Volume 1: The Jianghu is the main thing, who is the guest? Chapter 25 I Want to Kill You Too
The next morning.
The green window was half-closed, and outside the window, heavy snow was drifting and scattering, as thick as catkins and as soft as light smoke, falling in the huge city of Chang'an.
The snow was heavy but the wind was not strong.
Li Muchan walked out of Liuxiang Pavilion, followed by the Water Envoy, the Fire Envoy, and several disciples of the Demon Sect who were responsible for passing on orders to attack.
The remaining members of the evil cult had already quietly disappeared into the darkness.
Li Muchan was holding an umbrella, and he was wearing a white cape with a velvet collar over his black robe. Perhaps because he was used to living in the tomb without seeing the sun, or because he had practiced that sinister and evil martial art, he had become a little light-averse, or he didn't like standing in the sun, as if exposing himself to the light was too dangerous.
He sniffed the scent wafting in the morning breeze and whispered, "It's the winter solstice!"
The water user also sighed, "Yes."
The fire made his deep sunken eyes turn, showing signs of redness. His dark face was extremely thin and stretched, his eye sockets were blue, and his eyeballs were bloodshot, as if he had not slept well last night.
He stared at Li Muchan's back and replied in the same sinister voice: "It's perfect for killing people."
For the whole night, the two of them seemed to be following Li Muchan's lead and obeying his orders.
But Li Muchan knew that these two people had probably already thought of countless cruel ways for him to die.
"Do you two know Shangguan Xiaoxian?" he suddenly asked.
The water master said coldly, "She is very cunning and hides her true intentions, but she is just a woman after all. Just like her mother, she is full of schemes and plots, but in the end, she still fails miserably and falls into prostitution."
Li Muchan was holding a sky-blue tung oil umbrella, with a thin layer of snow on the top. She held the umbrella with one hand and hid the other hand in her long and large black sleeve. Without turning her head, she said, "I'm talking about her martial arts."
The Fire Master laughed strangely, his face twisted, "How could she have practiced martial arts that would shake the world since she grew up in a brothel? Could it be that her mother was receiving guests while she was hiding under the bed to practice martial arts? Hahahaha."
This person not only has a vicious heart, but also has a vicious mouth.
The water envoy thought for a while and said, "Since the leader has promised this man the position of Heavenly King, maybe he can secretly learn some of the Holy Religion's unique skills. With Shangguan Jinhong's martial arts, he may really become a great man ."
At this point, Li Muchan cleared his throat, turned the umbrella handle in his hand, and asked casually, "Have you found any traces of the Qinglong Society in the city?"
A disciple of the Demon Sect behind him replied, "No, we had already searched Chang'an City thoroughly before you came, and found nothing. It's as if everyone disappeared into thin air."
"Is that so?" Li Muchan walked slowly down the long street. "Then let's prepare for action. The Water Envoy will be in charge of defense, and all the disciples will be dispersed around Lengxiang Garden to prevent the Qinglong Society from attacking. The Fire Envoy and I will be in charge of attack, waiting for an opportunity to strike. Together with the Third Princess, we will make a quick decision and capture Shangguan Xiaoxian first."
After he finished speaking, the water envoy behind him winked at several disciples of the Demon Sect. They immediately understood and quickly dispersed, disappearing into the wind and snow.
The Water Envoy and the Fire Envoy looked at each other again, then looked deeply at Li Muchan's back, left a word "be careful", and disappeared immediately.
Snow was falling on the long street, and the sky was still dark, but the smell of fireworks had already dissipated early.
Some small shops have opened for business, the dim lights overflowing, dyeing the snow with bright colors; there are also hawkers hawking their wares on the street, and old men pushing dung carts, and collecting toilet buckets from every household.
