"What?" Wei Lai was stunned, looking at the man in front of him in confusion, and it was difficult to know for a while where the other party's endless sentence came from.

But Xiao Mu didn't have the intention of solving the confusion with Wei Lai, after saying this, the young commander of the Zixiao Army turned pale at that time, and the whole person's aura became solemn: "Take it for me!"

As soon as he said this, the armorers behind him who had already held the halberd in their hands suddenly moved, and they stepped forward in unison, and a cold breath came to his face, enveloping Wei Lai's body, Wei Lai's heart sank, he knew that he would never be the opponent of the group of armorers in front of him. Wei Lai knew about this, and he knew that outwitting the party was the best way.

"What!??Does the dignified Zixiao Army really want to do this murderous thing?" Wei Lai reprimanded loudly at that time, a hand hidden under the cuff was clenched tightly, and his gaze also crossed the crowd and fell on Xiao Mu's body, staring at the look on the young leader's face, as if he was ready to do something at any time.

"Kill people and kill people?" Xiao Mu raised his eyebrows, stared at Wei Laiyan and said, one of his hands stretched out, and those armor soldiers who were ready to step forward to take Wei Lai down ordered them to forbid, and almost stopped their steps at the same time. The corners of Xiao Mu's mouth rose, and he asked, "You are so good to tell me, what point of your body is worthy of being killed by me?"

Xiao Mu's tone was extremely unkind, with a little disdain and contempt, and even a deep malice. But where this malice came from, Wei Lai couldn't know the truth.

He didn't have time to think about it in detail, he saw Xiao Mu in the trap, so he continued to speak loudly: "This old woman saw with her own eyes, it was the Zixiao Army under your command that kidnapped his grandson, I came to ask for a meeting for this matter, first of all, the soldiers under your command turned us away, I had to lead the commander to see him, but the commander also indiscriminately took me and this old woman into custody. ”

"At first, this Granny Hu told me that the Zixiao Army had kidnapped Hu Le, but I still didn't believe it, after all, the Zixiao Army was famous, and the people of Ningzhou praised each other, saying that the Sanxiao Army was a loyal person who was for the country and the people, and could also fight well, how could he do such a thing. But now, no one from the guards to you, the commander, is willing to listen to us, isn't this just a ghost in his heart who wants to kill people and kill people?"

After hearing Wei Lai's words, Xiao Mu's eyebrows were raised, and he actually said: "Okay! Today I will convince you and be speechless." ”

In all fairness, from the very beginning, Wei Lai used the spiritual power in his body to stir up the great power and the things he said later, all of which had already revealed a strong smell of agitation. Even Wei Lai himself didn't have much hope for this, just with the intention of giving it a try, he tried it, but he didn't want such a clumsy technique to be so applicable to this famous Han Star leader, almost no need for Wei Lai to do more other side knocks, and the other party would follow his words step by step into his trap as he wished.

Such an unexpected smoothness made Wei Lai a little uneasy.

At this time, Xiao Mu, who had said that, looked sideways at the woman on the side, and asked with deep eyes: "You said that my Zixiao Army kidnapped your grandson?

Xiao Mu didn't take advantage of the danger of others, or wrapped up any spiritual power in such a question, so as to frighten the old woman. Of course, such an approach was really unnecessary, after all, the bright blades held by the group of armor soldiers behind Xiao Mu alone were enough to make this old woman who had never seen anything big in the world feel timid and pale. However, after a few breaths, the worry about his grandson still overcame the fear in Hu Subai's heart. She gritted her teeth and whispered, "Half an hour ago, I saw with my own eyes that it was the soldiers of the Zixiao Army who captured my grandson......

"This is your evidence?" But unfortunately, Rao is words had already made the old woman pluck up courage, but in Xiao Mu's ears, what was exchanged for was only such a cold ridicule from the other party.

"Wei Gongzi...... I really saw it......" Hu Subai also knew that her family's words could not really explain anything, she could only focus on Wei Lai for help, "You help me to talk to this general, I really didn't lie." ”

"Hmph!" But before these words could be spoken, Xiao Mu on the side interrupted Hu Subai's self-talk with a cold snort.

"The armor of the Sanxiao Army is almost the same, only the cloud seal on the chest is different, the sky has already darkened half an hour ago, even normal people can hardly distinguish the difference between the three-color cloud seal in such a dark sky, even if it is really my Zixiao Army's people who have kidnapped the grandson in your mouth, how can you see it really? Can you tell which of the three-color cloud seals it is?"

