Chapter 47: Returning the favor
Li Wu's appearance was actually not unexpected by Pan Long.
He's going to show up anyway, just a little sooner or later.
For Pan Long, it doesn't really make a difference.
Because he has already made up his mind.
"After seven years, the demeanor of Li seniors is still the same, which is really admirable. He smiled and said to Li Wu, "Senior, isn't it to arrest people this time?"
Li Wu shook his head: "The edict given to me by the imperial court is only to pursue that strange bamboo slip, and it doesn't matter whether you arrest people or not." As long as He Ping'an handed over the bamboo slips, I turned around and left. ”
Pan Long looked at He Ping'an.
He Ping'an lowered his head to eat, and he didn't even mean to raise his head.
Pan Long sighed: "Can Senior Li let him rest for a good night today?"
Li Wu shook his head: "The martial arts of this surnamed He are not particularly high, but there are too many ghost ideas." I chased him for two months before I ran out of gas. If he is allowed to eat and sleep well, he will have to work for a few more months. ”
Pan Long was about to persuade a few words, but Li Wu said again: "And he has excellent qualifications, and after fighting with me a few times, he has already understood the key to returning to the basics, and a formal breakthrough is just around the corner." Maybe he'll have a good rest tonight, and when he gets up tomorrow morning, he'll be in the realm of returning to the truth. When the time comes, with his cunning, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch him. ”
Pan Long was a little speechless for a moment, Li Wu said that when it came to this, he really didn't have any good way to negotiate.
But he hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "So...... I don't know what Senior Li is going to do before he is willing to let him sleep peacefully?"
Li Wu's eyes narrowed slightly, and there seemed to be a flash of fire in his eyes: "You want to help him?"
"Back then, in Guimen Mountain, he used to show mercy to my subordinates, and I always want to repay this favor. ”
Li Wu smiled: "We are all people who practice martial arts, and martial artists have always been very simple in doing things. It's nothing more than 'a big fist makes sense'. If you can win me, let alone let him get a good night's sleep today, even if I get back to my senses, it won't be a problem. ”
Pan Long shook his head: "How did I win over you, senior? ”
"If you let him get a good night's sleep, don't mention it either. Li Wu's attitude was quite gentle, but his meaning was very resolute, and he did not give in at all.
Pan Long hesitated for a moment and said, "It's just a good night's sleep, so you won't have to beat your seniors." That's too much to ask, can you lower it a bit?"
Li Wu restrained his smile and looked at him very seriously: "Do you really want to help him?"
"That's right. ”
"Do you know that he is now a wanted prisoner in Great Xia. ”
“...... He is the leader of Yongzhou Green Forest, and he was originally a wanted criminal. Pan Long said with a smile, "I have walked the rivers and lakes in the past few years, and I have seen too many scenes of court officials and green forest heroes sitting and drinking together and talking happily. Wanted, it may not be so serious. ”
Li Wu nodded: "That's right, this matter of wanting can actually be big or small, light or heavy." But if he refuses to hand over what the court wants, then the matter is very serious and cannot be laughed at. ”
Pan Long sighed: "That's why I only dare to ask for this kind of peace and mind, no matter how much, I don't dare to speak." ”
Li Wu shook his head: "The favor of sleeping this is not something that ordinary people are qualified to speak." ”
Pan Long smiled: "So, there is always something to discuss, right?"
Li Wu frowned, looked at Pan Long carefully, and after a long while, he said, "The aura on your body is very strange, and the true qi in your whole body is completely constricted, and it looks very much like returning to the realm of truth." But the vitality of heaven and earth is still gathering towards you, and it is obvious that you have not been able to truly return to the basics...... It's not something that the average person can do. I haven't seen you for a few years, and you seem to have had an amazing adventure. ”
Pan Long smiled and didn't explain.
Facing an official master of the Great Xia Imperial Court, it was really difficult for him to bring out the reason that "my teacher is Bi Lingkong".
Bi Lingkong, a teacher, is famous, and if he asks for this favor in the name of a teacher, there will definitely be no problem. But Bi Lingkong is the number one thief with the highest reward in the Great Xia Court, and unless it is absolutely necessary, Pan Long doesn't want the Great Xia Court to know that he has such a teacher.
"With such ability, it's no wonder you have such confidence. Li Wu also sighed and said, "Let's go out of the city and talk, as long as you can catch my three moves, I will give him a good night's sleep." ”
"Three moves are too many, how about two?" Pan Long bargained.
Li Wu smiled again: "Then let's make a move." ”
Pan Long hurriedly shook his head: "No, it's better to make three moves!"
Li Wu's smile lost its temperature, and there was a hint of murder in his eyes.
"Not everything in the world can be bargained. Since you want to meddle, then don't be so mother-in-law. I'll give you half an hour to prepare, and after half an hour, if you can take my move, I'll let He Ping'an sleep peacefully tonight. ”
With that, he stood up and walked to the door. But after only two steps, the figure disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared.
Watching him disappear, Pan Long shook his head with a wry smile.
"If you have three tricks, you might be able to use a dim sum machine. One move, then you can only do your best. ”
He sighed and looked at He Ping'an, who had been eating with his head down.
This King of the Nine Mountains hasn't said anything since Li Wu appeared, just concentrating on eating. Didn't even lift his head.
Pan Long understood that he was seizing the time to recuperate, so as to prepare for another battle with Li Wu.
Sure enough, He Ping'an finished eating quickly, and then lay directly on the table, and in no more than ten breaths at most, there was a slight snoring sound.
"Do you want to get some sleep in half an hour? He is really worthy of being a master of the green forest, and his adaptability is simply speechless!"
Pan Long sighed, he also took the time to eat a little, and then settled the bill, just sat there and closed his eyes, silently cultivating his spirit.
After about half an hour, Li Wu's voice sounded in his ears: "There is a small river in the south of the city, I am waiting for you by the river." ”
Pan Long stood up, moved his body, and walked outside.
When he walked to the door of the hotel, He Ping'an had already walked over. His spirits were much better than when they had met, and although he was still haggard, at least he didn't look like he was about to die.
"Let's go. He said to Pan Long, "I also want to see how much you have grown after seven years of not seeing." ”
"Hope won't let you down. Pan Long said with a smile.
"It's hard to say. He Ping'an took a step forward and walked in front of him, so that Pan Long couldn't see his expression, "If you can really catch Li Wu's serious move, then I will probably be more sad than happy." ”
A soft sigh came slowly: "That means that I have spent countless hours and energy and suffered countless hardships, but you have surpassed me lightly." In that case, my hard work in the past few years will become a joke......"
