Chapter 40: Danger everywhere, killing every step

The "fireworks" and Kong Ming lanterns collided in front of Li Mubai, and with a bang, a canopy of sparks fell to the ground, and it turned out to be an arrow with a pure white body and strange wings. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The spark that was lit up by the white arrow and Kong Ming's lamp shone brightly, and Li Mubai, who looked like a madman, woke up, he stared blankly at the white arrow inserted in the jade sword in his hand on the strange tree, and the white arrow under his feet was still smoking, frowning and asking Lu Yi: "Xiaoyi...... Just now...... This ...... "Just now he clearly saw that the strange tree in front of him was constantly twisting and expanding, and stretched out branches like claws and teeth to entangle Lu Yi, why did it suddenly become like this, and the ancient tree was still white on the left and dark on the right, and the color was distinct?

Lu Yi knew that there must have been an illusion in front of Li Mubai's eyes just now, so he suddenly took out his sword and stabbed at the strange tree without a head, so he said with a smile: "Brother Li, what appeared in front of your eyes just now is fake, you don't have to pay attention to it." ”

It's just that this sudden white arrow made him feel a cloud of doubt in his heart, could it be that the other party had discovered their whereabouts? Thinking of this, Lu Yi picked up the white arrow from the ground and took it in his hand to examine it carefully.

Li Mubai heard that what happened just now turned out to be an illusion, so he suddenly remembered Lu Yi's explanation before entering the forest, and couldn't help but punch the tree with remorse, and when he was about to speak to Lu Yi, he suddenly saw the white arrow in his hand and hurriedly snatched it.

Lu Yi was taken aback by Li Mubai's abnormal behavior, and saw that he was frowning as if he was trying to think about something, so he asked cautiously, "What's Brother Li?" Do you know the owner of this arrow? ”

"How is this possible?" Li Mubai muttered to himself, "Could it really be him?" But what is the purpose of his visit? ”

Lu Yi stretched out his hand and patted Li Mubai on the shoulder, and asked suspiciously, "What could be impossible?" Who's here? ”

Only then did Li Mubai come back to his senses and return the white arrow to Lu Yi, his brows did not stretch: "Xiaoyi, did the 'Sword Saint' Wu Daxia mention the so-called 'Four Sons of the Rivers and Lakes' to you?" ”

Lu Yi nodded and said, "Of course I mentioned it, my ears are about to become calloused." Suddenly remembering that the person in front of him was one of the four sons of the rivers and lakes, he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Brother Li, don't misunderstand, I don't mean anything else." ”

Li Mubai smiled and said, "What is there to misunderstand about this? Whether it is the four sons of the rivers and lakes or the drunken and crazy, to me it is just a floating name, life in the world is to get a happy life, only the sword and wine, and the beauty is the most free. ”

Lu Yi was stunned by what Li Mubai said, and said in his heart when is this, Brother Li won't be poetry again, ready to drink and compose poetry, right?

Fortunately, Li Mubai stopped sighing about wine as a song and the geometry of life in time, and changed his words: "There are two kinds of rhetoric about the 'Four Sons of the Jianghu' on the rivers and lakes, and the only difference between these two statements is Murong Jin of the Murong family of Gusu and Xia Lianyun, who is known as the 'No. 1 Divine Capture in the World'. ”

Lu Yi nodded and said: "I've heard of this, Murong Jin is known as a rare genius in the Gusu Murong family for a hundred years, and he has already practiced the peerless learning of 'using his way and giving back to his body' at a young age, and five years ago, he only lost to Lei Qingshan' by only half a move at the Jinling Xuanwu Festival, and failed to win the name of the son of Jiangnan; "Jin Yiwei and Dongchang have a very bad reputation in the rivers and lakes, and their father was killed by Wan Yanlie, so Lu Yi has no good impression of the government at all.

Li Mubai understood Lu Yi's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Speaking of the origin of this Xia Lianyun, compared to Murong Jin, he is only above it, never below it, since he entered the Imperial City Division at the age of twenty, he has repeatedly solved major cases, countless Jiangyang thieves and habitual criminals who have done many evils and harmed the rivers and lakes have been defeated under his elusive red bow and white arrows, and finally captured alive, just because he is a member of the government and rarely walks around the rivers and lakes, so there is another saying that Murong Jin is among the four sons of the rivers and lakes." ”

When Lu Yi heard Li Mubai say "red bow and white arrow", he hurriedly looked down at the white arrow in his hand, only to see that there was no arrow cluster on the arrow, and the blue flame ignited when the wind blew, and the wings at the end of the arrow were actually made of peacock feathers, he couldn't help but say: "Brother Li, do you mean that this arrow is that Xia Lianyun?" ”

Li Mubai nodded and said: "I'm not very sure, after all, I haven't seen him shoot arrows with my own eyes, but judging from the technique and strength of archery just now, there are definitely no more than three people in the rivers and lakes who can have such clever archery skills, and only Xia Lianyun is the only one who uses white feather arrows." ”

Lu Yi thought that in the woods where the night was like ink, the smoke was shrouded, and the trees were chaotic, someone could shoot arrows here, and judging from the fact that the arrows had no arrows, the feather arrows were terrifying, but they were actually light and light, and they landed after being hit by Kong Ming's lantern, the other party obviously had no malicious intent.

