Chapter 291: Facing the Enemy

Everything is quiet in the night, and occasionally the sound of sighing and sighing can be heard, and it seems that the guards are not iron-beaten, and they will also chatting loudly in the silent and boring night.

Their voices are very quiet, because only a little loud noise will wake up Lihu from his dream, and if it disturbs Lihu's good dream, then they will suffer.

Xiong Yu gently knelt on the roof, he didn't dare to act rashly, as long as he made a little movement, he would be exposed, he was a confident person, but he was not confident enough to deal with everyone in Swallow Valley, so he could only wait, waiting for the most perfect time.

Xiong Yu's legs were already a little numb, and it was difficult to stay motionless on the smooth glazed tiles, as soon as he was careless, he immediately slipped off the roof.

Xiong Yu's hand was tightly attached to the glazed tile, his palm was originally very dry, but now his palm was slowly oozing beads of sweat.

When people are nervous, beads of sweat often ooze from the back of their palms, so now Xiong Yu suddenly found a terrible thing, that is, he was slowly sliding down.

Xiong Yu gritted his teeth and tried his best to keep moving, but his speed of decline did not decrease at all, but there was a tendency to speed up.

If he slipped off the roof, the consequences could be imagined, Xiong Yu's cold sweat was left instantly, and his eyes glared and he immediately used his fingers to clasp the gap between the tiles, so that he could stop sliding.

Xiong Yu's fingers moved slightly, and he was surprised to find that these tiles were not particularly strong, and he could uncover them with a little effort.

As long as he could uncover seven or eight tiles, he would be able to jump into the house from the roof, but when he lifted the tiles, he would make some noise, and if the sound was heard by the guards under the eaves, he would be in trouble.

Just when Xiong Yu was anxious, he suddenly heard a whispering voice under the eaves, Xiong Yu listened carefully, it turned out that these guards were changing the guard.

"Hu San's gambling game has begun, if you go back early, you can still make a bet. A newly arrived guard laughed.

The other standing guard opened his mouth wide and snorted, "Who the hell still has the energy to gamble, I want to get a good night's sleep." ”

"Where did Hu San gamble? I'm going to make a hand too. A skinny guard asked.

"You kid still want to go, you forgot how Hu San hacked your money to marry your daughter-in-law last time. ”

The thin guard waved his hand again and again, "That's his luck, this time I want to win back even the profits." ”

"You kid just daydream. ”

The thin guard looked up at Tiandao: "It's dark now, I can't dream for a hundred days." ”

Several of the guards around him immediately laughed in a low voice, and the thin guard said with a look of disapproval, "Look at it, I'm fully prepared this time." ”

The guards' minds were all used on Hu San's gamble, and no one noticed Xiong Yu on the roof.

After the change of guard was completed, Xiong Yu had successfully uncovered seven tiles, and a hole appeared in the roof that could barely allow one person to pass through, Xiong Yu took a deep breath and shrunk his abdomen, and then put half of his body into the hole with both hands, and then he disappeared into the roof as soon as he let go of his hands.

The moment Xiong Yu jumped off the roof, Xiong Yu lifted up with a breath, and then he fell lightly on the ground in the house, which is the supreme light skill that Long Hongguang taught Xiong Yu, if he practiced to the peak, he could even step on the snow without a trace.

As soon as Xiong Yu landed on the ground in the house, he immediately became vigilant, he didn't move, because his eyes had not yet adapted to the darkness in front of him, in addition to that, Xiong Yu didn't know anything about the layout in this room, so he couldn't act rashly, so as not to touch something to attract Lihu's attention.

Xiong Yu blinked vigorously before he could barely adjust to the darkness in front of him, and he saw that there was a large table a foot to his left, and if he accidentally landed on the table just now, he didn't know what would happen.

On a screen behind the table, Xiong Yu slowly bypassed the screen with the lightest steps, and then he saw a bed, Xiong Yu looked at it, and saw that there was a raised quilt on the bed, and it must be Lihu who slept in this quilt.

Xiong Yu slowly grasped the hilt of the sword at his waist, and then slowly approached the side of the bed, he wanted to stab the sword as fast as he could, so that Lihu could leave peacefully in his sleep.

Xiong Yu was already standing by the bed, his sword was drawn in an instant, and then his sword was pierced on the quilt.

There was no sound, no resistance, and Lihu died silently.

Xiong Yu's face suddenly became solemn, because his sword did not encounter a single obstacle when it pierced into the quilt, and what he pierced was as if it was a ball of cotton, which did not feel like a stab on a person at all.

Xiong Yu lifted the quilt instantly, only to see that there was nothing in the quilt, only an embroidered pillow, and Xiong Yu's face immediately turned pale.

At this moment, the room suddenly lit up, and at some point an oil lamp had been lit on the table, and the oil lamp instantly lit up the room, and Xiong Yu saw a broken pillow through the bright light, and there were traces of the piercing he had just made on the pillow.

