In a few days, Li Wangchen and Li Mochou had arrived in Wuxi.

After arriving, in the evening, Li Mochou originally wanted to rest, but Li Wangchen took her to a restaurant called "Songhe Tower" first.

This restaurant stands on the street, with a strong aroma. There are pedestrians coming and going, and it is very prosperous. However, the signboard is blackened by smoke over time, but only the three gold characters are shining. The aroma of wine and meat is faintly emanating from it, and the sound of chef's knives and spoons is the same as that of the waiter.

The shouts were mixed together.

Li Mochou asked doubtfully, "Are you hungry? But you just ate."

Li Wangchen's face was full of smiles, "You didn't know that this is a famous place. Let's go up and take a look around, and we won't come to Wuxi in vain."

He said he was just taking a stroll, but it turned out to be just a stroll. The waiter followed and said he was looking for someone to meet instead of eating.

Li Mochou followed him around suspiciously, then went to the second floor and took a look around. She didn't see the rugged northern man and the noble southern man having a drink together. The two of them did nothing and walked around obediently.

After walking down, Li Mochou just felt that it was a waste of time and was not happy for a while, but Li Wangchen nodded and smiled, as if he had gained something and the trip was worthwhile.

"What kind of scenic spot is this?" Li Mochou couldn't help complaining, "There is no good scenery, and there are no treasures and artifacts. Where is the reputation and where is the beauty?"

Li Wangchen just said mysteriously, "This is similar to the restaurant where we first met. The building is ordinary, but the history is different."

Seeing Li Mochou's confused expression, thinking hard about what great people had lived in this building, he turned around and laughed. A sense of playfulness that only he could understand in the world suddenly arose in his heart, making him feel it again.

This world is so exciting and full of surprises.

Today, I have seen two of the famous buildings in Jinshu, Huiyan Tower in Hengyang City and Songhe Tower in Wuxi City. As Li Mochou said, the scenery is not good, but you can think of many wonderful things.

Adds a lot of fun to life.

Hey, what other buildings are there... Oh, by the way, Jiaxing Yanyu Tower, the old Taoist priest Qiu Chuji was not born with innate talent and died young, but he did not have the names of Guo Jing, Yang Guo, Guo Xiang and others, the "Legend of the Condor Heroes" of this world

The plot has not happened yet, but I don’t know if there is still such an appointment...

Li Wangchen thought to himself, but he did such a thing, which made Li Mochou sulky and unhappy. He felt embarrassed, so he strongly asked to accompany her to visit the scenic spots around Wuxi.

At this time, night has arrived. If this happened in the Ming Dynasty, it would be difficult to happen.

Unlike the Tang Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, a major symbol of the Song Dynasty was the lifting of the curfew, and the bustling night markets, with teahouses, wine shops, noodle shops, fruit, colorful silks, woolen threads, incense candles, sauces, rice, and fish and meat dishes everywhere.

Dingbu is recognized as the most fun place in China.

At this time, the sky is dark and the stars are twinkling, but the streets are not as deserted as the Ming Dynasty. Instead, they are busy, noisy, and colorful. The earth has been lit up in waves, and there are two brilliant spots of light above and below in the darkness.

It rose up and seemed to be connected into one piece.

In order to please this, Li Mochou showed her cold and charming character, "You can't even try to coax me, I'm not that easy to dismiss."

Having said that, as she saw several sights, ate candied haws, watched the tide, watched performances, reviewed plays, ate, drank, and played, Li Mochou couldn't help but have a little more smile on her face. But every time

After Li Wangchen glanced at her, she immediately returned to her cold and proud look, as if she was unwilling and wanted to go back, so Li Wangchen had to look at her secretly.

During this process, naturally there was bragging among people in the world, and Li Wangchen also relied on his sharp ears and eyes to get some news from the locals.

This was also necessary preparation for him to stay in Wuxi for one night.

As Li Xunhuan said, the Song Dynasty was weak but the people were strong, and the major forces were divided, maintaining a strange scene that was both turbulent and stable, both chaotic and peaceful. Whether you can live a good life does not depend on your ability, but purely on your ability.

What's the backing?

According to this rule, the current actual master of most of Jiangnan is not the Song Dynasty court, but the Murong family.

This large force is also one of the "Nine Extremes of the World" that shakes the north and south of the Yangtze River. It is as famous as the Power Gang, the Beggar Gang, the Sun and Moon Sect, the Money Gang, the Tang Sect and other forces all over the world. They jointly maintain the rivers and lakes pattern that competes with the Three Kingdoms of China.

