Big dream 18 years

Chapter 29

Although there have been rumors foreshadowing, Li Xiao's appearance still caused waves in Jingping Garden.Whether the one-month period is false or real, Li Xiao will choose the first day to do it, so how do you explain "one less person"?Everyone insisted on their own opinions and argued endlessly.

The safety of Lu Bing's family is the top priority.All the important masters of Bai Dao were dispatched. From the night Li Xiao spoke, Qin Songfeng moved directly to the vicinity of Lu Bing's residence, leaving only Liu Junwen and Ji Shuliu on the periphery.

In the middle of the night on the third day, more than a hundred people suddenly appeared in the nearby hills and ravines.When Bai Dao was in a hurry to get ready, the group of people also rushed to the gate of Jingping Garden with ladders, climbed high and jumped over the wall to enter, and rushed to the inner layer aggressively along the middle road.Xuan Chongzi asked most of the people to stay where they were, while the expert Su Tielian led more than [-] people out to test it first.

Su Tie's face naturally has another real name, and he only got this nickname because of his face as black as iron, his strict conduct, and his merciless actions.Not only was he not angry when he heard about it, but he was also very proud of it, and he often used it as his own name. As time passed, no one in the Jianghu remembered his real name.

The disciples of Drunken Sun Fort who rushed in this time were very brave, fighting for a long time without any intention of retreating. Although Su Tielian didn't ask for help, the people who stood still began to worry.

"Do you think the leader is Li Xiao?" A man with a loud voice asked outside.

Li Xiao's voice sounded unexpectedly: "This is the arrangement of my Junior Brother Shang. I don't dare to plunder the beauty. I will give you a generous gift later."

After he finished his sentence and there was no movement, Xuan Chongzi went out to find his location, but unfortunately found nothing.

Ji Shuliu could hear clearly in the room, and he sat stiffly by the window, unable to move.After a while, Ji Ping, who was in charge of guarding him that day, came over and broke his fingers forcefully: "Silly boy, it's bleeding." Only then did he realize that the nails of both hands had left four scratches on each palm.

Ji Shuliu clenched his teeth and let go.Ji Ping complained: "Don't you know it hurts?"

"It doesn't hurt." Ji Shuliu stood up shaking his head, moved to the bed and sat down.

Ji Ping gently pressed his shoulder with one hand, bent down and emphasized: "I am your aunt, your father's sister. I hugged you when you were born. You have returned to our side, our family No matter how the blood connection is cut, it can’t be broken.”

"I know." Ji Shuliu stared at the closed doors and windows, "I'm fine, don't worry. You've always been good to me, I know it all."

The noise outside gradually subsided, and someone came back to report: the disciples of Zuizun Castle had retreated, leaving behind seven dead or seriously injured people who were dying; Surrounded by the disciples of the Fort, he was seriously injured, and his left leg was injured. A meridian was injured, and a little carelessness may result in permanent disability.

A person who is good at medical skills helped Lu Shan to bandage properly, because Ji Shuliu also knew a little bit of medical skills, so he simply let him take care of him.Qin Songfeng has already moved to another place, so Ji Shuliu and Liu Junwen live in one room, and the brothers Tao Gangzhu live in the other.

In the early morning of the next day, Ji Shuliu was woken up by a quarrel, and it turned out to be the voices of Su Tielian and Tao Gangzhu.

"Bangzhu Tao, I came to visit your junior brother with good intentions, why should I hurt my peace?"

Leader Tao sneered: "You know what you have done. You clearly have the strength to spare. You were by my side when my brother was trapped. Why didn't you save me!"

"I'm in charge of taking care of the overall situation. I dare not go there because I'm afraid of making a small mistake! Your junior brother was not in danger of his life at the time, so it wasn't worth my risk to save him."

"Hmph, this reason is really impressive."

"Why put on airs." Su Tie's tone became gloomy and severe, "Since Lu Shan became famous in the first battle, as long as someone praises him in front of you, you will feel dissatisfied and have a bad face. Others have already noticed it."

Leader Tao said angrily, "What do you mean?"

"What do you mean? You brothers and sisters have a grudge and have been at odds for a long time. Anyone with a discerning eye will know it at a glance. Such a pretentious posture is just a laughing stock. Instead of trying every means to whitewash the peace, I will not go back to practice martial arts!"

