38: Interlude

The uninvited guest suddenly kills, and the deadly attack is like an arrow, ready to be launched at any time.

But Cheng Li didn't seem to notice it at all, still riding on the dragon horse "Taifu", galloping forward leisurely and unhurriedly.

The sound of horses' hooves became more and more urgent, and the distance between him and Cheng Li was also shortening. Fifteen zhang, ten zhang, eight zhang...... Cheng Liqing saw it clearly. On the street, the few pedestrians who approached each other, all with a glint of fear in their eyes, did not hide to the side of the road.

Suddenly, the strange sound of metal trembling from behind disappeared at once, and then turned into a scream that broke through the air.

The turning point is only in the blink of an eye. And the movement is actually very subtle. At least you have to be a first-class master to be able to sense it. However, as a fourth-awakened robber, Cheng Li's true strength is even higher than that of the Jiyuan master. This level of change, of course, is not a problem for him.

Therefore, Cheng Li was not only able to perceive this change, but also knew that this screaming sound represented the enemy's weapon, which had changed from oblique fingers to flat fingers, stabbing straight at Cheng Li's own back.

Six, five, four...... Cheng Li's heart is like an ancient well without waves, and a three-dimensional pattern unfolds in his consciousness. The entire surrounding space is completely enveloped. Everything in this space, including the movements of both the enemy and the enemy, Cheng Li watched the fire as if he were watching the fire. Although he never looked back, Cheng Li knew every sound of horses' hooves and halberd spears behind him, and he knew it all in detail.

Three zhang, two zhang...... The strong wind brought by the sprint of the war horse blew Cheng Li's clothes fluttering. Suddenly, a thunderclap exploded behind him, the sound of gold and iron breaking the wind was loud, and the weapon in the enemy's hand was as fast as thunder, stabbing straight at Cheng Li's back.

Cheng Li could feel it. The strong wind driven by the enemy's weapons is the first to attack the body. Regardless of strength, angle, and distance, it deserves to be called first-class. The essence of martial arts is stronger than the nine heavens, ten earths, and nineteen demons, but it is slightly inferior to the eight heavenly kings.

At the moment of lightning, Cheng Li didn't say a word, his body shook, he had already sandwiched the opponent's weapon under the coercion, and swung it horizontally. An overwhelming force surged from behind the uninvited guest from behind. The horses sprinted past. The horse, which had lost its master's control, was completely uncontrollable and galloped forward, but in the blink of an eye, it had disappeared from the other side of the street.

"Jingle Bell~" A crisp voice sounded. Cheng Li let go of his arm, and the weapon that was originally caught under the flank also fell to the ground, and it was indeed a point steel spear. He reined in his horses and looked back. I saw a young man in a black and red samurai uniform, lying on the ground, baring his teeth and groaning. However, the moan/moan was full of energy, and it seemed that it was only the pain of the flesh and skin, and it did not hurt the five internal organs and bones.

Falling from a galloping horse, if it were an ordinary person, this time it must have been seriously injured. But this young man's cultivation is good, and he is even higher than the Nineteen Human Demons. A fall is actually not a big deal for him. At most, take a break and you'll be fine.

Cheng Li rode his horse to the young man's side, looked down at him condescendingly, and said lightly, "You are a disciple of the Emei Sect?"

The young man was clearly the firstborn calf. Although he knew that he was not Cheng Li's opponent, he still did not have the slightest fear. He stared at Cheng Li with wide eyes unconvinced, and shouted, "I'm Ma Shaoyun from Emei." Lianchenghuo is my master brother. ”

Cheng Li's understanding of the martial arts of the Emei faction is as deep as his understanding of the Huashan faction. Therefore, when the young man swung his spear to stab just now, Cheng immediately identified the number of martial artists of the other party from the subtle sound of the change of moves.

Although the Emei faction is one of the seven major sword schools, in fact, the profundity and mastery of the Emei spear and stick technique are not inferior to the swordsmanship. Therefore, in all dynasties, many Emei disciples enlisted in the army and won fame with guns and sticks. It is not unreasonable for Lianchenghuo to go out to learn art and choose the Emei faction at the first stop.

According to the old rule of the Emei sect, each generation will have five particularly outstanding disciples, with the characters "Ying" and "Yun" in their names. Taken together, it is "three English and two clouds". This Ma Shaoyun is obviously one of the three British and two clouds of this generation.

With Lianchenghuo's cultivation, he should definitely be among the three heroes and two clouds. If he stays in the Emei faction, maybe he will have a great chance to take over as the head of the Emei faction in the future.

It's a pity that for Lianchenghuo, a mere Emei faction is obviously too small to accommodate his ambitions. Therefore, after only two years of studying art in the Emei faction, Lianchenghuo switched to the Kunlun faction, and then to the Kongtong faction. Combine the strengths of the family, and then have today's achievements.

If it were an ordinary person, this kind of behavior of leaving one's own sect and joining another sect would undoubtedly be a great rebellion to deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors. Each sect will be deeply ashamed of this, and even at all costs, they will arrest the traitors and deal with them according to the rules of the sect. At the worst, the martial arts will be abolished, and the worst will be executed on the spot.

