Chapter 164: A Fire
The candlelight was still burning in the room, the light was dim, and the evening breeze blowing in through the cracks in the window almost extinguished the candlelight. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Wu Tiansheng was silent after listening to the story of the Li family told by Li Mu.
Unexpectedly, this is the case.
After Li Xunhuan, the Li family has experienced two generations of Li Manqing and Li Bad, although it has gone downhill, but there are still people in the Li family who inherit Xiao Li Feidao. But since Li Bad's death, not only the Li family's flying knife skills have been lost, but the Li family has suffered repeated disasters and everything is not going well, not only moved away from the Tanhua Mansion engraved with the couplet "One Door Seven Jinshi, Father and Son Three Tanhua", but also quickly disappeared in the rivers and lakes.
Later, an old man surnamed Ye found Li Yu and secretly left him a secret book of flying knives, but instructed him not to reveal the flying knives.
"Since Xiao Li's flying knife stunt is back in the Li family, why do you want to keep it secret?" Wu Tiansheng asked, his throat dry.
Because the old man surnamed Ye and his father both thought that there must be an extremely powerful dark force deliberately suppressing the Li family. Now that the Li family is in decline, the righteous forces in the rivers and lakes are weak, so they must not be exposed in front of people and attack prematurely. My father even hid it from me, and it wasn't until not long ago that he taught me the Li family's flying knife skills in full, not just the basic breathing method when I was a child. Li Mu replied.
"Is this the disaster that the Li family broke and the family that we experienced together?" Of course, Wu Tiansheng will never forget that disaster, the beginning of that time that involved him in this chaotic rivers and lakes.
"Perhaps. Li Mu exhaled and looked at Wu Tiansheng, his eyes shining eagerly. "To revive the Li family and get rid of the nightmare, you can't rely on flying knives alone. We need Peacock Feather!"
Wu Tiansheng looked at the slightly chubby face and shook his head.
Li Mu was stunned, his face was ugly. "You have nothing to do with Peacock Villa. In addition to Baiyun Temple, it is the Li family that is closest to you. What we have to do now is not harmful to Baiyun Temple. Why can't you tell the difference between relatives and distances?"
Wu Tiansheng said slowly: "That's right. What does Peacock Villa have to do with me? It is you who have a relationship with Peacock Villa, and it is you who have a relationship with the owner of Qiu Villa. ”
Li Mu's body shook, his eyes were gloomy, and he fell on the candle flame.
"The near-fatal throwing knife on the Qiu Zhuang master is yours?"
Li Mu slammed the table and said angrily: "It's not mine!"
Wu Tiansheng was relieved but a little more confused and lost, and said: "That should be Mr.'s......"
Li Mu shook his body, sat down again, and said in a hoarse voice: "I don't know, don't ask me." ”
The two were silent for a moment.
"The Peacock Feather is extraordinary, and I can't imagine what it would be like to have a new Peacock Feather in the hands of other forces. For example, the Purple North Town of the Dragon Alliance. Wu Tiansheng said.
"We're only working with him, not with him. The peacock feather will only be in our hands. Li Mu replied.
The corners of Wu Tiansheng's mouth showed a hint of sarcasm. "So what is Zibei Town trying to do with you at such a large cost?"
Li Mu frowned. "Do you want to stand on the side of the Blue Dragon Society?"
Wu Tiansheng said: "I am standing where I stand. Neither the Blue Dragon Society, nor the Dragon Alliance. I don't like them fighting for territory, annexing the weak, and excluding dissidents. ”
"For the sake of our Li family's kindness to you, and for the sake of the two of us, you don't need to do anything, just leave Shentiezhuang tonight, and we will repay your losses twice. Li Mu's tone turned cold, and he was very unhappy to see Wu Tiansheng so stubborn.
Wu Tiansheng's heart was like a knife, he didn't expect the reunion to be such a situation. "I will find a way to repay the kindness of you and Mr. But what you want me to promise tonight, I can't promise. You're playing with fire. ”
Li Mudeng stood up and asked, "You don't think about it anymore?"
Wu Tiansheng shook his head. Li Mu didn't speak again, turned around and left.
Li Yu and Zibei Zhen were waiting in the room when they saw Li Mu pushing the door and coming in. The inquiring gaze turned to Li Mu.
Li Mu shook his head.
Li Yu sighed and said to Zibei Town: "I'll go again, pull down this old face, and beg the former students to take a step back." ”
Zibei Zhen's eyes flashed brightly, and at an angle that Li Mu couldn't see, he made a knife slashing gesture.
In such a dark and starless night, if a fire is lit, you must be able to see it clearly, Li Mu walked out of Li Yu's room, and suddenly found that his back suddenly lit up, and when he looked back, it was actually a fire. The direction of the fire is the house where Wu Tiansheng lives.
Li Mu's heart tightened, and he showed his light skills like a bird in the night, quickly and silently, and swept back to the place just now. On the way, I saw a figure that was a little familiar, extremely fast, and left in the opposite direction, and when Li Mu arrived, he saw that Wu Tiansheng's house had been engulfed in flames, and the heat of the flames made it difficult for people to approach. Li Mu wanted to rush in, but the raging flames blocked him from the burning door.
Li Mu was so anxious that he shouted his natural name again and again, but only the sound of the fire collapsing the roof responded to his shout.
The people of Shentiezhuang had already arrived, and water, sand, and all kinds of fire-fighting things were constantly being transported, and the people were loud and noisy.
Li Mu's voice quickly became hoarse. In the face of the raging fire, his heart became colder and colder, shivering with cold, and he sat on the ground, numbly driven aside by the people who rushed to put out the fire.
Li Yu and Zibei Town also arrived.
Li Mu's fingers trembled and pointed to the fire that was still burning tenaciously, and grinned: "You succeeded." Congratulations!"
Li Yu's face sank, and he pulled Li Mu and whispered, "What nonsense are you talking about?!This is not what we did. ”
Li Mu stood up tremblingly, and turned to leave in despair.
Li Yu said to Zibei Town: "You arranged it?"
Zibei Zhen shook his head, he looked at the fire, his mood was complicated, he didn't know whether he was happy or worried. It's a big fire, who will help? Zibei Town doesn't like things to be out of control, even if the result is what he wants. This fire is too strange.
Li Yuhu looked at Zibei Town suspiciously, quickly hid his suspicions, and said with a smile: "No matter what, our plan is going smoothly as usual." ”
Zibei Town smiled bitterly.
The next day, Li Mu was in a trance, his eyes were blurred, and he was forcibly awakened by Li Yu, Li Yu saw his appearance, wanted to reprimand him but was a little unbearable, and said in a low voice: "Shentiezhuang said that there was a corpse in that house, which had been burned black and could not be identified. ”
Li Mu's face turned pale and he didn't say anything. Li Yu put a bowl of porridge in front of him and said, "He was born blessed with great fortune, not necessarily his corpse." This matter is strange, and we still need to investigate. ”
"Check, how to check, find out the truth, can I face it?" Li Mu laughed more ugly than crying.
Li Yu came up with a sigh of anger. "You still doubt your father!"
"Don't doubt, don't dare to doubt. ”
Li Yu was about to slap him, but suddenly Li Mu stood up suddenly, the table was inadvertently overturned by him, and the stone bench was knocked over.
Li Mu rushed out all of a sudden, leaving Li Yu stunned. (To be continued.) )
