Chapter 240: Difficult to Walk

Di Li suddenly felt a strong palpitation for no reason, and this feeling was like a cold current that instantly swept through his body, making him shiver involuntarily.

This strange feeling made Di Li instantly alert.

His instincts have always been accurate.

Therefore, Di Li quickly walked through the corridor of the City Lord's Mansion and hurried in the direction of the secret room.

The door of the secret room, which was originally closed, had been opened at this moment, but Liu Feng's figure was gone......

A strong sense of foreboding welled up in Di Li's heart.

Liu Feng's disappearance will undoubtedly cause an uproar!

"Steward!"

Di Li shouted loudly.

"Gather all the manpower to search for Liu Feng's whereabouts! Fast! ”

When the head of the courtyard heard Di Li's order, he immediately responded, and he quickly gathered the family members and guards in the house, held torches, and began to search for Liu Feng's traces everywhere.

For a while, the city lord's mansion was brightly lit and full of people, and everyone's shouts and footsteps were intertwined, breaking the silence of the night.

Di Li stood in front of the door of the secret room, his brows furrowed, constantly recalling the previous scene, trying to find some clues from it.

"Did you find anything here?"

Di Li turned to a group of searching family members.

"Lord Hui, we haven't found any trace of Liu Feng yet."

One of the housekeepers replied.

"Keep looking! Don't miss any corner! ”

Di Li urged.

His instincts told him that Liu Feng must still be in the city and did not leave.

It wasn't until the appearance of the black shadow that the surrounding atmosphere instantly tensed to the extreme.

Di Li narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the dark shadow man who suddenly appeared in front of him.

From the other party, he felt a strong killing intent.

"Di Li, you are so unruly!"

The voice of the black shadow man seemed to come from under the Nine Shadows, cold and piercing.

When Di Li heard this, he sneered even more.

He stepped forward, approached the shadow man, and said defiantly:

"I'd like to hear how I'm not following the rules. This city lord's mansion was opened by your family? Or are you the master of this house? ”

A hint of anger flashed in the dark shadow man's eyes, he obviously didn't expect Di Li to be so arrogant.

Clenched his fists and said in a cold voice:

"Do you know what you're doing? Liu Feng's disappearance, is it related to you? ”

"Liu Feng is missing?"

Di Li pretended to be surprised and said,

"That's a big deal! But why do you think I did it? Is it because I'm here? ”

"Di Li, don't pretend to be garlic!"

The Shadow Man shouted angrily.

"I know your methods, and I know that you have always wanted to take your brother's place, so I don't hesitate to make some big moves, even if it hinders the organization's plans!"

"Hahahaha!"

Di Li laughed arrogantly,

"What a joke! You say I want to replace my brother? Then I have to ask you, why did I do this? What's in it for me to replace my brother? What I want has always been earned by myself, and I don't need to step on others to achieve my goals, not to mention that person is still my own big brother! ”

The black shadow man's eyes were gloomy, and he obviously didn't fully believe Di Li's words:

"That's a nice thing you say! You Di Li is very ambitious, you have always coveted the position of city lord, and you have also privately disposed of the important pawns of the organization. You're doing this without any reverence for the organization?! ”

Di Li put away his smile, and his eyes became fierce:

"I repeat, Liu Feng's disappearance has nothing to do with me! I have always done things above board, and I don't need to use this kind of indiscriminate means to achieve my goals. It's you, sneaking into the City Lord's Mansion late at night, and saying that I broke the rules, you are the real unruly, right? ”

The Shadow Man snorted coldly:

"You don't quibble here! I'm here today to warn you that it's best not to meddle in this matter, or you will bear the consequences! ”

"Threaten me?"

Di Li's eyes were cold.

"The last thing I'm afraid of is threats! If you really have what you can do, let the horse come, and I'll follow! ”

The Shadow Man did not answer Di Li's provocation, his silence more terrifying than any words.

Suddenly, his body moved, like a black lightning bolt piercing the night sky, heading straight for Di Li.

Di Li's reaction was also extremely fast, his figure flashed, as if he had blended into the night, and easily dodged the fatal blow of the black shadow man.

