Pastoral Chronicle of the Talented Talent

Li Min entered the main house of Cao Si's house, pushed the door open, and saw two candles on the main table not far away, emitting a faint light, illuminating an arc of land.

Li Min glanced at it, and looked around the whole room in an instant. At this moment, there is a small couch for one person in the center of the main room. Looking through the dim light, there is only one person lying on the couch, with his head facing the door. At the beginning, Li Minfu saw this head as soon as he came in. His feet were sticking out of the thin quilt, naked in the cold air, as stiff and cold as a corpse.There was a sound of wind blowing, like the strange cry of a wild animal, and the door behind him was slammed shut, and there was a trembling echo of jingling and jingling from the doorknob, like a mournful devil's cry.

Li Min gathered himself together, raised his feet and took a step closer to the small couch, his cold eyes fell on a head in front of him, he only saw that it looked stiff gray, his lips were black, especially those eyes, the eyelids drooped so much that they were wide open. The copper bell was as big as it was, and the pupils were dilated, staring at him in the dark. The air in the room was damp and cold, so oppressive that it seemed that he could squeeze out black juice. Li Min seemed to smell the breath of death. Come.

"Brother Cao is still alive, what a joy to congratulate."

Leaning down, those cold pupils mocked lightly, facing the big copper bell-like eyes indifferently and fearlessly, Li Min slightly curled the corners of his lips with a pleasant smile, clearly showing no trace of fear.

Li Min stared at Cao Heng like this, and after waiting for a while, he thought that Cao Heng, who was staring at him, would curse at him, and even jump up and beat him, but Li Min was completely wrong, and Cao Heng kept With wide open eyes, like a zombie, he remained silent, his two eyes wished to make two holes in his body, but when Li Min stepped up and walked in, the pair of copper bells seemed to emit a bad breath His pupils were still staring straight at the direction of the door.

The person on the couch was lying straight on his back, like a cold coffin.

Li Min finally realized that something was wrong, and ran forward to check. At this time, the candles in the room flickered suddenly. A group of people came in, each with a stick in his hand, the leader with a thin and dark face, pointed at Li Min, and shouted loudly, "What are the children of the Li clan still standing there for, give this man who killed Cao Heng to death?" I catch it!"

Li Min paused instinctively, and subconsciously went to look at Cao Heng. He was clearly dead. He suddenly realized that he had been tricked!

I thought they were just putting Cao Heng on to scare him, but Li Min was wrong. Qi Shao and Li Zundao didn’t need to kill themselves at all. Now that so many people have "witnessed" Cao Heng's "death" in their own hands, then it is justifiable for them to kill themselves!

Without any effort, Li Min was caught by someone Cao Si had already prepared, "Li Min, what else do you have to say!"

Cao Si grinned grimly, waiting for Li Min's final struggle.

"I asked to see the patriarch."

Li Min shouted loudly, he wants to see the patriarch, as long as he is taken to the clan for a public trial, or to the Yamen, then he has a chance to turn around, Cao Heng's body is here, as long as the body is there, he can Find the evidence in your favor!He can't just be convicted by these people without knowing why!

"Hehe," Cao Si seemed to be watching a child playing around, as if he was watching a naive urchin, "You killed Cao Heng, and this corpse is the ironclad proof! I don't need anyone tonight, and I have the right to dispose of you! "

"I didn't kill Cao Heng!" Li Min retorted loudly and struggled, "Also, how do you know that Cao Heng is dead? You didn't check at all, and you were sure that Cao Heng was dead. You killed Cao Heng in advance and planted dirt on purpose. Bar."

Hearing this, Cao Si was taken aback, he didn't pay attention to this, now that Li Min was brought out out of thin air, Cao Si's face was blank for a moment, after that, he didn't say any more, and ordered to deal with Li Min coldly.

