Li Xuan took Ling Long's hand and jumped into the garden.

The garden is desolate, full of artemisia grass, broken walls, and cobwebs. But Li Xuan has lived here for more than ten years, and he knows everything about every grass and tree, and every song has always been.

As soon as the two of them stood in the corner of the side room, they heard the sound of 'huhu' clothes, and two people had already jumped in from outside the garden wall.

The two of them tiptoed a few steps, and one of them whispered, "Brother Chu, if we hide in the main room and meet him, we will face him head-on." Wen Yan, surnamed Chu, nodded, and said: "The master you and I rely on has lost power, and at this time, Lao Lan let us go into the garden to hide, which seems to be unintentional, but in fact, it obviously puts us in a situation where it is impossible to escape." ”

When the person who spoke before heard this, he sighed in a low voice: "What Brother Chu said is that you are a person who understands. You and I have also seen that kid's martial arts, Lu Ran and Zhu Lian have high martial arts! Hey, aren't they also defeated and killed! So even if we set up an ambush and sneak attack here, it will be difficult to win. Look at it again, Lao Lan is on the roof outside the house, if the situation is not good, but they can go, and we are in the house, if we are blocked by that kid, it will be a turtle in the urn. ”

Wen Yan, surnamed Chu, nodded and said, "Brother Wang, don't you hate him when you see your master die in him with your own eyes?"

The man surnamed Wang said: "Chu Duanmeng, what are you doing mentioning that matter! My Wang Cheng's martial arts are not good, although I know that my master is like a mountain, but I can still see right and wrong clearly. Well, being a man and doing things, grievances and merits, my Wang Cheng is better than anyone else. ”

Chu Duanmeng smiled when he heard this: "I heard that kid once saved your life and let you go?" Wang Cheng sneered in a low voice: "You're right, haven't you received his life-saving grace in Taishan Lingfeng Cliff!" Chu Duanmeng said: "So ......" Wang Cheng smiled faintly and said: "So, since the fight is not a fight, it is better to wait for him to come, you and I deliberately make a noise to make him take precautions." Chu Duanmeng nodded and said, "The idea is good! This can not only repay the favor, but also avoid us from directly clashing with him." The two of them said, looked at the side room, looked at each other and said in unison, "This is a good place to hide." As he was talking, he heard the soft sound of roof tiles, and the people of Zhilan Ji'an went up to the roof.

Li Xuan listened to the conversation between the two, secretly amused, and said in his heart: "You two don't want to meet me, why do you break into my hiding place!"

He saw that the figure at the door of the wing room flickered, Wang Cheng and Chu Duanmeng had already flashed in, and he didn't hesitate, raised his two fingers in the middle of the meal, and sneered at the two of them to the ground.

Wang Cheng and Chu Duanmeng never dreamed that Li Xuan was hiding in the wing, but at this time, seeing Li Xuan and Ling Long looking at him with a smile, they couldn't help but fly out of the sky, and they wanted to ask Rao to speak, but they made a few sounds, and they were so frightened that they couldn't speak.

Li Xuan signaled the two of them not to panic, smiled and whispered: "Even if you still have a conscience, I won't kill you." By the way, where are Li Yuan's father and son now?" Wang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his life was safe, and when he heard Li Xuan ask where Li Yuan's father and son were, he shook his head and sighed: "Since the defeat of our two masters under your hands, we have also become annoying guards, how can we know where Li Yuan's father and son are." Chu Duanmeng nodded vigorously and said, "However, the emperor handed over the Jin Palace to Lord Li Yuan to take care of, and he often went to the palace to ask for a good visit. Li Xuan knew that the Jin Palace was set up by Yang Guang in Taiyuan Palace, and there were many stunning concubines and palace maids, although Li Yuan was good at wine and lust, but he did not dare to move evil thoughts about the emperor's concubines, but because of his duties, he had to go to ask for greetings, and it was possible to do something pleasing to him.

Chu Duan dreamed that Li Xuan was silent, squinted at the roof outside the house, and said in a low voice: "Among the people we came, I am afraid that only Lan Ji'an knows the whereabouts of Li Yuan's father and son best. Li Shaoxia, if you can ask them, you will definitely be able to ask. ”

Ling Long said lightly: "Don't make ghost tricks. Do you want to spend Brother Xuan fighting with people outside, so that you can take the opportunity to get rid of yourself?"

