Chapter Eighty-Nine: First Impressions Matter

Xiao Maha was reluctant to recall those past events, especially in front of a junior student.

However, he didn't see the slightest ridicule in Sima Jiu's eyes, only sincerity and understanding.

After a long time, Xiao Maha let out a long sigh of self-deprecation.

"In the past, in the Dejiao Palace, when the old man saw Chen Shubao who was so hungry that he gnawed on the wooden pillars in the hall, the resentment in his heart had dissipated a lot."

"His Chen family has lost the old man, and he has lost the old man's fox slave, but the Chen family is also the benefactor of the old man, the old man used to crisscross the territory and kill people, but aren't those people's families also the same as the fox slave?"

"The old man asked Ying to be stationed in Pingyao City, and he came to stop all this."

"The real Xiao Maha was already dead when Jiankang fell."

After Xiao Maha sighed, he threw the long sword in his hand to the ground, indicating that he accepted Sima Jiu's surrender.

Seeing this, his guards also dropped their swords one after another and stopped resisting.

Sima Jiu and Li Jiancheng saw that Xiao Maha had been persuaded and the overall situation had been decided, and their hearts were at ease.

Suddenly, a shrill voice appeared in everyone's ears.

"But why do I think it's most appropriate for you to die here?"

A man in black slowly jumped from the roof into the courtyard.

Li Jiancheng gasped after noticing the star-shaped pattern on the man in black.

Secretly exclaimed: "Star Net Assassin! Defeat evil! ”

Then, he walked to Sima Jiu's side worriedly and whispered a few words to Sima Jiu.

"General Xiao: From now on, the affairs of this world will have nothing to do with you, you should go underground and catch up with Uncle Chen." The man in black spoke in a mean tone, and the long sword in his hand stabbed at Xiao Maha like a poisonous snake.

Xiao Maha was already running out of oil at this time, how could he have the strength to block the surprise attack of this Star Network assassin, he only felt a cold neck, and his eyes gradually darkened.

After the man obliterated Xiao Maha, the long sword in his hand did not stop swinging, and only in half a breath, the guards who laid down their weapons were all killed.

"Wasn't Xiao Maha captured by Yang Su? How could you die here? Sima Jiu's mind was blank, watching the man in black kill more than a dozen people cleanly, but his expression did not change in the slightest, the merchant did not know where the man in black came from, and vigilantly escorted Liu Meiniang's side.

"Xiao Maha, his strength is not bad, even if I do it myself, I don't dare to say that I can win it steadily, but I didn't expect that today, he was defeated by you."

"Your sword is special."

The man in black turned his head to look at Sima Jiu, and the greed in his eyes was fully revealed.

The man in black was full of gloomy and cold air, which was completely different from Xiao Maha's tiger-like domineering, which made Sima Jiu feel a little uneasy.

"Shengxie, he is my friend, if you don't want to go against the Li family, you know what to do." Li Jiancheng stared at this Star Network assassin and said word by word.

At this time, Sima Jiu found that around the small courtyard, more than a dozen people in black had quietly appeared, and their clothes were not much different from the person who was called the victory over evil.

Obviously, Sima Jiu and the others were already surrounded by the men in black.

Li Jiancheng's words made Shengxie a little restrained, however, he still stared at Sima Jiu with a sword.

Sima Jiu said word by word: "If you kill Xiao Maha, tomorrow the imperial army will attack the city, and there will be chaos in the city." ”

"Xiao Maha is the goal of my mission, and things outside the goal have nothing to do with me."

"Besides, the city is full of rebels and traitors, and everyone can be killed."

"Your sword is special, I like it, perhaps, it can keep you from dying."

Sheng Xie's voice was low and hoarse, which made Sima Jiu feel deeply uncomfortable.

"Haha!"

Seeing that Sima Jiu was extremely angry, Sheng Xie laughed out loud with joy, like ridicule, and even more like intimidation.

At this moment, Li Jiancheng saw that Sima Jiu had put his hand on the hilt of the harmless sword, so he walked up to him and whispered: "Star Network Secret Agent, abnormal identity, attacking Star Network Secret Agent is equivalent to rebellion, boy, you must not be impulsive." ”

Sima Jiu let out a long sigh, then turned his head to look at Xiao Maha in a pool of blood.

