Chapter 179 Assassination

When entering the street, Su Qiwen turned around and said to Su Yue.

"Okay, then you guys be careful." Su Yue nodded in response. She just wanted to have a good stroll.

This is her first year here.

"Well, then I'll leave my sister to you." Su Qiwen reminded Murong Li again.

Murong Li: "Don't worry."

Only then did Su Qiwen go after Su Qicheng and the others.

Su Yue is curious about everything. Since Su Qiwen and the others are not together anymore, she is not worried about delaying their viewing.

She would stop and look at everything she saw, and Murong Li would silently stay by her side. As long as she wanted to buy something, he would buy it for her.

Su Yue experienced the feeling of being in love, but they were about to get married, and their relationship was too short, so she hadn't really experienced it yet.

"Murong Li, look, there are clay figurines here."

The two walked to a clay figurine stall. Su Yue looked very excited and immediately squatted down to look at the lifelike clay figurines that had been made and stuck with bamboo sticks.

"Girl, do you want one?"

The stall owner was an old man in his sixties. He asked Su Yue with a smile on his face, the wrinkles on his face squeezed into shallow grooves.

"Yuer, do you want to buy one or make one?" Murong Li immediately squatted down and asked her.

"Well, let's make two, one each." Su Yue nodded heavily.

When she said this, the poem "Wo Nong Ci" immediately appeared in her mind.

You and I love each other so much.

Love is as hot as fire.

Twist you and shape me.

Break us both together,

Mix with water.

Make another you and another me.

You are in my mud, and I am in your mud.

You and I,

Born under the same quilt,

Died in the same coffin.

Bah, bah, bah... Su Yue slapped her mouth suddenly. It was New Year's Day and it was life or death.

That was written by Zhao Meng's wife. She didn't want to be a shrew like Guan Daosheng. Murong Li could do whatever he wanted in the future. If he dared to bring some concubines back, she would break his legs first, then make those women stupid, and then run away.

The world is so big, she wanders around.

"Oh, then Master, please make one for each of us."

Murong Li looked at Su Yue who was slapping herself inexplicably, and felt a little uneasy. He touched her elbow and then said to the old man who was making clay figures.

"Okay, please wait a moment, gentlemen."

The old man nodded, put down the work in his hands, took a look at each person and started kneading.

Su Yue came back to her senses after being touched by Murong Li. She looked at him with a smile, and then watched the old man making clay figures.

I saw his rough hands deftly pinching here and there, and soon a model of a little man appeared. Then he used his fingernails to outline the eyebrows, eyes, nose and mouth...

Murong Li felt uneasy when he saw Su Yue's look. He didn't know why she suddenly became like this. He scratched his head, thinking that he should not have said anything wrong or done anything wrong?

Seeing Su Yue so focused, he also focused on watching the old man making clay figures.

Soon, two lifelike clay figures appeared: a smaller version of Su Yue and a smaller version of Murong Li, which looked so similar.

The two of them each held their own clay figurine, looking at it in their hands and unable to let go.

"Master, how much is it?" Murong Li asked.

"Sir, please give me twenty cents. This thing is not worth much." The old man said with a smile.

"Give me two taels."

Su Yue listened and said nonchalantly that the clay figurines made by the old man were not valuable, but their clay statues were valuable.

Murong Li smiled dotingly, took out two taels of silver and put them in the dazed old man's hand. The two of them stood up and left hand in hand.

The old man came to his senses and looked at the two people's backs as they left. He opened his mouth to call them back, but they had already disappeared into the crowd.

The old man looked at the two taels of silver in his hand and felt a little puzzled. There are people who think that the things they buy are cheap. Weird things happen every year, and he encountered it on the first day of this year.

But who would complain about having too much silver? The old man immediately put the silver in his pocket and continued to make clay figures.

The two of them walked around for the whole morning. At noon, Su Yue burped. She had eaten too much. She had been walking around and eating all morning.

"Murongli, let's find a place to rest. We can't walk anymore."

Su Yue hung on Murong Li's arm and cried, saying that her legs were sore.

"Do you want me to carry you?"

Su Yue glared at him. This man was becoming less and less like an ancient person. Here, engaged couples could still meet before getting married, but things like holding hands and kissing were absolutely impossible. If someone saw them, they would be beaten to death or drowned in spit.

It is immoral.

The two of them holding hands on the street has attracted a lot of people's attention. Today is the first day of the new year, everyone is happy, and there are unmarried men and women like them, so it did not cause public outrage.

Murong Li touched the tip of his nose and looked around. He saw a stall in front of the alley with a few small stools in front of it, but no one was there.

He took Su Yue's hand and walked towards the stall. When they arrived, he directly gave the stall owner a dime and they each sat on a stool.

The stall owners were a young couple. Seeing that they looked like this, they must be tired and came to rest. The male stall owner took the money without saying a word.

Su Yue lowered her head and rubbed her ankles with both hands. They were so sore.

“Swoosh!”

Suddenly, two sounds of breaking through the air were heard.

Su Yue turned her head to see what was flying towards them, but before she knew it, Murong Li grabbed it and dodged to the opposite wall.

“Swish!”

As the two men jumped away, two arrows pierced directly into the stool they were sitting on, and the arrow tails were still shaking.

“Ahh…”

The stall owner and his wife screamed in fear and sat down on the ground.

"Leave now!"

Murong Li shouted at the young couple and threw some silver to the male stall owner, a total of ten taels.

The male stall owner looked at the silver at his feet, grabbed the silver and put it in his arms, then pulled his wife who was trembling with fear on the ground and ran quickly out of the alley.

Murong Li simply picked up Su Yue and went into the alley next to him. There was no one in the alley.

After the two entered, several men in black appeared at the entrances of the alleys on both sides, holding bows and arrows, and approached them step by step.

Murong Li looked up at the walls on both sides. The walls were not very high and he could jump over them using light skills.

But he did not jump up in time, but he and Su Yue stared at the man in black at the other end.

They wanted to know who had sent them to kill them.

"Yuer, can you get one into the space?"

Murong Li asked Su Yue in a low voice.

"Yes, but we have to knock him out, which will hurt his brain."

Knocking someone unconscious would damage their brain, and she wasn't sure if they could ask for what they wanted after they woke up.

"Then you go in first. I'll take out these people by myself and capture one alive."

"Can you do it alone?"

Murong Li smiled evilly: "How can Yue'er question whether your husband is capable?"
