At night, the campfire in the camp was shining, and several people sat around it.

The surroundings were quiet, and no one spoke.

Shi Qingxue leaned on Mo Junyang, her eyes falling on the dim fire.

He didn't speak, and he didn't close his eyes and rest.

"What are you thinking?" Mo Junyang hugged the person tighter, and at the same time put his coat on her body, and then asked in a low voice.

Shi Qingxue also subconsciously shrank into her warm embrace, and asked rhetorically: "If your guess is correct, these people in grass clothes are really from the army, then who do you say they are?" ”

Mo Junyang didn't answer at first, and was silent for a long time before he whispered, "I don't know." ”

"Guess?" Shi Qingxue glanced up at Mo Junyang.

Mo Junyang was silent for a while, and his voice was lower and deeper, "It's not from the Shi family army, it's not from the military department, and it's not ...... from the city guard."

Shi Qingxue pulled a smile that was not a smile, and continued: "It is impossible for local officers and soldiers to appear in Kyoto, so only the internal guards will remain, right?" ”

Mo Junyang's thin lips were tightly pursed, not knowing whether he couldn't answer, or simply didn't want to continue the topic.

Shi Qingxue didn't continue to ask, but asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

No matter who the real culprit is behind the scenes, throwing these 'grass cowards' out is obviously trying to calm things down.

Mo Junyang: "What should be investigated, we still have to find out." ”

Shi Qingxue smiled, "You insist on this." ”

Mo Junyang raised his eyebrows slightly, "Otherwise, what do you think I will do?" ”

"I thought you'd help cover it up!" Shi Qingxue really thought so in her heart.

After all, this matter is full of mysteries, and now the clues are almost broken again.

It is very difficult to investigate further, not to mention that it is even more terrible than they imagined.

Mo Junyang shook his head, "Since you have checked, there must always be a result." ”

He has never been the kind of person who does not dare to face the truth.

Shi Qingxue nodded, and said, "Since that's the case, let's think about this matter again!" Let's start with what we can be sure of now.

Based on Ah Xuan's observation, this must have been the place where more than a dozen previous silver robberies took place. ”

Mo Junyang nodded, and followed her words: "Well, and these dead people are likely to be the same group of people who engaged in looting in the first place." ”

Shi Qingxue raised the first doubt, "According to the weight of silver, if you set off early in the morning, it is absolutely impossible to pass through this place in the middle of the night, and you will camp in the previous valley in advance." ”

Mo Junyang: "That's right, so the things they transport are definitely much lighter than silver." ”

"Then the question arises, where did the truckloads of silver from the treasury go?" Shi Qingxue asked.

"It's hard to say for the time being, but the tens of millions of taels of silver in the treasury are definitely very considerable, and I have ordered someone to thoroughly investigate the entire Kyoto, but I have not found the slightest trace."

Shi Qingxue realized, "Then there are only two possibilities left." Either the treasury silver had already been shipped out of Kyoto and disappeared without a trace; Or, it didn't exist in the first place.

Which guess do you think is more likely? ”

Mo Junyang's eyes were dark and dark, as if he wanted to suck someone in.

After he was speechless for a while, he still shook his head, "I don't know, maybe ......"

His voice was low and dark, as if he was carrying a heavy burden.

Slowly, word by word, he spit it out.

Shi Qingxue had to listen with twelve points of spirit, but at this moment, a whistle came from the woods, interrupting Mo Junyang's words.

Everyone who was originally drowsy under the light of the fire woke up suddenly, and their first reaction was to stand up, and with a slurp, they all pointed straight into the darkness.

It was also at this time that black shadows flew out like a charm.

Shi Qingxue didn't see it clearly at all, and heard the sound of weapons colliding.

Immediately after, she felt that her waist was tightly wrapped, and the whole person randomly rose into the air, and the sound of 'ping-pong' was in front of her ears.

She subconsciously grabbed Mo Junyang's collar, and a man's calm voice came from her ears, "Don't be afraid!" ”

Shi Qingxue was stunned for a moment, and she couldn't cry or laugh for a while.

This man, obviously at the last moment, the danger is imminent, and he still has the strength to comfort her.

I really want her to be like a delicate porcelain doll, in addition to personal protection, even the mood has to be taken care of.

However, after such a simple reassurance from a man, she was really not afraid at all.

Even if the bright sword light and sword shadow were in front of her, she still had the energy to observe the fighting environment.

About forty or fifty masked men in black armed with sharp knives fought with their men, and the fight was inextricable.

It was Mo Junyang, except for a short handover with one of the black-clothed men at the beginning, and after killing the person, he quickly broke away from the battle, holding Shi Qingxue to watch from the outside of the circle.

Shi Qingxue also had more opportunities to observe the battlefield.

She noticed that the masked men in black were of the same rank in terms of their dress and the weapons they used.

It has only been a few breaths since the whistle sounded, and if it weren't for their vigilantes, I am afraid that they would really be caught off guard by the enemy's surprise attack.

But even so, these men in black are still entangled with their people, the kind that is difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat for a while.

With a strong manpower and a numerical advantage, it was a fierce battle.

Shi Qingxue once again felt her heart beating rapidly 'plop' and 'plop'.

She grabbed Mo Junyang's hand tightly, and couldn't help whispering, "Junyang, do you want to help them?" ”

Now their own people did not have the upper hand, but there were too many enemies and they were menacing, and Shi Qingxue was really worried that Qu Yuexuan's group of subordinates would not be able to hold on.

