When the sun went down, Zhu Mu's figure appeared under the county town on time. Because assassins have been recruited in the county for two consecutive days in recent days, the gate of the county has already been tightly closed at this time.
The slightly glowing sunset of Xishan barely illuminates the street.
Although it was only around seven o'clock in the evening, the people in the city and the passing tourists had already returned to their residences and extinguished the candles in the rooms. After all, there have been many strange things happening in the county and town in the past six months, and no one wants to be the next victim.
There were only a few bold young men on the street who hadn't returned home yet, and they passed by the county town in a hurry. When they saw this slim girl in front of the county town gate, they couldn't help but stop and look at it for a while.
It's just that they just stood in the distance and took a few glances in a hurry before leaving in a hurry. They have all seen the group arena during the day, and they all know that this girl's strength is something they must never provoke!
"Yo, it's been a long time."
Just when Zhu Mu was standing in front of the county gate, wondering when Lu Yang would come out of the county, Lu Yang's voice came from behind her. It turned out that this guy was not in the county at all!
Just when Zhu Mu was about to turn around and complain to Lu Yang, he found two candied haws in Lu Yang's hands.
"This is… "
Before he could finish speaking, Zhu Mu's stomach growled uncontrollably. In this quiet street, the voice can be said to be quite obvious, which is too embarrassing for a girl.
But this is also impossible!
Zhu Mu complained in his heart.
How can I say that I haven't eaten for two days! The bounty you agreed to give me in ten days! Obviously I was still looking forward to finally having a meal at night, but I waited in the residence for a long time, and I didn't even see the reward of half a dime!
Blame this nasty guy! Now he is still deliberately greedy me with candied haws! ruthless! cruel!
"Hey, let's talk about stuffing our stomach first, tonight may be a sleepless night." Lu Yang looked up at the sky at forty-five degrees, as if he was thinking about something.
Zhu Mu looked at the candied haws in Lu Yang's hand, and then at Lu Yang. This guy didn't seem so hideous anymore.
"You, you are a good person..." Taking the candied haws from Lu Yang's hand, she took a sip. She was almost moved to tears by the delicacy, but she was stubborn and couldn't help complaining about what Lu Yang just said. She stuffed the candied haws into her mouth over and over again like a jujube, and said weakly: "Sleepless nights... I advise you not to talk nonsense... Be careful, hiccup, I'm not polite to you..."
Lu Yang looked at Zhu Mu's pitiful look and sweated furiously: This guy seems to be able to trick her into doing indescribable things with a piece of candied haws!
but! As an honest gentleman, Lu Yang said that he still has self-knowledge.
After Zhu Mu ate the two candied haws, Lu Yang avoided the pleading eyes of the other party wanting to eat another candied haws, and said, "You should have heard of the strange things that have happened in Jinchan County in recent years, right?"
Zhu Mu nodded while carefully licking off the remaining hawthorn on the candied haws: "I came to Jinchan County for this purpose..."
Hearing Zhu Mu's answer, Lu Yang almost dropped his jaw in shock: "Is there such a coincidence?"
"You won't..." Zhu Mu looked at Lu Yang as if he didn't expect Lu Yang to answer her like this: "You don't recruit bodyguards just to investigate this matter, do you? But... you shouldn't..."
"What shouldn't it be?" Lu Yang asked doubtfully.
Zhu Mu looked at Lu Yang, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he swallowed the words that were on the verge of his mouth along with the candied haws: "It's nothing, I just didn't expect that you also wanted to investigate this matter."

Lu Yang looked at Zhu Mu's look that seemed to be shaking in his heart, and couldn't help frowning slightly. But this matter was quickly taken away by Lu Yang: "Since we have the same purpose, there is nothing to talk about. Let's take a look around the county after midnight. Maybe we can find some clues."
Zhu Mu nodded absently, as if he was thinking about other things.
It was too early for the time to reach zero. Although the two of them were free, they didn't have much to say. Lu Yang could see that Zhu Mu had other thoughts, and Zhu Mu could also see that Lu Yang had noticed her abnormal reaction, but the two of them never opened their mouths.
At midnight, the temperature in the county dropped a lot, and the air became slightly humid. I don't know if it's because of the end of autumn, but the restless calls of insects have disappeared in the county town, and the streets are surprisingly quiet.
The soldiers on duty at night huddled in the huts under the city wall, quietly listening to the strange sounds in the city, so that they could rush to the scene as soon as possible in case of emergency.
"Let's go, let's go to the city wall to have a look, the terrain over there is relatively high, we should be able to see everything that happened in the city clearly." Lu Yang said.
Zhu Mu nodded, and she followed the man cautiously. Although her strength was far above this ordinary man, she still chose to follow him.
Could it be that his heart was really bought by two candied haws
Zhu Mu felt that this should be impossible... right
Damn it, this guy is Lu Yang! Who knows what strange things this shameless guy will do!
Having said that, how could I still think about these things in such a dangerous county town!
Zhu Mu patted his cheek lightly to wake himself up, followed behind Lu Yang, and the two of them came to the city wall without knowing it.
Staring at the beacon tower collapsed on the ground in the distance, Zhu Mu always felt very uncomfortable.
Looking at Lu Yang who was standing on the edge of the city wall overlooking the entire county, Zhu Mu felt that she still couldn't figure out what this man was thinking, so she just slowly stood beside Lu Yang symbolically.
Jinchan County under the moonlit night was as silent as ever, as if nothing would happen tonight.
"Xiqiao, do you think this county is really haunted by monsters?"
After a long time, Lu Yang suddenly asked a question, his eyes never left the county, and his tone was as calm as ever.
"Such a strange thing, it seems that it can only be a monster."
Zhu Mu subconsciously replied casually, but the moment he said this, Zhu Mu's heart suddenly tugged, and the hand holding the dagger could not help but tremble.
Did you miss something? !
She subconsciously looked at Lu Yang and wanted to know why Lu Yang called her that suddenly.
But when she looked at Lu Yang, Lu Yang himself was stunned for a moment! !
It turned out that the other party was just testing himself symbolically! It's too simple for me to be caught by my own words!
The atmosphere between the two suddenly became awkward...
"Which beauty is Xi, Xiqiao? Ben, how come Miss Ben has never heard of it?"
"Your words are not convincing at all, hey!"
