Chapter 394 Assassin
Chapter 394 Assassin
In the eyes of Han Wen who was about to run away, the man in black made a "gurgle" in his throat, and he couldn't make any more sounds, and the secret was swallowed with his last breath.
At this time, Li Yuhan's anxious call came from outside, saying: "Mr. Han? Mr. Han? Have you ever been injured?"
Amidst the shouts, Li Yuhan and Liu Wumei had both rushed in.
Liu Wumei lit up a torch, and saw Han Wen sitting on the bed alive, heaved a long sigh of relief, smiled and said, "Thank God, we finally made it back in time."
The two people were already soaked through, and looked very tired, it was obvious that traveling all day and night must be very tiring.
Han Wen squinted his eyes and stared at them for a while, then heaved a long sigh, and said slowly, "Yes, the two of you came back at exactly the right time."
Liu Wumei lit the lamp, stared at the man in black on the ground and said, "We want to see who this person is and why he is trying so hard to plot against Mr. Han."
Han Wen regained his sense of normalcy, and said slowly, "It's a pity that we will never know why he came here now."
Liu Wumei said: "Why?"
Han Wen snorted coldly and said, "Because dead people will never speak."
Liu Wumei was stunned for a while, then sighed, "Yes, I really shouldn't have killed him, but I suddenly saw a man standing in front of Mr. Han's bed with a sword in his hand. , Forgot to keep him alive."
Li Yuhan frowned and sighed: "I knew that your rash temper would make things wrong one day."
Han Wen suddenly laughed, laughed it off, and said, "How can you blame the Xian couple?"
Liu Wumei lowered his head and said: "It's really my fault, but I hope Mr. Han..."
Han Wen pursed his lips and said with a smile: "It's over, it's over, there's no need to pursue it anymore, isn't it?"
Li Yuhan finally smiled and said, "I never thought that Mr. Han's illness would heal so quickly. It can be seen that auspicious people must have heaven."
Han Wen smiled and said, "I'm ashamed to say that I slept in a daze for a day, and my illness was cured, but I was so tired that Mr. and Mrs. Xian worried about me. I'm really sorry."
Liu Wumei suddenly lifted the black scarf of the man in black, and said bitterly: "Mr. Han, do you know who this person is?"
Under the light, one could see the man's green face, although there was still the look of horror before death, but the fierceness and cruelty of his life could still be seen from his brows and eyes.
Han Wen shook his head and said, "Not only do I not know who this person is, but I have never even met him before."
Li Yuhan frowned: "In this case, why did he come to murder Mr. Han? Is there someone else behind the scenes?"
Han Wen didn't answer, but pulled out the sword from the pillow, stared at it under the lamp for a while, then sighed, and said, "This sword is really a sharp weapon for killing people."
Li Yuhan said: "That's right, this sword is at least three inches longer than the swords usually used in Jianghu, but it is much thinner and narrower, almost two cents narrower than the Spirit Snake Sword of the Hainan Sword School. , the person who uses this kind of sword must have the same swordsmanship as the Hainan Sword School, taking the path of lightness, swiftness and viciousness."
Han Wen smiled and said: "Your Excellency has insightful insights, you really deserve to be the successor of the first swordsman." Li Yuhan seemed to want to thank a few words, but Han Wen continued: "Although I don't know the man who wields the sword, but like this I have seen his sword once."
Li Yuhan said: "Oh?"
Han Wen blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "I wonder if you have heard the name 'Central Plains Is Red'?"
Li Yuhan said movedly: "Could it be that what Mr. Han is talking about is the professional assassin who only recognizes money but does not recognize people. People say that 'killing without blood, the sword is a little red'?"
Han Wen nodded and said, "Not bad."
Li Yuhan said: "When my father commented on the famous contemporary swordsmanship, he also mentioned this person's name, saying that his swordsmanship is in a class of his own, and he could compete with Xue Yiren Xue Daxia for a day, but it's a pity that he He is too extreme, and his actions are too venomous, so he has gone into the wrong path without realizing it with his swordsmanship. Since ancient times, evil has prevailed over good, so no matter how talented he is and how hard he works, he will certainly not be able to reach the peak."
Thinking of his previous swordplay and the changes now, Han Wen couldn't help sighing: "Based on these words, senior Li Guanyu is worthy of being the number one swordsman of our time. In the whole world, anyone who learns swordsmanship is You should keep these words in your heart and stick to them throughout your life.”
Li Yuhan said: "If the heart is upright, the sword will be upright, and if the heart is evil, the sword will be evil. This is indeed an eternal truth."
Liu Wumei suddenly asked: "Is the sword used by this assassin the same as Zhongyuan Dianhong?"
Han Wen said silently: "Except for the slight difference in the hilt, the rest are exactly the same in terms of length and width."
Liu Wu's eyebrows and eyes fluttered, and he said: "So, this assassin was actually sent by the Central Plains Dianhong?"
Han Wen smiled slightly and said, "This is absolutely impossible."
Liu Wumei bit her graceful lips lightly, and said, "Then Mr. Han means..."
Han Wen said: "I just mean that this assassin has absolutely nothing to do with me, and he doesn't even recognize me at all. He came to assassinate this time because he was bought by others."
Liu Wumei pondered for a while, then nodded and said: "That's right, since the sword used by this man is exactly the same as that of Yidianhong, he must be from the same family as Yidianhong, and naturally like Yidianhong, he also uses killing as a profession."
Li Yuhan frowned and said, "Are there really so many people in Jianghu who make a living killing people?"
Han Wen squinted his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking. He smiled and said, "Maybe? Who knows!"
He suddenly untied the assassin's skirt, and it was empty inside. Naturally, this kind of person would never carry some odds and ends with him as a burden.But Han Wen found two things in his close-fitting little coat...a silver ticket with a large amount, and a bronze medal with a strange shape.
Bank notes were the most popular and reliable type at that time, and cash could be withdrawn anywhere.Han Wen smacked his tongue and said, "20 taels, it's no wonder he came to kill me. For 20 taels, I might kill myself. I didn't expect my life to be so valuable."
Li Yuhan sighed: "This person did not hesitate to spend 20 taels to take Mr. Han's life. It seems that the hatred between him and Mr. Han must not be small."
Liu Wumei suddenly said: "I can already find out who this person is."
Han Wen said: "Oh?"
Liu Wumei said: "No silver bank will use such a large amount of bank notes casually. It must be recorded in his account book. We only need to go to this bank to find out who this bank note was paid to. , wouldn’t it be possible to know who this person is?”
Han Wen smiled and said, "That's not necessary."
Liu Wumei's eyes widened, and he said, "Why? Does Brother Chu already know who this person is?"
Han Wen said: "If I want to buy an assassin to assassinate others, I will never use my bank notes, so even if we go to investigate, not only is it useless, but it will also be seduced astray and find an irrelevant person."
Liu Wumei was silent for a while, then sighed softly: "Yes, this also makes sense."
Han Wen smiled and said, "But I have found out at least one thing now."
Liu Wumei immediately asked: "What has Mr. Han found out?"
Han Wen grinned, smiled, and said slowly: "At least now I know that this person must be a rich man, because there are not many people in this world who can easily afford 20 taels."
Li Yuhan had been silent for a long time, but at this moment he suddenly asked, "What is this bronze medal?"
I saw the pattern on the front of the bronze medal, engraved with thirteen swords encircling a hand, and the shape of the swords was exactly the same as that used by the assassin.On the reverse side of the bronze medal, only the character "eight" is engraved.
Li Yuhan frowned and said, "What do these thirteen swords mean?"
Liu Wumei's eyes flickered, she clapped her hands and said, "I already understand what that means."
Li Yuhan pondered: "Thirteen swords, do they symbolize thirteen people?"
Liu Wumei said: "That's right, these thirteen people must be killing people for a living, this hand represents their leader, this person is ranked eighth in the same sect, so there is an 'eight' character on the reverse side." Han Wen smiled and said: "And the Central Plains is a little red, I'm afraid it's the number one among them."
Han Wen pouted, and said, "It seems that this is exactly the case."
Liu Wumei said: "But the most terrifying thing is naturally that hand. Although he doesn't show up, he secretly controls this secret group and uses these thirteen people to do business in killing people."
Li Yuhan said in amazement: "There is a group in the rivers and lakes that makes a living out of murder. Isn't that terrifying?"
Liu Wumei sighed: "I'm afraid this is not the scariest thing in the past hundred years."
Although Han Wen didn't speak, he kept thinking about things in his heart, "No wonder Yidianhong seems to be preoccupied and can't concentrate on swordsmanship. It turns out that he can't extricate himself because he is trapped in this bloody secret group."
