Chapter 38: The First Blood

Upstairs was quiet, through the slight night breeze, only the small guy carrying the pot and pouring water, bending lightly around the crowd to fill the table with water was heard. Although Chu Yidao and Xiao Shaobai did not raise their voices to talk, they also let everyone hear clearly.

Except for a few people who really paid attention to the trend of the situation in the field, most of the people on the third floor just watched, marveling and commenting on Li Bai's tenacity, the profundity of Chu Yidao's realm, and Li Yi's talent at a glance. What they saw and heard on the Songhe Tower today is just a proof of their extraordinary status in the conversation and insight in the words of their meeting between the north and the south.

In the rivers and lakes, there is never a shortage of news, and the fastest is news.

Just as Zheng Qin and Zhao Tianyan guessed on the second floor, it was precisely because of this that Zheng Qian needed this unruly Li Bai to "live better than death, laugh for the world", and then let them see it and let them pass it on orally.

A master who is strong enough to crush Li Bai, a spectator who is known as the "melon-eating masses" in later generations, and a pair of hands that will not get bloody, it can be counted that the layout without a trace was completed in a hurry, and Zheng Qin inadvertently showed the power of the Iron Sword Gate in Xiangyang.

However, since it is a game of chess, even if the chessboard is set up and the first move is obtained, things are still developing in a complicated direction after successive changes.

Zheng Aya'er left the scene, and Cui Wanran opened her mouth, raising the level of participation in this event to another level. Even if it is a genius like Li Bai, it is difficult to know more clearly the secular meaning represented by the participation of these two girls, and what kind of power they are involved in.

However, Xiao Shaobai knew.

So, Xiao Shaobai appeared, or rather, was forced to play.

The time for the feast to begin was approaching, and everyone knew that the matter was bound to come to an end. Everyone looked forward to seeing what the result of Xiao Shaobai satisfied both parties, but what the thoughtful people thought was which two sides they were.

Li Bai, who was sitting cross-legged, looked open-minded and healed on the spot, but his body was really injured and was on the verge of collapse. In order to attract most of the murderous aura and prevent Li Ping from being injured, Li Bai rushed to Chu Yi twice without pranayama, which was already seriously damaged.

The difference between the seventh order and the eighth realm is like the gap between a hound and a tiger and a leopard. Under Chu Yidao's deliberate torture, Li Bai has reached the point of exhaustion of his internal strength. He naturally had no time to pay attention to what Xiao Shaobai said.

Of course, he didn't pay attention to Xiao Shaobai walking towards him.

I have to say that the degree of malice in this world is far beyond Li Ping's imagination.

What rebirth brought to Li Ping was not like the golden fingers possessed by those predecessors in the novel, but more importantly, for a long time in this world, he turned a blind eye to those sharp knives and swords, fierce claws and teeth, and the malice that all beings in this world were accustomed to.

At this time, Li Ping also turned a blind eye to Xiao Shaobai, who was walking towards Li Bai, and the risks contained in this action.

Many years later, the people who had experienced the night of Songhe Tower and the great changes in the prosperous empire after that attributed the cause of all the blood and fire to Xiao Shaobai getting up from the table and intervening.

Some historians say that all things are composed and determined by chance and necessity.

Only a few people understand that many seemingly accidental things have already been driven and determined by the inevitability that runs through them.

If there is only one purely accidental factor, I am afraid that the only one who came to this world for unknown reasons is the boy. However, this is something that no one else knows.

Xiangyang City, this night destined for chaos, starts from Songhe Tower.

From the Songhe Tower, Xiao Shaobai walked towards Li Bai and began.

Many years later, many people realized that today's chaos was also the beginning of the chaos of the entire Great Qin Empire.

The young man meditating cross-legged in the middle of the field, the young man standing indifferently with an iron hammer in his hand, the bystanders sitting or standing around, no matter what mood the people were at that time, after the emergence of this chaotic whirlpool, until the years, some people died, some bleed, and some walked forward, no matter how they survived and lived, and no matter how long they were separated, these people were tightly entangled in various forms by the silk thread called fate on the night of September in this Songhe Tower.

The Pine Crane Tower is an outer eight inner four structure. There seem to be eight floors on the outside, but there are actually four floors on the inside, each of which is high and deep, and the space is huge. There are twelve windows on the third floor, which are tall and open, and can look in any direction of Xiangyang City. At the moment when Xiao Shaobai got up from the table, facing a window in the backyard, a lantern was silently extinguished.

"It's ...... to go to the water", in the direction of the kitchen behind the Songhe Tower, the shouts sounded with the firelight breaking through the air.

