"Benefactor?" Lai Yueqi couldn't believe her eyes. Even though Xiao Shizhu was really standing in front of her, she still subconsciously raised her hand and rubbed her eyes a few times.
"Long time no see." Xiao Shizhu said with a smile before she could say or do something.
"Haha, my benefactor is back." Lai Yueqi, who was a little excited, stood still, but her voice became a little trembling.
Lai Yueqi has always been grateful for the fact that Xiao Shizhu found a good home for herself and no longer had to hide around all day. This gratitude accumulated over time and turned into an inexplicable feeling. She gradually felt that as long as she could see him
Xiao Shizhu, my heart is sweet.
But Xiao Shizhu's whereabouts are always elusive. And they have not seen each other since Xiao Shizhu's last expedition. At this moment, Lai Yueqi is overjoyed to meet again after a long separation, and her little heart is pounding. But she also knows Xiao Shizhu well.
Shizhu didn't have the slightest admiration for her, he just focused on the ghost mother, so he didn't dare to move. Otherwise, she would have jumped on her and hugged her.
While she was stunned, Xiao Shizhu had already walked towards her and stood in front of her. Xiao Shizhu, who was much taller than her, looked down at her, which made her heart skip a beat and her cheeks instantly turned red.
. He quickly turned away and asked in a low voice: "My dear friend, what's going on?"
"Can you modify the bed crossbow?" Xiao Shizhu, who didn't notice the change in the other person's mood at all, blurted out. It's not that he is stupid, but that he really has no interest in Lai Yueqi.
"Bed crossbow?" A hint of curiosity and confusion appeared on Lai Yueqi's eyebrows, and she asked faintly: "What are you doing with that outdated weapon?".
"Air defense. If I encounter a demon soul that can soar in the air like the feathered people, it will be very inconvenient if I don't have anti-aircraft weapons." Xiao Shizhu shouted, and then asked: "Conventional crossbows have a long range and are powerful.
But it’s just not convenient to carry. See if you can improve it and make it more portable.”
"Hey, wouldn't it be better to use the repeating crossbow and the Five Thunder God Machine? The firing rate is fast, the range is long, and the power is not small." Lai Yueqi raised her head, looked at him suspiciously, and said slowly: "If you have
There is also a swarm of bees and fire dragons out of the water, and a bracket similar to the tiger crouching cannon can also be used for air defense. Is this better than the bed crossbow you want?"
But he secretly said to himself: "What happened to my benefactor? He has become stupid?" But then I thought about it, there are specialties in magic. Although Xiao Shizhu is a miscellaneous scholar, he is good at deception. He is good at firearms.
It's understandable to be a little confused occasionally.
"Yes, why didn't I think of that?" Xiao Shizhu, who suddenly understood, clapped his hands, raised his hands and put them on the other person's shoulders, saying: "Within ten days, make three thousand swarms of bees and one thousand fire dragons for me.
, I want someone who can defend against air attacks, please." Lai Yueqi was startled again, and her cheeks turned even redder.
After finishing speaking, Xiao Shizhu raised his right hand and shook it, then turned around and left resolutely.
"Gone again." Lai Yueqi, who was a little disappointed, whispered as she looked at his retreating figure. But she felt happy in her heart, and the sweet and fragrant taste filled her entire heart.
After nightfall, the Xiao family army was in the military camp.
Hu Hui sat behind the desk in his tent, drinking tea leisurely.
Xiao Shizhu gave him and the Ghost King the best treatment. They had the same food and clothing as Xiao Jiajun, and the housing was not bad. In addition to restricting their movements, there was no beating, scolding or corporal punishment.
After drinking tea for a while, Hu Hui gradually felt sleepy. He blew out the candle and climbed into bed in the dark to sleep.
In the second half of the night, the military camp fell into silence. Under the sometimes continuous and sometimes intermittent chirping of insects, a dark figure avoided the patrols in the camp and quietly approached Hu Hui's tent.
