Chapter 171: Second Shot
Although it is evening, there are still many visitors in the Tang Paradise, and it is a pleasant thing to walk along the lake in the early summer evening.
But looking at the beautiful scenery in front of him, the old man next to Li Siming suddenly sighed and said: "The wind blows the lake, and the water waves!"
"Why did the old brother suddenly sigh, did he feel emotional, did he think of something?" Li Siming raised his eyebrows and asked out loud.
"Hehe, since World War II, the whole world has been stable for decades, but I am afraid that this stable day will be broken!" Li Shijian sighed again.
Li Siming was taken aback: "No, is it going to be a world war again?"
"Hehe, it's not as serious as you think, a world war is impossible, at least you and I can't see it. Recently, however, there have been some signs that the major countries are not at peace and may provoke some trouble. Li Shijian replied.
"If it's foreign, let them toss, anyway, it has nothing to do with me. Li Siming said with a smile.
Li Shijian shook his head: "I'm afraid that this time it is not only related to us, but also our Li family has to be the pioneer!"
"Did Brother Shijian hear some news?" Li Siming couldn't calm down at this time, and hurriedly asked.
"I didn't hear the news, but I saw some bad signs. Glancing at the wind-wrinkled water surface again, Li Shijian said slowly: "First the Zhu family ran thousands of miles from the capital to Xijing to rob us of our underworld forces, and then the Fusang ninja assassinated my Li people, none of this is a simple matter!"
Li Siming frowned and thought about it, but didn't come up with a reason, so he asked: "What's not simple about these two things, can Brother Shijian solve my confusion?"
"Xiao Ming, you have an impulsive personality when you are young, but you are quite assertive, you are a good general, the family has been able to stand in Xijing City over the years, you are indispensable! But after all, you are not a descendant, you don't know much about some things, and your vision is limited. It used to be okay, but now the situation seems to be calm, but in fact, there is an undercurrent, you have to be careful!" Li Shijian looked at Li Siming and said seriously.
When he said this, Li Siming's mood couldn't help but become heavy, and he replied respectfully: "I will definitely be more careful, but what aspects need to be paid attention to, and I need more guidance from Brother Shijian!"
Li Shijian said: "Let's just talk about the Zhu family, since the end of that war and the reconstruction of the whole country of China, each family has been secretly developing its own strength, even if there is a conflict, it is only some small conflicts between neighboring families." But this time, the Zhu family crossed thousands of miles and went to Sanqin Province to grab land with our Li family, and the intention is worth figuring out!"
Li Siming frowned and replied: "Regarding the Zhu family's moves, the family just let us observe secretly, but we haven't observed the reason yet, I don't know what the family is going to do next?"
"For the time being, it's still an observation, Zhu Gongzi is pressing, you might as well give him all the underworld forces and see what he does next. The family just feels that his move is unusual, but its true purpose is not clear, it is just associated with some abnormal actions in the world, we have to be vigilant!"
"What Brother Shijian said is that we must be vigilant!" Li Siming hurriedly said.
According to our family's records, Fusang ninjas have a strict lineage, and Fusang has always been afraid of the strength of our Huaxia, unless the national strength is weak, or it is at war with foreign clans, otherwise the Fusang ninja will not appear in the land of China! But this time the ninja went deep into the interior as soon as he appeared, but he also chose the same place as the Zhu family, I am afraid there is some connection!"
"As soon as the Zhu family came, they wanted to unify the underworld, and the Fusang ninja also targeted our Li family, this matter is indeed a bit of a coincidence, should it be ......" Li Siming did not directly say his guess, but the meaning in his words was obvious.
"That shouldn't be, no matter what the Zhu family says, it is also a big family, and you have to pay attention to some influences when doing things, even if you collude with foreign clans, you won't send foreign killers as soon as you make a move, otherwise the matter will be exposed, even if his Zhu family has the Zhou family as a backer, he can't hold back!" Li Shijian said with certainty.
"Then it should be some kind of coincidence, but what kind of coincidence could it be?" Li Siming frowned. If that Fuso ninja doesn't find out, he won't be at peace for a day!
"You don't have to be too stressed, ninjas can't be considered ordinary existences, it just so happens that there is a magic weapon exchange meeting in Nanshan during the Dragon Boat Festival, and I came this time to find a way to deal with ninjas specifically for you. Li Shijian said with a smile.
"Oh, Brother Shijian is actually here specifically for this matter? That's really thank you brother, you see how I can thank you for this!" Li Siming couldn't help but be overjoyed, if the people in Zhongnan Mountain were willing to make a move, then he would have nothing to worry about.
