Volume 1 A Hundred Years of Luck in the Rivers and Lakes Chapter 113 The Death of Li Botao
There was a rustling sound in the martial arts field, which was the sound of Li Botao bandaging his wounds.
Boss Li looked at Li Botao, who tied the bandage in the last knot, smiled embarrassedly, and said, "Oops, I almost forgot about this Lord Li." ”
There was no irony in his words, after all, with his Six Forging realm, how could he call a martial artist who had been temporarily promoted to Six Forging with medicine an adult?
The martial artists sensed each other, Li Botao had already felt the pressure brought to him by the other party from the majestic blood qi exuded by the other party, and this person's strength was much stronger than when he was at his peak.
Li Botao, who had already breathed a little and recovered a lot of his physical strength and true qi, looked at the other party vigilantly and asked, "Your Excellency is also here for Meng Li, since this is the case, we are friends!"
Li Botao, who felt the pressure, chose to take the initiative to show favor, but the other party only stretched out one finger and shook it.
"No, you are not our friend, because the dead have no right to be friends. ”
Boss Li, who shook his finger lightly, smiled coldly, turned his head in Li Botao's shocked eyes, and said calmly to Liang Yin, who was standing aside holding a sword in both hands: "Solve him, don't give him a chance to recover." ”
The good reason for standing aside and holding a sword in both hands is like a sword in itself, a sword that cannot hide its edge and is waiting to be unsheathed at any time.
As soon as Li Botao's words fell, Liangyin's sword had already struck, and a sword flew to stab Li Botao, without the slightest hesitation.
Li Botao, who originally wanted to make peace with the other party, where could he have imagined that the other party would actually kill the killer when he showed goodwill, and immediately resisted, but it was a pity that he was now seriously injured, and he was really angry, and he only fought a few moves, and he was cut under the sword by the good cause who was forging a low one.
Before he died, his eyes widened angrily, and his hideous face revealed a touch of unwillingness.
It's no wonder that the dignified six-forging martial artist is now so aggrieved that when he reaches the underworld, he can't turn a blind eye even if he is afraid.
Liang Yin shook off the blood beads, put the long sword into the sheath, and scolded garbage at the end.
"Master!"
Outside the martial arts arena, Meng Xi, who saw Li Botao being beheaded by the sword, screamed in pain, clenched the sword in his hand, and wanted to step forward to avenge Li Botao. It's just that before Meng Xi rushed out, he was pulled by the old village chief on the side.
The power that erupted under the anger of the four forging martial artists failed to break free!
Meng Xi looked at the old man sadly and angrily, and heard the latter say softly: "Don't be impulsive, you are not their opponent yet, don't disregard your life because of impulsiveness." ”
Under the old man's persuasion, Meng Xi calmed down.
See the situation clearly and wait for the opportunity to act.
Not only did his grandfather tell him this truth, but his dead master also told him more than once.
I have to say that Li Botao is really good to Meng Xi.
may also be the reason why Li Botao has no heirs, after recognizing Meng Xi, a promising apprentice, he has been carefully cultivating and doing his best, even his own flesh and blood.
"Murder!"
There was an uproar around the martial arts field, and some people even weakened their legs and sat down on the ground.
The ordinary people, who were accustomed to living an ordinary life, had never seen such a bloody scene, and most of them couldn't suppress the fear in their hearts and ran towards their houses. It was originally a crowded martial arts field, but it became empty in an instant, and there were no more than twenty people who did not leave.
For the crowd to disperse, Boss Li did not stop it, but looked around and looked at the twenty people who had not left.
The crowd around was all shocked, but there was only one old man, who was calm. Boss Li finally fixed his gaze on the old man and asked, "You are the village chief of Mengjia Village?"
Boss Li looked at the old village chief and was impressed by the old man's calm bearing.
The old village chief nodded and said, "Your Excellency came to my village and killed people without saying a word, this kind of behavior is inevitably a little inappropriate!"
Boss Li shrugged his shoulders and asked with a smile, "What's inappropriate?"
The old village chief's eyes were cold, and he said in a deep voice: "The law of the Southern Tang Dynasty, killing people pays for life." ”
"Hahaha, what a murder pays for life. Boss Li looked up to the sky and laughed, reached into his arms, and took out a token engraved with the word "Wu". He picked the token with his five fingers and aimed the face of the engraved word "Wu" at the old man.
"What do you think this is?"
has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and he is already a well-informed old village chief, how can he not recognize the military order?
After seeing the token, he sighed secretly and said, "It seems that Li Botao died in vain." ”
Li Laodao: "I am a martial artist awarded by the imperial court, and I fought with Li Botao, this is a battle between warriors, how can I kill people to pay for my life!"
