The men in black looked at each other,
A burly man took the lead and stood up:
"The sky is as blue as water,
The dragon is flying in the sky,
Li Tanhua is so merciless. I think he wants to become enemies with our Blue Dragon Society. "
The man in black's voice was low and hoarse. He seemed to have deliberately changed his tone to prevent others from determining his true identity.
Li Xunhuan sighed. Before he could say anything, Li Yue quietly poked her head out from behind him:
"Grandpa,
Since you're from the Blue Dragon Society, why don't you wear green clothes,
Why do you wear black clothes? "
The man in black was speechless.
Seeing that the other party did not answer,
Li Yue continued to work hard and asked another question that she had never understood in her two lifetimes:
"It's fine if you don't wear green clothes, but why do you wear black in broad daylight?
You even cover your head and face. Isn't the sun hot on your body? "
The men in black were speechless.
The enemy was speechless. Li Xunhuan burst into laughter,
He had always been gentle and polite,
Deep in his heart, there was actually something that jumped out of line,
Otherwise, he would not have resigned from his position at such a young age,
He galloped through the martial arts world on his horse.
Li Xunhuan rolled his eyes and explained to Li Yue with a faint smile:
"You're still young,
You don't understand,
Covering your head and face and wearing black clothes,
Is the tradition of people who do bad things in the world. "
"But isn't it more conspicuous to wear black clothes during the day?"
"That's right. They're well aware that no matter how they dress up or commit crimes, they'll be caught sooner or later. The so-called concealment is nothing but self-deception."
With a pure and innocent little face, Li Yue and Li Xunhuan asked and answered as if they were singing a duet.
The man in black was humiliated into anger. He didn't waste any more words with Li Xunhuan and directly ordered the other men in black to attack.
Admittedly, the men in black had the advantage in numbers, but Li Xunhuan was not the least bit afraid. On one hand, his martial arts were outstanding. On the other hand, Tie Chuanjia and his men surrounded the manor.
Li Yue only saw Li Xunhuan raise his hand and wave it. Several specks of silver light flashed between his slender fingers, and in the next moment, nearly half of the dozen or so men in black fell to the ground.
A bunch of low-level close-combat killers ganged up on a big boss who was suspected to be at the max level and was proficient in both long-range and close-combat, yet they still boasted shamelessly. Did they really think they were some big shot? Was there something wrong with their brains?
Li Yue looked at the leader of the black-clothed men with a gaze full of pity for an idiot.
The leader of the men in black couldn't hear Li Yue's silent criticism of him, but he cherished his life very much. Seeing that the situation was developing unfavorably for him, he nimbly left the other men in black behind and ran away.
The throwing knife in Li Xunhuan's hand was already aimed at the leader of the men in black. As the leader turned around and exposed all his flaws, Li Xunhuan sighed and straightforwardly took the leader's life.
Since the leader was dead, the remaining men in black hesitated. In terms of martial arts, they were definitely not as good as Li Xunhuan, so they couldn't run away. It would be too shameful for them to surrender. Moreover, the Blue Dragon Society never showed mercy to traitors. They looked at each other and glared at each other. The atmosphere in the manor suddenly became awkward.
The one who broke the awkward atmosphere was Li Yue. She pulled Li Xunhuan's sleeve and pointed at Yuan Suiyun, who was feverish, injured, and somewhat delirious.
Seeing this, Li Xunhuan slightly frowned. He picked up the boy who couldn't move on his own and held the girl with his other hand, and openly walked out of the manor.
The men in black thought that they had been spared by Xiao Li's Flying Dagger, so they lowered their heads to catch their breath. When they raised their heads again, they saw Tie Chuanjia's ferocious face that was comparable to an evil spirit.
Li Tanhua, didn't you say you would give us a way out?
In fact, before dawn, Li Xunhuan had already found out Li Yue's location, but he didn't know the manor's environment. He was afraid that he would act rashly and alert the enemy.
Li Yue and Yuan Suiyun were lucky to be able to escape under the eyes of the Blue Dragon Society's members. Otherwise, Li Xunhuan wouldn't have been able to make a move.
The Blue Dragon Society had a hundred years of history in the martial arts world. They were different from other Jianghu sects. They didn't do things in a systematic way. They were both righteous and evil, and they often didn't ask for the reason when they acted.