Between the backhands, he condensed the strength of his whole body, and slapped out with one palm, and the palm wind was like a knife, as if it was going to tear apart the dark night.

"Want to kill me? It's not that easy! ”

Di Li snorted coldly, and the figure quickly shuttled through the courtyard, trying to find the flaws of the black shadow man.

The Shadow Man didn't seem to be in a hurry to attack, he was like a cat and mouse, sometimes attacking Di Li's left, sometimes flashing to the right.

His dagger glittered in the moonlight, as cunning as a viper, piercing Di Li's throat.

The Black Shadow Man's attacks are getting faster and faster!

Every collision seems to tear the night sky apart!

Di Li's heart tightened......

If he continues like this, he will surely be defeated.

"Take my punch!"

Di Li let out a loud shout and slammed his fist into the chest of the shadow man.

This punch condensed the strength of his whole body, as if carrying the momentum of wind and thunder.

The Shadow Man didn't seem to expect Di Li to suddenly change his attack.

His figure flickered, trying to dodge Di Li's attack, but Di Li's fist followed him closely.

"Bang!"

The fists of the two collided in the air with a loud bang.

The air waves were rolling, and the wind was overflowing, as if it was about to swallow everything around it.

The black shadow man was shocked and took a few steps back, and Di Li was not comfortable......

He only felt a tingling in his arm, which had been shattered by this tremendous force!

Di Li knew that this was his only chance, so he gritted his teeth and wanted to pounce on the Shadow Man again.

The Shadow Man looked at Di Li crazy, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He didn't seem to expect Di Li to be so desperate.

The figures of the two flickered rapidly in the moonlight, and the palm wind and fist shadows were intertwined, and it was difficult to separate.

"Ahh

Di Li shouted in pain!

When I looked down, I saw that my left arm had been cut off by the black shadow man's dagger!

Blood poured out like a spring of water, staining the ground beneath him.

The Black Shadow Man watched Di Li fall in a pool of blood, and a hint of complexity flashed in his eyes.

But instead of hurting the killer again, he chose to turn around and leave.

It seemed to him that cutting off one of Di Li's arms was enough as a punishment.

The moonlight sprinkled quietly on Di Li's body like water.

Under the serious injury, every step of his life was like stepping on the tip of a knife......

Di Li covered the wound with his remaining right hand, and blood stained his palm red, dripping down his fingertips.

He moved forward step by step, each step as if crossing the chasm between life and death, and his figure looked lonely and desolate in the moonlight.

I don't know how long he walked, but by the time he crawled back to his room, he had half a life left......

Di Li knew that his injuries were very serious, and if not treated in time, they could even be life-threatening.

He took a deep breath to calm the restlessness in his mind and began to concentrate on repairing his injuries.

The energy flows through the body like a trickle, slowly moisturizing the damaged meridians and muscles.

As time passed, Di Li felt that his injuries had stabilized and the pain had gradually lessened. Although his left arm had lost sensation, at least the bleeding had stopped, and he slowly opened his eyes.

——————————

At the same time, the lights on the pier were dim.

The head of the city lord's mansion led dozens of family members to hurry over.

The torches in the hands of these people illuminated the entire dock as if it were daylight.

Liu Feng hid in a dark corner, his eyes revealing a strong resentment.

He wanted to take action himself to prove his worth and determination, but before he could make a move, an old figure suddenly flashed into his sight.

The old fisherman, who had lit a fishing fire on the bow of the boat, had turned the oar in his hand into a cold, shining blade.

I saw that he was in good shape and moved quickly, not at all like an old man.

The head of the nursing home quickly surrounded the family members.

"Who are you? Why the noise here? ”

The old fisherman's voice revealed an unmistakable majesty.

The head of the nursing home secretly thought that this person was absolutely extraordinary, so he took a step forward and arched his hand:

"He is the head of the courtyard of the city lord's mansion, and he is ordered to track down a fugitive. I don't know that the seniors are here, how offensive there are, and please forgive the seniors. ”

The old fisherman raised his eyebrows and said lightly:

"Fugitives? What fugitives? ”

The head of the nursing home hesitated for a moment, but still said truthfully:

"It's a fugitive named Liu Feng, he escaped from the dungeon of the City Lord's Mansion, and we are pursuing it with all our might."

