Maybe they were talking about familiar people. The young man looked at Xiao Musheng and felt a little more cordial. After swallowing the food in his mouth, he said: "Since you know my sister, just call me by my name. My name is Xie Rui."

."

Just as Xiao Musheng was about to speak, he felt that Xie Rui's overall temperament had changed significantly in an instant.

I saw him looking at a certain corner with alert eyes, then he took out a chopstick on the table and threw it out seemingly casually. The chopstick was directly inserted into the pillar in the corner and penetrated three points into the wood.

And a millimeter below the chopstick, a man in exceptionally ordinary clothes was looking up at the chopstick above his head with his body trembling.

Just...just a little bit, this chopstick can penetrate his head directly!

Cold sweat broke out on the man's forehead. After regaining consciousness, he hurriedly ran into the alley and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Xiao Musheng looked confused, but did not question his actions. When the man disappeared, he asked: "That man is..."

"I don't know him. He must be following you, but I think he is sneaky and doesn't look like a good person."

Saying that, Xie Rui moved his chopsticks again. If you don't eat it, it will be cold!

Xiao Musheng squinted his eyes with a complicated expression.

According to the timeline of the previous life, the fifth prince should be the first one to think of trying out students as a target. After all, when the third prince learned about this, he even laughed at the fifth prince for not having great ambitions, and actually joined a group of weak scholars.

call each other brothers.

Later, although the third prince and his staff figured out the fifth prince's purpose, it was already too late unless they were willing to pay a greater price.

Therefore, the person just now should be the person arranged by the fifth prince.

He originally thought that in his previous life, he had only participated in the battle for the crown prince after the imperial examination, but now he found out that his people had already taken action before the imperial examination.

Take a look at the emperor's five princes.

The eldest prince, Song Xiao, was born to the empress. He was capable of literary and military skills and had good character. He was originally the favorite prince of the current emperor. Unfortunately, he died on the battlefield in the ninth year of Fenghe.

The third prince, Song Yuan, was born to Concubine Shunxian and was supported by the Queen Mother. Unfortunately, the Queen Mother's overwhelming love only resulted in a headstrong, greedy, lustful and suspicious third prince.

The fifth prince, Song Cheng, was born to Concubine An. He seems to be gentle and humble, polite and virtuous, but in fact he has a violent personality and cruel deeds. He can chat with people one second and send them to hell the next.

And the Seventh Prince Song Zhi...

Perhaps thinking of some bad memories, a sneer appeared at the corner of Xiao Musheng's mouth.

Oh, no matter what, Song Zhi is destined to miss the throne in this life!

As for this last one...

Xiao Musheng sighed and put down the bun in his hand.

If he remembers correctly, the Ninth Prince, whom he was most optimistic about in his previous life, would not be born for another three years...

He can be said to be alone now. Even if he knows something in advance, has an advantage, and has countermeasures, he cannot implement them.

Just when Xiao Musheng was frowning and lost in thought, he suddenly felt someone tugging on his sleeve. When he came to his senses, he realized that it was none other than Xie Rui.

After Xie Rui finished saying that, he saw no one responded. He looked up and found that Xiao Musheng was thinking about something with a distressed look on his face. He stared at him with interest for a while, but finally couldn't hold it back anymore.

He reached out and gave him a tug.
