Li Xin was startled, took a short knife from under the pillow in his hand, gently pushed the door open, and followed.

This short knife was given to him by Cui Jiu before Li Xinlai left for Hu Ji Tavern. Cui Jiu knew that Li Xin loved knives, and half a year ago, Cui Jiu made an exception and left Su Qi and Li Xin for half a month, and Cui Jiu brought back this short knife.

Li Xin liked this knife at first sight, the blade was one foot long, and the handle was also sandwiched between two pieces of wood and wrapped with hemp rope. The whole knife was jet black, unpretentious, and looked inconspicuous, but Li Xin could feel that the knife exuded a faint chill. There is no coincidence in the workmanship, Li Xin is a person who knows the goods, so he can naturally see the preciousness of this knife. Cui Jiu didn't tell Li Xin where to get the knife, but it took some thought to find it.

The man in black walked out of the tavern and walked softly in the shadows, walking through the snow like a ghost.

The merchants in Tianhe Town have all closed, and even the beggars have found a place to shelter from the wind and snow and go to bed early.

Li Xin had seen movies and books about tracking before and knew something about tracking. Tracking is a technical job, a test of wisdom and patience. If you are too far away, it is easy to follow, and if you are too close, it is easy to be discovered by the other party. What is the right distance depends on the current environment and conditions. Now Li Xin kept a distance of ten to fifteen zhang from the man in black.

The man in black walked east along the street for about half a mile, stopped in front of a courtyard, looked around, and saw that there was no sound around him, and then jumped over, climbed over a wall more than a foot high, and entered the courtyard.

This yard is a medicine shop "Zhang's family has medicine", the owner is called Daniel Zhang, Li Xin once came here to buy medicine for Liao's treasurer, and chatted with him a few words. When I saw the name of this pharmacy at that time, I was surprised, this name is very avant-garde and straightforward, and it can only be summed up in two words to take such a name in Tianhe Town - rare.

Li Xin saw the man in black enter the courtyard, and gently followed him to the gate of the courtyard, watching the situation inside through the crack in the gate. I thought to myself: "In the middle of the night, what are you doing in the pharmacy so mysteriously?" ”

After a while, the lights came on in the courtyard. I only listened to the man in black: "Hurry up and grab the medicine according to the prescription and boil the medicine." If someone shouts, don't blame Lao Tzu for being polite. And if you talk about tonight's events, your whole family will die, and I will do it to so-and-so. ”

I only heard the pharmacy owner Daniel Zhang say: "Good man spare his life, I will catch it immediately, and I will boil the medicine immediately after I catch it." Please don't hurt my family. ”

The man in black said: "As long as you are obedient and keep it secret, I promise not to hurt you." Your family, I only lit their faint holes, and they will wake up tomorrow morning. What are you doing in a daze? Why don't you go soon? ”

After a while, there was the sound of a fire burning in the courtyard, and Daniel Zhang boiled the medicine......

Li Xinxin thought: "It turned out to be the mysterious couple on the third floor, who persuaded them to find a doctor during the day, but they didn't look for it." Now I come to grab the medicine in the middle of the night, why is it so mysterious, is it because I am afraid that others will find out? Li Xin had already recognized the mysterious couple named "Jiang Dechun and Xiang Chuanming", and it was Xiang Chuanming inside. Then I thought again: "It seems that he prescribed the medicine himself, isn't it different to come to grab the medicine during the day?" ”

Those who are good at martial arts will be good at doctors. This is a truth that everyone in the rivers and lakes understands. It is inevitable to bump and bump in the rivers and lakes, if you don't know some medical skills, leave some life-saving pills, then you are not a qualified Jianghu person.

Since Xiang Chuanming was taking medicine for Jiang Dechun, although it was strange, Li Xin felt that there was no need to follow.

He turned around and walked a few steps, and suddenly saw a figure appear on the roof opposite, heading out of town. Li Xin thought: "What is the situation today, there is another man in black." ”

Only a few seconds had passed since the shadow had passed, and another figure appeared, looking at the situation of chasing the shadow in front of him.

