Found a loyal dog

Chapter 17

The next day, in the box of a small inn in Jusuo Town.

Zhang Lin deliberately avoided Wang Qi, and called Murong and Mu Xiong into the room. Li Zi was sitting on Zhang Lin's right hand side, and Jiang Xin was standing in front of the window looking at something.

As soon as the door was closed, Zhang Lin told Murong the purpose of calling them here: "Because this task is your assessment content, so the three of us will not give you any help. How to assassinate is up to you to decide." .”

Murong blinked: "Then what are you here for?"

Zhang Lin: "If you fail to complete the task, then the three of us will continue. Since we have received money from others, we must do things well."

Murong nodded to show that she understood. She guessed that the task would not be completed so easily. She never thought of relying on others at the beginning. Now that Zhang Lin said so, she didn't feel disappointed.

Zhang Lin glanced at Mu Xiong, and finally added to Murong: "She can act with you, but you must kill the mission target yourself, otherwise it will not be considered as passing the assessment."

------

Coming out of Zhang Lin's room, Mu Xiong had no expression on her face. She asked Murong, "What are you going to do next?"

Murong thought for a while: "Go and collect information first."

Mu Xiong: "Okay."

Murong grabbed her: "Wait, Mu Shao is still in the room. I'll go and carry her out, together."

In this regard, Mu Xiong has always disagreed with her: "You dote on her too much. She is a girl and not a boy. How can she be so delicate? You should let her learn to be alone, and she will be alone in the future." When you're doing things, you can't stay by her side all the time, can you?"

Murong smiled nonchalantly, she had the same bad habit of doting on children as young mothers in her era: "She's still young, let's talk about it when the time comes."

Mu Shao is very sensible, and she doesn't make any noise when she is alone in the room. She stepped on the bench to take the kettle off the table and put it on the ground, then squatted down and played house with herself.Hearing the sound of the door opening, she immediately put down the kettle and jolted over to hug Murong's leg: "Mother."

"Shao'er is so good." Murong kissed Mu Shao, and went downstairs holding Mu Shao's hand.

The target of the assassination this time is Wang Qi's Qingmei, named Luo Yi, who is the magistrate of the county where Jusuo Town belongs. If you want to assassinate, you must first find out where her residence is.

Murong and Mu Xiong came out of the inn. They were not familiar with the place, and they didn't dare to wander around. They just strolled along one side of the avenue. On the way, they stopped a passerby from time to time to ask some topics related to Luo Yi, and the answers they got were almost the same—— ——Luo Yi is the county magistrate who just arrived, but he has been ill recently and hardly goes to court; his mother wanted to hug her grandson, so she found a matchmaker to make several matches, and you can often see beautiful men coming and going in and out of Luo's mansion.

After hearing this, Murong couldn't help sighing, even though he was sick, he insisted on going on a blind date. In order to be friendly with the beauty, I even put aside my work, but it really echoed Wang Qi's original words of being both caring and affectionate.

Murong and the passer-by thanked him, the passer-by looked over Murong's shoulder, and immediately knelt down on the ground as if seeing a savior, and kowtow respectfully.

Seeing Murong and Mu Xiong still standing, passers-by couldn't help being impatient, and whispered to them while maintaining the posture of lying on the ground: "Why are you still standing there, why don't you kneel down quickly! The general is here!"

Jusuo Town is located on the border, separated by a boundary line that sounds good but can be trampled to pieces at any time in reality, and the tyrannical aliens are staring at the other end of the line. Living in such an environment, the people can't sleep all day long, whether they are adults or not. A child, the face is full of depression brought about by difficult days and mental tension.

But now, the faces of these people invariably show the light of hope. In the middle of the narrow road is a group of soldiers in armor. They ride tall horses with long swords on their waists, and surround a woman wearing a veiled hat in the middle, majestic. Passing through the long street, the people voluntarily bowed their heads and knelt wherever they passed.

Mu Shao was frightened by this battle, and held onto Murong's front tightly.

Murong stood still and neither did Mu Xiong.

Among a group of people with their palms on the ground, there are two standing ones. The contrast is obvious and you can notice it at a glance.The hat-wearing women in the team looked towards Murong and the others, the thick black gauze hung down from the brim of the hat, covering her face, making it difficult for people to see her expression at this time.

