Ah Rou's dagger stopped on Li Chengqian's chest, and he couldn't stab anymore.

"Why can't I do it!?" Arou looked at Li Chengqian's face in a daze, and the dagger in her hand couldn't be stabbed alive. "I always feel that if I kill him, I will suffer for the rest of my life, why do I feel this way?"

"Why did you stop?"

Hearing Li Chengqian's voice, Duan Rou was so frightened that she almost jumped up!

She stepped back again and again, looking surprised, and asked, "You didn't eat the food I cooked?" No way, I saw you eat two bowls of rice! ”

Li Chengqian sat up and said with a smile: "Well, the food you cooked is very fragrant, so I ate more." This is not Li Chengqian's deliberate praise of Duan Rou, but the truth.

It is not unreasonable for Duan Rou to be called a "thousand-year-old fox" by people in the industry, in order to achieve the level of pretending to be like someone, she has received various professional training, and cooking is one of them.

Duan Rou's face was still cold, and she asked in a deep voice, "Hmph, don't be flamboyant!" Where the hell am I showing a flaw for you to notice? ”

"Actually, you've been well disguised." Li Chengqian shook his head and told the truth, "If it was an ordinary person, I might really be killed by you, but I am not an ordinary person!" ”

Duan Rou was in no mood to talk nonsense with Li Chengqian, she knew that her assassination operation had failed, and the other party would definitely lay a powerful backhand, so it was best to flee quickly.

"Keep your life for now, I'll take it sooner or later!" Duan Rou said as she approached the window.

Li Chengqian didn't mean to stop at all, he just nodded lightly, as if he was talking to himself: "My life was given by you, and you can take it at any time if you want to."

Duan Rou's body paused, and there was a strange feeling in her heart, but she still escaped through the window.

After a while, a fierce fight broke out outside, and the time didn't last long before it fell silent.

When Li Chengqian came to the window, he saw dozens of flashlights shining on a person outside, it was Duan Rou.

Dozens of men in black aimed at her with various weapons, and at her feet lay seven or eight bodyguards.

"Master Li! What are you going to do with her? A bodyguard leader asked respectfully from Li Chengqian upstairs.

These bodyguards were all arranged here by Yu Daiyue, in order to protect the safety of Du Jingfeng and the medicine girl when Li Chengqian was not at home. In addition, these people also acted as Yu Daiyue's eyes, monitoring Li Chengqian's every move for her.

Of course, Li Chengqian knew about the existence of these people, because these people were well hidden and did not affect him, so he didn't bother to care.

Duan Rou gritted her teeth, her advantage was camouflage and assassination, and her ability to fight head-on was also very strong, but in the face of these guns, she could only be restrained.

"It's going to die this time!" Duan Rou thought to herself, "Hmph, it's okay to die, I'll be free, and I don't have to work for the Shadow Gate anymore!" She suddenly felt relieved, and thirteen years had passed since she entered the Shadow Gate when she was five years old.

These unbearable thirteen years are like a nightmare that can never be woken up! The history of blood and tears in it is unimaginable to outsiders!

At that time, in order to survive, she did not hesitate to kill her best friend, and then it was all kinds of perverted training and assessments.

She didn't dare to escape, the power of the Shadow Gate was too great, and no one could escape the palm of the owner!

Once, a top killer inside the door escaped without permission, only to be caught in less than 24 hours and skinned alive in front of everyone! That bloody scene still haunts Duan Rou's heart.

Since then, no one has dared to run away.

The master had promised that if he killed enough 100 people for the organization, he would be freed. For this goal, for the sake of freedom, she kills people in cold blood again and again.

Looking at the muzzles of the black holes around her, Duan Rou suddenly smiled and said secretly: "This can be regarded as retribution!" She shouted, "Shoot!" Give me a good time! ”

All the bodyguards looked at Li Chengqian, waiting for his order.

"Let her go." Li Chengqian said lightly.

Everyone below looked at each other, Duan Rou could hardly believe her ears, she was going to kill Li Chengqian just now! Why did you let her go?

The leader of the bodyguard was also a little puzzled, and asked again: "Are you sure you want to release her?" ”

"Let it go, she's an old friend of mine." Li Chengqian's tone was still calm, "Ah Rou, is this your real name?" ”

Duan Rou looked up at Li Chengqian and was silent for a while, then shook his head and said, "My name is Duan Rou, don't regret letting me go today!" Because I won't be grateful to you, I'll come and kill you!" So, it's too late for you to regret it now. ”

"Duan Rou." Li Chengqian nodded, kept his name in mind, and said, "I don't regret it, you can go." ”

"Humph! A sucker! Duan Rou cursed secretly, jumped into the dark jungle and disappeared.

The news of Li Chengqian's assassination soon reached Yu Daiyue's ears, and she hurried over the next morning, and the first thing she said when she met was to question Li Chengqian: "Why did Master Li let go of that killer?" I know you're kind, but we'll at least ask the instigator behind it before letting her go! ”

Li Chengqian smiled lightly: "It doesn't matter, no matter who is behind her, I will find them out sooner or later." ”

Yu Daiyue was still a little uneasy, and said, "That female killer will definitely come back, maybe she will bring more killers and weapons." No way! I'll have to send more people. After saying that, he hurriedly went down to make arrangements.

