The shopkeeper has been hiding behind the counter, but he doesn't know what happened very well, he is about to be scared to death, and he didn't listen to the conversation between Ouyang Shengxue and the old man.

Although there were three corpses lying in the inn, in his opinion, Ouyang Shengxue's white-faced scholarly appearance could not be a wicked person, thinking that in the process of being afraid, the people who had beaten and killed had already left, so he simply bypassed the counter and rushed towards Xiao Er, as if he was eager to get some comfort.

Ouyang Shengxue naturally didn't have the heart to disturb the innkeeper and Xiao Er's you, me and me, he turned his head silently, and happened to meet the mother who was also looking at him in the corner.

It was a mother who looked young, but she wasn't really young, and the specific age could still be roughly seen, after all, the child she was holding in her arms was almost nine to ten years old, but her face and temperament looked younger.

Xu is also just as Ouyang Shengxue guessed, he comes from a wealthy family, and he is very careful about his own maintenance, which is far from being comparable to the women of ordinary people's families.

The mother comforted the child in her arms softly, then took his hand, walked to Ouyang Shengxue's approach, slowly saluted, and said softly, "Thank you for the rescue." ”

Ouyang Shengxue waved his hand slightly and said, "I'm just doing things according to my own heart, although I'm curious why you were chased and killed by a cultivator, but if you don't want to say it, I don't want to force it, but since I have encountered it, I still want to help you solve the trouble." ”

He is indeed following his own heart, but many times he will ask for trouble, even if he hates trouble in his heart, but he is such a person.

He doesn't wonder if the mother and son will have any extraordinary identities, or there are hidden secrets in them, he just needs to decide that the old man is wrong to kill the ordinary people who have no power to restrain the chicken, then he will go on firmly, and he will save the mother and son to the end.

is also similar to the incident encountered in Liang County, although it was Xiao Yao'er's request, but it was also Ouyang Shengxue's intention, so he killed all the mountain bandits in Liang County in one night.

Ouyang Shengxue is a very contradictory person, very decisive when decisive, and very indecisive when he is gentle.

But as long as he agrees, he won't change easily.

The mother was a little hesitant, but maybe Ouyang Shengxue had just saved them, and purely judging from her face, Ouyang Shengxue was indeed easy to bring a good impression to people, and her smile was soft and soft, she was just entangled for a moment, then nodded and said, "Actually, there is nothing that can't be said." ”

She temporarily entrusted her child to the relieved shopkeeper and Xiao Er, and then came to the door with Ouyang Shengxue, standing under the eaves in front of the inn, the wind and rain were shaking, and the rain curtain fell down the eaves, like a string of pearls.

It's not the first time that the innkeeper and Xiao Er have encountered this kind of thing, but it's really not to the point of being dead, and the inn is opened in a position that is a little far away from the town, and there are often people in the rivers and lakes.

They were a little panicked at first, but when they came to their senses, in fact, their receptivity was okay, and they didn't fall into a state of complete stupidity, but staying with the three corpses, they still felt a little numb in their hearts, so they escorted the child to the back of the counter, and silently looked at the two figures outside the inn.

Ouyang Shengxue listened carefully to the mother's whisper, and when he heard a more familiar name, he couldn't help but interrupt the other party's words, and asked curiously, "The Yue Shiting you are talking about, but the doctor of the Imperial Stage, Lord Yue?"

The mother nodded slightly, her expression became a little sad, she looked back at her child, and said: "I am Yue Shiting's wife, it seems that because Shiting has offended someone, one day he suddenly said that he would temporarily send our mother and son out of the city, although I don't understand what happened in my heart, but I know that Shiting is doing this, it can't be for no reason, he is worried about the safety of our mother and son." ”

"We have been away from the capital for many days, but we don't know where to go, thinking that maybe we will be able to go back soon, and we don't dare to leave too far, just try to go to a more remote road, and just the day before yesterday, the news of Shiting's death came from the capital, saying that he was killed hundreds of miles outside the east city gate. ”

Speaking of this, her tone became choked, her hands covered her mouth, the grief in her emotions, the unwillingness in her eyes, and even some hatred that she didn't know to show to anyone, made her gradually begin to break down a little.

Although the murder of Yue Shiting has not yet reached the point where the world knows about it, it is no secret for hundreds of miles near the capital, and it has even reached here, to the ears of their mother and son.

This is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for the Yue family.

Although it is not what happened just now, Yue's emotions are still on the verge of collapse, she has been holding back only because her child is by her side, and she does not want the child to understand the grief of losing her father, although the child is in the inn at this moment, she still can't hold on.

Ouyang Shengxue didn't know much about this matter, but he probably heard about Yue Shiting's murder along the way, and the Xuanzheng Division and Langya Jingzhao Mansion were making every effort to investigate.

The fact that there were monks outside the mountain in the capital did not spread outside the capital, and even many people in the capital did not know what kind of battle took place outside the four city gates, especially the south city gate, that night.

But Ouyang Shengxue had a few encounters with Yue Shiting in the capital, and he was also surprised and even shocked when he suddenly heard that Yue Shiting had been killed.

He could clearly know what kind of feeling the Yue family was feeling at this moment, and the truth was far more than just learning the news of her husband's death, but that there were still people who were sparing no effort to hunt down and kill their mother and son.

There must be a connection between the person who pursued them and the person who killed Yue Shiting, there is no doubt about it.

