The old man didn't feel embarrassed at all when it was revealed that he was drunk. He bared his yellow teeth and said with a smile: "Young man, where are you going?"
"Visiting relatives." Li Yu said casually, ready to change tables with Lian'er at any time.
The old man's hands looked like they hadn't been washed for a long time. They were wrinkled and stained with black mud. There was a smell when he spoke, "From your accent, you don't sound like a local. The road outside is not smooth. Be careful when you go out."
.”
"It's okay, uneven roads can be filled. Now that the Holy Emperor is on the throne, Haiyan and the river are clear, there are people who don't pick up things on the road, and they don't close their homes at night. Brother, please don't talk nonsense." Li Yu really couldn't stand this sloppy old man, so he picked up the wine pot and said: "Lian
Son, go to the room to eat."
"Second brother, I'll come up and clean up later."
The waiter glanced at him, hesitated to speak, and finally nodded.
The sloppy old man took a deep breath and said, "It's a good wine, but it's a pity I didn't drink it."
After he finished speaking, he stood up and left. Everyone in the lobby looked at Li Yu on the stairs with pity.
There are tables, chairs and benches in the guest room. After Li Yu finished eating, he said to Lian'er who was cleaning up the dishes: "Don't take off your clothes when you go to bed. Someone may come to cause trouble tonight."
"Oh." Lian'er looked a little worried, "Can you beat me?"
"Let's see and then talk."
Li Yu glanced at the roof. If it didn't work, there would be a helper. Although Li Yu felt that Baimao was more likely to run away first if he didn't know enough.
The days in late autumn are very short, and after sunset, the sky slowly becomes dark.
Li Yu closed the window, locked the door, and pinched it with his fingers. There were two wooden figures guarding the window.
Xiao Jinlian hugged the pillow, looking like she was facing a formidable enemy. Li Yu smiled and rubbed her bun, "Don't be nervous, it's just that thieves may come."
"Brother Li Yu, please take a nap, I'll stay here to watch."
Li Yu's face was full of confidence, he shook his head and said: "No one needs to guard it. With the way I behave today, it is impossible for anyone to touch our room without me noticing it."
"Brother Li Yu is great!"
"Haha, go to sleep."
It was a quiet night, and Li Yu went to bed and saw that Xiao Jinlian really trusted him and slept soundly.
Li Yu smiled slightly. It seemed that he was worrying too much. He rested his head on Li Jun's sword and slowly closed his eyes.
...
Li Yu, who was sleeping in a daze, suddenly felt a little itchy.
He opened his eyes suddenly and saw a furry thing almost sticking to his face. He was so frightened that he rolled away and shot a fireball with his fingers. Only then did he see clearly that it was a sloppy old man with a beard and hair all connected together.
His face was expressionless, looking straight at him.
"Boy, it's good to be alert, but it's a pity that it's too late."
Li Yu said nothing and glanced at the bed. Little Jinlian was still sleeping.
He sniffed lightly, "Miscellaneous smoke?"
"That's right. I'll eat you because of your delicate skin and tender flesh, and then I'll give this little girl to the adults. I wonder how much silver reward I can get." The old man laughed arrogantly, with a voice like
The friction between two stones makes the listeners unspeakably uncomfortable.
Li Yu had mastered the Water-Living Technique. This kind of detoxification by smoke only took a moment. However, he had a frightened expression on his face and his body was slumped. "We have no grievances. I will give you as much as you want if you spare my life."
you."
The old man was even more proud. He just liked to see the helpless expression of his prey when it begged for mercy.
This kind of pleasure is more satisfying than riding on a girl.
He moved forward slowly, walking as fast as he was walking in the afternoon, fully enjoying the feeling of holding someone else's life in his hands at this moment.
Suddenly, a look of disbelief flashed in his eyes, his eyelids slowly lowered, and he looked at his chest.
I saw a small hole there, with blood flowing out. In the corner of the bed was the little golden lotus, with the hand seal still in place, covering my eyes and not daring to look there.
Li Yu, who was in formal attire and working hard, looked at her in astonishment. Lian'er had specialized in water spirit. He actually detoxified himself and used water vapor to turn ice for the first time.
The old man's body slowly fell down. Li Yu waved his hand and a vine wrapped around him.
"Brother Li Yu, I'm so scared." Xiao Jinlian cried and grabbed Li Yu's arm.
Li Yu rolled his eyelids and said comfortingly: "It's okay. If you join our group, sooner or later you will kill demons, punish evil and promote good."
Two wooden men jumped down from the window, searched the old man's body, and took out a letter from his arms.
After the search, the vines wrapped around him tighter and tighter, like a python, splitting from his head and swallowing the body. The vines retreated along the window.
Li Yu moved his fingers, and the letter came into his hands, and he read it carefully. It turned out to be a letter written by Gao Qiu to his nephew.
The letter mentioned that he and the boy next to Gao Yanei knew what happened that night, but he was not dead. Afterwards, he told Gao Qiu about the matter. He was in an important position. Shenxiao Palace rescued Emperor Maode and pardoned him.
You can't hide it from him at all.
Therefore, like Lu Zhishen, he became a suspect in the murder of Gao Yanei. Gao Qiu himself did not dare to offend Shenxiao Palace in Kaifeng Mansion, so he asked his nephew Gao Lian to take action.
I was still too careless, thinking that God was unaware of it, and I completely underestimated Gao Qiu's energy.
He was considered one of the most powerful figures among the Six Dynasties.
The Commander-in-Chief of the Song Dynasty, who was almost in charge of the most powerful imperial army in the Song Dynasty, was not easy to deceive. His nephew Gao Lian was not easy to offend either.
Gao Lian himself was a master of Taoism, and he was in charge of the government. He controlled the military affairs of Gaotang Prefecture, and he was a real frontier official.
This old man was just a messenger who was eager to achieve success. He deliberately pretended to be a guest and tested Li Yu on the road.
He only thought that Li Yu was cowardly and afraid of getting into trouble when he went upstairs to avoid trouble. He was sure that Li Yu had no ability, so he even thought of intercepting and killing Li Yu halfway, and then went to ask for credit.
Li Yu took a deep breath. If he hadn't been greedy for power, he might have really run into Gao Lian's ambush. After all, he was definitely going to Gaotangzhou, and there were many evil stars nearby.
"Gao Lian..."
Little Jinlian lay comfortably on Li Yu, like a koala, sticking out her head to look over curiously.
It's a pity that she can't read...
"Brother Li Yu, what's wrong?" Her beautiful eyes were hazy, because she was so close to Li Yu, her face was red and her ears were red, and her body was trembling slightly.
Li Yu didn't doubt that he was there, he just thought that she had just killed someone and was nervous.
When he turned his head, he saw her pink cherry lips which were as moist as cream, her pink cheeks were dizzy, and her eyes were full of emotions, and she was startled.
This little girl...
Is this the reaction a girl who just killed someone should have?
Li Yu suddenly remembered that this was the second time Xiao Jinlian had killed someone, and she followed him, never seeing any storms, and always being calm.
Seeing Li Yu staring at her blankly, Xiao Jinlian felt ashamed and happy in her heart. She let out a low voice and raised her face slightly to let Li Yu take a closer look. A pair of jade arms quietly wrapped around Li Yu's neck.
As expected of you, Jin Lian, you are truly a self-taught person...
