Chapter 14 Ai Lu is gone

Seeing that there were so many treasures in the secret room, Xu Mu had to take off all the armor. The plan that he had originally planned to leave secretly in the armor was invalid. Now he was going to start rummaging for the easy-to-carry property in the secret room.

However, there are no coins in the secret room, all of which are valuable items, and most of them are not suitable for Xu Mu to carry with him.

For example, the Golden Sword, Xu Mu gritted his teeth and decided not to bring it. Although he was reluctant to let it go, he knew that he would definitely not be able to take it out.

Xu Mu mainly took gems and jewelry, and these things are of great value anyway.

Ai Lu said before that the property in the secret room should be at least less than 100 gold coins. It seems that she is not clear about the situation, because the treasures in the entire secret room are all combined, and it will definitely exceed 500 gold coins!

The more Xu Mu put his treasures in his pocket, the less uncomfortable he felt inside.

Could it be that he can take away the remaining treasure in the future? Will he leave it to bastards like Count Oli? Do you want to be cheaper outsiders?

The more I thought about it, the more angry he became. Xu Mu packed up the things and pried off all the magic crystals in the running.

His arms and waist were bulging, but Xu Mu looked back and saw that there were so many treasures in the secret room that he couldn't take out, so he gritted his teeth.

Since I can't take it away, you bastards won't be cheap!

Xu Mu returned to the bedroom and dragged the carpet in, then lit it with candlelight. He wanted to burn the entire secret room and bedroom!

Seeing the flames getting bigger and bigger, Xu Mu couldn't help but smile on his cold face.

I don’t have it, and you have to have it!

As for whether the entire house will be burned?

What does that have to do with me? He just won’t tell Ai Lu about this anyway.

Back in the bedroom, Xu Mu came to the window and looked down. Ai Lu had said before that there was a wall in the backyard that was broken by her. It was the passage where she and her brother escaped to play when she was a child.

The fire in the secret room is getting bigger and bigger, and black smoke has spread into the bedroom. I believe that someone will find that it is on fire soon, so he has to leave quickly!

Xu Mu was very happy to accept the height of the second floor. He opened the window and was ready to jump down. When he landed, he rolled away the gravity impact and landed safely.

"who!"

Unexpectedly, there was a team of guards patrolling nearby. They saw a man wearing a short robe and hood in Ailu's yard, so why wasn't they surprised?

Xu Mu glanced at him gently, ignored him and ran towards the wall that Ai Lu said.

Seeing this, the guards hurriedly followed and wanted to catch Xu Mu, but a sharp-eyed guard noticed something strange on the second floor.

"Captain! The second floor is on fire!"

"What?!"

Seeing the thick black fog coming from the windows of the second floor house, the leader stopped and looked at Xu Mu's escaped back. He snorted angrily and said, "Come on to put out the fire quickly! And you, hurry up and order the city lock! First solve the fire, and then turn the town around. Be sure to catch this sneaky guy!"

When Xu Mu found the hole covered by the grass, he went over without saying a word. When he turned around, he saw that the guards did not follow him, and guessed that he was going to put out the fire.

But Xu Mu was not relieved. Now he had to meet with Sreta immediately and leave, otherwise he would have to stay in this town for one more second, and there might be a little more accident!

Now that Ai Lu has received the book requested, the treasure he took away is worth more than Ai Lu's head of money, Xu Mu is content.

When he came to the city gate, he found Sreta. Seeing Xu Mu was sweating profusely, he looked anxious, and his clothes were bulging, and he seemed to have gained a lot.

Seeing that Xu Mu was safe and sound, Sreta felt relieved. She was always worried about her luggage in front of the city gate.

When the two met, they didn't say much, so Xu Mu took Sreta's little hand and ran away.

When leaving town, Sreta greeted the city gate guards whom he met a few days ago.

The guard looked at the brother and sister who were leaving anxiously and couldn't help but shake his head. He couldn't help but miss the days he lived in the village.

"The Count has an order to lock the city for three days!"

An armored guard with Earl Oli's emblem came with a document, and he shouted to the city gate guard who was in a daze: "The Earl's family just set fire to a man wearing a short robe and a hooded hood. The Earl is now furious! Remember, if you see a man wearing a brown robe and a hooded hood later, stop him immediately!"

The city gate guard was in a daze when he suddenly heard what the guard said, and he couldn't help but be shocked: "What did you say?!"

...

On the way back, Xu Mu told Sreita about the gains he had obtained from Ailu's house. Of course, he didn't say about setting fires. After all, education should be started from childhood, and it would be better if he had one such bad one.

Of course, he was not afraid that Sreta would tell Ai Lu that Xu Mu set fire to Ai Lu's house...

Seeing that Xu Mu had such great gains, Sreta was naturally happy. Wherever he went in the future, he could do anything with such a sum of money, so they didn't have to worry about living expenses.

Xu Mu and Sreta rushed back to the forest where Ailu was. The two of them were fumbled through the marks they had left before. Not long after, they returned to the place where the three of them had previously hidden.

