Taiping Inn

After a brief shock, the young man let go of the short blade without hesitation, his five fingers stabbed out like a hook, and said grimly, "Die for me!"

Li Xuan's face was calm, and he blocked the claw with the folding fan in his hand. At the same time, the short spiritual knife that he pinched between the two fingers of his left hand was instantly shattered.

The sword energy was like a mountain collapse and cracked. As the fragments of the short sword shot out into the surroundings, the young man was the first to be affected.

At the critical moment of life and death, this Tianle Sect master finally did not dare to have the idea of ​​secretly living. He began to sacrifice his life to fight, allowing fragments of sword energy to penetrate into his body. His face was bright red at first, and then pale. At the same time, he punched a knife. It cut out and brought out a scarlet light, like a blood-red crescent moon, but it was somewhat similar to the "cold moon saw" of the female sect.

This is the hand that trades life for life was broken.

Li Xuandu pulled a faint smile on his lips. In the flash, he stretched out his left hand to hold the young man's knife without any damage. Then he closed the folding fan in his right hand and gently pointed it on his heart.

Although for a swordsman, the difference between having a three-foot green edge in his hand is really big, it does not mean that he can only be slaughtered without a sword. Li Xuan used a fan instead of a sword, and underestimated the possibility of killing. It has emerged with a certain grand look of a grand master.

The sword energy enters the body and reaches the heart.

The young man's pupils suddenly scattered, and there was no more blood on his face.

There was silence in the alley.

Li Xuandu took back the folding fan and slowly retreated.

With a thud, the young man fell to the ground with his knees and then leaned forward on the cold ground in the alley, his head tilted to death with his eyes open.

It's not a master of Tianle Sect that is not helpful. No matter what, he is also a master who has entered the innate realm. He will be respectfully called "Little Grandmaster" by others in the world. Unfortunately, he has encountered a return to the innate realm to practice. Li Xuandu is not enough to see.

Li Xuan thought about it, reached into the young man's arms and groped for a while, and took out a jade plaque that indicated his identity, with the word "deacon" engraved on it. Li Xuan put it in the "Eighteenth Floor". Then lightly tap your toes, jumped onto the wall quietly, and soon disappeared into the shadow.

After a while, Li Xuandu turned out from another alley and returned to the brightly lit street.

This time he did not even use any of the swords of "Qing Jiao" and "Purple Phoenix", nor did he use the sword "Human World". He just a folding fan that is not a spiritual object, so he turned a congenital The defeat of the deacon of the Tianle Sect in the realm is something that only the master of the realm can do. Compared with Li Xuandu, who has just returned to the world, the difference is inconsistent. Of course, Li Xuandu is also very different from the Zifu Sword Immortal at the heyday, such as a chasm.

After turning two streets, Li Xuan both found the secret signs left by Hu Liang in the inconspicuous place on the roadside. He knew it in his heart and turned to the northeast. After passing another street, he saw standing side by side on the road. Hu Liang and Chou Nuer on the side.

Li Xuandu looked around for a while and found that this place was a place similar to a market, which was very lively. In addition to various stalls and vendors, there were also many dazzling jugglings, including dragon and lion dances, and tigers and leopards driving. , there are swallowing swords and spitting fire, gravel on the chest, and blind tricks, which open people's eyes, especially the blind tricks, which can actually turn a living person into a life, and make the onlookers burst into cheers. Voice.

At this time, all the powerful people have begun to enter the venue one after another and are preparing to participate in the next selection of courtesans, but their entourage cannot follow them all. Except for some of their confidants and guards, others are scattered in the "Tianle" You can go to find girls or travel around everywhere in Taoyuan. This place built in the market brings together many similar guests, so it is particularly lively.

Hu Liang and Chou Nuer chose to stay in this place, which shows that they had put some thought into it.

Li Xuan did not walk directly through the crowd and walked towards the two of them, but followed the crowded crowd and went around a big circle before he seemed to be carelessly coming to the two of them.

Hu Liang looked at Li Xuandu with his head and said, "Did you deal with it?"

Li Xuandu took out the token representing the identity of the deacon of Tianle Sect from the "Eighteenth Floor" and threw it to Chou Nuer: "With Chou Nuer, a person who is familiar with the inside story, plus this token, it should be possible. Mix in."

