Piercing the Heart [Sword Three]

"You take good care of everyone." Bai Shuangming gave a rare and serious compliment.

At first, he was a little worried that the Bai family would be affected, but when he saw that no one from the Qishan sect dared to provoke the Bai family, Bai Shuangming finally felt relieved.

"Thank you Fifth Brother for your compliment." Suppressing his excitement, Bai Shuang said expressionlessly.

As a Bai family member, it is necessary to have a serious face. No matter when and where, they must not forget to keep serious.

Fifth Brother broke in through the window suddenly. He was taking a nap, and he was a little scared at first, but after seeing the person coming, his dissatisfaction disappeared immediately, and only joy remained.

Bai Shuangming: "I will leave the Bai family to you, I am at ease."

"Shuangqing, let's arrange for everyone to leave tonight." A moment of calm does not mean a lifetime of calm, especially after Chen Mao comes back, he will definitely not let it go.

After all, he is the leader of a faction, there are people with reputation in the Jianghu, and the county magistrate can't detain him for too long.

"It's hard for you guys, I'm sorry." Bai Shuangming said looking out the window.

Bai Shuangqing was taken aback immediately, Fifth Brother was too wrong.

"Where is this?" Bai Shuangqing said quickly, "They are all from the Bai family. If we encountered Brother Wu, we would do the same."

Although they didn't know each other for a long time, seeing the way Fifth Brother got along with Mr. Tang, he understood that Fifth Brother really regarded him as a friend.

And fifth brother's friend is naturally also a friend of the Bai family.

Compared to other people with iceberg faces all the year round, Bai Shuangming still smiles a lot, especially when facing his own family, Bai Shuangming has never been stingy with smiling.

"Shuangming understands your thoughts." Bai Shuangming said, "After going down the mountain, find a foothold near where I live, so that we can take care of each other."

"Well..." Bai Shuangqing scratched her head and said expectantly, "I want to live with Fifth Brother."

Bai Shuangming refused without hesitation: "No, the place is not big enough."

In fact, each room is very spacious, enough for many people to live together, just squeeze.

Although Brother Tang may say that he dislikes it, but he loves to be lively and he will not push people away, but...

Thinking of the meals Brother Tang cooked, Bai Shuangming thought it would be better to let them go out to live.

It may be related to Brother Tang's ability. Many of the dishes he cooks can improve people's internal strength, but most of them are time-limited.

As a martial arts practitioner, Bai Shuangming still tends to lay a solid foundation and take his time. A sudden increase in internal strength can easily lead to a mental imbalance. The result of relying too much on external strength is definitely not a good thing for them.

Among all the people who have eaten Brother Tang's cooking, Brother Qi should be very aware of this, but Bailu and Qixi have no martial arts, so naturally they don't feel it at all. full meal.

Brother Yu and Brother Luo only had one meal and drank a lot of wine, so the strengthening effect might have disappeared before they realized it.

And it was time for him to discuss this issue with Brother Tang after he went back.

It should be good to buy another chef who sold himself to bury his father.

not to mention……

Thinking of Bailu and Qixi's small arms and legs, and thinking of the clothes of the brothers, Bai Shuangming's rare kindness burst out.

They are all from the Bai family, and no one knows who.

It has always been their creed that no one will wash it by themselves.

"Fifth brother..." Bai Shuangqing looked at Bai Shuangming aggrievedly, he was very sad to be rejected.

"At the Chuanxin family, negotiate with the Qishan faction." Ignoring Bai Shuangqing's aggrieved eyes, Bai Shuangming also put on an iceberg face, and ordered coldly.

Bai Shuangqing suddenly snorted dissatisfied.

In the end, why does the fifth brother not want to take over the Bai family? The fifth brother who only wants to practice swords by himself is too selfish.

Although Bai Shuangming was very low-key when he came, he didn't hide his whereabouts too much, so it was not surprising that he was blocked by people as soon as he got off Qishan.

At the foot of the mountain, Bai Shuangming also stopped walking when he saw the pink figure.

