Li Ke rode his horse towards the northeast of Jinyang, because according to Li Ke's plan, he had to reach Xiangshui Town before dark. During this period, he not only had to cross Xiaoheng Mountain, but also pass through Xiangshui Forest and cross Xiangshui Forest. It can only be reached by water river.
Jinyang and Xiangshui Town are separated by more than a hundred miles, and there are no villages in between. They are the only way to the northeast.
When encountering an open wilderness, Li Ke would gallop quickly. If it was a mountain trail, Li Ke would take a leisurely look while enjoying the scenery, picking up the wine bottle on the saddle and taking a sip. Sometimes he would mutter a few lines of poetry, feeling very uncomfortable.
After everyone in the Tian family learned that Li Ke had been expelled from the house by Li Tian, they were naturally dissatisfied. They felt that such a punishment would be an advantage to Li Ke, and the marriage contract between the two families was also in vain. At this time, a common problem emerged between the Tian family father and daughter. The thought was: "Li Tian and Li Ke and his son must be staging a bitter plot. When things calmed down, Li Ke appeared out of nowhere and returned to the Li family. With this move, the engagement was also terminated, and The Li family promised to give an explanation to the Tian family and that was it."
"Judging from Li Tian's personality for so many years, this possibility is inevitable. Li Tian has been in business for so many years and has always been known for being cunning and cunning. Maybe the Li family will engage in such a big battle. Give me a big show for the Tian family." Tian Yong said thinking he was smart.
Tian Fengxiao nodded in agreement and agreed, "That's right, maybe she acted like this because she didn't want to go to my Tian family to apologize."
While the three of them were discussing, a servant hurried in from outside the door. This person was the one sent by the Tian family to monitor Li Ke. When the three of them saw the servant returning, they asked eagerly: "What's the situation? Is Li Ke really being arrested?" Kicked out of the house?”
I saw that the servant was panting and responded urgently: "Master Qi, after being kicked out of the Li family yesterday, Li Ke stayed overnight in Xiuming's house and left Jinyang City this morning under Xiuming's escort. , the city heading out of the east gate seems to have indeed left Jinyang."
When the three Tian family members heard this, they were all surprised: "Is it possible that the Li family really kicked Li Ke out of the house?"
Tian Fengxiao was not happy and said: "Such words are too cheap for Li Ke. Not only did he break off the engagement in the street, but he also injured Jin Hu, a loser. He simply didn't take our Tian family seriously. We must make him pay the price." "A plan of assassination and revenge began to be planned in Tianjiatang.
After planning everything, Tian Sanqian smiled sinisterly and said slowly: "From what you two described yesterday, Li Ke's martial arts training is not low. To ensure that nothing happens, my father has hired three heroes of the Tu clan from other places with a large sum of money this time. We will never let Li Ke leave easily this time."
"Three heroes of the Tu clan! Are they the murderous gang wanted by the government? I heard that these three people are notorious villains in the world. They have extremely high martial arts skills and ruthless methods. They have never had a living creature under their hands." Tian Yong asked in surprise. .
Just as Tian Yong finished speaking, three big men were walking outside the door. Although they all covered themselves tightly with black cloaks, only a pair of eyes were exposed. The man walking in front had a scimitar hanging on his waist, and he was holding the knife in one hand. The handle, a fist clenched in one hand, this person is Tu Wuwei, the leader of the three heroes of the Tu clan. Wherever a scimitar touches, blood flows, and no one has survived under the sword. Following behind, on the left is Tu Wuwei , with two short guns crossed behind him, the tips of the two short guns were cold and cold. I heard that one man once held two guns and had a battle with more than 30 people who were arresting him. The more than 30 people who fought with him were either dead or maimed. He escaped unscathed, and his spear skills were very good; the one on the right was Tu Wuxiu, who lived up to his name. Although the ax on his waist was rusty, most of the people who fought with him were not hacked to death, but smashed. He was always fighting to the death, so his ax looked badly damaged and rusty.
When Tian Sanqian saw the person coming, he immediately signaled Tian Fengxiao to retreat to the back hall and not come out. Then he went up to them, with a smile on his face, but he was still scared in his heart. After all, they were all extremely evil people, and they were all devils who killed without blinking an eye. Tian Sanqian ordered his servants to present the gold and silver notes promised in advance, and informed Li Ke of his whereabouts.
