Chapter 262: Death

They are relatively well-manned, and they have been lurking in this small county town for a long time, and they are quite familiar with this place, so they took the lead in finding Li Gui and them.

"Hello, hello." After Li Gui said hello, he said anxiously:

"Tong'er went out to inquire about the news, and he hasn't come back all morning, have you seen him?"

"The little boy is out? It's okay, we'll send someone to find it, so you can follow us to a safe place first. When the visitor said this, although he frowned, he still opened his mouth to comfort him.

"Why don't you take the two of them out first, and I'll wait a little longer." Li Gui looked at the two women behind him and agreed, but he didn't think about leaving, but wanted to wait for his son to come back, he thought what if his son came back and couldn't find anyone?

"Don't worry about that, we'll send someone to wait here." Although Li Gui was still worried in his heart, this person said this, Li Gui still chose to believe that he followed him.

It was still the blacksmith shop that sold farm tools, and Li Gui even came here several times to order forks and arrows for hunting. He never imagined that this seemingly loyal and honest shopkeeper who was a bit of a philistine would be a person in the court.

The shopkeeper warmly received the three of them and arranged for them to live with good food and drink, but the good times did not last long, and the three of them had just finished their hot meal, and they had no time to go in to rest for a while, and four or five people walked in outside the door.

This is not bizarre, after all, this is a place to build iron tools, it is a business, and it is understandable that there is business to come to the door, but these three people wear uniform uniforms and each has a weapon.

Such a person is very rare in this small county, at least the shopkeeper only knows that there are no two people like this in this small county except for those who catch fast.

So with enough vigilance, I went out to meet it. Moreover, he also ordered someone to take Li Gui and the three of them to the backyard.

"The three guest officers are very raw, are they from other places?"

"It's funny that you shopkeeper comes to the door and doesn't ask what he wants to buy first, but cares about the identity of his guests first."

"It's abrupt, it's really because it's rare to see such a heroic person as the three adults in this small county. I hope that the three of you will not blame you, come, please inside, and see what you need. ”

A few words of effort, from the accent of the man speaking, and the tone of voice. The shopkeeper had already roughly guessed that these people were the group of people who came to Li Gui, because of the accent, these people were undoubtedly from other places, and they were people who lived in Luotianfu all the year round.

In this remote place for three years, it is rare to have a person passing by. The shopkeeper has been here for a short time, and he really hasn't seen a few faces.

Suddenly, there were so many people, and if you want to say that these people have nothing to do with the people who broke into Li Gui's house last night and went on a killing spree, he doesn't believe him if he is killed.

"Shopkeeper, we're big customers,......" said a relatively short man walking between the two, about 30 years old, as he said this, and gestured to the person on the left.

The man nodded, and by the time he had said this, he had already taken two steps back, intending to close the door of the shop.

When the shopkeeper saw this scene, although his posture did not change and his smile did not change, the muscles of his whole body were all tensed.

Sure enough, after this person said this sentence contemptally, he shot without warning. The board used is a short weapon, which belongs to the type of hidden blade, and a temper board like this type is good at close combat, and the speed is extremely fast. At this time, it was really silent.

Seeing the flash of the sword, the short sword had already quickly wiped towards the shopkeeper's neck. The shopkeeper was also born, and he was originally engrossed, although he couldn't see any traces of this person's move at this time. But with years of combat experience, when this person moved slightly, the man had already taken two steps back, and at the same time an iron plate bridge fell backwards.

A backflip and a kick out, this one kick aimed at the man's lower. Although there was no trace of this person's move, just by virtue of experience, he not only perfectly dodged this person's attack, but also launched a counterattack.

Even if it is a eunuch, this yin is also one of the weaknesses, how can it be controlled by others for no reason? So as soon as the man's foot was raised, he kicked the shopkeeper against him, and the two took a step back from each other.

The thin middle-aged man who came here is obviously a little higher than the shopkeeper, but because of his bias, his strength is very different from that of the shopkeeper.

After a few moves, the paused shopkeeper focused his attention on his opponent's weapon, where there was a small mark.

"Take someone to send the three nobles away from the back door first, I am in the way here, after going out, go all the way north and bring the news back."

The shopkeeper spoke quickly, and when he finished speaking, he took a step back and blocked the way to the backyard.

Although he didn't name him, the guys in this shop are all partners who have worked with him for many years, and they have a tacit understanding. When the shopkeeper said this, several people in the store ran in the direction of the backyard. At the same time, I also understood what the message was to bring back.

The three people who came, the relatively thin middle-aged man, saw the shopkeeper's behavior and did not move, but a pair of eagle eyes narrowed, and the killing intent in his eyes was rampant. At the same time, the body squatted slightly, and the legs were tensed in a bow.

This is a gesture of accumulation, and the shopkeeper believes that what he will face next is definitely a blow from this middle-aged man with all his might.

At the same time, the other two people who followed were not idle, but tried to bypass the shopkeeper and chased directly behind.

