Chapter 18
Lu Mu took a deep look at the person, didn't speak, but took the fan from Xiao Yuchen's hand automatically.
A smile appeared on Xiao Yuchen's face.
At this time, he always had the illusion that Lu Mu really liked him.
But it's just an illusion.
Lu Mu opened and closed the folding fan twice, lowered his eyes and said, "That person just now,"
"Huh?" Xiao Yuchen's heart beat wildly, and he still couldn't help looking forward to it.
If Lu Mu is willing to make it clear.
"It's okay," Lu Mu raised his head, "Looking at the river lantern?"
Xiao Yuchen was noncommittal, there were still a lot of people, and the two had to get very close.
"What are your plans for Xie Tianqi in the future?"
Lu Mu spoke suddenly, his voice was very low, but it didn't prevent Xiao Yuchen from hearing clearly.
He was stunned for a moment, and said casually: "The winner is the king and the loser, besides, the winner may not be me, he treats me the same."
Lu Mu paused, his tone was calm, but the speed of his speech was slower than usual, revealing the imperceptible hesitation of the master.
"That time at the palace banquet, he came to me because he wanted to join forces with me."
"En." Xiao Yuchen felt a string in his heart, but he only responded lightly on his face.
Lu Mu turned his head, "It seems that you are not surprised at all."
Xiao Yuchen laughed, and said cooperatively: "Let you pretend to like me and help him win the throne, and he will give you freedom?"
Lu Mu's eyes widened for a moment, then he lowered his head again, as if silently acquiescing.
"I came out today to pay you off. Xie Tianqi wanted to find something, his account book that you found."
Xiao Yuchen was stunned for a moment, he had already guessed the previous sentence pretty well, but he didn't expect Xie Tianqi to even tell Lu Mu the account book.
"It's really close cooperation, I told you all this."
Lu Mu raised his eyes, "He didn't say it clearly, I guessed it. If there is no accident, it should be divided into two books."
Xiao Yuchen was shocked, there were indeed two books.
After Liang Yunfan went south for so long and got it, he found that there were two copies, but he couldn't find any clues about the other key one.
Lu Mu looked at the person's expression and continued, "If you haven't found it yet, maybe you can consider cheating or slipping through the net."
With a flash of inspiration in his mind, Xiao Yuchen suddenly remembered Liang Yunfan's letter.
The letter was written by Yao Shi, and it was a lot of nonsense. Xiao Yuchen didn't read it carefully at the time, and now he vaguely remembered that Yao Shi had complained in it. They spent a lot of effort to find clues to trace the past, only to find that it was an ordinary inn's account book.
The boss was so frightened at the time that he said that a mysterious person gave him an account book with a lot of money.
Yao Shi also wrote innocuously, that the quality of the ledger is quite good.
Thinking about it now, it might not be true, but it may be two in one, and there may be another way to open it.
"How do you know?" Xiao Yuchen asked calmly.
"I don't know, I'm just guessing. Xie Tianqi asked me to look for it, and there are hints in this regard."
"Then why did you tell me?" Xiao Yuchen turned around, his black eyes were gloomy, "Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you?" After a pause, the corners of his mouth curled up again, with an inexplicable meaning, "Are you still proud of being favored?"
Lu Mu didn't seem to accept the threat or provocation at all, he just said: "You can still catch people when you go back now."
"Why did you tell me you haven't answered me yet?"
Xiao Yuchen further bullied others, even though the two of them were far away from the crowd, they still wore masks.
He looked at the person through the mask, but Lu Mu only lasted for two seconds before looking away, "If you don't go back, it will be too late."
Xiao Yuchen didn't move, he reached out to take off the human mask, and his fingertips ran across the warm and delicate skin, causing a tingling sensation.
"Is what you said that day true?"
Lu Mu subconsciously closed his eyes because of Xiao Yuchen's movement of taking off the mask. At this time, he slowly opened his eyes, as if a god was finally willing to look down on his gods and people.
"what?"
"Don't play dumb, you know what I'm talking about." Xiao Yuchen stared at the person tightly.
Lu Mu opened his mouth, wanted to say something but then stopped, but the blush filled his earlobes again.
Xiao Yuchen grabbed the person who turned around and wanted to leave, forced Lu Mu to look into his eyes, and coaxed in a low voice, "Is it true?"
The blush reached the corners of his eyes and brows, and the answer was ready to come out. Just as Lu Mu was about to speak, Xiao Yuchen's eyes suddenly widened.
Lu Mu felt himself being hugged into his arms and turned around, and amidst the whirring sound, he heard the sound of something piercing into flesh and blood.
There was a slight pain in his chest, Lu Mu lowered his eyes, and the tip of the arrow touched his chest, staining a little blood.
Lu Mu's eyes moved along the tip of the arrow, his voice trembling, "Xiao Yuchen?"
Xiao Yuchen let go of the person in his arms and took two steps back in a daze. The arrow pierced his chest from his back, and the blood splattered on the snow, dazzling red.
Originally, there weren't too many people around here, and those who watched the scene from a distance ran away without making a sound.
Lu Mu took two steps forward, then raised his eyes sharply.
An arrow came through the air, aiming at Xiao Yuchen.
Time seemed to be pressed on the accelerator, and when the picture stopped, Lu Mu had already knelt on the ground, and behind him was Xiao Yuchen who was already struggling to stand.
When he received the sword, he had grasped it in the middle, but now only the tail of the sword was held in his hand due to the huge impact force, and the flesh of his palm turned outward, looking bloody.