No longer heavy make-up, jewels and jewels, wishing to carry all the treasures on her body, today's Wan Lingxiang is very elegantly dressed, but still lively and playful.

Wearing a pink skirt showed her youthful vigor, and there was only a pearl hairpin on the cross bun, which swayed gently, making her every move pleasing to the eye.

Xu Shi's face is still not ready yet, Wan Lingxiang is covered with a veil today, and her brows and eyes are showing affection, such a dress can hide her hostility very well.

If Wan Lingxiang was like this when they first met, then Bai Shuangming would not have hated her so much.

Of course, if she is only a quiet lady, it would be best if she doesn't kill people casually!

When "Bai Lang" saw that Bai Shuangming didn't fly away immediately, Wan Lingxiang was so excited that she lost her composure. After she calmed down, she spoke again, "Long time no see."

My sister once wrote to her telling her that men like women who are gentle and understanding. It seems that she is right.

Sure enough, the beauty is only temporary, Bai Shuangming couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Is Miss Wan okay?" Bai Shuangming asked.

"Bai Lang..." Wan Lingxiang looked at Bai Shuangming obsessively, "Am I ugly now?" As she spoke, she touched her face.

Since the disfigurement, she has repeated this action countless times.

Bai Shuangming: "You cover it very tightly." Although it doesn't have the aesthetic feeling of holding a pipa half-covered, it still covers up all the scars.

Wan Lingxiang swayed slightly, and then she couldn't help but clenched her nails, and after a while, she let go.

The medicine given by the palace has obvious effects, but the skin on the face is delicate, so it will take some time to fully recover.

Soon, she'll be able to shed the damn veil.

"Miss Wan?" Bai Shuangming interrupted Wan Lingxiang's meditation.

"Bai Lang, if I don't bother Tang Chenxing anymore." Wan Lingxiang said firmly, "Can you stop competing with Zheng Yi?"

She can't forget, she can't forget the astonishment of Bai Shuangming's defeat of Sword Immortal, standing in the crowd, seeing Bai Shuangming's unrestrained posture, her hesitant heart suddenly became firmer.

This man is destined to be hers.

Wan Lingxiang was looking forward to the battle between Bai Shuangming and Zheng Yi. She wanted to see the figure of Bai Shuangming wielding a sword and feel the throbbing of the heart again. But a sparring of swordsmen could turn out to be a life-and-death situation.

She didn't believe that Zheng Yi was stronger than Bai Shuangming, but after hearing that Bai Shuangming and Zheng Yi had said that they looked forward to each other, Wan Lingxiang, who knew Bai Shuangming to a certain extent, couldn't sit still anymore.

Bai Shuangming: "..."

Between the two, is there any connection?

"Farewell." After speaking, Bai Shuangming flew away lightly.

"Bai Lang!!!" Seeing his sweetheart fly away again, Wan Lingxiang couldn't help sobbing softly.

She must not let Bai Lang have trouble!

******

"Madame's illness..." After taking the pulse, the old doctor shook his head and sighed.

Li Tang only felt that his whole body was so cold that he wanted to shiver.

"Is there any help?" Li Tang swallowed his saliva and asked resolutely, the place is so blocked now that it hurts.

The feeling of only seeing her die was so upsetting.

In the Ying Dynasty, Li Tang didn't know many people, and those who had goodwill towards him were even rarer.

So Li Tang will firmly remember and cherish everyone who treats him well.

The doctor shook his head.

"It's already a flashback." Li Cuiniang smiled.

She was used to being announced that her days were numbered.

After holding on for so many years, Li Cuiniang clearly realized that this time, she really couldn't hold on anymore.

"Brother Tang." Li Cuiniang looked at Li Tang and said softly, "Thank you."

Although they hadn't known him for long, his help to their husband and wife made them deeply impressed.

It's a pity that I am destined not to repay the favor.

"Don't say that." Li Tang took out the consultation money, "Thank you doctor."

"Madam Zheng, I'll see the doctor off."

……

Sending the doctor away with a wry smile, Li Tang calmed down outside the door for a while before facing Li Cuiniang.

