harmless youth like me

When the Shen family was wiped out, no one thought that there was a thief hiding in the kitchen.

This is a little thief named Li Tangong, who followed his master for less than half a month. The old thief stealing incense and jade felt weak in the middle of stealing incense and jade. He went up the mountain to recuperate. The little thief wanted to follow him. Peeking over the wall of the Shen family, the third concubine of the master of the Shen family, Shen Tianfang, didn't know if it was because of bad eyesight or something, but she smiled at him.

He felt that the third wife was definitely in love with him, so he sneaked into the "Shen Mei Garden" without hesitation.Unexpectedly, such a thing happened before midnight.

The other party came in like twenty or thirty, all covered their faces, and killed anyone they saw.

The leader was a squirmy guy, in black clothes and black hat, of medium build, as if his nose was irritated by the smell of blood in the air, he kept sneezing, and took out a small snow-white handkerchief to cover it, impatiently Quickly urged: "Are you ready? Hurry up. Watch closely, don't let any one go!"

Li Tangong peeked from behind the crack in the kitchen door, and thought the sound was a bit strange, then thought: Oh, he is a eunuch!

The eunuchs were looking for people from room to room, and the pine torches were crackling, casting the cold shadows of the killers on the blood-stained path.

The eunuch repeatedly emphasized: "Grandpa Hai has passed on his behalf, especially the younger ones, so that there will be no future troubles."

Li Tangong was so anxious that he lost his mind, he got back into the rice vat where he hid just now, and jumped out again: blind people can see this place.

He wanted to lean on the beam, and found that his lightness skills were not enough to jump up; he wanted to hide in the water tank, but the tank was full of water, and if he didn't hold his breath, he would die; he even wanted to be coiled in a steamer , I am afraid that I will be steamed.

In such a flash, a child staggered out from behind the stove, with grass clippings all over his head, rubbing his eyes and looking sleepy.

Li Tangong rushed over to pick up the child with a stride, and jumped into the furnace.

There were many Shen family members and the stove was tall, but even so, the cramped hearth almost squeezed Li Tangong to death.He tried his best to shrink his body into a flat one, with his chest in his mouth, his butt clinging to the bottom of the pot, and the child under his arms.Fortunately, the bottom of the pot and the ashes were cold, otherwise the two must have cooked quickly.

"Hush! The monster is here, whoever speaks will be eaten." When the child moved, Li Tangong hurriedly whispered in the child's ear: "Anyone who moves will be eaten.

The kitchen door was kicked open with a "bang", followed by a rustling sound. The rice and water tanks were smashed, the woodshed was set on fire, the shelves were overturned, and the steamer was moved down and thrown into the fire. , fortunately no one came to the hearth to take a look.

Afterwards, the entire Shenmei Garden burned, and the flames reflected half of the sky red. No one asked, and no one came to put out the fire. The fire burned for a whole night.

It was not until the next morning that Li Tangong dared to crawl out with the child.He is smart, because just half an hour ago, there were two finishers looking for fish that slipped through the ruins.

Li Tangong sat slumped on the ground with his face covered in pot ashes, and the child was not going anywhere clean. He stared at a pair of big black and white eyes and said, "What's wrong with you?"

"My back hurts." Li Tangong said, "In order not to crush you, I poked my butt inside for half a night, and now I feel that my waist and butt are not my own."

"I'm hungry," said the child.

Li Tangong said weakly: "You little heartless, do you know that your whole family is dead?"

"Brother, I'm hungry."

Well, this child is stupid, and the rich man's family will inevitably have one or two stupid sons.

Li Tangong struggled to get up, and took out a piece of cake from his arms, "Eat it, let's go our separate ways after eating, I'll go back to my master's house, and you, you can go wherever you want... Eat slowly , don't choke."

"Oh, fortunately, you are stupid. Don't think about revenge in the future. Those people are not easy, especially the eunuch. These years are really reversed, and demons and ghosts are rampant. Forget it, don't talk about it, talk about it. Lose your head. In short You can't deal with eunuchs daring to kill people so blatantly. Since you survived by chance, live a good life, grow up, plant a few acres of land, marry a stupid wife, give birth to a bunch of stupid children, and live in peace. Forget about the night completely. By the way, what's your name?"

