Back at the pavilion, Li Xiaofei lay on the bed and asked Murong Ling, who was meditating cross-legged: "When you arrive in the capital, it's time to relax, why are you still so tense, aren't you tired?" ”

Murong Ling stretched out his finger and pointed to the top of his head: "If you want to live, don't sleep too early, someone will come to kill us tonight"

Li Xiaofei couldn't believe it: "When I came back this time, I gave all the gifts that should be given, and I never collided with all the adults, even if it was Lord Yuan, it was just lip service." How could anyone kill us? ”

Murong Ling closed his eyes and said: "It's not them, it's the killers of the Zhongyi Hall, they have already received a bounty forty years ago and hunted down my master for forty years, this time I come back, they will definitely come to kill me and restore my life."

Li Xiaofei was happy: "How can there be such a thing, forty years have passed, and the person who collected the money at the beginning is only afraid that he is seventy or eighty years old, and the emperor has decreed that he is no longer wanted, what are they more energetic?" ”

Murong Ling took a breath: "They are trustworthy, and if they receive the money, they will definitely do things, this Zhongyi Hall is not a waste of fame." The emperor's decree is just that the court will no longer chase and kill, but the pursuit of the rivers and lakes is still there, and the bounty will not expire."

Li Xiaofei became happy, it was rare for this mute-like Murong Ling to have so many words today: "I said, today is not like your usual appearance, there are too many words, I wonder if you are fake"

Murong Ling sighed: "The main thing is that there is no money, if you die, I will have to borrow money to bury you, so you can't die"

Li Xiaofei almost sat up from the bed: "If you have the money to buy me a coffin, do you want to watch me die here?" ”

Murong Ling stretched out his hand: "You can give me money to try"

Li Xiaofei took out the few remaining strings of money from his arms and handed them to Murong Ling, Murong Ling shook his head: "It's not enough to buy a pair of Nanmu coffins, forget it, when you earn enough money, you can die."

Li Xiaofei almost spurted blood, this Murong Ling either didn't speak, and when he spoke, he was even more choking than Meng Crow. He was about to return the favor, when Murong Ling made a silent gesture and pointed to the beam above his head.

There is dust falling from the beams of the house, and there are people on the roof!

Murong Ling pointed to the bottom of the bed again and motioned for Li Xiaofei to get in, Li Xiaofei didn't need to hesitate, turned over and got out of bed and got in.

Murong Ling lay down, clasped his hands behind his head, closed his eyes, and the tiles on the roof were gently uncovered.

The six people jumped down from the roof with knives and slashed according to Murong Ling, before the knife reached Murong Ling, Murong Ling bounced up from the bed, held the long knife in the air, turned it around, and smashed all the knives of the six people into the wall.

Seeing that the knife was flying, the six killers skillfully took out a short knife from their arms and stabbed at Murong Ling who fell on the bed, but Murong Ling took the initiative to swing the knife and slash over, and the two people in the middle flashed away, and Murong Ling directly slammed the door open and rolled out of the courtyard.

The six killers drew their respective knives and chased them out, surrounding Murong Ling in the courtyard.

Under the moonlight, Li Xiaofei only saw the shadows jumping around outside, and the sound of ping-pong was constant, he thought about it, he was not a powerless scholar, and he should help Murong Ling at this time. So he took out his sword from under the quilt and hooked his waist and went out quietly.

Murong Ling sensed that Li Xiaofei was going out, so he swung his knife and forced one of the assassins in Li Xiaofei's direction, and then turned around to resist the attack of the other five.

The assassin with his back to Li Xiaofei saw that Murong Ling's back suddenly had a flaw, so he swung his knife and rushed over, and before he ran a few steps, Li Xiaofei's sword had already pierced through his back to his chest. The assassin turned around in pain: "Sneak attack from behind, what kind of hero is it, despicable!" Then he fell to the ground and struggled.

The remaining five Assassins were saddened, swinging their swords harder and harder, but slowing down. Li Xiaofei and Murong Ling fought against their attacks.

When Li Xiaofei's speed slowed down, Murong Ling jumped behind the five assassins and slashed them all to the ground with a swing of his sword.

