Nangong Yunmu thinks, naturally no one knows, Nangong Qiqi, as a son, does not dare to speculate, maybe after tonight, Tianyuan City will no longer be so peaceful. As the lord of a city, how could Nangong Yunmu not know that the gap between the rich and the poor in the Tianyuan City area was huge, and sooner or later there would be trouble, especially in the east and north of the city. Although the west of the city is slightly better, the Wanjia Commercial Bank is becoming stronger and stronger, constantly driving the development of the west of the city, and it will reach out to the south of the city in the future, and it will definitely threaten the status of the Nangong family in the south of the city and even Tianyuan City, and his position as the city lord will definitely be surrendered.

Nangong Qiqi looked at his thoughtful father and couldn't help asking, "What is my father thinking?"

Nangong Yunmu asked in a deep voice, "Qi Qi, what do you think of the situation in Tianyuan?"

"Beware of the northeast and suppress the west of the city" Nangong Qiqi didn't think about it, and blurted out eight words. The meaning is obvious, but always monitor the development of the various forces in the east and north of the city, and absolutely cannot let them develop and grow, let alone let them unite, as long as they are scattered, there is nothing to fear. The momentum of the ten thousand commercial banks in the west of the city is too strong, and they must find a way to suppress it, and they must not be allowed to stretch out to the south of the city.

"Okay, good!" Nangong Yunmu laughed twice, "Then what plan do you have?"

Nangong Qiqi smiled slightly: "The Nangong family is naturally inconvenient to show up, although the forces in the east and north of the city are small, they will be a weapon for the male soldiers if they are used properly." I don't think it would hurt us to use the east and north of the city to contain the west of the city, right?"

After listening to his son's plan, Nangong Yunmu nodded frequently to show satisfaction, which was exactly what he thought.

At this moment, in the north of the city, Luoyu Inn.

Mu Xiao took a shower after returning from the west of the city, and lay down directly to sleep. Anyway, today is not the official day of work, and no one has anything to say to him.

When I woke up in a daze, I saw that the inn had already been darkened, and it turned out to be closed. Remembering that Uncle Hou was going to invite himself to drink tonight, this old guy didn't even mention it? Anyway, there was nothing to do in the cold weather, so he went back to sleep with his head covered.

Brush...... Brush...... , The sound of intermittent snow walking, the inn has closed, and the sound is coming from the backyard, Mu Xiao is vigilant. Cautiously walk to the window and look down through the slit in the board. Sure enough, in the faint light, I vaguely saw a man in black with a head wrapped, holding a large knife, walking step by step towards the stairs leading to the second floor in the backyard.

This was the small door that led to Mu Xiao's room, and this person must have climbed over the wall from the outside into the backyard. Mu Xiao didn't rush to make a move, but waited and watched to see why the person came.

Da ...... Da ...... With a few sounds of gently prieing the door, the small door finally opened. The man in black flashed in, and at this time, Mu Xiao was already waiting for the driver at the door of the room with a long sword in his hand.

The man in black did not come to his room, but walked to the door of the unnumbered room opposite him, and gently pry his knife into the crack of the door.

"Who!" Mu Xiao was just about to open the door and go out, when a woman's voice came from the opposite room. The black clothes fled when they heard the sound, and Mu Xiao threw the door out. The man in black jumped directly from the second floor to the backyard, and Mu Xiao jumped down in the air to block the way of the man in black.

"Who dares to break into my Luoyu Inn?" At the small door on the second floor, Jiang Qiaoqiao's voice, which had already been chased out, was as cold as an ice cellar.

"Miss, do you want to die or live?" At this time, Mu Xiao and the man in black had already exchanged hands.

"Alive" Jiang Qiaoqiao was extremely calm, as if she was watching a good show. It can be seen that he is not a weak woman.

