Recently, all the officials in the capital city have been unable to eat.

They would even be awakened from their dreams by fear. Almost everyone was terrified and hid all their jewelry and valuables.

And all this was because of the man who would appear over the capital city from time to time.

Today, the figure of that man passed through the sky again. He was wearing a nightgown. It was obviously just a simple nightgown, but when he wore it, it inexplicably made him look taller than ordinary people.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing was the mask on his face.

A mask that only covered the upper half of his face, revealing the lower half of his face, which was smooth and white, with red lips and white teeth, and a hint of indescribable evil.

He flew across the sky like a crow in the night sky, and then took out the nine-turn glass ball he got today from his pocket.

"So, this is the nine-turn glass bead?"

Hua Chaodu placed the glass bead in front of his eyes, letting the moonlight shine through it.

Under the moonlight, the glass bead was crystal clear, without a trace of mixed colors, like a piece of ice that had never melted.

"Just for such a glass bead, Lord Ge killed a family of 37 people." Hua Chaodu's mouth turned up a cold smile, "Lord Ge, you are really amazing."

He remembered the arrogant look of Lord Ge when he spoke to him in the court during the day, and the faint contempt in his eyes when he looked at him. These eyes made him gradually murderous.

However...

during the day, Hua Chaodu had no way to take action against him.

Because he had too many cronies in the court, if he rashly took action against him, the court would be unstable.

But at night, this rule would no longer exist.

Since the shopkeeper handed him the mask, many things that he could not do before can now be done by Hua Chaodu.

And Hua Chaodu does not have to worry about being resisted in the same way as during the day.

This mask is the best pass. Now there are stories everywhere in the world of martial arts about the descendants of thieves returning to the world, and using this identity to do things, almost all the martial arts people who originally hated the court would applaud.

Hua Chaodu has obtained more information related to the world of martial arts, which he has never been able to get before.

Even the common people would not say anything. Hua Chaodu has been unimpeded recently, and has successively eliminated several people in the court who he had always wanted to get rid of but had been unable to do so.

"Since Lord Ge said that this Nine-Turn Glazed Bead is not in your hand, then I throw it in front of the patrol officer. What will the old man say?" Hua Chaodu sneered.

However, the thought in his mind only flashed by, and suddenly a strange movement woke him up.

He immediately looked in a direction.

"Who?"

"Don't be nervous." After a while, a man walked out of the bushes next to him.

"It's me."

Under the moonlight, a person's face gradually appeared.

It was a particularly handsome man.

The man was very tall, with sharp eyebrows, sharp eyes and sharp features. Although he looked a little unkempt, it was undeniable that this unkempt appearance did not make him look ugly. Instead, it gave him a warm and lazy aura.

"It's you again."

Hua Chaodu sneered, "Didn't I say last time..."

"If you dare to follow me, I will make you die without a burial place?"

The unkempt man said with a guilty conscience, "I don't always follow you either."

"It's just that." He glanced at the glass ball in Hua Chaodu's hand, "It's the nine-turn glass ball of the prince's tutor, you even stole this thing, Ge San is different from others, he is particularly insidious, and he holds grudges, if he knows it was you who did it, he will definitely target you."

"It seems that you followed me all the way to the tutor's mansion." Hua Chaodu's expression was very cold.

"Ahem." The man lowered his head and coughed twice, not daring to look up at Hua Chaodu, but Hua Chaodu stared at him for a long time, and then suddenly revealed a faint smile from the corner of his mouth.

"If you could learn to be smarter, maybe you wouldn't have to deal with so much trouble now."

"Sometimes, I don't want to find trouble, but it comes to me on its own." The unkempt man said lazily.

Before he finished speaking, he heard the man in front of him say, "Don't follow me anymore. If you continue to follow me, you will easily get into trouble."

"Besides, my identity is not to be exposed... It's not something that people like you can find out."

The unkempt man was slightly stunned after hearing this.

Hua Chaodu didn't care about his reaction. He was about to leave after he finished speaking.

It was almost dawn, and he had to go back quickly to change clothes and attend the morning court. If he was late, he would be ridiculed by many officials in the court.

However, before Hua Chaodu could walk out, he heard the man behind him calling him.

"Actually... you have a kind heart. Although your words are always a little harsh, I know that you take great risks every time you do those things, but you always act as if it doesn't matter."

Hua Chaodu, who was about to leave, suddenly stopped.

He turned his head, as if he heard something incredible.

"Me, kind?"

Hua Chaodu laughed.

His voice became louder and louder, and he seemed to be dizzy from laughing.

Hua Chaodu's laughter was actually very pleasant, as pleasant as a silver bell, and the face with a hint of evil suddenly became full of evil.

However, this time, the man who was stared at with such a mocking look did not retreat at all.

He still looked at Hua Chaodu with that serious look.

That expression was particularly serious, as if he was talking about the most serious thing in the world.

... After a few seconds, Hua Chaodu's face suddenly lost all expression.

He turned around and walked forward with an expressionless face.

The person he left behind was a little panicked. He didn't know how he had angered the other party, but he could only scratch his ears and cheeks anxiously.

The man was struggling on the spot for a long time, and suddenly a very soft sentence came from the wind, almost making people think it was an illusion.

"If you want to solve your recent big trouble, you must go to Nanyu Town in Jiangnan to find an innkeeper..."