The five did not die immediately, but scolded while struggling: "If you want to kill, give us a good time, cut off our meridians, and humiliate us, it's not a gentleman's doing"

Li Xiaofei asked: "Do you want to save them", Murong Ling shook his head: "They are all like this, if the mission is not completed, if I don't kill them, they will also commit suicide"

The guards outside the door also rushed in at this time, and saw six people lying on the ground ready to be arrested.

The six did not beg for mercy, each biting open the sachet hanging from the chests of the others, and then foamed at the mouth and died on the ground after a convulsion.

Murong Ling went back to the room to pack his luggage, but Li Xiaofei was stunned in place, and the guards were busy carrying the body out for disposal.

After Murong Ling cleaned up, Li Xiaofei also entered the room: "Do you really want to leave overnight?" Didn't we kill them already? ”

Murong Ling carried his burden and threw the other one to Li Xiaofei: "There are many of them, it is impossible for the two of us not to sleep all the time, I still want to sleep well"

The two gave an explanation to the guards, and then ran from Jinling City to Shou County overnight.

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse on the road, and the two did not dare to slow down, and rode all the way until the people and horses were tired, and then stopped at the door of a family to rest.

Murong Ling was still meditating cross-legged and pranayama, Li Xiaofei leaned against the door and gasped, and after a while, there was movement in the house: "Boss, are you here to be a bandit, call the children up"

"The bandits are moving a lot, you probably heard it wrong, most of them are wild cats and wild dogs wandering around the door"

In order to give the male owner a proof, Li Xiaofei meowed a few times.

"What a thief! Hurry up and shout! ”

A gong sounded in the house, and in a short time many people came with torches. Murong Ling looked at Li Xiaofei: "It's really not good for you to learn cat barking, if you don't learn it, we can still sleep well."

Murong Ling pulled Li Xiaofei to stand up, folded some firewood and grass outside, and lit it to signal to the crowd who came over.

Hundreds of people carrying hoes and scythes and kitchen knives came, and the middle-aged man led by him asked, "What are you two doing at the door of people's houses late at night?" ”

Li Xiaofei returned: "Rest for a while"

The middle-aged man said: "Is there anyone who runs to the gate of someone's house in the middle of the night to rest?" ”

Murong Ling replied at this time: "Catch the thief", while taking out his guerrilla general big seal and shaking it in front of the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man hurriedly knelt down: "The villain is Xiang Xiaoyu, the head of the local Sanshui Pavilion, who has seen the guerrilla general, and the adult came to catch the thief late at night, and he is willing to lead the villagers to help the general."

Murong Ling snorted, pointed in the direction of Jinling, and Xiang Xiaoyu led the villagers to chase over there.

Murong Ling and Li Xiaofei untied the rope of the horse unhurriedly, and followed the villagers on horseback, until dawn, when they finally met six people dressed in black who were riding horses and straddled knives.

As soon as the six people saw Murong Ling behind the crowd, they rushed over, bumped into many villagers this time, and got up from the ground with a flat pole to Xiaoyu: "Greet me with all the guys in your hands, and there will be a reward for killing the thief!" “

In an instant, the hoe, sickle, and kitchen knife all flew towards the six people, although these six people said that their martial arts were good, but they could not stand the large number of villagers, and they all fell from their horses in an instant, and the villagers rushed up to give them the result on the spot.

Xiang Xiaoyu came over to ask for credit, Murong Ling gave a few strings of money from his arms to this Sanshui Pavilion Chief, and turned around to Xiaoyu and gave it to everyone.

Li Xiaofei felt that this Xiang Xiaoyu was a character, so he shouted at him: "How about going with me to Shou County to be the commander in charge of city defense and patrol?" “

Xiang Xiaoyu patted the dirt on his body: "Can you still drink and gamble if you go?" If not, I'll be my pavilion chief."

Li Xiaofei patted his chest: "Yes, you just need to help me manage the people and guard the city well, and you can drink and gamble for money."

Xiang Xiaoyu went over to lead the horse to Murong Ling: "Then I'll really go"

The villagers in the back shouted: "Xiang Xiaoyu, don't you want your wife and children?" ”

Xiang Xiaoyu looked back and smiled: "You help take care of it, I will send the money back, with these two adults here, are you afraid that no one will take care of your wife and children?" ”
