Chapter 16: The Assassins

The first month has passed, ushering in the second dragon of February, Su Li is going to leave Sansheng Village and return to Yunzhou City.

The twenty-eight deceased soldiers all said that they had no place to stand in Yunzhou City, and they were willing to stay in Sansheng Village and wait for Su Li's dispatch at any time.

Su Li left the shrewd Cao Yang to take care of the affairs of Sansheng Village for himself, Qin Ming wanted to wait for the young master before and after the saddle, Su Li also liked this person, but considering that he was impulsive and had no talent to learn, he politely refused.

Qin Ming begged Qing'er to help him speak, but Qing'er just laughed, so he had no choice but to give up and send Su Li away in tears.

This time the bandits were a private act, and there was no need to ask the state government for credit, Su Li just ordered someone to cut off the heads of Jian Ba and the four great Kou and bring them back.

When I came, it was completely different, I didn't need to dress up, I didn't need to hide, I just walked on the official road, and it was mighty.

Su Li rode a horse with Qing'er, followed by Su Fu and Twenty Iron Cavalry, and more than 100 people lined up in a phalanx to follow from behind, everyone was in a relaxed mood along the way, but the team was still uniform, without a trace of noise and disorder.

After walking for a day, I have returned to the outskirts of the city, fifty miles away from the city, and on the outskirts of the city stands the rudimentary shape of a building, like a pavilion, and there are craftsmen working on it.

A few people walked towards the team from the pavilion, Su Li raised his hand, the team stopped, turned over and dismounted, and brought Qing'er and Su Fu to greet him.

There were three people walking, in front of him was an old man with crane hair and a childish face, with a long flowing coat, very elegant, followed by two scholars.

"Meet Teacher He in the evening!"

The person who came was the great Confucian in the city, eighty-four years old, once the prince and the prince, deeply loved by the emperor today, at the age of seventy, he told the old, did not approve, at the age of seventy-five, he did not approve, and at the age of eighty, the emperor approved, and also convened the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, feasted for three days, saw him off, and in the banquet, he was always called a teacher.

He Zhi's writing is brilliant, on the first day of returning to his hometown, he wrote the poem "Children don't know each other, smile and ask where the guest comes from", every birthday, New Year, the emperor will always send congratulatory gifts, which shows the importance of his status.

"Good, good, good!" , He Zhi looked at Su Li.

"Please give me advice." Su Li bowed, and the number of courtesies was sufficient, but he was neither humble nor arrogant.

"Good, good, good!"

"The scenery here is very good, so let the late students accompany the teacher for a walk."

"Good, good, good!"

He Zhi and Su Li were side by side, and slowly walked to a piece of bluestone, the two sat down, and Su Fu and the others stood far away.

"Do you know what's good about you?"

Su Li was slightly stunned, thought for a moment, and said, "Eliminate harm for the people and exterminate the bandits." ”

"In the troubled times, without Jian Ba and Zhang Ba, there are more than a million thieves in the world, and only five or six hundred have been killed, what is the way?"

Su Li solemnly stood up and saluted respectfully to He Zhi.

"Really?"

"Much more sincere than just now!"

He Zhi laughed, he was a heroic person, and he was no less old than he was back then, so he took Su Li's hand and asked him to sit down.

"You send rice in the city, buy different snakes at a high price, and exterminate the bandits, all of which are small benevolence and small righteousness, not enough for a gentleman, you don't blindly do good, give them fishing, is the real great good, great benevolence, you give the people a self-esteem, people have self-esteem, they are not afraid of the world's robbers, and also, your "Snake Catcher Said", "The Lament of the Walking Girl" is very good, the article is inch-hearted, and the text can see that you are a person, this is what the old man said about your three good!"

"Late students are taught!"

Su Li saluted again, this time there was no sense of ritual at all, and he was sincere.

"After returning to the city, if you have any leisure, you can go to the old man's house and talk with me, an old man who is about to enter the wood!"

"Late birth, I must visit!"

Su Zhi was overjoyed, his face was flat as usual, and He Zhi's words were hard to find.

"You exterminate the bandits, your reputation is extremely high, at this moment Yunzhou needs a character like you, the old man built this pavilion, you give a name, so that it can be suppressed on the border of Yunzhou."

"Late life is ugly!"

Su Li didn't shirk, took the pen from the scholar, and groaned slightly.

"Mencius said that benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith, this is the five constants, and it is the foundation of the country, so it is called the Five Constants Pavilion."