Li Shijian said with a smile: "If you say this, you will see the outside, you can't write two Li characters in one stroke, we are a family after all, who else can I help if I don't help you!"
"If you can make a trip in person, you must thank you!" The knot in his heart was untied, and Li Siming felt a lot more relaxed, so he asked with a smile: "What is the name of the magic weapon exchange meeting that my brother said, why have I never heard of it?"
"It's a secret, you just need to know it, don't tell anyone else. As he spoke, he leaned into Li Siming's ear and whispered: "There will be an exchange meeting in Zhongnan Mountain every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, just like the bazaar we opened, but most of the participants are hermits in Zhongnan Mountain, and the things traded are not ordinary commodities, but magical artifacts that have magical effects, or items that are useful to those hermits." ”
"Oh, it turns out that those hermits also do business, I don't know if they also use money to trade?" Li Siming suddenly realized, and also said in a low voice.
"It's not about doing business, it's mostly about communicating with each other. At that exchange meeting, bartering was usually carried out, and there was rarely money to trade. Li Shijian explained.
"Well, that's in the style of the hermits. Li Siming nodded.
Then the two returned to their normal voices, never mentioned anything about Zhongnanshan again, and began to talk about the Li family's industry in Xijing.
When the two old men walked slowly around the small lake, a young man in his thirties, very thin, walked over from the opposite side, also slowly and leisurely, stopping and watching by the lake as he walked, looking like an ordinary tourist.
The young man didn't deliberately observe the two of them, so he didn't notice that the young man's attention was focused on himself!
After discovering the goal of this trip, Chen Li's speed slowed down, his eyes observed the surrounding environment, but his ears were trying his best to catch the voices coming from the two old men.
As a ninja who was good at assassination, Chen Li knew that a master who had cultivated martial arts to a certain level would have an intuition that if he looked at it a few more times, he might be discovered, and in this case, he would have to rely on other methods to track the enemy's movements.
Walking leisurely like an ordinary tourist, Chen Li soon noticed that the two old men were walking along the lake, and it seemed that they would not change their route for the time being.
Chen Li couldn't help but rejoice in his heart, if this was the case, it would be good news! After he made a move, he would be able to jump into the water immediately and use the technique of escaping from the water to escape! With such a big lake, I believe that no one can catch him, which is much easier than getting out of Furong Villa last time!
Li Shijian and Li Siming are not abnormal, and I have to say that ninjas are still very good at hiding themselves.
may be because of the difference in identity, Li Siming has always been one step behind Li Shijian.
Chen Li and the two of them staggered three or four meters apart, and just when the three of them formed a straight line, Chen Li shot without warning - dozens of cold stars shot out between his hands, covering a radius of three meters!
Chen Li didn't know the old man beside Li Siming, but he could see that the other party's skills were profound, or there was a way to deal with this flying needle. But if you want to protect Li Siming, you must completely block Li Siming behind, at such a close distance, the other party will definitely not be able to react!
The moment the flying needle shot, Chen Li had already rushed to the edge of the lake quickly, and his hands were continuously knotted.
It only takes three seconds for him to perform the Water Escape Technique, and then no one will be able to catch him!
The sudden change surprised Li Shijian, he never thought that the assassin would dare to assassinate Li Siming in front of him!
Feeling the sharpness of that little bit of coldness, Li Shijian's expression was sad, knowing that with his own cultivation, he would not be able to protect Li Siming!
But he still used his body technique to the extreme, pulling Li Siming violently, while pushing his fingers hard, and shooting down the flying needles one by one.
Under Li Shijian's pull, Li Siming turned to the side of his body and faced those flying needles with the smallest area. But no matter how fast Li Shijian's speed was, how many flying needles could he drop in an instant? He could only watch as a few cold rays shot towards Li Siming......
Chen Li ran towards the lake while focusing on Li Shijian's body.
He guessed that Li Shijian would save Li Siming, and the bodyguard had to have the consciousness of being a bodyguard. But if you meet a guy who has the ability to make decisions, and finds that he can't do anything, he ignores his employer, and instead takes him down, it's not impossible.
If he encounters such an opponent, it will be troublesome, and Chen Li has to guard against such a situation, so although he is performing the water escape technique in the seal, he is also ready to interrupt at any time and make a few moves with the other party.
But the situation is obviously not so bad, the bodyguard is trying his best to protect his employer, but Chen Li knows that what he can't protect, there is always a flying needle that can hit Li Siming!
There are very vicious toxins on this kind of flying needle, which can make people itch all over the body and unbearable, but it is not fatal, and there is no way to remove it in ordinary hospitals, it is definitely a sharp weapon for torturing people! This is exactly Chen Li's purpose, not to kill Li Siming, but to give him some color to see!
