On the mountain trail in northern Jiangsu, Li Que dragged his tired steps, holding the knife that never left his hand, and had walked for a day and a night, until a new round of red sun was rising from the east. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Li Que faintly heard the sound of running water, which was getting closer and clearer, and finally, he found a small stream, which made him overjoyed. He took a hand of stream water, poured it on his face, and took another sip, the cool feeling of the stream as it ran from his lips to his stomach. Moistened by the stream, he forgot the tiredness he had just felt and breathed a sigh of relief. However, the restlessness between the mountains and forests made his nerves tense again. He shouted, "Who? ”

Sure enough, a person walked out of the forest, and a pair of slender hands were its biggest feature. In today's world, only the sun picker can practice such a hand, and only Mu Xiu can make the sun picker. As soon as Huashan parted, it had been another year, and Li Que and Mu Xiu met in this mountain and wilderness.

Li Que frowned, didn't say anything, picked up the knife, and continued to walk down the mountain.

Mu Xiu shouted: "Brother Li, please stay!" ”

Li Que stood still, but did not look back.

Mu Xiu said: "Brother Li, do you know how dangerous it is to go to Shandong?" Zhong Liyan is already on guard against you, and will send killers to kill you. ”

"How?" Li Que asked rhetorically, "Are you trying to persuade me not to go?" ”

Muxiu said, "No. Brother Ye is in trouble today, Brother Li rescued him thousands of miles, and the younger brother naturally has nothing to say. However, the younger brother wanted to go with Brother Li. ”

"What?" Li Que finally turned around, his eyes widened, and he looked at Mu Xiu.

Mu Xiu said: "If you and I can combine the strengths of the two, we should have a better chance of rescuing Brother Ye." ”

Li Que sneered and said, "Hmph, there's no need! ”

Mu Xiu said: "Brother Li and Brother Ye are close friends, and I and Brother Ye are also close friends. If Brother Li wants to save Brother Ye, I should also be allowed to contribute! ”

"Huh, best friend?" Li Que squinted at Mu Xiu and said, "When Ye Feng disregarded his life and rescued me from the Phantom Finger Qinsha in Hangzhou, where were you?" ”

Mu Xiu was stunned for a long time before he spoke again: "Alas! Brother Li, at that time, I had a hard time. ”

Li Que asked: "Do you want to say that a mysterious person appeared at that time and snatched the "Magic Qin Score", and you left me because you wanted to chase that person?" ”

Mu Xiu nodded, although he had explained this reason to Li Que four years ago.

Li Que flicked his sleeves and said, "Okay, let me ask you, have you caught up with that mysterious person?" ”

Mu Xiu replied: "That man's martial arts are higher than the younger brother, and the younger brother failed to catch up with him." ”

Li Que said again: "Let me ask you again, at the beginning, you said that you were going to steal the "Magic Qin Score" for your own use, but I didn't obey; Later, you changed your claim to destroy this magic book for the sake of martial arts justice, and I was willing to help you. But after you got "Wood", not only did you not destroy it, but instead studied its internal strength, how is it different from the devil? If you do this, won't you trap me in injustice, and make the heroes of the world laugh at me, and Li Que also wants to steal the magic book? ”

Mu Xiu replied: "The younger brother really wanted to destroy the "Wood", but then he thought that there was a mysterious person who stole the remaining five copies of the "Magic Qin Score", if this person has bad intentions, I am afraid that it will become a disaster in the rivers and lakes." The younger brother delves into the central method of "Wood", or he can find a way to crack the "Magic Qin Score". ”

Li Que sneered: "But the result is that in the past four years, no one in the rivers and lakes has ever used the martial arts in "Magic Qin Score" except for you? And where is the mysterious man you are talking about? ”

Mu Xiu replied: "This point, the younger brother is also very strange. But there were six copies of the Magic Piano, and the man stole five of them at that time, and I only had one "Wood" that I stole at the time. I think he won't be able to do anything until he's collected six books. ”