"It's no wonder that after he decided not to kill people in cold blood, he immediately fled into the desert, because he knew that that hand would never let him go."
As long as anyone joins this kind of organization, there is probably no other way to get out except death.Only now did Hanwen know why Didianhong's eyes are always so deep and melancholy, so it is so!
Only to hear Liu Wumei laughing again: "But this group has nothing to fear now."
Li Yuhan said, "Why?"
Liu Wumei said: "Because it won't be long before this hand will be handcuffed."
Li Yuhan thought for a while, then smiled and said, "That's right, now that they have provoked Mr. Han and Chu Xiangshuai, I'm afraid you two won't let them go?"
Liu Wumei said: "What's more, since the organization of this group is so strict, every transaction must go through that 'hand'. As long as Mr. Han finds out this hand, he can also find out who bought the assassin. Who is it?"
Han Wen suddenly smiled and said, "I'm not in a hurry to find him."
Even though Liu Wumei was the most able to control her emotions, she couldn't help showing surprise on her face at this moment, and she lost her voice: "Why?"
Han Wen smiled and said: "This kind of person doesn't even dare to kill himself. I get angry when I see him. Now I just want to see the demeanor of the number one swordsman of this era. Isn't this much more enjoyable than looking for that kind of clown who jumps on the beam?" ?”, he focused on Liu Wumei’s face, and slowly continued: “Besides, he will come to me sooner or later anyway, why should I rush to find him?”
Liu Wumei pursed her lips and smiled, and said sweetly: "The most important thing is that Mr. Han is afraid that Miss Li Hongxiu will be anxious to wait?"
The two of them looked at each other and smiled meaningfully, but Li Yuhan's face suddenly changed color and he lost his voice: "Where is Brother Chu? Where has Brother Chu gone?"
It seemed that he didn't realize that Chu Liuxiang was no longer in the room until now, and Han Wen was not in a hurry. When he asked, he said calmly, "He seemed to have found a suspicious person just now, so he chased him out."
Liu Wumei also lost her voice and said: "Brother Chu already has one hand that can't move, how can he chase the enemy lightly?"
Han Wen said: "It doesn't matter."
Liu Wumei said: "It's okay? Isn't Mr. Han afraid that he will be poisoned by others?"
Han Wen smiled and said, "He will never be surprised."
Liu Wumei said: "Why?"
Han Wen smiled and said, "There is no reason! It's that simple!"
Liu Wumei said: "But—but why hasn't he come back until now?"
Han Wen said leisurely: "If he wasn't drinking secretly outside, he must have lost his way."
Liu Wumei sighed: "Mr. Han is really calm."
Han Wen laughed and said, "It's not that I'm really calm, it's just that I've heard his voice."
Few people know when it will rain. This is not surprising, because there are not many people who can know astronomy like Zhuge Liang.Strangely, few people know when the rain will stop.The rain always seems to stop before people know it.
In the quiet night breeze, Chu Liuxiang's voice really came, saying: "This is the family."
In addition, there was an old voice that said: "Will you not make a mistake this time?"
Chu Liuxiang said: "It can't be wrong."
When he heard these words, his men rushed into the yard like a cat whose tail had just been trampled on, and then cheered, saying: "So you have returned.", After cheering, he narrowed his eyes again and said, "Mr. Han, why did you get up all of a sudden?"
Before Han Wen could speak, the old voice came from outside again, asking, "Is Mr. Han okay?"
Chu Liuxiang made eye contact with Han Wen, and then Han Wen said: "Thank you for your concern, why don't you come in and see?"
The people outside said: "The old man actually wanted to see the sword god Han Wen for a long time, but after thinking about it carefully, it's better not to meet now."
"Oh?" Han Wen said, "Why?"
The man smiled and said: "When I see you now, I should at least kowtow for seventeen or eighty years. But I am so old, and I feel embarrassed to kowtow in front of others. I'd better wait until I find a way to repay it later." After your great kindness, come and have a few drinks with you again!"
When he said the last sentence, his voice was several feet away.
He is an interesting person, Han Wen said in surprise: "Who is this person? When will I be kind to him?"
Chu Liuxiang smiled and said: "You are not good for him, but you are good for the beggar gang."
"Is he also a disciple of the Beggar Gang?" Han Wen shook his head and asked indifferently,
Chu Liuxiang smiled and said: "Not a disciple, but an elder, and considering the seniority, it seems that even Ren Ci from the past is a generation younger than him."
Han Wen thought for a moment, then took out the book Li Hongxiu gave him from his pocket, flipped through it for a while, and said, "Are you talking about Dai Duxing, the 'Walker Alone'?"
Chu Liuxiang said: "Not bad."
Han Wen laughed and said, "It seems that Chu Liuxiang has quite a lot of friends!"
Chu Liuxiang said: "This is my advantage!" He laughed loudly and continued: "If you are jealous, I might as well tell you that I also met a person tonight, and you have long wanted to meet him."
Han Wen said: "Who?"
Chu Liuxiang said: "Thrushbird." He wanted to say something more, but Han Wen suddenly stuffed something into his mouth, Chu Liuxiang couldn't spit it out, and said slowly: "This... what is this?"
Han Wen's eyes flashed and he smiled and said: "This is the antidote that the couple worked so hard to get for you. You'd better sleep well before talking!"
Dawn seems to always come unknowingly.
Because everyone has to hurry, they go on the road at dawn, and because everyone needs to sleep, Hanwen and the others can no longer ride in the same carriage with the Li couple.
But how could Chu Liuxiang sleep?As soon as the chariots and horses started to walk, he looked at Han Wen and said, "Why don't you let me speak? What do you want to hide from others?"
Han Wen said: "Who do I want to hide from?"
Chu Liuxiang sneered and said, "Do you think he can't tell? He deliberately didn't ride with us in the same car, just to make you and me talk sneakily."
Han Wen smiled and said, "How do you know it wasn't them who wanted to speak furtively?"
Chu Liuxiang said: "What sneaky things do you have to say?"
Han Wen said: "I don't have anything else to say, I'm just guessing how much I know."
Chu Liuxiang said: "How much do you know?"
Han Wen said: "I know the tricks they are playing in secret."
Chu Liuxiang shook his head again and again, and said: "He treats you as a good friend, not only invites you to eat and drink, but also invites you to his house. If someone comes to harm you, he will kill the assassin for you, but now you say that he I'm playing tricks on you, let me ask you, what do they want from you? What do they want from you?"
Han Wen said lightly: "I don't want anything else, just my life... And! Yours! Don't forget the precedent of Wuhua!"
Chu Liuxiang glared at him a few times, but instead laughed, shook his head and said with a smile: "I think you are really similar to Cao Cao, as long as people look at you, you think they are trying to trick you again."
Han Wen said: "Then let me ask you, if Li Hongxiu and the others were in the 'Yongcui Mountain Villa', why did they come out to visit the mountains and rivers? They 'coincidentally' met us, and they 'coincidentally' met us separately! Is it such a coincidence?"
Chu Liuxiang also felt that there was some truth, but she still wanted to continue, saying: "Even if they came out to look for you on purpose, it's their kindness."
Han Wen said: "Since it's a good intention, why didn't you say it clearly?"
Chu Liuxiang started touching her nose again, frowned and said, "Don't you think Rong'er was kidnapped by them?"
Han Wen nodded, and said again: "Also, I suddenly fell ill, and no one else knows. How did that assassin come here?"
Chu Liuxiang said: "Maybe they have been spying on it secretly, maybe the shop boy is tipping off the news."
Han Wen said: "That's right, it's also possible, but as soon as they came back, they killed the assassin as soon as they rushed into the courtyard. At that time, there were still some lights in the courtyard, but the room was completely dark. If they hadn't known about the assassin In the house, you can't even see people."
Chu Liuxiang frowned even tighter, and said, "But if they bought the assassin, why did they kill him?"
Han Wen said: "Of course it is to kill people and silence them."
Chu Liuxiang said: "But the person who lured me out was the thrush. Was the thrush going the same way as them?"
Han Wen said: "You must also know that the thrush bird is someone else's alias."
Chu Liuxiang said: "Not bad."
Han Wen said: "Then how do you know that the thrush bird is not their alias?"
Chu Liuxiang was stunned for a while, then said: "Although the thrush bird's actions are secretive, they have no malice towards us. If you say that Liu Wumei wants to harm you, they can't be the same person."
Han Wen said: "Why is it impossible? I have already said that the thrush must be deliberately doing favor to you and asking you to repay it."
