……
Autumn has deepened, red maple leaves, white frost and dew.
On the morning misty streets, Li Yanbei was walking on his back, and in the middle of his footsteps, bursts of whistling continued to sound.
He had been one of the most powerful men in the ancient city since ten years ago, and he was a strange man, and every morning he walked along his fixed route for half an hour, and this place was almost his kingdom.
At this time, he was always very clear-headed. The judgment was always particularly correct, he liked his cronies, and his subordinates followed him behind, waiting for him to give orders. And this has been his habit for many years, just like the early dynasty of the king, whether you like it or not, you must not go against it.
Since Feng Kun, the chief dart head of the "Zhenyuan Dart Bureau", was dragged out of the bed by him on a cold morning and thrown into the frozen river outside the Yongding Gate, no one dared to be late and absent again.
At this moment, the sun has not yet risen, the wind still carries the cold fragrance of the night, the leaves on the trees on the street have long since withered, and the dew of the fallen leaves has formed a thin autumn frost.
Li Yanbei clenched his fists and strode quickly, already walking from the path of the city to the center of the city outside the front gate, but his footsteps suddenly stopped and called: "Sun Chong." ”
As soon as Li Yanbei's words fell, among the group of people who followed, there was immediately a well-dressed middle-aged man with a white face and a slight beard who ran up to catch up, and it was one of the generals under Li Yanbei, who was famous for creating various blades and hidden weapons in the Central Plains.
Li Yanbei didn't even look back. He said in a deep voice: "I don't care for you. Before the decisive battle. Don't do big business. ”
Sun Chong lowered his head and said, "Yes." ”
Hearing this, Li Yanbei's voice became significantly louder, and he shouted: "Then last night, why did you sell the sixty-six ghost head knives, fifty swords, and all the bows and arrows stored in the library!" ”
Sun Chong lowered his head, his face had changed, he obviously didn't expect Li Yanbei to know about this matter so quickly, so he hung his head and said resignedly: "That ticket business is very profitable. It was almost three times the price, so I sold it, and..."
Li Yanbei sneered: "And business is always business, isn't it?"
Sun Chong didn't dare to answer again, his head hung lower.
Li Yanbei's face was already angry, his fists were clenched tighter, and he suddenly asked again: "Do you know who the buyer of the Dao is?" ”
Sun Chong hesitated and shook his head, but his eyes were secretly turning in all directions. At this time, they were standing on the narrow Cherry Street, and the shops on both sides were of course not yet open. But at this moment. In the narrow alleys on the left and right, two black canopy carts suddenly rushed out. Cut them off in the middle of the road.
Then, the canopy covered by the car was also suddenly lifted, and there were more than a dozen black-clothed men hidden in each car, each holding a strong bow in his hand, the strings of each bow were full, and the arrows were already on the strings.
Sun Chong just wanted to rush to the car, but his wrist was already clasped by Li Yanbei's iron palm.
Sun Chong shouted: "Don't shoot arrows, I..."
Li Yanbei sat on his horse with a deep waist, and with a backhand, he actually picked up Sun Chong's whole person, and met the locust-like arrows. In the blink of an eye, Sun Chong's man had been shot into a hedgehog by random arrows.
"Drink!"
Li Yanbei shouted loudly, and wanted to rush into the caravan, but who knew that after a group of archers in front of him shot arrows, his body immediately fell down, and there was a group of archers behind him, and the bowstrings of the twenty-eight strong bows were also full, and the arrows were already on the strings.
Li Yanbei's body immediately stiffened, this is twenty-eight hard bows, he is copper skin and iron bones, and he has to be shot into a sieve now.
Li Yanbei's face became whiter and whiter, and he seemed to smell death.
At this moment, a blue light crossed the air, and the blue light broke the bowstrings of twenty-eight hard bows in the sound of "bang, bang, bang", and then buried deep in the stones of this bluestone road.
Who has such an astonishing finger power that can break the bowstrings of twenty-eight strong bows in succession with copper coins?
Seeing this scene, the faces of all the archers changed color, and suddenly they all turned over and jumped out of the caravan, ran into the narrow alley, and ran without looking back.
Li Yanbei didn't catch up, these people are not his opponents, and they are not worthy of him, and these little minions are not the masterminds, even if they kill them, it will not help.
Li Yanbei shouted: "You might as well go slowly, go back and tell your master, just say that since Li Yanbei is not dead today, he will go to him one day!" ”
Bang Bang ......
A burst of applause drifted over the wind, and a sentence followed, "Good demeanor, good spirit!" Sure enough, it is worthy of Li Yanbei, who is full of benevolence and righteousness! ”
With a hint of a smile on his face, Li Yanbei said: "It's a pity that Li Yanbei, who is full of benevolence and righteousness, even if he has three heads and six arms, is not as good as Lu Wuchen and Lu Shaoxia's martial arts." ”
Swish!
In a flash, Lu Wuchen had already appeared in front of Li Yanbei, and it was he who saved Li Yanbei's life with copper coins just now.
Lu Wuchen smiled: "Do you know me? ”
Li Yanbei clasped his fists and saluted: "Lu Shaoxia's name is already famous in the rivers and lakes, no one in the rivers and lakes knows, no one knows!" ”
The cracking of the embroidery theft case has achieved Lu Wuchen's prestige.
