Shi Qingxue's heart fluttered, and she subconsciously held her breath, and then she seemed to hear her heart fluttering and pounding.

Ah Bao's hand tightened tightly, and the two of them took a few steps back into the room, and then the screen covered the figure, and they could see the scene outside through the faint moonlight.

I saw a bright knife poke in through the crack in the door, and the door was pushed wider open, and then a black-clothed and masked man entered.

The man couldn't see his face clearly, only revealing a pair of eyes with a fierce light, which was not terrifying.

Shi Qingxue felt that her hand was clenched a little tighter, and she looked down at Abao on the side.

Abao also took out a bright dagger from his arms, Shi Qingxue's eyes trembled, but it was too late to stop it.

The man in black was attracted by the bright light of the dagger, and immediately locked on to the target, swinging his knife at the two of them.

Shi Qingxue's eyes were quick, and before Abao was impulsive, she grabbed Abao's wrist and dragged the person back, kicking over the chair on the side at the same time.

The chair was right in front of the man in black, and the man in black couldn't dodge, so he happened to trip and fall into the mud.

Shi Qingxue pulled Ah Bao back to the bed, took the dagger in Ah Bao's hand, and aimed and threw it before the man in black could react.

With such a short aim, the man in black was stabbed in the wrist of his right hand without even having time to dodge.

"Ahh The man in black let out a scream like a pig, and the big knife fell to the ground.

Shi Qingxue didn't give him a chance to recover, stepped forward quickly, kicked away the big knife, then picked up the teapot on the table and slammed it on the head of the man in black.

The man in black couldn't get up from the ground, and he fell limply again.

Silence returned to the room.

Shi Qingxue stood for a while, and when she saw that the man in black did not move again, she took out the dagger from her arms, squatted down, and tentatively poked towards the nose of the man in black.

Oh, and gas.

Shi Qingxue also breathed a sigh of relief, only then did she think of Abao, and hurriedly looked back.

I saw Abao standing next to the bed, in the dark, his expression couldn't be seen clearly, Qingxue only vaguely saw that he kept looking at her.

"What's wrong?" Shi Qingxue was inexplicably a little weak-hearted.

Apo avoided her gaze and also walked over, pointing to the man in black on the ground, "What is he going to do?" ”

Shi Qingxue frowned in embarrassment, and said, "You go and get a rope in the baggage, let's help him tie it up first, otherwise it will be troublesome when he wakes up." ”

A Baoxin said: Since you are so worried, it is better to kill people directly.

But he just thought about it in his heart, and didn't really say it, so he obediently did what Shi Qingxue said.

The two worked together to tie the man in black to the back of a chair and tie it in many loops to make sure that he was no longer a threat to them.

Only then did Shi Qingxue have the leisure to light the oil lamp and take off the veil from the face of the man in black.

The face of a middle-aged man who is completely unfamiliar is revealed.

Shi Qingxue originally guessed that someone in Kyoto knew that she was coming to save Mo Junyang, so she sent someone to assassinate her, but she was not too surprised, and she didn't notice the surprise that flashed on Abao's face when she saw the face of the man in black.

She thought about it for a moment, and then searched out all the things in the arms of the man in black.

In addition to some bottles and jars, there was also an iron token carved with an eagle flying high with wings outstretched, and five vicious wolves were surrounded by the eagle, all of them with their heads held high to the eagle.

When I turned over the back, I saw a 'gold' word engraved on it.

Shi Qingxue had never seen such a token, and looking at the pattern and material, it didn't look like it was made by the Mo country, but it looked like it was a product of the Northern Liang country.

After all, the eagle and the wolf are both spiritual symbols revered by the Liang Kingdom, representing courage and strength.

Shi Qingxue pinched the token and thought for a while, but still couldn't get the point, so she had to hand the token to Abao and asked, "Do you know this?" ”

Ah Bao stared at the token tightly for a full quarter of an hour before shaking his head and muffled, "I don't know." ”

Shi Qingxue: "......"

Do you dare to lie and be careful!

Abaona's face was full of complexity, and it was clear that he had seen this token.

It doesn't feel like a bargain, but this killer doesn't look like such a powerful character - otherwise she wouldn't have been knocked down in three or two clicks.

Qingxue couldn't figure it out, who sent this person so generously to kill her?

"Hey!"

She couldn't figure it out, so she had to put this matter aside for the time being, simply packed their luggage, and then pulled Abao and quietly climbed out of the window.

"It's not safe here, let's find a place to shelter from the limelight!"

Abao behaved very well-behaved at this time, and had no opinion at all, so he obediently followed Shi Qingxue and left.

In fact, Shi Qingxue's decision was also very correct.

As soon as they left the inn with their front feet, the inn, which claimed to be the largest in Meng'an, suddenly caught fire, and the innkeeper, shopkeeper and all the guests died in the fire.

No one was spared.

The next day, the news spread all over the streets.