"Why is it involving me again? Alright!" Chu Liuxiang scratched her head and said depressedly, "Since he wants to harm me, what does he want me to repay?"
Han Wen said: "You saw the thrush, but you didn't kill him, did you?"
Chu Liuxiang said: "Of course I can't kill him, and I won't kill anyone. This is my consistent principle!"
Han Wen said: "That's right, the thrush did that to prevent you from killing him in the future... Even if you already know that Liu Wumei is the thrush, even if you know that she is going to kill me, you have to let her go, because she I was kind to you before──she left a way out before she wanted to kill me."
Chu Liuxiang frowned, and said, "Why do you have to suspect that Liu Wumei is a thrush?"
Han Wen said slowly: "There are naturally many reasons for this."
Chu Liuxiang shook her head, and sighed, "But at least those who beat you with the 'Rainstorm Pear Blossom Nail' are definitely not them?"
Han Wen said: "Why can't it be them?"
Chu Liuxiang said: "Because they were obviously still in the room at that time."
Han Wen said, "Have you seen them?"
Chu Liuxiang was startled, and said, "Although I didn't see it, I clearly heard them talking."
Han Wen said: "You didn't hear them 'talking', you just heard them struggling, shouting and moaning, did you?"
Chu Liuxiang said: "Not bad."
Han Wen said: "When everyone groans, their voice will change due to pain, so even if we hear something wrong with their voice, we don't care, right?"
Chu Liuxiang was stunned again, and said in a low voice: "Could it be that the two of them were no longer in the room at that time, and the voice was just pretended by someone else?"
Han Wen said: "Is this impossible?";
Chu Liuxiang sighed for a long time and stopped talking. Han Wen continued: "Because you always thought they were in the room, you would not think that it was someone else's voice. This is an illusion that everyone will inevitably have. Liu Wumei is not only very smart, but also very careful in doing things, she also knows that it is not easy to harm us, so every time before she strikes, she must set aside her steps so that we will never suspect them."
Chu Liuxiang rubbed her nose desperately, and murmured: "But I still don't understand, and I don't believe it."
Han Wen tilted his head and said, "Actually, I don't fully understand it, but I can already imagine the general situation."
Chu Liuxiang said: "Tell me and listen."
Han Wen said: "For a certain reason, Liu Wumei and his wife must find you and me, and they are sure to find you first, but when they found your boat, you were no longer there. When they returned, But I met Li Hongxiu and the others."
Chu Liuxiang said: "How did they meet Rong'er?"
Han Wen said: "Li Hongxiu and the others want to find you, so they naturally have to go home first to have a look. People like them are naturally very eye-catching when walking on the road, aren't they?"
Chu Liuxiang suddenly became enlightened, and said: "Yes! The Li family in Huqiu is very powerful, and they naturally have many eyes and ears in the rivers and lakes. Naturally, they have already heard about the relationship between Rong'er and me. After knowing their whereabouts, they will naturally come to the door..."
Han Wen nodded and said, "Yes!"
Chu Liuxiang said: "People like Liu Wumei can easily make friends with Rong'er and the others. Rong'er may not talk too much, but Tian'er has a true temperament..." Chu Liuxiang continued: "Liu Wumei It's not difficult for Wumei to ask Tian'er for information about me..."
"I'm more curious about why they decided that I would save Li Hongxiu!" Han Wen shook his head again and again, and said, "Forget it! Don't think about it! Maybe they were cheated, maybe they were robbed, maybe... In short, I don't care, what I hate is being calculated!"
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was interested, Chu Liuxiang was suddenly moved and said, "Are you saying that Rong'er and the others are not in 'Yongcui Villa' at all, and maybe they have been murdered by Liu Wumei and his wife?"
He didn't wait for Han Wen to answer, but he sighed first: "This is naturally possible. Fortunately, Liu Wumei didn't kill innocent people. What she wants to deal with is me, and since she wants to be kind to me, so as to leave a way out, it's okay Not to kill them."
"You've been acting too emotionally during this time! You've lost your calm thinking, and you've made stupid moves one after another!" Han Wen said silently.
Chu Liuxiang was startled, thinking of her behavior these past few days, frowned and pondered for a while, then suddenly said: "Based on time, she found us as soon as she arrived in the desert, didn't she?"
Han Wen said: "Not bad."
Chu Liuxiang said: "Since Li Yuhan is a son of an aristocratic family in the south of the Yangtze River, how can he be so familiar with the terrain of the desert? What's more, Shi Guanyin's residence is so secret, how could they find it all at once?"
Han Wen said slowly: "Now I still have two things I can't figure out, and this is one of them."
Chu Liuxiang said: "Is there one more thing?"
Han Wen snorted coldly and said, "I really can't figure out why this couple must kill me? What does this have to do with me! They are looking for you!"
Chu Liuxiang frowned again, and said in a deep voice: "Now, since they already know that you are suspicious of them, and they must have seen that you were pretending to be sick last night, wouldn't your situation be more dangerous?"
Han Wen smiled lightly and said, "But now that I haven't exposed them, they naturally won't tell the truth. They already know that I have doubts about them, so they dare not act rashly along the way! What's more... I will be afraid of them? "
Chu Liuxiang said: "Are they going to wait until we arrive at the 'Yongcui Villa' before making a move?"
Han Wen said: "It seems that it must be so."
Chu Liuxiang said: "If that's the case, they must have prepared a way to deal with us in the 'Yongcui Villa'. Given the power of the Huqiu Li family in the Jianghu, this move must be no small matter."
Han Wen said: "Not bad."
Chu Liuxiang said: "Since we know now, are we going to die?"
Han Wen looked at the scroll in his hand and said, "Although there are tens of thousands of people, I will go!"
Chu Liuxiang was silent for a while, then sighed: "That's right, don't say it's you, just talk about myself, naturally I can't leave Rong'er and the others there, and we don't have to worry too much. There will be another conspiracy like the 'Rainstorm Pear Blossom Nail'."
Han Wen said: "How can you see it?"
Chu Liuxiang said: "With the power of the Li family in Jianghu, if they want to plot against me, they can only use other people as scapegoats in other places. After they arrive at the 'Yongcui Villa', how dare they use these despicable methods again? ? How dare they destroy the decades-long chivalrous reputation of 'Yongcui Villa'?"
Han Wen nodded and said: "That's right, they don't use their own hidden weapons, but use the 'Rainstorm Pear Blossom Nail', just to avoid tarnishing the momentum of 'Yongcui Villa', if you die under the Pear Blossom Nail, naturally no one will think it's Li The poisonous hand of the family's children. Have you figured it out now?"
Chu Liuxiang sighed: "No wonder that person threw away such a precious hidden weapon as soon as he missed a hit. It turned out that he was afraid that we would find the 'Rainstorm Pear Blossom Nail' in their hands."
Han Wen said: "Actually, you should have thought about it a long time ago. Besides the children of the Li family, who else can get such a precious hidden weapon? Except for the children of the Li family who are rich in the south of the Yangtze River, who can spend 20 yuan for a single shot?" Two silvers?"
Chu Liuxiang smiled and said: "It's a pity that they steal chickens and lose a lot of rice, but they are cheap for us. For nothing, they got a hidden weapon that is more precious than gold."
Han Wen shook his head and smiled, "But I would rather ask for 20 taels of silver."
The two laughed at each other, they seemed to have forgotten all the dangers of this trip, they even forgot that if they died in "Yongcui Villa", the silver and hidden weapons would still belong to others.
The word "danger" didn't seem to exist in the heads of these two people.
Huqiu, the name of the mountain, formerly known as Haibi Mountain, is outside Changmen in Suzhou. According to legend, King Helu of Wu was buried in this mountain, with mercury as the coffin and gold and silver as the pit.Historical Records: The tomb of Hejian is located outside Changmen, Wuxian County. It was managed by 10 people, and the soil was collected to face the lake. Three days after the burial, a white tiger sat on it, so it was named Tiger Hill.
This mountain is not high, but it is full of some beautiful legends and myths. Since ancient times, it has been a must-see for talented scholars and poets.
As expected, Han Wen and the others had a safe journey and arrived in Suzhou.They didn't go around outside the city, but passed through the city. Li Yuhan and Liu Wumei were still talking and laughing happily, and no one could see that they had murderous intentions in their hearts.Did you guess Korean wrong?
Arriving in this city famous for its beauty, everyone can't help feeling a kind of tenderness in their hearts, who else would want to kill someone?The clean streets seem to be full of beautiful girls, their long braids swaying in the wind, smiling sweetly at people from time to time.
