Chapter 22 New Year's Eve

Chen Shun secretly took Li Pingan to a cellar and opened the secret door.

Behind the secret door is a staircase, go down the stairs.

It was as dark as ink, and as soon as you entered, you felt a cold breath blowing towards your face.

This is the place where Chen Shun's father specially stores his treasures.

Escorts traveled all over the country and saw more or less rare treasures from all over Kyushu.

Chen Shun's father put all these rare treasures in the darkroom.

Chen Shun lit the long lamp and said, "Sir, can you see if you have any useful weapons?"

Li Ping'an walked straight past the rare treasures and came to the weapons rack on the side.

If you look closer, his eyes can still catch something.

Li Ping'an held the second knife on his left hand.

The blade is long and narrow, slightly curved, and the blue light is like electricity.

The sharpness of the blade and the dull thickness of the back form a perfect contrast.

Tender and bright, with graceful and soft curves.

The surface is covered with complex patterns, like an exquisite work of art.

"What's the name of this knife?" Li Ping'an asked.

"I remember this. This sword was brought back from the Western Regions by my father. It's called Tianqing.

I picked it up from a warrior who died in the desert. My father buried him and brought it back after seeing that the knife was good."

"This knife is good."

Li Ping'an praised sincerely.

"As long as you like it, sir, I will give this knife to you as a gift."

Li Ping'an smiled and said, "I'm just borrowing it. If Mr. Chen doesn't mind, Li will return the knife after the matter is resolved."

Chen Shun said quickly: "Sir, you are looking down on me when you say this. I sincerely regard you as a friend. Not to mention a knife, so what if I give you all the gold, silver and jewelry here."

After saying that, Chen Shun asked curiously: "I don't know what the matter is that Mr. Chen said. If it is useful to Chen, feel free to speak."

"Then I'd like to thank Mr. Chen very much."

"By the way, I also have some soft armor and other weapons here. Sir, would you like to see them?"

There is no need for soft armor, Li Ping'an doesn't like wearing that stuff.

"Do you have a crossbow?"

Chen Shun was stunned, "Gong?"

The reaction wasn't that much of a surprise, in his opinion.

Although Li Ping'an's eyes are hard to use, for such a master, he probably doesn't need eyes to shoot arrows.

"How does this bow look?"

Chen Shun struggled to take down a bow from the weapons rack.

"This bow is called the Zhentian Bow. It is extremely powerful. The bow body is made of black iron and weighs more than a hundred kilograms.

It is said that the bow string is the back sinew of a bull demon, which is extremely tough."

Chen Shun tried to pull it, but it only bounced once and then stopped moving.

I couldn't help but smile awkwardly.

Li Ping'an took the bow, which seemed to be tailor-made for his body type.

It is easy to fully draw the bow.

Li Pingan and Chen Shun walked outside and aimed at a tree in the distance.

"Whoosh!!"

The bowstring made a loud sound, and the arrow shot towards a big tree opposite like lightning.

There was a loud "snap" sound, the bark of the tree was shaken off, and the branches and leaves shook.

The flying arrow penetrated from one end of the thick tree trunk to the other.

"Good archery skills!"

So far, Chen Shun has only seen his father pull this bow.

When Li Ping'an returned home, he had a long bow and a long sword named "Tianqing".

After dinner, Li Ping'an sat on the roof and wiped his long knife.

Liu Yun walked around gently from behind, "Why do you suddenly want to buy a knife?"

"nothing."

"By the way, why do you have a bad appetite after eating so much today?" Li Ping'an asked.

Liu Yun had just finished washing the dishes and half of her sleeves were rolled up.

He leaned back, supported himself with his arms, and said casually.

"It's nothing, I just don't have much appetite today."

The two stopped talking and looked at the stars in the sky in silence.

"I may not be able to spend the New Year with you. I received the news that I will leave tomorrow."

Liu Yun suddenly said softly.

"Well, I'll take you out of the city tomorrow."

Li Pingan said calmly.

Liu Yun shook her head, "No need, someone will pick me up outside the city tomorrow."

"The city is very dangerous. Can your friends enter the city?"

Liu Yun bit her lip with a complicated expression.

Li Pingan saw her difficulty and said without waiting for her answer.

"I'll take you out of the city."

Liu Yun clenched her fingers and lowered her head.

After a while, he said: "It's very dangerous, you... better stay here."

"It doesn't matter."

Liu Yun: "...I'm sorry, it was me who caused you trouble."

Li Ping'an was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

"It doesn't matter. It's a pity that we can't celebrate this new year."

It has been more than 20 years since Li Ping'an came to this world, and he has never spent a New Year's Eve with anyone else.

...........

Safeguard Agency.

"Dad, where are you going if you beat your mother?"

Chen Shun found that his father was behaving very strangely in the past two days, and many familiar figures in the escort agency were missing.

"It's none of your business, go back to sleep."

Chen Zhongshi looked serious.

"Dad, are there escorts again?" Chen Shun asked curiously.

Chen Zhongshi looked at his only son, and suddenly felt a little lonely in his heart.

"Someone told me that life is a gamble.

Either stay in obscurity, or spend a lot of money on a big gamble.

Son, your father has been gambling all his life.

We can win this time too!”

Chen Shun swallowed and suddenly felt that the father in front of him was so strange.

"Father...what exactly are you going to do?"

Chen Zhongshi smiled and said, "Do something big that will change the world."

At the same time, almost all underground gangs and underworld members in Luoshui City.

They were all saying goodbye to their families, and some even made wills.

No one knows whether they will be able to come back alive after this battle.

........

As the saying goes: Hold a knife to coax a widow, go into the sea and rob a ship.

The dark moon kills people on a night, and the wind blows high and sets people on fire.

There is no sleep in Luoshui City tonight.

Alley entrance.

Li Ping'an closed the door with his own hands, as if saying goodbye to this home where he had lived for a long time.

"Let's go."

Heavy snow was flying all over the sky, bringing with it a biting chill.

Li Pingan took out the prepared gown and handed it to Liu Yun.

Liu Yun rubbed her reddish face and exhaled a breath of cold air, "Hiss~"

Snowflakes fell on my face, stinging a little.

After a while, the snow melted on the face and flowed into the neck drop by drop.

Liu Yun shivered.

"Is it cold?"

"Well, it's so cold." Liu Yun nodded obediently.

Li Pingan held her hand.

A burst of hot energy poured into her body from his palm, dispelling the coldness in her body.

Liu Yun shrank down, feeling the warmth in her palms, and her face seemed to turn redder.

Li Ping'an turned and swung over, and a muffled groan came from the darkness.

Liu Yun held an umbrella and moved it towards Li Ping'an's head.

"The snow is really heavy tonight."

"Yeah." Liu Yun let out a breath and said with some disappointment, "I was supposed to be making dumplings at home tonight, but I've made up my noodles."