Even the Song Dynasty court only held some dispatch positions in name, and the real interests had to make way for the local children of the Murong family.

Since the Murong family is such a behemoth that shakes the world, it is naturally not the three or two kittens with Murong Fu as the leader in the original Tian Long Ba Bu, but the Murong family that brings together many martial arts worlds in previous lives.

Among them, there are many names that Li Wangchen is familiar with.

The three most outstanding people of the previous generation of the Murong family were Murong Shiqing, Murong Bo and Murong Qiudi.

Murong Qiudi was a peerless woman, but unfortunately she had good martial arts skills and good looks, but she fell in love with Xie Xiaofeng, the third young master of Shenjian Villa, and lived in seclusion. Murong Bo was said to be a wandering wild crane who didn't care about fame and fortune, and was a martial arts fanatic.

He practiced hard in Murong Longcheng's "The Stars Move" and went crazy. He passed away long ago.

In the end, the remaining Murong Shiqing naturally became the contemporary head of the family and a well-known figure in the righteous path. He had made great achievements in his youth and is still recognized as a master figure today. He also echoed the Northern Beggar Gang and formed a faint opposition to the power.

Gang, the Bai Dao Alliance of King Zhu Datian.

Compared to Murong Qiudi, who was trapped in love, and Murong Bo, who was obsessed with madness, people in the world have always admired and admired Murong Shiqing for his superb martial arts, extraordinary bearing, peerless grace, and uprightness. Among the three, he was considered the most powerful.

Terrible, terrifying, unfathomable.

But to Li Wangchen's ears, the rankings of these three people were completely different.

Murong Qiudi is by no means the infatuated person imagined by others, but a heroine with great power. Although she was rejected by Xie Xiaofeng and became a loser in love, she has secretly become the leader of the underground organization "Tianzun".

She has great power and great achievements. Her followers have penetrated into many sects, large and small. Xie Xiaofeng left because he was afraid of her ambition.

Murong Bo was an ambitious man who never forgot his ambition to restore the country. He wanted to ascend to the throne and restore the country of Yan. In the eyes of outsiders, he was just a martial arts idiot, but in fact he stirred up countless conspiracies, and even faked his death.

It's nonsense. Now in the Shaolin Temple, I don't know how many magical skills I have secretly learned.

Compared with these two people, Murong Shiqing is just an ordinary BOSS in "The Wonderful Heroes of China". Although he is as famous as the head of Shaolin Wudang, he can be dealt with by Liu Suifeng, the third figure of the Power Gang, together with the Tang Clan. It is really nothing.

An earth-shattering person.

This may also be true. If it is crude, it is called "a biting dog does not bark." If it is more elegant, it is called "Those who are good at fighting have no great achievements."

Li Wangchen firmly believed that among the people of the previous generation of the Murong family, Murong Shiqing was probably the best to deal with. But the other two, who were underestimated by people in the world, were incomparably terrifying because of their high vision, far-sightedness, and ambition. It is so big that it is not limited to the Murong family, let alone Murong Shiqing.

The previous generation already had such a figure, and the next generation naturally flourished and spread its branches, forming an extremely large family line with descendants all over the Jiangnan region. The power was so entangled that it was difficult to shake.

Among this group of people, the most outstanding people are Murong Shiqing's nephew "Murong Three Heroes", Murong Qiudi's descendants "Nine Beauties in the World", and this time Li Wangchen went to find them. , a descendant of the famous Murong Bo, "Murong Fu" who is known as the number one member of the younger generation of the Murong family.

However, the Murong family headquarters where Murong Shiqing is located is far away from Yanziwu, Suzhou. The Nine Shows in the World are even in Qixingtang.

The two cities of Suzhou and Wuxi were both controlled by Murong Fu.

But Murong Fu's situation seemed not good.

Li Wangchen is no longer Wu Xiameng. During the several dangerous struggles in the Ming Dynasty, although he was far away from the center of power, he could still get a glimpse of the leopard and draw parallels.

And now, I can already hear some things from the clues in other people's mouths and gossip news: it seems that since Murong Bo's "death", Murong Fu's status has become a side branch among side branches, a side branch among side branches. so far away from the center of power.

