"Of course, please rest assured, your highness." Shen Hanxin pursed his lips and replied humbly. When Xia Hou Bo left Mu Wang Manor, Shen Hanxin turned to look at Yin Shang Rong and Feng Ren.

"If there is a next time, you two can fight back. As long as you don't hurt Xia Hou and Yuying, I will take responsibility for the rest!" Shen Han Xin spoke solemnly, a pained look in his eyes as he looked at her.

"All of you should go down and treat her wounds. Young Master Liqing, it was all thanks to you just now. Otherwise, who knows what trouble that unruly princess would cause?" Shen Hanxin's thin lips curled up as he nodded his head in thanks.

"As a follower of the Mu Clan, he should be in a dangerous situation. If the prince is fine, he should leave in a dangerous situation." As they spoke, they tactfully left. Only Duan Mu Yan and Shen Han Xin were left in the front courtyard.

"Why are you back so early?" Could the scenery outside be inferior to the beauty of the Mu Clan? " Shen Han Xin slowly walked to Duan Mu Yan's side, her beautiful peach blossom eyes slightly narrowing. Shen Han Xin was extremely satisfied with Duan Mu Yan's previous performance. In his opinion, only this kind of girl was worthy of his identity.

"The scenery of the Mu King's Manor is indeed very beautiful. The taste of this whip stew is still fresh in Meng Yan's mind!" The light in her eyes was not as sharp as before. On the contrary, there was a hint of ridicule in her gaze.

"Ugh …" "Meng Yan is blaming me?" Shen Hanxin was stunned for a moment, and then the curve of his lips deepened. Although the lady before his was not smiling, he was still quite a speechless person when it came to crying.

"Your highness, I am very grateful. It's just that Meng Yan couldn't understand what you meant, so she came back early." A trace of gratitude could be seen in her eyes.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that he was gradually changing. If it was before, he would never care about the safety of others, but now, in his heart, there was actually a trace of worry that he couldn't let go of. He thought that he was only admiring and liking Duan Mu Yan, but he didn't know what was in his heart, and had already fallen deeply in love with her.

The candle was faint yellow in color and had a fragrant smell. On the table, a woman crossed her legs and looked disapprovingly at the candle flame on the table with a stick in her mouth.

"Master is asking you a question!" Say it! " Seeing his disciple who he had brought with him, Baili Chuxiong was so anxious that he wanted to pry open that fellow's mouth.

"Ugh …" What did Master just say? " It was only when Baili Chuxiong stood up and looked at Baili Chuxiong with a harmless gaze that his eyes suddenly opened wide. Speechless, where Chu Xiong was standing, in the next moment, he placed his hand on his forehead and sighed!

"Master is asking you, you can't have really fallen for that masked guy, right?" Baili Chuxiong returned to the main topic as he solemnly asked.

"Master! His name was Feng! "Don't blame the masked guy. He sounds so bad …" She pouted with a reluctant expression.

"He hasn't even married yet and he's already protecting us!" Did you see that? He never took off his mask, so you shouldn't think that under the mask, there was a face even more handsome than your master's when he was younger! Maybe he's ugly! " Baili Chuxiong said resentfully.

"Xiaoxiao likes that mask. She doesn't care about the mask at all. Master, who do you think Brother Feng is looking for?" Little Jun leaned back in her chair with her hands behind her back, and asked disappointedly.

"For my wife!" Baili Chuxiong said bitterly, but what he got instead was the eyes of a corpse lashing out at him.

"Are you kidding me? What do you mean it's true! We are not clear about the background of that person, so you should be more careful, don't just foolishly pounce on him, if you get hurt, Master will not let you out! " Even though Baili Chuxiong said so, he still felt extremely sorry for this disciple of his. Furthermore, he was someone who was extremely protective of his disciple.

"You don't need to come up with something small! Master, do you really want to find that person? " Little Jun returned to the main topic as she spoke with a solemn expression.

"It's rare for me to be so concerned about you, Master. I'm afraid that Master can't beat him? " Baili Chuxiong let out a cold snort. The cold glint that burst out of his eyes became increasingly stinging.

"How could a mere Xia Hou Bo be a match for Master? If it wasn't for him cheating all those years ago, the position of the current Duke Rong would already belong to Master!" However, Master does not care about those crappy pieces of metal from the Rong King's manor! " Seeing Baili Chuxiong's serious expression, Little Jun gave him the most brilliant smile.

"I don't care that much about it, but I can't let it just sit there peacefully. Since I'm here, then Xia Hou Bo shouldn't even think about having a good life!" Baili Chuxiong stroked his white beard, his eyes shining with a sharp light that did not match his age.

"Teacher, you don't need to stay with me for a little while?" Even though Xiaoxiao was 100% confident of Chu Xiong, she was still a bit worried.

"You must think that Master is old!" Baili Chuxiong did not agree with that.

"Tsk …" "Going up on the pole is not a business. You can do whatever you want. Xiaoxiao went to sleep …" Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows when she heard this. She immediately threw away the candle pick, stood up and walked towards the door.

"Little girl, that masked man's martial arts are not weak. He must have some background. Don't go head first, or your intestines will turn green in the future!" Baili Chuxiong hid the mockery in his eyes as he seriously replied. Ye Xiao was speechless. He stopped for a second and closed the door from the outside.

In the next second after Xiao Bai left, Baili Chuxiong's eyes turned cold. He then got up and changed into a set of night clothes. As the night wind blew, the windows rustled. Baili Chuxiong was no longer in the room.

Within the secret room of the Residence of Han.

