Chapter 42 Assassination

"It's really you!" Mo Ziyao went to the man to confirm, and her eyes were full of joy.

Looking at the man in front of her, Mo Ziyao said with a smile, "Last time I woke up, I wanted to say thank you and leave, but you were no longer there. But fortunately, I met you again today. Thank you so much that I can tell you in person!..."

"Yuer, don't be so polite. I had something to do last time, so I left without saying hello to you. When I come back again, you and your friends are no longer there."

Yuan Ling smiled and said, "Later, I often come here, hoping to meet you again. Unexpectedly, it has been more than two years, but I haven't heard from you again." With that, he laughed happily: "I almost missed you again today! Fortunately, you showed up in time! Ha ha!"

Mo Ziyao looked at Yuan Ling's gentle smiling face, as if time had returned to that night two years ago. Mo Ziyao thought about it and suddenly laughed.

Yuan Ling looked at Mo Ziyao and laughed inexplicably. She couldn't help but wonder what she was thinking and was so happy.

He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Does Yaoer remember that night..."

"Oh, how do you know?" Before Yuan Ling finished speaking, Mo Ziyao suddenly grabbed the words.

The smile on Yuan Ling's face was even better. He gently knocked Mo Ziyao's little head with the tip of his fan and joked, "As long as it's what you think, I know!"

Really? Ha ha, Mr. Yuan is so awesome!" Mo Ziyao also followed his words.

Gu Yanmu bolted the carriage, but happened to hear the two of them's unscrupulous jokes, and there was a little anger in his heart. Coupled with Mo Ziyao's special intention to come here, and Yuan Ling just said something that night, Mo Ziyao's tacit appearance made Gu Yanmu think of those shameless things.

Mo Ziyao still talked excitedly with Yuan Ling, but everything was so dazzling in Gu Yanmu's eyes.

A trace of haze flashed in his eyes, and he came forward and arched his hand to Yuan Ling and said, "Gu Yanmu, I don't know who you are?" As he spoke, his eyes looked at him without a trace.

Yuan Ling put away his hip-hop face and returned to a stable and calm appearance. He also arched his hand slightly and replied, "In Yuanling, it's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Gu! I just heard Yaoer mention you!"

There was no problem with this, but the meaning changed in Gu Yanmu's ears. He thought that Yuan Ling was deliberately provoking him.

Gu Yanmu returned the salute, quietly came to Mo Ziyao's side, and gently took Mo Ziyao's little hand. But his eyes never left Yuan Ling.

Mo Ziyao was shocked and struggled a little, but Gu Yanmu deliberately grabbed it more and more tightly, and she couldn't break it at all. I sighed in my heart and had to go with him.

Yuan Ling took their actions in his eyes, but he did not show any emotion, but asked in a doubtful tone, "Are you?"

Gu Yanmu smiled and said, "She is mine..."

"I'm his maidservant!" Mo Ziyao suddenly grabbed the words.

"Zi'er..." Gu Yanmu's smile froze, and he looked down at Mo Ziyao with some disappointment.

Yuan Ling looked at the two and smiled and said, "Yao'er is a good girl. You should treat her well, otherwise..." Yuan Ling suddenly stopped talking and looked down at Mo Ziyao with meaningful eyes.

"Naturally, there is no need for Mr. Yuan to worry about it." Gu Yanmu's eyes sank and interrupted in a cold voice.

After a while, Yuan Ling withdrew his eyes and made a gesture of invitation, "Brother Gu, let's not stand outside. Let's go and go into the room and talk!"

Gu Yanmu nodded. Although he had a very bad impression of Yuan Ling, he would not show it on his face, but also followed Yuan Ling into the store with a smile.

"The prince..." At this moment, a middle-aged man came out of the inner hall, standing beside Yuan Ling with a bag in his hand, and then leaned over his ear and whispered something. Yuan Ling's facial expression still hasn't changed much. After a while, he nodded and waved to the middle-aged man to leave first.

His signature smile was still on his face, "Some trivial things made Brother Gu wait for a long time. Please!"

The two followed Yuan Ling directly through the hall and went up to the second floor.

Mo Ziyao still remembers that all the way to the end is Room No. 1, and the opposite direction is Tianzi No. 1. Mo Ziyao thought about it and couldn't help turning her head to look at Room 1 of Tianzi.

Soon arrived at the door. Mo Ziyao looked up at the sign hanging on the door and said to Yuan Ling, "Mr. Yuan still lives here?"

Yuan Ling just nodded with a smile and did not answer directly. At this time, the young second child came out of the next room with a dinner plate. When he saw Yuan Ling, he suddenly came forward and bowed down respectfully and said, "Good hello, boss!" After saying that, he quickly got up and disappeared into the corridor quickly.

"It turns out that you... You are the owner of this store!?" Mo Ziyao sighed in surprise.

Yuan Ling nodded gently, which was an acknowledgment. He reached out and knocked on the door. After a while, the door opened from the inside and poked his head out. The man saw that it was Yuan Ling, so he smiled and said, "Son is back!"

Then the man in the room turned his head and began to look at Gu Yanmu and Mo Ziyao. When her eyes met Mo Ziyao, Mo Ziyao suddenly shouted excitedly, "Sister Zhaoer!"

"It's you!" Zhao'er also suddenly recognized Mo Ziyao, but she was not as excited as Mo Ziyao. She smiled kindly at Mo Ziyao and welcomed several people into the room.