"Why are you! Is it because you are Li Zheng, or because your surname is Cao?!" Li Min struggled unwillingly. Behind him were several children of the Li clan who used to follow Li Zundao.

"As Li Zheng, I really don't have the right to dispose of you; but Li Zundao does!" Cao Si seemed to have expected what Li Min would say, waved his hand decisively, and saw Li Zundao walking in slowly from the door. Li Min looked at him, his eyes were fixed, and something quickly grew in his heart. At this moment, Cao Si scolded, "Li Zundao is the elder of your Li clan; he is also the order of the court! Either identity can I can deal with you! Li Min, Li Min, you have been studying for many years, have you never heard a sentence, cut it first and play it later. Let you savor it tonight!"

"Come on!" Cao Si turned his head and yelled, his voice resounding throughout the roof, half of his face was sunken in the darkness, his eyes were narrowed into slits, and white knives were sharpening inside, "Drag Li Min out! Dispose of it according to regulations!"

"He bit Cao Heng with a snake, and prepared a poisonous snake—" Someone shouted loudly from behind, and then more than a dozen people came up and carried Li Min out of the house shouting.For a while, the whole yard was bustling with people, obviously all of them were Li Zundao's cronies.

Li Min saw a brawny black man walking towards him with a red fist, and when he got closer, he found that it was not a brawny black man at all, but a thin old man with a giant python wrapped around his upper body.

The old man led the giant python spitting out the red core towards him. Facing the python's eyes and the blood-red core, Li Min instinctively confessed all the acid in his stomach. He was afraid of snakes, although not for ten years. I'm afraid of well ropes, but when I see snakes, I can't help being timid.

Li Min backed up and shouted at the same time, "Cao Si, Li Zundao, stop! You deal with me privately, have you ever thought about Chunhua at Cao Heng's house?!"

"Bastard! What's the matter with Chunhua!" Cao Si ran up and spat viciously.When Chunhua is mentioned, everyone can only think of the affair with Li Min before Chunhua got married.So Cao Si was extremely embarrassed when he heard this, and wished to shut up Li Min immediately.

"Hehe, why don't you ask Qi Shao?" Li Min smiled lightly, hiding the coldness emanating from his body when the giant python slowly approached.

Li Zundao gave Cao Si a wink at this time, Cao Si understood, and hurriedly retreated to look for Qi Shao.

"I heard that boa constrictors are generally non-poisonous. Uncle Zundao, you really took great pains to scare me with this thing!"

Seeing that Cao Si went down, Li Min calmed down a little, as long as these people would listen to him, that's what he wanted.Long before coming here, Li Min had concluded based on Li Qing's words that Li Qing would send someone to Cao Heng's house to protect him.Li Min always procrastinates for time, and even encourages Cao Si to go to Cao Heng's house.He calculated that Cao Si and Li Qing would run into each other, so he waited for Li Qing to come to save him, now it's about time.

Li Zundao didn't see through Li Min's intentions. He had his own calculations. Hearing Li Min's words, he immediately showed a sinister smile, took two steps forward, and swept the thin old man. With a whistling tongue, he greeted Li Min's face in a circle. Li Zundao saw that Li Min's face was as white as paper wax, his body was stretched straight, and even his toes stood up. Li Zundao laughed wildly when he saw it. After laughing, Looking at Li Min with deep interest, he said with a sense of agreement, "I heard that Li Xiucai is afraid of snakes. Dalang, I'll give you this giant python as an appetizer. Why, are you still satisfied?"

Li Min's pupils shrunk to the point of a needle, and he stared at the giant python in front of him. He felt his hairs all over his body suddenly sprouting, and wished he could find a crack in the ground and get in now, never to come out again!

"Still, satisfied!"

He bit his lips tightly, his voice came out from between his teeth, his delicate little face was blank, as if he was about to collapse.