The dark figure stood still at the entrance of the tent, hiding in the shadows under the tent. He looked around for a moment. When he saw that no soldiers were paying attention, he gently lifted the tent curtain, ducked out of the way, and entered the tent.
middle.
The shadow tiptoed in the dark to Hu Hui's bed, squatted down gently, glanced at the soul lying on the bed, and called softly: "Master Hu.".
There was no response from the soul on the bed, only shallow breathing sounds kept coming from his mouth and nose.
Seeing that the other party didn't say anything, the black shadow called out again. After a moment of speaking, and seeing that the other party was still asleep, the black shadow slowly reached behind his waist and grasped the handle of the short knife inserted in the belt behind his waist.
.
Slowly, slowly, he slowly pulled out the dagger from the scabbard. Then slowly, slowly, he raised the dagger in his hand high, pointing the tip of the knife directly at the Adam's apple of the dark figure lying on the bed.
at.
In a flash of cold light, he raised the knife and dropped it; suddenly a blood flower splashed up in the darkness, just like an epiphyllum blooming quietly at night, it appeared and then disappeared; but what was left was only a faint smell of blood.
.
"Pa, pa, pa." At the same time, a burst of gentle applause came from the tent door behind the black shadow, and then Xiao Shizhu's voice sounded: "It seems that you Mo family are good at sneaky assassinations. I don't know about this.
I have to learn from you."
As soon as the words were spoken, the big tent in the darkness lit up. A dozen Xiao family soldiers carrying lanterns filed in, surrounding the black shadow who came to assassinate Hu Hui. The lanterns in their hands turned the tent into light
Bright as day.
Under the light of the lights, Xiao Shizhu saw the dark figure in black clothes and black robe. Most of his face was covered with black cloth, only a pair of eyes were exposed, which were full of shock.
This familiar attire reminded Xiao Shizhu of Ah Fu. He couldn't help complaining in his heart: "Why do assassins like to wear black clothes and wrap themselves up like a believer?".
After being shocked, the black figure, which should not be said to be a man in black, looked at Xiao Shizhu who was calm and composed and snorted coldly. When he turned his head and looked at the bed, he was even more shocked and speechless.
Instead of Hu Hui lying on the bed, it was Xiao Shizhu's personal bodyguard King Kong. Moreover, the short knife in his hand did not stab the opponent's neck at all, but was held by the opponent's handle with one hand. The tip of the knife was still a village away from the opponent's Adam's apple.
It is difficult to advance even half a minute further from the left and right distances.
The blood drops that spattered before all came from the palm of Vajra's hand holding the sword.
Surprise, suspicion, and confusion emerged from his heart and slowly climbed up between the brows of the man in black.
Before he could think about it, the short knife made a small cracking sound, but King Kong used his palm to break the hard blade alive. Then came a carp and jumped up from the bed, unambiguously.
Kick the opponent in the jaw.
The man in black was caught off guard and was hit. Then he raised his head and leaned back. The next second, he fell to the ground on his back. King Kong jumped off the bed and sat on the other man.
He put the broken knife in his hand to his neck.
Then, Hu Hui climbed out of the bed, patted the dust off his body, and looked at Xiao Shizhu and smiled.
"King Kong, you're lucky." Xiao Shizhu took a few steps forward, looked at the man in black who was pressed to the ground by King Kong, and said, "It's not easy to catch you. Mo Zhai planted Leng Zi in the Ghost Mother Country."
After he finished speaking, he walked forward a few steps slowly, stood next to King Kong, leaned down, and gently uncovered the black cloth on the face of the man in black. In an instant, a sullen face appeared. As the black cloth was lifted off, the man in black gradually came into view.
His eyes.
Xiao Shizhu had seen the Mo family's superb methods of inserting people many times. At this time, he was not surprised to see that the man in black was Qingmu. He just sighed secretly in his heart and said: "Qingmu, Qingmu.
, So Leng Zi is you." After experiencing too many things, Xiao Shizhu was already calm and calm about such a sudden surprise.