A generation of heroes died so badly, which can't help but make people feel sad.

Then, Sima Jiu slowly removed his hand from the hilt of the sword.

Shengye looked at Sima Jiu with interest, but when Sima Jiu gradually regained his composure under Li Jiancheng's persuasion, he shook his head regretfully.

Then, after jumping onto the roof, he turned around and prompted: "The Wang Gong you are looking for has been arranged to return to Bingzhou last night. ”

"The empire strictly ordered, Wang Jun is dependent on rebellion, and he will die, and I hope that Haihan, the eldest son of Li."

After Shengye made a gesture on the roof, in an instant, the Star Net killers who surrounded Sima Jiu and the others retreated silently.

Sima Jiu glanced at the messy corpses in the small courtyard, and he didn't know that today's action was considered a success? Or a failure?

By this time, it was already dark.

Sima Jiu heard a cough coming from behind him, but it was Liu Meiniang who woke up.

Suddenly, Sima Jiu seemed to remember something, and he hurriedly searched around his waist and took out a medicine bottle.

When he left Tianchi Medical Village, Nalan Lingyun had given him some healing pills.

Produced by Tianchi Medical Village, I want to come to an extraordinary product.

Liu Meiniang's face was pale and scary, but her spirit was not bad, what happened in the small courtyard, the merchant had already told him succinctly.

Sima Jiu walked to Liu Meiniang's side, took out a pill, and handed it to Liu Meiniang.

The moment the pill was poured out, a fragrance instantly spread, and it was obvious that the pill had a good effect.

"It stinks, whatever, I don't want it."

Liu Meiniang saw Sima Jiu staring at her with concern, and her heart trembled for no reason, and she wanted to turn her head.

The young man helped her and pressed the pill to her mouth, and the shopkeeper Liu had no choice but to open his mouth.

She only felt a bead enter her mouth, and then it melted in an instant, and her mouth was full of medicinal fragrance.

"You dislike the smell of medicine handed down by the doctor, the taste is not good, but the merchant doesn't look down on the medicine of the doctor?" Sima Jiu watched Liu Meiniang swallow the medicine obediently, and then joked.

"Childe, I'm talking about your unclean hands."

Liu Meiniang took a sip and felt the pain in her body eased a lot at once.

"Shopkeeper, twenty-three brothers died, and there were many injured brothers, the task should be completed, right?" A merchant walked up to the two and whispered.

Liu Meiniang's eyes darkened, and Sima Jiu also bowed his head to show respect for the dead soldiers.

They completed their mission, but suffered heavy casualties.

Yang Xuanting's task of attacking the general was completed, but he failed to rescue Wang Jue's uncle Wang Yan.

Subsequently, Sima Jiu saw that Liu Meiniang was a little tired, so he knew that the effect of the medicine had attacked, so he didn't say much, but asked Feng Li to tell Liu Meiniang the location of the commission to be paid, and then walked to Li Jiancheng's side and was about to say something.

Suddenly, there was a loud horn sound in the distance, followed by a tremor of the ground caused by the galloping of thousands of horses.

Sima Jiu realized that Yang Su's army had entered the city, but he couldn't help but worry when he remembered that Yang Su had set the law that all those who failed to win between the two armies would be beheaded.

Today, I don't know what he will do to the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Pingyao City.

Yang Suwen Taowu is an important minister of the dynasty, with monstrous power, and he is the guide of Sima Jiu's inner career.

Today, Sima Jiu may be able to meet him for the first time.

How to make a good impression on his career guide, Sima Jiu couldn't stop thinking in his heart.

Li Jiancheng, as the son of Tang Guogong, has a poor relationship with the Yang family, so naturally he does not dare to slack off.

It sounded that the sound of the trumpet came from the West City Gate, and the General's Mansion was not far from the West City Gate, so after Sima Jiu and the others agreed with the merchants on some matters to continue the cooperation, they rushed to the West City Gate of Pingyao City.

Along the way, many Han soldiers and rebel corpses lay on the road, and from time to time, there were two armies fighting.

When Sima Jiu and the others rushed to a junction, they rushed towards more than ten horsemen who rushed to the murderous scene, and the leader was Yang Xuanting.
