Tang Dizhihua

In the middle of the night, the moonlight filled the ground.

The man in purple dragged Zhao San and his daughter out of the house, and put the knife on Orion's neck.

The man in purple searched around, and finally came to report: "I didn't find it."

Xiao Ye lowered his face, glanced at the father and daughter, drew out his dagger, dragged the little girl by the collar, and stared at the dark house beyond the light of the torch.

"Li Shuozhi! I know you are nearby. I started counting, and if you don't come out, I'll cut off the little lady's fingers one by one. Think about it, they saved you, but you repay your kindness with revenge. Watching my benefactor fall in a pool of blood."

Li Yi hid under the shadow of the house and had a panoramic view of all this.His hands trembled a little, and he held the dagger tightly, but he couldn't pull it out.

He tried his best to control his breathing to prevent himself from being discovered by the other party. He wanted to save the father and daughter, but his legs were too weak to straighten up.

"Master... If it was you, would you save me?"

Li Yi suddenly closed his eyes.The master's teachings in the past are vivid in his memory. Although his strength is not in martial arts, he will still stand up when he finds something unfair, and then return to his wounds to let the uncle jump.The uncle taught him benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith, and the uncle taught him by precept and example what is chivalry...and how would they choose?

"So, what's your answer?" Xiao Ye listened quietly for a while, then his heart became ruthless, and the dagger fell down hard.

"Ah—you bastard!" Orion's eyes were red, and he tried his best to break free, but he was stabbed in the back.

Looking at this scene, Li Yi's eyes turned red instantly.

Master's vengeance for serious injuries, and the inhumane behavior in front of him made him unable to think anymore, so he pulled out his sword in an instant, and slashed out——

The sword light is as bright as flying, as fast as thunder and lightning.

"I killed you!"

In the woods, Lu Da, the leader of the internal guards, let his subordinates hide temporarily.

"That's what we look at?"

Lu Da: "Shut up! The leader of the pavilion is interested in the purple-clothed man, but don't forget what our mission is. Later, when the young man gets tired of killing him, we will kill him in one fell swoop, and the fisherman will benefit. After killing the purple-clothed man People, and the person who got the key of the cabinet, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?"

"It kills two birds with one stone."

"Oh, they all mean the same thing."

"But...the father and daughter look like they are going to die."

"A few untouchables will die when they die."

While he was talking, Li Yi leaned against the wall and took a breath, and his voice filled the hillside with internal force: "Ambush on the mountain, I knew you were hiding on the mountain, and there is no door for those who want to make money! Those... none of you Don't want to know!"

After shouting this sentence, Lu Da is fine, but Xiao Ye is full of surprise and uncertainty.He ordered the team to shrink, and wandered around the mountains and forests nearby from the corner of his eye.

Li Yi said again: "I have already seen you!"

There were many people led by Lu Da, so he was not afraid. Fortunately, he also showed his team and looked at them with folded arms.

Only Xiao Ye's brain exploded with a buzzing sound, and he secretly thought that something was wrong.

"What you said is true?" Lu Dahao asked leisurely.

"nature."

"How did you find us?"

"When you ambush, you startled the birds on the tree."

"Oh..." Lu Da nodded.

"I know what you want." Li Yi was secretly wary of everyone, half-lowered his head so that people could not see his gloomy expression clearly, "but I will only tell one person. You can decide for yourself."

General Lu raised his eyebrows, and looked at Xiao Ye, who was the only one among the purple-clothed men who looked like a leader in ordinary clothes.

Xiao Ye tightened his grip on the knife in his hand.

"That one, you don't look like someone from Jianghu." Li Yi looked at Lu Da, "Army? People from the imperial court?"

Lu Da licked his lips: "You're not stupid."

Li Yi said: "I don't want to fight against the court at all. Let's do this, I have a family feud with those people." Pointing to Xiao Ye, "You help me kill them, I will go with you."

Lu Da saw him half leaning against the earthen wall, looking exhausted, knowing that he might not be able to kill him, so he nodded, "It's interesting..." After saying that, he drew his sword and chopped it off.

Xiao Ye's pupils shrank suddenly.

People in the snake spirits are generally killers, and their martial arts are not low, but they are facing a well-trained army, and it is a bit difficult to resist.After killing for a while, Lu Da found that this group of people was not low in force, so he couldn't help but use all his strength.Immediately, the two sides killed an even match.

