Chapter 175: Assassination

He Muzhi has been missing the boy more and more recently, but she has never been able to do it, after all, she doesn't know the name of the person, only the birthmark in the shape of the crescent moon, and she doesn't know anything else.

She felt sad, but she still buried her thoughts deep in her heart, maybe only in this way would she not be so sad.

Early the next morning, He Xingyao and Mrs. He talked and chatted together, and by the way, they sent Xu Xiaorong away.

After Xu Xiaorong and his family left, He Xingyao looked at Mrs. He and said, "Mother, didn't you tell the child before, do you know about the Sword Tower?" ”

Mrs. He smiled and nodded.

At this time, Chu Yuan also spoke: "Yes, yes, but madam, what is the origin of the Swordsman Tower?" ”

Mrs. He nodded, then looked at the people who were surrounding her, and said with a smile: "Yes, in fact, whether it is the Sword Guest Tower or other places, it has its own origin. ”

After a pause, she continued: "According to legend, there are 1,000 knives on each floor of the Swordsman Tower, and the tower has more than 3,000 layers, stacked layer upon layer, and those knives are all on the battlefield, and because of this, the violent atmosphere of the Swordsman Tower is quite heavy, and no one has ever gone there, because it is said that the people who have been there have never returned, and it is really not worth it." ”

After saying this, He Xingyao suddenly remembered the place that his father had said, the location of the Sword Guest Tower, which was actually in Xiwu City, but the specific location was never known.

Mrs. He watched everyone listen with relish, and felt a little proud in her heart for a while.

After a long while, she spoke, "Xingyao, you've been inquiring about that Swordsman Tower, what is this for?" Are you going to go to the Knife Tower? ”

He Xingyao nodded, to be honest, she didn't want to hide her mother, but there were some things that she really couldn't say clearly at the moment, and they didn't know much about Mo Yu's affairs in the Sword Guest Tower, everything was just luck.

After thinking of this, she looked at Mrs. He and said, "Mother, if you can tell us about these things, even if it is a great help, we must go to see this place in the Sword Tower, not to mention what you said just now, which makes me even more curious." ”

Mrs. He felt that her eldest daughter was sincere in her words, and couldn't help but praise: "My good boy, since you have said so, my mother will definitely help if she can help, if you go to the Daoke Tower later, you must be careful to protect your own safety, you know?" ”

Hearing this, He Xingyao burst into tears for a while.

At this time, He Muzhi, somehow, suddenly stood up from her position, she looked at Mrs. He, and cleared her throat directly, and then said: "Mother, my daughter wants to go out with her sister and them this time, so that she can see the world." ”

As soon as she finished saying this, Mrs. He's face instantly became very ugly, and she said in a cold tone, "Mu Zhi, what are you messing around?" Your sister went out with her friends, what do you have? Even if you're going out with all of them, have you ever thought you're going to cause trouble for others? ”

This slapping of his head and face made He Muzhi's eyes, which were originally starry-eyed, suddenly dim.

She just wanted to go out with her sister to see the world, but she thought that if there was fate, she might be able to meet the boy back then.

But how could she tell anyone about that? All this is just her own imagination.

The more He Muzhi thought about it, the more he felt extremely sad in his heart, but there was no good way to do it at present.

At this time, He Xingyao suddenly relieved the siege and said: "Mother, my sister just wants to follow me out to see the world, after all, she has been at home for so many years, she must also want to contact more people and understand more things, you, you will allow her!" ”

After saying this, Mrs. He sighed, "It's not that I don't agree, it's just Xingyao, you also know your sister, my mother is afraid that she will be wronged outside, just like when you went out, I don't want to be scared all day long, I don't want to keep my two daughters out, and I don't want others to talk nonsense." ”

Why doesn't He Xingyao know his mother's love for her son?

But she had to go out, and He Muzhi seemed to have made up her mind, and she was a little difficult for a while.

At this time, Chu Yuan suddenly spoke: "Yes, madam, there is not much difference in age between Miss Muzhi and Xing Yao, my sister can go out, why can't my sister go out?" Besides, the two sisters are taken care of by me and Yan Yunzhan together, and they will definitely not suffer any grievances, so don't worry! ”

Mrs. He originally wanted to say something, but Chu Yuan had already said it to this point, and she was embarrassed to continue to press step by step.