"I haven't seen this person, so you'd better look elsewhere."

The head of the nursing home sank.

Since the old fisherman said so, he had no choice but to give up:

"Since the seniors haven't seen this person, then we won't bother. Let's go! ”

With that, the steward turned around and led the family to leave.

The head of the nursing home led the family members to leave in a hurry, but the footsteps faded away in the night and finally disappeared.

Liu Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and opened his mouth at Zhao Rang who was not far away.

Before he could speak, a rush of footsteps sounded again.

Liu Feng was shocked, turned his head to look, and saw that the head of the nursing home with a group of family members actually killed a horse pistol!

"As I expected! Liu Feng, where else do you want to escape? ”

The head of the nursing home sneered, and his eyes revealed a strong killing intent.

At the critical moment, the old figure stood in front of him again.

The head of the nursing home at this time had a gloomy face even more gloomy than just now.

"An old thing that doesn't know whether it's alive or dead."

With a wave of his hand, dozens of family members moved, and all kinds of weapons burst out of the air, directly taking the vital point of the old fisherman.

But seeing that the old fisherman's figure did not move, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes.

Just as those swords, spears and halberds were about to touch his body, he suddenly moved.

The action is so fast that it is almost impossible to catch with the naked eye!

I saw an afterimage shuttling through the crowd, accompanied by a scream, and the family members flew out one after another.

Every time he made a move, the old fisherman seemed calm!

In his hands, his oars seemed to have become the sharpest sword in the world, unbeatable!

The more the director of the nursing home looked, the more frightened he became.

But at this point, there is no way back for him.

I had to mobilize the strength of my whole body and swing my knife at the old fisherman.

This knife gathered all his strength!

The sword light flashes, and the momentum is like a rainbow!

In the face of this thunderous blow, the old fisherman just smiled lightly.

With a flick of the oar in his hand, he defused the attack of the head of the nursing home.

Immediately after, his figure flashed, and he had already come behind the other party.

"You ......"

The head of the nursing home only had time to say a word when he felt a sharp pain in his back.

The whole person flew out as if he had been hit by a giant hammer.

In the air, he could clearly hear the crispness of his own bones breaking......

Falling heavily to the ground, the head of the nursing home had lost the ability to move.

He lay there, watching the old fisherman come slowly, his heart full of despair.

The old fisherman walked up to the keeper of the courtyard and looked at him condescendingly, without any pity or sympathy in his eyes.

"That's it! The old man is the head of the investigation department in Zhenhai City Station Building, the great master of the three-grade martial arts - the old man Yuyin. Tonight's events are as if they had not happened to you. If you dare to leak half a sentence, don't blame the old man for being ruthless! ”

When the family members heard this, their hearts trembled, and after agreeing, they didn't care whether the manager was dead or alive, and left the dock with a roll, for fear that they would lose their lives if they took a step too late.

Liu Feng turned his head to look at Zhao Rang, who had been silent not far away, his eyes full of doubts and gratitude.

Zhao Rang smiled slightly and asked:

"Brother Liu, do you know how you escaped from the dungeon of the City Lord's Mansion?"

Liu Feng was stunned, he really didn't know anything about it. I only remember that I was dying of hunger in the dungeon, and then suddenly someone brought steamed buns, water and roast chicken, as well as the key hidden in the belly of the roast chicken.

"Is this the girl?"

Liu Feng looked at Qingqing beside Zhao Rang and asked tentatively.

Zhao Rang nodded:

"That's right, it's the young girl. Not only did she steal the key to the secret room from the city lord Di Tian's study, but she also took the risk to bring you food. If it weren't for her help, you'd have died in the dungeon. ”

"Then Zhao Gongzi, you ......"

Liu Feng looked at Zhao Rang, and already had some guesses in his heart.

Zhao Rang chuckled and explained:

"I work for the Investigation Division, but I am not a member of the Investigation Division."

Liu Feng suddenly realized.

This young girl is not only a member of the Investigation Division, but also has a higher status than this old fisherman!

To be able to serve the three rank martial arts masters for no reason is really terrifying!

