Volume 2 The Beginning and End of the Martial Arts League Chapter 103 Gambling Contract
1
Three days later, the appointment of the Smoke and Rain Pavilion.
I don't know how Zhuge Duyun and Li Moyan discussed. Will they agree to our request and go to the Yamen to surrender themselves to resolve this martial arts crisis.
Li Xiaoqian's answer is definitely not.
I asked, what if they didn't turn themselves in?
Li Xiaoqian only said that he didn't know either, so he could only take one step at a time.
This step has finally come.
The smoke and rain pavilion in the middle of the night is silent. Surrounded by a deep and terrifying dense jungle, it blends with the night in the middle of the night, and there is no end in sight. It seems that even insects, birds, and beasts are afraid of such an environment, and they dare not make a sound.
Lu You was punished by Lu's mother because he didn't return home that night at the meditation nunnery, and he copied the family law at home and was not allowed to go out.
In desperation, Li Xiaoqian and I could only come alone.
It's a terrible, environment, especially at a time like this.
I was worried in my heart, and said, "Will Li Moyan and Zhuge Duyun kill us?"
Li Xiaoqian nodded and said, "It's possible." ”
I was even more scared and said, "Why don't we go back?" ”
Li Xiaoqian immediately replied: "I think so too." ”
"Why do you want to go back when you're here?"
We were just about to turn around when suddenly a shrill man's voice came from somewhere unknown.
I shuddered and asked in a trembling voice, "Who is it?"
A tall figure walked out slowly in the darkness. Walking up to him, the moonlight illuminated his body. It was an emaciated man with prominent cheekbones on his face, a towering forehead, a goatee, and cool and piercing eyes.
"I am the one you are looking for. His voice was sharp, and there was something yin and yang in his tone.
I asked, "You, are you Li Moyan?"
"Not bad. He said, "You are the Lord of the Ji League." ”
As soon as he said this, I immediately felt that I was a lot more imposing, after all, he still recognized me as the leader of the martial arts alliance.
I strengthened my courage and said, "What have you thought about what the leader of this alliance told you?"
Li Mo smiled and said, "I didn't think about it at all." ”
I asked, "Why?"
Li Moyan said: "Because I won't agree at all." ”
Sure enough, as Li Xiaoqian guessed, they would not agree to turn themselves in.
I glanced at Li Xiaoqian, and he shook his head helplessly. I asked, "What about Zhuge Duyun?"
"I only listen to old ghosts. "The voice of Zhuge Duyun came from the darkness. I followed the prestige, only to see Zhuge Duyun, still wearing the green clothes of that day, but the wet hair became dry and soft, neatly pulled up, and inserted two fluorescent hairpins. She glared at Li Xiaoqian coldly when she walked over, so frightened that Li Xiaoqian hurriedly hid from me, spread her legs, and made a posture of pulling her legs to escape.
Zhuge Duyun smiled and said, "You don't have to run, the rules of our Remnant Cloud Club will only pick up posts and kill people, and we won't kill people without posts." ”
Li Xiaoqian breathed a long sigh of relief, but heard Zhuge Duyun say again, "However, you can cripple people!"
Li Xiaoqian hid behind me again at that time, put on a Shaolin light gong posture, and was ready to flee for his life at any time, which caused Zhuge Duyun to laugh heartily.
Li Xiaoqian said, "If you just don't agree, then you won't come, since you are here, you must have other plans, say it!"
Li Moyan said, "Clever! We have some plans, and we want to discuss them with the leader of the Ji League." ”
I asked, "What are you going to do?"
Li Moyan and Zhuge Duyun glanced at each other and said, "I heard that the alliance leader has a life-saving grace for the emperor, therefore, I want to ask the alliance leader to help us ask for personal favors in front of the emperor, we can dissolve the Remnant Cloud Society, and disappear from now on, I hope the emperor can issue an order to release us and the various sects." ”
They say it lightly, but I have a feeling that it must be very difficult to do. I said, "Actually, I didn't save the emperor's life, but I helped him unintentionally." He may not give me such affection. ”
Li Moyan said, "So, the alliance leader refuses to help us?"