After thinking of this, she said in a reluctant tone: "Okay, Xingyao, your sister wants to go out so much, then you must take good care of her, and you must take good care of yourself!" ”

He Xingyao smiled and nodded.

He Muzhi was still angry and troubled, but now that the troublesome things in his heart have been solved, his mood is naturally much better.

In this way, after a few more days, Mrs. He really couldn't stand this parting, so she directly talked to the housekeeper early one morning, and went out until noon and didn't go home.

Taking advantage of such a gap, He Xingyao, He Muzhi and others quickly packed up their things, hired a carriage together, and headed for Xiwu City.

He Xingyao and He Muzhi sat in the carriage together, and the two of them enjoyed the scenery along the way, while Chu Yuan and Yan Yunzhan were driving outside and chatting, which was very interesting.

On the way to Seibu Castle, they happened to come to a barren mountain, the road there was very rough, and it looked a little dangerous, but it could only pass the carriage, and there were so many stones on the road that the carriage was not very stable.

"Oops! Sister, this, why is this road so bad? I feel so uncomfortable sitting in this car! ”

He Muzhi complained.

He Xingyao saw that his sister was so dissatisfied, so he comforted: "Good sister, when we go to Xiwu City, my sister will definitely take you to the inn to have a good rest, now bear with it for the time being, and then talk about it when we get to the place, okay?" ”

He Muzhi pursed her lips, as if she wanted to say something, but she still didn't say anything after all.

Chu Yuan, who was sitting outside, lifted the curtain and said to them: "Xingyao, this road is relatively narrow, so you are good, I will protect your safety outside." ”

He Xingyao smiled and nodded.

At this time, some men in black fell from the sky and tried to kill Chu Yuan.

The knife is deadly, and every move is ruthless and abnormal, making it hard to think of anything else.

At this time, Yan Yunzhan was also fighting hard there, but at the same time, he had to take care of the safety of the carriage, so it was very hard to fight with those black-clothed people, and it was not much better on Chu Yuan's side.

Sure enough, under the attack of those black-clothed people, Yan Yunzhan and Chu Yuan couldn't take any advantage at all, the two of them were injured early, their clothes were torn a lot, and their faces and clothes were splashed with blood, looking extremely embarrassed.

At this time, He Xingyao and He Muzhi didn't know much about the situation outside the carriage, but they just felt that the sword and sword shadow were very dangerous.

He Xingyao couldn't help it after all, she wanted to get off the carriage to see the situation, who expected He Muzhi to nest tightly in her arms, and then said with a trembling tone: "Sister, the fighting outside is so intense, I'm so scared, really scared, so scared, don't go out, okay?" ”

Listening to what her sister said, He Xingyao hesitated for a while, but she knew very well in her heart that no matter who sent those black-clothed people, no matter how strong Chu Yuan and Yan Yunzhan were in martial arts, they would not be able to withstand so many people after all.

So, she gently patted her sister's shoulder and said, "Good sister, my sister will come in to accompany you in a while, you don't have to be afraid, besides, Chu Yuan and Mr. Yan have been protecting the safety of the two of us, and we can't take revenge, so let my sister help them!" ”

Hearing this, He Muzhi came out of He Xingyao's arms, but the whole person was still in a trance.

In this way, He Xingyao took advantage of his sister's inattention and got out of the carriage.

As soon as she got out of the carriage, Chu Yuan was beaten by the man in black and fell into her arms, and the two of them were thrown out of the distance at once.

And Yan Yunzhan's side, the situation was not good at all, He Muzhi was very scared because she was alone in the carriage, so she thought that her sister had left the carriage, and it was really boring for her to stay inside, so she got out of the carriage defenselessly.

It's a pity that at this time, as soon as one of the men in black saw a girl in front of him, he grabbed it directly, and tied his hands by the way.

Yan Yunzhan was a little anxious for a while, so he hurriedly shouted: "Don't, don't, this girl is innocent, you shouldn't let innocent people get involved." ”

As soon as he finished saying this, the people in black laughed at him.

I saw one of the men in black say in a mocking tone: "Innocent? Mr. Yan, you are a master in the rivers and lakes, you have been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and you can still say the word innocent, what a joke! ”

Another man in black also echoed: "Yes, this is simply a joke, what is innocent or not?" I'm afraid that the people who have died under Mr.'s sword for so many years are the most innocent! ”

Yan Yunzhan was reluctant to pay attention to the statements of these men in black, but he also knew that he had done some wrong things, and at that time, he was just a fledgling kid on the rivers and lakes, but because of his excellent appearance and serious and rigorous attitude towards martial arts, he soon set off a wave on the rivers and lakes.

