Chapter 16: The Sinking Boat (3)

Li Luo saw Duanmu Shenzhou calm his anger, and said softly: "I don't need my seniors to help me do anything, I will do what I want to do, I will help my predecessors only for Luo'er, in the future, you and I are not friends or enemies, and my predecessors promised to spare me three times, which is enough." ”

"Hmph, that's what the old man promised Luo'er, everything is one thing, or not, the old man promised to help you do three things." Duanmu Shenzhou snorted coldly, afraid that Li Luo would underestimate his promise.

continued, "Don't underestimate the old man Yinuo, the old man is known as the big Luo Dao, looking at the rivers and lakes, the old man can only see the number of five fingers in his eyes, even if the old man wants to kill the current emperor, it is okay." After speaking, his face was arrogant, but he didn't seem surprised at all when he saw Li Luo's cold expression.

Duanmu Shenzhou didn't feel slightly discouraged, and then secretly explained, thinking that the child was not sensible and didn't know the weight.

Li Luo's heart moved, looked at Duanmu Shenzhou, and said slowly: "Seniors don't have to answer my three promises, but if I can tell who the assassin is that day, I am grateful." ”

"The old man just told you, can you avenge Miss Luo'er?" Duanmu Shenzhou looked at Li Luo coldly.

Li Luo's murderous aura was revealed, and he was silent.

Duanmu Shenzhou was slightly taken aback, he didn't want Li Luo to be so young and have such a heavy murderous aura on his body, and sneered: "I don't know how thick the sky is, if that person is strong in martial arts and far away, can you take revenge?" It's better for the old man to do it for you, and killing this person can be regarded as helping you complete the first thing. ”

Li Luo was surprised and asked, "Aren't you in the same group as the Assassins?" ”

Duanmu Shenzhou said proudly: "Joke, the old man has always been alone, who can manage the old man, but he only owes others a favor, so he came to this troubled water." ”

Li Luo sighed, nodded, and said, "Thank you seniors, but you don't have to do these things for your seniors." ”

Duanmu Shenzhou secretly praised, but his face was still cold, and said: "The person behind the scenes is in the south, it can be said that he covers the sky with one hand, and he almost stands himself as the king, and the Dagan court is beyond the reach of the whip, what can you do with a little child?" ”

Li Luo's eyes flashed, and he said: "It turned out to be him, no wonder, as long as you know, there will be a way, Da Gan can't manage it, I will take care of him, and it is not impossible to try it when I step on the south of Da Gan." ”

Duanmu Shenzhou was stunned for a moment, and exclaimed, "Have you guessed who it is?" ”

"Except for the Tiannan Song family, who has such courage."

Duanmu Shenzhou laughed and said: "Okay, no wonder Luo'er protects each other to death, not to mention whether you sit in the well and watch the sky, just this arrogance, you are indeed qualified to not be rare The old man Yinuo, the old man likes you a little." But if you think clearly, with your current strength, it would be a fool's dream to take revenge, even your father may not be sure of this, it is better to let the old man do it. ”

"Since the predecessors acted out of love, they naturally have something to do with the people of Tiannan, why do you still promise me to kill people, isn't it treachery?"

"Hmph, the old man owes someone else, and it has nothing to do with the person the old man wants to kill, and you don't have to worry about the old man."

"Thank you seniors for telling me bluntly, if you want to take revenge, I won't borrow the hands of others."

"It seems hypocritical for the old man to say more, but the matter of Sannuo is still valid, this is one thing, and tell me the remaining two things after you think about them."

Li Luo was silent for a long time, lowered his head and whispered: "How did the seniors meet Luo'er?" ”

Duanmu Shenzhou glanced at Li Luo, and said slowly: "The old man was entrusted to Zhuocheng five months ago, and he was about to assassinate Prince Chun, among the assassins was Luo'er, the little girl had a sad face all day long, and it was annoying to look at, but she was kind and diligent, and others were afraid of the old man, so she was not afraid, even if the old man scolded her, he was also obedient, and the old man was not used to these people calculating Luo'er girl, so he relented for a while, and left her by his side, and wanted to take her back to Kullying Ridge after the matter was completed, hum, how did you know that this would be the result." ”

Li Luo trembled slightly after hearing this, and coughed lightly.