"Besides, even if you see it clearly, since my Zixiao Army also wants to kill people and kill people, then why do you need to travel in armor, wouldn't it be true?"

Xiao Mu scolded sharply, every word made the old woman's body tremble once, but she didn't know whether she was shocked by Xiao Mu's momentum or if it really came from some weakness.

Looking at the woman whose body trembled and her face turned pale under Xiao Mu's scolding, Wei Lai's brows immediately furrowed. Before this, he did have some doubts about some of the old woman's behaviors in his heart, just as Xiao Mu said, an old woman can identify the perpetrator of the murder as Zixiao Army in such an environment, this alone is very debatable.

"What, you can't speak?" and Xiao Mu saw Hu Subai's state, so he naturally became more and more convinced of his judgment, and he snorted coldly and continued. At that time, his eyes moved away from Hu Subai's body and fell on Wei Lai: "Many times, blindly believing in others does not show your righteousness, and more can only make people see your ignorance." ”

Xiao Mu's words had a slight didactic flavor, Wei Lai's brows wrinkled a little deeper, that Hu Subai became more and more flustered at the moment, she shook her head again and again, and explained anxiously: "No, no, I didn't lie, it was really the people of the Zixiao Army who kidnapped Hu Le, I won't admit it!!"

"Diao woman, do you know what the crime of framing Zixiao Army is?" Xiao Mu shouted coldly.

The old woman who was frightened by Xiao Mu's barrage of questions seemed to be out of her mind at this time, but she didn't have the fear of Fang Cai, and she responded loudly when she heard the words: "The women know that they will be exiled to the frontier and demoted to slavery, or they will be put on death row, and they will be beheaded after the autumn." ”

This response made Wei Lai and Xiao Mu's eyes flash a different color almost at the same time, obviously the old woman who could say such a thing would never be as simple as an ordinary woman.

"Oh, it seems that you are still prepared, then you can tell me, how did you determine that the person who captured your grandson is my Zixiao Army?" Xiao Mu asked again, this question was also the most critical node in what Hu Subai said.

Seeing this, Wei Lai simply stood aside, staring at the old woman, also trying to figure out what was going on.

Hu Subai probably figured out that her words and deeds were directly related to Hu Le's life and death at this time, she gritted her teeth and forced herself to calm down, and then she said: "The women are old and dizzy, and those military masters did not wear armor when they made their moves, so the women naturally can't judge their identities from the military masters' outfits." ”

"However, I recognize the Saber of the Purple Sky Army. Saying this, Hu Subai paused, her rickety waist was a little deeper at that time, and there was a faint light in her cloudy eyes, as if she was recalling some memories buried in the depths of her mind.

"Rain curtain. This is the name of the Zixiao Army's saber, its blade headquarters has a unique blood groove, with the Zixiao Army's unique way of taking out the knife, when it is unsheathed, it will make a sound like rain falling to the ground, when countless Zixiao Army swords together, such sounds are connected together, like a rainstorm pouring down, so it ...... Hence the name rain curtain. ”

"Although the women are blind, their ears are quite sharp, and I am very good, and when the wicked men strike their hands, their knives sound like this. As he spoke, Hu Subai knelt down in front of Xiao Mu with a bang, and shouted in a sad voice: "General, what the people woman said is true, please ask the general to learn and save the grandson of the people's woman!"

Wei Lai didn't know much about the so-called Sanxiao Army, and naturally he couldn't tell the truth of what Hu Subai said, but in the process of the old woman saying this, Wei Lai kept staring at Xiao Mu, and saw that after the other party heard this, his face gradually became solemn, and Wei Lai knew that I was afraid that what the old woman said was not much different from the real situation.

Sure enough, after a few breaths of silence, Xiao Mu, who had a gloomy face, turned his head to glance at the adjutant standing beside him after staring at the woman who bowed down to him, and whispered: "Go and check the deployment probability of the battalion sergeant, and count the weapons in the warehouse if they are stolen." ”

Hearing this, the adjutant hurriedly led a group of soldiers back to the barracks, and when Hu Subai heard this, she also knew that Xiao Mu had obviously wavered, and she hurriedly thanked her for a thousand thanks, and regardless of the cold of the snow on the ground, she continued to kowtow to Xiao Mu. But this time, before her head fell, Xiao Mu, who was standing at the door of the barracks, stretched out his hand, and a purple spiritual power poured out of his hand, wrapping the body of the old woman kneeling on the ground, and then lifted Hu Subai's body up without saying anything.

