Evergreen Immortal..

Chapter 229: Kill the Rakshasa with a Knife, Don't Chase the Enemy (Two in One)
Willow Lane, in a big house.

late at night.

One candle, two silhouettes.

"What, Dao Mo is here?"

Qi Yu's face was not looking good at all. Dao Mo was a fifth-rank master. They originally thought that he would take at least half a year to come back to Qinghe, but they didn't expect him to come back three months earlier.

"No, let's do it in advance."

There was a fierce look in Liu Jiaoniang's eyes.

Of course, the two of them stayed in Qinghe not to lead a married life.

Collecting information is one of them.

The second is to plan a disturbance at the Municipal Trade Bureau market. Even if the market cannot be disrupted, stopping it for a few months would be enough.

Neither the Qi family in Southern Xinjiang nor the Ghost Cult wanted to see the market grow, so the best way was to create chaos and scare the merchants from the Yu State away.

Moreover, the war is about to start in Wu Kingdom, and cutting off the gold and silver trade will definitely make the new emperor of Wu Kingdom very uncomfortable.

"Okay, we'll take action in three days."

Qi Yu gritted his teeth.

Originally there were still many things that had not been completed, but now Dao Mo's appearance had disrupted the plan, so he had to expose himself in advance, otherwise if Dao Mo found him, all would be lost.

Dao Mo is a fifth-rank master, and he lives in the Municipal Trade Bureau. The means they have worked so hard to arrange are at risk of being discovered at any time.

The longer the world is delayed, the more dangerous it becomes.

"By the way, you haven't killed that man yet?"

Qi Yu stared at Liu Jiaoniang.

Liu Jiaoniang snorted coldly: "He will die tonight."

The man Qi Yu was talking about was the man named He Shan.

Her poison did not kill He Shan, but He Shan ended up looking for her all over the world like crazy, and now he even chased her to Qinghe. Once, he almost found He Shan in Willow Lane.

Qi Yu already knew about He Shan's existence.

"It's time for closure."

The corners of Liu Jiaoniang's thin mouth turned up, making her look even more vicious and filled with murderous intent.

This day.

There was a knock on the courtyard door.

Li Rui put down the notes in his hand, stood up and opened the door.

As a result, I saw a disciple of the Tiandi Alliance standing at the door.

"Leader Li."

The disciple bowed respectfully.

Li Rui is now the grand leader of the Tiandi Alliance, and disciples of the Tiandi Alliance often come to deliver messages.

"Go ahead."

He spoke calmly.

The disciple of the Tiandi League bowed and said, "It's Mr. He who lives in the League. The League Master asked me to keep an eye on him, but he hasn't left the house for many days. I think something is wrong, so I came to report it to the League Master."

Li Rui raised his eyebrows slightly.

He arranged He Shan to join the Tiandi Alliance.

He Shan goes out during the day every day and does not return until late at night.

During this period, Li Rui also visited He Shan several times.

According to He Shan, he was looking for Liu Jiaoniang.

Once a person is willing to give up even his own life, he will burst out with unimaginable energy.

"it is good."

Li Rui nodded.

Ride on the magic horse and gallop all the way.

A moment later, he crossed half of the city and arrived at the Tiandi Alliance. As the leader of the alliance, the disciples guarding the gate naturally recognized him and did not dare to stop him.

Soon.

He came to his former residence in the Tiandi Alliance.

Boom, boom, boom.

Half an hour passed.

No one opened the door.

Li Rui frowned and looked at the young disciple of the Tiandi League who followed him: "He is not in the house?"

The disciple of the Tiandi League scratched his head in confusion:
"That's not right. I'm watching at the door every day. I dare not slack off for the slightest. Mr. He should not have left the house."

Li Rui understood.

He Shan should have left the Tiandi Alliance.

He didn't blame the disciple of the Tiandi Alliance.

After all, the difference between their realms is too great. If He Shan intends to conceal his whereabouts, the disciples of the Tiandi Alliance will never be able to detect it.

He took a step, floated over the high wall and landed in the yard.

Look around.

Soon, he saw the letter paper pressed by stones on the stone table.

"Brother Li, I have found that witch. Everything was caused by my wife. As a husband, I should take revenge. I have implicated you once, so I should not involve you in danger again. So I am leaving without saying goodbye. He Shanzi."

Li Rui looked at the contents on the letter.

Sigh.

In fact, He Shan was the one implicated.

If Liu Jiaoniang didn't want to regain her fairy spirit, she wouldn't have let Mei Nu set up the trap.

Li Rui rubbed his eyebrows:
“Cause and effect are hard to determine.”

Late at night, dark alley.

He Shan was wearing a conical hat, his long sword was already unsheathed, and his steps were getting faster and faster.

Ten feet.

This is the distance between him and revenge.

"Thousand-Faced Rakshasa, it is time to settle all causes and effects."

The knuckles of his fingers holding the knife turned pale and his breathing became disordered.

Can't be calm.

