Chapter 368: Thousand Li's End Hibiscus
Sitting on the chair with his face, Mu Xiaojiu smiled playfully, just quietly looked at the shopkeeper of Tingxiang Wine Workshop, and did not take the initiative to speak, nor did he make any moves.
After a long time, the shopkeeper of the Xiangjiu Workshop finally couldn't help it, and said with a wry smile: "My lord, I recruited, I recruited everything, what you want to know, I will tell you everything." ”
"Oh?" Mu Xiaojiu touched his chin, "Tsk, has the shopkeeper changed his mind?" ”
Listening to the shopkeeper of the Xiangjiu Workshop, he nodded weakly: "Can I still not recruit?" I'm afraid you've guessed it, but I just need to tell you the answer myself. ”
"That's right." Mu Xiaojiu laughed, "Then you can say it." ”
"I, in fact, am a chess piece left by the people behind Lu Junyu, although I also received a warning like everyone else, but we were warned in different ways. They received a letter, but I saw the messenger. ”
"And the man's warning to me was not the same as the one he had given to the others. I also had to pay my money every month, but it was half as much as the others, and they only said that when I needed to use my place in the future, I had to do what they told me or it would kill me. ”
"Before I was taken away by the king that day, I received a letter, which partly wrote what I said that day, and it also said that as long as I did it, my wife and children would be completely free in the future."
Mu Xiaojiu bowed slightly, and after thinking for a while, he finally asked, "Why did they choose you?" ”
"There's another part of the letter involved." As he spoke, the shopkeeper of the Xiangjiu Brewery had some resentment on his face, "If you don't come to me tonight, my lord, tomorrow I will be condemned by my conscience, and then go to the yamen to surrender and show myself the fact that I am a Korean." They chose me because they liked me as a Korean. ”
Mu Xiaojiu took a deep breath and asked again, "Did the letter say that if I came to you tonight, what would you do?" Surely they will not miss that. ”
"Heh, of course they expected it."
Looking at the face of the shopkeeper of Tingxiang Wine Shop who suddenly became hideous, Mu Xiaojiu instantly understood that he had encountered an ambush.
"If you're here, of course I'm going to report to the higher-ups!"
As soon as the roar fell, four or five black-clothed men with long swords broke in through the window outside, and at the same time threw a shuttle dart at Mu Xiaojiu, and at the same time, the shopkeeper of the Tingxiang Wine Shop pulled his wife and children over, slapped them on the side of the bed, and then slipped away from the turned bed.
From the time the shopkeeper said those words, Mu Xiaojiu always felt that something was wrong, if he was going to turn himself in the next day, then why couldn't he turn himself in directly, but instead delay for a day and let things change?
Now Mu Xiaojiu probably understands. Originally, these people's plan may have been to make the shopkeeper of Tingxiang Wine Shop surrender immediately, or deliberately expose obvious flaws, let people arrest him, and sacrifice himself to protect the power behind the body. But because the person who came was themselves, not other officials, they changed their minds.
In this way, the forces behind them are very interesting, who actually set up this kind of game, just to kill him Mu Xiaojiu?
Mu Xiaojiu wasn't sure, and it wasn't time to think about these things now, after all, he was under siege by five first-class masters. And the footsteps outside the attic also prove that at this moment, a net has been laid outside.
Letting go of a long sword that stabbed him in the chest, Mu Xiaojiu shook his right hand, pulled out the red-clothed knife from his arms, and then split the other two long swords with one sword.
"Tsk, five first-class masters, it seems that your master really wants to kill me." Mu Xiaojiu chuckled and said, "It's just that your master underestimated me, and actually thought that even the five of you could defeat me?" ”
The five people didn't reply, they just continued to raise their swords and attack Mu Xiaojiu.
At this moment, the roof tiles were suddenly stepped on, and then, four large nets fell from all sides, directly enveloping the entire two-story building.
Then, Mu Xiaojiu was surprised to find that the eyes of the five first-class masters who besieged him actually showed expressions of looking at death as if they were at home.
"Dead ...... Dead soldiers......" Mu Xiaojiu's face finally showed bitterness, not only because he discovered the identities of these five dead soldiers, but also because he heard the sound of "clang" and "clang" outside, as well as the smell of fire oil that slowly escaped.
