Chapter 163: A Coincidental Encounter with Antuo
In Liaocheng, where the ice and snow were falling, the streets were covered with snow that had been swept out, and Mu Xiao walked deep with his eyes on the slightly depressed streets, which was where Jiang Linan brought him to the place. I remember that Jiuling was resentful at that time, and I don't know what happened to them now, so I shouldn't live here, right?
Standing in front of the house with broken eaves and broken walls, Mu Xiao looked inside, this old house looked even more dilapidated than the last time he came, it seemed that it had been uninhabited for a long time, even the door was covered with cobwebs, and the eaves were crumbling under the thick snow.
There was a whistle behind him, and Mu Xiao turned around in surprise. The fat man was walking like him not far away, his expression was very strange, and he couldn't understand why Mu Xiao came to this inconspicuous place.
"Brother Mu!" the fat man trotted forward and smiled happily.
Mu Xiao looked back in confusion, didn't this fat man wait for him at the inn with Jiang Qiaoqiao, how could he find this?
Mu Xiao stood in place and did not move, at this time his head was already covered with scattered white snow, looking up at the low sky, Mu Xiao looked at the fat man who had come to the front again, exhaled white breath in his mouth and asked, "Half brother, why are you here?"
The fat man propped his hands on his knees, gasped and said, "I've been with you for several streets, by the way, what are you doing here?"
"Just walk around!" Mu Xiao replied casually, and then moved away from the broken house and into the snow-soaked street.
The fat man didn't seem to have eased up, and stepped forward to follow Mu Xiao and said, "By the way, Miss Jiang left with a somewhat sloppy man. ”
"Men?" Mu Xiao's tone was full of doubts, in his impression, Jiang Qiaoqiao didn't know a good male friend, who was the man the fat man was talking about?
Without waiting for Mu Xiao to continue asking, he said as he walked: "That man, he looks a little similar to her, he doesn't look like a beggar, but his clothes are a little tattered. ”
When Mu Xiao heard this, he also had some numbers in his heart, he looked a little similar to Jiang Qiaoqiao, I am afraid that it is Jiang Linan, but why did he become a sloppy man, I am afraid that there is something in this?
Mu Xiao stopped on the snow, turned around and almost collided with the fat man for a moment, the fat man stumbled back two steps and looked at Mu Xiao in surprise: "What's wrong?
"Did she say where she was going?" asked Mu Xiao a little anxiously.
The fat man spread his hands and smiled bitterly: "She didn't say it, but before leaving, let me tell you that she left first and asked you to wait for her in Liaocheng." ”
"Do you know where she's going?" Mu Xiao looked even more anxious at this time, and the color on his face became a little nervous.
The fat man thought for a while and said, "Look at the direction they are going, it should be towards Taixu Town!"
When Mu Xiao heard this, he always felt that something was wrong, if the sloppy man in the fat man's mouth was Jiang Linan, then why was he dressed up like this? Could it be that Lu Ling was in some trouble, Jiang Linan was on the run?
Mu Xiao waved his sleeves with both hands and continued to move forward, the fat man looked at his back and frowned slightly, he couldn't think of what he was thinking, he quickly followed Mu Xiao and asked, "Brother Mu, where are we going now?"
Mu Xiao's pace increased significantly, and he could see that he was a little nervous, but he didn't answer the fat man's words, but asked Qi Nian: "Where is Miss Qi?"
"Miss Qi has returned to the imperial capital, but she doesn't seem to be in a high mood when she leaves, you also know that her goal for this trip to the empty valley is (the ancient book of demon suppression), but it's a pity that ......" The fat man didn't continue, but said with a smile: "By the way, I'll follow you these days." ”
Mu Xiao turned back and asked, "Why?"
"Shizun said, he has something to do, don't take me with him, I think it's better to have a companion to walk with than to walk alone, I think it feels good with you, Brother Mu. The fat man said.
Mu Xiao glanced at him, turned his head and continued to walk forward, and threw a sentence out of his mouth: "Whatever, but I'm afraid I won't have a peaceful life with me these days." ”
"What's the matter?" the fat man's face was full of curiosity, and he seemed to be looking forward to the unknown.
......
When Mu Xiao and the fat man walked into Taixu Town, it was already nightfall, walking up the hillside, the lights of the houses on the mountainside were flickering, and the cold wind blew from the side face from time to time. The fat man behind him was shocked, what were you doing running up the mountain this big night?
"Brother Mu, why do you want to come here if you don't look for an inn in the town this big night?" The fat man couldn't help but ask, the wind on the mountain was so cold that it made people shiver, isn't it good to live in a room in the town?
Mu Xiao stopped on the graceful stone staircase to look, and the lights of the Yang family's old house were lit not far away, and Mu Xiao replied happily: "There is money to live in the town, but there is no need here!"
"Oh, acquaintances?"
"Old friend. ”
The door of the Yang family's old mansion was ajar, and the faint light reflected an elongated figure from inside and outside, as if to close the door. Mu Xiao strode forward, and the people inside were startled: "Who?"
"Yang Tuo, is the black dragon back?"
Mu Xiao looked in with his big hand against the door, and in front of him was Yang Tuo, the former guard of the Yang family, but after following the black dragon, he changed his name back, and at this time he should be called An Tuo. Mu Xiao smiled slightly embarrassed: "I should call you An Tuo now!"
"Brother Mu, you're back, I heard that after you went to Tongyou, there has been no news for several months, but I am worried. Come on, come in. ”
An Tuo was excited, originally thinking of cleaning the Yang family's old house, but he ran into Mu Xiao here. The door that Antuo was about to close was pulled aside, and a deep smile spread across his face.
