Chapter 129 128 Way out
Li Cunxiao looked at the man in front of him. From the appearance, he was unremarkable.

Looking closely at his hands, there are no calluses from practicing with weapons.

"Three bowls of sour plum soup, please."

After shouting from a few dozen steps away, Li Cunxiao slowly dismounted and walked over.

"okay!"

Zhang Huai gave a fake smile, deftly took out three large coarse porcelain bowls, and poured sour plum soup from the bucket.

This wooden barrel is cleverly designed, with a compartment at the bottom filled with ice cubes. When the sour plum soup is poured out, water droplets are still dripping from the outside of the coarse porcelain bowl.

"How much does it cost to make a bucket like this?"

Li Cunxiao took a few steps closer, and Zhang Huai was delighted. He took the bowl in his right hand and reached for the knife under the stall with his left hand.

But Li Cunxiao did not take the sour plum soup. Instead, he walked around a few steps and pointed at the wooden barrel and asked questions.

Zhang Huai's face froze. "These are trivial matters that are not worth asking about."

He is not the kind of killer who lurks patiently and dresses cleverly. These guys just robbed them on the road. Who knows how much they are worth?

"Oh my god, the more you ask, the more holes you'll find. Just do it!"

Anyway, the target was right in front of him, so Zhang Huai didn't bother to pretend anymore. With a fierce gleam in his eyes, he splashed the sour plum soup in his right hand towards Li Cunxiao's face.

Unexpectedly, the latter seemed to have anticipated this and took the initiative to kick the two buckets of sour plum soup on the ground, causing them to burst.

In the mist, two silver lights suddenly appeared, like a dragon emerging from the water, but Li Cunxiao's body movement was even more amazing. With a few light steps, he retreated two or three feet and protected Ye Chengxiao and Zhang Yuelu behind him.

"You're a killer after all. I just asked a question, and you don't even have this much patience?"

Seeing the faint smile on the other person's face and the amazing skills he had just displayed, Zhang Huai's face became solemn.

"Have you seen it a long time ago?"

"Who told you to keep staring at the three of us? Your gaze is like a needle piercing our chests. It's hard not to notice it."

Li Cunxiao drew out the Dragon Sparrow Sword with ease, and his green eyes shone with brilliance.

The four internal organs were fully tempered and the ears were also opened.

The combination of vision, smell, hearing and touch gives him a more acute perception.

I originally wanted to see what methods the killer from the state capital had, but I didn't expect that the other party had no patience at all.

Once you lie, you'll be exposed.

"So what if you found out? I still want it."

Zhang Huai showed a fierce look, with a faint light in his eyes. He actually used the liver wood energy as the main energy to temper the five internal organs.

Under the urging, the man's figure accelerated instantly, but his footsteps were erratic, and combined with the two swords dancing in his hands, he became even more unpredictable.

I don't know who cut out the thin leaves, the spring breeze in February is like scissors.

The lancet is not like a leaf but like a spring breeze, taking people's lives silently!

"What a courageous dog!"

"Dare to hurt my nephew, I want you"

There was a loud bang like thunder. Ye Chengxiao and Zhang Yuelu were shocked at first, but then they found that Li Cunxiao did not open his mouth.

The latter had a strange look on his face. He saw a plump middle-aged man suddenly burst out from a carriage on the official road not far away, with yellow energy shining on his body.

The ochre-colored true energy permeated the air and condensed in his hands, ready to burst out.

"Uncle Yuanhua?"

"Huang Ting master?!"

The two men exclaimed, Zhang Huai's face changed, and he cursed the whole family of the employer who placed the order in his heart.

Damn it, why didn't you mention that the target was protected by a fourth-level expert?!
Of the thirty-six strategies, running away is the best one. Retreat!

The murderous spring breeze suddenly turned back, as hasty and bleak as the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves.

But how could Li Cunxiao just watch the head slip away?

