"What's up?"
On the stone steps outside the courtyard gate, Dugu Wei raised his head and asked.
Yin Er, who had an anxious look on his face, watched his words, quietly glanced at the small courtyard where the aura had been blocked, and said sternly: "Murong Xiuming was ambushed. I'm afraid he has already reached the inner city at this time."
Murong Xiu Ming...
Dugu Wei's dead eyes fluctuated slightly, and he said with extreme indifference: "He should have died a long time ago."
"Uh." What Yin Er was about to say was suppressed by him. He took a half step back and asked hesitantly: "What happened to Lord Suzaku? Her karma should have no impact."
"Don't ask if you shouldn't ask." Dugu Wei gave him an extremely cold look, stood up from the steps and ordered: "Bai Hao's purpose is obvious enough. Not long ago, something happened here in Wanhua Valley. Murong Xiu Ming’s life should be fine, I want you to investigate something for me.”
Yin Er stood at attention with a solemn expression.
Dugu Wei's right hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist tightened several times, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Go and investigate and find out whether Murong Xiu Ming has sent anything here in the past few days. I want conclusive evidence, and... The fewer people who know about this, the better.”
He consciously told Yin Er that Murong Xiuming had done something extremely stupid, and that this matter was almost certainly related to Murong Jing. Yin Er felt a huge wave of emotions in his heart, but deliberately maintained a calm face and nodded in agreement.
Duguwei tilted his head and looked at him for a long time, and finally nodded slightly, without turning around and looking into the small courtyard, leaving Yin Er with a cold and decisive figure striding away with endless murderous intent.
Zhuque Inner City, Changlefang.
When Ge Shan pushed the embarrassed Murong Xiu Ming into the depths of a certain house, Xing Fei, who was wearing full armor, angrily caught up with him from behind.
"What a good thing you did!" Xing Fei glanced at Murong Xiu Ming and glared at Ge Shan.
Geshan waved his hand to stop Xiong San, who was about to come over, and said softly: "Now is not the time for you to lose your temper. Since you have received the order, go and bring the families of the military brothers into the inner city as soon as possible."
Xing Fei narrowed his eyes and gritted his teeth and said, "Do you know what you are doing?"
Geshan's eyebrows moved slightly, and he stood proudly in front of Xing Fei with his hands behind his back. He nodded and said, "I know better than any of you."
The brief encounter between the two ended up in an unhappy situation, causing those subordinates of the Guards Army who had witnessed their friendship to look at each other with a sense of the impending storm that was different from the past.
Xiong San twisted his neck awkwardly, but secretly thought in his heart: "All the brothers' families have been taken into the inner city? Isn't this a form of house arrest?"
He wanted to ask Geshan. When he raised his head and looked up, he saw someone standing there in purple robes at the end of the corridor.
He quickly pressed Murong Xiu Ming and followed Ge Shan.
"City Lord." Ge Shan nodded slightly towards Bai Hao.
Xiong San was excited. Anyway, even if he had been in the Guards in the past, this was the first time that he had been so close to the most powerful person in Suzaku City. So after Geshan revealed Bai Hao's identity, he immediately went alone. Kneeling in front of Bai Hao, he said loudly and loyally: "Your Majesty the City Lord, the new commander of the bodyguards, South Gate Guard Xiong San!"
After he finished speaking, he swept his arms across the street and knocked the person next to him to the ground with a crisp bang.
Poor Murong Xiu Ming, as the son of Hidden Valley Master Lu, but just when he raised his chin to keep up his momentum, his legs gave way and he fell in front of Bai Hao.
Bai Hao, who had always been cold and serious, looked at the scene and smiled, with a rare lively expression on his face. He looked at Xiong San and said, "You have done a good job. The future of Suzaku City needs people like you."
Ge Shan looked at Bai Hao with a look of inquiry in his eyes.
Bai Hao nodded.
Ge Shan immediately said: "Xiong San, you don't have to guard the south gate now. You are right here. Lead these two hundred brothers this afternoon to keep a good watch on these people. By the way, feed them every two hours." Qi-Breaking Pill."
Xiong San was secretly happy. Now he was really getting closer to the center of power. He stretched out his hand to grab a handful of air, but when he raised his eyebrows, he saw that this bug with an extraordinary name had turned aside. go.
"Hmph~"
Murong Xiuming was punched and kicked by Xiong three times on his knees. He was lying on his side on the ground. He was unable to stand up after being forcibly fed the elixir that blocked the flow of Qi.
But what made him feel most angry was another thing - this officer who looked uglier than a bear seemed to be specifically targeting him.
You must know that Hengyu and Li Fu not only stood well in the queue, but were also neatly dressed.
After comparing this, Murong Xiu Ming only felt that he had suffered the greatest insult in his life, so before Bai Hao turned around and left, he sneered and threatened: "You are indeed powerful, but you probably don't know that Hidden Valley is actually nothing more than A force controlled by my Murong family, if you don't let me go immediately, the five people from the hidden killing team who come by will destroy your place a hundred times!"
Bai Hao stopped and turned around, looking at Murong Xiu Ming who was on the ground as embarrassed as a dead dog with a half-smile. He didn't know what he thought of, but raised his head and sighed softly.