Wei Lai saw this situation in his eyes, although he still remained silent on his lips, but in his heart, he had a slight change in his opinion of this young master of the Xiao family.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the adjutant who had been ordered to leave soon came to the gate of the barracks again with many soldiers, and Hu Subai suddenly raised his neck and looked at the adjutant with an expectant expression. But the adjutant had an ugly face, and he put his head into Xiao Mu's ear and was about to whisper something. Xiao Mu had led the troops for many years, so he naturally saw the strangeness of this adjutant, his eyes were condensed, and he said coldly: "Since everyone else has already asked about the crime in front of the door, how can you hide something? ”

Although the adjutant still hesitated when he heard this, after a few breaths, he still gritted his teeth and said: "The next official found out that before today's day, seven tooth generals were ordered to leave the camp and have not returned. ”

"Hmm, how did I not know about this, who dispatched it?" Xiao Mu asked with a frown.

This question made the adjutant's face even more ugly, and he hesitated for a long time, but he did not give an answer.

"If you say it, you will say it! What, do you want me to go to the barracks to see it again?" Xiao Mu asked with deep eyes.

When these words came out, the adjutant's body trembled, and finally put away his desire to get by, he said at that time, although his voice was much quieter, Wei Lai and Hu Subai still heard it clearly: "It was the young prince who used the token of the great commander to send away a few tooth generals." ”

"Bastard!" The moment he heard the young man's words, Xiao Mu seemed to understand something, he scolded angrily at that time, and asked again, "What is the reason for what he said?"

The adjutant shook his head: "It is not recorded in the battalion Chinese book." ”

When Xiao Mu heard this, the anger between his eyebrows became heavier, and he gritted his teeth and whispered: "Send someone to investigate, and rummage through the entire Ningxiao City to find out that bastard thing for me!"

At this moment, anyone could see that Xiao Mu was obviously furious, the adjutant had been by Xiao Mu's side for many years, so he naturally knew his temperament best, he would not touch Xiao Mu's moldy head at this time, he hurriedly nodded, and was about to step back and arrange the matters ordered by Xiao Mu.

"No need. But at this moment, a voice suddenly came from the night. I saw a man dressed as a housekeeper coming from the depths of the night, he came to the door of this barracks, arched his hand towards Xiao Mu on the high platform, and said: "The young master of my family has long expected that General Xiao will have this trouble, and we have found out the location of the young prince for the general before this. ”

"It's you?!" Xiao Mu, who glanced at the appearance of the comer, raised his eyebrows, as if he was extremely familiar with this man, after a brief period of surprise, he quickly came back to his senses, but did not question what the other party said, but asked directly: "Where is that bastard now?"

"White Crane Inn. The man said.

Xiao Mu was stunned for a moment, and he thought of the four words of the White Crane Inn in his heart - the White Crane Inn was originally his Xiao family's property, and he naturally knew where the distinguished guests living in the White Crane Inn were at this moment, and then thought of his father Xiao Baihe's behavior in recent days, and some thoughts that did not make Xiao Mu optimistic finally appeared in his mind. His face became even more ugly, but he still squeezed out a murderous word from his mouth after counting his breaths: "Go!"

......

Hundreds of Zixiao troops opened the way in front, and there was a muffled sound where the heavy iron armor passed, and Ning Xiao City, which was already quiet in the dead of night, was awakened by the march of the Zixiao army, and there were many people in the courtyards on both sides of the street who woke up from their sleep and lit lanterns to look at the scene in the street.

Wei Lai and the three of them followed behind the large force of the Zixiao Army and approached with them towards the place where the White Crane Inn was located.

"What does Uncle Xiao think of this Xiao Commander?" At this time, the man who was called Uncle Di by Xu Yue suddenly asked.

Wei Lai was stunned for a moment, and glanced sideways at this man dressed as a housekeeper, his appearance was extremely ordinary, especially when they first met, this guy arranged many matters in the Wei Mansion with ease, and also met the various strange requirements of Sun Daren and others one by one.

Moreover, the rhetoric of the Dark Xiao Army itself is a very interesting thing, at least in Wei Lai's memory, he has never heard anything mention of the existence of any other army in Ningzhou besides the Qing, Zi, and Red Xiao Army. But whether it is Xu Yue or Xiao Mu of Fang Cai, it seems that they already know about the existence of the Dark Sky Army and the commander of the Dark Sky Army, Wei Lai secretly wonders if this means that under the turmoil in Ningzhou, far more than the three major families are fighting each other, and there are some that have not surfaced, but the people in power know that the existence is also secretly stirring the storm.

