The birthday banquet of the He family gave Muchen a preliminary understanding of the major nobles in Nanshan City, and he became familiar with them. Most of the guests at the banquet expressed their sincerity or promises to Muchen.

Property, or introducing beauties, and doing everything possible to express goodwill to Muchen. These are common diplomatic methods among nobles. Muchen neither refused nor agreed, but just chatted with them about the daily life of Nanshan City and let them know.

Many nobles could not figure out what this lord was thinking.

While chatting with these nobles, Muchen could clearly sense their factions.

Among the forces in the entire Nanshan City, the only ones who can speak up and have sufficient status are the Xiao family, the Zhang family and the He family. The Xiao family and the Mu family are originally the same family, and some second-rate nobles who are attached to the Xiao family have obvious differences in their treatment of Muchen.

He has a sense of humility, his demeanor is respectful, and his words are kinder.

Although the forces belonging to the Zhang family are very respectful to Muchen, Muchen can still tell the distance between their words. Even if the Zhang family advocates Wanshan, they are only superficially polite to Muchen. The Zhang family in Nanshan City

, are considered distant relatives to the Zhang family of Qingshan City. The Zhang family of Qingshan City has a close relationship with the Murong family. In addition, the Zhang family of Nanshan City also has some intersection with the Murong family. This is destined that the Zhang family of Nanshan City will stand on the opposite side of the Zhenshan Palace.

As for the He family, Muchen couldn't see any clues. It seemed that the He family wanted to be in the middle and not help each other. They were polite enough to Muchen and showed enough goodwill, but not too close. They should be prepared to sit back and watch.

Let's fight. After all, the Zhang family is connected to Nanshan City and Qingshan City, the two cities, and has the support of the Murong family behind them. It is difficult for the He family to make a position. It is best for them not to help each other.

As for the younger generation in Nanshan City, the most famous ones are the Nanshan Erjie; Zhang Yun of the Zhang family, whom Muchen has already met, is quite capable, but not steady enough in his work, a bit arrogant, and a bit like a frog in a well; compared to that, He

He Tiancheng, on the other hand, is much more restrained and not as exaggerated as those playboys, but in terms of strength, he may be slightly inferior to Zhang Jie.

It was already late at night after this boring banquet was over. Muchen took Guan Susu's hand and got into the carriage escorted by a group of nobles and members of the He family. Muchen said curiously: "Miss Susu, it looks like

I am very familiar with such occasions. Just now, I saw Susu having a very lively chat with those aristocratic ladies."

"Your Majesty, Su Su has attended many banquets like this before, so she is more accustomed to it."

"I don't like this kind of boring banquet. My father took me to several state banquets before, but I don't like that kind of scene where everyone flatters each other. I would rather stay in the military camp." Muchen at this time.

, quite honest.

"Hahaha, maybe the military camp is more suitable for the prince. Your prince, I will help you go back." Guan Susu is indeed very pleasant. Not only is he versatile, he is also smart. He knows what to say and what not to say. Even Mu Chen is

I feel like the official is very considerate and considerate.

After bidding farewell to everyone in the He family, Luo Cheng drove a carriage and left Hejiapu.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………

The moon was dark and the wind was high, and today's night seemed extremely peaceful. Muchen glanced outside the car and looked at the sky with interest, with some expectation in his eyes.

On the quiet official road, a carriage was speeding. Just as it passed a small forest, a large group of men in black suddenly burst out of the woods. A row of dozens of men in black were seen, holding bows and arrows, and firing volleys.

In an instant, countless powerful arrow feathers seemed to shoot the carriage into a honeycomb.

"Ding ding..." A series of metal collision sounds, as well as the sparks produced by metal friction, were extremely dazzling in the dark night.

A hail of arrows only killed a few horses, but did not penetrate the carriage. A layer of dark metal was exposed outside the carriage's box.

The leader in black said: "Black Black Iron! Unfortunately, it has no effect." The man in black bent his bow, attached all his spiritual power to the arrow, and shot through the carriage made of Black Black Iron with one arrow.

Muchen instantly fell out of the carriage, while Luo Cheng stood by his side.

Muchen: "Being able to shoot through such thick black black iron with one arrow using spiritual power, it seems that the opponent's strength has reached the Earth Martial Realm." Black black iron is a very common ore on the mainland. It is extremely hard, but also bulky.

It is often used to make armor. It is difficult to shoot through without the cultivation of Earth Martial Realm.

Seeing Muchen coming out, the men in black immediately put down their bows and arrows and surrounded Muchen.

"Mu Chen, just go ahead and capture him. Maybe you can still live."

"Being caught by you is no better than dying. Besides, I don't think I need to surrender."

"Hahaha, you are so ignorant. I didn't expect that you, a majestic prince, would be so lax. You only brought one guard with you when traveling. You are looking for death." After saying that, the man in black waved his hand and fired a volley of arrows, killing Guan Susu and Cui.

My son also forced me down together.

Even in the face of the current situation, Guan Susu remained calm, but the fear in her eyes betrayed her. Cui'er's words turned pale with fright.

"Oh, the women I brought with me are quite stunning. I can just reward my brothers. Come on, arrest these two women as well." After saying that, a group of men in black had already gathered around with a chuckle.

Guan Susu plucked up the courage and shouted: "How brave, do you know that this is the King of Zhenshan, and he dares to openly assassinate me? Don't you want to live?"

The man in black laughed: "Hahaha, if he is not the king of the mountain, I don't have to go out personally. Brothers, take it!"

A group of people attacked Muchen. Luo Cheng acted instantly, drew out the sword from his waist, and killed the approaching men in black with one strike at extremely fast speeds.

The leader of the men in black was shocked and said: "It is indeed the Zhenshan Palace. Just one guard can have such strength. I'm here to meet you." As he said that, the surrounding spiritual energy began to gather towards the leader of the men in black, and then

It is attached around the body to form a spiritual armor. This is the signature ability of a strong person in the Earth Martial Realm. It can mobilize the surrounding spiritual energy for its own use. Not only is the spiritual power more powerful, but the physical strength is also more durable. Pull out a big sword and carry a fierce wind.

Come on.

Luo Cheng raised his sword to block. The powerful force forced Luo Cheng back a few steps, but he was not at a disadvantage. Luo Cheng's strength was outstanding among his peers. It was not surprising that he had the ability to fight across levels. After all, Earthly Martial Arts

Realm warriors are also divided into three, six or nine levels, and Luo Cheng's strength is already comparable to that of a strong person in the Earth martial realm. This is also one of the reasons why Luo Cheng can become Muchen's bodyguard.

Without Luo Cheng, only Muchen, Guan Susu and Cui'er were left in the arena, and their opponents were dozens of men in black, including more than a dozen Human Martial Realm warriors, who were about to face

The test of life and death.
