Run into the world

Chapter 318 The first wave of killers

"Finally, I can have a peaceful meal. You have to walk this way, and my head is almost spinning."

After entering the inn, Shen Zhaodi put her chin directly on the table, her whole body wilted.Shen Wuming's face didn't look good either. He sat down next to the second sister and looked at Duan Muxiang with resentment.

Duan Muxiang, on the other hand, completely ignored the two's protests and ordered four dishes and one soup without even asking them what they wanted to eat.

They have arrived at the boundary of Anhui Prefecture, and the entire journey has entered the middle stage. In other words, Liu Xia in Jinghai County has most likely started to cause trouble.

It's hard to say when those villains will kill Liu Xia, but they should have noticed the relevant personnel of the institute. If they want to take action, the first step is to investigate, and then they discovered that Shen Wuming was not there.

However, due to the existence of Liu Xia, they should not know that Shen Wuming is the real inventor of the air stone. They will most likely think that Shen Wuming is in a good mood and travel, and when the time comes, the assassination will only send some little Karami. .

This was their chance, but even if the killers were not good at it, he couldn't be careless, so he chose a relatively remote road, but he didn't expect that this road would be so bumpy that he almost had bile dripping out along the way.

"The mountain road here is relatively remote, but the distance is short, and it is close to a minority gathering area, so ordinary caravans will not take this road."

Shen Zhaodi tilted her head so that she could see him, "The caravan is not leaving, why should we leave?"

Duan Muxiang chuckled and said: "Because it's easy to be alert here. As long as you are not from a minority group, you should be alert. In addition, there is also a road into Kaifeng, but it is just a road rarely used by people."

"Have you been here before?"

Duan Muxiang smiled but didn't say anything. They had taken this path in their previous life, but under the guidance of Wen Du. One of his former comrades was a local from a minority village here.

But of course he won't disturb others by walking this time, but there's still no problem with this path.

"fine!"

The food came quickly, and Shen Zhaodi almost buried her head in the bowl.Shen Wuming still had some baggage, so he coughed lightly and asked again: "The border of Kaifeng is ahead of us, right? Are we going to take any small roads this time?"

"No need this time. The plot that we can evade by moving around is over here. We just need to be more vigilant from now on." Then he glanced disdainfully at Shen Zhaodi who was immersed in eating rice, "Especially this kind of thing that doesn't even have to be poisonous or not. Some people must not eat the meals I tried!”

Shen Zhaodi raised her head, with a grain of rice stuck to the corner of her mouth, "Don't you know medical skills? What should I be afraid of?"

"If you want to say that, I really have no way to refute it."

Duanmuxiang gave up continuing education, and after quickly finishing the meal, the three of them set off again.Kaifeng County is definitely an important city in Yuzhou Prefecture, and it is also a tourist city. The roads extend in all directions and are very smooth.

The carriage passed the border of Yuzhou Prefecture smoothly, and it was already noon the next day when it entered Kaifeng County. Shen Zhaodi poked her head out of the carriage, with a look of novelty on her face, as if she really regarded this trip as a trip.

"Find an inn first, rest for the night, and start again tomorrow morning."

Shen Zhaodi suddenly became energetic and said, "Okay, okay, we still have the whole afternoon, let's go shopping!"

Duanmuxiang's lips twitched slightly, "You really are taking a trip!"

Shen Zhaodi turned to look at Shen Wuming, "What do you think?"

Shen Wuming was a little panicked, "I...does it matter what I think?"

Shen Zhaodi looked at Duan Muxiang again, "My brother said he wanted to go shopping!"

Duan Muxiang rubbed the corners of his eyes, looked around, and quietly used his senses. No matter whether it was a premonition of danger or innate senses, he did not detect the existence of enemies. "Forget it, I have been tired recently, so let's go together, I It’s been a long time… well, I haven’t visited Kaifeng.”

Shen Zhaodi immediately put on a smile and hugged Duan Muxiang's arm tightly, showing a clingy person.

