The three houses under Jiuzhi Mountain were brightly lit, and the darkness outside the house seemed to be a little faded by the sudden light. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Mo held the torch high and looked at the two black-clothed men in the courtyard who were lying in a pool of blood, only to feel that cold sweat was breaking out all over his body, and his heart was beating like a galloping horse as if it might jump out of his chest at any time.

If Fang Cai hadn't heard that sound, would it be this delicate and lovely person standing in front of him who is now lying on the ground and dying?

"Li Mo ......!" The merchant leaned against the door with his dagger in hand, his voice a little tired.

If it weren't for Wu Meiniang's wit, she took advantage of her struggle with these two people to knock down the lampstand next to the bed in the room, and used the sound to attract Li Mo, I am afraid that the two of them would already be fierce and unlucky at this time.

"Merchant!"

Shocked back by Shang Shang's shout, Li Mo ignored the messy blood stains on the middle coat he was wearing, rushed up two steps, and pulled Shang Shang into his arms with one hand.

"It's fine if you're okay!" Li Mo's voice trembled roughly, as if implying deep fear.

Wu Meiniang, who didn't even have time to put on her coat, wore her hair scattered, holding a Qinglian candlestick with a missing corner, her slender legs trembled, and on her pale face, a pair of round and big eyes looked at the mess in the courtyard in a daze.

Are these two tall men dressed in black the ones who just waved the butcher's knife at her?

"This ...... What the hell is ...... What's going on? Wu Meiniang asked in a trembling voice.

She had only lived in Jiuzhi Mountain for a few months, and she originally thought that this was a paradise and a quiet place, but she never thought that such a thing would happen.

Gently letting go of the merchant, Li Mo stuck the torch in his hand on the iron branch by the door, and when he turned his face again, the expression on his face had gradually calmed down, and the gaze that swept over the two corpses in the courtyard gradually became cold.

"Merchant! You go back to the house and rest, and I'll take a look at these two people. Li Mo held Shang Shang's shoulder, gently pushed her blue back into the house, turned back to Wu Meiniang and said in a deep voice: "Please take some tea, let Shang Shang suppress the shock!" ”

Although he has been practicing martial arts with the bearded man and Li Jing, it is the first time for a businessman to kill someone, although the current crisis has been resolved, but looking at the person in the courtyard who fell to the ground covered in blood and did not move, the businessman still felt afraid from the heart. The sluggishness of the blade into the flesh and the warm blood flowing down the dagger to her hand seemed to stick to her hand, lingering, making her want to vomit.

"Li Mo!" Shang Shang looked at Li Mo's eyes a little weakly, not wanting him to leave his sight.

"Obedient! Come into the house and sit down, rest for a while, and I'll check it out. ”

Li Mo softened his expression, gently stroked Shang Shang's bloodless face, took out the short sword she held tightly in her hand, pressed her shoulder and placed her on the soft couch, and then turned around and walked out of the courtyard.

Wu Meiniang barely controlled her emotions, put the candlestick on the round table in the room, tore the cloth towel on the wooden shelf next to the door to wipe the blood on the merchant's hands, and then took the teapot on the table and poured the tea.

In the silence of the night, the "gurgling" sound of the spout constantly hitting the rim of the cup can be heard clearly.

After pouring two cups of tea in a row, Shang Shang and Wu Meiniang felt that the chaotic feeling in their brains that was about to explode gradually subsided, glanced at each other, and showed a stiff and ugly smile at each other.

Li Mo carefully examined the two black-clothed men in front of him by the light of the torch.

The same tall figure, the two corpses that pulled off the black scarf covering their faces were still with their eyes open at this time, and their faces were distorted and hideous, as if they were unwilling to accept their own defeat. The two long knives held in his hands were nothing more than ordinary styles, with neither inscriptions nor markings, and even the hilts were only the most common willow wood, which had only been coarsely polished.

Reaching out to uncover the placket of the two men, he groped through the bodies from head to toe, except for a bag of broken silver in the arms of one of them. Li Mo did not find anything that could prove his identity.

The two corpses that fell to the ground motionless also seemed to laugh at Li Mo's powerlessness.

"Herod!" There was a neighing of horses at the courtyard gate.

When Li Mo raised his eyes, he saw Li Da jumping off the horse with a black face, and regardless of the people who followed him, he rushed straight into the courtyard gate.

"Childe! What happened? Li Da looked at the corpse at Li Mo's feet and couldn't help but gasp.

"Why are you here?" Li Mo glanced behind Li Da, and saw that the person who came was only Li Da's younger brother, so he also relaxed.

"Zhuang Ding, who patrols the night on Zhuangzi, reported that there is a fire here, and the villain is afraid that something will happen to his son, so he will come over with his younger brother to take a look." Li Da squatted down and looked at the two corpses that were gradually stiffening, while answering Li Mo's question.

Li Da's younger brother Li Qiang is not very old, but his body is already on par with his brother, and when he saw his brother squatting on the ground to check the corpse, he also squatted aside and watched.

"Childe! It seems that these two people's kung fu should not be weak, but I don't know why they came to assassinate Childe? Li Da pulled the hand holding the knife from the corpse, forcefully pulled the handle out of the corpse's hand, and pointed to the thick calluses in the corpse's hand due to holding the knife and said to Li Mo.