"Shen Ah Jiu."

"Ah Jiu, let's go, let's go find something else that can be used?"

The ashes of the Shen family's old house were still smoking, the house collapsed, and there were two charred corpses on the ground, Li Tangong hurriedly covered Ah Jiu's eyes to avoid it.

In the living room stood a white stone screen, although it was also smudged black, the carver might be worth two bucks, Li Tangong wanted to move it to the pawnshop to collect some money for Ah Jiu... Suddenly, a piece of paper protruded from under the screen. A bloody hand grabbed Li Tangong's foot, Li Tangong screamed and jumped several steps.The man was coughing and breathing hard.

"Ah Jiu, don't go there!"

"It's Grandpa Lu." Ah Jiu said.

The person lying under the screen is the butler of the Shen residence.Coincidentally, behind the screen is a ditch about one foot deep and about ten feet long, in which some water is stored.When the Shenmei Garden was built many years ago, Mr. Feng Shui said that the ditch can gather wealth, and the screen can block the leakage of wealth.Based on his understanding of this family, Steward Lu fell into this ditch after being stabbed in the abdomen, and escaped the ensuing fire by relying on the darkness and shallow water.

He's getting old, and he's exhausted by now.

"Young master...Yangming..."

"What?" Li Tangong put his ear up.

Butler Lu held his last breath and said, "Young man, please... send the young, young master... to Xiaoyao Mountain... Wuji Palace... Immortal Yangming..."

Li Tangong shook his head and said: "What is Yangming Daoist? What is Xiaoyaoshan Wuji Palace? It's bad luck for me to meet this kind of thing. My martial arts are poor and my body is weak. One more thing is worse than one less thing. Don't make things difficult for me." Me, I will sell Ah Jiu to a good family..."

He stopped suddenly, because Housekeeper Lu had already passed away.

He anxiously grabbed the dead man by the collar and shouted: "Old man, don't die! Open your eyes and look at me, I am a thief. I still have flowers on my head. Which thief still puts flowers on my head these days? I Not a good man, I'm a flower thief! Look, how can you give me the child? Old man? Hey, old man!"

Ah Jiu asked: "What?"

Li Tangong thought he was unlucky, and smiled wryly. He asked Ah Jiu, "How old are you?"

Ah Jiu said, "I don't know, Mother didn't tell me."

Li Tangong said: "Silly boy, your mother loves you the most. She must have recited a lot of sutras when she gave birth to you, so that you can escape from death in the future, so you don't have to be sad."

He pulled up the child and said, "Let's go, find some real Yangming. This dead ghost thinks that I promised him. If I don't do it, he will definitely sue me in front of Lord Yan. Tsk, what Xiaoyaoshan Wuji Palace, where is it?"

Ah Jiu followed behind him ignorantly, Li Tangong wiped the black ash on his face with his sleeve, and walked out of the already ruined Shenmei Garden dejectedly.

They left for about an hour, the group went back and forth, and searched very carefully several times.The eunuch was not there, and one of Kong Wu's powerful subordinates asked, "Shen Tianfang has a six-year-old grandson, did you meet him last night?"

The group of people thought about it for a while, then shook their heads and said, "There are quite a few children, but none of them seem to be six years old."

"Damn, bad," sweat began to ooze from the strong man's forehead, "It's probably let him run away. If we let our ancestors know that we are not good at our hands and feet, we will lose our lives!" He pointed out Telling one of his subordinates, "Go and tell Mr. Hai, what to do is entirely up to his old man's decision."

The subordinates responded and hurriedly rode away.

The strong man's face, as ugly as a reckless ox, was full of clouds, "Possessions, troubles," he clenched his waist knife and muttered incessantly.

Li Tangong didn't go to Xiaoyao Mountain, but instead went to his master's lair - Tuqing Temple on Yufeng Mountain.When the old thief was not on the move, he would take off his night clothes, put on a sackcloth robe, put on a dusty hat, put on patched shoes and socks, and sit at the door with his hands in his hands, looking unhappy.