Li Que asked: "Even so, why didn't that mysterious person come to you later to ask for "Wood"?" ”

Mu Xiu thought about it, shook his head, and said, "This, the little brother really doesn't know. ”

Li Que said: "Hmph, I really don't know? I don't think you can make it up, can you? ”

Mu Xiu said: "Brother Li, the so-called clean person is self-purifying. This matter, I believe, will come to light sooner or later. But right now, the most important thing is that we work together to rescue Brother Ye first! ”

Li Que turned around and said, "Whether to save or not, it's all your business, I can't control it, but I don't want to go with you." If you want to save Ye Feng, you save yours, and I will save mine! Li Que ignored Mu Xiu and went down the mountain alone.

Mu Xiu looked at Li Que's limping back, but just shook his head and sighed again and again.

After crossing the mountain, Li Que continued to walk for another afternoon, and finally saw that under the shade of the tree in front of him, there was a teahouse, and three or five tea customers were eating deliciously. Li Que found a seat with his back to the big tree and sat down, asked for a big bowl of tea, and after drinking, before quenching his thirst, he simply asked for a big pot and poured himself a drink.

However, Li Que didn't know that on the big tree behind him, a murderous aura was lurking. The ninja Hattori Hosei from Sanhuamen had long been hiding in the tree, waiting for Li Que to come and drink tea. Hattori Hosei secretly put down a thread thinner than a hair, put it all the way to the spout of the teapot, and then took out the venom for the Toei ninjas. This poison is called ****, colorless and tasteless, and ordinary people will die as long as they have a drop in their mouths. Hattori Yasunari dripped the venom down the thin line, and the venom quietly dripped into the teapot. Then, Li Que lifted the teapot and poured out a large bowl of tea, which was his third bowl of tea.

At this time, Hattori Hosei, who was hiding in a tree, suddenly felt a sharp pain in his back for no reason, as if he had been slashed. His lungs also contracted tighter, and he couldn't catch his breath for a while, so he finally couldn't hold back and coughed. How can this cough escape Li Que's ears? Li Que threw the teapot in the direction of the coughing sound. Hattori knew that this pot of poisoned tea was powerful, and quickly turned over and jumped off the tree.

The tea customers were so frightened that they scattered, and the shops hid in their houses and did not dare to come out. Under the big tree, there are only two people, Li Que and Hattori Baosei. Li Que saw that Hattori Baocheng was dressed, which was exactly the same as the Hattori Zhengcheng he saw in Wuxi, and said, "It's Dongying ninja again." ”

Hattori Hosunari shouted, "Hmph! Do you think you can live safely after you kill our Toei ninjas? With that, a ninja dart flew towards Li Que.

Li Que dodged the ninja dart, and then saw that Hattori Hosei was gone. Li Que suddenly felt a gust of wind in his ears, and immediately raised the Maitreya knife to block the sneak attack of Hattori Hosei from behind. With a wave of his left hand, Hattori Hosei sprinkled a packet of lime powder from his sleeve. But Li Que was already on guard and covered his eyes with his right hand. There was also a dagger in Hattori's sleeve, taking advantage of the chaos, to stab Li Que. Although Li Que's eyes were blocked, he could still hear the sound. He turned around, not only did he throw the dagger into the air, but he also went around behind Hattori and received a palm that hit Hattori in the back. Although the palm is not heavy, it makes Hattori Baocheng fly out of the zhangyu. Hattori rolled over and immediately got up, but another sharp pain in his back caused him to cough several times.

Li Que felt a warmth in his palm, and when he raised his hand, it turned out to be a pool of blood. This puzzled him, he couldn't even calculate that he could bleed with one palm. Looking at Hattori's appearance again, Yintang is black and his lips are purple. Only then did Li Que remember one thing: these ninjas were all sent by Zhong Liyan, and Zhong Liyan was now dealing with Ye Feng. Li Que asked, "Have you ever fought with Ye Feng?" ”

Hattori replied, "So what? ”

Li Que shook his head, wiped the blood from his hands, took a step, and continued to walk north, as if Hattori Hosei was not here at all.

