Chapter 41: Becoming a Target
Chapter 41 becomes the goal
Mu Chen and Bian Xiaofeng followed the man to an inn, entered a room, and as soon as they entered, Mu Chen saw an old acquaintance, this person was Elder Yue Zhenghong Yue, and there was a middle-aged man, Mu Chen didn't know him, but that person looked at him with an extraordinary bearing, and his martial arts were unfathomable, and Mu Chen knew at a glance that this was Ning Yitian, the leader of the beggar gang.

As soon as Mu Chen entered the house, he saw Yue Zhenghong come up and said, "Brother Mu, long time no see" Mu Chen also said respectfully at a glance, "Elder Yue, long time no see" Yue Zhenghong led Mu Chen in the direction of Ning Yitian. Ning Yitian saw Mu Chen's arrival, hurriedly stood up, and said kindly, "Under Ning Yitian," Yue Zhenghong said, "This is the Ning Gang leader of our beggar gang."
Mu Chen smiled and said, "Ning Gang Master, under Mu Chen, I have admired the name for a long time" and then looked at Bian Xiaofeng and said, "This is my second brother Bian Xiaofeng"
Ning Yitian glanced at Bian Xiaofeng, and said with a smile, "I know, the famous thief saint, we have met before" Bian Xiaofeng also smiled and clenched his fists and said, "I have met Ning Gang Master"
Ning Yitian said, "Brother Mu Chen can be a righteous brother with the thief saint, it seems that his ability must be not small, I heard Elder Yue say about the matter of Yongzhou City last time, I appreciate your wisdom," Mu Chen also smiled and said, "Ning Gang Master has won the award, I don't know what is the matter with finding it today?" ”
Ning Yitian said, "Come, sit down and say," After the four of them sat down, Ning Yitian said, "I came to you today, there is a big event," Mu Chen asked puzzledly, "How can the big matter of the beggar gang find me?" ”
Ning Yitian didn't speak, he took out a note from his clothes and handed it to Mu Chen, Mu Chen opened the note, and when he saw the words on it, his heart suddenly tightened, and the note said "Three days later, Mu Chen died under the dog stick" Bian Xiaofeng saw the words on it and said, "This... Is this a mistake? ”
Mu Chen smiled slightly and said, "Gang Master Ning, where did you get this note?"
Ning Yitian said, "This is when I was about to go up the mountain to visit the master this morning, someone shot me with a bow and arrow, Elder Yue said that I know you, we will come to you in a hurry" Bian Xiaofeng asked strangely, "It said that I will kill my eldest brother with a dog beating stick in three days, but shouldn't this dog beating stick be in your hands Ning Gang Master?" ”
When Ning Yitian heard this, he said ashamedly, "That's the case, a few months ago, I fought with the Western Xia army outside the Guan, I was injured in the battle, and the whereabouts of the dog stick are unknown, I came to Wutai Mountain this time, but also to find Dr. Kong to treat my injuries, Yitian, as the leader of the gang, actually lost the dog stick in the gang, I am really ashamed" After speaking, he sighed again, and his tone was full of guilt.
Mu Chen thought to himself that Ning Yitian was so guilty, he must also be a person with a bold personality and a bright and upright personality, but now that the Central Plains is divided, he has still been on the first front outside the border, and he is really an admirable person. Then he said, "Will that be in the hands of the Tanguts?"
Ning Yitian waved his hand and said, "No," Bian Xiaofeng said, "Since it was lost on the battlefield, it is not impossible to be picked up by the Western Xia people," Ning Yitian said, "Originally, I thought so, but something very serious has happened in the past two months in the gang."
Mu Chen asked, "What?" Ning Yitian said, "Two months ago, Wei Yan, who helped the leader split the rudder, died tragically, and the person who killed him used the dog stick method, and the murder weapon was also the dog stick."
When Mu Chen heard the name Wei Yan, his heart was shocked, and then he thought of what happened in Yongzhou City, and said, "Since the Wei Helm Master died under the dog-beating stick method, it means that the dog-beating stick was picked up by the beggars?" ”
Ning Yitian said, "That's right, I wasn't sure yet, until the helmsman Yan, the Fang helmsman, the Li helmsman and the Zheng helmsman were killed one by one, and I knew that this person had a holiday with our beggar gang, and it must be someone inside the beggar gang."
Mu Chen was right to think about it, if he wasn't a member of the beggar gang, how could he learn the dog stick method, and asked, "Isn't the beggar gang only the gang leader who can beat the dog stick method?" ”
Yue Zhenghong nodded, "That's right, but it's possible that I learned it secretly when I was practicing, because I fought with him."
Mu Chen said in surprise: "Have you fought with that murderer?" Yue Zhenghong said, "That's right, I was nearby when Master Li Helm was killed, and when I rushed over, I saw that the murderer hadn't left, and in the process of fighting him, I saw that he used the kung fu of our beggar gang, and the dog-beating stick method was not so proficient, I think it should have been learned secretly."