"I don't know what happened in the capital, but Lord Yue is indeed a kind person, now that someone is chasing and killing you, you can't go back to the capital, since Lord Yue sent you out of the city in advance, it is probably expected that something might happen to you, and the people who can kill Lord Yue outside the capital should not be underestimated. ”

Ouyang Shengxue thought back to what the old man said before he died, this was indeed a big trouble, but since he had made a decision, he would not be afraid of this kind of trouble.

What's more, he had a good impression of Yue Shiting, even if he hadn't had too in-depth conversations, but he was an acquaintance after all, and he had the idea of protecting Yue's mother and son.

It is obviously impossible for the mother and son of the Yue family to return to the capital.

Unless they are finding out the real murderer of Yue Shiting, once their mother and son appear, it indicates that they will face the danger of being killed all the time.

Ouyang Shengxue looked at the Yue clan and said very seriously: "If you can trust me, I will protect you with me these days, if there are any more chasers, I will solve them one by one, although I can't make any promises, but I will also try my best to find out the murderer of Lord Yue, and during this period, you need to go to a place that people can't easily find, change your identity, and live strongly, this may also be Lord Yue's wish." ”

No matter where the mother and son of the Yue family go, they will never return to the capital until the case of Yue Shiting's murder is solved.

Ouyang Shengxue followed her own wishes, at least to ensure that her mother and son were escorted to a safe place.

Yue agreed to Ouyang Shengxue's suggestion, she looked back at the child who was laughed at by Xiao Er in the inn, as a wife, she wanted to follow her husband, but as a mother, she also had to protect her child.

The night rain was still continuing, and thunder exploded in the night sky.

Darkness hangs over the world.

And not far away, there will be light shining.

......

......

The capital, the house of the stars.

The mountain gate of the Star Picking Mansion is not in the capital, but there is also a Star Picking Mansion in the capital, because Chen Moxi, the master of the Star Picking Mansion, is the national teacher of Jiang Guo, and he needs to stay in the capital all the time, although he will leave occasionally, but most of the time, he has to return to the capital.

Although a few days had passed since he had fought against the monks outside the mountain outside the South City Gate, for Shen Qiubai and Zhong Xiyan, it was a matter that was difficult to forget.

Zhuge Dan is indeed very strong and difficult to entangle, but in front of Xue Wangwu, he is just like an ant that can be crushed to death at any time.

Even if he is very famous among the younger generation, as strong as Shen Qiubai, in front of the monks outside the mountain who have crossed the threshold of the Five Realms, he is also just an ant who will be crushed to death at any time.

But this could not shake Shen Qiubai's state of mind.

There are a number of powerhouses in the Five Realms in every dynasty, but in the whole world, there are not a few powerhouses in the Five Realms, just in the Star Picking Mansion, there are more than two or three, not to mention that the Lord of the Star Picking Mansion is a big thing at the peak of the Five Realms, compared to it, what is Zhuge Dan?

The only difference is that Shen Qiubai really faced Zhuge Dan and tried his best to fight between life and death, and what he realized was also different.

Zhong Xiyan looked at the sword in his hand, then looked up at his junior brother, and said with a smile: "In the face of the real strong, we are really still too weak. ”

They stood under the corridor, listening to the faint roar of thunder in the night sky, looking at the rain curtain, and their thoughts were a little different from usual.

Shen Qiubai said softly: "The appearance of monks outside the mountains in the capital also means that we may meet more people outside the mountains in the future, the period of demon slaying is already in the past, but maybe in the near future, new disasters will come to this world, and we need to become stronger." ”

Shen Qiubai still has the ability to resist when facing Zhuge Dan, but Zhong Xiyan can really only lie on the ground, completely suppressed and unable to move, even if Zhong Xiyan's state of mind is very stable, but every time he thinks of this matter, he is still a little unwilling in his heart.

His qualifications are not as good as his junior brother Shen Qiubai, and he is not ranked in a good position among all the demons in this world, but he knows how to calm his mood and keep moving forward with the best attitude.

He recalled the incident outside the South City Gate, and said with some curiosity: "Senior brother has also fought with Miss Xiao before, what do you think of her performance in the face of Zhuge Dan?"

Shen Qiubai thought about it for a while, and said seriously: "Xiao Zhinan is a sword cultivator, she has a very high status in Beiyan, she is an existence side by side with that snowy night prince, her kendo will is very strong, she dedicates everything she has to the sword gate, she has the willpower to climb the highest mountain, and the pride that belongs to her, maybe one day in the future, she will be the new sword immortal in this world." ”

Zhong Xiyan smiled slightly: "Senior brother has a very high opinion of Miss Xiao." ”

Shen Qiubai noticed the subtle changes in his senior brother's eyes, and said with a chuckle: "I'm just stating the facts, Xiao Zhinan of Langhuan Sword House, Xue Ye, Prince Xue Ye of Northern Yan, Xu Beihan, the sword idiot of the Western Jin Dynasty, and even the second prince of the Western Jin Dynasty, the Nine Emperor Princes of Southern Yu, etc., are all the best among the young generation of monks in the world, and I can't speak lightly of any of them." ”

There are indeed many demons in the world, they seem to be the darlings of the Dao Heaven, they are in front of many people at a young age, and they will naturally have the idea of competing with each other.

Zhong Xi was noncommittal.

At this moment, a disciple of the Star Picking Mansion trotted over from the other end of the corridor, "Senior brother, second senior brother, Lu Changge, a disciple who does not set mountains outside the mansion gate, came to visit. ”
