flapping wings

Everyone stretched their necks to look, but they saw that the masked man had covered his face with his sleeves the moment he fell to the ground.

"Stay where you are and stand by!" Qi Ping ordered the disciples behind him to follow Mu Xiaoque to check.

"There will be a period later," the masked man finished speaking, and suddenly raised his hand and threw a black iron ball. It was impossible to make out what it was in the darkness.

Mu Xiaoque immediately turned around and rushed towards Qi Ping who was behind him, covering him with the whole body, before he landed, a bang almost woke up the whole Yunhe City.

The two people were pushed nearly a foot away by the aftermath of the explosion.

Mu Xiaoque slowly swallowed the fishy sweetness in her mouth, propped herself up, put her hand on Qi Ping's wrist and touched it, but couldn't hold it anymore, and leaned weakly against the dirt wall behind her.

When the smoke cleared, the masked man had disappeared.

A Xuanxiu sect disciple picked up half a silver mask from the wall and ran back to hand it to Mu Xiaoque: "Brother Mu, what shall we do next? Are you still chasing it?"

"There is no trace of the masked man." Several other disciples who spontaneously went to investigate came back at this time, and said: "Maybe he hid in some yard, should we send someone to look for it?"

A group of half-grown children looked at Mu Xiaoque, but they saw that this person ignored them, pushing and shoving with Qi Ping, not knowing what to do.

Mu Xiaoque reached out to push Qi Ping away, leaning on the wall to stand up, but in the next second, his whole body was pressed against the corner of the wall and completely covered.

There was a stalemate in the corner for a while, and finally he couldn't bear Qi Ping's nasal pleading, nodded, and obediently lay on the opponent's back.

Qi Ping carried Mu Xiaoque on his back, the pitiful look on his face disappeared immediately, and he said hoarsely: "Go back to Zhou's house, if the enemy comes first later, I can't protect you."

Among all the people, Qi Ping is the youngest, but everyone can't help but regard him as the backbone at this moment.

Therefore, there was no doubt about his decision, and they consciously lined up in a square formation and walked around to the main road.

All the way back to Zhou's house without any danger, Fang Jianzhi led Murong Jin hurriedly towards him from afar.

However, before they even said hello, they saw these two people passing by them without stopping.

Fang Jianzhi didn't stop until he was three feet away, turned his head to look over, his expression was full of surprise, "Did the story spread so quickly?"

"What's the matter?" Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and Fang Jianzhi's whole body was shocked when his eyes swept over Mu Xiaoque on Qi Ping's back.

He immediately collected himself and looked at the disciples of the Xuanxiu Sect. When he saw the half of the silver mask, his expression suddenly changed, "Where did you get this thing?"

After listening to the chattering narration, Fang Jianzhi held the mask in his hand, and said solemnly: "The Zhou family was stolen, and the thief wore such a silver mask. Mingyuan, you and I go to meet the Zhou family." Patriarch, Jin'er, go to the doctor and come over to see Brother Mu's injury."

"You don't need to find a doctor. The juniors have been sent back safely. We still have some other things to deal with."

Mu Xiaoque got up from Qi Ping, waved her hands, whispered an address in Qi Ping's ear, and said, "Xiaoqi, let's go!"

Fang Jianzhi couldn't help frowning when he saw the slightly thin backs of the two of them. He felt a little uncomfortable when he remembered the words that the other party questioned him at the entrance of the restaurant.

Are there really spies in the righteous way?Let them watch out for this.

"Brother Mu is really amazing," a disciple beside him said with emotion, "If I were a woman, I would definitely marry him."

"Except for that unspeakable hobby," the other continued: "It's good everywhere, but it's too fierce."

A group of people nodded together: "It's really fierce."

…………

Qi Ping followed Mu Xiaoque's instructions and came to the stronghold. This is an inconspicuous house similar to that in Guanlan City, hidden in the deepest part of the alley.

After working for about an hour

"My lord, the bed has been prepared for you." The old woman stood at the door, glanced at the hands they held together, and whispered, "Someone will take good care of the commander at night, so don't worry."

"I'll just sleep with him." Qi Ping took off his coat directly, got into the bed, hugged Mu Xiaoque and lay on his chest, and looked at the old woman purely and innocently.

The air was gradually filled with the meaning of tit for tat, and sparks were flying, comparable to a battlefield.

Mu Xiaoque opened her eyes silently, and then pretended to be asleep. Regardless of the secret fight between the two, it is estimated that they will fight.

He passed the back of Qi Ping's head and nodded slightly to the old woman.

The old woman had no choice but to lose the battle and blessed her body: "Master sleeps well."

"Hmph!" Qi Ping closed the door, sat up straight and raised his arms to the tip of his nose to sniff, eyes full of hesitation as he looked at the door.

"It doesn't stink," Mu Xiaoque patted his waist helplessly, "Go to sleep."

Qi Ping turned around in surprise, before he could get closer to make out, Mu Xiaoque had already closed her eyes again, the whole process was extremely ruthless.

At the same time, the edge of the pit where the explosion occurred

The crushed stones mixed with soil loosened slightly and slid towards the deep pit. The autumn wind blew by and immediately stirred up a burst of fly ash.

Afterwards, more and more gravel rolled towards the bottom of the pit one after another, a thick stone slab was suddenly lifted, and a man with blood and flesh came out from inside.

The fly ash was inhaled into his lungs, choking him to the ground and coughing heart-rendingly.