Tuqingguan is dilapidated, overgrown with weeds, and broken walls and ruins everywhere.The incense had been cut off in the temple decades earlier, and the sanqing offerings in the main hall were also half cleared. At this time, the two broken doors were ajar and creaked when the wind blew.

Liu Caihua was lying on the altar table drinking, saw Li Tangong and Ah Jiu, and said lazily: "Boy, go down the mountain and help me make two catties of wine. Hey, who is this baby?"

Li Tangong leaned in front of him and said such and such.Liu Caihua was so frightened that she dropped the wine bottle with a clang, and grabbed Li Tangong's ear and cursed: "Smelly bastard, look what kind of job you have! Are you Zhao Zilong, the savior of Changbanpo alone? Worse than a leg hair!"

He kicked Li Tangong hard, then dragged him to him, and said in a low voice, "Do you know who that Hai is? Sha'!... Why do you think he is a Raksha? Because Raksha is a mother, that fellow is almost a mother, but he is more ruthless and murderous than he is, and the evil spirits in the eighteenth hell can't compare to him. You stole a child from under his nose, East Factory doesn’t know, West Factory will know if the winery doesn’t know, and all the idiots in the world will know!”

Li Tangong retorted in a low voice: "But Ah Jiu is not wrong..."

"Who is at fault?" Liu Caihua asked back, "Who is at fault with so many unjust dead ghosts? After Yu Shi Chenglian died in Zhenfusi Prison, even babies under seven days old were killed in the family, and the child didn't even open his eyes." What could he do wrong? There are no good people in this world!"

As he spoke, he took out a few coins from behind the statue and put them in his arms. He took Li Tangong with one hand and Ah Jiu with the other and said, "It's not too late, let's go now! After you give this child to Master Yangming , our master and apprentice will flee into the deep mountains, and we will never come out again within ten years!"

They left at sunset, and in the middle of the night, three people appeared in front of Tuqing Temple.Two of them have big arms and round waists, and their faces are full of evil spirits. They are intimidating to look at, while the other is a cold young man.

A big man said: "I'm afraid it has been gone for a long time."

The young man pondered: "Is he really the apprentice of Liu Caihua who is 'Stealing the Fragrance of Tai Sui'?"

The big man said: "There is no mistake. The spies who were placed in the small town at the foot of the mountain have never met Liu Caihua, but they know him as a young apprentice. I heard that he often helps the master make wine, and he likes to find people to brag about. This apprentice Shen Shi Left and right once brought a child up the mountain, but the spy was supposed to follow, but the mountain was high and the forest was dense, so he abandoned him."

The young man said: "I'm afraid Liu Caihua is not easy to deal with."

"What your lord said is true." The big man said respectfully, "Liu Caihua has been walking in the rivers and lakes for 20 years, but only his name has been heard in the rivers and lakes, which shows that his martial arts are not weak. It is rumored that Liu Caihua is good at swordsmanship. The Peach Blossom Flowing Water Knife was originally worn by Tang Emperor's bodyguards. It is more than two feet long and more than an inch wide. It kills people like a piece of meat. It will show a peach-like pink color, and over time, the wound will fester, and even the strongest people will be dragged to death."

The big man changed the subject: "However, with Liu Caihua and two people with him, it is inevitable that he will be difficult to care about, so..."

"Let's go." A rough voice in the darkness interrupted him, "We have a grudge against Shen Tianfang, if it wasn't for that old man, we wouldn't have to suffer in that ghostly place."

The young man looked at the direction from which the voice came from, and nodded slightly, "Okay, it's rare that the virtuous couple volunteered."

There was a soft rustling of the vegetation in the jungle, and the two people who hadn't shown their faces ran away at an extremely fast speed.

The young man looked at the sky silently. The stars and the moon were dim, and the sky was full of layers of dark clouds.

Shen Tianfang, no matter what kind of god you are to arrest the king, you won't die in the hands of these treacherous villains in the end.

The heavy rain was torrential, and the three of Liu Caihua staggered forward in the mud.

Li Tangong hadn't closed his eyes for a long time, all his strength had been drained by hunger and sleepiness, and he staggered when he walked.

Liu Caihua's martial arts are good, and he doesn't find it difficult to walk, but it doesn't mean he will feel happy.