The tip of the pen arrived in front of the plaque, and his heart swayed, feeling that he was extremely uncomfortable when he wrote these three words, and a sense of arrogance filled his chest, "If the husband wants to calm the troubled times, he needs to have a mind that is the only one in the world." ”

With a wave of the pen in his hand, the three words "Snake Cutting Pavilion" are like flying dragons in the sky, breaking out at any time, and he knows that this is a change in his mentality after cultivating the "Life and Death Talisman" of Tianshan Tong's grandmother.

He Zhi saw it, didn't comment, and said indifferently: "After the pavilion is built, hang it up." ”

Su Li rode side by side with He Zhi and walked towards the city.

"Hahaha, the person who greeted you is here, the old man is inconvenient to bother, please."

When the group walked to the ten-mile long pavilion, He Zhigong arched his hand, took two scholars, and floated away.

A large group of people walked out of the ten-mile long pavilion, and Su Li saw that they were all rich households in the city, and most of them had business dealings with their own families, but there were no real big households.

"Master Su, Boss Su, we heard your triumph, and we waited here for many days before we looked forward to you."

A group of merchants hugged up, Su Li dismounted, and was about to talk, but a person had already walked out of the merchants, no one arrived, the fragrance was fragrant, and a woman in red gave Su Li a salute.

The woman is thirty-four or fifteen years old, very handsome, called in ancient times, and in modern times, she can also be called the goddess of variety shows.

"Su Gongzi, the slave family is an iceman in the city, called the matchmaker, the daughter of several good families, the son has been in love for a long time, today the son has made a contribution and came back, I am afraid that after returning to the city, I will give other girls' families a quick start, so I sent the slave family to match a good fate first."

The matchmaker's voice is crisp and pleasant, although she speaks the clichΓ©s of the matchmaker, it does not make people have the urge to "shut up" at all, but it is very gratifying, and she has the desire to listen, naturally, it has a lot to do with her beautiful appearance.

Su Li covered his head and couldn't help laughing, but he was also happy in his heart, the merchants in front of him, the matchmakers, they were all snobbish people, but they were also weather vanes, from their performance, it can be seen that they have a very high reputation in Yunzhou City.

"Childe, please take a look."

The matchmaker is very neat, and she has already found three pictures of the girl's Danqing from her sleeve, asked Qing'er to help, and spread it out in front of Su Li.

I have to say that the three girls in the painting look good and are very eye-catching......

"Childe, it's good-looking, or I want it all."

Qing'er arched the fire road on the side.

"Well, the painter is extremely talented, and he has a wonderful hand to rejuvenate and bring the dead back to life."

Matchmaker: "......"

Xin said: "The stinky boy is very thief." ”

"Childe's discernment, these three girls are right with Childe, they have virtuous personalities, and they have no choice but to be a concubine."

Crossing into this world and asking a few concubines to go home, Su Li didn't refuse, but at least he had to look passable, and he didn't want to be blindly selected.

"If the three girls can have half of your appearance, they can send them to Yingbanzhuang at any time."

"Childe made fun of the matchmaker."

The matchmaker's face was shy, but she scolded in her heart: "The stinky boy is young, but he is teasing the old lady!" ”

Her phoenix eyes raised slightly, Su Li's face was very sincere, without the slightest blasphemy, with appreciation in her eyes, she could see that it was indeed true.

The matchmaker feels that this teenager is different, and she is secretly happy in her heart, there is no woman who doesn't like others to praise her beauty, especially from the heart.

Su Li didn't know that his ordinary words in modern times had caused waves in the heart of the American and Chinese woman in front of him.

"Wait for the matchmaker to find a better girl, and then bother the house, okay?"

"Always welcome! Su Fu, the matchmaker girl has arrived, so you don't have to push the customer. ”

The matchmaker was happy again.

"Master Su, this ......"

The merchants in the back looked at Su Li admiring the beautiful women in the painting, and naturally did not bother, so they ordered their subordinates to pour more than 100 bowls of wine to pay tribute to the triumphant heroes, but everyone stood quietly, and did not take the wine bowls, which made the merchants very embarrassed.

"Brothers, since the outsiders are toasting, drink it happily!"

"Command!"

Everyone shouted together, so frightened that many people's hands fell to the ground, and the wine splashed on the ground.

This glory is what everyone deserves, and Su Li naturally wants to fulfill it.

