The Yulin Li family is not well-known outside, and only those who have reached a certain level of strength and have intersected with the Li family's business can see some unusual things from the exchanges and get a glimpse of the terrifying heritage of this family.

As soon as the Pai Gang was wiped out, the Lone Wolf Gang now became the largest force in the Yulin Mansion on the surface, but in fact, whether it was the former or the latter, it was not comparable with the Li family at all.

The Shadow Gate mentioned earlier is actually the power developed by the Li family. The reason why Zhao Ziming was attacked on the Zhao family's big ship was because when he boarded the boat at the dock, his whereabouts had been reported to the upper echelons of the Li family.

The killer nicknamed "Soul Chasing", was originally unwilling to wait for work and assassinate a late-born junior, if it weren't for the fact that the matter of recovering the blood jade was too important, he would have to accompany him secretly, and he really had a grudge against the medicine monster, he would have openly found trouble with Zhao Ziming on the dock.

Of course, if that were the case, things would not be the way they are now.

As for why the killer killed the third master of the Li family, it involves the internal fighting of the Li family, which is complicated to say, and it is not possible to suppress it for the time being.

At this moment, in a secret room of the Li family ancestral hall, there are five people sitting around the table, three of them are white-haired and elderly old men, and the other two are about forty or so, and the strange thing is that the faces of the two are almost identical.

These five people are the five core members of the Li family today, the three old men are the elders of the previous generation, and the twin brothers are the uncle and second master of the Li family.

The eldest Li Tianhua has a black mole at the corner of his left eye, while the second Li Tianxin does not, which is the only sign that distinguishes the two brothers.

Li Tianhua's face was gloomy, and his voice was like a muffled thunder in winter, and his sentences made people's hearts tremble, "There was news last night that the third child died, and he was killed by someone who chased his soul. ”

Hearing this, the other four suddenly changed color, and one clan elder even slapped the table and stood up, "What did you say? Deng'er is dead?" This person is Li Deng's father, Li Mingda.

Li Tianxin said: "Fourth uncle, don't worry, sit down and talk." ”

When Li Mingda heard the bad news, he had already lost his sense of proportion, and despite persuasion, he still stared at Li Tianhua.

Li Tianhua glanced up at him and said: "The people below are unknown, they only know that the third child and the soul chasing were killed by a young man, as far as I know, the Zhao family who traded with us this time, together with the Nanshanzhai behind it, no one has that ability, let alone a young man." ”

Li Mingda's old face moved, and he sat down. Although the Li family has a profound background and strong wealth, there are also many opponents, and they have to face threats from the outside at all times, and the meaning of Li Tianhua's words is already obvious.

Li Tianxin said: "The royal family is busy with the war and has no time to deal with us, this time it should be those families, but I don't know who the person who shot is, and even the soul chasing is killed." ”

An old man said: "People can't be resurrected after death, and the most important thing now is to recover the blood jade, which involves the life and death of my Li family, and there is no room for loss." ”

Li Tianhua suddenly glanced around with a contemplative gaze, and when his gaze swept over his second brother, he paused slightly, and then said slowly in a deep voice: "I just want to know if everyone here has revealed a few words about the matter of blood jade. ”

Seeing that everyone else shook their heads to show no, Li Tianhua said: "The second brother will go to Nanshanzhai with me, first, to recover the blood jade, and second, the third brother can't die like this, we must ask the murderer for justice, and ask the three clan elders for all things in the family." ”

Li Mingda asked: "The master who killed the life-killing soul chaser, are you sure to deal with it?"

Li Tianhua got up and walked out, "Uncle Tai will go with us on this trip." ”

......

Ever since he was intercepted, Gozen ordered the sailors on board to row as hard as they could, trying to get back as fast as possible, passing through small docks and market towns without stopping.

This made Zhao Zishuang's plan to get off the boat halfway to buy medicine to cure her face frustrated, but she just turned around in front of the ghost gate, and she was scared enough, but she didn't lose her temper.

In order to thank Zhao Ziming for saving his life, Gao Cen led the surviving men on the ship to his room to thank him, presented him with a hundred taels of gold, and did not allow him to refuse. Zhao Ziming had no choice but to accept it.

Long Hanqin was also in the crowd of thanks, and behaved very unnaturally at first, but seeing that Zhao Ziming did not show hostility towards him, he expected that he really didn't know about the assassination by hiring a murderer, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and a hypocritical smile appeared on his face, making others think that he was grateful for Zhao Ziming's kindness.

Zhao Ziming's heart is like a mirror, but because of the poison in his body, his strength has been greatly reduced, and it is inconvenient to turn his face with him immediately, so he has a lot of grievances.

Everyone left, but Zhao Zishuang and Zhao Zijun, two brothers and sisters, stayed, and the latter expressed his admiration for Zhao Ziming with bright eyes. Of course, Zhao Zishuang is much more reserved, but her watery eyes are also full of strange looks.

