The southern city has ended the hustle and bustle of the night, the northern city has not yet begun to be busy during the day, and the bright moon of autumn is high in the sky, and it seems that even if the sun rises, it will not set easily.

Shangguan Fei glanced back at the city that was dark before dawn, and let out a prophetic sigh, "Today, the entire Biyu City will fall into madness. ”

Old Man Mu raised his long sword and hit Shangguan Fei on the head, "You are possessed by a rat essence? Say such an unlucky thing, do you want Biyu City to return to Xiaoyue Hall? You are not allowed to mention the word 'crazy' again in the future." ”

Shangguan Fei had been living by his mother's side for a few days, and he had just regained a little of his old feelings, glaring at Old Man Mu, and then he was consumed, rubbing his forehead, and said with a smile: "I mean as soon as the news of the theft of the Meng family spread...... I can guarantee that even if Jinpeng Castle falls today, it will not get more attention, and the people of Biyu City are always more interested in money. ”

"That's also unlucky, if the news spreads today, we will be unlucky, Meng Er has to hold on for five or six days. ”

"Yes, yes, I was wrong. "Shangguan Fei was so disappointed that he wanted to wait for me to become the king of Dubu...... But he immediately remembered that the future Dubu King was only an empty shell, and he might never be able to restore his old glory, so he became listless, "It doesn't take five or six days, four days is enough, and then the Dragon King will take over." ”

A long convoy winded out of the west gate of Biyu City, and it was not yet the time when the city gate was opened, but the Meng family's convoy had a privilege.

In addition to the huge scale, the entire convoy looks very normal, the old steward of the Meng family, Duan Zihua, personally led the team, bodyguards, miscellaneous servants are readily available, and there is even a Jinpeng flag at the front.

There are also a few small camel teams from Nancheng, they pay a little money, they can follow behind the Meng family's convoy and enjoy the highest level of security measures, this money usually belongs to the team leader, but Duan Zihua refused this time, "It's not what it used to be, there is no safe place in the Western Regions, I was just robbed a few days ago, I don't object to you wanting to follow the team, but I don't charge money, and I don't guarantee safety." ”

If even the Meng family's goods can't be guaranteed to be safe, the small camel team is even more powerless to protect themselves, so they still voluntarily cling, "The war is about to start, one more trip is a trip." This is the rhetoric of many business owners.

Old Man Mu and the others were the "bodyguards" hired by one of the camel teams, and what they really wanted to protect was actually the Meng family's team.

Tu Gou followed the old man Mu closely, and after getting used to the knife, he threw his cane completely in Nancheng, but the excitement brought by the mission last night was still lingering in his heart, lingering, "Do you say that we are doing it too early? They will find the corpse as soon as it is dawn, and when the time comes, ...... Will it be chased out? ”

"How many times have I told you, don't always talk about big things, beware of the walls have ears. Old Man Mu taught impatiently, "Besides, this trick is called striking the east and west, and Jinpeng Castle is busy investigating the cause of death, so he can't pay attention to anything else." ”

"Will it work?"

"Why, you don't believe me, the dragon king asked you to obey my orders, just because he thinks I'm smarter than you......"

Tu Gou muttered quietly, "The Dragon King said that you are not allowed to kill, but he didn't say that I should listen to your orders." ”

Old man Mu heard in his ears, "Ha, it seems that you are not convinced, who made the whole plan an hour ago? Who led the old dog into the Bodhi Garden by example? And who comforted the old fool who was trembling and urinating?"

"You scolded me and hit me three times, but you didn't comfort me, and I didn't shiver, let alone pee. ”

The two of them quarreled over this matter, Shangguan Fei hid far away, the characteristics of these two people were too obvious, and they couldn't hide their disguises, so it was better to pretend not to know, he didn't pretend to be a woman this time, but he painted it black and ugly, leaving no trace of his original face.

Tie Linglong rode through the two old men without saying a word.

"What does she mean?"

"No polite ......"

Tie Linglong went straight to Shangguan Fei's side and asked in a low voice, "Are you sure those people are Jinpeng killers?"

"Can't be wrong. Shangguan Fei replied in a lower voice, "I also know one of them, my mother inquired, they are all mid-level killers, and many of them only quit from the stone castle at the beginning of this year. ”

In Jinpeng Castle, once the killer has passed his prime, he is an "old killer" regardless of his age, and there are only three ways to go: stay in the castle and mix up a position, such as the killer master, receive a meager salary and wait for death slowly, live in the mountains, and be called the "mid-mountain killer", and quit the stone castle to fend for himself and join the team of wandering swordsmen and robbers.

"At the beginning of the year?" Tie Linglong frowned, "So it's just a coincidence, and it has nothing to do with us?"

"Coincidence, certainly coincidence. ”

Tie Linglong hoped that she could have the ability of a dragon king and see through the fog at a glance, but she was at a loss, so she had to put this matter aside for the time being.

Nie Zeng was nowhere to be seen, and he was the only one who hid the best among the people.

At dawn, Biyucheng gradually shrank in sight, and Old Man Mu glanced at it again and sighed, "Alas, my mother-in-law is still in Biyucheng, I hope she won't die too miserably." ”

Tu Gou didn't hear the meaning of expectation, and thought that Old Man Mu was worried, "I don't think so, Hall Master Han is very smart, without the help of the Dragon King, she won't act on her own." ”

"You can never fathom what a madman thinks. ”

The speed of the procession was not too fast, and the slaughtering dog had been anxiously waiting for news from the city to catch up, and at the sound of horses' hooves behind him, he looked back nervously, but the whole day was quiet, and even the chilly autumn wind seemed to have stopped.

