Chapter 23 You can't eat what a stranger gives
Outside the window is the scorching sun of midsummer and the noisy chirping of cicadas,
The inn was very quiet in the afternoon, and the breathing of Jiang Tao and the man in front of him could be heard quietly.
"You can put your clothes on."
After Jiang Tao finished bandaging him, he tied the bandage on his shoulder.
"Have you seen enough?" The man stared at Jiang Tao's watery eyes and said teasingly.
Jiang Tao had been staring at his abs for a long time.
"Well, I, I'm going to look for Yuan Hui, did I catch up?" Jiang Tao raised her head to meet the man's playful smile, and her heart couldn't help but tighten.
"If you catch up, you'll come back and report it, you don't have to go." The man said and put his hand on Jiang Tao's wrist and said, "I've seen it all, you have to be responsible!" ”
After the man finished speaking, there was a look of worry on his originally relaxed face.
"It's not in shape." Jiang Tao broke free of his hand and took a few steps back.
The man turned around and rummaged for something behind him, and after a moment, "Eat this." ”
A big hand reached out in front of Jiang Tao, and a reddish-brown pill was in the center of the thin palm.
Jiang Tao couldn't help frowning, "Just let me eat it, why do you want me to take medicine." ”
"It can't be the Ten Great Tonic Pills, right?"
Seeing that the man didn't react, Jiang Tao continued: "You can't eat what strangers give, and the teacher has taught it since childhood. ”
As he spoke, he pushed the hand in front of him to the side, straightened up and smoothed out.
"Strangers?"
"You and I have just experienced life and death together, why are we still strangers?" The man looked at Jiang Tao in surprise and said.
Somehow, he felt that the girl in front of him was very ...... Different.
Don't be coquettish, don't be pretentious, dare to speak, dare to do.
Rao is a man who has lived among thousands of flowers, and when he looked at Jiang Tao today, he felt a little more nervous.
"But I don't even know what your name is, where you live, or what you do." Jiang Tao smiled bitterly.
Even if you know, you can't take the pills you give, and women must have a strong sense of self-protection when they are outside.
In particular, you can't lower your vigilance just because the other person looks good, has a good personality, or is an elderly person or a child.
"Thank you for your kindness, I don't need to take medicine."
"In Xia Muli, people from Bianjing ...... The ancestors were officials in the court. ”
Mu Li's self-introduction sounded abruptly in Jiang Tao's ears, although it was a little vague, but it was also a simple explanation of his situation.
After Mu Li finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Tao's face with eyes like water and said, "Dare to ask the girl's name." ”
Jiang Tao felt that the man in front of him was a little strange, including some slight changes in facial expressions, eyes, and even smell.
"Forehead ......"
"I see that your pulse is vain, this ...... It's just an elixir to replenish qi. Mu Li stared straight into Jiang Tao's eyes, about to watch her take the medicine.
"Jiang Tao, my name is Jiang Tao. This ......"
It's so strange, Jiang Tao feels that the person in front of him is too strange.
Jiang Tao was about to concentrate his willpower to probe the emotions of the man in front of him, and introduced himself casually.
Before he could finish speaking, there was a rhythmic knock at the door.
"Knock Knock"
"Knock Knock"
"Knock Knock"
Mu Li took his eyes off Jiang Tao, pulled up his robe from the bed and draped it over his shoulders, "Come in." ”
Jiang Tao looked at his movements a little funny, and took off his clothes generously in front of him, and now he had to cover it in a hurry.
I saw Yuan Hui sweating profusely pushing the door in, although he was panting, his steps were very light and steady.
"The physical fitness is very high, and he should be a practitioner." Jiang Tao said darkly.
"Childe!" Yuan Hui said as he walked over to the round table and poured a bowl of tea into his mouth.
"I didn't catch up, and I was very good, but I gave him an arrow, and I should have hit it." As he spoke, he raised the sleeve arrow in his hand and gestured.
"Childe, you're hurt!" Yuan Hui's sword eyebrows tightened, and he walked to Mu Li's side to investigate the injury with concern.
"It's okay, Miss Jiang has already dealt with it for me." Mu Li said and looked at Jiang Tao, with an imperceptible smile in the corner of his eyes.
Yuan Hui looked at his master's appearance, then at Jiang Tao, his expression relaxed a little, and continued to report the assassin's situation.
"Look at the skills, it shouldn't be from Ouchi." Yuan Hui stroked the knife in his arms and continued: "It should not be with the previous batch. ”
Jiang Tao heard it in a fog and asked, "What Ouchi?" What was the last batch? ”
How does it sound like meeting such gangsters as commonplace.
Mu Li glared at Yuan Hui, as if he was angry that he shouldn't talk too much.
Mu Li didn't know how much he had experienced similar assassinations, so there was no need to worry others.
"It's nothing, this time you were frightened with me." Mu Li said to Jiang Tao, "Fortunately, you are not injured." ”
Then he changed his gentle appearance, turned to Yuan Hui and asked in a deep voice, "In what direction did it disappear?" ”
"Near Guanwei Lane." Yuan Hui said.
"What?" Jiang Tao and Mu Li exclaimed at the same time.
Yuan Hui was stunned by the reaction of the two, looked at his master, and then looked at Jiang Tao.
"Any questions?"
Mu Li also looked at Jiang Tao, waiting for her answer.
"I ...... My home....... ”
"I live in Guanwei Lane."
Yuan Hui looked at Jiang Tao puzzled and said, "So what?" Could it be that your family is here to kill you? ”
"Family?" Jiang Tao quickly summarized the information in his mind, "gangster", "murder", and "his own home".
"Family!" Jiang Tao was shocked, "Could it be that stepmother?" ”
"But my family is full of long-term followers, so there shouldn't be any so-called masters." Jiang Tao secretly pondered in her heart, and lost her mind for a while.
Like Yuan Hui, Jiang Tao can judge his physical fitness by looking at his body shape and steps, if there is really such a person in his family, how can he not be impressed at all?
"As far as I know, the biggest gateway in Guanwei Lane is the mansion of the Yangzhou Governor, Jiangfu." Mu Li said in a deep voice.
Jiang Tao looked at Mu Li thoughtfully and nodded.
"Oh Jiang family, when I just came back, there were many people on the street looking for someone, it seems to be ...... Jiang family. Yuan Hui scratched his head and said, "It seems that you are looking for something more...... Miss Four. ”
"The formation is not small, it seems that a large family has come out, and I have seen the ...... from afar." Yuan Hui closed his mouth in Mu Li's eyes.
Jiang Tao only had two things in his mind, and he didn't notice the looks of the two at all.
First, it is very likely that the gangster is coming for him, and second, the family finds that they are no longer looking for it.
Mu Li looked at Jiang Tao when he heard this, "Does it have anything to do with you?" ”
Seeing Jiang Tao's worried look, Mu Li nodded lightly and said, "It seems that your family is looking for you." So he didn't ask any more, groped behind him, and took out the yellowed jade pendant just now.
"You take it, if you come to Beijing in the future, take it to Yanqing Guan to find me."
