On the border between the Central Plains and the Qing Dynasty, the Qing garrison army was in the tent.

"Report!"

Listening to the shouts outside the camp tent, a man dressed as a general put down the information in his hand and said loudly: "Come in." ”

As soon as the words fell, the young man outside the camp tent lifted the curtain of the camp tent and walked in, "General, there is a person outside the camp, saying that he wants to report the whereabouts of the two Central Plains assassins. ”

"Central Plains Assassin?" The general raised his eyebrows, "Heh, let him in." ”

The young general got the order, and directly turned around and shouted, "Bring people in!" Then he saw two soldiers walking in with a man dressed as a small man.

"Little, little one has seen the general!" This little guy can't do anything else, but his ability to observe words and emotions is not weak, as soon as he came in, he directly pushed Jinshan and knelt down like a jade pillar, and bowed his head.

"Heh, you said you were going to report the whereabouts of the two Central Plains assassins? Tell me, if it's true, I can't miss your reward. If it's fake, you won't have to leave today. ”

When the little guy heard this, his body suddenly shook. But when he thought about it, what he said was completely true, what was there to be afraid of?

After settling down, the little guy was not so nervous, and said directly: "Lord Qiyu, the villain is the second child of the small shop not far ahead." Today, two dusty travelers came to our store, had a meal, and asked for two rooms. After the little one took them to the room, he was packing up in the backyard when he heard something he shouldn't have heard. Unexpectedly, this matter was discovered by these two people, so they wanted to kill the villain, but fortunately, the old shopkeeper fought to protect each other, so that the little one could run out and report the matter to the adult. ”

The general chuckled lightly, "What did you hear that you shouldn't have heard?" ”

The little girl's eyes rolled slightly, "I heard that they were going to assassinate a noble person in the palace, it seems that his name is Gonggong Gui." ”

"Grandpa Gui!?" As soon as he heard these three words, the general suddenly became calm, and directly slapped the table and stood up from his seat, "Are you sure you heard it right!?" ”

The little guy nodded heavily, "Little swear, if I have half a lie, I will let me thunder five times a day, and there will be no corpse!" ”

The general's brows furrowed tightly, and he waved his hand to signal the others to take the little guy down first, leaving only the young general, "Someone actually wants to assassinate Gonggong Gui, how can this be good?" ”

"General, Gonggong Gui is a big celebrity next to His Majesty, and he is in the palace, how can he be assassinated so easily, are we too worried?" The young general was a little puzzled, was his boss too nervous?

But the general's words made the young general stunned.

"Who said that Gonggong Gui is in the palace now, if I am really in the palace, why am I still so nervous? The problem is that not long ago, Gonggong Gui was sent by His Majesty to visit the first emperor. Although this matter is very hidden, few people know about it, and even I don't know where Gonggong Gui has gone. But since these people wanted to assassinate Gonggong Gui, how could they not find out in advance? ”

Speaking of this, the general suddenly remembered something, and said, "What do you think of that little guy before?" ”

The young general smiled, with some disdain in his eyes, "Half-truth, I know that the brothers under my command sometimes go to drink, and I have been there once or twice." This little guy is indeed the second child in that shop, so he shouldn't have lied to the assassin's matter. But when it comes to the shopkeeper's desperate protection of him, I don't believe it, these two guys have sharp-mouthed monkey gills, and they are not good goods. ”

The general thought for a moment, and finally nodded, "Forget it, you take a few people to the inn first and see if you can find anything." I will send someone to hurry back to the capital and report this matter to Your Majesty. This matter is related to Father-in-law Gui, and it is no longer up to you and me to decide. ”

"The last general commands!" The young general did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and directly knelt down on one knee to receive the general's order, and then walked out of the camp.

The general pondered in the tent for a while, then sighed, and called two commanders over: "You two, one of you will go and call me a clever man, someone who is better at equestrian skills to come, I have something to order; The other one went out, first let people imprison the little guy, and then went to order the people below to strengthen the border defense, they were all a bunch of waste, and they actually let people slip into the realm of my Daqing Dynasty from under their noses. ”

The two commanders received the order and walked out of the camp one after the other.

……

On the other side, Mu Xiaojiu and Mu Duan had already left the inn and hurried along the main road to the next city.

"Childe, just letting go of that little two, although it can play a role in inducing, but it will also reveal the appearance of the two of us. Besides, what kind of Gonggong Gui knew that it was someone in the palace as soon as he heard it, and if the people of the Qing Dynasty strengthened the defense of the capital, then it would be difficult for us to start. Mu Duan still didn't understand Mu Xiaojiu's arrangement.

