Chapter 73: Assassinations On Festooned Street (2/2)

As Qin Mu walked down the street, his heart was bewildered when he saw such a sight. There was quite a number of divine arts practitioners who came to hunt him down from the City Lord's Manor but they had all died without a sound in the crowd.

”Who are the people helping me? Are they the Heavenly Devil Cult? Does Heavenly Devil Cult have such a great power in the city?”

He came to the inn and was about to go in when he suddenly saw Blind.

Beside the inn was a gambling den and Blind was currently being carried out by two men in black, he was then thrown onto the floor.

Qin Mu immediately went over and Blind had climbed up by himself. He patted his butt and shouted towards the gambling den, ”My bamboo cane!”

The doors of the gambling den creaked opened and a bamboo cane was thrown out that hit Blind's head.

Blind picked up his bamboo cane and smiled, ”I'm unlucky this time. I promise that next time all of you won't see how I cheat. I will definitely win back all my money! Mu'er, is it you? Come to say, I've met quite an interesting sight today, I saw a big hen dressing up prettily and going out to have fun. There was also a small rooster following her to have fun.”

Qin Mu was bewildered, ”They are just two birds, what's so weird about them? Grandpa Blind, let us return to the inn.”

When both of them returned to the inn, Granny Si's astonished cry sounded out. Qin Mu immediately barged in to see Granny Si holding up a coin pouch in astonishment.

Qin Mu stared blankly and immediately pushed the window opened. Looking outside, he still saw the silver dragons transformed from the Great Educational Heavenly Devil Scriptures fighting with the strong practitioners outside. Turning his head back, he still saw Granny Si in the room, making him very puzzled.

”Could it be that the Cult Mistress I've met in the City Lord's Manor isn't Granny Si?”

Qin Mu's heart grew increasingly puzzled and he smiled, ”Did granny just return? I've brought some food back for you and Grandpa Blind.” He then took out the oil paper and placed it on the table to open it up.

Granny Si's blurry eyes revealed a moved expression and she sat down, trembling. She smiled and said, ”Mu'er sure is filial. What's going on with that sack of dragon coins?”

Qin Mu looked at her eyes and was bewildered. Granny Si's gaze was very similar to the Cult Mistress's gaze. Even the smell of the rouge was the same.

However, why were there still silver dragons transformed by the Great Educational Heavenly Devil Scriptures?

He composed himself and told them about his encounter in the little alley.

Granny Si had a queer expression as she stammered, ”Y-you use a single dragon coin to earn over three thousand dragon coins? If granny knew that you had so much money earlier, I would have gone and indulged myself instead of going to look for a free meal.”

Qin Mu told them about how he met the beautiful woman in the City Lord's Manor and said, ”Granny, I have killed the City Lord's son, it isn't suitable for us to stay here for long, we need to leave as soon as possible!”

Granny Si pulled out the jade hairpin from her head and beckoned her hand, suddenly a fine thread came flying in from outside. This thread automatically coiled themselves around the jade hairpin and turned into a ball of thread in just a few seconds. She threw the ball of thread into her basket and smiled, ”I've turned the Border Dragon City Lord's Mistress into a cow and you've killed their son, he sure is unlucky. However, there are more unlucky things waiting for him. He has committed too much evil and karma is waiting to strike. Since you have earned these dragon coins, you can keep them for yourself, they may be of use in the future.”

World shaking roars came from outside, among them was Venerable Hei shouting, ”Cult Mistress has escaped!”

”Quickly search all the areas and all of you must search her out!”

”Outside is filled with darkness, the demoness couldn't have escaped out of the city!”

…

Blind leaned his ears to hear the commotion outside and suddenly said, ”That little general with the surname Qin is staying here and not leaving. With the topographic map of Surging River, he's clearly waiting for Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor. Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor is planning to move his army into Great Ruins. Border Dragon City would be the first to bear the brunt. Since little General Qin is staying in City Lord's Manor, it means that Border Dragon City Lord Fu Yundi had come to terms with him. When the time comes, Border Dragon City would be the first stronghold for them to invade Great Ruins. This city is very big and could hold up to ten thousand soldiers and horses.”

Granny Si beamed, ”Therefore Fu Yundi have to die.”

Blind nodded his head and said, ”He must die. Mu'er has killed his son so if Mu'er leaves the city, he will definitely catch up to him. That would be the day he dies. Great Ruins isn't a place where Imperial Preceptor can set his foot in so he better scram back where he had come from.”

Qin Mu looked at Blind and then looked at Granny Si. He didn't know what they were planning.

However, it was also weird. Granny Si had never brought Blind into the city in the past yet she brought him this time. Qin Mu had thought nothing about this earlier but now that he was thinking about it, there was something strange going on here.

If Blind was always in the gambling den and didn't leave, how did he know what had happened in the City Lord's Manor?

Or was Blind in the City Lord's Manor as well?

”Sleep early, Mu'er. Maybe granny will become the Border Dragon City Lord tomorrow!”

Qin Mu slept outside while Granny Si slept in the inner room. Just as Qin Mu was getting sleepy, he suddenly heard Granny Si rolling on her bed and whispering to herself, ”I'm so excited that I can't sleep! Not only will I be bringing home the dragon pillars of Border Dragon City, the whole city will have the surname Si tomorrow! This is bad, I really can't fall asleep, hee hee hee hee…”