How can the shopkeeper be as these two people want? One pair of hands is like two fans, blocking the way of two people.

The shopkeeper originally had some fat and slightly chubby figures, and at this time he was blocked at this door, as if he was like a door god, leaving no space for the three of them.

The sword swung out of its sheath, but there was no sound of touching the scabbard. The shopkeeper only felt that three white lights lit up in front of him, and he couldn't see anything. It was so fast that he didn't have time to react.

In short, when he heard these three voices, he knew that he was going to finish his estimate, but even if he knew that it was so, his face did not change at all, and he rushed forward with his arms open.

The sound of three swords piercing through the clothes rang out, accompanied by the sound of three people being knocked into the air.

The shopkeeper may have been prepared, and at this time he was wearing a suit of soft armor. In addition, it was a hard-hitting road, and the unexpected building knocked the three of them back several steps.

However, there is only one person in charge of the shopkeeper after all, and his cultivation is slightly lower than the three of them. With one enemy and three enemies, although there is soft armor on the body, it is quite difficult to be able to knock all three people back.

So after this collision, injuries were inevitable, and after the three qi were transmitted into his body, he was suddenly injured internally, and his internal organs were churning and falling into the sea, and a mouthful of blood was about to spurt out.

However, the shopkeeper was also quite tough, without saying a word, he swallowed the mouthful of blood stiffly, and at this moment, his face immediately turned purple.

"Give me death." The shopkeeper roared, did not retreat, but advanced, treating his body as a stone, and crashed towards the middle-aged man with the highest kung fu.

This is a life-for-life style of play, a middle-aged man is a part-time worker, how can he not be shocked when he sees such a way of playing? Suddenly, I felt three points of timidity.

The footsteps were uncontrollable, and he took another step back. Masters make moves, cultivation is important, but momentum is equally important. The man retreated, and suddenly lost a first move.

The shopkeeper is shocking, and it is even more advanced at this time. The indomitable momentum, as if he is the one who controls the entire home field at this time.

Another sword light flashed, but it was another person who was closer to the middle-aged man who saw that the situation was not good, and stabbed him as soon as he saw it.

The shopkeeper did not dodge or dodge in the face of this sword, and he was not timid, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he really did not recommend it, and he bumped into the middle-aged man at once.

The sound of a broken bone and the sound of a sharp sword entering the body sounded at the same time. This sword made the shopkeeper's body have an extra hole, but the shopkeeper's collision also made the middle-aged man lose his ability to chase Li Gui and them.

Then I saw the shopkeeper's fierce sword that grabbed the stabbing head of his body, twisted his body, and the whole person rotated, and with the huge inertial force, he actually broke this diamond iron sword alive.

A kick came out and hit the man who stabbed him in the chest.

One blow of strength, then decline, three and exhaustion.

The shopkeeper's repeated movements, at this time, the momentum on his body has gone to most of it, and the strength of his body has also gone to most of it, and this kick is only eighty percent of his usual strength, but even so, it made the man not hold back his breath, and after Deng Deng's retreat of five steps, he hit the wall.

Under the force and reaction, he suddenly suffered internal injuries, and suddenly he was unstable on his feet and softened. Half-kneeling on the ground, a mouthful of blood spurted out - this man didn't have the strength to continue chasing people, at least not for a while.

Then the shopkeeper's joy rose from his heart, roared, and barely raised his own momentum. He pulled out the half of the sword that was still in his chest.

This performance of not being afraid of death, the person who was still standing in fright suddenly took a step back. The shopkeeper was overjoyed by this, and a smile appeared on his chubby face. However, the tiger's eyes were round, his murderous aura was revealed, and the fat on his face was constantly shaking with his grinning laughter.

This expression, such an imposing momentum, once again drew the man's attention to his expression. The shopkeeper took this opportunity to throw the severed sword that was pulled out of his chest at that person.

At the same time, he didn't stop, and ran into the man again. Although the man was bold, he was still intact and agile in the end, and after discovering his action, he picked up the sword and flew the severed sword, and at the same time moved forward a little further and stabbed it at the heart of the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper's eyes showed a fierce light, and he did not dodge or dodge, and his pace quickened again, and he slammed into the sword. At the same time, Pu Fan's big palm rose upward, and he grabbed the half of the sword that was picked up.

Hold the sword body hard, go deep into the palm of your hand for three points, jam the sword body with your bones, and then stab down with all your strength.

The sound of two sharp weapons entering the body sounded at the same time, and the figure of the shopkeeper and the person froze at the same time......

Li Gui's hot meal had just been eaten, and the person who brought her here broke into the place where they were eating, and pulled the three of them out.

Li Gui is already like a frightened bird, and when he is pulled away like this at this time, he knows that something is wrong. He didn't dare to resist, so he let the man pull him and ran out of the blacksmith shop.

It's still the same trick, in that small alley, turning around, taking advantage of the familiarity of the terrain to turn into the alley. After hiding for a while, they ran out together, and the three of them had time to stop and discuss.