Chu Duanmeng smiled bitterly: "The girl is suspicious. Don't say that we are held by Shaoxia, and our lives are not guaranteed at any time, even if we meet Shaoxia head-on, with our martial arts cultivation, we will not dare to act rashly! Not to mention that Shaoxia has saved the lives of both of us!"

Ling Long thought about it, and saw that Li Xuan had already carried Wang Cheng and Chu Duanmeng to the corner of the house, and knew that he was going out to ask Lan Ji'an, so he said, "Brother Xuan, be careful, there are still a few people on the roof." Li Xuan nodded. Wang Cheng said: "There are not only Lan Ji'an on the roof, but also the two Dao Chiefs of Hongzhen Hongshi, Xu Sangu, and Lu Yiyi, they are lying in ambush there, planning to wait for the rabbit!" Li Xuan said with a smile: "Okay! They are fully prepared and want to kill me alive." ”

Li Xuan said to Ling Long: "You are waiting for me here, I will come when I go." Without waiting for Ling Long to respond, he had already slid out of the chamber silently, his body had not yet landed, and he pushed on the grass of Artemisia with one hand, and the whole person flew to the roof with the tip of the grass of Artemisia grass.

Hongzhen and Hongshi were lying on the roof, looking around, when they suddenly saw a flower in front of them, and a figure pounced. The two of them had first-class martial arts and quick reactions, although they didn't have time to draw their swords, they both slashed their swords, and without waiting for the figure to fly over, they shouted in unison: "Who is here?" Li Xuan couldn't help but sneer: "It's your old friend." "'Click' two soft sounds, the unsheathed sword of the two was slapped by Li Xuan, directly broken in the sheath, at the same time, Li Xuan's endless palm power had already been transmitted along the scabbard to their sword-holding hand. Li Xuan made a surprise move this time, although he only used seven or eight successes, but after these two palms were hit, it was no longer trivial. Hongzhen and Hongshi exclaimed in surprise, and under the huge earthquake, they had to drop their swords, but fortunately, Li Xuan didn't plan to take the lives of the two, so he stopped at the point. Seeing that the two broken swords were about to fall to the roof, he hooked his left hand and put the sword in his hand, and almost at the same moment, his right hand quickly pierced out from under his left arm, and used the thirty-six tricks of martial arts 'watching the fire from the other side' move, like wind and lightning to the hemp points of Hongzhen and Hongshi.

Li Xuan's move was clean and neat, without any mud and water, and he forced the two masters of the Taishan Song Wind Dao Sect with just one move.

Hongshi and Hongzhen tried their best to dodge, but they were still forced to breathe poorly by Li Xuan's thick palm, and when they wanted to dodge, how could they still be in time! The two of them were frightened, and when they looked around, they saw that it was Li Xuan, and they couldn't help but be surprised: "The young man is really good." Li Xuan smiled slightly, and jumped up, because at this time, Lan Ji'an, Xu Sangu, and Lu Yiyi had already heard the sound and leaped over. These three people were extremely alert, and they heard Hongshi and Hongzhen exclaim from a distance, and they knew that it must be Li Xuan who appeared, so when they leaped over, dozens of bone piercing nails shot out in their hands.

With a sharp sound, the bone nail shot at three sides.

Li Xuan didn't dodge or dodge, his left palm condensed qi and drew a semi-circular arc, and a wall of qi was gathered with a 'hum', and the bone nails shot out, ''Several sounds, like shooting on the surface of the quilt water, the rapid force was suddenly eliminated. When Lan Ji'an saw it, he couldn't help but shout in unison: "Good skills...... Spare your strong internal strength, can you still dodge our chain crossbow!"

Everyone shouted in their mouths, lowered their heads in the air, hooked the bowstring mechanism behind them with their right hand backhand, and only heard the sound of 'whooshing', nearly a hundred wolf's tooth feather arrows shot out in a row. The wolf's tooth feather arrows came from three sides, and it was not difficult for Li Xuan to avoid it, but if he avoided it himself, Hongshi and Hongzhen would definitely die under the arrows.

He picked it up with one foot, hooked Hongzhen and Hongshi, shook his left palm and threw it into the garden, and shouted: "Long'er, catch them." ”

Hongzhen and Hongshi felt that they were flying in the air, unable to move, and thought that Li Xuan was going to use their bodies to resist the feather arrows that were shooting, and couldn't help but secretly exclaimed: "My life is over." At this moment, he heard someone in the dark garden answer, and his figure jumped. This person rose in the air, and in mid-air, he had already pressed their waists, quickly pulled and turned in the middle, and at the same time, with a slight lift, most of the falling force was unloaded. The two of them were shocked, and their feet were already on the ground.