He wore a big bamboo hat, wrapped Ah Jiu tightly around his chest, and from time to time lowered his head and asked, "Child, are you cold?"

Ah Jiu shook his head.

Li Tangong was thrown down a long way, and after falling down again, he pointed to the abandoned mountain temple by the side of the road and begged, "Master, take shelter from the rain, I really can't walk anymore!"

Liu Caihua didn't want to go in to shelter from the rain. He turned around and shouted, "Go! You stop, but the pursuers don't stop. Once we are caught, we will only have to peel the skin and put it in the frying pan! They will also use a hook to poke in your ass, then hook out your guts while you're still alive..."

Li Tangong jumped up from the ground, rolling and crawling to keep up with them.He was drenched all over, his feet were sloppy, and his face was pale.Liu Caihua sighed, and said, "Let's take a rest, you probably won't live until you're in such a state."

They built a fire in the innermost corner of the mountain temple, shared dry food, took off their wet clothes and shoes, and baked.

It was twilight, but the rain was getting heavier, and a series of rolling thunder rumbled from the gloomy sky, as if someone was beating the drum of death.Li Tangong raised his tired face and asked, "Master, did I really do something stupid?"

"Yes." Liu Caihua said without hesitation, "I have taught you for more than ten years not to be nosy, but in the end you still didn't listen to me. You and I are thieves, not knights, remember? There is a remedy."

"what?"

"We killed this child." Liu Caihua's eyes flickered.

Li Tangong was startled, Liu Caihua smiled wryly, and said, "I lied to you." "

"You saw them killing people and saving the person they were going to kill, and you told me about it. Regardless of whether the child dies or not, we are going to die. We have to run away when the rain subsides. If he really escaped to the side of Daoist Yangming, maybe there is still a way to survive."

Li Tangong nodded, he couldn't bear the continuous drowsiness, curled up into a ball and fell asleep.Ah Jiu nestled in his arms, sucked her thumb and muttered a few times before falling asleep.

Liu Caihua added firewood to burn the fire and planned to take a nap.He had a dream, dreaming that he went to the underworld and met Li Tangong's mother, Ah Bing. Ah Bing was still so beautiful, and her eyes seemed to melt in spring water.Ah Bing asked him: "Is my baby okay?" He replied: "Very good, he will come soon." Ah Bing's face seemed to have changed, becoming more and more like a snake, hissing There was a loud noise, and a letter spitting out blood red suddenly hit him...

A gust of wind blew by, and Liu Caihua woke up.

The heavy rain outside has stopped, and the bonfire has also been extinguished. Liu Caihua touched the ashes, secretly said that the sound was not good, and she even overslept, it may be almost past noon.He hastily pulled Li Tangong up and carried Ah Jiu on the road.

Xiaoyao Mountain is more than 500 miles away from here.If they had horses, they could travel a hundred or twenty miles a day, but they dared not stay in the inn, nor did they dare to ride on the official roads, so they could only walk on small trails in the wilderness.

In the evening, the two walked into a quiet mountain forest. After passing through the forest, there was a ten-mile waterway, and the three of them, young and old, could rest for a while.

Ah Jiu asked: "Brother, we have been on our way, where are we going?"

Li Tangong said: "Go to your grandfather's good friend."

"who is it?"

"It's Daoist Yangming."

Ah Jiu gave a half-comprehending voice, and then asked, "Where's my grandpa? Have my parents gone?"

Li Tangong said: "Yes, grandparents, father and mother are waiting for you there." As he was speaking, he suddenly heard the sound of suona, and a funeral procession came towards him. There were about eleven or twelve people. The old man, who couldn't even walk steadily, was spreading paper money along the way tremblingly, followed by filial sons and grandchildren who were wearing sackcloth and mourning, crying for heaven and earth.

The man was carrying the coffin, and the woman in the middle was unrecognizable, as if she was overwhelmed with grief, she might collapse to the ground at any time. The coffin was a good one, made of black nanmu wood, with a large Chinese character "Shou" written on the front, and two words on the back of the coffin. A young man held a tall flag of mourning, followed by three drummers.

Liu Caihua suddenly became nervous, he drew a knife in his hand, and protected Li Tangong and Ah Jiu behind his back.