The three of them got the money and went straight out the door to intercept and kill Li Ke. At this time, Tian Yong stood up and motioned for the three of them to wait. He told Mingtian Sanqian that he wanted to go with the three of them, and he had to see Li Ke's suffering with his own eyes in order to relieve the hatred in his heart.
Tian Sanqian looked at Tian Yong's angry look, and then looked at the scary appearances of the three men of the Tu clan. He couldn't help but feel a little worried. However, under Tian Yong's repeated troubles, Tian Sanqian finally chose to compromise and move towards the Tu clan. Sanxiong walked over: "Three heroes, I will ask you to protect my son. I will be grateful when I return."
Tu Wudi looked at Tian Yong and said to Tian Sanqian: "As long as you have money, you can talk about anything."
So Tian Yong and the three heroes of the Tu clan chased Li Ke in the direction where he left. According to the three men's plan, they wanted to kill Li Ke in Xiangshui Forest. Tian Yong followed the three men and couldn't help but feel excited. The image of Li Ke kneeling on the ground, wailing and begging for mercy, kept appearing in his mind, with an evil smile appearing on his lips from time to time.
At this time, Li Ke was wandering leisurely in Xiaoheng Mountain, and it would take some time to reach Xiangshui Forest. He didn't know that the Tian family had arranged for a killer to come to take revenge, and he looked like he was just wandering around. Li Ke was walking forward when he suddenly met a firewood man. He stepped forward and asked, "Old man, what kind of mountain is this?"
"Little Hengshan".
"Then what's so interesting about this mountain?" Li Ke continued to ask.
Seeing that Li Ke was so curious, the firewood collector simply took off the firewood on his back and said to Li Ke: "This mountain is called Xiaoheng Mountain. It is named because of its vertical and horizontal shape. It is said that you can look back at the panoramic view of Jinyang City when you climb to the top of the mountain. , but the road up the mountain is rugged and steep, and almost no one has ever gone up it. Farmers who collect firewood usually work at the foot of the mountain or on the gentler mountainside. However, I heard that there is a stone wall on the top of the mountain, with many poems and couplets written by previous literati travelers engraved on it. , apart from that, I haven’t heard of anything else.”
Li Ke took off the wine bottle from the saddle, handed it to the woodcutter, and thanked him profusely. But in his heart, he made up his mind to climb to the top of the mountain to find out what was going on while it was still early. After the old man returned the wine bottle, Li Ke hurriedly walked deeper.
After walking for a while, I couldn't continue riding, so I found a secluded forest and left my horse there, and walked up the mountain alone, carrying only a wine bottle.
The three heroes of the Tu clan and Tian Yong also arrived at the Xiaoheng Mountain pass at this time. They also met the firewood collector just now. Tian Yong stepped forward and asked: "Firewood collector! Have you ever seen a person and a horse passing by here?"
Seeing the fierce expressions on the group of people, the old man knew that they were not good people, so he hesitated to say anything.
Seeing this, Tu Wuxiu pulled out the rusty ax from his waist and started playing with it. Suddenly there was a "click" and a waist-thick pine tree by the roadside broke. The woodcutter was so frightened that he fell to his knees with a plop and said quickly: "Just now, a man went into the mountain and asked me about the origin of the mountain. After I told him, he went deeper, I think. Let’s get to the top.”
After hearing this, the four people ignored the firewood man and ran straight to the mountain. After some searching, they found Li Ke's horse in a hidden bush at the foot of the mountain. However, the four people did not do anything because they confirmed that Li Ke was here. It's a good thing for them.
Tu Wuwei said at this time: "Brother, let's leave quickly. First, we can set up an ambush in the Xiangshui Forest in front of us. We'll just wait quietly for that kid to come to our door. Then we'll catch a turtle in a jar for him."
The three of them looked at each other and smiled knowingly. Tian Yong followed the three of them and ran towards Xiangshui Forest.
