Back at Zhuangzi, the group was in shock. Undoubtedly, the person who dared to kill someone in the street must be a master.
"Longbow, have you seen the person clearly?"
Gongou shook his head, "My boss, I can't see clearly. I can only vaguely see it, like a big black shadow."
"Dark Shadow?"
There is something so weird under the sun. Could it be that it is wearing a black robe?
Xu Mu rubbed his forehead. He could guess without even thinking that the one who had a grudge could only be the young master of the Lu family.
"Brother Mu, don't be afraid. If he dares to come, I will beat him to death." Si Hu stepped forward with a deep voice.
This sentence is not a lie. In the past, he even killed a centurion from Di.
"Chen Sheng, arrange for someone to patrol the sentry."
After thinking about it for a moment, I realized that the enemy is in darkness and we are in the clear. In addition, the wine market will be held on the first day of the month in two days. We cannot delay everything just because of worry.
"Tomorrow morning, tell the people in Zhuangzi to take the fermented wine to the cellar for distillation."
"Don't worry, boss."
…
After a rainy day, Tangjiang City received a rare few days of sunshine.
Walking out of the cellar, Xu Mu rubbed his shoulders with difficulty. He spent most of the day distilling the Drunken Heavenly Immortal in the cellar.
Fortunately, as of now, there are almost three hundred altars in total. When Chen Sheng and the others work for a while, they will probably have four hundred altars.
"Master, have a sip of tea."
The man patrolling the sentry at the moment was Zhou Zun. When he saw Xu Mu coming out, he hurriedly handed over a bowl of tea.
After drinking it in several sips, Xu Mu sat down comfortably and looked at Jiang Se in front of him.
Summer has arrived, the rain has stopped, and the weather has suddenly turned hotter. On the river bank, more and more people are already walking back and forth along the river embankment.
Three or two fishermen gathered in a group. Occasionally they caught a fat fish and cheered loudly.
"Master, the boatman has been replaced."
Xu Mu was startled, then raised his head to look, and sure enough, he found that the original old boatman was gone, replaced by a middle-aged man, covered with a bamboo hat, holding a small river boat, going back and forth on both sides of the river.
"I heard he was the eldest son of the old boatman, but I'm still a little unfamiliar with him." Zhou Zun laughed, "Earlier, he reached the middle of the river and almost capsized the boat. It scared everyone on the boat and screamed in surprise."
Xu Mu didn't find it funny. People who work hard to survive deserve to be treated well.
Not long after, the boatman left the ferry and was ferrying people to the other side again. When he noticed Xu Mu watching, he raised his head from a distance and smiled honestly.
Xu Mu also smiled back and looked at it for a while. When the river boat slowly moved away, he leaned his head down and thought about tomorrow's wine market.
According to the methods of the four major households, it should not be possible for him to go smoothly. Maybe there will be more sinister methods by then.
But if Zuitianxian wants to make a name for himself, there is no better opportunity than the wine market.
"My boss, someone fell into the river!"
His thoughts were interrupted, Xu Mu raised his head and found that just as Zhou Zun said, the perfectly good river boat had just reached the center of the river, but for some reason, it suddenly capsized.
Several women and children fell into the river, shouting loudly and loudly. More and more people on both sides of the river quickly gathered.
"Master, do you want to save me?"
"Of course we have to save him."
Xu Mu frowned, feeling that something was wrong. After hesitating for a while, he did not get off the boat. It was not out of fear, but out of caution.
I always feel that the things in front of me are not simple.
"Zhou Zun, be careful."
"Don't worry, boss."
Under Zhou Zun's oars, the four-oared boat broke through the sparkling water and rushed forward.
Xu Mu stood in front of the wooden building, paused, and suddenly stepped back in shock.
A black shadow suddenly passed through the river.
Bang——
Half of the wooden building collapsed in an instant, and the black figure emerged from the water, spat out the long sword in its mouth, and rushed towards Xu Mu.
"Bow Dog!"
Bow Dog had already heard that something was wrong. On the roof of the wooden building, he climbed up very fast, took up a long bow, and shot downward without even taking aim.
clang.
The sword swung away the arrow.
The black shadow sneered and slipped into the water again, but soon emerged from the water from another direction.
The bow dog once again nocked an arrow and forced the black shadow away. Xu Mu gritted his teeth and retreated to the side of Zhuangzi.
Zhou Zun, who was in the middle of the river, saw this scene and shouted repeatedly, rowing back quickly.
"Brother Tiger, someone wants to kill my boss!"
In Zhuangzi, Si Hu, who was eating roasted corn, was stunned when he heard this sentence. He didn't even care about his weapon and rushed forward with a roar.
Behind, a large number of people from the village also hurriedly arrived. Jiang Caiwei picked up the old hatchet and walked nervously to Xu Mu.
"Xu Lang, are you okay?"
Xu Mu took a breath and said, "Nothing."
If I had just followed him out of the boat to save others, he would have probably died on the river. Damn it, where did this person come from? He won't let you go.
In front of him, Si Hu lowered his head. After looking left and right for a few times, he suddenly jumped into the river.
Even if Xu Mu wanted to stop him, he couldn't.
…
In the river, Black Swallow felt very ashamed. Even if the young master didn't get off the boat, he was confident of going ashore to kill him.
But how could I have imagined that I would encounter such a terrible thing.
The big man who entered the river chased him for several streets. Of course, it was not that he couldn't beat him, but that he didn't want to fight.
For example, if you stabbed you with a sword, he would dare to grab your sword blade and beat it with his fist. Such life-hungry people are the most terrifying.
"Do you recognize me?"
"Of course I know, you idiot."
Black Swallow flew into a rage, flew up the river with Qinggong, turned around and struck out with a sword. As soon as the sword struck out, he was completely stunned.
The good sword that had been with me for more than eight years was shattered into pieces when the giant man behind me slapped it with both hands.
With a twitch in his mouth, Black Swallow no longer dared to fight, even if it took a lot of energy, he tried his best to do Qinggong and hurried to the other side.
…
"We fought for a while. Brother Mu, I'm not afraid of him." Si Hu, who was all wet, threw the half-broken sword onto the wooden board, as if asking for credit.
"If he hadn't been able to fly, I would have smashed his head in!"
Xu Mu understands very well what kind of monster his big brother is. It seems that Lu Zizhong really spent a lot of money this time and hired a master.
"Si Hu, are you okay?"
"I was pricked by an old mosquito. I spit on it and rubbed it. After a while, the blood dried up."
Xu Mu breathed a sigh of relief.
However, that person will definitely not give up. God knows what kind of assassination method he will use next time.
"Chen Sheng, add one more man on night duty."
"My boss, I understand."
Opposite the bank of Tangjiang River.
Hidden in an abandoned temple, Black Swallow was in shock.
When he took over this business, he was happy when he saw that it was just a small owner of a wine shop. He thought he had gained an extra fortune for no reason. But he never expected that he would encounter such a terrible thing.
Dressing up as a boatman to commit an assassination, almost succeeding——
"It's just a small wine shop owner. Not only does he have a magic archer, but he also has a giant man with natural supernatural power and a large group of guards."