"I don't know what your next dish is!" Li Min's body was tightly restrained by several strong men, there was no room for struggle, and he couldn't run. Facing the giant python, he had the fear of starting and stopping, and desperately wanted to To be redeemed, if Li Zundao wants to kill him next, it will be more enjoyable than facing this snake!

"You are so afraid of snakes, how about letting you lie in a coffin with it and sleep overnight, not knowing what it's like?" Li Zundao smiled, and with a wave of his hand, let the thin snake man put the giant python on Li Min's body .

"don't want--"

Li Min screamed at the top of his voice. Seeing that there were no staff keeping the snake, the giant python happily swam towards him, as if he had found his close friend in the legend. Shouted, "Li Zundao, why on earth are you torturing me like this!"

Li Zundao did not speak.

At this time, Li Min felt the root of his neck, and it was closely attached to the cold snake body. In an instant, Li Min wished to cross again!

"You didn't kill me because of Cao Heng! You came to Mushui Village to avoid disaster! To avoid the Xiao family's pursuit! Let me tell you, the Xiao family is coming, you can't escape!"

As soon as Li Min's words fell, the coldness on his body suddenly disappeared. Li Zundao finally spoke with a cold face, and his eyes gradually showed murderous intent, "So you know it all! Very good... Li Xiucai!" , you really know too much, it seems that the next thing I can do is to serve you a good dish!"

The thin snake keeper heard this, and the giant python slithered away, and a small red snake as thin as a child's wrist emerged from the snake keeper's wrist. In the brightly lit yard, the little red snake swam around, He spitting out the letter, but there was a faint green light on the letter!

This snake is very poisonous!

"Cao Heng died of snake venom, Li Min, come and taste it today!"

As Li Zundao said, the little red snake was sent to the front by the snake breeder, and was about to do it, when there was a sound of heavy objects falling to the ground from the gate of the courtyard, and then a guard was seen rolling and crawling. After entering, he hurriedly threw himself on his knees in front of Li Zundao, "My lord! My lord is not good!"

"Lizheng hadn't even reached Cao Heng's house, but he found that Li Qingzheng was pressing Chunhua on the way, coming towards us... and started fighting!"

Hearing the guard's words, Li Zundao's eyes were tearing apart. Li Qing was just a small soldier, how could the people under him compare to the guards in his own hands?But the guard in front of him was clearly injured by a master, could it be from the Xiao family?Impossible, how could people from the Xiao family come by such a coincidence!

Hearing this, Li Min secretly thought it was bad, Li Qing and the others were stopped, but they couldn't come to rescue him in time, Li Min was very anxious, he had to escape by himself!

Just when Li Min was thinking, Li Zundao roared violently, ordering the snake breeder to train the little red snake to bite him.If you are bitten by this snake, within half a minute, you will definitely die!

Li Min didn't know where the strength came from, and he stretched out his feet to kick the person behind him, and heard an ouch, the person was kicked in pain, and as soon as he let go of his hand, Li Min was free, bumped away from Li Zundao, and quickly fled towards the gate go!

Li Zundao's men will continue to pursue——

"Stop! Don't chase!"

Hearing an order in the air, the subordinates and the disciples of the clan turned their heads one after another, only to see a man of medium build, square face, dark skin and strong man slowly coming from behind the crowd to the front. Seeing this, everyone People couldn't help being stunned, Cao Heng shook his strong arms with his fists, and said coldly, "What are you looking at! Are you expecting me to die?!"

Everyone was silent, and Cao Heng walked in front of Li Zundao, his dark eyes erupted with a chilling cold light, but his voice was extremely respectful, and he asked, "Uncle, are you sure Li Min is not Pretend, did he really escape? Then those of us ambushing on the road..."

Li Zundao breathed a sigh of relief, the game he set up has finally begun.His triangular eyes exuding a faint glow were sharp. He slowly stretched out his hand, rubbed it gently, his eyes narrowed slowly, and his long face suddenly darkened, and he said, "Li Min, Li Min, It seems very smart, but when people are scared out of their wits, they will also panic. In the panic, all their ingenuity will be forgotten. Henger, look at it, tonight, we will harvest Li Xiucai's body. "

It turned out that the snake venom that Cao Heng had been poisoned had already been removed, and there was no trace of poison on his body.

