Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 144: Shishi is not only the best in beauty and art
Yang Yuan paddled a small boat on the quiet river.

The river ahead was getting narrower and narrower, and since both sides were residential areas, people could already walk along the river.

Even if they occasionally passed by a house, the house was directly on the ground and there was no place to stand, but the man in the straw raincoat could still pass through nimbly by climbing through the stone cracks and window frames.

Yang Yuan suddenly pushed the boat into the water and jumped to the other side.

The man in the straw raincoat had just jumped over the cracks in the rocks to a stone staircase leading into the water. Seeing that Yang Yuan was trying to escape, he swung his hand and spun his straw raincoat like a wheel, hitting Yang Yuan.

At the same time, he leaped up and pounced towards Yang Yuan.

Unexpectedly, Yang Yuan knew that he could either fight with force or continue to escape, as he was seriously injured, he could not do either, so he had to use a strategy.

So his leap to the bow was just a feint. As soon as his feet left the boat's surface, he lured the man in the straw raincoat to attack, and then he fell back to the bow.

The bamboo pole left the water, creating a few water droplets.

The sharp tip of the pole had already stabbed towards the spinning straw raincoat like a spear.

The man in the straw raincoat jumped into the air, raised the iron bone flower and smashed it towards the bow of the ship.

With a "puff" sound, the sharp tip of the pole pierced through the straw raincoat and stabbed towards the person in it.

The man in the straw raincoat originally wanted to use the straw raincoat to stop Yang Yuan from jumping up, but he didn't expect that at the same time it also blocked his eyes and ears, concealing Yang Yuan's actions.

He was in the air, unable to move, and had no time to retract the Iron Rod he had swung out. He could only tilt his body, and the sharp tip of the pole avoided his chest, but pierced his shoulder.

The man in the straw raincoat screamed in pain, fell to the bow, and swept the iron sword in his hand towards Yang Yuan.

Yang Yuan turned his hand knife upside down and blocked his blow. However, the light hand knife could not match the force and power of the blunt weapon. Yang Yuan's hand knife was almost knocked away. Fortunately, he used the thicker back of the knife to block it.

But Yang Yuan knew that he had little chance of escaping given his current injuries, so he knocked the iron bone of the man in the straw raincoat open with his knife, then turned the blade around, slid along the iron bone and slashed towards his head.

The man in the straw raincoat wore a bamboo pole on his left shoulder, which also made it difficult for him to move.

He used the guard of Tieguduo to knock Yang Yuan's hand knife, causing the knife to bounce back, and at the same time he bent down and dodged downward.

The rain hat on the straw raincoat man's head was cut off and a piece of his scalp was scraped off, and blood splashed down.

With the help of the dim lights in the water on the shore, Yang Yuan suddenly saw that this was a man with shaved head and temples, and two braids at the back of his head.

Golden man?

When Yang Yuan saw such an obvious sign, he immediately understood his identity.

Thinking of the conspiracy that Eunuch Li had talked about in the meeting hall of the "Qiyun Society", this conspiracy also involved the Jin people...

The thought flashed like lightning, but his actions did not stop at all.

Yang Yuan cut off the rain hat of the man in the straw raincoat with a knife. Seeing his iconic golden hairstyle, he was not at all slowed down, but threw himself into the arms of the man in the straw raincoat.

The two men fell heavily to the bow together. The golden man was horrified and suddenly let go of Tieguduo, opening his arms to grab the sides of the boat.

It turned out that this man couldn't swim and seldom took a boat, let alone such a small boat!
The boat was hit by the two men and began to shake violently on the water. It looked like it was about to capsize, which scared the Jin man.

This Jin man was also unlucky. He was a secret spy of the Jin Kingdom's most powerful secret spy organization "Xue Fu Tu". He was very powerful and was no match for Yang Yuan.

However, Yang Yuan's brain worked faster than his. He made full use of everything around him to create opportunities and judge the timing. He even made use of the straw raincoat he threw out after the lure.

As a result, the valiant and warlike Blood Buddha secret agent was shot by Yang Yuan first.

Even so, Yang Yuan, who was also seriously injured, was no match for him, but this golden man was afraid of water.

The violently shaking boat made him feel extremely frightened. His first reaction was to grab the sides of the boat, but he ignored Yang Yuan on his body.

Yang Yuan has always believed that his kung fu skills are limited, especially since he has only been practicing for a short time. His strength and reaction are not as good as those of warriors who have been immersed in this art for many years. Therefore, from the beginning, he regarded himself as a weak person.

The weak will not miss any opportunity, because that is his biggest chance to turn the tables.

So after knocking down the Blood Pagoda, Yang Yuan immediately raised his knife.

At this moment, the Jin people opened the door and grabbed the side of the boat with both hands.

Yang Yuan stabbed him with a knife.

"Ah!" The golden man cried out in pain. His instinctive fear of water was immediately suppressed by the severe pain.