Through the words of the two men in black, he had some thoughts in his heart, but he didn't know if those thoughts were true.

At this time, He Muzhi was so panicked that she was at a loss, tears were flowing in her eyes, and her body was trembling vigorously, which made people know that she was very scared at a glance.

He Xingyao shouted hoarsely in the distance: "Yan Yunzhan, Mr. Yan, you must help me save my sister, save my sister, thank you!" ”

As soon as he finished saying this, Chu Yuan directly spurted out a large mouthful of blood, his whole body was heating all the time, and his consciousness was gradually blurred, but his eyes were always open, which was strong and strong.

He Xingyao looked at his trembling body, and his face looked abnormal, so he stretched out his hands and stroked his forehead.

Sure enough, Chu Yuan actually had a fever at this time, they hadn't entered the city yet, this was just a wilderness, and the timing was really not good.

Those people in black are still extremely rampant, He Xingyao originally wanted to enter the fight, but unfortunately Chu Yuan's situation made her unable to ignore it no matter what, and naturally she couldn't leave people to fight with those men in black.

Fortunately, Yan Yunzhan's kung fu was okay, although it was a little difficult, he still rescued He Muzhi from the man in black.

On the way to fight, Yan Yunzhan showed unprecedented courage, his eyes were like hell Shura, every move could kill people, and the whole person exuded an aura that no one could approach.

It's just that they each look a little embarrassed.

As soon as He Muzhi escaped from the hands of those black-clothed people, she almost tripped over a stone, but because of the narrowness of the road, the carriage directly overturned to the bottom of the cliff, and she was so frightened for a while that she fainted directly.

At this time, Yan Yunzhan couldn't help but feel a little guilty when he looked at He Muzhi's face that was too frightened and unstable even in his sleep.

He likes He Xingyao, so he cares about anything about He Xingyao, He Muzhi is her sister, and he naturally has to protect it well, but it's a pity that he didn't do his best after all.

But it doesn't matter, as long as you do it, as long as you are open-minded, then it's nothing.

After thinking of this, Yan Yunzhan hugged her directly, and then came to He Xingyao's side.

Chu Yuan's consciousness became more and more blurred, he barely looked at He Xingyao with his eyes open, and a large mouthful of blood spurted out from the corner of his mouth again.

He Xingyao was too distressed, so he spoke directly: "Chu Yuan, Chu Yuan, don't scare me like that, you must be good, you must be good, we have all said that we will go to the Sword Guest Tower together, do you understand?" Don't scare me, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't ......"

He Xingyao was crying when he spoke, his tone was trembling, he was very depressed, and he was very scared.

Seeing this, Yan Yunzhan could only put He Muzhi on the ground again, and then helped carry Chu Yuan on his back.

He looked at He Xingyao's hand-wrenched appearance, and he was very distressed.

"Xingyao, it's okay, I checked his pulse just now, he was just a little seriously injured, and he will be fine after a period of recuperation, you don't have to worry."

When Yan Yunzhan spoke, his tone was exceptionally calm, but in He Xingyao's opinion, this was just a comforting word.

But she was grateful to him, so she didn't say anything.

After a long while, she looked at the person in front of her and said, "Yun Zhan, thank you for saving my sister, but now I have to trouble you to carry Chu Yuan to the town to find a doctor, I'm really embarrassed!" ”

Yan Yunzhan said: "Xingyao, you don't have to blame yourself so much, and you don't have to feel embarrassed, after all, this time we were assassinated, it was really unexpected, and I don't know who those black-clothed people are, I'm really afraid that they will come back again." ”

As soon as he finished saying this, Yan Yunzhan's whole person suddenly snorted, he fell to the ground, and Chu Yuan was also thrown down by him.

Seeing this, He Xingyao hurriedly walked over and shouted, "Yun Zhan, what's wrong with you?" Are you also seriously injured? ”

Yan Yunzhan shook his head.

He looked at the once bright girl in front of him, but now he had such a worried look, he was really a little distressed, and he was reluctant.

It's just that he didn't say anything after all, and he accompanied him silently.