Leader Tao laughed angrily: "You are right, I was jealous of him, so what? The first master only has us two apprentices. I want to be jealous of him and protect him. No matter which one is upright, whoever Secretive and hypocritical like you!"

There was a loud bang of wooden furniture being smashed with fists.Master Tao's martial arts are mediocre, and he doesn't have such great strength. It is obvious that Su Tie shot with anger on his face.

Liu Junwen used his lightness kung fu to rush into their room to persuade them: "Two two! The enemy is in front of you, don't hurt your brother! Calm down, calm down..."

The two of them wanted to talk again, but Liu Junwen hurriedly said loudly: "Slow down! Listen to what Brother Lu has to say first! You have been arguing about Brother Lu for so long, why don't you ask him what he thinks?"

Ji Shuliu couldn't help being curious, and stood at the door of their room to watch.I saw Lu Shan paralyzed on the bed weakly, his face flushed with anxiety, and he finally stuttered and said: "Su Daxia...you did a good job, and your brother is also very good, we don't have any grievances at all...yes, don't... Stop making noise!"

After Liu Junwen persuaded Su Tielian for a long time, Tao Bangzhu finally apologized to Su Tielian, and Su Tielian turned around and left.When he walked to the door, he happened to meet Ji Shuliu, and his thick and thick eyebrows almost knit together: "You are not allowed to step out of the door half a step, why did you break the rules again?"

Ji Shuliu was baffled: "I haven't stepped out of the door. If you can't even go in and out of the inner door, how can you take care of Lu Shaoxia?"

Su Tie stared angrily: "He can move into your house, but you can't walk around at will!" He stared at Liu Junwen sternly, "You are in charge of watching Ji Shuliu today, so you should keep an eye on him all the time. Leaving the post? You said it yourself well, the enemy is at hand! At this juncture, you can't relax at all."

Liu Junwen grinned: "I would like to follow the teachings of Su Daxia."

"Boy, don't fool around!" Su Tie glanced around, seeing that this group of unruly young people had no intention of repenting, and angrily shook his hands and left.In the afternoon, Liu Junwen's friends from the rivers and lakes came to send a letter, saying that Su Tielian had complained to Xuan Chongzi and Lu Bing, but was persuaded by Xuan Chongzi, so angry that he blew his beard and stared. Liu Junwen took pleasure in other's misfortunes.

Su Tie's face is upright and violent, and he hates evil like hatred. He has no enmity with Zui Ribao in the past and has no grievances in the present.But he is extremely strict with himself and others, while Chisumen specializes in the business of talking about rumors and disputes in the world, and even more respects being lenient to others, so it is inevitable to see and hate each other.

In order to seize the opportunity, Baidao dispatched some people to follow the traces left by Zuishibao's disciples to search for their hiding place in the nearby mountains. Unfortunately, the terrain here is too complicated to find them.Three days later, in the early hours of the morning, Drunken Sun Fort invaded again, but it was replaced by the backyard.Since then, they have harassed every few days, the time and place are uncertain, and they usually retreat after losing about ten people.

Drunken Sun Castle has long been short of manpower, such consumption will not last long; but Bai Dao is overwhelmed by the turmoil, and is beginning to show signs of fatigue.In the blink of an eye, more than ten days passed, although Xuan Chongzi and the others defended tightly, two comrades with weaker martial arts unfortunately died in battle.Li Xiao never spoke again, and no one knew whether his phrase "one less person" had been fulfilled.

Until finally something big happened.

It was not during the chaos when Shang Tongtian's subordinates attacked Jingping Garden, nor was it when everyone relaxed after they had just evacuated.It was an ordinary afternoon. Suddenly, there was chaos in the residence of Lu Yuyan's mother and daughter, and there were sounds of fighting and arguing.The noise continued, and Li Xiao spoke from a distance: "Lu Yuyan has arrived."

Another voice came from the mountains in the other direction: "Zheng Dong's wife, child, and grandson have also been obtained! I am Shang, Tong, and Tian!" Zheng Dong was the first Baidao who was killed in Bixiao Villa last year. Think tank Mr. Zheng.

The masters of Bai Dao asked them what their purpose was, but Li Xiao sneered: "The purpose will not be too late later, you first settle the internal strife, and I guarantee that I will not take advantage of the fire within an hour!"

