Chapter 37: The Origin of the Robbery (1)
Chu Li stood up on the bed, bypassed Cen Kexuan and slowly walked to the table and sat down, tidied up the bloodstained black clothes, and found a cloth towel next to him, pulled out the long sword a little, and gently wiped it against the edge of the table. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info his sword wiping action is very skillful and serious, as if he was his lover for many years. I don't know if it's because of his personality, Chu Li always sits with his backlight, the light in front of him is dim, he is wearing a black dress, and his face is also like a shadow.
Cen Kexuan stood aside and looked at him, seeing that although his expression was gloomy, there was no obvious pain, and the fingers of the sword were not trembling, even if he was injured last night, his body should be fine. At this point, I finally relaxed a little.
Chu Li kept his head down, not paying attention to her scrutiny and contemplation. Just when she thought that this person had forgotten about her existence, she heard him whisper: "There was indeed a man in black who wanted to take the dart last night, but it should have nothing to do with you. He didn't look up as he spoke, still wiping his sword.
"What's in that box?" Cen Kexuan couldn't help but ask.
Chu Li said that he didn't know, but Cen Kexuan stared at him stubbornly, revealing a posture of waiting for the next step, Chu Li was helpless, sighed, and slowly said something. It turned out that a few days ago, the master of the womb ordered him to go to Jingzhou to do business, and he planned to go all the way north, but when he was staying in a small town outside Ziyun, he met a group of people, they looked strange and their faces were quite unfamiliar, obviously they came prepared.
The south was originally a remote place, although there have been many outsiders showing up over the years, but they are all businessmen and individual tourists, or occasionally dart games go south, and even individual ranger scholars travel here, but the slightly larger number of martial arts forces are very rarely here.
Originally, he wanted to go north alone, and he was naturally quickly attracted by this group of people, afraid that someone would be unfavorable to Ziyun Palace, so he stayed for another night, and listened at night, only to know that they were going to rob and kill someone, and he immediately felt bad at that time.
Hearing this, Cen Kexuan couldn't help but exclaim: "Among them, there is a man and a woman, and the woman's name is Xin'er?" ”
Chu Li shook his head and said, "No, it's the gang that stabbed you on the street, I followed them all the way to this place, and finally saw them pretending to be vendors on the street." Because the gang hadn't directly named the target, he couldn't be sure who they were ambushing, despite his suspicions. So much so that the shots of Fan Yuqing, Guo Xin'er and others were all unexpected by him, so he had to follow them all the way and wait and see what happened.
"You were the one who saved me with a stone on the street?" Cen Kexuan suddenly realized, "Then do you know that I was knocked unconscious after I got into the carriage?" ”
Chu Li shook his head and said, "You took the initiative to get into their car, although I don't know their intentions, I didn't expect them to stun you in the carriage." ”
"You saw them save me with your own eyes, so you think they won't embarrass me for a while, but the origin of those people is unknown, and the purpose is unknown, you still don't feel at ease, so you follow us all the way?"
Chu Li nodded, not denying it. He continued to talk about what he saw and heard later. He followed all the way, and near the octagonal pavilion outside the town, he saw the man in green clothes wearing a silver mask. It was from that moment that he had a bad premonition. Those who practice martial arts are born with a keen sense of danger, and this innate ability can help them avoid danger and escape death again and again.
This person's martial arts are unpredictable, and he hides his face, which is really an extremely dangerous existence.
Ke Xuan hadn't come out since he got into the carriage, and he guessed that he had been knocked unconscious, but he didn't know what the gang wanted. If this man in Tsing Yi has bad intentions, not to mention that he wants to save her, I am afraid it will not be easy for him to protect himself. Thinking of this, he unconsciously clenched the hilt of his sword, but in the next moment, he was surprised that the man in green frowned very slightly.
He had no doubt that he had been exposed!
Chu Li has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and the fact of hiding his breath is not bad, to put it mildly, there are probably no more than five people who can find him in the shortest time. This acuity made his heart tremble, and he immediately knew that something was wrong.
He knew that he had to leave, but he didn't dare to guarantee that the moment he turned around, he would lose the opportunity to fight back in an instant. It would be foolish to expose your back to such a strong opponent.
So he didn't move, as if hesitating, more like waiting for the right moment. Fortunately, the man in green clothes did not take any action, as if he did not know his existence, and continued to give orders to the person kneeling in front of him until he had finished explaining his affairs. What he said was not hidden, Chu Li vaguely heard it, and it was nothing more than letting two of them stay in the Central Plains.
"So, they're not from the Central Plains?" Cen Kexuan said suddenly, this surprised her very much.
Chu Li nodded, and said, "Moreover, he once mentioned that he wanted to take you away." He clearly heard the man in Tsing Yi say that he wanted to take Kexuan away, so that later he went all the way to the Golden Scale Inn for temporary shelter, and when he saw Cen Kexuan returning from the outside unharmed, he rarely showed a shocked look.
Cen Kexuan listened to all this, and recalled the bits and pieces of the masked man, and said thoughtfully: "It was indeed the masked man who sent me back. ”
This made Chu Li extremely puzzled: "I went to great lengths to rob people, and I only took a quick look at you to send you back safely?" ”
Cen Kexuan also looked confused: "I don't know, in short, it's a blessing to come back alive." Seeing Chu Li's eyebrows tightly locked, Cen Kexuan made a small joke: "Maybe that guy is too idle, he came to save my life and took me around, so he is really a good person." After speaking, he laughed awkwardly twice.
Chu Li was even more silent, and when Cen Kexuan saw him like this, the smile on his face instantly dissipated. Of course, she knew that things were far from so simple, and he remembered the indifferent aura on the man's body, which was the confidence and calmness cultivated by being in a state of confidence for a long time.
That kind of person will never do superfluous things.
In Chu Li's memory, the man in Tsing Yi at that time turned around and left after explaining everything, handing over the aftermath to the woman named Xin'er, who obviously underestimated him and didn't plan to do it himself.
He took two steps back, lifted his breath and hurried away into the distance, unconsciously relieved. Although Kexuan was still in their hands, the situation at that time was really unfavorable, but fortunately, he already knew the appearance and number of the other party, although he was not very sure, but these people were from the Western Regions. And, listening to the man's meaning, he didn't intend to hurt Kexuan now, and after thinking about it, he thought that it was the best policy to leave first and then find an opportunity.
After running for more than ten miles, the woman gradually caught up, dressed in red and scarlet, with raised eyebrows and a bewitching smile in her eyes.
"Further ahead is the Purple Cloud Realm." The woman jumped in front of him, her red dress fluttering, her long sleeves flying, and she looked particularly charming. She didn't draw her sword, she only looked at him with a smile: "Is Your Excellency planning to seek refuge in the Purple Cloud Palace?" Chu Li shuddered, only to realize that he was already about to enter the Purple Cloud Realm in front of him, and his heart moved, so he stopped and said coldly: "The girl must also know that once you enter the Purple Cloud Realm, you and I will have no chance of survival." ”
