Chapter Twenty-Six: Return to the Heart Like an Arrow

Seeing that Li Guo was playing happily on the stage, in a hurry, Gao Jie slowly paced to the ring, pretending to be cold, and coughed loudly.

Li Guozheng was full of spirit and killed, and suddenly heard a familiar voice coughing rapidly, as if he had tuberculosis, and even his heart and lungs were about to cough out, he peeked at it, but saw Gao Jie sneaking to the ring at some point, coughing, while aiming at him fiercely with small eyes, and blinking and frowning from time to time.

Li Guozheng wanted to ask Gao Zi whether he was suffering from a cold or an eye disease, but suddenly he was blessed to his heart, remembered Gao Jie's advice beforehand, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat in his vest.

Li Qingdong saw that his eldest grandson, Li Haoye, who he valued the most, had fallen behind, he was shocked and anxious, and his hands rubbed together, as uneasy as an ant on a hot pot. Suddenly, I saw Xiao Li, who had just wheeled a black iron gun weighing seventy or eighty pounds like a windmill, as if he had immediately changed someone, and the black iron gun in his hand seemed to suddenly weigh dozens of pounds, dancing more and more slowly, and Li Haoye finally took a breath and gradually pulled back the scene.

Soon, with a loud "bang", I saw a black iron gun flying into the sky, making several circles in the air, and then landing on the hard ground under the ring, stirring up a cloud of dust.

And Li Guo also jumped under the ring in embarrassment, shook his hands wildly, and shouted: "No, it's boring, you're amazing, I admit defeat!"

Then he also acted in a full set, as if he couldn't withstand the blow of failure, crying dad and shouting into the arms of Gao Jie on the side of the ring, howling and crying.

Gao Jie also patted his back with his right hand, softly comforting.

But he was angry in his heart that Li Guo almost exposed his strength, and his left hand secretly used the long sleeves to cover, grabbing the flesh on Li Guo's waist and twisting it to death.

Li Qingdong looked at these two actors with some suspicion, after all, he is also a master of the Li clan, and he always feels that Li Guo's defeat is quite suspicious, but he can't say anything wrong. Of course, he would not believe that Li Guo would be stronger than his eldest grandson Li Haoye.

After thinking about it to no avail, he didn't think much about it, turned to Li Shouzhong and smiled: "Brother Shouzhong, I didn't expect you to be able to cultivate such outstanding children and grandchildren in a poor and remote place, which really makes me admire! ”

Li Shouzhong was not sad or happy, and said humbly: "Brother Qingdong has a good reputation, it is fortunate that they don't embarrass me, and next year I still have to watch Haoye and his brothers gallop on the field!"

While the two were chatting, a family member came from outside the martial arts arena and said loudly to Li Qingdong: "Master, the third elder has arrived and has already come to the martial arts arena!"

When Li Qingdong heard this, his face turned pale, and he hurriedly said to Li Shouzhong: "Come with me to greet you, it's Li Qingcheng, the third elder of the clan, who has arrived!"

Li Shouzhong was also taken aback when he heard this, greeted the three little ones, and followed Li Qingdong to the outside of the martial arts field!

Before they could reach the door, a shrill laugh came: "Hehe, Brother Qingdong, are there distinguished guests at home?

Before the words fell, an old man in a white robe walked into the martial arts field, this person was short, very thin, his face looked pale and old, with a hint of sickness, his beard was all white, and he seemed to be nearly seventy years old.

When Li Qingdong and Li Shouzhong saw this person, they hurriedly bowed their hands and said, "I've seen the three elders!" The children who followed behind them also bowed together.

The person who came was none other than one of the three most powerful elders of the Li clan besides the patriarch, the third elder Li Qingcheng.

Li Qingcheng is the youngest son of the late old patriarch, and in the clan competition forty years ago, he defeated the group with his elusive "Xia Ren Swordsmanship", and finally won the third place, which can be described as one of the top masters of the Li clan. Don't look at this person's sickly face, as if he couldn't help but be weak, the Li family's secret "Xia Ren Swordsmanship" was cultivated by him to a very high level, and with a blow from the long sword, it was less agile than ordinary swordsmanship, and more ruthless and weird.

The "Xia Ren Sword Technique" is one of the highest martial arts of the clan, and non-core disciples cannot cultivate it, so its power is naturally not trivial. At that time, Li Qingdong was just an ordinary clan disciple, and he was not qualified to practice, let alone a member of a side branch family like Li Shouzhong.

Li Qingcheng smiled, and modestly replied: "It's all my own family, don't be polite!"

Immediately, he looked at Li Shouzhong and asked, "Who is this distinguished guest?"

Li Qingdong hurriedly introduced: "He is Li Shouzhong of Li Jiqianzhai, and when he met by chance in Jinfu Building today, he brought his family to a gathering, and by the way, let his children and grandchildren meet friends with martial arts and learn from each other!"

Li Qingcheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said with joy: "It turned out to be a loyal brother! I haven't seen him for decades, his complexion is very good, and his majesty has not diminished back then!"

