After getting the silver, Xiao Jinyan patted his head and said, "I suddenly remembered that I don't seem to have anything to do with Dengwen Academy now." ”

In Yinyang, for the sake of Yuwenshuang, Xiao Jinyan was unwilling to drag down his senior brother, and drew a clear line with Dengwen Academy in front of his fellow people in the rivers and lakes. However, in response to this statement, the Dengwenyuan remained silent. Moreover, now that the Dengwenyuan has been deliberately snubbed by His Majesty, with its current power, it cannot be compared with when it competed with Yixiaotang.

Li Chengcheng looked disdainful, "Being besieged by the elders in the council hall today, I deeply reflected on the mistakes I made, and the carelessness of making friends is the most serious. ”

Xiao Jinyan let out a long sigh, "These words are too hurtful. Still, I'll help you investigate this, won't I?"

"So good?"

Xiao Jinyan said: "For you, thousands of times." ”

……

The fish that slipped through the net of the Lingnan Sword Sect is nowhere to be found, and the only clue is only the Red Star Hall, if you can follow the vine and find the master of the Red Star Hall, there may be a chance to turn the tables.

Zhang Touer, the wooden card killer, has been waiting in the drum tower for three days.

Xiao Jinyan, Master of Mercy and Yue Laoqi are gone, he is a little anxious, and he has also been to Shanhefang to inquire about the news, and heard about the assassination of Li Chengcheng, only to know that the person who the Red Star Hall wanted to kill was actually the third young master of the Li family, he was very frightened, he wanted to leave, but the rules of the Red Star Hall, as a killer, do not achieve the goal, even if he escapes, he will be chased and killed by the above.

Xiao Jinyan found him in the Drum Tower, and when Zhang Tou'er first saw him, he was a little shocked, "You are not dead?"

Xiao Jinyan said in a low voice, "Come with me." ”

Zhang Tou'er didn't know why, followed him to a secluded place, and said with a smile, "I had the opportunity to kill Li Chengcheng, but Li Chengcheng gave me a thousand taels and asked me to buy your life." ”

Zhang Tou'er said, "As a killer, how can you be so double-faced?"

"Li Chengcheng gave you cash, you wrote a blank check, and I also want to beg for a living, so I have to wronged you, but Young Master Li said that as long as you name the employer behind you, he can spare your life. He pretended to look around and said in a low voice, "Now that there are sword servants of the Li family all around, I don't want to die here." ”

Zhang Tou'er said, "Do you know that the rules are strict, and the killer who takes the task will either complete the task or die?"

"This is easy to do, as long as you identify the person behind the scenes, the third young master of the Li family will send someone to protect you, and even help you change your identity. ”

Zhang Tou'er hesitated a little, he weighed it for a while, and then said, "I took over this task from a bronze killer at a price of one thousand taels." I got five hundred taels first, and after I got it, I went to Yiwen Restaurant next to Mochou Lake to settle the remaining five hundred taels. ”

The two went to Mochou Lake and found the Yiwen restaurant that Zhang Touer said, the wine shop is not big, only a few tables, there is no one inside, Zhang Touer stepped forward and knocked on the door, no one responded, only as soon as he pushed the door open, he saw an arrow shooting from the shadows, Xiao Jinyan said, "Be careful!"

Zhang Tou'er couldn't react and fell to the ground.

A dark shadow flashed past the back building of the restaurant, and Xiao Jinyan chased after him. The black shadow light skill is very clever, and Xiao Jinyan has always been within thirty zhang, Xiao Jinyan tried his best, but he was never able to take a step closer.

After chasing for more than ten miles in one go, the black shadow suddenly stopped. Only then did Xiao Jinyan see clearly that this person was dressed in black and masked, holding a long sword in his hand, with a black body and a white hilt.

Xiao Jinyan was shocked in his heart, "The Li family is enshrined?"

The man in black smiled and said, "Knowing this sword, it's not bad to have a good eye." ”

The three major offerings of the Li family in Jinling are responsible for guarding the ancestral hall, and within the Li family, they are grandmaster-level figures, except for Li Xiaohua, who belong to the three major worship martial arts with the highest martial arts. Xiao Jinyan understood that this person deliberately had reservations, just to lure him to catch up, and now in a no-man's land, he could kill him.

"I have heard that the Li family worships and takes it as its responsibility to protect the family, but Your Excellency found someone to assassinate Li Chengcheng, what benefits did Li Xiaoshu give you to break your sword oath?"

The man in black said, "Li Xiaoshu, he is not worthy of it!"

"Who instructed you?"

"When you meet Hades, you may know. With that, he pulled out the long sword, and on the sword of luck, he saw that the white hilt instantly turned black, and a sword aura shrouded Xiao Jinyan in it.

