"Mother, why did you suddenly have this idea again?"

"Okay, okay, mother, don't talk about this."

Knowing that Xiao Zizhu's skin is relatively thin, Mrs. Xiao didn't take advantage of the victory to chase after her. Instead, she rolled her eyes and talked about other things.

"When you and Li Mu were together, you must have not held a proper wedding?"

"The matter of the death of the dead has not been resolved, is it time for the wedding!"

Xiao Zizhu couldn't help putting his hands on his forehead.

The wedding must not be held, if it is really going to be held, those three junior sisters will not fight with their lives when they go back.

"It's not that your father has been talking about it all the time, saying that he will hold a good wedding for you, so that the entire Floating Water City will know that you are back and married."

Mrs. Xiao also seemed a little excited when she said this. She didn't have much real sense of her daughter's identity as the Dragon Goddess, but she wanted the whole world to know that her daughter was married.

In this way, my daughter can be blessed by the whole world.

"Then...it's over, let's have a wedding to celebrate?"

"Let's talk about it when it's over."

He didn't agree, nor refused, after all, he didn't want to see the disappointed expression on his mother's face.

They trust themselves so much and let themselves go out with Master, and now they have cooked rice with Master, which feels a bit unkind.

And there are eight elders, don't ask the secret...

I have to say that a woman's sixth sense is a very magical thing, Xiao Zizhu has already felt it instinctively, and Mo Wentianji may be his biggest enemy in the future.

"Husband... I shouldn't have come back, I'm so scared, I'm afraid they will find out what I look like when I leave again."

"That's why we need to bid farewell. What is the meaning of saying goodbye? Have you forgotten?"

"But this farewell...how can I say it. Mother hopes that we can have a son this morning, and father is busy, and even wants to arrange a wedding for us, but...but all this is false, everything is false Fake."

Xiao Zizhu didn't make good use of her identity as the Dragon Goddess. She could obviously act inhumanely, creating a sense of distance between herself and her mother.

After sending off his mother, Xiao Zizhu returned to Li Mu in silence.

"What's the matter, what did my mother-in-law say to you, which made your face so ugly."

Because meeting is easy, but when we separate...

The pain in the world is nothing more than love and parting, and you can't ask for it. Even those who are cultivators are also powerless.

Probably only time can slowly smooth all this out.

Li Mu didn't say anything, but hugged the girl silently, expressing his support and comfort in this way.

In fact, he didn't have any good advice for the other party, because he himself was a coward.

When he went down the mountain, he didn't dare to go back to see his parents and relatives, but just observed secretly from a distance.

Xiao Zizhu nodded slightly, and then put this matter behind her mind, there are more important things to do right now.

"Master, you haven't told me yet, why don't we go on patrol with those casual practitioners tonight?"

"There are already too many people, even if we go, it doesn't make any sense, and if we go, everything must be normal. It's better to stay in the Xiao Mansion and wait for the news, and at the same time, we can ensure the safety of the Xiao Mansion."

"I'm sorry, Master... I made you laugh."

"It's human nature, there's nothing to be embarrassed about. We still have a lot of time, so don't rush too much."

"kindness……"

"And I don't think the mastermind behind the scenes should not know the two of us. They must be having a headache now."

The leader of Wansheng Xianmeng, and the saint of Yaori Xianzong, there are two unexpected pieces on this game of chess, so what will you do next?

As night fell, Floating Water City, which was bustling during the day, gradually quieted down.

When Li Mu said this, Xiao Zizhu's expression also became awe-inspiring.

Now that the enemy is in the dark and they are in the open, no one knows what kind of methods the people behind the scenes will use.

If the other party took advantage of them to leave and attack Xiao's mansion, then Xiao Zizhu would really regret it.

Because even a fairy can hardly stop the victim from continuing to be born.

But now, the Dragon Goddess is here, maybe things will turn around, at least many people see hope.

At the same time, at the East City Gate, Ren Qiusheng had already led a group of scattered cultivators to gather.

The original Floating Water City had a lively night market even at night, but with the frequent occurrence of murders in the city, the royal family also imposed a curfew and strengthened night patrols.

I thought it was someone committing crimes, but as time went by, the patrols of ordinary soldiers had no effect, and the idea of ​​ghosts taking their lives became more and more popular.

Even if the patrol team turned into immortals later, the residents in the capital still couldn't feel at ease.

"I have to trouble the general to arrange the patrol route."

"It's natural, immortals, please wait."

The general nodded, and the patrol team and route were soon arranged.

Usually there are more than ten or 20 casual cultivators patrolling at night, and they rotate every three days, but there are more than 50 casual cultivators dispatched tonight, and even Ren Qiusheng personally leads the patrol.

The general in charge of public security in the city greeted him and spoke with great respect.

"With Ren Jianxian personally leading the team, it must be another Christmas Eve in the capital tonight."

Each team consisted of five loose cultivators and ten soldiers, covering all major and large roads throughout the capital.

In addition to this, there is also a separate team of patrolling soldiers. This kind of battle does not mean that the entire capital is under control, but it can also be said that they will not miss any trouble.

Chapter 219 The Worst Case

Well-trained soldiers held torches and walked in the forefront, while five casual cultivators followed behind them.

The night was dark, and the patrols had been going on for quite a while. The capital city looked quiet under the night, and there seemed to be nothing unusual about it.

Although the murderer behind the scenes is very likely to commit crimes again in the next few days, the mood of most casual cultivators is actually quite relaxed.

