Chapter 23: Old grievances, the first signs of it

Hearing the news from the disciples outside the door that Yan Wuqi and the three of them had arrived, Zhu Moqi straightened his posture and sat in the main hall.

Qi Luyao hurriedly asked after asking for peace: "Uncle Ji, why don't you see my brother?" Ji Benchu's eyebrows were gentle, showing the demeanor of an elder, and said with a smile: "I came to you just to talk about this, I originally came back with your brother, and when I went to Huayin County, Qi Lang suddenly said that there was something important to deal with, and I couldn't come to pick you up in person, so I arranged for someone to send you over to meet him." ”

Qi Luyao tugged at the corners of his skirt and let out a faint "oh".

"I wanted Tianzong to send you, but I was afraid that he would be reckless and misguided, so I was careful indefinitely, so let them send you to see your brother together, okay?"

"Hehe, thank you, uncle. As soon as Lu Yao heard that Yan Wuzhi could send him, he immediately smiled, and his smart and lovely appearance was very similar to Qi Wanyan back then.

"Go, go, go. Ji Benchu waved his hand.

Then again, Qi Jinyu has something important to deal with, and it is inconvenient to go up the mountain, he is clearly still angry, because of the killing of Wang Ji, he does not want to have any contact with the Yijian Sect again.

"Ahem! I knew it was such a chore, I should have pretended to be sick and couldn't get up, who rarely sent you crazy girl. As soon as he went out, Yan Tianzong lamented with self-pity.

"Three monkeys! Say it again, see that I don't tear your mouth apart!" the two ran away in a fight.

"Originally, wouldn't it be nice for me to practice swords with my senior sister with this time. Tianzong turned around and grimaced at her as he ran.

Huayin County is at the foot of Huashan Mountain, and the three of them entered the city before noon, and found the inn where everyone lived in Vientiane Gate according to the address given by Ji Benchu. As soon as he entered the door, Qi Luyao pounced and stuck to his brother, wrapped his hands around Qi Jinyu, buried his face in his waist, and was reluctant to let go for a long time.

Children are like this, they may not be emotional when they are separated, they may not be emotional when their relatives are not around, but they are most prone to emotional waves when they are reunited.

Qi Jinyu saw her sister, changed her gloomy face a few days ago, looked handsome, and her beautiful eyes were looking forward to it, and patted her gently: "Okay, okay, so many people are watching, don't rub your snot on my clothes again." Qi Luyao stretched out his little fist and hammered his brother, snorted secretly, and stood behind him.

"Youlao's two junior brothers also deliberately made a trip to send my sister to me, and the foolish brother was grateful. Qi Jinyu clasped his fists with both hands and thanked the two of them. "I had lunch prepared, and I asked the two brothers to give me a chance to express my gratitude. ”

Yan Wuji saw that he was gracious, and it was not easy to refuse, so he and Tianzong glanced at each other and nodded.

While several people were eating, Qi Luyao whispered to Qi Jinyu: "Brother, a few days ago on the mountain, Senior Brother Wuji and the Three Monkeys...and Senior Brother Tianzong saved my life. ”

Qi Jinyu almost choked on herself with a mouthful of food, her face was full of doubts, and she was surprised: "What!?" Immediately after that, Lu Yao roughly told his brother what happened on Luoyan Peak that day, Yan Wuji and the leopard fought for their lives.

"I said Senior Sister Lu Yao, why didn't you tell Senior Brother Jinyu who carried you back. "Tianzong interrupted and made fun of her.

After a long time, Qi Jinyu eased his expression, and said to Wuji: "Listening to the little sister's mouth, it is already so dangerous, presumably the situation is even more critical at that time, right?" Yan Wuqi did not speak, and nodded lightly.

"Whew! Fortunately, I came over safely, fortunately!" Qi Jinyu pondered for a while, untied the gold-inlaid jade sword on his waist, placed it on the table, and said: "This sword is called 'Rebirth', it was given by the master when the crown was tied, the foolish brother wanders all over the world all the year round, and there is no valuable, please accept it, of course, the life-saving grace is by no means repayable overnight, I owe you a great favor." ”

Yan Wuqi was just about to open his mouth to refuse, Qi Jinyu took out a folding fan from his arms again, and said to Tianzhong: "Brother Yan was born in a sword-casting family, and he is used to seeing all kinds of magic weapons, Qi Mou didn't dare to get an axe, this fan is also an interesting thing, so he gave it to Brother Yu!"

"No, no, no, Brother Qi's things, I can't ask for anything, since the day of apprenticeship, the master has warned us about the principle of 'sacrificing life for righteousness', don't say that Senior Sister Lu Yao is her own family, even ordinary passers-by are in danger, and we will sacrifice our lives to save each other." Yan Wuzhi said righteously.

