In the small talk of the three of them, the East was soon bright.

Mo Xuan and the three of them left the house early and had a simple bite to eat in the inn. Li Qing beckoned Erlong to get eight delicious food, Erlong agreed, and also saluted Miss Li, it turned out that this girl and the people in the inn had known each other for a long time.

And when Mo Xuan and the three of them were eating, drinking, and chatting, there were two tables of people sitting next to them, and they also used breakfast. One of the tables was dressed in coarse linen robes, presumably desert laborers, while the six people at the other table were dressed in wide black robes, which were so large that their faces could not be seen at all.

At first, Mo Xuan didn't pay attention, but when the tenth concubine secretly kicked him under the table and gave him a look, Mo Xuan understood a little.

While he was talking, Yu Guang swept the two tables of people, and Mo Xuan found that the people at the two tables were only looking down to eat, and there was no conversation, which seemed to be very abnormal.

In order not to get into trouble again, Mo Xuan quickly finished breakfast, said goodbye to Li Qinglian, left the inn with the tenth concubine, and walked briskly according to the route shown on the map.

And just a few minutes after Mo Xuan and the others left, the black-robed guests at the table also finished breakfast, paid and left the inn, looked outside the inn, and then followed the footsteps of the ten and Mo two left, and followed from a distance.

...

"You deliberately asked Li Qing for mercy last night, did you find anything at that time?" Walking on the road to the ghost pit, Mo Xuan asked.

The tenth concubine snorted and said: "When I heard that she was surnamed 'Li', I guessed that she should have a certain relationship with the Li clan, and the Li clan, as a big clan in this vicinity, must know more or less about the situation in Dancheng, so I asked her like that." ”

"I see, I didn't expect you to have explored the situation around here so clearly, it seems that you came prepared this time. I'm really getting more and more curious, why do you care so much about the existence of the 'Thunder Robin' under the desert?Although I haven't seen it, I've at least heard of the terrifying destructive ability of the 'Thunder Bird', what is your intention in searching for it so tirelessly?" Mo Xuan stared at the Ten Concubine tightly.

The tenth concubine glanced at Mo Xuan and said softly, "Didn't you promise that I wouldn't ask anymore?

Mo Xuan sighed, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and said, "If you don't want to be curious, I only came to the Barren Academy for a short stay, and then I only agreed to help you because I found an abnormality in the Source Qi Tower." But after a few days of contact, I suddenly had a sense of danger, I always felt that this matter was not so smooth, and there would even be a threat to my life. So, for my safety, and to dispel my suspicions about you, I want you to tell me what you're hiding, even if it's a little, okay?"

Hearing this, the tenth concubine frowned slightly, and said: "Didn't I tell you, I was looking for the 'thunder robin' for the purpose of curing diseases, what else can I hide." ”

Mo Xuan smiled and said, "It's okay to deceive children for this reason, so I'll be exempted." Although I don't know how to heal, I have been roughly exposed to it, and there is no disease in this world that needs to be cured by divine beasts, so you should tell me some truth. ”

The tenth concubine paused, turned her head to look at Mo Xuan, and asked, "Since you know that I am lying, why didn't you say it before, but waited until this time to suspect it?"

Mo Xuan said: "Because I didn't pay much attention to what you said at that time, the reason why I chose to help was purely out of curiosity. But since I arrived at this inn, I realized that this is not what I thought it was at all, so I had to figure it out. ”

Hearing this, the tenth concubine stopped, looked at Mo Xuan, and asked in a cold tone: "Who are you?" These words, these thoughts, are not like a fifteen-year-old boy can say. ”

"And who are you? Pretending to be an ordinary white robe, hiding in the Deserted Academy, but being able to do these things in private, this is not like what a little girl who is about to fifteen years old can do. Mo Xuan asked with a smile.

The tenth concubine was stunned for a moment, looked at Mo Xuan with a cold face, and did not speak.

Mo Xuan kept smiling, took out the map from Liqing's arms, handed it to the tenth concubine, and said, "I do mean to help you, but as a person along the way, I really don't want to take my life in vain." Although we have made a worship, my life is precious, so I hope you can tell me the truth, otherwise we will have to separate here. ”

Hearing what Mo Xuan said, the ten concubines' eyes instantly filled with a little anger, and they snorted coldly, and directly reached out to pick up the map.

However, the palm of his hand was already holding the map, but Mo Xuan did not let go at all.

"Let it go!" said the tenth concubine coldly.

Mo Xuan was unmoved, and said with a smile: "Is it so decisive? Actually, as long as you tell me a little real secret, I can continue to help you." ”

"No, I can fix it myself. The ten concubines bit their silver teeth, and with a force of their arms, they snatched the map and stuffed it directly into their arms, glanced at Mo Xuan coldly, stopped speaking, and walked directly into the distance.

The decisiveness of the tenth concubine was beyond Mo Xuan's expectations. Looking at the former's back, Mo Xuan shook his head helplessly, and sighed with a wry smile: "What a stubborn woman, but looking at her resolute attitude, there must be an ulterior secret between her and 'Thunder Robin'." ”

"But what kind of secret is this, alas, really, what is the matter with such a strict tone, is it so difficult to tell me a little, I will not say it. Mo Xuan complained, looking at the tenth concubine who had already walked a long way, and couldn't help but feel a little unable to let go.