Because the sky was dark, only when the mourners approached sadly did Tan Gong see clearly the words "Shen Tianfang, old man, die well" written on the black and white filial flag.

Tan Gong was taken aback, he just yelled: "Master..." The old man who was in the lead suddenly jumped up and attacked Liu Caihua. "

Liu Caihua moved half a step away, Jian Guang brushed his side and flashed past.The old man saw that the move was wrong, and stabbed Liu Caihua's chest and abdomen with a backhand sword.Almost at the same time, the woman who seemed unable to stand up just now also made a move. She used double hooks to hook Liu Caihua's ankles with a swaying technique.

Liu Caihua remained calm in the face of danger, soaring into the sky and slashing high, the old man held up his sword to parry, his mouth was numb from the shock, and he stepped back a few steps and cursed.The woman was not young at all, but her martial arts were obviously higher, her hook shadow was like lightning, and she attacked repeatedly. She was fierce and vicious, just like the notorious "Blood Yasha" Huang Sipo, the notorious devil in the world.

Because she is Huang Sipo.

The three of them fought together immediately, and Liu Caihua had the upper hand. With one move, she parried Huang Sipo's sharp blade, turned around, and suddenly slashed at the old man with thousands of knives. Bloody mouth.

Seeing the old man injured, Huang Sipo was inevitably distracted, and the arrangement of the double hooks was a little messy.Liu Caihua saw that she was worried about the old man, and the Taohua Liushui knife attacked the old man alone like a storm.

Liu Caihua's sword skills are superb, although not as light and beautiful as others' swords, but they are straightforward and use killer moves, and the old man is full of flaws all at once.

Liu Caihua sneered, raised the knife and stabbed it flat, seemingly ordinary, but it went straight to the old man's throat.Huang Sipo roared when she saw this, and stabbed Liu Caihua's back with a flying hook.Liu Caihua seemed to have eyes in the back of her head, and suddenly moved a few feet to the side.The fourth lady Huang poked in the air, and almost hurt the old man when she couldn't stop.

The old man scolded: "Old godly woman, you can't see clearly!"

Huang Sipo scolded back: "You old man! Do you think you are the 'Blood Land' back then?"

Liu Caihua laughed strangely: "Sigong Huang, Sipo Huang, you two thieves, father and mother, don't stay in the sky prison. What are you doing here in the south of the Yangtze River? You are so particular about holding a mourning stick. Is it because the father is dead? The mother is dead." ? Son, grandson died? Or the whole family died?”

Huang Sigong was beaten to the point where he was almost powerless to resist. He knew in his heart that Liu Caihua had strengthened him too much, and he especially resented him. He glared angrily and said, "Fart! We were ordered by the East Factory Admiral Hai Hongyan and Eunuch Hai to arrest him. Now we You are officials, you are thieves! Liu Caihua, you have bullied so many big girls and daughters-in-law, you deserve to die, take your life!"

Huang Sipo said: "What are you talking about, old man, kill him!"

She had noticed that there was Li Tangong who was slowly backing away with the child on her back, so she swung the hook and shouted to the followers behind: "You kill those two!"

The attendants took out their weapons and rushed out. Liu Caihua caught Huang Sipo's silver hook and ordered, "Tan'er, let's go!"

Li Tangong ran away, followed by his followers, Liu Caihua made a feinted stab, and took advantage of Huang Sipo's dodge, flew forward on tiptoe, and slashed at each of his followers.

The martial arts of this group of servants are only ordinary, some of them had their arms cut off and cried out in pain, and three or four of them were killed by Liu Caihua with a knife. They couldn't help but added to the chaos.

Huang Sipo yelled angrily: "Damn it!" She handed it out with a single hook, which was Liu Caihua's rib cage.

Liu Caihua took it with her saber, shook her half a foot away with force, swiped her saber three times in a row, and attacked her three big acupoints, Tiantu, Tanzhong, and Shenque respectively. Liu Caihua's three swords were also a cover, and when the sword turned around, she went to kill Huang Sigong again.

Huang Sigong is wild and arrogant, but in fact his martial arts are not as good as his wife's. He is deeply ashamed, and he is most afraid of being mentioned by others.Unexpectedly, just as it was being played, a voice suddenly said, "Oh, fourth wife, fourth husband can't do it anymore, come and save your old sweetheart!"