Xiao Jinyan knew that this battle was inevitable, so he packed up his mind, used string force to attract true qi, and gathered a foot in front of him to resist this sword qi.

The sword qi was handed over, Xiao Jinyan was shocked, this person's combat power was not inferior to Sun Qiangu. The man in black also felt strange, "At a young age, he has such a cultivation, but it's a pity that he made the wrong friend." ”

Before the words fell, the long sword stabbed out and came towards Xiao Jinyan's eyebrows. Before he could make contact, Xiao Jinyan felt an astonishing aura coming to him.

Xiao Jinyan was in a hurry, did not retreat but advanced, did not dodge, and the unequaled divine fist met the chest of the man in black, and when he was three feet away, he vomited all his internal strength, and wanted to die with the man in black.

The long sword is not fast.

Neither fists are withdrawn.

This is a big gamble, his cultivation is not as good as the Li family's worship, but if this punch hits him in the chest, even if he doesn't die, the other party will be seriously injured, and he bets that the other party will not fight to lose his cultivation in order to kill him.

Sure enough, a foot between the eyebrows, the Li family enshrined and withdrew the move, turned the long sword around the wrist, and cut Xiao Jinyan's hands obliquely, Xiao Jinyan stepped to the side without vain steps, and the Li family enshrined close to him, the unequaled divine fist is a short move, once close, more than ten moves are endless, punch by punch, every move is a fighting posture, so that the Li family, who has an advantage in the realm, actually withdrew the sword and fell into passivity.

The Li family is enshrined in the rivers and lakes, but its reputation is not good, but the spirit is extremely high, even if he sees the heads of the major sects, he is also conceited to have the power to fight, he can't think of making a move today, he can't get any advantage from a junior, he is angry in his heart, and he releases the law space, and the whole person instantly moves outside Xiao Jinyan's fist wind, and before Xiao Jinyan can react, he adjusts the sword momentum, grabs Xiao Jinyan's vacancy, and exerts all his internal strength to stab out with a sword.

Rumble!

Xiao Jinyan didn't dare to take it hard, and the two fists crossed over, and he retreated more than ten steps backwards before he barely stood up.

The Li family did not pursue, stood with a sword, and said lightly, "The next move, called the Three Thousand Phases Sword, is second only to the three great moves of the Li family in Jinling, if you can catch it, I will spare you to die." ”

Xiao Jinyan's realm was suppressed, if it was usual, he would have fled, but this person's sword move seems to have not come out, as long as he moves, he will inevitably be attacked in all directions. He once fought against Li Tingcheng, even if it was the six reincarnations, it didn't give him this feeling.

Xiao Jinyan knew that if he messed up at this time, he would definitely die here today.

His mind was as calm as water, and his knowledge of the sea became clear, and he withdrew the true yuan, and only protected his body with two strings. The Li family does not offer swords, but Xiao Jinyan's feeling is that ten thousand swords are fired at the same time, and the more time passes, the stronger this sense of oppression becomes.

Xiao Jinyan said: "If I surrender, can I spare my life?"

This worship was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't expect him to say such a thing, so he was stunned, Xiao Jinyan saw the right time, resisted the coercion, and punched suddenly.

The further the punch goes, the greater the resistance.

The Li family didn't expect him to be like this, and said, "Courage is commendable." ”

The long sword was horizontal, and it slashed down with the momentum of thunder, and at this moment, an invisible true qi broke through the air.

It was Xiao Jinyan's true qi that he had withdrawn before, with the help of the two mountain peaks as strings, gathering qi into arrows and sneaking up on the Li family's offerings.

Xiao Jinyan once relied on the trick of the arrow boy to win by surprise, and he tried it repeatedly, so he was ready to repeat the old trick.

The Li family didn't know how to worship the head, and blocked the scabbard with his backhand, and the whole person jumped up in the air with the help of the power of the air arrow, and swung out with a sword.

The whole space seemed to be on fire.

Xiao Jinyan only felt that there were countless sword shadows around him, and each sword shadow seemed to be real and false, and he couldn't judge whether it was true or false, so he ignored it and threw four punches one after another.

Four roars shook Xiao Jinyan to the point of spitting blood.

Seeing more sword shadows coming towards him, Xiao Jinyan was secretly shocked in his heart, "My life is over!"

Just then, he heard a crane chirping.

A white-clothed figure flashed from above Xiao Jinyan, and stabbed a sword in the air towards the Li family.

The worship snorted, his chest was like a lightning strike, the long sword shattered, and the whole person retreated back dozens of feet away, falling to the ground.

It seems to be like a light cloud covering the moon, and fluttering like the snow of the wind.

Xiao Jinyan had never seen such a subtle swordsmanship!

After the woman in white stabbed out with a sword, she didn't stop, she was barefoot in the pines, and the whole person was like a fairy shooting at her, walking against the wind.