Zhao Zijun shouted to ask for martial arts, and his face was soft and hard. Zhao Ziming was helpless, he had a plan, pointed to the heavy knife standing in the corner of the wall wrapped in strips of cloth, and said: "I am quite different from what you do, I have carried this weapon with me since I was ten years old to practice martial arts, you go to play a few times first, see if it fits, and then I will decide whether to teach you or not." ”

Zhao Zijun happily walked to the corner of the wall, stretched out his right hand and wanted to lift the heavy knife, but he didn't move, and after adding strength, he still didn't move.

He turned his head and met Zhao Ziming's smiling gaze, his face turned red, he also held the handle of his left hand, gritted his teeth, exerted his strength to eat, and slammed himself on the ground with a heavy knife.

The heavy knife was not mentioned, but Zhao Zijun was unstable because of the excessive force, and he stumbled backwards, and he didn't want to let go, so he fell down with the heavy knife, and his momentum was very urgent.

It was too late, it was fast, just when he was about to fall to the ground, Zhao Ziming suddenly appeared next to him, copied it with his right hand, put the heavy knife in his hand, and hooked the back of his neck with his left hand, he only felt a strong surge, and his body was lifted.

This time Zhao Zijun was so ashamed that his face turned red, and he snorted for a long time, and asked, "Brother Qianming, what kind of weapon is this? Why is it so heavy?"

Zhao Ziming put the heavy knife back in its place, his face turned white, he was injured, such a strong luck, extremely inappropriate, bowed his head and gasped for a moment, before he replied: "This is a family heirloom, the style is peculiar, there is no name, I will call it a heavy knife, it is a little heavy." ”

Zhao Zijun asked cautiously: "How much?" He knew that asking people such questions was already an important secret of spying on private individuals, and it was very inappropriate, but he always thought that martial arts were not weak, but he couldn't even lift a weapon from others, and he couldn't hang it on his face, so he couldn't help but ask.

Zhao Ziming understood his thoughts, shook his head and smiled, and said, "Eight hundred catties, your internal strength is one or two more layers, and it will not be a problem to mention it." ”

Zhao Zijun was dumbfounded, and after a while, he muttered: "No wonder, with my internal strength of the five layers, even if I improve one or two more layers, I am afraid that I may not be able to afford it, and I still have to practice for I don't know how many years." He had already asked Zhao Ziming's age before, and knew that he was not much older than him, but his ability was a hundred times better than him, and he couldn't help but hide his loss on his face.

Seeing him like this, Zhao Ziming was stunned, and an inexplicable emotion arose in his heart, as if he saw that his own brother had been hit hard, and he couldn't bear it and was pitiful, and couldn't help but comfort: "You don't need to be ashamed of yourself, I have this ability, thanks to my natural strength, with your age, if you practice hard, you will be able to achieve great achievements in the future." ”

Zhao Zijun shook his head and was silent, blindly lost. Seeing this, Zhao Ziming's mind turned, his face sank, and said: "You and I are both young people, you can't stand this blow?" When I practiced martial arts, I don't know how much hardship I suffered and how much sweat I had to have today's martial arts. ”

Zhao Zijun heard this, the look of loss disappeared, and he got up and said loudly: "I, Zhao Zijun, am a manly man, when are I fragile and coward......ly?" I ......"

He wanted to say, "I'm here to challenge you!" But after thinking about it, if you work hard, others will not stand still, and now that the gap is so big, how can you catch up with it after only two years?

Zhao Zishuang had been quietly watching the two of them from the side, she looked at Zhao Ziming, and then at her younger brother, suddenly pursed her lips and smiled, knocked on Zhao Zijun's head, and scolded: "You are a stupid melon." ”

Zhao Zijun's anger did not subside, but he never dared to lose his temper with this eccentric sister, touched his head and said depressedly: "Sister, what are you scolding me for?"

Zhao Zishuang said: "Qiangongzi said this, just to make you like a man, less spitting sour water here, instead of envy and jealousy, it is better to work hard and be brave and enterprising, you often fight with that group of fox friends and dog friends in the county on weekdays, only this little martial arts, who can you complain about?"

In one sentence, Zhao Zijun was shocked to lower his head and couldn't speak for a long time.

Zhao Zishuang didn't let him go, and asked, "What's the matter? Don't you often boast in front of your sister about how you are good? Why don't you speak?"

Zhao Zijun raised his head sharply and said, "Sister, I understand." He hugged Zhao Ziming again, "Brother Qianming, thank you for your reminder, if you don't dislike it, I will recognize you as a big brother." ”

Zhao Ziming smiled and said: "I'm older than you, and you won't lose anything if you're your eldest brother, haha." ”

Zhao Zijun was overjoyed, so he got up and left the room, went to the kitchen to bring two jars of wine, and came back to drink with Zhao Ziming. I don't want Zhao Zishuang to also intervene sideways, so I insist on bowing.

At the moment, according to the customs of the rivers and lakes, the three of them knelt on one knee, raised their glasses with their right hands, and bowed their knots, Zhao Ziming was the eldest brother, Zhao Zishuang was the second, and Zhao Zijun was the third brother.
