Turning around, Qin Mu stood up and looked at Hu Ji who had a charming face. He asked softly,""Hu Ji, how long have I been unconscious?"
" Hmm…" Hu Ji pondered for a moment before replying,""Replying to Daren, Daren should have been unconscious for six hours. It's already late at night.”
"Oh!" Nodding his head slightly, Qin Mu was about to wave his hand to signal Hu Ji to go back and rest when his ears suddenly twitched as if he had sensed something.
"Who is it?"
Qin Mu's gaze turned sharp, and he took the opportunity to pull Hu Ji into his embrace to protect her.
Zhao Ji, who was protected in Qin Mu's embrace, was still in a daze. She thought that Qin Mu was looking for an excuse to do something. She was still a little nervous, but she didn't have much resistance.
"Creak!"
Just as Hu Ji was letting her imagination run wild, the door to Qin Mu's room was slowly pushed open.
As the door was pushed open, the manager of the Heavenly Fragrance Tower slowly pushed the door open and entered. Not only that, but the old man also had a respectful expression on his face.
When he saw the old man, Qin Mu's gaze froze." Why? What's the matter?"”
When the old man came to the room, he didn't say anything and knelt down on one knee, facing Qin Mu.
Then, the old man's hoarse voice entered Qin Mu's ears.""Replying to Milord, this subordinate is here to deliver the Prime Minister's decree to Milord.”
"Oh!"
Qin Mu responded with a calm expression and didn't say anything else, waiting for the old man's reply.
At this moment, Qin Mu was slightly shocked.
Because in Qin Mu's perception, the old man who looked ordinary before had unfathomable strength.
It seemed that he had underestimated the manager of the Heavenly Fragrance Tower and the strength of the person in the net.
The old man in front of him had the strength of a first-class expert in the pugilistic world at the very least. He was even stronger than him.
On the other side, seeing that Qin Mu didn't speak, the old man hurriedly lowered his head and said respectfully,"
"Milord, the Prime Minister has just issued an order to behead the Northwest Commanding General, Yang Feng, within three days.”
"I believe this shouldn't be a difficult matter for you, right?”
As he spoke, the old man took out a secret letter from his bosom and handed it to Qin Mu." This is the trusted aide of Lord Prime Minister!”
When he passed the secret letter to Qin Mu, the old man couldn't help but glance at Hu Ji who had been hiding in Qin Mu's embrace, and a trace of bafflement flashed in his eyes.
After receiving the letter, Qin Mu didn't open it. He just looked at the old man coldly and said,""The letter has been delivered. You can go now.”
Hearing this, the old man did not dare to stay any longer. He only bowed slightly before turning around and leaving the room.
However, when he was leaving, Qin Mu caught a glimpse of the shock in the old man's eyes.
After the elder left, Qin Mu let go of Hu Ji.
"Go back to your room first."
Qin Mu said softly and didn't look at Hu Ji anymore. He turned around and went to the candle to open the secret letter.
The words in the letter were very simple. There were only two simple sentences.
"Yang Feng's head!"
"Someone from the palace!"
The handwriting was vigorous and powerful. From the handwriting, one could see that the person who wrote the letter had an extraordinary spirit.
Putting away the secret letter, Qin Mu raised his head and stood with his hands behind his back. He looked up at the bright moon outside the window with an inexplicable gaze.
It seemed that Lu Buwei had some doubts about him not going to the palace for many days.
As for Yang Feng's head, he didn't know what Lu Buwei was thinking. Why would he send him to assassinate this Northwest General at this time?
Could it be that Lu Buwei had sensed something?
That old man seemed to have suspected him just now. Could it be that he had given himself away?
When he thought of this, Qin Mu's eyes focused.
The current him could not make the slightest mistake. As long as there was the slightest mistake, it would be a land of eternal damnation.
………………
At the same time, in a luxurious mansion in Xianyang.
In the study of this mansion, two people were currently chatting.
"Are you sure that your investigation is correct? Is his strength really inferior to yours?”
At this moment, a dignified middle-aged man looked at the old man kneeling on one knee in front of him and said.
If Qin Mu was here, he would definitely be able to recognize that the old man in front of him was the manager of Heavenly Fragrance Tower.
The dignified middle-aged man was the current Prime Minister of Great Qin, Lu Buwei!
" Yes, Lord Prime Minister. Although my strength is not as good as those top ranked assassins in the network, my strength is not ordinary either. If my strength is not as good as mine, I will know immediately. It's just that…it's just that…"
As the old man spoke, a hint of hesitation appeared on his face.
"But what?"
Lu Buwei's face turned cold as he looked at the old man.
Seeing this, the old man lowered his head even more and said,"
"Lord Prime Minister, ever since Lord Prime Minister instructed me to keep an eye on Qin Mu, I have been paying attention to his movements.”
"The day before yesterday, when Qin Mu came to Heavenly Fragrance Tower for the first time, this subordinate indeed didn't feel any fluctuations of internal strength from his body.”
"You have to know that even a half-step grandmaster wouldn't be able to hide all of his internal strength, and Qin Mu naturally wouldn't be in the grandmaster realm.”
"This subordinate was originally very sure of my thoughts, but when this subordinate saw Qin Mu today, he discovered that Qin Mu's internal strength had actually appeared again. This made this subordinate become suspicious of my previous guess.”
"Hmm?"
Hearing the old man's words, Lu Buwei's face turned even colder." Oh, are you trying to tell me that what you said before was all bullshit?”
"This…Subordinate…"
The old man lowered his head and remained silent.
Seeing this, Lu Buwei closed his eyes and waved his hand,"
"Alright, you can leave first."
"Remember, continue to monitor Qin Mu closely. Do you understand how important Qin Mu is to me?”
"Yes, sir!"
The old man replied and quickly bowed out of the Prime Minister's study.
After the old man left the study, Lu Buwei stood there in silence.
After a while, Lu Buwei looked at the bright moon outside the window and said slowly,"
"As for whether this Prime Minister is overthinking things, it will depend on your next performance, Qin Mu!”
"I hope you won't disappoint me!”
