Li Mao left the kitchen and hurried back to the barbecue place, what happened in the kitchen always made him feel a little strange, but he couldn't tell what the problem was, he could only rely on instinct to be more careful. At this moment, Li Shigu had already slaughtered the tender deer and was slicing the meat, while Gao Mu, Li Changshan and others were skewering the uneven thickness of the meat he sliced off.

A group of guards were raising the charcoal fire, and the other was setting up the table, and two of Li Changshan's right-hand men were inspecting the dishes: picking up the food with a silver knife, observing that there was nothing wrong before eating.

Li Mao watched coldly for a moment, walked behind a guard who was bending down to test the wine jug with a silver needle, reached out and grabbed a handful on his shoulder, and asked sharply, "Who instructed you?" ”

Hearing this, the guards had muscles as tight as iron, turned around sharply, and there was already a cold dagger in his hand, which slashed directly at Li Mao's lower abdomen, so close, so fast, a little slow dodge must be the result of a rotten intestine, the guard was obviously very confident in this, and as soon as the knife was handed out, he was ready to retreat.

Li Mao inhaled and closed his abdomen to avoid this fatal blow, not giving the opponent a chance, and swung his elbow to the opponent's ear, the guard was taken aback, obviously did not expect Li Mao to be able to dodge his fatal blow, but his body was also extremely fast, squatting and bowing his head to avoid the fatal elbow swung by Li Mao, the horizontal knife in his hand was already out of the sheath, and the horizontal end was pushed horizontally to cut Li Mao's soft underbelly.

This trick angle is tricky, Li Mao had to retreat to dodge, this fight, Li Mao actually fell behind, but because of this, the defender was forced to appear, but he gained an advantage in strategy.

Seeing this scene, Gao Mu, Li Changshan and others who were skewering meat were all practicing families, and when they saw this scene, they drew their swords to protect Li Shigu, and the guards stepped forward to protect Li Shigu tightly with iron shields to guard against the sneak attack of cold arrows in the dark. When the guards encounter danger, there is only one main general in their eyes, and any third-party action may be devastating, so after Xue Yingying and Yan Yan reacted, they did not dare to come forward to respond, and after the two were stunned for a while, they shouted and led the peripheral guards to form a defensive formation, and there were four or five hundred guards on the small lawn, most of which were hidden in the shadows from outsiders.

After confirming that Li Shigu was no longer in danger, the inner layer of guards took action to surround the assassin, the inner three layers, and the outer three layers. Li Shigu angrily pushed away the guards of the armor, wiped his bloody hands, strode forward, and sharply reprimanded the guards who assassinated him:

"I treat you like a brother, how can you bear to assassinate me? Tell me why, and I'll spare you from dying. ”

The guard sneered: "Have you forgotten the bloody case of the Ni family in Xuzhou? ”

Li Shigu was stunned for a moment and asked, "After you are the Ni family, who are Ni Yue?" ”

The guard said: "Do you think that the Ni family has been destroyed by you, you can sit back and relax, God is pitiful, the Ni family also has a descendant who has been living in Yangzhou because he is not welcomed." ”

Li Shigu threw the bloodstained handkerchief on the ground, and said hatefully: "Ni Ren, you are so confused, the Ni family has been favored by my Li family for generations, but when my Li family was in danger, what is the face of such an ungrateful person standing in the world?" You have been neglected by the Ni family, and you live hard in Yangzhou with your mother, how did you ever recognize you as a descendant when the Ni family was in the scenery? You came to me with your life, I don't know your life experience, but I think people's hearts are flesh and blood, can't I exchange your loyalty with a sincere heart, you ask yourself, have I treated you badly in the past seven years, I treat you like a confidant brother, but you assassinate me for a Ni family who treats you like a mustard, where is the justice of heaven? ”

Li Shigu sighed, closed his eyes, and waved his hand: "Let him go." ”

Gao Mu persuaded: "This person must have a party in the shogunate, and he should not be indulged." ”

Li Shigu closed his eyes, Gao Mu knew that he had made up his mind, and he didn't dare to persuade him again, so he ordered the guards to release him. Ni Ren didn't say a word of thanks, turned his head and left. Li Mao, who was closest to him, observed a slight vibration in his arm, and shouted, "Not good! But he saw Ni Ren twisting his knees cross-legged, and opened his hand to scatter three cold stars and went straight to Li Shigu.