Xiong Yu turned around suddenly, he saw a black shadow through the screen, this black shadow was sitting on the table, Xiong Yu was stunned, he didn't expect Lihu to be so cunning, there was no one on the stool just now, but now Lihu was sitting on the stool, Xiong Yu couldn't help but feel cold.

Through the screen, Xiong Yu saw Lihu raise the teacup, and then Xiong Yu heard the sound of Lihu drinking tea.

Xiong Yu stood motionless, he knew that he had lost this time, thanks to experience and impulse, and an old Jianghu like Lihu was really not so easy to deal with.

Suddenly, the voice of the guard came from outside the house, "Valley Master, do you have something to order?"

Then Xiong Yu heard a hoarse voice, which was like the sound of two iron tools rubbing against each other, which made people very uncomfortable to listen to.

"It's nothing, you stand down, you don't have to stay here tonight. Lihu said in a deep voice.

Immediately after that, the guard outside the door paused and said, "Obey." ”

"Come out, it's just you and me here. Lihu said with a smile.

Xiong Yu slowly walked out from behind the screen, and then he saw Lihu.

A middle-aged man who seems to be in his forties, with gray temples, a spirit in his eyes, and a look of disdain in his eyes, this is Lihu.

Xiong Yu's sword was still in his hand, and he stared at Lihu and said, "You are Lihu?"

Li Hu grinned and said, "Yes, if I was in that quilt just now, I might be a corpse now." ”

Without waiting for Xiong Yu to speak, Lihu continued: "It's a pity that I'm not in the quilt, and your sword didn't pierce my body, so it's not me who will die now, but you." ”

Xiong Yu frowned and said, "How did you know I was here?"

Lihu shook his head with a smile and said: "I can live until now by my own means, if I am so easy to be killed, then I am not Lihu." ”

Saying that, Lihu pointed to the cabinet next to him and said, "Where I sleep." ”

Saying that, Lihu got up and walked to the cabinet to open the cabinet, only to see that the cabinet was not what most people imagined, the space in the cabinet was very large, and there was a bed in the cabinet, which looked very comfortable.

There was a smile in Lihu's eyes, and he stared at Xiong Yu and said, "You are not the first person to come to kill me, and you are not the last, but no one knows this secret, do you know why?"

Xiong Yu paused and said, "Because those who know are dead." ”

Lihu clapped his hands and said: "That's right, so what you are making now is the mistake of the previous person, so your result will be the same as the previous person." ”

Xiong Yu suddenly smiled and said, "There are only two people here, you and me." ”

Lihu nodded and said, "Yes, I deliberately took them away." ”

Xiong Yu saw the sword that Lihu put on the table, it was a very narrow and thin sword, the body of this sword was only half the width of an ordinary sword, but this was a sharp sword, because Xiong Yu could feel a trace of coolness through the scabbard.

Li Hu casually put his hand on the table, his hand was only a few inches away from his sword, he could grab his sword at any time, Li Hu squinted at Xiong Yu and said: "I am a very reasonable person, so even if you are here to kill me, I have to ask why." ”

A hint of coldness flashed in Xiong Yu's eyes and said, "Do you remember Luo Qing and Yin Wanxue?" ”

Li Hu's body trembled suddenly, the smile on his face disappeared immediately, and Li Hu glared at Xiong Yu and said, "You are here for the two of them?"

Xiong Yu nodded, and Lihu continued: "Who are you?"

Xiong Yu's lips moved, "Friend." ”

Lihu slapped the table and said, "It's a good friend, but it's a pity." ”

Xiong Yu was silent, and Lihu continued: "It's a pity that not only can't you avenge your friend, but even you have to die here. ”

Xiong Yu smiled disdainfully, and Li Hu shook his head with a smile and said, "You don't believe me because you haven't seen my sword yet." ”

Xiong Yu looked at the sword on Lihu's table and said in a deep voice: "You have abolished Luo Qing's martial arts, and you are still sending people to kill him, what you have done is a little too extreme." ”

Lihu snorted coldly and said: "I said that I have survived until now by my means, and I can only kill those who resist me." ”

Xiong Yu's hand slowly grasped the hilt of the sword and said, "You're done?"

Li Hu looked at Xiong Yu's hand holding the sword and said: "If you feel that you have lived enough and can use the sword at any time, you will definitely regret it when I play the sword, regret that you drew the sword in front of me." ”

Xiong Yu smiled faintly and said, "I also want to tell you something." ”

Lihu smiled, and Xiong Yu continued, "You don't believe that I will kill you just because you haven't seen my sword yet. ”

Lihu laughed, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, he covered his stomach with his hands and said: "My stomach hurts from laughing, if you are talking, I may die of laughter." ”

Xiong Yu smiled, Li Hu suddenly felt a murderous aura, Li Hu instantly grabbed the sword on the table, and Xiong Yu also pulled out the sword on his waist at the same time.
