Chapter 576: Combining Hardness and Softness, If One Plan Fails, Try Another
Staring at Lian Chengbi's hand, Tu Xiaotian's eyes twitched wildly.
The hand was slender, white and smooth. It stroked the hilt gently, slowly and steadily. The nails were trimmed just right and no calluses were visible when the palm turned over.
This hand looks like a scholar's hand.
But this hand had just held the sword and killed Sikong Shu, the one-armed eagle king who had been famous throughout the world for decades.
Tu Xiaotian is confident in himself, but he also knows his own limitations. Although his acupuncture method is swift, strange and accurate, he has absolutely no chance of winning against the One-Armed Eagle King.
If I faced that sword just now...
Tu Xiaotian suppressed his pounding heart and said through gritted teeth, "No matter how many coincidences there are, they are still coincidences. Master Wu Gou's swordsmanship is unparalleled, and I am absolutely no match for him. But Master Wu Gou is wrongly accusing people without any evidence, and I will never accept it!"
At that moment, Tu Xiaotian was almost about to tell the truth under the threat of death.
But he was an old hand after all, and he finally reacted and decided to hold on.
Tu Xiaotian knew that he could not be scared by Lian Chengbi and could not be led away by him.
If I acknowledge the inference in Lian Chengbi's words, then whether I admit it or not, I will be his enemy. At that time, my life and death will depend entirely on Lian Chengbi's decision.
But if he insisted, without any evidence, Tu Xiaotian didn't believe that Lian Chengbi would dare to kill him in public. After all, he was a great hero from Guandong who had been doing chivalrous deeds for thirty or forty years!
Tu Xiaotian stared at Lian Chengbi, but Lian Chengbi did not look at Tu Xiaotian. Instead, he continued to stroke the scabbard and asked in a gentle voice, "I wonder why Mr. Tu, who has always been in Guandong, traveled thousands of miles to the northwest border?"
Tu Xiaotian was prepared for this and immediately said, "I'm here to pay tribute to my friend."
"Who is your friend?"
"One knife cuts through the mountains and destroys the mountains."
"he died?"
"He died outside Jiayuguan Pass a few years ago."
"Dying for what?"
"Fight off the bandits."
"Since he passed away several years ago, why did Mr. Tu come today?"
"Because I just found out recently." Tu Xiaotian sighed, "I wrote a letter at the beginning of the year, intending to invite him to visit the outer border, but after receiving a reply from the Longxi Tianwangdao lineage, I learned that he had already died in battle here."
"After I learned about it, I packed my bags and headed west. I met Sikong Shu on the northern grasslands and started traveling with him." Tu Xiaotian lowered his eyes, feeling extremely sad.
"I am guilty of offending Master Lian." Tu Xiaotian sighed helplessly, retreating to advance, "It's just because I was distracted and didn't consider Sikong Shu's temper. Please forgive me, Master Lian."
Yang Kaitai was speechless.
Feng Siniang's brows did not relax, but her eyes seemed to relax slightly.
Shen Bijun looked ashamed and felt deeply apologetic.
"Mr. Tu originally came here alone?" Lian Chengbi asked.
"That's right." Tu Xiaotian said seriously.
"No wonder." Lian Chengbi suddenly smiled and said, "If Hero Tu had someone to chat with, he would be able to relax and not be so depressed and absent-minded."
Mr. Tu turned into Hero Tu, and the biting cold just now turned into warm sunshine.
Tu Xiaotian finally breathed a sigh of relief and responded immediately, "No, no, there are too many coincidences. Even the young master was provoked by Sikong Shu, so it makes sense for him to be angry. Let's talk it out." Yang Kaitai smiled and immediately poured a glass of wine for Tu Xiaotian, "We came to Jiayuguan this time to pay tribute."
"I've already guessed it." Tu Xiaotian raised his glass and said, "I've heard that Master Shen and his wife fought fiercely with the Guanzhong martial arts at Jiayuguan, died in the northwest, and carried their coffins to Qi and Lu. I admire them very much, but I only regret that I was in Guandong at that time and couldn't fight alongside them."
"Thank you!" Shen Bijun raised her glass quietly, and Tu Xiaotian hurriedly returned the gesture.
"Mr. Lian is better than his master, and Mrs. Lian is extremely graceful. If the old owner Lian and owner Shen are still alive, they would be very pleased." Tu Xiaotian complimented.
"Thank you." Lian Chengbi finally put down his sword and raised his wine glass. "I'm sorry for the offense just now. Please forgive me, Master Tu."
"I dare not, I dare not. After all, I was the one who made the mistake first. Even the young master's suspicion is reasonable." Tu Xiaotian laughed, waved his hand nonchalantly, then raised his glass in return with a warm attitude.
After all, it's still a fledgling, and I fooled you into thinking it was your fault!
Tu Xiaotian felt relaxed, but at the same time he looked down on Lian Chengbi, but he remained calm, looking like an old senior who was humble and without any airs.
Seeing Lian Chengbi's performance, Feng Siniang put aside her doubts, but she and Tu Xiaotian had no friendship, so she just ate and drank by herself.
After Yang Kaitai talked to Tu Xiaotian for a few words, he immediately went to Feng Siniang and helped her tear the meat and pour the wine.
Lian Chengbi seemed to feel guilty for the oppression he had just given Tu Xiaotian, and kept chatting with Tu Xiaotian with a smile.
"Master Tu has friends all over the world, and he is so loyal that he even came from thousands of miles away. I admire him." Lian Chengbi said with a smile.
"No, no, this is our duty!" Tu Xiaotian said.
"Since you are in the Northwest, Master Tu, why don't you try some of its specialties? But I heard there are a lot of cattle and sheep in Guandong as well?"
"Many cattle and sheep from outside the Great Wall also go to Guandong. There is a lot of meat between the white mountains and black waters, but the taste is different from that in the northwest."
"My husband and I also said that we want to travel around the world. When we go to Guandong, can you please take care of us, Master Tu?"
"Hahaha, Young Master Lian and his wife, feel free to come, I will definitely welcome you with open arms!"
"Thank you so much. By the way, when did Hero Tu come to Suzhou? Did you find an inn?"
"We just arrived today, and we've already found an inn. It's the Bansha Inn in the north of the city."
"The battlefield back then was outside Jiayuguan Pass. Are you planning to go there tomorrow, Mr. Tu?"
"Go tomorrow."
"The young master won't go with you?"
"Of course not..."
Tu Xiaotian said three words, and his old face, which had been rosy just now, faded almost in the blink of an eye, and turned extremely pale in an instant. There was endless fear in his eyes as he stared at Lian Chengbi, as if he was looking at a devil.
Lian Chengbi's smile was still very polite, gentle, and sincere. "Did I not come, or did I not go with you?"
Listening to Lian Chengbi's question, Tu Xiaotian's hand holding the wine glass began to tremble.
Of course, Yang Kaitai and Feng Siniang immediately noticed the changes here. Feng Siniang was not clear about what had happened, but Yang Kaitai knew the young master's name and could not help but look at Tu Xiaotian in surprise.
The wine glass in Tu Xiaotian's hand suddenly shot towards Lian Chengbi like an arrow, and the wine in the glass also splashed into his eyes.
At the same time, Tu Xiaotian rolled backwards, holding the pipe in his hand to protect his chest to prevent Yang Kaitai and his men from chasing him. He tapped his feet and leaped backwards, trying to escape through the window at the back.
But out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that Lian Chengbi, who had just sat there, was gone.