Duanmu Shenzhou continued: "Originally, the old man meant to shoot when Prince Chun went out of the mansion to greet him, and he left after killing, there were too many concerns in the province, hum, this group of gutless rats had to do it at night, so as to facilitate escape, but they didn't know that the night was beneficial to themselves, but there was no geographical advantage, the defense of the prince's mansion was already tight, how could you get a complete defense map in a short time, if the old man guessed well, Prince Chun had been planning to use this as bait after receiving people, otherwise how could there be more of these martial marquis crossbows in this hall, It's a pity that these stupid people lost their lives in vain. ”

Li Luo nodded slightly, and also guessed that this time Prince Chun had already taken precautions, and designed to invite you into the urn, but he missed more than fifty Wuhou crossbows, and the two battalions of Tiger Wei Fengwu and a top martial arts master could not prevent Duanmu Shenzhou from breaking into the main hall.

Li Luo said softly: "Win in the chaos, I'm afraid that only a figure like a senior can retreat, after all, it is in Zhuocheng, if there is no outstanding martial arts, you can't escape the pursuit of the guards." ”

"Luo'er girl doesn't say anything about the tiger guard where you are, I thought this girl didn't know, it turned out to be righteous to you, hum."

Li Luo's nose was sour, his eyes were blurred, and he muttered to himself: "Luo'er, I will definitely seek justice for you." ”

"Justice? As for the culprit, it is you Prince Chun's mansion, how can you get justice for her? ”

"I can't kill the palace, the palace hides filth and dirt, so I will tear its skin open, so that these powers can no longer cover the filth."

Duanmu Shenzhou's eyes flashed, and he said: "It's not counting those hypocrites who are full of justice, in addition to the palace, Song Yayu, the head of the Tiannan Song family, is one of the top masters in the rivers and lakes, and compared with the old man, it is not much better, if you want to take revenge, even if you become a prince, it may not be feasible." ”

Li Luo let out a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you seniors, it's better than not knowing anything." ”

"It's a pity that the old man was invited to fight with him back then, otherwise...... Alas, it's a pity, Hongyan, what do you like about him. ”

Li Luo swept away the decadence slightly, and when he saw Duanmu Shenzhou's expression, he knew the clue, and said with a slight smile: "The hero is sad to pass the beauty pass." ”

Duanmu Shenzhou's extremely rare face turned red, and he said angrily: "What do you know, who in the world doesn't know that Song Yayu's wife Yu Hongyan was the most famous beauty in the rivers and lakes back then, and how many people fell under her skirt, hum, it's not a shame." ”

Li Luo said lightly: "Song Yayu can get such a momentum today, I'm afraid it can't be separated from this woman, what am I afraid of such a person!" ”

Duanmu Shenzhou stroked his beard and said excitedly: "Yes, several masters on the rivers and lakes were calculated by Hongyan back then, and they couldn't make a move on Song Yayu, which made him the first sword master in the world and helped him sit in the position of the head of the Song family. After speaking, Duanmu Shenzhou sighed in dismay, calmed down, and said to Li Luo, "Although it is difficult to take revenge, it is not without a chance, if you need the help of the old man, it doesn't hurt to speak out." ”

Li Luo shook his head and said: "Thank you seniors, seniors are so important, shouldn't they ruin the promise with the beauty for me, why did the seniors try to do it for me just now?" ”

Duanmu Shenzhou laughed and said: "A good mouth, yes, the old man was deliberately tempted just now, and it can be regarded as the old man Meng Lang." Such a heart is neither full of righteous hypocrisy, nor ruthless and unrighteous people, which is in line with the appetite of the old man, but he can't break the shackles of his relatives, and no one is perfect, if he doesn't have the slightest weakness, it would be fake. ”

"The predecessor entered the mansion to assassinate this time, so he never thought that it would be the Song family's plan to kill people with a knife?"