This time, although Li Xunhuan didn't expect to face the Blue Dragon Society, he didn't regret it.
When Li Xunhuan was an official, he didn't fear power. Now that he was in Jianghu, he didn't need to be timid.
Since he was targeted by the Blue Dragon Society, running away wasn't a solution. After a moment of contemplation, Li Xunhuan made up his mind to teach Li Yue martial arts when he returned.
Li Yue was completely unaware of Li Xunhuan's change of heart. Her attention was focused on Yuan Suiyun.
After leaving the manor, Li Xunhuan rode a horse and led the two to a nearby Taoist temple.
The Taoist priests in the Taoist temple had never seen Li Xunhuan, but they had all heard of Li Fei Dao's illustrious reputation. In addition, Tanhua Lang readily took out a few ingots of silver. Immediately, a Taoist priest led the three of them to a guest room in the temple. An old Taoist priest also came to check Yuan Suiyun's pulse.
The old Taoist priest prescribed medicine for Yuan Suiyun and asked a young Taoist priest to decoct it. He then took off Yuan Suiyun's clothes and performed acupuncture on her.
Li Yue watched as Yuan Suiyun spat out a mouthful of black blood after the old Taoist priest inserted a few needles. However, her complexion had become much rosier. She couldn't help but sigh at how wonderful the world was.
Two hours later, the young Taoist priest appeared in front of everyone with a bowl of Chinese medicine with a strange color and smell. Li Yue was thinking about how Yuan Suiyun should drink the medicine since she was unconscious. In the end, the old Taoist priest stretched out his withered fingers and pinched and lifted the bowl, forcing the medicine down Yuan Suiyun's throat.
The old Taoist priest's actions were simple and crude. The whole process was smooth and not a single drop of the medicine was spilled. However, the medicine's smell might be too magical. Even the unconscious Yuan Suiyun couldn't help but frown.
Li Yue, who had watched the whole process, swallowed her saliva and subconsciously shrank behind Li Xunhuan. Tanhua Lang was used to this scene. He even calmly chatted with the old Taoist priest. Li Yue's heart trembled. She decided to take good care of her body. Otherwise, Yuan Suiyun's current situation would be her future.
Li Xunhuan and the old Taoist priest chatted from morning until noon. Tie Chuanjia, who had finished dealing with the aftermath, also came to the Taoist temple. He solemnly bowed to the Three Pure Ones statues and habitually guarded the guest room's door.
Seeing Tie Chuanjia coming over, Li Xunhuan restrained his expression. He solemnly asked Li Yue about Yuan Suiyun's background. When Li Yue said "Wuzheng Villa", he deeply frowned.
Even the young master of Wuzheng Villa was not spared. What did the Blue Dragon Society want to do?
Tie Chuanjia sent people to deliver letters to Uncle Fu and the master of Wuzheng Villa. For the past two days, he and Li Xunhuan had not rested in order to find Li Yue. Now that they had found her, the three of them rested in the Taoist temple for the night.
At dawn the next day, Yuan Suiyun, who had been in a coma for the whole day, finally opened his eyes. He slowly sat up and tried hard to listen to the sounds that entered his ears. After hearing the girl's familiar snoring, the boy slightly curved his lips.
Yuan Suiyun woke up very quietly, but it could not be hidden from Li Xunhuan. When Li Xunhuan woke up, Tie Chuanjia naturally woke up as well. Under the sunlight, they noticed that although the boy would move his eyes according to the sounds, his eyes were lifeless. Only then did they truly confirm the boy's true identity.
After all, everyone in Jianghu knew that the young master of Wuzheng Villa, the number one aristocratic family in the Wulin world, was a heaven-sent genius. He was good at both civil and martial arts. Unfortunately, he became blind at the age of three.
Before Li Xunhuan could say anything, Yuan Suiyun had already accurately identified the other party's position. He insisted on standing on the ground and bowed to Li Xunhuan to express his gratitude. His every movement was like moving clouds and flowing water. He did not disgrace the name of an aristocratic family's young master, but he also silently distanced himself from Li Xunhuan.
Li Xunhuan looked at the boy who was still on guard and did not say anything. He only told him to rest well and that the people of Wuzheng Villa would come to pick him up very soon.
When Yuan Suiyun heard the words "Wuzheng Villa", his expression did not change.
