When Mu Lei saw Mu Zixin smiling at him, the unknown fire in his heart burned even more. Do you think a flattering(?) smile is enough?Mu Zixin forgot about his slap before, but he, Mu Lei, didn't forget it. Without that slap, it would be hard to say whether he would pass the exam or not. Even if it was a blessing in disguise, Mu Lei would not be grateful to him!

"What are you laughing at? Could it be that your ears don't work well as you get older?" Mu Lei expected that he would not dare to reveal his identity as an immortal cultivator in front of everyone. Didn't he see that he never used his identity as an immortal cultivator after that time? ?It can be seen that either his spells failed or he was a mortal from the beginning to the end, otherwise ordinary people would have left him unable to eat.

To say that Mu Lei's brain circuit is also quite strange, others are too lazy to deal with him, he thought that they have no real skills, so he insisted on getting together to seek abuse.

Because Mu Lei's voice seemed a bit abrupt on the quiet street, the examinees all looked sideways to see who was shouting. Looking at it this way, they really didn't recognize him. He was dressed well, and he didn't know which family it was. Following the principle that one thing more is worse than one thing less, everyone quietly watched the excitement, as a distraction before the exam.

Mu Zixin still had a gentle smile, but he didn't know until the smile reached his eyes, "Mu Lei, have you forgotten how old you are?"

Mu Lei's expression turned ugly when he heard that, he was older than Mu Zixin, and Mu Zixin used to call him cousin...

Just as Mu Lei was about to explode, he saw many candidates present. After taking a few deep breaths, he managed to suppress his anger. "You are not qualified to take the imperial examination. If you go in, you are flouting the law. We are relatives, let me remind you."

Mu Zixin tied up the ox cart, paid the rent, and walked towards the gate of the examination room with a big bag on his back. Seeing that he ignored him, Mu Lei became even more angry. It must be "good-looking" to see the embarrassed expression on this face that never puts people in the eyes.

The official who registered the candidates said impatiently: "Name."

"Mu Zixin." Mu Zixin said lightly.

Hearing the name, the official suddenly raised his head, his eyes sparkled, as if he saw gold, he hurriedly got up and smiled, "I've been waiting for you for a long time, this way please."

Mu Lei glared at Mu Zixin in disbelief, and asked sharply, "He married a beautiful woman!"

The official sized up Mu Lei, and said displeasedly, "Who are you?"

No matter how many doubts and unwillingness Mu Lei had in his heart, he could only suppress it first, and said in a low voice: "Student Mu Lei."

"Oh, you have been disqualified from the exam, so you don't have to come." The official said lightly.

"Why?!" Mu Lei was completely dumbfounded, shouldn't Mu Zixin be thrown out at this time?

The official gave him a look, and the soldiers next to him stepped forward and pulled the man away, throwing him on the street, causing a burst of laughter and sighs.

Mu Zixin didn't give Mu Lei a look, and followed the officials in front. The route didn't seem to be an examination room... The two beautiful eyebrows were slightly twisted together. What exactly did Wen Hedi want to do?

Arriving at an elegant compartment, there is a pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the sandalwood table inside, as well as a test paper.

Mu Zixin looked at the official who brought him here, "This is?"

"There is an order from the sage, and Mu Xiucai is taking the test here." The official quickly explained that anyone who can make the emperor break the rules must be curry favor.

"Oh." Just as Mu Zixin was about to go in, he suddenly remembered something, handed the big bag forward and asked, "Do you need to check it?"

The official glanced at it, then shook his head quickly: "No need, I believe that Mu Xiu has the ability to make the Holy One look up to him, so he won't do such a thing."

Mu Zixin didn't say much anymore, just gave him a meaningful smile, sat down at the table, unfolded the test paper and read it, he couldn't help frowning, this... After thinking for a moment, he took a pen and wrote on the answer paper in a smooth manner.

Ye Luochen in the bamboo hut received a letter from the prince, this time it was not sent by the white pigeon, but by his cronies.

"Mrs. Mu, leave immediately after reading the letter." A tall man with ordinary facial features dressed as a servant said seriously.

Ye Luochen frowned, opened the letter, looked at ten lines at a glance, probably meant that Emperor Wenhe wanted to send secret guards to kill him, captured Mu Ziyan and threatened Mu Zixin to do things for him, and told them to follow the secret guards he sent. , the last one signed was the prince's private seal, red, small but very eye-catching, and there is a "2" on it, which is the secret code of the prince and Mu Zixin.

"Ziyan is still outside." Ye Luochen didn't care about picking up things, put the vegetable pot in his hand and walked out of the bamboo forest.

An Yi took him into the carriage that had been parked outside the bamboo forest long ago. Mu Ziyan was about to have a class with a group of children, and Ye Luochen pulled them away when he got up.

"There's no class, you guys review what you have taught before, and go home. Ye An, you go to Brother Da's house to stay for a few days." Ye Luochen dragged Mu Ziyan away after speaking, feeling very flustered. It's very similar to what he looked like before he was hit by a prickly pear in his previous life.Is this a foreknowledge of danger?

Mu Ziyan wanted to ask what happened, but when he saw Ye Luochen's flustered look, he chose to shut up, and followed obediently into the carriage.

