"No, no, no." Shaking his head, Qin Mu laughed dryly." I was just surprised to see you suddenly. I naturally welcome you."”
The Startling Salamander rolled its eyes at Qin Mu before looking at the courtyard and sighing,""Sigh, it's really not bad. A quiet courtyard.”
"Why? You like it too?" As he spoke, Qin Mu smiled." How about this? There are quite a few empty rooms in the courtyard. Why don't you stay for a few days?"”
Qin Mu was just joking, but he didn't expect the Startling Salamander to agree.
"Good!" Nodding his head heavily, Startling Salamander continued,"I happen to have a mission, so it's fine for me to stay for a day.”
Seeing the Startling Salamander agree so easily, Qin Mu couldn't help but feel curious.
However, right at this moment, the electronic voice of the system rang out in Qin Mu's mind.
"Ding! In the face of Lu Buwei's mission, the host can make the following choices!”
"Option 1: Agree to go and obtain a divine-tier gift bag!”
"Option 2: Refuse it directly and obtain a peerless sword!”
When he heard this, Qin Mu's gaze froze.
At this moment, Qin Mu's mind was filled with countless thoughts.
According to his heart, he was naturally unwilling to go. After all, there were several beauties in his residence, and he had a sense of crisis that often accompanied him recently.
But…
If he didn't go, it wouldn't be easy for him to report to Lu Buwei.
At this moment, the Startling Salamander's watery eyes were staring at Qin Mu, watching the changing expressions on his face.
Being stared at by the Startling Salamander, Qin Mu finally came back to his senses.
Waving his hand, Qin Mu changed the topic." Alright, tell me, what mission do you have this time?”
Seeing that they were talking about serious matters, Startling Salamander did not continue with the previous question. After pondering for a moment, she said,"This time, the Prime Minister ordered us to go to Zhao Gao's border city to assassinate the local city guard general, Zhao Qin.”
"This…are we going to set off immediately?" Qin Mu asked.
" It's better to leave as soon as possible," the Startling Salamander said, nodding." Zhao Qin has already threatened the Prime Minister's position."”
"What?!" Qin Mu cried out in shock and looked at the Frightening Salamander curiously.""Startling Salamander, you said that a mere Zhao Qin could actually threaten the current Prime Minister of the Great Qin Empire. What is going on?”
" This..." The Startling Salamander hesitated, as if it didn't know how to explain.
After a long while, under Qin Mu's burning gaze, the Startling Salamander slowly opened its mouth.""Chen, you should know that the Prime Minister has always been in contact with the State of Zhao. He has even transported some supplies from the State of Qin to the State of Zhao. The person who received him was Zhao Qin. However, Zhao Qin's relationship with the Prime Minister has recently reached a freezing point, so…"
Shocking Salamander didn't finish his sentence, but Qin Mu could roughly guess it.
Zhao Qin must have evidence of Lu Buwei's betrayal. Now that the two of them had fallen out, Lu Buwei would get rid of this scourge regardless of whether Zhao Qin would betray him or not.
Even though this matter would not affect Lu Buwei much, he would not allow any blemish to appear on his body.
Thinking of this, Qin Mu looked at the Startling Salamander and nodded.""Alright, I'll pack up now. Tomorrow, I'll go to the border city of Zhao with you.”
"Yes!" The Startling Salamander nodded.
However, what the Frightening Salamander didn't know was that Qin Mu was scheming in his heart.
…………
When night fell, Qin Mu stood in front of the window of his study. He looked at the bright moon with his hands behind his back and fell into his own thoughts.
He had made several plans to leave Xianyang tomorrow, but a trace of uneasiness had always crossed his heart.
For some reason, Qin Mu felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at him the entire day. That sense of danger never receded.
Sighing heavily, Qin Mu sighed emotionally." Sigh, if I were still alone, I wouldn't have to worry so much.”
"Why? Why would a dignified Network Heaven Assassin be so anxious?”
Suddenly, a delicate and pleasant female voice sounded.
He turned around and looked in the direction of the voice. Qin Mu saw the Startling Salamander in a light purple dress standing quietly outside the study room.
However, the Startling Salamander had already removed the veil that covered half of its face, revealing a peerless appearance that stunned the world.
Looking at the Startling Salamander, Qin Mu couldn't help but be stunned.
Even though he had seen peerless beauties like Hu Ji and Duanmu Rong, Qin Mu was still stunned when he saw the peerless face of the Startling Salamander.
Seeing Qin Mu's appearance, the Startling Salamander's face revealed a faint blush, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Looking at Qin Mu, the Startling Salamander laughed and said,""Hehe, I thought you wouldn't care much about my face. After all, you have so many beautiful women in your family.”
Only at this moment did Qin Mu come back to his senses.
Scratching his head awkwardly, Qin Mu laughed dryly."Hehe, a graceful lady is a gentleman's match. This is human nature. Jing Li, don't laugh at me.”
The Startling Salamander smiled and waved his hand." Don't say such useless things. You seemed to be worried about something just now. Can you tell me what you're worried about?"”
"Hey!" Sighing, Qin Mu said,"
" Since yesterday, I've always felt that there's a pair of eyes staring at me from behind, but I can't find the source. Sigh…"
"And today, you said that the Prime Minister has sent a mission. I'm afraid that if I leave Xianyang and that person wants to do something to Hu Ji and the others, I..."
When he said this, Qin Mu didn't finish his sentence.
But the Startling Salamander understood.
Taking a step forward, the Startling Salamander stood in front of the window with Qin Mu. They looked up at the bright moon and said in a faint voice,"
"Sigh, Qin Mu, you seem to have misunderstood. You have to remember that we are assassins, so we should abandon these burdens that we shouldn't be carrying and live alone. However, you have completely lost the principles of an assassin.”
After hearing the words of the Startling Salamander, Qin Mu's eyes became misty." Assassins? I'm an assassin. Shouldn't I have the seven emotions and six desires of this world?”
As he muttered to himself, Qin Mu's gaze became even calmer.
