Chapter 25: Don't Be a Knife in the Palm
The assassination happened, but as long as the person being killed is not dead, it certainly isn't the end.
This matter is not over yet, it can only be said that it has just begun.
However, when the follow-up had not yet arrived, Yang Xiaoyun arrived first.
This was not beyond Su Mo's expectations, but instead further confirmed something.
At this time, Yang Xiaoyun was at the Ziyang Escort Agency and was sitting opposite Su Mo.
But he doesn't look in a very good mood.
She frowned and looked at Su Mo: "Why didn't you tell me right away?"
"Shh!"
Su Mo looked at Uncle Fu who was walking towards him with a smile on his face, and told Yang Xiaoyun to be patient.
"Uncle Fu doesn't know yet?"
Yang Xiaoyun was stunned and fell silent.
Uncle Fu came over with two cups of tea: "Miss Yun, come and have some tea. It's not a good tea, so don't despise it."
"No, Uncle Fu."
Yang Xiaoyun stood up and said, "You don't have to be so polite. When I come here, it's like my own home. You are so polite that I feel like an outsider."
"Hahaha, yes, yes."
Uncle Fu laughed out loud: "When we were little, Miss Yun came here quite often. She brought our young master around, running . I don't know how, but you two suddenly started fighting. The young master came back crying, saying that Little Sister Yun bullied him... Hahaha, thinking about it now, her words are still fresh in my mind."
“…”
Su Mo's mouth twitched, and he glanced at Yang Xiaoyun and found that she was also a little embarrassed.
I had no choice but to say, "Uncle Fu, I want to have a chat with...Sister Xiaoyun."
"Yeah, okay, okay, then I won't bother you. Uncle Fu will go make you something delicious."
After saying that, he turned and left, and his steps seemed to have become lighter.
Yang Xiaoyun watched Uncle Fu leave, then he sighed softly: "In the past, Ziyang Escort Agency was very lively, but now only Uncle Fu is left. He worked hard to take care of the Su family for three generations, and never abandoned him when they were in poverty. In the future, we should also take care of him and see him to the end of his life."
"……Um."
Su Mo nodded slightly, and now he understood Yang Xiaoyun a little bit.
For her, this marriage contract that was made when she was young has long been regarded as a part of her life.
Marrying Su Mo was something she would definitely do.
This has nothing to do with love, it’s just because his father and Su Mo’s father had agreed on it in the past.
A man's promise is of weight to him, and one should not break it.
But... after understanding this, Su Mo felt even more strange.
But if I really want to tell you what's so weird about it, I can't put my finger on it for the moment.
Just as he was curling his lips, Yang Xiaoyun sat down again and glared at Su Mo: "Tell me, what's going on?"
"...Don't you already know that?"
Su Mo didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Someone ambushed me on my way home. Then, I killed them all."
"That's an understatement."
Yang Xiaoyun's eyebrows were raised, and she was obviously furious: "That was an assassination, and you almost lost your life."
"By the way, how did you know that?"
Su Mo decided to change the subject.
"Did you underestimate the Iron Blood Escort Agency? Yes, you are now very capable and you know how to hide your power. You were giving me a pass when you were sparring with me yesterday, right? In the narrow alley , I killed four assassins in a row. In a breath, I shocked Wu Chengfeng back. Yesterday afternoon, Wu Chengfeng sent someone to send a note, saying that from now on, he would stay away from any place where you and I were.
“It clearly explains the reason for this move!
"Combining the place where you had the conflict and where the person died, and then doing a little research, is there anything you don't understand?"
Yang Xiaoyun sneered at this: "Why, Master Su is so powerful in martial arts, are you going to blame me for meddling in your business now ?"
The corner of Su Mo's mouth twitched. This Wu Chengfeng was actually a quick-talker.
However, this guy did what he said. He said he would not get entangled, and he did it so vigorously and decisively. However, Su Mo could not help but wonder whether Wu Chengfeng had wanted to give up a long time ago?
After all, even if you are made of iron, how many beatings can you withstand?
Seeing Yang Xiaoyun filled with anger, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "I know that you are an excellent spearman, but I didn't expect that your verbal skills are just as good as the bright silver spear in your hand."