Huang Sigong raised his eyes and saw that it was the kid who ran away just now. He didn't know where he hid the doll and came back empty-handed.

Huang Sigong said angrily, "You are courting death!"

Li Tangong chuckled and shouted: "Master, I'll help you."

Liu Caihua cut a bloody path, rushed to lean against his back, and cursed in a low voice: "Stinky boy, what are you doing here again?"

Li Tangong drew another Tang Dao from his back and said with a smile, "Master, do you know where I went just now?"

When Liu Caihua heard the words, she couldn't help laughing and said, "Could it be that you went to the river?"

"Exactly, go there and have a look, oh, what a big old bastard!"

"Hey, what old bastard?"

"The green-haired bastard, the green bastard shell, the green bastard tail, the green bastard claws, even the bastard's head is green and green. The old bastard was caught by me, and its four claws were crawling around. Say, Baba Wang, save me! Baba Wang, save me——!”

This is really the worst kind of swearing. Huang Sigong was so angry that he blushed and swung his sword to strike. Huang Sipo hurriedly shouted: "Don't, they are trying to provoke you on purpose!"

But it was too late, Huang Sigong opened his door wide, and Liu Caihua stabbed at the right time!

Huang Sigong looked down at the gleaming blade pierced into his chest, with an expression of disbelief on his face, his throat was rattling, his pupils shrank like needlepoints, and then suddenly enlarged, his body was like an emptied pocket, and slowly fell to the ground.

Huang Sipo let out a heart-piercing cry, tears filled her bloodshot eyes, and shouted: "You killed him! You killed him!"

Liu Caihua said: "Sissy Huang, you deserve to die too. I heard that you tortured and killed more than ten young women in Nanyang Mansion because you were jealous of other people's youth and beauty, and now you are here to kill this innocent child. Although I, Liu Caihua, am a prostitute, Anyway, I never kill women and children. I heard that you should have been beheaded a long time ago, but you were released to do evil again. There really are no good people in this world."

Huang Sipo's face was very ferocious, she hooked her chest horizontally, made a gesture, and then flew towards Liu Caihua in the sackcloth.She broke the boat, and her attack was even fiercer than before. Two silver hooks seemed to suddenly become four, then eight, sixteen, thirty-one, sixty-four...

The silver hook is like an impenetrable net, in which only Huang Sipo's shadow can be seen like a cloud of white mist.Liu Caihua sharpened her saber, pierced into the net with a "clank", and turned herself into a cloud of fog.

Others felt dazzled, but Li Tangong suddenly made a diagonal stab, and the long and narrow Tang Dao raised a silver light and slashed at Huang Sipo.

Huang Sipo is a master against Eye Guan Liulu, of course she won't be hit by him, but she can see clearly that this stinky boy has stuck two willow leaves under his nose for some reason, just like a mustache, and his movements are weird and strange funny.

Because of the weirdness, she couldn't help but look at the second and third glance after the first glance, and her hook became slow.

One of the minions who had more knowledge suddenly came to his senses and shouted with pain: "Fourth wife! Don't be distracted!"

It's just that he was late in reminding, Liu Caihua had already made a knife.

Warm blood gushed out from the cut in Huang Sipo's throat, splashing on Li Tangong's face and body like a spring of blood.

Huang Sipo was stunned, a little unwilling, as if she didn't know that she had been stabbed, she didn't even have the strength to give Li Tangong a vicious look, and then fell down, her old and sallow face looked very terrifying.

Seeing that the general situation was over, the minions threw away their helmets and armor and fled. Li Tangong said: "Don't kill them."

Liu Caihua said: "What do children know? Of course they have to be killed. Is it possible to let them go back and report to Hai Hongyan?" He raised his knife and chased after him. When he came back, he wiped the blood on his hands on the grass and said, " Good boy, I can't learn other skills by teaching you, but you can learn this set of trivial skills very well."

Li Tangong said: "She is meddling in her own business. You rest, I'll go hug Ah Jiu." Out of worry, he hurried to the place where Ah Jiu was hiding.