There is no peace at all.

Suddenly.

A light breeze blew up from the ground, and in the blink of an eye, a charming woman appeared before him. In contrast to her fiery figure was the coldness in her eyes.

"It seems that Xiaojiu has a good eye for choosing men. You actually managed to chase him here."

"Xiaojiu?"

He Shan frowned.

'Is this Xiaolan's real name?'

He took a deep breath and stared at the woman in front of him.

For so many nights, he dreamed of finding it.

"Tell me, why did you kill her?"

He Shan asked the questions that were in his heart.

Looking at He Shan's appearance, Liu Jiaoniang laughed out loud: "Why kill her?"

"Because she deserves to be killed!"

In an instant, Liu Jiaoniang's eyes became extremely cold.

"A lowly charm slave who has no sense of propriety, shouldn't he die?"

'Charm slave?'

There was a flash of confusion in He Shan's eyes.

Things seemed to be different from what he had imagined.

"How could Xiaolan be a charm slave?"

He had been tracking for such a long time, even risking his life to ask a fortune teller to predict the future, before he found Liu Jiaoniang.

Of course I know what Mei Nu means.

After the confusion came endless anger, and He Shan's eyes turned red in an instant.

"No, that's not right!"

"You lied to me, don't even think about disturbing my mind, die!"

The long sword swung in a circle and slashed towards Liu Jiaoniang.

Liu Jiaoniang twisted her waist and easily dodged He Shan's knife, sneering: "Okay, I'll send you down to see her. When you meet her, ask her yourself."

The boneless hands pushed forward.

It seems to have a force of ten thousand pounds.

puff.
He Shan's chest caved in with a degree visible to the naked eye, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

He flew backwards several feet and hit the courtyard wall, bleeding profusely, his face as pale as gold paper.

Looking at Liu Jiaoniang's palm again, it had turned into a hideous ghost claw.

"Evil God's Law!"

He Shan's pupils shrank suddenly.

After just a few moves, he was defeated.

The corners of his mouth were full of bitterness.

Liu Jiaoniang looked at the man in front of her with sarcasm: "You really think that you have the qualifications to kill me with just a blood-breaking technique? You are dreaming!"

She slowly raised her right hand.

He planned to kill He Shan, then join forces with Qi Yu to start a riot and leave Qinghe.

By then, the sky will be high and the earth will be vast, who can find her?

"go to hell."

Hearing Liu Jiaoniang's gentle scolding, He Shan closed his eyes.

I have accepted my fate.

But he waited for a long time and still did not receive Liu Jiaoniang's palm, so he slowly opened his eyes.

He saw Liu Jiaoniang's right palm hovering one foot away from his head, looking behind him with a look of fear.

Turn your head.

"Brother Li?" He Shan's pupils widened as he looked at the old man standing next to him and murmured.

Li Rui looked expressionless as an iceberg, looking down at He Shan on the ground: "Brother He, you won't die, right?"

He Shan grinned.

It hurts.

"Not dead yet."

"That's fine."

Li Rui nodded, then raised his head and looked at Liu Jiaoniang, sighing softly: "It's time to end it."

Liu Jiaoniang stared at Li Rui.

For some reason, she felt like retreating.

The old man in front of him seemed like an endless abyss, making it impossible to see clearly.

She had been keeping an eye on Li Rui in Qinghe for a long time, but had never taken any action.

In addition to Li Rui's identity as a captain of the Ministry of Commerce, it was also because she couldn't see through this little old man.

The twelve blood disciples are all butchers.

As a butcher, she instinctively didn't dare to attack a prey she couldn't see clearly.

"who are you?"

Liu Jiaoniang spoke slowly.

She always felt that the old man in front of her was hiding his identity.

Li Rui chuckled:

"I?"

"Li Rui."

All of a sudden!
The dazzling sword light illuminated the darkness and became the only light in Liu Jiaoniang's eyes.

"Forehead"

A streak of blood slowly appeared on Liu Jiaoniang's forehead, her eyes lost their luster, and her pupils began to dilate.

one move!
The blood-red spread in the sight, and finally the dark night turned into blood-red.

"How can he be so strong?"

Liu Jiaonian looked at Li Rui in disbelief. She didn't even have the chance to fight back until her death.

That knife was really too fast.

He Shan stared with wide eyes at the beautiful corpse lying on the ground.

"The Twelve Blood Disciples and the Thousand-Faced Rakshasa, just died like that?"

He felt something was unreal.

Look up again.

Li Rui put away the knife and said to He Shan calmly: "Brother He, I know you have a lot of questions in your mind, but now is not the time to explain. Tomorrow, I will tell you everything. It will soon become very dangerous here. Let's leave."

He Shan stood up with difficulty.

He looked at Li Rui deeply.

Obviously.

What happened to him was far from what he had imagined.

Li Rui's strength is far more terrifying than he imagined.

