"What should we do? Do you want help?" Liu Ningshi asked quietly as she watched the man in black injure Long Huai in an instant, easily taking the soft sword from the woman in black.
"Don't worry about them. We have only one purpose here, to take Miss Yanran out." Tong Bo immediately stuffed the Moji pill into Monk Wushi's mouth.
"1. We must bring Miss Yanran back." After taking the medicine for a while, Monk Wu Shi woke up and murmured to himself.
"Take care of him!" Tong Bo told Liu Ningshi and moved towards Yanran who fell to the ground.
"Is it you who defeated Zuo Tianhao?" When the man in black saw Tong Bo, he slapped his palms and broke the soft sword of the woman in black. He flew up and tapped Tong Bo's eyebrows with his middle and index fingers.
"No!" Tong Bo saw that the man in black was coming quickly and fiercely, so he didn't dare to block the attack forcefully. He simply stepped on the edge of the pontoon and spun past.
"Poof!" The two fingers of the man in black brushed Tong Bo's cheek, and a delicate mask flew into the air, and Tong Bo's face suddenly transformed into a beautiful woman.
"Why is it you?" Long Huai, who had been suppressing the poison, was shocked when he saw this. It turned out that Tong Bo at this time was not the person he saw that day at all, but Mu Hanlei, the shopkeeper of Ziyanxuan.
In the stone room in the long corridor of Ziyanxuan, the real Tong Bo and Liu Ningshi did not move an inch. While recovering their physical strength, they communicated with each other about their current situation.
"Brother Xiangyun! You said you were going to save Yanran earlier. Was that your intention from the beginning?" Even though Liu Ningshi was extremely smart, she was also quite surprised when she learned that Tong Bo used Mu Hanlei to save Yanran. .
"Yes! After all, a person's power is limited, so how can he take care of all directions." Tong Bo looked satisfied after eating and drinking.
"But can Mu Hanlei be trusted? After all, she has a very close relationship with Zuo Tianhao!" Liu Ningshi shook her head. She always had a feeling of distrust towards Mu Hanlei.
"Does that girl think I can make you trust me?" When Tong Bo asked this question, there was a trace of subtle bitterness in his smile.
"Brother Xiangyun? I..." Liu Ningshi was startled, and she was speechless for a moment. She has known Tong Bo for a while. In addition to knowing that he is good at calculation and has outstanding strategies, the only thing left is that he loves money. However, as for the origin of this person, he knows nothing about it.
"Girl's hesitation proves that she doesn't trust me very much; also, she doesn't know anything about my origins or my temperament, so there is a problem if she trusts me!" Tong Bo smiled and said what Liu Ningshi was thinking at the same time. But the conversation changed: "Does the girl trust the Taifu?"
"Yes!" Liu Ningshi just responded softly, but this sound clearly revealed her mood at the moment. As one of the few people who could make her feel warm, how could she not trust Taifu.
"But I was entrusted by the Taifu to help the girl at certain times. This can be regarded as a bond between us." Tong Bo stretched out: "And Mu Hanlei is the same, I let her go Saving girl Yanran, there is naturally a bond between him and her."
"Is it a bond?" Liu Ningshi murmured a few words, then suddenly an idea flashed: "Ningshi remembers that she couldn't remember anything after the duel with the four maids. Could it be that something else happened during this period?"
"As expected, the girl is very revealing!" Tong Bo nodded and continued to ask: "I wonder if the girl has ever heard of trial marriage people?"
"Trial marriage person?" Liu Ningshi shook her head blankly. Not only did she not hear what Tong Bo said, she couldn't even understand what it meant.
"It seems that the girl doesn't know much about it!" Tong Bo shook his head helplessly: "Then there is Concubine Ning in the harem of the Holy Emperor. The girl should be familiar with her, right?"
"Concubine Ning? Brother Xiangyun, are you talking about Ning Yan?" Liu Ningshi was not only familiar with the Ning Yan mentioned by Tong Bo, but also a familiar person: "Ning Yan is Brother Shiyu's maid. After she was favored, she She was named Concubine Ning."
