In early spring, the chill has gone, and the weeping willows on both sides of the river have turned tender green under the spring breeze.

"Farewell this morning, see Er He Qiu, this Baqiao willow is given to Yuhai, Wangzhenghai has a smooth journey, Zun Weng is in good health, and his longevity is better than Nanshan." Li Rong broke off a wicker branch and handed it to Luo Zhenghai and said in a deep voice.

It is the tradition of the Tang people to fold willows and give farewell, and Li Rong naturally entered the countryside and followed the valley when he came to this era.

"Zhenghai, if you have the opportunity to go to Saiwai, I will take you to see the vast prairie and have a glimpse of the customs outside the Saiwai." Li Kaigu said loudly.

If you say goodbye, the two will probably never see each other again. After Li Kaigu returned to the Khitan, his identity changed, he was no longer a young man, but a Khitan chieftain and nobleman, and it was estimated that it would be difficult for him to set foot on the land of the Tang Dynasty in his life.

"Yuan Ming, see you in Luoyang when you go back." Luo Zhenghai said, shook his head at Kaigu, and galloped towards the official road to the south.

Early in the morning, Li Rong and Li Kaigu saw off Luo Zhenghai.

Zishuiyi is an important node of the north-south official road, the east entry is Xijing Luoyang, the south out of Lantian, Wuguan into Nanyang, Jingzhou. Luo Yuhai's home is in Jiangling Mansion in Jingzhou, which is still thousands of miles away, and he has since gone south out of Wuguan, and then went down to Hanshui through Nanyang to reach Jiangling.

Seeing Luo Zhenghai who was gradually moving away, Li Rong and Li Kaigu turned their horses and headed east. Ge Fushun and Li Shi waved their horsewhips lightly and drove the horses to follow.

"Di Renjie and his entourage, he and a coachman. I heard that Di Renjie had four more young people around him, and it seemed that they were the children of the official family who were going to Luoyang. A thin masked warrior bowed to Wu Zhonggui and said, but his body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

The source of the masked warrior's tremor came from the blood-clothed man standing next to Wu Chonggui, a burly man, carrying a long iron rod on his back, exuding an inexplicable bloody aura all over his body, always reminding people of his existence.

"Four young men?" Wu Chonggui asked.

"Two children of officials, one of them is the son of an official eunuch, the other seems to be of the Hu clan, and the other two are the servants of the former." The masked warrior said, "The two seem to be the people that the young master has told him to pay attention to before, one is named Li Rong, and the Hu people are called Li Kaigu. ”

"Haha, what a blessing." Wu Chonggui said, "The two of them bumped into me, and there will be Brother Lao Chang then." ”

"My target is Di Renjie, not the two people you said." The man surnamed Chang said coldly.

"Don't worry, I will kill Di Renjie with Brother Chang, and kill the two troublesome characters by the way." Wu Chonggui said flatteringly, "After the matter is over, I will personally present a big gift to You Lao and Brother Chang." ”

Wu Chonggui said that You Lao, Brother Chang, one is called You Shan, and the other is Chang Jian, which is the second of the notorious "Six Evils" in **. You Shan, nicknamed "Bloody Hand Man Tu", is one of the eight masters on the list.

The list of masters of the rivers and lakes is divided into the heaven list and the earth list, and sixteen grandmaster-level masters are recorded. Among them, the eight-rank grandmaster who can enter the heavenly list, and the seven-grade grandmaster on the ground list, is not the only sixteen grandmaster masters in the rivers and lakes, but the masters who can enter the list are all working hard in the rivers and lakes, and the record has been recognized by everyone, just like the nine dan in Japanese Go, there are nine dan who rely on the seniority of the big hand to fight together, and there is no name for the nine duan, the actual combat ability is not strong, known as the weak nine duan, there are active in the chess world and can often enter the Ben Yin Fang, celebrities, the nine dan of the chess saint cycle is the strong nine duan, and the super nine dan who often wins the championship.

Martial arts only focus on the cultivation of the grandmaster is equivalent to the weak nine, their purpose is to practice, can break the mystery of the human body, not good at actual combat, often work the rivers and lakes of the grandmaster for the strong nine, they are mostly martial arts to seek the Tao, rich in actual combat experience, can be shortlisted in the heavenly list or the earth list, as for the talented, with the potential to advance to the ninth grade of the great master for the super nine, most of them are ranked in the top three or four of the heavenly list, like Yin Wencao, Wu Youxu and other figures.

"Bloody Hand Man Slaughter" You Shan ranks sixth on the list and is also a rare master. He was cruel and murderous, and the "six evils" led by him created countless bloody cases, which attracted the attention of Di Renjie, and sent a master to chase and kill You Shan, seriously injured You Shan in a bloody battle, and killed the three evils in the "Six Evils", forcing You Shan, and Chang Jian fled in panic.

"Big brother, didn't my uncle tell us not to do it and only kill Di Renjie?" Next to him, Wu Zaide said.

Chang Jian frowned slightly when he heard this, these eunuchs actually kill people like them without blinking, and what is even more shameless is that while killing people, they are still unwilling to stolen their hands, and they typically want to be ** and want to set up an archway.

