C26 Good Morning to You Peace

Night, endless night. Endless night...

Niansheng did not wait for Mu Haiyang's reply. It was not that she did not want to answer, but she could not. Even if she told him that she was not from the Anhe Country, so what? She still had to go home. She couldn't stay by his side. He could only promise to avenge him. I don't even know how I got here or how I got back. How could he simply agree to other empty words?

Day after day passed peacefully. Nianqiu didn't come to find her, and he didn't even come to visit the Anhe Country today. Mu Haiyang thought that Nianqiu would at least come to see her off. After all, no one would be able to come back on time once they went out.

The diplomatic envoy brought along heavy items first. Mu Haiyang and Nianqiu bid farewell at the city gate. They were still dressed in fine clothes and were a few miles out of the city. Both of them changed into light clothes and ordered the rest to leave first. He and Mu Haiyang would come later and then disappear on the official road.

Mu Haiyang and Niansheng were currently sitting in a small tea house in the suburbs, looking at the pedestrians walking around. Of course, there was also Yan Yi and Yan Er by the side. Mu Haiyang was already used to disappearing occasionally. In terms of appearance, Yan Yi's appearance was much easier to get along with compared to Yan Er's paralyzed face. He had the image of a warmhearted big brother next door. Yan Er, on the other hand, felt like the child next door who had autism. It was truly a perfect match for one hot and one cold.

"Niansheng, Yue Yuan is fifteen days away from Anhe. Why did you tell them that they will arrive in a month?" He asked Niansheng, who was drinking tea in confusion.

"The earlier you come, the later you come. This shows how important you are to this matter. What if you play around and miss the deadline?" Niansheng still remembered that they spent a whole month to return to the Moon Abyss from Fringe City. "And we can solve a lot of problems along the way!"

"Look, trouble is coming..." Before Niansheng could finish his words, he saw people coming out of the woods. The night clothes on their bodies were particularly eye-catching during the day. Mu Haiyang really did not understand. Was wearing night clothes in broad daylight a standard for bad people? He glanced at about five or six people. At this moment, he was surrounded by two people. The tea shop owner and the rest of the people who were resting had already run away.

"Sigh... Why did you run away?" Mu Haiyang stretched out her hand towards the direction where the tea shop owner had disappeared and anxiously called out. She muttered in her heart, I thought that the tea shop owner should be a bad guy or some martial arts master who would pull out his sword to help when he saw injustice. In such a short time, he had disappeared without a trace. It was such a pity that the hero in wuxia novels was fighting with them. Before she could react, she heard, "Kill!" One of them directly said.

Kill them directly. Wasn't this the person who knew them? Who could it be? The Empress? Or the other princes' mothers? Not allowing them to think too much, the other party had already made a move. Mu Haiyang felt exceptionally good in her heart. How could she still think about whether she knew him or not? The sword technique that she had practiced for these few months could finally be put to use. She would use these few to practice first. Of course, her opponent's martial arts was not low. It was more than enough for her to practice. She could barely deal with one of them. The rest would be taken care of by Niansheng. Yan Yi and Yan Er also joined in on the journey. Fortunately, the two of them were there. Otherwise, Niansheng would have to worry about Mu Haiyang, a half-baked person, if he wanted to deal with her. This time, he knocked her down in a few moves, and did not hurt her life. But they were all dead.

"It can't be, right?" Mu Haiyang widened her eyes and looked at the corpses. She was confused. "What the hell is this? It even has a suicide system?" As she spoke, she pinched one of the corpses' jaw to see if there was poison in his mouth.

"There's no need to look, I should have swallowed it already. They should be men of sacrifice in the martial arts world, I didn't think that they really exist..." Niansheng sat back down on the broken tea chair and spoke leisurely.

Mu Haiyang was very confused about what men of sacrifice were. Was it some sort of killer? She knew about assassins. There were so many foreign blockbusters watching. Wasn't it just to collect money to help people get rid of the disaster? "The men of sacrifice you are talking about are assassins, right?"

"Imperial Consort, it must be..." Yan Yi had been with Mu Haiyang for a long time and had a relatively good relationship with her. Yan Er was more rigid and cold. At this time, Yan Yi taught her the difference between a killer and a suicide soldier. "An assassin can be a single body or an organization. After failing the mission, you can survive without exposing your identity. If your identity is exposed, it will lead to death..." Wasn't this the same as a foreign blockbuster? A group of people came to kill him after failing the mission. Or the higher-ups wanted to clean him up.

Yan Yi continued, "If the men of sacrifice go out on missions, they will die! No matter if they succeed or not, they will die! Can Imperial Consort understand now? "

Mu Haiyang had already cursed countless times in her heart," These people are too vicious, right? They are treated as dead people when they are out on missions?" Seeing Niansheng nod his head, Mu Haiyang felt especially unpleasant in her heart. These people must be people with bitter lives. If they wanted money, they did not care about their lives. Or perhaps... If they sell it to others, they will be bought and trained to be men of sacrifice. They only accepted missions and never asked about the other party's situation, nor did they allow them to ask. They could only do missions. They would be drugged before they went on missions. When the time came, they would immediately die. Whether it was during the mission or on their way back, because they had many men of sacrifice... Of course, the price was very high, and their secrecy was far greater than an assassin's. A dead person could not reveal the secret. Besides, it was impossible for them to only take orders and want to know some secrets.

"Your ancient times are much more terrifying than my modern day..." Mu Haiyang shivered when she heard that. She even imitated the people who were praying to draw a cross and muttered, "Amen!" Niansheng saw her like this and thought that it was her family's action of offering sacrifices to the dead. Anyway, he did not understand her background, so he only treated what she did as a custom in her hometown.

"Looks like this mistress wants to kill me!" Niansheng said softly, his eyes also emitting a cold light. Usually, no matter what he did, he would take the other party's life.

"Let's go..." Mu Haiyang urged them to leave quickly. She did not want to guard the bodies. "It's too scary. Let's go. Let's go to the Anhe Country. It's safer there!"

"Imperial Consort, you are wrong again. These men of sacrifice might have been recruited by the Anhe Country." Yan Yi reminded her kindly.

It was indeed possible, especially Lyi Xuanzhi, the black-bellied prince. What could he not do? Mu Haiyang was reminded by him and thought of Lyi Xuanzhi in her heart. She really had to cut him into a thousand pieces to vent her hatred. Once the matter of the diplomatic mission was over, she had to punish him. After knowing about the diplomatic mission to Anhe, Mu Haiyang had been studying how to deal with Lyi Xuanzhi every day in her residence. She wanted to get back at him.

"It's very likely! Then wouldn't we be like turtles in a jar when we go to the Anhe Country? Captured by them? " Mu Haiyang and Yan Yi kept talking along the way. In any case, her mouth could not stop.

"Imperial Consort, can you kill them?" Yan Yi teased her. Along the way, Yan Er was still expressionless. No matter what he said, he would not laugh. He would only respond when Niansheng spoke. Only then would he show some expression. Mu Haiyang stretched out her hand and beckoned to Yan Yi. She slowed down her footsteps and quietly asked curiously, "Does Yan Er have an affair with your mistress? Er... Sleeve Break. "

Yan Yi heard her and quickly gestured for her to not speak nonsense. "Imperial Consort, don't speak nonsense. Yan Er is like this... The two of us have been following Mistress since we were young. He only listened to Mistress's words. No matter what other people say, he will turn a deaf ear... " Is this facial paralysis? He had seen stubborn people before, but he had never seen them like this, so he did not discuss the two of them with Yan Yi. He just thought that Yan Er really had facial paralysis.