Zhao'er made a cup of tea for each of the three and retreated to one side. Yuan Ling chatted with Gu Yanmu for a while. Gu Yanmu got up and asked to resign and prepared to go back to his room with Mo Ziyao.

Yuan Ling also got up to send him off, but suddenly heard the sound of slightly cracking tiles on the roof. Yuan Ling's face suddenly sank. He looked up at the roof and said in a low voice, "Who is up there!" Get out of here!"

Gu Yanmu, who was about to go out, suddenly saw a group of people in black rushing towards the room. His face changed, hurriedly withdrew his feet and quickly closed the door. As soon as the door closed, it was smashed from the outside with a bang, and several masked people with knives suddenly rushed in.

Gu Yanmu hurriedly pulled Mo Ziyao back several steps and didn't stop until he leaned against Yuan Ling. At this time, Zhaoer also pulled out a long whip from nowhere and held it tightly in her hand.

Mo Ziyao looked at the masked man who was getting closer and closer to her and clenched Gu Yanmu's big hand with some fear. Gu Yanmu also felt Mo Ziyao's nervousness. He gently patted the back of Mo Ziyao's hand and said comfort, "Zi'er, don't be afraid, I won't let you get hurt!"

Mo Ziyao bit her lip and nodded gently.

Without waiting for three people to talk more, the roof suddenly collapses and five masked people in black jumped from above. The five people jumped from the high roof and fell to the ground silently.

Yuan Ling glanced at the five people with the afterglow, and his originally cold face became more and more solemn. He raised his head slightly and said to Gu Yanmu, "Brother Gu can do martial arts?"

Gu Yanmu looked at the masked man gradually surrounding him, and his face became difficult to look and said, "I know a little. Can I borrow a weapon?"

Yuan Ling didn't say anything and directly threw the folding fan in his hand to Gu Yanmu behind him, and then he pulled out a soft sword from his waist and held it in his hand.

"Brother Gu, be careful!" His eyes flashed and looked at Mo Ziyao's slender figure and said to Zhaoer, "Xiao Zhao, protect Yao'er! Do it!"

The three of them turned their backs and sandwiched Mo Ziyao in the middle. For a while, the sound of weapons collided and the sound of fighting came one after another. Mo Ziyao stood on tiptoe anxiously and wanted to see the situation outside. Because she was too short, she could only see the back of the three people constantly shaking and gradually soaked with sweat...

Mo Ziyao held her hands tightly, but she was nervous but couldn't help anything. She bit her lips and swore secretly that if she had the opportunity, she would definitely learn some martial arts, even if she couldn't kill the enemy and protect herself, at least she didn't have to be distracted by others to protect herself.

Just when Mo Ziyao was distracted, Gu Yanmu suddenly hit the palm, and the gap was suddenly opened. A masked man in black stabbed Mo Ziyao with a knife at the right time.

"Zi'er, be careful!"

"Ah!" Mo Ziyao screamed and hurried back a few steps looking at the approaching tip of the knife until she hit Yuan Ling's back.

And when the assassin was about to stab Mo Ziyao, a sinister light suddenly flashed in his exposed eyes. He turned his blade and stabbed straight at Yuan Ling's heart.

Yuan Ling had already turned around when Mo Ziyao exclaimed. He had planned to stab her with a sword, but the masked man turned his target to himself. Yuan Ling narrowed his eyes slightly and understood that the target of these people's assassination this time was himself, and that move was just a cover.

Yuan Ling knew that Mo Ziyao was no longer in danger at this time. He looked at the tip of the knife and took a few steps back with internal force. During this time, he also stabbed the soft sword at the facade of the masked man with his backhand. The masked man was shocked and quickly turned his face to avoid Yuan Ling's blow.

At this time, Yuan Ling slightly raised his lips and cleverly picked off the man's scarf. When he saw the man's face, Yuan Ling's cold face showed a trace of coldness. He sneered and said in a low voice, "Why, my fourth brother still won't give up? Does he think he can kill me with you? Ha ha, it's so naive."

The man suddenly recognized his identity when he heard Yuan Ling. His already fierce eyes became more ferocious. He glanced at the battle situation and finally stopped his eyes on Mo Ziyao not far away. Then he stared at Yuan Ling and said, "Is that right? I don't think so, right?" After saying that, he had flashed to Mo Ziyao's side and reached out to catch Mo Ziyao, who was about to escape.

"Zi'er..." Yao'er..." Gu Yanmu and Yuan Ling said at the same time.

Gu Yanmu waved his hand to repel a masked man in front of him and dodged to Mo Ziyao. He pointed to the man holding Mo Ziyao and said in a low voice, "Let her go, or I will be rude to you!"

The man turned a deaf ear to Gu Yanmu's harsh words. He turned his head to Yuan Ling not far away and said, "As long as you are willing to hand over things over, this girl, I can let her go!"

Yuan Ling stared at the man with sharp eyes like an eagle, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, looked at him with some joking eyes, and then shook his head and said, "Oh, it's too late. Now you don't have a chance to negotiate with me! Come on!!"

As soon as Yuan Ling's voice fell, a large number of officers and soldiers suddenly poured in from outside the door, and soon surrounded the already dilapidated room.

The man looked at the officers and soldiers who suddenly poured in and lost his mind for a moment. He couldn't figure out that he had checked it before, but there was no one stationed here at all. How could he run out of so many officers and soldiers at once?