■

Ji Shuliu sat motionless in the room, not knowing how he hoped to end up.

This day it was Ji Ping who was in charge of guarding him again. She was very concerned about Lu Yuyan, and she was very anxious when she heard the sound, and she hesitated for a moment, then grabbed Ji Shuliu's arm and ran out.

A large group of people had already gathered at the residence of Lu Yuyan's mother and daughter, and Ji Shuliu's appearance did not attract any attention.

In order to prevent accidents, Lu Bing and his wife and daughter were protected in two separate places.Lu Bing had already arrived at this time, and he was sitting at the door in a daze, as if he was ten years older; Mrs. Lu stayed in the room, unable to see her figure, and could only hear her heartbroken wailing.

Two figures covered in blood but still fighting endlessly blocked the door, one was Su Tielian and the other was Wang Hu.The two martial arts are not low. Although they have injuries on their bodies, they are inseparable when they fight seriously. Xuan Chongzi and Qin Songfeng looked at each other and shot at the same time.

Qin Songfeng's figure flickered, and he stuck to the back of Su Tie's face tightly. His left hand clasped the acupoint on his right shoulder, but his right hand drew out the Yanlai sword and stabbed at Wang Hu's wrist, forcing him to change his moves; Swords were drawn from the sides of the two, and Su Tie's face's sword and Wang Hu's knife were knocked away at the same time, and then they shot like lightning to hold Wang Hu's pulse gate.

As soon as the door was opened, Mrs. Lu rushed out of the door and cried with her husband. Xiao Jiu, a woman in black who had helped Qin Songfeng in Bixiao Villa before, also stood at the door. The bloodstains were shocking.For the sake of convenience, there must be a woman among the Jianghu people who are responsible for taking care of Lu Yuyan's mother and daughter, and it happens to be her turn this day.

Sun Chengxiu immediately ran to her side, half-supporting and half-embracing her, and took her into a safe place inside the house for treatment.

Although Wang Hu's people were restrained by Xuan Chongzi, they kept cursing: "Your surname Su, you are a turtle with a shrunken head, you are not as good as a beast!"

Su Tie's face was righteous: "If you don't lock the door, even Mrs. Lu will be hard to save!"

"Fuck your mother's shrinking head, you have time to lock the door, why don't you have time to block Li Xiao?"

"Miss Lu's responsibility for being taken captive, Su Mou dares to act bravely, and it will not affect you. You can just shut up!"

The two argued for a long time, Xuan Chongzi asked repeatedly, and only then did everyone understand the cause and effect.

Lu Bing recently made a lot of tampering at home. He and his wife and daughter lived in dug underground secret rooms, each equipped with a large iron door that can be locked both inside and outside, but can be easily unlocked only when the inside and outside are activated simultaneously.The secret room was dug in a hurry, the interior was too crude, and the ventilation was poor, so it could not be lived for a long time, and it could only be temporarily saved as a last resort.

Just a moment ago, Li Xiao suddenly appeared at the door without a sound, and attacked Xiao Jiu, who had the highest martial arts here, with a sword.Wang Hu and Su Tie stood up at the same time, and worked together to block Li Xiao.

Xiao Jiu endured the pain and first pushed Mrs. Lu who was closest to her into the secret room. When she went to find Lu Yuyan, Lu Yuyan had no idea of ​​the danger and slipped to the door to watch the excitement.

Xiao Jiu immediately grabbed Lu Yuyan and dragged her to the secret room, but Lu Yuyan was probably afraid of the darkness inside and refused to go in anyway, so she cried and struggled. Xiao Jiu was unable to use her strength because of her serious injury, so she delayed for a while.

Li Xiao's martial arts skills are superb, and he is about to break through the barrier and break into the door.

On one side are Wang Hu and Su Tielian who are in a hurry at the door, on the other side are Xiao Jiu who is seriously injured and weak indoors, and Lu Yuyan who is crying endlessly, and on the other side is Mrs. Lu who is stunned by fright in the secret room, but the rescuers still haven't arrived.Su Tie guessed that the people living nearby might have been murdered by Li Xiao!