He deliberately pretended that the dead body was dirty with Li Min, because the bad breath in his chest couldn't come out.How could Cao Heng be willing to let Li Min die happily like this?He must make such a bad breath before Li Min died.Seeing Li Min escaped from the gate now, Cao Heng's eyes showed vicious triumph, and he nodded in agreement, "Uncle, it's good to think about it. Now there is only one last step in our plan. After the body is recovered, we will take it seriously." Put the Xiao family together, and then Yufeng will be able to return to the imperial capital and become a warrior of the tiger."

The people below listened without thinking, with a hint of confusion in their expressions. Everyone exchanged glances, but no one dared to ask a word.

The guard who reported the message earlier grunted, "I don't know what's going on with Lizheng now."

"He really didn't succeed enough, but failed!" Li Zundao yelled, "It's just a little Li Qing, but he can't even get it right!" Turning his head to look at Cao Heng, he ordered, "Heng'er go rescue Cao himself. Think, lest he do bad things again!"

Cao Heng complied with his orders, and saluted with fists clasped, his big black eyes were filled with cruelty, "I'll leave this place to my uncle. I'll get Li Min's body when I get back."

The disciples and guards in the arena were all taken away by Cao Heng, they left the gate, and went in the opposite direction from where Li Min fled.

Cao Heng originally thought that Li Qing's gang would not be able to achieve anything, and at most they would bring a few cronies around the old guy of the patriarch to make a fuss, but when he got to the place, he couldn't help being stunned.

Seeing Cao Si and more than a dozen guards surrounding the three men in black, Cao Heng stood there with his arms folded, with an evil smile on his lips, "It turns out that Li Qing was scared away a long time ago, so he stayed behind." It's enough to watch these three men in black making a fuss!"

Cao Heng was about to ask Cao Si to evacuate everyone, but Li Qing was gone, what on earth were they going to do surrounding these three men in black!Uncle Cao Si is good at everything, but he is too defensive and fussy. He can take things that are a little sharper to his heart, and he still cares about getting it back every day.

At this time, the three men in black rushed left and right under the siege of more than a dozen guards and Cao Si, and seemed to have no power to fight back, until one of the guards suddenly tilted his head and fell, Cao Heng saw it, His face began to turn pale little by little.

Cao Si was sweating faintly, gritted his teeth secretly and rushed into the battle group. Only then was he horrified to find that ten people including himself and Cao Si clearly had the upper hand and surrounded the three men in black. It was only then that I could feel that the three men in black were fast, like a gust of wind, suddenly shuttled through the battle group, and suddenly burst out with a terrifying momentum when they struck out lightning with the palm of their hand.Cao Heng only swung the long saber twice, when the blade touched the cold white corner of one of the black-clothed men's sleeves, sparks flew everywhere, and there was a buzzing in his ears, so shocking that Cao Heng was forced to abandon the saber, He retreated, trying to jump out of the circle, but he seemed to be attracted by the man in black like a magnet on his body. Cao Heng was unarmed, and was forced to fight with the man in black.

"Damn it! What kind of strange martial art is this!" Cao Heng scolded his mother again and again, his body was gradually exhausted.

At this moment, the shadow hiding in the dark saw fifteen people below who were entangled by the men in black, their black eyes like abysses were focused on Cao Heng who was frantically dealing with the man in black, casually playing with a branch in his hand, He narrowed his black eyes slightly, aiming at the unstable part of Cao Heng's lower body, and was about to shoot, but he stopped the next moment, sighed as if there was nothing, and his voice was strangely young and clear, "Oh, Cao Heng is dead. Now, Min'er will definitely be suspected, let the Xiao family take the blame."

