Li Xin'an grabbed the swollen red pimple on her face, and with just a light touch, her hands were covered with pus.
He took out a bottle of ointment from his arms, applied it simply, and then stood up with his sword.
Murong Bai followed closely behind, and the two chased the woman away.
In the courtyard, the only ones left were the sleeping Gao Zhengming and the half-dead disciple of Tushenglou.
It was quiet, and it seemed like no one would come again.
No one saw that the cabinet that was disguised by the two men from Tushenglou, and that imitation huanghuali wood cabinet that Li Xin'an saw through at a glance, quietly moved when the silence returned here.
…
On the roof of Pingkangfang, three people were jumping in the Chang'an night, chasing each other, but they could never catch up with the beautiful figure at the front.
This woman's lightness kung fu is truly outstanding. She seems to have no weight, floating freely in the air. This should have required huge internal strength to support it, but this woman obviously does not have it.
It can only be the mysterious method of Qinggong itself. Even Murong Bai, who is used to seeing the world's most exquisite martial arts, couldn't help but admire such Qinggong.
But what gives Li Xin'an a headache is not only the woman's far superior Qing Gong skills, but also her elusive hidden weapons.
This woman is also an expert with hidden weapons.
It's not necessarily true to say that she is elusive. Most of her hidden weapons are aimed directly at the two people's faces. She can avoid them with just a little dodge, but there are too many hidden weapons that she can't hold off.
Li Xin'an couldn't help but think of Uncle Fu, who was the top hidden weapon expert in the Blood Clothes Hall.
Uncle Fu once taught him that there are three dangers of concealed weapons, the first is poison, the second is danger, and the third is multiple.
Hidden weapons are even more powerful than swords at close range. Now the woman was only a few feet away from them, but she was tirelessly throwing darts, silver needles and other hidden weapons back. The power was naturally not low.
Li Xin'an and Li Xin'an sometimes used their swords to block. After their arms were numb from the shock of those hidden weapons, they turned to dodge. As a result, the three of them were separated by a long distance.
But what's strange about Li Xin'an is that the woman always keeps such a close and not far distance from them. Whenever Li Xin'an and the two of them rush forward, the woman will immediately float far away so that they can't catch up, but the two of them
As soon as her speed slowed down, she would also slow down slowly, as if to tease them.
The woman looked back from time to time, and then gave Li Xin'an a provocative smile.
"That's unreasonable..." Li Xin'an said angrily, "This woman is too presumptuous, Bai Mumo, don't hold back anymore, just capture her with all your strength!"
"I want to see what other trump cards this little witch has."
Murong Bai frowned and said, "Brother Li, aren't you worried about the person hiding in the dark?"
"Since he has been reluctant to take action, then we will force him to take action."
"Pretend to use a killing move and let's lure the snake out of its hole!"
Murong Bai said "hmm" and stood up high.
Like a white crane soaring into the sky, his toes clicked three times in mid-air, and each click made his body rise ten feet higher in the air without any leverage.
Murong Bai pulled out "Feng Ming" and made a sharp stroke on the scabbard. The flames instantly filled the sword body.
In mid-air, he spotted the woman moving around on the roof, and murderous intent appeared in his eyes.
Murong Bai swooped down, waving the long sword around him, and the flames he brought turned into a fire dragon, roaring and rushing towards the woman.
The woman raised her head numbly, looking at the sword move that was like a god coming down from the earth, a layer of deep despair appeared on her face.
Are Li Xin'an and Murong Bai really unable to catch up with that woman?
The answer is of course no.
There was a huge difference between the woman and the two of them. The third and second grades were as close to each other as the world. As long as Li Xin'an and Murong Bai wanted to, they could catch up with her at any time.
Maybe Li Xin'an had to put in some effort, but Murong Bai had no problem.
They had been dragging their feet and refusing to use their full strength before, just to be wary of the master of at least the second level of Tushenglou who was hiding in the dark.
Although that was just Li Xin'an's imagination, it was absolutely impossible for this woman to complete the task of assassinating Gao Zhengming with her third-level strength alone.