He grabbed at random and caught Tieguduo.

But at this time Yang Yuan was in his arms.

Yang Yuan held a short knife, which made it easy for him to exert force. However, he was tall and had long arms, and he was holding an iron-bone sword in his hand, so his force was completely ineffective.

Yang Yuan stabbed again. Xue Futu's eyes were wide open with anger. He occupied the middle position of Tieguduo and hit Yang Yuan's back hard with "bang bang" like beating a drum.

Yang Yuan was hit so hard that blood spurted out of his mouth, and the blood sprayed on his face.

The "Blood Pagoda" had its scalp shaved off, its face covered in blood, and it could not see anything. After being sprayed by Yang Yuan, it could not see anything at all.

Yang Yuan didn't care about the pain he inflicted on himself and just kept stabbing him.

The Blood Buddha's martial arts were obviously superior to his, but he ended up in such a miserable situation. He used all his remaining strength to hit him hard on the back, wanting to drag him to death together.

The two people on the boat wrestled with each other, and the boat, without anyone controlling it, drifted with the current...

……

Liu Mo has noticed something wrong with his body these days.

Originally, although he hated Madam Li, he was not so eager to take revenge on her.

Besides, he had difficulty moving at that time, let alone taking revenge.

But the last time his father took him to the Shuiyunjian restaurant to see Dan Niang, he heard people talking about "Mrs. Li."

Liu Mo was not sure whether this "Mrs. Li" was the same Mrs. Li who moved away from the "Moshanghua" embroidery workshop.

After finding out that there was something seriously wrong with his body and that he was afraid his life would be ruined, Liu Moru was struck by lightning and felt that his life would be boring.

Therefore, his resentment towards Madam Li reached a limit that could not be increased any further.

He hated and wanted revenge. He felt that only by taking vengeance on Mrs. Li would his life have some meaning.

From that day on, he kept his eye on the area near the "Shuiyunjian" restaurant.

Until today, when Li Shishi came back from her visit to "Shuiyunjian", he quietly followed her.

Li Shishi said sternly, "Liu Mo, if I had reported you to the police last time, you would have spent ten years in jail. I let you go for your father's sake, but you are still stubborn and refuse to change. Do you want to stay in jail?"

Liu Mo grinned and said, "Going to jail is nothing. I'm not afraid of death now. Do you see this stick?"

Liu Mo raised the goose egg-thick wooden stick in his hand and sneered: "You kicked me so hard that I can't be a man anymore. Today I will use this stick to clear your three orifices!"

His venomous eyes wandered over Li Shishi, and he licked his lips and said, "If you can still survive, then you should live. I'm sure you will never forget this feeling. I don't care whether I live or not. I am living a life worse than death now~~"

Liu Mo screamed, raised his stick, and rushed towards Li Shishi...

……

In front of her was a crazy man who only wanted to take revenge on her without regard for the consequences. It was impossible for Li Shishi to say that she was not afraid at all.

It was just her character and reason that prevented her from screaming in despair like an ordinary girl at this moment.

She held her breath, and waited until Liu Mo swung the stick and rushed towards her with all his strength, leaving her no time to change her stance, before she tried her best to dodge to the side.

With a "crack", the wooden stick hit the guardrail of the pavilion, cracking it. The wooden stick bounced back and hit Liu Mo's forehead, making him dizzy.

But now he only wanted revenge, and this obsession made him not ignore Li Shishi who was about to escape.

He stretched out his right hand and grabbed Li Shishi's wrist, then pulled her back violently, grinning, "Want to leave? No way!" Li Shishi was pulled back by him and staggered sideways onto the seat inside the guardrail.

Liu Mo raised the stick and grinned, "Madam Li, do you want to take the blow first from above, or from below..."

Just as he said this, his eyes suddenly shifted, and he was speechless, holding the wooden stick in his hand.

Li Shishi was not willing to miss this good opportunity, so she raised her knees...

It's still the old place I haven't seen for a long time.

Liu Mo let out a strange cry, "Ah!", but the sound died away as soon as it came out of his mouth, because his useless egg was also broken.

Liu Mo was suddenly suffocated by the pain and couldn't even shout. He curled up on the ground like a shrimp, twitching.

Li Shishi turned over and stood up from the seat, turned her head to the side, and glanced over. Immediately, she was stunned like Liu Mo just now.

A small boat was floating outside the pavilion, and due to the undercurrent, it was spinning in place.

On the boat, a man was lying face up on the bow with a tall bamboo pole sticking out of his body. In the dim light, no one knew where the pole had stabbed him.

On top of him, there was another man lying with a knife in his hand, stabbing him in the ribs again and again.

The sound of the sharp blade piercing through the body was extremely terrifying.

The man whose body was stabbed was holding an iron bone flower tightly in his hand and was beating the back of the man holding the knife.

But he obviously had no strength left, and the hammering gradually stopped, but his arm was still trembling slightly as the other party stabbed into him.

