"Hurry, hurry!"

Li Hu changed into a set of bright armor and loudly scolded the male and female servants in the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion who were rushing around like headless flies.

A woman in her thirties, still charming, walked out of the house, "Official, what's going on?" ”

Seeing this, Li Hu stepped forward and pulled her aside, and said hurriedly: "Madam, I don't have time to explain to you, take Long'er away." ”

Li Hu's wife didn't know what was going on, and just wanted to ask, only to hear the cry of a child coming from inside the house, and the nurse of the city lord's mansion walked out of the house in a panic with a child who was several weeks old.

"Li Wei, take Madame away." Li Hu said to a city commander beside him.

Li Wei agreed and said, "Madam, please." ”

Although Mrs. Li didn't know what was going on, but when she saw the panicked look between her husband's eyebrows, she knew that it was not appropriate to stay here for a long time, Li Hu didn't have time to explain, but kept urging everyone in the city lord's mansion on the side, "Quick, don't clean up!" He walked into a side room and said to one of his concubines, but the concubine was reluctant to pick up the pearls and jades on the dresser, "Hurry up!" Li Hu stepped forward and grabbed her and threw her out of the door rudely.

She wailed, just wanted to complain, but was set up by two soldiers under Li Hu's instructions, all the maids, Li Hu's three wives and four concubines, all in a commotion, under the escort of a team of soldiers, fled in panic from the back door of the city lord's mansion.

Li Hu wiped the sweat from his forehead, and his hanging heart finally let go slightly, although he didn't know why the young Mo Dao man in the backyard didn't notice it and gave him the opportunity to transfer his family this time, but he was very satisfied that his family could leave this place safely.

He clenched his steel knife and headed towards the small courtyard where he lived inexplicably.

Sitting inexplicably behind the desk, the letter was placed on the table, and he didn't care about the various sounds outside the room at all, just quietly studying the ink.

"City Lord." The deputy commander of the garrison was a strong man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, looking powerful, perhaps because of the hot weather, he took off his shirt, revealing a somewhat bloated, slightly erect general's belly, and the ink-colored robe was tied around his waist, and after seeing Li Hu, he threw the two heavy black iron plate axes in his hands on the ground.

"What's going on in the house?" Li Hu asked.

"Hey, I haven't asked yet, who is in this house, there has been no movement for a long time, eighty percent is a coward, scared and afraid to come out, I said, City Lord Li, just a coward, it is worth our such a big move, the whole city guards have been transferred, and you, the city lord's mansion, have been surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, you quickly give an order, I rushed in and chopped him a dog son." This deputy commander, who is arrogant and domineering on weekdays and runs rampant in the township, spoke like thunder, which naturally reached inexplicable ears. Inexplicably, he just snorted coldly, didn't care, and was still working on the ink. Although he now looks a little unhurried and comfortable, but the big green donkey that he called the eight cylinders is not very comfortable, at this time, it is screaming and screaming, four hooves frantically flailing, kicking and injuring several soldiers, or by twenty or thirty soldiers to the ground together, and then tied up with a big flower, tied a knot, in the mouth, was stuffed with a ball of linen, it can only snort, gasping for breath, kicking legs, but can not break free.

On the high houses around the courtyard, there was the sound of feet kicking tiles, and two columns of soldiers with bows and crossbows went up to the houses and high walls around the courtyard, and then drew their bowstrings. More than 100 soldiers surrounding the small courtyard pulled out their scimitars, raised their shields, and held their spears, calm and solemn, waiting for the battle. In the small courtyard, silence was restored, and the silence that could be heard from the needle falling was full of it, even if they had never been on the battlefield, the murderous aura that well-trained soldiers were still accustomed to, and every breath of each soldier was filled with icy cold in the humid and hot air in the south of the Yangtze River, which made people shudder.

But inexplicably he was not afraid, he was unusually calm today, even if he had heard the tense sound of the bowstring, the sound of the sword unsheathed, and the shaking of the armor, what he thought in his heart was never to escape, and even, he did not try to ask the Demon Emperor Immortal Emperor in his Lingtian Soul Sea for a way to escape.

When everything was quiet, he inexplicably took out a white cloth from the treasure storage bag, laid out the bookcase, and then took out a slightly better Xiaohao brush, dipped it in the ink that he had researched, and he thought about how to write.

After thinking for a long time, he sighed, and finally dropped the pen in his hand, but he only trembled and wrote two sentences: "But if you want to die, why bother to make others feel more nostalgic." ”

Inexplicably touched the well-behaved flying slave bird on his shoulder, the flying slave bird nodded, shook the white feathers on his body, jumped on the desk, and said to it: "The sky is high and the sea is wide, you can fly wherever you want to fly in the future, I hope you will never be bound by people again in your life." ”

Of course, the flying slave bird does not understand, it only knows that it has a destiny that humans have conveyed to it.

Inexplicably, he then took out the enamel bowl of preserved eggs from the treasure storage bag, untied the wine gourd on his waist, poured it full, and then said loudly to the outside of the house: "City Lord Li, do you have good meat?" Can you give the master a few plates, the right is the practice of rice on the Huangquan Road, the master finally came to the world, but he didn't want to be a starving ghost. ”

"Damn, Lao Tzu chopped you!" The deputy commander, who was like a fiery fire, raised the plate axe that was stuck in the ground and sank into the ground, and wanted to rush towards the white jade building in the small courtyard.

