Linlang knew that he was very angry at the moment, so in order to prevent unnecessary trouble, she quickly stepped back a few steps and stood farther away from him, lest he go crazy and hit her.

Rong Lou was so angry that he laughed. She was the one who spoke frankly at the beginning, but now she was the one who was avoided like the snakes and scorpions. Her actions were really unexpected.

"Come here." After hesitating for a moment, he added, "I won't hit you."

Unexpectedly, what was waiting for her was a sneer. Linlang bent her lips and said without hesitation: "You look like you want to cut me into pieces. Every word I say hits you where it hurts. You must be furious at the moment. I can't beat you, so I can only stay away from you."

"I really won't hit you. Come here and I'll take you back to the inn." Rong Lou assured him again and again. Linlang stared at him for a long time with a frown, but didn't see any conspiracy on his face.

"You really won't do anything? You really just want to send me back to the inn?"

"really."

"You are the King of Jing. If you don't keep your word, you will be ridiculed by the world. Don't hit me."

Rong Lou was already a little impatient, but he still said patiently: "I don't have the time to argue with you."

Linlang shrugged her shoulders and took a few steps forward obediently, looking at him defensively. Turning the corner was the road leading to the inn. Seeing that he really had no intention of taking action and was just walking forward side by side with her, Linlang relaxed her guard.

At the same time, on Zhuque Street on the way back to Prince Rong's Mansion, Tang Mumu was extremely alert and stared at the black-clothed men who were blocking her way. There were about forty or fifty of them. It seemed that this time, Duke Anguo had spent a lot of money to snatch the account books and volumes from her. He had completely disregarded the apparent friendship and was obviously determined to break off relations with Prince Rong's Mansion.

"Hand over your things, and I can leave you an intact body."

The leader didn't even wear a mask, revealing a handsome, almost enchanting face. Tang Mumu raised her eyebrows. She didn't expect that there was such a handsome man under the command of Duke Anguo. It was a pity that the other party had no intention of letting her go back alive from the beginning. No matter how good-looking he was, he was still an enemy.

"I can give you the things, but you have to spare my life, otherwise I will suffer a lot."

When Duke Anguo takes action, the people who come must be masters who are willing to risk their lives. Tang Mumu has already figured it out in her mind that she will have no chance of winning against so many people alone. If she wants to escape unscathed tonight, she will probably face many difficulties.

When she left the house, she deliberately brought a lot of Word Spirit Gu worms with her. As long as she could find a way to put these worms into their bodies, there might be a glimmer of hope.

The moment she spoke, her hand had already reached for the wooden box containing the poisonous insect. However, the man opposite seemed to have known her thoughts. A hidden blade shot towards her waist. While Tang Mumu was dodging, the man quickly flashed to her side. The next moment, her wrist felt numb and painful. When she came to her senses, the wooden box was already in the hands of the man in black.

Tang Mumu immediately became alert. This man was very good at martial arts. He might not be able to handle it alone, not to mention that there were so many people behind him. Tang Mumu pursed his lips tightly and cold sweat had already seeped out of his forehead.

"Is this the legendary poisonous insect?" The man in black looked at the squirming larvae in the box with great interest. Before Tang Mumu could say anything, he gathered his internal energy in his palm, and the wooden box turned into debris in an instant.

Tang Mumu narrowed her eyes. She didn't expect that this person not only had excellent skills, but also had such unfathomable internal strength.

It would be great if Rong Yan was here. In terms of appearance, her prince is better than him, and in terms of martial arts attainments, A Yan can definitely compete with him.

"With your martial arts skills, you are not an unknown person. Are you going to kill me? You should at least let me die with a clear conscience. Who are you?"

The man did not answer her question, but just chuckled. His eyes suddenly became extremely fierce. Tang Mumu slightly turned sideways, fearing that he would attack again unexpectedly.

"A name is just a title. Why should a dying person care about it?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Tang Mumu felt a gust of wind rushing towards her face. She quickly dodged and retreated. Although she managed to avoid the attack, she was forced to retreat continuously by the man. She paused and quickly steadied herself. She spun on her toes and dodged sideways. Even if she used her fastest speed, she could only pull off a ring-shaped white jade from the man's waist.

The man reacted very quickly and attacked Tang Mumu again with a fierce palm wind. The latter's eyes turned cold and she immediately withdrew her moves. While bending down to dodge, she sprinkled a handful of white powder in her hand. While the man was dodging, she quickly flew away and retreated to her original position. The man also retreated to his original position, and the two stood opposite each other.

The man lowered his eyes and glanced at his waist, then the corners of his lips slightly raised. When he raised his eyes to look at Tang Mumu, a hint of admiration inadvertently flashed across his eyes.

This woman is very good.

Tang Mumu was playing with the ring-shaped white jade in her hand, on which there was a word "Yan".

"Your last name is Yan? You are so pretty, your name must be nice too, but it's a pity that you are associated with such treacherous officials. It's fate that we met. My name is Tang Mumu, why don't you tell me your name? If you tell me your name, I will return the jade pendant to you."

Tang Mumu raised the corners of her lips and smiled slowly. Her face was stunning under the moonlight, and even the man opposite her was stunned for a moment.

"Yan Xi." The man smiled helplessly the moment he said this. Beauty can really mislead people.

"Yan Xi." Tang Mumu repeated softly, making sure that there was no memory of this person in his mind. It seemed that he was not a martial artist, otherwise he would have a place in the martial arts world.

"It seems that I was right. The name is indeed nice."

"I've changed my mind now. Hand over the things and I can spare your life."

This girl is quite interesting. I’ll keep her for later fun.

"No need." Tang Mumu raised the corner of her mouth, and a short flute appeared on her fingertips. The sound of the flute lingered for a moment. The bright smile on her face made Yan Xi stunned for a moment, but during this moment, his body was no longer under his control.

"Thank you for stopping these people for me, sir. I have something else to do, so I'll go ahead."

As soon as he finished speaking, without caring about Yan Xi who was already fighting with others, Tang Mumu hurriedly flew into an alley on the side and ran to the backyard of the palace in one breath. Only when he saw the dog hole did he dare to stop and pat his chest to catch his breath.

It was so dangerous just now. Fortunately, she was more careful. Although the insect had turned into ashes, as long as it came into contact with the insect, the Word Spirit Gu would be successfully injected. She tried to delay for a long time. In addition to wanting to test the man's strength, the more important thing was to wait for the Word Spirit Gu in his body to take effect. However, the insect was destroyed, and it would be useless if she met him next time.

Without having time to think, Tang Mumu hurriedly lay down and crawled back into the palace through the dog hole. She quietly returned to Nong Yue Hall along the original route and stood on tiptoe at the gate of the courtyard for a long time. The guards outside the courtyard were still doing their duty and standing there all day. Fortunately, Jinse was very capable. She had been out for so long and no one noticed anything was wrong. Otherwise, if something happened in the mansion, she would not be able to go out to discuss it with Song Jinyu and others with peace of mind.
