Chapter 387: Tracing the Roots
Li Yihang's head was dizzy, and he rode on the donkey and pondered: "Zhao Yuanyuan keeps sending people to take my life, should I return to Changsha quickly, or do not stop trying to find her, and kill her with a sword? No matter what, I am injured now, and I have to find a place to recuperate." Zhao Yuanyuan's unpredictable prophet's ability is not omnipotent, and if I hide, she may not be able to find me. At that moment, I found a farmer, gave the master two taels of silver, and rested and recuperated in his house. Sure enough, a few days passed, and no one came to harass him.
Li Yihang learned a little herbal medicine knowledge from Chen Dashan at the foot of Huangshan a few years ago, and he made a few common Chinese medicinal materials, fried them and drank them, and his body seemed to be a lot better.
Thinking in his heart: "Zhao Yuanyuan is annoyed that I ruined their good deeds, killed Qi Liren, and tried every possible way to take my life, although she sent three groups of people to kill me, but they all failed to do so, and I couldn't guess the ending, that is to say, she is not omnipotent, I secretly went to her to find her bad luck, she will not know, the next time someone comes to me to trouble, I will plan, pretend to be captured by them, take the opportunity to approach, and a good sword will result in her." ”
Make up your mind, say goodbye to the farmer, and continue eastward. Passing through a small county town called Peiling, he entered a small restaurant to eat, he was worried about being besieged upstairs, and after ordering food, he moved two chairs to sit at the gate to eat, and the diners who came in and out saw it, all cast strange eyes, Li Yihang just couldn't see it, bowed his head to eat, and buried his head in drinking. After eating a full meal, Xiao Er asked Xiao Er to settle the bill, and Xiao Er ran over and bowed down and said, "Guest officer, a total of seven coins of silver." Li Yihang reached into his arms to take out the silver, and suddenly there was a flower in front of him, and a dagger stabbed him in the head, Li Yihang had been careful for most of the day, every time someone approached, he unconsciously held the long sword in his left hand, but the shopkeeper was difficult, but he couldn't estimate it. Dian Xiaoer went from drawing his sword to stabbing it out in one go, without the slightest stop in between, and he was definitely the first-class master today.
Fortunately, Li Yihang used to be a top master, although his skills were gone, his reaction was still there, his head was tilted, the whole person fell backwards to the ground, his right hand grabbed the space in this fall, and pulled out the jade girl sword and swung it horizontally. That person may know that the jade girl's sword is powerful, and he can't retreat immediately with a move, Li Yihang took the opportunity to stand up, and at this time, in addition to the shopkeeper in front of him, there was also a fat man in a blue silk dress who looked like a rich man guarding behind him, and the two of them blocked him in the lobby of the restaurant one after the other. Li Yihang asked, "Who are you?" The shopkeeper in front of him said, "Goddess Peak Mo Cheng." The fat man behind him said: "The goddess Feng Haike is here." Li Yihang said: "I have been looking up for a long time, the two masters of the Goddess Peak, I don't know when I, Li Yihang, will tie up with you, and I will be killed as soon as I make a move?" He first picked out the name, hoping that they would retreat in the face of difficulties.
Mo Cheng said gloomily: "It turns out that you are Li Yihang, haven't you been very beautiful in the past few years, how can you now fall to the point where everyone shouts and kills?" Li Yihang said: "Knowing my name, master, why are you still so bold and rampant?" The fat man Heike came to laugh and said: "Li Shaoxia, this sword in your hand is worth a lot, we originally intended to risk our lives in exchange for it." Mo Cheng said: "There is also your life, someone has designated it." Li Yihang said: "I don't know if you want to capture me alive, or do you want to go and see me?"
Mo Chengdao: "Of course, it is best to be captured alive, if you resist desperately, it is not impossible to carry the corpse to see it." Li Yihang said: "That's great, I'll let you capture me alive." Heiko said, "That's great, you put down your sword and wait to be captured, and we won't embarrass you." Li Yihang smiled slightly and said, "Let me kill one of you first." When Mo Chenghaike heard this, he laughed in unison, and one said: "Do you think that you are still Li Yihang, who used to show off his martial arts all day long, you are just a stinky guy who has lost his skills, is useless, deceives good and fears evil, and can strangle to death with one finger." Li Yihang secretly said in his heart: "Sure enough, it was the tiger who fell into Pingyang and was bullied by the dogs, and it was even more humiliating to report the name, maybe they knew it was me." Didn't you hear that my long sword was powerful before I came, why were you still so arrogant, could it be that Yue Yuanyuan only told people about my weaknesses, but not my strengths? That's right, most of the time, just caught me off guard to kill you!"
Thinking of this, he raised his head and smiled: "Is it a waste, you go down and ask Lord Yama." The two shouted in unison: "Stinky boy, we looked at you a few years ago and left you to this day, it is considered a grace, take your life quickly!"