Shen Wuming covered his face and smiled bitterly, "Your behavior is a bit like a brother-in-law teasing your aunt. You really have no ethics at all!"

Shen Zhaodi was not embarrassed at all, "Hey, if the eldest sister didn't like women, she would be more clingy than me!"

Shen Wuming was speechless, could this be publicized casually?Well, although he doesn't discriminate against this kind of thing, and even likes watching two beauties flirting with each other, if one of the women is his wife, even in name only, it won't be a good feeling.Therefore, the entire Shen family actually takes good care of Duan Muxiang's mood in this regard.

But Duan Muxiang was obviously more open-minded than them, and smiled: "From the first time I looked in the mirror, I knew that I would always fall into such twists and turns. Who makes him so handsome!"

Shen Wuming closed his eyes, not wanting to look at this couple of bitches anymore. He had been so focused on research that he didn't pay attention to what had become of his family. He didn't know if the eldest sister knew that the second sister was so greedy for her brother-in-law?

The three of them settled the carriage, then opened the room and went out shopping.

During this visit, I really admired the prefect of this place. He was obviously very interested in the tourism industry, and he even felt like he was using too much force and not caring about people's lives.

Horse battles, hook-and-rail tile houses, solving cases, cockfighting, recruiting a son-in-law, exotic beauties, all kinds of large-scale performing arts programs, all focus on a rich and charming eye!

Shen Zhaodi was quickly conquered by the food stalls on the roadside. The hand originally holding his arm was already full of various skewers, and the soup alone was spilled all over the place. Fortunately, there was no aunt who was responsible for street cleaning. , otherwise we don’t know how much we have to pay.

Oh oh oh!
The three of them paused and turned to look at the river. A small wooden boat floated along the river. A beautiful woman with heavy makeup in ancient costume on the bow took out a bamboo flute and started playing.

"Why did you suddenly start performing?" Shen Zhaodi was a little confused.

A passerby laughed and said, "You must be from out of town. Our leaders recreated some of the things that happened in the fantasy world as a performance. There will be one every few days."

Duan Muxiang raised an eyebrow, "So someone saw a beautiful woman standing on the bow of the boat playing the flute in the fantasy?"

Another passerby continued: "Playing the flute is just the beginning. The boat will continue down the river, and then the performance will officially begin after reaching another section of the river."

Shen Zhaodi became interested upon hearing this, "Then let's go and have a look!"

Still a passerby said: "There will be a fee to go to the next river."

"..."

He really knows how to make money!

The Shen family is not short of money, but they just feel a little unhappy.Shen Zhaodi looked at the skewer in her hand and the small wooden boat that was gradually moving away, as if she was weighing which of the two was more worthy.

Duan Muxiang reluctantly pulled the two of them forward, and after taking the initiative to pay for the tickets, she felt happy again.

The closer we get to the performance area, the more people there are.

Duan Muxiang was a little worried. He had no way to defend himself in this crowded situation. Fortunately, there were a lot of trees nearby. Duan Muxiang pulled the two of them and leapt forward to occupy the best viewing position.

The performance has already begun at this time, and you can roughly understand what the show is just by looking at a few boats in the river.

'Okay, you actually dare to pretend to be a government official and rob the birthday card. Boys, prepare to kill the thief! '

An actor in ancient official uniform shouted loudly, and then the surrounding extras began to pretend to fight.

Pfft!
Shen Zhaodi's eyes widened and she refused to eat any of the food. "Here, are these extras so dedicated? They just pretended to be dead and jumped into the river!"

boom!
Even Shen Wuming had to sigh this time, "The cannons on the official ship are so big, they are so angry. Are you going to waste a lot of money on a wooden ship for this performance?"

coax!
The surrounding tourists were also shocked and gave out amazing shouts and applause.

Duan Muxiang smiled and said: "No wonder people can do a good job in the tourism industry." Looking down, he saw that the extra actor who was pretending to be dead had floated over from the river, and he was holding a few notebooks in his hand to sign autographs for tourists. He was dedicated. .