Mu Chen nodded, "Then did you see the other party's appearance?" And how is the other party's kung fu? Mu Chen knew that the other party could kill so many people from the beggar gang, and he had already been targeted, so he knew a little more.
Yue Zhenghong said, "This person's martial arts are very high, not under me, he covered his face with a black cloth, I can't see who he is" Mu Chen heard this, and thought to himself, "Cover your face?" Could it be him? ”
Ning Yitian saw what Mu Chen was thinking about, and asked, "Brother Mu, do you have any clues?" ”
Mu Chen told the story of that night in detail. After listening, the two couldn't help but be speechless, and Ning Yitian said, "What? The masked man you saw was going to poison the masters of the various sects? This matter is too big, it is necessary to tell the alliance leader"
Mu Chen waved his hand and said, "Ning Gang Leader, don't worry, I'm thinking, since that masked man dares to give the position of the Beggar Gang Leader to Li Siguang, along with the dog beating stick method, then he is likely to be the one who killed the helmsmen, and I fought with him that day, and he used a knife, so some things can't be sure." ”
Bian Xiaofeng stepped forward and said, "If that person is used to using knives, then it is normal to use a dog beating stick to get rusty," and the three of them agreed after hearing this. Ning Yitian patted the table and said, "I'll go and tell the alliance leader now."
Mu Chen said: "Ning Gang Master, don't worry, think about it, if that masked man wants to kill me, then why did he mention it and notify you?" If the masked man we both see is the same person, then it is possible that he will lure you over through me and then use the strategy to carry out his plan. ”
Ning Yitian said, "Yes, yes, yes, then what should we do?" Mu Chen thought for a while and said, "In this way, after three days, I will meet this masked man myself, you don't want to protect me, and you have to pay attention to observe what everyone will use, maybe someone will poison you."
Ning Yitian nodded and said, "Brother Namu should be careful when he finishes his work, I'll go and inquire about the masked man's movements, then I'll leave first."
Mu Chen said, "Okay, then I'll also say goodbye" After speaking, he left with Bian Xiaofeng and returned to the inn where he lived.
As soon as he returned to the inn, he saw Yi Qingyu and Xi Mengchu waiting in the room, and as soon as he saw Mu Chen and the others coming back, Yi Qingyu immediately asked, "Brother Mu, what's wrong, what's the matter with the beggar gang looking for you?" ”
As soon as Bian Xiaofeng wanted to speak, Mu Chen stopped him and said, "It's nothing, it's just that I had a little friendship with the beggar gang before, I helped the beggar gang, Elder Yue mentioned me in front of the Ning gang master, and the Ning gang master wanted to get to know me."
"Xiaofeng, really?" Yi Qingyu looked at Bian Xiaofeng with suspicious eyes and asked. Mu Chen secretly pinched Bian Xiaofeng, and Bian Xiaofeng immediately understood, "That's right, it's not a big deal." ”
"That's good, you're hungry" Xi Mengchu said with a smile, "Sister Yi, let's go order something to eat" Yi Qingyu said "Since that's the case, okay" and then left the room, and when he left, Xi Mengchu also made a look at Bian Xiaofeng.
As soon as the two left, Mu Chen said, "Brother and sister know that we are lying," Bian Xiaofeng nodded, "Fortunately, sister-in-law didn't suspect it, otherwise she wouldn't let you face the masked man alone."
Mu Chen said, "The fewer people who know about this matter now, the better, in case the masked man kills unrelated people again" Bian Xiaofeng nodded, and said with a twist of words, "Huh? Didn't the third brother say that he would come back when the conference began? Why haven't you come back yet? It's going to happen. ”
Mu Chen said, "There may be something delayed, if he hasn't come back after the conference, we'll go and find out about him." ”
Mu Chen pondered for a while and said, "By the way, practice the Guiyun Heart Method well in the past two days, your internal strength foundation is very good, practicing the Guiyun Heart Method will be of great help to you in the future, and you can find a time to go up the mountain and participate in the competition."
Bian Xiaofeng said, "Why am I participating in it? I don't have that blessing," Mu Chen patted Bian Xiaofeng's head and said, "You are stupid, just let you behave, it is best to defeat that Mo Yuntian, so that Xi Wanli will not feel that he has chosen the wrong person." ”
When Bian Xiaofeng heard this, he hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, it makes sense", and then looked at Mu Chen with strange eyes and said, "Big brother, why are you so good at girls, you can even come up with a trick to get your father-in-law, it must be your father's flower heart disease inherited from you."
When Mu Chen heard this, he immediately said gloomily, "It would be nice if I knew who my father was" Bian Xiaofeng realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly said, "Big brother, don't be discouraged, I believe that as long as your uncle and aunt are still alive in the world, you will definitely be able to find them."
Mu Chen didn't speak, smiled and nodded.