"After knowing that Hu Lai is also a Mohist, I guessed that Lengzi of the Mohist family might be in the Ghost Mother Army." Xiao Shizhu glanced at Qingmu, who was full of astonishment, and said to Qingmu in a slightly regretful tone: "It's just that...
Before this, I never thought that Lengzi would be you."
"How did you know about my existence?" Although there was frustration on Qingmu's face, there was no fear. Instead, he glanced at Hu Hui, then turned to look at Xiao Shizhu and asked: "He shouldn't know about my existence.
.”.
"Hu Hui really didn't know. He found out about your existence through other channels. And Mo Zhai is very cautious in doing things. Leng Zi has always only had one-way contact with him and Qin Huali. But Lao Hu told me
Two things made me think of how to arrest you." Xiao Shizhu raised his right index finger and said to him: "First, the Mo family has a rule. Even the master of the branch hall does not know the cold people the Mo family has placed in various places.
But Leng Zi must contact Mo Zhai every half month. The main content is to report the hall master's behavior, words and deeds, whether he has any objections to Mo Zhai, etc. And if Mo Zhai cannot receive Leng Zi's advice,
After contacting him, he will order the leader of the branch where Leng Zi belongs to deal with this Leng Zi as soon as possible to ensure the confidentiality of the Mo family and his personal safety. Of course, when Mo Zhai gave the order, he would not say that the target was Leng Zi.
This will make the masters of the branch have no hesitation to carry out his orders; everyone is killing each other and being kept in the dark. The most important thing is that this way, the disciples will not doubt his leadership.
From this point of view, Mo Zhai is really masterful at this aspect of insidiousness. From this, we can infer that Leng Zi and the branch master almost all work in the same place or in the same department.
In short, they are not too far apart, and maybe they are acquaintances in private. Otherwise, there is no way for the two to monitor and balance each other. Based on this theory, I also learned that Hu Laizai was once the branch leader of Shuoyue Island. Therefore,
I guess this Lengzi must be in the army."
"Second." Xiao Shizhu paused, then raised his middle finger, and said leisurely: "In order to maintain confidentiality, Lengzi was generally not allowed to take any other actions on his own except monitoring the hall master.
There are exceptions; for Leng Zi of the Mo family, this exception is that he can act on his own without receiving contact from Mo Zhai; however, in order to ensure Leng Zi's safety, there is a prerequisite for acting without permission, that is, Leng Zi faces
It is something that threatens the interests of the Mohist family, and only when there is no contact from Mo Zhai, can we act on our own. And this also invisibly overrides the control of the Lengzi, taking the initiative to benefit the interests of the Mohist family, and it is their duty to remove obstacles for Mo Zhai."
.
"Okay, enough nonsense, let's get down to business. At first, I knew the existence of Leng Zi, but didn't know who it was, which was really distressing. But I did something unintentionally, which made it impossible for you to contact Mo Zhai.
Of course it's not just you, I'm afraid many Lengzi can't contact Mo Zhai now." Xiao Shizhu put his hands behind his hands and walked around Qingmu, saying: "And Hu Hui's talent happens to be here.
He was noticed by me at that time, and he was willing to assist me. With his help, all the Mohists on Black Dragon Island were wiped out. All of this was seen by you, so he became someone to you.
The existence of harming the interests of the Mo family. In this way, everything is ready; I think Leng Zi will definitely take action on his own. So he sends reliable subordinates every day to be inseparable from Hu Hui. When he was on Black Dragon Island, Yingzhao and Hu Hui
Hui was almost there, and you had no way of making a move. You knew you couldn't defeat Yingzhao, so you had to wait for an opportunity. But being kept in the dark, I thought my plan was too ostentatious and had been exposed, so after I came back, I withdrew again.
Many soldiers guarding Hu Hui, while giving him more space for activities, secretly arranged for King Kong to follow Hu Hui secretly, waiting for the day you show up!".