They all used knives, and he knew very well how powerful Li Rui's knife was. Seriously, in Anning Prefecture, no one could compare with Li Rui in terms of knife skills alone.

An Ning’s first knife.

Li Rui, the powerful slave, felt powerless about everything.

Then came endless confusion.

Finally, he took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you."

After saying this, as if his last bit of strength had been drained away, he dragged the knife and walked step by step deeper into the alley.

In the big house.

"Why is that woman so slow?"

Qi Yu raised his head.

Looking at the sky, it was almost midnight and Liu Jiaoniang had been out for a full hour.

"Did he fall into the gutter?"

Qi Yu's eyes turned gloomy.

He didn't care whether Liu Jiaoniang lived or died, but if Liu Jiaoniang delayed or even leaked tonight's operation because of this, he would drag that woman out and whip her corpse with his own hands.

Qi Yu thought for a long time and finally gritted his teeth.

"Ah Hu, take him there and take a look. When midnight comes, start on time."

"it is good!"

A burly man who looked like a servant answered at the door, and then there was the sound of footsteps.

Qi Yu looked at the sky again, looking even more anxious.

Less than a quarter of an hour had passed.

He could no longer suppress his anxiety and strode out of the room.

But just as his right foot stepped out of the door.

There was a loud noise of wood breaking coming from the direction of the courtyard gate.

The servant Ah Hu, who had already gone out, was kicked into the yard like a sandbag, rolled twice on the ground, and landed right at Qi Yu's feet.

The corner of Qi Yu's eyes twitched as he stared at the old man who strode in from the broken courtyard gate.

"Li Rui!"

He spat out two words from between his teeth.

I never expected that Li Rui would appear here.

Li Rui looked at Qi Yu with a smile: "An Ning Guard will handle the case. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed on the spot!"

Say it.

A group of people filed in from behind him.

Among them, there are even a few people from Wu country.

Qi Yu looked at the people in front of him and felt a little relieved.

At least Dao Mo didn't come in person.

He was still in the disguise of Liu Jiaoniang. Holding on to the last bit of luck, he smiled and said, "My lords, what's going on? We are good citizens."

He trotted up to Li Rui and cried out for justice.

Li Rui looked at him with a half-smile:

"Injustice?"

"There are three seventh-rank guards in one courtyard, and none of them reported to the An Ning Guards. You say you are wronged?"

Hear the words.

Qi Yu heaved a sigh of relief: "Sir, I don't know the rules."

As he spoke, he took out a small box from his arms and stuffed it into Li Rui's hand.

"This fifth-grade Qi-strengthening pill is not a token of respect, I hope you will accept it."

Li Rui handed the pill to him with a smile.

Qi Yu sneered in his heart: "The officials of Yu State are all of the same character, greedy and insatiable!"

He just wanted to get rid of Li Rui and his people as soon as possible.

Li Rui kindly reminded: "My dear brother, have you offended anyone? We just received a report from someone else, and it's all routine."

Qi Yu suddenly became furious and took out another pill.

"Sir, please tell me who is trying to frame me?"

Li Rui laughed:

"It's a woman, her name seems to be Liu Jiaoniang."

Liu Jiaoniang!
Hearing this name, Qi Yu could no longer conceal the murderous intent in his eyes.

"How dare you betray me, bitch."

'I knew that woman couldn't be trusted!'

He wished he could tear Liu Jiaoniang's tendons and bones apart and cut her body into pieces.

Qi Yu took out the last fifth-grade pill from his arms with a painful feeling and gave it to Li Rui with a smile.

Ask the last question:
"Sir, where is that woman now?"

Li Rui smiled and took all the fifth-grade pills without showing any emotion. He carefully arranged his bulging robe and said nonchalantly:
"already dead?"

Qi Yu's pupils shrank suddenly, and he couldn't help but exclaimed: "What?"

Li Rui was very business-minded and kindly added, "Yes, I killed him."

Before Qi Yu could make any move.

The corners of his mouth raised:
"It's almost time."

Qi Yu was confused by this incoherent sentence.

"The hour?"

"What time?"

Li Rui had no choice but to kindly remind him: "Brother Qi, Dao Mo has almost killed everyone at the Municipal Trade Bureau. You'd better run away quickly. If you are late, you won't be able to escape."

Qi Yu was shocked beyond words.

He finally understood.

Why is it that it is already midnight, but the people lying in ambush at the Municipal Trade Bureau have not made any movement?

It turned out that Dao Mo had already taken action in advance.

"grass!"

Qi Yu was furious. He suddenly drew the sword from his waist, trying to fight his way out and escape.

Not only did Li Rui not stop him, he was even considerate enough to make way for Qi Yu.

Qi Yu rushed out of the house with almost no effort and disappeared into the dark alley.

Tan Hu wanted to chase after him, but it was too late.

He said to Li Rui in annoyance: "Brother Li, why didn't you stop me?"

Li Rui said calmly:
"Huzi, haven't you heard a saying?"

"Don't chase poor bandits."