The backyard is full of swords and shadows, and the sparks are fluorescent and the sword qi is fused. Man in Black: Sensitive body skills, fast knife skills. Mu Xiao didn't take much advantage, and if he continued to fight like this, he would be allowed to escape.

When! The man in black swept in with a sword, and Mu Xiao used his worry-free swordsmanship, and the long sword and the big sword collided together. Mu Xiao's body suddenly rose into the air, and in the next second, he swooped down, sweeping thousands of troops three feet from the ground, and the long sword drew a brilliant light. The man in black retreated for more than a foot, but the sword in Mu Xiao's hand slashed forward, and a golden sword qi fell from the top of the man in black.

There was a dull sound, accompanied by the explosion of the head of the man in black, and the next second, his body fell to the ground.

Mu Xiao looked at the long sword in his hand in shock, and the golden light slowly retreated. But he still couldn't believe that it was so easy for the carefree swordsmanship to kill a person who was not weak. Suddenly remembered Ah San's words: enough to sweep half of Tianyuan City. It's a bit of an exaggeration, of course, but it's pretty powerful.

"Dead" Jiang Qiaoqiao had already walked to Mu Xiao's side at this time, looked at him in a daze and said, "Don't you want to stay alive?" The voice was still very cold, like a woman without a soul.

"Missed!" Mu Xiao was a little embarrassed.

Jiang Qiaoqiao actually smiled slightly at this moment: "Forget it, in short, it's good that you can't get out of here, it doesn't matter how you keep him." ”

Looking at Jiang Qiaoqiao at this moment, Mu Xiao's heart trembled. The woman in front of him aroused his curiosity.

There was a lot of movement in the backyard, which had already woken up Uncle Hou and Liu San. Hou Bo was followed by four guys, including Liu San. Hurried from the second floor to the backyard, and was shocked to see the scene in front of him.

It's common to see fights at the Luoyu Inn on weekdays, and it's the first time I've seen it when I sneaked into the inn tonight. Seeing that Jiang Qiaoqiao was fine, Hou Bo breathed a sigh of relief: "You go and get the carriage and clean it up." ”

The guys looked at the headless corpses on the ground by the light, and they felt sick to their stomachs. Liu San pointed to the corpse and stopped talking.

"Do you know?" Jiang Qiaoqiao was a little puzzled.

Liu San squatted down, lifted the sleeves of his robe, and pointed to the tattoo mark on the corpse's arm: "This is a unique mark of the Heavenly Dao Society." I heard that the Heavenly Dao President has been cultivating a strange technique for a year, and he needs something extremely cold to assist in his cultivation, is there something he wants in our inn?" Liu San said and couldn't help but look at Mu Xiao, thinking to himself, could there be any treasure on Mu Xiao that was targeted?

Mu Xiao was about to say something, but was interrupted by Jiang Qiaoqiao: "How do you know this!"

Originally, it was a secret, but now I have to tell it. It turned out that Liu San had a friend named Liu Zhengtu in the same town, and he happened to meet Liu San in the east of the city a few days ago, and the two had not seen each other for many years, so they had a few more drinks on a whim. As a result, Liu Zhengtu was drunk and said that he was running an errand in the Heavenly Dao Society.

In the past year, they have been cultivating a technique called "Ice Spirit Ghost Hand", which requires a large number of cold items as materials, so they sent more than 100 disciples of the Heavenly Dao Society to collect them in all directions. At first, I just went to some peripheral towns to look for it, but the effect was not good. Recently, I was planning to inquire about weapons and objects in various cities.

"Everyone clean up here and rest quickly, remember tonight's events, don't leak half a word!" Jiang Qiaoqiao turned around and walked quickly to the second floor.

Walk into the room without a font size and close the door. Jiang Qiaoqiao stared at the black long sword under the light. The jade hand reached forward, and the long sword flew into her hand, and the slender fingers gently stroked along the thin body of the cicada's wings. Wherever his fingers went, the sword body emitted a faint green light, and there was a piercing chill in his eyes. Put the sword back in its place, turn your head to look sideways and ponder.

