Zhao Jiannan hurriedly helped Murong Zhuo up and said, "Brother Murong doesn't need to thank you, when the road is uneven, pulling out a sword to help is what my generation should do, you don't need to thank you again and again." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info so, but it made Jian Nan feel embarrassed. ”

"Okay, Murong Zhuo is Brother Jiannan, don't thank you. Murong Zhuo nodded again and again, obviously still very excited. Murong Zhuo has always been calm, and the choice he made when he was dying just now is still a little apprehensive when he thinks about it.

Zhao Jiannan smiled and said, "Brother Murong, how old should you be me, just call me Jiannan." ”

"Okay!" Murong Zhuolian nodded and said, "Actually, Brother Fool still has a reluctant request, I don't know if I should say it or not." ”

Zhao Jiannan said: "Brother Murong, please speak!"

Murong Zhuo spoke: "Can Brother Zhao and his party secretly escort us for a ride?"

Zhao Jiannan was stunned for a moment and said, "Brother Murong, aren't you afraid that we are a group of bad people?"

Murong Zhuo said: "Before, the foolish brother almost told the secret of the dragon and phoenix jade pendant, if a few of them are bad people, they will only secretly hide aside and eavesdrop, how can they kill the man in black and stop the foolish brother from talking." ”

Zhao Jiannan said: "Brother Murong treats his wife deeply and righteously, and treats his subordinates very much, for the sake of their lives, he does not hesitate to betray his ancestors, and intends to tell the family's secrets. If Jian Nan guessed correctly, Brother Murong saved their lives, and you will definitely die to apologize to your ancestors. ”

Murong Zhuo was stunned for a moment, and said movingly: "Those who know me, Jian Nan also!"

Zhao Jiannan asked, "Brother Murong, why only do we escort us secretly instead of accompanying us together?"

Murong Zhuo said: "Don't hide it from Brother Jiannan, we are already difficult to protect ourselves, but we don't know who is hiding in the shadows to attack us, if you blatantly walk with Jiannan, the foolish brother is afraid that the disaster will be transferred to Jiannan, and Jiannan will be affected." ”

Zhao Jiannan asked: "Then do you want us to help you and find out who is behind the trouble?"

"No need!" Murong Zhuo said: "Dragon and phoenix jade pendant, a hundred-year mission, everyone in the rivers and lakes covets it, how easy is it to investigate? As long as you can reach the Yang Pavilion safely this time, Brother Yu will plan the future arrangements carefully." ”

Zhao Jiannan said: "Yes, Jiannan understands. ”

Murong Zhuo suddenly asked: "Jiannan, foolish brother takes the liberty to ask, you care so much about whether the Murong family can keep this family secret, could it be that you are also a fellow believer?"

Zhao Jiannan was stunned for a moment, was silent for a moment, and responded: "The dragon and phoenix jade pendant is related to the safety of the martial arts people in the Central Plains, and those who covet the dragon and phoenix jade pendant are all delusional people who want to set off a bloody storm in the martial arts. ”

"Foolish brother understands!" Murong Zhuo smiled and nodded, the previous panic, the previous helplessness, and the previous helplessness seemed to fade at this moment. Zhao Jiannan, Xu Haotian, Bingyan and his entourage, all of them are heroic, vibrant, and radiant. Murong Zhuo suddenly felt that the pressure on his heart had been reduced a lot, and the burden on his body had relaxed a lot, the dragon and phoenix jade pendant was not only guarded by him Murong Zhuo alone, not only the responsibility of the eight major families, but also the righteous people of the rivers and lakes were everywhere.

"Brother Murong, don't worry too much, everything will fall into place. Zhao Jiannan stretched out his right hand, put it tightly on Murong Zhuo's shoulder, and gently patted him on the shoulder three times. Zhao Jiannan said solemnly in his heart: "Brother Murong, don't worry, even if Jiannan risked his life, he would definitely protect Brother Yu and his party to reach the Yang Pavilion safely." ”

Subsequently, Zhao Jiannan and his entourage said goodbye to Murong Zhuo and the others and left first. Of course, when Murong Zhuo and his party set off, Zhao Jiannan would secretly follow and protect them.