Li Yi dragged Orion and the little girl out of the battle ring, staring blankly at his hands.

This was the first time he had blood on his hands, but it won't be the last.

The inner guards used a few people to form a small formation, with each other as horns, separating the snake spirits who were fighting on their own, and a few people attacked one person fiercely, and won the battle in a short time.

Although the number of snake spirits is large, they chased Li Yi for several days, and a few more people were killed just now, and their morale was greatly damaged. How could they defeat the well-trained inner guards?So when Xiao Ye came back to his senses and found that most of his people had been killed, his heart was cold, and he couldn't care about his punishment when he went back, so he shouted hoarsely: "Retreat!"

But I can't go anymore.As the men in purple fell down one by one, Xiao Ye also exhausted his strength. He looked back to the outside of the battle circle, and shouted hoarsely: "The snake spirit will not let you go!"

The night of killing still ended with the inner guard winning.Because of the bravery of the snake spirit, the inner guard also lost many people.Lu Da thought in his heart, thinking that at least there was a young man who could do business, but when he looked around, there was no sign of that young man?

"Search for me! Dig three feet and find him for me!"

Just before sunrise, the night is at its thickest.The moon is temporarily obscured.

The inner guard held a torch and searched around.He suddenly saw a shadow behind him, but before he could give a warning, his throat was cut.

Li Yi took his torch and continued to walk around.

"Zhao Qi, how is your side? Zhao Qi? Uh—"

"He's over there! Chase!" The sound of swords and swords gradually faded away.

The darkest time has finally passed, and the sky has begun to show a touch of whiteness, but the surrounding area is still very dark.

Li Yi's sword was covered with blood, he flicked the blood off the sword, wiped it preciously, and then put it back into the sheath.

His body was also covered with blood, there were other people's blood, and there was also his own, they were all in one piece, and they could not be distinguished for a long time.

He staggered to the side of the simple house, and saw the two Orion father and daughter who were dragged out of the battle ring by him.The little girl's hair was still the double bun she had tied into her ears yesterday, and the blood on her hands had dried up, she leaned against his grandfather's arms, motionless.

He checked the two people's noses, and stretched out his hand to feel the pulse, only then did he realize that the two of them were already cold.

Li Yi finally couldn't help but coughed heart-piercingly.

"Master...Master, I miss you..."

"I think the apprentice is talking about me."

After lying down for more than half a year with serious injuries, Yun Qi, who finally recovered, glanced at the morning sun, tilted her head and said to Shangguan Yan.

"Your apprentice talks about you every day, brother knows." Shangguan Yan said with a calm expression.

"But I always feel uneasy, whether my apprentice eats on time, does he practice martial arts on time..."

"..." Shangguan Yan responded silently, not telling him that the last time he received a letter from Li Yi was a few months ago.The letter said that he set off from Luoyang, went south along the water, and wanted to travel from Huzhou to Jiangzhou.

Since then, no more news has come.Pei Jia felt that something was wrong, and had already left for Huzhou, counting the time, it was time to arrive.

"When will the apprentice come back to see me..." Yun Qi rambled.

Shangguan Yan: "I didn't tell him about your injury."

"Hey!" Yun Qi said, "The weather is getting colder, will he remember to add clothes... When I picked him up, he was just such a small ball, shivering in the snow. Ah Yi is most afraid of the cold."

"He's in Jiangnan, so he won't be cold."

"He's in the south of the Yangtze River? Well, senior brother, you didn't tell me what your intentions are, do you want to occupy my apprentice?"

Shangguan Yan realized that he had said the wrong thing.But with Yun Qi's ingenuity, how could he not guess that there is something tricky in it, so he forced to ask: "Senior brother, what did you hide from me?"

Shangguan Yan had no choice but to say: "I'm not afraid that you will go out and run around before your injury recovers. Don't worry, Pei Jia has already gone."

Yun Qi cried: "Why is it him? He has been trying to rob my apprentice, but he failed under my strict defense. Why did you let him go alone..."

Shangguan Yan: "..." It was another day of speechlessness.

"Don't move, I'll make the medicine." Shangguan Yan patted his junior brother's dog's head and said secretly.

He added an extra spoonful of Coptis chinensis to the medicine, and pushed open the door of Yun Qi's room in a good mood.

There was no one inside the door.
