Volume 1 The Ups and Downs of This Life Chapter 196 Murder in the Alley

After a brief moment of horror, the young man did not hesitate to let go of the short blade, his five fingers pierced out like a hook, and sneered: "Give me death!"

Li Xuandu's face was calm, and he blocked this claw with a folding fan in his hand, and at the same time, the short knife of the spiritual object that he pinched between the two fingers of his left hand shattered instantly.

The sword qi was like a landslide cracking into stones, and as the fragments of the short knife shot out in all directions, the young man was the first to bear the brunt.

At the moment of life and death, this master of Tianle Sect finally did not dare to have the idea of stealing life, and began to sacrifice his life to fight, allowing the fragments of sword qi to pierce into his body, his face was first bright red, and then extremely pale, and at the same time, a hand knife was cut out, bringing out a scarlet light, like a round of blood-red crescent moon, but it was somewhat similar to the "Cold Moon Saw" of the Lady Sect.

This is the broken hand that exchanged life for life.

A faint smile tugged at the corner of Li Xuandu's mouth, and between the lightning and flint, he stretched out his left hand to hold the young man's hand knife, which was undamaged, and then the folding fan in his right hand closed and lightly touched his heart.

Although for a swordsman, the gap between whether there is a three-foot Qingfeng in his hand is really big, it does not mean that he can only be slaughtered without a sword in his hand.

The sword qi entered the body and reached the heart.

The young man's pupils dilated suddenly, and there was no more blood on his face.

There was silence in the alley.

Li Xuandu withdrew the folding fan and slowly retreated backwards.

With a pop, the young man fell to his knees, then fell forward on the cold ground of the alley, his head tilted sideways, dead in sight.

It's not that this Tianle Sect master is too unhelpful, no matter what, he is also a master who has stepped into the innate realm, and he will be called a "little grandmaster" by others on the rivers and lakes, but it is a pity that he met Li Xuandu, who has returned to the innate realm to cultivate, it is a little insufficient.

Li Xuandu thought about it, reached into the young man's arms and groped for a while, and found a jade plaque indicating his identity, with the word "deacon" engraved on it, Li Xuandu put it into the "eighteenth floor", and then lightly jumped on the wall with a light tiptoe, and soon disappeared into the shadows.

A moment later, Li Xuandu turned out of another alley and returned to the brightly lit street.

This time, he didn't even use any of the swords in the "Qingjiao" and "Purple Phoenix", let alone the saber "Human World", just a folding fan that was not a spiritual object, and defeated a deacon of the Tianle Sect of the Innate Realm, which was already something that only ordinary True Realm grandmasters could do. Compared with Li Xuandu who has just returned to the rivers and lakes, today's Li Xuandu is incomprehensible. Of course, the current Li Xuandu is also very different from the Zifu Sword Immortal in his heyday, like the next heavenly moat.

Turning two streets, Li Xuandu found the hidden marks left by Hu Liang in the inconspicuous place on the side of the road, and knew it in his heart, so he turned to the northeast direction, and after passing another street, he saw Hu Liang and Chounuer standing side by side on the side of the road.

Li Xuandu looked around left and right, and found that this place was actually a place similar to a bazaar, very lively, in addition to all kinds of small stalls and vendors, there are many dazzling juggling, there are dragon and lion dances, there are tigers and leopards, there are swallowing swords and spitting fire, there are chest gravel, and there are eye-opening tricks, especially the tricks that can change the life of a big living person, so that the onlookers burst into bursts of applause.

At this time, all the magnates have begun to enter one after another, ready to participate in the next Oiran selection, but their entourage can not follow all of them, except for some henchmen and guards, others are scattered all over the "paradise", you can go to the girl, you can also play around, this place modeled after the bazaar, there are many similar guests, so it is particularly lively.

Hu Liang and Chou Nu'er chose to stay in this place, which shows that they used some thought.

Li Xuan didn't walk directly through the crowd towards the two of them, but followed the crowd with the crowd, and after making a big circle, he seemed to come to the two of them casually.

Hu Liang looked up at Li Xuandu: "Got it done?"