Liu Feng was shocked in his heart, he never expected that he would have an intersection with such a character.

The young girl just smiled faintly, as if she didn't care about Liu Feng's shock.

"Young Master Liu, you are free now. But Di Tian will definitely not give up. ”

Liu Feng nodded, he knew that his current situation was very dangerous.

"Young girl, thank you for your kindness! Driven alone, the willow wind will be reciprocated by a spring! ”

The city suddenly burst into flames, reflecting half of the sky.

The direction in which the flame burned was where the Willow Wind Mansion was located.

"Di Tian, Di Li!"

Liu Feng gritted his teeth.

It was the revenge of the two brothers.

"Brother Liu, the festival mourns and changes."

Zhao Rang patted Liu Feng's shoulder and comforted.

Liu Feng took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the grief and anger in his heart.

"Qingqing girl, Zhao Gongzi! I have no way back now. Di Tian won't let me go, and I can't let him have a good time. ”

Zhao Rang nodded.

Liu Feng is a smart man.

Smart people are the best at judging the situation, and once a decision has been made, it is not easy to change it.

As soon as the words fell, the old man jumped up, and was already sitting cross-legged on the bow of the boat and began to fish.

He didn't seem to be affected in any way, and he was still at ease.

Seeing Zhao Rang and Liu Feng coming, he only nodded slightly, which was regarded as a greeting.

"Old man, we're about to go."

Zhao Rang said to the old man Yuyin

The old man did not speak, but continued to focus on the hook.

In a few moments he caught two fresh fish.

"We've got a good mouth tonight."

Qingqing said with a smile, then rolled up his sleeves, and the old man Bang Yuyin dealt with the fish.

"Old man, your craftsmanship is really good."

Zhao Rang hurriedly sent sauerkraut fish fillets to his mouth, and did not forget to praise.

"Haha, your little doll mouth is quite sweet."

Seeing that someone praised his craftsmanship, the old man finally replied with a smile, and then sandwiched a piece of fish meat into Qingqing's bowl.

The three of them chatted while eating, forgetting the disputes and troubles of the outside world for a while.

At this moment, they are like ordinary fishermen, enjoying the tranquility and beauty of fishing and hunting on the river.

As the night deepened, the boat moved slowly on the river.

The firelight of Zhenhai City faded away, replaced by a sky full of stars and bright moonlight.

After eating and drinking, the three of them went to find a place to rest.

The old man still sat in the bow of the boat, catching his fish, as if he would never get tired.

Liu Feng lay in the cabin, but his heart was difficult to calm down.

He wanted to ask Zhao Rang where the boat was going, but Zhao Rang was already asleep. Helpless, I could only toss and turn alone, trying to find a trace of sleep.

But the more you try to fall asleep, the harder it is to sleep.

I really couldn't sleep, so Liu Feng had to get up and walk to the deck to blow the wind.

The night breeze carried the wetness of the river and blew on his face, making him feel a little cool.

Looking up at the starry sky, he suddenly found that Qingqing was sitting on a high mast, holding a wine jug in his hand, drinking alone.

Liu Feng walked lightly under the mast, and was just about to speak, but Qingqing had already noticed his presence.

Qingqing smiled at him, and then threw the wine bottle in his hand at Liu Feng.

Liu Feng was caught off guard, and seeing that the wine jug was about to fall on the deck, Zhao Rang suddenly appeared beside him, caught the wine jug steadily, and took a big sip of it.

"Young Master Liu, can't you sleep?"

Zhao Rang asked.

Liu Feng took the flask and said with a wry smile:

"yes......"

Zhao Rang nodded and said:

"It's human nature."

Liu Feng took a sip of wine and asked, "Zhao Gongzi, can you tell us where we are going?" ”

Zhao Rang pondered for a moment and said:

"Sorry, I can't tell you just yet."

When Liu Feng heard this, he was slightly depressed in his heart, but he already knew that the result would probably be like this.

As the night wore on, the wind on the river was getting stronger and stronger, the boat swayed in the waves, and the willow wind finally came into a sleepy mood and fell into a deep sleep.

Zhao Rang and Qingqing continued on the deck, drinking the pot of wine.

They all kept quiet with each other, and no one spoke.
