Volume 1 The Ups and Downs of This Life Chapter 197 The Phoenix Crown

Just when Li Xuandu's thoughts were scattered, there was really a woman with a phoenix crown like the lady of the imperial court, seeing that this woman was not very old, she was in her early twenties, with a graceful figure, a little light makeup, a variety of gold and jade jewelry on her hair bun, and her face was full of spring, because she wore a three-inch-high heavy platform shoes on her feet, not only did she look tall, but also walked between her waists and limbs, and her hips swayed, like the wind swinging lotus leaves.

The appearance of such a woman in this place naturally attracted many anxious men to flock to it, not to mention a kiss to Fangze, but also to take advantage of it, in the "Heavenly Paradise", everyone took off their disguises, what sage set the etiquette, what moral rules, are like the laws of the imperial court, turned into a piece of waste paper that wipes the buttocks and panics.

However, this woman has some skills, her body is like a slippery swimming fish, moving forward smartly in the crowd, and many disciples feel that they are about to touch the woman, or when they think they can hug the little lady into their arms, they are all evaded by the woman lightly.

Li Xuandu glanced at it, he didn't have the slightest intention of wanting heroes to save beauty, in "Heavenly Paradise", no woman is simple, no matter how simple a woman is, after entering this dye vat, she is not simple, since she dares to dress so fancy and appear here without an entourage, then she must have something to rely on.

It's just that to Li Xuandu's surprise, this woman walked straight towards Li Xuandu.

Today's Li Xuandu has changed into a short dress of a Jianghu person, stepping on cloud shoes, wearing a Confucian robe, holding a folding fan, because it is gradually entering late autumn, and a Xuan-colored crane has been added outside, no matter how you look at it, it does not look like a reckless character on the rivers and lakes, but like a son from a family.

The so-called crane is indeed a cloak woven from crane feathers, also known as a feather coat, but in the previous dynasties, after being loved by scholars, it is no longer a cloak, but gradually evolved into a straight-necked blouse with large sleeves and slits on both sides. This kind of clothing is not common in ordinary people's homes, but it is a must-have clothing in rich and noble homes.

Li Xuandu didn't like to wear this kind of clothes in his early years, but after getting acquainted with Zhang Baigui and Zhang Baiyue's brothers and sisters, he inevitably had to go in and out of some places that were not rich or expensive.

Seeing the woman walking towards Li Xuandu, the surrounding disciples suddenly stopped taking advantage of the woman, because there is a very straightforward rule in "Tianle Taoyuan": the dry food of the owner cannot be touched. Because most of the people who can come to the "Tianle Taoyuan" to have fun are either rich or expensive, if they are jealous because of women, it is easy to make trouble, so Tianle Sect has set this rule a long time ago, unless it is a combed good fan, the rest of the women, no matter what their status, must pay attention to a first come, first come, and later people are not allowed to move. This rule has been passed down for many years, and it is also a rule recognized by all visitors, even if someone dares to violate it, it must be a person of the level of the old man in Tibet, and these small fish and shrimp around him dare not do so.

Li Xuandu saw that after the woman approached, his figure leaned forward slightly, and he stepped out a series of thin and dense small broken steps on the high heavy platform, as if he wanted to pounce into his arms, so he took a step back without a trace, so that the woman just pounced.

The woman stumbled and almost fell to the ground, but after standing firmly, her eyes were resentful, as if she was complaining about Li Xuandu's incomprehensible style, charming and natural.

But under this charm, there is a hidden murderous intention.

Li Xuandu could see clearly that in the process of approaching him, the woman seemed to dodge the claws of Lushan stretched out from all directions, but in fact, she used her body to cover her movements, hiding a dagger in her big sleeve, if it was not his expectation, the woman was about to pounce into his arms, if he didn't dodge, the next thing was a dagger that secretly stabbed him in the heart. If Li Xuan was stabbed to death by this knife, he would be immediately held by the woman, and then quickly leave this place, in the eyes of the people around him, he had a lot of Yanfu, but he didn't know that there was a knife on the head of the color word, and some beauties were thorny, and the women of the Lady Sect had already given the best interpretation.