"That is, if I accept my brother's reward, the master will have to kill me when I go back. Yan Tianzong muttered vaguely while chewing the food in his mouth.

Qi Jinyu was about to argue, Yan Tianzong put down the chopsticks in his hand, and said: "Besides, Senior Sister Lu Yao is a guest of our One Sword Sect, and it is our duty to protect her safety.

Qi Jinyu laughed: "That... Well, I'm not embarrassed for you, but you don't embarrass me too much. As he spoke, he untied a string of sword spikes from the head of the sword, and the bottom of the red rope was decorated with half a piece of crystal clear water clairycest, and a tiger was engraved on the jade, and then he concocted it in the same way, and a red rope was also untied from the bottom of the fan handle, which was also decorated with half a piece of water clairyper, and this half of the jade was engraved with a dragon.

"This is what I got by chance, together it is a complete jade pendant, the foolish brother has been enlightened for a long time, I don't know what is strange in it, but it is not a valuable thing, and it should be kept as a souvenir. ”

The two of them were fledglings, and they didn't recognize what these two pieces of water clarezite were, so they just accepted them as ordinary jade.

After three rounds of tea, five flavors of dishes, everyone has a meal, and it is time to separate. Qi Jinyu's brother and sister sent Yan Wuqi and the two of them to the door to get on the horse.

"Three monkeys, you must come to Donglai to see me when you are free, you haven't eaten sea cucumbers and clams yet. Qi Luyao said goodbye to Yan Tianzong, and then glanced at Wuji again, but he couldn't say anything when the words came to his mouth, just waved his hand lightly.

"The green mountains don't change the green water, Senior Brother Qi, we will have a period in the future!"

Qi Luyao's tears came down with tears, and he muttered in his mouth: "Indefinite...... You take care. ”

"I said sister, if you really like this kid of the Yan family, it's easy to ......" Qi Jinyu was glared back by her sister before she finished speaking, Qi Luyao "hummed" and went back to the house.

No matter how witty and smart Qi Jinyu is, the girl's mind will never be able to see through, he only thinks that Qi Luyao likes Yan Tianzong.

On the night of the second day after Yan Wuqi and Qi Jinyu separated, Jingzhao Mansion, a luxurious mansion in Huichang County, was located at the foot of Lishan Mountain, just a step away from Huaqing Palace.

In the middle of the night, the moon is dark and the stars are shi.

There is a three-story attic for viewing the scenery, which is the tallest building in the mansion, and the eaves of the attic have two people crouching in the night, both wearing night clothes and each wearing a terrible ghost mask.

"Li Linfu has always been cunning and suspicious, and it was rumored in the early years that this guy never fixed his shelter in order to prevent assassination, how can Gongzi be sure that he will be here today?" one of them lowered his voice and whispered.

Gongzi snorted coldly and sneered: "This dog thief is not only a wicked person, but also afraid that Lord Yan will come to the door, what a bad seed!" and then said: "The news is provided by their brothers, there must be an accurate child!"

"So let's kill it now?"

Childe yawned and said, "Don't worry, wait and see." ”

About half an hour passed, and it was already ugly, and everything was lonely. Gongzi stretched out his hand and pointed down in three directions, and said, "There are people on duty in these three places in turn, Li Linfu will be among them, go down and search!"

"If the person in the room is not Li Linfu, how to deal with it?"

"Kill them all!"

With that, the two black shadows slipped silently into the courtyard and scattered towards both ends.

Outside the door of a side hall in the house, two night watchmen who had just changed shifts were patrolling back and forth vigilantly with lanterns, one of them suddenly felt a strange noise around him, looked sideways, and saw his accomplice fall to the ground, and when he came back to his senses, a cold dagger had been placed on his neck, and there was no more follow-up.

The man in black gently lifted the latch and flashed into the inner room.

After only a few breaths, the man crept out the door as if nothing had happened.

The other place was similar, the boy shook out a few hidden weapons, killed two guards in an instant, and did not make any sound, and then opened the window, got into the inner room, and came out after a while.

There was also a stick of incense before and after, and the two black-clothed people met in front of the last hall, the two sides glanced at each other, shook their heads, and didn't find Li Linfu, and the two didn't say much.

One of them was about to pry the door, but the boy reached out to stop him, then pointed into the house, and stretched out two more fingers, he knew in his heart, knowing that there were two guards in the house, and the masked boy made a few simple gestures, and then turned to leave.

The latch was gently pulled off, and a black shadow flashed in.

"Who!" a low cry came from inside the room.

