After fighting a few more moves, the sword was bloodless and was hit by the tip of the sword, not only could he not resist, but he also had no hope of escaping.

The sword is bloodless: "Before you die, can you let Zhou see Your Excellency's dignity?"

The masked man in black: "If you see me, you will die." Do you want to die?"

Sword Bloodless: "I have no intention of living any longer. ”

The masked man in black: "Such a man of fame is a famous person, which I admire." Answer my questions and I can give you a way to live. ”

Jian Wuxue's tone was firm: "You still don't ask, it's a waste of time." ”

The masked man in black: "Is the secret more important to you than life?"

The sword is bloodless: "Not comparable." It's just that I leaked the secret, and if I live a few more days at most, it will affect my family, which is not cost-effective. ”

Masked man in black: "Okay, I see. Let you know who I am. After speaking, he put his mouth to his ear and whispered.

The sword is bloodless: "Oh, death in your hands, not unjust." After speaking, he put all his strength together, cut off his meridians, and fell to the ground and died.

The black-clad masked man leaned down and probed his qi. "I have no intention of killing you, you beg for death yourself, don't come to me as a ghost. ”

Li Cunqiao heard that Li Jiaojiao was sick, so he took a few entourages and went to the Li Mansion to visit him in person. He knew the door, and even the janitor. The housekeeper took him into the courtyard and hurried to the house to inform his wife.

It was a long time before Mrs. Lee hurried out of the house.

Li Cunmiao: "I've seen my godmother." ”

Mrs. Li: "Cunqing, you're here." I can't take care of Jiaojiao, so I can't let go of my hand, so I'll keep you waiting. Quick, come in and sit. ”

Li Cunmiao: "Godmother, you slow down, Cunmiao is fine today, let's chat with you." After speaking, he hurriedly came to Mrs. Li's side and helped her into the house.

Mrs. Li asked him to sit down and asked someone to bring tea.

Li Cunqiao asked with concern, "Is Jiaojiao's illness better?"

Mrs. Li had a sad face: "Alas, there has been no improvement, it has been a few days, the high fever does not go away, the face is full of pimples, pus and water, and my appearance is afraid to be ruined." ”

Li Cunmiao was taken aback: "It's so serious, what kind of disease is it?"

Mrs. Li: "Lang Zhong said that it was smallpox." ”

Li Cunqiao: "Ah! I'll go see her." ”

Mrs. Li waved her hand: "Lang Zhong said that this disease is easy to pass on from one to another, and you can't be short-sighted." Just come to the house and say hello, don't come to her room. ”

Li Cunmiao: "I'm in the middle of being strong, it's okay." ”

Mrs. Li: "No. You are a pillar of the nation, how can you take such a risk? If you have to see it, just look outside the door. ”

Li Cunmiao: "Listen to my godmother." With that, he got up and went to Jiaojiao's room with Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Li said as she walked, "Be quiet, she just fell asleep." ”

When she came to the door, Mrs. Li pushed the door open. I saw Li Jiaojiao lying on the bed, her face full of scars. After a while, Mrs. Li closed the door and motioned for Li Cunqiao to leave.

Back in the hall, Mrs. Li looked worried: "Lang Zhong said: Jiaojiao's illness may not worry about her life, but her appearance must be ruined." ”

Li Cunmiao: "Don't worry, godmother, it will get better." ”

Mrs. Li: "I have also seen people who have suffered from this disease, even if they are cured, their faces are full of pockmarks. Jiaojiao is so serious this time, the consequences can be imagined, how will she see people in the future?"

Li Cunmiao heard Xuanwai's voice: "Godmother doesn't have to think about it, Cunmiao won't dislike her." ”

Mrs. Li: "You misunderstood what I meant. I know you don't dislike Jiaojiao. But you are the one who will take over the throne of the prince in the future. My Jin Kingdom is like a cloud, and sooner or later I will unify the Central Plains. In the future, how can Jiaojiao be like this, how can she be the mother of the world? You can't just think about you and me, you have to think about the world. ”

Li Cunmiao: "Godmother is thoughtful, but it's too far." ”

Mrs. Li: "I can't ignore this. I have to report to the prince, quit this family business, and you have to choose another spouse. ”

Li Cunmiao didn't know what to say at this time, so he had to be silent.

After chatting for a while, Mrs. Li said that she was afraid of being infected by the disease for a long time, and urged Li Cunqiao to leave. When parting, he repeatedly instructed Li Cunqiao to report to the prince and retire from his relatives.

After Li Cunqiao returned home, he told his father Li Keyong about the incident.

Li Keyong pondered for a long time and felt that what Mrs. Li said made sense. The main purpose of his marriage is to strengthen the relationship with Li Siyuan, which is essentially a kind of use. At the moment, I didn't see any signs of Li Siyuan's half-heartedness, so he said: Mrs. Li thinks about the overall situation, it is commendable, Jiaojiao will not be my daughter-in-law, just be my daughter-in-law, and be named the lord of Lechang.

In the garden of the Tang family, several people gathered around and discussed last night's events.

Chen Xingwu had palpitations. "It's so dangerous, if it weren't for the black-clothed masked man who rescued me, maybe I would have died. ”

Chen Xingwen complained: "Second brother, you shouldn't ask me to change rooms, let alone let my brother replace me." ”

Tang Wuwei: "Your husband and wife are in the same room, as long as you are alone, his first thought is to kill Su Su." If you don't think about you, you have to think about Susu!"

Chen Xingwen: "That can't let my brother take risks." Can't you leave the room empty?"

Tang Wuwei: "If the room is empty, I don't know the purpose of the visitor." It has now become clear that he is here for the gun. Judging from the path he walked into the courtyard, he knew us very well, and maybe our every move was under their watch. That man's martial arts are strong, carrying Xingwu, like walking on the ground, I am far from his opponent. ”

Chen Xingwu: "Yes." Xingwen, you have to keep the gun with me, or I won't have the ability to defend myself at all. Oh, that black-clad masked man is even more powerful, I always think I've seen his figure somewhere. Second brother, is that the one who saved us?"

Tang Susu was curious: "He saved you?"

Chen Xingwen: "Yes. That experience was too dangerous, I was afraid that you would worry, so I didn't tell you. Second brother, is that the person?"

Tang Wuwei nodded. "It's the people I invited. He took a great risk, which is why he was reluctant to show people to his face. When I heard that a man much more powerful than him was coming to Chang'an, he took his leave from me. In the future, we will have to protect ourselves. ”

Chen Xingwu: "There are more powerful people? So I have to move out." ”

Tang Wuwei: "Where can you go? They don't want Xingwen, you want them too." It's easier for them to get their hands dirty when they go out. ”

Chen Xingwu complained: "Xingwen, you are a mourning star, which makes everyone uneasy!"

Chen Xingwen didn't dare to make a sound.

Tang Wuwei: "Okay, okay, don't say this hurtful thing, let's think about countermeasures." ”

Chen Xingwu said indignantly: "What is there to think. Xingwen, you hurry up and make a few more guns, no matter how strong your martial arts are, you are not afraid. ”

Tang Susu looked at Chen Xingwen.

Chen Xingwen: "It's too late this time." Do you think guns are easy to make? Good materials, good blacksmiths. So, I swaggered out and let them come at me. and ye shall be safe. ”
