Autumn.The maple leaves in Xishan are red, and the jade dew in Tianjie is white.Autumn has gradually deepened. September 13th, early morning.Li Yanbei walked out of the twelfth mansion among his thirty mansions, and strode forward along the streets filled with morning fog. There is no trace of tiredness. He was eight feet one inch tall, big, strong, and full of energy.Thick eyebrows, sharp eyes, eagle nose, serious face, always with a kind of expression close to cruelty, it looks like a leopard that has just sprung out from the primeval forest. No matter who sees him, they can't help showing some respect and fear, and he himself never underestimates himself.

Ten years ago, he was already one of the most powerful people in this ancient city. About a foot behind him, there was a group of people following him, who almost had to run at a running speed to keep up with him.Among this group of people were the chief bodyguards of the three major bodyguard bureaus in the capital city, the chiefs and regiment heads of the "upper poles" in the east and west cities, the big bosses who had done very successful business, and the managers of the bank. Although there are a few people who have settled in the capital for more than ten years, no one has ever been able to figure out their origins and identities.

They are all rich and successful middle-aged people, and no one wants to walk out of their warm and comfortable homes in such a early morning, braving the cold wind and running on the street, but every morning, they have to go this way . Because Li Yanbei likes to walk along his fixed route for half an hour at the dawn of dawn.The place was almost his kingdom.At this time, his mind is always very clear, and his judgment is always very correct. He likes his trusted subordinates to follow him, waiting for him to give orders.And this has been his habit for many years, just like the king's early court, whether you like it or not, you must never violate it.

Ever since "Golden Sword" Feng Kun, the head of the "Zhenyuan Escort Bureau", was dragged out of bed by him on a cold morning and thrown into the frozen river outside Yongding Gate, no one dared to be late again. Absent once. The sun has not yet risen, and the wind is still carrying the chill of the night. The dead leaves of the autumn trees by the street have already withered, and the dew on the fallen leaves has formed a thin layer of autumn frost. Li Yanbei clenched his fists tightly and strode hurriedly. He had already walked from the small road in the city gate to the center of the urban area outside the front gate, and suddenly called out: "Sun Chong!"

Among the group of people following behind, a well-dressed middle-aged man with a white face and slight beard rushed to catch up. He was one of Li Yanbei's generals, who was famous all over the Central Plains for making all kinds of weapons and hidden weapons. Happy hall" hall master. Li Yanbei didn't slow down to wait for him, didn't even look at him, but said with a sullen face: "Did I already take care of you, never take any more big business before the fifteenth?" Sun Chong said: "Yes." Li Yanbei said: "Then last night, why did you sell all the sixty-six ghost knives, fifty swords and all the bows and arrows in the warehouse?"

Sun Chong lowered his head, his expression changed.He didn't expect that Li Yanbei would know about it so quickly, he lowered his head, and said in a low voice, "The profit of that business is huge, it's almost worth the capital and the profit, and..." Li Yanbei sneered, "And business is business, isn't it?" Sun Chong didn't dare to answer any more, and lowered his head even lower. An angry look appeared on Li Yanbei's face, and he clenched his fists even tighter. He suddenly asked, "Do you know who the buyer is?" Sun Chong hesitated, shaking his head, but his eyes were secretly rolling around.At this time, they had just walked onto the narrow Cherry Slope Street, and of course the shops on both sides hadn't opened yet.But at this moment, in the narrow alleys on the left and right, two carts with black awnings suddenly rushed out, blocking them in the middle of the road.

Then, the black canopy that covered the carts suddenly lifted—a dozen black-clothed men were hidden in each cart, and each of them held a Zhang Qiang bow in their hands. The strings of each bow were fully drawn, and the arrows were ready .Just as Sun Chong wanted to rush to the car, Li Yanbei's iron palms grabbed his hands and feet. His complexion immediately changed drastically, he opened his mouth, and wanted to shout: "I can't..." Before he could say this, the bowstring rang, and arrows shot out like locusts. Li Yanbei sat on the horse with his waist down, and with a backhand swing, he lifted up his men and met the arrows like locusts.In the blink of an eye, Sun Chong's men were shot into cunning.Li Yanbei snarled, and wanted to rush into the caravan, but after the group of archers in front shot random arrows, they immediately fell down, and there was actually another group of archers behind.

