Taiping Inn

Hu Liang spat out a mouthful of blood, casually stabbed the Grandmaster on the ground beside him, sat cross-legged, and began to circulate his Qi to recover from his injuries. At the same time, he couldn't help cursing, "I didn't die in the hands of the Wudao Sect, but almost fell into the hands of this old man. You deserve to die with your eyes wide open!"

Li Xuandu took back the Green Dragon and the Purple Phoenix, glanced at Chen Guhong's body, and said nothing.

People are dead, and the biggest grudges are just one death. After death, the grudges are cleared.

Li Xuandu saved Chen Guhong from the Zhengyi Sect back then. It can be said that Chen Guhong was born because of Li Xuandu. So today, he was fixed in the vitals by Li Xuandu's flying sword, and he died because of Li Xuandu. The cause and effect in the world, every drink and every bite, has been determined by heaven.

Of course, he hated Chen Guhong for his evil deeds and his revenge, but he couldn't say that he was deeply impressed. In fact, he had seen too many such things in the past fifteen years and had become numb. In the rivers and lakes, if you want to avoid being drowned by the big waves, if you want to stand out, if you want to become famous, you have to do things against your conscience. But if you do it too many times, you will forget what conscience is. If you only seek self-interest, you will end up in ruin.

As the businessmen and wealthy people often say, small wealth depends on diligence, medium wealth depends on skills, and great wealth depends on virtue. For someone like Chen Guhong, who can get to where he is today, he must have the two words "diligence" and he will not be clumsy in strategy and tactics. But if he lacks the word "virtue", he is destined to have difficulty in achieving great things. Even if he is in power for a while, it will be difficult to last, and he will have to pay it back one day.

Chen Guhong may not understand these words, but with the benefits in front of him and the shortcut to success right under his feet, how many people can resist the temptation? In the end, it is easier said than done.

Li Xuandu turned his gaze to Hu Liang again and asked, "Tianliang, do you need me to protect you?"

Hu Liang shook his head and said, "My injuries are not too serious, and I still have the strength to fight. The small fish and shrimp in this Nanshan Garden can't do anything to me. You should go and see the little girl quickly, don't let her get into trouble."

Li Xuandu hummed and rushed to the yard where they lived.

In a thousand words, he and Hu Liang were not here to kill people. The reason for killing the masters of Qingluan Guard and Chen Guhong of Nanshan Garden was to protect themselves. If the little girl had any mistakes, then why did he take the risk to come to Luzhou this time? What's the point of rushing to Longmen Mansion? So the little girl can't have any mistakes.

When Li Xuandu returned to the yard, he stopped suddenly and looked at an uninvited guest here, with a bit of murderous intent.

A fat man walked out of the little girl's room slowly. He was born with a smiling face, and he looked like a businessman. However, at this time, he held a famous Wenluan knife in his right hand, and pressed Zhou Shuning's shoulder with his left hand, and put the Wenluan knife on Zhou Shuning's neck.

This man was the commander of the Qingluan Guard of Luzhou. He had set up a hotel at the border crossing between Huainan Prefecture and Fengyin Prefecture. This time, he came here with Gu Fengxian and Bai Chouqiu, and he was responsible for arresting Zhou Tingchao's daughter Zhou Shuning. After he came here and caught the little girl, he waited for news from the two adults. As a result, he saw the opening of the mountain villa formation, which was so powerful that he dared not move rashly. He didn't dare to come out to see the situation until the formation disappeared. As a result, he saw Li Xuandu.

This fat man who looked more like a businessman than a Qingluan Guard had fine beads of sweat on his forehead, and even the white blade in his hand trembled slightly.

Although Li Xuandu did not know this man, he recognized the Wenluan Knife in his hand and had guessed his identity. He said straight to the point: "I don't want to commit murder again. If you let the person go, I can spare your life."

The beads of sweat on the fat man's forehead became more and more dense, and his right hand holding the knife trembled more and more. The blade was very close to the girl's neck. After another tremor, it immediately drew a light red line. The girl bit her lips tightly and refused to cry out.

The extremely nervous fat man was unaware of this, just as if he was facing a great enemy, but Li Xuandu saw it clearly, and then he really had some murderous intent.

