"I heard that there's a young man in white in the capital who caught the thief with a clever trick. Is that young man the young man in white in front of me?" An Muxi held onto his wine cup and laughed as he tried to test the waters.
Actually, all of the matters, including the causes and effects of the events that happened three days ago, had already been presented in front of Gongsun Heng's desk. Through Gongsun Heng, An Muxi also knew the identities of the three, but he could only use this method to probe each other out.
"Yes, I am. May I know how to address you, young master?" Qi Yun had a good impression of this man who liked to wear white like him.
"My surname is An." An Muxi smiled as he introduced himself, "If I'm not mistaken, you are the Regent of the Yue Country. Back then, you relied on your own strength to bring the young prince to the highest seat."
"No, it's This King." Qi Yun's hand that was holding the wine cup trembled slightly, and the corners of his mouth formed a smile that was not a smile.
"So these two are the famous crown prince and his consort, the Heavenly Sage." When he said the four words "Your Highness", An Muxi's words were especially harsh, as if he was referring to something.
Xuanyuan Chen's expression instantly darkened, and quickly returned to his usual calm demeanor. He said with a smile, "Young Master An has good eyesight, as expected of the son of Prime Minister An."
Finished, her eyes swept across Gongsun Heng.
If he did not guess, just by looking at this, he could see that An Muxi had a deep friendship with Gongsun Heng. Who would speak up for their master unless their subordinate was highly regarded by their master?
Although Gongsun Heng was the crown prince, An Muxi was still the son of the prime minister after all. The two were of similar ages, and An Muxi had accompanied him since he was young, so becoming Gongsun Heng's trusted aide was naturally to be expected.
However, An Muxi should never have hinted that he was the crown prince, this was his bottom line, he would not allow anyone to doubt his royal brother Xuanyuan Rui.
"No no, the three of you are probably here to participate in my prince's birthday banquet, right?" An Muxi chuckled, but a dark light flashed in his eyes, he did not smile at all.
Gongsun Heng coldly coughed twice. An Muxi immediately went silent and dispelled the thought of continuing to probe around in his mind.
Seeing that, Xuanyuan Chen's face unconsciously became colder, and his lips hooked up into a smile.
The dining table was quiet for a while, except for the faint sound of a spoon colliding with a porcelain bowl and the sound of chewing.
After dinner, An Muxi and Gongsun Heng watched as Xuanyuan Chen and the other two left. An Muxi furrowed his brows in puzzlement, and asked: "Your Highness, why did you stop this subordinate just now?"
Gongsun Heng shot a cold glance at An Muxi, and saw slight dissatisfaction in his eyes, and said coldly: "You think the three of them are idiots? Do you really think they can't tell that you're obviously trying to get close to them, make conversation, and test them? "They are just having a rare good mood to play with you."
Hearing Gongsun Heng's extremely cold words, An Muxi felt wronged. He wanted to refute, but did not know how. His pair of eyes stubbornly stared at Gongsun Heng for a long while. He pursed his lips and left.
After An Muxi left, the secret guard that was hidden behind Gongsun Heng finally revealed his identity, knelt behind Gongsun Heng and said in a low voice: "Master, you clearly know that everything Master An does is for Master, why did you chase him away?"
Gongsun Heng's cold eyes swept across the surroundings once, the coldness in his eyes gradually breaking, revealing a trace of other emotions.
"Black Hawk, they're here." Gongsun Heng didn't say anything to explain, he only said some vague words in a low voice.
Before the black hawk could understand what was going on, his expression turned cold. He could already feel the uneasiness coming from the wind.
It seemed that some bugs were coming.
With a slight movement of the wind, ten black clothed men immediately appeared in front of Gongsun Heng and the black hawk.
The bright moonlight shone down, illuminating the back of the black clothed men. However, there was no light in front of them. They were like a black hole, ready to attract anything that was caught off guard.
Gongsun Heng looked at the ten black-clothed men in front of him expressionlessly. Looking at his hidden guard Black Hawks and the ten black-clothed men fighting against each other, Gongsun Heng estimated in his heart how long the Black Hawk could last.
However, looking at the current situation, the black hawk would still need about fifteen minutes to finish off all these people. Since that was the case, Gongsun Heng decided to just stand there and observe the situation.
Unexpectedly, a clear and melodious female voice rang out from behind him. It sounded very familiar.
"Why didn't Crown Prince Gongsun go and help?" Xie Qingrong suddenly appeared beside Gongsun Heng. She had a smile on her face, and interest in her eyes, as if she was enjoying the show.
Gongsun Heng's gaze quickly swept across Xie Qingrong, Xuanyuan Chen and Qi Yun.
From the very beginning, he had already sensed that the three of them had not gone far, but after hearing Xie Qingrong's question, Gongsun Heng coldly replied: "He does not need any help."
The certainty in his words was obvious. It was obvious that he trusted his subordinates to deal with these men in black and to be able to deal with them at any time.
Hearing this, Xie Qingrong was startled, as though she did not expect Gongsun Heng to trust his subordinates that much, but Gongsun Heng's hidden guards did not need any help.
These people were far from being his match.
Laughing softly, he continued to ask, "Just now, when I heard your secret guard's question, he was quite curious. Young Master An was loyal to you and was wholeheartedly working for you. Crown Prince Gongsun isn't worried that Young Master An will hate you because of that? "
It was rare for Gongsun Heng to turn his body sideways, but a pair of deep black eyes that carried a hint of azure blue stared at Xie Qingrong's eyes. In this dark night, it seemed somewhat strange.
He shook his head and said, "There's no doubt about it. There's no need to suspect him."
It was just a simple eight words, yet it explained everything the other party had just said.
There was another reason why Gongsun Heng had angered An Muxi into leaving earlier, and he had already sensed that someone wanted to make a move against him. However, he was unable to determine the number of people on the other party, and for the sake of An Muxi's safety, he purposely provoked An Muxi with his words.
This was because An Muxi did not know any martial arts. Although he was clever, intelligent and nimble, he was a thorough scholar without any foundation in martial arts.
If An Muxi was here, his and the hidden guards' ability to deal with the bugs following them would decrease.
However, he did not give any explanation for all of this. In his opinion, there was no need for any explanation at all. Once An Muxi returned to Prime Minister's Estate An, he would naturally want to know what he had done just now.