Li Xinding took a look and found that the person behind him was Liu Bing, and the commander of the Lin family was not in charge of the Lin family, why did he come out to chase people?

Li Xin was very curious, and he also took a deep breath, started light work, and followed.

The black-clothed man and Liu Bing were very fast, but Li Xin was not slow, and chased them to the outside of the town.

The man in black in front of him escaped into a wood, silent. The forest is not big, the radius is only twenty or thirty zhang, but the trees are tall, covered with thick white snow, and under the background of white snow, it is still dark inside.

Liu Bing stopped outside the woods. The poor don't chase, and the forest doesn't enter. This is the truth that has been tempered thousands of times, and it is this truth that makes Liu Bing dare not go deep into the forest.

Li Xin was five or six feet close to the woods, and his shadow was hidden behind a rock. Now he is a little excited, Liu Bing's body, he has seen it in the afternoon. The man in black in front can escape Liu Bing's pursuit, and he must not be weak. The duel between the two masters is about to begin, and it is impossible for Li Xin not to be excited.

Liu Bing held a few hidden weapons in his hand and said loudly to Lin Zhong: "Friend, come out." You can't run, if you hand over what you have, I can let you go. ”

There was no movement in the woods, and the only answer was the rustle of the leaves in the cold wind. The other party didn't take Liu Bing's words seriously, it seemed that he had made up his mind and would never come out. Liu Bing saw that the other party did not accept the offer, and he did not dare to rush in. The two sides are at a stalemate.

Li Xin behind the rocks only felt that the cold was pressing, and he squatted in the snow in the middle of the night, which ordinary people really couldn't stand it. He avoided being discovered, so he could only use his internal strength to resist the cold.

Liu Bing kept wandering outside the forest, thinking.

After a stalemate of a stick of incense, a slight sound of footsteps came in the direction of the forest. Liu Bing also heard the voice, groaned slightly, and also leaned over to hide behind a big rock.

After a while, two people appeared. Li Xin never expected that it was Wang Zongxing and Liu Yuming who came, and said in his heart: "What are the two of you doing here at the moment?" ”

I only heard Liu Yuming say: "Master Xing, why did you secretly call me out?" Why are you running so far when it's so cold? Why can't you say something at home? ”

Liu Yuming asked three whys in a row. Li Xin also wanted to know why, yes, it's cold, it's so late, what are you doing here?

Wang Zongxing heard Liu Yuming's question, stopped, and said, "Lao Liu, how long have we known each other?" ”

Liu Yuming was stunned for a moment, but still replied: "It's been fifteen years." ”

Wang Zongxing looked up at the sky and said in a deep voice: "It's fifteen years, three months and seven days, and now it's past the time of the child, that is, fifteen years, three months and eight days." ”

Liu Yuming was surprised: "Master Xing, you remember it so clearly. ”

Wang Zongxing said: "Lao Liu, when I met you, you were just an ordinary man pulling a cart, but today you have become the leader of the chariot and horse gang." ”

Liu Yuming also sighed: "Master Xing, my old Liu can have today, all thanks to the help of Master Xing, this is something I will never forget in my life." ”

Wang Zongxing said: "Lao Liu, I don't have many friends, you are one, seriously, it's not a last resort, I really want to be friends with you for a few more years." ”

Wang Zongxing's wrist flipped, and a dagger was inserted into Liu Yuming's chest, and with the other hand, he pressed his mouth. Wang Zongxing said: "Lao Liu, I'm sorry. We'll be friends again in the next life. ”

Liu Yuming's eyes widened, he didn't understand why Wang Zongxing did something to him, his mouth was held down, he couldn't make a sound, his eyes were full of confusion and questions, his eyes slowly faded, slowly turned gray, and finally indifferent.

Li Xin was also shocked by this scene. The two of them have a foothold in Tianhe Town with their respective forces, and they are famous for gambling. Often inseparably wandering around teahouses, taverns, gambling houses and other places.

Why did Wang Zongxing suddenly turn his face and attack Liu Yuming?