But these are just digressions after all, Wei Lai thought of this, so he temporarily suppressed these thoughts and said: "It's not bad, at least it seems to be a reasonable guy for now." ”

"yes, not bad. It's a pity that there are not many people in Ningxiao City who are so reasonable. The man nodded when he heard this, but as he spoke, he turned into sighs and sighs.

Wei Lai really couldn't empathize with the other party's words, and he didn't know what to say, so after thinking about it, he could only change the topic and ask, "How did Commander Di find out that those wicked people were hiding in the White Crane Inn?"

The man surnamed Di smiled when he heard this: "I know more friends, I don't know what is going on, that person can't have seen it unconsciously at some point, ask more, and you'll know." ”

The man's words were light, but Wei Lai was not naïve enough to really regard this matter as a coincidence. He was secretly frightened by the terrible intelligence network of this man surnamed Di, you must know that when the man came to the front of the Zixiao Army's barracks, it was only half an hour before Hu Subai came to the door to ask for help, and then the time it took for the man to run back and forth, he really heard this information in less than a quarter of an hour, which to a large extent showed that the man's eyeliner was probably all over Ningxiao City.

And why such an organization hidden in the shadows and with such a terrifying intelligence network would be at the disposal of Xu Yue is another thing worth pondering.

But there are really too many things like this today, and Wei Lai didn't have the heart to investigate them one by one, he nodded, then turned his head to look at Hu Subai, who had been nervous on the side, and comforted the other party softly. He knew very well that Hu Le should be fine in a short period of time - since he had found out that the young son of the Xiao family who had transferred the Zixiao Army was in the White Crane Inn at the moment, Wei Lai's previous speculation that there was a connection between the other party and the Song Shizi in the Tianque Realm was naturally confirmed proudly. In this way, the other party's abduction of Hu Le was largely to threaten Wei Lai, so thinking about it, in a short period of time, Hu Le should not have to worry about his life.

Although Hu Subai thanked her again and again when she heard this, whether it was her silent state or her hands that had nowhere to put it, her inner uneasiness at this moment was vividly revealed.

Wei Lai also knew the truth that if he cared, he would be chaotic, so he simply stopped saying more and followed everyone to the White Crane Inn in silence.

......

Ning'an Street, where the White Crane Inn is located, is a wonderful place known as a fairyland on earth. On this long street, you can find the most beautiful women you want to find, you can also buy calligraphy and paintings from the hands of everyone in the previous dynasty, and you can also drink the wine that fills the entire street. Of course, all this assumes that you have enough silver in your purse.

At this moment, it has already arrived, and in such a late night, the rest of Ningxiao City, even the most prosperous Xunyang Street, has long been rare at this moment. But this Anning Street Mulberry is still brightly lit, the voices of people are boiling, and you can see drunk brocade boys everywhere, and you can also hear the soft voice of the beautiful lady everywhere. Ning'an Street is like an isolated city that never sleeps, with a charming atmosphere that makes people forget the world "outside the city".

However, the Zixiao Army brought by Xiao Mu shattered this charm extremely roughly.

The Zixiao Army went on a rampage, overturning the drunks who were staggering on the street, driving away the old bustards who didn't have long eyes to greet them, and drove all the way straight to the White Crane Inn at the end of the street.

The little guy who was on duty at the door of the inn was leaning against the door and was drowsy, and the sound of the arrival of the Zixiao Army woke the little guy from his sleep.

This little guy has a good memory, and he can see at a glance that the person who came is the eldest young master of the Xiao family. He wiped the corners of his mouth and walked up quickly, he said with a flattering look on his face as he walked: "What is Young Master Xiao doing at the inn so late? Do you want to see a distinguished guest? Do you need a little help to pass it on?"

As soon as these words were finished, the little guy didn't have time to walk in front of Xiao Mu.

A majestic killing machine suddenly poured out of Xiao Mu's body, and the little guy who came forward was shocked by the qi machine, and his body staggered, and he fell to the ground in embarrassment. And when he looked up at his young master with confusion, he saw Xiao Mu slam the long knife in his hand to the ground, opened his mouth in the direction of the inn, and shouted: "Bastard! Get out of here!"