Duan Muxiang turned her head and looked at the sign hanging on the shore. It said roughly that this performance was based on the plot of a martial arts event that she saw in a fantasy two years ago.However, in reality, not many people participated in that grand martial arts event. Even those who did occasionally failed unluckily, so the plot of the performance was just a peripheral event of the original grand event.

He had no impression of this incident. After all, there were too many illusions in this world.However, it can be seen that the events in this illusion should be deeply involved with the imperial court.

After about half an hour, the performance ended and everyone continued to wander forward. A group of passers-by gathered and attracted their attention.

"Every guest coming from the south or going north, please take a look. Today, I am the King..."

An old man stood up from a three-story wooden building. He was dressed in a festive and smiling face and wanted to find a son-in-law for his daughter.

Shen Zhaodi became interested again, and she pulled Shen Wuming to squeeze in. However, the crowd in front of her didn't tolerate her, and she didn't get in no matter how hard she fought.

At this time, an hydrangea was thrown out from the hand of the actor who played the daughter. It was not a big deal for a group of people to watch the excitement, especially the female tourists who played the hydrangea like a volleyball. Several young men could not grab it. It was a lively event. .

The actors upstairs almost burst into laughter. Duan Muxiang was also very amused, but suddenly she saw the hydrangea flying towards Shen Wuming for no reason, and the guy stretched out his hands to catch it as if he was joining in the fun. .

Shadowless feet!
It was Shen Wuming who was kicked, not Hydrangea...

Fifteen minutes later, Shen Wuming looked at his brother-in-law with a resentful expression, "You are really my brother-in-law!"Shen Zhaodi laughed and patted him on the shoulder, "Brother, you have to be a little bit pursuing. That extra performer is not as good-looking as the second sister. What if I have to rely on you?"

Shen Wuming's eyelids were drooped and his whole body was sluggish. When he returned to the inn, he imitated the second sister's behavior before and rested his chin on the table.

Shen Zhaodi obviously ate a lot along the way, but she still cooperated as if she was very tired, "I'm depressed, and I have to eat big fish and meat to make up for the missing nutrients."

Duan Muxiang didn't look at it, "Why didn't you say this in front of your sister? How can the Shen family be short of your food rations? Haven't you always said that you want to lose weight and stay in shape?"

"These figures are all based on comparison. The eldest sister and Marissa in the family have attractive figures. Even my crazy girl and aunt's appearance are the best. Now when I go out, there are two stinky men around me. I still Keep it up!"

Duan Muxiang had no idea and looked at Shen Wuming again, "Are you going to overeat too?"

"alright!"

"..." Why did I suddenly become a nanny?The two guys in the previous life were still sensible!

Duan Muxiang had no choice but to order. Maybe it was because of the tough dishes, but the serving time was a little slow.During this period, two teenagers dressed in ancient costumes entered the inn, looked around, then came to the middle of the three people with fists clasped, and handed over an invitation.

"Huh? Martial Arts Conference?" Shen Wuming looked at the invitation with a big question mark on his forehead.

The two teenagers turned around and left with a very awesome look. The shopkeeper next to him saw it and smiled and said: "This is a special tourism project here, and it is also a project that is said to be learned from a certain illusion. This tourism project is about It started three years ago, and it happens once every quarter. The winner not only gets a monetary reward, but also a guaranteed place in a certain fantasy land!"

"Eh? I'm recommending a place in the fantasy world!" Shen Wuming was shocked. "Isn't the fantasy world an extremely dangerous thing? Are you still recommending it?"

The waiter brought the food, and the shopkeeper moved a chair to sit next to it, and the whole thing was done.

"Let me tell you, our unique welfare is that after the county magistrate took office, he established a special unit, which is composed of veterans who have experienced several illusions. These people have rich experience in responding to accidents that occur in illusions. The so-called The recommended quota is the quota to enter the fantasy world with this special unit."