Chou Nuer caught the token, frowned, and said, "If you can get a deacon in the Tianle Sect, it is at least the cultivation level of the innate realm. If you kill him, I am afraid that the movement will be completely a big deal. "

Li Xuandu gently patted his palm with a closed folding fan and said calmly: "If you don't make a big noise, you won't be able to bring out the drunken spring breeze, and you won't be able to save your sister. Since you said your senior sister You can believe that you will see her later and ask her to take you to save your sister. As for me, you don’t have to worry.”

Chou Nuer still wants to speak, Hu Liang said, "Don't worry about Lao Li. He was traversing the north of the Yangtze River with one sword, and he was even more dangerous than "Tianle Taoyuan". The Great Zhenren Mansion of Zhengyi Sect has been through it. A few days ago, I had a fight with the old man from Zaoge Sect to destroy his two corpse girls. This little thing can't help him."

Chou Nuer was stunned, and then looked at Li Xuandu, and couldn't hide the shock on his face, "You... are you the Sword Immortal of the Purple Palace?"

Li Xuan did not admit it or deny it, and asked back: "Am I the Sword Immortal of the Purple Mansion? Is it related to what we are going to do today?"

"Of course it's relevant." Chou Nuer smiled bitterly: "If you are really a sword immortal in the Purple Mansion, then I don't have to worry about you. The sword immortal in the Purple Mansion is ranked tenth in the Taixuan List, a small Tianle Taoyuan', how could it be taken seriously? "

Li Xuandu shook his head lightly: "The Purple Mansion Sword Immortal has changed, and now only Li Xuandu is the only one. Let me introduce it again. My surname is Li, my two names are Xuandu, and my name is Zifu."

A little bit of consciousness appeared on Chou Nuer's face, "So it's really the Sword Immortal of the Purple Mansion."

Li Xuandu re-displayed the folding fan in his hand and blew a breeze, "Okay, do what you should do, and leave the rest to me. I am better at chasing and killing the enemy alone. some."

Hu Liang did not hesitate and smiled, "Then we won't drag you down."

Li Xuandu waved his folding fan and turned around and left alone.

When they entered the crowd, the people they saw were all brocade and silk clothes. They did not mention the "Da Wei Hui Dian" issued by Emperor Taizu, who was personally awarded by Emperor Taizu, were farts. When the emperor is far away, he wears whatever he wants. Even if he wears a python robe, no one cares about it. I heard that some women in the courtyard still learn the phoenix crown and red robe like the imperial concubines, or learn six doors. The female captain's outfit is because some customers love this, and the business is really good.

In the face of real money and silver business, the rules that were regarded as iron laws have become empty words. After all, it was the loss of prestige of the court. No wonder there was a sarcastic figure in the martial arts world in the world. The term "Three Braves" is to say that when the enemy is dispersed, then the lower one is brave, and when the enemy is fleeing, then the middle one is brave, and when the enemy is defeated, then the true bravery is brave. This is the case with the government army, how good can the government be? The current imperial court really does not control the country.

The court knew about these things. At that time, Emperor Wude had realized that the Wei Dynasty would no longer be rectified and the country would be destroyed. So he launched the four ministers and factions to reform the administration, military and royal family. From the sixth year of Wude to the first year of Tianbao, it was already early It has achieved results, but unfortunately, after the second year of Tianbao, Zhang Suqing, Qin Xiang and others died or demoted, and the government has stopped, everything has changed back to the same state, even worse than before.

This is also the reason why Li Xuandu hated Empress Dowager Xie deeply. He exchanged national power for power, ignored the overall situation because of his own selfishness, and seized the heart of all people in the world with his own heart. He can be called a sinner of the country.

Thinking of this, Li Xuan couldn't help but remember a sentence that Zhang Suqing often said during his lifetime: "You will prosper with this, and you will die with this." The four ministers were prospered because of Emperor Wude's heavy use, and naturally followed the leadership of Emperor Wude. After dying, isn’t it the current Empress Dowager Xie? She defeated the four ministers by using the royal family, but the Wei Dynasty would definitely be doomed because of the royal family. There would be no end to the collapse of the nest. How could she protect herself at that time?