"This operation is up to me, Li Rong has insulted us and others five times, and it is the Li family clan, how can I let go of this opportunity." Wu Chonggui said.

Wu Sansi ordered him to contact the "bloody evil" You Shan to kill Di Renjie, but as a result, You Shan was in retreat and cultivating, and at the critical moment, he couldn't move, so he sent Chang Jian to come.

Of course, Wu Sansi had strictly ordered Wu Chonggui to only send his dead soldiers to join the assassination ranks, and he could not do it himself.

When Wu Chonggui heard that Li Rong was also there, he decided to kill Li Rong easily, but Li Rong himself was a master, plus Li Kaigu was two five-grade masters, Wu Chonggui was afraid that Chang Jian would not be able to succeed alone, so he decided that his two brothers would also go to kill Di Renjie, Li Rong and others, not only to complete the task assigned by his uncle, but also to take the opportunity to kill Li Rong, an opponent.

Di Renjie and his entourage walked on the official road, accompanied by people on the road, which was a lot of fun.

On the official road, there is an endless stream of business travelers, although there is no traffic, but less than 100 steps apart, there are pedestrians in groups of three or five driving big cars. The official road of Liangjing communicates with the Kansai and Kanto regions, and it is a major arterial road, and the exchange of goods and characters is indeed frequent.

At dusk, everyone came to Huichang County. Along the way, everyone half-rode and half-walked, and only walked more than 30 miles if they didn't walk fast, mainly to take care of Di Renjie, who walked slower in a carriage when he was old.

"Not far ahead is Huichang County, there is Huichang Station in the county, we can stay there." Li Rong pointed to the faint city wall in the distance and said.

There was a forest not far ahead, silent, and there were no pedestrians at the edge of the forest.

After Li Rong finished speaking, he waved his hand to stop everyone, his expression sank, and there was a trace of anger in his eyes.

"Why did you stop?" Di Renjie leaned out of the carriage.

"There's an ambush!" Li Rong said, "Here is only a few miles away from Huichang County, and it is the official road of Liangjing, the business must pass through from east to west, pedestrians along the way are continuous, less than dozens of steps can see people, now it is nearly dusk, pedestrians should be more rushed into the city, it is like now silent and silent, and there are no pedestrians." ”

Li Rong felt a trace of killing intent coming from the forest in front of him, stretched out his hand to hold the Dragon Yin Knife, and motioned everyone to pay attention to vigilance.

Di Renjie's personal guard Di Fu was a veteran of a hundred battles, so he naturally saw that something was wrong, nodded to Di Renjie, and asked him to hide in the car quickly, but Di Renjie refused.

Di Renjie is a person who has seen strong winds and waves, how can he be intimidated by a small ambush.

"Everyone get off the horse, Di Fu, Fu Shun, and Li Shi protect Di Gong's carriage, and Kai Gu follows me." Li Rong said.

When Li Rong saw this situation, he didn't understand that he and the others were burdened by Di Renjie and met Di Renjie's political opponent.

First of all, it will definitely not be someone who is targeting him, he has not yet come out, he has been practicing martial arts at home, and he has not offended anyone, except for the martial brothers a few days ago, but the enmity with the martial brothers is not a big hatred of life and death, then it can only be someone who is targeting Di Renjie.

"Di Renjie, today is your death." Chang Jian walked out of the forest with a wild smile, took two steps, and appeared in front of everyone about three feet.

"Eight steps of the spirit ape?" Li Rong saw the footwork of the blood-clothed man, and said secretly in his heart. Chang Jian's footwork is obviously one of the Shaolin Temple's true light body exercises, the spirit ape eight steps, similar to the spirit ape, like a dragonfly, seemingly heavy, but in fact light and spiritual.

Behind the blood-clothed man, more than a dozen black-scarfed and masked warriors, either holding long swords or holding horizontal knives, stared closely at Li Rong and the others, revealing their murderous aura.

"Di Renjie, thanks to you, there are only two of my six brothers left." Chang Jian said.

"It turned out to be "Shisha" Chang Jian, you and the six evils are cruel and tyrannical, wantonly killing people, and it is not a pity to die. Di Renjie raised his eyebrows and said.

"Six Evils" is the sworn brother of six ** masters such as "Bloody Hand Slaughter" You Shan, who have gradually become famous since ten years ago.

The six evils are ruthless and vicious, often attacking the wealthy and wealthy, robbing money and sex, and committing a lot of big crimes. Among them, You Shan's martial arts are outstanding, no one can control it, and later it was Di Renjie who invited Sima Chengzhen, one of the eight masters of the land list, to make a move, and cooperated with a group of masters from the six doors to seriously injure You Shan and kill the four evils. But You Shan still fought his way out of the encirclement with his strong strength.

"It's just a matter of becoming a king and defeating a coward, there is no need to oppress people with pedantic truths, my brother's blood feud can only be repaid with your surname Di's life." Chang Jian said.

After speaking, Chang Jian dragged the iron rod and killed Di Renjie.

The remaining dozen or so black-clothed masked warriors raised their swords and ran over quickly.