Wuzheng Villa was located in Taiyuan. Since ancient times, Taiyuan had been an important border town. Therefore, the people of Wuzheng Villa also had some business outside the pass. Not long after the young master disappeared, more than half of the people in the villa were sent out to investigate. It was not strange that they could guarantee that someone would come to pick up the young master so quickly.
When the sky was completely bright, the steward of Wuzheng Villa had already driven to the front of the Daoist temple. The steward donated a lot of money to the temple and also solemnly thanked Li Xunhuan. He also explained that Li Tanhua was an important guest of Wuzheng Villa. The Villa Master invited Tanhua Lang to come to Wuzheng Villa for a chat. He also said that if there were any errands in the future, the villa would be duty-bound to help.
After learning that Li Xunhuan and the others were currently living in Shuozhou City, the steward had planned to send a group of people to send the three of them home. However, when he heard that Li Xunhuan's family also had people coming to pick them up, he gave up.
Yuan Suiyun's expression was calm as he and the housekeeper presented the valuable gift to Li Xunhuan together. The Third Valedictorian accepted it openly. Before leaving, Yuan Suiyun went to take a look at Li Yue and found that she was still sleeping soundly. He chose to leave quietly.
Li Yue didn't know what was going on in the Daoist temple. She was young and had a good mentality. She slept until late in the morning before she opened her eyes. When she regained her consciousness and struggled to get out of bed, she heard that Yuan Suiyun was no longer in the Daoist temple. She swayed a few times and directly collapsed back into the bed without caring about her image.
Tanhua Lang originally thought that Li Yue was unhappy about the news of Yuan Suiyun's departure. Women of any age would change their moods three times a day. Their thoughts were complicated and hard to guess. Li Xunhuan didn't think that there was anything wrong with it. However, he didn't know that even though her outer appearance had changed into that of a rich and beautiful woman, Li Yue still didn't change her nature as a pig spirit girl. When she heard that the little brother she just met had returned to his hometown, her heart didn't fluctuate at all. She even … only wanted to ask if there was still breakfast and when to eat lunch.
This kind of person … could be said to be a pig spirit destined to be alone for life.
"I don't have any relatives in this world. I don't eat much, so I'm very easy to raise. Not only can I read, but I also know how to calculate. So, can I trouble you to take me in for the time being?
I'll work hard to make you feel that it's worth it. "
She didn't know which sentence moved the young childe. He finally put down the wine jar in his hand and carefully looked at Li Yue. He let out a low sigh from the bottom of his heart.
"I'm a hopeless person. How can I dislike others? If you want, then stay. If you want to leave one day, don't tell me."
After saying this, the young childe's lips curved into a bitter smile. He raised the wine jar again and drank. His whole body was shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere again. He forcibly separated himself from the world.
Li Yue didn't like to see people drowning their sorrows in wine. She originally wanted to say something to the young childe, but she swallowed her words.
The atmosphere in the carriage was too depressing. Li Yue had the idea of sitting outside and looking at the scenery along the way. But just as she opened the curtain, the cold wind in her face made her sneeze.
Li Yue shrank into the warm corner of the carriage. She suddenly remembered that when she was escaping, she only wore a thin, light-colored, tight-fitting shirt. She didn't wear any thick clothes at all. The reason why she was able to sleep in the carriage for so long was because the interior of the carriage was covered with a thick layer of mink fur. She was also covered with the young childe's thick coat.
Now that she wanted to sit outside the carriage, Li Yue hesitated for a moment. But still, she thickened her face and took the thick coat that the young childe didn't wear. She firmly wrapped it around her body.
Most of the places outside the pass were bitterly cold. Although it wasn't winter yet and snow hadn't fallen, the wind blowing from all directions had already made Li Yue cold. She couldn't help but exhale.
The Bearded Man, who was driving the carriage, looked at the little girl who squeezed to his side. He simply took off his cloak and directly covered the little girl's body.
The little girl wrapped the cloak around her body and raised her head to ask the big man:
"My surname is Li, my name is Yue. How do I address you and the childe inside?"
"Child, your surname is also Li?
No wonder you are fated to meet my childe.
My childe's surname is Li, his name is Xunhuan. He is the Tanhua Lang that was appointed by the Emperor. Unfortunately … alas.
