A man named Li Bolong brutally killed a family of five and fled to Licheng.
Mi Lu watched the screams coming from inside the inn, a waiter hurriedly ran to the Yamen, and the rest were crying, as if whoever cried loudest would inherit the inn.
However, when this happened, many guests wanted to leave, but they had to wait here for dawn due to the curfew.
After Mi Lu wiped off the blood on his sword, he silently returned to the room, otherwise he might be the one wanted later, even though it was indeed him who killed him.
"Who do you think is so cruel? He actually killed the proprietress." In the store, the awakened guests were sitting in the lobby chatting.
"Yes, yes, she is a famous beauty from all over the country, but she doesn't want to enjoy it," a person with a sly eyebrow agreed.
"Hey, don't tell me, the murderer just killed someone because someone interrupted him while he was preparing to do something."
……
Their discussion did not disturb Mi Lu sitting in the corner, as if the murderer they were talking about was not him.
However, Mi Lu didn't notice that a bird under the eaves was staring at him.
"I see, I don't know if this swordsman is a great guy or a black and white swordsman, but he is so decisive, but it has nothing to do with me." In the dark, a man covered one eye and muttered to himself.
Soon, the bird flew away, and the man in the darkness also left.
Avoiding a group of officers and soldiers who came to the inn, the man went to the military camp in the east of the city. The attacker never showed up, so he had to wait and see. As long as the golden servant was there, he would arrive sooner or later.
Soon it will be dawn.
Because there were too many guests in the inn, Mi Lu was not arrested for investigation. In this borderland, there were so many people carrying swords, so we couldn't arrest them all, right?
What's more, there are more important Hu people to take care of, so just blame the Hu people for the boss's wife's death. Anyway, Hu people have the habit of raping first and then killing.
Mi Lu walked out of the inn. He didn't have much silver left with him. What's more, a life had been lost in this inn, so it was unrealistic to continue to stay there.
After buying some food, Mi Lu didn't know where to investigate.
Now it is known that only Xinxin is the daughter of the Red Spear Martial Arts School, and Qingying is dead. He has no news about other players.
However, the goal this time was not to kill other players, but just to kill the mastermind behind the scenes, so Mi Lu also ran to the east barracks where Jin Shilang was staying.
But what Mi Lu didn't know was that the barracks in the east of the city at this time was like dry firewood, which could be ignited by a spark.
"Go away, go away, this is a military important area, don't enter."
As soon as they approached the barracks in the east of the city, some soldiers drove away the surrounding people at the intersection. Even the people living there were driven out. For a while, the streets were filled with lamentations and complaints.
"My house is still here, and you soldiers are driving us away. Where will I sleep at night?"
"That's right, my shop is also there, how do you want me to do business?"
"That's right, let's go see the city lord and see how these soldiers bully us."
The flow of people quickly arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, and Mi Lu followed secretly. It was still daylight, so the mastermind behind the scenes probably wouldn't take action.
"The Lord of the City"
"We want to see the Lord of the City"
The crowd gradually had only one voice, that is, they wanted to see the city lord.
Soon, the vermilion door opened, and a person walked out, that is, Murong. The voices of the people gradually fell silent.
"Folks, please be quiet." Murong pressed his hands and said loudly: "I already know about this matter. However, I cannot agree to your request."
The crowd started to become noisy again, and some angry people even wanted to rush forward. Fortunately, a government official stopped them.
"Because Jin Shilang in the east of the city was assassinated by barbarians before, the things Jin Shilang escorted were to be dedicated to the emperor.
Therefore, I have no choice but to make this decision to ensure the safety of the things and present them to His Majesty. "
After hearing about the emperor, the crowd began to quiet down, and everyone was waiting for Murong's next words.
"However, I have arranged a residence in the west of the city for you. Please stay here for a few days. During these days, each person will be given 10 copper coins per day."
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd shouted "Master Qingtian".
There was just a person wearing the clothes of the chief clerk who kept admonishing in front of Murong, but Murong rejected them all.
It’s a joke, he just left after completing his mission anyway, it’s none of his business if he doesn’t have money, but it’s pretty good to be the Qingtian lord, hahaha.
After watching this farce, Mi Lu returned to the east of the city, but through abnormal means.
Xinxin had given him an address before, so that he could go there to meet her. Following the address, he came to a high-walled courtyard.
I looked around the corner and saw no one was there, so I jumped in directly.
- Zheng!
Mi Lu casually blocked the dagger attack.
Seeing Xinxin put away the dagger, Mi Lu also put down the raised sword, but there was another scratch on the scabbard, which made it really hard to follow him.
Xu Lu seemed to cherish this sword very much before, but he never took good care of it in his hands.
"Did you do Qingying?" Xinxin sat on the stone bench, poured Mi Lu a cup of tea and placed it opposite her.
Mi Lu sat down, picked up the tea in front of Xinxin, and drank it all in one gulp.
"You!" Xinxin looked at this scene, not that she was angry that he didn't believe her. If he was so easy to deceive, he couldn't be her partner.
It's just that she just drank this cup of tea, and coming from modern times, she still feels a little ashamed.
