Li Tianmu returned to the courtyard. His apprentices were practicing swordsmanship in the courtyard. Li Tianmu said: "You guys come in with me, I have something to say."
When everyone came to the hall, Li Tianmu sat down and said, "My master is leaving and going to a far away place. If you want to follow, you can go together."
Chen Maohong said: "Master, where is the place far away?"
Li Tianmu said: "I can't let you know for the time being."
Yu Bozhong was no longer worried and said: "Master, no matter where you go, Xiao Qi and I will follow you."
Li Tianmu said: "Maohong, what about you?"
Chen Maohong said: "Of course I am willing to follow Master, I just have to tell my uncle."
Li Tianmu said: "It's time to talk to Second Master Uncle. I'll tell him when he comes back."
Chen Zhenshi worked at Dr. Wang's house to develop the Queen's life-saving medicine, and went out early and came back late every day.
Li Tianmu continued: "Get ready, we will leave early tomorrow morning."
Li Jiaoyue wanted to know why Li Tianmu left and what happened to him? Thinking that Mou Rongtian might know, he came to Beizhen Fusi overnight.
The guard guarding the door went to the dormitory to report, and saw Mou Rongtian practicing swordsmanship in the courtyard, and said: "Master Mou, there is a girl named Li Jiaoyue who wants to see you."
Mou Rongtian thought to himself: "It's so late, why is she here? Maybe something happened." He said: "Let her come over."
It was not long before Li Jiaoyue came to the courtyard. Mou Rongtian asked: "Jiaoyue, is something wrong?"
Li Jiaoyue said: "Nothing happened."
Mou Rongtian asked: "Then why did you come here so late?"
Li Jiaoyue said: "Master Li is leaving, did you know?"
Mou Rongtian was startled and said: "Tianmu is leaving? Where to go? Back to Wudang Mountain?"
Li Jiaoyue said: "He didn't say where he was going, so I can't ask more."
Mou Rongtian asked: "Why did he leave?"
Li Jiaoyue said: "He refused to tell me the reason, and I didn't know either. I thought you would know, but it turns out you didn't know either."
Mou Rongtian said: "Should he go alone or take Miss Dong with him?"
Li Jiaoyue said: "Of course I want to take Miss Dong with me."
Mou Rongtian pondered for a moment and said, "I know what he wants to do, but no, I can't let him do it."
Li Jiaoyue said: "What exactly does he want to do?"
Mou Rongtian said: "He must want to assassinate Zheng Lujia."
Li Jiaoyue said: "What does Zheng Lujia do? Why did Master Li want to kill him?"
Mou Rongtian said: "He was the chief minister of the dynasty. When he was the magistrate of Suning, he wasted no time and killed Tianmu's father."
Li Jiaoyue said: "That's it."
Mou Rongtian came to Feihu Escort Bureau and went to look for Li Tianmu across the courtyard. Seeing the lights on in the room, he pushed the door and walked in. He didn't see Chen Zhenshi and said, "Senior Chen hasn't come back yet?"
Li Tianmu said: "No, you have something to do with him?"
Mou Rongtian sat by the kang and said, "I have something to ask you."
Li Tianmu asked: "What's the matter?"
Mou Rongtian said: "I heard from Jiao Yue that you are leaving. Why are you leaving? Do you want to assassinate Zheng Lujia and then fly away?"
Li Tianmu smiled slightly and said, "You really understand me. Yes, I have exactly what I mean."
Mou Rongtian said: "The Third Eye is absolutely impossible to use. If you kill Zheng Lujia, the Holy One will never let you go. You will have no choice but to flee the world from now on, and your life will be ruined."
Li Tianmu said: "Rongtian, stop talking. How can I not avenge my father's murder? I'm tired and need to rest. You can go back."
Mou Rongtian sighed and said, "Then take care of yourself." He stood up and left.
When it was time for Zipai, Li Tianmu had already laid down, and Chen Zhenshi came back.
Li Tianmu said: "Second Master Uncle, are you back?"
Chen Zhenshi took off her clothes and got on the kang and said, "Why haven't you slept yet?"
Li Tianmu said: "I'm waiting for you to come back. I have something to tell you."
Chen Zhenshi lay flat on the kang, looked sideways at Li Tianmu, and asked, "What's going on?"
When Li Tianmu revealed that he was going to assassinate Zheng Lujia and fly away, Chen Zhenshi said, "Do we have to do this?"
Li Tianmu said: "This must be done, I must seek justice."
Chen Zhenshi pondered for a moment and said: "Then you have to be more careful. Maohong is with you, and I can rest assured. After the Queen's matter is settled, I will go to Hong Kong Island to find you."
The next day, Li Tianmu, Dong Qing and their apprentices returned to his hometown in Suning. After arriving home, Li Tianmu took Dong Qing to pay homage to his late father. In front of his father's grave, he said: "Dad, the emperor is a foolish king who does not give anything to the people.
I'm calling the shots. I want to kill the old thief Zheng Lujia to avenge you and eliminate harm for the people."
Li Tianmu left Dong Qing and his disciples in Suning and returned to the capital alone.
At the time of Hai Pai that night, I came to the outside of Uncle Zheng Guo's house, climbed over the wall, and found a servant to act as a "tongue" to find out where Zheng Lujia's bedroom was.
Knocked the "tongue" unconscious, jumped over the ridge of the house, and came to the courtyard where Zheng Lujia's bedroom was located. He lay down on the slope of the back room of the east wing and peered into the courtyard.
I saw more than ten Dongchang guards standing in the yard. The door of the main room was closed, the lights were on, and the sound of women playing and singing could be heard.
