Although the vast majority of us live in comfort, it does not mean that it is a comfortable world. There are struggles that are not happening around us, and there are struggles that we are not aware of even when they are around. Jianghu is a world where devils and angels coexist, full of contradictions and fun, and sometimes inevitably a little tragic and cruel.

Bidding farewell to Gillian and Chen Pi, Li Muye knew that the only way to make this safe passage truly safe was to let all those in the know disappear except for the user. Chen Pi and Gillian have been comfortable for eighteen years, and from the moment Li Muye stepped into the Rejuvenation Hall with Bai Crescent, the rivers and lakes have prepared a home for the two.

If you choose the romance of the rivers and lakes, you have to learn to adapt to its cold cruelty.

Fly from the southern hemisphere in the cold weather to the northern hemisphere in the middle of summer. As soon as Li Muye got off the plane, he took the white crescent moon to the beautiful Lake Zurich area despite his tiredness.

The marina on the lake is full of yachts, like a club for the rich. At the end of the stretch of Lake Zurich deep into the city center, white swans and wild ducks can be seen everywhere on the lake. The northern shore of Lake Zurich is home to the wealthy and is known as the Golden Shore, while the southern shore is known as the Silver Shore.

It's an elegant bar with a slow atmosphere and pace, with a mellow whisky aroma and a melodious saxophone touch.

Li Muye walked to the bar with Bai Crescent on his back, and smiled at the short, strong, and long, oily black Chinese inside: "Is there any Chinese medicine?"

The middle-aged man's face changed slightly, and he paused in the action of wiping the wine bottle, and quickly returned to normal, nodded, and asked rhetorically, "What do you want?"

Li Muye said: "I want angelica and astragalus." ”

The middle-aged man's lips twitched slightly, and he said, "Where are you from?"

Li Muye said: "The south wind blew, and I bought tangerine peel and ejiao first." ”

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "Wait a minute, I'll explain, let's go to the back and talk slowly." ”

Li Muye looked at his hand trembling slightly behind him, and nodded quietly: "Okay." ”

••••••

Backyard.

"Which city in North America are you going to?" asked the middle-aged man with a kind smile on his face.

Li Muye said: "New York, Chicago, any eastern city can be. ”

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "Understood, don't worry, I will arrange it as soon as possible." He turned around and was about to leave.

"Brother Huang stayed. Li Muye stopped him and asked, "Brother Huang is here, what are your next steps?"

This person's name is Astragalus, he frowned when he heard this, and said, "Mr. is here to borrow the Tao, how to go and listen to Huang's arrangement, why bother asking so much." ”

"Just ask. Li Muye withdrew the uncomfortable gaze of the other party and said, "Brother Huang will arrange to go." ”

Huang Qi said politely: "The two of you have a good rest here for a few hours, I have sent someone to clean the room, and the supplies have been replaced with new ones, and when I arrange the path, I will come back and send the two of you on the road." ”

Li Muye said with a smile: "No need, we can just wait in the bar." ”

Astragalus was very polite: "The journey is tiring, and there is a bed in the room, which can relieve the fatigue, after all, the next two of you will have to fly across the Atlantic." ”

Li Muye waved his hand and said, "Brother Huang doesn't have to be polite, I want to go to the front for a drink." ”

Huang Qi looked at Bai Xinyue and said, "Then let the children rest in the room." ”

Li Muye flatly refused: "She is with me." ”

Astragalus no longer insisted, nodded, and said, "Since that's the case, please feel free." ”

There were not many customers in the bar, and the saxophone was played by a black man, a blind man who was huge and fat, but a song of the Babylon River was performed by him affectionately and tactfully, and it pointed to people's hearts.

The rich and full sound quality, tactful and gorgeous skills, pour out the deep affection in the heart like flowing water. A white lady listened with tears in her eyes and recited to the music in an affectionate voice: O Babylon, how quiet you are when you flow, and how peaceful the night is, but how do you know how desolate we persecuted strangers are right next to you, may the Holy One also know our hearts, our prayers and our meditations......

As soon as the door of the bar opened, a middle-aged man with black beard and yellow skin and a young man with long brown hair dressed in the costume of an Indian monk entered side by side. The two of them walked straight to the bar, asked for a bottle of wine and two glasses, and found a random table to sit down, drink wine and listen to music.

Li Muye and Bai Crescent sat in the corner and ordered a bottle of tequila and a drink. Bai Xinyue whispered on the table: There is something wrong with these two people.

"Hmm. Li Muye nodded, and also wrote on the table with his finger: It's okay, everything has me.

I'm more worried that something is wrong with the astragalus.

Li Muye responded with a smile and wrote: Don't worry, he must have a problem.

Then you don't want to go?" Bai Xinyue looked a little anxious.

Li Muye grabbed her with his big hand and wrote on the palm of his hand: Don't worry, everything has me.

Six words, one commitment.

Bai Xinyue looked at Li Muye fixedly, and finally lowered her head and wrote on the palm of her hand: Thank you.

