Chapter 20: The Black Assassins
"Luo Yiyi...... You stinky woman, where did you go?" The first floor of the Gonglou Inn was empty, and Qiu Baihao shouted angrily.
Didn't you tell her to take a good look, where is this mother-in-law going? Qiu Baihao sat down on the chair in front of the stage, and before he could sit down, he suddenly remembered something, and ran upstairs.
knocked a few times on the door of Mu Xiao's room, but there was no response inside. A faint smell of blood came from the crack in the door. Qiu Baihao gently pushed open the door, there was no living person inside, a quilt was covered on the ground, and there was still undried blood oozing underneath.
Carefully pinching the corners of the quilt and slowly lifting it, Luo Yiyi's face was pale, her eyes stared at death, and the scene was terrifying. Frightened, he quickly covered the quilt back, Mu Xiao was already gone, not to mention how angry he was at the moment.
"Damn, it's been in vain again. Qiu Baihao scolded and hurriedly went downstairs to close the door of the Jiang Inn. This matter must not be known to Nangong Qiqi and Ling Gaoyuan, if he knew that he had brought Mu Xiao here without reporting, the end would be not much different from Luo Yiyi. It seemed that he could only find someone to get the body away at night, and thought, went upstairs to lock the door, and left the inn in a hurry.
At this time, Mu Xiao and Hu Xiaodie were already some distance away from the Gonglou Inn, and the two of them were looking for alleys with few people, but people could be seen everywhere in the south of the city, and the alleys were often frequented. This situation is definitely not a way to go around in circles here, you have to find a place to stay, Luo Xiaodie doesn't know martial arts, if you really meet Qiu Baihao, it will be difficult to do.
"Mu Gongzi, if you don't leave me alone, you can go first, I can't walk. Luo Xiaodie leaned against the wall of the alleyway and gasped. I was trotting all the way out of the inn, and now I really don't have the strength.
"Then take a rest first, and then a little further is the boundary west of the city, and then Qiu Baihao may not have run away. Mu Xiao comforted Luo Xiaodie that since he rescued her, he would have to help her to the end, and if she was caught again, she would be too incompetent.
The two of them rested for a while and walked towards the west of the city, although it was very lively along the way, they were finally not discovered, and they had already walked out of the suburbs at this moment, and they didn't know if Qiu Baihao's bastard had found out that he had run away now! No matter how much, find a place to settle down first. It's just that the suburbs are so desolate that there is really no suitable place for people to live. It's too risky to take the little girl into the city again.
"Miss Fluttershy, we might be staying in the cave for the night. Mu Xiao looked at the cave not far away and said helplessly.
"It's okay, as long as I don't go to the Spring Tower, I can live anywhere. Luo Xiaodie replied without thinking, her mind was blank now, and what Mu Xiao said was what she said. As he spoke, he followed Mu Xiao and walked towards the cave. The cave is dry, and there is even dry firewood in it, so there should have been people living here.
Mu Xiao sat down and took out the water bladder and handed it to Luo Xiaodie, and sat opposite him with the jade pendant with the word mask on it and studied it.
Luo Xiaodie drank the water and stuffed the lid back, stared at the jade pendant in Mu Xiao's hand and said, "Mu Gongzi, is this jade pendant yours?"
Mu Xiao shook his head and said, "This is what a friend got from someone else, I'll take a look at the origin of it." She didn't want to hide anything, but she really didn't know what Jiang Qiaoqiao meant by keeping this jade pendant for herself.
"Show me, is it okay?" Luo Xiaodie handed the water bladder to Mu Xiao, who nodded and handed the jade pendant to her.
Luo Xiaodie took the jade pendant and looked at it carefully, and her face became very strange.
"What's wrong?"
"This is the Black Assassin's jade card," Luo Xiaodie said, returning the jade pendant to Mu Xiao.
Mu Xiao never expected that Luo Xiaodie would know the origin of this jade pendant. Isn't this girl from the countryside?
"How do you know this? Aren't you a girl from the countryside who has just entered the city?" Mu Xiao was puzzled. Snobbery like the Assassin Order was not something that she, an ordinary woman, could know.
Luo Xiaodie faced Mu Xiao who was aggressively questioning, and was suddenly frightened, snapping and kneeling and shouting for mercy, Mu Xiao just wanted to know how she knew, and did not say that he wanted to kill her, and helped her up to listen.
It turns out that Luo Xiaodie is a young doctor who saved an injured Black Meng Assassin in his hometown some time ago, and the assassin seems to be in a good position. once gave her a jade pendant that was exactly the same as the one in front of her, and said that if she had difficulties, she could take the jade pendant to the Dilong Village outside Tianyuan City to find him. But the jade pendant had already fallen at home when she was tied back to Tianyuan City.
"Isn't there a ready-made one?" Mu Xiao said with a smile, deciding to take a trip to Dilong Village, but Luo Xiaodie still had to stay here first.
"Miss Fluttershy, you wait here for me first, if I don't come back tomorrow at noon, you can leave, there is a wanderer fifty miles to the east, go there and say that I let you go, remember!" Mu Xiao finished and turned away.
"His name is Black Dragon, if you can, please don't kill him......"
What Mu Xiao didn't expect was that Luo Xiaodie would say such a thing, he turned around and looked at Luo Xiaodie: "You like him?"
"......" Luo Xiaodie refused to say, but she was sure that the girl was tempted.
