Chapter 166: Assassination
A ray of sunshine in the early morning, rushing into the familiar old courtyard, the scenery here is very beautiful and ancient, with a trace of loss, the sense that things are not people, the former Great Sword Zun lived here, he also came.
Li Tu walked in his hometown, and there was a sense of loss.
I thought that I would either die on the road of immortals, or soar to become a true immortal, and I would never return to my hometown, but I didn't expect that many years later, life would be impermanent!
"Lord Courier, is that you? Are you from under the stars, have you ever seen the Great Sword Venerable? You have the breath of him in you, he hasn't been back for a long time. ”
The joyful and beautiful voice sounded, which was particularly seductive.
Li Tu suddenly looked back, the man was standing, and when he saw the girl under the peach blossom tree, she was smiling like a flower, as if light and shadow were walking together.
Although the Peach Blossom Girl is wearing coarse linen clothes, she can't hide the kind of charm that seems to be stunning, and her round plump body makes people secretly salivate, which is really charming.
"You are, you are, Sister Xiaoyu." Li Tu recognized it and pretended to be surprised.
The Netherworld Hall Lord had introduced him to the people he was familiar with in this city, and since he had the aura of the Great Sword Venerable on him, he would definitely be considered to be acquainted with him.
The beautiful girl had red eyes, covered her cheeks and cried.
"The heir of the Great Sword Venerable, the descendant of the Great Sword Venerable is back, this is a good thing, I can't cry, I'll go tell the master."
"Let's go." Li Tu wiped her tears.
Ten years ago, Xiao Yu used to be the maid beside the Great Sword Venerable.
And Li Tu also inherited all his memories, as if I have you, to some extent, he is the Great Sword Venerable!
After that Sword Venerable had a premonition that things were not good and decided to return to the starry sky, he tore up Sister Xiaoyu's contract to sell herself in the Chu Mansion of Wangtian City, and rewarded her with enough money to spend a lifetime, so that she could live happily and not be so tired.
However, Sister Xiaoyu did not leave, and still stayed in Chu Mansion.
silently guarding the man's return.
……
"Master, master, who are you going to see who is back?" Sister Xiaoyu shouted crisply.
In the old yard.
An old man with gray hair looked at the heir who had returned from the door.
Just like it was back then.
This scene seems to be a reminiscence of the past.
The old man's hair spread out like the mane of a lion.
They haven't been seen for ten years.
Li Tu said guiltily, in that familiar Mengyi tone, "The old master is not good at learning, fights with others, and loses himself in the starry sky, this is"
The old man shook his head, "Don't say so much useless, you can come back, it's good if you can come back, since he is your heir, then I will treat him well." ”
At this time, Li Tu saw that the old man was limping when he walked.
"What's wrong with your legs?" Li Tu asked, his brows furrowed, and there was anger in his voice.
This is the old man whom Dajian Zun respects the most, and when he fell to this point, he was taken care of by this old man, so he did not lose confidence and still had faith in the starry sky.
Sister Xiaoyu said, "The master was victimized by the traitors in the clan, and they used cruel methods to bite ...... poisonous insects."
"Xiaoyu!" The old man's voice was serious, "Don't say it, this matter is over, don't mention it again!" ”
Sister Xiaoyu was aggrieved, looked at the angry old man, and said weakly, "Yes, master." ”
Li Tu knew in his heart that his father didn't want him to be at odds with the family and have conflicts.
And now that he is new here, he has no capital to fight against the huge family, he represents the starry sky, as a messenger, hoping to seek refuge!
……
"Lord Courier, Lord Courier." The guard hurriedly shouted, "The head of the family and the clan elder please come to the family hall quickly." ”
"Okay."
Li Tu nodded.
He's going to meet the guys in the clan.
……
Family Hall.
The young head of the family, Chu Shen, was wearing a white feather robe, and his demeanor was dusty, sitting on the throne with a smile on his face.
On both sides were the high-ranking clan elders, Gu Yi Sensen, and the faces of the clan elders were a little gloomy.
"Messenger Li, you don't say a word in advance when you come back from the starry sky, so that the family can prepare a grand ceremony to greet you."
"Wandering outside, the return of an unknown person will not take the trouble of a big family to greet him." Li Tu shook his head and smiled: "I'm afraid that many people in the clan have forgotten the starry sky, I came this time, it is with a mission, everyone, I can't hide it, the strange origin has already killed the old sword-wielder, and now he is eyeing the starry sky and wants to destroy the starry sky, only here is the only pure land." ”
"Hahaha, how strong the starry sky is, the master of the Netherworld Hall is even more famous, once she was recognized as the Tianjiao of the thirty-six ironclad cities, and the immortal spirit root she carried was unparalleled in the world, and even shocked the big people of the Xianmen, and personally came to extradite her."
The head of the Chu Shen family smiled, "She is the pride of our Chu family." ”
"The head of the family is overrated."