The incident happened suddenly, and the shield-wielding guards had no time to react. In order to imprison Ni Ren, Li Changshan is also standing outside the circle at this moment, this distance is really a bit reluctant to come to help, and although Gao Mu is good at swordsmanship, there is still a gap compared with professional assassins, Ni Ren suddenly became difficult, he only stared dryly.

At the moment of crisis, Li Mao jumped and blocked three hidden weapons for Li Shigu with his chest.

With a muffled snort, Li Mao fell to the ground, at the same time, Li Changshan ravaged his body like a black panther, Ni Ren missed a blow, and was remorseful in his heart.

Gao Mu dealt with it on the spot, and forced the guards to leave with Li Shigu on his back, and only after confirming that Li Shigu was safe, he ordered someone to rescue Li Mao. As for Li Changshan, he didn't have to worry about it at all, the number one master in Ziqing was by no means in vain, and it was too simple, too simple to deal with a small assassin.

After Li Changshan and Ni Ren fought a few times, they gradually gained the upper hand, Ni Ren's knife skills were fast and ruthless, extremely sharp, but he lacked stamina, and he suddenly lost the upper hand. Dismantle two more moves, Li Changshan discarded the knife empty-handed into the white blade, his boxing method is simple and unpretentious, at first glance even a little ridiculous, but the moves are the essence of thousands of tempers, on the other hand, Ni Ren's knife technique is a little flashy, dismantling three moves Li Changshan has touched the bottom of Ni Ren, suddenly let out a tiger roar, the body is violent, blink to Ni Ren's back, elbow attack his left cheek, forcing it to cover, this move is a false move, take advantage of its unpreparedness, slammed a punch on Ni Ren's right arm, and then slammed Ni Ren's crotch with his knees, the two moves together, Ni Ren can only take care of one, protected his life, but his arm was broken by Li Changshan's punch, Ni Ren screamed, abandoned the knife and turned over and fell.

Gao Mu jumped over from the shed and shouted: "The minister has an order, keep a living mouth." ”

Li Changshan's iron fist was less than two inches away from Ni Ren's temple at the moment, and he retracted it stiffly when he heard the words. Under the personal command of Gao Mu, several guards helped Li Mao to the shed, Li Shigu personally stepped forward to inspect, Ni Ren's method of throwing the hidden weapon was not clever, and the angle was not very ideal, so the strength was not great, but the hidden weapon was fed with the poison of the blood sealing the throat, and the slightest carelessness would have to worry about his life, Li Mao was wearing scale armor close to his body, and the three hidden weapons did not hurt the skin, but the incident happened suddenly, when he jumped up to receive the hidden weapon, he accidentally fell and dislocated his left arm, and then he fell to the ground and failed to get up.

Xue Yingying and Yan Kun saw that they were surrounded by the sky, and they wanted Li Shigu to ask for guilt, Li Shigu did not manage money, separated the crowd and came to Li Mao, half-squatted down to inspect the injury, and saw that he was fine, nodded and praised: "Maohua is brave and strategic, not bad." It's just that the kung fu is still tender, and I have to ask Changshan for advice in the future, he is the great master of our military government. ”

Gao Mu was worried that Ni Ren still had the same party, so he persuaded Li Shigu to return to his house immediately, but the latter categorically refused. Everyone had to force their composure, and still held a barbecue banquet on the small lawn. The wine is good wine, the meat is good meat, and the surrounding scenery is also good, but as for everyone's state of mind, there are joys and sorrows, a few are happy and a few are sad.