Chu Liuxiang suddenly smiled and said, "Have you ever discovered something interesting? People here don't like to wear shoes."
People walking around on the street really don't like to wear shoes, some are barefoot, some are dragging slippers, even if some wear shoes, they don't pull up the heels, but a pair of flat soles and flat toes. Wouldn't it be more interesting to see the slender feet as white as jade in the wooden clogs painted with gold?
Chu Liuxiang smiled again: "Do you know why they don't like to wear shoes? I have already discovered the reason."
Li Yuhan couldn't help but asked, "Why?"
Chu Liuxiang clapped his hands and said, "Just because their feet are more beautiful than people from other places, wouldn't it be a waste of money if they don't let people see more?"
Suzhou girls not only have beautiful feet, but most of them have natural feet. When you go outside the city, you can see girls carrying jasmine flower baskets, chasing the passing chariots and horses lightly, sometimes jumping on the shafts of the carts, sometimes jumping off. With Wu Nong's soft words like Huang Ying's twitter, who can bear not to buy their two flowers?
Seven miles outside the city is Huqiu Mountain.But once you get out of the city gate, you can see the green and majestic mountain in the distance, just like a tiger squatting there, full of vitality, calm from head to tail.
They walked through Gusu on foot, and returned to the car at this time. Chu Liuxiang opened the car window, looked at these young and lively girls, and couldn't help laughing at Han Wen: "These little girls are so brisk. Good materials for martial arts, if you practice lightness kung fu, I will never be worse than you."
Han Wen glanced at it, and said slowly: "They also practiced it since they were young. They don't know how many times they have to jump up and down on the carriage every day. They are much more diligent than me practicing kung fu by myself."
Before he finished speaking, a girl in a green cloth blouse and with a big shiny braid jumped onto the shaft of the car, holding a jasmine ball in her hand, and said with a smile: "A very fragrant jasmine, my lord!" Buy two of them!"
Chu Liuxiang looked at her small hands like spring onions, and couldn't help laughing: "Is it the fragrance of flowers? Or the fragrance of your hands?"
The little girl blushed, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Naturally it's the fragrance of flowers, if you don't believe me, just smell it."
Chu Liuxiang laughed and was about to pick up flowers, but Han Wen snatched it first, and said with a smile, "All good flowers have thorns, does this flower have thorns? Don't pierce my nose."
The little girl giggled and said, "My lord is really good at telling jokes, how can there be a thorny jasmine in the world?"
Han Wen said: "In this case, I will buy a few. It's a pity that although this flower is good, there is no one who wears it... I have to pass this flower to the girl again."
He suddenly sent the bouquet to the little girl again.
The little girl's complexion suddenly changed, she turned over in the air, retreated about a foot away, turned around and fled away as if flying.
Chu Liuxiang frowned and said, "You pervert, it's unseemly to scare the little girl like this!"
Han Wen snorted coldly and said, "If I don't scare her away, she will kill you and me."
Chu Liuxiang lost her voice: "What did you say?"
Han Wen didn't answer, but tore the jasmine ball lightly, and saw a dozen small needles glowing with black light in the flower ball.
Chu Liuxiang said in amazement: "Poison needle?"
Han Wen snorted coldly: "If I didn't pick it up quickly, as long as she flicked her little hand, would you and I still want to live at this moment?"
Han Wen was silent for a while, wiped off his sweat, and couldn't help but ask, "How did you find out this time?"
Han Wen looked at Chu Liuxiang and said, "I really can't imagine how you meddled in so many other things and survived... These little girls have been selling flowers on this road since they were young. It can be seen that they are all children of poor families. Selling flowers and helping with housework at night, how could there be such white and tender hands as hers?"
Chu Liuxiang was stunned for a while, then smiled bitterly and said, "Your eyes are really amazing."
Han Wen said: "Also, these little girls are all born and raised here, how can they speak her standard official language? I knew something was wrong as soon as I heard her speak."
Chu Liuxiang sighed: "I've been fooling around for nothing... I'm not at peace!" He suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Do you think this little girl was also sent by his husband and wife?"
Han Wen wrapped all the poisonous needles in a square scarf and said, "When we get here, how can there be other people? If this incident happens, they can of course say that they don't know about it. If it doesn't happen, it has nothing to do with them." .”
Chu Liuxiang was silent for a while, then murmured: "It seems that the place we are going to is not Tiger Hill, but Tiger Den."
Han Wen closed his eyes, and said lightly, "If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you catch a tiger's cubs."
Chu Liuxiang smiled and said, "It's not a tiger son, it's a tiger girl."
When they arrived in front of the main mountain gate of Huqiu, everyone got off their horses. Li Yuhan and Liu Wumei were still talking and laughing happily, as if they didn't know what happened just now.Could it be that the little girl has nothing to do with them?Could it be that you guessed wrong in Korean again?
Outside the mountain gate, there is a small market, a small river meanders through it, and there are three or five painting boats parked beside the river, and there are charming smiles like silver bells coming from the painting boats from time to time.
After entering the mountain gate, there are many small shops on both sides, and there are many beggars. When they saw someone coming, they gathered around to beg, and some people respectfully smiled and said, "Is Mr. Li back? Ma'am, hello."
Chu Liuxiang and Han Wen glanced at each other, but secretly guessed in their hearts: "I don't know if there are any real disciples of the beggars among these beggars?"
When I was thinking, I had already arrived at the famous Thousand People Stone.
There is only one big rock that can seat thousands of people. At a glance, not only can you not see the side, you can't even see a blade of grass. There is a small stone platform to the north of the big rock.
Just listen to Liu Wumei said leisurely: "Therefore, according to legend, in the past, the eunuch of King Wu used a thousand craftsmen to build a tomb here. All of them were buried alive under this stone, so this stone is called "Thousand People Stone."
This cruel story was narrated from her mouth, but it seemed that there was not even a trace of blood. Chu Liuxiang couldn't help asking: "Then what is the stone platform?"
Liu Wumei said: "That is the lecture platform of the divine monk Zhu Daosheng, on which there are four seal characters written by Li Yangbing of the Tang Dynasty, which means 'Sheng Gong's platform', and the stone beside the white lotus pond is the famous nodding stone. , as the saying goes: "Shenggong speaks, and the stubborn stone nods", this allusion comes from here."
Her steps were as light as her voice, and the mountain wind blew from behind the rock, blowing away her hair bun and waving her skirt, and she seemed to be going away with the wind.
Chu Liuxiang was fascinated by what she heard and what she saw, but she couldn't help but sigh in her heart: "Can such a fairy-like beauty really be a murderer?"
Then they walked up to the sword pond.
I saw dense forests on all sides, and Xiaobi was secluded and emerald.A wooden bridge lies across the pool like a rainbow. The water in the pool is green and cold, with duckweed dotted on it.
Standing by the pool, Han Wen felt a gust of cold wind blowing towards his face, and the green pool water seemed to hide bursts of murderous intent.
In the distance, autumn clouds converge, and evening bells sound faintly in the breeze.
Chu Liuxiang smiled and said: "Li Xiuqing, a famous scholar in the Tang Dynasty, praised this water as the fifth spring in the world, but he didn't know that this water is the most suitable for sharpening swords. It is the place for ancient swordsmen to sharpen their swords. Now there is the first contemporary swordsman, Old Senior Li, here Pinti, the word 'Jianchi' really deserves a name."
Liu Wumei said with a smile: "It is said that this name has another origin."
Han Wen turned his head and said, "Oh?"
Liu Wumei said: "It is said that the tomb of Helu, King of Wu, is under this sword pool. When he died, he was buried with thirty famous swords, and even the fish sausage sword that was specially used for all kinds of swords was in it, so this place is called the sword pool. "
Han Wen smiled lightly, and said: "If I am also buried here, next to a male ghost like King Wu, it will be considered a worthwhile life and a well-deserved death."
Liu Wumei remained expressionless, and smiled sweetly: "Since Mr. Han knows that this is the fifth spring in the world, do you know that the third spring in the world is also here?"
Bypassing Jianchi, you can see a very large stone well, more than ten feet wide, and beside the well is a hexagonal pavilion surrounded by Zhulan.
Chu Liuxiang interjected, and said with a smile: "This is probably the third spring in the world, 'Lu Yu Tea Well'. In the past, Senior Li invited famous swordsmen from all over the world to cook tea and taste swords here. The style of seniors is really admirable. to the end."
Suddenly one person sighed and said: "It's a pity that although the mountains and rivers remain the same, the faces of people are completely different."