The bowstrings of the twenty-eight strong bows have been fully drawn, and the arrows are also on the strings.Li Yanbei's body stiffened immediately. The group of people following him were all separated by the third cart. Even if he was made of brass and steel, he would definitely not be able to stop this round of locust-like arrows! After twenty years of struggle and hundreds of hard battles, in the end it was inevitable to fall into the trap of the enemy. Li Yanbei's eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like a beast that had fallen into a hunter's trap.As long as the bowstring is fired again, this tyrant in the capital will inevitably be pierced by random arrows.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a very sharp wind suddenly sounded from the eaves on the left.A blue light flashed across the bowstring. Just listening to "Boom, boom, boom..." A series of crisp sounds like beads falling on a jade plate, the bowstrings of twenty-eight strong bows were cut by two blue lights at the same time!Then, there was another sound of "Duo", and the blue light nailed to the door panel on the right turned out to be nothing more than two copper coins. Who has such astonishing finger strength, who can cut twenty-eight bowstrings one after another with copper coins?The faces of the archers also changed drastically, and suddenly they all jumped out of the caravan and rushed into the narrow alley.

Li Yanbei did not chase after him.These people are not his opponents, and they are not worthy of him.And he had known years ago that killing did not make him truly respectful and obedient. He just said in a deep voice: "You might as well go slowly and go back and tell your master that since Li Yanbei is not dead today, one day he will go to find him!" Suddenly, there was a burst of applause from the eaves on the left. One person said with a smile: "Good! Good demeanor, good style! You really deserve to be Li Yanbei who is full of benevolence and righteousness in Beijing."

Li Yanbei also laughed: "It's a pity that Li Yanbei, who is full of benevolence and righteousness, is not as good as Lu Xiaofeng's two fingers, even though he has three heads and six arms!" A person laughed and jumped down from the house, his chiseled face was full of dust, but his eyes were still bright, and his eyebrows were still dark.Four eyebrows.Apart from him, there was never anyone in the world with a beard as tall and straight as his eyebrows. "You know it's me?" "The money dart needs finger strength." Li Yanbei smiled: "Who else in the world can cut twenty-eight bowstrings with two copper coins, except Lu Xiaofeng?" The sun has risen, and the hot steam from the bean juice pot looks like fog in the sun. Lu Xiaofeng used the fire to burn the pig's head meat, and drank three bowls of pickled vegetable bean juice. Then he let out a long breath, wiped his sweat and said with a smile: "I haven't been to the capital for three years, do you know what I miss the most?" Li Yanbei smiled and said, "Soy milk?" Lu Xiaofeng laughed and nodded: "The first thing I miss is bean juice, and the second is fried liver, especially the fire fried liver in Huixianju, as well as the pan bag fire in Runming Building and the pies in Pie Week." Li Yanbei said: "What about me?" Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said, "I will only think of you when I am not hungry." Li Yanbei said: "But I'm afraid you never thought that I would almost die at the hands of others one day?" Lu Xiaofeng admitted: "I never thought you would let them go!" Li Yanbei said: "You think I like killing people?" Lu Xiaofeng laughed again: "If you like to kill people, I'm afraid I won't be able to live today." Li Yanbei said: "But you..." Lu Xiaofeng said: "But you should at least ask, who sent them here!" Li Yanbei also smiled: "I don't need to ask." Lu Xiaofeng said: "You already know?" Li Yanbei's smile didn't look very happy, and he said lightly, "Except Chengnan Old Du, who has such courage?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Du Tongxuan?" Li Yanbei nodded, the fried screw roll he just picked up in his hand had been crushed to pieces. Lu Xiaofeng said: "In the past ten years, you and him have been inseparable. He should have known that you are not someone who is easy to plot against. Why do you want to take such a risk?" Li Yanbei said: "For the 600,000 taels of silver and his land in the south of the city." Lu Xiaofeng didn't understand. Li Yanbei said: "I have made a bet with him, and I will bet 600,000 taels of silver and his entire territory." This bet is really not small. Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help taking a long breath: "What are you betting on?" Li Yanbei said: "The bet is on the September 15th battle!" On the night of the full moon, on the top of the purple gold, a sword comes to the west, and a fairy flies away from the sky! Li Yanbei said: "The date of that battle was originally August 15th, and the location was originally on Zijin Mountain in Moling, but Ximen Chuuxue insisted on postponing the date by one month, and the location was changed here." Lu Xiaofeng said: "I know." Li Yanbei said: "Since that day on August 15th, no one in Jianghu has seen Ximen Chuuxue's whereabouts again!" Lu Xiaofeng sighed, of course he knew about it.He was also looking for Ximen Chuuxue, and it was very difficult. Li Yanbei said: "So everyone thinks that Ximen Chuuxue must be afraid of Ye Gucheng, and must have gone into hiding and dare not show his face." Lu Xiaofeng said: "But you know that he is definitely not such a person!" Li Yanbei nodded and said: "So although others already think that he will definitely lose, I still want to bet on him to win! I will bet no matter how much." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Of course Du Tongxuan will not miss this opportunity." Li Yanbei said: "So he bet with me." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Using his territory to bet on your territory?" Li Yanbei said: "If he loses, another six hundred thousand taels of silver will be added." Lu Xiaofeng said: "I know, a month ago, there was someone who was willing to bet Ye Gucheng with three games and two games!" Li Yanbei said: "The handicap of the previous two days has reached two to one. Everyone is optimistic about Ye Gucheng. Until yesterday morning, Du Tongxuan still thought he was sure." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Until yesterday morning?" Li Yanbei said: "Because yesterday afternoon, the situation has suddenly changed!" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Oh?" Li Yanbei stared at him and said, "Have you really not heard the news that Ye Gucheng has been injured?" Lu Xiaofeng shook his head, looking very surprised: "How could he be injured? Who can hurt him?" Li Yanbei said: "Tang Tianyi." Lu Xiaofeng frowned and said, "The eldest son of the Tang family in Sichuan?" Li Yanbei said: "Not bad!" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Ye Gucheng has lived overseas for a long time, how could he have any trouble with the Tang family in Sichuan?" Li Yanbei said: "It is said that they met near Zhangjiakou, and for some reason, there was a conflict. Although Ye Gucheng seriously injured Tang Tianyi with a 'Flying Immortal Outside the Sky', he himself was also hit by Tang Tianyi's arsenopyrite .” Except for the children of the Tang family, no one in the world can decipher the hidden poison weapon of the Tang clan in the middle of Sichuan.No matter who was hit by their poison weapon, even if they didn't die at the time, they wouldn't live for long. Li Yanbei said: "When the news spread to the capital, those who bought Ye Gucheng's victory all became ants on the hot pot. Some were so anxious that they wanted to hang themselves, and some tried every means to beg the other party The bet is void." Lu Xiaofeng said: "If the other party dies, this bet will be void!" Li Yanbei sneered: "That's why Du Tongxuan is determined to put me to death!" Lu Xiaofeng sighed, he finally understood the ins and outs of this matter completely. Li Yanbei said: "It is said that just last night, at least 30 people in the capital died because of this, and even the guard yard 'Iron Palm Overturning' in the Xicheng Prince's Mansion was conspired in the alley behind the Iron Lion Alley Because he has bet eight thousand taels of silver to buy Ximen Chuixue." Lu Xiaofeng sighed: "Unexpectedly, eight thousand taels of silver bought Zhao Tieshang's life!" Li Yanbei said: "Sometimes eighty taels of silver is enough to buy a person's life!" Lu Xiaofeng looked at the pig's head meat and the fire in front of him, and suddenly felt that his appetite had become very bad. "Has anyone witnessed the battle between Ye Gucheng and Tang Tianyi?" He suddenly asked again. Li Yanbei said: "No." Lu Xiaofeng asked again: "Since no one saw it with their own eyes, how do they know the news is true?" Li Yanbei said: "Because everyone believes that the person who told the news would never lie!" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Who sent this news?" Li Yanbei said: "Honest monk." Lu Xiaofeng was speechless.To the honest monk's credit, no one has anything to say. Li Yanbei said: "The honest monk arrived in the capital after noon yesterday. As soon as he arrived, he went to the 'Ear Eye' to eat flower and vegetarian dumplings. Eat a dumpling and sigh!" The oil on the pork head has condensed in the cold September wind in the northern country, and it looks like a thin layer of hoarfrost. Li Yanbei said: "The Four Swords of Tianmen happened to be eating dumplings there at that time, so I asked him why he sighed, and he told the news." Of course, the people who heard this matter were not limited to the Four Swords of Tianmen. Li Yanbei said: "Except for the honest monk and the Four Swords of Tianmen, in the past half month, there have been as many as four to five hundred martial arts heroes who have rushed to the capital." Lu Xiaofeng looked at the fat on the pig's head, and suddenly felt like vomiting. Li Yanbei said: "As far as I know, before September 15th, at least three or four hundred martial arts celebrities will come here, including at least five sect masters, ten gang leaders, and twenty or thirty chief escorts. , even the elder Mu Taoist from Wudang and the guardian masters from Shaolin will come, as long as they can get away, no one wants to miss this battle." Lu Xiaofeng slapped the table hard suddenly, and said with a sneer, "What exactly do they regard Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng as? Two monkeys doing tricks? Two wild dogs snatching meat and bones on the road?" The pig's head meat and Huoshao were so shaken that they jumped up from the table, then fell down and rolled on the side of the road. Li Yanbei looked at Lu Xiaofeng in surprise.He had never seen Lu Xiaofeng so excited, and he couldn't figure out why Lu Xiaofeng was so angry. He couldn't help asking: "Didn't you come here to watch this battle?" Lu Xiaofeng clenched his fists tightly and said, "I just hope that I will never see them fight again!" Li Yanbei said: "But now that Ye Gucheng is injured, Ximen Chuuxue will never fail!" Lu Xiaofeng said: "It doesn't matter who wins or loses!" Li Yanbei said: "Isn't Ximen Chuuxue your friend?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Just because he is my friend, that's why I don't want to watch him act like a dog, desperately fighting for an invisible bone!" Li Yanbei still didn't understand: "What are invisible bones?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "No name." ——The false name in the eyes of others is the invisible bone. Lu Xiaofeng sneered and said: "If he wins this battle, you can take Du Tongxuan's territory as your own. Those self-proclaimed swordsmen can also see a wonderful show, and you can see that their swordsmanship What's the trick, what's the flaw. But what about him?" Has he not already conquered himself?But even if he wins, what good is there?And who can understand the loneliness and loneliness of the winner? Li Yanbei finally understood what Lu Xiaofeng meant.He stared at Lu Xiaofeng quietly, and after a long time, he said slowly: "This battle is what they want to fight, and no one else is forcing them!" of course not.No one in the world can force them to do anything. Li Yanbei said: "I'm also Ximen Chuuxue's friend, I don't want him to fight with others, let alone use him to grab Lao Du's territory, but if he wants to fight with others, I can't stop him!" He stared at Lu Xiaofeng continued word by word: "Even you can't stop it." Lu Xiaofeng didn't want to admit it, nor could he deny it. Li Yanbei said: "The most important thing is that even they themselves cannot be stopped!" There are many things like this in the world.As long as a person lives in this world, there are many things he must do, no matter whether he is really willing to do it or not. Lu Xiaofeng suddenly sighed softly and said, "I'm tired, I want to take a hot bath!" The bathing pool was made of bluestone, the water was very hot, Lu Xiaofeng soaked himself in the hot water, and relaxed his limbs as much as possible, he really felt very tired, a kind of tiredness and boredom from the bottom of his heart. Every time he finished a major event or solved a huge case, he would always feel this way, but it had never been as deep as this time. The Embroidered Thief, Jin Jiuling, Lu Shaohua, Aunt Gongsun, Jiang Chongwei, Ouyang Qing, Xue Bing... He didn't even want to think about these people. Especially Xue Bing. As long as he thinks of Xue Bing, his heart is like being stabbed by needles—embroidery needles, vicious and sharp embroidery needles. In order to escape this pain, he didn't even want to see Mrs. Gongsun again.So as soon as he arrived in Jinling, he sneaked away. It's a pity that there are still some things in this world that he can't and can't escape.Ximen Chuuxue, Ye Gucheng, Du Tongxuan, Honest Monk... He didn't want to think about it anymore, and suddenly said: "Ximen Chuuxue must have arrived in the capital too!" "Are you sure?" Li Yanbei was lying on the edge of the bathing pool, and a big, shirtless man was rubbing his back vigorously.This place was his domain, and he was as safe here as a king in his own castle. Lu Xiaofeng said: "Ximen Chuuxue has always had strange ideas!" "what idea?" "He always thinks that killing and being killed is a very sacred thing!" "Oh?