Volume 3: The disputes in Mingzhou City are gone, and it is difficult to carve a rotten wood for a hundred years Chapter 247: A character from 100 chapters ago appears again
It was a man wearing a gray monk's robe, holding a red umbrella, with the canopy of the umbrella half covering his face, and holding a dark blue sword in his arms under the umbrella. The sword was plain without much decoration, and the man came slowly without making much noise.
When he came, almost no one noticed his presence. It was not until he stopped behind the pirates' team and in front of the chaotic city that one of the pirates set his eyes on him.
"Who are you?" Looking at this strange man who suddenly appeared in their team, the Japanese pirates frowned and shouted loudly in their own language.
"You are from our country, right?" Li Si held up an umbrella and glanced down at the Japanese sword in the other person's hand. The face under the umbrella was half bright and half dark.
"What are you doing here, plundering or invading the border?"
"Tang people?" The Japanese pirates were stunned for a moment after hearing Li Si's words, then frowned even deeper and continued to ask in awkward Tang dialect.
"where u from?"
"Anyway, it doesn't look like a good thing." Li Si glanced at the chaotic Mingzhou city in the distance and sighed slightly.
"Should I kill you?"
"Do you think you can kill us?" The Japanese pirate seemed to understand Li Si's words with difficulty. He sneered and asked back in a cold tone, with the blade in his hand raised.
"Yes, from the moment you came here to kill people, you should have been prepared to be killed." Li Si nodded, as if talking to himself.
The next moment, he raised his head and looked at the Japanese pirates in front of him.
"It seems that I should kill you."
The Japanese pirates were so angry that they laughed and wanted to curse and kill the strange man in front of them.
But then, he saw the eyes of the man opposite him.
Under the red umbrella, the pair of eyes were so calm that it made people feel cold, as if their hands and feet became cold with every breath and could no longer move.
Li Si let go of the red umbrella and held the hilt of the sword with his right hand. Then, a flash of sword light passed through the entire battlefield, and a gust of sword wind blew up, blowing the red umbrella away.
The chaotic battle seemed to have quieted down in an instant, leaving only a glimmer of sword light that had not yet disappeared.
Wada Mamoru raised his head and saw a line of blood emerging from the crowd.
Zuo Liangping turned his eyes and saw a red umbrella floating in the air outside the city.
It seemed that everyone's attention was attracted by this hard-to-ignore sword light. Then, under the cover of the red umbrella in the sky, a figure was seen in a thousand different shapes, and several streaks of blood swept across the entire city.
Perhaps there were thousands of blood splashing at the same time. When the figures disappeared and the blood fell to the ground, Li Si stood with a sword in his hand, and beside him, countless bandits had already fallen to the ground. Blood was flowing from the broken throat, and the eyes that had not yet closed were filled with astonishment.
At this time, the red paper umbrella just fell down and was caught in Li Si's hand. In the wind carrying the stench of blood, on the ground that had already been stained red with blood, the red umbrella looked even more eerie.
The Japanese pirates were stunned, and the officers and soldiers defending the city began to counterattack under the orders of Zuo Liangping and the military commander in the city.
When everything was over and the scattered Japanese pirates fled with knives in hand, it was already nightfall.
Li Si entered the city and went directly to Qianjialou without staying for long.
In the following days, the Japanese pirates still attacked occasionally, but after losing most of their troops, they were no longer able to continue their attacks and would probably retreat soon.
Li Si waited in Mingzhou City until the imperial reinforcements arrived before he said goodbye to Zhang Susu's men and prepared to leave.
He no longer planned to stay in Qianjialou. After all, he was no longer fit to live like this.
Before coming to Mingzhou City, he cremated the old monk's body and brought it back to Jinshan Temple. As for the strange old man, he buried him in Tianmen Mountain.
Now, he just wanted to find a place far away from the world and settle down, just like Jiang Lian'er. But he hadn't figured out what to do next.
"Xiao Si, are you really okay?"
In front of the gate of Qianjialou, looking at Li Si's slightly graying hair, Zhang Susu couldn't help but say with concern.
"Nothing." Li Si held the paper umbrella and iron sword in his hands, looked at the people who came out to see him off, chuckled and replied: "I'm just tired of staying outside, and I want to find a place to settle down."
"It's good to settle it, it's good to settle it..." Zhang Susu nodded, took Li Si's hand and patted it, saying: "Don't forget to write to us after it's settled. If you need any help, just let us know and we will find a way for you. And you can take these."
As she spoke, Zhang Susu took out five taels of gold from her bosom and handed it to Li Si.
"It's not much, but you'll need money when you're out there, so save it for the journey."
Li Si did not refuse. He just looked deeply at the people in front of him, took the gold, and spoke slowly.
"Thank you very much."
"Nothing, just a little token of our appreciation." Zhang Susu's eyes were slightly red, and she held Li Si's hand and said, "If it's quiet during the New Year, just come to our building. It's very lively with so many people, and I can ask Da to cook a few more dishes."
"Yeah." Li Si responded, then looked at Ning Caihe who had been sitting in the corner with her lips pursed and not saying anything. After a long silence, he smiled and said.
"Practice well, I'll be waiting for you in Jianghu..."
After saying that, he let go of Zhang Susu's hand, turned around and waved his sleeves.
"Let's go. No need to see me off."
…
Li Si left Mingzhou City. When he was leaving, he met a group of officers and soldiers passing by on horseback. He knew the leader, Su Hongluo from Tiance Mansion, who was quite famous in the martial arts world recently. It seemed that the people who came to help Mingzhou City this time were from Tiance Mansion. In this way, he was relieved.
But just as the two sides passed each other, Su Hongluo, who was riding on a horse, suddenly raised his hand and shouted behind him.
"Stop, that person wait a moment."
The officers and soldiers stopped, and Li Si also stopped.
After a while, Su Hongluo pulled her horse's head and rode the black horse to Li Si.
She lifted Li Si's chin with her spear, looked at his upturned face, licked her lips excitedly and said.
"Li Si, why are you here?"
You know, she had been thinking about this face for many years, but since that day outside Huaiyang Pass, she had never seen this person again.
If Li Si's whereabouts were not secretive and those good-for-nothings in the Six Gates were not doing anything practical, she would have already tied this man up and brought him to her own house.
Helplessly looking at the tip of the gun against his chin, Li Si glanced at Su Hongluo and said.
"Didn't your father teach you how to treat others?"
Su Hongluo raised her eyebrows, and the look in her eyes seemed to be even more excited. She had to admit that she just liked this kind of hot-tempered man.
"I haven't taught you that, so what?"
"Huh..." Li Si shook his head and sighed. Kids these days really don't understand the rules without a lesson.
Thinking of this, he grabbed the tip of the gun against him, pulled Su Hongluo off the horse, snatched the spear, and shot Su Hongluo in the butt.
"Ouch!" Su Hongluo cried out in pain after being slapped, and staggered forward two steps while holding her butt.
"This shot is a lesson for you. Be more polite when dealing with people in the future." As he spoke, Li Si threw the spear back to Su Hongluo, turned around and slowly walked away.
"Don't chase me anymore. You should know that you guys are no match for me."
Su Hongluo hurriedly caught the spear thrown at him, feeling the burning pain on his buttocks and the weird looks from his subordinates on both sides. He gritted his teeth with a red face, glared at Li Si's back and said.
"Li Si, wait for me."
Sooner or later, I will make you beg me on the bed.
…
Li Si returned to the underworld, but did not cause any trouble again, as if he had completely disappeared.
It was not until May of the following year that a new villa appeared in the Jianghu, called Wenlai Villa..