The fat man said with trembling teeth: "This hero, I am just following the orders of my superiors. I have no intention of going against you. The hero is wise and must keep his word."

Li Xuandu looked at Zhou Shuning, who was pale. His face did not show anger, but his heart was full of anger and murderous intent. He had no parents since childhood and was picked up from the dead by his master. Because of his excellent talent and bones, he was envied by his senior brothers, so there was no friendship between the senior brothers. Therefore, apart from his master, he had no relatives. He had been alone for these years until he met the little girl. After spending more than half a month with her, he really treated her as his half sister.

Li Xuandu emphasized his tone and said in a deep voice: "Let her go."

The fat man was startled, but he dared not let go of Zhou Shuning. The left hand pressing the little girl's shoulder unconsciously increased the strength.

Although the little girl had already stepped into the realm of controlling qi, she had skipped the solid realm after all, so she couldn't help but groaned in pain.

The fat man didn't notice it at all, just looked at Li Xuandu and said in a trembling voice: "Please swear an oath, as long as you swear, I will let her go immediately."

Li Xuandu said softly: "You have no chance."

The next moment, a green light flashed at the cuffs of Li Xuandu.

The fat man didn't have time to react at all. His eyes suddenly widened, and a deep blood hole appeared between his eyebrows.

With a clang, the Wenluan knife in his hand fell to the ground, and the whole person fell backwards, stirring up a circle of dust.

Zhou Shuning was still a little frightened, biting her lips tightly, her face pale, and she didn't come back to her senses until Li Xuandu came forward.

Li Xuandu called softly, "Shuning."

Zhou Shuning didn't respond.

Li Xuandu squatted down, patted the little girl's back gently, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, little sister, I have my brother."

Zhou Shuning finally reacted, burst into tears, stretched out her hands to hug Li Xuandu's neck, and said in a sobbing voice: "Brother, I thought you didn't want me anymore."

Li Xuandu picked her up and said softly: "How could you not want you? In fact, someone invited me and your uncle Hu to drink, and I didn't call you because I saw that you were not awake. I just didn't expect there would be thieves and scared you. It's my fault."

The little girl buried her head in Li Xuandu's arms and sobbed softly.

At a young age, she suffered a great change and lost her parents. Unknowingly, the little girl has regarded Li Xuandu as her only relative in this world.

The reason why the little girl cried and was sad was not because she was kidnapped by the fat man, but because she thought Li Xuandu didn't want her anymore. So when someone put a knife on her neck, she didn't cry out loud, but after seeing Li Xuandu, she couldn't hold back her tears.

There are only four kinds of emotions in the world: gratitude, resentment, love and hatred.

People who are frivolous are seldom loyal, and people who are unfeeling are cold.

What kind of person is Li Xuandu? He is not frivolous, nor is he unfeeling. It's just that his experience is bizarre. To outsiders, it looks like an absurd story. In this story, he has been glorious and embarrassed.

In the land of Jiangbei and Heshuo, a man and a sword walk alone, full of vigor and vitality.

The smoke of war in the northwest border, walking together in the world, full of passion.

The imperial capital is turbulent, and the chaos meets the beauty, and they fall in love with each other.

But unfortunately, human power is sometimes exhausted, and in the end, he is unable to turn the tide and leaves sadly. Afterwards, he dreamed of the past countless times, and woke up in the middle of the night. The three-foot-long sword hanging on the head of the bed trembled. He was in a cage, with a lump in his chest, and a pent-up depression that had nowhere to vent. He could only bury it all in his heart.

The Jiangbei heroes regarded him as an enemy who fought against him, Hu Liang regarded him as a benefactor who had a life-and-death friendship, Zhang Baigui regarded him as a close friend, Zhang Baiyue regarded him as a good man who trusted him in this life, and his fellow brothers regarded him as a person who wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.

Fifteen flowers bloomed and withered, fifteen winds and rains, spring and autumn, so he could mostly take it lightly.

The only thing that made him uneasy was the death of Zhang Baigui and Zhang Baiyue, so he didn't want to repeat the same mistake on Zhou Shuning.

When the little girl raised her head, Li Xuandu stretched out his fingers to wipe away the tears on her face and said softly: "Shuning, don't cry, little sister, don't cry."