"Even if you waste five dead soldiers, will you burn me alive?" Mu Xiaojiu gritted his teeth, he couldn't imagine that the people behind Lu Junyu actually had such a strong hatred for himself.
"My master told you not to continue to investigate, but you want to investigate. Now you will die only because you are asking for your own hardship. A dead man finally spoke his first words, and he was followed by several torches that had been thrown into the two-story building.
The temperature in the room rose all at once.
Mu Xiaojiu's eyes were cold, and he suddenly pulled out a red sleeve knife in his left hand, "But your master shouldn't know yet, I have two knives." After speaking, Mu Xiaojiu took a heavy step forward, and then swung out with a knife.
Under the light of the fire, this knife reflected a dazzling light, and directly split the two people in front of him into two sections.
And that's not all!
In the blood spilled in the sky, Mu Xiaojiu did not avoid the falling blood, but walked directly through the two corpses, and then cut off his right hand with another knife, cutting off the head of the person who spoke before.
If it weren't for the raging fire burning outside, Mu Xiaojiu would definitely choose to kill the two guys behind him. But at this moment, in this situation, he can't and doesn't dare to fight. So instead of reflexively fighting those two people, he chose to lunge forward, and then broke through the big net outside with one sword.
"Damn, those five wastes inside didn't actually entangle this Mu Xiaojiu." The man in black who had attacked with a shuttle dart during the day was also standing downstairs at this time. Seeing that Mu Xiaojiu was about to fly out, this person scolded, and then raised his hand to hit Mu Xiaojiu's calf.
Mu Xiaojiu was hit by a dart, and he was a little painful, but he didn't dare to stay longer, and he didn't even turn his head back, and fell directly outside the courtyard.
Those people in the courtyard didn't wait for the black-clothed man to give an order, so they chased them out one after another, it seemed that if Mu Xiaojiu couldn't be left tonight, they would definitely not give up.
And Mu Xiaojiu, who fell outside the courtyard, was already a little dizzy, and he didn't have to think about it, the darts thrown by the man in black must have been quenched with poison on them.
However, the shouting and killing behind him was still everywhere, Mu Xiaojiu had the intention to use his skills to dispel the poison, but how could those people behind him give him this time? In a hurry, he had to raise his knife and rip off the piece of meat on his leg where he was hit, and then clicked on the acupoint to stop the bleeding, and stumbled while taking the Nine Flowers Jade Dew Pill and fled.
However, the onset of toxicity was too fast, and before Mu Xiaojiu could run out two streets, he found that he was already a little unable to see clearly. In a trance, he only saw a white figure in front of him, and then fell to the ground.
Qianli Mohibiscus had just come in from outside the city, and was going to look for inns with open doors, but no one answered after knocking on the doors of two houses in a row. She was still thinking about finding another one, and if it didn't work, she would go out for a night in the wilderness, when she saw a figure fall in front of her.
I don't know why, she always felt that the man who fell in front of her looked very familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere.
So she stepped forward and looked at Mu Xiaojiu's face, and then she remembered that the person in front of her was the man who had saved her once on the river before, Mu Xiaojiu.
But in my impression, this person's martial arts are very good, why is it ...... today?
Before Qianli Mo Jian finished thinking about it, the pursuers behind him chased after him.
"So many people?" Qian Li Mo Jin blinked, and then took out an ordinary detoxification pill from his arms and gave it to Mu Xiaojiu. The guy was blue and the wound on his leg was not the right color, apparently poisoned. Although I don't know what poison it is, this detoxification pill made of bezoar has a relieving effect on most of the poisons, and it should be able to withstand it for a while.
Let's deal with these chasing people first.
Qian Li Mojin pulled out his long sword from his waist, and then his figure flashed, and he rushed into the crowd of pursuers. Subsequently, the countless crisp sounds of "ding ding ding" gradually became one in this night. By the time the sound fell, Qianli Mohiscus had already appeared behind these people, and the long sword in his hand had returned to the scabbard.
At this moment, the weapons in the hands of those pursuers had all fallen to the ground, and there was an extra blood mark on their wrists.