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "So no matter who he is dueling with, he will definitely go there a few days ago, fast for three days first, and then burn incense and bathe." Li Yanbei suddenly smiled and said, "You think it's strange for him to do this?" "You don't think it's strange?" "Ok." "why?" Li Yanbei said: "Because if I were him, I would do the same!" He raised his hand to signal that the big man wiped harder. More than ten years of enjoying life with wine and beauties has not left any ugly marks on his body.His abdomen was still flat, and his muscles were still full of elasticity. The hot bath and strong massage once a day really helped him a lot. "Both fasting and bathing can strengthen one's spirits. Go to the duel place in advance, familiarize yourself with the local conditions, and take advantage of the decisive battle. Therefore, I have always believed that Ximen Chuuxue is by no means a person who is easily defeated. If there is no seven If he is sure of more than one point, he will not make a move at all.” Lu Xiaofeng said: "So you also think that he must have arrived in the capital?" Li Yanbei said: "Yes." Lu Xiaofeng said: "It's just that you haven't found his whereabouts until today?" Li Yanbei said: "Not yet!" Lu Xiaofeng frowned and said, "It's really strange that two people who attract attention like them have arrived in the capital, and even you haven't heard a word of it." Li Yanbei also frowned: "Two people? Who is the other?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Sun Xiuqing." Li Yanbei said: "Is it a woman?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "She is a very beautiful woman!" Li Yanbei said: "Before the decisive battle, will he bring a woman by his side?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "He would never bring other women, but this woman is different." Li Yanbei's thick eyebrows frowned even deeper, and it took a long time before he let out a long sigh and said, "Fortunately, Ye Gucheng has been injured, otherwise..." He turned over, his voice suddenly stopped, outside the hot bathroom door, suddenly A ghostly figure appeared. Li Yanbei sternly asked, "Who?" The man didn't answer his words, but smiled sullenly and said, "You shouldn't come here to take a bath today!" Li Yanbei shouted again and asked, "Why?" "Because if Du Tongxuan can buy Sun Chong, he can also buy the person who wipes your back!" The shirtless man's expression changed, and he wanted to rush out, but Li Yanbei had already pinched his arm.He was originally a strong and powerful person, but under Li Yanbei's hands, he had no room to struggle and resist.When he wanted to struggle, he heard the sound of his elbow breaking. "There is poison on the towel. If you want the antidote, go to the Chunhua Tower outside the front door and wait." This figure moved as fast as a ghost, and with a flick of his sleeve, he was gone. Li Yanbei shouted: "Who is a friend? Why is Li not allowed to repay the grace of saving me!" He only heard this man's voice from afar, saying: "When you arrive at Chunhua Building, you will know who I am, then It's never too late for you to repay me!" When he said the last sentence, his voice was more than ten feet away. Li Yanbei snatched the cloth towel for wiping his back from the big man's hand, the big man was screaming, Li Yanbei had already stuffed the towel into his mouth.His cry suddenly stopped, his body suddenly twitched, and his whole body immediately contracted, and suddenly fell to the ground, motionless.This white cloth towel was actually poisonous. When the big man wiped his back vigorously just now, the poison on the towel had penetrated into his pores and into his skin.Li Yanbei's muscles all over his body suddenly became uncontrollable and kept beating. Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help being moved: "What a powerful Du Tongxuan, what a vicious method!" "Who was that person just now?" Li Yanbei clenched his fists and controlled himself: "How did he know about Du Tongxuan's plot? Why did he come to save me?" There is only one way to know the answer, go to Chunhua Go upstairs! Chunhua Building is also in Li Yanbei's territory.They went there by car. Although Li Yanbei liked to walk, for fear of the onset of poison, he did not dare to use any more strength. Those who saw him still respected him as usual, and bowed to greet him from a distance. No one could see that this strong man like a tiger or leopard, his life was at stake.Of course, Li Yanbei was not as polite to these people as usual - no matter who had a bag of gunpowder lying in his body that could ignite at any time, he would not be in a good mood. Chunhua Building is a big place and the business is very good. When they came, there were already no empty seats.But no matter where Li Yanbei went, someone