"Yes, the girl and Concubine Ning are indeed very close!" Tong Bo smiled: "Does the girl know that the time when the Holy Emperor favored Concubine Ning was before the wedding?"
"This can be regarded as palace etiquette!" Liu Ningshi nodded: "Before brother Shiyu's wedding, the Shang Palace Bureau will select one person from among his maids to teach various matters before and after marriage, and he will be responsible for teaching The person will be canonized as a concubine after Brother Shigure’s wedding.”
"This is the basic etiquette of the palace, but it changes when it comes to those dandy boys." Tong Bo nodded and sighed.
"Brother Xiangyun, what do you mean by this?" Liu Ningshi was even more confused by Tong Bo's words.
"Hey! Let me tell you the truth about the missing part in the girl's memory." Tong Bo said seriously.
"It was you who killed Tianhao and you deserve your fate." Just when Liu Ningshi broke out of the formation and fell into coma, Mu Hanlei, who had never made a move, suddenly attacked and stabbed Tong Bo in the back with the dagger hidden in her waist.
Tong Bo suddenly turned around and clamped the dagger between the middle and index fingers of his right hand. No matter how hard Mu Hanlei tried, the clamped dagger did not move at all.
"Why should Shopkeeper Mu be excited? Why don't you just listen to what you say next?" Tong Bo did not pursue the victory, but stared at the beauty in front of him.
"You killed Tianhao, and you and I are irreconcilable." Mu Hanlei suddenly let go and swung out the soft whip from behind. The head of the whip actually looked like it had eyes on it and pointed towards the central point on Tong Bo's back.
Tong Bo didn't even turn his head. He moved forward quickly, listening to the wind to identify the position. He curled his fingers backwards to pop out the locust stone in his left hand, swinging the soft whip away.
"Shopkeeper Mu, can you listen carefully to what I'm saying now?" Before Mu Hanlei could react, the dagger in Tong Bo's hand was already placed on her neck.
"Kill if you want, I won't let you go even if I'm a ghost." Seeing that she couldn't win, Mu Hanlei simply threw away the soft whip and closed her eyes to wait for death.
"If I wanted to take your life, I would have shown no mercy when I was dealing with the Kirigakure Thousand Illusion Sword Formation." Tong Bo slowly put down the dagger on Mu Hanlei's neck.
"Even if you don't kill me today, I will definitely seek revenge from you in the future." Mu Hanlei opened her eyes and said angrily.
"When you finish listening to what I'm saying, it's not too late to take action if you haven't changed your mind." Tong Bozhong turned the dagger with his index fingers, threw it in the opposite direction, and inserted it in front of Mu Hanlei impartially: "At that time, I will never fight back."
"Okay, then I'll listen to what you want to say?" Mu Hanlei was no longer stubborn after hearing what Tong Bo said.
"Shopkeeper Mu has a close relationship with Zuo Tianhao. You should know where he comes from, right?" Tong Bo couldn't help but smile when he saw Mu Hanlei's defenses breaking down bit by bit.
"Hidden City!" Mu Hanlei suddenly remembered what Zuo Tianhao said to her and said, "You should be from that place too."
"Since Shopkeeper Mu knows that place, he should also know that people in secret are prohibited from killing people." Tong Bo nodded slightly and continued: "Then how could I break the rules and take Zuo Tianhao's life."
"You mean Tianhao wasn't killed by you?" Mu Hanlei did hear Zuo Tianhao mention this rule in the Hidden City, and she couldn't help but wonder.
"Of course not!" Tong Bo waved his hand: "Although I have a sworn hatred with Zuo Tianhao, the way of revenge is not just killing people."
"Absolutely impossible! Tianhao was beheaded. Apart from you, who also came from the Hidden City, who else can be so capable?" Mu Hanlei saw Zuo Tianhao's death and suddenly became excited again.
"It seems that Mu Hanlei is very obsessed with Zuo Tianhao. It's better not to overly stimulate her." Tong Bo said with a bitter look on his face: "Shopkeeper Mu, please don't get excited. With Zuo Tianhao's ability, it is really difficult to fight alone." No one can kill him, but if someone uses conspiracy, it will be hard to tell!"