When the carriage drove out of Quanshui Village for three miles, it was followed by five or six tails at some point.

An Yi frowned slightly, and accelerated the speed of the carriage, didn't he come too fast?Fortunately, it is not far from the safe zone.

Ye Luochen lifted the curtain and looked back, damn it!To send so many hidden guards over to kill him, doesn't that think highly of him?

Mu Ziyan also took a look, and was taken aback by the shining sword.Xiaoguai sensed the danger, poked his head out of his arms to look, and immediately withdrew his little head. How could those people be more terrifying than demons and monsters?Please forgive it for living for so long and not facing murderous intent so directly.

The carriage ran desperately, and the hidden guards behind were chasing after him, throwing out a few hidden weapons from time to time. Of course, An Yi was not just for nothing, so he took out his big knife and knocked down the four corners of the hidden weapons.

With a sigh of relief, several hidden guards tried their best to catch up with the slowed down carriage, and surrounded the carriage in a short while.

An Yi took out the signal bomb and fired it, a red lotus exploded in the air.The hidden guards surrounding the carriage exchanged glances, and without saying a word, they rushed forward with their big knives in hand, four of them entangled An Yi, and the other two slashed at Mu Ziyan and Ye Luochen who were in the carriage.

Ye Luochen pursed his lips tightly, hugging the big knife that Mu Ziyan narrowly escaped, the little boy gathered his strength, poked his head out and sprayed a mouthful of blue flames at the dark guard who was rushing towards him.

"Ah—" One of the hidden guards covered his eyes and fell down, while another cleverly kicked his horse's ass hard.

"Hey——" the horse neighed, and ran wildly in fright. Ye Luochen firmly grasped the side of the carriage with one hand, and protected Mu Ziyan with the other hand, preventing him from hitting his head.

Mu Ziyan grabbed the side of the carriage, trembling in his heart.After An Yi dealt with the two hidden guards, he looked back and saw that the carriage ran away, ignoring other things, and went after it with all his strength.

The crazy horse was rampaging, Ye Luochen didn't know how to control the horse, he swayed from side to side in the carriage, almost passed out after being hit, his stomach was churning.

"Sister-in-law...will we die?" Mu Ziyan asked in fear, his voice was broken because of the unstable carriage.

"No." Ye Luochen replied decisively, he had already died once, how could he die inexplicably again?If he died again, he would strangle God!

After hearing Ye Luochen's words, Mu Ziyan felt a little relieved, but he was still afraid.

"Whoosh, whoosh—" Dozens of sharp arrows came through the air, and the horse became even more frantic. An Yi barely jumped into the carriage, his arm was scratched by an arrow, and there was a bloodstain on his gray clothes.

There is still an ambush here... Ye Luochen frowned, the old emperor really spent all his money to kill him.

An Yi's lips turned white, the wound on his arm was a bit black, and the arrow was poisonous... The carriage ran towards the edge of the cliff under the guidance of the hidden guards behind. One, but the answer of who to save first is self-evident.

Ye Luochen also understood the current situation, and pushed Mu Ziyan over cooperatively, "Jump!"

Mu Ziyan fell into An Yi's arms, was hugged by An Yi and rolled to the side, got out of the carriage, and the next moment, the carriage fell off the cliff.

"Sister-in-law—"

Seeing that the carriage fell, the dark guards who were chasing after him stopped shooting arrows and went to catch Mu Ziyan instead.

An Yi was dizzy, his fingertips turned purple, and he wanted to get up but could do nothing. Before the surrounding guards had time to make a move, several saber lights flashed by, and the six guards died without even resisting.

"An Yi, it's time for you to go back to the Dark Guard Camp for retraining." A tall and thin man said coldly.

"Yes." An Yi finished speaking weakly and then fell down. The man pinched his mouth, poured a bottle of potion into it, and let the two people behind him take him away.

Mu Ziyan stared at the cliff with his eyes wide open, trembling all over, and muttered to himself, "How... no, it's impossible, my sister-in-law won't die..."

"Take him back." The man glanced at Mu Ziyan and said, although one died, it was just a jade man, so it should be fine.

When Mu Ziyan heard the words, he tried his best to break away from the man's hand: "No! I'm going to find my sister-in-law!"

The man said coldly: "With such a high cliff, it is impossible to survive after falling with the carriage, unless a miracle happens."

"No... sister-in-law will be fine..." Mu Ziyan ran towards the cliff with a hoarse voice, glanced at the bottom of the cliff shrouded in clouds and mist, and collapsed powerlessly on the ground, looking at the ground under his feet in a daze, crying when he wanted to cry Not coming out, the infinite grief turned into a "sister-in-law".

In the past, Ye Luochen would reluctantly agree, but now only his own echo is left floating on the cliff.

Xiaoguai rubbed his eyes in Mu Ziyan's arms, and tears flowed from his blue eyes, it didn't want Ye Luochen to be sad, it just couldn't bear the delicious food he made, really, really ...

The man frowned, seeing that something was wrong with Mu Ziyan, he knocked the man unconscious with a knife in his hand, and handed him over to another hidden guard. Regardless of whether there was a miracle or not, the man left a few people to go down the cliff to find someone. A person departs like a ghost...
