In the Yangdu Inn, Taoer was sitting in front of the table in a daze with her hands on her cheeks. She didn't even notice that a figure behind her was approaching. It wasn't until the latter's palm rested on his shoulder that he suddenly came back to his senses.
"Li'er, why are you so sneaky? You scared me!" Tao'er feigned anger.
"What's more, I called you as soon as I walked in the door. It was obviously you who was lost in thought..." Li'er chuckled, and then joked: "Could it be that Tao'er is attracted to some girl?"
Tao'er rolled her eyes at Li'er: "What's more, I don't know who talks about the father-in-law in his sleep every night...well..."
Before Tao'er finished speaking, Li'er covered her mouth and said angrily: "Tao'er! Don't talk nonsense! I'm asking for a beating!"
Then, the two of them laughed and made a lot of noise. But the waiter guarding the almost empty shop was leaning against his door downstairs, his face pale.
"No more trouble, no more trouble..." Li'er stopped and became serious: "Tao'er, why did you come back so early today? But there has been progress in the investigation?"
Tao'er opened her mouth, then shrugged: "Is there any need to say it? What about you, Li'er?"
Li'er also looked disappointed: "We have already wasted too much time here, and there is no point in staying any longer... Although our Moon Viewing Altar should not have anything to do with other sects, things have reached this point, but It has to be like this again... So, Tao'er, you go to bed early, and we'll leave early tomorrow morning."
"Ah?" Tao'er was surprised, "Li'er, can we leave later..."
"Why, are you reluctant to let go? Or is there something you can't let go of?" Li'er said with a wicked smile.
"I hate you! I'm ignoring you!" Tao'er stamped her feet, kicked off her shoes, and sulked on the bed.
Seeing Tao'er lying down, Li'er extinguished the candle and fell asleep with her pillow beside her.
It was late at night, and Tao'er's snoring suddenly stopped. Then a figure sneakily got up and picked up his clothes. Then he picked up his boots and carefully opened the door to a crack. After making sure that no one noticed, she again He quietly closed the door and went downstairs.
Ever since she heard the news that Zhao Changsheng was with the city lord, Tao'er couldn't even feel at ease. Originally, she planned to go back and discuss with Li'er before investigating, but when she was about to speak, she suddenly regretted it.
During the day, she went to the city lord's palace for a week and found that there were not only threats from behind, but it was also heavily guarded on the surface, so she didn't want Li'er to be in danger with her because of her own fault.
Just when Tao'er was about to put on her boots and leave, she suddenly shrank her toes and couldn't help but let out an exclamation.
She looked back and saw that no one was watching, so she swung her boots and poured out the contents, and then scolded in a low voice: "Suo'er, what are you doing here, you little bastard? Come back!"
For safety reasons, before leaving the Moon Viewing Altar, Xing'er asked the two of them to take three five-color pythons with them. But since arriving in Yangdu, the two of them have never had any use for them, so they left them in the room.
Because Suo'er was the closest to Tao'er, Suo'er noticed it as soon as the latter woke up and sneaked into Tao'er's boots...
Suo'er had been depressed for several days. After finally seeing the light of day, he was still obedient. He instantly transformed into a little black dog, stuck out his tongue and went out to have fun.
Tao'er suddenly felt a headache and grabbed the back of Suo'er's neck, saying fiercely: "I'm going to do business this time! I can take you there, but you can't cause trouble for me!"
Upon being scolded, Suo'er's red tongue shrank nervously, and then it quickly turned into a colorful "loach" and shrank into Tao'er's sleeve...
…
"Tap tap tap..." A line of black-armored soldiers patrolled past the road, walking as neatly as if they were walking alone.
As soon as this row of soldiers disappeared at the end of the road, they saw a black shadow falling from the sky and walking towards the building in front.
"I didn't expect that this place is quite big. If it weren't for the careful explanation from Tsuen Quan, I would have wasted a lot of time on the road." Tao'er murmured to herself as she walked, "This should be the residence of the city lord she mentioned. Alright..."
Arriving at the door, Tao'er took a deep breath, muttered "offended" to herself, then opened the door and barged in.
"Lord City Lord, I'm here to ask you about someone! I hope you'll be obedient and don't make any noise!" Tao'er had been arranging these words in her mind for a long time, and as soon as she entered the house, she spoke directly.
"..." But what he responded to was a silent voice.
"Huh? The quality of this city lord's sleep is really enviable. Even someone breaking into the house didn't wake him up?"
Seeing that there was no movement on the bulge of the quilt behind the gauze curtain, Tao'er coughed a few times and continued: "Ahem, don't worry, Lord City Lord, as long as you answer my questions obediently, I promise that I won't hurt your life. !”
"..." The man in front of him still didn't respond at all.
"Strange..." Tao'er frowned and walked lightly to the bed in the room. But when she opened the gauze curtain and looked inside, she found that it was empty, and there was not even half a human figure anywhere.
She put her palms on the bed and felt that there was still warmth on them, proving that someone was indeed there just now.