"It's okay, you watch!" Mo Junyang patted the back of Shi Qingxue's hand and motioned for her to settle down.

The sharp eyes did not leave the battlefield for a moment, as if they were looking at something.

Then, at a certain moment, Mo Junyang suddenly spoke: "Midnight, it's okay, catch it alive." ”

As soon as the words fell, it was as if a switch had been flipped up.

The swords of the people who were originally struggling to deal with the enemy suddenly became sharper, and both their speed and strength were suddenly raised by a notch.

Fiercely struck at the man in black.

The change was almost instantaneous, and everyone worked at the same time.

'Ah', 'Ah', there were screams one after another, and then I saw the men in black being shot down to the ground, the kind that did not die, and then the knives were on the necks of those men in black.

The situation turned one-sided.

The few men in black who were still standing saw that the situation was not right, and wanted to retreat, but it was too late, Wei Ziye led a small group of people to outflank them from the rear and surround them.

The black-clothed men at the head glanced at their subordinates, and these people immediately raised their swords and wiped them on their necks, but they were still one step too late.

The dart in Mo Junyang's hand sent out and stabbed the wrists of these people steadily.

They let out a terrible scream, and as soon as their hands lost their strength, their swords fell to the ground.

Of the more than 40 black-clothed men who came to assassinate, about a dozen died, and the rest, although they looked miserable, were all captured alive.

Qu Yuexuan immediately fed them cartilage powder, so that they couldn't even bite their tongues and kill themselves.

Then they were tied up with ropes and thrown around the campfire like garbage.

"Jun Yang, what do you want to do next?" Qu Yuexuan walked up to Mo Junyang excitedly, although he didn't say it explicitly, he almost didn't engrave the word 'proud' on his face.

In the battle just now, more than a dozen people died on the enemy side, and on their side, no one died.

Mo Junyang glanced at the crowd around the fire, and said coldly: "You brought gold sore medicine, first give medicine to the injured people to recuperate, and take care of this group of people if they are not injured." ”

The smile on Qu Yuexuan's face froze, and when she looked at Mo Junyang's gaze, her smugness was all gone.

Although it is true that all of them are alive, many of them were still injured after the fierce fight just now. One of them was cut back from his right shoulder, and even in the darkness of the night, blood could be seen trickling out.

It's just that this person has been gritting his teeth, not crying out in pain, and not even saying a word.

But the more this happened, the more depressed Qu Yuexuan became.

Anyway, it's also a soldier cub he brought out, and if he is injured like this, he will also be in pain!

Qu Yuexuan held back all the excitement just now, and silently walked back to bandage the injured person.

As he passed through the 'captivity' zone, he happened to accidentally step on the hand of one of them, who let out a terrible scream.

Qu Yuexuan didn't seem to hear it, and slammed it a few more times, making the other party tremble in pain, and when tears and snot flowed together, it was as if he suddenly discovered the existence of the other party.

"Oops, I'm sorry, I didn't see that." He snorted casually, and then very slowly withdrew his foot.

The captive wanted to cry without tears: "......"

Damn it! Even if it's a fake, please be careful! Can you take the schadenfreude off your face first?

But no matter how angry he is, in such a one-sided situation, what else can this person say?

He could only silently retract his hand and stay away from Qu Yuexuan.

Qu Yuexuan glanced at him with disgust, and swaggered forward.

Shi Qingxue watched this scene the whole time, and couldn't help laughing.

This Qu Yuexuan really refuses to suffer at all!

Although it's a bit out of discipline to abuse the captives or something, but!

Everyone is bullied to the end, what kind of discipline are you talking about!

And Shi Qingxue also noticed a key detail -

"Jun Yang, where did Zichao go?"

Obviously, when he first faced the enemy, Zi Chao also tried to come over to help Mo Junyang, but later saw that Mo Junyang had all the strength to deal with the enemy, and then got involved in the battle.

But after the sword and sword, Wei Zichao disappeared out of thin air.

Shi Qingxue carefully observed and found that the four elite teams brought by Qu Yuexuan seemed to be missing a team.

Seeing that Qingxue found out, Mo Junyang didn't hide it, and said bluntly: "I'll let him go into the woods to have a look." ”

"Huh? Oh......"

Qingxue was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized.

Yes, this assassination was obviously organized and premeditated against Mo Junyang.

In addition to these assassins, there must be an orchestration behind the scenes.

Just as Qingxue was curiously looking into the woods, several figures came out of the shadows.

It was Wei Zichao and Qu Yuexuan's five subordinates.

I saw that each of them was holding a masked person who was also dressed in black, and pushed and walked towards this side.

The person Wei Zichao was grabbing, although he also covered his face, his clothes were obviously different from the other masked people.

Presumably it is the mastermind behind what they have been speculating.

Shi Qingxue's heart was relieved, and she began to wonder who this person was?

"Want to see it?" Mo Junyang asked in a low voice. Obviously, he has seen Shi Qingxue's eagerness to try.

Shi Qingxue retracted her gaze embarrassedly, but still nodded, "Hmm." ”

Mo Junyang took Shi Qingxue's little hand and walked to the mastermind behind the scenes.

When the man saw Mo Junyang, his pupils trembled violently, as if he wanted to avoid Mo Junyang, but he was fixed by Wei Zichao.

As Mo Junyang's hand was raised, the veil on the man's face also fell to the ground.

The excitement on Shi Qingxue's face stopped abruptly, and her pupils widened instantly, "It's you!" ”
