Li Ke rode his horse and galloped towards the northeast of Jinyang, because according to Li Ke's plan, he had to reach Xiangshui Town before dark, during which he not only had to cross Xiaoheng Mountain, but also through Xiangshui Forest and across the Xiangshui River to reach.

There are more than 100 miles between Jinyang and Xiangshui Town, and there are no village households in the middle, which is the only way to the northeast.

When encountering the open wilderness, Li Ke will gallop quickly, if it is a mountain trail, Li Ke will leisurely and leisurely while enjoying while picking up the wine jug on the saddle and taking a sip, sometimes reciting three or two lines of poetry, so uncomfortable.

After the Tian family knew that Li Ke was expelled from the house by Li Tian, they were dissatisfied in their hearts, and felt that such a punishment was cheap for Li Ke, and the marriage contract between the two families was also over, at this time, a common thought between the father and daughter of the Tian family was: "Li Tian Li Ke father and son should not be staging a bitter trick, and when the matter calms down, this Li Ke came out of nowhere to return to the Li family, as soon as this move came, the marriage contract was also dissolved, and the Li family promised to give the Tian family an explanation." ”

"Judging from Li Tian's personality for so many years, it is inevitable that there will be this possibility, this Li Tian has been in business for so many years, and he has always been known for being old and cunning, maybe his Li family has engaged in such a big battle, and it is really a big drama for my Tian family." Tian Yong said with thought he was smart.

Tian Fengxiao nodded in agreement, and echoed: "That's right, maybe it's such a play that I don't want to play in my Tian family." ”

While the three of them were discussing, a subordinate hurriedly came in outside the door, this person was the person sent by the Tian family to spy on Li Ke, and the three of them saw the return of the subordinate and asked eagerly: "How is the situation?" So was Li Ke really kicked out of the house? ”

I saw that the man was panting, and he hurriedly responded: "Master Qiqi, that Li Ke stayed in Xiuming Mansion for a night after being kicked out of Li's house yesterday, and left Jinyang City this morning under Xiuming's send-off, and went out of the city at the east gate, it seems that he did leave Jinyang." ”

When the three members of the Tian family heard this, they were all surprised: "Could it be that the Li family really expelled Li Ke from the house?" ”

Tian Feng smiled and was not happy, and said: "This kind of words are too cheap Li Ke, not to mention the divorce on the street, and also injured the waste of Jin Hu, I simply didn't take my Tian family in my eyes, I must make him pay the price." A plan for assassination and revenge began to be planned in Tianjiatang.

After planning everything, Tian Sanqian smiled sinisterly and said slowly: "Listening to what you two described yesterday, this Li Ke's martial arts cultivation is not low, in order to ensure that in case, my father invited the three heroes of the Tu clan from other places this time, and this time Li Ke will never leave easily." ”

"The Three Heroes of the Tu Clan! Is that the murderous gang wanted by the government? I heard that these three people are notorious villains in the rivers and lakes, with extremely high martial arts and ruthless methods, and they have never had living creatures under their hands. Tian Yong asked in surprise.

As soon as Tian Yong's voice fell, three big men were walking outside the door, although they all covered themselves tightly with black cloaks, only leaking out a pair of eyes, and one person walking in front hung a scimitar on his waist, holding the handle of the knife with one hand, and clenching his fist with the other, this person was the leader of the three heroes of the Tu clan Tu Invincible, wherever a scimitar went, blood flowed, and there was no life under the knife so far; Following behind, the left side is Tu Wufear, behind the cross pinned two short guns, the tips of the two short guns are cold, I heard that a person once held a double gun and arrested him more than 30 people to catch a big battle, and he fought more than 30 people either dead or disabled, he retreated with his whole body, and his spear skills are very good; On the right is the earth, as the name suggests, although an axe on his waist is rusty, but most of the people who fight with him are not hacked to death, but are stoned to death, and he always fights with people endlessly, so his axe looks badly damaged and rusty.

When Tian Sanqian saw someone coming, he immediately signaled Tian Fengxiao to retreat to the back hall and not be allowed to come out. Immediately greeted him, although he smiled, but he was still scared in his heart, after all, they were all extremely vicious people, and they were all devils who killed people without blinking. Tian Sanqian instructed his subordinates to present the gold and silver tickets promised in advance, and informed Li Ke of his whereabouts.

