"What's wrong with being a prince? Why bother to be an executioner who is manipulated?"

Gu Ci shouted at the back of the man in black, but he didn't notice his body at once. He covered his chest and coughed loudly.

Listening to the heart-wrenching coughing behind him, Gu Mu turned his head slightly and half of his face looked at him.

The candles beside him flashed, and they also covered the flash of light in his eyes.

Looking at Gu Ci in a gorgeous dress and his unwilling look, Gu Mu suddenly smiled.

His smile was extremely light, and to outsiders, it seemed that the corners of his mouth were slightly curled, but it made Gu Ci stunned.

After meeting Gu Mu for a few short times, he looked expressionless every time. Gu Ci thought that Gu Mu had deprived of his right to smile by this harsh training.

Without caring about what this person was thinking, Gu Mu suddenly thought about it at this moment. He had one hand behind him, his smile was very light, but full of pleasure.

Not like a strictly trained shadow guard, but more like a... a casual and unruly ranger?

Kill one person at a time, and keep a thousand miles away!

Looking blankly at the man in black who suddenly changed his aura, Gu Ci heard his voice, as if there was nothing.

"younger brother!"

Gu Ci suddenly became stunned and stared blankly at the man in black with half of his face in light.

Gu Mu suddenly said, "Actually, it was not our first meeting three months ago."

Gu Ci blinked, a little confused.

Isn't it their first meeting?

He only remembered that the first time they met, Gu Mu came to take his life. If it weren't for the blank imperial order, he would have died at the hands of his own brothers.

"The Emperor is not what you think. He may not be good at expressing himself in the past, but over the years, he has become more and more humane..."

Gu Mu lowered his head and smiled.

[Otherwise... how could he stand here and have some friends with his family?]

Feeling a barrier in his body slowly loosening, Gu Mu only felt comfortable all over. He raised his head and looked at Gu Ci seriously.

"It may be great to be a prince, but it is not what I want. What I want is the diligence of martial arts!"

He wanted to step into the peak of martial arts step by step, he wanted to know the limits of human physiology. If one day the emperor did not need his protection, he wanted to go out for a walk, and it would be better to be alone and see this colorful world.

In addition to the sweet candied fruit in people's hearts, he also wanted to take a look at the real world fireworks.

Looking at the dazed Gu Ci, his tone became gentle for the first time.

"Isn't it a selfish kind of selfishness that you don't understand me, but do things that are good for me?"

All things in the world are nothing but cause and cause and effect.

If the direction is different, what kind of people will talk about?

Gu Ci was shocked, and the light in his eyes disappeared.

After taking a last look at him, Gu Mu walked out with his mask on him.

This face is too eye-catching. As long as it is outside, he has to wear a black mask. It is really troublesome...

Gu Mu frowned in distress.

[It's a pity... The emperor didn't let him ruin this face!]

After avoiding the guards and leaving the palace, Gu Mu casually found a quiet place and sat cross-legged under the tree.

Eight years later, his martial arts have not improved, which is completely different from what he had seen every day before.

Gu Mu did not give up. After completing the tasks every day, he would start practicing according to the plan he had set. He had never slacked off for so many years.

He felt that his efforts were not in vain, and he felt that his foundation had become more at ease, but his body seemed to be suppressed by something, and he could not break through that barrier?

And today... that unbreakable barrier is loose!

This is also the reason why he didn't intend to argue with Gu Ci and ran out immediately!

An hour later, Gu Mu slowly opened his closed eyes. He looked at his unfolded hands and showed a smile from the bottom of his heart.

Slowly, his smile grew bigger and bigger, and finally he burst into laughter without any concealment.

"Haha! Hahahahahahahaha..."

"Silly apprentice, you finally wake up!"

Gu Mu was shocked and suddenly raised his head and looked at the person sitting on the tree.

Xiao Huihui took a bite of the candied haws and looked at him with some complaints.

"You've been sitting here so fashionable. It's fine if you can't see me before. After waking up, you just smirked, not at all... ungrate... respect... what's the point of respecting..."

Looking at Xiao Huihui's anxious look, Gu Mu smiled helplessly

"Respect the teacher and respect the Tao."

"Ah yes! I don't respect my teacher at all!"

Xiao Huihui raised her head happily and decided to talk to the little master after she went back. He is also a person who knows how to use idioms!

Xu Ziqing: “…”

"Master, why are you here?"

He seemed to have been meditating for more than an hour. Could it be that the master has been waiting for him?

Speaking of this, Xiao Huihui looked at him with some contempt, took out a purse from his arms and threw it away.

He brought some internal force when throwing it. Gu Mu flipped his wrist and accurately took the purse to his hand.

Xiao Huihui tilted her head, and always felt that this apprentice seemed to be different...

The silver purse was embroidered with a snow-white tiger head, which was round and cute. Gu Mu opened the purse and saw a full of candied fruit piled up with purse.

He was slightly stunned and lowered his head and smiled.

He put away his purse with a cherished look, and he raised his head and said jokingly.

"How can the princess let the master run errands?"

【And such a large pack is actually a little less...】

Xiao Huihui licked the candied haws and was a little jealous. She glanced at the bag of candied fruit and snorted arrogantly.

"Xiao Huihui is not short of such a small food now, so it's not that the little master doesn't want to let him go!"

#╰(￣﹏￣)╯

"I'm rich now!"

[He found a person who was stupid and had a lot of money! He didn't care about him like the little master!]

Xu Ziqing: “…”

"Oh! The thing is delivered, I ignore you!"

He flew away from the tree with a swish, and Gu Mu seemed to hear his murmur.

"The little master is still worried that he will cry... he will lie!"

Gu Mu touched the purse in his arms, felt a warmth in his heart and laughed happily.

[He really thinks it's pretty good now!]

He looked back at the direction of the Prince's Mansion of Jiangning County, and Gu Mu's eyes flashed.

In fact, the first time he met his younger brother was 18 years ago...

At that time, Gu Zhi had just sat on the throne and was so busy that he couldn't touch the ground every day. During his busy schedule, Gu Zhi called him out and stared at him for a long time until he looked at the little Gu Mu a little panicked.

The young emperor's voice has faded away from his immaturity and has become more majestic.

"I never hide your identity. Now I give you two choices to be a prince or my shadow."

Gu Mu was only ten years old at that time. He had just finished a training session and had not had time to apply medicine. His left hand felt even more painful.

Trying to stay awake from the pain, he thought for a while, but finally chose to tell the truth to the emperor.

"I went to the Western Academy to see it."

The Western Courtyard is Gu Ci's residence.

Gu Mu was silent when he thought of the child hiding in the dark and secretly burning paper for his father.

That person does look very similar to him, but he is not the same as him at all. He doesn't seem to be happy and likes to cry.

He secretly burned paper for his father. He was frightened by the wind and movements more than once, and even tripped by a small stone.

Xiao Gu Mu couldn't understand. He just had a small hole in his hand. Why did it hurt like that? His eyes were still squirting.

There are so many companions around him, and the weakest one can poke the prince with his fingers!

Little Gu Mu shook his head in disgust, but Little Gu Ci, who fell to the ground and couldn't get up no matter how hard he crawled, was so pitiful... He wanted to walk over and take a look, but suddenly he walked past two little eunuchs.

"Now the emperor's actions are getting bigger and bigger... Have you heard that the fifth prince is dead today!"