Li Xuancai rescued Hongzhen and Hongshi from danger, and the feather arrow had reached a distance of less than three feet in front of him. With a 'crackling' sound, feathered arrows hit the tiles one after another.

Lan Ji'an and the others didn't expect Li Xuan to be able to get out.

The three of them flew with the arrow, and before they could stand firmly, they saw Li Xuan standing on the other side of the roof with a smile. The night was silent, the earth was silent, and I only heard Li Xuanlang say: "A few old friends, why haven't you seen each other for many days, and give such a good gift when you meet?"

Lan Ji'an reluctantly smiled: "Although the gift is good, hey, but the young man avoids it, I think the gift is not to your liking!"

Li Xuan laughed when he heard this: "The three are smart people, and they are also people who have official duties, why did I come to Taiyuan, I think your lord has already explained it very clearly, so we won't be bothered." Master Lan, tell me, where are Li Yuan's father and son?"

Lan Ji'an said lightly: "What are you asking for?"

Li Xuan said: "It seems that you want to pretend to be confused! Okay, then don't blame me for being rude." He thought that since Li Yuan's father and son had repeatedly sent people to stop him, he must have been prepared. However, judging from the previous ambush set up by Lan Ji'an and a few people, Li Yuan's father and son were not sure that they had arrived in Taiyuan, so wasting their time here was a great opportunity to take them by surprise.

He saw that Lan Ji'an and the three of them scattered one after another, standing on the three roofs respectively, forming a posture of encircling him, and said coldly: "You guys can shoot together." Lan Ji Ansen smiled and said, "You still need to say this." He shouted to Xu Sangu and Lu Yiyi: "Kill him, let's go on an errand early." The three of them swept up and pounced on Li Xuan like eagles. You must know that earlier in Shaomu Mountain, Li Xuan had fought with Xu Sangu and Lu Yiyi in order to save Tang Bing, and the two of them were no longer his opponents when they joined forces, so even if Lan Ji'an, whose martial arts were not first-class now, it was just a prolonged defeat.

Li Xuan saw that Xu Sangu and Lu Yiyi's expressions were steady, and they made one move and one style, with a solid foundation, fierce and vicious, so that it was the Arhat palm and broom leg method of Shaolin Temple, and the purple gold wind chasing knife in Lan Ji'an's palm made it a chaotic cloak and grass knife method.

The three of them flew and pounced, and they used their own killer moves.

Li Xuan's face was fearless, and when he saw Lu Yiyi slashing his palm into his chest, he didn't dodge, raised his left palm, and everything was horizontal, and with a 'peng' sound, Lu Yiyi felt that his palm seemed to hit the copper wall, and he couldn't help screaming miserably, holding his wrist and counting down steps.

At this time, Xu Sangu's broom leg had also been kicked, Li Xuan's palm was not retracted, and he quickly cut down, and with a 'click' sound, Xu Sangu's iron leg that had been practicing for dozens of spring and autumn was cut, and the bone was broken and the flesh was split. At this time, Lan Ji'an's move was only half used, and his heart trembled when he saw this, and his move couldn't help but slow down by half a beat, and he was panicking, and the purple gold wind chasing knife in his hand had been snatched away by Li Xuan's hand. He screamed, and instinctively turned to flee, but felt a numbness in his back, and he could not move like a stake.

Ling Long raised his head, saw Li Xuan make a move, subdued Lan Ji'an and the three of them, and said with a smile: "Such three pus bags are going to besiege and kill Brother Xuan." ”

Li Xuan was like a javelin, holding a knife against Lan Ji'an's throat, and asked coldly, "Say, where are Li Yuan and Li Shimin now?"

Lan Ji was extremely panicked, but he pretended to be calm, and said with a faint expression: "Young Xia, you underestimate me! The safety of my lord is tied to me, how can I tell you." Haha, kill me. Hmph, I won't tell you if I kill him. ”

When Li Xuan heard this, he was furious, and when he saw that he was tough, he smiled instead of being annoyed: "You are bent on becoming benevolent, but I will not fulfill you." Hey, you're a man, so I'm going to see, as a tough man, in the end, you say it or not!" said in his mouth, condensing the inner breath in the tip of the knife in his hand, sneering a few times, hitting five or six acupoints on the back of his shoulder.