After Li Xuandu dodged, his face was calm, as an old Jianghu, he had seen too many similar tricks, which seemed to be impossible to prevent, but in fact, they were all traceable. To use the simplest analogy: when you pass through the woods, why do birds hover? Walking in the wilderness on a summer night, why don't you hear half a sound of insects? It means that there are people lurking around. Then there are the expressions and movements of the people around you, and you can also see some clues, as for the others, it is the murderous aura of the mysterious and mysterious, I don't know how many life-and-death battles it takes to get a sentence of "murderous" that the golden wind has not moved before the cicada, because of this, the necessary lesson of many top killer assassins is to learn to hide their own murderous aura.

The reason why this woman can be seen through by Li Xuandu is not because of murderous aura or anything, but because her intentions are too obvious, and she walked straight towards Li Xuandu, how can you make Li Xuandu not suspicious? Maybe she thinks that this is a "paradise", all men will be immersed in the ambiguous atmosphere that is about to move, and in the face of women, especially beautiful women, they will relax their guard, but unfortunately, Li Xuandu is an exception.

According to the logic, assassin killers must pay attention to "one hit misses, thousands of miles away", after the shot, no matter whether it is success or failure, they must leave immediately, but after this woman was recognized by Li Xuandu, she was still unwilling, stepped on the heavy stage and took a step forward, and said in a greasy voice: "I don't know where the son comes from?"

Li Xuandu replied: "From where you came." ”

The woman asked, "Where are you going?"

Li Xuandu said: "Go where to go." ”

The woman covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Look at the son like a scholar, I didn't expect it to be a monk, if you want to fight, why come to our 'Tianle Taoyuan'? Wouldn't it be better to go directly to the cave temple in Longmen Mansion?"

Li Xuan didn't speak, just looked at the woman.

The woman was shocked, but she still didn't retreat.

Tianle Sect's reaction was far beyond Li Xuandu's expectations, less than a stick of incense was killed by the young male deacon, Tianle Sect had already sent a second wave of killers, intending to deal with Li Xuandu's trouble, and because today was the day of the selection of the Oiran, he was unwilling to mobilize the public, so unlike the first time, this time it was the woman who was responsible for the assassination.

There is a strict hierarchy in the Tianle Sect, the top is the sect master, followed by the deputy sect master, then the archsteward, then the three archdeacons and the six deacons, and she is one of the six deacons, and now that an archdeacon is old and wants to retire, she is expected to become an archdeacon.

The premise is that she can take down the uninvited villain in front of her.

So she was bound to win, even at the risk of risk.

At this moment, Li Xuandu suddenly asked, "I don't know where the girl came from and where is she going?"

The woman was stunned for a moment, didn't react, and subconsciously replied: "The slave family has grown up in this 'Heavenly Paradise' since childhood, how can there be any ...... come and go"

"You have. Li Xuandu stepped forward, his face was close, and he said softly: "Let me tell you, it came from the mother's womb and went to the grave." ”

The woman's face changed suddenly, and she was about to retreat.

It's a pity that it's too late.

Li Xuandu reached out and grabbed her wrist, and with a slight pull, he took her into his arms. The woman was frightened, and the dagger that had been hidden in the big sleeve finally stabbed out, trying to pierce Li Xuandu's heart, but before the dagger touched Li Xuandu, Li Xuandu had already closed the folding fan in his hand, and then moved forward a little more, directly piercing the woman's heart and lungs with sword qi.

In an instant, the woman's body went limp, and then she was hugged by Li Xuandu, and at the same time caught the dagger that the woman dropped from her hand, her head just lay on Li Xuandu's shoulder, and her face was buried in her arms, like a long-lost reunion of lovers embracing.

When the surrounding disciples saw this scene, they immediately sighed, and they just thought that it was a pair of old friends who met again, and they couldn't touch the Lord's dry food, so they left one after another.

After a while, Li Xuandu also "embraced" the woman and left the place unhurriedly.