(End of this chapter)
In the eyes of Han Wen who was about to run away, the man in black made a "gurgle" in his throat, and he couldn't make any more sounds, and the secret was swallowed with his last breath.
At this time, Li Yuhan's anxious call came from outside, saying: "Mr. Han? Mr. Han? Have you ever been injured?"
Amidst the shouts, Li Yuhan and Liu Wumei had both rushed in.
Liu Wumei lit up a torch, and saw Han Wen sitting on the bed alive, heaved a long sigh of relief, smiled and said, "Thank God, we finally made it back in time."
The two people were already soaked through, and looked very tired, it was obvious that traveling all day and night must be very tiring.
Han Wen squinted his eyes and stared at them for a while, then heaved a long sigh, and said slowly, "Yes, the two of you came back at exactly the right time."
Liu Wumei lit the lamp, stared at the man in black on the ground and said, "We want to see who this person is and why he is trying so hard to plot against Mr. Han."
Han Wen regained his sense of normalcy, and said slowly, "It's a pity that we will never know why he came here now."
Liu Wumei said: "Why?"
Han Wen snorted coldly and said, "Because dead people will never speak."
Liu Wumei was stunned for a while, then sighed, "Yes, I really shouldn't have killed him, but I suddenly saw a man standing in front of Mr. Han's bed with a sword in his hand. , Forgot to keep him alive."
Li Yuhan frowned and sighed: "I knew that your rash temper would make things wrong one day."
Han Wen suddenly laughed, laughed it off, and said, "How can you blame the Xian couple?"
Liu Wumei lowered his head and said: "It's really my fault, but I hope Mr. Han..."
Han Wen pursed his lips and said with a smile: "It's over, it's over, there's no need to pursue it anymore, isn't it?"
Li Yuhan finally smiled and said, "I never thought that Mr. Han's illness would heal so quickly. It can be seen that auspicious people must have heaven."
Han Wen smiled and said, "I'm ashamed to say that I slept in a daze for a day, and my illness was cured, but I was so tired that Mr. and Mrs. Xian worried about me. I'm really sorry."
Liu Wumei suddenly lifted the black scarf of the man in black, and said bitterly: "Mr. Han, do you know who this person is?"
Under the light, one could see the man's green face, although there was still the look of horror before death, but the fierceness and cruelty of his life could still be seen from his brows and eyes.
Han Wen shook his head and said, "Not only do I not know who this person is, but I have never even met him before."
Li Yuhan frowned: "In this case, why did he come to murder Mr. Han? Is there someone else behind the scenes?"
Han Wen didn't answer, but pulled out the sword from the pillow, stared at it under the lamp for a while, then sighed, and said, "This sword is really a sharp weapon for killing people."
Li Yuhan said: "That's right, this sword is at least three inches longer than the swords usually used in Jianghu, but it is much thinner and narrower, almost two cents narrower than the Spirit Snake Sword of the Hainan Sword School. , the person who uses this kind of sword must have the same swordsmanship as the Hainan Sword School, taking the path of lightness, swiftness and viciousness."
Han Wen smiled and said: "Your Excellency has insightful insights, you really deserve to be the successor of the first swordsman." Li Yuhan seemed to want to thank a few words, but Han Wen continued: "Although I don't know the man who wields the sword, but like this I have seen his sword once."
Li Yuhan said: "Oh?"
Han Wen blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "I wonder if you have heard the name 'Central Plains Is Red'?"
Li Yuhan said movedly: "Could it be that what Mr. Han is talking about is the professional assassin who only recognizes money but does not recognize people. People say that 'killing without blood, the sword is a little red'?"
Han Wen nodded and said, "Not bad."
Li Yuhan said: "When my father commented on the famous contemporary swordsmanship, he also mentioned this person's name, saying that his swordsmanship is in a class of his own, and he could compete with Xue Yiren Xue Daxia for a day, but it's a pity that he He is too extreme, and his actions are too venomous, so he has gone into the wrong path without realizing it with his swordsmanship. Since ancient times, evil has prevailed over good, so no matter how talented he is and how hard he works, he will certainly not be able to reach the peak."
Thinking of his previous swordplay and the changes now, Han Wen couldn't help sighing: "Based on these words, senior Li Guanyu is worthy of being the number one swordsman of our time. In the whole world, anyone who learns swordsmanship is You should keep these words in your heart and stick to them throughout your life.”
Li Yuhan said: "If the heart is upright, the sword will be upright, and if the heart is evil, the sword will be evil. This is indeed an eternal truth."
Liu Wumei suddenly asked: "Is the sword used by this assassin the same as Zhongyuan Dianhong?"
Han Wen said silently: "Except for the slight difference in the hilt, the rest are exactly the same in terms of length and width."
Liu Wu's eyebrows and eyes fluttered, and he said: "So, this assassin was actually sent by the Central Plains Dianhong?"
Han Wen smiled slightly and said, "This is absolutely impossible."
Liu Wumei bit her graceful lips lightly, and said, "Then Mr. Han means..."
Han Wen said: "I just mean that this assassin has absolutely nothing to do with me, and he doesn't even recognize me at all. He came to assassinate this time because he was bought by others."
Liu Wumei pondered for a while, then nodded and said: "That's right, since the sword used by this man is exactly the same as that of Yidianhong, he must be from the same family as Yidianhong, and naturally like Yidianhong, he also uses killing as a profession."
Li Yuhan frowned and said, "Are there really so many people in Jianghu who make a living killing people?"
Han Wen squinted his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking. He smiled and said, "Maybe? Who knows!"
He suddenly untied the assassin's skirt, and it was empty inside. Naturally, this kind of person would never carry some odds and ends with him as a burden.But Han Wen found two things in his close-fitting little coat...a silver ticket with a large amount, and a bronze medal with a strange shape.
Bank notes were the most popular and reliable type at that time, and cash could be withdrawn anywhere.Han Wen smacked his tongue and said, "20 taels, it's no wonder he came to kill me. For 20 taels, I might kill myself. I didn't expect my life to be so valuable."
Li Yuhan sighed: "This person did not hesitate to spend 20 taels to take Mr. Han's life. It seems that the hatred between him and Mr. Han must not be small."
Liu Wumei suddenly said: "I can already find out who this person is."
Han Wen said: "Oh?"
Liu Wumei said: "No silver bank will use such a large amount of bank notes casually. It must be recorded in his account book. We only need to go to this bank to find out who this bank note was paid to. , wouldn’t it be possible to know who this person is?”
Han Wen smiled and said, "That's not necessary."
Liu Wumei's eyes widened, and he said, "Why? Does Brother Chu already know who this person is?"
Han Wen said: "If I want to buy an assassin to assassinate others, I will never use my bank notes, so even if we go to investigate, not only is it useless, but it will also be seduced astray and find an irrelevant person."
Liu Wumei was silent for a while, then sighed softly: "Yes, this also makes sense."
Han Wen smiled and said, "But I have found out at least one thing now."
Liu Wumei immediately asked: "What has Mr. Han found out?"
Han Wen grinned, smiled, and said slowly: "At least now I know that this person must be a rich man, because there are not many people in this world who can easily afford 20 taels."
Li Yuhan had been silent for a long time, but at this moment he suddenly asked, "What is this bronze medal?"
I saw the pattern on the front of the bronze medal, engraved with thirteen swords encircling a hand, and the shape of the swords was exactly the same as that used by the assassin.On the reverse side of the bronze medal, only the character "eight" is engraved.
Li Yuhan frowned and said, "What do these thirteen swords mean?"
Liu Wumei's eyes flickered, she clapped her hands and said, "I already understand what that means."
Li Yuhan pondered: "Thirteen swords, do they symbolize thirteen people?"
Liu Wumei said: "That's right, these thirteen people must be killing people for a living, this hand represents their leader, this person is ranked eighth in the same sect, so there is an 'eight' character on the reverse side." Han Wen smiled and said: "And the Central Plains is a little red, I'm afraid it's the number one among them."
Han Wen pouted, and said, "It seems that this is exactly the case."
Liu Wumei said: "But the most terrifying thing is naturally that hand. Although he doesn't show up, he secretly controls this secret group and uses these thirteen people to do business in killing people."
Li Yuhan said in amazement: "There is a group in the rivers and lakes that makes a living out of murder. Isn't that terrifying?"
Liu Wumei sighed: "I'm afraid this is not the scariest thing in the past hundred years."
Although Han Wen didn't speak, he kept thinking about things in his heart, "No wonder Yidianhong seems to be preoccupied and can't concentrate on swordsmanship. It turns out that he can't extricate himself because he is trapped in this bloody secret group."