"I once asked Dr. Zhao for a blind medicine." Li Cuiniang looked at Li Tang and said softly, watching Li Tang frantically find pine nut candy and eat it.

This is not a woman showing herself to a man, but an elder's sincere love for a younger generation.

"What medicine?" After taking the pine nut candy, his sudden addiction to cigarettes was finally suppressed.

Li Cuiniang: "A medicine that can make people look good."

Li Tang: "..."

"Don't tell your husband, okay?" Li Cuiniang smiled wryly, "It will be fine after a while."

"This is not the first time, and it will get better after a while." Li Cuiniang said, "The effect of the snow lotus medicine hasn't worn off so quickly."

It was originally a thought for my husband, but I didn't expect that she actually saw it and took Tianshan Saussurea, which really made people feel at a loss.

Not without extravagant expectations, but the reality is cruel and ruthless.

"The petals have been pulled off, madam, take them back." Li Tang looked at the ground and said, "I'm really not just a single plant."

"Don't reveal it to others easily." Li Cuiniang said worriedly, "If someone asks, it's best to say that it's exhausted."

"It's really useful." Li Cuiniang twisted a petal into her mouth, "At least it makes me less painful."

"Maybe, more will be useful." Li Tang said unwillingly, saying that quantitative changes can easily lead to qualitative changes, maybe it's just that the quantity is not enough.

"One piece is enough." Li Cuiniang got out of bed and straightened her hair. "I should go home."

"But……"

"Don't worry." Li Cuiniang turned her head and chuckled, "My family will work hard to survive that battle." Before that, she will definitely be alive, and she will be alive well.

"Madam Zheng, please rest assured." Li Tang said, "I will definitely not tell Brother Zheng."

He will respect Madam Zheng's choice.

Even if it is destined to be extremely painful.

……

"She's gone?!" Xu Buhui knocked on the wall and said to Li Tang.

Everything that happened here can't be hidden from Xu Buhui.

Li Tang: "Yes!"

"That's good!" Xu Buhui breathed a sigh of relief, "I hate this kind of atmosphere the most."

Xu Buhui, who successfully climbed over the wall with a run-up, clapped his hands and said with emotion: "This old man's skills are indeed the same as before!"

Even climbing the wall is so handsome, as expected, there is no one else.

Li Tang: "Wake up, brother Bai is ten thousand times more handsome than you."

Not to mention that Xu Buhui's appearance was crushed by Bai Shuangming, even martial arts were far from Bai Shuangming's opponent.

"Brother Tang, your thinking is very dangerous!" Xu Buhui clicked his tongue and said gossipingly, "They all say that they praise the beginning of the heartbeat, are you in love with him?"

Li Tang: "Do you believe it or not when I spray you with pine nuts?"

Seeing Xu Buhui who was getting more and more rascal, Li Tang resignedly took out the banknote.

Sure enough, he didn't have the life to get the money back from Xu Bufan.

"What does this mean?" Xu Buhui asked, Tang Chenxing's money was not easy to receive, and his life might be in danger.

"Hush money." Li Tang looked at Xu Buhui with a mentally handicapped look, "Don't spread the word about what happened today."

If such big news comes out, the competition between Bai Shuangming and Zheng Yi will be affected.

"Let's take back the bank note." Xu Buhui rejected the bank note with a heartache, "Don't worry, brother Tang, although I have worked a little harder to be careful, I am still willing to fulfill the wish of a dying person." .”

Xu Buhui: "It's time to do a good deed every day."

Li Tang immediately put away the banknotes, and then looked around Xu Buhui.

Li Tang: "You were struck by lightning?" He was so righteous that he almost didn't scare him.

Xu Buhui, this should not be called doing good deeds every day, but should be discovered by conscience.

"Why do you think so?" Xu Buhui said in frustration, "Actually..."

"I dare not say it!" Xu Buhui said regretfully, clutching his forehead, "If this news is really released, I will definitely be hacked to death by Brother Bai."

"You've never seen how terrifying he looks when he loses his temper." Xu Buhui said fearfully, "It's like Shura reincarnated."