Li Ke was still climbing the mountain at this time, and he didn't know that because he was climbing the mountain, he gave the Tian family and the three heroes of the Tu family the opportunity to carefully ambush. After a difficult climb, Li Ke finally reached the top of the mountain. He breathed a long sigh of relief and looked at Jinyang City. Sure enough, from a distance, the entire Jinyang City lay quietly among the mountains, just like a naturally formed Treasure Basin, Li Ke couldn't help but feel a little sad when he looked at this friendly Jinyang City. After all, this was the place where he had lived for twenty-two years.
Li Ke didn't delay too much. After some emotion, he thought of the stone wall mentioned by the old firewood collector, so he searched for it on the top of the mountain.
An ancient pine shaped like a coiling dragon caught Li Ke's attention. Li Ke walked slowly over and found a slender huge stone slab leaning behind the ancient pine. There were indeed some signs of deep and shallow carvings on it. Li Ke After careful inspection, it turned out that they were all written by wandering poets. Most of them wrote about landscapes, and some of them had been corroded by wind and rain and could not be understood clearly.
Li Ke thought that he could compose a few lines, so he also wanted to leave his own poems here. After all, in Li Ke's mind, he was more arrogant than anyone else. So Li Ke took out a dagger from his body and carved on the stone slab:
Thousands of miles of vast mountains and rivers,
Years of traveling are wasted.
The vast sun floats in the distance,
There is still a lot of anger left.
Li Ke finished the carving and signed his name next to the poem - Keshu. Then he laughed loudly and recited the last two sentences loudly, which seemed to resound throughout the entire mountain. Li Ke looked back at Jinyang City behind him again, and then looked at the poem he had written. He was satisfied and was about to leave. Not long after, Li Ke got off the mountain and rode away.
The three heroes of the Tu clan had already set up an ambush in Xiangshui Forest and waited for a long time. Just as the four of them were waiting impatiently in Xiangshui Forest, a burst of singing and the slow sound of horse hooves reached their ears, and they immediately cheered up.
The four of them listened carefully, and there was no doubt that the person coming was Li Ke. At this time, Li Ke had not noticed anything unusual. He was singing and drinking, and he was riding on horseback carelessly.
Entering the Xiangshui Forest, as expected, the forest lives up to its name, and the sound of running water can be heard all the time. The forest is divided into two parts, separated by the Xiangshui River. You can enter the Xiangshui Forest after leaving Xiaoheng Mountain. You have to keep walking upstream along the river until you reach the Xiangshui Forest. When you see a wooden bridge, you can cross the Xiangshui River. After crossing the river, you can travel four or five miles to Xiangshui Town.
Li Ke looked at the forest in front of him, with the sound of running water. The trees were tall and straight, dense and lush, as if they were blocking the sky. There was very little sunlight and it was difficult to shine on the ground. It really felt cold. Li Ke Zhuma looked around curiously, and suddenly found that something was not normal. Normally, in such a large forest, there should be some birds and animals, but at this moment, except for the sound of water, there was no other movement.
Just when Li Ke was about to start his horse, four wooden sticks with sharp ends came from all directions and flew directly at Li Ke. Fortunately, Li Ke was agile and dismounted in an instant to avoid the attack of the wooden sticks. But when Li Ke looked around, nothing was out of the ordinary. Li Ke thought it was a trap for hunters, but he got a little more energetic. He didn't dare to get on the horse again, so he turned around and led the horse forward carefully.
After walking a few steps, I heard a "hoo" sound, and an ax flew out of the forest in front of me. The ax seemed to be carrying a strong wind. Where it passed, the leaves were rustled, and the ax was thrown. It seems that the inner strength of a person should not be underestimated. I saw the ax flying rapidly towards the center of the road directly in front of Li Ke, smashing a hole as big as a millstone into the road. The ax blade penetrated deeply into the soil and remained motionless.
Li Ke thought about the people who were good at using axes in the world, and he had some clues in his mind. Just when the names of the three heroes of the Tu clan came up, as expected, someone in the forest shouted loudly, and from the dense bushes Mid-jump will come out and land next to the axe.
The man slowly took off his black cloak, revealing his strong muscles. He bowed down with a strong back and pulled up the ax on the ground. He looked at Li Ke with vicious eyes, revealing a cold murderous intention. This man was Tu No rest.
Li Ke was not surprised and said: "Where are the other two? Show up together. They are the three notorious heroes of the Tu clan in the world. There is no need to hide."
