Chapter 346: Overnight at the Broken Temple
Mu Xiaojiu left Mu Qian's shop with Mu Duan, Mei Chaofeng and Li Xiaobai.
When the group of four left, Mu Qian was taking advantage of the night to hang the map outside the store. They thought about it carefully, and it was safer to hang the map outside, and then the wooden money could also be excused from not hanging it themselves.
In fact, he did.
The next morning, a few martial arts people who went out to investigate the situation rushed into the store in a hurry, and came straight to Muqian, and asked excitedly as soon as they came over: "Boss, did you hang the map outside?" ”
Mu Qian was stunned for a moment, and then frowned, "What map?" ”
A young man panted and said, "That's it, it's the annotated map and distribution map near the border line of the Qing Dynasty." ”
Mu Qian shook his head very dryly, and then walked out of the counter, "Where is it?" You take me to see it. ”
Several people hurriedly went to the outside of the store with the wooden money, and then pointed to the map that the wooden money had pinned to it last night. Mu Qian looked at it carefully, then turned his head to look at the people, "Is the picture on this map real?" ”
Several people looked at each other, and then nodded excitedly, "Part of it happens to be the place we are investigating, and it has not been fully confirmed." Some of the things marked on the map are absolutely true, and we are preparing to take another look. ”
Mu Qian hesitated, then took off the map.
"Eh, eh! Boss, what are you doing? Don't tear it off! ”
Mu Qian took a sip, "Are you idiots?" This thing is hanging out so obviously, are you planning to let my little shop be smashed by the Qing soldiers tomorrow? Besides, when did I say I'm going to tear this map off? I just want to hang this thing in the house and study it together. Although I am old, I am still a Central Plains person. ”
As he spoke, Mu Qian secretly praised this young man in his heart, and he found out a few days ago that this young man was full of enthusiasm and had the demeanor of a decent chivalrous man. The most important thing is that this kid is still from their Kunlun faction.
Fortunately, Mu Qian has done some disguise now, and he didn't often show his face when he was in the sect, so this kid didn't recognize him either.
Several people were relieved when they heard Mu Qian's words, and they hugged Mu Qian and walked to the store, and kept praising Mu Qian as they walked, and Mu Qian was not upset when he listened.
On the other side, before nightfall, Mu Xiaojiu and the others hurried up, and finally finished more than half of the journey, and if they continued like this, it was estimated that they would almost arrive in the capital at noon tomorrow.
In fact, if he could, Mu Xiaojiu originally wanted to continue his journey and return to the capital as soon as possible. However, such a high-intensity drive was not only very tiring, but the horses were also a little unbearable, so in the end everyone was ready to find a place to rest.
What is the most common place for people to stay when they go out? For this question, some people may answer the inn, but in fact, the most common people in the rivers and lakes used to settle down, in addition to the wild, are actually those broken temples, Taoist temples and other places.
After all, inns are honest, and they really don't happen everywhere. In contrast, there will be more places like broken temples and Taoist temples.
For example, now, Mu Xiaojiu and his group of four people have found a broken temple to settle in.
Looking at the fire light from the hidden gate of the broken temple, Mu Duan frowned and walked to Mu Xiaojiu's side, "Childe, do we want to change places?" ”
Mu Xiaojiu thought for a moment, then shook his head, "It's okay, let's go, let's go in." ”
The four of them thought that someone would be inside after entering, but when they pushed open the door and walked in, everyone was shocked - there was no one in the ruined temple except for a fire, and there were no traces of a fight or blood.
Looking at the firewood burning in the fire, Mu Xiaojiu's brows screwed to one place, "This fire has been lit until now, it is estimated that it will only take a quarter of an hour, it won't be too long, but the people in the temple are gone, what kind of love is this-"
As he spoke, everyone heard a loud roar, and then a young man in purple slammed directly into the gate and rolled on the ground before standing up.
This young man looked handsome, but his hair was a little disheveled, his clothes were a little dirty, and there were a few holes, and there were faint traces of blood coming out of it.
Mu Xiaojiu took a closer look, and suddenly said with some surprise: "Hua Weiqing? ”
That's right, this young man in purple is Li Qingxi's fellow disciple and brother, Hua Weiqing. But in Mu Xiaojiu's impression, this Hua Weiqing has always advanced and retreated with Qing Yu, but why is he only seen him alone today.
Hua Weiqing obviously also saw Mu Xiaojiu, and was about to speak, when he heard a voice from outside the broken temple, "Tsk, two idiots, my little plan to turn the tiger away from the mountain caught this Qingyu." Hua Weiqing, are you sure you don't choose to surrender yet? ”
I don't know why, Mu Xiaojiu always felt that this voice was a little familiar.
The next moment, the gate of the ruined temple was slammed open, and six men in golden money gang uniforms walked up first, followed by more than twenty people, two of whom were escorting Qing Yu who was tied up.
