Chapter 170: The Only Reliance
Above the sky, the wind is clear and the clouds are white, the light is soft, and it is a peaceful scene. Birds and beasts are flying freely, enjoying the rare good weather and bathing in the warm sunshine. But at this moment, a figure that was also flying in the air did not feel warm at all, but flew in the sky and felt a hot pain on his body.
Because, this man's body was covered with wounds, large and small, his clothes were in tatters, his hair was fluffy, and he was a little wolf. A white cloth robe, which was originally quite chic, was stained with wisps of blood, and became colorful and green, and suddenly became a lot more ugly, causing a series of birdsong sounds one after another, as if mocking.
"I'm so angry!!I'm so angry!! even you brutes dare to laugh at me!
After a moment, the man's face suddenly turned gloomy, his face was already ugly and gray-faced, if he hadn't run fast, I am afraid that he would not only touch his nose and be dirty, but would have lost his life.
Thinking that he had finally escaped from Chu Longyu's evil star, the man's heart couldn't help but feel a burst of fear, and his back was wet all of a sudden.
At this time, he suddenly heard the chirping of birds and beasts in his ears, the man turned his head to look, and found that the birds and beasts turned around and looked at themselves, when the beast's mouth opened and closed, they all seemed to be laughing at themselves, the man suddenly became angry and his face was pale, his body trembled, and he waved his palms to both sides.
"Hmph! Old Devil Chu is really excessive, not to mention cutting off my family's business, and he can't even get the goods back. I took so many people with me just now, but I was the only one who escaped alive. If it weren't for the fact that I was the same as Old Demon Chu, I was afraid that I would be destroyed by him with that blow alone, and I would be angry to death! I didn't expect this old guy to have not been born for ten years, and his strength had improved so much. ”
However, as soon as he thought of what happened to him in the Chu family just now, the more angry the man became, and the more angry he became, the more he couldn't swallow this breath, thinking that he was also the head of the top ten families, but his strength was so much lower than Chu Longyu, the man clenched his fists unwillingly.
Then, thinking about it, the man's body trembled with anger, but he was not angry that his family's business was forcibly interrupted by Chu Longyu, but because he had been too focused on business all these years and neglected his cultivation.
"No, I must settle this account. But before that, now is not the time to go to Old Demon Chu to settle accounts. My Li family's business is broken, and there will inevitably be a disaster in my family. We must first find a way to solve the payment withheld by Old Demon Chu. But where else can I go to solve the problem of this money?
Alas, I didn't expect that I, Li Shuangbai, had walked the rivers and lakes for so many years, thinking that I had gained a firm foothold in the empire and worked hard for 30 years, but now I accidentally ended up like this, and I knew that I should have told the representatives sent out by my family that I should not support Yuan Ruofei.
The Chu family was too powerful, and its business spread throughout almost the entire empire. Now that Old Demon Chu has drawn a line with my Li family because of the killing of his son, presumably the other eight major families will no longer have dealings with my Li family. Where can I get the money? If I don't have the money, I can't go back now. ”
In the end, Li Shuangbai thought about it and found that he had been based in the empire for so many years, but he didn't even have a friend who could really help him, so he couldn't help but feel a little sad, and sighed long, feeling that he had lived in vain for decades, and it was not as good as the time when he was down, but at that time, there were still a few friends around him.
"Wait! I'm not without friends! Master Du Zhe, yes. Isn't there a super-famous fortune teller Wu Chenjun in the empire in the past ten years? Although I haven't seen it, but listening to rumors outside, this person's ability is very similar to Master Du Zhe, and he can also divinate the past and the future, could it be said that Wu Chenjun is Master Du Zhe?"
However, after thinking about it again, Li Shuangbai thought that when he was down, it was Du Zhe who helped him to gain a firm foothold in the empire, and successfully made the Li family squeeze into the ranks of the top ten families in the empire, Li Shuangbai smiled happily.
"That's right! It must be so! Otherwise, who else can be as accurate as Master Du Zhe's calculations? I understand, it must be Master Du Zhe who deliberately changed his name because he was afraid that the enemy would come to seek revenge. I seem to remember that Wu Chenjun's home lives not far from here!"
Then, thinking that when he had the honor to do business, he heard a customer proudly mention Wu Chenjun's matter to him, and roughly revealed the location of Wu Chenjun's house, Li Shuangbai's face suddenly appeared with a strong sense of excitement, and as soon as his body turned, he turned into a ray of light, rushed into the bamboo forest below him, and disappeared.
When he reappeared, Li Shuangbai had already come to a simple wooden house, which was Wu Chenjun's home. Li Shuangbai silently released a trace of breath to investigate, and found that there was indeed a young man inside, so he immediately grabbed the door and entered without knocking, so he smashed the door with an excited palm and broke in.
"You ......"
After entering the door, Li Shuangbai's eyes immediately fell on a wooden table.