"...You still dare to joke?"
Yang Xiaoyun stood up with a whoosh.
"No more, no more."
Su Mo had no choice but to pick up the teacup: "Drink tea, drink tea."
"snort."
Yang Xiaoyun sat down angrily, picked up the teacup and drank a mouthful, then said: "Do you have any thoughts about the person behind this?"
“It’s hard to say.”
Su Mo sighed: "Maybe I am blocking someone's way?"
This matter is actually not difficult to guess. You just need to consider who will benefit after Su Mo's death.
And considering that Su Mo has remained unknown so far, there is probably only one possibility that could have led to his fatal disaster.
He set his sights on Yang Xiaoyun.
"Are they the ones who can't give birth to a son? They know that you and I are engaged, and your existence is blocking Wu Chengfeng's way, so they want you to die?"
Yang Xiaoyun sneered: "Let's go!"
"Where are you going?"
" Go find Wu Chengfeng and ask him who gave Wu Daoyou such a sinister idea. If he doesn't know, let's go ask Wu Daoyou.
“No matter how you look at it, this matter has nothing to do with them.
"We have to get to the bottom of this!"
As he spoke, he reached for the silver spear with one hand and tried to grab Su Mo with the other.
"Slow down, slow down."
Su Mo waved his hand: "I think it's better not to act rashly on this matter."
"How can you still sit still? This is urgent! "
Yang Xiaoyun found that she really didn't recognize the man in front of her. Now he was sitting here drinking tea calmly after being assassinated just now, while she was extremely anxious.
"The fire hasn't even reached my eyebrows yet."
Su Mo asked Yang Xiaoyun to sit down: "I am still alive, right?"
"You are still alive now, but if they fail to kill you once, they will most likely kill you a second time. And the second time will certainly be more difficult to guard against than the first time. Moreover, there is no such thing as a thief who can steal for a thousand days. If you are not careful, you will be in danger of death!"
“So, I have to be more cautious next time.”
"Be more cautious?"
Yang Xiaoyun was stunned, and then became angry: "Are you waiting for their second assassination? Xiaomo, don't treat your life as a joke!"
"It is precisely because I don't want to treat my life as a joke that I must not act rashly."
Su Mo said: "At least, we should not be reckless when the person behind the scenes has not surfaced yet. Otherwise, it will not only be useless, but it is more likely that we will become a knife in the hands of others."
"Hmm? What on earth are you thinking?"
"As for this matter, I am just a small escort who doesn't bother anyone. Killing me is definitely not their purpose. What they really want is what they can gain by killing me."
Su Mo twitched his lips: "I just had a conflict with Wu Chengfeng, and then I died in a dark alley. If it were you, what would you think first?"
"Was it Wu Chengfeng who did it?"
Yang Xiaoyun frowned slightly.
"Yeah... that's a normal thought. But they miscalculated one thing. They thought my martial arts skills were not good enough, so they sent four assassins. I should have died quickly and neatly. But I didn't die... I didn't die, so I knew something."
Su Mo picked up the teapot and poured another cup of tea for Yang Xiaoyun: "Wu Chengfeng certainly had a conflict with me, but the assassins came too quickly, it couldn't be his work. If that's the case, is there someone behind the scenes trying to frame him? Is there... someone else trying to reap the benefits?"
There are eight leaders of the Luofeng Alliance, and there are two in each of the four major cities.
Except for the Grand Leader Wei Ruhan, the other seven people vying for the position of Grand Leader naturally regarded each other as thorns in their eyes.
There is also a master from Lengyue Palace who has become a potential rival. If she is also interested in the position of the leader, no one knows what she will do?
Wu Daoyu wanted to form an alliance with the Tiexue Escort Agency, but no matter whether it succeeded or not, it was something that others did not want to see.
In this case, there are too many possibilities for this matter.
Su Mo is not a man without temper. After being assassinated, he can still sit here and drink tea peacefully.
The main thing is...if you want to return it, you at least have to know who did it, right?
He went back to fight back without knowing what was going on, thinking himself to be so powerful, but in fact he was nothing more than a knife in the hands of others.