While Tao'er was wondering, she suddenly felt the same sense of crisis she had during the day. She turned her head subconsciously, and then felt a sharp edge brushing past her cheek.
In just a short moment, a layer of white sweat formed on Tao'er's body. She hurriedly pulled off the veil in front of her and threw it behind her. Then she held the bed with one hand and hid at the other end.
The moonlight outside the window was extremely bright, and it looked like the light of a lake rippling when it fell on the ground, but Tao'er could not think of admiring the beautiful scenery. Her attention had been completely attracted by the black shadow in front of the window.
"You...who are you?" Tao'er held the sword in front of her. She had no idea when this person appeared behind her.
"Appeared in my room in the middle of the night..." The black figure said calmly: "Is it me who's asking you this?"
Tao'er heard that the dark figure was not as old as she thought, and asked a little suspiciously: "Are you the city lord?"
Heiying was silent for a moment, but did not directly answer Tao'er's question: "Inform yourself before asking questions. This is etiquette and a rule."
Naturally, Tao'er would not reveal her identity. She frowned and thought for a moment, then said to herself, "Could it be that I'm looking for the wrong place? This is not the residence of the city lord?"
"You're not wrong." This time the black shadow answered clearly.
"So...you are the city lord?" Tao'er said with a tangled expression, "I ask you, do you know..."
"Inform yourself before asking questions. This is etiquette, and it's also a rule!" Before Tao'er could finish speaking, the shadow interrupted again.
"Damn it!" Tao'er really couldn't figure out the details of this person, but seeing that this person was inexperienced, she couldn't get any clues even if she thought about it, so she had no choice but to give up: "Humph! If you don't want to answer, forget it, leave!"
After saying that, she was about to climb out of the window behind her and leave.
"Is this City Lord's Mansion a place where you can come and leave whenever you want?" The black shadow noticed Tao'er's thoughts. He flipped his palm and shot out two rays of light, which were nailed to Tao'er's feet.
"I'm just here to ask about things. I didn't want to cause trouble! Do you think I'm afraid of you?" Tao'er's face turned cold, and she saw the moonlight on the ground rising and falling, coating her hands with a layer of cold light. Silver light.
"Finally I couldn't help it...are you going to expose your original purpose?" Black Shadow sneered, "Okay...let me see what you are capable of?"
"You asked for this!" Tao'er just wanted to fight quickly and escape, so she directly danced the bright sword energy like a half moon and slashed at the black shadow in front of her.
As the attack got closer and closer, the appearance of the black shadow gradually became clearer. He was wearing plain clothes and was even brighter than the light of the sword energy.
"Well done!" Seeing the attack getting closer, the black shadow twisted his two fingers again, and then shot a black light towards Ban Yue Sword Qi.
The moment the black and white light connected, the white light was split into two in an instant, and the door and window behind him flew out with a bang, leaving only a void.
"Come here! Protect the Black Peng King!" As soon as this noise was made, a cry was heard from the left and right, and then more black shadows landed.
"King Black Roc?" Tao'er looked this man up and down, frowned and said, "You are indeed not the city lord! Where is the city lord! Hand him over quickly!"
It was Hei Yi who was called the Black Peng King. Hearing this, he sneered again: "City Lord? There has been no City Lord in Yangdu City for a long time. Since you want to see him, I will send you there right now!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Black Peng King made a move with one hand, and the black shadows he shot before actually merged together and turned into a dark feather.
"Grandma, I want to see which bastard stays up late at night and disturbs people's dreams?" Just when the Black Peng King was about to take action, a burst of yelling and cursing suddenly came from a distance.
"Huh? King Black Peng? Why are you here too?" The person who came was a burly man, but as soon as he saw the person in front of him, he quickly put on a smile, nodded and bowed.
"This is my residence. Where else could I be if I wasn't here?" King Heipeng glanced at the visitor and frowned, "Hei Xiaohua, isn't it your turn to patrol tonight? Why are you still sleeping?"
"Well...I..." Hei Xiaohua was a little sleepy just now, but she woke up after hearing the scolding from the Black Peng King, "I'm not...on patrol..."
King Heipeng glared at Hei Xiaohua: "You handle it here! And...it must be restored to the original state tomorrow morning..."
"Ah? What to do?" Hei Xiaohua was dumbfounded when she heard this. She didn't expect that she could be awakened in the middle of the night. He followed his finger and turned his head to look, and then realized the miserable situation in front of him, and exclaimed: "What... is going on? Where did this little bitch come from?"
"Um... I'm talking about Mr. Black Peng King... As the saying goes, couples fight at the end of the bed and fight at the end of the bed. Although your relationship hasn't reached the stage of husband and wife, it won't get to this point..." Hei Xiaohua Smiled.
King Hei Peng knew that nothing good could come out of Hei Xiaohua's mouth, but he never expected that it would be so outrageous. He was speechless for a while and said calmly: "She is an assassin!"
"What? Assassin! Someone is coming! There is an assassin!" Hei Xiaohua shouted again...
