In Yan Ting's eyes, Mu Jinghong has always been a very strange person.

It's not just the weirdness of the behavior, it's more of a personality, you never thought that he would suddenly be interested in an irrelevant object, and he wouldn't understand what would happen to the people around him indifferently, it seems that in Mu Jinghong's heart, it is the norm to lose it in the next second.

Some people compare him to a madman who doesn't want to die, relying on his peerless light skills and unparalleled disguise skills in the world, stealing one treasure after another from countless capable people, but Yan Ting knows that Mu Qinghong doesn't care about those valuable things, he just enjoys the excitement in the process of stealing and the sense of crisis on the blade.

It is also because of this that he can become Yan Ting's friend.

"I'm curious what you've been up to all year."

Yan Ting sighed a little helplessly, sat on the grass casually, and looked around on Mu Qinghong's body: "Too many things have happened this year, and it is not something that can be said at once." ”

Mu Jinghong also sat on the ground and sighed: "I guessed something when you mistakenly thought that I was going to kill you, let me guess, you are out of the blood shadow?" ”

Yan Ting didn't speak, just looked at him with a complicated expression, and Mu Jinghong asked again: "Didn't you take the initiative to leave, but were forced?" ”

Yan Ting pursed his lips and stretched out his left hand to make a gesture of holding a sword, Mu Jinghong immediately laughed and said jokingly: "It turned out to be because of him, I said a long time ago that that person had a strange idea of you, and you just didn't want to kill him." ”

Yan Ting was still silent and did not speak, Mu Jinghong did not continue the topic, patted the dust on his robe and said with a smile: "You said that you are tired of licking blood from the knife edge, it is better to take this opportunity to return to the mountains and forests and completely break off the grievances in the rivers and lakes." ”

Yan Ting opened his mouth at this time: "When I finish what I should do, I will." ”

Mu Jinghong smiled a little angrily and asked, "So you want to be the enemy of Oolong Evergreen for the sake of a Hai Yichuan?" And after that? What kind of enemies will there be? ”

Yan Ting said firmly: "Hai Yichuan suffered because of me, I can't abandon him and live in the world, as for the future, I don't have time to think about it." ”

Mu Jinghong was a little stunned when he heard this, this was the first time he had seen Yan Ting so reckless, in his eyes Yan Ting had always been a person with a plan, seeing Yan Ting's answer so affirmatively, he no longer stopped him, but approached Yan Ting and asked, "What is the ultimate purpose of all this you do?" ”

"I want the Blood Shadow Gate to completely disappear under the heavens and the earth."

"What about that person? Do you kill or not? ”

Yan Ting paused and said calmly, "I will give him one last chance." ”

Mu Qinghong couldn't help but roll his eyes, and then pointed at Yan Ting and scolded with a smile: "I really don't know what is good about you, your most fatal flaw is to value love and righteousness, and sooner or later you will die on this righteous word." ”

Yan Ting stood up and said to Mu Qinghong: "I've been delayed for some time, so don't leave it at that." After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave, Mu Jinghong got up and grabbed Yan Ting, and shouted angrily: "Are you going to face Oolong Changqing alone? ”

Yan Ting turned his head, with a somewhat strange look on his face: "Do you think I can't kill him?" ”

Mu Jinghong said sharply: "Of course you can, but you will definitely die." ”

Yan Ting wanted to break free of Mu Jinghong's hand, but Mu Jinghong pulled tightly, Yan Ting couldn't help but shout: "You plan to stop me? ”

Mu Jinghong looked into his eyes and showed a wicked smile of patience: "No, I want to go with you." ”

Yan Ting's heart warmed, his throat seemed to be blocked by something, he opened his mouth but didn't know what to say, Mu Jinghong let go of his hand and smiled at Yan Ting: "I can't watch you fool die and do nothing myself." ”

Yan Ting stared at him for a long time before he sighed deeply: "Having a friend like you Mu Jinghong is really a great blessing in life. ”