——The father and son seem to have inherited the characteristic of making mistakes in multiple-choice questions in the original work, so that in this world, although they are in the huge Murong family, they have no support in the family and have become unpopular. Marginal characters.

After visiting the Dasong Night Market, the two returned to the inn and had a good sleep.

The next morning, they set out early and worked hard. Soon they arrived outside Suzhou. They searched for people and inquired about the location of the nearby "Mantuo Villa". They asked several people in succession, but they all knew nothing. Fortunately, there was someone there. A quack man, I asked for some clues.

The man couldn't help but be shocked when he saw the appearance of these two weak women, "What are you two looking for? Is that the Man-Eating Villa?"

Li Wangchen and Li Mochou looked at each other and wondered, "Why is it called the Man-Eating Villa?"

The man explained, "The villa is also a beautiful place. It is said that there are many camellias, colorful and blooming beautifully. However, it is said that there is a female goblin at the head who can eat people. Over the years, many people have passed by. There were so many people, it was almost impossible for anyone to escape from it. Moreover, most of the dead were men, and it is said that they were chopped into pieces and fed as fertilizer."

Li Wangchen said with great joy, "Yes, yes, yes, this is where we are going. I don't know which direction it is, please let me know."

Man:?

When the news of the two bold gangsters' visit to the Man-eating Villa spread throughout Suzhou city, Li Wangchen and Li Mochou had already found the direction leading to Mantuo Villa.

Taihu Lake is two hundred miles from east to west and one hundred and twenty miles from north to south. It is vast and covered with reeds, lotus leaves, and water chestnut leaves. It is blown by the wind and waves and floats indefinitely. It is difficult to know where you are. To move freely in it, you need more than a good environment. The method of punting requires a good memory and the ability to remember the coming and going directions of the waterway.

However, for martial arts like Li Wangchen and Li Mochou, such obstacles are nothing ordinary.

They don't need boats, they can walk on water faster than birds, and move forward according to the direction they ask. They don't have to avoid reeds, lotus leaves, and water chestnuts, and their steps are straight, and they don't need to remember any criss-crossing waterways. After an hour, I gradually saw a large camellia tree reflecting the water and turning red, as bright as clouds.

Li Mochou groaned, "I came here when I was a child."

Li Wangchen was stunned for a moment before he remembered that Li Mochou and Li Qingluo were from the same clan. They were originally from the Song Dynasty, so they had naturally been in contact with each other. However, as she said before, although Li Qingluo's surname was Li, she actually considered herself to have nothing to do with the Li family.

, and Li Mochou must have had a few unfamiliar connections.

Li Mochou walked through the water with a look of reminiscence on her face, "My father was still here at that time, and it was he who brought me here to visit relatives. But his martial arts skills were low, and although Li Qingluo was not as fierce and domineering towards him as others, she was still

If you just treat people politely, they will stop coming over time."

Li Wangchen said, "Your father?"

This was the first time he had heard Li Mochou talk about his family background, and it was also a rare knowledge blind spot for Li Wangchen, who knew countless martial arts characters and experiences - Li Mochou in the original work naturally did not have such a background as the Li family.

Li Wangchen had a hunch that this would be a very different side of Li Mochou from what he knew in his previous life.

Li Mochou nodded, "Our side seems to have exhausted the last few bits of essence since Li Qiushui's lineage. Later, everyone's talent was mediocre. My father was just an ordinary bodyguard who made a living. He taught me some basic martial arts when I was a child.

, and later died. He died peacefully, and no one cared about it. Fortunately, my cousin Lin recommended me to join the Ancient Tomb Sect. Otherwise, I would have left with my father now, or I would have become a famous prostitute in a brothel. Anyway,

No one in the Li family can help me."

Li Wangchen said, "Aunt, I...hey, I don't know how to comfort you."

Li Mochou glanced at him and saw that he was helpless and clumsy, so she smiled and said, "You have always been glib and playful, but if you really comfort me, I won't feel sincere anymore."

Li Wangchen laughed and said, "Besides my glib tongue and playful smile, I also have one thing, that is, I always have wine now and get drunk the next. It is better for us to endure the pain and live with a smile than to sigh. If my aunt thinks that what I said is not good,

, just scold me."

Li Mochou nodded and whispered, "Bastard, idiot, idiot, little thief."

Li Wangchen suddenly showed a bitter look on his face, "Are you really scolding me?"

Li Mochou snorted, turned around and looked away, no longer paying attention to him.
