Tao Xing put down his chopsticks after eating and drinking, his eyes were still wandering over the leftovers on each plate, his expression looked as painful as if someone had cut two taels of meat: "It's rare to have a good meal, it's too wasteful not to finish it, alas I'm afraid I won't have the chance to come again in the future, alas..."

The veins on Wang Houwei's forehead twitched, and he yelled at the downstairs with a dark face: "Xiao Er, wrap up all these, and make a copy of them all and take them away!"

Tao Xing smiled until his eyes narrowed: "Very good, very good."

He took off a purse hanging from his waist and gave it to Wang Houwei. This purse was much larger than ordinary purses, bulging, and a piece protruded from the middle.

Tao Xing said: "The things you want are in here."

Wang Houwei took it carefully, holding the purse tightly in his hand, his fingers were trembling slightly.

However, in the next second he said angrily: "Is this how you keep it? How can such an important thing be hung on your waist casually! What if you lose it!"

"Don't be so loud, Mr. Wang, it's not lost. Besides, the more dangerous the place is, the safer it is. Since your general entrusted it to me and Yuluo, I will definitely protect it. You should believe it, Mr. Wang." me."

"Stop putting gold on your face, you are not the one the General trusts! If Yuluo hadn't died, this thing wouldn't..."

Wang Houwei suddenly stopped talking, his face turned blue and turned white, I don't know if it was because he was angry at Tao Xing's foolish attitude or because he regretted almost revealing the secret in the restaurant.

It just so happened that the waiter knocked on the door with the packaged food at this time: "Guest officer, the food has been packed for you."

"The speed is quite fast, thank you." Tao Xing smiled and took the food box in the second-hand store, and pointed to Wang Houwei, "I want the money from him."

"Master Wang, I'm leaving first."

After Tao Xing bid farewell, he didn't care whether Wang Houwei heard it or not, he went directly downstairs, and threw the food box away as soon as he left the gate of Honglou Pavilion.

A thin man in black came out from the darkness, Tao Xing waved to him, the man immediately stepped forward and used lightness kung fu to take Tao Xing away.

Behind him came the faint sound of fighting, as well as the sound of people screaming and running away.Tao Xing didn't look back, and grabbed the man in black's clothes tightly.

There was a sound of piercing the air approaching quickly, the man in black drew his sword to block, but unexpectedly there were more than one hidden weapon, the man in black was stabbed in the arm, his hand shook, Tao Xing and the man in black fell from the air together, and fell hard to the ground.

"How dare you fool me with falsehood!" Wang Houwei roared angrily, raised his sword and stabbed at Tao Xing.

The man in black immediately blocked the blow.

"Cough, cough." Tao Xing got up, his back hurting, but he didn't care about rubbing, and ran away.

After running for an unknown amount of time, Tao Xing was exhausted and stopped to gasp for breath. The clothes on his back were already drenched with sweat, sticking sticky to his back. His muscles ached and his whole body was exhausted.

Tao Xing gritted his teeth, not daring to delay for a moment, dragging his limp legs to move forward little by little.

"I see where else you can escape!" Wang Houwei blocked Tao Xing's way, and he threw a corpse at Tao Xing's feet.

Although the corpse was also dressed in black, it was clearly not the one who used the lightness kung fu to lead Tao Xing to escape.

Wang Houwei was cut with many long and deep blood cuts, his clothes were torn and he was very embarrassed, he wiped his face and mocked: "I didn't expect Murong Shuang to send someone to protect you secretly, he treats you so badly." Really caring."

From this point of view, I am afraid that the bodyguards he hired when he came here are more than ominous. Tao Xing took a breath and stood up, perhaps because he knew that he was going to die. Tao Xing was surprisingly calm in his heart: "You kill me Aren't you afraid you won't get what you want again?"

Wang Houwei sneered: "I know where you've been and who you've met. If you search slowly, you'll find it one day. It's better to kill you than to give something to Murong Shuang after you fall in love."

Tao Xing sighed: "It seems that you are going to kill me today."

Wang Houwei said: "If you had given me the truth earlier, you would have been fine."

Tao Xing shook his head: "Even if I give you the truth, you will still kill me. There are too many people who covet such things, and there is nothing better than a dead person to keep a secret. Since it is death anyway, of course I I can't take it easy on you."

"It's death anyway...haha!" Wang Houwei laughed suddenly, his upright face became extremely distorted, "Since you want to die so much, then I will help you!"

The next moment he was like a ghost, and he jumped in front of Tao Xing in an instant, and the sharp sword tip reflected the cold light.

"Chong--!"

The two swords collided and made a clanging sound, and another sword appeared across the sky, with such force that it blocked Wang Houwei's blow at the nick of time!

Seeing that Wang Houwei's sword tip was about to pierce Tao Xing's neck half a minute ahead, Murong Shuang turned his wrist and picked it hard, Wang Houwei's arm went numb, the sword came out, spun a few times in the air, and fell to the ground.

Murong Shuang blocked Tao Xing from behind: "Don't be afraid, I will protect you."

There was no change on Tao Xing's face, and he said softly, "Yes."