The three of them were all smart people, and they understood what he meant almost instantly. This could be considered a low-cost way to cultivate elites.After all, if any young man rises up because of this matter, then the county government will be close to him and it will be easy to establish a good relationship with him.

"It seems that your county magistrate is very well-organized!"

Duan Muxiang's compliment did not receive a response from the shopkeeper. He waved his hand and said, "You misunderstood. The leader of this project is a wealthy businessman named Ye Qingyu. His original intention seemed to be to select some guards, but I don't know why. We worked on this project with the county magistrate.”

"Ye Qingyu?"

Duan Muxiang was stunned for a moment. He was very familiar with this name. In his previous life, before his Shen family was wiped out, this guy did a big thing.

Ye Qingyu was actually a fake name. He had forgotten his real name, not because he didn't know but because he had simply forgotten it.

This guy's true identity is the young master of a large foreign family. Because his mother is from the Red Kingdom, he looks like a Red Country, which is very confusing.And his father is a member of the aristocracy of a small country in the Middle East. This large family controls the military power of a country and is very powerful.

However, Ye Qingyu himself did not have any inheritance rights because he had two sisters above him.This was not a hundred years ago, when people's thinking of favoring sons over daughters was not so exaggerated. Moreover, his two sisters were both good, so the inheritance rights were not his turn.

But things are unpredictable. Suddenly one day, Ye Qingyu was called back to his country to inherit the family. The reason was ridiculous, because his eldest sister became the queen of his country, and his second sister became the queen of a neighboring country.

The two countries had occasional frictions before, but now their family has become a bridge of communication between the two countries, and the family's status has naturally increased.Some elders in the family gave up two outstanding heirs and chose him to inherit.

But this time, those old men miscalculated. Ye Qingyu's ambition was far greater than everyone thought.

After declassification later, it was learned that Ye Qingyu secretly caused friction on the borders of neighboring countries, and then exacerbated the conflict.Later, the emperor sent his family to suppress the rebellion, but when he arrived at the front line, he surrounded and refused to fight. After being persuaded to surrender by his second brother-in-law, he defected to the neighboring emperor, who was also his second brother-in-law.

The original king of his motherland had no choice but to send the prince to lead the army, that is, his eldest brother-in-law, and then he died...

Yes, very simply, the eldest brother-in-law was killed by the second brother-in-law, and the second brother-in-law became the king of two countries.And his eldest sister also died in prison.

Later, in order to avenge the eldest sister and her eldest brother-in-law, his second sister plotted against the second brother-in-law, but unfortunately she was not killed, so the second sister was also thrown into the cold palace by the second brother-in-law.

But the cruel thing happened again. The second sister committed suicide in the cold palace, and then the second brother-in-law also set himself on fire and died in love.

The person who could inherit the throne died. Ye Qingyu took advantage of the situation and became the emperor of two countries with the military power in his hands!
The plot is bizarre and nonsense enough, but that's the result.

Of course, Duan Muxiang knew all this from foreign media and newspapers. No one knows the exact truth. Foreign media are accustomed to distorting facts anyway. No one can tell whether Ye Qingyu is as cunning, cold-blooded, and scheming as rumored.

But the reason why Duan Muxiang pays so much attention to him is because he has a special force under his command.

Duan Muxiang vaguely remembers that the name of this special force is Ashes. Its predecessor was a team that went to hunt for treasures in illusions. Now, at a glance, it is probably this force under the Kaifeng County Government.

In Duan Muxiang's opinion, the strength of the Ashes Special Forces was just that, but they had once entered a large-scale illusion, which was a bit special.

Do you still remember Liu Zhao, one of the two most promiscuous thieves in the world?Another adulterer named Song Chengxian was targeted by the entire martial arts community in that illusion. It was only in that illusion that people realized that there might be some special connections in each illusion.

Thinking of this, Duan Muxiang suddenly became interested. Calculating it, the date when Song Seung-hyun entered the fantasy world would be almost a month later.

He knows all the places in the world, and he won't waste too much time. This beauty and unique skill are almost picked up for free. Why don't you snatch them?

