Li Xiao sat in this small courtyard,
Lord Chen and the others were next door.
Zhang Long and Zhao Hu were by her side, responsible for guarding her.
The sun moved bit by bit. For the first time, she raised her head from time to time and looked at the shadows of the trees,
To endure this momentary change.
As time passed, she became more and more nervous.
The scene of Liu Gen's future that she saw belonged to blood and death.
Liu Gen was dead. There was no suspense,
The blood seemed to have its own consciousness. It seeped out of his body and disappeared in the air.
What kind of superpower was this?
Her mother had never said that there was such a superpower,
To make people bleed to death..
Just like..
Li Xiao thought,
A thought suddenly flashed through her mind,
Then she froze again.
It was as if something..,
Something very important had crossed over,
She couldn't catch it.
She frowned. Suddenly, she heard a loud banging sound in the courtyard next door — not the sound of fighting.
She and Zhang Tang looked at each other,
They both grabbed the edge of the table nervously.
..
This was everyone,
It was the first time they had seen this murderer.
It wasn't Liu Rui!
He was a head taller than Liu Rui, and his legs were longer, not to mention his skills.
He pushed open the door and walked in,
The locked door was like nothing in front of him.
People didn't even figure out how the lock was opened,
It had already been pushed open by him.
Chen Jue thought,
This was probably the world's..,
He was probably the most arrogant murderer of all.
Knowing that there was a tiger in the mountain..,
He walked towards the tiger mountain.
Just like that, he leisurely strolled in. He was wearing a light green robe and a pair of boots. He walked in swaggeringly.
What kind of confidence did he have?
What kind of reliance did he have?
Everyone raised their weapons the moment he entered the door.
The archers on the wall all pulled their bows to the maximum.
The swordsmen all pulled out their weapons.
Just as Lord Chen said, there was no need to hide or hide in the dark.
Just like that, everyone drew their bows, drew their arrows, brandished their weapons, and waited in a circle. The murderer would definitely come and would not hide.
For example, Chen Jue had locked the person in the prison, in a place where he was least likely to be robbed and killed. The murderer came to kill him that very night, and didn't even let that person live for another day.
Chen Jue had guessed his temperament, but he did not expect him to be so crazy!
The man was wearing a Luosha mask, strolling leisurely.
Even though all the weapons were pointed at him, he did not look at the soldiers. He only looked at the room opposite him. He seemed to see Liu Gen sitting in the room behind the screen. Wang Yi and Xu Ting were protecting him on his left and right.
He didn't care at all. From his body language, it was obvious that he didn't care about the guards in the courtyard.
Chen Jue looked at his appearance and his heart suddenly trembled. He knew that he was in trouble and did not dare to have any wishful thinking. He shouted, "Kill!"
The man with the Luosha mask suddenly stood there, but he did not try to escape. He did not even move a finger.
Everyone on the wall, in the courtyard, and in the room suddenly felt sore and weak. They fell down one after another. The people on the walls and trees fell to the ground, their hands and bodies were weak.
At this moment, each of them saw a lot of red mist suddenly appear in front of their bodies.
They were dazed for a moment before they realized that it was the blood in their bodies. The murderer in front of them could accurately draw out the blood of each person!
He knew very well how tall a person was and how much blood he lost. He would feel dizzy and weak and fall down.
How many people did he have to test this on before he could be sure?
In other words, how many people did he have to fail to use his supernatural ability on before he could use his supernatural ability to such an extent?
Chen Jue looked at him coldly. He was terrified when he thought about it carefully.
Chen Jue took a step forward. He stepped out of the shadow of the room and stood in front of the door.
He stood straight and did not cower because of the fear that the person in front of him brought to him.
This was Chen Jue. He was upright and stubborn. Sometimes, he was so bold that you would think that he was not afraid of death.
The Luosha evil spirit also stood in the middle of the courtyard. He looked around and seemed to be very satisfied with everything. Then, he turned back and met Chen Jue's eyes.
"Who are you?" Chen Jue asked.
The Luosha evil spirit seemed to be deaf and did not respond.
"…" Chen Jue frowned.
The Luosha evil spirit took a step forward. Chen Jue clenched his fists and stared at the other party coldly.
The next moment, Chen Jue suddenly felt that the man in the mask might have smiled slightly.
The mask moved almost imperceptibly. Although Chen Jue could not see the person behind the mask, he instinctively felt something.
It was like … something that could touch him.
There was an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
Chen Jue was frowning, trying to grasp the hint of inspiration that touched him. Suddenly, he heard a "bang" behind him.
It was the sound of something hard falling to the ground.
Oh no!