As for me … I, Tie Chuanjia, am just an ordinary servant. You can just call me 'Uncle Tie'. "
"Oh, Li Xunhuan???
Wait … Uncle Tie, you just said … the childe is Li Xunhuan?
That Xiao Li's Flying Dagger … who came in third? "
Li Yue's heart thumped. She looked at Uncle Tie with a face full of horror.
Uncle Tie seemed to be surprised that a mere child knew the title of Li Xunhuan. He carefully looked at Li Yue's hands, clothes, and cheeks. It was unknown what he thought, but a disapproving expression appeared on his face:
"Although the childe is a well-known figure in the jianghu, it's not something that a child like you can easily know, right?
Child, did you run away because of a conflict with your family? You're too bold. What if you meet a bad person and fall into a dangerous situation? "
What's wrong with a child? Before the child transmigrated, she also grew up watching the TV series "Li Fei Dao".
Even though fans of the original novel who knew that the plot of the TV series had been magically changed shouted that it was a drama, Li Yue still could not forget Li Xunhuan, one of the two male gods in the TV series with short hair. She vaguely glanced at the original Li Xunhuan through the gap of the curtain. In her heart, she compared the difference between the main character and the actor. She softly refuted Uncle Tie:
"Uncle Tie, my family is really not in this world. You see, the reason I can wear such good clothes is not because I was born rich, but because I was sold by a neighbor to pay off a debt.
Speaking of dangerous situations … is there any place worse than a brothel? "
As she spoke, Li Yue sadly lowered her head. The Bearded Man thought of all kinds of rumors in the jianghu over the years. In the end, he did not say it to scare the little girl. He gently rubbed the little girl's head and shook the reins with his other hand:
"Jia!"
From the time Li Yue escaped until she woke up, half a day had passed. Therefore, after a period of jolting in the carriage, Tie Chuanjia stopped the carriage on the flat ground by the roadside and lit a bonfire to boil water.
He and Li Xunhuan were both men, so they could make do with lunch. However, with a little girl in the carriage, he could not eat lunch so easily.
Forcing the little girl to stay in the carriage, Tie Chuanjia picked up a cloth bag and got out of the carriage. After a while, he came back with a few more rabbits in the bag.
Tie Chuanjia had originally wanted to leave one rabbit for the little girl to play with, but the little girl was more excited than he had imagined. However, this excitement was not because of love for pets, but because of anticipation for roasted meat. The little girl even continuously asked Tie Chuanjia what seasonings to add to make the roasted rabbit taste better. Tie Chuanjia was speechless as he listened.
The roasted meat filled their stomachs, so they naturally did not take out the dry rations. After resting for a while, Tie Chuanjia filled the kettle with hot water. He took the little girl to sit outside the carriage and started the carriage again.
In the eyes of the common people, the area outside Yanmen Pass was a desolate place with few people. However, ever since the founding of the Xian Dynasty, the court had never prohibited the people living at the border from trading with each other. After a hundred years, the trade caravans between the Central Plains and the Western Regions became more and more frequent. Naturally, there were relay stations, small towns, and cities of various sizes that were led by the people of the Central Plains or the people living at the border.
Following the tracks left behind by the caravans, Tie Chuanjia hurried the entire way. When the sky was completely covered by night, he finally drove the carriage to a small and cold town.
Probably because they often encountered travelers returning late, the only inn in the town was not closed. The candles in the lanterns at the door swayed in the cold wind. Tie Chuanjia looked around and hesitated for a while before stopping the carriage inside the inn.
The Waiter was lying on the table near the entrance of the inn, drowsy. He had no intention of coming out to greet the guests. Tie Chuanjia skillfully pulled the horse into the shed and added some fodder. He then carried Li Yue down and pulled up the hood to cover her face. He then gently called out a few words to Li Xunhuan, but did not receive a response.
Tie Chuanjia habitually pulled open the curtain of the carriage and helped the drunk Li Xunhuan off the carriage. Li Yue did the best she could to take some things and followed closely behind the two.
There were very few people in the inn. Other than The Waiter, there was only a short and fat middle-aged man standing inside. He continuously fiddled with the abacus in his hand, calculating something.
Under the dim yellow light, the middle-aged man appeared dark and gloomy. He heard footsteps inside the inn and slightly raised his eyelids to glance at the newcomer. His voice was hoarse and unpleasant to the ears.