The man in black who followed closely behind happened to see this scene and exclaimed in surprise.
Qian Li Mo Hibiscus turned his back to the pursuers, facing the man in black, with a cold face, "Leave, or die." ”
The face of the man in black, which was covered by a black scarf, suddenly turned red, "This woman, this is my business with this person, it has nothing to do with you, acquaintances, you better leave quickly." Otherwise, even if your swordsmanship is exquisite, there are many of us. ”
Qianli Mojin still looked at the man in black coldly, "A group of second-rate and third-rate native chickens and dogs, plus you, a guy in the realm, dare to speak wildly?" ”
The man in black narrowed his eyes, "You're just a first-class realm." ”
"Huh, really? And what about adding me? I don't know when, Mu Xiaojiu had already stood up, "I was hit by your secret weapon and poisoned, but my strength has been greatly reduced, do you want to give it a try?" ”
A trace of jealousy finally flashed in the eyes of the man in black, "Mu Xiaojiu, your fate is big today, next time I want to see if you have such good luck." ”
After speaking, the man in black waved his hand, "Let's go!" ”
Mu Xiaojiu watched as the man in black slowly walked farther and farther away with his group of men, and it wasn't until he left his sight for a while that he finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the ground.
"Miss Reed, thank you so much this time. Unexpectedly, I was careless and almost hit the trick. Mu Xiaojiu laughed self-deprecatingly, "It's still a little not vigilant." ”
Qian Li Mo Hibiscus walked up to him and shook his head slightly, "It's nothing, are you okay?" ”
Mu Xiaojiu closed his eyes and shook his head, and when he opened them again, he found that the scene in front of him was still a little blurry, so he said with a wry smile: "It's really not good, I was forcibly used after I was poisoned before, which caused the poison to attack too quickly, if it weren't for your antidote pill, girl, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to stand up just now, let alone pretend to scare them." ”
Chili Mojin smiled, "Okay, then I'll send you to a doctor." ”
After speaking, Qian Li Mo Hibiscus directly reached out and pulled Mu Xiaojiu up, and then found a nearby medical hall and knocked on the door with a "knock knock".
"Who! This midnight let no one rest! ”
After a while, a middle-aged man's voice was heard in the room, and then the door of the medical hall was opened.
As the light shone through, the middle-aged man saw at a glance that there were two people standing at the door, one of them was dressed in white and carrying a sword in her hand, and the other young man was wearing a black coat, although he was not holding a weapon, but there was a blood stain on his leg.
Seeing this, how could this middle-aged man not know that these two people in front of him were martial arts people? Although he was displeased, he still said patiently: "Two, is there something wrong?" ”
Mu Xiaojiu looked at the middle-aged man who was knowingly asking, couldn't help frowning, and laboriously pulled out a sign from his waist and threw it at the feet of the middle-aged doctor, "I am a special envoy of the imperial court, an official from the second grade, you open the door quickly, I am poisoned and need to be treated." ”
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then hurriedly picked up Mu Xiaojiu's sign from the ground, and after glancing at it, he didn't dare to look more, and directly welcomed the two of them in.
"I didn't expect your official position to be quite useful." Qian Li Mo Hibiscus said jokingly while carrying Mu Xiaojiu inside.
Mu Xiaojiu said with a wry smile: "No matter how big my official is, if I don't have you today, I'm afraid that tomorrow I will also be in the corpse wilderness." By the way, speaking of which, the last time I saw you, you hadn't learned internal strength, but I didn't expect you to have internal strength this time. ”
Qian Li Mo Hibiscus nodded, "Yes, not long after the last battle on the river, I learned an internal skill, although it is just an ordinary internal skill, but no matter what, it has always made my swordsmanship go to the next level." ”
With the support of Qianli Moji, Mu Xiaojiu slowly lay down on the bed, and then asked casually while letting the middle-aged doctor check the injury: "Speaking of which, your swordsmanship is very exquisite, and it shouldn't be an ordinary swordsmanship." I don't know if I can take the liberty of asking, what kind of swordsmanship are you? ”
Qian Li Mo Hibiscus also didn't care about Mu Xiaojiu's abruptness, and replied happily: "I learned Ah Qing's Yue Nu Sword. ”