"The owner has a very strange temper and personality, but she is a good person. If you want her to help, you can only beg her with the most sincere attitude."

"What?" The unkempt man was a little stunned.

Logically speaking, his trouble must be big, but why would the person in front of him ask him to find an innkeeper?

"The innkeeper... has connections everywhere." He heard the masked man in front of him slowly say.

"If she says you die, then you die. If she lets you live, then you live."

"She can... control my life or death?"

"Go ahead, remember to tell me my name when you get there." Hua Chaodu said lightly.

"My name is Hua Jing."

After he finished speaking, his figure flashed and disappeared from this place, leaving the man standing there stupidly.

"Hua Jing..."

These two words were slowly chewed in the mouth of the unkempt man.

Then, he suddenly laughed.

...

After a period of chaos, the inn finally regained its former tranquility.

Chu Changzui and Li Qi walked around the inn and then walked back.

Thanks to the heavy rain, the woman left no trace along the way.

"No one will notice this, right?" Chu Changzui said.

"Others may not, but... someone will definitely." Li Qi said lightly.

"Ah, that Dongchang eunuch." Chu Changzui had a headache, "Forget it, it's not uncommon for him to notice me, and I didn't intend to hide it from him."

The two returned to the inn and looked at each other.

"The woman from the Western Regions, she is very skilled, wearing a red dress, and has a lot of valuable jewelry on her body..." Chu Changzui said slowly, "Is it her?"

"Yes." Li Qi didn't say much, just said lightly.

Chu Changzui sighed.

"Sure enough, I was wondering why the stars looked like that that day."

According to the stars Chu Changzui saw in the sky that day, a star from the Western Regions fell into their inn.

And Li Qijin then inquired about the saint of Ji Youhai escaping from the Western Regions.

These two things were too coincidental, so the two had to think a little more.

The saint who escaped from Ji Youhai was named An Huoshaxi, and this name was very famous in the Western Regions.

This woman was more terrifying than a desert snake.

The people in the Central Plains had heard of the sects in the Western Regions. For a long time, no one knew why the people there were so fearless and fearless, like a group of beasts, but after a long time, after everyone inquired about the situation in the Western Regions, they roughly understood.

"Why did she come to find the shopkeeper?" Chu Changzui said.

"I don't know." Li Qi shook his head, "But we can't take it lightly."

"Although she came to seek refuge with the shopkeeper, she may not be a good person. If she wants to harm the shopkeeper, it will be bad."

Chu Changzui paused slightly after hearing this.

After a long time, he turned his head and said in a slow tone, "I think you think too much about this."

"Why?" Li Qi was a little puzzled.

"Whether she is a good person or not is actually not important at all."

Chu Changzui said in a tone that was taken for granted and very proud, "Could it be that our shopkeeper is a good person?"

...

An Huoshaxi opened her eyes in a daze.

At this time, the sound of thunder and lightning around had disappeared.

Her body was warm, covered with a brand new quilt, and her wet clothes had been changed, but she noticed that the knife she usually kept at her side was gone.

This made her feel a little uneasy, because in Jiyouhai, the knife is life.

A person without a knife is like a beast with its claws pulled out.

So she got out of bed and prepared to look for the knife.

However, just as Anhuo Shaxi got up, she suddenly discovered something.

- The painful feeling that had been tormenting her had disappeared.

Anhuo Shaxi was surprised to feel this long-lost peace.

She had no anger, no uneasiness, no desire to kill people at any time. She was as calm as the stones that were always silent underground.

Just when she was at a loss, a person's voice came from outside.

"It's time to take medicine." A woman walked in from outside.

A head of long hair covered the woman's eyes.

Is she the one who saved me? Anhuo Shaxi carefully looked at the woman in front of her.

"You are in good health." The woman said, "Just one pill will cure the disease."

Anhuo Shaxi realized something in an instant. She looked at the woman in front of her, and her eyes gradually became eager.

However, the person in front of her seemed to have not noticed at all, and still put a white pill and a glass of water in front of her.

"You...you need me to do something." Anhuo Shaxi didn't even look at the pill, but said excitedly.

In the oracle, the goddess pointed out the direction for them to move forward, told them what they should do next, and how to guard their home.

But she has lived in the Sea of ​​Tranquility for so many years, and she can do almost nothing except killing people. Will the goddess hate her for this?

No, she won't.

An Huoshaxi thought that the goddess should also need her believers to clear the obstacles in front of her. The Central Plains is not all peaceful. Although the people here look much more peaceful than those in the Western Regions, many people have demons hidden in their hearts.

If she is needed to clear those obstacles... then she can set off at any time.

An Huoshaxi looked at the person in front of her, and a murderous aura slowly emerged from her body.

She looked at the person in front of her and looked at her quietly for a long time, and then slowly smiled.

This smile is like the smile of the grandmother who raised An Huoshaxi from childhood and taught her how to survive and how to kill when she was still in Jiyouhai.

An Huoshaxi thought that in the next second, the person in front of her would ask her to take out a knife and kill someone. Just the thought made her tremble with excitement.

However, the next second, the smile on the face of the person in front of her completely disappeared and turned into a poker face.

"I need you to take the medicine quickly." The man pushed her back to the bed.

"Also, go to sleep quickly after taking it."