But according to what Li Mubai said, Xia Lianyun is a person from the Imperial City Division, how could he have something to do with the Zhuge clan in this ancient town? Or did Xia Lianyun have the same purpose as them, and he also came to explore Zhuge Ancient Town at night?

In the Ming Dynasty, since Chengzu moved the capital to Yanjing and called the Beijing Division, he did not completely abandon the official system of Jinling (Editor's note: Nanjing), but retained the original, and eventually evolved into the phenomenon of two sets of teams and the same level of Jingshi and Jinling, and also formed the regulation of "Tianzi Town Guomen, Prince Shou Jinling", and Xia Lianyun's Imperial City Division is located in Jinling Mansion, and the Imperial City Division is the most important force in the hands of Prince Zhu Jianjun, and Xia Lianyun is also regarded as a close confidant of the prince.

At this time, Li Mubai suddenly smiled and said, "Speaking of Xia Lianyun, you may not be familiar with it, but you definitely know his confidante." ”

Lu Yi was stunned for a moment and asked, "Confidante?" Who? ”

Li Mubai said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "It is the Oiran we know who went to the Peony Pavilion that night, and the number one beauty in the world, Feng Feifei, who is known as the 'Phoenix Flute Voice'." ”

"Won't it?" Lu Yi was stunned and said, "The two of them? Confidante? How is this possible? "Not to mention that one of the two is a prostitute in the Qinglou, and the other is a celebrity in front of the prince, that is, there is a heavy mountain and water between Nanjing and Luoyang, and the two will not have anything to do with it.

Li Mubai deliberately raised his voice and said, "This is what Miss Feifei told me personally, is there anything wrong or not?" As he spoke, he glanced at Lu Yi and pricked up his ears to listen to the movements around him, but even the howling wind in the woods was still, and there was no movement within a radius of ten zhang except for the breathing sound of the two of them.

Lu Yi comprehended, and took advantage of Li Mubai's ability to speak, and suddenly carried the ten-strength and stainless steel sword like a wind and thunder to slash at the strange tree in front of him, only to hear a bang, the big tree was cut off and fell to the ground, smashing several small trees around.

It turned out that Lu Yi found after observation that this strange tree with white left and deep right was actually like the yin and yang fish in the yin and yang gossip, and the thick fog in this forest actually came out from under this yin and yang tree, so he concluded that this tree was the eye of the big array, and after cutting off the big tree with a sword, the two arrays really broke themselves.

I saw that the original dense fog covering the moon quickly faded and escaped without a trace in an instant, and the invisible pressure that had been disturbing the hearts of the two disappeared, and the two suddenly felt relieved and relaxed.

Li Mubai breathed a long sigh of relief, smiled and pointed to the yin and yang tree that was cut down by Lu Yi and said, "Xiaoyi, let's see how old this tree is?" ”

Suddenly, a gust of yin wind blew, and Lu Yi suddenly secretly screamed that it was not good, pushed Li Mubai away from the Yin Yang Tree, and shouted in a low voice: "Be careful, dangerous!" Subconsciously swung his sword to protect him, and he heard the sound of "clanging" endlessly, which was a hidden weapon such as countless iron thistles and bone nails.

Although Li Mubai was a little in a hurry, the reaction in his hand was not slow at all, and he was pushed forward by Lu Yi, and the jade sword was already copied in his hand, and he continued to wave it in the face of the hidden weapon like a storm.

"It seems that something is wrong," a thought suddenly flashed in Li Mubai's mind, and he hurriedly flew behind a larch tree with light skills, and shouted to Lu Yi: "Xiaoyi, quickly hide behind the tree, it is not a person who fires the hidden weapon, it is a mechanism!" ”

Hearing this, Lu Yi hurriedly agreed, and retreated behind a birch tree, but before he could catch his breath, the birch tree in front of him suddenly moved, and he saw more than a dozen roots suddenly rushing out of the ground, and the demons danced towards Lu Yi, and directly entangled his legs in a hurry.

At this moment, Li Mubai's situation was not much better, a whistling cold wind blew, and the thousands of pine needles on the larch suddenly seemed to have eyes, and suddenly shot towards Li Mubai intensively, it seemed that if Li Mubai couldn't dodge, he would be shot into a hedgehog in the blink of an eye.

Entangled by the roots of the tree, although Lu Yi was not shocked, the steel long sword in his hand roared out, directly cutting off the roots wrapped around his feet, and then pierced the birch tree in front of him with a sword, and the long sword stirred in the trunk and went down, splitting the birch tree into two sections, and he flew back to about three feet in front of another birch tree.

After Lu Yi got rid of the entanglement between the hidden weapon and the tree root, he flew up and kicked up a stone, and impartially hit the larch behind Li Mubai, taking advantage of the gap between the pine needles flying, he pointed to a birch tree on Li Mubai's side and said, "Brother Li, come here and stand three feet away from this tree." ”

Li Mubai Ren is light skills, outstanding swordsmanship, caught off guard and was also a little embarrassed by hidden weapons and larch needles, the jade sword flew up and down, and the white shirt was still shot through a few holes by pine needles, hearing Lu Yi's words, he flew on the trunk of the larch without saying a word, and the whole person came to Lu Yi's side like an arrow off the string.

It wasn't until Li Mubai stood still beside Lu Yi that the stormy hidden weapon stopped, and the two looked at each other and saw each other's embarrassed appearance, and the corners of their mouths suddenly flashed a wry smile.