"It's no wonder that after he decided not to kill people in cold blood, he immediately fled into the desert, because he knew that that hand would never let him go."
As long as anyone joins this kind of organization, there is probably no other way to get out except death.Only now did Hanwen know why Didianhong's eyes are always so deep and melancholy, so it is so!
Only to hear Liu Wumei laughing again: "But this group has nothing to fear now."
Li Yuhan said, "Why?"
Liu Wumei said: "Because it won't be long before this hand will be handcuffed."
Li Yuhan thought for a while, then smiled and said, "That's right, now that they have provoked Mr. Han and Chu Xiangshuai, I'm afraid you two won't let them go?"
Liu Wumei said: "What's more, since the organization of this group is so strict, every transaction must go through that 'hand'. As long as Mr. Han finds out this hand, he can also find out who bought the assassin. Who is it?"
Han Wen suddenly smiled and said, "I'm not in a hurry to find him."
Even though Liu Wumei was the most able to control her emotions, she couldn't help showing surprise on her face at this moment, and she lost her voice: "Why?"
Han Wen smiled and said: "This kind of person doesn't even dare to kill himself. I get angry when I see him. Now I just want to see the demeanor of the number one swordsman of this era. Isn't this much more enjoyable than looking for that kind of clown who jumps on the beam?" ?”, he focused on Liu Wumei’s face, and slowly continued: “Besides, he will come to me sooner or later anyway, why should I rush to find him?”
Liu Wumei pursed her lips and smiled, and said sweetly: "The most important thing is that Mr. Han is afraid that Miss Li Hongxiu will be anxious to wait?"
The two of them looked at each other and smiled meaningfully, but Li Yuhan's face suddenly changed color and he lost his voice: "Where is Brother Chu? Where has Brother Chu gone?"
It seemed that he didn't realize that Chu Liuxiang was no longer in the room until now, and Han Wen was not in a hurry. When he asked, he said calmly, "He seemed to have found a suspicious person just now, so he chased him out."
Liu Wumei also lost her voice and said: "Brother Chu already has one hand that can't move, how can he chase the enemy lightly?"
Han Wen said: "It doesn't matter."
Liu Wumei said: "It's okay? Isn't Mr. Han afraid that he will be poisoned by others?"
Han Wen smiled and said, "He will never be surprised."
Liu Wumei said: "Why?"
Han Wen smiled and said, "There is no reason! It's that simple!"
Liu Wumei said: "But—but why hasn't he come back until now?"
Han Wen said leisurely: "If he wasn't drinking secretly outside, he must have lost his way."
Liu Wumei sighed: "Mr. Han is really calm."
Han Wen laughed and said, "It's not that I'm really calm, it's just that I've heard his voice."
Few people know when it will rain. This is not surprising, because there are not many people who can know astronomy like Zhuge Liang.Strangely, few people know when the rain will stop.The rain always seems to stop before people know it.
In the quiet night breeze, Chu Liuxiang's voice really came, saying: "This is the family."
In addition, there was an old voice that said: "Will you not make a mistake this time?"
Chu Liuxiang said: "It can't be wrong."
When he heard these words, his men rushed into the yard like a cat whose tail had just been trampled on, and then cheered, saying: "So you have returned.", After cheering, he narrowed his eyes again and said, "Mr. Han, why did you get up all of a sudden?"
Before Han Wen could speak, the old voice came from outside again, asking, "Is Mr. Han okay?"
Chu Liuxiang made eye contact with Han Wen, and then Han Wen said: "Thank you for your concern, why don't you come in and see?"
The people outside said: "The old man actually wanted to see the sword god Han Wen for a long time, but after thinking about it carefully, it's better not to meet now."
"Oh?" Han Wen said, "Why?"
The man smiled and said: "When I see you now, I should at least kowtow for seventeen or eighty years. But I am so old, and I feel embarrassed to kowtow in front of others. I'd better wait until I find a way to repay it later." After your great kindness, come and have a few drinks with you again!"
When he said the last sentence, his voice was several feet away.
He is an interesting person, Han Wen said in surprise: "Who is this person? When will I be kind to him?"
Chu Liuxiang smiled and said: "You are not good for him, but you are good for the beggar gang."
"Is he also a disciple of the Beggar Gang?" Han Wen shook his head and asked indifferently,
Chu Liuxiang smiled and said: "Not a disciple, but an elder, and considering the seniority, it seems that even Ren Ci from the past is a generation younger than him."
Han Wen thought for a moment, then took out the book Li Hongxiu gave him from his pocket, flipped through it for a while, and said, "Are you talking about Dai Duxing, the 'Walker Alone'?"
Chu Liuxiang said: "Not bad."
Han Wen laughed and said, "It seems that Chu Liuxiang has quite a lot of friends!"
Chu Liuxiang said: "This is my advantage!" He laughed loudly and continued: "If you are jealous, I might as well tell you that I also met a person tonight, and you have long wanted to meet him."
Han Wen said: "Who?"
Chu Liuxiang said: "Thrushbird." He wanted to say something more, but Han Wen suddenly stuffed something into his mouth, Chu Liuxiang couldn't spit it out, and said slowly: "This... what is this?"
Han Wen's eyes flashed and he smiled and said: "This is the antidote that the couple worked so hard to get for you. You'd better sleep well before talking!"
Dawn seems to always come unknowingly.
Because everyone has to hurry, they go on the road at dawn, and because everyone needs to sleep, Hanwen and the others can no longer ride in the same carriage with the Li couple.
But how could Chu Liuxiang sleep?As soon as the chariots and horses started to walk, he looked at Han Wen and said, "Why don't you let me speak? What do you want to hide from others?"
Han Wen said: "Who do I want to hide from?"
Chu Liuxiang sneered and said, "Do you think he can't tell? He deliberately didn't ride with us in the same car, just to make you and me talk sneakily."
Han Wen smiled and said, "How do you know it wasn't them who wanted to speak furtively?"
Chu Liuxiang said: "What sneaky things do you have to say?"
Han Wen said: "I don't have anything else to say, I'm just guessing how much I know."
Chu Liuxiang said: "How much do you know?"
Han Wen said: "I know the tricks they are playing in secret."
Chu Liuxiang shook his head again and again, and said: "He treats you as a good friend, not only invites you to eat and drink, but also invites you to his house. If someone comes to harm you, he will kill the assassin for you, but now you say that he I'm playing tricks on you, let me ask you, what do they want from you? What do they want from you?"
Han Wen said lightly: "I don't want anything else, just my life... And! Yours! Don't forget the precedent of Wuhua!"
Chu Liuxiang glared at him a few times, but instead laughed, shook his head and said with a smile: "I think you are really similar to Cao Cao, as long as people look at you, you think they are trying to trick you again."
Han Wen said: "Then let me ask you, if Li Hongxiu and the others were in the 'Yongcui Mountain Villa', why did they come out to visit the mountains and rivers? They 'coincidentally' met us, and they 'coincidentally' met us separately! Is it such a coincidence?"
Chu Liuxiang also felt that there was some truth, but she still wanted to continue, saying: "Even if they came out to look for you on purpose, it's their kindness."
Han Wen said: "Since it's a good intention, why didn't you say it clearly?"
Chu Liuxiang started touching her nose again, frowned and said, "Don't you think Rong'er was kidnapped by them?"
Han Wen nodded, and said again: "Also, I suddenly fell ill, and no one else knows. How did that assassin come here?"
Chu Liuxiang said: "Maybe they have been spying on it secretly, maybe the shop boy is tipping off the news."
Han Wen said: "That's right, it's also possible, but as soon as they came back, they killed the assassin as soon as they rushed into the courtyard. At that time, there were still some lights in the courtyard, but the room was completely dark. If they hadn't known about the assassin In the house, you can't even see people."
Chu Liuxiang frowned even tighter, and said, "But if they bought the assassin, why did they kill him?"
Han Wen said: "Of course it is to kill people and silence them."
Chu Liuxiang said: "But the person who lured me out was the thrush. Was the thrush going the same way as them?"
Han Wen said: "You must also know that the thrush bird is someone else's alias."
Chu Liuxiang said: "Not bad."
Han Wen said: "Then how do you know that the thrush bird is not their alias?"
Chu Liuxiang was stunned for a while, then said: "Although the thrush bird's actions are secretive, they have no malice towards us. If you say that Liu Wumei wants to harm you, they can't be the same person."
Han Wen said: "Why is it impossible? I have already said that the thrush must be deliberately doing favor to you and asking you to repay it."
