The dappled sunlight shining through the shade of the trees on the fallen leaves on the ground is very beautiful.

Chu Zhaonan squatted on the ground, feeling the warmth of the sun shining on his body, and suddenly felt that his heart was very cold, to be honest, his whole heart was really half cold now.

If he could, Chu Zhaonan would just want to escape now, escape from this dense forest far away, and disappear in front of Mu Xiaojiu's eyes. Because after that finger just now, Chu Zhaonan already knew in his heart that he was not Mu Xiaojiu's opponent at all.

But he knew he couldn't run away. He had already personally felt Mu Xiaojiu's speed, that kind of speed, to be honest, he didn't dare to challenge, because the challenge was useless, it was impossible for him to escape from Mu Xiaojiu's eyes, unless......

Unless someone saves him.

Mu Xiaojiu also understands this truth, as long as no one suddenly comes out today and saves Chu Zhaonan, there is only one outcome that Chu Zhaonan can face, that is, he dies in his hands. But he didn't plan to play any games with Chu Zhaonan, nor did he want to experience the pleasure of playing cat and mouse.

He just wanted to be quick.

Therefore, Mu Xiaojiu made a move, and with a move under his feet, Mu Xiaojiu's person had already appeared in front of Chu Zhaonan, and the red-clothed knife in his hand turned into knife light, and slashed at Chu Zhaonan's neck.

Although Chu Zhaonan knew that he would die, he still wanted to resist again, so he also moved. The dragon sword in his hand didn't slash or stab much, but simply swayed left and right beside him, and used it to resist the red-clothed knife that Mu Xiaojiu cut down again and again.

However, every time Mu Xiaojiu's knife fell, it would push him backwards for a short distance. After a while, Chu Zhaonan was already pushed by Mu Xiaojiu's knife after knife force, and he withdrew from the distance of more than a dozen steps.

Chu Zhaonan's face began to get worse and worse, his arm had begun to go numb, and the tiger's mouth in his right hand holding the sword was also cracked alive by Mu Xiaojiu. If this continues, within ten swords, he will no longer be able to hold the sword, and then he will be directly killed by Mu Xiaojiu.

"Die before you get out of the school...... Chu Zhaonan suddenly exhaled a breath and threw the Dragon Sword in his hand on the ground, "If you want to kill me, I will let you kill you, but I hope you can promise me one thing." ”

Mu Xiaojiu had already slashed at the side of Chu Zhaonan's neck, and suddenly stopped.

"Say."

Chu Zhaonan pointed to the Youlong Sword on the ground, "I hope that after I die, you don't send this sword back to Tianshan, on the contrary, I hope you can find someone and give him this Youlong Sword, anyone can do it." ”

Mu Xiaojiu smiled with interest, although he was very curious about why Chu Zhaonan didn't want to send this Dragon Sword back to Zen Master Xuanming, but he didn't have the leisure to ask any more. As the saying goes, the villain dies after all.

Therefore, Mu Xiaojiu nodded, and agreed to Chu Zhaonan's request, and then cut off Chu Zhaonan's head with a knife.

After killing Chu Zhaonan, Mu Xiaojiu picked up the You Long Sword on the ground, then used the scabbard behind Chu Zhaonan to load the sword, and then completely wrapped the You Long Sword with an oilcloth that also came from Chu Zhaonan.

"Tsk, thank you for helping me solve the killer in the back and giving me one of these swords." Mu Xiaojiu smiled lightly, took one last look at Chu Zhaonan, and then turned to leave.

……

"I'm Mu Xiaojiu, the special envoy of the imperial court, quickly open the door and let me in!"

The dense forest where Mu Xiaojiu and Chu Zhaonan fought was actually not far from the capital, and the troubles behind were all solved by Chu Zhaonan, so it only took Mu Xiaojiu two days to arrive in the capital, and he joined Mu Xuan, who arrived first.

"Mu Xuan, tell me, has anything happened in these days?"

Mu Xiaojiu took off the clothes on his body one by one, leaving only a pair of pants, and then the whole person lay down in the bathtub.

Looking at the more and more scars on Mu Xiaojiu's body, Mu Duan couldn't help but gasp, and then said: "It's okay here in the capital, the assassination has not continued, and those killers seem to have disappeared." With the cooperation of Linghu Gongzi, Su Gongzi and others, Liumen and the army searched and arrested the whole capital in the past two days, and only then did they successfully catch four people who did not have time to escape. None of the four killers had put poison on their lips, so it was almost certain that they weren't from the North Hades Tower. And their martial arts and postures are not the same, and they all seem to be people from some small sects in the Central Plains. It's just that these people have all learned the same as the Paiyun Palm, the Heavenly Frost Fist, and the Wind God's legs. ”

Mu Xiaojiu squinted his eyes slightly while scrubbing his body.

"Zhao Min's hand is really good, but it's a pity that it's still what I play with. At the beginning, I taught her to recruit martial arts people from the Central Plains, and then take them for her own use. Now he's really done it, and it's quite effective. It's just that I don't know how many people in the Central Plains martial arts have been recruited by her like this. ”

"Is there anything else?"