Li Yihang has never had experience in dealing with soft whips, so he didn't dare to swing his sword to sharpen it, in case the sharpening was constantly entangled, the long sword would be taken away immediately, and this little life would really have to be frozen. The whip shadow came, extremely powerful, he hurriedly rushed out to the left, snapping two crisp sounds, and two soft whips hit the air, making a heart-wrenching sound.
They knew that the long sword was as hard as clay, but they were not afraid, which showed that the soft sword was not afraid of the long sword, so only close combat could prevail and solve them. Li Yihang thought that the fat man was stout and might not be so flexible, and after dodging the two whips, he jumped up sharply when he saw the gap, and the long sword was picked up by Heikelai as his chest, and the fat man didn't know what he wanted, and quickly retreated and swept the soft whip, and Mo Cheng raised the whip and slashed at the back of his head. There were attacks in front and back, Li Yihang eagerly hooked a long wooden bench with his left leg, met the soft whip of Heikelai, followed his body and rolled forward, dodging the long whip behind him, and swung his sword to cut Heikelai's legs.
The soft whip in Haikelai's hand rolled up on the bench and couldn't be taken back for a while, seeing the long sword sharpening his feet, he had to retreat again, Li Yihang took the opportunity to stand up and raise his sword to attack Mo Cheng. The three of them attacked back and forth in the not wide lobby to dodge, all the tables and chairs overturned and overturned, although they were all inconvenient to move, but Li Yihang was more affected, and after a long time, he was whipped on his back, and the whip body had inverted serrations, and his clothes were torn immediately, the skin and flesh were turned over, and the blood flowed. Even so, Li Yihang didn't feel any pain, his life was about to die, so how long did he feel pain?
But a whip reminded Li Yihang that he couldn't run against them, and he couldn't beat them, and if he fought like this, it would be a dead end, since there were serrations on the whip, maybe the blade of the sword could eat the soft whip and would not be entangled by it. Seeing that the fat man Heike was slightly inferior in martial arts, he hooked up the bench again and threw it at him, and when the soft whip was around, he rushed forward, the fat man thought that he was going to stab himself again, and hurriedly dodged, Li Yihang's long sword immediately cut off the whip, and the boots at this time were tighter, the long sword fell, and with a small sound, the soft whip was broken. Li Yihang was overjoyed, dodged the whip from behind him and shook his body up, and the long sword struck again.
This sword came so quickly, the soft whip in Heklai's hand was broken in half, the power was greatly reduced, and it was not easy to move, and he did not choose the way in the panic, and was tripped by the upside-down long chair, and his retreat was blocked, and he saw the long sword stabbed, and his left palm slapped towards the sword body. The long sword had to be taken off when he was shot, Li Yihang immediately withdrew the long sword, kicked out with his right foot, hooked the fat man to the ground, and took advantage of Mo Cheng's soft whip before he swung it, and raised his sword to stab Hakelai in the chest.
Mo Cheng was eager to save people's hearts, jumped over the overturned table, rushed behind Li Yihang, and hit the head with the whip, if the other party did not dodge, although the whip was soft, hitting the skull, it would definitely be able to lift the skull away. In this moment of lightning, suddenly the enemy turned back, the dark red long sword in his hand pierced his chest, this sword came really unexpectedly, unbelievable, like thunder and lightning roaring, when he reacted, he had no way to retreat, nowhere to avoid, the soft whip in his hand did not fall, the long sword has penetrated his chest!
This backstabbing is a "worry" in Shushan's swordsmanship, and Li Yihang is also an instant, not to mention that Mo Cheng feels abrupt, and he also feels incredible.
The moment the long sword pierced, Mo Cheng didn't even have time to scream, he really felt a cold heart from the jade girl sword, he charged his left palm, and when he was dying, a palm was slapped out, and with a bang, Li Yihang was knocked away in the air, and fell to Hai Kelai's side, Hai Kelai didn't know that Mo Cheng was dead in a panic, and saw Li Yihang fall to his side, his right hand was broken and struck at the ground, the two were too close, Li Yihang couldn't react too much, and raised his sword to his wrist.
If Heiko didn't stop this blow, his wrist was already broken, and he didn't swing the whip yet, so he hurriedly withdrew his hand, and jumped up, and saw Mo Cheng lying in a pool of blood, he was shocked and didn't think much about it, and raised his whip to hit the enemy.
Li Yihang also took advantage of this opportunity to stand up. In addition to the worries, it was much easier to fight with Heklai, the long sword stabbed left and right, and in a moment Haikelai's left arm, right arm, left leg and right leg were all injured, wanting to save his life, he didn't pick him to stab. Eventually, Hecle couldn't even move, and fell to the ground to die. Li Yihang pointed at his acupoint with chopsticks in his hand, found a rope to tie him firmly, put him on the donkey's back, and left in a hurry before the officers and soldiers came.
