The life of a martial arts escort from Longmen

Chapter 164 The Expected Winner

Lu House.

Lu Sanjin looked at the secret message in his hand and immediately panicked, but then he calmed down.

Looking at the flying pigeons, Lu Sanjin frowned, he felt that the matter was not easy.

How could it be such a coincidence?Will this secret letter fall from the sky?And it just happened to fall into his own hands?

Sitting in the study, Lu Sanjin's eyes were so wise that there was a divine brilliance.

When I just returned to the capital, I heard that this underground force offered a reward to Brother Nan, and even vaguely intended to use a kill order on Brother Nan.

I thought this was just fake news at first, but I didn’t expect it to become true now.

So……

Who sent this letter to me?Who on earth is it?

Lu Sanjin carefully recalled some of the people he had come into contact with who did wet work.

Most of them are just a one-sided relationship, and some even have enmity.

How is it possible to send a message to yourself?Or are they friends of Brother Nan and Uncle Gong?
"call……"

Lu Sanjin sighed helplessly.

Ever since he took over the Longmen Escort, he could feel the naked malice from all directions.

There have always been people who wanted Longmen Escort Agency to close down, but Lu Sanjin could only hold on to it.

He suddenly wondered whether it was the right choice for him to go to Longmen Bodyguard Agency.

……

……

Forbidden City.

There was an explosion under the ring, and some people looked at the three people above with angry eyes.

"These three people are shameless, we are ashamed to be with them."

A young man dressed as a scholar in a green shirt and a square scarf angrily scolded the three people on the stage.

"Brother Xu said that it's enough for these three people to besiege one by one in such a shameless manner, but it's too much to humiliate others like this." Someone agreed.

A bearded bearded man in tattered clothes who thought he saw through everything and was beaten by a beggar next to him said:

"Hey, what do you two scholars know? The three of you seem to be killers who have accepted the mission. I'm afraid they came here to take Li Nan's life. A little face is nothing."

As he spoke, the man raised his head and poured a bottle of fine wine into his stomach. Looking at his flushed cheeks, you could tell that he had drunk a lot.

As for Bai Jingqi, who was watching what happened just now, his face was red, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked as if he was going to fight someone desperately.

For him, being a brother means loyalty.

Naturally, he would not watch Li Nan being humiliated.

Fortunately, Lu Qingcheng on the side stopped him, otherwise he would have rushed forward.

Lu Qingcheng raised her head slightly, looked at Bai Jingqi's eyes with moist eyes, and said slowly, "Jingqi, trust Brother Nan."

"call……"

Bai Jingqi took a breath and nodded heavily.

on the ring.

The monk who returned to the secular world felt ashamed and angry at being chased and killed by Li Nan just now.

At this time, seeing Li Nan being threatened by the three of them, he naturally would not give up.

He had already thought about it, and he must humiliate Li Nan, this little boy.

"Hey, are you deaf? I told you to get here, didn't you hear me?"

The retired monk stepped on the cold coffin and shouted at Li Nan.

Li Nan narrowed his slender eyes slightly, and looked at the fat leg of the monk who had returned to the secular world.

System, what happened to the layout just now?Are you done?
[The modification of the cold coffin demon has been completed, please rest assured the host, note: [-] constant energy has been consumed. 】

Of course, Li Nan is not a fool, he would leave such a big opening, when he was ridiculed by the four people just now, he had already secretly arranged his tricks.

and so……

"Dog, what are you waiting for? I..."

"Monk, your..."

The monk who returned to the secular world continued to shout, but was suddenly interrupted, and looked at the skinny masked man behind him with dissatisfaction.

"Blackface, what do you mean?"

The masked man pointed at the fat leg that the retired monk placed on the cold coffin.

I don't know when, a touch of cold white frost has covered his legs.

Visible to the naked eye, the flushed face of the exorcist monk suddenly turned pale.

People also began to tremble uncontrollably.

"You... you... what kind of trick did you kid play?"

Li Nan walked towards the three of them step by step, with no expression on his face, and the three-foot long sword in his hand exuded a strong murderous aura.