Mu Jinghong clapped his hands and said angrily: "It's rare that you are still in the mood to say such things, the waterway is no longer feasible, so you can only take a carriage, but since Tangmen is eyeing you, this road will not be smooth." ”

Yan Ting nodded, Mu Jinghong looked around, and said to Yan Ting: "There is a post station not far north of here, let's go hire a carriage and tell me about what happened this year on the way." ”

The two of them soon found a post station north and spent some money to hire a carriage and a carriage groom, according to the innkeeper, this groom was the most experienced in a hundred miles, not only familiar with all the roads in Qizhou, but also had the advantages that other grooms did not have, and would never say anything they encountered or heard on the road.

The carriage galloped along the bamboo forest path, and Yan Tingzheng in the carriage told Mu Jinghong about what happened this year, from being abandoned by the sect to being surrounded and suppressed by many masters, from encountering Chengjiujiu to Hai Yichuan delaying time with his life, Mu Jinghong leaned on the side and listened carefully, as Yan Ting said more and more content, Mu Jinghong's face also flickered, until Yan Ting finished speaking, he closed his eyes and fell into a long period of contemplation.

Mu Jinghong thought for a long time before opening his eyes and sighed: "I don't think you can achieve the ultimate goal, the three people you need, except for Chengjiujiu, those two are far away from the world." ”

Yan Ting said: "You don't have to worry about this, I have my own way." ”

Mu Jinghong smiled lightly, and then said: "Dongfang Shenwei gave you a month, but you know very well that you can't do anything in a month's time. ”

Yan Ting said with a smile: "I originally thought that one month would be enough to rescue Hai Yichuan, but now I don't have to worry about it, I already know that the golden knife was hidden by you in the Iron King's Mansion." ”

Mu Jinghong smiled: "Fortunately, you are lucky to meet me, otherwise you would have died in the hands of Dongfang Shenwei before Chengjiu Liquor was found." ”

Yan Ting nodded, and Mu Jinghong said: "As for Dugu Xiaoying, I have heard of it for a long time, it is said that her swordsmanship is no longer under the Dugu Sword Saint, if she helps, it will definitely be like a tiger with wings." ”

Yan Ting said: "I don't want to involve her. ”

Mu Jinghong shook his head helplessly, he knew that Yan Ting was a very stubborn person, and it was difficult to change what he believed, Mu Jinghong didn't want to waste his words, he was lying on his side on the ground and was about to think about his next action, but he suddenly saw a figure flying through the small window of the carriage.

A figure? Mu Jinghong and Yan Ting got up at the same time, Mu Jinghong opened the window of the car and poked his head out to look behind, only to see that the horseman who had just driven the car had fallen to the ground and was thrown out by them, at the same time, the violent neighing of the horses outside the car sounded, and with this sound, the horses suddenly fell to the ground, and the dragged carriage also flipped out in the air.

The two figures jumped out when the carriage was out of control, Yan Ting rushed to the side of the horse as soon as he landed, only to see that the heads of the two majestic white horses were nailed with a slender silver needle, and when he pulled out one, he saw that the tip of the needle was smeared with green juice, Mu Jinghong's face changed dramatically when he saw this, and he exclaimed: "Our whereabouts have been exposed, I am afraid that there will be unexpected enemies soon." ”

Yan Ting snorted coldly and said, "If we can't get in the carriage, we will walk over with our feet, but I want to see who will stop me next." ”

Mu Jinghong pursed his lips and walked to Dog Mountain with his feet, I am afraid that Hai Yichuan's bones have turned to ashes at that time, but he did not speak, he knew that Yan Ting also understood in his heart.

Hai Yichuan, you'd better be alive.

The sky is gradually approaching the evening, the outer city of Qizhou is drizzling, and on the street in this small city, a majestic figure slowly walks away, passers-by on the side see this person and hurriedly retreat, and those who have no time to hide can only curl up in the corner of the wall to cover their noses, for fear of gasping for air.

