Volume 2 The Tiger Returns to the Deep Mountains Chapter 396 Night Encounter
Li Yichen leaned alone in the corner of the ruined temple, where he and his sister had slept. There are still straws covered here, the left side of the straw is thick and the right side is thin, the thick side is naturally for Li Xiyun to sleep on, and there is a little cotton wool on it, and the thin side is for him to sleep on.
Li Yichen vaguely remembered that every late at night, he would be woken up by the biting cold wind. But when he saw Li Xiyun's sleeping face, it seemed that any suffering was nothing at this moment! No matter how difficult it was, he could get through it!
Now the cotton wool on the straw is gone, but this pile of straw is still the same as it was back then, thick on the left and thin on the right. Li Yichen sat on the thin side and stared blankly at the lonely tomb outside the temple, he took off the wine gourd on his waist and drank the wine by himself.
The liquor entered his throat, and the choked Li Yichen couldn't help coughing. I don't know if it's because the wine is too spicy, Li Yichen's eyes turned red unconsciously.
"Perhaps, Talent and I shouldn't have entered that inn in the first place. Li Yichen muttered to himself.
The lonely tomb in front of the temple gate was extremely simple, with only a tombstone carved out of wooden boards and a few dusty cold steamed buns, not even a single piece of yellow paper!
And on that tombstone, there are four big characters engraved in blood: Qinglian's Tomb!
Li Yichen smiled self-deprecatingly, raised his head and poured a sip of strong wine, this time he was not choked by the wine, but a touch of drunkenness appeared on his face. Li Yichen had heard some Confucian scholars say that borrowing wine could dispel his sorrows, and he had already made up his mind at this moment that if he heard such remarks again in the future, he would beat this person up first, lest this kind of person continue to talk nonsense!
Borrowing wine will not eliminate sorrow, it will only add to sorrow!
Li Yichen spilled the wine in the gourd on the ground, and shouted with drunken eyes: "Sister Qinglian! I killed Zhao Ankang to avenge your blood and revenge, and you blocked a sword for me today to save my life! You said that the two of us don't owe it, but in my heart Li Yichen, I owe you! However, now that yin and yang are separated, I can't repay your kindness, so I can only pour you some wine to make up for you! Hehe, Sister Qinglian, don't call me stingy, isn't this Tianluo City, I can't enter it! I can't spend it even if I have silver! But don't worry, after I take off Jing Hong's head in the coming day, I will definitely dig up the bodies of their Jing family ancestors from the imperial tomb and let you live in them!"
Li Yichen put a straw in his mouth and then muttered: "Sister Qinglian, and your inn! When I go back and wait for Lao Tzu to become the emperor, I will definitely renovate your inn! Look at your inn, there are not a few tiles left, if it rains and snows, the inn is not much better than the outside! By the way, there is also the name of your inn, what is the name of Tongxin Inn! This is too cheesy, Tongxin? Tongxin opens a black shop! Go back and let that kid Li Tiantian rename you, he loves to do this thing the most!"
Li Yichen's voice became smaller and quieter as he spoke, until he fell silent. He looked at the lonely grave not far away, and his heart was touched, Qinglian's husband died in front of her, and her daughter also died in front of her, leaving her alone to live until now. For so many years, all she thought about was revenge, and she had lived in her hatred. At the moment when Qinglian breathed, Li Yichen saw only relief in Qinglian's eyes, no pain.
Why? Why don't poor people like Qinglian live long, while wicked people who do a lot of evil can live well in the world?
It is said that good will be rewarded with good and evil will be rewarded with evil, and it is not that the time has not yet come for not retribution, but when will this retribution come?
Li Yichen's chest suddenly surged with thousands of sword qi, and the soul sword roared endlessly, he couldn't wait to slash this filthy world with a sword! But he still held back after all, and the sword was never unsheathed.
"Alas!"
Li Yichen sighed deeply, and the sword sound also fell silent. He shook his head with a wry smile, tied the wine gourd around his waist, and no longer muttered to himself, but began to pick up the straw on the ground.
At this time, it was getting late, Li Zhichen was seriously injured, and I don't know how many officers and soldiers were chasing and killing him outside! So Li Zhichen planned to spend the night in this ruined temple tonight, and when his injuries were better tomorrow, he would return to the inn to find a meeting of his talents.
Li Yichen hesitated, he did not sleep on the side with more straw, but continued to sleep in the original position where he slept.
Suddenly, the past came to his mind, Li Yichen's hand was placed in the empty space beside him, and he muttered to himself: "Sister, where are you!"
Drunkenness and sorrow blended, coupled with the physical exhaustion and excessive injury, Li Yichen only felt that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier as if he had hung two hammers, and before he knew it, he was asleep!
I don't know how long I slept this time, and Li Yichen felt something slapping his face all the time when he was half-asleep and half-awake. He opened his eyes in a daze, and by the dim moonlight he seemed to see three figures standing in front of him!
