"You stingy woman, you brought a pig to such a terrifying place …" Zhu Bajie had a deep fear of this place.

"Terrifying? "F * ck, this is my secret base. Even Chenchen hasn't been here yet. Just be contented with it!" As Chu Moxi spoke, she picked up Zhu Bajie and headed towards the Heavenly Dawn Palace.

The door that was originally shut automatically opened from the inside. Zhu Bajie, who was watching, said in disbelief, "How is that possible? Why did the door automatically open? "The last time this pig came here, that pressure did not crush this pig to death …" When he thought about how he should have felt at that time, Zhu Bajie felt a lingering fear.

"Perhaps this old lady's luck is too good to be true …" Chu Moxi curled her lips, "Zhu Bajie, you stay here. I'll go take a look and see what's going on …" Why would there be guards who wanted to capture an assassin?

Chu Moxi flew out of the painting like a nimble cat, then hid herself in a large tree in the Duke's Courtyard as she scanned her surroundings.

From afar, he saw a few panicked figures flying towards the Duke's Mansion. In front of them were five guards, and behind them were a string of servants from the Duke's Mansion who rushed over upon hearing the commotion.

When they arrived at the Duke's Courtyard, the blood guards hiding in the shadows immediately flew out to block them.

"Who are you? "He actually dares to barge into the Duke's Courtyard in the middle of the night." The blood guard's voice was laced with killing intent.

"Lord, we are the guards of the manor." Sir, we are the guards of the manor. When the guards heard the blood guards' question, they immediately explained.

"No one has entered the Duke's Mansion, you can go!" There was no warmth in the blood guard's voice.

"Please check it out, master!" The five guards in front glanced around the Duke's Mansion, seemingly unwilling to leave just like that.

"I said I didn't see anyone enter." The blood guard was getting impatient and was about to throw these people out.

At this moment, a figure flew out from the room. It was Lin Xuan. He opened his hazy eyes. He didn't know why, but he had fallen asleep on the beam.

If not for the noise coming from outside, who knows how long he would have slept.

"What's the matter?" Lin Xuan's tone was filled with authority.

"General, they say that an assassin has entered the Duke's Courtyard!" The blood guard pointed at the guards behind him.

"Oh?" Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows and swept his gaze over the five guards before saying, "For safety's sake, all of you should go and check."

"Yes …" The blood guard was preparing to leave after receiving his orders when the door to the room opened. Chu Mingjing walked out from the room and said, "If you're not sleeping in the middle of the night, then why are you making a ruckus here?"

Anyone who slept soundly and was woken up would feel unhappy!

"Duke, they say that an assassin has entered the courtyard." "Yes." Lin Mu bit his lips as he replied with a slightly guilty tone.

"You saw the assassin?" Chu Mingjing frowned.

"None …" Lin Xuan and the Blood Guards shook their heads.

"Then what are you looking for?" Chu Mingjing coldly swept over the crowd at the entrance of the courtyard and said, "Where did you come from? Go back there." After which, he coldly harrumphed and returned to his room.

As for the blood guard, he vanished into the darkness, as if nothing had happened.

The guards standing in the Duke's Courtyard looked at each other, then turned around and said, "Everyone disperse! "Disperse!"

The people behind them left one by one, and the five guards stood at the entrance to the Duke's Courtyard for a while before leaving as well.

Chu Moxi carefully hid her figure and followed behind the five guards.

She hadn't even found the blood guards or the guard in the courtyard when she came to the Duke's Mansion. How could the other guards have noticed? Fortunately, the assassin had coincidentally come to the Duke's Courtyard? Chu Moxi was not an idiot. Someone must have been up to no good in this matter.

As for the person who did this … She hoped that it wasn't the person she was thinking of …

After the five guards left the Duke's courtyard, they directly left the front courtyard and arrived at the relatively remote Blue Ripple Pavilion by the Lakeside.

At this moment, a figure walked out from behind the Jade Wave Pavilion. Chu Moxi could clearly see that it was Ling Shan's personal maid — — Zi Yuan.

"Why are you back so soon?" Zi Yuan's gaze swept over the three bodyguards.

"Miss Ziyuan, we haven't been able to enter the Duke's Courtyard at all. The blood guards have stopped us …" The five guards lowered their heads in guilt.

"The blood guards have stopped them? Is there any activity in the Duke's Mansion? " Zi Yuan was not surprised that they were stopped by the blood guards. She was more concerned about the implementation of Madam's plan.

"No. We alerted the Duke, and the Duke angrily rebuked the blood guards … "

"You guys go back first!" As Zi Yuan heard the words of the five guards, her eyebrows furrowed together.

She had to report to Madam that her plan had failed.

"Yes …" The three guards immediately obeyed.

Only then did Zi Yuan jump out of Jade Wave Pavilion and return to the Spirit Mountain Courtyard.

Chu Moxi slowly followed. Zi Yuan's strength was actually higher than Chu Moxi's, but her tracking skills were outstanding so she didn't notice it.

When the purple kite flew into the courtyard, Ling Shan was still standing there.

"Madam, the plan failed." Zi Yuan knelt down and reported.

"What?" How is this possible? "Did that girl not enter the Duke's Courtyard at all?" Ling Shan's face darkened.

She had originally decided to borrow the hand of Duke Chu to force Ling Yao out of Chu Moxi's mouth. She hadn't thought that her flawless plan would actually fail.

"Zi Yuan, you go in first." Ling Shan waved at Zi Kui.

When that girl came over, she would know whether or not she had entered the Duke's Courtyard.

"Yes." Zi Yuan immediately entered the room.

Ling Shan looked at the silvery white moonlight as she muttered to herself, "Ling Yao, ah Ling Yao, even until death, you didn't tell me that secret. It was a waste for me to spend three days at the Duke's Mansion, and I still found some clues, Ling Yao, you couldn't have imagined it, right …"

An unknown amount of time passed as a black shadow approached the Spirit Mountain Manor from the direction of the Duke's Mansion.

Just as that person stepped into the courtyard, Ling Shan noticed.

The insolence on her face disappeared in an instant, and was replaced with her gentle, water-like expression.

"Aunt Shan!" Chu Moxi's tone was tinged with regret. "The guards of the Duke's Courtyard are so powerful …"

The guards of the Duke's Mansion are very powerful? The muscles on Ling Shan's face twitched. She actually wanted to ask Chu Moxi, are you sure?

"Maybe …" The smile on her face was a little forced. She really suspected that the person in front of her was the rumored Demon Crown Princess? [The rumor is true. This girl is relying on the power of the House of the Kingdom of Chen …]

"Before I could even enter, I heard someone shouting that there was an assassin, so I immediately hid in the warehouse at the back of the Duke's Courtyard." Chu Moxi said with lingering fear.

Ling Shan almost bit off her tongue when she heard Chu Moxi's words.

You didn't go in yet because someone shouted for the assassin to be caught and you hid? So it was his own people, his movements were too fast. She wanted to say, "You are too slow."

"Then are you still going?" It would be best if he changed his schedule. It was almost daybreak.

"No, let's just leave it for tomorrow …" "Aunt Shan, I'll be leaving first." She waved towards Ling Shan before leaving in a few leaps.

"Humph, you really are the number one smart person in the Mu Spirit Empire!" "He's actually using this little girl as a shield …" At this moment, Ling Shan was quite sure that the princess, who was rumored to be extremely intelligent in the national banquet, was used by Prince Chen to divert everyone's attention.
