Chaos will naturally lead to chaos, and if there is chaos, the consequences are self-evident, and Sumu will directly scatter a handful of powder.
After the leader of the group came into contact with the powder, someone exclaimed: "It's poisonous!"
The powder had been scattered everywhere. These people originally held the hope of leaving here and naturally did not want to die. Therefore, those who were contaminated with the powder immediately went to find water to wash. Therefore, Su Mu directly grabbed one of them and tied his neck.
While twisting it off, he grabbed the knife and killed others.
It wasn't until many people fell down that the remaining eliminated people discovered that the powder was not poison at all, but just ordinary lime powder.
"A soldier never tires of deceit!" Su Mu grinned, "Now I have discovered why you were eliminated. It's because all of you have brain problems. It's not an exaggeration to say that you are mentally retarded idiots."
The remaining people were enraged and rushed forward with roars. This time Sumu sprinkled another handful of powder. These people didn't care at all and continued to move forward brandishing their weapons.
Su Mu clung to the wall and blocked calmly, not rushing to fight back. Soon, many people fell down screaming, because this time he really used poison.
Su Mu leaned against the wall and covered his stomach with laughter: "We have said that a war is never tiring of deceit, but you still don't use your brain."
A person from behind said angrily: "You actually used poison, it's despicable and shameless!"
Su Mu directly threw the weapon in his hand and stabbed the man in the throat, causing the man to fall to the ground.
Su Mu put away his smile and looked at the remaining people: "Cold-blooded, ruthless, despicable and shameless are the basics of becoming a Xuanbu Sashiko."
At this time, Su Mu only suffered some minor injuries and was in excellent condition. This was a serious psychological blow to the remaining people.
Su Mu moved his limbs: "Actually, at the beginning, if you had kept throwing the weapons in your hands, I would have died a long time ago, but I know you won't do that. The reason is very simple. To leave here, you must kill someone with your own hands."
, so many weapons were thrown at me, and when I died, I didn’t even know who killed me. But what you didn’t expect was that it wasn’t you who surrounded me, but that I planned to kill them all from the beginning.
you."
After saying that, Su Mu let out a strange laugh and suddenly rushed out. What followed was a chase.
The remaining eliminated people had completely lost their fighting spirit. Almost no one resisted. Some people even had no strength to hold onto their weapons. Sumu slaughtered the remaining people one by one like slaughtering animals.
When Aoki came to the fifth floor to check, what he saw was hell on earth, and Sumu was lying among the piles of corpses, eating dry food and drinking water.
Aoki looked around and said, "You have already broken my record."
Su Mu said: "I know, but I have to keep going, because if you have a sudden impulse and come to challenge me again, then my status as the top assassin will not be guaranteed."
Aoki took off his mask and said with a sad face: "Su Mu, you have killed enough people today."
Su Mu swallowed the last mouthful of dry food and fell directly on the body behind: "So, I have to sleep for a while."
Afterwards, Su Mu fell directly into a dreamy sleep.
Aoki looked at Su Mu who was sleeping like a baby, and couldn't help but tremble, because he had watched Su Mu grow up, and since the child was young, he found that his mind was different from ordinary people.
The smile seemed to be formed by the God of Death pulling the corners of his mouth with his hand. He was extremely indifferent to life. To him, killing any living creature was like drinking water.
Once upon a time, Aoki also thought about killing Su Mu, because monsters like Su Mu cannot be controlled. If one day he loses control, with his strength, he will not only threaten the entire Xuan tribe, but even the emperor.
However, since the establishment of the Xuan Department, Su Mu has been the only one who has perfectly executed every assassination mission.
This is a rare genius seen in a century, no, a monster, a monster who only wants to live in the shadows.
Qingmu on the big tree outside Rouyuan Palace came out of his memories and couldn't help but take a deep breath. He still didn't understand why Ji Chengying sent Su Mu to Rouyuan Palace as an undercover agent. Something almost happened just now.
However, Aoki was also very surprised that Su Mu could hold back.
Did Su Mu really hold back? No.
At this time, Su Mu stood on the pavilion of Rouyuan Palace, looking at the scenery in the distance, showing a happy smile.
On the ground below the pavilion was Manager Zhu who had been thrown to death.
"When you get older, you shouldn't climb so high," Su Mu muttered as he stood there, "This is great, will you fall to death?"
Su Mu turned around and left, walking into the shadows of the attic, as if he had never appeared before.
——
Manager Zhu was thrown to death. Naturally, Tang Xiaohao and Bao Meng learned about it immediately, and they rushed to the scene immediately.
This is the first time Baomeng has seen a dead person in a real sense. Although she is scared, she does not dare to step forward like ordinary women. She just keeps a distance and stands there watching, but she is thinking about another thing. Because she
She even thought about committing suicide. She was Sang Luo's person in life, and she would become a ghost following Sang Luo in death.
Tang Xiaohao stood there looking at the corpse and asked the chamberlains and maids. The answers from these people without exception were that they didn't know.
Tang Dun couldn't bear to look directly, frowning and hiding to one side. Xiao Lingdang frowned and looked at it, feeling that the appearance of Manager Zhu being thrown to death was too tragic, and his body was twisted.