He yelled loudly and told Mrs. Lu to lock the iron door inside and leave her daughter alone.Mrs. Lu naturally refused, Su Tie made a decisive decision, withdrew his hand and let Wang Hu deal with it alone, and activated the mechanism outside to lock the door of the secret room.

Wang Hu couldn't stop Li Xiao's attack alone, but Li Xiao waited for an opportunity to break in and easily snatched Lu Yuyan from Xiao Jiu.

Cycad's face was as expected.Xuan Chongzi counted the number of people, and soon discovered that when Li Xiao broke in, Kuaijian cut the throats of two young people who were in charge of guarding outside, and killed two masters who lived near Lu Yuyan's mother and daughter with poison darts. No one noticed.

On the way he held Lu Yuyan hostage and left, someone from Baidao finally came to rescue him. Unfortunately, he was concerned about Lu Yuyan's safety and did not dare to act rashly. In the end, he watched him jump out of the courtyard wall and join the disciples of Drunken Sun Fort outside.From the beginning to the end, only Li Xiao entered, but Bai Dao died four times, injured three and was captured. The rumors that Li Xiao's martial arts were greatly reduced can be said to be self-defeating.

Su Tielian and Wang Hu's lightness skills were poor, and they were injured again, so they failed to catch up with Li Xiao. They came back angrily and let Mrs. Lu out of the secret room, and then a dispute arose.Wang Hu insisted that the two still had enough strength to last until Xiao Jiu dragged Lu Yuyan into the secret passage, but Su Tielian insisted that he couldn't resist at that time and had to abandon Lu Yuyan to keep Mrs. Lu.

During the questioning of the facts, the bodies of the four people killed by Li Xiao were all transported here, whether they cut their throats or poisoned darts, all of them were crisp and neat.Ji Shuliu paid attention to the faces of the four of them. He knew the faces of the two elders, but fortunately, they had no friendship at all, and they didn't say a word.He secretly rejoiced in his heart, and secretly scolded himself for being despicable.

Su Tieyan took the opportunity to defend himself: "It can be seen how good Li Xiao's martial arts are. I am not as good as others, so I can only abandon the car to protect the handsome. Xiao Jiu and Wang Hu have tried their best, and the responsibility for Lu Yuyan's captivity will be borne by Su."

"Fart! How did you scold Miss Lu? You're a slut! You're just taking this opportunity to vent your anger!" Wang Hu stared, "Madam Lu, didn't you hear that?"

Mrs. Lu was so crying that she couldn't speak, she nodded vigorously.Lu Bing was shocked and stood up trembling.

"Su has a clear conscience. Lu Yuyan is born humble. So what if you call her a slut? She deserves it!" Su Tie sneered, "If I had raised such a daughter, I would have killed her with a sword! How critical was the situation at that time Xiao Jiu's back was full of blood, and Wang Hu and I fought desperately at the door, but she turned a blind eye, acted like a fool, rolled all over the floor, and didn't care about other people's life or death. I did my best to protect her only because of my duty, but you all tried your best to protect her. Such a slut, but it was a big mistake! When Li Xiao held her hostage, you shouldn't be wary at all, you should swarm up and kill them all!"

Lu Bing apologized and said: "Lu has no way to teach her daughter, so she pleaded guilty to Su Daxia and Xiao Nvxia. But the little girl is stupid, it is really unreasonable..."

"Stupid? She sees a man as aunt, sees a woman as uncle, and she has never called it wrong. Why can't she just learn to care about other people's lives? You are used to the slut's inhumanity!"

Lu Bing was speechless, and Su Tielian continued to teach: "Lu Bing, a man, don't act like a woman, what is this stupid and unfilial thing, it can neither continue the incense line nor inherit the family business, you will die if you die! Although Madam is old, it is not too late to marry a concubine and have children, why waste the rest of my life on an old woman or an idiot."

Lu Bing finally showed an angry look, and said word by word: "Lu got involved in the rivers and lakes because of business matters in the past, and caused troubles for the whole family. He is ashamed. He has no intention of marrying a concubine and having children in this life. Others risk being killed again. What's more, you insult my daughter because she doesn't know the seriousness, so what's the point of insulting my wife?"

At this time, Sun Chengxiu had just helped Xiao Jiu wrap up her wound and helped her out together, and everyone asked Xiao Jiu what happened.Xiao Jiu said with a cold face: "What kind of nonsense is Su Tielian talking about! People he doesn't like, don't treat them as people at all?"