Murong stared at the woman intently, the team was getting closer and closer, the horse on the woman's crotch was already in front of Murong, a gust of wind blew from nowhere, and part of the black veil covering the woman was blown up, revealing a graceful figure Chin and lips.

Murong endured the urge to look away, and nervously forced himself to look at the woman.

The woman looked at it for a while, then turned back as if nothing had happened, looked straight ahead again, and led her soldiers away.

"Murong?" Mu Xiong carefully held Murong's hand and called softly.

Murong seemed to wake up from a dream, his whole body twitched, and he suddenly raised his head to look at Mu Xiong.

"Your hand is shaking..." Mu Xiong held Murong's hand even more forcefully, his face turned ugly, "That person just now..."

She didn't finish her sentence, fearing that touching Murong's scar would make Murong irritated again.

"Mother..." Mu Shao also looked at her worriedly.

"It's okay...I'm fine..." Murong took a deep breath, and the moment she looked at that person, a strong hatred welled up in her heart, and that hatred was mixed with resentment and fear that went deep into the bones. , Wrapped around her tightly like a snake, she thought she was going to die.

This feeling is obviously not hers. Her understanding of that person is limited to words, so it can only be Yang Hanyun's resentment left in this body. It disappeared as soon as it was caught.

Murong looked at the direction the person left with complicated eyes for the last time, turned around and walked back: "Let's go."

Mu Xiong glanced at her, moved his lips, but finally said nothing.

All the way silent.Passing by a clothing store, Murong grabbed Mu Xiong and said, "Come in with me to buy a dress."

Mu Xiong let her pull him, and asked, "What are you doing buying a skirt?"

Murong returned to his usual hippie smile: "Of course I wear it."

She scanned the finished products on the shelf, pointed to one of them and said to the boss, "I bought this one."

After paying the bill, Murong took the clothes back to the inn, changed into a newly bought skirt, and kept looking at the bronze mirror to see all kinds of bad things, and asked Mu Xiong behind him: "Does it look good?"

Most of the women in this world wear pants, and most of the men wear skirts. If women wear skirts, they will be laughed at. Murong has not had the courage to go so far, but every summer, he still can't help thinking about the day before yesterday. The feeling of wearing a cool short skirt on a daily basis.

Now that he finally wore the long-awaited skirt, Murong couldn't help but feel a little excited, he pinched the hem of the skirt and twirled it around on the spot.

Murong has almost no flaws except for her small breasts. Compared with the women here, she is a bit shorter. Putting on a skirt, corset and a masculine hairstyle is not an exaggeration.

But why should such a Murong show to others?Mu Xiong felt restless, and frowned and glanced at Murong: "It's not good-looking. Too much powder is applied on the face, like a ghost, so ugly."

Her tone was naturally bad when she said this, but she didn't notice.After hearing her evaluation, Murong was unhappy at the time: "Where is it ugly? I have small breasts, and it's only because of my small breasts that I can pretend to be a man and approach Luo Yi. Can you do it?"

After she finished scolding, she realized that she had been scolded too, and then took another look at Mu Xiong, who was being scolded silently with a sullen face like a log, and immediately lost the interest in arguing, picked Mu Shao up and left the room.

Murong was so angry that she walked back and forth in the corridor a few times, many female guests downstairs noticed her, pretending to be drinking but secretly looking at her, their eyes were full of astonishment.

Murong noticed their reaction, regained some confidence, and most of his anger subsided.It was inconvenient for her to take Mu Shao to Luo Mansion to inquire about news, she stood and thought for a while, then turned around and knocked on the door of Li Zi's room.

After getting Mu Shao settled down, Murong came out of Li Zi's room, ready to go to Luo Mansion now.

Mu Xiong was waiting at the stairs, wearing an old coat borrowed from the waiter, stopped Murong: "I'll go with you, pretending to be your servant. You..."

The following words seemed difficult to say, she hesitated for a long time before saying: "...I don't worry about you going alone."

Murong looked at her, she was no longer angry, and couldn't help laughing when she heard these words: "Okay."