"Don't come here!!!"

Suddenly the masked man yelled, and at the same time the iron chain in his hand was wrapped around the cold coffin.

Threats mean a lot.

"Hurry up and hand over the antidote! Otherwise, I will definitely put the dead man inside, a violent corpse in the wilderness!"

The corner of Li Nan's mouth curled into an extremely mocking smile, and he continued to walk in the direction of the three of them.

The man in coir raincoat, bamboo hat, long knife slung around his waist, dressed as a master, had already sensed that something was wrong.

His intuition told him that if you run away, you must run away, and don't run back.

So the two monks were surprised, puzzled, and with angry eyes, the coir raincoat turned around and fled out of the arena.

Just go down, just go down, no fighting is allowed down there, you will find a chance to escape when the time comes.

right!I must be able to escape.

hum-

The dragon gun roared, rising from the ground and flying towards the coir raincoat guest.

Sigh...why do you suddenly have no strength?Feeling empty.

The coir raincoat guest slowly lowered his head and looked at his chest with his weathered eyes.

A dragon's head opened its mouth wide and roared, stabbing it from the back to the chest.

The blood slowly flowed down the tip of the spear, before it fell to the ground, it was sucked clean by the dragon spear.

Li Nan calmly walked to the side of the coir raincoat who was still alive, and said with a smile, "It's okay, you won't die in a while."

The coir raincoat's bamboo hat fell to the ground, revealing his old eyes.

At this moment, the inside was full of panic, opened and closed his mouth twice, and roared with a little anger: "You shameless person who only knows how to attack."

Li Nan smiled, put his mouth against his ear, and said with an evil smile: "Wang Yu, you are right, my moral bottom line is indeed quite low."

Wang Yu was startled, her pupils dilated quickly, and she looked at Li Nan's young face in shock.

"you you……"

For a long time, Wang Yu couldn't say a word.

Over there at the cold coffin.

The two monks who returned to secular life had long wanted to escape, but unfortunately things backfired.

At some point, the two of them felt cold all over, their hands and feet were numb, their bodies weighed a thousand catties, and it was very difficult for them to move.

At this moment, the two already knew that they were played by Li Nan, and he was going to keep them all from the beginning.

It's just that there was no way at first, until a seemingly flawed trap was revealed.

They were now in despair, filled with regret.

Looking at Li Nan's spear, the two of them couldn't help but shudder.

The two men with knives were thrust into it by Li Nan, one pressing down on the other.

Li Nan controlled his internal strength to levitate the spear in mid-air, and walked up to the two people who were already stiff.

"Don't worry, you two come one by one."

The fat face of the monk who returned to secular life suddenly fell down, and he cried out with snot and tears: "Master Li, please spare this villain's life. The villain was blinded by lard for a moment, and he made a mistake for a moment. , not the truth..."

The monk who returned to secular life demonstrated what it means to be able to bend and stretch.

He kept making witty remarks and flattering her, but the masked man beside him said nothing.

He seems to have known his next fate.

Li Nan yawned, and slowly mocked: "You are really flexible."

The monk who returned to secular life was overjoyed, and the hatred in the depths of his eyes was hidden even deeper by him.

"Then...is Grandmaster Li letting me go?"

Li Nan raised the corners of his mouth and said nothing.

When the monk who returned to secular life saw Li Nan's appearance, his heart felt cold.

But he couldn't control that much anymore, he could feel the loss of life, and with a little effort, he slowly crawled down the ring.

It's slow, but firm.

He felt that his limbs were numb, and he was just slowly squirming on the ground.

Soon the expensive clothes were torn, then the skin and flesh, and the cold blood soaked into the tattered clothes, and finally flowed on the ground.

A long blood mark appeared on the ring, and a faint smell of blood with an inexplicable coldness appeared in the space, blowing along the breeze to everyone in the audience.

Huo Tianshi's hands were trembling, his eyes were bloodshot, and his eyes were about to burst.

waste!waste!A bunch of trash, even such a small bodyguard can't beat them, so what's the use of all of you.