The three of them got the money, and they were about to go out the door, and they were going to intercept and kill Li Ke. At this time, Tian Yong stood up and motioned for the three of them to wait, and he told him that Tian Sanqian would go with the three of them, and he would see Li Ke suffer before he could relieve the hatred in his heart.

Tian Sanqian looked at Tian Yong's angry appearance, and then looked at the terrible appearance of the Tu clan Sanxiong, and couldn't help but feel a little worried, but under Tian Yong's repeated trouble, Tian Sanqian finally chose to compromise and walked towards the Tu clan Sanxiong: "Three heroes, then my son will ask the three to be safeguarded, and there will be another thank you when I return." ”

Tu Wushu looked at Tian Yong, and said to Tian Sanqian: "As long as you have money, you can say anything." ”

So Tian Yong and the three heroes of the Tu clan chased in the direction where Li Ke left, according to the plan of the three, to end up in the Xiangshui Forest Li Ke, Tian Yong followed behind the three, his heart couldn't help but be excited, his mind kept appearing Li Ke kneeling on the ground and wailing for mercy, from time to time the corners of his mouth showed an evil smile.

And Li Ke was wandering leisurely in Xiaohengshan at this time, and it would take some hours to reach Xiangshui Forest, and he didn't know that the Tian family had arranged for the killer to come to retaliate, and he looked like he was playing in the mountains and rivers. Li Ke was walking forward, when he suddenly met a dozen firewood people, and he stepped forward and asked, "Old man, what kind of mountain is this mountain?" ”

"Little Yokoyama".

"And what's so interesting about this mountain?" Li Ke continued to ask.

Seeing that Li Ke was so curious, the firewood collector simply unloaded the firewood on his back, and said to Li Ke: "This mountain is called Xiaoheng Mountain, named because of its shape, it is rumored that you can look back at the panoramic view of Jinyang City when you climb to the top of the mountain, but the road up the mountain is rugged and steep, basically no one has ever gone up, and the farmers who usually collect firewood also work at the foot of the mountain or in the relatively gentle place on the mountainside. However, I have heard that there is a stone wall on the top of this mountain, on which are engraved many poetic couplets of former literati travelers, but other than that, I have not heard of anything else. ”

Li Ke took the flask from the saddle, handed it to the wood-beater, and thanked him repeatedly. However, he made up his mind to climb to the top of the mountain to find out while it was still early, and after the old man returned the wine jug, Li Ke hurried to the depths.

After walking for a while, he could no longer ride his horse, so he found a hidden wood, left his horse here, and walked up the hill by himself, carrying only a flask.

Tu Sanxiong and Tian Yong also arrived at the Xiaohengshan Pass at this time, and also met the firewood collector just now, Tian Yong stepped forward and asked: "Collect firewood!" Have you ever seen a man and a horse pass by here? ”

When the old man saw the fierce expressions of the group, he knew that he was not a good person, so he hesitated to say nothing.

Seeing this, Tu Wuxiu pulled out the rusty axe on his waist and played with it in his hand, when suddenly there was a "click", and a waist-thick pine tree on the side of the road broke in response. Frightened, the firewood man fell to his knees with a thud, and hurriedly said: "There was a man who went to the mountain and asked me about the origin of this mountain. ”

When the four of them heard this, they didn't care about the firewood collector anymore, and ran straight to the mountain, and after some searching, they found Li Ke's horse in a secret bush at the foot of the mountain, but the four of them did not do anything, because it was a good thing for them to confirm that Li Ke was here.

Tu Wuxing said at this time: "Big brother, let's go quickly, first set up an ambush in the Xiangshui Forest in front, and wait quietly for that kid to send it to the door, and then we will give him an urn to catch turtles." ”

The three of them looked at each other and smiled. Tian Yong followed the three of them and galloped towards the Xiangshui Forest.

