Chapter 303: Edgeworth's Murder (10)
"A box of jewelry is a bit less!" , Nie Xiaohu shook his head.
"The price is negotiable, Nie Zhutou will make a price!" , the hooked nose showed a happy look.
"Let me think about it!" , Nie Xiaohu pretended to frown, as if he was thinking about something.
"Nie Zhutou, are you waiting for your reinforcements? Then you won't have to waste your time! ”
Eagle Hook Snort smiled and said, "Your reinforcements have long been lured away by my people, and the markers you left along the way have already arrived in Wind and Rain Town at this time, right?" Giggles! ”
"Then I'll make an offer!" , Nie Xiaohu's heart sank, but his face was as calm as water.
"How much?" Hooknose then asked.
"I want all the money you make from selling illicit salt!" , Nie Xiaohu said happily.
"You're ......"
"Zheng! Zheng! “
The hooked nose was about to attack, and suddenly the sound of blades intersecting came from behind him, mixed with Tang Yibin's scolding.
"Roar! Nie Zhutou, you still have a hidden pile! It's just a pity that I have it too! ”
Hooknose smiled and said, "Which of the two of them will die?" ”
"Solve you first, and it will only be your people who will die!" , Nie Xiaohu's eyes narrowed, revealing a cold killing intention.
"You're not going to be caught?" , Cao Xiaohui's right hand pressed on the hilt of the sword hanging from her waist.
"Xiaohui, it seems that Binzi is more hands-on over there, you go over to help, I'll deal with this guy, you fight quickly, and then come over and arrest him", Nie Xiaohu whispered in Cao Xiaohui's ear.
"Well, be careful!" , Cao Xiaohui nodded, and walked in the direction where Tang Yibin made a sound.
"Don't do it yet!" , hooknose suddenly shouted.
Nie Xiaohu was startled, and before he could react, the "corpse" on the ground suddenly moved! I saw that the corpse turned over one by one, and hugged Nie Xiaohu's legs with both hands!
Just between this lightning and flint, Eagle Hook Nose reached out and slapped it on his waist, and a silver soft sword bounced out like a poisonous snake, Eagle Hook Nose held the sword in one hand, and the sword light went straight to Nie Xiaohu's chest like a bolt of lightning!
"Brother Tiger be careful!"
At this moment, Cao Xiaohui, who had just taken two steps, screamed, shook her body, and blocked in front of Nie Xiaohu in the moment!
"Poof!" With a soft sound, the tip of the sword pierced into Cao Xiaohui's chest, Cao Xiaohui snorted, grabbed the sword body with both hands, and blood slowly flowed out of the middle sword.
"Xiaohui!" , Nie Xiaohu roared angrily, and his eyes were about to crack.
At this time, Tang Yibin, who was fighting at the edge of the clearing, also saw this scene, and couldn't help but be furious, and roared, "Huzi!" ~~~", and then launched a desperate attack, but the opponent was also a master of swords, and the two were evenly matched, and it was difficult to get out for a while.
Eagle Hook Nose was also stunned, and then his left hand also held the hilt of the sword, and said with a cruel smile: "Then you will die together!" ”
Just when the hook nose was about to use his strength to push the sword forward, Nie Xiaohu suddenly saw Cao Xiaohui's hands holding the sword body, and the hands were wearing the pair of gauntlets made by the ghost hand in the sky, and at this moment the gauntlets were facing the opposite hook nose.
Nie Xiaohu didn't think much about it, opened his hands, and slapped on the backs of Cao Xiaohui's two hands, and heard "whoosh!" A few sounds broke through the air, followed by a hooked nose that let out a "Ah! With a scream, he abandoned his sword with both hands and covered his eyes, blood gushing from his fingers.
"My eyes! My eyes! ”
The hook nose screamed, and the figure staggered back a dozen steps, and Tang Yibin, who was fighting, and the sword master were also stunned by this sudden scene, and both of them stopped in unison.
Just when Nie Xiaohu kicked away the person on the ground and hugged Cao Xiaohui horizontally, the sword master suddenly moved, and Tang Yibin immediately swung his sword to meet him, but to Tang Yibin's surprise, the man just shook his sword, and his body flipped two heels in the air, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of the hooked nose.
Listen straight to "poof!" With a bang, the long sword pierced through the heart of the hooknose, and then the body of the hooknose was kicked away, "Poof! He fell to the ground with a thud, and the next moment, the man's sword-holding hand waved towards Nie Xiaohu, and the long sword in his hand flew out of his hand, drawing a silver-white long line in the air!
"Huzi be careful!" , Tang Yibin was shocked.
Nie Xiaohu was already grief-stricken at this time, and he had no intention of dodging at all, but just hugged Cao Xiaohui, who was already unconscious, turned his body quickly, closed his eyes at the same time, and two lines of tears slipped down silently.
"Poof!" , followed by a "Ahh The sword master did not stop, his body rose and fell a few times, and disappeared into the darkness.
Nie Xiaohu's body shook suddenly, but he didn't feel the slightest pain, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, he slowly opened his eyes, but found that the sword didn't shoot him, and when he turned his head again, he saw that the person holding his legs had the long sword stuck in his chest, and he was already dead of anger.
"What a ruthless method, not a single live mouth is left!" , Tang Yibin had come to Nie Xiaohu's side at this moment, and said angrily.
"Binzi, you stay and clean up the scene!"
After Nie Xiaohu finished speaking, he rushed away like crazy with Cao Xiaohui, who was unconscious and her face was like gold paper......
"Fortunately, it didn't hurt my heart, but the wound was a little deep, and I lost too much blood, and I needed some time to recover," Liang Da, the most famous miracle doctor in Luoyang City, said slowly while holding Xu Ran.
"So she's okay?" , Nie Xiaohu's eyes showed a look of surprise.
"It's okay", Doctor Liang shook his head slightly.
Nie Xiaohu raised his head and let out a long breath, he had never been so nervous since he crossed over.
A month later, Cao Xiaohui's injuries were no longer serious, and she became lively again, and that evening, Nie Xiaohu and Cao Xiaohui walked along the forest path by the Luoshui River.
"Xiaohui, I'm really damned, I was too careless at that time, so I fell into his way, and you almost gave me your life!" , Nie Xiaohu blamed himself again and again.
"Brother Hu, don't say that, Tang Yibin told me, weren't you going to block the sword for me at that time? People are so moved that they don't want it! Cao Xiaohui turned her back, and a blush flew on her cheeks.
Nie Xiaohu gently hugged Cao Xiaohui from behind, and said firmly: "Xiaohui, I, Nie Xiaohu, swear, no matter what situation I encounter in the future, I will never let you be hurt in the slightest!" ”
"Hmm", Cao Xiaohui nodded slightly, snuggled in Nie Xiaohu's arms, and closed her eyes happily.
"By the way, has the hooked nose been identified?" After a while, Cao Xiaohui opened her eyes and asked.
"No", Nie Xiaohu shook his head and said, "That's a eunuch!" ”
"Eunuch?" , Cao Xiaohui couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Well, at that time I thought he was like a eunuch, the way he spoke, and the movements of his hands, but I couldn't find out who he was or where he came from.
Chang'an also replied, all the eunuchs in the palace, large and small, performed their duties, and no one was missing, and Lu Mengcai's body was also found near the scene, none of the people involved were alive, and all the clues were broken. ”
"These people are really meticulous in their work!"
"Well, our opponents are no equal!"
Nie Xiaohu turned his head to look at the sparkling Luoshui River, "But I feel like I'm getting closer and closer to them......"