"Why do you care about this? After all, the body is not yours." Mi Lu smiled slightly and waved his hand.
"Humph! You don't understand." Xin Xin angrily took the teacup he had just poured and drank it all in one gulp.
"Okay, okay, stop being awkward and tell me what clues you have." Mi Lu patted his head. Although he was very good at acting and could figure out the personalities of many characters, he was just not good at dealing with women because he really did it. I don't understand their brain circuits.
"There are no clues. We can only wait and wait. After all, the timeline for our intervention is too late, and the people have disappeared long ago." Xinxin lay on the table and sighed.
The two of them just drank tea and waited for the night to come.
Chapter 6 Clouds gather here
Night gradually enveloped the compound. It was only about a hundred steps away from the military base in the east of the city. If there was any movement, you could rush there.
Moreover, no other officers and soldiers came to inspect this house. After all, it was the house that the Lord of the City had promised.
Mi Lu and Xin Xin were not just drinking tea, but looking at the defense map in the east of the city, clearly explaining where people could be hidden and where there were secret passages.
Although I don’t know why the military camp is so complicated, maybe it’s because people in this world are not normal.
After all, although this world is in ancient times, everyone does not have the title of "zi", and the entire army of Licheng is under the jurisdiction of the city lord, with more than [-] people.
They were commanded by a general named Xu, but I heard that this general took more than 2000 people deep into the Western Regions not long ago, and I don't know what military affairs he performed.
According to Xinxin, the current guards in Licheng are not strong. Tomorrow, the Jin Shilang will leave the city and return to the capital, and he will bring many officers and soldiers with him.
At that time, unless the attacker also has an army, he will definitely not be able to attack, so today will definitely be a sleepless night.
As for the attackers not coming?
That's impossible. If the attackers don't come, then the possibility of the players completing the mission is almost 0. After all, they are now trapped in Licheng and cannot get out.
However, this mastermind is a bit difficult to describe, so when the attacker is found later, we have to try to capture him alive. What if he is just a henchman?
"Boss Xinxin, do you have any experience you can share with me?" Mi Lu changed the topic and began to inquire about the game's information.
"Experience? I don't have much experience. I usually don't play roles seriously. I rely on force to pass the level."
"But after you finish this game, Mr. Gu will tell you, oh, by the way, Mr. Gu is the one with narrow eyes." Xinxin shook the tea set, and her tone became very serious when she mentioned that Mr. Gu.
"You will also have to think of a code name when the time comes. Although Mi Lu's call is quite smooth, it is better to use code names as much as possible. But Mr. Gu will tell you about this when the time comes."
Mi Lu nodded. He still understood the saying that squinting eyes are monsters. After all, as a game host, he is not the "developer" of the game but he has a good relationship with the "developer".
——huh~
A gust of cold wind blew, and Xinxin stopped swinging the tea set.
"Ready to go." He became serious, pulled a face towel from his collar, stood up, and hid his hair in the collar.
"Yeah." Mi Lu also put on a scarf. As a wandering swordsman, his clothes must have a scarf, which can protect him from the sun, blood, cover his mouth, and prevent wind and sand. The most important thing is to conceal his true identity.
Milu followed Xinxin's pace and ran briskly on the roof, as if playing some parkour game.
Arriving at the wall of the military camp, Xinxin looked around, threw out a hook, hooked onto the wall and climbed up. Milu quickly followed behind.
When Mi Lu arrived on the city wall, there was only one corpse of an officer and soldier on the ground, and there was no one else.
However, from here you can only see the school grounds inside the military camp, and the residence is on the other side.
"Did you do this?" Mi Lu asked, looking at the corpse.
"It's not me." Xinxin shook her head, said nothing more, and walked against the wall toward the watchtower.
After the two people arrived at the watchtower, it turned out that the sentry in the watchtower was also dead.
Walking down the city wall, I followed the wall step by step towards the barracks in the middle. I also encountered many dead officers and soldiers on the way.
Before I had even taken two steps, the largest house in the middle burned down, and the entire military camp suddenly came alive, with officers and soldiers walking around everywhere.
"Waterfall"
"There are enemies"
However, there were many jars placed next to the barracks, and the officers and soldiers used the water in the jars to put out the fire.
Xinxin took Milu and hid in the dark, watching this orderly scene.
More officers and soldiers put on their equipment and ran towards the place where the fire had just started. Only when no officers and soldiers passed by did the two of them come out of the darkness.
"Shall we go take a look too?" Mi Lu said.
Xinxin shook her head: "Let's find a house we can see and wait and see."
At this time, in the house that had just caught fire, a man in rich clothes quickly opened the door of the house next to him. He was relieved to find that the things inside were still there.
"Master Jin, the things are still there, but the thief is nowhere to be found." A tall man reported everything just now.
"Well, keep an eye on things. As for the thieves, there are so many officers and soldiers. I'm afraid they won't dare to come. They probably just got away." Jin Shilang locked the door and said calmly.
Soon, the commotion stopped, and the officers and soldiers returned to their original residences.
At this time, an officer and soldier ran over in a hurry and almost fell to the ground.
"What are you doing in such a hurry?" Jin Shilang looked at the officer and soldier coldly.