Huo Tianshi was furious and kept cursing.

Bai Jingqi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Li Nan turning his hands into rain and turning his hands into clouds.

Immediately after hearing a commotion, he turned his head and saw the impotent and furious Huo Tianshi.

Bai Jingqi curled his lips disdainfully.

Taking three steps and two steps, he arrived in front of Huo Tianshi arrogantly.

"Master Huo? When will you settle the money? "

Bai Jingqi's move seems a bit like a villain's success.

but……

Did Bai Jingqi ever say that he was a hero?It seems not.

Therefore, I am willing to bet and admit defeat.

Huo Tianshi's heart was bleeding, he thought he could take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune.

I didn't expect to be bloodletted today.

And some knights who spent a lot of money to suppress Li Nan's defeat turned pale and looked at Li Nan on the ring with unkind eyes.

The few people around who had pressed all their belongings into it were breathing a little harder.

Several people looked at each other in tacit understanding and clenched the weapons in their hands.

Over there, Bai Jingqi was still pressing his head, begging Huo Tianshi for gambling money.

Suddenly, seven or eight people jumped onto the ring, including men and women.

They are all people who have held down a lot of money just now.

As soon as these seven or eight people went up, the audience became deserted, and there were only about twenty people left.

Li Nan sent the two frozen to death to the Dragon Spear just now, and accompanied the coir raincoat guest.

The three of them were still alive, so Li Nan deliberately held back his strength.

He saw the somewhat reserved seven people standing opposite him.

Li Nan opened his mouth again, but Bai Jingqi below was already cursing.

"You despicable and shameless villains, what are you capable of taking advantage of others? If you have the ability, come with me..."

Looking at the furious Bai Jingqi, Li Nan smiled and said: "Jingqi, don't panic, he's just a chicken and a dog, it's just a matter of a few moves."

As soon as Li Nan said this, he thought that his behavior was not moral, and the panicked faces of the few people immediately became angry.

"Why do you talk like this? We are also the leaders of the younger generation, okay?"

A crisp female voice sounded, it was a woman in a blue dress.

Li Nan frowned slightly, and asked with curiosity and contempt: "You guys bully the few with more, are you the so-called outstanding young people?"

Most of these people have just entered the Grandmaster Realm, and Li Nan felt that fighting them should be a matter of a few tricks.

Hearing that they don't know how to put gold on their faces, they can't help feeling contemptuous.

After Li Nan said a word, the woman in blue was immediately speechless.

In fact, if she hadn't run out of money, she wouldn't want to do such a derogatory thing.

Unfortunately, it was just that she "didn't want to". After all, she still couldn't bear to part with her banknote.

Both sides have been sharpening their swords and are ready to start a war.

At this time, standing next to the woman in blue, a man wearing brocade clothes and holding a precious paper fan came out.

With a smile, he said, "Master Li, please listen to what I say?"

Li Nan was taken aback for a moment, and looked at the person in front of him more, and felt familiar.

Then use the system to find out his identity.

After a while, Li Nan narrowed his eyes slightly, smiled slowly and said, "Go ahead."

Chu Shiyun glanced at Li Nan in surprise, he didn't expect Li Nan to agree to him, he was just going through the motions.

Coughing twice: "That's right. I think Grandmaster Li must be exhausted after fighting so many battles. Why don't you go down and take a rest first, how about coming up later?"

Chu Shiyun waved his paper fan, with a confident smile on his handsome face, as if he felt that his suggestion was perfect.

Li Nanhu remained silent, looking at Chu Shiyun with a look similar to looking at a fool.

"I saw the bet just now, I, Li Nan, will not lose the chain at a critical moment, so you should give up your heart.

What advice do you have?Just draw the road, I, Li Nan, continue! "

As he said that, a powerful aura rose from Li Nan's body, as if he wanted to start a war if he disagreed.

Seeing Li Nan's boiling fighting spirit, several people felt dizzy for a moment.

Originally, their intention was to come here to show off and put some pressure on Li Nan.

