Gu Long's World: Starting with the Legend of Chu Liuxiang

The man looked quite old and was very unkempt. He was holding a bottle of wine, and his long beard was covered in wine droplets.

Could such a person also have a relationship with Long Xiaoyun?

The drunkard, half-drunk and half-awake, walked out, patted Long Xiaoyun on the shoulder, and said loudly, "Fourth Master Long, you've finally come! I haven't seen you for two months. I thought you'd been scared away by that Li Xunhuan."

Long Xiaoyun's eyes were filled with terror, but he couldn't utter a single word.

This man didn't care whether Long Xiaoyun responded or not, and continued to say cheerfully, "Since Fourth Master hasn't been sending me any money, I haven't even been able to afford wine lately."

Long Xiaoyun's eyes darted around, wishing he could tell this person to shut up immediately.

The drunkard mumbled, "Why aren't you saying anything?"

He searched Long Xiaoyun's body again and exclaimed, "Where's the money? Why isn't there any money? Aren't you afraid I'll expose what happened back then? My worthless life is not worth cherishing, but Fourth Master Long is still living a life of luxury, occupying someone else's house and marrying someone else's mistress. He's living the high life."

The drunkard was still rambling on.

Hidden in the shadows, Li Xunhuan's eyes were filled with confusion. He recognized this person, this person who should have died, this person who should have died at the hands of Long Xiaoyun.

Jiang Fengyue sighed, "Don't you understand? These two not only have no enmity, but they also seem to know each other very well."

"Check-in!"

"Sign-in successfully, gained two years of internal energy."

Li Xunhuan said, "I..."

He walked into the light, his face showing disbelief.

Upon seeing Li Xunhuan, Bu Ba dropped the wine jug from his hand and stammered, "Li... Li Xunhuan..."

Startled, he sobered up and turned to run away.

But suddenly a hand appeared on his shoulder, one hand pressing down on him tightly, and then another hand pressed several acupoints on his body, rendering him unable to move.

The person who applied the acupressure was naturally Jiang Fengyue.

Jiang Fengyue ran to Long Xiaoyun's side again, gently patted him, and released Long Xiaoyun's speech acupoint.

Li Xunhuan stared blankly at Long Xiaoyun, muttering, "Brother Long, what's going on?"

Long Xiaoyun angrily cursed at Bu Ba, "What nonsense are you spouting? I never thought that the shot I fired back then wouldn't kill you, and you managed to escape by sheer luck."

Bu Ba stammered in terror, "You...you...you..."

Jiang Fengyue smiled at him and said calmly, "He's treated you like this, aren't you going to tell us what happened back then?"

Bu Ba stammered, "I'll talk, I'll talk, please don't kill me."

He pointed at Long Xiaoyun and shouted, "It's all his fault! He planned all of this! Back then, he was the one who invited the Three Fiends of Guanzhong to ambush Li Xunhuan on the road."

Li Xunhuan was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Long Xiaoyun and exclaimed, "Brother Long...you..."

Long Xiaoyun's eyes darted away, not daring to meet Li Xunhuan's gaze, but he still weakly tried to explain, "Xunhuan, don't listen to his nonsense..."

Bu Ba said viciously, "I'm not lying, it was him. He not only harmed Li Tanhua, but also harmed us, the Three Fiends of the Pass. He didn't tell us beforehand how strong Li Tanhua's martial arts were, which caused more than half of our brothers to be killed."

He stared intently at Long Xiaoyun and said, "Originally, I was also going to die from that spear of his back then, and be silenced by him. It's just a pity that his kung fu wasn't up to par. With that silver spear and candle-shaped tip, he couldn't kill me at all."

He continued, "Later, I used this secret to ask him for the reward I was owed."

Long Xiaoyun shouted, "If that's the case, why can't I just kill you!"

Bu Ba sneered, "Because if I die, some of my surviving brothers will know the news of my death and immediately reveal this secret to the public."

Looking at Li Xunhuan's pained face, Long Xiaoyun forced a smile and said, "Brother, we've been friends for over ten years. You don't really believe what this villain is saying, do you?"

Li Xunhuan remained silent; the facts were right in front of him, leaving him no choice but to believe them.

He began to regret it, regretting why he had given Lin Shiyin away so easily, and why he had given away the mansion that had belonged to three generations of his Li family.

He gave a bitter laugh.

Knowing that there was no way to turn the tide, Long Xiaoyun couldn't help but roar at Bu Ba, "You good-for-nothing, you drunkard! If you hadn't squandered all your money on drinking and gambling, and hadn't lived in this kind of place where I had to send you money every month, we wouldn't be in this situation."

Bu Ba angrily cursed, "If you hadn't had this crooked idea back then, would I be living this life of hiding and running? Long Xiaoyun, I admire you. You are a true gentleman and a true hero. You actually came up with such despicable means to swindle other people's houses and wives."

Long Xiaoyun said, "You..."

They were about to argue further when Jiang Fengyue stepped forward and interrupted them, coldly saying, "Alright, don't you find yourselves noisy? Since you love to argue so much, the road to the underworld won't be too deserted."

Bu Ba cried out in shock, "Don't kill me... it's all Long Xiaoyun's fault..."

Jiang Fengyue struck out with her palm, and Bu Ba could no longer utter a single word.

Long Xiaoyun was still in shock when Jiang Fengyue appeared in front of him.

Just as they were about to make their move, someone was faster than Jiang Fengyue.

A throwing knife had been placed against Long Xiaoyun's throat!

Little Li Flying Dagger!

The throwing knife pierced his throat.

The sorrow on Li Xunhuan's face was gone, replaced by a spirited yet slightly angry expression.

Long Xiaoyun murmured, "Seeking pleasure... then Shiyin..."

Before he could finish speaking, his head lolled to the side, and he died.

Outside the dilapidated courtyard, there was a grave, and two people had died there.

The grave is naturally Long Xiaoyun's grave.

Jiang Fengyue sighed, "I really can't believe that after knowing all those things, you would still build a grave for him."

Li Xunhuan shook his head and said calmly, "No matter what, he and I used to call each other brothers."

This should have been the most unforgettable thing in his life.

Because of this incident, his life went from happiness to misfortune.

Jiang Fengyue sighed and said, "That's why I say someone like Li Tanhua is only suitable to be a friend, not a brother."

Li Xunhuan smiled slightly and said, "The friendship between gentlemen is as pure as water. Is this the principle you're trying to convey?"

Jiang Fengyue said, "Yes and no."

No matter if they are good or bad, those who are brothers to Li Xunhuan will not have a good ending in the end, simply because Li Xunhuan is too good to his brothers.

On the way back to Baoding, Jiang Fengyue suddenly asked, "Are you still going to go back to that little shop in the alley and drink all night long?"

Li Xunhuan shook his head and said, "No, I'm only worried about one person right now."

Jiang Fengyue smiled and said, "Lin Shiyin?"

Li Xunhuan shook his head again.

Jiang Fengyue asked, "Who is that?"

He suddenly seemed to realize something and said, "Could it be Tie Chuanjia? You have news of him?"

Li Xunhuan said in a deep voice, "It was because of the 'Eight Righteous Men of the Central Plains' that I fell into Hu Bugui's hands."