Li Mo thought about what happened before and after, and slowly shook his head: "These two people are not here for me. ”

The two men in black both appeared in the merchant's room, and neither of them broke into his room, it was obvious that they had already come to investigate, and tonight's attack was just a direct target.

Thinking that there had never been such a thing since Shang Shang and he came to Jiuzhi Mountain, Li Mo's puzzled eyes couldn't help but turn to the bedroom where Shang Shang and Wu Meiniang lived together.

Are these people here for her?

"Childe! What to do with these two people? Li Da threw away the knife in his hand, clapped his hands, and pointed at the two people on the ground.

"Whatever you want!"

Since he couldn't find any clues from the corpse, Li Mo simply gave up continuing the search, waved his hand, and motioned for Li Da to dispose of it at will.

Li Da and Li Qiang, one by one, dragged the two corpses out of the courtyard and turned them out of the courtyard to the forest behind the house.

The yard is full of bloodstains, and the smell of rust in the air makes people want to vomit, I am afraid that such a place is unlivable! Li Mo looked at the three connected houses, sighed slightly reluctantly, and stepped into the house.

"How?"

Seeing Li Mo enter the house, Shang Shang and Wu Meiniang immediately stood up and looked at Li Mo together.

"Nothing to be found." Li Mo shook his head, but his gaze flashed lightly when he swept over Wu Meiniang.

"How so?" The merchant looked out of the courtyard in disappointment.

The two men in black made a ruthless move to kill them, and at a glance they knew that they were veterans in the middle, this time they couldn't hit it, and the people behind the scenes would not give up, if they couldn't find out who did it, did they want to live in such a fearful way all the time?

"The person who came was a veteran, and there was no sign of what he was carrying, so I really couldn't tell where it came from." Li Mo's tone was full of suppressed anger.

"So what do we do now?" Wu Meiniang looked at the two of them left and right in fear.

To tell the truth, if it weren't for the businessmen by her side tonight, I am afraid that if there are ten more of them, she would have already made a sword revenant, and Wu Meiniang at this time was like a frightened bird, and even the darkness outside the house would make her terrified.

"The yard still needs to be cleaned, let's go to Zhuangzi for the time being!" Li Mo thought about it, and he could only make this decision.

"It's good!"

Shang Shang took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, took a shirt from the cabinet and put it on his body indiscriminately, Wu Meiniang saw that she was so neat, and hurriedly followed suit.

After the three of them were dressed, Li Da and the two also finished disposing of the two corpses.

The five of them extinguished the candle in the house, leaving only one torch in their hands, looking at the blood stains in the courtyard, knowing in their hearts that these could only be cleaned up after dawn, so they left the house without looking back.

After a night of tossing, when they arrived in Zhuangzi, Li Mo and the three of them were already exhausted, Li Da's mother Feng Shi beckoned the little girl to boil hot water, and the three of them washed indiscriminately, fell asleep on the bed.

It was not until noon on the second day that the merchant suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the unfamiliar tent roof, and hesitated for a moment before remembering what had happened last night.

The little girl waiting outside the door saw that she was awake, and hurriedly fetched water and waited for her to freshen up.

After she finished cleaning herself, she saw Li Mo, who was already standing outside the door and waiting.

A azure lake silk shirt was attached to the slender and upright Li Mo, even though he still had dark circles on his face after staying up all night, he looked much better than last night's red and angry eyes.

"Bring food into the room for the girl."

Li Mo stepped into the room and explained to the little girl who turned around to go out, and then sat down in front of the businessman.

"Where's Mei Niang?" The merchant looked at Li Mo and asked where Wu Meiniang went.

"She's in the yard next door, and she's already had breakfast, so you don't have to worry." Li Mo's gaze carefully roamed the merchant's face, and only then did he let go of his mind when he was sure that she was okay.

"You're coming to me, but what's the matter?" Shang Shang turned his face a little uncomfortably, although the two had been together for a long time, Li Mo's eyes that seemed to devour her still made her a little unbearable.

"Merchant!" Li Mo withdrew the gaze that remained on Shang Shang's face, and said, "I thought about it, the two assassins last night really came strangely. ”

"Oh?" The merchant raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Mo, who seemed to have gained something.

"I've been living with you in Jiuzhi Mountain for two years, and there has never been such a thing, why did Wu Meiniang only come here for a few months, and then an assassin found Jiuzhi Mountain?" Li Mo looked directly into the eyes of the merchants.

"What do you mean...... Are those people aiming at Mei Niang? The merchant's brows furrowed subconsciously.

If these assassins are here to find Wu Meiniang, then it can explain the question raised by Li Mo just now, but who would want Wu Meiniang's life?

"Could it be ......" Shang Shang's eyes flashed, and he whispered in his mouth.

"Not bad! That's exactly how I feel. Li Mo stood up, took the words from the businessman's mouth and said: "In this matter, I have already asked Li Dafeige to pass on the book to clarify Li Zhi, and Li Yan is also on his way to come." ”

"You told Li Zhi about this, aren't you afraid that he will be impulsive? What if he did something? "The businessman was a little worried.

"It's okay! There will be a sense of proportion, besides, isn't Wu Meiniang okay now? Li Mo shook his head, as if he was not at all worried about the coming storm.