Liu Caihua raised his head, and a silver needle as thin as a cow's hair was suddenly nailed into his back. When Li Tangong came back, he was already poisoned, and he was almost breathless.

"Master!" Li Tangong rushed to his side, tears gushing out.

"Tan'er..." Liu Caihua insisted, "I don't know which bastard plotted against me, but you...you must not help me avenge me!"

Li Tangong nodded desperately, and Liu Caihua said again: "Don't bury me when I'm dead, take away the silver and the knife, and run away quickly...cough...go to Master Yangming...and..."

His pupils have dilated, but a slight smile appeared on his face, "Tan'er... Over the past ten years... Have I treated you badly?"

Li Tangong cried: "No, no!"

"Did I... let... let you eat... and dress warmly?"

"Yes, Master!"

"Okay... then I... I dare to go down... to find your mother..."

Liu Caihua slowly closed her eyes and lost her breath.

Ah Jiu didn't understand life and death, so he asked suspiciously, "Grandpa fell asleep?"

Li Tangong nodded, covered his eyes, tears dripped from his fingers.He cried silently for a while, then wiped his face fiercely, and said to Ah Jiu, "Kowtow to Grandpa."

Ah Jiu knelt down and he also kowtowed a dozen times, and then swore in a trembling voice: "Master, this apprentice doesn't want to listen to you anymore, I will avenge you, if you don't report, there will be thunder and bangs! Ah! Nine, let's go."

Ah Jiu asked: "Just let Grandpa sleep here?"

Li Tangong said "yes" cruelly, then packed the package, carried Ah Jiu on his back and walked quickly outside the forest.Liu Caihua lay on her back in the green grassy forest clearing, the sky was dark, and the heavy rain fell again, washing the body clean.

A deep sigh came from the depths of the forest, and the young man who had appeared in front of Tuqingguan walked out slowly, picked up Liu Caihua's body, and buried him in the grave that had been prepared.

A few hours later, Hai Hongyan's pursuers arrived in the rain. From the flying fish suits on them, it could be seen that they were a group of Jinyiwei.They only saw the bodies of Huang Sigong and Huang Sipo in the grass, but they didn't know that Liu Caihua was also dead.

The leading villain was the one who slaughtered Shenmei Garden at night. He frowned tightly and said: "Master Chang said that Huang Sigong and his wife went first, but I didn't expect that these two people were not good at martial arts, so they were killed by Liu Caihua instead. Hurry Feige and tell Eunuch Hai Master He Chang, let them dispatch reinforcements quickly.

When receiving the letter from Fei Ge, Hai Hongyan, the admiral and eunuch of the East Factory, had just escaped another assassination.The person in the bedroom has a ferocious face and a different head. He looks a lot like Hai Hongyan, but he is just one of Hai Hongyan's many substitutes.

The stern young man has already rushed back. He stood quietly in the courtyard, grasping the sword in his right hand. The blood of martial arts practitioners dripped from the tip of the sword. Around him, there were six dead bodies in night clothes.

"Chang Que," Hai Hongyan's voice was very low, but for some reason it sounded so sharp to the young man's ears, like a cutting knife.

The young man knelt down in the muddy water and said, "Godfather."

"How many people did Yangming send this time?"

"Seven." Chang Que stared at the hem of Hai Hongyan's gorgeous robe, and replied humbly, "It's a pity that one escaped. But that person was hit by Hai'er's sword and was seriously injured, so he must not run far."

Hai Hongyan glanced at him with a sneer on his face.

"Last time at Shen's house, I let them run away, and this time they ran away again. Since when did our East Factory become a messy master? The emperor is coming to the south of the Yangtze River, but you don't even know these little thieves. I can't clear it up, how can I explain to my godfather?

Of course he also has a godfather, and his godfather is Liu Jin, the eunuch in charge of the supervisor of ceremonies who overshadows the sky now.

Liu Jin was the head of the "Eight Tigers". In the first year of Zhengde, he was already the eunuch in charge of the eunuch, and supervised the most powerful elite "Five Thousand Battalion" under the Shenji Battalion. In his grasp, even the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty all looked forward to him.

Chang Que knelt down in trepidation, as if he had completely lost the drive to kill just now, and the rain fell drop by drop from the tip of his straight nose.