Tossing in the middle of the night, Mu Xiao was also a little tired. The corpse was naturally dragged outside by others to be disposed of, and when he returned to the room, he still couldn't sleep. Jiang Qiaoqiao's performance made him feel more and more uneasy, and he simply meditated clinically.

The Taicang Sutra runs in the body, and the whole body is covered with golden light. The golden light circulated rapidly, and one by one out of thin air, golden figures surrounded him, playing one move after another of the Taicang Sutra. Of course, in Mu Xiao's mind, the same tricks flashed one by one.

Hum! The powerful power instantly poured into his dantian, and the veins in his whole body seemed to swell up all at once. Mu Xiao, who was full of strength, closed his hands and lowered his chest again.

"Taicang Chaos Beginning" Mu Xiao opened his eyes excitedly, feeling the unprecedented power in his body, and feeling that the internal force in his body had increased several times compared to before.

According to the introduction in the dream, the Taicang Sutra is divided into four layers (chaos, desolation, rebellion, Taicang), each layer has the first success and consummation, and it is really unbelievable to practice the first success in one day.

It's just a worry-free swordsmanship, what other moves do you have besides the sky fall? Mu Xiao suddenly thought of Ah San, and he didn't know where the big man was now. Now that the worry-free swordsmanship has gradually matured, when Ah Sang comes to Tianyuan, he should be able to use it freely!

The next day, the Luoyu Inn was open for business as usual, and no one would mention what happened last night. Uncle Hou, who was supposed to take leave and return to his hometown, also stayed at the inn for the time being, and made plans later. Mu Xiao got up early and wiped the tables and chairs in the inn, as a new guy, of course, he had to behave well, so as to win the favor of the beautiful boss, and it would be convenient to speak in the future, but unfortunately the boss hadn't gotten up and couldn't see it, and it was estimated that this early morning work was done in vain.

Liu San was helping the cook in the back kitchen, and Uncle Hou was settling accounts at the counter as always. Mu Xiao brushed the rag clean, took off his apron, and jumped to the counter to stare at Hou Bo.

"Uncle Hou, do you still owe me a bar?" Mu Xiao quipped.

is cunning and cunning, I guess he is talking about people like Hou Bo, Mu Xiao hasn't said anything further. He had already raised his hand to stop: "Wait a minute, you kid won't be bullying me, the old man has a bad memory, when did I owe you a drink?".

Good guy, his skin is really thick, he clearly said last night that he wanted to invite him to drink, but he didn't admit it at all. Mu Xiao knew that he couldn't drink this wine, so he pretended to be angry and snorted coldly, grabbed his apron and walked to the back kitchen.

Suddenly, there was the sound of hurried footsteps outside, and two strange-looking dwarfs covered in blood at the door, with weapons in their hands, rushed into the inn. They are the same iron hooks and sickles that appeared in Fenglin Town. Mu Xiaosan took a step and appeared in front of the counter to block the two of them, and at this time, the golden halo of his palm appeared, and the Taicang Sutra instantly operated in his body.

"Help!" the scythe fell to his knees, as if a ball of flesh had fallen from the ground. As soon as Mu Xiao put his right hand, the golden halo disappeared in an instant. Before he could ask, there was a noisy sound of footsteps at the door, and listening to the footsteps of the snow, at least five or six people were rushing here.

Mu Xiao immediately made a decision, and crossed over the top of the iron hook and sickle. Hou Bo quickly pushed the two of them behind the counter, stepping on a blood stain dripping on the ground. The two cooperated quite well, and a series of actions were orderly and not chaotic.

Mu Xiao just landed at the door, five disheveled, and his body was covered with marks of scratches from his minions. It must be the masterpiece of the dwarf brothers, and it is indeed a bit of a skill to be able to escape under five fierce opponents.
