In another thirty miles, we will return to Lin'an Mansion, which we have been absent for a long time.

In order to take care of Li Xiaoqian's injuries, we bought an ox cart and kept moving slowly.

In the evening, we went to a small town outside Lin'an City and found a good inn to rest.

Regarding Li Xiaoqian's injury, I have always been puzzled. At first, when he fainted, he didn't have a knife in his abdomen, and I distinctly heard him say "".

I can confirm that Li Xiaoqian was indeed playing dead at first. I asked Li Xiaoqian, "When did that knife stick to you?"

Li Xiaoqian glanced at Lu You beside him from the corner of his eye, and said, "As soon as the boat docked, I saw a flash of white light, and then I fainted. ”

I said, "No way." ”

I was right next to him at the time, how could I not see a flash of white light?!

Li Xiaoqian said: "The knife is not inserted in you, how do you know that it is impossible?"

We debated this question for a long time, and in the end there was no answer. Because the answer is only known to Li Xiaoqian himself, if he doesn't say it, we are helpless.

Moonlight. The moonlight was exceptionally clear, and all the stars were eclipsed.

I couldn't sleep this night, and there were so many things that happened recently that I couldn't figure it out. All the mysteries are one after another, especially the dialogue between Li Xiaoqian and Lu Shi, which makes me feel that Yuan Xin's death seems to have another hidden meaning.

I was so distraught that I wandered alone through the cold streets of the town at night.

At night, the town is empty and there is no one in sight. The silver moonlight sprinkled down, covering the town with a layer of green veil, like a pair of warm hands, covering the town with a thin quilt.

I looked ahead, hazy and deep. Whenever this happens, I feel a strong sense of loneliness.

But this loneliness did not last long, and was shattered by a cry from the deep alley.

"Stop, don't run!"

It was a deep man's voice, with anger in it. This was followed by the sound of hurried footsteps.

"Tread, tread, tread, tread........." sounds like there are a lot of people.

There was a half-man-high water tank in front of the tavern next to me, and I hurriedly crouched behind it and hid, poking out half of my head to peep.

After a while, more than a dozen people jumped out of the alley. A man ran as hard as he could, but he was still caught up by several strong men behind him, and he was surrounded by groups.

The moonlight illuminated the man, he was about thirty years old, dressed in green clothes, tall and tall, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and sharp and angular cheeks, very handsome. His eyes swept over everyone, he was not afraid of danger, and he had the courage to be proud of the world.

"Good boy, look at your dog-like appearance, how can you do something like a dog?" a man stood up and scolded.

The man smiled coldly and said, "I stole chickens and dogs, what proof do you have?!"

"Hmph!" said the man, "Recently, there have been a series of burglaries in the town, and I have been squatting here for several days, and today at the door of Shen's house, I saw you sneaking around the thief's eyebrows, intending to climb over the wall to enter, what is it if you are not a thief?"

The man laughed loudly and said, "If you climb over the wall, you are a thief? Why don't you say that you are a robber if you chase me? You don't ask about the cause and effect, but only rely on assumptions at the time, is this the way your government handles cases?"

Only then did I notice that those people were uniformly dressed, and they were all dressed as government officials.

Then the officer said, "Come with me to the yamen."

The man snorted coldly and said, "I'm afraid that you have the life to invite me, but you don't have the life to send me." ”

This person spoke so arrogantly that he didn't even take the official servants in his eyes, and I suddenly wondered, who is he?

The officer got a little impatient, waved his hand to the people around him, and said, "Take him away." ”

As soon as the words fell, several strong men came up with ropes in their hands and were about to tie them up.

The man's cold kick actually kicked the two strong men upside down and flew out at the same time.

I was immediately surprised. With such strong strength and exquisite legs, this man must also be a martial arts master.

More than a dozen big men drank together and rushed up. Under the moonlight, the man stepped on the dragon kick fighting style, held the Bohu Eagle Claw Gong in his hand, glared at everyone angrily, and his face was full of the calmness of Mount Tai collapsing in front of him.