"Do things well!" Hai Hongyan reprimanded lightly.

"Yes." Chang Que responded.

He found that the Hai Hongyan in front of him was still a stand-in.

Hai Hongyan is from Suzhou, even though she went to the capital when she was young, her accent can't be changed, her speech seems to be singing between white and white, it's weird and pleasant, no wonder the people above like it.

Although the appearance can be changed, the accent is extremely difficult to learn.

The real Eunuch Hai must still be hiding in his impenetrable carriage, surrounded by dozens of martial arts masters, some of them are the most heinous criminals in the death row, and some are the most notorious villains in the Jianghu, but now they have become his last. Faithful bodyguard.

Chang Que stood up and took a quick look at the stand-in. The stand-in was easily overwhelmed, just like Hai Hongyan himself.

He saluted and said, "Don't worry godfather, my son will lead people to chase after the assassin."

Fake Hai Hongyan said slowly: "Go."

Chang Que nodded and rode away on a fast horse.

Li Tangong and Ah Jiu missed the only ferry of the day.The ferryman's wife took pity on them and took them to spend the night in the hut.The ferryman's daughter, who was not yet 10 years old, brought wild vegetable soup with her head down, and then shyly hid behind her mother.

Li Tangong smiled at them gratefully and buried himself in the soup.

Ah Jiu snorted and drank the bowl upside down, licked her little mouth, and said, "More."

The woman added another bowl to him, and asked softly, "Where's your mother?"

"In Xiaoyao Mountain!" Ah Jiu said.

Li Tangong hurriedly covered his mouth, leaned close to the woman's ear and said, "His mother died, I never told him."

The woman looked at Ah Jiu sympathetically, and said: "There are still some wild vegetable dumplings here, go to sleep after eating, and when my head comes back tomorrow morning, there will be a boat."

As the rain gradually subsided, Ah Jiu slept soundly lying beside Li Tangong, but Li Tangong couldn't fall asleep. He kept listening with his ears open, and always felt that he heard the sound of horseshoes.

A drop of cold rain seeped through the thatch of the roof and fell on his cheek. He sat up in a jerk, hugged Ah Jiu, and walked out of the ferryman's house lightly.

He lit the oil-paper lanterns, and walked on the river beach with deep feet and shallow feet. The wind and rain were miserable, and there was only this glimmer of light on both sides of the foggy river.Ah Jiu said vaguely, Li Tangong hugged him tighter.

Ah Jiu asked, "Where are you going?"

"I don't know." Li Tangong said, "In short, stay away from the aunt and young lady just now, so as not to trouble them."

"What is 'involvement'?"

Li Tangong suddenly blew out the lantern. He seemed to hear the sound of horseshoes, but soon confirmed that it was an auditory hallucination.

Then he heard it again, and then it was an auditory hallucination, and he heard it again, and it was still an auditory hallucination...

He spent half the night blowing lanterns, lighting lanterns, blowing lanterns, and lighting lanterns like this, trembling, as if facing an abyss, didn't sleep well, and didn't make it to the road.

Around dawn, when the sky was about to light up, he heard the real sound of horseshoes and faint human voices coming down the wind.

He shielded the child on his chest, jumped out of the bushes by the river bank, and ran towards the forest not far away.

The voice in the wind became clearer, and Li Tangong was annoyed to death, thinking that he should not give up his hiding place easily, but he saw the bushes burning up after a while, so he ran even more desperately.

When he arrived at the foot of a cliff, he saw a cave more than ten meters above him by the faint morning light, and climbed up without thinking.Although he doesn't have much martial arts, his body is very light and agile. He has been familiar with climbing rocks and climbing trees since he was a child.

I couldn't see my fingers in the cave, Li Tangong rustled around, trying to find a stone to block the entrance of the cave, but he couldn't find it.He turned on the flint to look through the sparks, and found that the cave has a small belly and a big belly. It is good to hide people, but it is also convenient to catch people.

He put Ah Jiu aside and poked his head out of the cave carefully. Looking down, there is a white water between two mountains. Looking up, the stone wall is smooth, and there is only a small sapling swaying in the wind above his head.River