Mu Xiao stepped into the small courtyard of the Yang family, and the fat man followed him in to look around, and then looked at An Tuo, who closed the door in the back.
The fat man took two steps back, smiled and looked at An Tuo stretched out his hand and saluted: "In the second half of the hanging, An Gongzi is a disciple of Taixumen?"
Mu Xiao, who was originally walking in front, turned back at this time, it turned out that An Tuo was wearing the clothes of Taixumen, when did this guy have anything to do with Taixumen?
Although Mu Xiao couldn't figure it out, he was still happy in his heart after all.
"Harm, after Master Yang and Young Master Yang went to Tianyuan some time ago, I didn't go back to Yang's house, it happened that Taixu Sect was recruiting disciples, so I went to try, and I really passed the entrance test. An Tuo closed the courtyard door and walked inside, looked at Mu Xiao and said, "The master has sent a letter, saying that he wants to settle down in Tianyuan, and this old mansion will be given to me." ”
"I see. ”
Mu Xiao didn't expect that Yang that old guy would actually settle down in Tianyuan, and it seemed that he was quite satisfied with Luo Xiaodie's granddaughter-in-law. But now he wants to know more about the news of Jiuling and Jiang Linan: "By the way, An Tuo, have you heard the news of Jiuling and Jiang Linan when you entered the Taixu Gate?"
The fat man had a kind of self-familiarity, and the two moved a stool while talking, and motioned for the two to sit down and talk. An Tuo nodded to the fat man to show his gratitude, took the stool and sat down on the ground, exhaled a long breath and said, "I must have heard that I came out this time to find Jiang Linan!"
Mu Xiao, who was just about to sit down, stood up again, his face was solemn, and his eyes were deep
There was a gleam in his eyes, his forehead wrinkled into the shape of "Chuan", and his eyes looking at An Tuo were faintly cold: "Looking for Jiang Linan?"
An Tuo's expression was obviously stunned, he just said that he was looking for Jiang Linan, why was Mu Xiao so dignified? He rubbed his hands with each other and said: "Jiu Ling was arrested by the door master a few months ago, but Jiang Linan is nowhere to be found, during this time, the disciples of the Taixu Sect have been killed, and the door master suspects that Jiang Linan did it, and has sent people out of the mountain to find Jiang Linan many times, wanting to arrest him back to the door." ”
Gu Ling was arrested? Mu Xiao's head suddenly flashed a bad premonition, then Jiang Qiaoqiao left in a hurry, I'm afraid it has something to do with this matter? The sloppy man that the fat man said should be Jiang Linan in disguise. Looking at the fat man at this time, the fat man's face was just as ugly, and the corners of his mouth squirmed a little hindsight: "In other words, the man who took Miss Jiang away was Jiang Linan?"
Mu Xiao didn't speak, and his silence almost confirmed the fat man's thoughts. However, An Tuo's face suddenly became excited: "Have you seen Jiang Linan? Where is he? He is worth a hundred taels of yellow...... Kim!"
Seeing that Mu Xiao's face was wrong, An Tuo said that his heart finally became empty.
Mu Xiao looked at it seriously at this time, and that kind of majesty could not tolerate An Tuo's presumptuousness: "If you dare to release the news, I want your life!"
Poof
An Tuo's figure slid down behind the stool, and he got up in a panic and nodded: "Don't dare!
"What are you panicking about? Let me ask you, do you know where Ling Ling is held?" Mu Xiao asked again.
An Tuo seemed to realize what Mu Xiao meant at this moment, and originally thought that Mu Xiao and Lu Ling were endless, but now it seems that he wants to save her.
An Tuo breathed a sigh of relief at this time and asked, "Brother Mu, can you explain what he wants to do?" No matter what the decision is, I, An Tuo, may be able to help a little. ”
"Save people!" Mu Xiao didn't want to say more nonsense.
When An Tuo heard this, his whole body trembled: "Save ...... Save people?" He sighed and continued: "Now that the master of the Taixu Sect is strong in the Sword Sect, I'm afraid this difficulty is unimaginable, the important thing is that the place where the elder is imprisoned is the Taixu dungeon, I heard that where the curved road is like a labyrinth, it is difficult to find the specific location." ”
The three of them suddenly fell silent, and the room seemed to freeze. The fat man sitting on one side scratched his head and touched his brain, then slapped his legs and laughed: "Isn't it over if you enter the Taixu Gate and then slowly find it?"
An Tuo glanced at him and said, "This is definitely not good, I think that the Elder of the Criminal Ministers of the Taixu Sect has always complained about the Sect Master's imprisonment of the Elder Dove." ”
"This is a breakthrough, where are the others?" Mu Xiao had a flash of inspiration, and seemed to see hope. Since someone is dissatisfied with Wei Long, he must have the heart to resist, as long as he finds that person and uses it, he may not be able to succeed.
An Tuo said helplessly at this time: "He is in Taixu Gate, it seems that among the people who went out to look for Jianglinan, the elder level is less, he has never been out of the mountain, it may be that the master of the door can't believe him, this time it is the deacon elder Qiushang who came out with us." ”
"What strength does Qiu Shang have, is it in Taixu Town?" Mu Xiao was a little impatient.
An Tuo was a little embarrassed and said: "The four elders of Taixu Sect are all in the realm of the Pseudo-Sword Sect, and so is Qiushang, it should be in the Chunhua Restaurant now, we have agreed on a time to meet, there should be half an hour." ”
At the same time, at the door of the Chunhua Restaurant in Taixu Town, several people wearing the costumes of Taixu Sect disciples were walking in, and they should also be disciples who came here to meet Qiushang. What will happen to Chunhua Restaurant tonight, no one can predict.