The black shadow patted the dry leaves on his body, turned around and got off the tree, and walked in the direction where Li Qing and others were going.Just now Li Qing was entangled by Cao Si's men, and a burning carriage separated the two groups, but Li Qing and others went back to the patriarch's house to look for Li Min, he did not ask where Li Min was at Chunhua's place , Naturally come back first to find someone.

When Heiying heard in the dark that Li Min hadn't returned as scheduled, the baby's plump face suddenly sank, his eyes as deep as black abysses seemed to be filled with boundless murder, and he pursed his crystal lips tightly. , he stood in the dark thinking for a while, then returned to the original place without hesitation!At this moment, only Cao Heng and Cao Si know Li Min's whereabouts, he must hurry up and ask for clues before the killing of the Xiao family begins!

However, when the black shadow returned, it was very lively because of the sound of fighting happening near the entrance of the village.Some villagers had already been awakened, and rushed to watch the excitement. The black shadow glanced at it from a distance, and there lay crooked corpses, and there were screams from the villagers from time to time.Realizing that the person had been silenced, the black shadow followed Cao Heng's path and rushed back!

At this moment, the village is strangely quiet, the quieter it is, the more worrying it is, not finding Li Min, his heart sinks more and more, the steps under his feet scurry twice, and half of Mushui Village is wiped out in the blink of an eye. Do a search.

Li Min escaped from Cao Si's house and felt something was wrong while running. No matter how hard he struggled, the two people holding him could not be easily broken away by him. Thinking quickly in his mind, Li Min stopped and suddenly felt It was Li Zundao who let him go on purpose.He looked up at the dark country road in front of him, and instinctively stepped back step by step.

Why did Li Zundao return to Mushui Village? Li Yufeng has never become an official Huben warrior. Isn’t Li Zundao in a hurry? He was also hunted down by members of the Xiao family. It is not an option to always hide in Mushui Village. It is to find a way to get out.

Li Min couldn't think of it before, but now, the answer is ready to come.

There was a crackling sound in his ear, the sound of dry branches being trampled, Li Min stopped suddenly, looked down at his feet, it was flat and there were no dead branches, so the dead branches were——

When he turned his head, he saw a masked tall man standing behind him like a ghost, his hands forming a cold arrow feather.Li Min only felt chills on his back, and when he turned around, he saw a masked man standing in front of him, one behind the other, blocking his last passage.

Seeing these two masked killers, Li Min understood instantly!Why did Li Zundao change his mind and praise him so much for building the embankment? Because he insisted on making Li Min an important person in Mushui Village, and letting him preside over the construction of the embankment added weight.

"Who are you?" Li Min stayed where he was, trying to keep his voice calm.

"The killer of the Xiao family..." the masked man replied.

However, before the words finished, Li Minhan reprimanded him back, "No! You are not from the Xiao family, you are the killers of the Shentu family!"

The arrow feathers in these people's hands were the same as the arrow feathers that Jia Yuan held back then. They were shiny and exquisite. The arrows were not big, but the three-pronged arrowhead was wrapped in sterling silver. It was Xiao's arrow!

But the Xiao family is not stupid enough to kill someone, and they still carry their own arrows so that people can recognize them.This is Li Zundao's conspiracy!

Dirty Xiao's family!To deal with the Xiao family, Li Zundao is not the only one, so the killer in front of him must be Li Zundao's backer, the assassin of the Shentu family!

Even if Li Min was sure, the silence of the man in black just confirmed Li Min's guess, but Li Min couldn't figure out the trick that Li Zundao played at Cao Si's house just now.

Li Min didn't have time to think about it. At this time, one of the masked men couldn't hold back, and stabbed at him with an arrow. With a beep, his robe was cut into two pieces. Li Min dodged to the side, and the masked man held onto the sharp point of the arrow Without taking a breath, he stabbed at Li Min's chest again!