Tang Xiaohao asked a short and fat chamberlain: "Does Mr. Zhu go to the top of the pavilion on weekdays?"
The short, fat butler replied: "Yes, I go every day."
Tang Xiaohao asked again: "What are you going to do?"
The pudgy chamberlain shook his head: "The younger one doesn't know."
At this time, Su Mu walked slowly over. After seeing the body, he pretended to be surprised and took a step back: "This, this..."
Tang Xiaohao looked at Su Mu and the surprised expression on his face did not connect him with the death of Manager Zhu. However, Su Mu's next words made his hair stand on end.
Su Mu sighed and said, "This is probably retribution."
It was this sentence that made Tang Xiaohao immediately suspect that he had fallen in love with Su Mu, but he did not say anything immediately. Instead, he said: "Zhongguan Su, come with me. The others will put the body away. I will go up first to see if it is necessary."
Tell the palace to send someone to investigate."
Tang Xiaohao obviously meant this to Su Mu, but Su Mu did not panic at all, but slowly followed Tang Xiaohao into the pavilion, and then went up to the top of the pavilion.
Tang Xiaohao didn't say anything to Sumu, but started searching in the pavilion, but he soon found a lot of dust falling under the wall next to him, so he squatted down and looked slowly along the location where the dust fell, and then he found a loose piece of
brick.
After Tang Xiaohao took away the brick, he found a hidden compartment inside, which contained a box filled with gold leaves.
Seeing this, Su Mu said: "It turns out that Manager Zhu has hidden a lot of private money here."
Tang Xiaohao looked at the box and said: "After the person dies, these valuable gold leaves are still there, so it's not about making money, it's just about killing people."
Su Mu immediately praised: "The Prince Consort is really smart and meticulous."
Tang Xiaohao asked with a smile: "Zhongguan Su, where were you when Manager Zhu died?"
Su Mu still didn't panic: "I went to the kitchen, but there was no one there, so I came back."
Su Mu directly answered all Tang Xiaohao's questions. In other words, he had no witnesses.
Tang Xiaohao walked up to Su Mu: "I don't know how Mr. Zhu died. Who are you? Who sent you here? I don't know, and I don't want to know. However, this matter is over here.
If someone in the original palace dies inexplicably, I will question you."
Su Mu remained calm: "I understand, little one."
Tang Xiaohao pushed the box to Su Mu: "Take it, replace this box of gold leaves with a silver dragon, and then reward it to the servants of Rouyuan Palace. You can win people's hearts, and you can also stop others from gossiping."
Su Mu took the box, knelt down and said, "Su Mu kowtows to the Prince Consort for the servants of Rouyuan Palace."
When Tang Xiaohao left, he left behind a sentence: "Congratulations to Su Zhongguan, you will be the manager of Rouyuan Palace from now on."
With his back to Tang Xiaohao and holding the box, Su Mu still knelt there with a strange smile on his face: "Little Su Mu, I will definitely serve the Prince Consort in this life!"
Tang Xiaohao did not pursue the matter, firstly because he did not know Su Mu's identity or who was standing behind Su Mu. Secondly, there was no conclusive evidence.
Based on these two points, Tang Xiaohao could not take this opportunity to drive away this threat.
The person behind the scenes carefully planned to bring Su Mu to Rouyuan Palace. They must know Su Mu, a lunatic. This guy dared to kill Manager Zhu who felt sorry for him on the first day he came here, which also shows that even if he knows how to
If you do something this extreme, the person behind it will not take it seriously.
Therefore, Tang Xiaohao could only reduce the major issue to the trivial one, and promoted Su Mu to become the leader of this group of servants. This would prevent a lunatic like Su Mu from killing someone if he gets angry again.
This lunatic would probably not attack him and Baomeng. Tang Dun and Xiao Lingdang were usually kind to others and would not become his targets.
But, who sent this madman? What is the purpose of sending him?
While Tang Xiaohao asked his servants to collect the body, he sent someone to inform the Palace of Internal Affairs, saying that Manager Zhu had slipped and fell to his death. He took this opportunity to see the attitude of the Palace of Internal Affairs. Normally, the Palace of Internal Affairs would definitely send someone to investigate. Take this
There are only two results. One is that the Chamberlain's Mansion did not send anyone, acquiescing to the fact that he slipped and fell to his death; the other is that although he sent someone, it was just a formality.
If it is the first one, then this person's background is very unusual. If it is the second one, then the people behind him will still be worried, and sending people to go through the motions is also to warn him to restrain himself in the future.
Tang Xiaohao was most afraid that Su Mu was someone sent by the Nanrong family. However, it made no sense logically now. He had become the consort and would not have real power in his hands. The Nanrong family could instead use his identity to prevent any further
Harm yourself.
Therefore, the people who will send Su Mu will only be the Ji family, that is, the royal family. And Su Mu is so unscrupulous, which shows that the people behind him can cover the sky with one hand. In the current imperial city, only two people can do this, the emperor and the queen mother.
.
However, Tang Xiaohao did not expect that Su Mu dared to act like this not because of the support of others, but because of his personality.
So, why did Ji Chengying send Su Mu? In the final analysis, it was because of Ji Chengying's suspicious character.