"Okay, don't say much polite words, Messenger Li, you came back this time with sincerity, but the starry sky has always waited with me." Chu Shen asked, "It is said that as soon as you enter the starry sky, you will have to cut off contact with mortal dust, how can those masters in the starry sky agree to this matter?" ”
Li Tu bowed his head and said, "Tell the head of the family, all the clan elders, don't hide it, the master of the Netherworld Hall is not good at learning and art, he is the enemy of people, he is abolished by the strange origin, the flying platform is cut off, the ancient road of the starry sky is gone, those people are no longer qualified, if they want to survive, they can only come here and look for opportunities." ”
"Ten years of immortal road is like a dream, looking back on the mortal world and not being an immortal."
As soon as these words came out, it was like thunder, and it shook everyone's heart.
It's so exciting!
"What? The Nether Temple Lord has become a waste. ”
"Cultivation has been abolished, I said, how can I not feel the oppression of the Netherworld Hall Lord all these years? And this kid inherits the strength of the Great Sword Venerable, but he looks very weak. ”
"Oh, the family's investment in these people has been wasted, it's a pity."
The young head of the family smiled stiffly and said, "Messenger Li, don't laugh, is the situation really bad to this extent?" ”
"Master, that's the truth." Li Tu said calmly.
The elder of the big clan was the first to jump out and said loudly, "Li Tu, even if the main cultivation of the Netherworld Hall is abolished, it is still valuable, and the family will not abandon her." As long as you tell her and ask her to hand over all the immortal things she got in the starry sky, the family will definitely ensure that she has no worries for the rest of her life. ”
Li Tu shook his head, "I'm sorry, clan elders, in order to fight with the strange origin, the Netherworld Hall Lord blew up the storage bag by himself, and he used all his means to escape from the enemy's hands. She doesn't have any immortals on her now. Moreover, this time it was not her own choice, this was the answer given by everyone. ”
Hearing these words, the clan elders were immediately furious.
"Fart, it's just gibberish."
"You must have hidden the immortal object."
"The unscrupulous descendant of the Netherworld Hall Lord, since the messenger you came, but you came empty-handed, hand over the immortal things, and spare you from death!"
"Believe it or not, you will be punished for mining in an iron mine for twenty years?"
The jumble of voices crushed over like a storm.
However, Li Tu is neither humble nor arrogant, standing in the center of the storm.
Just when many clan elders wanted to continue to make trouble and exert pressure, the young family head Chu Shen stopped these angry old men in time.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Messenger Li has come from afar, he must be physically and mentally tired, so let's go down and rest first." Chu Shen said, "Everything will wait for him to rest." ”
As soon as these words came out, the profit-hungry clan elders were very dissatisfied.
Even Li Tu was a little surprised, after all, when he was young, the Netherworld Hall Lord and the family master Chu Shen had an unpleasant quarrel.
In the end, the other party knelt down and kowtowed to apologize, and the hall master forgave him.
Between the two, there is a big estrangement.
Now that she came with her will and was in trouble, shouldn't the head of the Chu Shen family be the first to jump out and accuse and make trouble?
Then let yourself kneel and apologize, repent.
It seems that he has become the head of the family, and his energy has increased.
Li Tu thought innocently.
"Master, wait a minute, I still have doubts."
"But it doesn't hurt to say it."
"The old master's leg, what's going on? There is also the old family master, he is in the heyday of the Spring and Autumn Period, and the position of the head of the family should not be pushed away? ”
Li Tu asked expressionlessly.
At this time, the young head of the family was a little distressed, his expression was unbearable, and he was struggling.
"Hey, this is the shame of the Chu family, five years ago, the head of the Chu family was assassinated by the enemies of the family, but the family has not found out who the murderer is. And the elders of the clan saw that the head of the family was too seriously injured, so they elected me as the acting patriarch. ”
"I'm ashamed that I have been acting as the head of the Chu family all these years."
The head of the house spoke very tactfully, and he couldn't find any fault.
"Well, with the explanation of the head of the family, then I will be relieved." Li Tu nodded, and his tone became extremely harsh.
"But ......"
"I will still investigate this matter carefully, and I believe that the truth will not be covered up."
After speaking, Li Tutou walked away without looking back.
……
Council Hall.
The clan elders were furious and asked:
"Chu Shen, what do you mean?"
The young head of the family said gloomily, "Clan elders, don't be impatient, I want to kill him more than any of you." ”
"Do you think what he said is true? What if it is tempting us? ”
"Even though there is no breath fluctuation in his body, how can a mortal see through the strength of the Starry Sky Messenger with his naked eyes? What if he pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger? Back then, I had a conflict with the Lord of the Netherworld, that woman was too strong, and she had too many eyes, so I had to endure the huge shame and kneel down to apologize to save my life. ”
"Clan elders, don't be fooled." Chu Shen said meaningfully.
All the clansmen are old foxes, but when they heard Chu Shen's analysis, they couldn't help but be shocked.
What he said does make sense, what if Li Tu is tempting?
The Netherworld Hall Lord is scheming, and maybe he will show weakness to the enemy and make them careless.
The elder of the big clan considered it and spoke, "There is indeed this possibility, the old man has not considered this matter, he was too excited just now, and many of the words he said were out of proportion, thanks to the explanation and persuasion of the head of the family." ”