Murong Xiu Ming chuckled: "What? You finally realized what you were afraid of, right? Why don't we negotiate a condition? If you voluntarily submit to my Murong family, I can promise you here to let you sit on the position of the elder of Hidden Valley. Maybe you can continue Be the lord of Suzaku City."
At the corner of the corridor, the atmosphere suddenly became weird.
Xiong San's eyes widened with disbelief on his face. He thought that the funniest thing in the world was to let the city lord be the city lord. What was going on?
He couldn't understand, so he slapped Murong Xiuming on the mouth and looked at Murong Xiuming's teeth.
Murong Xiuming screamed in pain, but after a few screams he remembered again that his identity was not comparable to these ants. When he left here safely, he would have plenty of opportunities to take revenge on these people.
So he resisted the urge to glare at Xiong San fiercely and drifted towards the purple robe with the highest status in the field.
Bai Hao's voice floated down from above with a hint of regret: "There are people like you in Hidden Valley after all. That would be such a pity. If I had known better, I wouldn't have arrested you."
Murong Xiu Ming's mouth was full of pain. He really couldn't understand the meaning of Bai Hao's words for a while. He raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "You agreed? Don't worry, I think I will let you become an elder."
Heng Yu, who was being guarded in the queue, raised his head in disbelief and looked at Murong Xiu Ming on the ground. He only felt that this time he made a bet that was worthy of his life, and there was a high probability that he would lose his pants.
How could there be such a stupid person in this world? Couldn't he hear that Bai Hao was mocking him?
However, Hengyu was heartbroken, vaguely and absurdly realizing that Bai Hao was no longer a taunt.
Judging from what Murong Xiuming did not long ago, keeping Murong Xiuming in the Hidden Valley camp is probably beneficial but not harmful to the City Lord's Mansion...
Hengyu smiled bitterly in his heart. He glanced at Li Fu next to him, only to find that Li Fu had been quietly observing his surroundings with his peripheral vision. He couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart, and lowered his head again and became silent.
"I can promise to let you go back, but the conditions must be changed." Bai Hao walked up to Heng Yu and said thoughtfully.
As soon as he said this, Xiong San raised his head with surprise and was about to look for Ge Shan's figure, but suddenly remembered Ge Shan's serious warning when he met Bai Hao in his heart, and quickly glanced at Chi Chi who was nearby. Bai Hao said loudly: "Lord City Lord, our guards are only willing to die fighting to defend the city, and we don't want to be complicit in this kind of garbage!"
Bai Hao gave Xiong San a rare high look, nodded slightly to signal him to calm down, and then turned his attention to Murong Xiuming again.
Murong Xiuming stretched out his strength from nowhere, and actually turned over and started to do it. Seeing Bai Hao looking at him, with a hint of arrogance on his face, he raised his chin and said, "We can talk."
Bai Hao hummed softly, clasping his hands behind his back and facing everyone, he looked at the autumn sky outside the corridor. At this time, the sun was setting in the west and was about to fall to the ground. The heat in the air was no longer hot, and the sky was clear and the sky was bright and red.
It only lets people know what autumn loneliness is.
Bai Hao quietly gazed at the scenery for a long time, and everyone in the corridor suppressed their emotions and remained silent for a long time. He suddenly turned his head, and his empty left sleeve was floating in the air slightly because of the big movement. His whole body There was a surge of heroic spirit in his chest that could swallow up thousands of miles like a tiger. With a clang, he smoothly pulled out Xiong San's sword.
The glimmering sword light reflected everyone's frightened gazes. Only Geshan frowned slightly, probably guessing something, and took half a step back.
Bai Hao looked at the faint blood stains on the sword, and showed a rare admiration, and then said in an extremely indifferent and condescending manner: "By lending you a hand, I just told the old man Murong Yin that if I want you to live, I will give up my cultivation." Kneel down in front of the door.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the sword in his hand fell lightly towards Murong Xiu Ming.
呲呲,
The smell of blood hit his nostrils, and Murong Xiu Ming was stunned. He looked down and saw that the cut on his right wrist was smooth and had been separated from his palm. It was not until this moment that the heartbreaking pain of separation of flesh and blood hit his brain.
"So fast!" Li Fu, who had already looked at the venue, felt his heart skip a beat and quickly lowered his head.
But when Murong Xiuming opened his mouth wide and was about to let out a heart-rending shout, Ge Shan stepped closer and knocked Murong Xiuming unconscious with a strike of his knife.
He squinted at Xiong San, who had not yet reacted, and said indifferently: "Take them down to the side courtyard to the east."
Xiong San suddenly reacted and looked at Bai Hao subconsciously.
"You did a good job!" Bai Hao returned the sword and sheathed it without Xiong San seeing it clearly, and then nodded.
Xiong San was secretly happy, glad that he had not forgotten the details, and while calling his men to stop the bleeding of Murong Xiu Ming, he escorted the three of them towards the side courtyard to the east.
At this moment, at the end of the corner of the corridor, except for the smell of blood that became increasingly rich as the blood spread over the ground, it became quiet again.
After such an episode, Bai Hao walked directly across the corridor and walked to the garden pavilion outside the corridor. He turned his back to Ge Shan who was following him and said, "There have been a lot of things lately. What do you want to say most now?"
Ge Shan opened his mouth, hesitated several times, then looked directly at Bai Hao's back, and said in a sincere tone: "I don't know what the city lord's mansion can do to win."