He put on a posture and just wanted to rush in, but Li Hu broke off and shouted, "Slow! Then he stopped, the deputy capital threw an inquiring look, Li Hu pulled him aside, he lowered his head, Li Hu whispered in his ear, he laughed for a while, and then waved the axe in his hand and said: "City Lord Li, you are also timid, I have heard, this small building is just a ten-year-old child, what kind of moth can be made, deal with him, and use these tricks up and down the rivers and lakes, I will bring him out to you from the inside, in front of you, chop him up." Obviously, he didn't care about what Li Hu said just now, and how did he know what kind of character it looked like was cowering in the house, not daring to show his face.

Li Hu stopped the grumpy deputy commander again, and comforted: "Niu Dutong, lion fights rabbit, we still need to go all out, this matter cannot be lost, otherwise, you and I will not be able to explain to Zhao Gongzi, you just listen to me." ”

"Hey! It's also troublesome. The deputy capital Niu Neng sat on the ground, frowning, a little displeased, it was a rare opportunity to be able to perform in front of the affairs of the uncle and grandfather of the country, maybe it was lost like this, but he was not good to show it in front of the city lord.

"Li Er, come here." Li Hu pointed to Li Er, the shrewd and capable housekeeper in the city lord's mansion, who looked around in the crowd for a long time and didn't interject for a long time, so he didn't know how to behave.

"Go, get some wine and meat from the back kitchen, and if you don't have one, buy some from the street." Li Er hurriedly agreed, and after sending him away, Li Hu came to the moon gate of the small courtyard, and did not dare to take a step, and then shouted at Bai Yulou: "Brother Mo, you wait a minute, I will let people prepare." ”

I just listened back inside, "No hurry, no hurry." When I'm full of food and drink, it's not too late for you to do it. ”

The inexplicable words were very calm, Li Hu didn't hear a trace of panic, the more this was the case, the more bottomless his heart was, and he turned to Niu Neng and said: "Niu Dutong, you guard here, I'll prepare things, remember, don't come nonsense." ”

Niu Neng didn't raise his eyes, waved his hand and said, "Go, go." Hurry up, Lord Lord, my axe is already hungry and thirsty. ”

Li Hu left with his head down, frowning his brows, locked his heart, and after a while, he came to his residence, at this time, his parents, wives and children, maids, maids, servants and other cadres who lived in his mansion had already withdrawn from the city lord's mansion under the personal arrangement of the city guard.

He took out the key, opened the lock of a hut, pushed the door and walked in, the hut was not big, because it was a partition, it seemed a little dark, he fumbled, lit an oil lamp, raised his hand to a calligraphy and painting, carefully opened it, groped for it, only heard a few crisp metal clashing sounds, in the silent hut a few rings, from the roof, tied down a carved delicate brown box, Li Hu took off the wooden box, and then walked out.

After he closed the door, he came to the lobby, put the small wooden box in his hand on the marble table, then took off the silver hairpin on the top of his head, and poked it towards the silver-white gossip lock on the box, like opening a combination lock, turned a few times, and then poked into another keyhole, turned a few times again, and with a bang, the box opened, and there was nothing special in it, only a small hazel gourd. He nodded with satisfaction, looked around, and then came to the bedside, and in an instant, the swift hand pulled out the scimitar at an incredible speed, a few cold lights flickered, and the brocade satin quilt on the bed was cut by the knife, and the tip of the knife picked up a square satin.

Li Hu picked up the satin, came to the stone table, took off the satin, spread it on the table, shook his shoulder, and returned the knife to the sheath.

He took out the gourd, then pulled out the gourd stopper, poured it towards the rags on the table, poured out the white powder from the gourd, poured a few pours, he picked up the gourd stopper, wanted to plug it, but he hesitated, and then shook it a few times as if ruthlessly, he lifted the gourd, looked into it, there was not much white powder inside, he put the gourd on the table, picked up the stopper, just plugged, but just when he was about to put the gourd into the box, he hesitated, but only in the blink of an eye, He frowned again, nodded slightly, and then pulled out the stopper of the gourd again, and poured out all the white powder in it, and after pouring it out, he looked inside, and then took out a very small porcelain bottle from his bosom, poured out all the contents and filled it with the white powder on the table, obviously, he still wanted to keep some, but only the little in the vial.

Li Hu was born in the rivers and lakes, but his experience in the rivers and lakes is not glorious, specializing in some murder and extortion and treasure theft, he was once famous and in the limelight, but at the beginning, he didn't know how to hide himself, he only knew that the money he snatched from licking blood on the tip of the knife should be free and squandered when he still has his life. Under the continuous investigation of the imperial court, he finally fell into the legal net in a green building, shirtless, and in the wind and snow.

Fortunately, the limelight not only brought him the court's arrest, but also brought him the appreciation of those who were actually in power in the court.

A death row prisoner, in his name, died in Ling Chi, and he was brought into the power center of the entire Han land-Taishifu.

After the old lady saw him, she changed his name for him, erased all his past crimes, arranged for him to be a martial artist in the house, and worked with other martial artists to train the orphans collected from all over the house, train them to become dead soldiers, and finally, privately arranged for him to come to Peicheng and become the lord of a city.

is a Jianghu person, how can he not have some deadly means, and what he relies on the most is not his vicious and ruthless knife, but the poison in this gourd, called "Nine Sons Piercing the Heart".