Blood sprayed on the stones, he managed to get up, took out a pill from his pocket and swallowed it, and walked forward danglingly while propping up the wall.

At this time, another masked man in black suddenly walked out from the end of the alley.

Under the moonlight, the man in black walked to him unhurriedly, propped up his arms, walked around the alley, and then stopped at a remote corner.

Looking forward, there is an exquisite three-story building, and the light shines through the windows, illuminating this small square inch.

"Think about it," the man in black clenched his hands beside his side into fists, "If you take this step, there will be no room for change. There is still time to withdraw now."

"There is no way out, I seem to have told you countless times."

"You are not afraid of death for your own ambition, but you also have to think about other people," the man in black said calmly, "It's really selfish to do so."

"I have been planning for ten years, and I can even lose myself. Do you think I will be afraid? And don't forget, this is a deal you are willing to make with me. Are you afraid of death now?"

"I just don't want to kill too many people," the man in black gritted his teeth, "There are enough dead people."

"Don't you think it's ridiculous to say that? Why, after hanging out with good people for a while, you think you're also a good person?"

The man in black looked up at the sky and sighed, "Have you never regretted anything in your life?"

"I once dreamed of being a hero, but it turned out that I was overwhelmed." He glanced at a certain window, and said, "And let me remind you again, remember our deal, otherwise I will have countless ways to kill you." you."

"I've always wanted to be a hero," the man in black ignored his threat, but instead said in a dangerous tone: "But there is always no chance. If I kill you now, will I have a chance?"

At noon on the second day, Mu Xiaoque was sitting at the table frowning and flipping through the information in his hand, when he noticed that Qi Ping's breathing rate had changed, he glanced at the bedside.

Sure enough, in the next second, a sleepy face emerged from the bed curtain.

The moment Qi Ping saw him, the corner of Qi Ping's mouth curled into a smile, and he fell down on the bedside and yawned big.

Mu Xiaoque took a sip of tea: "Guess what the Zhou family lost last night?"

"Yu Ruyi?" Seeing Mu Xiaoque nodding, Qi Ping tapped his chin on the two overlapping arms.

He thought about it again: "Yu Ruyi is the heirloom of the four major families, so the Zhou family will definitely send people to guard it on the night of the fire. Have their actions been discovered?"

Mu Xiaoque went to the sink to wash a handkerchief, and then flew to Qi Ping's head, "Do you think the masked man is a demon?"

"Not necessarily," Qi Ping wiped his face with a handkerchief: "But someone must have noticed the actions of the Zhou family that night."

"I always feel that the masked man is not very hostile to me," Mu Xiaoque recalled the details of the first fight between the two, as well as the scenes of last night.

In the two confrontations, the man never used his real kung fu. "His identity may be easily identifiable."

"According to what you say, it can't be done by the devil." Qi Ping climbed down from the bed and said while washing: "It's only been a few days since the devil came out of the rivers and lakes. To be honest, these people of the younger generation can know what they look like." Not many."

………………

The two went to Zhou's house after lunch, but when they got to the door of Zhou's house, they saw that the door was closed tightly, and a group of people crowded in front of the door kept pounding on the door, almost like it was going to explode.

"If you want me to say, it's fine to break in. I want to see with my own eyes whether the jade Ruyi is really lost or not?"

"This week, Mingde is just fucking nice. It's only been a few days, and he wants to send us away with Yu Ruyi being stolen?"

"Whether our Zhou family's jade Ruyi lost has a relationship with you for a copper coin?" There was also a shout from the door: "This is our Zhou family's own business, less dogs and mice to meddle in their own business!"

"When your Zhou family is wiped out by the demonic way, that's your own business! Don't come and cry at that time."

"Every bird's beak can't let out clean farts," the people in the door continued to curse: "You are a bunch of righteous lunatics."

"Brother Wood!"

The two turned their heads when they heard the sound, and saw Hua Buluo leading a group of people waving to this side, and Qi Ping walked over and said, "Are you guys going on patrol? Did you gain anything?"

"No, this Du Sanniang is very good at hiding. People will believe that it is a mouse." Hua Buluo led them into Zhou's house through a side door, and said regretfully, "Why didn't we come across a silver mask or a black mask?" of?"

"You may not be able to beat it if you meet it, right?" Qi Ping grinned: "It is estimated that the whole army will be wiped out."

"Break the relationship," Hua Buluo gritted her teeth, "Your Que'er brother is the best and the most powerful!"

Mu Xiaoque rubbed her nose, and before she could change the subject, she saw a sneaky figure walking towards the west chamber against the wall, "Xiaobao?"

Hearing someone calling him from behind, Xiao Bao straightened his back in fright, turned his head cautiously, and hid at the base of the wall, not daring to look at them, "Brother Mu, Brother Seven."

"Aren't you in confinement?" Qi Ping leaned over and grabbed him by the collar: "Did you go out to fool around again last night? You are still wearing black clothes, you are quite prepared!"

"I'm too uncomfortable," Xiaobao explained with his head down, "every day I don't leave the gate, I don't step out, I'm about to get worms."

"Don't be an example!" Qi Ping patted him on the shoulder, and Xiao Bao was so shocked that the sweat dripped from his forehead, wishing he could shrink himself into the wall.

Qi Ping was taken aback for a moment, then stretched out his hand to touch Xiaobao again.

The cold and sticky touch surprised him, he retracted his hand and looked down, there was a faint layer of blood on it.

Qi Ping immediately looked back at Mu Xiaoque, "Queer, something is wrong."
