Chapter 273: Assassin

Mu Chen's march in the Eastern Dynasty had ended, and he really couldn't think of a reason to stay here.

Although it was not far from Dry Springs Village, he would love to see it, but he had more important things to do than nostalgia now.

The three of them continued on the road, this time the destination was not far, and Wutai Mountain only took five days to arrive.

Bai Chutian said, "Boss, the purpose of your coming to the Eastern Dynasty is to make Dongfang mistakenly issue that notice?"

Mu Chen said, "Although this is different from the means I imagined, the result is the same"

Bai Chutian said, "The important thing you said is to stop the war for twenty years?"

Mu Chen nodded.

Meloel said, "I heard that eldest brother, you went to Dali this time and successfully prevented Dali from entering the Central Plains."

Mu Chen said, "Hmm"

Meloel smiled: "Presumably the eldest brother must have also made this request to Emperor Dali."

Mu Chen smiled, "You're finally smart this time"

Mellor said, "I also know that the reason why you are doing all this is for your third brother, right?"

Mu Chen said, "You're half right this time"

Mellore said, "What is the other half?"

Mu Chen smiled and said, "For Yueying, she is the princess of the Western Dynasty, and the third brother is the prince of the Northern Dynasty, if there is a war between the two dynasties in the future, which side will you help?"

Bai Chutian said, "Whichever side the boss helps, I will help"

Mu Chen said, "I can't help either side, but I can't help either"

Mellore said, "So what?"

Mu Chen said, "So I thought of a good way, that is, not to let this happen"

Melauel said gloomily, "It's only been twenty years, and what should have happened in twenty years will still happen."

Mu Chen smiled, "Twenty years is actually not a short time, I actually have a little motivation to do this"

Bai Chutian became interested and said, "What?"

Mu Chen said, "For Yan Xuetian, Yan Xuetian entrusted me to take care of Xiao Fengyin, I must complete his entrustment"

Bai Chutian suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Twenty years, Xiao Fengyin will grow up, as long as Xiao Fengyin is immortal before he becomes an adult, the boss will complete Yan Xuetian's entrustment."

Mu Chen smiled, "That's why I like to chat with smart people, because it saves me a lot of effort."

It's getting dark, and it always gets dark very quickly in winter.

The snow began to fall again, and the cold wind was biting.

When Meloel saw a city in the distance, she immediately smiled and said, "Big brother, look at that," she pointed to the city.

Mu Chen looked up. Smile and say "Yongzhou City"

This place is really familiar and strange to him, he has experienced a lot here, and his two career starts here.

Bai Chutian saw the expression on Mu Chen's face and said, "Boss, have you been here?"

Mu Chen said, "I think it should be."

The three of them drank lightly, sped up their horses, and rushed to Yongzhou City.

Entering the city, Bai Chutian said, "Boss, go find the inn"

Mu Chen said, "No, I have a friend here, we can spend the night"

They came to the old man's residence.

Mu Chen stepped forward and knocked lightly on the door.

When the passers-by on the side saw Mu Chen and the others, they all looked at Mu Chen with strange eyes and then whispered.

"Is this haunted house still occupied?"

"How dare he go into a haunted house?"

Haunted house?Mu Chen couldn't help but have a bad premonition in his heart.

Suddenly, the door opened.

Ghosts don't open doors, it's a person who opens doors.

This person is not the old man of the Xuangui Turtle, but Mu Chen knows him.

"Elder Yue?"

Mu Chen looked surprised. The one who opened the door was actually Yue Zhenghong, one of the four elders of the Beggar Gang.

Yue Zhenghong was also surprised, and immediately invited Mu Chen into the house.

There were also seven or eight beggars in the house, who were gathering around the fire to keep warm.

When Mu Chen and the others entered the house, they asked, "Elder Yue, why are you in the house of the old man Xuangui?"

Yue Zhenghong said with a smile, "We were patrolling in this area, and suddenly encountered a cold current, and the snow was falling tightly, so we thought that no one lived here, so we came to avoid the snow."

Muchen said, "You say no one lives here?"

Yue Zhenghong said, "That's right."

Mu Chen said, "What about the old man Xuangui?"

Yue Zhenghong sighed and said, "It's dead."

Mu Chen sank his face and said, "Someone killed?"

Yue Zhenghong acquiesced.

Mu Chen immediately ran to the already dusty bookshelves, and kept rummaging through them.

Yue Zhenghong stopped, "I know you're looking for the Xuangui Atlas, but there's no here, presumably the murderer took it."

Mu Chen asked excitedly, "What about the murderer, have you been caught?"

Yue Zhenghong sighed and shook his head helplessly.