Too weak, it was the first time that Lu Mu felt that lack of internal strength was such an important thing.
An arrow that could be easily snapped before could bring him to his knees with the impact.
After the initial severe pain passed, Xiao Yuchen gradually regained some clarity. He broke part of the sword on the edge of his chest, and staggered to his feet.
Five men in black surrounded him. Xiao Yuchen wanted to push Lu Mu behind him, but blood flowed from his mouth as soon as he opened his mouth.
Lu Mu's eyes were bloodshot, he supported Xiao Yuchen, his voice was unbelievably calm, "Don't move."
"Who are you?"
Lu Mu asked the person in front of him, and at the same time reached out his hand to find a whistle on Xiao Yuchen's body and blew it vigorously.
"No, hurry up and save the white clothes."
The people on the opposite side glanced at each other, and a person who looked like a leader spoke humanely.
One person attacked first, but Lu Mu's body reflexively moved and then stopped suddenly, he could not retreat.
Lu Mu was thinking about Xiao Yuchen, but Xiao Yuchen stepped forward to meet him in an instant, and slapped him on the chest with his palm.
Qi and blood surged up from this exercise, severe pain came, and the blood scrambled to flow out. Xiao Yuchen's eyes turned white again and again, and he knew he couldn't hold on for long.
"you go first."
This change was too fast, and Lu Mu's eyes became fierce little by little, like a ghost climbing up from hell, with a bloody smell that couldn't be washed off.
Xiao Yuchen turned his head sharply, and Lu Mu was walking in front of him, staring at him firmly, "Don't move."
A few words were soft, and the slightly trembling voice was stained with pleading, and there was also great resentment caused by being too distressed.
Xiao Yuchen didn't speak for a while, he watched Lu Mu stand in front of him, and pulled out silver needles from the top of his head.
His first reaction was not that Lu Mu was hiding the weapon like this, but that it must be in pain.
He couldn't see Lu Mu's expression, but he might have seen the trembling of the other party, his hair trembling.
Xiao Yuchen knelt down on the ground, more and more places were eroded by darkness, he had a bad feeling in his heart, and the last sight he saw was that a person had also fallen down on the other side.
Lu Mu's clothes were already soaked in cold sweat, and he tightly squeezed the six needles in his hand.
The first person was caught off guard by a fatal blow through the eyebrows, and the people behind were already prepared, let alone a fatal blow, it would be very difficult not to miss.
He can only hold people back temporarily, the gap between the two knee joints is the best choice, but now there are four people left.Even if he didn't fail, he was still short.
And the other party is not a fool, he needs to change to another position.
There is an acupuncture point for numbness on the waist, what else?Lu Mu's mind turned wildly, recalling the acupoint diagrams he had seen before.
"It won't hurt you if you catch him without a fight. All we want is his life."
Perhaps the death of his companion shocked him, and the leader-like man spoke.
Lu Mu raised his eyelids and took a look at the person. Regardless of the fact that the first arrow was aimed at him, this statement has no credibility.
Even if they hurt Xiao Yuchen like that, killing him would not relieve the pain.
"Stop talking nonsense, come on."
"Since you don't know good from bad, don't blame it, uh," the man's voice paused, he lowered his head and inserted a needle into the crook of his left knee. Kneel down.
As soon as the accident happened, the rest of the people looked at each other and rushed forward.
When Lu Mu still had a needle left in his hand, there were still two people standing there. He wanted to deal with them, but they obviously only wanted to make a quick decision.
Lu Mu didn't even have time to use a needle when the person who hadn't done much moved his palm over very quickly.
Lu Mu turned his head to look at Xiao Yuchen who was lying in the snow, his black coat was dotted with snowflakes.
One second seems to be stretched too long.
In a trance, he went back to that year again, and it was also such a snowy day, and he looked at people like this.
The moment I closed my eyes, I saw a flying figure, it was Jia San.
It's a bit slow here,
Quickly save Xiao Yuchen, Lu Mu moved his fingers, he didn't know if he said it, and fell into the darkness completely.
The pale hand on the snow ground was still stubbornly stretching towards Xiao Yuchen.
Jiasan rushed to quickly and swung a sword that slashed in the air.
He looked at the sword on Xiao Yuchen's chest, and frowned, "Why is it in that position?"
The inconspicuous man in black who made the last crucial blow took off his mask, and it was A Er.
He frowned, and quickly helped Xiao Yuchen up, first tapped the acupuncture points and then took out the medicine and fed it in, "Master requested it."
"Let's go, the fourth brother is coming soon." Jiasan frowned tightly, and he slashed his arm.
After finishing these tasks, A[-] re-masked and attacked A[-] together with the remaining one.
A fourth's voice came from far away, "A third, you," angrily shouted halfway, then stopped, and rushed over quickly.
Jia Er waved his hands and made a gesture of withdrawing, then he and the rest left with the injured companion on his arm.
"Stop chasing, find a doctor."
A Si's footsteps suddenly stopped, he looked back at the scene in front of him, tears flowed out instantly.
He almost crawled to Xiao Yuchen's side, "Boss," he looked at Lu Mu again, his face covered with tears.
"What, suddenly, all of a sudden"
Another person came flying around, Jiasi grabbed the sword subconsciously, Jiasan waved his hand to stop, "Master sent a signal just now."
He wanted to pick him up, but he couldn't do it because his arm was injured, so Asi rushed to help him.
The rest of the people led Lu Mu, and soon it was as if nothing had happened except for the blood on the snow.
After a while, even the blood will be covered by the snow, and those who go to bed early will surely be amazed by the snow scene the next day.