So that he can retreat in the face of difficulties, and save himself from beating himself to death.

I didn't say that Li Nanna was so rigid.

Just one word, Gan!

"Damn it, there are so many of us, we are afraid of what he will do, um, I will go first, you look forward to it."

As he said this, a rough man carrying a war hammer rushed to Li Nan.

With some surprise, Li Nan picked him up with a sword and fell to the ground.

Then with three points of force under his feet, he kicked him under the ring, but he couldn't get out of bed for several days.

"Who else!"

Li Nan suddenly roared, resounding through the audience.

At the same time, the six people facing Li Nan were startled and quickly covered their ears.

But even so, it still made some people with shallow spiritual cultivation turn pale, and faint blood flowed from their ears.

Saw the gap.

The two little girls who had been dragged in the first place left the ring without saying a word.

Huo Tianshi, who was watching this scene below, was trembling all over.

"Is there anyone else who wants to challenge Li? Li Mouquan will follow!"

With another roar, the faces of the remaining people were forced to change drastically, and they were faintly unsteady.

Immediately, he walked down the ring in despair.

Li Nan smiled with satisfaction, and immediately after the internal force changed, a long green stream rushed to his throat.

Li Nan's two blows just now hurt his throat again, but so far, the effect is not bad.

The deterrent effect has been achieved.

Li Nan is not a machine, and he will get tired if he fights endlessly.

So a quick decision was made.

Zhou Tuyu always smiled and did not cover his ears like others.

Instead, she listened carefully with an intoxicated look on her face.

Such a powerful sound of beasts, this sound skill is estimated to have been around for 30 to [-] years, and I don't know which master in the heaven and man realm this person is learning from.

Zhou Tuyu looked at Li Nan carefully, as if admiring a human treasure, with a look of obsession on his face.

Li Nan felt a chill behind him. He felt someone staring at him and turned his head instantly.

He just watched Zhou Tuyu staring at his back with an idiotic expression on his face.

Li Nan suddenly broke into a cold sweat.

Li Nan already knew that Zhou Tuyu, like Zhou Changjian, was a descendant of the Great Zhou royal family.

These must be people who have been pampered since childhood and have everything they want.

It is not surprising that Longyang is good.

Somewhat sighing, Li Nang was about to turn around when he saw Zhou Tuyu greeting him with a fascinated smile on his face.

Suddenly, I felt a chill. I resisted the thought of killing him with a sword and looked away from him.

Huo Tianshi had gradually suppressed the restlessness in his heart at this time, and slowly calmed down.

He regained a bit of his bearing as the eldest young master of the Huo family.

Slowly said: "After today is over, come to my Huo family to settle the accounts. I, Huo Tianshi, will never default on my gambling money."

After Huo Tianshi finished speaking, he remained silent.

suddenly.

Zhou Tuyu shook the paper fan, and walked up to Huo Tianshi imposingly.

Curiously asked: "Brother Huo has high martial arts skills and superb techniques, why don't you go on stage to fight with Grandmaster Li, and let me watch and learn."

Huo Tianshi frowned. He had never found out the details of Zhou Tuyu, so he was on guard.

Seeing Zhou Tuyu's bright provocation, Huo Tianshi smiled disdainfully, but said nothing.

Seeing Huo Tianshi's reaction, Zhou Tuyu sighed slightly, he thought Huo Tianshi was a stunned young man.

Unexpectedly, it was just a little arrogant, but still a little calm.

After a while, no one came up to fight Li Nan, they were just standing in the audience from a distance, looking at the man standing in the center of the ring.

The snow is still falling, and as the night gets darker, the snowflakes are getting bigger and bigger.The wind stopped unknowingly, there was no howling of the wind, and there was a dead silence around.

Only the bonfire on the surrounding stone pillars was crackling, and it was unclear what kind of fuel was made of it, so it was so burnable.

Li Nan greedily took a breath of the woody scent in the air, looking at the lights outside the high wall.

Outside the Forbidden City was bustling with traffic, and the noise seemed to be transmitted into the palace walls, and the people were seriously celebrating the festival.

