Chapter VII: Assassination I

Half a year is not long or short, it is not enough for a child to grow into a martial arts master, nor will it polish a small official into an important minister of the court, but it is enough to make a newlywed woman's lower abdomen slightly raised, and it can also make an elderly Confucian return to dust and earth.

Li Wenyuan, who has not stepped out of the courtyard for half a year at home, pushed open the door of his own hall and called a maid to comb it up.

Li Wenyuan, who has never worn a sword for half a year, has not wasted half a year, whether it is listening to the wind and rain in his own courtyard, or reading the books of the sages, while allowing himself to meditate and not miss the noodles too much, he is also making his state of mind more pure and transparent. Although he has not practiced for half a year, Li Wenyuan at this time knows that he at this time has left his self half a year ago far behind on the road of cultivation.

Li Wenyuan, who went to the Su family with the family car, looked calm, sat leisurely in the carriage, knocked on the door with his fingers from time to time, and a young and beautiful maid opened the curtain and sent a pot of wine into the car. Li Wenyuan, who was sitting in the car, took the wine and drank it with his father, and the two of them just drank their own wine without saying more. As the wine jug in the corner of the car accumulated, Li Wenyuan put down the empty wine jug in his hand, looked at the person sitting in the middle of the car and said softly, "Father." The head of the Li family, who had been drinking in the car and had never said a word, looked at his most proud son, and the temperament that was once incompatible with the world gradually dissipated, if the former Li Wenyuan was like a lonely stone on the top of the peak, so that people could only watch from a distance but could not get close, then the current Li Wenyuan is more like a pebble washed by the stream in the stream for many years, and whoever holds it in his hand will not help but love it. One is far away and one is near, and the judgment is made. "It seems that you have gained a lot in the past six months, and in the past, my father would have worried that your arrogant heart would make you take a detour on the way of the sword, and you will become a sword with a sword. Although you have put all your heart and soul into the way of the sword, just like a mountaineer, although you have been climbing the mountain all the way, although you have a clear goal and go straight to your heart, you have also lost the opportunity to stop and rest and watch the scenery along the way. Now on the way to the mountain, there are beautiful scenery for you to stop and enjoy, and there are beautiful women who can be invited to climb the mountain together. The purpose of climbing the mountain has never been forgotten in your heart, but when you reach the top of the mountain, when you look down the mountain, you will find how many beautiful scenery you have not missed along the way, so it is the best, the best. It must be known that although my Li family is a sword sect and has entered the Tao with a sword, it is also a love into the Tao, the ancestors have practiced for many years, and they have never forgotten their brotherhood when they are old. The ruthless domineering sword, my Li family, has always been abandoned. "That's what my father taught. Li Wenyuan, who was sitting upright, seemed to feel a little tired, and rubbed his body to find a more comfortable position, "I always couldn't calm down before, whenever I lifted the sword, I always felt that Mianyue was beside the child and looked at the child, it was her who opened her eyes, and she was her when she closed her eyes." In the past six months, the child put down the sword in his hand and read the books written by the ancestors in the family, which once said: There are many men and women in the world who go against their hearts. How many heroes have achieved fame, but after looking back on the past, they found that they lived up to the world but lost her in this life, and when they were old, they knew that they were deep and remorseful. Children can't learn from them, and the sleeping moon is the end, not the catastrophe. In this life, I just want to live up to it. ”

If the previous Li Wenyuan was called 'the body is like an arrogant pine, and the heart is thundery', then Li Wenyuan, whose mood has improved by leaps and bounds, can be 'the pearl and jade on the side, and I feel that I am filthy'. Men in the world can't be replaced by hatred, and women in the world are all willing to be husbands like kings.

.........................................................................................

The Li family and his party were on the silent official road, except for the 'squeak, squeak' sound of the carriage and the occasional snort of the horses. The experienced groom held the reins and commanded the horses on the road to the Su family, and the family warriors who had been trained by the Li family since childhood all carried swords and rode on horses. The land of the Southern Tang Dynasty is fertile, the monarch is clear, there are bandits running around at the beginning of the country, except for a few naturally cold and bloodthirsty bandits, the rest are all poor people who are desperate to start a business without a way out in the war, and now the country is peaceful and peaceful, as long as the ordinary people can eat a full stomach and have warm new clothes to wear, who would be willing to be a bandit who licks the blood from the knife edge, and this is located in the place where the two families of Li and Su meet, the businessmen in the past may not say which one is to do things for the two families, and it is just to grab some ordinary businessmen, if you provoke the two, there will be no place to live in the Southern Tang Dynasty。 Therefore, the Li family's samurai carrying swords and riding horses is just a family honor guard, and no one who has lost his heart will fall into the grass here.

'Whoosh. A crossbow arrow pierced the neck of a warrior of the Li family, and the force was so great that it flew out after piercing a warrior. The frightened ownerless horse raised its front hooves and screamed. The Li family is worthy of being the Southern Tang Dynasty, the family warrior turned around after a short period of distraction, took off the negative sword and surrounded the carriage in the center of the official road, even if he knew that the father and son in the car were both masters of the current kendo in the world, but the master humiliated the servant to death, no matter what force was in the eyes of the family warriors, since he dared to openly shoot the Li family warriors in front of the Li family father and son here, this shame could only be washed away with blood, either the enemy who had never shown up, or his own family.

"What's going on out there?" The warm voice came from inside the car, without a hint of arrogance, nor like the tone of a ruthless superior to the inquiries of his subordinates. Now Li Wenyuan, who is more like a reader, is asking what is happening outside. "Young master, out of nowhere, some little thieves who don't have long eyes have wandered around, probably treating us as fat lambs, and want to make a fortune on us. The warrior of the Li family, who was closest to the carriage, replied respectfully to Li Wenyuan, and the leader of the warriors of the Li family, who had been expressionless, asked the head of the Li family in the carriage for his life, hoping to let the warriors of the family come forward to suppress the bandits. "That's right. The majestic voice of the head of the Li family came out of the car, without a trace of kindness when talking to Li Wenyuan, and his voice was like a golden stone without a trace of emotion, "Don't put a good household registration, I want to go to the mountains to be a 'soil overlord', since I have given up the idea of being a good citizen and made a 'broken fortune', it is just that the Li family can't meet it at ordinary times, and since it is encountered, it will be wiped out, and it is also a good thing for the country and the people." ”

The leader of the samurai who received the order retreated, and gestured to several of his lieutenants, indicating that the head of the family had agreed to attack the enemy. Several deputies smiled, "It's rare that someone who doesn't have long eyes dares to come to us, and they all let go of my hands and feet, and wait for the night when I will kill the most enemies, where to get a pot of good wine." The warriors of the Li family burst into laughter, and several anxious people had already ridden their horses and ran towards the woods outside the official road, eager to kill this group of 'hairy thieves' who did not know the height of the sky.

After killing the Li family with just one arrow, there was no sound in the woods for a while, and no one jumped out to make a windfall. The old trees beside the official road have not been pruned for many years, and they have long been shaded by the sky, and the secluded woods are like a python quietly waiting to devour its prey, opening its huge mouth, waiting for the prey to come to the door.
