Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Knife Catcher
"Dad, I'm fine, this big brother saved me!"
The girl pointed to the source of landing, her eyes shining with adoration.
The innkeeper saw the scene when Lu Yuan made a move upstairs, and knew that this person was strong, so he immediately came over and knelt down and kowtowed to Lu Yuan.
"Thank you, thank you Shaoxia for saving your life, thank you Shaoxia!"
The shopkeeper was grateful, and pulled the girl to kneel with him.
Lu Yuan waved his hand and motioned for the father and daughter to get up.
At this moment, Li Bai wiped most of the lime from his eyes, regained some eyesight, and asked the shopkeeper to go to the back kitchen to get some cooking oil to clean his eyes.
After lime enters the eye, it cannot be cleaned with water, and it will heat and burn the eyeball after encountering water, causing irreversible damage to the eye.
Before Li Bai finished cleaning, the crowd of onlookers outside became noisy again.
"Someone from the yamen is here!"
"These errands came at a good time, and when they were all dead, they came again..."
Accompanied by the commotion of the crowd, several officials wearing fast hunting clothes pushed through the crowd and walked into the inn.
"We received a report from the officer, someone is here for a private fight, and there is a fatality, can the prisoner be there?"
One of the leading middle-aged catchers asked loudly.
When he saw the blood and scraps of flesh all over the ground and the bearded men in the inn, his face was a little ugly.
Xueshen Town is a small town, and most of the warriors equipped by the yamen are some newcomers, and the highest combat power of the entire yamen is only eight grades.
It can be seen that the traces left by this battle are not like the destructive power of the Nine Rank Martial Artists.
If the murderer is an eight-rank martial artist, it will be difficult to deal with.
Lu Yuan didn't speak on the side, although he made a move, he didn't kill people with his own hands, everyone was killed by Li Bai.
"I am a knife catcher on the record of Daqian, these people are all extremely vicious, and they have been on the wanted list of the imperial court!"
While washing his eyes, Li Bai took out a token from his arms and threw it to the middle-aged catcher for inspection.
The middle-aged catcher quickly took the token, took it in his hand and looked at it a few times, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, with a flattering smile on his face.
"It turned out to be Lord Li Bai, who has admired his name for a long time!"
If you want to become a formal knife catcher, you must have the strength of eight products to start, and the actual combat ability must be strong.
Li Bai settled here, and although these catchers had never seen a real person, they had heard of his name.
"Let's dispose of the corpses here."
Li Bai waved his hand and motioned for a few catchers to clean up the battlefield.
"Yes!"
The middle-aged catcher quickly responded, and immediately began to clean up with other catchers.
The crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed.
The inn has a fatal life, and it will temporarily close for business and no longer accept customers.
Lu Yuan was unaffected, he just wanted to go upstairs when he heard Li Bai behind him stop him.
"This brother, please stay!"
"How?"
Lu Yuan looked at Li Bai with a calm face, this person has many enemies, and he doesn't want to have anything to do with the other party.
Li Bai saw Lu Yuan looking back at him, clenched his fists and said respectfully: "Thank you brother for helping, if it weren't for you, it would be estimated that the person lying on the ground would be down now."
I saw that my brother was disturbed during his meal, and he must not have eaten well, so why don't you go with me to my small courtyard for a few drinks? Rest assured, it's not far from here. ”
Lu Yuan didn't immediately refuse, and after thinking for a while, he nodded.
He came here to buy snow ginseng, Li Bai has his own yard here, and he must have some understanding of medicinal materials, so he can ask the other party directly, which should save a lot of time.
"Okay, then bother."
Lu Yuan nodded.
"Great, brother come with me!"
Li Bai was overjoyed, and took Lu Yuan through two small alleys, pushed open the wooden door, and came to a quiet courtyard.
The area of the small courtyard is not large, and it is not even as good as Lu Yuan's residence in the Blood Knife Gate.
Although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs, and the yard is paved with bluestone slabs, stone tables and stone benches and landscape trees, which is very elegant and warm.
Li Bai beckoned Lu Yuan to sit down and personally made him a cup of tea.
Lu Yuan took off his hat, revealing a handsome young face.
Seeing that Lu Yuan was so young, a flash of surprise flashed in Li Bai's eyes.
"Little brother, I didn't expect you to be so young, can you tell me that with your strength, you should have a small reputation in the rivers and lakes."
is such a young and strong man, and the meaning of friendship in Li Bai's heart is even stronger.
"My surname is Lu, the road of passers-by, a single name and a scene."
Lu Yuan naturally didn't report his real name, and casually made up a name.
"Roadscape?"
Li Bai frowned, and quickly searched his mind for the memory of the name.
But I didn't think about it.
He naturally didn't know that during the time when he was practicing martial arts in the Lu Family Martial Arts Hall in Chongshan City, he had met a few times with a young master named Lu Yuan.
It's just that things are not people, and the Lu family is gone.
Li Bai stood up, bowed to Lu Yuan, and said sincerely: "I am a rough man, I have never been to a private school, but I also know how to distinguish grievances and grievances, the little brother helped me this time, if there is anything in the future, just call!" ”
Li Bai is a knife catcher, in addition to his lack of money, but also because of his vicious character.
was helped by Lu Yuan today, so he naturally wanted to repay the other party.
When Lu Yuan heard this, he thought in his heart, "This Li Bai is a knife catcher, but he can ask for information about the knife catcher." ’
Lu Yuan wanted to be a knife catcher before, but he had to go through a series of assessments, which was very troublesome, so it was better to take this opportunity to understand it first.
Thinking of this, he immediately spoke: "Brother Li, how long have you been a knife catcher, if I want to join you too, I don't know what conditions are needed?" ”
"Little brother also wants to be a knife catcher?"
Li Bai was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "With your strength, it must be no problem, but you have to pass the assessment of the big cadres." ”
Seeing Lu Yuan's deaf look, Li Bai continued to explain:
"If you want to become a knife catcher, you must first participate in the annual martial arts test of the great cadre, and then go to the martial arts test.
If you don't like to be bound, you can be a knife catcher like me. ”
"If you want to be a knife catcher, you have to take the exam twice first, which is really troublesome..."
Lu Yuan originally thought that he would just report his name and go to the yamen to test his strength, but now it seems that he is thinking too simply.
"Of course, after all, it is for the imperial court, and the imperial court only needs those warriors who know the roots."
Li Bai smiled, "By the way, there are still two months before the next martial arts test, and you can come to me in advance when the time comes, and I will inform you of the location of this year's martial arts test." ”
While the two were chatting, a woman stepped out of the room and served a table full of dishes.
In the casual chat with Li Bai, Lu Yuan also knew the basic situation of Li Bai.
Li Bai had an ordinary background, his family conditions were average, and his parents saved money for a long time before sending him to the Lu Martial Arts Hall to practice martial arts.
Fortunately, he worked hard and had some talent, and at the age of twenty-five, he broke through the eight-rank realm.