The shouts were noisy, and when they reached the upper floor, Xiao Shaobai, who had already stepped over Chu Yidao, frowned, and continued to walk towards Li Bai with his footsteps.

Although it is the first time for Songhelou to host such a large-scale banquet, but the high-end banquets on weekdays are continuous after all, and the iron sword gate has been transferred to many masters today, fire safety is not at risk, and small things such as kitchen water are naturally solved by people who have been prepared before.

The sound spread upstairs, and except for a few people on the periphery who turned their heads to look downstairs through the open window, everyone else was still looking at the field.

In a few breaths, Xiao Shaobai had already walked to Li Bai's side.

"Brother Taibai?" Xiao Shaobai asked Li Bai with a smile.

Li Bai, who was sitting on the floor bathed in blood, looked up at Xiao Shaobai and smiled back. Everyone was waiting for what Xiao Shaobai said next.

"Brother Taibai." Xiao Shaobai squatted down in front of Li Bai with one foot in front and one foot behind, and the two faced each other.

"Look at it like this......" Xiao Shaobai looked at Li Bai's angular face, the long sleeves in his hand were gently brushed out, his movements were gentle, and he went straight to Li Bai's dantian. It was so gentle that it seemed to be dusting off the ashes on Li Bai's body.

The palm that stopped on Li Bai's dantian paused for a moment.

Li Bai withdrew his eyes from Xiao Shaobai, and looked at the palm printed on his dantian incredulously, "You ......." Li Bai spurted out a mouthful of blood.

Xiao Shaobai got up and dodged slightly, blood spraying on the floor.

......

"Bang" At the same time as Li Bai's mouthful of blood spurted out, there was a sudden explosion downstairs, and although the long silk bamboo sound was flashing, it was still listened to by everyone upstairs, and more people looked outside the building.

Zheng Qian was watching the changes in the field with interest, and the interruption at this time made him a little annoyed, and he couldn't help frowning. Turning his head, he motioned to the middle-aged man behind him to take a look. The middle-aged man looked at the many guests upstairs, hesitated for a moment, and finally walked towards the staircase. On the way to the staircase, there were already many people standing, and when they saw the middle-aged man coming, they gave way.

"Brother Taibai."

"What did you do to him......

Li Ping's anxious shouts and Zheng Aya'er's questioning of Xiao Shaobai sounded at the same time as the hustle and bustle outside the building.

On the other side, after the middle-aged man walked separately, the people returned to their original standing posture, and the way they gave way had disappeared. On the periphery of the crowd, at the staircase where everyone was not paying attention, Zhao Tianyan was running up from the second floor, bowing his head and saluting, reporting something.

"This is an explanation to Brother Chu and the Shuzhong Sword Sect." In the middle of the field, Xiao Shaobai wiped the hand that had patted Li Bai's dantian, glanced at Chu Yidao, who was not yet clear about the situation, and explained to Zheng Aya'er. "I, abolished Brother Taibai's dantian. I'll be a middleman, after today, the grievances between Brother Chu and Brother Taibai will be written off, and the grudges between Brother Taibai and the Shuzhong Sword Sect will be written off. ”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked.

The dantian is the sea of qi, and if the dantian is abolished, it will also be abolished martial arts, and this life is insulated from martial arts.

Some people in the field secretly shook their heads but regretted, just crossed the steps and won, today's swordsmanship and martial arts shown by Li Bai will be transmitted to the rivers and lakes in the future, and they will definitely get the name of "poetry and sword", but they don't want to be on this pine crane tower, and the martial arts will be so wasted.

"Brother Shaobai, alas, you are too reckless......" Zheng Qian sat on his seat, pointing at Xiao Shaobai. Blaming in his mouth, his face was slightly regretful, but the excited light in his eyes couldn't be hidden. "Let's all pack up and get ready for the feast."

Zheng Aya'er looked at Li Bai on the floor who was still in a cross-kneeled posture with pity, as if looking at a broken peerless jade, and wanted to walk over, but she didn't dare to help it up, lest she let the jade shatter again. hesitated for a moment, but finally turned his head, and the long sword in his hand slashed angrily at Xiao Shaobai.

"Duo", Xiao Shaobai's sleeves were lightly rolled, and Zheng Aya'er's long sword was taken off and nailed to the beam.

However, Cui Wanran, who was blushing at the table, saw this scene and took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind, and returned to her original appearance as calm as water.

There was a soft "poof" sound, like a water bladder.

"Ah", Qiu Tiecheng screamed miserably, and then, Li Ping's immature body flew out far away and hit the table next to him.

Qiu Tiecheng, who was originally sitting on the floor, maintained the appearance of waving his hand, and at the position of the heart of his back, the dark iron chisel had been pierced out.
