Mountains and rivers pray for peace

Chapter 45 Bloody Huailin
The night is as cool as water, and the bright moon is in the sky.

Zhang Mazi quickly took over the conversation, and squeezed those monkey eyes: "You still tell us whether it's troublesome or not, our lives are saved by girls, as long as girls are useful to us, even if If you go through fire and water, you will die."

Zhang Mazi felt like a mirror in his mind. After the last hunt, he heard that all the brothers who went to Longyang Peak were killed by wolves. Only he and Crab escaped. Although they were punished twenty times for not observing military discipline. Board, but in the end a life was saved.

They didn't dare to make random guesses about the plans from above, but one thing was certain, and that was Huo Qi's kindness.If it weren't for Huo Qi's kind guidance, they would have been taken away by the ghosts of the underworld. How could they be free and easy in this world?

Hearing this, Li Xixie next to him had a silly smile on his face: "Mazi is right! It is absolutely reliable for a girl to find us to do things. We are all on the note, and we will never leak anything."

Huo Qi responded with a smile: "Of course I trust you."

After a while, she said in a deep voice: "Queli, come out."

Li Mazi and Zhang Crab were stunned, but then they heard a rustling sound, and a man wearing a bamboo hat emerged from the grass nearby, with a few residual leaves on his head.

Queli felt aggrieved at the moment. Ever since the man named Huo Xian appeared, Huo Qi had made him stay in the grass and not make any sound, which made him confused.Or maybe he heard someone coming and asked everyone to ambush him in advance!
"I thought you came here to ask me to help you kill people, but you actually came here to let me watch you kill people? How boring."

Que Li muttered to Huo Qi on the horseback, his numb legs still staggered when he walked.During the speech, he reached Huo Qi's side.

"I brought you here, of course there are other purposes. If I want to find some martial arts masters as bodyguards, I will definitely not find you."

"What's the purpose? Isn't it all over? You won't let me kill the last two people?" Que Li muttered.

Zhang Mazi and Li Xixie were taken aback for a moment. They were curious about the relationship between Que Li and Huo Qi, but they didn't expect to be a guard, so they didn't feel any vigilance. Moreover, this man named Que Li was too thin. No threat at all.

"Before, you said you could hear my breath. Do you really mean that?"

"I dare not lie to anyone. I also know that a rabbit was grazing in the grass a mile away just now. Oh, and there are two fireflies behind me."

With that said, Queli turned around and grabbed the two fireflies, held them at Huo Qi's feet and let them fly. However, he found that Huo Qi was watching him quietly without any change of expression on his face, telling him what the woman was thinking now. Something.

"Why are you staring at me like this? Isn't the firefly I caught for you pretty?"

"There is something I need to entrust to you. Later, let's walk towards the capital. Please help me keep an eye out for anyone's presence on the road, and don't let anyone go."

Huo Qi recalled it carefully. On the night when Huo Xian died, Huo Chi was not at the house. Instead, he said he went out to drink with friends and hurried back the next day.At that time, because Huo Xian was dead, he went out to have fun, and Huo Rushan even scolded him.

Now it seems that for such a major event as the assassination of Huo Xian, it is impossible for him to wait for the news in the mansion with peace of mind, and he must personally follow it in some corner of Bizhu Peak.To deal with such a frail scholar like him, Queli can help her find someone, and there are two big men with not weak martial arts, it is enough to think about it.

"Are you treating me like a dog helping officials in the yamen?" Que Li's face was full of childish innocence.

"What nonsense are you talking about? It's just that you are naturally smart and have good ears and eyes. It is appropriate to help me find people." Huo Qi sometimes couldn't keep up with Que Li's escape, so he had no choice but to explain.

Que Li couldn't understand Huo Qi's polite words, he only knew that he was praising him, and immediately nodded without hesitation like a child who got candy.

"Can you ride a horse?"

"I don't know, I don't think so. I used to ride a cow with Zhang Laojiu before, and I went to help him carry firewood."

There were four horses left by Liu Yu beside him. As he spoke, Que Li randomly picked a horse and tried to mount it. Surprisingly, he had a self-evident proficiency in the movement of stepping on the stirrup and the gesture of pulling the rein. All beautiful and smooth.Those who don't know, probably think that Que Li grew up on horseback.

