Guard Jia spent more time than usual buying snacks. When he came back, he mysteriously reported to me the strange things he heard from the street. It was nothing more than a "brain-burning" strange case, and the whole city was talking about it.

Trouble is most likely to happen during the martial arts conference. Although the martial arts league invites well-known and upright people, there are always other unrighteous people sneaking in.

In ancient times, there was no 'eye of the sky', and there was no limit to the number of people who could disguise themselves. They could sneak in by pretending to be an identity. The more ruthless they were, they would intercept them in the middle of the road and snatch away their identity certificates and invitations.

The guards at the city gate were not so strict in checking, and they started to show off their faces one by one. The people who pretended to be fine were not good at all. Those people from well-known and upright families must have exploded with anger first.

This is like standing at the subway entrance and pouring makeup remover on each person. Both those with makeup and those without makeup are not happy.

There are also people with extremely high martial arts skills who cannot be stopped by anyone, such as Ximen Wuhen. If he wants to enter the city, who among the city defenders would dare to stop him?

Every time a general meeting is held, the city gate is the first lively place. People who are not welcome in Yuancheng often force their way in. Their martial arts skills are not particularly high, so they are not afraid of the guards guarding the gate. If you start a fight with them, most of them can be beaten away. If not, just shake them off.

People.

Yuancheng has a patrol team that is always on call when something happens.

It is rare for people to form a large group to break through the city gate. Three or five people are the most. If there are more people, the incident will escalate.

"Madam, you don't listen to me!"

"Huh? What did you say?"

"There is a reward, a huge sum of money, for whoever can catch the murderer, the Martial Arts Alliance will give a reward."

"Do you want to catch the murderer?"

"How can I do it? With my little skill, I am not qualified to be a victim. The murderer specializes in killing masters of various factions."

"Then why do you see so much money?"

"Hey, aren't you there?"

"You want me to have my brain burned?"

"Oh, it's good if you don't burn other people. Who can burn your brain? I mean, a lot of money... you don't take this money? To you, it's just like picking it up for free."

Picking it up for free? Working for Bai Mudan and Azhao is called picking up money for free. This master and servant are used to spending money like water. Although the Wulin Alliance is also wealthy, it may not be as lavish as the prodigal princess.

"The murderer killed several martial arts masters in a row with strange methods. I..."

"Hero!" A purple figure floated into the guest room door.

I wanted to ask Ah Zhao if his surname was Cao. As soon as I thought of their master and servant, he appeared with his handkerchief waving.

The small steps under his feet showed that he had opera skills. He was floating over. He was dressed in purple clothes covered with gauze and wore an amethyst lotus crown. The feeling of floating over was still very fairy. His face was also beautiful, as long as he didn't speak.

, that is a painting of a fairy (female).

"I said, don't call me a hero."

"Oh, heroine~"

"Call my name without the word hero."

"Doctor An~"

"Forget it, let's just talk about it."

"Hero, our princess will pay you a lot of money to find the murderer. It's up to you to catch or kill the murderer. As long as he doesn't continue to create an atmosphere of terror in the city."

"The one who digs out the brain?" Guard Jia asked hurriedly.

"Exactly! The princess's wedding is coming soon. There are endless dead people in the city. All the good joy has been washed away by the air of death! Do you think this murderer is evil? Should he be eliminated?"

"Catching the murderer is a matter of the Wulin Alliance. Why should I get involved?" My current identity is that of a distant relative of the Lu family. It is okay to come and go as I please in the main house of the Lu family, but I cannot reach out to the department that handles the case.

I don't really want to go after a murderer in my own name. I'm not used to openly competing with many people.

"The number that my princess gave is twice as much as the one from the Wulin Alliance!" Azhao counted the numbers with his hands, looking proud.

"Does your princess have any mines?" I asked subconsciously.

"Yes, there are several of them, how do you know?" Ah Zhao looked surprised.

"It's okay. I'll take this job, but there's no guarantee of success." The best thing about working for Bai Mudan is that you can fail. Now I'm very resistant to doing things that will lead to failure if I don't succeed. Secret guards have always been like this, and I value myself more.

's little life.

"Oh, you can do it. If you can't do it, then others can't do it either." Azhao slapped two banknotes on the table and said they were deposits.

After he left, guard Jia Cai closed his mouth that had been open for a long time in surprise.

"My dear, is the princess too rich? This, this deposit is the amount of the reward!"

"How about... you also find another job? Let me help you ask the princess if she still needs eunuchs. The person I introduced should be reused by her."

"Madam, please stop trying to push me. One time, you asked me to join the Demon Cult, and now you recommend me to be a eunuch. This is either a dragon's pool or a tiger's den. If you want me to die, just kill me with one knife. Don't torture me."

.”

"The demon sect is powerful and the princess is rich, which one is not a good place to go?"

"Wan'er went to marry the leader and become his wife. Why did I go there? Clean the house? Why don't I go back to my hometown to farm with you and the young master?"

"Speaking of farming, I sent Xiao Ding to Wan'er as a dowry girl. He can't come back to farm with us. From now on, he will have to rely on you and Xiao Xin to help. You should be mentally prepared."

"It's been so many years since I planted it. Madam, you have to let us get familiar with it, get used to it, and practice it."

"No problem, I'm going to earn the money I invested in the early stage, and you can take care of Yun Zhou at home."

"Madam, can you take Xiao Xin with you?"

"Take Xiao Xin with you? I'm not the Lion King, no need, there are many people in the way, I'll go by myself."

Only when guards Jia and Xin join forces to protect Yun Zhou can I truly feel at ease.

It's getting dark, so it's time to go out for a walk.

Tonight, the moon is dim and the stars are dim, but the lights in Yuancheng are extremely bright. I originally wanted to find a higher building and stand on the roof to observe the movement.

But as soon as the power was released, I found that the roof tonight was full of people, and there was no place for me to stand.

This huge crowd of people is probably all bounty hunters waiting to catch the murderer.

There are also many masters hiding in the darkness of the street below. There are people everywhere, and I really can't find a place to stay.

We walked around the street for a while and then turned back to Lu's house.

"Madam, you came back quickly enough." Guard Jia Zheng gave Yun Zhou water to wash his feet.

"Don't mention it, the murderer won't show up tonight." I was also going to wash up and it was time to go to sleep.

"How do you know? Do you know who the murderer is?" Guard Xin was spreading the quilt. When he heard our conversation, he turned around and looked at me eagerly.

"I don't know, but I know that he won't be able to do anything tonight. There are humanoid surveillance cameras all over the city. The murderer has nowhere to hide and will not commit the crime."

"Ah? What control?" Guard Jia looked confused.

"Don't worry about it, just go to sleep peacefully."

After hearing what I said, the guards Jia and Xin finished packing Yunzhou and went back to the house to sleep.

Yunzhou sneaked into bed, thinking I wouldn't notice his little movements.

I went over to lift the quilt, snatched the roasted pig's trotters from his arms, and put them back into the food box.

"The day before yesterday I ate deep-fried cakes in bed, yesterday I ate fried sweet potato slices, and today I want to eat roasted pig's trotters. Don't you know that in this world without detergent, it would be difficult to clean the oil on clothes, bedding, and pillows?"

After being scolded by me, Yun Zhou retreated into the quilt and turned his back to me.

He was huddled under the quilt, looking quite pitiful, but I knew him too well now, so I walked over and lifted the quilt again.
