C97

At night, the West Street Avenue was brightly lit and filled with the hubbub of people.

In the old wine house, a woman in a light pink dress was drinking by herself.

The white curtain that hung outside the tavern was gently lifted by a hand, and the person who spoke first was not seen as he said, "Miss Gu is in the mood."

The curtain was completely opened, and a bamboo green figure walked in.

The boss who was sneaking a peek at the beauty beside him snapped out of his daze and hurriedly stood up to greet them. "Sir, do you want to eat wine?"

The light robed man said, "Two pots of Nu'er Hong."

"Alright, please wait a moment, sir."

The light robed man walked to the opposite side of the pink-dressed woman and gently asked, "Is there anyone in this seat?"

Gu Xi raised his head and smiled gently, "Please take a seat, Master Murong."

A sword was placed on the table, and the azure-dressed man sat down across from her.

"Sir, here's your wine." The owner brought the two jars of female red wine over.

The light robed man opened the wine jar and poured himself a cup of wine, "Cold Night is out drinking alone, Miss Gu is in a good mood."

Gu Xi smiled and said: "The weather is cold, I was just drinking a little to warm my body. On the other hand, the young master of the Murong Villa also came to a small place like this to eat wine. "

Murong Yan raised his eyes to look at her, and suddenly said: "Murong Villa is located in the west side of Mu Chuan City, and the Eldest Young Master of Murong Villa is renowned throughout the world, yet, the little Young Master is completely unknown in the martial arts world, and many people don't even know his real name. "Let's forget about Qi Jing and Mu Chuan. I have never set foot in the southeast region …"

After pausing for a moment, he continued, "Miss Gu claims to be an ordinary woman who grew up in a small town at the southeastern border. Back then, she said that she had heard of this lowly one in the General Mansion. From the looks of it, this lady is definitely not as ordinary as she says she is. "

"…"

Just like that day in the General Mansion, Gu Xi did not say a word and his eyes flashed.

Murong Yan also did not press her. He changed the topic and spoke of another matter.

"With a girl's looks, anyone you meet will never forget it. However, I have sent someone to Huai Village to inform him that there has never been a beautiful woman named Gu Xi in Huai Village. I heard that a man surnamed Rong, who is called 'red-clothed beauty', has come to the southeast from time to time. "

The smile on Gu Xi's face dimmed a little, and under the warm light of the candle, her face turned cold.

The lady in red would disguise her voice, make a mask out of human skin, practice the art of shrinking bones, and have the strange ability to hide from doctors while disguised as a woman. She would often dress up as a woman and wander among the people of all walks of life, taking the lives of others without a trace, with extreme skill that the local authorities were unable to do anything to, and for a long time, the red dress had been the nightmare of everyone in the southeastern border. But a year ago, that red-clothed beauty suddenly disappeared without a trace.

The restaurant instantly became terrifyingly quiet.

The boss hid behind the pile of wine jars and stared at the two of them with wide eyes. He even unconsciously slowed down his breathing.

There was no longer a smile in the depths of Gu Xi's eyes. He asked with a smile that was not a smile: "What exactly does young master Murong want to say?"

"Miss Gu …" Murong Yan paused for a moment, and said with a slightly cold tone, "You should not call me 'Miss' anymore, you should call me Young Noble Rong instead. Young Master Rong is truly capable, but you do not know where your own brother is.

He didn't know if it was because of some words or words, but Gu Xi … Rong Xi's smirk disappeared without a trace, his face became extremely gloomy and cold, without any warning, he slammed his hand on the side of the table, causing the table to slide towards the person in front.

Murong Yan's reaction was extremely fast, he pushed the table back with his palm, and at the same time, picked up the sword.

"I heard that Young Master Mu Rong's sword art is superb. Today is the perfect day to learn it." With that said, Rong Xi's five fingers formed claws as he waved towards Su Yun.