"It can't be? How did he come to the Southern Yue? Did you really see it clearly? " Fu Hong Chang rushed over to Shen Hansheng, questioning him in shock.

"Do you think that This King's eyeballs are decorations? That silver mask is the only one in the world, how can This King admit my wrongs!? "I just don't know if Xiao Jingfeng only came to the south of the country because of the news, or if he just stumbled on the latter. If it was the former, then Shangguan Wuye, this is all your fault!" Shen Hansheng looked at Shangguan Wuye coldly.

"No matter what, he is still a resolute prince. If he were to die just like that, wouldn't it be a pity? Moreover, don't forget, he used his life to save Duan Mu Yan. If that girl were to become your wangfei in the future, you wouldn't be able to thank him in time!" Shangguan Wuye quibbled.

"However, he was once Mu Yan's husband. If he can take good care of Mu Yan …"

"If he can take good care of Mu Yan, what can you do …" Shangguan Wuye shrugged in reply, but in the next second, he met Shen Hansheng's murderous gaze.

"Cough, cough …" It is useless to say these things now, it would be better to think of a way to deal with Xiao Lingfeng. " Shangguan Wuye changed the topic immediately, saying solemnly.

"As long as he does not take any further action, we can slow him down a little. Xia Hou Bo is the most important person right now, compared to Shen Han Xin, that old fox is the closest to any movement. According to the news from the border, there are a few counties where the army is being trained, but there are actually signs of them returning to the Imperial City." Xia Hou Bo seemed to have already started plotting for himself. If he were to make a bold hypothesis, he even had the intention of overthrowing the South Vietnam and becoming its own king.

"What do you mean?" Shangguan Wuye raised his brows and looked at Shen Hansheng. Since he had already discovered the suspicious nature of Xia Hou Bo, he would not sit still and wait for death.

"No matter what price we have to pay to bribe those county generals!" He believed that everyone has their own weaknesses. As long as they were able to grasp the crucial points accurately, they would be able to achieve twice the results with half the effort.

"Needless to say, these things are naturally left to me?" Shangguan Wuye said resentfully.

"Other than you, This King does not trust anyone else!" Shen Hansheng narrowed his eyes slightly. Clearly, those words were exaggerated.

"I believe you!" Shangguan Wuye nodded fiercely and turned to leave. Shen Han Sheng slumped back in his chair, thinking back to the day when he saw Xiao Lingfeng and the lingering fear in his heart. If he knew that Duan Mu Yan was in the Imperial City of South Yue and that all of his subordinates had rushed here to save their master, how would he face this chaos …

The next morning, the entire house was in chaos. Within the ancestral hall, Xia Houbo tightly gripped the letter in his hand, his eyes red with anger. The ancestral tablet that was originally made of pure gold and worshiped in the ancestral hall had all disappeared, and not only that, the two similar lanterns and Night Pearls had also disappeared.

'Thousand Hand Divine Thief, stay here. 'Looking at the simple words on the note, Xia Hou Bo suddenly held it in his hand. In the next moment, the letter had turned to dust.

"Your Highness, this Thousand Hand Divine Thief seems to have never committed a crime in the Southern Yue. How could it be so daring as to offend Your Highness?" Ever since he was bestowed a marriage with the emperor, Xia Hou Bo had secretly sent Blood Goose back to the Imperial City. If Shen Han Xin dared to ignore his prestige, he would make him pay a hundred times over, but if he was willing to keep his promise, he had already decided to support Shen Hanxin. At the very least, his own daughter would become the crown prince's consort, and even the empress. He hoped that his daughter would be able to live a happy life.

"Quickly go investigate!" This king will definitely know his true colors! " Xia Hou Bo coldly said. If he had stolen Ye Ming Zhu and Liu Li's lamp and not even sparing the ancestral tablets of the Xia family, then this person must have wanted to make things difficult for him. However, Xia Hou Bo was not sure if this person was Shen Hansheng's disciple, or Shen Hanxin's servant.

As for Xia Hou Yuying and Duan Mu Yan, they had retreated from the battle the first time they crossed paths, and were seated alone in the main hall, feeling indignant in their hearts, when suddenly, Shen Han Xin's voice rang out in the main hall, and in their eyes, was the scene of Shen Han Xin and Duan Mu Yan chatting happily.

"Miss Meng Yan, please sit." Shen Han Xin said softly, a faint smile on her face. Duan Mu Yan did not refuse and slowly walked into the main hall. Just as she was about to take her seat, she was stopped by Xia Hou Yu Ying.

"Don't tell me the Mu King's Manor doesn't have any rules? How can the master and the servants eat together? " Xia Hou Yu shot a ruthless glance at Duan Mu Yan. His words were sharp and domineering, but his gaze was still as cold as ice.

Speechless, Duan Muyan pursed her lips and sat down without a care. From start to finish, she didn't even glance at Xia Hou Yu Ying.

"How preposterous! Meng Yan! Did you not hear what I just said? " Xia Hou Yuying suddenly slammed the table as she glared at Duan Mu Yan. Shen Hanxin was about to speak, but Duan Mu Yan beat her to it.

"It's not that Meng Yan didn't hear it. Firstly, Meng Yan isn't the master of this place. Secondly, the princess shouldn't consider herself to be a person. Since that's the case, Meng Yan doesn't feel that there's anything wrong with sitting together with the princess." Duan Moyan spoke indifferently, her eyes cold and emotionless.

"Meng Yan!" When Xia Hou Yu Ying heard this, she became furious. Just as she was about to flare up, Shen Han Xin leisurely walked to Duan Mu Yan's side and sat down.