A crane passed by a mountain stream, and the woman landed on the crane and rode away in the wind.

Soaring like a frightening dragon, moving like a dragon.

He didn't have time to look at the injured Li family worship, his eyes looked at the distant figure from afar, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

This figure is no longer familiar to him.

This figure, he had seen it countless times in his dreams.

He had been looking for this figure for five years.

Now that we meet again, it is like a world away.

Xiao Jinyan had an indescribable feeling. He didn't expect that when he saw Li Jinghong again, it was at this scene that she saved her life with the long sword in her hand.

It's been seven years.

In the past seven years, he has been dashing, down, fought, lost, won, lost, loved, but never hated.

Back then, Li Jinghong said goodbye without saying goodbye, he went crazy, turned over the entire rivers and lakes, and finally lived in seclusion on the edge of Taihu Lake, waiting for her to see if she would suddenly appear.

It wasn't until Yu Wenshuang appeared that he gradually accepted the reality, that is, Li Jinghong was no longer in the world, at least not above this Jianghu.

When she said goodbye, she became more ethereal, detached, and ethereal.

The way of heaven is ruthless and seems to be affectionate, and there are no immortals in the world.

But for some reason, when she was shocked, she didn't leave a word and left him, and he felt a sense of loss in his heart.

Xiao Jinyan and Li Jinghong, one wants to laugh proudly, and the other pursues immortality, but they are not people of the same world after all.

The Li family worshipped and died.

A person who is in the upper realm, in the hands of Li Jinghong, has no power to parry, this kind of cultivation is enough to be proud of the entire rivers and lakes.

Xiao Jinyan was stunned, put away the broken sword with the white hilt, and returned to Jinling City.

……

Li Chengcheng looked at a note on the bookcase and fell into deep thought. He didn't know where the note came from, but when he returned to his room, he put it on the bookcase.

Four words were written on the note: "Huide Firm".

Huide firm is a common business name of the Li family to avoid the imperial court tax, used to pay for the operation of the clan, just a few days ago, someone took nine silver bills of 100,000 yuan to deal with in different banks, due to the huge amount, causing the major banks to take the silver tickets to check the bottom ticket, which attracted his attention. He ordered people to check the accounts of the Huide firm one by one in the past three years, and after checking it, he found that in the past three years, nearly five million taels of silver had flowed into the family. And the people who paid for it included white-clothed Jianqing, several black-clothed sword ministers, and even involved an offering.

These swordsmen of the Li family, according to their different ranks and cultivation, receive a fixed amount of money every month, and when they go out on tasks alone, they also have normal channels to receive money, but the expenditure of this silver tael has nothing to do with these.

From this, Li Chengcheng deduced that over the years, in addition to receiving fixed salaries, Li Xiaoshu has also secretly delivered silver taels to them. Through the silver money in his hand, he gradually controlled the Li family's combat power.

This discovery is no small thing.

For a long time, the Li family's guest qing, worship, and swordsmen have all obeyed the dispatch of the head of the family, Li Xiaohua, and if the head of the family loses control over them, the consequences will be unimaginable.

The three rooms blackmailed them by mastering the accounts of each room, and controlled the swordsmen through the silver two transportation, and this series of measures were all prepared.

When it really comes to the time of fighting swords and using martial arts to determine the overall situation, if there is internal chaos, even if Li Xiaohua has excellent martial arts, in the end, the family will be greatly damaged, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

He had no intention of being the head of the family.

But as a child of the Li family, family honor is supreme and family interests are paramount, this is a belief rooted in his bones, and he will never allow anything to destroy and split the family.

He made up his mind that if he really reached that point, he would use the long sword in his hand to end everything. If it really comes to that point, it will use the blood of the third room to end everything.

He sorted out the clues, told Li Xiaohua what he found, and the two talked in the study for two hours, no one knew the content of their conversation, but after this conversation, Li Chengcheng went to the Sword Tower and took a sword from the Hidden Sword Pavilion.

The name of the sword is amazing.

In the afternoon of the same day, the body enshrined by Li Jiasan was found outside Jinling City, and the entire Jinling City was a sensation.

You must know that the three major martial arts of the Li family are strong, second only to the existence of the head of the family, and in the entire rivers and lakes, there are only a handful of people who can quietly kill a person worshiped by the Li family.

The great ancestor worship is imminent, first Li Chengcheng was assassinated, and then there was the death of the worship, which was undoubtedly a huge blow to the Li family.

Li Xiaohua used the family order to announce that the entire Li family had entered a state of alert, and the masters of the family were transferred out everywhere to track down the murderer, and the murderer must be caught before the great ancestor worship.

For a time, the entire Jinling rivers and lakes were full of rumors.

At this moment, Li Chengcheng disappeared.