The field was chaotic and dusty, and after a rattling fight, the man was pushed to the ground by more than a dozen people in unison.

The man was still not convinced, and shouted: "After eating the courage of the ambitious leopard, you dare to do it with me, do you know who I am?!"

An errand officer stretched out his hand and slapped him in the face, and the snapping, crunching sound echoed through the night.

The man cried out, as if he had been greatly insulted, and he cried out: "You are dead!

For some reason, I suddenly wanted to save him.

There was a strong feeling that told me that I should go and save this man who had never died.

Without thinking, I yelled and overturned the water tank next to me.

"Whoa" sounded.

The water tank fell to pieces on the ground, and half of the water in the tank flowed to the ground. The water reflected the moonlight in the sky on the ground, sparkling and shining, like jewels and jade scattered all over the ground.

And then what?

I didn't even think about what I was going to do.

However, I had exposed myself to the plain sight, and all eyes looked at me in unison. I felt like I had been stripped naked in front of them, in full view.

Panic! That's what I'm feeling most at the moment.

"You ......"

As soon as one of the servants spoke, and before he could finish his words, the man had already taken advantage of this momentary respite to come to a carp to slap him, shaking away all the dozen strong men who were pressing him, and then swept in place, knocking down seven or eight people.

Then the man stood up and lunged at me with an arrow.

I saw that he had a serious expression and awe-inspiring eyes, thinking that he wanted revenge, so I hurriedly hugged my head and wanted to squat on the ground.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I was halfway through the squat, I was vigorously picked up by one hand.

"Run!"

The man yelled and dragged me into another alley. I was dragged by him, and I felt my legs involuntarily thrashing more often than I had ever run.

Because of running, the wind whistling in the quiet night brushed my ears.

Someone behind him shouted, "Stop, don't run!"

Someone shouted behind him: "Which one smashed our water tank with a thousand knives?!"

The two voices intertwined, echoing in the night sky, but finally drowned in the wind in their ears, and faded away.

I felt like I was using all my strength because of running. It wasn't until I couldn't hold it anymore that I forcibly shook off the man's hand and gasped, "No, no!

The man looked behind him and looked at the alley we had run through, deep and out of sight, and he exhaled heavily and said, "I finally ran away." If it is known that I am out of the palace to hunt for beauty, I am afraid that it will be another big right and wrong!"

I?!

My heart was pounding, pounding. This throbbing had nothing to do with the wild run just now, it was the man's words that scared me.

I said, "What did you just say?"

The man's expression froze, and suddenly became extremely serious, and he said coldly, "What did you hear?"

I looked at him in a daze, my heart almost jumping out of my throat, and I could clearly hear my own voice trembling: "You just said 'I'?!"

The man's gaze suddenly became very cold, and he said, "And then?"

"Out of the palace to hunt for beauty!" I said.

He grabbed me by the throat and said in a threatening tone, "If you dare to speak out, believe it or not, I will kill you?!"

I was so pinched by him that I couldn't speak, so I had to nod my head again and again. He let go of his hand, suddenly smiled, and said, "Of course you helped me once tonight, and I won't treat you badly." There will be benefits for you in the future. ”

I asked, "Are you the emperor?"

He hurriedly made a silent gesture and looked around in a panic. Finally, he asked me with a smile, "Tell me, what's your name?"

I said, "I don't want to say!"

He frowned and scolded: "You dare to resist the order?!"

It is said that resisting the decree is a capital offense. I didn't want to die, I said, "My name is Ji Danbing!"

As I expected, the emperor laughed, laughing so much that tears came out, and he said, "I like it!" Then, he jumped over a low wall, squatted on the wall, and said, "In the future, we will see you again!"

The emperor is gone.

But as he said, we'll see you again.

And goodbye will be me, and this Jianghu, the starting point of all tragedies.