"Forget it, since I once promised to help you, then be a good person to the end, who let you be my fourth sister." Mo Xuan shook his head and smiled, and quickly chased after him.

However, just as Mo Xuan started to catch up, with a slight movement of his ears, he suddenly heard the voice of someone behind the sand dunes not far away. When I looked up, there was no sign of me.

"Is it a hallucination?"

Mo Xuan was suspicious, but he had always been more convinced of his own perception, and after thinking about it, he quickly ran in the direction of the tenth concubine, found a place to hide in the sand dunes, and observed from a distance the place where he had found something wrong before.

Mo Xuan was prostrate in the sand, watching the way he came. Sure enough, after he waited patiently for a few minutes, six figures followed in the far rear.

"Sure enough, it's not a hallucination, it seems that they are being followed, but who are these people?" Mo Xuan thought, erasing the traces he had left on the sand, and then ran forward quickly, he was going to tell the tenth concubine about what happened.

The source qi poured into his legs, and Mo Xuan was like a puff of smoke, heading straight to the west. At this time, the tenth concubine had not yet used full speed, so after a while, she was caught up by the former.

Hearing movement behind her, the corner of the tenth concubine's mouth smiled, but it disappeared instantly, her face remained cold, and she walked lightly, as if she didn't notice anything.

"You're slow enough, it's been so long, you've only walked so far, it looks like you'll have to spend the night in the desert tonight. "Side by side with the tenth concubine, Mo Xuan spoke.

The tenth concubine glanced at it and said softly: "Don't you want to help me, then what are you doing with it?" ”

"I didn't want to come along, but when I was about to leave, I noticed that someone was following me, so I followed him. Mo Xuan had an expression of indifference.

"That's it, then you can go back, there's nothing to see. The tenth concubine's tone was flat and natural.

Mo Xuan looked at the tenth concubine suspiciously, and asked, "What, aren't you afraid?"

"What's there to be afraid of, since it's tracking, just let them follow. As long as they don't have the heart to stop talking, why should I worry? The tenth concubine said.

"You have such a big heart. Mo Xuan gave a thumbs up and said, "This is for people to follow, aren't you afraid at all?!"

"This is the sphere of influence of the Li clan, and the power of life and death is in the hands of the Li clan. No one would dare to kill people in violation of the law here, otherwise their names would appear on the 'kill list', and I don't think they would be so stupid. The tenth concubine said.

"What is that?Is it the legal power of the Li clan?" Mo Xuan asked.

"The Great Canon of Legal Power is owned by the Great Shi Clan, and in this remote desert north, only life and death have a deterrent effect. And this 'killing list' is the life and death list signed between the Mobei clans, but if someone kills people illegally, once it is verified, that person's name will appear on the killing list, and then that person can only go to heaven and have no way to enter the earth. The tenth concubine said softly.

Mo Xuan said: "But even so, even if the laws of Mobei are extremely strict, now we are being followed, and this place is so remote, if they kill people and oversell goods, then we will have no way to go to heaven." ”

The tenth concubine glanced at Mo Xuan, with a smile on her face, and asked, "Why is it 'us'?" Even if it's tracking, it's also tracking me." ”

"It's all at this time, don't raise the bar, I said the wrong thing before, okay? You better think about how to get rid of them. Mo Xuan said helplessly.

The tenth concubine stopped, looked at Mo Xuan, and said, "Are you apologizing?" Although I am not relieved of your mistakes, your apology is too insincere. ”

"What do you want, do you want me to bow down to you? Mo Xuan silently took a step back.

The tenth concubine smiled and said, "It's not necessary, but since you sincerely apologize, then you have to do something sincere!"

"What do you want me to do? I can tell you, I won't do anything like murder and theft. Mo Xuan looked at the tenth concubine with a hint of vigilance in his eyes.

"Who told you to steal and kill. The tenth concubine glanced at Mo Xuan, and said with a move in her mouth: "I want to say, if you really have the sincerity to apologize, then promise me that no matter what happens in the future, you will not suspect me, and you will not be able to use various excuses to find out my secrets, is it feasible?"

"That's what happened. Mo Xuan thought about it and felt that the tenth concubine's request was not too much, so he agreed. "Okay, I promise you, but you also have to promise me one thing. ”

"Say!"

"If one day I find out that the secret you said is a hurtful thing, then the agreement between us will be invalid, and I will not be merciful to your subordinates for the sake of you being the fourth sister. Mo Xuan's face was extremely serious.

Hearing this, the tenth concubine hesitated for a moment, and then nodded in agreement, and said, "Okay, a word is a decision, I hope you will count." ”

"A gentleman's promise, naturally counts. I will do what I promised you. ”

"Good!"

As she spoke, the tenth concubine raised her tender white palms.

Mo Xuan watched and made a covenant with him with high-fives.