Li Ke was still on the way to climb the mountain at this time, and he didn't know that because he climbed the mountain here, he gave the Tian family and the Tu family the opportunity to carefully ambush. After some difficult climbing, Li Ke finally climbed to the top of the mountain, and looked at Jinyang City after a long sigh of relief, sure enough, from a distance, the entire Jinyang City was lying quietly in the mountains, like a naturally formed treasure basin, Li Ke looked at this kind Jinyang City, and couldn't help but feel a little more sad in his heart, after all, this is the place where he has lived for twenty-two years.

Li Ke didn't delay too much, and after feeling a little emotional, he thought of the stone wall that the old man said about firewood, so he looked for it on the top of the mountain.

An ancient pine shaped like a coiled dragon attracted Li Ke's attention, Li Ke walked over slowly, and found that the ancient pine was leaning on a slender boulder slab behind it, and there were indeed some deep and shallow carving signs on it.

Li Ke thought that he could also give a few free sentences, so he also wanted to leave his own poems here, after all, in Li Ke's mind, he was more arrogant than anyone else. So, Li Ke took out a dagger from his body and carved it on the stone slab in one go:

Thousands of miles of rivers and mountains,

The years have passed.

The vast floating sun,

There is still a lot of left.

Li Ke finished carving, and signed next to the poem - Hakka book, and then laughed, and recited the last two sentences aloud, as if resounding throughout the mountain. Li Ke looked back at Jinyang City behind him again, and then looked at the poems he had written, and was about to leave satisfied, and it didn't take long for Li Ke to go down the mountain and get on his horse, and drove away.

The three heroes of the Tu clan had already set up an ambush in the Xiangshui Forest and waited for a long time. Just as the four of them were impatient waiting in the Xiangshui Forest, a burst of singing and the sound of slow horses' hooves reached their ears, and they immediately cheered up.

The four of them listened carefully, and there was no doubt that it was Li Ke. At this time, Li Ke had not yet noticed the abnormality, and he was drinking while singing, and he was riding on horseback carelessly.

Enter the Xiangshui Forest, sure enough, the forest is as its name, the sound of flowing water is endless, this forest is divided into two pieces, separated by the Xiangshui River and come out of the small Hengshan to enter the Xiangshui Forest, you have to go upstream along the river until you see a wooden bridge, you can cross the Xiangshui River, cross the river and then travel four or five miles to Xiangshui Town.

Li Ke looked at the forest in front of him, the sound of flowing water, the trees were tall and straight, lush and dense, as if covering the sky, and it was difficult for the sparse sunlight to shine on the ground, which really had a sense of coldness. Li Ke Zhuma looked around curiously, and suddenly found that something was not normal, it is said that in such a large forest, there should always be some birds and beasts, but at this moment, there is no other movement except the sound of water.

Just as Li Ke was about to start the horse, four sharp wooden sticks attacked from all directions, pointing directly at Li Ke and flying away, but fortunately, Li Ke was agile, and flew off the horse in an instant to avoid the attack of the wooden stick. And when Li Ke looked around, there was nothing abnormal, Li Ke thought it was an Orion trap, but he raised a little spirit, did not dare to get on the horse again, turned around and led the horse to move carefully.

I didn't go out a few steps, only to hear the sound of "sigh", an axe flew out of the forest in front of it, this axe seems to have its own strong wind, where it passes, the leaves are made to make a brushing sound, the person who threw this axe is strong and strong, it seems that it cannot be underestimated. I saw that the axe flew rapidly towards the middle of the road in front of Li Ke, smashing the road into a pit the size of a millstone, and the blade of the axe was deeply rooted in the earth, not moving at all.

Li Ke thought back to the people who used axes on the rivers and lakes, and he had a little eyebrows in his heart, and just as he was about to surface the names of the three heroes of the Tu clan, sure enough, someone in the forest shouted, jumped out of the dense bushes, and landed next to the axe.

The man slowly faded off his black cloak, revealing a strong muscle, bowed down with a tiger's back, pulled up the axe on the ground, and looked at Li Ke viciously with his eyes, revealing a cold killing intent.