Li Tianmu thought to himself: "The old thief Zheng Lujia should be in the room." He pulled out the Vine Dragon Sword and floated into the courtyard. He knew that even if his face was covered, Dongchang would find out that it was him, so he did not cover his face.
I'm not wearing night clothes either.
When the guards saw the assassin coming, they showed off their weapons one after another and guarded the door. Among them was a man named Jiang, one of the twelve commanders of the East Factory, and the leader of the more than ten guards.
He didn't know Li Tianmu, so he asked: "Hey, you're such a daring assassin, you dare to come to my uncle's house to run wild. Who are you? Tell me your name?"
Li Tianmu said: "A certain Wudang family, Li Tianmu, is going to settle an old debt with the old thief Zheng Lujia today. If you don't want to die, get out of here. If not, today next year will be your memorial day."
When Jiang Zhangban heard that the other party was Li Tianmu, he was so frightened that his liver trembled and his heart pounded, but he did not dare to retreat from the battle, because the family rules in Dongchang were strict, and those who were afraid of swords and avoided swords, and those who were greedy for life and afraid of death would be punished with death.
Leader Jiang thought to himself: "In any case, we are going to die. Instead of being purged by the factory boss, ruining our reputation, and bringing shame to our family, it would be better to fight to the death with Li Tianmu and become a martyr after death and honor our ancestors."
Thinking of this, he made up his mind, bravely gave the order, and all the guards rushed forward to launch a group attack on Li Tianmu.
Li Tianmu shouted: "Since you are seeking death, a certain family will help you." He waved the Vine Dragon Sword and started a fierce battle with the guards.
In addition to Commander Jiang, the guards also have two foremen, four roommates, and the rest are captains. These people are not weak in martial arts and have some tricks, but they are not easy to use in front of Li Tianmu.
Where Li Tianmu's long sword fell, a head was cut off. The long sword fell again, and another head was cut off. Li Tianmu was like chopping melons and vegetables. In just a moment, he killed several guards. The remaining guards were...
The timid ones were so frightened that they couldn't care less about Dongchang's family rules. It was more important to save their lives at the moment, so they all fled away with their heads in their arms.
Seeing that there were deserters, Jiang Zhangban shouted: "Don't run away, come back to me!" Those guards were not willing to come back, they all ran faster than rabbits.
As soon as he finished speaking, the Vine Dragon Sword arrived. Jiang Zhangban screamed and was stabbed to the core. Li Tianmu swung his sword several more times, knocking down the remaining guards, and then came to the door.
He kicked open the door and broke in.
There were several candles burning in the room, as bright as day. Several singers huddled against the wall, trembling with fear, shouting "Hero, spare your life!"
Li Tianmu didn't see Zheng Lujia and shouted: "Where is the old thief Zheng Lujia?"
One of the singers pointed towards the inner room and did not dare to speak.
Li Tianmu saw that the door to the inner room was closed, so he went up and kicked the door open. The inner room was also lit with candles and there was no one in the room. He only saw the table fallen to the ground and a cover next to it.
Li Tianmu opened the cover, revealing a stone step. He pulled out a candle from the candlestick hanging on the wall, illuminated it with candlelight, walked down the stone step, and shouted: "Old thief, come out and die!"
"
After walking up the stone steps, there was a long corridor. At the end of the corridor, Zheng Lujia was still missing. In front of him was a neat wall. Li Tianmu slashed at the wall with his sword. Sparks flew everywhere and he realized that it was not an earthen wall or a stone wall.
wall, but an iron wall.
Li Tianmu knocked on the wall with the hilt of the Vine Dragon Sword. The sound was hollow, and he found that there was still space behind the wall. He expected that Zheng Lujia must be hiding inside. He put away the Vine Dragon Sword and slapped the wall with his palm, trying to break the iron wall.
Knocked down, the wall didn't move at all.
Li Tianmu became anxious and clapped several more times, this time with all his strength. There was a loud "crack" sound, and the dirt fell from his head, but the iron wall still did not move at all.
Li Tianmu had no choice but to withdraw from the tunnel and go to the house, but did not leave. He hid on the slope of the back room, hoping to wait for Zheng Lujia to come out of the tunnel and then kill him.
About half an hour later, Yan Shoufeng arrived after hearing the news, bringing Tian Ergen, the Four Musketeers of Hengshan, and dozens of Dongchang guards.
Yan Shoufeng said to Tian Ergen: "Go to the room and see if Li Tianmu has left."
After hearing this, Li Tianmu hurriedly jumped away.
Tian Ergeng and the Four Swordsmen from Hengshan flew up to the house and searched the entire house, but could not find Li Tianmu.
Yan Shoufeng came to the back room, walked down the stone steps to the tunnel, walked to the iron wall, and shouted loudly: "Uncle Guo, I'm here, come out quickly!"
After shouting several times in a row, the iron wall slowly rose. The iron wall was three feet thick and weighed at least a thousand kilograms. Not to mention one Li Tianmu, even four or five more, could do it with the strength of his palms.
Can't push it down.
After all the iron walls were raised, a short, fat man with fat head and big ears appeared in front of Yan Shoufeng. This person was Zheng Lujia. He said in horror: "Mr. Yan Chang, you are finally here. You scared me just now. Fortunately,
This iron wall blocks Li Tianmu, otherwise I won't be able to see you."
This tunnel leads to a secret room. The cover of the tunnel entrance is usually pressed under the table. When Li Tianmu was fighting with the guards just now, Zheng Lujia poked a hole in the window paper and peeked into the courtyard. He saw the guards one by one.
His head fell to the ground, and he was no match for Li Tianmu, so he hurriedly fled into the secret room to escape.