Isn't this Li Que humiliating Hattori Baosei? Hattori asked, "Hey! Where are you going? When I don't exist? ”

As he walked, Li Que replied, "I don't fight with the dead." ”

"What did you say?" Hattori Hosei was shocked and angry, the outcome was not yet known, and he actually said that he was going to die, as a Toei ninja, how could he suffer such a great humiliation? As soon as this anger hit his heart, it was like a fireball blocking his trachea, making him breathless.

Li Que stopped, turned around, and asked, "Do you think it's so easy to escape from Ye Feng's hands?" ”

Hattori Hosei's back was in sharp pain again. This time, the pain was digging into the heart, as if it had pierced a hole in the back. He suddenly remembered that there was a wound on his back, which was left by Ye Feng at the foot of Mount Tai. Now, it was this wound that was causing him a piercing pain. Although it didn't hurt too much at first, just like an ordinary flesh wound, after so many days, this wound not only did not heal, but became more and more painful. Fear from the unknown is swelling. Hattori Hosei couldn't help but really think about "death", will this pain eventually kill him?

Li Que said: "You think you have escaped. In fact, you have been injured by Ye Feng's quick knife, and it is deep in your heart. It was only because the incision was too fast that the wound did not immediately appear. But it will come and go, and by the time the wound bursts, your end will come. ”

Is there such a strange thing in the world? Hattori didn't want to believe it. Although he was already coughing and wheezing, he was still saying, "You lied to me!" However, his back injury would not fool him, this time it was ten times more painful than before. He tried his best to touch the wound with his hands, trying to ease the pain, but he couldn't. He had to roll on the ground, and found a pool of blood on the ground, and then he realized that he was bleeding nonstop. His strength was lost little by little through the wound to his body, and all that was left was coughing. When he coughed up the last mouthful of blood with all his might, he finally stopped feeling pain and died with panic and fear in his eyes.

Three days later, Li Que was approaching Xuzhou. But just outside Xuzhou City, a team of people and horses, dressed in purple, was stationed, and they set up a formation. When they saw a man limping towards Xuzhou with a knife, they rushed up and surrounded him.

The leader asked, "Are you Li Que?" ”

It was Li Que who came, but he didn't bother to answer and continued to walk forward. The gang didn't ask any more questions, and directly picked up their weapons and killed Li Que. Li Que pulled out the Maitreya knife, and there were a few more ghosts at dusk.

Just as the Maitreya knife was wielding, another group of people in yellow clothes joined the fight, but their targets were not Li Que, but those who wanted to kill Li Que. The two teams of people scuffled in front of Li Que, which was beyond Li Que's expectations. After a while, the people and horses in purple clothes couldn't parry, and they were dead and wounded, and only three or five people remained. They were about to flee, but they were chased by the men in yellow and killed them one by one.

That was the end of the battle. A man in yellow walked up to Li Que, knelt on one knee, clasped his hands into fists, and said, "Li Daxia is frightened!" ”

Li Que put away the Maitreya knife and said, "Just a rat, why worry about it? Who are you? ”

The man in yellow said: "Below is Jia Mingyi, the yellow-clothed helmsman of the Qiqiao Gate. ”

"Tangram?" Li Que is no stranger to this name. When he was in Huashan, there was a disguised Xinlan, which was the masterpiece of the Tangram. "Shouldn't you want to kill me too?"