The shadows of the trees on both sides swayed, and two more people walked out of the forest. These two people appeared without the same movement as Tu Wuxiu. The two people also covered their bodies with cloaks, only revealing a pair of fierce eyes, and slowly walked forward to Tu Wuxiu. Beside him, he also took off his cloak, revealing his true face. At this time, all three of them were covered in flesh. The beards on their faces were messy, and there were a few faint scars. The three of them looked similar, but they could be distinguished by their weapons. As for human status, the scimitar is invincible, the two spears are fearless, and the ax is endless. These are the three heroes of the earth clan.
When Li Ke saw the three people gathered together, he was surprised: "I have never had any enmity with the three of you, right? Why are you blocking my way today?"
Tu Wudi was also happy: "Three of my brothers killed people, and they never needed a reason. They only needed money, and they would work for whoever gave them money. Since someone paid to kill you, you can't blame me for waiting." After that, he was about to go up. Ask for your life.
"Wait a minute! Since I'm already in your pocket, you might as well let me die clearly. Can you tell me who is asking for my life?" Li Ke seemed to be panicked but actually asked indifferently, because he had already thought that except for the Tian family, he had not offended anyone. Who passed.
Tu Wuwei's face darkened, he pulled out his two spears and flew up to him, saying: "The dying man is so verbose, go down to the underworld and ask the King of Hell." In a blink of an eye, he was in front of Li Ke, and he stabbed him wildly. Xiu Kuangchao, thinking that Li Ke would definitely die under his own ghost fire short spear, but he did not expect that Li Ke dodged them one by one.
Tu Wu was not afraid of being angry, so he became serious and no longer underestimated the Li Ke in front of him. He made some preparations and was about to use his famous stunt "Shadowless Fire Spear". After mastering this skill, he killed countless masters in the world. I guess Li Ke would not be able to escape death. Tu Wudi and Tu Wuxiu on the side also thought that since the shadowless guns were all used, they could just stand aside and watch the show.
Tu Wuwei crossed his two spears in front of him and prepared a move. He suddenly exerted force on his feet and stabbed his body. The two spears were played rapidly in his hands, as if they were on fire. The speed was so fast that it was impossible to see the true shape, and every stabbing It's all there and there, and you can't tell the difference between reality and reality. If you don't pay attention, there will be a few more holes in your body.
After dodging, Li Ke did not dare to be careless, flew out of his horse, drew his sword, and fought with Tu Wuwei. With the long sword in hand, Li Ke seemed to be a different person. His figure and moves were extremely elegant. The sword energy scattered during the fight broke the tree trunks on both sides. Tu Wuwei knew that he was about to be unable to withstand Li Ke's long sword, so he hurriedly He shouted: "Eldest brother, third brother, come and help me." It was at this moment of distraction that Li Ke saw the opportunity. His sword was like a swimming dragon, and he stabbed between the two short spears. The sword body penetrated instantly. Tou Tu Wuwei's arm, if Tu Wuwei hadn't dodged quickly, the sword would have passed through his chest long ago.
Before the other two people had time to react, Tu Wuwei screamed and fell to the ground, covering his arms and looking at Li Ke in front of him in horror. Tu Wuwei also seemed to recognize that the sword technique used by Li Ke was "Yunxu Sword" "Dharma" is the unique skill of Qingniu Mountain's dust suppressing Taoist. Tu Wudi and Tu Wuxiu also came to their senses and flew to protect Tu Wuwei.
"Brother and third brother, be careful. The swordsmanship used by this boy is not simple. It is like the Yunxu swordsmanship that has been dormant for many years. It is extremely sharp." Tu Wuwei reminded urgently.
"No matter what bullshit swordsmanship he has, it's all bullshit in front of my absolute power." Tu Wuxiu said loudly.
The words fell and the offensive began. Tu Wuxiu rolled up on the ground with an ax to attack the lower plate, Tu Wuwei held a scimitar in his hand to attack the upper part. The two of them had a clear division of labor. Suddenly, smoke and dust were everywhere, and the collision of weapons echoed in the forest. Seeing that Li Ke was not losing any ground under the attack of the two men, and was able to do so with ease, he was shocked in his heart: "This time I really hit a fucking iron plate."