But Lianchenghuo is the eldest son of Zeng Guogong. Zeng Guogong was also one of the "twelve dry cities" of the Great Wei Dynasty. High position, high status. The Emei faction, the Kunlun faction, the Kongtong faction, etc., have never eaten the bear-hearted leopard gall, where do they dare to catch Lianchenghuo and offend Zeng Guogong?

Therefore, the Emei faction, the Kunlun faction, and the Kongtong faction, instead of declaring Lianchenghuo a traitor who deceived the teacher and destroyed the ancestors, still treated him as a disciple. It's just that like before, when he is the next head of the family, he will definitely not be cultivated here. It's just that even the city fire itself doesn't care.

The hard work of the three sects has indeed paid off. Before the rebellion of the Rongdi tribe in northern Xinjiang, Lian Chenghuo served as the vanguard of the counterinsurgency, leading the army to kill the enemy on the grassland, and finally even the khans of the rebellious tribes were beheaded, and then sent back to Baiyujing with a spear.

Behind this brilliant feats, the disciples of the Emei faction, the Kunlun faction, and the Kongtong faction have made great contributions. Because at that time, the three of them also sent many disciples to help in the war. After the war, the imperial court rewarded meritorious deeds, and the disciples of these three families were richly rewarded, and several people were directly awarded official positions. For the three factions that have been silent for a long time, it can be described as a great excitement.

Therefore, the three factions attach more importance to Lianchenghuo. Even the disciples of the "Three Heroes and Two Clouds" level were sent out to follow Lianchenghuo's side, in an attempt to strengthen the connection between the two sides and get greater benefits from it.

Cheng Li didn't know these things, but when he came out of the palace just now, Zhuge Taifu told Cheng Li that he knew. But Cheng Li really couldn't imagine that he would meet Ma Shaoyun, an elite disciple of the Emei faction, so soon.

Cheng Li frowned and asked, "Ma Shaoyun, what are you doing with me?

Ma Shaoyun shouted in a straight voice: "I know that you are Cheng Li, and your nickname is the Black Evil God Monarch." But others are afraid of you, but my senior brother is not afraid of you. The only person who can marry Her Royal Highness Princess Qingyang and become the general of Yulin Zhonglang is my senior brother. Senior brother is self-respecting and refuses to make a move, so I will teach you a lesson for senior brother. Cheng Li, who knows each other, quickly quit by himself. Otherwise, when the senior brother actually makes a move, it will be too late for you to regret it. ”

Cheng Li couldn't help but laugh for a while. A person like Ma Shaoyun, if he didn't see that he was Bai Yujing here, he wouldn't want to kill people in the market casually. Even if Ma Shaoyun had ten more lives, they all died together. Is it his turn to speak out here?

Because the gap is too big. So although Ma Shaoyun is aggressive, in Cheng Li's eyes, he is still like a child playing, and he can't take it seriously at all.

Cheng Li shook his head and said lightly: "If you want to deal with me next time, it's best to let your senior brother come by himself." Or gather at least a hundred people and do it. Otherwise, it is just self-inflicted humiliation. That's all you have to say, listen or not, that's your own business. ”

Without waiting for Ma Shaoyun to reply, Cheng Li gently patted the head of the "servant". The dragon horse immediately understood, turned and galloped away. Only Ma Shaoyun was left lying on the ground on the street here, choking on the dust raised by the horses' hooves, and tears and snot flowed together.

Cheng Li didn't take this little episode on the road to heart. He still followed the plan and walked around the new house. I am very satisfied with the progress of the project. If this continues, it seems that there will be about half a month at most, and you can move.

Since they are moving into a new house, this home cannot live without a hostess. Marrying a princess or something, that's a story for later. As for now, Cheng Li is starting to miss Ling Yushi a little.

Ling Yushi is the first woman Cheng Li met who treated herself sincerely after coming to this world. At first, Cheng Li thought that the two were just sisters and brothers. But after experiencing so many things, Cheng Li understood even if he was sluggish. Even if the two are siblings, they can be more intimate at the same time.

Looking back, from the time I left Guanwai and went to Hangzhou, until now, I haven't seen it for more than half a year. Cheng Li really missed Ling Yu's poems tightly. The foundation of the Guanwai Freedom Villa, now it seems, is nothing more than that, just dispensable. It is better to let Ling Yushi come to Bai Yujing and reunite with him. As for the affairs outside the gate, I believe that Ling Yushi will handle it well.

In fact, Xue Yanxia and Xiaoqing also know Ling Yushi. But they didn't take it to heart. As pure-blooded members of the Liuli clan, their longevity must be calculated in units of "thousand years". Ling Yushi is just a mortal after all, at most a hundred years. Of course they wouldn't care. Similarly, the same is true about Cheng Li's desire to marry the princess.

Therefore, the women around Cheng Li can be divided into two categories. One is otherworldly, and the other is secular. The two are clearly distinguished, and the river water does not interfere with the well water.

Because of this, since he has a new house, he plans to settle down in Bai Yujing for a long time. Cheng Li never planned to be separated from Ling Yushi for a long time. Immediately, he returned to the Taifu Mansion and wrote a letter, asking the people of the Taifu Mansion to help send it to the Guanwai Zizai Villa and hand it over to Ling Yushi.

After Ling Yushi received the letter, she would take care of the things in the Freedom Villa, and then went south to Bai Yujing and reunited with Cheng Li
