Chapter 103 You Are Indeed an Evil Spirit!

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the door, he saw a person who shouldn't be here - the Ninth Prince Mu Cang.

Yan Li paused slightly, looked at the tall man standing in front of the window, and slowly closed the door: "When did the prince come?"

"Before a cup of tea." Mu Cang looked back at her, his eyebrows slightly raised, "If you don't sleep at night, are you going to be a thief?"

Yan Li walked to the brocade couch and sat down, pouring himself a cup of tea: "I have nothing to do. I went to Prince Yu's Mansion for a walk." Tianlai Novel Network

Mu Cang hummed, probably guessing her purpose of going to Prince Yu's Mansion.

"Why did the prince come to my small courtyard so late?" Yan Li looked up at him, with a bit of ridicule in her tone, "Isn't it just because of lovesickness?"

Mu Cang remembered the purpose of coming here, pursed her thin lips, and cast his deep eyes on her face, and said as if to confirm: "Our wedding should be held as scheduled, right?"

Yan Li was slightly surprised. The Ninth Prince stayed up at night and sneaked into her house just to talk about this?

After frowning and thinking for a moment, Yan Li said calmly: "Did the prince hear something?"

Mu Cang came over and sat down next to her. His eyelids were slightly drooped. He took out a tea cup and poured himself a cup of tea. His long eyelashes covered his eyes with thoughts: "Your henchmen have found this place."

This sentence is not a question, but a determined tone.

Not only did he know that her men had found this place, he might even have known that her men wanted to prevent her from getting married, so he came to ask in person.

Yan Li's eyebrows deepened slightly and she glanced at him calmly: "Is the prince always watching my little courtyard?"

"no."

"The four shadow guards around me are always elusive. Their skills cannot be said to be unparalleled, but few are their opponents." Yan Li smiled lightly, "It's really beyond my expectation that the prince learned about them so quickly. "

Mu Cang's fingers resting on the desk moved slightly, and he was silent for a while before saying, "I also have shadow guards by my side."

"Although the shadow guards come from the same clan, the shadow guards of the Mu Kingdom and the shadow guards of the South Kingdom should not be the same family." Yan Li said thoughtfully, "Unless the shadow guards around the prince are more capable, it is impossible for them to be killed in such a short period of time. I learned about Tianshu’s conversation with me.”

They are trained to be sensitive to the scent of their own kind, so Yan Li is not surprised that the shadow guards around Mu Cang know about Tianshu and the others' arrival, but if they can hear the conversation between Tianshu and her without being noticed, then the only The explanation is that the shadow guards around Mu Cang are more capable.

But Yan Li knew in his heart that the four Tianshu people were extremely talented among the Shadow Guards and had received all-round training. There were no masters in the world who could surpass the four Tianshu people - even those with strict training from other countries. Shadow Guards almost don’t exist.

At this moment, Yan Li already had some doubts about Mu Cangsheng.

Thinking of his special obsession with her and his understanding of the shadow guards around her, Yan Li had to wonder whether Mu Cang had been to the Southern Kingdom before, or even stayed in the Southern Kingdom for a short period of time?

If he had been there, what was his identity in the South? Why had she never met him?

Disguise? Hidden plot?

"What are you thinking about?" A low and clear voice rang in his ears, recalling Yan Li's thoughts.

After coming back to her senses, Yan Li counted the days in her mind. There were less than ten days left before her wedding to Mu Cang.

Maybe she should find out some truth before getting married.

"Mu Cang." Yan Li leaned on the brocade couch, her brows and eyes dyed with a bit of laziness, which made her expression more calm and calm, and her natural kingly demeanor was naturally revealed, "Have you been to the Southern Kingdom?"

It has always been her style to clarify questions as soon as possible, and she doesn't like to hold doubts in her heart.

Mu Cang was silent for a moment, then slowly raised his head to look at her: "Why do you ask?"

"There is no reason, just answer my questions." Yan Li said calmly, "You can hide it from me, but I may consider whether to continue this marriage."

When Mu Cang heard this, he pursed his thin lips and said, "The emperor granted me the marriage, but now that things have happened, you have no reason to break off the engagement."

Yan Li raised her lips: "You should know that if I really want to break off the engagement, I don't need a reason at all."

Mu Cang clenched the teacup tightly and looked at her without saying a word, his eyes as deep as a cold pool, making it impossible to see the bottom of her face at a glance.

"No one knows the skills of the four Tianshu people better than me. Rather than saying that the shadow guards around you have learned of their arrival early, I prefer to believe that you have mastered their whereabouts." Yan Li's lips curled up, The smile did not reach his eyes, "But someone who can grasp the whereabouts of the Shadow Guards...except for the great master who trains the Shadow Guards, I can't think of anyone else who can do this."

Only the mysterious Shadow Pavilion Grand Master can hide it from her eyes and ears... because the Shadow Guard has always hidden in the dark, and will only appear when the master is in danger or is summoned, and the Shadow Pavilion Grand Master is only responsible for The training of Shadow Guards rarely appears in front of everyone.

Although Yan Li could not associate the Ninth Prince, the God of War of the Mu Kingdom, with the Grand Master of the Shadow Pavilion of the Southern Kingdom, because it was almost impossible to happen, but other than that, she could not think of any other possibility.

Mu Cang tightened his grip on the tea cup.

"Assuming that you are the chief instructor of the Shadow Pavilion of the Southern Kingdom, then new questions arise. The Northern Frontier is ambitious and has been invading the Mu Kingdom for many years. You once led troops to fight against the Northern Frontier army at the border. It is impossible for you to stay in the Southern Kingdom for a long time." Yan Li picked up the teacup, but did not rush to drink it. Instead, he pondered for a moment, "And the poison in your body also makes me feel strange. I hope to get an answer."

Mu Cang lowered his eyes and stared at the tea in the cup. His noble and handsome eyebrows were indifferent like snow, and his expression was a bit unfathomable, making it impossible for people to see through his thoughts.

Yan Li waited very patiently and did not urge.

Mu Cang's reaction at this time actually told her that he had a secret in his heart. Maybe he was still thinking about how to speak, or how to continue to conceal it.

What kind of reason can he make up to fool her.

The room was silent for a long time.

Mu Cang let go of the teacup in his hand, his brows softened a little bit, and his deep voice seemed to be tinged with helplessness: "In the huge Mu Kingdom, plus the northern border, no one has dared to threaten this king for several years."

Yan Li nodded slowly: "Indeed. But there are always exceptions."

"Well, I know." Mu Cang sighed, "So I have to tell you the truth?"

Yan Li raised his eyebrows: "What do you think?"

Mu Cang's mood was a bit complicated. On the one hand, he knew that with her intelligence and sharpness, it was impossible to hide it from her. On the other hand, he felt that it was not the time to let her know the truth, so he fell silent again.