would stand up and give up his seat. They chose a table in the middle, facing the stairs, and they could see people at a glance as long as they went upstairs. — No one goes upstairs, only people go downstairs. Seeing Li Yanbei's murderous look, everyone who is interested is ready to leave, some people are quietly paying the bill, and some people are whispering... Suddenly, all voices stopped together.All eyes were fixed on one person, a person who had just come upstairs. This man was tall and thin, dressed very well, and had an extremely gentle manner. Although he was not very old, his temples were already graying. On his thin and thin face, he seemed to have a three-point sickness, but also seven-point majesty. No one dared to underestimate him in the slightest. He was wearing a sapphire blue robe, the material and color of which were extremely elegant. On a pair of very delicate and well-maintained hands, he wore a priceless Hanyu ring. The flawless white jade disc looks like a newcomer in the imperial court and a bachelor in Hanyuan. In fact, a lot of people called him a maester, a name he liked himself, but of course he wasn't really a maester. He came upstairs with a smile on his face, but no one seemed to be able to stop laughing when they saw him.Especially Li Yanbei's face turned blue. No one thought that Du Tongxuan would appear in Li Yanbei's territory, just like no one thought that a jackal would walk into a tiger's den.In the past ten years, Du Tongxuan's footsteps have indeed never left the south of the city. Du Xuetu has always been an extremely cautious and cautious person, why did he suddenly change his gender today? What was even more unexpected was that he actually walked straight in front of Li Yanbei, smiled and clasped his fists, and said, "General Li, are you here all right?" He likes being called Xueshi Du, but Li Yanbei hates being called General Li the most. Lu Xiaofeng smiled.He felt that no matter whether it was a bachelor or a general, the two names sounded a little funny. Du Tongxuan was also looking at him, and said with a smile: "Could it be that your Excellency is Lu Xiaofeng, Lu Daxia who has a 'tactful understanding'?" Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said: "You are not a bachelor, he is not a general, and I am not a hero, it is best for all of us not to be polite." Du Tongxuan's face didn't change, his attitude was still polite.Looking at his appearance, even Lu Xiaofeng couldn't tell that he was that old Chengnan old Du who killed people without blinking an eye. Li Yanbei stared at him like a blade, and suddenly said: "If I were you, I would never come here!" Du Tongxuan said: "I'm not you, so I'm here..." Li Yanbei said: "You shouldn't have come!" Du Tongxuan said: "I'm here." Li Yanbei sneered: "If you want to come, you can come, if you want to go, I'm afraid it will be very difficult!" Du Tongxuan actually laughed again: "General Li wants to repay someone's life-saving grace, is this the method he uses?" Li Yanbei was stunned. Du Tongxuan stretched out his hands wearing the Hanyu ring, opened the chair and sat down, said with a smile, "I thought you should at least buy me a glass of wine." Li Yanbei finally couldn't help asking: "The person who saved me just now was really you?" Du Tongxuan nodded. Li Yanbei stared at him and said, "You were the one who wanted to kill me twice in one day today?" Du Tongxuan said lightly: "Sometimes I am a person who easily changes my mind!" Li Yanbei said: "What made you change your mind?" Du Tongxuan did not answer this sentence, but suddenly raised his voice and said: "The antidote." As soon as these two words were spoken, there was suddenly someone behind him.A thin and short man in black, with no expression on his pale face, but with a pair of deeply sunken black eyes, if it weren't for these eyes, he would look like a dead man. There were so many people in the restaurant, but no one could see clearly how he got here.A face like a dead man, a body like a ghost - Li Yanbei immediately realized that he was the person who was passing around outside the bathroom just now.He has stretched out his claw-like hands, and placed a pale blue vial on the table. Du Tongxuan said: "This is the antidote, you'd better take it before the poison takes hold!" Li Yanbei clenched his fists.It is really embarrassing for him to accept the antidote given to him by Chengnan Old Du in front of so many eyes. But he couldn't refuse. Du Tongxuan also knew that he couldn't refuse, so he said leisurely: "I made a special trip to bring you the antidote, but now..." Li Yanbei said: "Now you have changed your mind?" Du Tongxuan smiled and said, "I just suddenly remembered something and wanted to ask you!" Li Yanbei said: "What's the matter?" Du Tongxuan said: "I wonder if you are willing