Li Muchan came to the back garden, and Zhu Xiaoyue accompanied him step by step.
The bright sunshine shines into the garden, and the surroundings are lush and green. The fragrance of flowers is faint and vague, and it floats into the nose, refreshing the heart and mind.
The back garden is quite large, with a small lake, weeping willows on the lakeside, and a path around it. On the other side of the path are pine trees, which are so lush and green that they are black. Several flower beds fall on the path and need to be detoured.
One side is green and soft, the other side is dark green and solemn, bounded by paths, each forming a world.
Li Muchan and Zhu Xiaoyue were walking on the path, surrounded by fragrance. As the sun got higher and higher, the fragrance of flowers became stronger and stronger.
"Brother, what should I do?" Zhu Xiaoyue suddenly said.
Li Muchan stepped on the pebbles under his feet, walking slowly with his hands behind his back, shaking his head, still thinking deeply.
Zhu Xiaoyue said: "The masters from Zhujiabao are coming soon, how to arrange them?"
Li Muchan turned around and said, "Madam, how are their martial arts?"
"Dad sent out the strongest masters in the castle this time, two of them are similar to Feng Lao and Yang Lao." Zhu Xiaoyue said.
Li Muchan smiled: "Thank you very much, father-in-law."
Zhu Xiaoyue said: "Dad said this is a critical time and there is no room for mistakes. He wants you to be careful. If you really don't succeed, you must protect yourself first. With the Qingyun Sword Sect here, no one can do anything to you."
Li Muchan nodded and shook his head.
If it were the original Lin Zhenchuan, he might have stayed out of the matter and ignored the dispute between the family heads. He was close to Lin Zhenying, but he did not offend Lin Zhenbei. In any case, the position of the family head was not his turn. It was better to watch the fun and see who would take the position of the family head.
The seat depends on who you lean against.
On the contrary, he is considered to have established his own sect, and with the support of the Qingyun Sword Sect, no one can do anything about it. They must focus on winning over him and will not deal with him rashly.
He is now betting on Lin Zhenying. Once Lin Zhenying takes over and becomes the head of the family, the rewards will be huge, and the Qingyun Sword Sect will definitely increase in strength.
In the eyes of outsiders, he was seeking wealth through danger.
Zhu Xiaoyue said softly: "Brother, I have something unclear and I don't know whether to tell it or not."
"If you have anything to say, madam, just say it." Li Muchan smiled and said, "Madam has always been straight-tempered, why did she suddenly take a detour?"
Zhu Xiaoyue's cheeks were blushing and as beautiful as flowers.
The two have been in a cold war since they got married, ignoring each other. He seemed to think she was dirty and would not even touch her, and she was happy to do so.
This time Li Muchan was seriously injured, and she suddenly had thoughts of reconciliation and came to take care of him. She didn't expect that her husband would be so tolerant and kind to her, as if he was a different person.
She suddenly became nervous, her face flushed unconsciously, and she was shy and unspeakable, just like a girl.
She blushed, suppressed her shyness, and said softly: "Brother, I don't understand why you have to get involved in the fight for the head of the family. Why don't you stay out and watch the excitement? It makes a difference who is the head of the family?"
Li Muchan shook his head: "Madam, if I don't deal with my second brother, if he becomes the head of the family, how can I get any good fruits?"
"You are the head of the Qingyun Sword Sect. Even if he doesn't like you, there is nothing he can do about you. The children of the Lin family cannot kill each other." Zhu Xiaoyue said, the blush on his face slowly disappearing.
Li Muchan smiled: "This family rule is just for decoration and cannot be taken seriously... Even if he doesn't harm me, as long as he uses a little trick, our Qingyun Sword Sect will have to live with it."
"Well, that's true." Zhu Xiaoyue nodded: "I think the third brother has no hope. What if the second brother becomes the head of the family, wouldn't it be even worse?"
Li Muchan suddenly turned around, left the path and came to the willow tree. He opened the dancing willow branches and looked at the clear lake. He sighed: "It's just a matter of time to die... If you help the third brother, you still have a chance of survival. If you don't help, you won't have it in a short time."
It’s harmful, but something will happen sooner or later.”
"Even if the second brother becomes the head of the family, you just need to ease the relationship with him." Zhu Xiaoyue said.
Li Muchan shook his head: "In the eyes of the second brother, the Qingyun Sword Sect is just a piece of fat. He will definitely swallow it. No matter how much I try to please him, I can't stop his greed."
"Alas..." Zhu Xiaoyue shook her head.
Only then did she realize how hard her husband was. Not only did he have to take care of the trivial matters of the sword sect, but he also had to scheming all day long. She couldn't stand such a day.
Li Muchan said: "Invite them over in the evening, and I will take a look at their martial arts."