Mu Xiao laughed and left, Luo Xiaodie looked at the background of Mu Xiao's departure, her heart was full of worry, one was the person she liked, and the other was her savior, she didn't want them to become enemies, but she still obediently listened to Mu Xiao's words and waited in the cave.
Outside Tianyuan City, a hidden mountain villa, surrounded by thorn plants, more than a dozen houses are neatly built against the mountain, and a group of people are guessing and drinking in the compound. The four guards at the gate of the villa looked vigilantly at the secluded path in front of the door.
Suddenly, a figure burst out from their side, a flash of golden light, and the guard collapsed to the ground. Mu Xiao grinned, he was really vulnerable, how could he be a killer? After walking for about a hundred meters, there was a wide compound in front of him, and a group of big men were drinking and carnivaling in the compound.
Mu Xiao appeared in the compound, and the originally lively compound suddenly quieted down. More than thirty burly men thought about Mu Xiao coming together, saying that his heart was not false, but it was false.
"I'm looking for the black dragon" Mu Xiao said directly, but the big men didn't speak, but walked closer and closer, and stopped at a distance of five steps.
"Beat him up......" The voice of a bald head with a nose ring elongated, waving a big hand.
At the sound of an order, several stout men jumped towards Mu Xiaoqi, all of them mercilessly. It's just that Mu Xiao didn't pay attention to it at all, he attacked left and right, punched to the flesh, and kicked away the big man on the right. A volley kick that says that one of them has a nosebleed.
"Kill Him"
The nose ring man spoke again, and everyone rushed up. The compound was muddy and splashed, and it was in a mess. Repelled one after another, and it was difficult for Mu Xiao to get out at all.
"Black Dragon, you come out for me, I'm Mu Xiao here, aren't you trying to kill me?" Mu Xiao shouted in the fierce battle, but unfortunately these people didn't mean to stop at all, but came more fiercely.
Mu Xiao's hands suddenly sealed, and the powerful power erupted with the golden light around him, boom, everyone shook away a few meters away, and fell to the ground fiercely. The nose ring man outside the battle circle took a few steps back, and before he could stand firm, Mu Xiao disappeared in place, and an afterimage swept in front of him, and a hand with a golden halo grabbed his neck.
"Don't move, I'll crush his neck when I come over again"
Mu Xiao yelled at the people behind him, and sure enough, no one dared to rush forward, and the man with the nose ring withdrew his hand and raised it, and his mouth was vague: "First ...... Put me down. ”
At this moment, a bewitching man slowly clapped his hands on the balcony on the second floor of the house. The handsome face makes men want to be excited, and a handful of long hair runs down the corners of the eyes, looking a little more chic. Looking at Mu Xiao and continuing: "Your Excellency's martial arts are really strange in the world. ”
"Are you the Black Dragon?" Mu Xiao let go of the nose ring man and said coldly.
"Yes, there is the black dragon below, I am very happy to see Brother Mu's true face today, can you enjoy your face and have a drink with Hei?"
"Head, he's Mu Xiao!" the nose-ring man reminded below.
The black dragon did not speak, but entered the room with Mu Xiao. In the room, there was a charcoal fire on a broken pot, and the whole room was warm.
"It turns out that it's so warm in here, no wonder I haven't seen you go out for a long time. Mu Xiao scolded angrily.
"Where, I just want to see Brother Mu's skills. "The black dragon said it very directly, he just wanted to see how capable Mu Xiao was.
"Are you still satisfied?" Mu Xiao stared at him and continued: "Brother Black Dragon, a few days ago, he gave me a lot of gifts!"
"Li?" The black dragon looked at Mu Xiao in surprise, and then smiled: "You mean that I followed and assassinated you last time! If I said that I only found out later, would you believe it?" The black dragon pushed the charcoal in the bonfire, looking like it didn't matter to himself.
"Then it depends on whether Brother Black Dragon is worthy of trust. Mu Xiao's eyes stared at the black dragon like torches, "Today I am not just here for us." Mu Xiao took out the jade pendant and put it in front of the black dragon: "There is a girl named Fluttershy who said that she also has a jade pendant that is exactly the same as mine. Just her piece of ......"
Before Mu Xiao's words were finished, the black dragon threw the charcoal into the work, clapped his hands, and shouted outside the door: "Lu'an"
"Head, are you looking for me?" After a while, the door opened, and the man with the nose ring walked in.
"Ordered, all the halls stopped cooperating with Ling Gaoyuan. The black dragon's demonic face suddenly said seriously, "Especially the assassination of Brother Mu, the offender will be killed!"
The black dragon thought that Mu Xiao had kidnapped Luo Xiaodie, and he began to panic a little in his heart, Luo Xiaodie was met by him in Yingxia Town, and the two fell in love at first sight, and there was not a day when he didn't think of her in these days when he returned to Dilongzhuang.
"Yes" Although Lu'an was unwilling, he still didn't dare to say more, and opened the door and retreated.
"Don't worry, Luo Xiaodie is fine, I'm here today to find out who you are really entrusted with, and just to warn you casually. But it seems that the goal has been achieved. Are you going with me to meet your little lover?"
Mu Xiao laughed, since the black dragon gave the order today, there should be a lot less trouble in the future. Taking him to see Luo Xiaodie is also considered to make him owe him a favor, as for Qiu Baihao must be killed, if he doesn't kill him, it is estimated that he will not live long, and the Black Meng Assassin will not let him go, after all, he colluded with Luo Yiyi and those things have already hurt Luo Xiaodie.