Well, he is a gentleman, and he will definitely not do anything to take advantage of others, but there is no reason to give up his skills!
"Brother-in-law, let's go take a look!"

"Stop talking nonsense. Even if you try to compete with me, you're just going to get a consolation prize. Besides, even if you have the quota, how can you really get in?"

Duan Muxiang decisively refused. Before the business was over, any so-called advantage might be a disaster.

Shen Wuming sneered, "I'm just saying this casually, don't be angry, hehe... Oh, what kind of ink was used on this invitation? Why wasn't it dry?"

Shen Wuming spread his hands, only to see that his fingers were all black and looked like a schoolboy who had just learned calligraphy and did not maintain the correct posture and got himself dirty.

"Of course it's good ink!"

The shopkeeper's face suddenly changed, and he raised his hand and poked Duan Muxiang in the eyes.

Shadowless feet!
Before his fingers even got close, he was kicked in the chest. The shopkeeper didn't even grunt before he was stuck on the wall.

In an instant, all the diners in the hotel lobby overturned the tables and pulled out steel knives from under the tables...

The next second the hall fell silent, and all the killers had a triangular nail driven deeply into their necks.The force was so deep that it had penetrated most of the neck and started to damage the neck bones.

Shen Wuming screamed and vomited. Not only was it the first time he saw a murderer at such a close range, but it was also because he was poisoned!

Shen Zhaodi looked at her brother's fingers and then at the food on the table, "These people are sick. Instead of poisoning such tempting food, they actually poisoned the invitations."

Duan Muxiang was funny, "Do you think it's easy to poison food? You must know that the various combinations in food are very particular. Usually, even adding a little more salt will cause the taste to be wrong. The cooking methods of various dishes are different. If poison is added It's easy to change the taste of the dishes when you go in. If you really meet someone who knows how to eat, you will never eat it. You have established yourself as a foodie in the afternoon. How can they take the risk of poisoning the food? "

Shen Zhaodi frowned with disdain, "Aren't all the poisons in novels colorless and tasteless?"

Duan Muxiang covered her face, "You have been deceived. In fact, those so-called colorless and odorless poisons are of extremely high grade. But they are not as common as said in the novel. These killers are obviously very poor. How could there be such a thing? of poison.”

Shen Wuming was still vomiting next to him. Seeing Shen Zhaodi's "knowledgeable" look, he finally couldn't bear it any longer, "How about we talk later? I think I can save it a little bit more."

Duan Muxiang smiled and pricked all ten of his fingers with silver needles, then pressed his arms down with both hands, and the poisonous blood began to spurt out.

"Is this... so rough?" Shen Zhaodi was shocked.

Duanmuxiang rolled his eyes at her, "Rough? His meridians are all stained with toxins. While I help him force out the poison, I also use my true energy to purify the toxins from his meridians. This means that my true energy has restraint on evil toxins." , anyone else would have to adjust slowly."

Shen Zhaodi pursed her lips and turned to look at the corpses on the ground, "Then what should we do next?"

Duan Muxiang pointed to the backyard, "Let's just get in the car and leave. We'll leave the city overnight."

"Will...will we be treated as fugitives?"

Duan Muxiang shook her hand, "We are backed by the Zhao family and the Fu family. If they really report to the official, they will be in trouble! So they will take care of it themselves, and we don't need to worry about it anymore."

"Well, wouldn't it be better if we relied on the power of the government?" Shen Zhaodi asked hesitantly.

"They will find the official people troublesome, but that doesn't mean they are afraid of the official. And we don't choose the official, simply because there are people in the official army who are likely to lurk for them. I can't find them, and it will be very troublesome."

Duan Muxiang sighed, "Let's go, this is just the beginning, the real difficulties have just begun!"

　Thousands of yuan in heating bills were wasted. When the cold air came, the room couldn't even keep 15 degrees Celsius. My hands and feet were cold when I moved, which seriously affected my coding speed.