to increase our bet?" Li Yanbei was stunned again: "Do you still want to increase the bet?" Du Tongxuan said: "You dare not?" Li Yanbei said: "How much more do you want to increase?" Du Tongxuan said: "What else do you have to bet on?" Li Yanbei clenched his hands under the table again: "I still have 800,000 taels of silver in the Sadaheng Bank!" Du Tongxuan said: "Then I will deposit 1.2 million taels in tomorrow morning!" His eyes were shining brightly: "I don't want to take advantage of you, our bet is still three to two!" Li Yanbei's eyes also shone, he stared at him, and said word by word: "If I lose all, I will leave the capital immediately. As long as you live for one day, I will never set foot in the capital again!" Du Tongxuan said: "If I lose, I will leave immediately. As long as you live for one day, I will never enter again." Li Yanbei said: "It's a deal?" Du Tongxuan said: "A high five is a letter." The two slowly stretched out their hands, staring into each other's eyes.The restaurant suddenly became completely silent again.This gamble is really too big, and they have bet all their wealth and lives on it. Everyone looked at their hands, and they seemed to be sweating coldly for them.There was only a "pop" and applause.This sound of applause, I don't know who is the death knell for? Li Yanbei's expression was very heavy, and it took a long time before he slowly put down his hands. Du Tongxuan smiled even more complacently: "You must be very strange, why do I still bet with you when I know Ye Gucheng is injured?" Li Yanbei didn't deny it, he was really weird.Everyone is wondering.Du Tongxuan has always been cautious, and he would never do anything he is not sure about.Why is he so sure? This question will soon be answered! The wind blew through the window, and everyone suddenly smelled a strange fragrance of flowers, and then saw six girls with black hair and shoulders, and white clothes like snow, carrying a basket full of yellow chrysanthemums, sprinkled all the way up from downstairs, and sprinkled these bright chrysanthemums, A strip of tapestry was laid on the stairs. A person stepped on flowers and walked up slowly.His face was very white, neither pale nor pale, but a crystal clear and lustrous color like white jade. His eyes were not pitch black, but they were terribly bright, like two cold stars.On his jet-black hair, he wore a crown of sandalwood beads, and his clothes were as white as snow. He walked very slowly, and when he came up, it was like a king walking into his court, or like a flying fairy from the sky, descending to the world. Li Yanbei doesn't recognize this person, and has never seen this person before, but he has already guessed who this person is! "One sword to the west, flying immortals from beyond the sky!" Ye Gucheng, the lord of Baiyun City, came impressively!He is not dead! His whole body seemed to exude a dazzling brilliance, and no one could see that he was by no means a wounded person. Li Yanbei looked at him, almost stopped breathing, and his heart sank.Ye Gucheng didn't look at him, his star-like eyes were staring at Lu Xiaofeng.Lu Xiaofeng smiled. Ye Gucheng said: "You are here too." Lu Xiaofeng said: "I'm coming too!" Ye Gucheng said: "Very good, I know you will definitely come!" Lu Xiaofeng didn't say anything more, because Ye Gucheng's eyes had suddenly moved away from him, and he suddenly asked, "Which one is Tang Tianrong?" When he was asking this sentence, his eyes were fixed on a person in the left corner body. This person's originally handsome face seemed to have suddenly twisted and stiffened.He had been sitting quietly in the corner all this time, even Lu Xiaofeng didn't notice him when he came up.He was still very young, and his clothes were gorgeous, but his eyes had a cruel expression like a carrion hawk. This pair of eyes was also staring at Ye Gucheng, saying word by word: "I am Tang Tianrong!" The seven or eight tables of people sitting between him and Ye Gucheng suddenly dispersed and retreated to the corners on both sides. Ye Gucheng said: "Do you know who I am?" Tang Tianrong nodded. Ye Gucheng said: "Are you wondering why I am still alive?" The muscles at the corners of Tang Tianrong's mouth seemed to be twitching, and he said, "Who detoxified you?" When this sentence was asked out, everyone knew that the honest monk still did not tell lies this time.Ye Gucheng was indeed injured, and was indeed hit by the Tang family's arsenopyrite.But this kind of hidden weapon of poison, which has been famous in the martial arts world for a long time, seems to have no effect on Ye Gucheng. Who detoxified him? Everyone wanted to hear Ye Gucheng answer this question, but Ye Gucheng didn't answer, and said indifferently: "It's not poisonous, why detoxify?" Tang Tianrong said: "It's not poisonous?" Ye