However, Huo Qi's attention is not focused on this. Being able to ride a horse is not a rare thing for men in Daqi. Queli has lost part of his memory. Maybe he has forgotten that he can ride a horse, but his body's memory But it won't disappear.

"Without further ado, let's go." Huo Qi said.

……

Beside a dilapidated temple ten miles away from Huailin, there was an incomparably luxurious carriage parked, one dilapidated and the other exquisite, reflecting a bit of absurdity.

The night is getting darker, the strong wind is howling in the mountains, and the sound of the wind is sad.However, the inside of the carriage is a warm room with a large space, and the inside is covered with a thick Persian blanket, even if the road is bumpy, it will not break your bones.There is a small coffee table between the seats on both sides, on which there is a pot of Yuqian Longjing, emitting the fragrance of tea.

Huo Chi was holding a cup of tea, sipping tea one after another.

However, as time passed, his expression gradually changed from calm to anxious.

He asked in a deep voice, "Wang Wu, is anyone here?"

"Second Young Master, no one has come yet." The groom beside the carriage replied truthfully.

Assassinating Huo Xian was a top secret matter, he didn't dare to bring any more people besides a coachman.After all, the more people there are, the more risk of secrets being leaked.Once the leader of the killer came to report the news of Huo Xian's death, he killed Wang Wu, and the matter was unknown.

Less than half an hour had passed, and Huo Chi couldn't help but ask, "Isn't anyone here yet?"

"No one came yet, the little one has been watching."

Huo Chi felt goosebumps all over his body due to the mountain wind. He tightened the cloak on his body, folded his hands and clasped it, and murmured in his heart.Logically speaking, things should be almost done. Nothing will go wrong, right?
As soon as this idea came up, Huo Chi said "Bah".

Today's matter must be foolproof.

He arranged for two groups of people to assassinate Huo Xian. The first group was Jianghu killers on the road. The price of hiring these desperadoes was too uneconomical. He spent all the money he had on hand, and he could only buy a dozen people for wages. He worked hard.

To be on the safe side, he even asked Nie Ru to send a group of reinforcements.

He met Nie Ru in Hualou last year. Nie Ru almost beat him to death when he first learned that he was from the Huo family. But he said that the first and second houses were not from the same place, so they started talking, and they were not acquainted with each other.Later, the two often met each other in the flower house and became friends as soon as they went back and forth.

This time when planning to assassinate Huo Xian, he almost immediately thought of Nie Ru.The power of the Nie Mansion is not weak. If there is help from the Nie Mansion, it will be even more powerful.Five days ago, after much hard work, he finally persuaded Nie Ru to help him.

But Nie Ru is not a fool, he suggested to Huo Chi that if the Jianghu killer can solve Huo Xian, it is safest for the Nie family not to show up.Unless it is absolutely necessary, you must not call the people of the Nie family to take action.

A group of Jianghu assassins and a group of soldiers from Nie's family dispatched nearly a hundred people. Even if Huo Xian was the reincarnation of the Tathagata Buddha, he would not escape death.

As soon as Huo Xian died, his good days came.

To put it another way, even if something goes wrong in this matter, the fire will not burn him.

The killers he bought with a lot of money were dead men, if the task was not completed, the only end would be suicide.As for the soldiers in Nie's house, they had nothing to do with him at all. It was Huo Ruhai who offended the Nie's family without knowing his life and death, and in the end made his son suffer the retribution of the world.

Thinking of this, Huo Xian's panic dissipated, his brows relaxed, and he even felt a little inexplicably proud. Even the tea in his hand was clear and refreshing.

Just as he was about to pour tea into the empty teacup, there was a muffled sound outside.

It is estimated that the hired killer came to answer.

Huo Chi was overjoyed, put down the teapot, opened the curtain and jumped out of the carriage. However, before he could realize why Wang Wu was not there, he tripped over a soft cushion under his feet and almost fell down.He kicked the mat under his feet out of habit and looked down.

It was actually Wang Wu's body.

A cold arrow passed through his chest. Wang Wu's body was still warm, his eyes were staring straight, and he was stuck to the ground like a ball of slime. He had obviously died not long ago.

Although it was not the first time that Huo Chi paid for someone to kill someone, he never did it himself. He just glanced at it for a short time, and his blood poured down from his body in fright.What frightened him even more was that a strange sneer came from the valley, like a mountain ghost crying at night.
