In a room on the top floor of the inn, Xiao Muyang was sitting cross-legged, closing his eyes and concentrating. The space was very quiet, with only the sound of the wind outside coming in from time to time.
Although he has brought many supreme figures, including Qi Yun, Senior Sword God and other top figures, he still dare not let down his guard, especially in the inn at this moment. Who knows if this inn has anything to do with the Lin family?
No small possibility can be ruled out.
Time passed by little by little, and it was late at night unknowingly. In the night, some vague shadows flickered in the space, scattered in different directions, silently and well-trained.
In a room, Song Chunqiu suddenly opened his eyes, and a sharp cold light flashed across his cloudy eyes. Did he really send someone over?
The next moment, his body rose into the sky, a bang was heard, and the roof exploded, breaking the silence of the space.
This big movement caused the expressions of the figures in the dark night to suddenly change, and they all looked in one direction, and then they saw a figure with a cane appearing there, filled with a heart-stopping sword intent.
"Song Chunqiu!"
A flash of fear flashed through the eyes of those people, and their faces became ugly. Song Chunqiu was actually here. Why didn't anyone tell them?
The order they received was to test the strength around Xiao Muyang and get rid of Xiao Muyang if there was a chance. However, they did not know that Song Chunqiu was here, otherwise they would never come.
Either they were tricked, or the other party didn't know Song Chunqiu's existence.
But now was not the time to think about this. They didn't hesitate at all and immediately moved in different directions, obviously planning to leave the inn.
Song Chunqiu is here, and they can't possibly succeed. If they don't leave, they will probably lose their lives here.
"You're already here, can you still leave?"
An indifferent voice sounded in the space, and Song Chunqiu took a step forward. An extremely terrifying sword pressure descended on the world, and countless sword intentions flowed through the space, extremely lethal.
At the same time, only golden light curtains were seen condensing and forming in the void, surrounding the inn space, as if it was a world of its own, isolated from the outside world.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
Sounds came from different directions, and many figures appeared in the void, all looking at Song Chunqiu.
"That's...Sword God Song Chunqiu?!"
Some people exclaimed, with shock written all over their faces. They actually saw the Sword God with their own eyes. Are they dreaming?
"There is an assassin who wants to harm Xiao Hou, capture him immediately!" Song Chunqiu looked sharp and spat out a voice.
As soon as the voice fell, many figures were seen shooting in different directions, and powerful waves were released from all of their bodies. It was the Supreme Being beside Xiao Muyang.
Song Chunqiu stood still and did not move. He blocked the space with his sword intent, preventing those people from leaving and not being distracted from dealing with them.
In an instant, many battles broke out in the void.
At this time, two young figures came into the void. They were Xiao Muyang and Chu Qingli. Their expressions were very cold. It was easy to know without thinking that these people were sent by the Lin family.
Xiao Muyang glanced at the battle in the void and said coldly: "Don't kill them all, leave a few alive."
He wanted to take these people to the Lin family to see how Lin would explain.
At this moment, many powerful auras roared from the distance, and the formation was huge. A middle-aged figure at the head said loudly: "Protect Xiao Hou's safety, kill the assassins, and don't let any of them go!"
"Follow your orders!" Many figures replied at the same time, and then a series of powerful attacks broke out at the same time, violently bombarding the golden light curtain created by Song Chunqiu. Soon, countless cracks appeared on the light curtain, and then shattered.
Without a moment's delay, those figures immediately shot towards various battlefields.
Seeing this scene in front of him, Xiao Muyang's face was extremely cold, and he already understood everything in his heart.
Kill and silence.
"Old Yun, take down a few people alive." Xiao Muyang said loudly to the void. He must not let the other party's plan succeed.
In a battlefield, Qi Yun's figure suddenly appeared, his skinny palm grabbed a person, and countless black chains swept towards that person.
The man looked horrified and turned around to leave, but those black chains penetrated the space and wrapped around his body at extremely fast speeds, pulling him in front of Qi Yun.
Then Qi Yun disappeared together with the man, and his whereabouts were unknown.
In just a few breaths, all the fighting in the void was over and the situation was completely under control.
"Xiao Hou was frightened."
I saw a group of figures coming to Qin Xuan. The middle-aged man in black robes at the head looked at Xiao Muyang and said: "The master of the family learned that there was an assassin who wanted to harm Xiao Hou, and immediately sent us to protect him. Fortunately, Xiao Hou was fine, otherwise
We cannot return to our master."
"The battle just broke out here, and you guys came to escort us. You were really timely." Xiao Muyang sneered: "Could it be that the head of the Lin clan has the ability to predict the future?"
Hearing Xiao Muyang's words, the people around him immediately understood what happened. The Lin family sent people to assassinate Xiao Muyang. When the matter was exposed, they killed him and silenced him, not wanting to let the truth slip.
Some things can be done in private, but they cannot be made public, otherwise it will violate the rules.
After all, Xiao Muyang was a first-class marquis, and sending someone to assassinate him was a blatant challenge to the imperial power. Everyone knew about the relationship between Lin and the royal family, but Lin still couldn't make such a rebellious move, otherwise where would the royal family's face be?