There were guests in the bar again, and a tall black man came in a cloak out of tune with the season, and a pair of large brass rings hanging from his ears stood out so that it was easy to overlook the short knife with a colorful pattern at his waist.

The black man entered the door with the front foot, and the third white man from the second and second feet followed by the second and second white men. The old man has white hair and deep blue eyes. The two middle-aged men are twins, with funny smiles on their faces, and their gestures are frivolous. One of them had a crow standing on his shoulder, while the other had been looking at the rest of the bar from the moment he entered. He looked at almost everyone very carefully, but only when he saw Li Muye and Bai Xinyue's table, he jumped over directly.

After a while, a middle-aged man with black hair, blue eyes, and a hand-made crisp suit walked in with an umbrella. first stood at the door and looked around, nodding slightly whenever he made eye contact with someone, and finally walked straight to Li Muye's table.

The middle-aged man hung the umbrella on his left forearm, bowed slightly, and asked, "I'm sorry, excuse me, is it Mr. Li Muye?"

"It's not. Li Muye replied in Chinese.

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Mr. Li has a great sense of humor, but to borrow an old saying from you Chinese, don't tell lies in front of real people, you are very dishonorable." ”

Li Muye noticed that the handle of his umbrella was gold, with an S engraved on it, and his crisp suit had a family emblem in the shape of a letter K. The former represents his level of strength, while the latter indicates that he is a member of the Imperial Power Alliance's core elder level.

"We Chinese still have an old saying, don't talk nonsense to fools who ask knowingly. Li Muye said coldly.

The middle-aged man frowned: "Mr. Li, you have insulted a noble gentleman very uneducated, and I am ashamed of your words and deeds." ”

Li Muye calmly: "Your Excellency, you are very good at pretending to be educated, but educated people usually don't take the initiative to disturb others, just do what you want to do, don't put this hypocritical aristocratic style in front of Lao Tzu, no matter how much you pretend, you can't hide the smell of robbers on you, and you still want to set up an archway when you are a bitch, go to your imperial alliance!"

The middle-aged man slammed the umbrella on the ground, took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and said, "Mr. Li, you are very unfriendly and uneducated, and the reason why I still communicate with you in this way is because I hope to solve your and my problems in a peaceful way." He pointed at Bai Crescent and said, "The current situation is that someone asks for her at a high price that we can't refuse, and we are determined to get it, so no matter what choice you make, we will take her away." ”

"It looks like we've agreed. Li Muye spread his hands and said: "Leave the nonsense and talk about it later, just do what you want to do." ”

"Mr. Li, I don't like to solve problems in this way. The middle-aged man continued in an authentic London accent: "I heard that you are a smart person, so I hope to settle disputes in a smart way, she is the heir of the White Cloud Hall, and Mr. Anasayev of Eastern Siberia does not like to accept the nominal control of the White Cloud Hall, if you hand her over to me, Mr. Huang of the South Sea Gate and the Taiping Society will be very satisfied, and our Royal Highness the Princess will also have the same opinion." ”

Bai Xinyue sat there quietly and listened, looking very calm, but in fact, her little hand was already unconsciously clenching Li Muye's big hand.

"She's my daughter. Li Muye said: "If you want to take her away, you must cut off my head first, if you don't have this determination, you will get away for me." ”

"It's not that hard!"

Before the middle-aged man could finish speaking, he suddenly pulled out a long and narrow sword from the umbrella and stabbed it viciously at Li Muye's throat. He was in a harmonious mood before, but his hand was yin and ruthless, and the long sword stabbed at Li Muye like a poisonous snake. There is no sense of mercy.

Li Muye had already held the Tiger Jiao Bone Blade in his hand, and the moment the other party made a move, his heart beat violently, and the sound of his muscles and bones bursting out was clear in his ears, and he didn't have to look at the movements, Li Muye already knew that he was going to make a move. The Tiger Jiao Bone Blade appeared accurately on the trajectory of the long sword's piercing, and swept it lightly.

The Tiger Jiao's bone blade is short, and the long sword is not made of ordinary steel, and the comparison between the two seems to be obvious. The middle-aged man stabbed down unswervingly, and suddenly felt a light in his hand, and the tiger Jiao bone blade cut off the long sword, and it had already chased down the long sword to his hand. He decisively abandoned his sword and retreated, his movements were too fast, Li Muye couldn't keep up at all, and watched him retreat three steps away, and hurriedly turned his palm and poked out a wax pill from his sleeve, and a silver light and white mist erupted in his hand, and the paralysis needle was hidden, and at the same time he attacked the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was caught off guard, but he reacted very quickly, and his action speed was by no means comparable to that of ordinary fighting masters. The first thing you do when you stand up is to fix your hair and dust off your body. In the end, he was annoyed and angry: "Do it!"

Suddenly, the firelight lit up, and the first person to attack was the tall black man, as soon as the middle-aged man's voice fell, this guy took the lead in getting up from the chair, and when he was halfway through, his whole body suddenly burst into flames, and his whole body was bathed in firelight, and the gods and demons came to Li Muye......