Mu Xiaojiu shook his head, "Mu Xuan, although you are an old Jianghu, you still don't think about some things enough, and you are not very good at capturing news." ”

Mu Duan was stunned for a moment, and then said with a wry smile: "Childe, you mean, that tea shed?" ”

Before the fork in the road, Mu Xiaojiu stopped the horse, threw the shopkeeper's body off the horse, and then cut off the shopkeeper's head with a knife.

At this time, although a short period of time has passed since the shopkeeper lost his breath, the blood of the shopkeeper has not completely coagulated. Therefore, Mu Xiaojiu's knife went down, and a lot of blood still flowed out, and a small pool of blood flowed out on the ground.

Then, Mu Xiaojiu put the shopkeeper's corpse back on the horse and fixed it slightly with a loose slipknot. Then he took off his wrap and slapped the horse's buttocks. The horse was frightened, and immediately ran out with the shopkeeper's body.

Mu Xiaojiu and Mu Duan watched the horse run farther and farther, and then blood flowed down from the shopkeeper's neck from time to time, leaving a trail of blood on the ground.

When the horse slowly ran away, Mu Xiaojiu suddenly raised his hand and flicked his fingers towards Mu Xuan. Mu Duan understood, and a sword blocked the strength of Mu Xiaojiu's finger, and then he used his sword qi to make three moves with Mu Xiaojiu.

After three moves, the two of them stopped in unison, but there were already traces of fighting around them.

"That's it." Mu Xiaojiu put away the knife, threw the package or something onto the broken horse, and then rode it himself. Mu Duan thought about it, and in the end he didn't dare to ride with Mu Xiaojiu, but pulled the horse for Mu Xiaojiu in front.

They really aren't in a hurry at this point.

First of all, the little two went to tell the truth, and it would take a certain amount of time for the people over there to make a decision, and then they would definitely go to the inn to investigate first, and they would waste a little time. Then he began to send people to chase him, because he knew that the two of them were martial arts people, so he would definitely send more people over there to chase him, so that the border people would waste a little time when they were mobilized. After coming over, the suspicious tactics left by Mu Xiaojiu could make them confused for a while.

The two of them can now walk slowly.

"I'm not talking about the tea shed, I'm talking about the little shop just now. You listen carefully to what those two people said, Gonggong Gui and Wei Xiaobao, these two people actually know the real name of one of Ouchi's fathers-in-law, so it is obvious that there are definitely a lot of problems with these two people. Mu Xiaojiu suddenly explained.

"In other words, you, as a problematic stealer, would you release all your chips at once when you whistleblow?"

Mu Duan shook his head, and then said: "So, Childe, what do you mean, the appearance of the two of us, then Xiao Er will be kept as a hole card in the end?" ”

"That's right, so we don't have to worry about this anytime soon."

However, when the little second went to tell the truth, he refused to tell the truth about this kind of big thing, which would be a possibility. That is to say, if the people in the barracks over there are tough enough, he will definitely torture them to extract a confession and let the little two open their mouths. ”

Mu Duan glanced at Mu Xiaojiu with some surprise, "Childe, speaking of which, our appearance will still be exposed." ”

Mu Xiaojiu nodded, "Yes, it will still be exposed, but in this way, there will always be a time difference, right?" ”

"Time difference ......" Mu Duan chewed these three words in his mouth twice repeatedly, and then suddenly seemed to think of something, and looked at Mu Xiaojiu in surprise.

Mu Xiaojiu smiled and took out two things from his backpack, "That's right, the two of us can attract their eyes a few times when we appear like this." What was the purpose of spilling blood just now, and what is it for now. ”

Mu Duan looked at those two things, and laughed along, "It turns out that Childe has been ready for a long time, but I am too worried." ”

"It's a good thing to think a lot, but it's good to have some confidence in your son-in-law." Mu Xiaojiu rarely stinks in front of Mu Duan once, and Mu Duan can't help but feel a little funny when he sees it. Although this son of his own family is powerful, to be honest, sometimes he can really be called a child.

"Okay, okay, I see. Childe, let's go quickly, it's getting dark, and the two of us won't even be able to enter the city for a while. ”

"Hey, I can get up quickly, but are you going to race against this horse?"

"Childe, have you forgotten something? Your horse has been sent away by you, and now you are riding mine. ”

"What? Not convinced? Why don't you come and ride a horse, and I'll lead the horse? ”

"I ...... Childe, I was wrong, you ride, let's take our time. ”

"That's right. It's okay, as the saying goes, knowing your mistakes can improve a lot, since you realize your mistakes, then I will not care about the villain, and I will spare you this time. ”

"Thank you...... Thank...... Public...... Child! ”

"You're welcome."

Under the moonlight, the two of them finally sped up a little, and the two human skin masks that Mu Xiaojiu stuffed back into their backpacks also showed a little corner with the bumps.