After everyone drank three bowls of wine, Su Li waved his hand and continued to enter the city.

Two miles away from the city, the roadside is full of welcoming people, the sound of gongs and drums, firecrackers is endless, and there are dragon and lion dances leading the triumphant procession in front.

Many people knelt on the side of the road, burning incense and worshipping, including many elderly people and children.

Su Li sat straight on the horse, his face was calm, he knew that he couldn't get off the horse, the idol couldn't be too close to the people, too much, he would fall off the altar, but he occasionally communicated with the people, but it could become a good story to circulate.

"Brother Sue! I've been waiting here for a long time, waiting for you to come back and drink three bowls! ”

A loud voice sounded, but the owner of the voice was extremely short, but his expression was unruly and very strong.

Su Li had a smile on his face, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, this person's name is Lei Bang, he runs a number of gambling houses in the city, he usually does a lot of evil, and his reputation among the people is very poor, and he likes to make friends with powerful people.

"Brother Lei is in love!"

Su Li arched his hand.

"You and my brother are polite! Come, bring wine. ”

Lei Bang took Su Li's hand, and two subordinates came over carrying a huge wine jar behind him, the wine jar had been opened, and the wine was fragrant, which was an excellent flower carving.

"Pour the wine!"

Thunder roared, and two other subordinates came over with a bowl of wine, and one knelt in front of Su Li with a bowl full of wine.

"Stinky boy, be careful!"

An inaudible voice sounded, and Su Li's internal strength was deep, but he could hear it clearly.

His body was slightly sideways, and suddenly a cold light hit his face, and a slender sword grazed his face, and if he hesitated a little, his head would be pierced.

The person who reminded him was busy pressing his mouth and blending in with the crowd, when the audience went.

Su Li dodged the attack, swung out a palm, protected his whole body, jumped into an open space seven or eight meters square, spread his skills, and fought with the assassin.

The assassin was the one who had just been holding the wine, and this time the expression on his face was stiff, as if he was wearing a human skin mask, and he was thin and had a good hand in his hands.

The sword in his hand is extremely thin and short, and he is very flexible when wielded, and his moves are very simple, without any fancies, in line with the modern laws of physics, "between two points, the shortest straight line", and every move he makes is to kill, fast and accurate.

Su Li has never met such a strong opponent since he got the system, in Sansheng Village, he fused the simplicity of the "Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Descending" and the complexity of the "Six Yang Palms of the Tianshan Mountains", and suddenly came to a very varied palm technique in the concise palm technique, and in the varied palm technique, it suddenly turned into an extremely concise palm technique, and the two sets of palm techniques kept changing, and the power was even greater.

This kind of talent for understanding martial arts is something that Guo Jing can only understand by playing a set of "Eighteen Palms of Dragon Descending" from the beginning to the end, and with the same skill, he can win Guo Jing and Tianshan Tong.

Twenty iron horsemen and more than 100 heroes, surrounded the two in the middle, and they didn't make a move, everyone knew that their martial arts were too far from these two, and going up would only cause chaos, which might not be a good thing.

The two fought for more than 50 moves, regardless of victory or defeat, and saw Qing'er tiptoeing, Lei Bang's face was like earth, the assassin was his person, he couldn't argue, the onlookers were sweating, and prayed in their hearts that Su Li would quickly knock down the assassin, and he was shocked in his heart, he couldn't imagine that this weak scholar's martial arts were so good, unheard of for more than ten years.

"Qing'er! Bring the wine! ”

Qing'er agreed, hurriedly ran over, and held a big bowl of wine.

A maid dressed as a man in the lively crowd laughed in a low voice: "Miss, why is this person fighting and still thinking about drinking." ”

The handsome young lady dressed as a scholar on the side said coldly: "Let's go, he's too weak......"

In this compartment, Qing'er poured a bowl full of wine directly at Su Li, Su Li copied it with his right hand, copied the wine, the yin and yang qi in his body penetrated into his palm, and with a flip of his palm, the wine turned into a little golden light and flew towards the assassin.

The assassin didn't dodge and went straight up, his body was drenched a lot by the wine, the short sword rubbed against Su Li's left shoulder, Su Li's body leaned to the right, and the assassin's left palm hit, bang, Su Li's mouth sprayed blood, his body flew out upside down, and he collapsed straight to the ground.

"Childe!" , Qing'er flew forward and lay directly on Su Li's body, protecting him.