"Brother, what do you want them to do?" Zhu Xiaoyue asked after nodding.
Li Muchan smiled and said: "Second brother is probably going to play some trick. Let's try to pull it off and see if we have a chance."
"You want to kill the second brother?!" Zhu Xiaoyue's face changed slightly.
Li Muchan smiled: "Just teach him a lesson, I won't kill him."
Zhu Xiaoyue said: "Don't do stupid things, brother. The children of the Lin family cannot kill each other. Once discovered, the eldest brother will be expelled from the Lin family... There is no airtight wall in the world. Even if they are loyal and reliable, they cannot be protected."
Leak it out!”
Li Muchan looked at her for a few times, then looked away when she blushed, and said with a smile: "It's rare for you to have such knowledge."
It is not scary to be kicked out of the Lin family. What is scary is that you have to lose your martial arts first and then be kicked out of the Lin family. Without martial arts, you will be a useless person with no strength to tie a chicken. You will never stand up in your life, and you will be like a walking corpse.
He could see Zhu Xiaoyue's worry.
Zhu Xiaoyue said: "Brother, you must listen to me this time. It's not worth taking such a risk. I just can't stay in the Lin family in the future. There is also Zhujiabao. My father only has a daughter like me. In the future, Zhujiabao will not be your eldest brother."
of?"
Li Muchan smiled and nodded: "Okay, I understand."
*************************************************
Zhu Xiaoyue stared at him worriedly for a long time. Seeing him looking at her calmly, Zhu Xiaoyue blushed and turned away, feeling relieved.
Li Muchan smiled and said: "I won't go to see them. You go and see them and tell them to assassinate the second brother at night, but don't go to death, just scare them."
"Okay." Zhu Xiaoyue nodded hurriedly.
She secretly thought that when her father came, he must have told them to listen to their eldest brother. Once the eldest brother gave the order to kill the second brother no matter what, they would never hesitate, and the matter would become a big deal.
Being slightly injured is not the same thing as being dead. With the power of the Lin family, whoever is able to find out here will also implicate Zhujiabao.
Li Muchan said: "Go ahead, I'm going out to relax, I'm a little bored."
"Brother, are you healed..." Zhu Xiaoyue said.
Li Muchan waved his hand: "It doesn't matter. I don't want to go for a walk on the street. I feel uncomfortable all over. I will come back after walking around for a while. Don't worry, I will take care of myself."
Seeing his determined expression, Zhu Xiaoyue reluctantly nodded in agreement.
As she left, Li Muchan also left the Qingyun Sword Sect and headed straight out of the city. There was no one around him. The two guardians were recuperating from their injuries. The other two guardians ignored common matters. He didn't say hello, and they didn't know to take the initiative to follow Li Muchan.
.
He walked out of the south city gate alone, then ducked into a forest, and then walked into the mountains. He performed Qing Kung Fu for half an hour and stopped outside a valley.
The location of this valley is excellent. The mouth of the valley is located deep in a pine forest. Ordinary people will not go so deep. The deeper you go, the more dangerous it becomes. There may be some ferocious animals.
And there are no traces of human habitation around the woods, so it doesn't attract anyone's attention.
Li Muchan's figure floated across the treetops like a ghost and landed in the valley. What he saw was a lush green field, layered on top of each other, forming terraces.
There are fields to the east and peach, pear and apricot trees to the west. It is such a paradise. Li Muchan couldn't bear it and had the urge to turn around and leave.
After standing and looking at it for a moment, he took a deep breath, shook his head, and became determined again.
When he first asked Lin Zhenchuan, he guessed that he should have a secret force. Unexpectedly, Lin Zhenchuan secretly prepared it by accident, and naturally he couldn't hide it from him.
He asked a few questions in detail. Although Lin Zhenchuan didn't say anything, they were all reflected in his mind. He found out that he already knew about this secret nest.
He pursed his lips into a whistle, five long and three short, mixed together, floating throughout the valley, and suddenly several people emerged from the peach forest to the west.
The first two were middle-aged men with thin bodies and their feet were as silent as civet cats. They came to Li Muchan silently, followed by three young men, a girl and two men.
**********************************************
"Master!" The middle-aged man on the left clasped his fists. His eyes were dull, but his temples were bulging, as if there were two small walnuts hidden there, which showed that he had profound cultivation.
The middle-aged man on the right has bright eyes, and his gaze is like substance. He has a similar appearance to the middle-aged man on the left. He also clasped his fists and saluted: "Master."
Li Muchan nodded, looked at the two of them, and sighed.
"Ya'er, you go back." The middle-aged man on the left turned around and waved his hand.
The girl was pretty and pleasant, with soft and gentle eyes. She looked at Li Muchan and whispered: "Dad, is this the leader?"