Mu Chen suddenly shouted, "I know, I Lin Hongyue did it"

Bai Chutian lost his voice and said, "What, how could he know about the boss's friends here?"

Yue Zhenghong said, "That's right, what did Xiang Tianzong do to kill the old man of the Xuan Turtle?"

Mu Chen said, "There are only three people in the world who know my martial arts path, one is me, one is the old man of Wuyi Mountain, and the other is the old man of Xuangui" He paused and continued, "The last time Lin Hongyue talked to me, he clearly said my martial arts path, but it is impossible for the old man and the old-timer to tell him, so there is only one possibility."

Lin Hongyue killed the old man of the Xuan Turtle and found Mu Chen's kung fu in the Xuan Turtle General Book.

Mu Chen was already angry at this time, and he couldn't wait to kill Lin Hongyue now.

Bai Chutian immediately said, "Boss, don't get excited, now this matter must be considered in the long run."

Mu Chen was excited for a long time before his mood gradually calmed down.

Yue Zhenghong said, "I think this matter must be related to Xiang Tianzong, why don't I send someone to investigate?"

Mu Chen said, "No, I'll solve this matter myself"

Yue Zhenghong said, "Elder Mu, you really don't need my help?"

Muchen said "no"

He really didn't want to involve the beggars right now.

The crowd was silent, and the sky was getting darker and darker.

Everyone was tired of a day's work, and now they are sleeping one after another.

The snow became heavier and heavier, and Mu Chen added a fire to the stove, tightened his clothes, and fell asleep.

After about an hour, everyone was asleep.

The sound of the door opening was heard in the sound of quiet breathing.

Who's coming in?

Mu Chen was alert to hear the voice.

But he heard no other sounds.

Just when Mu Chen hesitated to open his eyes, a dark shadow had already reached above him.

The black shadow's movements were very light, and he held a dagger in his hand, piercing Mu Chen's chest.

Mu Chen only felt a burst of killing intent, and immediately opened his eyes.

The dagger stabbed down, and it was too late for Mu Chen to dodge, so he immediately grabbed the man's hand and stopped the dagger from stabbing down.

Mu Chen suddenly shouted, "Who is it?"

His voice woke everyone up.

The first to react was Bai Chutian.

He had already stood up and punched the shadow.

Maybe it's because he just woke up, and although he hit this punch, he didn't have the strength.

The black shadow immediately threw away the dagger, got rid of Mu Chen's hand, and jumped out.

Mu Chen immediately dropped the dagger and chased him out.

It's snowing so hard outside that it's bound to leave footprints.

But the truth is incredible, there is not even a single footprint on the snow.

Mu Chen immediately jumped onto the roof, and said coldly after coming down, "I didn't expect that there are really masters of treading snow and looking for plum blossoms here."

There were no footprints on the roof, and the assassin didn't escape from the room, but he walked on the snow without leaving footprints, and this kind of kung fu couldn't be done by others, wood dust.

Mei Luoer said, "With such a high light skill, I'm afraid there is only Lin Hongyue."

Mu Chen said, "Lin Hongyue would never do such a thing"

Bai Chutian thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps, it's the eldest grandson Faceless?"

Mu Chen muttered, "It's possible, the eldest grandson's faceless martial arts are indeed unfathomable, but why did he come to assassinate me?"

Meloel said, "It must have been Lin Hongyue who sent him."

Mu Chen said, "Lin Hongyue just wants to put me to death like this?"

Yue Zhenghong said, "Elder Mu, how could you provoke such a master?"

Mu Chen smiled bitterly, "This is not my intention"

Yue Zhenghong said, "Okay, if someone wants to harm you, our disciples of the Beggar Gang will definitely do their best to protect you."

He suddenly said to a few of the beggar disciples, "You guys, don't sleep tonight, stand guard, be careful of the assassins coming back."

Those beggar disciples said "yes" in unison

However, the Assassins did not return for the rest of the night.

If he didn't come, the more worried Mu Chen became.

It seems that this is a very experienced assassin who knows that if he fails once, he cannot take another risk. Mu Chen couldn't help but sigh.

- It seems that you will have to have more eyes on everything in the future, otherwise you won't know how to die.

Early the next morning, bidding farewell to Yue Zhenghong, Muchen left and headed for Wutai Mountain.

Along the way, Mu Chen's official road is all on the official road, and there are many people on the official road, so it must be inconvenient for the assassin to do it, but this also has a drawback, that is, there are too many people on the official road, and Mu Chen can't track down this assassin if he wants to.

Mu Chen suddenly felt like a rabbit, and something was chasing after him.

The most ridiculous thing is that he doesn't know whether it is a hunting dog or a wild wolf who is chasing him.

However, fortunately, the assassin did not act, and Mu Chen was safely able to reach Wutai Mountain.