Tu Wudi's "Whirlwind Beheading Knife" and Tu Wuxiu's "Barbarian Soul-Severing Ax" are also terrifying existences in the world, but today they were eliminated one by one by Li Ke. Tu Wuwei saw that the situation was not right, regardless of the injured person. He threw a gun at his arm and stepped forward to attack with another gun in one hand. For a moment, the four of them were fighting together, making it difficult to tell the difference.
When Li Ke saw the three of them coming forward, he stopped holding back. Tu Wuxiu's ax was about to hit Li Ke's chest. Li Ke jumped up, then fell rapidly, and used the same move against Jin Hu. Tian Yong, who was hiding in the distance, could see it clearly, but this Tu Wuxiu was not as crispy as Jin Hu. Li Ke fell down and his toes were just standing on Tu Wuxiu's axe. This feeling of pressure surprised Tu Wuxiu and he did not dare to release his force. He knew that if he suddenly released his force, Without strength, this arm was considered useless, so he held Li Ke like this, unable to move.
Tu Wudi attacked with a sword, Li Ke stood on the ax and fought back, Tu Wuwei also attacked, Li Ke swung his sword in the flash of lightning, the powerful sword energy knocked down Tu Wuwei's short spear, and then swung out With a strike of the sword, Tu Wuwei's gun-holding arm fell in response, and he immediately fell to the ground and passed out. Tu Wudi was furious, and he slashed at it violently, but Li Ke caught the flaw, stepped on the ax lightly with his toes, jumped into the air, spun around above Tu Wudi's head, and stabbed straight down with the long sword from the back of his neck. Stabbed into Tu Wudi's body, Tu Wudi died immediately.
Tu Wuxiu, who had just breathed his last breath, saw that his eldest brother was dead and his second brother was deposed. He rushed towards Li Ke like crazy with an ax in his hand. He only saw Li Ke and had no intention of defending. Li Ke did not hesitate and struck out with his sword. The Qi directly divided the ground into two pieces, and Tu Wuxiu naturally did the same, without even leaving a chance to cry out.
When Tian Yong, who was hiding far away, saw this, he seemed to have seen a ghost and made a slight movement without paying attention. Li Ke swung his sword towards the sound, and saw that the tree trunks blocking Tian Yong fell neatly, and Tian Yong walked out tremblingly, shouting for mercy.
Li Ke signaled Tian Yong to come over. How dare Tian Yong disobey at this time? He walked to Li Ke with his body twisted.
"Tian Yong, I knew it was your Tian family who wanted revenge. It's up to you whether you want to live or die today." Li Ke spoke sharply to Tian Yong.
Tian Yong shook himself into a ball of pork belly and replied with a trembling voice: "Brother Li Ke, you don't remember the faults of villains, so please spare me this time. I promise not to cause trouble to the Li family again in the future."
"In this case, I will spare your life today because of the long-term relationship between the Li and Tian families. However, if you leak even a word about what happened today, when I return to Jinyang City in the future, I will definitely come to the Tian family to take your life. Just like this stone." After Li Ke finished speaking, he swung his sword towards a huge stone, and saw that the huge stone split into two halves instantly, with neat and smooth cuts.
Seeing this, Tian Yong vowed to agree, and asked: "Then how should I explain today's events to my father at home? It's not easy for him to prevaricate."
"Just say you're late, Li Ke has already disappeared without a trace, and it's up to you to make up the affairs of these three people." Li Ke pretended to smile evilly. After saying that, he flew onto his horse, put away his sword and galloped away.
Tian Yong sat there blankly, stunned that he had not recovered, or Tu Wuwei's wailing after waking up woke him up. Tian Yong couldn't help but feel scared when he saw that Tu Wuwei's hands were disabled and the other two people died on the spot.
"Master Tian, save me! Save me!" Tu Wuwei shouted in pain.
Tian Yong stood up and walked over, squatted down and said to Tu Wuwei: "I will save you right now." He turned around and picked up the short gun on the ground and shot Tu Wuwei's life.
"If I kill you, this matter will not be leaked. Only if you die can I live in peace of mind." Tian Yong said with vicious eyes to Tu Wuwei, who had already passed away. Then he took the horse out of the forest as if he had lost his soul. He quickly returned to Jinyang City.