"Finally, I killed him."

Yang Yuan felt that he was about to die. He gasped for breath like a fish that had been pulled ashore and glanced towards the shore.

Then he saw a bright light on the pavilion pillar, and a beautiful mermaid was standing in the light.

"Mrs. Li...?"

Yang Yuan, who was about to faint, suddenly became alert: "Madam, save me!"

Mrs. Li exclaimed in surprise: "Erlang?"

Yang Yuan struggled to get up, pulled the bamboo pole from the golden man's body, and used all his strength to put it on the pavilion railing.

Mrs. Li understood what was going on at once, and without caring about the blood on the tip of the pole, she reached forward, crossed over the tip of the pole, grabbed the pole and pulled it toward her, pulling the boat under the pavilion.

Yang Yuan grabbed the already cracked pavilion railing with both hands, and with all his strength he flipped inward, rolling onto the wooden seat of the pavilion railing.

Then, he saw Liu Mo curled up on the ground like a big shrimp.

This scene... is somehow familiar.

“Is he a golden man?”

The boat was pulled under the pavilion. With the help of the light from the pillar, Li Shishi saw the hairstyle of the man on the boat at a glance.

She originally wanted to ask Yang Yuan what happened, but after seeing this, she had already guessed a little bit.

She didn't know that Yang Yuan's identity as "Imperial City Bureau" was fake.

When Yang Yuan first came to invite her to be a female teacher, he said that in order to make his father accept Dan Niang, he wanted to make Dan Niang have a more noble temperament.

But when he introduced his identity, he said that he was an investigator from the Imperial City Bureau.

This is to avoid revealing one's true identity when Li Shishi and Dan Niang are chatting.

Because what Dan Niang knew about him at that time was that he was also a soldier in the imperial city.

Later, when he and Li Shishi were blocked in the tea room, when he explained the truth to Li Shishi, he only clarified that he and Dan Niang were a couple.

In Li Shishi's eyes, he was still a soldier of the imperial city.

Who else could be the Jin man who was fighting for his life with a royal soldier on the boat?

Of course, he was a traitor from the Jin Dynasty who was captured by the imperial guards.

"Are you seriously injured?"

Li Shishi squatted down and wanted to check the injury on Yang Yuan's back, but when she put her hand on his ribs, Yang Yuan twitched in pain.

Only then did Li Shishi discover that there was blood under Yang Yuan's ribs, which did not look like they were soaked in blood, but rather seeped out from the inside.

At this time, Yang Yuan could no longer hold on.

When a person is at the critical moment of life and death, he or she can only hold on to the state of being strong by willpower. Once this strength is exhausted, it can no longer be maintained.

However, although Yang Yuan was extremely weak, his brain was in an extremely clear state.

He had expected to die, so there were many things he didn't want to think about, as there was no point in thinking about them.

But now that he has escaped, the secrets he heard in the council hall will be of great use.

However, once a secret is leaked, it is no longer a secret, and the other party will inevitably make new plans.

Unless, they think the secret is not out.

Thinking of this, Yang Yuan grabbed Li Shishi's hand as she was about to check his injuries.

He stared at Li Shishi and said with difficulty: "You... must hide this Jin corpse and don't let anyone find it. Go to... Lu's... mule and horse shop in Houshi Street overnight and find Ya Ge. Tell him... tell him to find a way to steal a corpse tomorrow, destroy its face so that it is difficult to recognize, and then... abandon it with the Jin corpse..."

Li Shishi was so clever that her eyes flashed as she asked, "Do you want to give your enemies the illusion that you are dead?"

Yang Yuan nodded and stressed: "This is related to... the country, please... don't neglect it..."

Yang Yuan couldn't hold on any longer. The injury under his ribs, the heavy blow to his back, the tension of many days, and the excessive exertion tonight made him faint all of a sudden.

"Erlang, Erlang..."

Li Shishi called out twice, but Yang Yuan remained silent.

Li Shishi felt his breath and found that he was still breathing. She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"This is related to the country, so I need to fake my death..."

Li Shishi looked at Yang Yuan, then at the hideous corpse of the Jin man on the boat, and then cast her eyes on Liu Mo who was unconscious on the ground...

The lamp cast light and shadow under the pavilion.

On the ground in the pavilion, the light cast a graceful figure.

The shadow raised a stick.

If you look closely, you should be able to tell that it is not a stick. Judging from the shape of its head, it is an iron bone.

Then, the figure clenched the Iron Bone Flower and smashed it towards the figure lying on the ground.

The figure on the ground suddenly woke up in pain, struggled for a moment, and then fell limp and motionless under Tieguduo's heavy blow.

One, two, three, four...

Cruel, accurate and steady!

Just smash a living person's face until he dies, without mercy.

People at that time praised her, saying: "Shishi is not only extremely beautiful and talented, but also generous and manly. She is famous for her chivalry and is known as the 'Flying General'. She is also a shining figure in history!"