Li Ke was not surprised, and said, "What about the other two? Let's show up together, it's the notorious Tu clan Sanxiong on the rivers and lakes, there is no need to hide. ”

The shadows of the trees on both sides swayed, and two people walked out of the forest, these two people did not appear as dynamic as Tu Wuxiu, the two people also covered themselves with cloaks, only revealing a pair of fierce eyes, and slowly stepped forward to Tu Wuxiu's side, and also took off the cloak, revealing their true faces, only to see that at this time the three of them were all horizontal meat, the beard on their faces was messy, and there were a few faint scars, the three looked similar, but they could distinguish the identities of the three from the weapons, the scimitar was invincible, the two guns were fearless, the axe was endless, and the three heroes of the Tu clan were also.

Li Ke was surprised when he saw the three of them arrive: "I haven't had a grudge against the three of you, why are you blocking my way today?" ”

Tu Wushu is also refreshing: "My three brothers kill people, they never need a reason, as long as they have money, whoever gives money will work for whomever they want, since someone pays for you, you can't complain about me waiting." "Then he was about to come forward and ask for his life.

"Wait! Now that I am in your possession, I may as well die a more clear death, and can you tell who claimed my life? Li Ke seemed to be flustered, but he asked indifferently, because he had already thought that he had not offended anyone except the Tian family.

Tu Wuxing's face sank, he pulled out his two guns and flew up, and said in his mouth: "The one who is about to die, go to the underworld and ask the king of Hades." In a blink of an eye, he came to Li Ke, poked and stabbed wildly, thinking that Li Ke would definitely die under his own ghostly fire short gun, but he didn't think that he was dodged by Li Ke one by one.

Tu was not afraid of anger, got serious, no longer underestimated Li Ke in front of him, brewed a little, and was about to use his famous stunt "Phantom Fire Shadowless Gun", after this stunt was practiced that year, he killed countless masters of the rivers and lakes, and it was difficult for Li Ke to escape death. The earth invincible and earth Wuxiu on the side also thought that since the shadowless guns were used, they could just stand aside and watch the play.

Tu is not afraid of the two guns crossed in front of him to make a move, suddenly exert force under his feet, stabbing his body, the two guns in his hands quickly playing, as if on fire, the speed is so fast, you can't see the true shape at all, and every time you stab out, if there is nothing, you can't distinguish between the virtual and the real, and if you don't pay attention, you will have a few more holes in your body.

Li Ke didn't dare to be careless after dodging, and flew to draw his sword from his horse, fighting with Tu Wufear. With the long sword in his hand, Li Ke seemed to be a different person, his body and moves were extremely elegant, and the sword qi scattered in the fight broke the trunks on both sides, and Tu Wuwu knew that he was about to be unable to parry Li Ke's long sword, and hurriedly shouted: "Big brother, third brother, come and help me." And it was at this moment of distraction that Li Ke saw the opportunity, the sword was like a swimming dragon, stabbing between the two short spears, and the sword body penetrated Tu Wuxing's arm in an instant, if it wasn't for Tu Wuxing's fast dodge, this sword must have already passed through his chest.

Before the other two could react, Tu Wuxing fell to the ground with a scream, covering his arms and looking at Li Ke in front of him in horror, and Tu Wuxing also seemed to recognize that the swordsmanship used by Li Ke was the "Cloud Void Sword Technique", which was the stunt of the Qingniu Mountain Dust Suppression Daoist. And Tu Wuving and Tu Wuxiu also came back to their senses and flew in front of Tu Wuxing.

"Big brother and third brother be careful, the swordsmanship used by this kid is not simple, it is like the Yunxu swordsmanship that has been silent for many years, and it is extremely powerful." Tu is not afraid of urgent reminders.

"No matter what bullshit swordsmanship he is, it's shit in front of my absolute power." Tu Wuxiu said loudly.

The words fell, and the offensive began. Tu Wuxiu rolled up with an axe to attack and cut down the plate, Tu Wushu held a scimitar to attack the upper part, the two of them had a clear division of labor, and in an instant, smoke and dust were everywhere, and the sound of collisions between weapons echoed in the forest, Tu Wuxian saw that Li Ke did not fall behind at all under the attack of the two, and he was at ease, and he couldn't help but be shocked: "This time I really kicked the iron plate." ”

The invincible "Whirlwind Head Chopping Knife" and the endless "Barbarian God Soul Breaking Axe" are also terrifying existences in the rivers and lakes, but today they were resolved by Li Ke one by one, Tu Wu was afraid to see that the situation was not right, regardless of the injured arm, threw down a shot, and stepped forward to attack with another gun in one hand.