The face of the middle-aged man in black robe was as calm as water, and he was not affected by Xiao Muyang's words at all.
"Xiao Hou didn't know something. As soon as the family master learned that you were coming to Ziwei City, he sent us to escort you. He was worried that some bad people would do harm to you, but we didn't expect that they would actually take action."
"Bad guy?" Xiao Muyang's face was still cold and he said, "When I first came to Ziwei City, what bad guy would do something bad to me?"
"Now that the Lin family is getting married to Prince Hao's Mansion, there are countless people coming to Ziwei City. There must be some enemies of Xiao Hou among them. They will take this opportunity to attack Xiao Hou and put the blame on the Lin family."
"As we all know, some unpleasant things happened between Xiaohou and Lin before. If something happens to Xiaohou in Ziwei City, the world will definitely focus on Lin."
"For various reasons, the clan leader is very concerned about Xiaohou's safety and does not want anything to happen to Xiaohou in Ziwei City. Firstly, he does not want to be misunderstood by the world, and secondly, he has an explanation for the prince."
The middle-aged man in black robe spoke calmly and calmly, and every word he spoke seemed to be spoken from the bottom of his heart, making it impossible to find any flaws.
Xiao Muyang looked at the middle-aged man in black robe coldly. It was obvious that the other party had thought up his words before he came. Even if those people pointed out that they were ordered by the Lin family, with what he just said, they could still rely on the 'enemy'
on the head.
Without substantive evidence and just one-sided words, it is impossible to convict Lin.
He appeared to take control of the situation at the first opportunity to clear himself of suspicion, and also took this opportunity to express Lin's attitude so that the prince had no reason to cause trouble for Lin.
As expected of the first aristocratic family, they are indeed very capable.
"I expected to encounter trouble before I came here, but I didn't expect that someone would prepare such a generous gift for me on my first night in Ziwei City. It really surprised me."
Xiao Muyang spoke calmly, making it impossible to tell how happy and angry he was at the moment.
"With the Sword God protecting you, how can an ordinary person hurt Xiao Hou." The middle-aged man in black robe said calmly, and then looked at Song Chunqiu: "The Sword God has been cultivating deep in the mountains for many years, and his strength is still strong. It is really admirable.
.”
However, Song Chunqiu didn't even look at him and just ignored his words.
Seeing that Song Chunqiu ignored him, the middle-aged man in black robe still looked calm, as if he expected such a result.
"The matter is over. I'll leave soon. Xiao Hou, please take care of yourself." The middle-aged man in black robe said politely to Xiao Muyang, preparing to take others away.
"Wait a minute."
A voice came out, and the middle-aged man in black robe could not help but condense his expression. He looked at Xiao Muyang and asked: "What else does Xiao Hou have to do?"
Xiao Muyang said calmly: "As soon as I came to Ziwei City, those bad guys couldn't wait to take action against me. There are only two possibilities."
"Either I am my number one enemy, or I am Lin's number one enemy."
"Although they did not succeed in the assassination just now, there is no guarantee that there will not be a second or even a third round of assassination in the future. Now the enemy is in the dark and we are in the clear, and it is impossible to guard against them."
The middle-aged man in black robe frowned slightly after hearing Xiao Muyang's words. What does this kid want to do?
"This matter is not only related to my life, but also to the reputation of the Lin family. I think you will all stay here tonight. With you here to guard, I believe those bad guys will never dare to act rashly."
"After all, Ziwei City is Lin's territory."
With a harmless smile on his face, Xiao Muyang asked the middle-aged man in black robe: "What do you think?"
The middle-aged man in black robe twitched his lips and asked them to stay to protect his safety?
How could he say it?
"This..." The expressions of the people around him suddenly became more exciting, and they looked at Xiao Muyang with a hint of admiration. This guy really didn't act according to common sense.
These people from the Lin family came to take his life, but now he asked them to stay to protect his safety, which was equivalent to entrusting his life to them.
But in this case, do they dare to take action against Xiao Muyang?
Obviously don't dare.
They had just stated their position in public that they were here to protect Xiao Muyang's safety. If they attacked Xiao Muyang, wouldn't they put their own faces on the ground and step on them?
What's more, Xiao Muyang has the sword god Song Chunqiu here. If they really dare to take action, who can beat him?
Xiao Muyang also had another purpose of doing this, which was to cut off the Lin family's idea of making trouble for him again. It was impossible to send people to protect him and kill him at the same time, right?
It's impossible for Lin to do such a stupid thing.
"I can't make the decision on this matter. I need to ask the clan leader for instructions." The middle-aged man in black robe said, which was regarded as rejecting Xiao Muyang's request.
"Okay, just ask for instructions here." Xiao Muyang smiled and said: "If necessary, I can personally discuss with the Lin clan leader. I believe he will not refuse such a small request."
The middle-aged man in black robes had a dark line on his face, and he suddenly had the urge to curse.
"Awesome." Many people sighed in their hearts. Xiao Muyang blocked all escape routes with just two words. These people are destined to stay here tonight!