Whose figure is this? How can walking on foot give such a strong intimidation?

When the figure came to the door of an inn and stopped, the lantern on the door plaque reflected his figure, this man was eight feet tall with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, his naked upper body carried a large knife with a golden ring with blood on his shoulder, the hair on his chest was thick like a bear man, and the most special thing was that he had a finger-thick silver chain around his neck, and the chain was not a bead, but a human head.

He just stood quietly at the gate, letting the raindrops fall on him, and the door of the inn was closed, but he had no intention of pushing it open.

He was waiting for someone, and before the person he was waiting for arrived, he would never push open the door alone.

On the roof of this inn, three figures were lying quietly on the eaves looking down at the door, and one of them said to the woman next to him in a very soft voice: "I think it's better for us to get out of here." ”

The woman was holding her head with her hands and looking at the strong man at the door of the inn, and when she heard this, she asked, "Why did you leave?" Are you scared? ”

The figure beside the woman also asked with a smile: "Are you afraid of the knife on this person's shoulder, or are you afraid that there will be some demons and monsters next?" ”

There was no doubt that it was Cheng Jiujiu and Li Xiaocao who asked the question, and Shen Ying moved back a little cautiously and said softly, "Do you know who this person is?" ”

Cheng Jiujiu asked, "Do you know how?" Don't know what? ”

Shen Ying began to be a little anxious: "This person is known as the king butcher by the world, but he slaughters not cattle, sheep and livestock but living people, and it is said that the last generation of heroes outside the Guanwai died at his hands." ”

Cheng Jiujiu said with a wicked smile: "What about the butcher? I think his knife is far inferior to the iron lump of our uncle. ”

Li Xiaocao was about to interject on the side, only to hear a violent sound of wheels suddenly in the distance, a wooden cart pulled by five horses rushed here from a distance, the strong man downstairs plucked his ears impatiently, and shouted loudly in the direction of the carriage: "Damn Wang Ba calf, you always have to make such a big move, Lao Tzu will kill your horse sooner or later!" ”

When the carriage was about to stop, Cheng Jiujiu saw the people in the carriage clearly, and made a "tsk" sound in his mouth, and asked Shen Ying beside him, "Can you recognize this person?" ”

Shen Ying was a little dumbfounded, because there was a huge coffin on the wooden board dragged by five horses, and on the coffin sat an extremely fat middle-aged man, the horizontal flesh on his face was twisted together and almost buried his facial features into the flesh, and the fat man laughed loudly at the butcher Wang at this moment: "If you dare to kill my horse, I will release the contents of the coffin, and see which of you and I will die faster." ”

What's in the coffin? Shen Ying stared at the coffin under the fat man's seat, the coffin that could accommodate several people was shaking constantly, as if something inside was eagerly breaking out of the coffin, the fat man clenched his fist and knocked on the coffin board, smiling and reassuring: "Don't worry, don't worry, it will let you come out, let you eat happily completely." ”

The king butcher grinned wildly, the laughter was particularly terrifying on this rainy night, and the fat man waited until the coffin he was sitting on was completely motionless before he moved his body and jumped out of the carriage, looked around, and scolded with wide eyes: "Grandma's, I thought I would be the last to come, but I didn't expect it to be the third." ”

The third? Shen Ying looked left and right, and couldn't see where there were people, Cheng Jiujiu patted Shen Ying's shoulder and stretched out a finger, Shen Ying couldn't help but be stunned when she looked in the direction of the finger, and I don't know when there was already a person in a black robe standing behind the Wang Butcher, and the left hand of the man in black was on the hilt of a black sword.

This man in black seemed to be one with the night, and if it weren't for Cheng Jiujiu pointing out his direction, Shen Ying would never have recognized him.

"When did this person come?"

"Much earlier than the king butcher."