Although the people in the rivers and lakes are surprised that Jin Jiuling is an embroidery thief, they are more concerned about who Jin Jiuling is planted in, you must know that Jin Jiuling has the reputation of "the first god of the public gate", and has served the imperial court for more than 30 years, and he doesn't know how many enemies he has provoked on the rivers and lakes, and there are really many people who secretly want his life, but Jin Jiuling has been living freely, which shows that his means are superb and his martial arts are superb.
However, such a famous figure was planted like this, which of course will arouse the interest of many people.
There is no impermeable wall on the rivers and lakes, and after repeated inquiries, everyone finally learned that Jin Jiuling was planted in the hands of a person named Lu Wuchen.
As a result, Lu Wuchen's prestige spread in the rivers and lakes, but Jin Jiuling was gradually forgotten by people.
Hearing this, Lu Wuchen smiled faintly and said, "Li Daxia praised it falsely. In fact, there is another person who can do this, but he is one step slower than me, so that I can take advantage of it. ”
"Lu Shaoxia is talking about Lu Xiaofeng?" Li Yanbei asked with a fist clenched.
Lu Wuchen nodded and said, "Yes, and he is already here." ”
Swish!
Another figure appeared on the street like wind and lightning, and Li Yanbei looked at it intently, it was Lu Xiaofeng, who was famous in the rivers and lakes with "four eyebrows".
"Is this Lu Wuchen talking bad about me again?" Lu Xiaofeng asked with a wink.
Hearing this, Li Yanbei said with a smile: "That's not it, Lu Shaoxia praised Lu Xiaofeng's kung fu with one finger, and he admired it very much!" ”
"Ha Lu Ha ......" Lu Xiaofeng smiled faintly: "It would be strange if he would say that, he is tired after driving for so long, why don't we find a place to eat breakfast?" ”
"Great goodness!"
……
The sun had already risen, and the heat coming out of the bean juice pot looked like an early morning mist in the sunlight.
Lu Xiaofeng took Lu Wuchen and the others to a small shop, and then said with a smile: "Although this is a simple shop, the bean juice and pig's head meat here are the best in the capital. I haven't been to the capital for three years, and what I miss the most is the bean juice here, Cai Xianju's barbecue liver, and pies in Pie Zhou. This morning, I will drink bean juice here first, and at noon and evening, I will take you to eat Cai Xianju's fire barbecue liver, and pie Zhou's pie. ”
Blinking, Lu Wuchen teased: "Lu Xiaofeng is Lu Xiaofeng, no matter where you go, the restaurant that Lu Xiaofeng takes with you is the best." ”
After a few people enjoyed a beautiful breakfast, Lu Xiaofeng asked lightly: "Li Yanbei, who do you think will send someone to assassinate you?" ”
"Humph!" Li Yanbei snorted coldly and said, "Except for Du Tongxuan in Nancheng, who else can have such courage!" ”
Raising his eyebrows, Lu Xiaofeng asked, "Du Tongxuan?" ”
Li Yanbei nodded, and the bowl with bean juice in his hand was pinched and crushed.
Lu Xiaofeng frowned, a little puzzled in his heart, and asked, "You are the two most powerful people in this capital, you occupy the northern city, and he occupies the southern city." For the last 10 years, you have been the water of the river and the water of the well. What's going on this time? ”
Li Yanbei said: "It's for 600,000 taels of silver and the territory of his southern city." ”
Lu Xiaofeng asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”
Li Yanbei said: "I have made a bet with him, and I will bet 600,000 taels of silver, and his entire territory." ”
"Hiss......"
Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but take a breath and asked, "What are you gambling on?" ”
Li Yanbei said lightly: "The bet is on the duel on September 15!" In the past ten years, although we have not violated the river water with well water, the grievances of these ten years have always come to an end. This time, we rely on this once-in-a-century duel to settle our grievances! ”
After a pause, Li Yanbei sighed, and then said: "But since the Mid-Autumn Festival, no one in the rivers and lakes has ever seen the whereabouts of Ximen Blowing Snow, and everyone in the rivers and lakes says that Ximen Blowing Snow is afraid of Ye Gucheng!" ”
Lu Xiaofeng said with a smile: "But you know that Ximen Blowing Snow is definitely not such a person!" But his disappearance is truly incredible! ”
Li Yanbei said: "Yes, everyone thinks that Ximen Blowing Snow will definitely lose, but I want to bet on him to win, even if he dies, I have to bet!" ”
Lu Wuchen interjected: "I guess Du Tongxuan won't give up such an opportunity." ”
Li Yanbei nodded and said, "Not bad, so I don't want to gamble." ”
"So you're gambling on each other's territory with your own territory?"
Li Yanbei said: "Yes, but if he loses, he will have to add 600,000 taels of silver!" I wanted to use this grand duel to bring about the grudge between the two of us, but something happened yesterday afternoon! ”
Raising his eyebrows, Lu Wuchen asked suspiciously, "What happened?" ”
"Ye Gucheng is injured!" (To be continued......)