The Fire Envoy had two swords on his waist, his soft, burnt yellow hair fluttering in the wind, and his arms seemingly folded across his chest, but in fact his hands were secretly drooping, ready to draw his swords at any time; he seemed to be unafraid of the severe cold in his thin clothes, and was as tall and thin as a bamboo pole, and he seemed to despise Li Muchan's sickly and pale appearance, staring at him with his bloodshot yellow eyes, as if he was afraid that the person in front of him would fly away.
The two of them walked towards Lengxiang Garden, one in front and one behind.
It is now midwinter, and Lengxiang Garden is the best place to visit in Chang'an City. Thousands of plum trees are in full bloom in the garden. There are also twenty-one courtyards, fourteen buildings, seven halls, twenty-eight flower halls, and more than two hundred guest rooms. It is a great place to enjoy plum blossoms.
Ye Kai and Shangguan Xiaoxian are said to be among them.
The third princess Tiegu also went in early to make plans.
Li Muchan walked in front, listening to the suppressed breathing and the cold murderous intent behind him, and whispered, "Are you going to have a relapse?"
The Fire Envoy said in a hoarse voice: "I heard that Ding Linglin, the eldest daughter of the Ding family, one of the three great families in the martial arts world, has also come with Ye Kai. She is extremely beautiful and has an unparalleled appearance. She must be a peerless god."
Li Muchan really couldn't understand how such a lustful ghost could survive until now. He walked in the snow, and heard a creaking sound under his feet. He asked with a hint of curiosity: "You are so strange, is it because of practicing martial arts?"
The fire user laughed like a mandrill, and his shadow under the lamplight seemed to become a little weird: "Yes, it's not just me, the water user is the same, it's just because we practiced the wrong martial arts."
He answered nonchalantly.
The two of them asked and answered each other, and their legs were quite strong. After a while, they could smell the fragrance of flowers.
The Fire Envoy suddenly said, "You said last night that you also have secret agents. Are they in the Money Gang or the Azure Dragon Society? Why not call them out and let's see."
Li Muchan looked at Leng Xiangyuan not far away, and suddenly stopped walking. He answered the question calmly, "I remember when we first met in the Hundred Ghosts Forest, you seemed to have murderous intentions towards me, and said you might as well just kill me."
The Fire Envoy was stunned when he heard this, as if he was caught off guard by this sentence, but he then continued to laugh sinisterly: "Yes, I said so, and I still think so now. If I have the intention to kill, it will never be easy to change. Even the king of heaven will kill him."
"Very good," Li Muchan nodded, and then repeated, "Very good!"
The Fire Envoy crossed his hands and placed them on the hilt of the sword. He stared at Li Muchan's back with a cruel look in his eyes and grinned, "Do you think it's good?"
But Li Muchan said: "Unfortunately, I thought so too."
He paused, then quickly added very seriously, "I want to kill you, too."
As soon as he finished speaking, two curved swords cut off the wind and snow, and attacked from behind, cutting Li Muchan in half.
"So, your spies and secret agents and the secret treasures of the Money Gang are all fake?"
The fire master grinned and raised his sword, but the scene of blood splattering and intestines falling to the ground did not appear.
He cut off only the cloak, and the two halves fell powerlessly into the snow.
"Um?"
In a flash, the fire master made a prompt decision, stared and raised his brows, jumped into the air, and chopped down the oil-paper umbrella in front of him with both swords from top to bottom.
However, unexpectedly, a clear and sharp sound of metal clashing was heard from under the sword.
The ribs of this umbrella are actually made of fine steel.
The iron umbrella fell to the ground, and a figure floated out like a ghost. He did not attack the Fire Envoy, but rushed towards the "Lengxiang Garden". His black robe fluttered in the wind, his black hair flew, and he went very fast, with rolling snow waves behind him.
"Of course it's true. I'm just afraid you don't have the guts to follow me."
Hearing Li Muchan's voice, the Fire Envoy's face twisted and he let out a hoarse and fierce cry like a night owl. His tall and thin body instantly rose two or three feet into the air, with his two swords like hooks, and he swooped down from the air like a flying yaksha.