Li Ke saw that the three of them were together, and no longer kept his hands. Tu Wuxiu's axe was about to smash into Li Ke's chest, Li Ke jumped, and then fell rapidly, and used the trick to deal with the golden tiger, Tian Yong, who was hiding in the distance, could see it clearly, but this Tu Wuxiu was not the kind of crispy skin of the golden tiger, I saw Li Ke falling, and his toes just stood on top of the axe, this sense of oppression surprised Tu Wuxiu, and he didn't dare to unload the force, he knew that if he suddenly unloaded, this arm would be considered useless, so he just held Li Ke like this, unable to move.

Tu Wuving attacked with a knife, Li Ke stood on the axe to fight back, Tu Wuxing also attacked, between the lightning and flint, Li Ke swung a sword, the strong sword qi shook the short spear of Tu Wuxing, and then swung a sword, only to see Tu Wu's arm holding the gun fall down, and then fell to the ground and passed out. Tu Wushu was furious, and slashed it violently, but Li Ke grabbed the flaw, stepped on the axe lightly on the tip of his toes, jumped into the air, spun around the top of Tu Wuving's head, and the long sword stabbed straight down, stabbing into Tu Wuving's body from the back of the neck, and Tu Wuving died immediately.

Tu Wuxiu, who had just gasped, saw that the eldest brother was killed, and the second brother was abolished, and rushed towards Li Ke like crazy with an axe in his hand, only Li Ke in his eyes, and he had no defensive heart, Li Ke did not hesitate, and with a sword in his hand, the sword qi directly divided the ground into two pieces, and Tu Wuxiu was naturally too, and he didn't even have a chance to wail.

Tian Yong, who was hiding in the distance, saw this, as if he had seen a ghost, and made a movement without paying attention. Li Ke swung his sword at the voice, only to see the trunk of the tree that blocked Tian Yong sliding neatly, and Tian Yong walked out tremblingly, shouting for mercy.

Li Ke motioned for Tian Yong to come over, but Tian Yong dared not obey at this time, and walked up to Li Ke with his body twisted.

"Tian Yong, I knew that your Tian family wanted revenge, and it was up to you whether you wanted to live or die today." Li Ke spoke sharply at Tian Yong.

Tian Yong shook into a ball of pork belly, and replied in a trembling voice: "Brother Li Ke doesn't remember the villain, so he spared me this time, and I promise not to trouble the Li family again in the future." ”

"That being the case, today I will spare your life in the relationship between the Li Tian family for many years, but if you leak half a word about today's matter, he will definitely come to Tian's house to take your life when I return to Jinyang City one day, just like this stone." After Li Ke finished speaking, he swung his sword at a boulder, only to see that the boulder was instantly divided into two halves, and the incision was neat and smooth.

Seeing this, Tian Yong swore to agree, and asked: "Then how should I explain today's events to my father at home, my father is not good at prevaricating." ”

"You just said that it was too late, Li Ke had already slipped away without a trace, and the affairs of these three people were made up by yourself." Li Ke pretended to smile evilly. With that, he flew on his horse, put away his sword, and galloped away.

Tian Yong sat in place, stunned whether he didn't come to his senses, or whether Tu Wuxing woke up with the wailing sound after waking him up. Tian Yong watched Tu Wufear's hands crippled, and the other two died on the spot, and he couldn't help but be afraid.

"Tian Gongzi save me! Save me! Tu shouted in pain.

Tian Yong got up and walked over, squatted down and said to Tu Wufear, "I'll save you." He picked up a short gun on the ground and shot it fearlessly.

"As a result of you, this matter will not be leaked, and I can only live with peace of mind if you die." Tian Yong's eyes were vicious and said to Tu Wuxing, who had already lost his breath, and then took out the horse from the forest and returned to Jinyang City like a lost soul.