Li Yichen shuddered and instantly lost his sleepiness, and then he remembered that he was not out of danger yet! He subconsciously touched the Soul Sword beside him, but he found that the Soul Sword that he had placed beside him was gone! Not only was the Soul Sword gone, but even the phoenix tail sword that he had been hanging on his waist was gone!
At this time, one of the three people standing in front of Li Yichen smiled and said to the person in the middle: "Big brother, this kid is awake!"
The man in the middle kicked Li Yichen's leg and shouted in a low voice, "Get out, be quick!"
Li Yichen saw clearly that these three people were not wearing iron armor, but were wearing tattered clothes, obviously not the black armor army that was chasing him. Li Yichen breathed a sigh of relief and struggled to get up from the ground.
Li Yichen looked at the three people slightly, and the one in the middle was with a tiger's back and a face full of meat, and at a glance he knew that he was the leader of these three people. And the two men next to him, one short and fat and one thin and tall, don't look like ordinary people!
Li Yichen didn't know the details of these three people, and he was not in a hurry to reveal his identity, his eyes turned, and a flattering smile appeared on his face: "If the three eldest brothers have any orders, just say it, there is nothing to say!"
The sturdy man spat on the ground and said unabashedly mockingly, "It turns out that your kid is a coward! It's a shame that you still have two swords, it's really a loss for such a good sword!" the sturdy man said as he wiped the Soul Sword with his own hand, his eyes shining with greed.
The corners of Li Yichen's mouth were slightly hooked, and he hurriedly pretended to be embarrassed and said: "Isn't it to strengthen my courage when I go out with a sword!
"Jianghu people? just you? hahaha! You think you are the Jianghu people with a sword on your back!" the short and fat man sneered.
Li Yichen not only did not refute, but nodded solemnly, and asked rhetorically: "Otherwise?"
The short and fat man was stunned for a moment, as if he was stopped by Li Yichen's words, and he didn't know how to answer.
The tall and thin man snorted coldly and said to Li Yichen: "Boy, don't say it's useless! Do you know who the three of us are!"
Li Yichen shook his head and looked at them suspiciously. Seeing this, the tall and thin man continued: "Let me tell you, the three of us are real Jianghu people, and we have big things to do here! We have been living in this temple for the past few days, but tonight we found that the place where we slept was slept by you, you tell me how this matter should be over!"
Li Yichen was so amused by the tall and thin man's words that he almost laughed, and after sleeping here for a few days, this place would be theirs! If that's the case, then what should he say about how many years he has slept in this broken temple?
Li Yichen had already guessed at this time that these three people were probably some ruffians who were doing some abusive acts, and even if he was seriously injured and wanted to kill these three people, it would be nothing more than blowing. However, Li Yichen didn't have the intention of killing now, so he didn't have the idea of killing them, but asked extremely cooperatively: "How do the big brothers want to end it?"
As soon as they heard Li Yichen say this, the three of them glanced at each other, and they all saw joy in each other's eyes! In their eyes, Li Yichen was a fat sheep full of treasures! Although the three of them were not very capable, they still had this in their eyes! Not to mention anything else, the two swords that Li Yichen carried with him alone were not ordinary at first glance! Any one was worth fifty taels of silver!
The sturdy man at the head coughed lightly, cleared his throat and said: "Little brother, walking outside is not something that can be strengthened by pretending to be brave with two swords! In this way, I won't tell you the truth, the three of us brothers are all figures with heads and faces within a hundred miles of Luocheng on this day! As long as you give us these two swords, you will be our brothers in the future! If someone dares to bully you, you report the names of the three of us, no matter who that person is, they will never dare to touch a single hair of you! How about it?"
Li Yichen sneered in his heart, but said with a pretended hesitation on his face: "Really, is your reputation really so big?"
The tall and thin man hurriedly nodded in response and said, "Yes, I don't believe you went out to inquire who dares to provoke our brother in this radius of a hundred miles?
Li Yichen raised his eyebrows and exclaimed: "Great! Don't hide it from your eldest brother, I really provoked someone in the next few days, so I hid in this wilderness! If your eldest brother can settle this matter for me, then these two swords will naturally be handed over!"
The three of them looked at each other and asked in unison, "Who is it?"
Li Yichen smiled evilly, and said quietly: "When the son of heaven, Jing Hong!"
"What?" The three of them asked again, not knowing whether they really didn't hear clearly or couldn't believe their ears.
Li Yichen's words were straight and round, and he said word by word: "Emperor, Jing Hong!"
"You... Are you making fun of us?" the corners of the man's mouth twitched.
Li Yichen laughed loudly, but it was no wonder that they were shocked, and anyone who heard about provoking the emperor would be shocked! After all, that was the emperor who would decide life and death with one word! But he would provoke it! Not only would he provoke him, but he would also take off his head and sit on the throne himself!