Lan Ji'an stood in place, unable to move, feeling that after a few acupuncture points on his body were pointed, he immediately felt as if thousands of ants were gnawing on the ground, and it was itching. His face turned pale, and he couldn't help but snort in pain: "You kill me, kill me...... Ah...... Itchy!" Li Xuan saw that he was very tough, although he was tortured and sweating profusely, he snorted a few times, he still gritted his teeth and didn't say a word, and the surrounding Xu Sangu saw Lan Ji'an's painful appearance, he actually forgot the pain of breaking his leg, and couldn't help but be shocked, seeing Li Xuan's eyes swept over, he smiled bitterly: "Shaoxia still spare Lao Lan!" Li Xuan heard the words: "You say, where is Li Yuan's father and son, I will spare him and let you go." ”

Xu Sangu said in despair and pain: "They are on the Seven Star Tower next to Jinyang Palace. ”

......

The night of this Taiyuan city is hazy and beautiful, and the moonlight shines on the inside and outside of the city without reservation, and the first tallest building, the Seven Star Tower, is illuminated as a giant.

Li Xuan didn't want Ling Long to go upstairs with him to take risks, so she reluctantly agreed to answer outside the wall downstairs. Li Xuan carried out light work, jumped into the high wall, dodged three or five patrols, and flew upstairs quietly.

The seven-star building is about 30 zhang high, not only strong and magnificent, but also luxurious and fine. This building was originally a place used by the evil emperor Yang Guang to admire the moon, but now it seems that it has become a place where Li Yuan often comes. Li Xuan didn't know what floor Li Yuan's father and son were on, so he had to catch a maid and ask, only to know that he had come at the right time, because Li Yuan, who came out of Jinyang Palace drunk tonight, was so bold that he wanted to stay in Qixing Tower overnight.

Li Xuan lightly jumped up to the thirteenth floor, approached the window along the cornice, and looked inside, seeing nine golden candles illuminating the room as if it were day. The interior of the house is exquisitely furnished, showing the luxury of the royal court everywhere, from a small lamp and a pot to a large screen pillar, everything cannot be described in words. At this time, there was silence in the room, and a middle-aged man in a sauce-colored brocade robe leaned on the chair of the Rosewood Taishi, graceful and lazy. Li Xuan saw that the middle-aged man's face was as white as jade, his nose was straight and his mouth was square, and his slender eyes under two thick eyebrows looked drunk, but he was bright, and not far from the middle-aged man, there was a person standing bowed. This man is heroic, graceful and calm, although he is respectful, he can't hide his extraordinary temperament. This person is none other than Li Xuan, who has seen it several times and now hates the second son Li Shimin to the bone.

When he saw Li Shimin, his heart was full of anger, he couldn't bear it anymore, and was about to break through the window, but he heard Li Shimin say slowly: "Today, there is no way in the Lord, the people of the four seas are poor, and the desire for peace and prosperity has become more and more prosperous, not to mention Hebei and Henan, but there are battlefields everywhere outside Taiyuan City. Father, you have been preparing for this for many years, and now that the forces of the rivers and lakes have been almost eradicated, when we use a little trick to catch and kill that Li Xuan, the rivers and lakes will definitely enter the era of dragons without a leader, and no one will dare to take the lead in setting up a gang and raising a banner. Why are you hesitant at this point?"

Li Yuan, a middle-aged man sitting on the Taishi's chair, sighed: "Twenty years ago, a hundred-year-old ghost found me, and the changes of nearly a hundred years before and after were deduced in front of me. Li Shimin said: "What about the results of the deduction?" Li Yuan's eyes penetrated the window, and he said slowly: "A hundred-year-old ghost said that in twenty years, the world will be the world surnamed Li, but our Li family will have a bloody disaster." ”

Li Shimin was shocked when he heard this: "What kind of bloody disaster?" Li Yuan shook his head and sighed: "This is the most mysterious heavenly opportunity, even if the hundred-year-old ghost has extraordinary skills, he can't deduce the cause of the disaster. Li Shimin said curiously: "Could it be that you started to lay out the rivers and lakes 20 years ago and implemented the 'enveloping and strangling' plan, just to eliminate the bloody disaster 20 years later?"

Li Yuan nodded and said, "Actually, there was another result of that deduction twenty years ago. Li Shimin said: "What is the result?" Li Yuan said: "After the deduction of the hundred-year-old ghost, it is concluded that the descendants of the declining Jitian Sect will not only prosper the rivers and lakes, but also have an important relationship with the Li family's blood-light disaster...... Alas...... Extreme Heaven Gate ...... Bring the scourge of blood. ”

Li Shimin asked in surprise: "The descendants of the Extreme Heaven Sect?"