"Why is it involving me again? Alright!" Chu Liuxiang scratched her head and said depressedly, "Since he wants to harm me, what does he want me to repay?"
Han Wen said: "You saw the thrush, but you didn't kill him, did you?"
Chu Liuxiang said: "Of course I can't kill him, and I won't kill anyone. This is my consistent principle!"
Han Wen said: "That's right, the thrush did that to prevent you from killing him in the future... Even if you already know that Liu Wumei is the thrush, even if you know that she is going to kill me, you have to let her go, because she I was kind to you before──she left a way out before she wanted to kill me."
Chu Liuxiang frowned, and said, "Why do you have to suspect that Liu Wumei is a thrush?"
Han Wen said slowly: "There are naturally many reasons for this."
Chu Liuxiang shook her head, and sighed, "But at least those who beat you with the 'Rainstorm Pear Blossom Nail' are definitely not them?"
Han Wen said: "Why can't it be them?"
Chu Liuxiang said: "Because they were obviously still in the room at that time."
Han Wen said, "Have you seen them?"
Chu Liuxiang was startled, and said, "Although I didn't see it, I clearly heard them talking."
Han Wen said: "You didn't hear them 'talking', you just heard them struggling, shouting and moaning, did you?"
Chu Liuxiang said: "Not bad."
Han Wen said: "When everyone groans, their voice will change due to pain, so even if we hear something wrong with their voice, we don't care, right?"
Chu Liuxiang was stunned again, and said in a low voice: "Could it be that the two of them were no longer in the room at that time, and the voice was just pretended by someone else?"
Han Wen said: "Is this impossible?";
Chu Liuxiang sighed for a long time and stopped talking. Han Wen continued: "Because you always thought they were in the room, you would not think that it was someone else's voice. This is an illusion that everyone will inevitably have. Liu Wumei is not only very smart, but also very careful in doing things, she also knows that it is not easy to harm us, so every time before she strikes, she must set aside her steps so that we will never suspect them."
Chu Liuxiang rubbed her nose desperately, and murmured: "But I still don't understand, and I don't believe it."
Han Wen tilted his head and said, "Actually, I don't fully understand it, but I can already imagine the general situation."
Chu Liuxiang said: "Tell me and listen."
Han Wen said: "For a certain reason, Liu Wumei and his wife must find you and me, and they are sure to find you first, but when they found your boat, you were no longer there. When they returned, But I met Li Hongxiu and the others."
Chu Liuxiang said: "How did they meet Rong'er?"
Han Wen said: "Li Hongxiu and the others want to find you, so they naturally have to go home first to have a look. People like them are naturally very eye-catching when walking on the road, aren't they?"
Chu Liuxiang suddenly became enlightened, and said: "Yes! The Li family in Huqiu is very powerful, and they naturally have many eyes and ears in the rivers and lakes. Naturally, they have already heard about the relationship between Rong'er and me. After knowing their whereabouts, they will naturally come to the door..."
Han Wen nodded and said, "Yes!"
Chu Liuxiang said: "People like Liu Wumei can easily make friends with Rong'er and the others. Rong'er may not talk too much, but Tian'er has a true temperament..." Chu Liuxiang continued: "Liu Wumei It's not difficult for Wumei to ask Tian'er for information about me..."
"I'm more curious about why they decided that I would save Li Hongxiu!" Han Wen shook his head again and again, and said, "Forget it! Don't think about it! Maybe they were cheated, maybe they were robbed, maybe... In short, I don't care, what I hate is being calculated!"
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was interested, Chu Liuxiang was suddenly moved and said, "Are you saying that Rong'er and the others are not in 'Yongcui Villa' at all, and maybe they have been murdered by Liu Wumei and his wife?"
He didn't wait for Han Wen to answer, but he sighed first: "This is naturally possible. Fortunately, Liu Wumei didn't kill innocent people. What she wants to deal with is me, and since she wants to be kind to me, so as to leave a way out, it's okay Not to kill them."
"You've been acting too emotionally during this time! You've lost your calm thinking, and you've made stupid moves one after another!" Han Wen said silently.
Chu Liuxiang was startled, thinking of her behavior these past few days, frowned and pondered for a while, then suddenly said: "Based on time, she found us as soon as she arrived in the desert, didn't she?"
Han Wen said: "Not bad."
Chu Liuxiang said: "Since Li Yuhan is a son of an aristocratic family in the south of the Yangtze River, how can he be so familiar with the terrain of the desert? What's more, Shi Guanyin's residence is so secret, how could they find it all at once?"
Han Wen said slowly: "Now I still have two things I can't figure out, and this is one of them."
Chu Liuxiang said: "Is there one more thing?"
Han Wen snorted coldly and said, "I really can't figure out why this couple must kill me? What does this have to do with me! They are looking for you!"
Chu Liuxiang frowned again, and said in a deep voice: "Now, since they already know that you are suspicious of them, and they must have seen that you were pretending to be sick last night, wouldn't your situation be more dangerous?"
Han Wen smiled lightly and said, "But now that I haven't exposed them, they naturally won't tell the truth. They already know that I have doubts about them, so they dare not act rashly along the way! What's more... I will be afraid of them? "
Chu Liuxiang said: "Are they going to wait until we arrive at the 'Yongcui Villa' before making a move?"
Han Wen said: "It seems that it must be so."
Chu Liuxiang said: "If that's the case, they must have prepared a way to deal with us in the 'Yongcui Villa'. Given the power of the Huqiu Li family in the Jianghu, this move must be no small matter."
Han Wen said: "Not bad."
Chu Liuxiang said: "Since we know now, are we going to die?"
Han Wen looked at the scroll in his hand and said, "Although there are tens of thousands of people, I will go!"
Chu Liuxiang was silent for a while, then sighed: "That's right, don't say it's you, just talk about myself, naturally I can't leave Rong'er and the others there, and we don't have to worry too much. There will be another conspiracy like the 'Rainstorm Pear Blossom Nail'."
Han Wen said: "How can you see it?"
Chu Liuxiang said: "With the power of the Li family in Jianghu, if they want to plot against me, they can only use other people as scapegoats in other places. After they arrive at the 'Yongcui Villa', how dare they use these despicable methods again? ? How dare they destroy the decades-long chivalrous reputation of 'Yongcui Villa'?"
Han Wen nodded and said: "That's right, they don't use their own hidden weapons, but use the 'Rainstorm Pear Blossom Nail', just to avoid tarnishing the momentum of 'Yongcui Villa', if you die under the Pear Blossom Nail, naturally no one will think it's Li The poisonous hand of the family's children. Have you figured it out now?"
Chu Liuxiang sighed: "No wonder that person threw away such a precious hidden weapon as soon as he missed a hit. It turned out that he was afraid that we would find the 'Rainstorm Pear Blossom Nail' in their hands."
Han Wen said: "Actually, you should have thought about it a long time ago. Besides the children of the Li family, who else can get such a precious hidden weapon? Except for the children of the Li family who are rich in the south of the Yangtze River, who can spend 20 yuan for a single shot?" Two silvers?"
Chu Liuxiang smiled and said: "It's a pity that they steal chickens and lose a lot of rice, but they are cheap for us. For nothing, they got a hidden weapon that is more precious than gold."
Han Wen shook his head and smiled, "But I would rather ask for 20 taels of silver."
The two laughed at each other, they seemed to have forgotten all the dangers of this trip, they even forgot that if they died in "Yongcui Villa", the silver and hidden weapons would still belong to others.
The word "danger" didn't seem to exist in the heads of these two people.
Huqiu, the name of the mountain, formerly known as Haibi Mountain, is outside Changmen in Suzhou. According to legend, King Helu of Wu was buried in this mountain, with mercury as the coffin and gold and silver as the pit.Historical Records: The tomb of Hejian is located outside Changmen, Wuxian County. It was managed by 10 people, and the soil was collected to face the lake. Three days after the burial, a white tiger sat on it, so it was named Tiger Hill.
This mountain is not high, but it is full of some beautiful legends and myths. Since ancient times, it has been a must-see for talented scholars and poets.
As expected, Han Wen and the others had a safe journey and arrived in Suzhou.They didn't go around outside the city, but passed through the city. Li Yuhan and Liu Wumei were still talking and laughing happily, and no one could see that they had murderous intentions in their hearts.Did you guess Korean wrong?
Arriving in this city famous for its beauty, everyone can't help feeling a kind of tenderness in their hearts, who else would want to kill someone?The clean streets seem to be full of beautiful girls, their long braids swaying in the wind, smiling sweetly at people from time to time.
