C444 I Can't Lose
"Your Highness, is there anything else?" Liu Wenn turned around and asked.
Mu Han stepped forward and said solemnly, "The assassin found out that the outside world is in chaos. The Minister should not go back today. He should stay here for the night and wait until the storm has settled before going back to the Prefecture. "
Liu Wenn sighed and shook his head. "You don't have to worry, Your Highness. If those people really want to harm me. . . I'm afraid they won't be the only ones who will die today. "
Seeing that Mu Han was still worried, Liu Wenn could only let out a bitter laugh. "Forgive me for being blunt, but it would be safer for me to stay in Your Highness's Limitless Palace than to return to my own residence. "
Mu Han's words woke him up from his dream. He sighed and said, "It is Mu Han who is foolish. He actually neglected such an important point and almost harmed you. I hope you can forgive me. "
"Your Highness, you are doing this for my sake. I am flattered, but I do not dare to blame you. " Liu Wenn hurriedly waved his hand and said his goodbyes, "There are still official matters that have yet to be settled in the residence. It is not convenient to stay for long. Crown Prince, this old official will retire!"
"Sir, please wait. Allow me to send someone to send you off!" Mu Han called Liu Wenn again and suddenly said with a voice transmission outside the hall, "Chang Yuan! Chang Qing!"
"Your subordinate is here!"
Not daring to delay, Chang Yuan and Chang Qing immediately appeared in the hall.
"The two of you have been following me for quite some time. You are someone I trust quite a bit. Today, I will arrange a mission for you. "
Mu Han looked at the two of them and said seriously, "I heard that the outside world is in chaos. The situation is not peaceful. Both of you are very strong. I will leave the safety of the Minister to you. Remember, you must send him back to his residence safely!"
"Yes, Sir!" Chang Yuan and Chang Qing quickly stood up and waved at Liu Wenn. "Minister, please!"
Liu Wenn smiled and nodded at the two. Just as he was about to step out of the hall, he heard a furious shout. "Who is it?!"
Mu Han could tell that it was Guxing's voice. He immediately rushed out of the hall and saw Guxing chasing after the two figures with all his might. He couldn't help but call out, "There's no need to chase after them. Yeh, please return quickly!"
These two mysterious men obviously had extraordinary Light-body Techniques. With Guxing's speed, it was difficult for him to catch up with them in a short period of time. Seeing the distance between them getting bigger and bigger, Guxing was just about to put in more effort when he heard Mu Han's voice. From his tone, it seemed that he did not care about these two people at all. Guxing stopped his footsteps and turned around to return at high speed.
At this time, Mu Han had already learned about what had happened from Chen Che and Chen Che. It turned out that after they had a tour of the palace, when they came back, they saw two unfamiliar men hiding behind the pillars outside the palace. They seemed to be secretly eavesdropping on something, which was why the scene just now happened.
"Mr Mu, are we really not going to fight each other if we let those two go?"
When they returned to the crowd, Guxing frowned and asked.
"It doesn't matter. These two men are definitely Yan's spies. There's no need to worry about them. " Mu Han looked in the direction where they disappeared and quickly ordered the guards, "It's not safe here anymore. Chang Yuan and Chang Qing, you two should send the Minister back to the residence. "
Liu Wenn knew that there would be a bloody storm in the palace and he would only be a burden if he stayed. He did not delay any longer and cupped his hands at the guards before leaving under the protection of Chang Yuan and Chang Qing.
After sending Liu Wenn away, Mu Han looked at the darkening sky. He let out a long sigh and entered the hall. Guxing and the others followed him into the hall and found a seat. However, seeing that Mu Han still had a lot on his mind, he tactfully didn't disturb him. From the current situation, it was not difficult to deduce that Mu Han had completely broken off relations with the Martial King's side. Currently, both sides were desperately gathering their forces to prepare for the battle for the throne. The outcome of the battle might be decided tonight.
The one who suffered the most in this battle was Mu Han himself. Currently, there was no room for negotiation between him and Mu Yan. This also meant that no matter who won or lost this battle, he would lose his beloved younger brother.
Besides this matter, there was another matter that made him extremely vexed. It had been a few hours since Green Dragon and the others had gone, but there was still no news of them. He didn't know how things were going, but his eyes faintly swept across Guxing and the others on his right. Mu Han let out a sigh. He had no other choice. Everyone's lives were in his hands. This battle. . . He must not lose!
As if he could feel his determination, a black shadow rushed towards him in the next moment. Mu Han immediately recognized that this was a kind of bird that his subordinate Azure Dragon had specially trained to be in charge of communications, the Lightning Bird. It was many times faster than an ordinary carrier pigeon, so it was easier for it to be intercepted. Thus, he hurriedly stopped Gu Xing and the others who were about to make a move as if they were facing a great enemy. He quickly caught the Lightning Bird and removed the tube from its leg. When he took out the note, he saw the words written on it.
"We did not disappoint Your Highness. We have successfully persuaded Four Great Generals to send troops. The army is expected to arrive at the Imperial Palace in two hours. Your Highness, please give us the next order!"
Mu Han was immediately overjoyed. He hurriedly took a brush and a letter, rolled it into a tube, and then put the Lightning Bird back. Seeing the Lightning Bird fly into the air and disappear a few times, Mu Han stood up and shouted, "Someone come!"
Before he finished speaking, another two guards with sabers quickly entered the hall. They knelt on one knee and said, "Your subordinate is here!"
Just like Chang Yuan and Chang Qing, these two men were Mu Han's most trusted personal guards besides the four Shadow Guards. One of them was called Song Yi, and the other was called Song Ming. Their eyes slowly swept across the two men. Mu Han said with an irresistible tone, "I order the two of you to stay here. Gather all of our men and wait outside the palace within two hours. Do not make any mistakes! "
Sensing that the situation was urgent, Song Yi and Song Ming immediately said, "Yes, master!" and disappeared at a high speed.
Seeing that everything had been arranged, Mu Han no longer had any worries in his heart. He turned around and cupped his fists at Guxing and the others, then said solemnly, "Two brothers. The final battle was about to begin, and all grudges would be settled today. No matter what the outcome of this battle is. . . Mu Han would never forget your great kindness. Here, please accept Mu Han's bow!"
As he spoke, he bent down. After bowing to Guxing and Mr Mu, Guxing and the others were shocked and said, "Mr Mu, this cannot be done. Quickly get up!"
However, Mu Han's stubbornness couldn't be resisted in the end. After receiving a deep bow from him, the three of them looked at each other and smiled. They didn't say anything else. Instead, they clenched the swords in their hands at the same time. The entire palace was filled with a murderous atmosphere.