Jia Mingyi said: "Li Daxia misunderstood. There are seven rudders in the tangram gate: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and purple. Last year, it was Zirudor who wanted to plot against Li Daxia in Huashan, and the people who wanted to kill you just now were also Zirudder. They aided in the abuse and took refuge in Sanhuamen. But our Huang Duo has heard of Li Daxia's righteousness and Bo Yuntian, and admires it, so he came to help Li Daxia pass through Xuzhou safely. ”

Li Que said: "In this case, Li thanked me." ”

Jia Mingyi said: "Li Daxia, it's getting late today, why don't you rest in our house for a night, and then go to Shandong tomorrow?" ”

Li Que waved his hand and said, "No need." Li Mou's heart is about Shandong, and he can't fly with wings, how can he not travel day and night? Jia Helm's kindness, Li Mou understood. ”

Jia Mingyi said: "Li Daxia is worried about the safety of his friends, and Jia also understands that he doesn't dare to delay Li Daxia's time more." However, if Li Daxia does not dislike it, he can eat it before leaving. ”

"This ......," Li Que stroked his beard.

Jia Mingyi bowed down and continued: "Previously, Li Daxia and I had a misunderstanding. Today, I am fortunate to meet Li Daxia, and I hope that Daxia will allow me to do my landlord's friendship. ”

Li Que thought for a moment and finally nodded.

Jia Mingyi was overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to go back to the house to prepare, and he personally led the way and invited Li Que to the Qiqiaomen Huangduo Mansion in Xuzhou City.

The mansion is not large, and upon entering the door, there is a curved cloister that leads to the lobby. The inside of the church, from the roof to the floor, the pillars on the hall, and the screens at the four corners are all painted yellow. As soon as you enter the lobby, you will feel like you have entered a golden house. Sure enough, a banquet had been set up here, and a long table was laid out in the middle of the hall in an east-west direction, one at each end. The table is full of dishes, and a jar of wine is placed in front of each seat.

Jia Mingyi was full of joy and asked Li Que to sit facing the east, and then sit opposite himself.

After the two sat down, Jia Mingyi laughed and said, "Li Daxia is willing to come to the cold house with a face, it is really brilliant. ”

Li Que said: "Since I went north, all I have encountered are interceptors sent by the Sanhua Sect. I had no choice but to fight all the way. That's not what I intended! Master Jia Helm understands the righteousness and does not associate with the scattered flower gate, and Li is deeply grateful. ”

Jia Mingyi said: "Those outlaws don't know the height of the sky, and it is not a pity to die. He raised his glass, "Come, Li Daxia." Today, let's have a good drink. Little brother, I'll do it first for respect! The first glass of wine was drunk like this, and Jia Mingyi instructed his subordinates again, "Pour wine for Li Daxia!" ”

When the wine glass was full, in front of Li Que, Li Que picked up the wine glass and said, "Okay! Jia Helm is a refreshing person, and Li is also with him to the end today. He took his glass and drank it down.

Jia Mingyi breathed a sigh of relief, but smiled even more happily: "Refreshing!" Readily! ”

It's dark at night. Li Que's head began to shake, and he didn't seem to be able to see Jia Mingyi on the other side clearly, but Jia Mingyi's voice kept ringing in his ears: "Li Daxia? Li Daxia? In this burst of shouting, Li Que finally threw himself on the table.

At this time, a hand touched Li Que's waist and touched the Maitreya knife. Suddenly, Li Que grabbed this hand and raised his head violently. It turned out to be a hand from a Tangram minion.

Li Que shouted: "What are you doing? ”

Jia Mingyi hurriedly pointed at this minion and said, "Oops! I saw that Li Daxia was drunk, and asked you to help Li Daxia to rest, why are you so careless? He bent down to Li Que again and said, "Li Daxia, don't be surprised! ”

Li Que looked at his minions, then at Jia Mingyi, and asked coldly: "Lord Jia Helm invited me to the banquet, is it out of good intentions or bad intentions?" ”

When Jia Mingyi heard this, a cold sweat broke out, his heart rose to his throat, and he replied in a low voice: "How can it be...... Malice? ”

Li Que looked at Jia Mingyi sideways. Jia Mingyi didn't dare to face Li Que squarely. Li Que's eyes changed from suspicion to anger, like a sharp sword, stabbing Jia Mingyi with nowhere to hide.

Jia Mingyi finally couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted: "What are you still doing in a daze? Give it all to me! Suddenly, dozens of minions poured out from behind the screens at the four corners, each holding a sharp blade.