Li Xuandu took out the token representing the identity of the deacon of Tianle Sect from the "eighteenth floor" and threw it to the ugly slave: "With the ugly slave, who is familiar with the inside story, plus this token, it should be possible to blend in." ”

The ugly slave took the token, frowned, and said: "If you can get a deacon status in the Tianle Sect, at least it is also a cultivation of the innate realm, if you kill him, I am afraid that the movement will completely make a big noise." ”

Li Xuandu gently patted his palm with a closed folding fan, and said calmly: "If you don't make a big noise, you won't be able to lead to a drunken spring wind, and if you can't get a drunken spring breeze, you won't be able to save your sister." Since you said that your senior sister can be trusted, you can go to her later and ask her to take you to save your sister, and as for me, you don't have to worry. ”

The ugly slave was still about to speak, Hu Liang had already spoken: "Don't worry about Lao Li, back then, he was one person and one sword across the Jiangbei, and he didn't know how many dangerous situations he had encountered than the 'Tianle Taoyuan', and even the Dazhen Mansion of the Zhengyi Sect had gone through a while, and some time ago, he had a fight with the Tibetan old man of the Soap Pavilion Sect, and destroyed his two corpses, and this battle was not difficult for him." ”

The ugly slave was stunned for a moment, and then when he looked at Li Xuandu, he couldn't hide the shock on his face, "You...... Are you the Purple Mansion Sword Immortal?"

Li Xuan didn't admit or deny it, and asked rhetorically: "Am I the Purple Mansion Sword Immortal, is it related to what we are going to do today?"

"Of course it is. The ugly slave smiled bitterly: "If you are really the Purple Mansion Sword Immortal, then I don't have to worry about you, the dignified Purple Mansion Sword Immortal, ranked tenth on the Taixuan List, a small 'Heavenly Paradise', how can it be put in the eyes?"

Li Xuandu shook his head lightly: "The Purple Mansion Sword Immortal has passed through the ages, and now there is only Li Xuandu, let me reintroduce it, my surname is Li, my double name is Xuandu, and the word Zifu is on the table." ”

The ugly slave's face showed a hint of abruptness, "It turns out that it is really the Purple Mansion Sword Immortal." ”

Li Xuandu re-unfolded the folding fan in his hand and fanned a gust of breeze, "Okay, do what you have to do, and leave the rest to me. ”

Hu Liang didn't hesitate and said with a smile: "Then we won't drag you down." ”

Li Xuandu waved the folding fan in his hand and turned around and left alone.

Entering the crowd, the people you see are all brocade silk clothes, not to mention the "Great Wei Huidian" personally issued by Emperor Taizu in the eyes, what people are not allowed to wear silk and satin, are all farts, in such a high place as the emperor is far away, he can wear whatever he wants, even if he puts on a python robe, no one cares, I heard that some women in the courtyard also learn the phoenix crown and xia curtain of the imperial court's wife, or learn the dress of the six doors female head catcher, because some guests love this mouth, it is really a good business.

In the face of real money business, the rules that were previously regarded as iron laws have become a dead letter, in the final analysis, it is still the loss of the prestige of the imperial court, and it is no wonder that in the unfavorable situation of the war in the northwest, there is a "three brave" saying that ridicules the officials and soldiers of the imperial court. The officials and the army are already like this, how much better can the government be? At present, the imperial court is really a country that does not command the country.

These things, the imperial court is not unaware, Emperor Wude has realized that the Great Wei Dynasty will not be rectified, and the country will die one day, so the four ministers will be used to reform the rule of officials, the military, and the clan, from the sixth year of Wude to the first year of Tianbao, it has achieved initial results, but unfortunately after the second year of Tianbao, with Zhang Suqing, Qin Xiang and others or died or degraded, people died and died, everything changed back to the old way, even worse than before.

This is also the reason why Li Xuandu hated the Empress Dowager Xie deeply, exchanging the country's power for power, ignoring the overall situation because of his own selfishness, and winning the hearts of all the people in the world with the heart of one person, which can be described as a sinner of the country.

Thinking of this, Li Xuan couldn't help but think of a sentence that Zhang Suqing often recited before his death: "If you prosper with this, you will die with this." "Back then, the four ministers were prosperous because of the reuse of Emperor Wude, and naturally died with the death of Emperor Wude, and now the Empress Dowager Xie is not?