Of course, he knows how much Bai Shuangming cares about this sword fight. If he destroys it and touches Bai Shuangming's reverse scale, then it is estimated that without Qi Cheng rushing to do it, he will be beaten by Bai Shuangming on the spot.

"Is it that scary?" Li Tang asked suspiciously.

Xu Buhui nodded several times, and said with lingering fear: "You know that when it comes to group fights, Brother Bai's attitude is very negative."

Li Tang: "You're really polite, he's obviously paddling."

Xu Buhui: "He has been like this since he was a child."

"At first I thought he was hiding his clumsiness, so he didn't really compete with others in sword skills." Xu Buhui said, "But now it seems that he might not like those swordsmen at all."

If he hadn't defeated Luo Fuwei, who would have thought that Bai Shuangming would be so strong.

"It was difficult to rank Bai Shuangming in the rankings at first." Xu Buhui recalled, "Different from Brother Qi who had a remarkable record at that time, Brother Bai has always rarely made a shot. I didn't plan to rank Brother Bai at first."

"But after seeing that no one of the same generation in the Bai family disapproved of Brother Bai, I also ranked Brother Bai. Although the ranking was not high, only tenth, but once the ranking was released at that time, I was still scolded miserably."

At that time, there was a saying in the world, that is, the Bai family had learned the news in advance, and didn't want their future patriarch to be unknown, so they deliberately bought Xu Buhui and put a stop to Bai Shuangming.

"Just when I couldn't bear the pressure, I wanted to remove Brother Bai in the next ranking, but who would have imagined that there was an underworld sect who wanted to step on Brother Bai to the top, provoking Bai again and again. Brother."

"Brother Bai's temper seems to be good." Li Tang said uncertainly, "I haven't seen him get angry yet."

"It's not just about getting angry." Xu Buhui twitched the corner of his mouth, "At that time, I wondered if he had practiced kung fu for a long time, and his body had lost any yang energy."

"Something happened later." Xu Buhui said, "I heard that when Brother Bai realized the trick, he provoked him again and disturbed Brother Bai's thoughts, so..."

Li Tang immediately asked face-saving: "What's wrong?"

"One person, one sword, one hour." Xu Buhui said solemnly, "The white clothes were dyed red. Since then, no one has seen anyone from that sect."

Li Tang: "Mr. Xu, you are telling a ghost story!" Sure enough, the most terrifying thing is when a good-tempered person makes a fuss.

"Then his ranking soared to No. [-]." Xu Buhui said, "Later, I heard that Bai Shuangming admitted that he couldn't beat Qi Cheng, so he only came to No. [-]."

"But these are all old things seven years ago." Xu Buhui sighed, "Over the years, so many people have come and gone on the handsome list, only him and Qi Cheng have played the most stable."

After that battle, who would dare to underestimate Bai Shuangming!

"Brother Tang..." Just as Xu Buhui pulled Li Tang to recall the past, Bai Shuangming fell to the ground lightly.

"Young master Xu is still there?" Bai Shuangming seemed a little surprised, his work was done.

"That's right." Xu Buhui looked at Bai Shuangming and said with a smile, "The next task has been completed."

Bai Shuangming nodded: "I'm going to practice swordsmanship, by the way, brother Tang, tomorrow I will change the place where I practice swordsmanship."

The competition is coming soon, he must adjust to the best condition, and the current residence is not spacious enough, so he can't practice sword with all his strength.

"Come on, I support you mentally." Thinking of the destructive power of Bai Shuangming's sword energy, Li Tang would not politely ask him to stay.

"But food and lodging..."

Li Tang: "Don't worry, I understand."

Accompanying him to practice swords and feed moves is definitely not something he would do, but he is still confident in logistical support, especially with Qixi and Bailu, he will be more relaxed.

After all, it's good to eat well...

battlefield!

He definitely did not feed Bai Shuangming with the mentality of feeding pigs.

"Just ordinary food." Bai Shuangming "hinted".

Xu Buhui: "Brother Tang, did you cook any unusual meals?"

Li Tang: "..."

Ordinary meals?