Mu Duan shook his head, "Without Childe, the rest of the things are some troop transfers, personnel arrangements, etc., and I don't know much about them." ”

"Okay, then let's do this first, I'll go into the palace to meet the emperor."

"Childe, it's too late now, will it be too late? Otherwise, you might as well go and see Your Majesty tomorrow. Mu Duan looked at Mu Xiaojiu, and he didn't understand why his son-in-law was in such a hurry to leave.

"It's okay, the Central Plains has been in turmoil in the past two days, internal and external enemies have come one after another, Your Majesty is also a person who works hard, and he must not have rested yet. I have something to tell Your Majesty. ”

Mu Duan answered, and then put the big one again for Mu Xiaojiu, and at the same time took out a cloak for Mu Xiaojiu, "Son, it's been very cold in the capital these two nights, so don't wear a big one, let's wear a cloak, it's warmer." ”

Mu Xiaojiu was stunned, and then took the cloak from Mu Duan's hand with a smile, "Okay, I have a heart." ”

Mu Duan didn't reply, because for him, it was just his business.

"By the way, in the oilcloth bag I brought back, there is a dragon sword, which is a real sword. Don't use your original sword, but replace it with this one. In addition, there is a book in my package, which is all my hand-copied swordsmanship and experience, including the Plum Falling Snow Sword, you learn them one by one, improve your strength. ”

Mu Duan pursed his lips, looked at Mu Xiaojiu's distant figure, and suddenly laughed happily. He knew that he didn't follow the wrong person after all, and the things he gave were also rewarded.

The location of this inn is very good, it happens to be in the center of the Forbidden City, Zhuge Zheng's mansion and the Liufenbantang station, and it is not very far away, Mu Xiaojiu is very convenient wherever he goes, and it doesn't take too long.

All the way forward, because of the assassination turmoil in the past two days, a curfew policy has been implemented in the capital. As a result, there was no one on the road today, only the soldiers and the six-door catchers patrolling one by one.

Mu Xiaojiu was interrogated once, but when he revealed his identity, a person was separated from the team and took Mu Xiaojiu to the Forbidden City, which saved Mu Xiaojiu the trouble of being interrogated again.

"Okay, Lord Mu, the lowly official position is too low, so I can only send you here."

Na Yu quickly saluted Mu Xiaojiu, and then left directly. Mu Xiaojiu looked at the towering walls of the palace, and then took a step and walked inside.

"Who's coming? Stop! Dare to go forward and kill without mercy! ”

A soldier saw Mu Xiaojiu walking towards the palace, suddenly frowned, pulled out the long knife at his waist, and greeted Mu Xiaojiu.

Mu Xiaojiu took out the waist card from his waist and showed it to the soldier, the soldier was shocked when he saw this, and directly knelt down on one knee, "I have seen Lord Mu in my humble position." A few days ago, His Majesty had already explained, as soon as Lord Mu came, he would immediately let him go whenever he came, and take you directly to meet him. Please wait a moment, and I'll go to my father-in-law, who His Majesty has arranged here. ”

Mu Xiaojiu nodded, although he thought that the emperor would definitely let him enter the palace at any time, but he really didn't expect that His Majesty would also send someone to wait for him at the palace gate.

After a while, the soldier came with a young eunuch with a white face and beard. The eunuch first saluted Mu Xiaojiu, and then said with a flattering smile: "Lord Mu, you can be regarded as coming, in the past two days, your majesty has been in a hurry, and I am talking about you every day." At this time, Your Majesty should have gone to Su Guiren, and our family will take you to see Your Majesty. ”

Mu Xiaojiu was a little stunned: "Your Majesty has already gone to bed?" Otherwise, forget it today, I'll come back tomorrow. ”

The eunuch shook his head: "I can't help it, Lord Mu." Your Majesty said that as soon as you come back to see Your Majesty, even if Your Majesty has already gone to bed, then you must wake Your Majesty awake. If you let Your Majesty know that you are coming, but leave because Your Majesty is resting. I'm afraid that tomorrow, I won't be able to keep my humble head. ”

Mu Xiaojiu smiled dumbly, "Okay, then for the sake of your head, let's go see Your Majesty." ”

The little eunuch suddenly smiled, "Okay, Master Mu, please first?" ”

Mu Xiaojiu nodded, walked in front, and then turned around and asked, "Your Majesty slept quite early today." ”

The little eunuch smiled, "Lord Mu, you are wrong. His Majesty did not go to Su Guiren to rest, but because that Su Guiren was born as a medical woman, and he often gave His Majesty a look to recuperate. In the past two days, His Majesty has been busy and a little tired, so he went to Su Guiren's side to work. It's easy to relax while working. ”

Mu Xiaojiu bowed slightly, it seems that His Majesty is really a little too tired these days.

"By the way, Your Majesty didn't encounter an assassination this time."

The little eunuch's face, which was still smiling, suddenly turned white, "Lord Mu is cautious, you can say this kind of thing, a subordinate like me can't speak without permission, and talk about major events in the palace, that is to kill the head!" ”