"Conspiracy?" After hearing what Tong Bo said, Mu Hanlei gradually calmed down: "Are you saying that someone plotted against Tianhao?"
"Shopkeeper Mu must know the name Li Wushang, right?" Tong Bo nodded: "It was this person who plotted against Zuo Tianhao when he was exhausted."
"Li Wushang, Li Wushang?" Mu Hanlei murmured to himself, and suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and shouted: "Isn't Li Wushang the number two guest in the corridor? He Why do you want to plot against Tianhao?"
"Zuo Tianhao seems to be acquainted with that Li Wushang, doesn't the girl know?" Tong Bo asked tentatively as the conversation between Zuo Tianhao and Li Wushang before his death emerged in his mind.
"Tianhao has never told me about an acquaintance!" Mu Hanlei shook his head. Tong Bo looked at her expression and said to himself: "It seems that Mu Hanlei really doesn't know about the relationship between the two."
"Tong Bo, why should I trust you?" Seeing Tong Bo silent, Mu Hanlei pressed further.
"The incision on Zuo Tianhao's neck was neat and made overnight. It was caused by Li Wushang's unique skill, the Traceless Sword." Tong Bo analyzed.
"Hmph! I have the right to trust you!" After listening to Tong Bo's words, Mu Hanlei's original understanding gradually wavered: "I will find out the cause of Tianhao's death. Before that, please go to the guest room on the third floor of the corridor to stay. .”
"Forget it! To show my sincerity, I accept what Shopkeeper Mu said." After Tong Bo finished speaking, he suddenly bowed to Mu Hanlei and said, "There is one more thing, I don't know if I should talk about it or not."
"Speak!" Mu Hanlei had no expression on her face and nodded slightly.
"Why is Mu Zhanglu so devoted to people like Zuo Tianhao?" Tong Bo said seriously: "Do you know what kind of person he is and what kind of things he is doing?"
"No matter what kind of person Tianhao is or what he is doing, I only know that he was the only one who extended a helping hand to me when I was most in danger and helpless." Mu Hanlei said emotionally. , my mind seems to have returned to that snowy night of disaster.
It was a snowy New Year's Eve night. Every household had closed its doors early, enjoying this moment of reunion. The city was almost deserted, except for a woman in rags with a face covered in mud huddled in the corner of the street.
"Hey! It's already this time, and there are still people on the street?" A few disheveled beggars were walking staggeringly on the street with their arms around each other. They had obviously drunk too much.
"What's weird about this? Aren't our brothers here?" One of the beggars glanced at the mud woman and said, "Since we bumped into her, let's go have a drink with our brothers."
"Yes, yes! We are all of the same kind, and we should always help each other." Another beggar went straight to the muddy woman and stretched out his hand to pull her away.
"Don't, don't touch me." The moment the beggar's palm touched the muddy woman, she struggled desperately as if she was electrocuted.
"Huh? It's actually a woman?" The beggar who reached out to pull someone was stunned, and then he became excited: "Hahaha! Brothers, there is actually a woman here. Have we found a treasure?"
"Women?" Several other beggars also rushed forward excitedly: "Hahaha! It seems that God is really good to us!"
"What, what do you want to do?" The mud girl shouted with a look of horror when she saw several beggars surrounding her.
"What do we want to do?" The beggars were like wolves at this moment: "On this New Year's Eve, there is wine and meat, and now a woman comes to our door. What do you think we want to do?"
"No, no! Help!" The mud woman struggled desperately under the tug of several beggars.
"Pa!" The shout aroused the anger of the beggars, and one of the beggars slapped the muddy woman hard.
The moment the muddy woman who was shouting for help was hit, she suddenly fell to the ground, and the defense in her heart collapsed instantly, with distressing tears in the corners of her eyes.
"Hmph! If it had been like this, I wouldn't have suffered so much." Seeing the muddy woman giving up the pit, several beggars surrounded her with smiles.