When Shi Qingxue and the others heard the news, they were eating breakfast at a breakfast shop.

The shopkeeper described the fire house last night vividly, how the fire was so fierce and ferocious, and how it screamed so badly, as if he had seen it with his own eyes and heard it with his own ears.

Shi Qingxue's hand shook, and the steamed bun held by the chopsticks fell on the hot soup and splashed on her sleeve, she reacted and hurriedly wiped it with a handkerchief, but the expression on her face was still a little trance.

"What's wrong with you?" Apo asked with concern.

This question was very soft, but it still startled Shi Qingxue.

She first glanced around in shock, and then seemed to come back to her senses suddenly, but looked at Abao blankly, "What did you say?" ”

Ah Bao frowned, and asked again, "Are you okay?" ”

Shi Qingxue shook her head, looked at Abao for a long time, and said, "It's okay." ”

After a while, she couldn't help but ask, "Abao, don't you think it's strange?" As soon as we left the inn last night, the inn caught fire for no reason, and it was almost like it was coming for us......"

Although she added 'like', she actually affirmed the answer in her heart.

Qingxue never believed in so-called coincidences.

Originally, she thought that the killer was big enough, but she didn't expect those people to kill her at the expense of the entire inn.

It's scary to think about!

It is also thanks to them that they walked quickly, otherwise there would be their bones in the ashes today.

But Shi Qingxue couldn't figure it out, she didn't have anyone else in the ward when she went to the Northland, not to mention that she suddenly fell into trouble and wandered to Meng'an - how could such an adventure be discovered by the enemy so quickly?

It wouldn't be true to say that those people had been following her all the time.

After all, at any time on this road, it will be easier for her to disappear into this world silently than last night.

Why......

Abao glanced at the pedestrians coming and going on the street, suddenly put down a silver ingot, pulled up the green snow and was about to leave.

Shi Qingxue was caught off guard, staggered forward two steps, and couldn't help shouting, "Abao, what are you doing?" Don't worry! ”

Her voice was neither loud nor small, but it was enough for the people around her to hear it clearly.

Suddenly, several people turned their heads to look at her.

The goals are uniform, and it is difficult for Shi Qingxue to see it.

Qingxue was wondering, a short and fat man closest to her changed his previous appearance of concentrating on eating, walked up to her, and asked solemnly, "Who is the girl's name?" ”

Shi Qingxue saw this person's fierce and vicious appearance, and was displeased: What kind of thing are you, why should I tell you?

The short and fat man didn't realize that his attitude was annoying, and asked, "Where is the 'Abao' in your mouth?" ”

As soon as he asked, Shi Qingxue felt a shock in his hand.

Shi Qingxue lowered her eyes to look at Ah Bao, a hint of thought flashed in her eyes, but she quickly changed to a calm and windy expression, and took Ah Bao into her arms with her backhand, as if inadvertently covering Ah Bao's face, revealing only the back of her hairy head facing the man.

She replied casually: "I just called my own brother, he is the eldest baby of our family, so I usually call him 'Bao', is there any problem?" ”

The man frowned, and looked at the boy who was hiding in Shi Qingxue's arms and couldn't see his appearance at all, with confusion and hesitation on his face.

Shi Qingxue didn't wait for him to think clearly, so he grabbed the luggage on the table and left directly.

She didn't speak again, and when she left the store, she pulled Apo into a corner, and then hid through the pile of grass piled up on the side.

As she expected, after a while, three or five men turned into the alley and hurried away.

After Shi Qingxue waited for the alley to return to quiet, she took out two new coats from her baggage and changed them into each, before pulling Abao back to the street.

Now she didn't dare to take a leisurely stroll, but found a deserted corner before stopping again.

During this period, Abao took the word 'well-behaved' to the extreme, just like a ragdoll, at the mercy of Shi Qingxue.

When the two of them finally stopped to catch their breath, Apo maintained a posture with his head lowered again, motionless, as if trying to stiffen himself into a stone sculpture.

Shi Qingxue refused to let him go easily this time, and asked in a deep voice: "Anyway, what's going on?" ”

Abao didn't dare to look at Shi Qingxue, and still said, "I don't know what you're talking about." ”

Shi Qingxue smiled, and was laughed at by Abao.

Is this child really blind? It's just that she didn't pay attention once or twice, can she still be stupid to the end?

She disdained to talk to Abao, and asked directly: "I'm too lazy to go around in circles with you, you tell me the truth, last night's assassin, and the fire is coming at you?"

Also, what does the word 'Abao' mean, and why do those people react so much when I call you 'Abao'? ”

She asked all the questions, but before they could be answered, a serious voice came from behind her.

'Presumptuous!' Abao's name is also something that you and other ordinary people can call indiscriminately? ”

When Shi Qingxue heard the sound, she turned around and saw a tall man dressed in a military uniform and holding a sharp sword, standing less than two feet away from them.

Majestic, imposing.