"Hurry up and leave!" the middle-aged man glared.
Li Muchan sighed: "Brother Zuo, forget it, let's go out and talk."
"The boss doesn't blame the wild girl for not knowing etiquette." The middle-aged man said apologetically.
Li Muchan forced a smile: "You don't have to be so particular."
He nodded to the three young men, turned around and walked out. The two middle-aged men glared at the three of them, then turned around and followed Li Muchan to the woods outside and stood under a big pine tree.
Li Muchan stood under the tree, patting the hard bark, silently.
The two middle-aged men didn't say anything. After a while, the middle-aged man on the left said: "Master, do you want us to go out?"
Li Muchan nodded slowly: "I really don't want to disturb the purity of the two brothers unless I have to."
"The master's order is that after such a long time of peace, we are satisfied!" The middle-aged man on the left said with a smile.
"Yes, Master, there is no need to be embarrassed." The middle-aged man on the right nodded.
Li Muchan said: "I won't be pretentious anymore. You can help me assassinate one person."
"Sir, let's talk," said the middle-aged man on the left.
Li Muchan said: "Bring a pen and paper over here, and I will draw it for you to see."
The middle-aged man on the right said: "Master, wait a moment."
After saying that, he disappeared into a puff of smoke and reappeared in a blink of an eye, with a pen, ink, paper and inkstone in his hand, and some water had been poured into the inkstone.
Li Muchan nodded secretly. Zuo Erlang's Qing Gong was indeed impressive. Looking at their cultivation level, although they were not strong, they were proficient in a secret technique that stimulated their potential. By using the secret technique, their cultivation level was increased by three to four times, which was considered to be the best.
He is a master, and he is good at the technique of killing with one blow, so he is hard to guard against.
Originally, Lin Zhenchuan could not prevent the assassination of the two of them. If he had not been a great favor to the two of them, he would not have dared to stay together as one of the secret forces.
The three of them came to a stone. Zuo Erlang squatted on the ground and studied ink, and quickly finished it. Li Muchan leaned down, laid out the paper, and then drew a portrait with a few strokes.
************************************************
Li Muchan put down his pen, turned to the two of them and said, "This is the second young master of the Lin family. Now he is competing with the third young master for the position of head of the family. I want to assassinate him."
The two of them lowered their heads and stared at the painting. Their eyes were bright and cold, as if they were burning into their minds. Then their eyes gradually became empty and lost focus.
Li Muchan didn't push him, knowing that the two of them were imagining the real appearance based on this painting.
After a long while, Li Muchan said: "Do you two brothers remember it?"
The two nodded and slowly looked away. Li Muchan picked up a corner of the paper and shook it gently. A gust of wind blew by and the white paper turned into powder and floated away.
Li Muchan stood up, took out another letter from his arms and handed it over: "Let's set off tonight... This is his daily routine. The best time to start is the moment he steps into the house."
The middle-aged man on the left nodded, indicating that he understood, and the other man said: "Don't worry, Master, he will be left to us!"
Li Muchan took out another snow-white porcelain bottle from his arms and handed it over: "This is the soul-returning pill, one for each of you. If the assassination fails, don't force it. Your lives are much more important than his!"
The middle-aged man on the right took it and nodded slowly: "Thank you, Master!"
Li Muchan waved his hand: "Regardless of whether you succeed or not, retreat as soon as you hit it. Go to the Lin family pawnshop. There is a secret passage below. When you come out, there will be horses and manpower to help you... You go south into the mountain. Someone will lead the way. Don't go back easily.
valley."
"Understood." The two nodded.
Li Muchan said: "Don't be greedy for merit, retreat with one strike, and leave the green mountains without fear of running out of firewood!"
The middle-aged man on the left smiled and said: "Master, you have already said it once. We know that ants still live in vain, so don't worry!"
Li Muchan smiled to himself and said, "I won't be coming over these days. If anything happens, send someone to the city to find me."
"Yes." The two nodded.
Li Muchan thought for a while, had nothing to say, nodded and turned to leave.
After he returned to the Qingyun Sword Sect, Zhu Xiaoyue had returned, and Li Muchan announced that he would be in seclusion and would go to a quiet room to heal his wounds, without seeing anyone.
Zhu Xiaoyue was overjoyed. She wished Li Muchan was like this, and she had always disapproved of Li Muchan's involvement in the fight for the position of head of the family.
Li Muchan went into seclusion. According to the severity of his injury, it would take at least ten days to be cured. Maybe the position of head of the family has been settled and there is no need for you to fight for it anymore.
Two days later, there was news in Qitian City that shocked the whole city. The second and third sons of the Lin family were assassinated. In teahouses and restaurants, people were talking about this news.
People were talking and talking about everything, and they were all speculating on who had done it.