Wang Houwei took a step forward, and a group of black-clothed men appeared around him, standing in a circle to surround Wang Houwei, all pointing their cold swords at Wang Houwei.

Murong Shuang gave an order: "Kill!"

The man in black moved nimbly and cooperated tacitly. Wang Houwei pulled out a dagger from his boots to resist, but he had spent a lot of effort to deal with the bodyguards hired by Tao Xing and the guards secretly sent by Murong Shuang to protect Tao Xing. At the end of his battle, under such an intensive attack, he would surely die before long.

Wang Houwei stared at Murong Shuang unwillingly, his eyes were red and his face was distorted: "Murong Shuang! Is the thing in your place?!"

After yelling, he shouted to Tao Xing: "Do you think it's the best choice to give him the things? Hahaha! What use is he doing to you now? He will still try to kill you in the future! Originally, you gave the things to him. I might have a chance, but now that you have given it to him, there will only be a dead end in the future! You..."

A man in black pierced Wang Houwei's throat with a sword, and dozens of other swords pierced Wang Houwei's body. Wang Houwei couldn't utter another word, and fell to the ground, gradually becoming cold and hard.

Murong Shuang stood in front of Tao Xing with her sword in hand. Seeing that Wang Houwei was dead, she felt relieved and turned to Tao Xing: "Are you injured?"

Tao Xing looked back at him calmly, with neither fear nor emotion in his expression: "No."

Murong Shuang smiled slightly, he felt that Tao Xing was a little different from usual today, Tao Xing had no expression on his face, but this made Murong Shuang panic for no reason.

He put on a perfect smile again, and stroked Tao Xing's shattered hair behind his ears affectionately: "Why didn't you tell me in advance when you came to see someone? I'll send more people to protect you. Fortunately, I arrived in time, Otherwise I will never see you again."

There was a smile on the corner of Tao Xing's mouth, but his eyes were calm and unwavering: "I asked Yiyi to pass on the message yesterday, didn't Yiyi tell you all about it afterwards, is there anything you don't know about me?"

His tone was flat, but Murong Shuang could hear a hint of coldness, feeling uneasy like water overflowing to the rim of a glass, swaying, and if there was more, it would rush out crazily.

Murong Shuang suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, and said in a low voice: "Yiyi is my servant, and it is her duty to report to me everything that happened in the house, if you mind, I will not let her serve you in the future. "

"This has nothing to do with Yiyi. I also asked her to help me on purpose because I didn't want to die." Tao Xing looked at him, "You still don't understand?"

Why didn't he tell him in advance when he came to see Wang Houwei?If Murong Shuang found out, he would definitely send many masters to protect him secretly, so that the possibility of him returning alive would be very high.

But Tao Xing didn't do that.

—Why didn't you tell him yourself?

Tao Xing said indifferently: "The sandalwood pillow I took with me when I went to the residence you arranged for me from the Spring Breeze Pavilion is gone. To be precise, it's not gone. The shell is still there, but the tiger talisman inside is gone."

Murong Shuang froze all over.

Tao Xing pushed him away and took a step back slowly.

Tao Xing only took a step back, but the two of them seemed to be separated by thousands of rivers and mountains in an instant, surrounded by clouds and mist, their faces were blurred, and they couldn't see each other's face clearly, let alone their heart.

Murong Shuang stretched out his hand to grab it, the corner of Tao Xing's clothes slid across his fingers, silky and ethereal, Murong Shuang didn't grab anything.

The blood on Murong Shuang's face faded in an instant.

Tao Xing didn't seem to see Murong Shuang's pale face, so he continued on his own: "A few months ago, the general led four thousand soldiers to resist the enemy's ten thousand cavalry. Returning from the victory, the emperor was relieved on the face, but he was probably mad in his heart, "

"Using thousands of enemies is simply sending you to death. If you are a person, you will not think hard about running to die, unless someone doesn't want him to live, and deliberately misleads the spies who spy on the enemy. People who have been loyal to the enemy for most of their lives end up being punished because of their great achievements. Plotting, who doesn't feel sad when encountering this, so the general treasoned, "

"It's a pity that the general was seriously injured during the battle. He knew that his life was not long, so he pinned his hopes on his subordinates, but the emperor saw him seriously, so he had no choice but to pretend to be affectionate. See your sweetheart before you die, "

"That night the general gave the tiger talisman to the so-called 'sweetheart', and asked the 'sweetheart' to help him take it away and hand it over to his subordinates. The 'sweetheart' agreed without hesitation. There is no way for the general to save his life. Woolen cloth,"

"But the 'sweetheart' was murdered soon afterwards, and before he died, he handed over the tiger charm to his only trusted friend. Now that friend of his lost his heart, he was willing to give the tiger charm to the person who hooked him. The soulful man, just as he made up his mind, that man stole what was hidden in the pillow."

Tao Xing talked too much in one breath, and now he stopped and took a breath, seeing that Murong Shuang's eyes no longer had the brilliance of the past: "You asked me why I didn't tell you in advance? Now do you understand why? Murong Shuang?"