Chu Liuxiang suddenly smiled and said, "Have you ever discovered something interesting? People here don't like to wear shoes."
People walking around on the street really don't like to wear shoes, some are barefoot, some are dragging slippers, even if some wear shoes, they don't pull up the heels, but a pair of flat soles and flat toes. Wouldn't it be more interesting to see the slender feet as white as jade in the wooden clogs painted with gold?
Chu Liuxiang smiled again: "Do you know why they don't like to wear shoes? I have already discovered the reason."
Li Yuhan couldn't help but asked, "Why?"
Chu Liuxiang clapped his hands and said, "Just because their feet are more beautiful than people from other places, wouldn't it be a waste of money if they don't let people see more?"
Suzhou girls not only have beautiful feet, but most of them have natural feet. When you go outside the city, you can see girls carrying jasmine flower baskets, chasing the passing chariots and horses lightly, sometimes jumping on the shafts of the carts, sometimes jumping off. With Wu Nong's soft words like Huang Ying's twitter, who can bear not to buy their two flowers?
Seven miles outside the city is Huqiu Mountain.But once you get out of the city gate, you can see the green and majestic mountain in the distance, just like a tiger squatting there, full of vitality, calm from head to tail.
They walked through Gusu on foot, and returned to the car at this time. Chu Liuxiang opened the car window, looked at these young and lively girls, and couldn't help laughing at Han Wen: "These little girls are so brisk. Good materials for martial arts, if you practice lightness kung fu, I will never be worse than you."
Han Wen glanced at it, and said slowly: "They also practiced it since they were young. They don't know how many times they have to jump up and down on the carriage every day. They are much more diligent than me practicing kung fu by myself."
Before he finished speaking, a girl in a green cloth blouse and with a big shiny braid jumped onto the shaft of the car, holding a jasmine ball in her hand, and said with a smile: "A very fragrant jasmine, my lord!" Buy two of them!"
Chu Liuxiang looked at her small hands like spring onions, and couldn't help laughing: "Is it the fragrance of flowers? Or the fragrance of your hands?"
The little girl blushed, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Naturally it's the fragrance of flowers, if you don't believe me, just smell it."
Chu Liuxiang laughed and was about to pick up flowers, but Han Wen snatched it first, and said with a smile, "All good flowers have thorns, does this flower have thorns? Don't pierce my nose."
The little girl giggled and said, "My lord is really good at telling jokes, how can there be a thorny jasmine in the world?"
Han Wen said: "In this case, I will buy a few. It's a pity that although this flower is good, there is no one who wears it... I have to pass this flower to the girl again."
He suddenly sent the bouquet to the little girl again.
The little girl's complexion suddenly changed, she turned over in the air, retreated about a foot away, turned around and fled away as if flying.
Chu Liuxiang frowned and said, "You pervert, it's unseemly to scare the little girl like this!"
Han Wen snorted coldly and said, "If I don't scare her away, she will kill you and me."
Chu Liuxiang lost her voice: "What did you say?"
Han Wen didn't answer, but tore the jasmine ball lightly, and saw a dozen small needles glowing with black light in the flower ball.
Chu Liuxiang said in amazement: "Poison needle?"
Han Wen snorted coldly: "If I didn't pick it up quickly, as long as she flicked her little hand, would you and I still want to live at this moment?"
Han Wen was silent for a while, wiped off his sweat, and couldn't help but ask, "How did you find out this time?"
Han Wen looked at Chu Liuxiang and said, "I really can't imagine how you meddled in so many other things and survived... These little girls have been selling flowers on this road since they were young. It can be seen that they are all children of poor families. Selling flowers and helping with housework at night, how could there be such white and tender hands as hers?"
Chu Liuxiang was stunned for a while, then smiled bitterly and said, "Your eyes are really amazing."
Han Wen said: "Also, these little girls are all born and raised here, how can they speak her standard official language? I knew something was wrong as soon as I heard her speak."
Chu Liuxiang sighed: "I've been fooling around for nothing... I'm not at peace!" He suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Do you think this little girl was also sent by his husband and wife?"
Han Wen wrapped all the poisonous needles in a square scarf and said, "When we get here, how can there be other people? If this incident happens, they can of course say that they don't know about it. If it doesn't happen, it has nothing to do with them." .”
Chu Liuxiang was silent for a while, then murmured: "It seems that the place we are going to is not Tiger Hill, but Tiger Den."
Han Wen closed his eyes, and said lightly, "If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you catch a tiger's cubs."
Chu Liuxiang smiled and said, "It's not a tiger son, it's a tiger girl."
When they arrived in front of the main mountain gate of Huqiu, everyone got off their horses. Li Yuhan and Liu Wumei were still talking and laughing happily, as if they didn't know what happened just now.Could it be that the little girl has nothing to do with them?Could it be that you guessed wrong in Korean again?
Outside the mountain gate, there is a small market, a small river meanders through it, and there are three or five painting boats parked beside the river, and there are charming smiles like silver bells coming from the painting boats from time to time.
After entering the mountain gate, there are many small shops on both sides, and there are many beggars. When they saw someone coming, they gathered around to beg, and some people respectfully smiled and said, "Is Mr. Li back? Ma'am, hello."
Chu Liuxiang and Han Wen glanced at each other, but secretly guessed in their hearts: "I don't know if there are any real disciples of the beggars among these beggars?"
When I was thinking, I had already arrived at the famous Thousand People Stone.
There is only one big rock that can seat thousands of people. At a glance, not only can you not see the side, you can't even see a blade of grass. There is a small stone platform to the north of the big rock.
Just listen to Liu Wumei said leisurely: "Therefore, according to legend, in the past, the eunuch of King Wu used a thousand craftsmen to build a tomb here. All of them were buried alive under this stone, so this stone is called "Thousand People Stone."
This cruel story was narrated from her mouth, but it seemed that there was not even a trace of blood. Chu Liuxiang couldn't help asking: "Then what is the stone platform?"
Liu Wumei said: "That is the lecture platform of the divine monk Zhu Daosheng, on which there are four seal characters written by Li Yangbing of the Tang Dynasty, which means 'Sheng Gong's platform', and the stone beside the white lotus pond is the famous nodding stone. , as the saying goes: "Shenggong speaks, and the stubborn stone nods", this allusion comes from here."
Her steps were as light as her voice, and the mountain wind blew from behind the rock, blowing away her hair bun and waving her skirt, and she seemed to be going away with the wind.
Chu Liuxiang was fascinated by what she heard and what she saw, but she couldn't help but sigh in her heart: "Can such a fairy-like beauty really be a murderer?"
Then they walked up to the sword pond.
I saw dense forests on all sides, and Xiaobi was secluded and emerald.A wooden bridge lies across the pool like a rainbow. The water in the pool is green and cold, with duckweed dotted on it.
Standing by the pool, Han Wen felt a gust of cold wind blowing towards his face, and the green pool water seemed to hide bursts of murderous intent.
In the distance, autumn clouds converge, and evening bells sound faintly in the breeze.
Chu Liuxiang smiled and said: "Li Xiuqing, a famous scholar in the Tang Dynasty, praised this water as the fifth spring in the world, but he didn't know that this water is the most suitable for sharpening swords. It is the place for ancient swordsmen to sharpen their swords. Now there is the first contemporary swordsman, Old Senior Li, here Pinti, the word 'Jianchi' really deserves a name."
Liu Wumei said with a smile: "It is said that this name has another origin."
Han Wen turned his head and said, "Oh?"
Liu Wumei said: "It is said that the tomb of Helu, King of Wu, is under this sword pool. When he died, he was buried with thirty famous swords, and even the fish sausage sword that was specially used for all kinds of swords was in it, so this place is called the sword pool. "
Han Wen smiled lightly, and said: "If I am also buried here, next to a male ghost like King Wu, it will be considered a worthwhile life and a well-deserved death."
Liu Wumei remained expressionless, and smiled sweetly: "Since Mr. Han knows that this is the fifth spring in the world, do you know that the third spring in the world is also here?"
Bypassing Jianchi, you can see a very large stone well, more than ten feet wide, and beside the well is a hexagonal pavilion surrounded by Zhulan.
Chu Liuxiang interjected, and said with a smile: "This is probably the third spring in the world, 'Lu Yu Tea Well'. In the past, Senior Li invited famous swordsmen from all over the world to cook tea and taste swords here. The style of seniors is really admirable. to the end."
Suddenly one person sighed and said: "It's a pity that although the mountains and rivers remain the same, the faces of people are completely different."