Taking advantage of his old age, Dou Laolong smiled and smoothed things over: "We are in a hurry to hear the truth, why don't you bear it first?"

Xiao Jiu sighed: "To tell the truth, in fact, Su Tielian saved Wang Hu's life. At that time, Wang Hu was already planning to risk his life to fight for a chance. If Su Tielian stood still and let Wang Hu take action, we It is [-]% sure to take Miss Lu into the secret room, but Wang Hu's life is not guaranteed."

"My life is my own, so I can fight as much as I want, I don't need him to save me!" Wang Hu's anger still persisted.

Xiao Jiu said: "Miss Lu has a life, and you have a life. He can't be wrong for saving you. It's just that his mouth is dirty and disgusting. People in the Jianghu want to have a good time. Why bother to pass on this kind of life if you want to pass on the family line?" With each passing day, Mr. Lu's family affairs are not his turn to talk nonsense."

Seeing that she didn't seem to intend to say anything else, Chief Tao interrupted: "Miss Xiao, you seem to have missed one thing."

"what?"

"Li Xiao only left one wound when he attacked you, and the other wounds were naturally left when he snatched Miss Lu from you. Su Tielian put your life on the line!"

"It's nothing. Since entering the gate of this garden, everyone has to risk their lives."

Qin Songfeng didn't know when he brought Liu Junwen to Ji Shuliu's side, and said in a low voice: "Miss Xiao is upright, and she refuses to slander others with a single word, but it's a pity that she is too afraid of offending others. She is a person who is merciless in person. , but will never stab a knife in the back, it is difficult to gain friendship, but those who can make friends are sincere friends."

Liu Junwen didn't know the relationship between Qin Songfeng and Ji Shuliu, and said in surprise: "No way, uncle! You didn't like Miss Sun, but Miss Xiao instead?"

"What are you thinking about!" Qin Songfeng poked his head casually, "I just think she looks a bit like Brother Qu from before."

Xuan Chongzi murmured: "The facts are clear. Since Brother Su and Brother Wang are both well-intentioned, it is better to shake hands and make peace." Both of them promised not to fight again, and Xuan Chongzi and Qin Songfeng let them go.Sure enough, they didn't do anything again, they just glared at each other. Wang Hu coughed and spit out thick phlegm heavily.

"Brother Su," Xuan Chongzi said in a voice that could not be heard in the distance but could be heard clearly by people nearby, "Whether Miss Lu is worthy of being used as a mouse or not is for everyone to judge together, so don't say such arbitrary words in the future." It's gone." Su Tie was silent.

The hour agreed by Li Xiao has passed halfway.Xuan Chongzi refocused his internal strength and said: "Master Li, what is your purpose in holding Miss Lu and Mr. Zheng's family hostage? We can discuss it." He shouted several times, but there was no response.

Xuan Chongzi arranged some vigilant light kung fu masters to go out to track down the traces left by Li Xiao, and try to find out where the disciples of Zuishibao gathered; at the same time, he also ordered people to send a letter to Zheng Dong's fellow villagers to find out the truth.Although there is still a glimmer of hope, most people think that the arrest of Zheng Dong's family members may be true.This time, Zheng Dong's family's defenses were indeed relatively lax, because there had never been a precedent of killing an enemy first and then exterminating the family a year later in Drunken Ridge Castle, let alone kidnapping and threatening Bai Dao.Who knows that a moment of slack will eventually lead to disaster.

After the arrangement was completed and before departure, Shang Tongtian's voice sounded leisurely: "Zheng Dong has a wife, three sons and three daughters, his eldest son has another wife and a son, and finally there is Lu Yuyan. Today I brought Zheng Dong's two sons and a daughter , and leave the rest elsewhere. I’ll kill one of his sons first to get the lottery, so that you don’t get lucky.”

This time the voice was obviously coming from outside the backyard, and everyone ran over there quickly, but there was a young man's screaming and screaming: "Wait, don't kill him, come to me, he is not my second brother! Ah—— !"

"Oh, I accidentally killed him quickly, what should I do? Xuan Chongzi, help me identify if this is Zheng Dong's second son. I'll throw his head in, you catch it!"
