I'm going crazy. Why has this guy become like this big idiot? With this stupid tone, how am I going to clear his name later?]
Nan Mo quickly put away his surprise and said in a calm and composed voice, "Mu Mu, how did you say that?"
Chu Mu sighed: [It's okay, it's okay. Although not smart, but quick to react. At least it's not completely useless.]
The expressionless Old Seven was a little happy: Young Master Chaochao doesn't seem to like the Duke that much, they all say he is stupid.
Nan Mo was also very happy: That’s great, Mu Mu praised me!
Very good, we finally achieved a world where only the cross-dressing man was frightened.
“You, you, you…”
His lips trembled and he could only utter this one word for a long time.
"As soon as I entered the teahouse, I noticed that the woman playing the piano looked very similar to my mother, whom I had seen in a portrait. This resemblance wasn't simply a physical resemblance, but an intuition that came from blood ties."
Chu Mu began to tell lies half-truthfully.
“I also thought that anyone who could be trusted by the Hidden King must be no ordinary person.
The assassins who framed me did not change their words even after being tortured to the point of no return. It must not be just a matter of professional ethics, but probably some kind of belief.
I was just slightly skeptical until I saw you just now."
Chu Mu pointed at the man in cross-dressing with a look of grief in his eyes.
"Is it because of blood ties that one is so loyal?"
The cross-dressing man's lips trembled even more violently. He remained silent, which was considered as tacit agreement with Chu Mu's guess.
"Are you Ruji's brother? I always thought that the one on the throne was my nephew, so I was willing to be the knife in his back, helping him eliminate dissidents, including me."
"My name is Akron. Anali... also known as Ruji, is my second sister." The cross-dressing man spoke slowly. "She was forced by our father to come to the Central Plains to marry a foreign prince. I was too useless at the time and couldn't help her. By the time I finally gained my own strength, she was already dead."
