Chapter 14: Ai Lu is missing [Gu Muxi's addition]

Seeing that there were so many treasures in the secret room, Xu Mu had no choice but to take off all the armor, and the original plan to secretly leave in the armor was also nullified, and he now had to start rummaging through the easy to carry belongings in the secret room.

However, there were no coins in the secret room, all of them were valuables, and most of them were not suitable for Xu Mu to carry with him.

For example, the golden sword, Xu Mu gritted his teeth and decided not to take it, although he was very reluctant to take it, but he also knew that he would definitely not be able to take it out.

Xu Mu mainly took gems and jewelry, and the value of these things was not low anyway.

Ai Lu said before that the treasures of the secret room were at least no less than 100 gold coins, and it seemed that she didn't know the situation either, because all the treasures in the entire secret room were taken together, and it definitely exceeded 500 gold coins!

The more Xu Mu put treasure in his pocket, the more uncomfortable he felt in his heart.

Could he still take the rest of the treasure with him later? Does he want to leave it to the bastards of Earl Ollie? Does he want cheap outsiders?

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, Xu Mu packed up his things, and easily pried off all the magic crystals in operation.

His arms and waist were bulging, but Xu Mu looked back and saw that there were still so many treasures in the secret room that he couldn't take out, so he gritted his teeth fiercely.

Since I can't take it away, I won't cheap you bastards!

Xu Mu returned to the bedroom and dragged the carpet in, and then directly lit it with a candle, he was going to burn the entire secret room and bedroom!

Seeing the flames getting bigger and bigger, Xu Mu's indifferent face couldn't help but smile.

I don't have it, and you don't have to!

As for whether the whole house will be burned down?

What does that have to do with me, anyway, he doesn't tell Ai Lu about it.

Back in the bedroom, Xu Mu came to the window and looked down, Ai Lu said before that there was a wall in the backyard that she knocked down, which was a special passage for her and her brother to escape and play when she was a child.

The fire in the secret room is getting bigger and bigger, and the black smoke has spread into the bedroom, I believe that it will not be long before someone finds out that this place is on fire, and he has to leave quickly!

The height of the second floor Xu Mu was okay to accept, pushed open the window to get ready, jumped down directly, and unloaded the gravity impact with a roll when he landed, and landed safely.

"Who!"

Unexpectedly, there happened to be a team of guards patrolling nearby, and they were not surprised to see a man in a short robe and hood in the courtyard of Ailu's house.

Xu Mu glanced lightly, ignored it and hurriedly ran towards the wall that Ai Lu had said.

Seeing this, the guards hurriedly followed to catch Xu Mu, but at this time, a sharp-eyed guard noticed something unusual on the second floor.

"Captain! The second floor is on fire!"

"What?!"

Seeing a thick black fog coming from the window of the house on the second floor, the leading captain stopped, looked at Xu Mu's back as he fled, and snorted angrily and ordered: "Hurry up and move water to extinguish the fire!" And you, hurriedly order the city to be locked! Solve the fire first, and then turn over the town after the city is locked, and you must catch this sneaky guy!"

Finding a hole in the wall covered by the grass, Xu Mu went straight through without saying a word, and when he turned around and saw that the guards did not follow, he guessed that he had gone to extinguish the fire.

However, Xu Mu was not at ease, now he had to meet up with Sleta and leave, otherwise if he stayed in this town for a second longer, there would be an increase in the possibility of an accident!

Now that Ai Lu has obtained the book he asked, and the value of the treasure he took away is greater than Ai Lu's capitation money, Xu Mu is content.

When she came to the city gate to find Sresta, Sleta saw that Xu Mu was sweating profusely, looking anxious, and her clothes were bulging, and she seemed to have gained a lot.

Seeing that Xu Mu was safe and sound, Sleta was also relieved in her heart, she had been worried about carrying her luggage at the city gate in front of her.

The two didn't talk much when they met, Xu Mu took Sleta's little hand and ran.

As she leaves town, Sleta also greets the gate guards she had met a few days earlier.

The guard looked at the brother and sister who were in a hurry to leave, and couldn't help but shake his head, he couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic for the days when he lived in the village.

"The earl has an order, lock the city for three days!"

An armored guard with the coat of arms of Count Ollie came with an official document, and he shouted to the guards at the city gate who were in a daze: "The earl's house has just set fire to a man in a short robe and hood, and the count is now furious! Remember, if you see a man in a brown robe and hood, stop him immediately!"

The guards at the city gate were in a daze, and suddenly heard what the guards said, and couldn't help but be shocked: "What did you say?!"

...

On the way back, Xu Mu told Sleta what he had gained in Ailu's house, of course, he didn't say anything about arson, after all, education should be grasped from an early age, and it would be good to have a bad one like him.

Of course, he wasn't afraid that Sleta would talk to Ai Lu that Xu Mu had set fire to Ai Lu's home...

Seeing that Xu Mu had gained so much, Sleta was naturally happy, so that wherever they went in the future, they could do whatever they wanted with such a sum of money, and they didn't have to worry about living expenses.

Xu Mu and Sleta hurried back to the forest where Ai Lu was, and the two of them groped for the marks they left before as they walked, and it didn't take long for them to return to the place where the three of them were hiding before.