Li Shouzhong listened, and hurriedly bowed and said: "Where is it, I am just a country gentleman who has no power to restrain chickens, how dare I mention the word mighty, the third elder praised it falsely!"

Li Qingcheng was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly said: "Oh! Decades ago, the old man is a little forgetful, by the way, after you lost all your martial arts, haven't you been able to recover some more?"

Li Shouzhong shook his head with a smile and said: "Not at all, once the sea has passed, and I am very good now, thank you for the third elder for remembering!"

Li Qingcheng showed regret on his face and choked his wrists.

Li Qingdong interjected and asked, "Third Elder, are you looking for me in a hurry?"

Li Qingcheng let out an "ah", as if he had just remembered something, and said to Li Qingdong: "In the past ten days, the Ai family has sent a large number of people to search around the county town mysteriously, and the actions are very suspicious. The Yonghe Li family also sent people to pay close attention. This morning, the patriarch convened our three elders to discuss together, our Li family in Tai'an Li can't be blind and deaf, and we must find out the truth about the Ai family's actions as soon as possible. You are in charge of the clan restaurant inn business, and it is the most important place to gather intelligence, so I came to discuss and arrange this matter with you!"

After finishing speaking, Li Qingcheng hugged his fists at Li Shouzhong and said, "Brother Shouzhong, I have an urgent matter to discuss with Qingdong, and I will come to greet you when I am done, okay?"

Li Shouzhong hurriedly said: "Thank you Third Elder, no need, I also brought a lot of helpers here, and I will leave to go back soon, next time I have the opportunity to bother again, Shouzhong will leave!"

Seeing this, Li Qingcheng was not forced to stay, so he and Li Qingdong sent Li Shouzhong and others straight to the gate, and then went back to the courtyard after saying goodbye with their fists.

After Li Shouzhong gathered all the helpers, he took the caravan and prepared to return to Changliang Bay.

The caravan drove on the streets of Mizhi County, and Li Shouzhong rode in front, silently if he had something on his mind.

And Sanxiao sat in the carriage, but he was always excited, and kept talking in a low voice about the matter of learning from the children of Li Qingdong's family this time.

In this battle, although Li Hongji and Li Guo didn't understand why Gao Jie asked them to deliberately release water, they were still full of confidence and were excited all the way.

Just as the two of them were boasting about how good they were, Gao Jie suddenly asked, "Two heroes, do you know why I let you show weakness?"

Li Hongji and Li Guo stopped talking for a moment, and looked at the unfathomable and profound Gao Jie.

Gao Jie saw that the atmosphere suddenly became solemn, and said indifferently: "It's actually very simple, there is no problem with you in the clan competition in the village in half a month, but the clan competition in a year later is the most critical." Li Haoran and Li Haoye are just second-rate characters among the clan's disciples, and you haven't seen the real core disciples yet. Only by preserving your strength today and cultivating more diligently after you go back can you ensure that the two of you will be a blockbuster in the clan competition and fulfill your uncle's wish that he failed to fulfill back then!"

Li Hongji nodded again and again when he heard this, and Li Guo couldn't help but ask: "Gaozi, where did you get so many fancy intestines, I didn't think about it a year later!"

Gao Jie smiled, pretending to be profound, and replied after a while: "I'm the legendary Brother Jie, don't worship me!"

Li Guo waited for a long time for this answer, and immediately started to move, Li Hongji also rolled up his sleeves to join, the carriage was narrow, even though Gao Jie was a peerless light skill, but the hero was useless, he was immediately subdued, and he was told again and again.

Just when the three little ones were playing, they suddenly felt the ground tremble, the sound of horses' hooves, as if there were thousands of horses rushing to attack, the streets of the county suddenly chickens and dogs jumped, and the pedestrians on the road dodged to both sides.

Li Shouzhong also hurriedly took the caravan to avoid the side of the street, and in an instant, a cavalry team of about 100 people waved their flags and bright armor, galloped through the streets, and drove towards the city gate, and the dust raised made the people cover their mouths and noses.

Through the carriage window, Gao Jie vaguely saw the back of a person in front of the cavalry team, but the horse team was too fast and there were many people, and before he could carefully identify it, a very uneasy feeling immediately rose in his heart.

In fact, when Li Qingdong's family met the third elder Li Qingcheng and learned from him that the Ai family had sent a large number of people to search for something, Gao Jie was secretly a little anxious.

On the day Xiao Zhuxin was chased and killed, according to the killer's weapons and martial arts moves, the Clearance Master suspected that they were the Ai family from Mizhi County, and this time the Ai family's search operation was only related to Xiao Zhuxin's rescue, so he had to go back quickly to inform the master and his family, and make arrangements as soon as possible.

After the cavalry team was over, Li Shouzhong continued to lead the caravan to Changliang Bay.

In the carriage, Gao Jie was restless, making Li Hongji's uncle and nephew think that he had hemorrhoids.

How can they understand that at this time, Gao Jie can't wait to put on his wings and fly home immediately, which is really like an arrow.

He prayed secretly that it was still too late.