The surging liver wood essence poured into the Dragon Sparrow Sword, his eyes glowed with golden light, and a low tiger roar came from his body.

A two-meter-long crescent-shaped wind blade shot out, and Zhang Huai raised his sword in horror to block it.

However, Li Cunxiao had been accumulating strength for a long time and slashed out more than a dozen sword auras in one breath.

Zhang Huai didn't even resist for three breaths. The blade shattered in an instant, and he flew backwards vomiting blood.

The hatred and shock in his eyes were too strong to be concealed.

"Is this muscle perfection? I'm going to enter you."

The knife flashed, and fine beads of blood oozed out from the cut line on the neck. The ferocious head still maintained a roaring posture, but the eyes had lost their luster.

The shadow of an avian demon sank into his body and was suppressed under the vajra.

".I want you to pay with your life."

Yuan Hua's shouts suddenly became low, and he stopped in front of Zhang Huai's body. He looked at the burly young man who sheathed his knife with shock and complexity in his eyes.

Is this the end?
What about the promise to save the situation at the critical moment?

You killed someone with perfect internal organs in less than ten breaths. Are you human?!
Li Cunxiao ignored the different expressions of the three people and exhaled a long, foul breath from his mouth.

Even though it seemed like he won easily just now, it actually didn't take much effort.

This battle seems to be a battle of great internal organs against perfect internal organs, but in fact it cannot be counted that way.

Ordinary internal organ warriors only have one demon to bless their body and internal organs.

But Li Cunxiao has eight demon heads in his body, covering his flesh, bones and blood. First of all, his body is stronger, and his blood, qi and essence are more abundant.

Liver, heart, spleen, lungs, and kidneys. Except for the last one which is not yet completed, the first four organs each have a demon.

With this as a basis, and then driving the magic treasure like the Dragon Sparrow Sword, killing these unconventional warriors of the same level is as easy as killing chickens, isn't it normal?
"Master Nephew, you are truly a man of hidden talents."

After a brief moment of shock, joy quickly crept onto Yuanhua's cheeks.

He felt as if he knew who the senior's favorite candidate was.

Although being invincible at the same level and fighting against opponents of higher levels are not the only signs of a genius, if one cannot even do these two things, he is definitely not a genius!
Ye Chengxiao, Zhang Yuelu, and Yuan Hua all got to know and observe each other carefully, and concluded that they had good talent, but nothing special about them.

Especially now, Li Cunxiao casually killed people of the same level, even if he borrowed the magic treasure, but it was a remarkable thing in itself for him to be able to control the magic treasure at the level of his internal organs without being drained.

True Qi is formed by refining the essence of the human body. Li Cunxiao was able to wield the Dragon Sparrow Blade with ease by relying on his internal organs. Once he broke through the Huangting, the scene he would witness was simply unimaginable.

"I haven't thanked Uncle Master for his support yet. Uncle Master, will you please accompany us on the rest of the journey?"

"So good."

Li Cunxiao looked calm, as if he had only done something insignificant.

But Ye Chengxiao and Zhang Yuelu were a little numb, and rode their horses dully behind the carriage.

Mingzhu was just about to lift the curtain to invite his master in, but unexpectedly Yuanhua untied a horse and walked side by side with Li Cunxiao, chatting and laughing.

Mingzhu looked at the other lonely horse in a daze for a long time, and finally stood at the shaft of the carriage, walking towards the city gate with his head down.

"Cui Da, Cui Er, wait until Saburo and the others have established themselves in the temple. I want to reopen the Flying Tiger Escort Agency."

In the rented study in the courtyard, Zhang Lishi and the Cui brothers each sat on a chair, while Mrs. Zhang, with a big belly, was doing needlework beside them.

After ten months of pregnancy and with the baby about to be born, Zhang Lishi was very worried and could only feel at ease if his wife was under his nose.

I don’t know if it’s because I’m old, or because several of my apprentices haven’t come back for more than ten days, but Zhang Lishi feels like he’s become a lot more fussy.