The man in black did not delay, he kicked him coldly, and immediately entangled with the two guards, and after more than ten rounds of back and forth, one of the guards was forced into a corner, and then he suddenly remembered to shout loudly: "Someone!

He only shouted once, and a person sneaked in from the side window, and while he was unprepared, a knife cut his throat, and at the same time, a big stride, so fierce that a palm slapped at another guard, the guard and the enemy in front of him were in a good fight, and relaxed his vigilance for a while, and when he noticed that there was a palm wind whistling behind him, it was too late, as soon as he turned his head, the masked boy who came out of the window slapped his Shenting acupoint fiercely, and suddenly the skull shattered, and the red blood flowed out along the heavenly spirit cover, and the body fell softly.

The shouting did not cause much commotion, but it woke up Li Linfu, who was lying on the bed in the inner room, and in the haze, he didn't know what was going on, when he saw two black-clothed men wearing ghost masks rushing to him.

"It's him!" one of them shouted excitedly.

"Traitor!" said the other, gritting his teeth.

The panicked Li Linfu was just about to shout, but Gongzi slashed him with a knife and knocked him unconscious.

"Take the old thief with you, and let's go. ”

In a small forest at the foot of Lishan Mountain, Li Linfu, who was in a coma, suddenly felt a hot pain in his cheeks, opened his eyes in a daze, and saw that he was tied to a tree with five flowers, unable to move.

"Prime Minister Li, how should I torture you?" came a hideous voice from under the mask.

"Don't kill me! I'll give you whatever you want. ”

Childe laughed wildly: "You give me whatever you want?" Hahahahaha! I want your filthy black heart, and then take it off and eat it raw. ”

"Spare your life... Spare your life!" Li Linfu was extremely panicked.

"Spare your life, did you ever think about sparing their lives when you persecuted my family?" As soon as he finished speaking, he stabbed a knife on the back of his hand, Li Linfu shouted, but the boy ignored it, and held down the dagger and turned it in his hand a few times.

The heart-rending cry was instantly drowned in the woods, and Li Linfu, who was in severe pain, fainted again.

"You pee and wake him up. Childe coldly ordered.

The man hesitated and said, "Childe... This... It's not appropriate, and besides, I didn't..."

Childe sneered, "You can't pee, do you?" the man nodded vigorously.

"Then go find water and wake him up. Childe snapped.

The man went as ordered, shaking his head and smiling bitterly as he walked: "I really don't understand the character of the master, I still look like I want to eat people, and now I am happy like a child." ”

After a while, Li Linfu was woken up again, and this time he was simply and said weakly: "Give me a good time, kill me directly." ”

Childe laughed: "You owe me two lives, how can you be so cheap." This time it was Li Linfu's turn to laugh, and arrogantly shouted: "I have been rich and noble all my life, I am a very good minister, and I have earned a life when I am dying, it is worth it!"

Gongzi asked him with interest: "How did you earn a life?" Li Linfu said: "Just now you said that I owe you two lives, but I can only die once, what is it if I don't earn it?"

Hearing this, Gongzi was furious and smashed it with a punch, Li Linfu suddenly spat blood from his mouth, and he almost couldn't breathe.

After being silent for a while, the boy said softly: "I had the ability to kill you ten years ago, Prime Minister Li might as well guess why you have survived so far." ”

Seeing that he didn't answer, Gongzi got up and said indignantly: "How can I solve the hatred in my heart just by killing you, you and Li Longji owe me, I want to let the entire royal family and the entire country accompany the funeral! Leaving you dog thief to live for ten more years is just to continue to cause trouble for Li Tang, and I can also reorganize my armament and move when the time comes." You dog thief also cooperated, and now the Li Tang Dynasty is in turmoil thanks to you!hahahaha!"

As soon as these words came out, Li Linfu was shocked and shocked, and asked, "Who are you?"

"Tut-tut, I suddenly thought that a person like you, it's more uncomfortable to see yourself ruined than to kill you, right? You can only die once, it's true, I not only want to kill you, and then crush your bones and ashes, but also want you to see yourself defeated, and I will also take your so-called glory and wealth together. ”

"Ridiculous!" Li Linfu spit!

"Spare you from dying today, and come back to take your dog's life in half a year, I promise that you will be presented at that time! You don't have to think about slipping away, even if you hide to the ends of the earth, I can find you!" After Childe said this, he slapped him again and stunned him again.

"Carry it back again, just don't forget, be sure to pee on his head!"

The man was very puzzled and asked, "Childe is not afraid that he will commit suicide or find a master to protect him?"

Gongzi snorted coldly, and his whole body exuded the look of the world: "I want to die alone, he can't live;