Li Que looked around for a week and said with a smile: "Just with these little minions, you want to take me down?" ”

Jia Mingyi slapped the table and said, "Li Que! You're dying, you don't know it! Do you think you just drank ordinary wine? There's colorless and odorless cartilage in there. Now, you're running out of energy! ”

Li Que said: "Hmph! Do you think I'm really going to drink this kind of wine from an unknown source? He stretched out his left hand, spread his five fingers, and with a stroke of luck, the wine he had just drunk squirted out from between his five fingernails. This trick is called "secretly crossing Chen Cang". Others saw that he obviously drank the wine into his mouth, but he didn't actually swallow it, but hid it under the skin by internal force, and it could be discharged from the body at any time from between the sweat glands between his fingers.

Jia Mingyi saw that the poison could not be done, so he quickly touched the mechanism under the table. This mechanism was connected all the way to Li Que's seat. Two iron hoops suddenly burst out from Li Que's waist and tied him around his waist.

Jia Mingyi smiled proudly: "Now, you can't move!" ”

Jia Mingyi immediately ordered all the minions to rush up together. Although Li Que's body was tied, his hands were still free. He touched the Maitreya knife with his right hand, and the blade was unsheathed, drawing a semicircle like a moon in the air, and the "golden house" of the Tangram Gate was stained with bright red blood. Between the ups and downs, the minions all fell.

Li Que broke the iron hoop, split the dining table, and forced it in front of Jia Mingyi with a knife, glaring angrily, and saying, "I treat you as a good person, and you dare to harm me!" ”

Jia Mingyi's face was already pale and frightened. He whispered in his mouth: "Li Daxia, spare your life!" Spare your life! But his hand touched the armrest of his seat, where there was a mechanism.

Suddenly, a dark arrow shot out from under Jia Mingyi's left armrest. Li Que rolled over and dodged the arrow, but another arrow shot out from under Jia Mingyi's right armrest. Li Que met the incoming arrow and slashed with a big knife. The arrow was split in half, not only the arrow, but also the seat, as well as Jia Mingyi on the seat, were also split in half from top to bottom.

Out of Xuzhou City, a hundred miles to the north, you will enter the boundary of Shandong. When Li Que walked to the boundary monument, there was a person waiting for him. The man was not tall, with thick legs, a fair face, and a yellowish beard. Li Que knew this person, he was Wei Xing, who was known as the moon-chasing leg, and ranked sixth on the "Divine Soldier List". His leg and foot kung fu is a must, and Mu Xiu's sun-picking hand is called "sun-hand and moon-leg".

Wei Xing appeared here, and Li Que probably guessed his intention. Although he is among the "Divine Soldiers List", Wei Xing is actually a killer. He has no sect and only believes in money. Whoever can afford to pay, he will die for whomever he wants. Zhong Liyan, as the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, could certainly afford to pay Li Que's head money.

Li Que said: "It seems that Zhong Liyan has already bought my head from you. ”

Wei Xing replied: "Brother Li, your head is worth three thousand taels of silver!" The leader of the Zhongli Alliance is really bloody for you this time. ”

Li Que asked: "If you come to collect my head for him, aren't you afraid to put your own head in it?" ”

Wei Xing said with a relaxed face: "I don't care! If I can't kill you, it's a big deal that I won't make this deal; But you're different, if you can't kill me, you're going to die. ”

Li Que touched the Maitreya knife and said, "Then, you can try it!" ”

Wei Xing shook his head and said, "Don't worry! Today is not yet the time. My rule is not to fight with unprepared people, so every time I make a move, I will notify the other party first. Today, I am here to inform you. ”

Li Que said: "In this way, you are still a person who preaches the morality of the rivers and lakes. ”

Wei Xing smiled: "You should prepare well!" When we meet next time, I'll have to take your head!" With that, he literally walked away.

Li Que didn't take Wei Xing's words to heart at all, continued to carry the knife, and entered Shandong.