I said, "It's not that I won't help you, it's that I really can't." ”
Zhuge Duyun said, "Is the alliance leader insisting on throwing the two of us to the imperial court?"
They kept asking questions, and I really didn't know what to do. Originally, it was discussed that they would surrender to the imperial court, but I didn't expect them to put forward various conditions in today's Yanyu Pavilion. I was annoyed by them for a while, saying, "If you want to turn yourself in, you can turn yourself in, even if you don't turn yourself in, I won't be involved in this matter!"
Li Xiaoqian tugged at my sleeve again and again, as if to hint at me something, I looked back at him a few times in a row, but he didn't speak. I was even more annoyed and said, "If there's anything you say, don't pull it!"
Li Moyan said, "It seems that there is no point in talking about it any longer." But we don't want to see the various sects suffer because of us, so we have to wronged the alliance leader for the sake of today's plan. ”
I was stunned and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Zhuge Duyun said, "I don't do anything, I just want to make a risky move and try your weight in the emperor's heart." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, I only felt a light in my eyes, and then a cool feeling came from my neck. My heart shuddered, but I saw her hold a short knife against my neck.
Li Xiaoqian shouted, "Stop!
Zhuge Duyun looked at Li Xiaoqian suspiciously, and said, "What's the matter? Why are you in a hurry? I won't kill him?"
Li Xiaoqian said, "If you kidnap him, not only will you not be able to save the major sects, but you will leave more truth for the imperial court to deal with the affairs of the rivers and lakes." ”
I didn't dare to move, I just hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, he has a point!"
Zhuge Duyun hesitated, and I felt the short knife in my neck
Quietly slid down half an inch.
"Don't listen to him!" Li Moyan screamed, "How can you know if you don't try, do you really have to let us give up our heads to the imperial court before we can stop?"
Li Xiaoqian said, "Although the two of them are killers, they can be regarded as benevolent and righteous, are you really willing to gamble on the fate of the rivers and lakes?"
Li Moyan and Zhuge Duyun looked at each other, and their faces showed hesitation.
I seized the opportunity and said, "You can't gamble! If you lose the bet, it's over!"
As soon as my words came out, it really worked, Zhuge Duyun put away the short knife, he looked at Li Moyan with a soft gaze, and said with some despair, "Old ghost, don't struggle anymore, let's go." Although Senior Brother Guan didn't say it, I heard recently that he had already clashed with the imperial court. If it continues like this, I am afraid that it will cause trouble to the teacher. ”
Li Moyan bowed his head and remained silent, his fists clenched tightly.
I only heard Zhuge Duyun say again, "I have no regrets about killing that dog prefect." We are not wrong, what is wrong is that this world cannot tolerate people like us. ”
Li Moyan, who had been silent, suddenly broke out after listening to Zhuge Duyun's words. He shouted in his high-pitched voice, "What can't we tolerate? We just collect money except for a dog official, what are we compared to those dog thieves who sit high in the court and frame the loyal and good and disregard people's lives?"
Zhuge Duyun's eyes flickered, and he choked up and shouted, "Old ghost!"
Li Moyan raised his head suddenly, revealing an unusually fierce gaze, "It's a big deal, let's go kill that faint king, the world is not as big as my remnant cloud will not be able to take the head!"
They are ashamed to want to kill the emperor!
"Hehe......"
I just thought it was funny, and I couldn't help but laugh out loud for a while.
Li Xiaoqian roared in a low voice, "What are you laughing at, you are crazy!"
Li Mo stared at it fiercely, and that fierce gaze made my hair stand on end. Li Moyan said, "What are you laughing at?"
I said, "The palace is heavily guarded, and there are many master guards, how can you kill the emperor?!"
Li Moyan said, "As long as it is a head that grows on the top of the neck, there is nothing that cannot be removed! Do you want to try it?"
Looking at Li Mo's cruel and ferocious gaze, I subconsciously touched my neck, and suddenly felt that the head that had been firmly on my neck for nearly twenty years seemed to become no longer so reliable at this moment.
Li Xiaoqian suddenly jumped out and said, "Let's make a bet!"