He was afraid of eating Bai Shuangming to death. Of course, if he was not tired of fried shredded potatoes and fried persimmons with eggs, then Li Tang would still be willing to feed Bai Shuangming his two favorite dishes.

"Qixi, do you know how to cook?" Li Tang asked the kitchen, this little girl should be processing the dishes Mrs. Zheng brought over.

"My lord, my brother and I know both." Qi Xi came out holding a small cloth bag, "This is left by Mrs. Zheng, she was in a hurry to leave just now, so the servant girl Feng You put it away first."

"Why are you so stubborn." Li Tang took the cloth bag and said helplessly.

Tianshan Snow Lotus really doesn't need so much money.

******

eight days later

Seeing that the sky was getting gloomy, Li Tang couldn't help sighing, the heavy rain was coming, and the air pressure was extremely low.

After dinner, Bai Shuangming, the protagonist, had already gone to rest, but Li Tang, the head of the logistics department, couldn't fall asleep anyway, so he went up to the roof to feed the mosquitoes again.

The already heavy mood, coupled with this kind of weather, really makes people unhappy.

Li Tang couldn't help laughing at the thought that tomorrow would be the sword fight.

"Why are you cooperating so much?" Li Tang couldn't help pointing to the sky and asked.

I'm afraid that others won't know that this is an exaggeration of the environment, to make it difficult for tomorrow's competition?

Can't they let people fight vigorously to death in a sunny and sunny weather?

I don't know if God is not used to Li Tang questioning him, but not long after Li Tang finished speaking, a flash of lightning suddenly appeared in the sky, followed by a loud bang.

Li Tang quickly jumped off the roof, he didn't want to be a lightning rod.

The raindrops had already started to fall, so Li Tang looked at the black clouds covering the moon, and simply pulled out a Butterfly Love Umbrella and a Cuckoo Red.

There are quite a lot of umbrellas in his bag, and the cost of these two is not high, so Li Tang doesn't feel bad about letting them face the storm.

After propping up Dielianhua, Li Tang turned down the handle of the umbrella, thinking that it was a long time ago when he exchanged the activation code bought from Taobao for one dollar.

Seeing that the heavy rain was approaching, Li Tang decided that it would be better to give Xu Buhui an umbrella. This guy would go back to the Qishan camp every day without any damage. Giving him an umbrella on the way back was Li Tang's kindness.

As for whether he would be struck by lightning on the road, he really couldn't control it.

Just when Li Tang was struggling with which one to promise not to return, the rain gradually became heavier, and then there was a knock on the door.

In the gloomy thunderstorm and the sudden knock on the door, Li Tang was startled, and then he tightly grasped the handle of the umbrella, not wanting to open the door at all.

Anyway, those who want to come in can always find a way to get in.

"Is anyone there?" Seeing that no one answered the door, the person who knocked on the door asked patiently.

Hearing the familiar voice, Li Tang was almost so excited that he threw away the umbrella.

Just when the impulse was about to overwhelm his rationality and let himself fly, the torrential rain poured down in an instant. After thinking about everything he would experience after catching a cold, Li Tang's rationality returned to its place in an instant.

"You are?" Li Tang walked to the door and asked softly.

The jumping heart is about to lose control.

"I'm..." The person who knocked on the door chuckled, "I'm Qi Cheng."

Throwing away the bolt, Li Tang finally saw that familiar face.

Under the pouring rain, Qi Cheng was still dressed in black, holding a black oil-paper umbrella of the same color, looked at Li Tang and asked with a smile, "It's raining suddenly, and I can't find a foothold in the next moment. I wonder if you can take me in?"

"Walking around in the alley in the middle of the night, I don't know what the master's purpose is?" Li Tang blocked the door, without the slightest intention to let him go.

"Visiting relatives and friends, tomorrow is an important day for friends, how can Qi Cheng not come?"

Li Tang: "Speaking of human language, what else?"

Seeing Li Tang let him go, Qi Cheng walked in and said, "It just so happens that the target of murder and arson is not far from here."

Li Tang gave him a blank look.

I know you are not safe!