Duanmu Shenzhou was slightly startled, and said: "Your baby's mind has merit, what about killing people with a knife?" The old man promised first, if he died, his skills were not as good as others, and he couldn't complain about others. ”

Li Luo smiled lightly, although there were grievances, but the Duanmu Shenzhou in front of him suddenly became much more pleasing to the eye, and said in a harmonious voice: "I'm afraid that the seniors rarely praise others, and the juniors are favored." ”

"Admit that the younger generation, the little baby is rare."

Li Luochang bowed and said: "Thank you seniors for taking care of Luo'er, seniors have made promises, and I have thought about the remaining two promises, and you and I will write off today." ”

Duanmu Shenzhou's eyes flashed when he heard this, and he said, "You say." ”

"My predecessors told me that the truth is one promise, and the remaining two promises, one is that you can't regenerate and kill sins before leaving Zhuocheng, and second, you won't enter Zhuocheng again in this life."

Duanmu Shenzhou was stunned and laughed wildly, Li Luo hurriedly stopped, afraid that others would hear it. Duanmu Shenzhou said coldly: "Little baby, don't be frivolous. ”

"I'm not frivolous, my predecessors are righteous and keep their promises, I don't want to accept my feelings, I don't want to repay the favor, and I have my own plans for the remaining two promises."

Duanmu Shenzhou looked at Li Luo coldly, and said in a cold voice: "If the old man doesn't enter Zhuocheng in this life, do you have an excuse not to seek revenge against the old man?" ”

Li Luo frowned and did not respond.

"Little baby, arrogant enough, there is the old man back then, hum, the old man has a word first, and he can't take advantage of you, a yellow-mouthed child, since you don't want to coerce the favor, the old man has a word, if you answer, you and I will have nothing to do with it in the future."

"Please make it clear to your seniors."

"Your internal strength has a foundation, and your heart is also in line with the old man's appetite, and the old man wants to pass on your Daluo knife technique."

"My seniors want to take me as an apprentice?" Li Luo asked in surprise.

"The old man only teaches you martial arts, you and I are not masters and apprentices, after the art is completed, the avenue will go to the sky."

"Senior, why is that?"

"Hmph, if you really go to Jiangnan in the future, the old man wants you to defeat the Song family knife with a big Luo knife in a dignified manner, but the old man has a heart."

"Seniors aren't afraid that I will kill you first after I become artistic?"

Duanmu Shenzhou laughed loudly and said proudly: "If one day you can really beat the old man in Da Luo's knife technique, the old man will not regret even if he dies under your knife, the old man has been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for more than 30 years, and life and death have long been downplayed." ”

Li Luo replied quietly: "I can't bear the good intentions of my predecessors. ”

"Do you think the old man's martial arts are too low, and he is not worthy of passing you on?"

"The seniors are serious, and the seniors' martial arts are even praised by Master Xiao, and it is more than enough to teach me."

Duanmu Shenzhou sneered: "The old man Da Luo knife is thirteen styles, the old man can run rampant in the world if he learns nine styles, if he comprehends a few more styles, it is not impossible to be the first in the world." However, the Da Luo knife method is extremely lethal, only by practicing the ice heart technique of this sect will not be subject to the sword method, it originates from the demon gate, are you afraid of tarnishing the reputation of the palace? ”

Li Luo smiled and said, "What about being the first in the world?" Can I use a long knife to kill Tiannan and kill in front of Song Yayu? Besides, how can there be people who are made by swords, only swords made by people, this is just an excuse that the world cannot control itself. I don't know what the Demon Gate is, but what people do in the world is nothing more than their hearts, and reputation is the most tiring and useless. ”

Duanmu Shenzhou mocked: "The baby has such a big breath, in the end, she is still afraid of the Song family in Nanfu, Luo'er is just an ordinary girl, there are many in the palace, why bother to say big things for her, so as not to be ashamed of it in the future." ”

Li Luo said angrily: "I'm not afraid of him!" ”

"Haha, the Song family has self-respect in Nanfu, cedes the land and is called the king, there are friends in the court to help each other, and Song Yayu is even more famous in the wilderness, even if you are scheming, you can beat Song Yayu in terms of power and strategy, once he is defeated and hidden in the rivers and lakes, he can still make waves, and then what can you do with him?"

"I ......"