Li Yihang led the donkey to a medical center, and left the city immediately after treating the wounds of the two. When he got to the middle of nowhere, he said to Hecker, "Who gave you the killing warrant, and where did you do it afterwards?"
"There is a small town twenty miles to the north, and when we are done, we will meet at the house of the rich man in the town, and the rich man will want us to kill you. "In order to survive, Heiklai did not dare to hide it a little.
Li Yihang asked: "Since you know that I am Li Yihang, how many have you heard of my reputation and deeds, how can you still accept it?" Haike said: "The rich man said that you have lost all your skills, we think that no matter how good your martial arts are, there is no need to be afraid if you don't have skills." Li Yihang asked again: "How can you believe him, if I didn't lose my internal strength, didn't I think about the consequences of doing such a big risk?"
Hei Kelai was silent, and only said after a while: "Actually, we didn't know who you were beforehand, and we didn't know it was you until we connected with you, but at that time, it was difficult to ride a tiger, so we had to face the difficulties." Li Yihang said: "Hehe, face the difficulties, your courage is so big, in case I don't lose my skills, three or four moves can kill your life, now I want to go to kill the king and the rich man, you better be obedient, a little bit of luck, it will be a sword through the heart." Heike hurriedly said: "You must listen to the young man's orders." ”
After the two discussed, Li Yihang came to the town with Hai Kelai and changed his outfit, and Li Yihang pretended to be a subordinate who served Hai Kelai. When he went to the gate of the rich man's house, he went up and knocked on the door, and the servant opened the door, and Heiko came to ride on the donkey, and the servant saw that it was him, and hurriedly invited the two to enter. Li Yihang helped Heike to sit down in the marching hall.
After a while, the rich man Wang came to the hall, this guy with a full face, five big and three thick, he saw that Hai Kelai was covered with injuries, and asked in surprise: "Second Brother Hai, why don't you see Brother Mo, has the task been completed?"
Heiko said, "Outside of the king, that kid has been killed by me, and my eldest brother has unfortunately died. The rich man stood up and said with joy, "The man is dead, which is very good, but what about the head?"
"I didn't have time to bring him back, we fought for a long time to get his life, and then the officers and soldiers arrived, not to mention cutting off his head, and my eldest brother's body didn't have time to take it away, so I almost couldn't escape. Haklai's face was heavy and his tone was sad.
The rich man said: "Then how to confirm that the stinky boy is dead, there is no proof that this is not dead?" Haike said: "This is not simple, go to the county yamen to take a look, depending on your relationship with Lord Liu, you can see it as many times as you want." However, the rich man Wang didn't know Li Yihang, and asked him to go to see the corpse and identify the person, which was useless. "What's the matter with Wang Yuanwai, didn't you want my brothers to kill him, why don't you even know him, isn't this hurting us?"
The rich man said: "Second Brother Hai, don't be impatient, can't I go to see it with someone who knows the stinky boy?" He asked Haike to wait in the hall and call someone out of the hall himself. After a while, there was a faint fragrance of white lotus in the hall, and a woman dressed up, her waist was like a willow branch, her face was like a peony blooming, graceful and graceful, Hai Kelai and Li Yihang couldn't help but look stunned. This woman is Zhao Yuanyuan, Li Yihang saw that Zhao Yuanyuan's face was not real that night in Shushan, and at this moment he saw her standing in front of him like a fairy, and his heart was extremely amazing: "This Zhao Yuanyuan is really a stunner in the world, no wonder Qi Liren abandoned Qingzhu for him, and countless high-rollers in the rivers and lakes were willing to listen to her orders to come to kill me, and they were not afraid of losing their lives." Right now, she's right in front of her, do you want to do it?"
Zhao Yuanyuan's big watery eyes looked at Haike, and he saw that he had seen the world so that his heart beat faster, and his blood was churning, Zhao Yuanyuan said softly: "Please describe the situation of the fight and killing at that time." Heike came back to his senses, added oil and vinegar to the scene of killing Li Yihang, and finally said: "Please ask this girl to go to the yamen with the king to conduct an autopsy to confirm her identity." ”
Zhao Yuanyuan's eyes were glazed, as if he wanted to see through Heikelai's heart, and said lightly: "This fat brother, the two of you are a mess, why do you turn around?"
Heikelai's face changed greatly, and he reluctantly stood up, and said, "What did the girl say this, who was so defeated, and how did he turn the words around? My brothers lost their lives to kill this man, and you ...... You ......" The rich man Wang was also full of questions, his eyes shot at Zhao Yuanyuan, I don't know why she said this.