Li Mo was stunned and asked, "What kind of bet?"
Li Xiaoqian said, "Since you are so conceited, there is no head in the world that cannot be taken." Why don't we agree that two days later, we will send two murder posts to the two of you. As long as one of you completes it, my brother ......" He patted me on the shoulder and continued, "I will personally enter the palace, meet the emperor, and intercede for you!"
Li Moyan and Zhuge Duyun's eyes showed excitement, and at the same time asked, "This is true."
?!”
I glanced at Li Xiaoqian quietly, and he winked at me vigorously. I understood and said, "Seriously!"
Li Moyan said excitedly, "That's good, the two of us don't live together in order to avoid the eyes and ears of the imperial court." She was in the meditation hermitage, and I was at the Stone Buddha Temple in the south of the city. When the time comes, please send the murder post to the two of us. ”
Li Xiaoqian said: "Okay! Two days later, I will send the murder post to your residence, and our bet will be limited to 10 days! If you win, we will do what we say, and no matter what the result is, we will definitely protect it in front of the emperor." But if you lose......"
I said, "Yes, what if you lose?!"
Li Moyan hesitated for a moment, clenched his fists, and said, "If we lose, the two of us will take the evidence of the assassination of the Shaoxing prefect and go to the yamen to surrender!"
Li Xiaoqian grabbed my hand, held it high, and said, "Come on! Give me a high-five! If you break the contract, you will not die!"
"Bang, bang, bang" three crisp sounds, and Li Mo's thin palm hit my palm three times in a row.

When I returned to Lufu, the sky was hazy and bright.
In front of Lu You's study, the lights flickered, and his figure walked back and forth under the lights.
Pushing open the door of Lu You's study, he saw that the two of us looked worried, and hurriedly rushed up to ask, "How are you?"
Thinking of being on the Yanyu Pavilion, I was almost kidnapped, and then I was almost cut off by Li Mo's head, and now I came back safe and sound, I suddenly had a sour nose, and hugged Lu You and whimpered, "It's scared to death!"
Lu You patted me on the shoulder and comforted, "It's good to come back!
It took a long time for my emotions to settle down a little. Lu You asked, "What happened?" ”
Li Xiaoqian was already sitting at Lu You's desk and fiddling with the inkstone. I said, "They don't even plan to turn themselves in." ”
Lu You nodded slightly and said, "I have already guessed this. And then, what happened?"
I described what happened on the Yanyu Pavilion to Lu You in detail from beginning to end.
Lu You was silent for a while after listening.
Li Xiaoqian said, "Fortunately, I reacted quickly, and I was able to get out of this bet to delay time." Otherwise, I'm afraid that Dan Bing and I really won't be able to come back. ”
Lu You said, "I only thought of the two of them, and I categorically would not agree to go to the yamen to surrender, but I didn't expect that it would be so dangerous to stop the smoke and rain for a while tonight." If you know this, even if your mother blames me, I will go with you. I was negligent in this matter. ”
Li Xiaoqian waved his hand and said, "The world is unpredictable, it's no wonder you." I didn't expect them to be so perverted. But fortunately, he came back unharmed, and the next thing is to think about how to deal with this bet. ”
I looked at Lu You and Li Xiaoqian anxiously and asked, "What should I do next?"
Li Xiaoqian said, "Of course, it's to send them a killing post!"
Lu You shouted, "Never!
Whoever you write down, if they do, isn't it our sin?"
Li Xiaoqian sighed and said, "Brother Lu, we were looking for people they couldn't kill to give them, otherwise how could we win this bet?"
I said, "In this world, they can't kill the only one in the world, I'm afraid it's only the emperor." Why don't we let them kill the emperor!"
Lu You and Li Xiaoqian's bodies shook at the same time. Li Xiaoqian shouted, "Are you crazy?!If the emperor knows about it, you let two killers kill him, and he won't dismantle you?!"
I said, "What then?"
Li Xiaoqian pointed to his head and said, "Use your brain!" With that, he picked up his pen and wrote down two names on two pieces of paper.
One is Li Mowan.
The other is Zhuge Duyun.