"Song Yayu's reputation is on the knife in his hand, as long as his reputation does not fall, there are people in the rivers and lakes who tend to be inflammatory, if you beat him in knife skills, it will make him uncomfortable than cutting his flesh and drinking his blood, but Song Yayu's knife skills are indeed exquisite, and the old man does not dare to say that he can win, do you, it is common for you to have no guts to do anything with him, just hide in the Zhuocheng Palace, what you just said should be regarded as a fart."

"Who said I don't have guts!" Li Luo's face turned red, his forehead was bruised, and he shouted angrily.

"I don't even have the courage to learn the Demon Gate Sword Technique, and I still have the courage to challenge him? Hmph, the old man looks down on you the most like a gutless rat, tonight the old man left by himself, and the province stayed here to gag. ”

"What am I afraid to learn! After the art is completed, I will first fight Song Yayu, and then come to learn the stunts of the predecessors, not only the superior, but also the life and death, and the seniors must not regret it. ”

Duanmu Shenzhou smiled gloomily: "Regret? Baby, if you can make the old man regret it, the old man counts you as a character. ”

Li Luo walked out with his sleeves up, very annoyed. Outside the cave, the cold wind blew, Li Luo gradually calmed down, suddenly woke up to Duanmu Shenzhou's mind, looked back at the cave, opened his mouth to exhale, sighed for a long time, and bowed.

Although Duanmu Shenzhou couldn't see Li Luo, he seemed to feel something, and said leisurely: "It's a pity for the little baby." ”

Qiu Ji was still on guard outside the cave, and when he saw Li Luo coming out, he hurriedly came to Li Luo's side, and said with a smile: "Brother Luo, you have finished speaking, why is it so long, and there is still a joke?" ”

Li Luo smiled faintly, shook his head slightly, and asked in a harmonious voice, "Qiuji, where do you live on weekdays?" ”

"Me?" Akiyoshi scratched his head and said disapprovingly, "I often have to watch my flowers and plants in the backyard, and I stay here if I have nothing to do. ”

"Ah, how can it be done, it's cold, how about frostbite?"

Akiyoshi smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm used to being wild, I'm not so delicate, don't worry." ”

"No, the weather will be colder in a while, and you can't stay here, you can go back to Qingxin Building with me."

Akiyoshi shook his round head like a rattle, and said without thinking, "I'm not going." ”

"Why?" Li Luo asked in surprise.

"Brother Luo, I've been to you there, it's more beautiful than my thatched hut, but it's always a shortcoming, it's okay to go once or twice, it's not comfortable after a long time, and I am reluctant to leave my flowers and plants, it's cold, or I should freeze on them."

Li Luo looked at Akiyoshi in a daze, and muttered, "What do I lack there?" ”

"Wind." Akiyoshi replied excitedly.

"Wind?" Li Luo was puzzled, "It's windy in my courtyard." ”

"It's the wind, the wind there is dead, it's not the same as the wind outside, the wind outside can blow into people's bodies, the wind there is weird, like paste, it's always sticky, you can't get rid of it, it's very uncomfortable, Brother Luo, if you have nothing to do, come to the backyard to find me, I'll take you to find the wind."

Li Luo was in a trance, and suddenly there was a tiredness that could not be dispersed, and he had no intention of saying more, waved his hand, and left quietly.

Back in Qingxin Building, Li Luo saw Su Xue's anxious and worried face, remembering that Su Xue didn't care about her safety that day, but he still had to hide it from her, he was sorry, and swallowed the words as soon as they came to his mouth. Su Xue saw that Li Luo looked tired, so she didn't say anything and quietly stayed by Li Luo's side.

"Tracing the snow."

"Huh?"

"Luo'er has a familiar friend Qiuji in the house, who is often bullied, Luo'er is gone, no one takes care of her, you go and talk to Steward Li, and compile her in Qingxinlou, and all the monthly salaries will be issued according to the rules of Qingxinlou."

"Yes." Su Xue was about to leave the house, Li Luo remembered something, and called Su Xue and said: "Wait, let's go after the New Year, don't be in a hurry." ”

Su Xue glanced at Li Luo strangely and responded.