Taking Chu Yu into consideration, Murong Yan didn't want to fight him, so he only dodged and blocked. He asked: "Do you know where Chu Yu is?"

"I won't tell you even if I know!"

"Was the abnormality on Ah Ling caused by you?"

Rong Xi laughed loudly, "So what if I am, so what if I am!"

Murong Yan's eyes turned cold, he suddenly took out his sword and turned it into an attack, welcoming the attack.

The two figures, one pink and one green, fought intensely in the small restaurant.

When the boss came back to his senses, he scrambled out of the shop and started shouting on the street.

The two people in the restaurant walked out from the inside.

West Street was already bustling with activity at night, so the commotion caused by the two of them quickly attracted the attention of the common folk.

Murong Yan was afraid that he would hurt the innocent citizens, so he led them to places with no people.

Before long, the two of them were in a desolate place with no one around.

After ten moves or so, a colorful firework suddenly exploded in the sky.

Rong Xi's movements suddenly stopped, and he raised his head to look at the location of the firework.

The hour was approaching, and that was the signal from his subordinates.

Logically speaking, he should have gone to the General Mansion to join in the assassination, but this person in front of him …

Murong Yan had naturally noticed the firework, and seeing Rong Xi's strange expression, a thought quickly flashed through his mind.

Just as he was about to ask, the woman's soft and soft voice was heard, "Forget it, I think I'll take care of you first."

Without waiting for Murong Yan to understand, Rong Xi once again attacked him, the killing intent around his body surged, his attacks was even more ruthless than before.

Even after half the hour had passed, the area inside the General Mansion was still filled with the glow of blades and the shadows of swords.

Because Xiao Jingyue wholeheartedly wanted to return to the Southwest, he had not paid too much attention to matters in the Palace.

Just like any other official's residence, other than the ordinary guards and patrolling guards, as well as a few Dark Guard s brought from the southwest, there were no other troops.

This time, the assassins were coming in large numbers, and the Dark Guard and the normal guards in the residence were unable to hold on for a long time.

Just as the people in the residence were at a disadvantage, over ten black clothed men suddenly descended from the sky, and helped the people from General Mansion to repel the assassins.

At the same time, Xiao Jingyue woke up in the secret room.

Chen Linye was overjoyed, "You finally woke up!"

Xiao Jingyue rubbed his glabella, "What happened outside? Why is it so noisy?"

At this time, there were only Xiao Jingyue and Chen Linye in the secret room. Xiao Yi went out to look for Qu Ling, Xiao Er and Xiao San were at the top to face the enemy.

Chen Linye immediately said: "Assassin, nice skill, and quite a number of people. I wonder where you got the news from the Gu and came to rob us."

Xiao Jingyue did not speak further, and jumped off the bed.

With the help of the group of black-clothed men and the fact that Xiao Jingyue had woken up and brought him into the battle, that group of assassins lost very quickly.

Upon seeing this, the few remaining assassins immediately threw out smoke bombs to escape.

Xiao San brought his men to chase after him, while the injured and injured Xiao Er stayed behind to take care of the follow-up matters.

The group of black-clothed people who had come to help quietly left after they saw that Wu Chen had settled down.

Xiao Jingyue did not ask anyone to stop them. He looked towards the direction they left and squinted his eyes.

From the style of the moves, the group of black-clothed people looked somewhat similar to the group of people they had met on the way to Miao Boundary after leaving Murong Villa that day …

Chen Linye asked: Can you see who helped you?

Xiao Jingyue retracted his gaze, did not reply, and changed the topic: "Where is Xiao?"

"…"

The door to the study instantly became eerily quiet.

Xiao Er had his back facing Xiao Jingyue and his body was practically turned into stone.

Chen Linye, who was standing beside Xiao Jingyue, immediately shook like a shuttle.

Xiao Jingyue's heart suddenly sank.

Just as he was about to speak, Chen Linye and Xiao Er suddenly knelt down towards him.