"I also think the escort agency can be reopened," Cui Wei was the first to express his support.

"Dozens of brothers from the escort agency have brought their families to the state capital. We can't be without work forever."

"It's not a good idea to live off the savings."

Cui Yao nodded, "That's right." "But if we, outsiders, want to open an escort agency, I'm afraid we have to first worship a sect."

"It's easier to get things done if there are talented people above. If the three nephews can obtain the status of disciples of the entire Dharma Academy, this matter will be easier to handle."

"I'm afraid it's still difficult to get the identity of a disciple of Damo Academy," Zhang Lishi sighed.

Although Tiangu Temple is the only one in power, there are many troublesome little ghosts in the city because of the influence of this giant.

Everyone has some connection with Tiangu Temple, so now it depends on who has a stronger background.

Yuanhua is a snob, so please don't ask him for help once or twice;
Abbot De Zheng's help is limited to martial arts, and being able to have a servant position in Yaowang Hall is already a special favor.

"I never thought that after working so hard for most of my life, I would still have to rely on the younger generation."

Cui Wei gave a wry smile. What happened in the state capital reminded him of his days in the Weizhou vassal state.

Auxiliary soldiers are afraid of combat soldiers, combat soldiers are afraid of guard soldiers, and guard soldiers are afraid of the captains and generals above them.

In such cruel competition, only by standing at the highest position can you get a little sense of security.

"Having younger generations to rely on is a blessing earned through several lifetimes! Don't be ungrateful."

Cui Yao still looked carefree, but Mrs. Zhang coughed lightly when she heard what he said.

"I want to remind you that the escort agency's current expenses are funded by Sanlang, the money donated to him by the He family."

"When the escort agency reopens, let Sanlang take 30% of the shares."

Zhang Lishi made the decision immediately, and Mrs. Zhang hummed with satisfaction.

Financial matters were previously managed by Zhang Yuelu with the assistance of Zhang Lishi.

Now that her daughter has gone to Tiangu Temple, Mrs. Zhang has returned to her old job.

But she felt a little regretful in her heart, as she had hesitated before marrying her daughter to Li Cunxiao.

But now the Zhang family owes the other party a lot and cannot bring themselves to ask for it.

Now that we are in the state capital, there are so many wealthy and noble ladies.
If you miss the opportunity, you may never get a second one.

"And then there's Tiezi. Auntie told me he's been feeling down lately and needs something to do to keep his mind off his worries."

Mrs. Zhang reminded them again, and Zhang Lishi and the others naturally nodded in agreement, but the heavy stone in their hearts became even heavier.

"Captain Escort, Sanlang and the others are back!"

Shi Yifu knocked on the door and walked into the study with a happy look on his face. Zhang Lishi glanced at his masked face and smiled as well.

"I wrote to them before, asking them to come back when they are free, but I didn't expect it to be so soon."

"Walk."

Except for Madam Zhang who was supported by her second daughter and walked slowly at the back, the other four walked briskly. When they arrived at the yard, they saw that the three of them had been surrounded by the bodyguards in high spirits, as if they were celebrating a festival.

On the moon-white monk's robe, the gourd logo of Yaowangyuan is very eye-catching.

"Oh, Junior Brother Zhang, you've got a great disciple!"

Yuanhua smiled warmly and took the initiative to step forward and grab Zhang Lishi's arm, which made the latter quite confused.

Why is there always something happy every time we meet each other?
But after Yuanhua finished speaking, there was no further information. When Zhang Lishi asked about it, he just smiled mysteriously.

The three people over there were surrounded by the crowd and were also a little surprised.

They actually don't understand that in Tiangu Temple, menial work in the Yaowang Courtyard seems to be nothing.

But outside, in the state capital, there are three young talents from Tiangu Temple, which is such an encouraging thing for a group of people who have left their hometown.