When resting in the tent at night, the old man suddenly said, "I have a sense of foreboding." ”

"What?" Tu Gou thought it wouldn't be good, but he couldn't help but ask.

"The ghost of the fake Meng Yuzun may come to you tonight. ”

The old man Mu covered his head and slept heavily, leaving the slaughtering dog to be frightened for half a night, until he was about to take a nap at dawn, and just closed his eyes and dreamed of the big fat man, this is not the first time that the slaughtering dog has killed people, but it is the first time to assassinate a defenseless person who does not even know martial arts, in the dream, the fake Meng Yuzun opened his eyes and started an unremitting struggle with him.

The slaughtering dog was entangled in his dream, and suddenly felt a burst of alertness, sat up, and pulled out the knife in half.

Old Man Mu jumped out a few steps, holding the long sword in his hand, "It's okay, it's not too stupid, it's qualified to walk the rivers and lakes." Get up and go. ”

At noon that day, the news that Tugou was both worried and looking forward to finally came.

A hundred Jinpeng troops galloped in from the direction of Biyu City, stopped the convoy, and demanded that everyone turn around and return to the city immediately, and in the blink of an eye, the news of Meng Yuzun's death spread throughout the entire team.

Tu Gou was puzzled, "Death?

"Death is also a disease. Old Man Mu said in a deep voice, and then changed back to his normal tone, "Stupid, the Dubu King is calming people's hearts, and then secretly looking for the real murderer - it's you - well, only a hundred soldiers came, which shows that my plan has succeeded, and Jinpeng Fort has not yet discovered the importance of this convoy." ”

"But the Jin Peng Army wants us to turn around. ”

"Don't worry, look at that Duan Zihua's ability. ”

Duan Zihua howled and cried, knelt down on the spot, and kowtowed in the direction of Biyu City, and even the leader of the Jinpeng Army came up to help, but when it came to turning around and returning to the city, Duan Zihua sternly refused, "This is the rule of the Meng family, the goods go out of the city, and you can't turn back until you reach the destination, the old master died of illness, I will come out like this again, not to fill in the Meng family." ”

The two sides were deadlocked, and Old Man Mu was tired of waiting, and even proposed to kill, but the others disagreed, feeling that it was not necessary.

An hour later, the people of the Meng family arrived, and the order of the new patriarch Meng Mingshu came, "The family has changed dramatically, and business is the most important, so Duan Zihua will deliver the goods quickly and return to the city as soon as the matter is over." ”

The Jinpeng army also seemed to have received some orders and no longer insisted on making a U-turn, but they stayed, and after camping in the evening, they began to inquire about the origin of everyone in the convoy.

Old Man Mu's dwarf and iron-clad green eyes couldn't be concealed, so he was interrogated the most.

Tie Linglong proudly refused to answer all questions, but when it came to showing "high up", she was no match for Old Man Mu.

The old man Mu sat cross-legged on the saddle, holding the unsheathed long sword in his hand, and drew a half circle in front of him, "I declare that within a sword is the land of the North Court, and those who trespass will be killed." ”

"You're from Beiting?"

"The authentic Beiting people are the masters of your family. ”

The soldiers of the Jinpeng Army surrounded him angrily, but no one entered the sword, "I know you, you are the old man of the wood, the subordinate of the Dragon King." ”

"So what, neither the Dubu King nor the Dragon King said they were going to war, do you want to do it first?"

Jinpeng Fort and the Dragon Army are currently in an ambiguous state, the battle is undecided, and ordinary soldiers are at a loss.

The leader of the camel team came over, took out his voucher, and claimed that Old Man Mu and the others were all doing things for the Beiting Army of Tongtian Pass, and resolved a small turmoil, but after that, several of the Dragon King's subordinates were monitored, and only Nie Zeng avoided the attention, and he was not conspicuous at all among the ordinary swordsmen.

For Shangguan Fei, the next journey was the most difficult, for fear of accidentally revealing his horse's feet and being recognized by his true identity, his eyes swept among the soldiers of the Jinpeng Army, and he felt that everyone looked like killers pretending.

On the evening of the third day after leaving Biyu City, the convoy ran into great trouble, and an army of more than 1,000 men met it from Tongtian Pass, claiming to have been ordered to escort the convoy.

Shangguan Fei was frightened, and he didn't care about avoiding suspicion, so he summoned Old Man Mu, Tu Dog, and Tie Linglong to his tent, "Oh no, there is still one day to reach the agreed place, and the Beiting Army will catch up, a hundred Jinpeng troops are insignificant, this is more than a thousand cavalry." ”

"It's just a thousand cavalry, the dragon king raised his arms and shouted, he could come and summon an army several times as much, what are you afraid of, sharpen your weapons, and you can open the meat tomorrow." Old Man Mu was excited, "Our task is to keep an eye on a few key figures in the Jinpeng Army and don't let them run away." ”

Tu Gou and Tie Linglong both agreed with Old Man Mu's point of view, Shangguan Fei felt a little relieved, but he made up his mind that when the two armies fought tomorrow, the first priority was to save his surname, he had done enough for the Dragon King, and there was no need to grab credit.

On the fourth day out of the city, Shangguan Fei was worried all day, staring at the Jinpeng Army and the Beiting Cavalry, and looking at the southern wilderness, and several other people, including Tu Dog, were all gearing up for a fierce battle.

As a result, the dragon king's army did not appear on time.