I immediately clapped my hands and said, "Great idea!"
Lu You nodded and said, "The two of them have a deep relationship, the couple has a deep relationship, and everyone in the rivers and lakes knows it." This is indeed a good idea! Brother Li, you are really smart, and the younger brother admires you!"
Li Xiaoqian put down the brush, looked at me, and said, "Dan Bing!
I said firmly, "I understand!"
What's not to understand about this, who would cut off their own heads?!
As he spoke, Li Xiaoqian had already put two pieces of paper into two envelopes. He handed me the two envelopes and said, "It's good to understand! You and Li Mo swear by high-fives, this matter only makes sense if you arrange it, but don't send it wrong!"
After receiving the two letters, I was thrilled. Since Li Xiaoqian came back, I always feel that things around me have gone a lot smoother, and I don't seem to have encountered any unsolvable problems.
Li Xiaoqian stretched his waist and said, "Brother Lu, if you don't mind, I won't go back to the wing, so borrow your study recliner to rest!"
Lu You smiled and said, "Brother Li, please, I'll go and order my subordinates to prepare some meals for you!"
Walking out of Lu You's study, it was already dawn. After groping in the dark all night, after the sun rose, I felt that the sky and the earth were bright.
I casually called the two servants of the Lu Mansion and handed the two sealed letterheads to the two of them. Before handing them to them, I checked them for fear that I might make a mistake with the two letters. After checking that it was correct, I ordered the two of them to take the letter to Jingxin Nunnery and Shifo Temple respectively, and personally handed it over to Zhuge Duyun and Li Moyan.
After the servant left. My long-hanging heart seemed to fall in an instant. For a while, I've been worried about this all the time. Now that this turmoil is about to pass, I will become the hero who saved the martial arts from danger, and from then on the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance will be firm and unshakable.
When I think of this, my heart is excited.
When I got back to the room, I suddenly felt exhausted, weak, and my eyes were heavy. With a yawn, I fell headlong into the comfortable bed and fell asleep with my head covered.

"Damn! Ji Danbing! Hurry up!"
While still asleep, I felt like I had been hit in multiple places all over my body. The heavy body was shaken by a pair of big hands, and Li Xiaoqian's anxious voice kept ringing in his ears.
"What's wrong?" I asked, rubbing my sleepy eyes.
"How did you send the letter?!" Li Xiaoqian shouted, "Li Moyan and Zhuge Duyun committed suicide!"
I was shocked, and sat up from the bed, and the original heavy sleepiness immediately dissipated without a trace.
"Holy!" I cried out heartily.
Li Xiaoqian glared and shouted, "How did you send the letter? Why did they commit suicide?"
I said, "Didn't you say that you want them to cut off their own heads?" I gave Zhuge Muyun to Zhuge Muyun and Li Moqian to Li Moyun!"
Li Xiaoqian stared at me with round eyes and stared at me for a long time without speaking. Suddenly, he shook his head and said to me in a tone of great emotion, "Dan Bing, Dan Bing! You are really a genius that is rare to see in 10,000 years!"
When he said this, my cheeks were hot, and I couldn't help but feel a little shy, and said with a smile, "It's a prize, it's a prize!"
Li Xiaoqian suddenly jumped like thunder, and yelled at me, "Reward your uncle!" I asked Li Moyun to kill Zhuge Duyun, and let Zhuge Duyun kill Li Moyun. You're fucking sending it back!"
With that, Li Xiaoqian stomped his feet and slammed the door.
Looking at the back of Li Xiaoqian's angry departure, I realized that I really seemed to have done something wrong.
I really didn't understand it at the time. I thought Li Xiaoqian originally meant that the people they couldn't kill were themselves.
However, quite the opposite. Li Xiaoqian decided that the people they refused to kill were each other.
But in any case, according to the servant who sent the letter back, Li Moyan and Zhuge Duyun did not hesitate at all after receiving the murder post, and committed suicide on the spot. Originally, a turmoil in the rivers and lakes that was about to be resolved was made to a dead end by me, and there is no possibility of resolution.
This tragedy has already happened.
However, the seeds of another tragedy were planted.