To exaggerate a little, all the hopes of the escort agency for the future are placed on these three young men.

It's not that the escorts lack ambition. On the contrary, it's precisely because they've run into obstacles everywhere in the city that they understand that the difference between having a backer and not having one is really huge.

"Master, two uncles."

The three men stepped forward and greeted each of them one by one. At this time, Zhang Lishi put aside his doubts, smiled with relief, and asked about life in Tiangu Temple.

When Mrs. Zhang came out, Zhang Yuelu hurried to her mother's side, carefully supporting her waist and stomach.

A banquet was inevitable. After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill and the escorts had dispersed, Yuan Hua began to tell them what had happened during the journey.

"Someone hired a killer to murder Saburo and the others?!"

The wine glass in Zhang Lishi's hand was crushed to pieces with a bang, and his face instantly turned gloomy.

The Cui brothers and Shi Tie also looked unhappy.

I thought the three of them would be safe once they entered Tiangu Temple, but I didn't expect this incident to happen in the blink of an eye.

"Junior Brother Zhang, in my opinion, it's most likely that evil monk Yuanjue!"

"He harbored a grudge, but he didn't dare to retaliate openly, so he had no choice but to resort to such despicable means."

Yuanhua was an expert at putting on eye drops, and he put the blame on Yuanjue without hesitation.

No matter whether it is or not, since we can’t find anyone else, it must be true!

"Master, please calm down. It was thanks to Master and Senior Brother that I was given the Dragon Sparrow Knife that the man was unable to hurt me at all."

After hearing what Li Cunxiao said, everyone's attention was diverted again, and their worry and anger turned into looks like they were looking at a monster.

Killing people of the same level is as easy as killing a chicken. The opponent can be dealt with in less than ten breaths. Even if he has a magic treasure in his hand, this is still shocking.

"I remember when I fought Murong Bo and Ye Zhiqiu, even though I had the Dragon Sparrow Sword, I could only hold out for a short while."

Shi Tie's expression was particularly complicated. If he had possessed the fighting power of his junior brother at that time, he could have killed one person instantly, even if his energy was exhausted afterwards, he would have been much more relaxed.

Now that I have lost an arm,
Shi Tie's expression became even gloomier.

Li Cunxiao looked at the other person's empty left sleeve, and the one-eyed Shi Yifu behind him, who was also injured on the night of the breakout.

But at least the two of them were still alive. Because Gao Hu and Qian Yu were not the only ones who died in that melee.

The pride brought by defeating the opponent in seconds in the morning disappeared without a trace.

"Sanlang, good job," Zhang Lishi forced a smile, said a few words of encouragement, and finally looked at Yuanhua.

He suddenly stood up and bowed.

"Please take good care of these three juniors in the future. I will be grateful forever."

"useless!"

Yuanhua was startled and quickly supported him.

"Don't worry, junior brother. When your sister-in-law gives birth to the baby boy, she will come back to the temple in a few days. I will still be with you three junior nephews and will definitely take good care of him."

As he said this, he secretly glanced at Li Cunxiao.

After this incident, everyone lost interest and went their separate ways.

At night, Mrs. Zhang lay in the master bedroom, trying to comfort her husband, but the latter just smiled and used massage to help his wife clear her qi and blood circulation.

Amidst the warmth, the former quickly felt sleepy and fell into a deep sleep.

The latter was lying on the floor next to the big bed, staring at the beams, unable to close his eyes.

Since returning to Songzhou, apart from the care of Abbot De Zheng, Zhang Lishi has been met with setbacks one after another.

In the past, he was the one who had the final say in Chuqiu, but here, he has to keep a low profile.

Unspeakable sadness filled his heart, but as an elder, as the chief escort, as a father and a master, he was more filled with a sense of responsibility, which drove him to find a way out for everyone.

There is only one answer.

"Tomorrow, let Sanlang and Yuelu accompany the lady."

“I want to go to Pingdingshan again!”