But there were no wormwood on the dead wooden stakes, and there were messy footprints on the wet ground, and their horse was fully equipped and tied to the tree next to it.

Even the bonfire is still burning.

Sreta didn't dare to shout when she noticed something was wrong. She touched the simple shed and found that Ai Lu was not inside. She couldn't help panic: "Brother, Ai Lu sister..."

In fact, Xu Mu's mood began to become very bad when he came out of town because Ai Lu had concealed the facts before, which led to the risk of commissioning not being as simple as he imagined.

You should know that the king even had to frame his nobles for the book Ai Lu mentioned. Moreover, Earl Oli had to find the book. With the state that he wanted to copy the town, it was obvious how much the kingdom attached to the books of the Ai Lu family.

He originally wanted to go back here and have a good conversation with Ai Lu, return the books to her, and then clear the two of them, and Xu Mu took Sreta away.

Although this is a bit ruthless, after all, the two of them are friends in a month, but Xu Mu doesn't like the feeling of being deceived, especially this kind of deception may even threaten his and Sreta's lives.

But when he returned to the hiding point, Ai Lu disappeared...

Xu Mu bent down to check the footprints on the ground, and soon frowned.

Sreta was waiting next to Xu Mu, not daring to show off.

The wind blew, and the leaves fell to the ground.

After thinking for a long time, Xu Mu sighed and seemed to have decided something. He took down the treasure on his body and stuffed it into Sreita's hand. Then he took down all the spare equipment on the horse and stuffed the remaining property on the horse's camel bag.

Sreta held the golden treasure in her hand, and she looked at Xu Mu with a strange expression and asked, "Brother, what are you doing?"

"You lead the horse and take these things away immediately." Xu Mu ordered in a cold tone.

"Where is Sreta waiting for her brother?"

"Don't wait for Sister Ailu and I. Be careful in the future. These things are enough for you to find a place to live a peaceful life."

"Ah?" Sreta panicked, "Brother, do you want Sreta anymore..."

Xu Mu's cold eyes made Sreita shut up immediately, and he said coldly: "Now I don't need you anymore, leave this soon!"

"Brother..." Sreta's eyes widened, his face full of incredible.

"Go away quickly!"

Xu Mu took off the reins of the horse and tied it to Sreta's hand, and even slapped Sreta's head hard. Sreta's tears fell down in pain.

"Brother...I don't want money, can I stay?"

"Go away!" Xu Mu roared, picked up Sreita and threw it on the horse's back. Then he slapped the horse's butt, and the horse carried Sreita away.

Sreta turned around and looked at Xu Mu's cold face on the horse, opened her mouth and wanted to call for something, but in the end she didn't say anything.

After the horse and Sreta left, Xu Mu unshelfed the one-handed sword on the ground, held the hilt tightly in his hand, and ran towards the spread of the messy footprints.

Xu Mu looked at the footprints carefully in front of them. There were four people's footprints, one of which was Ai Lu's, and the other three people of different sizes, but the main one was one of them, which was very deep in the soil...

This shows that one person has a full pair of heavy armor, and it is estimated that the other two people can't find any equipment... In a world without guns and hot weapons, people wearing heavy armor are like tanks. If there is no magic to deal with it, few people can target them completely.

After Xu Mu's investigation and speculation, Ai Lu was afraid that someone would have been discovered, so she was chased out by the three of them.

After all, this is not far from the town, so it is not surprising that someone accidentally comes here.

Is it really that Xu Mu and the other two are unlucky?

Xu Mu's cold eyes under his hood had no feelings.

If someone asks Xu Mu, is he confident of dealing with three enemies? Especially one of them may be a person with full armor.

His answer is very simple, it is impossible.

In fact, just now, Xu Mu could have taken the treasure and left with Sreta, ignoring Ailu's life and death.

Xu Mu knew completely that he could do this, but he couldn't.

People die for money, and birds die for food.

The reason is this reason, but how to live and live is the choice he wants to make.

After Xu Mu realized this world that was so bad that he could not be more terrible, his courage became great. It was not that he had grown up, but that he knew that he could work hard to do anything.

But fighting hard does not mean that you don’t care about your own life, but it is for your own life. Therefore, you have to do your best to act when dealing with anything.

If you abandon Ai Lu just now, Xu Mu really can't do it...

This is a matter of principle. Xu Mu will work hard to do what he promised others and do what he can do, although this principle is not valuable.

But it was because of this entangled inner emotion that he proved that he was not a walking corpse when he came to this world, he was a living person, and he could not accept that his friend who had lived with him for more than a month died.

Ai Lu is one of the few kind people Xu Mu has seen in this world. She is gentle and friendly to others without any aristocratic airs. Although she occasionally has a little temper and stubbornness, she always tries to consider others as much as possible.

Although Ai Lu deceived him and did not tell him something on purpose, he was indeed very angry!

However, how to punish Ai Lu has to decide, as a friend!

So even if it is life or death, he has to investigate it clearly! Even if he is fighting for his own life!

If there is nothing wrong with Ai Lu, it would be best if Ai Lu died, even if he robs him, he would have to snatch Ai Lu's body!