Standing on the palace wall, overlooking the entire Forbidden City, the harem is brightly lit, lanterns are decorated everywhere, and there are countless eunuchs and maids running around, looking like they are in their prime.

On the Tiantian Platform, Li Nan glanced at the scattered lights that looked so dazzling and lonely. From time to time, he could hear the clash of swords and the roar of a group of warriors fighting in the distance.

All this makes Li Nan have the illusion of being in two worlds.

Slowly exhaling a breath, Li Nan's mood stabilized.

The time for half a stick of incense had passed, and no one came forward to compete with Li Nan for the first place.

Li Nan won.

Yu Huatian glanced at Li Nan, and then walked towards the crowd together with the squinting old eunuch.

With a cotton robe tied on his back and an official hat, Yuhuatian walked in the snowy night without a trace.

Soon he arrived in front of the warriors.

"Everyone, since No. 1 of Chengtiantai has come out, come with us. Your Majesty has already made arrangements."

Li Nan nodded, carried the cold coffin on his back, and came to Bai Jingqi and his side.

"Fuck, let me say that I read it right, brother Nan is really awesome."

Bai Jingqi got an unexpected windfall, and now he can't be happier.

Li Nan looked at the child's temperament, and Bai Jingqi, who was jumping up and down, laughed dumbly.

"Ahem, Jingqi, it's not enough, it's just a little money, things outside of the body."

"Oh, brother Nan, do you know how much this is for you to pretend to be?"

Li Nan still looked calm, suddenly remembered something, and made a big move.

The dragon spear retracted into the shadow.

Li Nan continued to ask calmly, "How much."

"Ahem! Nearly 5 taels of silver notes."

"It's just fifty thousand...isn't that much?"

"5 million taels."

Seeing the complacent Bai Jingqi who made a windfall, Li Nan suddenly felt a little sour.

Li Nan is far from being poor, but he is far from being rich.

So I was a little envious, but it was true, Li Nan wanted to marry Shuang'er.

Perhaps due to the influence of his previous life, he is more serious about money than ordinary Jianghu young heroes.

Of course, it is also possible that they disguise themselves better.

Along the way, Li Nan was actually looking forward to it.

He hadn't seen Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng yet, and he remembered the descriptions of these two sword gods in the Jianghu.

Li Nan felt itchy and wanted to fight with them.

Every time this feeling of wanting to fight with others comes to mind, Li Nan always feels a little puzzled.

Like Lu Xiaofeng, Li Nan is a person who is afraid of trouble, so he shouldn't have such arrogant thoughts in the first place.

But it appeared out of nowhere, maybe because I used the sword too much, and I wanted to get a taste of the real sword.

Thinking that he had never comprehended the sword intent, Li Nan felt that perhaps it was because he hadn't really fought against a strong swordsman that he hadn't comprehended it for a long time.

If you haven't seen it, how can you appreciate it?

Isn’t there a good saying?Human beings cannot imagine things they have not seen.

It should be this.

Walking through several long alleys along the way, the more you enter the center of the Forbidden City, the more lights there are and the more people there are.

The arrival of a group of thirty people made these court ladies and eunuchs stay away.

Li Nan's perception is excellent. Since he walked to the center, many people have focused their attention on him.

Li Nan felt awe-inspiring.

The Great Ming Dynasty in this world has not been overthrown for so many years.

Naturally, there will be a group of loyal and powerful guards.

If Li Nan guessed correctly, the people who looked at his team were all masters.

And their task is to protect the safety of the current emperor.

Yuhuatian at the front was still unhurried, completely ignoring those gazes.

Soon, a resplendent and magnificent hall ahead attracted everyone's attention.

"Everyone, the place has arrived. I told you before, so please pay attention to your words and deeds."

Ma Jinliang spoke slowly, leading everyone into the hall.

Li Nan was about to raise his heels when the old eunuch who had been squinting came to them with a smile.

"Master Li, please come with us."

Li Nan withdrew his foot and smiled slowly: "Then please lead the way."
