"Master!"
The soldiers rushed forward and caught Xu Zhi who fell off his horse.
"ah--"
The arrogant Duke Zhenguo lost all his composure at this moment, holding his head and wailing.
Chu Mu was dumbfounded: [No way? I didn't do anything.]
The guards on both sides drew their swords and pointed them at Chu Mu: "You bold demon! What kind of magic did you use? Stop it immediately!"
Chu Mu raised his hands innocently: "I didn't even move my hands, how can you let me stay? This is a scam!"
"You're talking nonsense!" The guards on both sides shouted and drew their swords to attack Chu Mu.
【Tsk, what bad luck.】
Chu Mu kicked the knee of the person next to him, snatched the knife from that person's hand, and blocked the fierce blow from the left guard.
"Hey, can you please talk properly? Xu Zhi must be suffering from some acute illness. If he keeps fighting with me, you, the Duke, will be in danger."
"Stop spreading lies and misleading people! You must have cast a spell! I'm going to arrest you, this evil creature—"
“Bang!”
A hand grabbed the left guard's raised arm.
"Duke?" The left guard's eyes widened as they grew larger than copper bells. "Are you alright?"
Xu Zhi grabbed the left guard's arm with one hand and rubbed his head twice angrily with the other hand: "Back off."
"?"
Xu Zhi's voice was not loud, and the left guard could not hear it clearly.
“Back off!”
Xu Zhi's bloodshot eyes glanced towards the left guard, and the rough-looking man shuddered suddenly.
"yes……"
The imperial guards surrounding Chu Mu retreated slightly, forming a circle and trapping him and Xu Zhi in the middle.
"You——" Xu Zhi shook his head, "Come here."
Chu Mu took a step back: [The Mad Duke doesn't look normal at all right now, I don't want to go over there!]
Xu Zhi raised his fist and hit himself on the head.
“…” Chu Mu took another step back.
"Chao Mu," Xu Zhi's voice remained unchanged, but his tone seemed a little different, "Come here."
Chu Mu seemed to hear a hint of pleading in these three simple words.
“…”
What the hell is this guy doing? I don't understand.
Xu Zhi winked at him: "Chao Mu, come here."
This expression...
Chu Mu's eyebrows knitted together.
[Why, for a moment, did I feel that his expression resembled Nan Mo? ? ]
Xu Zhi's eyes suddenly lit up.
He waved to Chu Mu: "Come, I'll show you something."
【It's inexplicable.】
Chu Mu was confused, but he still slowly moved towards Xu Zhi.
When the distance between them was reduced to only about one meter, Chu Mu stopped and asked, "What are the instructions, Duke?"
Xu Zhi looked around and suddenly raised his hands.
[Damn! He's planning a surprise attack!]
Chu Mu took a defensive stance, ready to knock Xu Zhi away with one palm.
[He made a move... What was he going to do?!]
——Two raised middle fingers slowly extended from under the two gold-woven sleeves.
“???”
Chu Mu was completely stunned.
"That..." Xu Zhi lowered his voice, "You just taught me."
"You——" Chu Mu had an absurd guess in his mind, "Are you Nan Mo?"
Xu Zhi's eyes lit up even more, and he nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Yeah, yeah!"
"That one up there..."
Chu Mu pointed to the attic.
"I don't know," "Xu Zhi" shook his head, "Just now I was--"
"Shh." Chu Mu secretly made a silent gesture, "Don't say anything when there are too many people talking."
The distance between them had been shortened to the shortest at this moment, and in the eyes of the guards, it was an extremely ambiguous posture.
"Tsk." The left guard showed disdain, "Fox charmer."
"Stop talking." The right guard kicked him. "Why should you worry about the master's affairs?"
The left guard Nunu's thick and fat lips still looked at Chu Mu with an unfriendly gaze.
"What am I supposed to do now?"
"Xu Zhi" grabbed the wide sleeves, feeling a little uncomfortable.
"Leave first." Chu Mu glanced towards the attic calmly.
[Nan Mo has taken over Xu Zhi's body, so Xu Zhi's core will probably also enter Nan Mo's shell. The people upstairs still haven't reacted, so there is only one possibility.]
【Nan Mo is still dizzy.】
[No, we have to leave before he wakes up.]
"Ahem," Xu Zhi understood. Without waiting for Chu Mu to speak, he cleared his throat and said loudly, "Return to the capital."
The guards around looked at each other, and besides being on guard, they were more confused.
They had seen how powerful Chaomu's kung fu was, but what was even more terrifying was that this man seemed to know some weird magic.
Everyone was prepared for a fierce battle.
As a result, the battle formation was set up, and the Duke of Zhenguo said lightly, "Return to the capital," and the man really clasped his hands and stood obediently beside the Duke.
"Sir, you are really amazing. You can capture the bandits without any soldiers." The left guard couldn't help but admire him. He took out a pair of shackles and was about to go forward to arrest the man.
"Chao Mu!"
The white-haired old man who was ignored on the side let out a sad cry.
"I taught you poetry, literature, etiquette and morality, but when did I ever teach you to be lowly and allow yourself to be insulted and bullied by this group of jackals, tigers and leopards?"
"Now that you've escaped the Imperial City, why are you turning back?"
"If it's because of me..."
The old man's face hardened, and determination was revealed in his cloudy eyes.
"Master will teach you one last thing today!"
The old man suddenly burst out with energy, and rushed towards the swords of the surrounding soldiers with the heavy wooden yoke on his head.