Gucheng said: "A little dust, what's the poison?" Tang Tianrong's complexion changed: "The flying sand in our sect is just a speck of dust in your eyes?" Ye Gucheng nodded.Tang Tianrong didn't speak anymore, but stood up slowly, and unbuttoned his long gown, revealing the fine clothes underneath. His costume isn't weird, nor is it scary.What's scary is that there are two leopard leather pouches attached to his left and right hip bones and a pair of fish skin gloves on his belt! The restaurant became silent again, everyone wanted to leave, but couldn't bear to leave.Everyone knows that right here, right now, a thrilling battle is about to begin. Tang Tianrong took off his gown and put on his gloves.There was a strange blue light flashing in the fish skin gloves, and his face seemed to be pale blue as well. Ye Gucheng stood and watched quietly, and there was a boy in white behind him, holding a very quaint long sword with a black scabbard.The sword is in hand! Tang Tianrong stared at the sword in his hand, and suddenly said: "Who else thinks that the flying sand in our sect is just a speck of dust?" of course not! Tang Tianrong said: "If there is no one else, you'd better go downstairs, so as not to be accidentally injured!" Those who are reluctant to leave have no choice but to leave.In the minds of martial arts people, the Tang family's arsenopyrite is more terrifying than the plague, and no one wants to get a little bit of it. Ye Gucheng suddenly said: "You don't have to go!" Tang Tianrong said: "No need?" Ye Gucheng said lightly: "I guarantee that your flying sand can't be shot at all!" Tang Tianrong's complexion changed again.The horror of the hidden weapon of the Tang family's poison is not entirely due to the poison of the hidden weapon, but also because the Tang family's children are quick to attack! Even those who have seen them make moves with hidden weapons cannot describe the speed at which they make moves.But this time Tang Tianrong's hidden weapon really failed to make a move.With a move of his hand, the sword light flew up! No one can describe the brilliance and brilliance of this sword, and no one can describe the speed of this sword!It was not just a sword, but the wrath of Thor, a strike of lightning!The sword light flashed and disappeared. The people of Ye Gucheng have returned to flowers.Tang Tianrong was still standing there, without moving, his hands had dropped, and his face was already stiff. Then everyone saw blood suddenly flow out from under the lute bones of his left and right shoulders, and tears flowed down at the same time with the blood.He knew that in his life, he would never be able to release a hidden weapon again.For the children of the Tang family, this kind of thing is even more terrifying and cruel than death! Now Ye Gucheng's gaze has returned to Lu Xiaofeng's face. Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but said: "It's so good!" Ye Gucheng said: "That is a sword technique unparalleled in the world!" Lu Xiaofeng said: "I admit it!" 叶孤城眼睛里忽然露出种奇怪的表情，问了句奇怪的话：“西门吹雪呢？” 陆小凤道：“我不是西门吹雪。”奇怪的问话，也只有用奇怪的话回答。 叶孤城笑了，凝视着陆小凤，缓缓道：“幸好你不是。”微笑着转过身，走了下去。 然后这酒楼就忽然变得像是一锅刚煮沸的滚水，起了一阵骚动。有的人大声争议，有的人抢着奔下楼，抢着将这消息传出去。叶孤城既没有死，也没有伤。每个人都已看到了他的剑法！天下无双的剑法！李燕北也看见了，看得很清楚，所以现在他眼前似已变得空无一物。 杜桐轩看着他，忽然笑道：“你现在总该知道，我为什么会改变主意了吧？” 李燕北没有回答，也不必回答。 杜桐轩道：“我一向只杀人，不救人，这次却破了例，因为我不想你死！”他微笑着站起来，慢慢地接着道：“因为死人不能付账——赌账。” 赌账。只有死人，才可以不付这笔赌账。只要李燕北还活着，就非付不可，言而无信的人，是没法子在这地方混的！ 现在那一战虽然还未开始，但每个人都认为李燕北已输定了！输了就非付不可。若是付了这笔赌账，就算还活着，也已跟死人差不了许多。 李燕北慢慢地拿起了桌上的解药，忽然笑了笑，道：“不管怎么样，杜桐轩总算救了我一次！”他笑得实在很勉强，拿着解药的手，也仿佛在轻轻发抖。 陆小凤道：“不管怎么样，你现在总算还活着，而且还没有输！” 李燕北点点头道：“至少现在还没有。” 陆小凤凝视着他：“可是现在你已不像以前那么有信心！” 李燕北没有否认，也不能否认，沉默了很久，忍不住长长叹了口气道：“那一剑实在是天下无双的剑法。” 陆小凤道：“天下无双的剑法，并不一定是必胜的剑法！” 李燕北道：“哦？” 陆小凤道：“世上还没有必胜的剑法！” 李燕北道：“我知道西门吹雪至今也没有败过，他本来至少应该有五成把握，可是现在……” 陆小凤道：“现在怎么样？” 李燕北又笑了笑，笑得更勉强：“现在他若已到了京城，我就应该知道的！” 陆小凤道：“你既然不知道，就表示他现在还没有到京城？” 李燕北道：“可以这么说！” 陆小凤道：“他现在既然还没有到京城，是不是就表示他对自己也已没有把握？” 李燕北反问道：“你看呢？” 陆小凤道：“我看不出，还没有发生的事，我从不愿去胡思乱想！” 李燕北又沉默了很久，忽然问道：“你认不认得跟着杜桐轩来的那个人？” Lu Xiaofeng shook his head. 李燕北道：“但你想必也该看得出，他的轻功很不错！” 陆小凤道：“岂止很不错，当今天下，轻功比他高的人，绝不会超出十个！” 李燕北道：“你的交游和见识都很广，你应该猜得出他是谁？” 陆小凤沉吟着，道：“若不是他的身材瘦小，我一定会认为他是司空摘星！” 李燕北道：“他不是？” 陆小凤道：“绝不是！” 李燕北道：“所以你也想不出他是谁？” 陆小凤道：“可是我总觉得这其中一定有点不对！” 李燕北道：“什么不对？” 陆小凤道：“无论他是什么人，以他的身手，都不该做杜桐轩那种人的奴才！” 李燕北没有再说什么，又过了很久，才缓缓说道：“你刚到京城来，我知道你一定想到城里去逛逛，你一定会遇见很多朋友。” 陆小凤承认。他的确想看看究竟已有些什么人到了这里，他还想去找找老实和尚。 李燕北道：“今天晚上，我到金鱼胡同的福寿堂去叫一桌菜，送到家里去，我们在家里吃饭！” 陆小凤道：“好！”他忽又笑了笑：“却不知是你哪个家？” 李燕北也笑了：“今天是十三，我本该在十三姨家里吃晚饭的，她也早就想见见你，为什么会有四条眉毛。” 陆小凤笑道：“我也想见见她，听说她是位很出名的美人！” 李燕北大笑：“好，吃晚饭的时候，我叫人在这里等着接你去！” 陆小凤道：“若是遇见了花满楼，我说不定会拉他一起去！” 李燕北道：“行。” 陆小凤忽然叹了口气：“奇怪的是，他好像也跟着西门吹雪一起失踪了，若是能找得到他，说不定就能找到西门吹雪！” 李燕北道：“为什么？” 陆小凤道：“他找人总有种特别的本事，连我都说不出那究竟是怎么回事！” 李燕北道：“你若到外面去走走，他说不定会先找你！” Lu Xiaofeng said: "Very likely." 李燕北道：“那你现在还在等什么？” 陆小凤看着他，缓缓道：“等你先吃完药！” 李燕北道：“你要看着我吃药再走？” Lu Xiaofeng nodded. 李燕北又大笑：“你放心，我现在还不想死，我不能一下子就让三十个女人同时做寡妇！”
