Chapter 693 As soon as our tiger came, he ran away with his tail between his legs
Liu Qu's incident suddenly made the entire atmosphere in Kezhou become serious.
Huang Daochong was even more angry and sent out many people.
"King Shu doesn't know, I may be a beggar. But now, the nine-fingered legitimate son has died in my Kezhou. I, Huang Daochong, cannot absolve himself of the blame, and I vow to catch the murderer!"
Xu Mu nodded.
In fact, he understood that Lao Huang's behavior was more akin to proving his innocence, and also had some meaning in it. After all, in the eyes of outsiders, he had gone to great lengths to catch the murderer.
"Master!" At this time, a Kezhou family general came over hurriedly with his sword in hand.
"Master, of the Huang family's five tigers... there is only one tiger left."
Hearing this sentence, Huang Daochong's face turned pale. The Huang family's five tigers were the five martial arts masters he had roped in, but they never thought that they would go after the murderer and four of them would die directly.
"Who is it?"
"I don't know..."
Huang Daochong was in great pain. After saying goodbye to Xu Mu, he hurriedly walked out.
Xu Mu frowned. What was originally a good thing suddenly became dangerous. The other envoys who joined the alliance simply stayed in the Huangfu Courtyard at this time. Under the protection of the accompanying guards, they did not dare to
Feel free to go out again.
The entire Kezhou fell into a downturn.
"Brother Mu, it's getting cold." Si Hu, the only one with a big heart, wiped his nose and spoke angrily.
Xu Mu raised his head and looked at the sky. He knew in his heart that the assassin hadn't left, and it was more likely that he wanted to kill a few more envoys. The Cangzhou Demon Queen's hidden needle was executed perfectly this time.
"Si Hu, you should be more careful these days."
Si Hu turned around and laughed, "Brother Mu, if he really dares to look for me, I will beat him to death."
"No matter what, no nonsense is allowed during these days."
In the light, Si Hu was there. In the secret, Yin Hu and several martial arts masters were also guarding him. Regarding his own safety, Xu Mu was not worried.
After all, I am the chief helmsman of Thirty States. Although I don’t have Kung Fu, I have many masters who know Kung Fu.
For several days, there were no major disasters. Only an envoy from a small power insisted on going to Liuxiang to clear the palace, and was stabbed to death naked on the bed.
"King Shu, this is a master." Huang Daochong's voice was solemn, "Besides, I guess he can disguise himself. Otherwise, he would have been exposed long ago."
"At least, I, Huang Daochong, haven't seen such a master in many years."
Listening, Xu Mu was also a little silent. He didn't know much about martial arts. What he used to know best was "Chang Qiang Lao Dao Hu'er Sword" and the like. There were also many masters in Xishu. He even said,
Last year, the Wolf Arrow Baili Xiong who came to Shu specifically to assassinate... these people were all masters he had come into contact with.
"When the remaining tiger from my Huang family came back, I said that the assassin was a master of swordsmanship. He could kill people with a quick sword and kill people quickly."
"Quick sword?" Xu Mu narrowed his eyes.
Kuai Jian Mute Slave is basically a real person, someone sent by the Demon Queen.
"Don't worry, King Shu. As long as you stay in Huang Mansion during this period, unless tens of thousands of troops attack, you will be safe."
"Excuse me, Master Huang."
"By the way, King Shu, the assassination is unusual. To prevent the assassin from poisoning his food, I specially ordered people to test the food stored in the warehouse and the water from the old well before eating it."
Xu Mu was not unhappy, "This is a very good move by the Huang Family Master."
"In the past two or three days, I have wronged the King of Shu. I can only cook light food in the kitchen."
"I am also a person who has gone through hardships. When I was at the border, I almost couldn't even eat glutinous rice."
…
"This, why is this porridge again?" Si Hu muttered.
"Si Hu, you have eaten too much oil and water recently. Eat something light to clear your stomach. You will be able to eat mutton soup in two days at most." Xu Mu put down his chopsticks.
"Okay, Brother Mu."
"Brother Mu, I'm full. I'm going to take a nap. Don't bother me."
Xu Mu was startled, thinking there was something wrong with this sentence, and wanted to ask, only to find that Si Hu had already slipped out.
About ten minutes after dark.
A sneaky figure knocked out two Huang family guards and climbed out of the courtyard wall.
…
Kezhou has a favorable geographical location and extends in all directions. It has been a battleground for military strategists throughout the ages. Huang Daochong, as the leader of Kezhou, is well aware of this. While using the favorable geographical location to accumulate wealth, he has also continued to explore all directions and cooperate with several nearby forces.
Good relationship established.
As a result, in this troubled time, Kezhou's trade was extremely prosperous. Many large and small merchants in the world had their branches in Kezhou. Banks, grain stores, Qing dynasties, casinos... Of course, there were also businesses in various places.
The famous delicacies are all blooming in Kezhou.
Fengyu City, as the main city of Kezhou, is even more prosperous. Even at night, walking on the streets is still noisy and shouting.
Si Hu, who was walking on the street, took out his money bag from his crotch. After counting for a few times, he smiled with relief.
"Eat porridge every day and fade away like a bird."
First I ate eight bowls of fish soup, then went to a restaurant to cook two roast chickens, and also picked four or five skewers of candied haws on the roadside.
After eating for half an hour, Si Hu hurriedly stopped, counted the money again, and finally endured it. He turned around reluctantly and wanted to run back to the Huang Mansion.
He didn't realize that at this time, on the tile roof of the street, under the night and moonlight, a man in black robe holding a sword was looking at him hesitantly. For a moment, he didn't know whether he should take action or not.
Amid the bustle of people, he stood for a long time and thought for a long time. Until he looked at the big man, who was about to walk across the street and go home.
When he was in Cangzhou, his master said not to assassinate Xu Buyi until the last moment. Because there must be masters hiding around Xu Buyi. Even on the surface, there is another person known as the "Tiger of the Epoch"
"The reckless man.
He is still hesitating.
Now in Fengyu City and Huang Mansion, the envoys from other princes who have joined the alliance have become wary. No matter how high his martial arts skills are and how good his swordsmanship is, they do not dare to assassinate him rashly.
After all, he was unwilling to give in. Before leaving Cangzhou, he told himself that this trip would be to help his master solve his problems.
Gritting his teeth, he stood on tiptoe and swept forward along the tile roof. He could not make a move, but he only felt the sword in his hand clanking, just like his mood at the moment, which was full of unwillingness.
…
Sihu, who was half full, burped innocently.
When the wild dogs in the alleys saw him approaching, they thought it was a butcher coming to catch him, so they jumped over the wall with their tails between their legs and ran away.
"Run slower, run slower, I'm looking for a big pot to stew, one dog leg for Brother Mu, one dog leg for Xiao Gonggu, one dog leg for my wife, and one dog leg for my eldest son, Meng Huo."
Crossing his arms, Si Hu laughed loudly.
"Just like the dog man in Cangzhou, when our tiger comes, he will run away with his tail between his legs."
"Brother Mu said that when we go to Cangzhou next year, I will slap the Little Demon Queen until her face is swollen, and then I can use the sack to load the silver in the bank."
Hearing this sentence, Kuai Jian Ah Qi on the tile roof suddenly turned cold. He drew out his sword, looked up at the white moonlight above his head, and his whole body suddenly became ready to go.
