Her pretty eyebrows furrowed, Mu Qianyu lowered her gaze and looked at the big hand covering her waist.

At this time, he did not think about the assassination attempt by the man in black. Instead, he said coldly, "Let go!"

She had no objection to this man fighting with the black clothed man. In any case, she couldn't beat him now, so fighting against him was useless.

But why did this man have to put his arm around her?

With one hand, Xiao Chengyi took out his own sword, and faced the black clothed man's stab, with the other hand he held onto Mu Qianyu tightly.

She turned a deaf ear to her displeasure, and her eyes darkened. With a single slash, she injured the few people in front of her.

As he fought, he pinched the horse's belly. Lightning immediately began to run, neither fast nor slow, following her master's movements.

Mu Qianyu pursed her lips, she did not want to talk to the man.

This person was truly strange. He ran horses while fighting.

Hugging her because she was afraid of falling off?

She had seen Xiao Chengyi's skills before.

Based on that one time when he went through the Minister Mansion, he had effortlessly brought her back to the Duke Palace under the siege of the crown prince.

She knew that this person wasn't weak.

But seeing the sword in Xiao Chengyi's hand today, she had a completely different understanding of him.

The sword in his hand was neither fast nor slow, yet he had never failed. It was as if he had already calculated every thrust.

The Longsword in his hand flew around, and although it was not fast, its aura was strong enough.

Mu Qianyu looked at him quietly, only to see his jade-like eyes, deep and unfathomable, with an expression as calm as the wind.

It was as if what he was facing wasn't a group of assassins, but ordinary martial arts spars.

She had met a lot of opponents in the martial arts world, from the various schools and schools to the top experts.

But no one gave her a feeling as deep as he did.

Looking at his indifferent expression, she suddenly wanted to ask, in this life, was there anything he cared about?

In the past few days, she had interacted quite a bit with him, but she still could not tell who he was.

It was as if he didn't care about anything at all. It was as if he knew everything.

With the aura of the black clothed man, Mu Qianyu knew that these people were all ordinary killers, and were not worth mentioning.

Dealing with them with Xiao Chengyi was simply making a big deal out of nothing.

As a result, she was not worried about Xiao Chengyi's safety, and even more so, was not worried that something would happen to her.

She wanted to see when this person would be able to put away his relaxed appearance.

Being stared at by the person in his embrace the whole time, Prince Li's hands became sluggish, immediately lowering his eyes. Looking directly at the pair of clear and cold eyes, he curiously sized himself up.

Although her beautiful eyes were cold, they still held a trace of emotion.

The corner of Xiao Chengyi's lips suddenly hooked up as he started laughing.

Mu Qianyu was startled, then looked at him with a happy smile, suddenly realizing in her heart, that the man's smile was actually so pretty.

He easily noticed the instantaneous change.

He seemed to have sensed her thoughts, and suddenly jumped up with her on his arms as he stepped on the Horse Back.

The Longsword in her hands did not stop, her movements was still as graceful and beautiful as before.

He stabbed out a few times, but it was extremely stable and fast.

In the next moment, the two of them landed on the ground safely while wailing in pain behind them.

Mu Qianyu hurriedly turned her head to look, and only then did she realize that Xiao Chengyi's one sword strike had directly defeated all the remaining people.

All of a sudden, he was stunned. What a powerful sword technique.

"What's wrong?"

Xiao Chengyi kept his sword and rubbed her head, his tone was warm.

Mu Qianyu frowned, "Don't rub my head, it's as if I'm your pet."

She used to have a cat, and she liked to rub its head.

Now she felt like the cat.

"Is that so?"

Hearing this, Xiao Chengyi could not help but laugh lightly, "This king has never had a pet before, so there's no harm in trying."

Hearing that, Mu Qianyu exploded.

What did that mean? Raising her as a pet?

However, before she could get angry, Xiao Chengyi had already changed the topic.

"Who do you think sent these people here? What's their purpose?"

"Of course it's that unreliable father of mine who sent people to kill this daughter who had disgraced him."

Mu Qianyu didn't even think about it much.

This group of people didn't have extreme kung fu skills; they were just ordinary assassins.

She had only revealed her identity to Zheng Qingran last night, and today, she had actually met a killer.

Was it not sent by the old man, or was it sent by someone else?

"Yes."

Xiao Chengyi nodded his head, tacitly agreeing.

Mu Qianyu frowned, losing martial arts was truly troublesome.

It was fortunate that she came out with this man, otherwise, she wouldn't even be able to defeat an ordinary killer.

From the looks of it, he was going to be a cowardly turtle in the prince's mansion.

"Don't worry, This King will send someone to protect you in the future."

He seemed to see through what she was thinking.

Mu Qianyu looked up, a little surprised, "Are we very familiar with each other?"

Yet another sentence …

Xiao Chengyi didn't want to tell her anymore.

This woman's brain really isn't normal.

"Third brother, what's going on? Where did this assassin come from?"

When Xiao Chengjue and the rest rushed over, they only saw the pile of corpses on the ground.

Luo Jin immediately knelt down to receive his punishment.

Master had encountered an assassin, but they were not here.

Sui Yang didn't think so.

Seeing the black clothed man lying on the ground, his abilities shouldn't be that great, but the Prince must have personally made a move for the sake of the Lady Mu.

In fact, Luo Jin and Luo Yu were also very surprised, even if they did not follow along.

But the Prince's Dark Guard was still by his side, so why would the Prince personally make a move?

The Dark Guard that was hidden in the shadows didn't understand anything at all.

How could these small fry be worthy of their prince's help?

"Someone sent by Minister Mansion?"

Nangong Lin pondered for a moment, lowered his voice, and set his gaze on Mu Qianyu.

"Yes."

Xiao Chengyi nodded.

"Oh yeah, why didn't you leave a live one just now?"

Mu Qianyu suddenly looked at him and asked.

Xiao Chengyi looked at her, and said indifferently: "Zheng Ji is not that stupid."

Even if it was a normal killer, if they left him alive, they definitely wouldn't reveal Zheng Ji.

Zheng Ji clearly knew that Mu Qianyu was by his side, so he must have done something to make sure everything went well.

Otherwise, the moment a weakness fell into his hands, Zheng Ji would be finished.

After working as an official letter for so many years, Zheng Ji was not that stupid.

"If he can't kill me today, he will regret it in the future."

Mu Qianyu pulled Lightning, and without a word, he got on her horse and continued to ride.

As far as she knew, there was a mountain range ahead. The scenery was very beautiful, and it was the most suitable place to enjoy the scenery.

Although it wasn't the time to check out the green leaf, it was still a good time to take a look.

Walking on the quiet path, the two sides of the road were rolling mountains, as far as the eye could see.

It was not yet spring, and the trees around him were still a scene of desolation and desolation. There was nothing on the bare branches.

But Mu Qianyu actually liked this kind of scene where the chilliness was about to disappear but wasn't done yet.

It was like looking forward to the dawn.

After a while, you'll see the sun.

But...

Her heart suddenly sank. She had never seen sunlight before.

"What are you thinking about?"

Xiao Chengyi's cold voice suddenly interrupted her thoughts.

She suddenly turned her head, calmly looked at Xiao Chengyi, and asked: "What is the meaning of your life?"

He asked this question in a confused manner.

Probably no one in the world would dare to ask the Prince Li like this anymore.

Doesn't that mean what you're alive for?

Think deeper if she's saying you shouldn't be alive.
