Around him, a gust of cold wind blew, causing Wu Gou’s back to feel cold.
Turning his head, Wu Gou realized that the cloth covering the mirror had been blown off by the wind.
When he turned around and subconsciously stared at the mirror, he realized that his face was reflected in the mirror.
That face had a strange smile, but his eyes were cold and sinister.
Wu Gou suddenly put down his hands, his expression extremely dull as he slowly walked in front of the mirror.
The words no longer appeared on his body. The book and brush in his hand fell to the ground, but he did not feel anything.
The face in the mirror still had a strange smile on it, as if it was mocking or looking at a prey.
The next moment, Wu Gou suddenly stretched out his hand and made a strange gesture.
He picked up the mirror in front of him and threw it on the ground with all his strength.
The crisp sound of something breaking rang out, especially in the pitch-black night, causing one’s heart to tremble.
It was not just his house. The sound of mirrors shattering could be heard everywhere in the yamen where people lived.
After smashing the mirror, Wu Gou squatted on the ground and picked up one of the fragments.
At this moment, his face was no longer dull, but replaced by the strange smile in the mirror.
Her smile was emotionless and eerie.
Wu Gou held the mirror fragment and slowly raised his hand. He placed the fragment on his face and gently slid it.
The sliding motion was very gentle, as if he was applying a layer of rouge on himself, but what was left was blood.
The blood flowed along the mirror fragment, then along his hand, and finally dripped down from his chin.
Wu Gou didn’t feel anything and continued to move.
Gentle and slow.
More and more blood stains appeared on his face, and some parts were so deep that the bones could be seen. In just a moment, there was no place to see on his face.
Wu Gou’s smile was very cold. The flesh on his face and the blood that was flowing continuously made him look even more sinister.
The direction of the mirror fragment changed and slowly landed on Wu Gou’s neck.
In the next moment, Wu Gou slid gently, and a bloody wound appeared on his neck. Immediately after, blood sprayed out.
“Plop! ”
Wu Gou knelt on the ground with his head hanging down and his hands placed weakly on both sides.
The aura of life gradually disappeared. In the blink of an eye, Wu Gou became a corpse.
The room fell silent again. The Mirror Death was no longer in the backyard.
The next day.
Xu Bai left the Dragon Conqueror Bodyguard Agency with the escorts sending him off.
Before he left, he had already given everything to another bodyguard. That bodvzuard was relativelv calm and efficient. He was completelv competent.
Among the people who followed him, only Liu Er followed behind him.
Today was the day he would head to Yunlai Mansion. He would probably rarely come back from Sheng County in the future.
Liu Er followed behind Xu Bai. As he looked at Xu Bai’s back, the admiration in his eyes increased.
On the way, Xu Bai had told him everything, including the place he was going to. Niu Er had no objections.
In his mind, upgrading to a county was already considered very big.
The place they were going to now was Yunlai Mansion, which was two levels higher than Shengxian County.
He didn’t know how big Yunlai Mansion was.
But it was definitely much bigger than Sheng County.
He was excited when he thought about how a person from a small county town like him would have the chance to go to Yunlai Manor.
“As expected, there is no problem with following the escort master.”Liu Eryi thought as he walked.
Not long after, the two of them arrived at the county government office. Yun Zihai was also waiting at the entrance of the county government office. He was still carrying big and small bags.
He was a weak scholar with a congenital deficiency. His face was as pale as paper, but he was carrying big and small bags, giving people a very strong sense of difference.
“Go help him get his things. ‘”‘
Liu Er was very sensible. He quickly took the package from Yun Zihai’s hands.
After all, he had become a ninth-grade martial artist, so he still had this bit of strength.
Xu Bai had only brought money with him other than his daily necessities. He did not leave anything else behind.
“Brother Yun, don’t you have a carriage?”
The surroundings were empty, and there wasn’t even a horse. Xu Bai wondered if they had to walk.
“The carriage is outside.” Yun Zihai said,” It’s parked at the city gate of the county town. I still have some things to do on the way, so I’m walking outside.””
Xu Bai rubbed his chin.
Yun Zihai did not say what he wanted to do, and he did not ask.
The two of them walked side by side towards the city gate.
The further they went, the lower the density of the houses outside, and the more dilapidated the buildings were.
This was how it was. The closer it was to the center of the county, the more prosperous it was. The further away it was from the center of the county, the worse it was.
When the two of them were about to reach the city gate, Xu Bai couldn’t help but frown when he didn’t see any movement from Yun Zihai.
At this moment, Yunhai suddenly stopped and revealed a bitter smile.
Xu Bai looked in Yun Zihai’s direction and realized that there was already a group of people standing at the city gate.
This group of people was dressed in ordinary clothes. It could even be said that they were shabby. One look and one could tell that they were not rich.
“We’re here to send Lord Yun off.” The citizens of Sheng County Imelt on the ground and said in unison.
Yun Zihai quickly helped the commoners up one after another, then started to nag at them.
Most of the content of his nagging was about ordinary things, just reminding them to be careful.
The situation only gradually turned for the time it took for an incense stick to burn.
“I didn’t expect Brother Yun to accomplish so many things for the promotion of the county in such a short period of time,” Xu Bai said with a smile..”
