Li Xiaoao walked towards Mo Shaoxiong, and Mo Shaoxiong was also constantly looking at Li Xiaoao. Just now it was just a quick glance, and at this time, when he looked closely, he found that Li Xiaoao was younger than he imagined.

With a different color on his face, Mo Shaoxiong stared at Li Xiaoao with burning eyes, and said:

"Third Prince, the housekeeper who was in charge of trading with your Li family just now sent a message that some other things were found in the ore sent by your Li family, and I want to go and see it with Third Prince. ”

Li Xiaoao's brows furrowed, is there a situation on the caravan's side? Li Xiaoao was a little puzzled. He nodded and followed Mo Shaoxiong to the backyard of Sword Casting Villa.

At this time, in the backyard, Steward Xing was arguing with the people of Sword Casting Villa, and both sides were really angry, and they were fighting each other.

When I saw Li Xiaoao and others coming. The entourage of Sword Casting Villa hurriedly ran to Mo Shaoxiong and said something. Steward Xing also came to Li Xiaoao's side and spoke to him.

After listening for a long time, Li Xiaoao figured things out.

It turned out that the Li family caravan had sent the goods to the Sword Casting Villa this morning in accordance with Li Xiaoao's previous order, and when they were counting the goods, they accidentally found a sword embryo in a cart of ore. Thinking of Mo Tianxiong's previous confession of losing the magic weapon, everyone in Sword Casting Villa did not dare to be careless, so the two sides had a dispute.

Mo Shaoxiong and Li Xiaoao glanced at each other. Then Mo Shaoxiong asked people to take the sword embryo.

Mo Shaoxiong took the sword embryo in his hand and looked at it carefully. The lost magic weapon of Sword Casting Villa is a sword embryo, and although the sword embryo in Mo Shaoxiong's hand is extremely similar to the one lost, Mo Shaoxiong still judged through the texture of the sword embryo that this is not the lost one, after all, this is just an ordinary mortal magic weapon. It's not as good as the one lost in Sword Forge Villa.

Mo Shaoxiong said apologetically to Li Xiaoao:

"Third son, I'm sorry. The people under him were clumsy and made a misunderstanding. ”

After listening to Mo Shaoxiong's words, Li Xiaoao understood that this sword embryo was not the one lost in Sword Casting Villa. He said some polite words to Mo Shaoxiong, and after handling the caravan, he left with the caravan's people.

Watching the Li family's caravan gradually leave, Mo Shaoxiong thought about it, not knowing what he was thinking.

Li Yan. Mo Shaoxiong shouted.

Li Yan came to Li Shaoxiong's side and looked at Mo Shaoxiong with a puzzled expression.

Mo Shaoxiong says:

"How's the internal investigation of our Sword Forge Villa?"

Li Yan replied:

"I have arranged for personnel to investigate, and I believe that there will be results in a while. ”

Mo Shaoxiong's face showed a sense of anxiety, sighed slowly, and said:

"Li Yan, I always have a feeling of uneasiness when I wake up this morning. The various family sects have already asked, and I really can't think of anyone who came to my Sword Forging Villa to steal the magic weapon. I have some suspicions that there are traitors in our Sword Forge Villa. ”

Li Yanyan's heart fluttered when he heard this, and he said:

"Young Zhuang Master, wait for the results of the internal investigation of the villa to come out in a while, and everything will be clear. I have arranged for people to block all the roads to leave, and it will be difficult for the treasure thieves to leave, so don't worry. ”

Mo Shaoxiong nodded, his expression softened slightly, and said:

"What do you think of the Li family's matter just now. ”

Li Yan thought for a moment and said:

"I think this should be a false accusation, but what makes me wonder why the treasure thief would do this, with a fake magic weapon, can he be planted to blame?"

Mo Shaoxiong also had a puzzled look on his face when he heard this, and after a long time, he said:

"Send more people during this time, I always feel that things are not so simple. ”

Hearing this, Li Yan nodded.

......

Li Xiaoao returned to the inn. Today's events are indeed a bit inexplicable.

Inexplicably, he was "invited" by the Sword Casting Villa, and the caravan was inexplicably stuffed with a sword embryo. This cast a haze on Li Xiaoao's heart. asked the criminal steward to call, and Li Xiaoao said to the criminal steward:

"Let the people in the caravan stay honest these days and don't go out and around at will. ”

The criminal steward agreed, and then ordered to go.

Li Xiaoao looked thoughtful, sometimes frowning, sometimes stretching, not knowing what he was thinking.

......

Nine Python Mountain not far from the Sword Casting Villa.

Nine Python Mountain has been shrouded in a cloud of fog for many years, and it is full of smoke from a distance, making people unable to see the face of the mountain clearly. Legend has it that a long, long time ago, there was a nine-headed snake in Jiumang Mountain, the nine-headed snake was bloodthirsty and cruel, and fed on human flesh and caused disaster in the township.

Later, an immortal man took action and suppressed the nine-headed snake at the foot of Jiumang Mountain, and the Nine Python Mountain was named.

At this time, the Nine Python Mountain was still shrouded in fog, and a black shadow in black clothes and black robes was galloping among the mountains on the Nine Python Mountain.

After a while, the black shadow came to a cave in Nine Python Mountain. At this time, dozens of people had gathered in the cave, and they were all dressed in black and robed like the black shadow.

The black shadow lingered over the crowd for a moment, and then said to a leader-looking man:

"Dharma protector. ”

As he spoke, the dark shadow pulled out a wooden box from the storage bag.

As soon as the wooden box appeared, a bloody aura emerged from the wooden box, and the bloody aura instantly spread in the cave.

The man in black, known as the Dharma Protector, saw the change in the wooden box and hurriedly took out three short swords from his bosom.

The short sword slashed through the air a few times, and an invisible formation had been formed, and the formation instantly suppressed the blood in the wooden box.

At this time, the black shadow said to the Dharma Protector:

"Dharma protector, this is the magic weapon of the Sword Casting Villa I said. With that, he handed the wooden box to the Dharma Protector.

The Dharma Protector stretched out his hand, and his fingers gently wiped over the surface of the wooden box, and the bloody aura that had been exuded from the wooden box before retracted back into the box under his wipe.

The Dharma Protector observed for a while, and he didn't take the risk of opening the wooden box, but through observation, he already had a judgment on this magic weapon.

"Good, good. ”

He said three "good" words in his mouth, and his emotions had become excited.

Putting the wooden box into the storage bag, he looked up at the dark shadow and said:

"This time, you have made a great contribution, and the Sword Forge Villa has no suspicion of you. ”

"Don't worry, I will be careful. The dark shadow replied, and then he asked cautiously:

"Dharma Protector, about the thing that promised me before?"

The Dharma Protector stared at him, and the black shadow stared at him without changing his face.

After a moment, the Dharma Protector spoke:

"Go back, I'll do what I promised you. Remember to be careful not to be discovered. ”

The shadow nodded, and walked out of the cave.

"Dharma Protector, do we really want to help him?"

"Since I promised him, I naturally had to do it. Our Nine Shadows Hall also has to be faced. Moreover, the sword embryo is only a prototype and requires a lot of blood sacrifice, and this is our chance. ”

As he spoke, the cold glint in the Dharma Protector's eyes disappeared for a moment.

At this moment, a thunderclap suddenly sounded outside the cave, and then the drifting heavy rain fell with a loud fall.