Some things are beyond their control, and they can only say that they do their best.

At the beginning of the patrol, a small number of casual practitioners were still very nervous. They remembered what Ma Buping said before, and they always felt that this time the target of the people behind the scenes might be on them, the casual practitioners.

That was contacted by Ren Jianxian in person, could it be that Ren Jianxian would deceive them?

Since nothing happened to the single casual cultivators, it would be even more impossible for the people behind the scenes to attack their group.

However, after inspecting the entire capital city, they also slowly relaxed.

Perhaps, they were thinking too much. Did all the fifteen casual cultivators who left obviously have any accidents?

Many casual cultivators are full of confidence and are extremely optimistic. They feel that they have almost figured out the tricks of the mastermind behind the scenes, and they are only one step away from catching this guy.

Ma Buping, Hua Niangzi, and Wang Zheng were also on patrol.

There are a total of 50 casual cultivators participating in the patrol tonight, and if you count the soldiers, there are almost two to three hundred people. No matter where emergencies occur, they can respond at any time.

If the black hand behind the scenes dared to show up, he would definitely let him go and never return!

Not long after walking, the three of them encountered another patrolling team, which was already the fourth team they encountered.

The casual cultivator who followed the team was a die-hard supporter of Ren Qiusheng, and his attitude was not very good when he saw the three traitors who left midway.

Because they felt a little embarrassed, the three of them didn't really want to meet their former companions.

But because there are patrols everywhere in the city, they can't avoid this kind of thing even if they want to.

The three of them just turned a deaf ear to these sarcasms.

These casual cultivators were relaxed, but the three of them couldn't relax. Li Mu's words were still in their ears.

"Why, you are also patrolling, I thought you were too scared to go out."

"Why didn't you see that Dragon Goddess patrolling with you? Without her, who will protect you if something goes wrong?"

After all, there is not so much deep hatred between each other, it is nothing more than different choices.

The two teams passed each other, heading in different directions.

For the sake of their own lives, the three of them have always been very vigilant and watched every move around them, in order to be able to notify Li Mu as soon as something really happened to come to save his life.

On the other side, seeing that Ma Buping didn't respond to the ridicule, several casual cultivators gradually lost interest.

Of course, the same goes for myself.

But the difference is that I am cautious enough.

Seeing the opponent's team completely submerged in the darkness, Ma Buping also shook his head.

It's just a group of rookies in the Qi refining period, and I don't know where they got such courage.

For that adult, he is full of confidence.

The night passed quickly, and the members of the patrol team breathed a sigh of relief as the eastern sky gradually turned pale.

And being cautious is the real secret of casual cultivators being able to live a nourishing life.

Looking down at the jade slip held in his palm, Ma Buping felt a sense of security in his heart.

The same was true the previous few times, nothing seemed to happen all night, and the patrol found nothing.

However, they didn't know until after dawn that another family was silently wiped out last night.

Last night was another peaceful night.

Of course, it just seemed to be safe, and no one knew if something happened.

Wang Zheng scratched his head and seemed a little puzzled.

When he left before, Wang Zheng still felt a little guilty in his heart, but the night passed without any danger at all.

On the other side, Ma Buping and the others also breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the night passed safely.

"Didn't the lord say something might happen tonight, but nothing happened?"

Ma Buping said so, and Wang Zheng also realized that he seemed to be thinking too much.

I have to say that Li Mu's appearance before gave people the feeling that it was too mysterious.

The fright that night was completely frightening myself.

"You also know that it is possible. In fact, everyone knows that there is a high probability that something will happen tonight. After all, according to the previous practice, the possibility of the murderer making a move in these five days is very high."

After Ma Buping finished speaking, he looked towards the city gate, and the rest of the patrol team also began to assemble.

The gazes of Hua Niangzi and Wang Zheng followed Ma Buping, and then the former asked.

Although he didn't explain anything clearly, it seemed as if he knew everything and everything was under his control.

"Besides, we can't be completely sure that nothing happened right now. You have to know that someone died at home several times before, or after a few days."

Ma Buping said so, the three of them are attached to Li Mu, and they have to show a little bit of their own value.

He couldn't do anything well, so he knew how to ask what to do next, wishing he could simply hide in Xiao's mansion every day, who would like a subordinate like this.

"What should we do now, go back and report to that lord?"

"There is nothing to return to. My lord told us to patrol and look for abnormal places. The latter is the key. Wait a little longer and see if anyone was killed last night."

Ma Buping said so, and walked towards the gate of the city with his two companions.

What the three of them can do is still somewhat limited. If they want to obtain the information in the city to the greatest extent, they still have to rely on these city guards and other casual practitioners.

Not to mention any key discoveries, at least you can't act too cowardly.

"Come on, let's also go to the city gate to see if there is any news."

Get a little closer, and after listening to some of the content, the Mabuping people know what they are arguing about.

It turned out that there was a patrol team that hadn't come back until now, and the leader of that patrol team was Ren Qiusheng, who was the leader of casual cultivators.

They also did this to solve the affairs in the capital, and it has nothing to do with who they follow.

When they came to the gate of the city, the gathered patrol team was discussing something intensely, and many people had sad expressions on their faces.

The team of more than 20 people just disappeared without any reason, and disappeared under the eyes of the other nine patrol teams.

This is simply not normal.

In addition to Ren Qiusheng, there are four other casual cultivators who are all at the foundation establishment stage. It can be said that this team led by Ren Qiusheng is the strongest among their casual cultivators.