"Do you want to eat or stay?"
"Stay. I want two of the best rooms. If there is hot water, bring two buckets and send it directly to the two rooms."
"How can there be a good room in this desolate place? Just one room, make do."
The middle-aged man did not say whether there was hot water. He went straight to The Waiter and kicked him. His expression became more and more impatient. "Get up and get to work."
The Waiter's body swayed and stood up listlessly. He led Tie Chuanjia and the other two upstairs, pushed open a door, and left. He did not care about the guest who was left aside.
Tie Chuanjia silently led Li Xunhuan into the room. He asked the latter to sit on a chair and then spread a sheet on the dirty bed. Only then did he let Li Xunhuan lie on it.
Li Yue frowned as soon as she entered the room. There was no other reason than that the room was too smelly. It was so dry outside the Great Wall, but the room was filled with a musty and rotten smell. She could not help but want to open the window to get some fresh air. Tie Chuanjia reached out to stop her. Li Yue could only sit quietly on the chair and watch Tie Chuanjia tidy up the room.
After a while, The Waiter entered the room with half a bucket of hot water and a pot of hot tea.
Li Yue looked at the dirty teacups and teapot. She gritted her teeth and poured a cup of tea. The water in the cup was also very muddy. She scratched her head and stood aside, watching Tie Chuanjia wash up Li Xunhuan, who was drinking. She felt that she could not get involved at all.
After washing up Li Xunhuan, Tie Chuanjia tidied up the teacups and teapot. He moved the dining table in and found a quilt from the next room. He then used a hot towel to wipe Li Yue's hands and face. He comforted the child to sleep on the table.
Tie Chuanjia was an eight-foot tall, muscular man. He was more virtuous than Li Yue's cube in her previous life. Seeing Tie Chuanjia guarding the door, Li Yue felt relieved and closed her eyes.
Ignoring the loud noises she heard in her sleep, this night could be said to be the most peaceful night Li Yue had ever slept since she transmigrated. When she sat up with a yawn, the first thing that appeared in her vision was Tie Chuanjia, who was sewing clothes with an embroidery needle, followed by Li Xunhuan, who was sitting on a chair and drinking wine with his head tilted back.
Sensing that the little girl had woken up, Tie Chuanjia let go of the embroidery needle and went downstairs to fetch two buckets of hot water. He carefully washed the little girl's face and hands, and then brought two bowls of hot noodle soup from downstairs.
After the three people in the room had tidied up everything, Tie Chuanjia carried Li Yue downstairs and directly covered the little girl's eyes with his big hands.
Li Yue peeked through Tie Chuanjia's fingers into a corner of the inn. The floor was full of broken pieces of tables and chairs, and traces of a fight. Combined with the fact that the inn staff had disappeared since she woke up, Li Yue was a little confused.
Eh, what exactly happened last night?
The old man looked at the quick-witted Li Yue, as if he was looking at a little troublemaker. He muttered to himself for a long time and then let out a long sigh.
"Lu San Egg is quick-witted. At such a young age, he is quite experienced in the ways of the world. Although he is a little restless, if he enters the Shuo Province Academy, he may have a great opportunity.
This old man knows that he has dealings with the people of Jianghu and has never stopped him. However, this old man has also heard that the Jianghu world is full of dangers, and the human heart is even more complicated and difficult to distinguish.
If Lu San Egg wants to make a name for himself, he will have to fight with his life on the line. This kind of behavior is far more reliable than passing the imperial examinations.
Even if he doesn't pass the imperial examinations, even if he mingles in the streets and alleys, it is still much safer than being in the Jianghu world.
A wise man once said that a teacher's job is to teach and dispel doubts. This old man should have personally said these words to Lu San Egg, but after the New Year, this old man has not seen Lu San Egg. Since you and Zhu Er are good friends with him, you should give him a few words of advice. Whether or not he can be enlightened is also his destiny. It is more or less … sigh. "
Li Yue wanted to reply to the old man that Lu San Egg would not go astray. After the sudden death of the original leader of the Long Dragon Gang, he had suddenly awakened an "auspicious" aura and started the protagonist's script. He wanted to be a character in the Wuxia world of Holmes. Even if he went to Jianghu, he would be the only one who would fall for his auspicious aura and bad intentions. How could he be so easily led by a dog?
