I don't know when a dark cloud suddenly floated in the sky, slowly obscuring half the moon.

Father-in-law Kwai stood on the roof of the house opposite the post house where Qiao Beiming and the other seven people lived, with his hands behind his back, looking as if he was waiting for something. Unlike usual, Aoi's grandfather was wearing a long sword at his waist at this time.

A moment later, a man dressed in a Fuso samurai suit walked out of the post house, and then straightened his clothes in place before turning around and walking towards the corner.

Grandpa Aoi smiled slightly, his figure flickered, and the whole person had already appeared on the roof of the post station. But he still didn't go down and do it immediately, he said that he would do it cleanly. So, now is not the best time to make a move, and he still needs to wait.

Of course, as an old man, the last thing Aoi Gonggong is afraid of is waiting. It's just a matter of waiting for a while, this bit of patience, Grandpa Aoi still has it.

………………………………………

At the feet of Father-in-law Kwai is Qiao Beiming's room, and at this moment, Qiao Beiming is sitting cross-legged on the bed practicing exercises. Starting from Qiao Beiming's room, in the second room to the right, Meng Chixing and Pang Ban, the two masters and apprentices, were chatting inside.

"The man was demonstrating against me, or warning me." Meng Chixing held the tea cup in his hand, and as he spoke, he gently took a sip of tea into his mouth.

After drinking this sip of tea, Meng Chixing continued: "I'm not sure about that person's specific strength, but that person must be a master. I know you want to go to Wudang Mountain, but you have to remember to be careful of being robbed and killed by that master on the way. ”

Pang Ban smiled slightly, looked at Meng Chixing and said again after a pause: "Of course, now Ban'er, your kung fu is not much inferior to that of a teacher, so as long as you are a little careful, the possibility of something really going wrong is not very great." ”

"Demonstration." After Meng Chixing finished speaking, Pang Ban shook his head with a smile and said: "The little emperor of the Central Plains is really nervous that Mu Xiaojiu, he actually found a hidden master to threaten us, hoping to tie us up in the capital." ”

Meng Chixing smiled a little disappreciatively, "This little emperor is actually quite powerful, whether it is governing the country or government decrees, and even has a little experience in marching and arranging, what is even more rare is that he can endure it." It's a pity that he is still a little impulsive, and he is too emotional. is just a Mu Xiaojiu, to put it bluntly, he is just a chess piece. Chess pieces are such things, they should be discarded when they should be discarded, and if they have to give up a great opportunity because of just a chess piece, it will be absolutely difficult for this chess player to become a big weapon. ”

"yes." Pang Ban nodded, "If the Emperor of the Central Plains can extract those tangible and invisible supports given to Mu Xiaojiu at this moment, let Mu Xiaojiu exert the last bit of residual heat to drag us down before he dies, and then use the strength he has drawn to launch a fatal blow to Fusang or Goryeo, one of these two forces will inevitably be greatly injured, or even collapse." ”

"Hey, even if he deploys troops to strengthen border defense and investigation, and at the same time suppresses those forces that are ready to make a move and want to intervene in Mu Xiaojiu's matter, what use will it be?" Meng Chixing put the empty tea cup on the table, "Damn, there will always be death." Give up a great opportunity for a mortal pawn? It's ridiculous. ”

Pang Ban nodded approvingly, and was about to speak, but he heard a sudden noisy shouting outside the inn.

"What's the situation?" Meng Chixing and Pang Ban were stunned, and hurriedly got up and walked outside.

Qiao Beiming, who was practicing, naturally heard this voice, so he slowly stopped the true qi that was running in his body, and prepared to go out to have a look. However, at this moment, the window of his room was suddenly broken open. Then, Father-in-law Aoi, who was holding a long sword in one hand, flashed in through the broken window and appeared in front of Qiao Beiming's eyes.

"It's you!?" Qiao Beiming cried out in some fright, "Why did you appear here?" ”

Father-in-law Kwai looked at the frightened Qiao Beiming with a flat face, as if he was talking about eating and drinking, and said, "I'll kill you." ”

Qiao Beiming's eyes widened, he knew very well that he was not the opponent of the old eunuch in front of him, so the best way now was to run quickly. But judging by the speed at which the old eunuch had just rushed in through the window, it was estimated that it would be difficult for him to escape.

How could this old eunuch come to kill himself?

Qiao Beiming's mind was racing, if this old eunuch wanted to kill himself, it must have been instructed by the emperor, but if the emperor wanted to kill himself, then this matter would inevitably not be put on the surface. So, it's likely that the cacophony outside is just a cover-up, a disguise for the sound of oneself being killed, and at the same time distracting other people.

At this moment, Qiao Beiming's mind was unprecedentedly bright.

Now, the only way to survive the old eunuch's hands is to ......

Shout it out! As long as he made a voice and attracted the attention of others, even if they didn't have time to rush over to save themselves, there was a certain possibility that the old eunuch would not dare to do it.

Although this method does not guarantee that he will not die, it is the only way now.

All these thoughts crossed Qiao Beiming's mind at the same time, but they didn't delay even a little time. Therefore, the next moment after Grandpa Kui finished speaking, Qiao Beiming opened his mouth.

However, he didn't raise his voice and had another chance to call out, because the long sword held in Grandpa Aoi's right hand had already moved.

Since Father-in-law Aoi's long sword has moved, Qiao Beiming has almost no hope of survival.

Qiao Beiming's mouth had just opened, and the long sword in Grandpa Aoi's hand had already crossed the only little distance between the two. Qiao Beiming was instantly frightened into a cold sweat, and was about to retreat. But the sword in Grandpa Kui's hand seemed to have broken through the time limit, chasing Qiao Beiming's retreating body and stabbing forward.

Aoi Gonggong has never held a sword, but as long as his sword is struck, it will kill him.

Qiao Beiming retreated and retreated, until he hit the door, and there was no way to retreat.

At this moment, Qiao Beiming finally despaired.

In fact, Qiao Beiming was wrong from the beginning, he shouldn't have given up resistance directly, but he wanted to escape through some other methods.

However, it is often only in times of despair that people are able to realize the potential hidden in the deepest parts of their bodies.

Just when the long sword in Grandpa Kui's hand was about to hit Qiao Beiming's throat, Qiao Beiming suddenly reversed, and the whole person moved out sideways more than a step away.
