"Extra! A major murder occurred in the outer city. The city lord's palace urgently recruits capable experts to investigate. The reward is huge, a rare occurrence in a hundred years!"
"Extra number, extra number! A new investigation task has been added to the red list. The difficulty is the top level. It is limited to the top ten forces on the red list!"
Two sentences rang out one after another. One of them was said by a man wearing Huayin City guard clothes, and the other one was said by the shopkeeper of Baixiao Tower himself.
As soon as the two news came out, everyone in the hall immediately went into a panic. No one cared about the rules of keeping quiet in the hall and immediately started discussing loudly.
"Murder in the outer city? Isn't that a common occurrence? Why is the City Lord's Mansion so anxious?"
"Yes! It's just a murder case. Why does the City Lord's Mansion need to mobilize so many troops?"
"Tch! Didn't you hear it? The recruitment news from the City Lord's Palace and the investigation mission of the Red List are the same thing! How can a case that can attract such attention from both families be an ordinary murder case?"
"Ah? Is there still such a thing?"
"The difficulty is top-notch, and it is limited to the top ten forces on the red list. Tsk tsk... we are not even qualified to take a look!"
"Stop talking, if you want to find something cheap, go to the city lord's mansion and have a look. Maybe someone is blind and can get you!"
"Bah! You are blind. It will be their loss if I don't go! I don't even bother to intervene in the murder case in the outer city!"
The diners in the hall were making a lot of noise.
The disciples who came from the capital also wanted to watch, but were stopped by Qin Xiao.
"Don't forget why we came back! It's better not to cause trouble like this!" Qin Xiao lectured unceremoniously.
"Yes, Master!"
A group of disciples lowered their heads after being told this. Although they were itching unbearably, they still held it back.
After eating, under Qin Xiao's order, everyone returned to their rooms to rest.
Mu Yunyan originally wanted to go back to her room, but Qin Xiao was a little worried and hesitated for a long time, wanting to say something but couldn't.
The two of them lingered outside Mu Yunyan's room for a long time, and finally Mu Yunyan laughed.
"Brother Qin, I know what you mean...come in!" Mu Yunyan said and opened the door.
The room was pitch dark, and I couldn't see my fingers.
Qin Xiao was about to go in when he suddenly heard a subtle breathing sound and stopped immediately.
The next moment, he kicked the door panel violently.
"Bang!"
The door panel hit the back of the door hard, making a muffled sound, as if it hit something.
After doing this, Qin Xiao immediately pulled Mu Yunyan back, shouting at the same time: "Come quickly, there is an assassin!"
Soon, all the disciples from the martial arts school and the guards from Baixiao Tower arrived, and the door of the entire room was packed with water.
However, no one dared to go in, they all stayed outside.
Qin Xiao looked annoyed and threw a torch into the room.
The fire suddenly illuminated the room.
Through the door, he looked left and right, but found nothing unusual, so he rushed in with all his might.
After a while, everyone rushed in.
Lights were quickly lit in the room, illuminating every corner.
Qin Xiao came to the door and checked carefully, and soon found a black spot, the color of which was exactly the same as the mark left after the palm disappeared!
"It's that person again!" Qin Xiao whispered in Mu Yunyan's ear.
"Yeah! I think it's him too..." Mu Yunyan looked calm, as if she had expected it.
In fact, from the moment Qin Xiao discovered the assassin, she had already made a guess, most likely it was the tall, thin man in black.
Now after a little verification, it is indeed the case.
"I'll protect you tonight... let's leave tomorrow morning!" Qin Xiao quickly made a decision.
If the other party keeps pestering them, I'm afraid things won't be that simple!
The best way to deal with it is to leave as soon as possible... But it's getting late now, and walking at night is no safer than staying in an inn, and it's even more dangerous.
We can only stay one night and leave as soon as it gets dark the next day.
"Okay!" Mu Yunyan responded in one breath.
In the room, the guards and disciples of the inn searched for a long time, but found nothing except the black spot that Qin Xiao found.
There were no footprints outside the window. The assassin seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, leaving no trace.
"Sorry, sir! We can't find any assassins, so we can only help strengthen the guards."
The person in charge of the inn came to apologize helplessly.
"It's okay, this is not your problem!" Qin Xiao waved his hand and said, "Since it's okay, you can go back first."
That assassin was very powerful and was beyond their ability to watch. There was no need to embarrass the inn's guards at this time.
"Thank you!" The person in charge bowed his hands, and then led everyone out of the room.
After everyone left, only Qin Xiao and Mu Yunyan were left in the room.
They sat opposite each other, looking at each other quietly, and no one spoke.
What happened today was entirely Mu Yunyan's impromptu idea, so she blamed herself quite a bit, feeling that she was the one who caused the trouble.
But that's not what Qin Xiao was thinking about. He was thinking about what the dark mass in that room was.
After thinking about it, he suddenly said: "Yunyan, why did you look like that when we first met?"
"Ah?" Mu Yunyan was stunned for a moment, then her face turned red, and she thought for a long time before asking: "Are you asking why I am wrapped in so many strips of cloth?"
When they first met, Mu Yunyan was wrapped in a large number of white cloth strips, which looked like she was bandaging a wound.
But Qin Xiao thought about it carefully and found that it didn't seem necessary...
At that time, Mu Yunyan only broke her leg, and the only wounds in her leg that needed bandaging were bandaged.
In addition, she also turned herself into a medicine person, which can be regarded as an injury.
However, there is no need for a medicine man to wear white cloth strips all over his body, right?
Qin Xiao nodded heavily and said, "Yes. When I first saw you, I thought this was quite strange. I haven't seen any patient bandaged like this..."
"this……"
Mu Yunyan quickly fell into deep thought. After thinking for a long time, she suddenly woke up, covered her mouth, and whispered: "This...it seems that the landlord of the yard told me!"
"Ah? Landlord?" Qin Xiao was shocked and quickly asked: "Why would the house owner tell you this? Who is he? Do you know his identity?"
There were three questions in a row, but Mu Yunyan could only answer the first one.
She thought for a long time and then said slowly: "I was injured and couldn't be cured... But A Niu suddenly said that the landlord told him to wrap himself in white cloth and apply a secret elixir.
, can cure all diseases..."
"Do you believe this?" Qin Xiao couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Mu Yunyan immediately pouted aggrievedly and said: "Isn't he sick and stupid at that time..."