"Huh? How can there still be people? Money helps errands, and idlers and others will get out of me. ”
"Hush." Mu Xiaojiu walked out from behind Mu Duan, his face full of disdain, "Money helps errands?" You really think of the Money Gang as some kind of behemoth, don't you? Talking so arrogantly, I haven't seen you for a long time, and now you dare to let me get out of the way. ”
The six leaders were furious, and were about to say something, but they all let out an exclamation, "! Mu Xiaojiu! It's actually Mu Xiaojiu! Damn, how can we run into this evil star wherever we go? When the fourth child acted with the knife, it was a good thing to be spoiled by this kid. ”
"Tsk, you still know me." As soon as Mu Xiaojiu spoke, his tone was full of mockery, "I thought that after you people joined the Money Gang, you already boasted that you were the first in the world." Saying that, Mu Xiaojiu suddenly stretched out his hand to Mu Xuan, and after Mu Xuan was stunned for a moment, he immediately understood, took out a few copper plates from his waist and handed them over.
Mu Xiaojiu took the copper plate, glanced at Hua Weiqing with some vagueness, and then said: "Although I was just passing by, I don't know why, I actually ran into a few of your acquaintances, by the way, don't you have a total of seven people?" Why are there only six left? ”
The eldest brother among the six gritted his teeth and said: "After the fourth child was killed by you, he was killed again before his martial arts were restored to the extreme. Well? What do you do when you count copper plates? ”
Mu Xiaojiu didn't answer, but just sneered and said, "Killed again?" That kid is really unlucky, but then you fourth child can't be killed by these two people, right? Tsk, I'll just tell you why you have a dead dad expression. ”
The third of the six people noticed that Mu Xiaojiu counted out six copper plates, and a bad premonition suddenly rose in his heart: "You, what are you counting copper plates for?" ”
Mu Xiaojiu grinned and held the six copper plates in his hand, "Didn't you money gang always say that money falls and people are not guaranteed?" It's so domineering, I'd love to learn it. I have six copper plates here, corresponding to the six of you, whoever has the copper plate on the ground will die, okay? ”
After speaking, before the six people could reply, Mu Xiaojiu had already thrown the copper plate up.
If this were another person to say such a thing, the six would only scoff. What the hell, you say that if you don't protect your head, you don't protect your head, who do you think you are?
But when these words came out of Mu Xiaojiu's mouth, the six of them didn't dare to do this.
As the copper plate was thrown high, the string in the hearts of the six people was suddenly tightly pulled, and they rushed out directly like madmen. Because of this, their eyes were all attracted to the copper plate, but they didn't notice that the red-clothed knife in Mu Xiaojiu's sleeve had fallen, and behind him, as soon as Mu Duan let go, more than twenty copper plates quietly fell to the ground.
The sound of the copper plate landing on the ground was very crisp and pleasant, and the six people suddenly panicked when they heard it, but soon they found that it was not their own copper plate that landed, and there were more than six copper plates.
"Oh no, Mu Xiaojiu wants to save people!"
The six of them finally understood that Mu Xiaojiu knew Hua Weiqing and Qing Yu, but at this time it was already too late.
Mu Xiaojiu's body flickered, and he had already rushed in front of the more than 20 money gang members behind, and the red-clothed knife in his hand suddenly came out of its sheath, cutting the rope that tied Qing Yu in an instant, and also killed the two people who had been holding Qing Yu.
As soon as Qing Yu got out of trouble, he didn't dare to stay longer, he jumped forward, and then turned around and threw out two hidden weapons, taking the lives of the two money gangs.
At the same time, the six Tang Sect outcasts saw that the situation was not good and were about to flee, but they were directly stopped by Mu Duan and Mei Chaofeng, and the eight of them fought together like this.
With Mu Xiaojiu's current kung fu, these more than 20 ordinary gangs of the Money Gang are obviously not enough, but after a short period of effort, more than 20 people were cut by Mu Xiaojiu with a red-clothed knife and fell to the ground and died.
Hua Weiqing had already rushed over at this time, and the first thing she said when she came over was, "Xiaoyu, are you okay?" ”
Qing Yu shook his head, Hua Weiqing breathed a sigh of relief, and then ran to the corpses of the two money gang members who had been holding Qing Yu before, raised his foot and kicked up, scolding while kicking: "Let you bully my little fish!" Let you bully my little fish! ”
Mu Xiaojiu couldn't laugh or cry when he saw it beside him, but he didn't stop Hua Weiqing's angry behavior, he just turned back to Mei Chaofeng and Mu Duan and said, "Don't worry, just don't kill you!" It doesn't matter if you lack arms or legs, senior sister Mu Xuan, you two don't have to be so restrained. ”