"Get out of here first, go to Luo Tianfu along the road, we can find people all the way. As long as you go out of the small county, safety should not be a problem. ”

"No, I can't trust anyone. If they can come to the door so accurately, someone from us must have secretly reported the news, or at least someone told them our mark. How do we know who we really are? Don't lure the wolf into the house at that time, it will be really dangerous at that time. ”

"Makes sense. We can only rely on ourselves to go to Luotianfu! In fact, there is not much danger, if we can escape out of the small county town into the mountains and forests, it will not be easy for them to find our traces. ”

"Okay, then do it."

"Alright, I'll stay here, and you two go get ready."

After a few people discussed it, one person was left to guard here, and the remaining two left quickly, apparently to prepare what they needed later.

When the time came again in the evening, two people went out and three people came back. It turned out that he had stayed in the hiding place of Li Gui and the three of them before, and the person who waited for Li Tong to come back saw that he couldn't wait for the news, so after going out to inquire, he hurriedly looked for it, and just happened to meet the two of them, so they came together.

"Has this lord waited for my son?" If you wait, how can you not bring it with you? But Li Gui would rather believe that the goal of bringing one more person is too big, so he hid Li Tong somewhere, rather than believe that he didn't wait for Li Tong.

"I'm sorry." The man bowed and saluted, and did not open his mouth to call anyone. It's just an apology, but the meaning is obvious.

When Yixue heard the news, her eyes were dark, her feet were weak, and she almost fainted. Fortunately, Ma Guihua and him have been mixing with each other, so they can barely stabilize their figures.

"I don't think it's life-threatening, they are arresting people just to threaten the little prince, then it must be more useful to be alive than dead. Let's go to Luo Tianfu first, and then think about it slowly. The man who stayed behind spoke with relief and persuasion.

But he was worried that Li Gui would have a tendon and must wait for his eldest son. If this is the case, I am afraid that all the people in this group will die in this small county town.

"Good ......" Everyone made up their minds, and took advantage of the night to rush all the way to Luotianfu after leaving the small county town......

Li Xie, the newlywed Yan'er, originally wanted to give himself a few days off, but it was only the next day's time to go to the morning court. Li Xie originally didn't want to go, but the first day was not yet dark, and the holy decree came to the house.

The content of the question has one meaning: tomorrow you have to go to the morning pilgrimage.

Li Xie thought, is this old man concerned? It's just that he asked someone to go to the early court, and he also issued a holy decree. How troublesome is this next decree?

The flow through the three provinces requires at least a dozen officials to see it. In addition to this, someone has to make a special record for the record. Such a troublesome holy decree is just to let a person go to the morning court the next day, I am afraid that it is not an idle panic.

Li Xie complained like this, but the next day he had to go to the morning court.

Getting up at three o'clock in the morning, it didn't feel too sour, or for Li Xie, a person who had just had a wife, Li Xie hesitated again and again, struggled again and again, sat up three times, and lay down three times, and then pulled people up in a daze.

After eating the scary prepared things, I padd my stomach and came to the palace gate, but I didn't have to wait long for the palace gate to be opened.

After entering the main hall and arranging them step by step, Li Xie happened to be next to a large pillar.

Hehe, this is what Li Xie wanted. Before Li Zhanji could sit down, Li Xie leaned on the pillar first. With his left foot propped up and his head tilted, he has a comfortable position.

After worshipping the emperor, I listened to the music of everything, and if I was fine, I watched quietly and studied. There are some people who think they have the world in mind, and from time to time they will interject a sentence or two about those things that are not their business.

An early dynasty came to nine o'clock so boringly, and Li Xie's posture leaning on the pillar did not change, until a little eunuch next to him shouted:

"If there is something to play, there is nothing to retreat."

The things that need to be done have been done, and the meaning of this sentence is actually to tell you that you can step down.

Then after the courtiers paid homage for a while, they began to retreat obediently and methodically. Li Xie hid in the crowd, shrunk his head, and left directly if he wanted to follow the flow of people.

Li Zhanji sat above and saw all this in his eyes:

"King Qing is the first time in the early dynasty, so stay and dine with the widow."

Li Xie's footsteps were stunned and he knew that he couldn't walk, and then turned around, only to find that Liu Bao, the household servant, had not left at this time.

It is estimated that the eunuch secretly reported it before, so he will stand there openly and stay at this time.

Li Xie showed a kind smile to Liu Bao, but this smile was full of meaning in Liu Bao's eyes, going all the way.

He was already in poor spirits, and the face on his face was even darker, and even his back was a little restrained.

Li Xie then remembered that a few days ago, he touched his nose with some embarrassment. I want to explain, but I feel that the occasion is wrong.

If you don't explain, your conscience will feel that you can't get by.

Li Xie was so entangled, and followed the eunuch to the dining place.

And Liu Bao had no interest in speaking, so he was silent all the way.

After the meal was served, Li Zhanji gave a few orders to the eunuch and distributed the things. The three of them ate in silence.
