Chapter 35: Halfway attack, Cao Zhengchun arrives
Feeling that terrifying aura, Haitang calmed down instantly!
She knew very well that there was no chance of survival for her if she was targeted by a master who had reached the great perfection of the Grand Master level.

Their intelligence about Zhao Mu was completely wrong.

It can be said that Zhao Mu's strength was completely underestimated.

This young prince of the Liyang Dynasty seems to be inconspicuous on weekdays, but there is a force behind him that is far beyond their imagination.

Haitang looked at Zhao Mu without saying a word.

She didn't know what Zhao Mu wanted to do, but her purpose had been exposed, and all she could do was remain silent!
"You're a little different than I imagined!"

Zhao Mu waved his hands, and the terrifying aura gradually dissipated.

"I thought the legendary secret agents were at least very smart, but unfortunately, you don't seem to realize your current situation!"

Haitang lowered her head.

"I have reached a tacit understanding with the Divine Marquis. I need someone by my side to keep me connected with the Divine Marquis. At the same time, I also need a hostage to give me a sense of security!"

"And you are the hostage!"

Zhao Mu stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Haitang's eyes. Haitang raised her head and looked at Zhao Mu.

"You are the hostage, you know it in your heart! Maybe the Lord of God also told you so!"

"But you overestimate your position in his heart. You think that the Divine Marquis is your adoptive father, but he doesn't think so! If one day he wants to turn against me, he will abandon you without hesitation!"

Haitang frowned slightly, but didn't say anything.

Naturally, she would not believe Zhao Mu's one-sided words. She had followed Zhu Wusi for many years and knew her adoptive father well.

Their adoptive father treated them like his own children, so how could he possibly abandon them?
"Maybe you won't believe it, but I think you will understand it soon!"

"You said Cao Zhengchun would attack me, but have you ever thought that your godfather would do the same?"

Hearing this, Haitang raised her head instantly.

"No, my godfather didn't send anyone!"

Haitang started to defend herself.

"How about we make a bet?"

Zhao Mu looked at Haitang with confidence. Haitang didn't say anything. Facing the young man in front of her, she indeed lost her usual composure!

Seeing this, Zhao Mu smiled calmly, then turned his head to look at the snowflakes falling outside.

"I guess the person who did it must be a Japanese killer!"

"One part belongs to Cao Zhengchun, and the other part... belongs to your adoptive father!"

"No, my godfather just asked me to confirm whether Tianxiang Doukou is on you. He won't arrange for anyone to take action against you!"

Haitang finally couldn't help but speak.

"I can tell you clearly that the Tianxiang Cardamom is in my hands!"

Zhao Mu took out a night-shining pearl, shook it, and then put it in his arms.

"But your adoptive father is not someone who will be manipulated by others. Tianxiang Doukou is my leverage to threaten him, so naturally I want to take it back. And he will not let you, a hostage, go!"

Zhao Mu gently woke up Shi Feixuan, "Someone is coming, don't sleep anymore!"

Then he turned to look at Haitang and continued.

"Tell me, if your foster father knew that you had been exposed, what would he do?"

Upon hearing this, Haitang looked up suddenly.

Of course she understood this problem. The normal procedure was to kill anyone who exposed the person!

But she couldn't imagine that she would face this situation one day.

She is not afraid of death. As a spy, she could be exposed at any time, and it is normal for her to seek death after being exposed.

But now, she felt a little hesitant.

It must be said that Zhao Mu's words did shake her mind. She could perform the duties of a spy, but it was hard for her to imagine that her adoptive father would clear her out without hesitation, just like he cleared out other spies.

Haitang was thinking.

Suddenly she noticed someone approaching and she quickly became alert!
Zhao Mu opened the curtain of the carriage, and a gust of cold wind whistled in.

"By the way, I said that the information between us is not equal! Your adoptive father probably never told you that I have the power to kill a master in one second, right?"

Zhao Mu walked out of the carriage and looked back at Haitang!
Hearing this, Haitang looked at Zhao Mu in surprise.

Kill the Grandmaster instantly?

How can this be?

Haitang knew that Zhao Mu had reached the Grandmaster level, and she admired his aptitude, but she couldn't believe that Zhao Mu could kill a Grandmaster in seconds.

Even if they are both masters, it is difficult for anyone to kill the opponent instantly.

But at this moment, what really frightened Haitang was that her adoptive father had never mentioned Zhao Mu's strength to her.

The information she received was that Zhao Mu was at the Grandmaster level, and that was all.

If the Divine Marquis had told her about this in advance, she might have re-evaluated Zhao Mu's strength, but why did the Divine Marquis hide this?

At this moment, Haitang was confused and her mind was blank!
But she no longer had time to think.

On the white snow, a group of people in white clothes have gathered.

Haitang knew that these were Cao Zhengchun's men.

Zhao Mu destroyed Cao Zhengchun's plan. Cao Zhengchun's only chance to make amends now is to kill Zhao Mu and end this marriage. Only then can he use the capital in his hands to continue to exchange benefits with Japan.

The information about these guys in front of her is all in Haitang's mind.

She even knew the names of these people clearly. As early as when Cao Zhengchun made the arrangements, these people's files had already appeared in the intelligence network of Hulong Villa.

Looking at Zhao Mu's calm face in the distance, Haitang felt more and more that Zhao Mu was full of unknowns.

Those people were obviously professional killers. The moment they appeared, they rushed over without a word.

In the distance, Liaokong and his companions had already charged into the crowd.

To deal with these guys, Liaokong alone is enough.

But after a moment, all the people arranged by Cao Zhengchun were killed!

Haitang shook her head slightly. She had already expected this result.

Even if Zhao Mu is defeated by then, they have arranged someone in Hulong Villa to take action in secret.

But soon, Haitang's expression changed.

"Hahahaha, the Ninth Prince is indeed not simple. There is actually such a master hidden by his side!"

In the snow in the distance, Cao Zhengchun clapped his hands and walked out slowly.

Haitang was shocked when she saw Cao Zhengchun.

She also didn't expect that this guy would actually do it himself!

"It's rare that Eunuch Cao is so thoughtful. He knew that I was leaving and came all the way to see me off!"

Zhao Mu stood in the carriage, looking at Cao Zhengchun, but he was not worried at all.

Cao Zhengchun possesses the strength of a late Grandmaster, and the gap between the two is huge.

But Zhao Mu was confident that even he had the strength to fight Cao Zhengchun, not to mention that he had more than just Kong to back him up.

"This Lord Governor is indeed here to see the Ninth Prince off, but I am not here to send the Ninth Prince back, I am here to send you to hell!"

Cao Zhengchun looked at the corpses all over the ground, but didn't care.

He knew very well that these small fry were no match for Zhao Mu, but without these people, how could he demonstrate his own value?
How can he bargain with the Japanese if he can't demonstrate his own value?
