266. Chapter 266 So many killers can't kill a Shangguan
"Then tell me, who is the mysterious man who suddenly appeared in the inn to save me?"
Thinking that the man's fingertips were still bleeding, she felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
Mo Liuxi just curled her lips lightly and said, "Perhaps it's someone who has a deep affection for the empress."
What he said seemed like a joke, but Shangguan Yu's eyes flashed with confusion for a moment, and something strange flashed in his heart.
But she didn't think too much about Mo Liuxi's words, so she glanced at him angrily and said, "You are the only one with a particularly rich imagination."
After saying these words, she walked around Mo Liuxi and walked in front of him.
The strange feeling in her heart did not disappear. She frowned quietly and pursed her thin lips.
Who is the mysterious man who rescued her, and what is his relationship with her?
Her heart was at a loss, and she still couldn't figure it out.
Hejin County——
In a luxurious manor, there are green trees and the fragrance of flowers everywhere.
At this time, an old man in his seventies was lying lazily on the recliner with his eyes half-closed, playing with two dark green Persian beads with both hands.
In front of him, a man in green clothes came up, lowered his head, cupped his hands and said: "Master."
"Um."
On the face with half-lidded eyes, there was a lazy reply, but the eyelids did not open, "How is it?"
Seeing the man in green frowning, slightly annoyed, he said, "All the killers sent were killed."
"oh?"
The old man's voice was not loud, and there was no hint of anger. He just responded in an understatement. At this moment, his eyes gently opened and he looked at the man in green.
"With so many killers, they can't kill even one Shangguan Yu?"
The old man's tone of speech was still calm, and there was no hint of displeasure, but it made the man in green shudder subconsciously.
"Owner......"
The man in green frowned again and continued: "We had already succeeded, but a mysterious man suddenly appeared in the middle and killed them all."
"Mysterious man?"
The old man's eyes narrowed again with some thoughtfulness. After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "Do you know who that person is?"
"This...is still unclear."
"What a bunch of losers. You can't even kill a girl."
There was a little more anger in the old man's tone, which frightened the man in green and hurriedly knelt down.
"Master, calm down."
"Forget it, you go down first and wait until Shangguan Yu comes to Hejin County."
"Yes, Master."
The man in green sweated, stood up, and was about to leave, but saw him stop again and said:
"Master, on our way to kill Shangguan Yu, we found that there are still a group of people staring at Shangguan Yu, and their purpose seems to be the same as ours."
"Is there another group of people?"
There was a trace of interest in the old man's eyes, but he did not continue speaking. He just waved his hand and asked the man in green to retreat.
After the man in green clothes left, the old man's lazy eyes took on an unfathomable flavor: "Shangguancheng's daughter seems to be quite capable."
On the other side, Shangguan Yu and his party of three drove non-stop and finally arrived in Hejin County three days later.
"Mother, please come inside."
The government officials responsible for sending the old man back to Jin County were already waiting at the place they had agreed upon.