The laws of the Southern Tang Dynasty stipulate that the fight of warriors is a battle between the rivers and lakes, and both sides have their own destiny, even if they kill someone, no one will care.
The other party took out a military order, exempting the Southern Tang warrior from the crime of murder with the rights of the Southern Tang Dynasty warriors, which made the old village chief quite helpless.
None of them have a military order here, and Li Botao's life is lost in vain today.
In order to obtain the Chuan Wu Order, one must participate in the Imperial Court's Chuan Wu Examination, which is only held in large cities, usually twice a year.
The old village chief roamed the rivers and lakes in his early years, and there was no talk of martial arts at that time, and after he retired, the martial arts order gradually rose.
The old man naturally didn't remember the past anymore, in fact, after he saw the other party take out the military order, he still had a trace of happiness in his heart......
There are many people in this world, and after gaining strength, they regard human life as a mustard, and extremely serious tragedies such as Tucun have not happened over the years.
In this way, how to control the rapidly growing desire in the hearts of martial artists has become the top priority since the transmission of martial arts.
Keeping the power in a cage is the sentence that Emperor Zhiwen has emphasized the most at the court meeting since the determination of the martial arts.
In the past ten years, the imperial court has revised the law several times, especially the law involving the warriors, each time in great detail, and after careful consideration, it will be left behind.
Li Botao came to Mengjia Village for two years and carefully taught Meng Xi and others martial arts, if the old village chief was not grateful at all, it was impossible. But compared to the hundreds of lives in Mengjia Village, it is nothing.
As the head of Mengjia Village, the first thing that the old village chief thought of was how to ensure the safety of the villagers.
Since the other party was able to take out the military order to exonerate himself, at least it shows that he is not a thug who disregards life.
Thinking that Mengjia Village would not be implicated, the old village chief breathed a sigh of relief.
But before he could put down his heart, he saw Boss Li suddenly throw the token aside, and said disdainfully: "It's just a joke, just a human life, Li hasn't taken it into his eyes yet, besides, if you limit yourself to the rules and regulations of the Southern Tang Dynasty, life will be too boring." As he spoke, he snapped his fingers, "Let me count how many people I have killed in my life." One, two...... Hehe, I can't even count myself, there are always hundreds! Which of these people has made me use this martial arts order? It can't be used, after all, many of these people are ordinary people who have never practiced martial arts. ”
The old village chief's eyes widened, and he looked at Boss Li, who was standing opposite with disdain, with a shocked expression. At this moment, he was really shocked by the words of this madman.
Not only was the old village chief shocked by this astonishing remark, but even the good cause of Boss Li and his party, when he looked at Boss Li, his eyes became very afraid, and he who had been in contact with Boss Li for a long time naturally knew everything about the latter's tyrannical nature, and he usually seemed to be fine, and even gave people a sense of politeness, but once he was angry, he would become another person.
Seeing that the old village chief just widened his eyes and didn't speak, Boss Li laughed and said: "Mr. Old Village, don't be nervous, I'm different from those bloodthirsty thugs, as long as you can satisfy me, I'm still a good talker." ”
The old village chief's eyelids jumped, and he said with a smile: "How do you want to be satisfied?"
Boss Li glanced at Meng Li, who was sitting on the ground with his eyes closed, and after confirming that the latter was not abnormal, he stretched out his tongue and licked it lightly on his slightly chapped lips, and said, "I came this time for two purposes, in addition to taking Meng Li, I also want to take out the treasures in your Meng family's ancestral ancestral temple. ”
Meng Xi, who was young and vigorous and didn't know how to forbear, suddenly changed his face after hearing the word "treasure", and blurted out: "How do you know that there is a treasure hidden in my Meng family's ancestral ancestral hall?"
"Naturally, the people from your Mengjia Village told me personally. Boss Li laughed, pulled the obese Meng Qian, patted the latter's broad shoulder, and encouraged: "Come, don't be afraid, say what you told me at that time, and say it again." ”
Under Meng Xi's fiery gaze, Meng Qian puffed up his chest and said loudly: "The treasure of Mengjia Village is in the ancestral hall. ”
His words were like a hammer to the hearts of everyone.
"Why, why say it. ”
Meng Xi was extremely stunned, and then seemed to return to reality from a dream, and the young man, who finally understood what was happening, suddenly roared, pointed at Meng Qian and said, "Damn, why do you want to betray the village!"
Meng Xi's eyes were bloodshot, his face was distorted with anger, he would never have thought that his relatives, who had grown up together, would do something to betray the village.
The treasure has always been the biggest secret in the village, and they know that once this secret is leaked, Mengjia Village may lead to death.