The patience of the Tushenglou master who has never shown up has exceeded Li Xin'an's estimation. He may have to put the disciples of Tang Qinghuai, the notorious Tushenglou master, into a life-or-death crisis before he shows up.
etc……
I seem to have forgotten something!
Li Xin'an trembled all over, feeling deep fear in his heart.
The late autumn night was extremely cold, but his back was instantly soaked with sweat.
Unsteady on his feet, he tripped over a protruding tile on the roof and almost fell off the eaves.
Li Xin'an instinctively stabilized his body, but he no longer had the intention to chase the woman.
Everything he did was based on the fact that the master hiding in the dark cared about the woman, but what if she didn't care about her at all?
Whether the woman is a disciple of Tang Qinghuai, this identity has yet to be investigated. How could I have preconceived the idea and be so reckless as to think that she was telling the truth?
Now, there is no one guarding the Gao Mansion, it is basically an empty city!
The killer's first priority is always mission priority.
It's ridiculous that I kept saying that she didn't understand killers, but at the critical moment, I became stupid!
Seeing Murong Bai's sword about to pierce the woman, Li Xin'an shouted:
"Baitou, come back!"
The ferocious fire dragon on Murong Bai's sword was about to swallow the woman's head. He was originally wondering why no one had come out to stop him.
He didn't want to just kill this woman, the clues to Tushenglou were all on him, and Brother Li seemed to be quite interested in her.
Li Xin'an's voice shocked him. Originally, he had planned to kill the woman directly and destroy her body, but Li Xin'an asked him to stop. Murong Bai still thought it would be better to stop.
Maybe it was the initial appreciation, the later gratitude, the admiration from having fought together, or maybe it was the superior and subordinate status, but Murong Bai felt for no reason that what Li Xin'an said was right and he should listen to it.
Facing Li Xin'an, he couldn't stand it at all.
Murong Bai gritted his teeth and retracted his inner strength into his body. At this moment, his sword intention had been completely unleashed, and he only needed one final kick. It would not be easy for him to use the sword at this juncture.
Murong Bai spat out a mouthful of bruised blood, and the internal force retaliated and made his body tremble, but he was not completely incapacitated.
He quickly clicked on several of his acupuncture points to stop the violent internal force in his body, and then the moment he landed on the roof, his body jumped towards the woman like an arrow from a string.
Murong Bai's speed was so fast that the woman was so shocked that she had no time to react.
Murong Bai suddenly stopped and dug his calves into the roof, lifting up the tiles one by one.
He casually slapped two pieces, and the woman threw two throwing knives, smashing the flying tiles into pieces.
But that was all she could do. Murong Bai's sword drew a perfect half-arc in the night sky, and with a blazing sword light, it stopped in front of the woman's forehead.
Only then did he have the opportunity to sort out the messy internal energy in his body.
After vomiting out two mouthfuls of blood stasis, Murong Bai breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling that he was no longer in trouble.
Seeing Li Xin'an arriving soon, Murong Bai relaxed a little.
Brother Li suddenly told himself to stop and ask him why later.
Unexpectedly, this was just a moment of relaxation, and the woman seized the opportunity.
She turned around suddenly and sent out the only three silver needles left on her body.
The silver needle sank into Li Xin'an's body, which made him unable to move again before he even said a word when he landed on the roof where the two of them were.
"you……"
"Don't move!"
It was Murong Bai who made the move, but the initiative returned to the woman's hands.
"He was poisoned. If he kills me, he will die too."
The woman smiled and took out a black pill from her arms, "This is the antidote."
"Give it to me." Murong Bai said coldly.
"It is said that the young master of the Murong family in Gusu is the most cold-hearted and inhumane. Now it seems that he is really just as the rumors say, he doesn't understand the love and care for the jade at all."
Does she know me?
Does she know Bai Mu?
The woman's words shocked both Murong Bai and Li Xin'an.
"The world only allows your Xueyi Hall to have the ability to reach the sky, but not our Tusheng Tower to have the ability to reach the earth? Doesn't it make sense... Hall Master Li?"