Chen Jue turned back and saw Liu Gen lying on the ground.
He had already turned into a dried corpse.
Around the corpse was a red mist that had just exploded.
It was Liu Gen's blood.
Chen Jue frowned. When he turned back again, the person standing in the middle of the courtyard had disappeared.
He rushed to the entrance of the courtyard. When he looked around, there was only an empty alley.
The Luosha evil spirit with the mask had disappeared. It was as if he was really a ghost general from the netherworld. He came and went without a trace.
He was so angry that he bit his lower lip. However, a sense of powerlessness suddenly rose from his chest.
Damn it!!!
…
On the way back to the House of Chen at night, Chen Jue was silent.
When Li Xiao thought that Lord Chen would not speak, Chen Jue suddenly asked, "Xiao Xiao, does your brother have the ability to control the blood in a person's body?"
Li Xiao was stunned at first. Ah, Lord Chen … actually called her Xiao Xiao …
She blushed slightly. She was about to blush when she heard Chen Jue's words.
Li Xiao thought for a moment and shook her head. "No, my brother can only move some teacups.
Previously, when he moved the teacups, the water in the teacups often spilled out. "
"Previously …" Chen Jue thought about Li Xiao's words.
"Sir … are you suspecting my brother?" Li Xiao asked in disbelief.
Chen Jue turned to look at her. He took a deep breath and shook his head.
Was he forced to a dead end, so he began to run around like a headless fly?
Li Yu's handsome face and the smile that always hung on his face appeared in her mind.
He pursed his lips and wanted to tell himself that it was absolutely impossible.
But … every time he thought of the murderer's confidence and arrogance, as if he was playing chess with them, he felt uncomfortable.
In this world, there were people with supernatural abilities and wisdom …
He had only met Li Yu so far.
What was the difference between controlling the blood in a person's body and controlling an object?
It was just a kind of liquid … it was also an object.
Chen Jue pursed his lips and fell into a dilemma.
If he thought about it in advance, no matter how he thought about it, it felt like it.
But on the other hand, when he thought about how polite and good-tempered Li Yu was when he was with him, he immediately rejected his idea.
But … a person like Li Yu, under his gentleness and tolerance, wasn't he extremely shrewd?
Therefore, when they arrived at the mansion, Chen Jue looked at Li Yu with a scrutinizing expression.
Li Yu didn't care much. Many times when Chen Jue questioned him sharply, he smiled and didn't stoop to his level.
He was as gentle as ever, as if he would never be angered.
Chen Jue couldn't help but feel relieved. Only angry people would kill people like that.
People who weren't angry wouldn't use such intense actions to achieve their goals.
"What did you do this afternoon?"
Chen Jue took a sip of wine. These days, he had been too depressed, and he wanted to find some relief.
"I'm looking at a house and considering opening a shop." Li Yu smiled faintly and said casually. It didn't seem like he was lying at all because it wasn't deliberate at all.
"Do you know Liu Rui?" Chen Jue asked again.
"Who is that?"
Li Yu finally raised his head. His eyes were clear as he looked at Chen Jue. Chen Jue couldn't help but feel ashamed of his suspicion.
Li Xiao buried her head in the fruit after eating. Her mind kept recalling the scene of Liu Gen's future that she saw this afternoon.
The man who stood in the courtyard and killed people, his height and figure …
She pursed her lips and secretly glanced at her brother. She was caught by her brother. She quickly lowered her head and felt a little guilty.
Her heart suddenly started thumping, and her pair of small eyebrows unconsciously furrowed.
At night, Chen Jue left Li Yu's courtyard. After returning to his own courtyard, Li Xiao stayed behind.
She sat on the rocking chair in the courtyard and looked at the sky.
After a while, she couldn't help but ask, "Brother, who is our father?"
"His name is Li Yun, Ri Junyun," Li Yu suddenly said. When Li Xiao didn't expect him to answer, he spoke.
Li Xiao hurriedly sat up and stopped rocking. She looked at her brother with sparkling eyes.
Li Yu nodded at her seriously.
"He used to be Grandpa's aide, and he was also the youngest aide by Grandpa's side."
Li Yu seemed to have suddenly opened his mouth and poured out all the words that he hadn't told Xiao Xiao all this time.
Li Xiao hurriedly sat up straight and listened carefully. When she saw him pause, she hurriedly nodded. She was afraid that he would stop and not tell her anything like he did when they were young.
"To Father, Grandpa was the one who recognized him. He was also the one who gave him a rope to save his life when he was in deep trouble." Li Yu sat in front of his sister and gently stroked her hair, full of nostalgia and gentleness.
"Who is Grandpa?
