Chapter 53 Come out, don't hide!

As Mu Changtian finished speaking, the guards who escorted them all took out the keys of the prison car, opened the door of the prison car, and released all the people from Duke Mu's mansion.

Because the escort was from the family of Duke Mu, the guards were not so strict. Usually, when they arrived at the resting place, they would open the car door and let them out to rest.

At this time, a servant walked into the inn and said to the owner of the inn: "Shopkeeper, we are going to stay here today. How many rooms does your inn have?"

The shopkeeper said with a smile on his face: "My lord, the inn is already full, you should go elsewhere."

Hearing this, the guard said dissatisfiedly: "What, the occupancy is full?"

"Are you kidding me? You don't have a store in front of the village or back. How can there be so many customers?"

The shopkeeper of the inn said: "Because there is no way in front of the village and no store in the back, people who pass this road can only stay in our inn."

Hearing this, the guard had no choice but to say: "Okay then, do you have a wider space here, let's rest tonight."

The innkeeper said: "The backyard of our inn is quite spacious, why don't you spend the night in the backyard?"

The guard thought for a while, and was about to say something, the innkeeper immediately continued: "If the official stays at our inn, all the food and drink will be free tonight, what do you think?"

Hearing this, the guard said without hesitation: "Okay then, find someone to help us feed the horse."

The shopkeeper immediately said: "Okay, I will arrange for people to feed the horses."

The guard then turned around and left the inn, came to Mu Changtian, and said apologetically, "Mu Guogong, I'm really sorry, this inn is full of people, I'm afraid you will be wronged to rest in the open air tonight."

Mu Changtian said indifferently: "It's okay, you go and do your work."

The guard immediately said, "Okay, I'll ask the shopkeeper to bring you something to eat later."

As soon as the words fell, the guard walked away. At this time, two brothers, Mu Jingwu and Mu Xingping, surrounded him.

Mu Xingping said, "Father, it's been two days and no one has done anything to us. Your Majesty is planning to let us go, right?"

Hearing this, Mu Changtian laughed, and then said, "Why are you in a hurry, aren't they here soon?"

Hearing this, Mu Xingping was startled, then looked around nervously, "Where are they, why didn't I see them?"

Mu Changtian looked at the inn in front of him and said, "They are waiting for us inside."

Hearing this, Mu Xingping and Mu Jingwu turned their eyes to the inn in front of them. At this moment, they saw a few people with half-opened windows upstairs staring at them.

Seeing that the Mu family noticed the upstairs, those people immediately closed the windows.

Seeing this scene, Mu Jingwu and Mu Xingping were shocked.

They thought that the emperor had already planned to let them go, but they didn't expect that it was just not the time yet, and those people would probably do it tonight.

Mu Jingwu then asked: "Father, what should we do now?"

Mu Changtian said: "Let's talk about it tonight, I want to see who is here."

Mu Changtian knew in his heart that the emperor would definitely send a master-level expert here this time, but it was not certain who would come.

There are many masters he can think of, and there are also many who have conflicts with him.

Soon, the sun in the sky gradually set.

Mu Changtian and the others also cheered up.

At this moment, a whistle sounded in the yard.

With the sound of the whistle, a group of people in black clothes and masks appeared in the yard.

After seeing this scene, the guards escorting Duke Mu's mansion instantly understood something, they got up quickly and ran away.

The men in black didn't stop the servants from escaping, after all, their target wasn't the servants themselves.

Those men in black took out their bows and arrows and pointed them at the people in Duke Mu's mansion.

The men of Duke Mu's mansion immediately stood up and surrounded the men and children inside. At this time, the female family members of Duke Mu's mansion were all trembling with fright and dared not move at all.

At this time, the crowd in black gradually dispersed, and a man came out from the crowd. The man took off his mask at this time, revealing his scarred face.

After seeing the man's true face, Mu Changtian sneered and said, "I thought of anyone who might come to see me off, but I didn't think of you!"

Hearing this, the man with the scar also smiled and said: "Teacher, if I hadn't come to see you off personally, how could His Majesty be willing to hand over the newly formed Dragon Guards to me to take over."

The man with the scar in front of him is called Chen Pengyi, who was single-handedly picked up by Mu Changtian, and Mu Changtian can be regarded as his mentor.

On weekdays, in order to repay his teacher's kindness, Chen Pengyi was also very kind to Duke Mu's mansion.

Even when Duke Mu's mansion was implicated in the Zhou family's rebellion a year ago, it was he who personally pleaded with Emperor Xia. In the end, Emperor Xia used the death-preventing iron scroll as offset, so he did not take action against Duke Mu's mansion.

However, what Mu Changtian didn't expect was that such a person turned out to be the one who wanted his own life.

Mu Changtian sighed and said, "It's really hard to predict people's hearts. It seems that you pleaded with the emperor to get the Mu family to hand over the death-prevention scroll. The emperor asked you to do it, right?"

Chen Pengyi said indifferently: "Teacher, it's already this time, what else is there to say about those things."

"You might as well tell me what unfulfilled wish you have, maybe the students can fulfill it for you."

Hearing this, Mu Changtian laughed and said, "Hahaha, Chen Pengyi, Chen Pengyi, I was abandoned by Lu Xingqiu today, but you never thought that one day you would be abandoned by Lu Xingqiu too! By that time, I'm afraid your end will be even more miserable than mine!"

Chen Pengyi said nonchalantly: "You don't need to worry about this, I will definitely not follow the teacher's path."

"Okay, since the teacher has nothing to say, please go all the way!"

Speaking of this, Chen Pengyi waved his hand and said in a cold voice: "Fire the arrow!"

However, at this moment, countless arrows were shot down from the roof of the inn, and the people brought by Chen Pengyi were shot by the arrows before they had time to react.

Seeing this scene, Chen Pengyi's face darkened immediately, "Who! How dare you meddle in His Majesty's affairs!"

After Chen Pengyi finished speaking, some people in red clothes jumped down from upstairs. These people were all in the realm of the fifth rank.

After seeing these people, Mu Changtian was slightly taken aback.

He actually guessed that the mysterious prince who gave them the Great Return Pill would send someone to rescue them, but he didn't expect that the people sent by the other party were all warriors above the fifth rank.

From the looks of it, that lord thinks highly of their Duke Mu's mansion.

At this time, Chen Pengyi said coldly: "Since you dare to interfere with His Majesty's affairs, you should also be prepared to die."

Then Chen Pengyi said loudly: "Come out, don't hide!"

As soon as Chen Pengyi finished speaking, two masters and several warriors appeared behind Chen Pengyi.

Seeing these people, Mu Changtian said with a smile: "Your Majesty really thinks highly of me. In order to kill me, a useless person, he actually sent three masters here!"
