Chapter 4: Hunted and killed

Mei Xiao, who was tired all night, slept until three poles in the morning before getting up, the sun was shining outside the window, the blue sky stretched for thousands of miles, it looked particularly refreshing, Mei Xiao's mood was as good as this weather, although he was very afraid of trouble, but the mood of doing good things was still good.

It's a familiar tavern again, a familiar location, and a familiar little second brother. Mei Xiao sat by the window and asked for a few delicious dishes, ready to treat herself.

But today's tavern is a little strange, the usual noisy hall has become very deserted, only Mei Xiao sits in the hall alone to eat, but the street is extremely lively, as if some grand event is being held.

Mei Xiao looked into the street while eating, and saw a group of people in exotic costumes coming from a distance at the end of the long street, they were dressed roughly, well-proportioned and fit, the men all had almost perfect bodies, and the women had a natural wild beauty, and people's eyes were attracted and looked at this group of people full of exotic customs intently.

In the crowd, a thin man stared at the beauty in the team with wide eyes and opened his mouth wide, not even noticing that saliva was falling from his mouth, and a strong woman on the side saw it and grabbed the man's ear, "Look at it! You negative man! If you see that they are good-looking, go with them! Don't come to the old lady!"

The man cried out in pain as he followed the sturdy woman.

Mei Xiao also retracted his gaze, in the few years he traveled with his master, he had seen many people in such costumes and appearances, they were from the Dian Kingdom, the most mysterious country among the five countries, and their poison skills had also caused the master to suffer a big loss. Therefore, Mei Xiao did not have a good impression of them.

Fortunately, there will be no intersection with them this time, Mei Xiao thought.

In the blink of an eye, the dusk of Pengcheng came quietly, Mei Xiao walked on the street at dusk, the red sunset shone on Mei Xiao's face, body, and clothes, there was a dreamlike feeling, at this moment, Mei Xiao felt like she was back in Wuyang Mountain. The days when I used to practice swords in the red sunset came to mind. Mei Xiao lowered his head and let himself not see the sunset as much as possible, because he knew that he was homesick.

Just when Mei Xiao's footsteps were getting slower and slower, almost stopped, a hidden arrow shining with a green glow suddenly flew out of a shop, flashing a very strange cold light in the reflection of the setting sun.

Ignoring the cold sweat on her body, Mei Xiao quickly looked in the direction where the sleeve arrow flew from, and as expected, she didn't see any suspicious people. That sleeve arrow is so fast, so powerful, and so tricky in angle, it is definitely the level of a hidden weapon master, how could he find out?

Mei Xiao picked up the sleeve arrow that he had dodged, looked at the green light left by the deep immersion of venom on it, and thoughtfully: "Who is it?"

In the distance, the masked man in the darkness watched Mei Xiao pick up the sleeve arrow, and a triumphant smile appeared on the face blocked by the mask.

Mei Xiao naturally didn't know what was happening in the shadows, but he still didn't dare to be careless, and returned to the inn vigilantly all the way.

The night was dark and silent, the moonlight was so obscured by the passing clouds that there was no light that could be seen, and even the noisy chickens and dogs on weekdays were silenced.

Mei Xiao, who was lying on the bed, pretended to be asleep soundly, but in fact she was nervous and always paid attention to the movements around her.

It was late at night, and almost all living beings fell into a deep sleep, and at this time, Mei Xiao was also drowsy. As for the danger of being assassinated, he had long been thrown out of the clouds. And at this moment, there was a slight sound of clothing rubbing outside the window, and Mei Xiao instantly woke up - they are here!

Although Mei Xiao has been assassinated once, he has no idea the other party's purpose at all, he has not made a feud with the people in the rivers and lakes, and it stands to reason that no one should kill him.

Mei Xiao continued to pretend to be asleep, and the people outside the window were very cautious, still confirming whether Mei Xiao was really asleep. A moment later, there was a loud bang, the window shattered without warning, and a swift black shadow rushed in, heading straight for Mei Xiao.

A dagger glowing with green light flashed by, as fast as a gust of wind, piercing Mei Xiao's throat. In the blink of an eye, the dagger was only three inches from his throat. Suddenly, the dagger rang out, and the black shadow instantly retreated, but did not escape, and the voice under the mask seemed to deliberately suppress his throat, asking, "How did you find me?"

Mei Xiao was about to answer, a cloud of gray smoke emanated from the body of the man in black, and the mouse's dying cry came from the mouse hole on the wall, Mei Xiao's eyes lit up: "Poisonous!"

Although the poison had been discovered, Mei Xiao did not retreat but advanced, chasing the man in black through the poisonous fog. The black-clothed man in front of him seemed to have no fear, walking slowly, as if he was not worried about Mei Xiao catching up at all.

Mei Xiao jumped in front of the man in black and blocked his way, "Who are you?"

The man in black's eyes widened in shock, "You were hit by my five poisonous smoke, why are you okay?"

Mei Xiao smiled slightly, "It has nothing to do with you, you just need to tell me, who are you?"

The man in black seemed to be a little annoyed, and even forgot to change his original voice, "It's nothing to do with you!"