I saw a handsome young man in a yellow robe staring at him without blinking, his face was full of horror that could not be concealed, obviously frightened, but his fingers were slightly pinched, and he began to calculate, Li Shuangbai saw that the technique was exactly the same as Du Zhe in his memory, and immediately laughed excitedly, and took two steps forward to hold the frightened man in his arms.
"Master Du Zhe!It's been a long time!!I miss you so much!!"
"Master Li, I'm sorry, please go back. ”
Before Li Shuangbai entered the door, he had already made up his mind that he couldn't borrow the money for the time being, so let Du Zhe help him divinate his future fortune. If your financial luck is not good, then ask Du Zhe to show you a way to make money, just like when you met each other thirty years ago.
However, Li Shuangbai found that he was rejected by the other party before he could make a request, and immediately laughed, thinking that Du Zhe was joking, patted the other party, and said, "Master Du Zhe, you still love to joke so much." I'd love to thank you, but now is not the time. I'm here today to ask for your help. Please don't joke with me. ”
"Master Li. You've misidentified the wrong person. I'm not what you said Du Zhe, my surname is Wu Mingchenjun. I don't know where you are talking about Du Zhe is sacred. I hope you don't make a mistake about Du Zhe in the next, I don't know Du Zhe in the next, and I don't want to meet, just want to be safe. Please go back. ”
At this time, I heard that the person in front of me deliberately pretended not to know him, Li Shuangbai's nose was sour, and he immediately felt that he was abandoned, Du Zhe was already the only friend he could rely on now, but as soon as he met, he was sternly rejected by the other party, the more Li Shuangbai thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt in his heart, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that his fate was miserable, and the more tragic he was, the more heartache he felt.
So, thinking about it, Li Shuangbai finally cried angrily, crying bitterly for his misfortune, but he still did not forget the only reliance on Jì Du Zhe in his heart, and kept trying to make the other party change his mind with words, hoping that at this critical moment, the other party could show him a way to save himself and save the Li family, instead of ruthlessly refusing.
"Master Du Zhe, how can you do this to me? Although I am now the head of the Li family, I still remember what I was like thirty years ago. At that time, I was still a small official of the imperial court, because I made a mistake, I was dismissed, and I almost starved to death on the street.
I will not move the Li family to that piece of bamboo forest, a treasure of feng shui, and I will not go all the way in the next 30 years. To have the current status is the kindness of the master. I Li Shuangbai always remember this. It's just that I'm too busy with business and haven't had a chance to thank you. If you help me again this time, I will definitely repay you with a double reward for my past kindness. ”
"Master Li, you really recognized the wrong person. I'm not the Du Zhe you know, under Wu Chenjun. It has been the name since birth and has never changed. ”
"Master Du Zhe, I know you're angry right now. That's as it should be. It's all my fault. I will repent in front of you now and confess my mistakes to you!"
However, finding that the bitter meat plan was useless, Li Shuangbai was ruthless, and hurriedly raised his hand to "snap" and began to slap himself.
Then, after seeing that he was almost delirious after being slapped, his cheeks hurt hotly, and Wu Chenjun was unwilling to help him, Li Shuangbai's face changed, his eyes stared at Wu Chenjun coldly, and he lifted Wu Chenjun up as soon as he raised his hand and grabbed it, changed his words and began to threaten, hoping that this would change.
"Master Du Zhe! Are you really so ruthless, you don't want to help me no matter what? If that's the case, then don't blame me for being unkind! Anyway, I, Li Shuangbai, are in trouble again now, if the problem can't be solved this time, I can't go home, Master Du Zhe, will you help or not? If you don't help, I'm afraid you won't see the sun tomorrow!"
"Master Li, are you threatening me?"
"That's right, Master Du Zhe, you forced me. Tell me, will you help me or not?"
"Master Li Zhuang, you can't be so unreasonable. As soon as you came, you kept saying that I was Du Zhe, if you didn't believe me, then just kill me. ”
"You...... Hmph, then I believe that if you are not Du Zhe, you are willing to help me?"
"I don't want to. ”
"Look, yes. In that case, then I'll ......"
However, it was still useless to find that Wu Chenjun was so hard that he was not even afraid of death, and Li Shuangbai's body trembled with anger.
Then, as soon as Li Shuangbai raised his hand, he directly released the powerful coercion of the Yuan Infant Monk, and with a "boom", it turned into a violent wind, and the neatly arranged furniture was messed up at once, many jars of tea were opened, and the tea was also spilled.
However, after thinking about it, the person in front of him is the only reliance on whether he can solve the debt problem at present, and if he kills him like this, he is equivalent to cutting off his own way of life, which is too stupid.
Li Shuangbai suddenly realized that maybe the other party was unwilling to help him or because he was angry that he didn't get paid in his life, so he changed his mind again, and thought of a way, his finger was buttoned on Wu Chenjun's neck, and with a flick of his big sleeve, it turned into a gust of wind, and took Wu Chenjun away from the wooden house and went straight to Li's house.