Li Chengqian did not stop him, he would have to go out in a few days, Du Lao and the medicine girl did need more people's protection at home alone, and it was good for Yu Daiyue to send people.

Three days later, Wang Yuan drove to Li Chengqian's villa as promised and picked him up in Beijing.

Li Chengqian has already arranged with Du Lao for family affairs, and since Dai Yue is in charge of safety, he has no worries.

Before leaving, the medicine girl who hadn't gone out for a long time came out for the first time to see off Li Chengqian. After this period of cultivation, the medicine girl's mental state has improved a lot, although she still looks numb, but at least when she sees Li Chengqian, there is still a glimmer of brilliance in her eyes.

Got in the car and set off.

Li Chengqian sat in the co-pilot, glanced at the rear mirror, and saw a figure flashing past on the top of a tall tree. He smiled slightly, and said secretly: "You still came along." ”

In fact, Duan Rou did not go far after escaping that day, but kept hiding in the forest near Li Chengqian's villa, monitoring Li Chengqian's every move.

The task was not completed, and she didn't dare to go back to resume her life, so she decided to follow Li Chengqian all the time, waiting for an opportunity to start.

Now it is popular to travel outside to celebrate the New Year, so there are many people who travel to Beijing at the end of the year.

The highway into Beijing is congested with traffic, and you can wait for an hour or two. It is not easy to pass through the border, and you have to be interrogated by the police, after all, this is the capital of China, and safety has always been the first priority.

Wang Yuan told Li Chengqian that all branches of the Ghost Dao would gather in Tianjing, first of all, each branch would have its own assembly, and then only on Chinese New Year's Eve could enter the headquarters to participate in the "Discussion of Dao Members."

The meeting place of the Northeast branch is in a high-end restaurant, and the banquet has already been booked, and anyone who used to say that he is a "tourist from the Northeast" will be ushered in.

Wang Yuan and Li Chengqian came to the restaurant, the parking lot outside was full of cars, the restaurant was full of people, and business was very prosperous.

The two walked into the restaurant, and a waiter took the initiative to greet and ask, Wang Yuan said that he came to the northeast to travel, and the waiter led them to a large private room of more than 100 square meters on the second floor, and there were more than ten tables of wine and food in the private room.

It is usually a wedding banquet venue, but today it was contracted by the Northeast Branch.

At this time, there were already many people sitting in the private room, and Xin Lie, the minister of the Northeast Branch, saw Li Chengqian and Wang Yuan coming in, and beckoned them again and again to sit beside him.

"Brother Li, it's the first time you've come to participate in our ghost gathering, and there are friends behind you, it's very lively." Xin Lie laughed, "I promise to blow your mind." ”

Li Chengqian smiled indifferently and said: "I'm a newcomer, I don't know what kind of activity this Taoist meeting is, Wang Yuan is also the first time to participate, so I want to ask Minister Xin to explain the rules of the event, so that I don't make any inappropriate moves in the event and make people laugh." ”

"Hmmm! It's a must! Xin Lie took a sip of Lao Baigan, nodded and said: "The rules of this Dao Gathering are actually very simple, that is, each branch sends elites to participate in three rounds of competitions, and the final winner can enter the secret room of the Dao Master, meet the Dao Master, listen to the teachings and blessings of the old man, and the cultivation can be greatly improved!" ”

"Minister, what's the competition?" Wang Yuan asked curiously.

"These three rounds of competition are respectively to compare concentration, endurance and strength!" Xin Lie Zhengse said, "This first round of concentration is to see who is determined and able to resist the temptation of the demons. This is essential if you want to become a high-ranking member of our demons. ”

"The second round of stamina is to input the energy in the body into the 'opening stone', as long as the energy of the opening stone is full, the door to the front can be opened. To put it bluntly, it is to see who has more energy in the body and lasts longer. ”

"The last round is much simpler and rougher, compete in the ring to see who is the strongest! The winner will be able to meet the Taoist Master and obtain supreme glory! Xin Lie's face was fascinated, he joined the Ghost Dao at the age of twenty-five, and more than thirty years have passed.

But he only saw the Daoist Master once, and it was this time that he was promoted to the head of the Northeast Division. It's a pity that since then, he has never had the opportunity to meet the Taoist master, so he deeply regrets it.

"Minister Xin, what does the Taoist Lord look like as his old man's parents?" Li Chengqian asked quietly.

Xin Lie looked out the window and recalled: "When I met the Taoist Lord thirty years ago, he was already over seventy years old, and now, it should be over 100. ”

Centenarian ...... Li Chengqian nodded secretly, he could lock the ghost Dao master according to this characteristic, as long as he met and confirmed his identity, he was going to make a move.

"Hello, this is a special gift from our hotel, and I hope you will continue to visit us next time."

A young waitress walked in with a plate, and I don't know if she wanted to, she put the dish in front of Li Chengqian, and then smiled: "Please use it slowly." ”

Li Chengqian glanced at her with a smile and said secretly: "You won't drug the dish again, will you?" Duan Rou. ”