The woman turned around, looked at Li Xin'an who was struck by lightning, and sneered:
"Master said that you are unusual and will be a big shot in the world in the future. In my opinion, this is exaggerated."
The woman threw the black pill far away, clapped her hands, and said softly:
"Okay, this is the antidote. Master Murong, hurry up and pick it up. If you delay, Hall Master Li may not be able to save him."
Murong Bai glared at her bitterly, then sheathed his sword and went down to the roof, looking for the antidote that the woman had left behind.
Li Xin'an stared at the woman, wondering what went wrong and where the information was leaked?
Tushenglou also has spies in Huangsun Mansion?
Thinking like this, I couldn't help but feel a little distracted.
The woman just thought that Li Xin'an lost her heart and soul when she saw her, like a piece of wood, and her face couldn't help but burn.
She secretly spat, glared at Li Xin'an in shame, and turned to leave.
"Hall Master Li, I'm leaving. See you later!"
Li Xin'an opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but he was poisoned by the woman's silver needle. For a while, he could not speak. He could only watch the woman's figure disappear into the night.
Not long after, Murong Bai jumped onto the roof.
Seeing the woman disappear, Murong Bai stamped his feet in annoyance, gritted his teeth and said, "I should have touched her acupoint first!"
He walked up to Li Xin'an and looked at the absent-minded Li Xin'an. He thought he was poisonous, so he quickly pried open his mouth and poured the black pill in.
Li Xin'an came back to her senses, glared at him, and bit Murong Bai's outstretched hand.
Murong Bai grunted in pain, and unconsciously let go of his hand. The black pill that he had spent so much effort to find rolled down the cracks in the tiles again.
The two people looked at each other awkwardly.
Li Xin'an swallowed a few times and knocked it out.
"I...it's okay..."
"There's no poison on the needle, just a little anesthetic. It'll be fine after a while."
"That's it." Murong Bai murmured, and soon realized that he had been deceived again.
"Sure enough, women have the most poisonous hearts in the world." Murong Bai thought with compassion.
"By the way, Brother Li, why did you suddenly ask me to stop?"
Li Xin'an suddenly woke up and said hurriedly: "Bai Mumu, go back quickly and protect Gao Zhengming!"
"The killer of Tushenglou has escaped and was punished..."
Murong Bai's voice stopped suddenly, Li Xin'an stared into his eyes and said in a deep voice:
"Tune the tiger away from the mountain!"
Murong Bai turned around and left!
"Brother Li, I'll pick you up later."
Li Xin'an couldn't turn her head, she could only listen to Murong Bai's distant voice and said weakly:
"good."
…
Half an hour later, the anesthetic in Li Xin'an's body wore off. Dragging his numb and weak body, he reluctantly jumped off the roof and landed on the haystack of that family's house.
Li Xin'an climbed over the wall with difficulty and limped towards Gaofu.
By the time he returned to Gaofu, it was already dark.
Everyone in the Gao Mansion looked nervous. From the concierge, to the housekeeper Gao Lang, to Mrs. Gao who was crying in the lobby, everyone had a dark cloud on their face.
The cloud of fear.
Seeing Li Xin'an limping into the mansion, the servants of Gao's mansion carried him to the lobby. Seeing this, Mrs. Gao stopped her tears and swallowed harder:
"Master Li, you said you were staying by my master's side last night. Where are you going?"
Along the way from Gaofu, Li Xin'an had already been prepared, and the worst-case scenario that he expected happened.
Li Xin'an sighed: "Two thieves entered the house last night. Master Murong and I chased them out, but unexpectedly we fell into the trap of luring the tiger away from the mountain."
"Master Gao...was killed?"
Mrs. Gao shook her head, "No."
No?
Li Xin'an frowned and said, "What is your mansion?"
Butler Gao Lang interrupted and said, "Master Li, this fact is truly unspeakable."
"Is there anything you can't say?" Li Xin'an glanced at a few people suspiciously, and then asked:
"Where is Mr. Murong?"
"I'm here."
Murong Bai came in from the back hall and said solemnly: "Follow me."