But there were no deer on the dead stakes, and there were a mess of footprints on the wet ground, and their horse was well-equipped and tethered to the tree next to it.

Even the campfire was still burning.

Sleta didn't dare to shout when she noticed that something was wrong, she touched the simple shed and found that Ai Lu was not in it, and couldn't help but panic: "Brother, Sister Ai Lu, she..."

In fact, when Xu Mu came out of the town, his mood began to become very bad, because Ai Lu had concealed the facts in front of him, and the danger of the commission was not as simple as he imagined.

You must know that the king even framed his own nobles for the book that Ailu said, and the Count of Ollie was bound to find this book, just in the state that he was going to copy the town, you can see how much this kingdom attaches importance to the book of Ailu's family.

He originally wanted to go back here to have a good talk with Ai Lu, return the books to her, and then the two of them cleared, and Xu Mu left with Sleta.

Although this is a bit ruthless, after all, the two of them can be regarded as friends in a month, but Xu Mu doesn't like the feeling of being deceived, especially this kind of deception may even threaten his and Sresta's lives.

But back at the hiding place, the deer is gone...

Xu Mu leaned down to check the footprints on the ground, and couldn't help frowning for a long time.

Sleta waited next to Xu Mu, not daring to come out.

The wind blew and the leaves fell to the ground.

After thinking about it for a long time, Xu Mu sighed and seemed to decide something, he took down the treasure on his body and stuffed it into Sleta's hand, and then took off all the spare equipment on the horse, and stuffed the rest of the belongings into the horse's camel bag.

Holding the glittering treasure in her hand, Sleta looked at Xu Mu with a strange expression and asked, "Brother, what are you doing here?"

"You take your horse and leave here with these things. Xu Mu changed his indifferent tone and commanded.

"Where is Sleta waiting for her brother?"

"Don't wait for me and Sister Ailu, you should be careful alone in the future, these things are enough for you to find a place to live with peace of mind. ”

"Huh?" Sreta panicked, "Brother, don't you want Sretta..."

Xu Mu's indifferent eyes made Sleta shut up suddenly, and he said coldly: "Now I don't need you, get out of here quickly!"

"Brother—" Sletta's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Hurry up and get me away!"

Xu Mu took off the horse's reins and tied them to Sresta's hand, and even slapped Sresta on the head, and Sresta fell directly in tears.

"Brother... I don't want money, can I stay..."

"Let me go!" Xu Mu roared, directly picked up Sreta and threw it on the horse's back, and then slapped the horse's buttocks, and the horse carried Sreta away.

Sleta turned around on the horse and looked at Xu Mu's indifferent face, her mouth opened to call for something, but in the end she didn't say anything.

After the horse and Sleta left, Xu Mu unsheathed the one-handed sword on the ground, grasped the hilt of the sword tightly, and ran towards the spread of the messy footprints.

Xu Mu carefully looked at the footprints in front, among them were the footprints of four people, one of which was Ai Lu's, and the other three people were of different sizes, but the main one was one of the footprints, which was deep in the soil...

This shows that there is one person who is fully heavily armored, and it is estimated that the equipment of the other two people cannot be found anywhere... In a world without firearms, people in heavy armor are like tanks, and few people can be completely targeted without magic.

After Xu Mu's investigation and guessing, Ai Lu was afraid that he would not be discovered, and then he was chased out by the three of them.

After all, it's not that far from town, so it's not surprising that someone accidentally came here.

Could it really be that the three of them Xu Mu were unlucky?

Xu Mu's indifferent eyes under the hood did not have any emotion.

If someone asked Xu Mu, was he sure he could deal with three enemies, especially since one of them might be a person in full armor.

His answer was simple, it was impossible.

In fact, just now, Xu Mu could have taken the treasure and left with Sleta, regardless of Ai Lu's life and death.

Xu Mu knew exactly what he could do, but he couldn't.

Man dies for money, and birds die for food.

Reason is this principle, but how to live and how to live is the choice he has to make.

After Xu Mu recognized this world that couldn't be rotten anymore, his courage became very big, not that he had grown, but that he knew that he could fight hard to do anything.

However, fighting with one's life does not mean that you don't care about your own life, on the contrary, it is for your own life, so you have to do your best to act when dealing with anything.

If you abandon and ignore Ai Lu, Xu Mu really can't do it...

This is a matter of principle, Xu Mu will work hard to do what he has promised others and what he can do, although this principle is not valuable.

But it was because of this tangled inner emotion that he proved that he did not come to this world as a walking corpse, he was a living person, and he couldn't accept the death of his friend who had lived with him for more than a month.

Ai Lu is one of the few kind people Xu Mu has seen in this world, she treats people gently and kindly, without an aristocratic frame, although she occasionally has a little temper and stubbornness, but she always tries to consider others.

Although Ai Lu deceived him and deliberately didn't tell him, he was really angry!

However, how to punish Ailu is also up to him, who is a friend, to decide!

So even if it's life or death, he has to find out! Even if he fights for his own life!

It's best if Ai Lu doesn't have an accident, but if Ai Lu dies, even if he robs it, he has to rob Ai Lu's body!

Although the magical contract between him and Ailu does not specify that he is responsible for the personal safety of his client, it does not mean that he will go against his inner feelings.