Why does he need an aide? "
She was born in a small mountain village. If Grandpa was a villager, then he definitely didn't need an aide.
Supporting oneself and farming was the right way to go.
When Li Yu heard this question, he just smiled and didn't continue to speak.
He changed the topic and continued what he just said, "Father always loved Mother, but he always felt that he wasn't good enough for Mother, so he kept delaying it. Until he was not young, there were always people around him who wanted to propose marriage, but he didn't accept.
He looked like he was going to be single for the rest of his life.
But … I heard from Mother that at that time, she had already started to talk about marriage. "
"Ah!" Li Xiao nervously widened her eyes.
"And then … when Father finally had the chance to marry Mother, it was when Mother met with a great disaster."
As Li Yu spoke, he sighed. "So Father brought Mother to the Li family village and started a new life."
"Why did Father leave us?" Li Xiao frowned. She had never seen her father since she was born. Every time she asked, her mother would always be silent.
"Because we still had a family member. Father wanted to bring that family member with us. At that time, we would be a complete family."
Li Yu sighed. "But the world changes. There were many twists and turns during this period. I don't know everything. In the blink of an eye, it has come to this."
His voice became deeper.
In front of his sister, he hid too much information, blood, and the ferocious truth.
"If Father didn't leave, we …" Li Xiao lowered her head sadly.
"Don't blame him. He was also doing it for Mother." Li Yu rubbed his head.
They could have been a happy family.
Xiaoxiao didn't have to go through so much pain, and she didn't have to live in an ignorant mountain village and suffer since she was young.
She should have been a rich young lady, unattainable by anyone …
Mother should have lived a happy and worry-free life, but …
As for him … he …
Biting his lower lip, Li Yu stared at the dark night. The flames in his eyes burned more and more fiercely.
…
That night, Liu Tianping didn't sleep well.
When the piece of paper tied to the bamboo pole was thrown into the room, he immediately sat up.
He hurriedly looked at the note under the oil lamp. His face was ashen.
He didn't care that it was already past midnight. He hurriedly put on his clothes, hat, shoes, and ran out.
"Sir?" The guard hurriedly followed.
"Go to the Nine Gates Admiral's Office!" Find Zhang Minglei!
The guard didn't dare to say anything. He prepared a horse for Liu Tianping and brought a few capable men with him. The group hurriedly left the House of Liu and quietly avoided the patrolling soldiers. They went around the alley and went straight to the Nine Gates Admiral's Office.
Zhang Minglei yawned and put on a robe. When he saw Liu Tianping, his face was full of shock.
"When did you come back?"
"Just a few days ago." Liu Tianping said, but waved his hand anxiously. This wasn't the main point.
"Do you still remember what happened to the Min family?" Liu Tianping asked.
Zhang Minglei's face changed when he heard the word 'Min'.
"… I remember." His voice was deep, and his sleepiness was gone.
"They're here, they're here." Liu Tianping couldn't sit still. He stood up and paced around the room.
"Can you stop pacing around and sit back down?"
Zhang Minglei was a few ranks higher than Liu Tianping. When he saw that Liu Tianping had lost his mind, he gave him some face. However, he didn't want to see Liu Tianping behave like this in front of him.
Liu Tianping had already thrown caution to the wind. He turned to look at Zhang Minglei and sneered with an ugly expression. "You're talking to me like this now. Back then, how did you invite me —"
"Shut up!" Zhang Minglei frowned deeply. He couldn't suppress his anger.
"That person has already killed many people in my residence. I'm afraid that my son … Hmph, do you think you'll benefit if I die?
Will the Great General benefit? "Liu Tianping frowned. He was about to die and was extremely crazy.
He wasn't afraid of anything.
"Don't talk nonsense!" Zhang Minglei slammed the table and narrowed his eyes at Liu Tianping. He couldn't wait to kill him.
"I'm not going to talk nonsense with you. I want you to mobilize the Nine Gate Infantry to surround my residence and protect me!" Liu Tianping glared at Zhang Minglei. He wasn't polite at all.
The light in his eyes was so bright that even Zhang Minglei felt a bit scared.
Liu Tianping was throwing caution to the wind.
"What am I going to do for no reason?" Zhang Minglei frowned. Was this something easy to do?
The Nine Gate Infantry and the Five Battalions didn't really belong to Zhang Minglei. They were the Emperor's personal guards.
"Tomorrow at noon.
Take a look! "
Liu Tianping trembled as he took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and slammed it on the table in front of Zhang Minglei.
Zhang Minglei looked at Liu Tianping in confusion. At Liu Tianping's signal, he spread out the piece of paper.
He skimmed through it. There was only one line.