When Murong Zhuo walked back, he saw that Mo was still kneeling on the ground, and the body of the black-clothed man was already stiff.

Ah Mo said: "Palace master, Ah Mo was wronged, Ah Mo did not send someone to hunt down and kill the palace master. ”

Murong Zhuo looked at the ten black-clothed people who were staggering on the ground, and asked Ah Chong, "Ah Chong, have you carefully searched these black-clothed people?"

Ah Chong replied respectfully: "Palace Master, just when you were talking to Zhao Gongzi, Ah Chong and Ah Ran carefully inspected these black-clothed people, except for some money, they had nothing else on them that could prove their identity, and these ten faces were also unknown in the rivers and lakes. ”

Ah Ran on the side also said: "Looking at their appearance, they should be a group of killers who were paid for, although they are not organized, they should always work together." ”

"How do you say that?" Murong Zhuo also squatted down and carefully examined the people in black one by one. When he saw the black-clothed man who was the leader, there was an obvious palm print on his chest, which was the palm made by Wu Zhiyuan, the butler of Wu.

But in an inconspicuous moment, Murong Zhuo found that the man in black's chest was black and purple, and he was shocked, "Is it that the man in black has been poisoned?"

Murong Zhuo turned the man in black over, searched all over his body, and found that there was black and purple under the palm print, but there was no other place.

Murong Zhuo's heart beat faster, and he wanted to jump up to check if the next man in black also had black and purple on his body, but he understood that this thing was weird and couldn't startle the snake. So, Murong Zhuo suppressed his manic thoughts and slowly checked the condition of the other black-clothed people, but there was no black and purple.

What does this mean? This shows that the man in black who was the leader was poisoned and died. But this palm was made by Wu Zhiyuan, why did he put poison in his palm? Wu Zhiyuan had been in Yanmiao Palace for more than ten years, and Murong Zhuo did not know that he would use poison. Could it be that all this is wrong? The man in black already had black and purple on his chest, and he had already been poisoned, but it just so happened that Wu Zhiyuan made a palm print on it.

Just as Murong Zhuo was thinking, Ah Ran replied, "If the man in black is from some organization, he should have some marks on his body, or carry a token or something. But now, they can't find anything on them, and they don't look like they're organized. But the actions of several men in black are tacitly cooperative, and Ah Ran thinks that they should often act together together. ”

Murong Zhuo nodded and said, "It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, first tie up Ah Mo, and then dispose of him when he returns to the Appreciation Yang Pavilion." ”

Ah Chong said: "Palace master, Ah Mo has never liked to speak, but he is conscientious in doing things, and he respects the palace master even more. Ah Chong saw all this, how could Ah Mo send these black-clothed men to assassinate the palace master?"

Ah Ran also sighed and said, "Palace Master, the injuries on Ah Mo's body are not light. If he is really the one behind the scenes, then he is really good at pretending, this bitter trick, I'm afraid even Ah Ran has to admire. ”

Murong Zhuo looked at Ah Mo in a daze, and saw that the white gauze wrapped in his chest and arms was blood-red, his expression was painful, and his brows were always tight, but his back was very straight.

Murong Zhuo said: "Then remove the binding for him, and then dispose of it when he returns to the Appreciation Yang Pavilion." ”

Murong Zhuo and his party buried the three dead guards again. The wind is cold, the grave is lonely, the twilight is gloomy, and sorrow is shrouded.

Murong Zhuo bowed down to the graves of the three guards and said, "The three of them are all my Murong Zhuo's benefactors, how lucky Murong Zhuo is in this life, to have the allegiance of such a loyal and righteous person as you." In the next life, we will be brothers again, three heroic spirits are above, rest in peace!"

Ah Chong also said sadly: "Brother, don't worry, when you find the person behind it, Ah Chong will definitely avenge you." The three brothers have spirits under the spring, and they also bless the palace master to arrive at the Yang Pavilion safely. ”

There was a silence on the faces of the people, and then they all got on their horses in silence and went on the road again. (To be continued.) )
