Pastoral Chronicle of the Talented Talent

Li Min rolled over on the spot, groped for a wooden stick in the dark, quickly took a deep breath and let it out, relaxing his wrists and muscles all over his body. At this moment, the masked man stabbed with arrow feathers, and Li Min stepped back quickly with a lunge, squinting. Seeing the masked man attacking his heart, he opened his upper body shield and drew arrows to stab him.When the point of the arrow didn't point to his chest, Li Min's figure suddenly jumped up, moving like a rabbit, and stabbed straight with the stick!The masked man's arrow tip brushed against Li Min's robe, his eyes were pierced by a long stick, he screamed in pain, and fell to the ground with his arrow feathers in his arms.

At this time, the other masked man paused, obviously surprised by this result.What they specialize in is swords rather than arrows, and their companions were blinded by Li Min several times. Li Min's moves are too weird. He is obviously not their opponent, but he can pick up sticks and dance in an instant, attracting attention. When the enemy comes to attack and lure the enemy into the urn, the opponent's strength may not only be good at wielding a long stick, but more deeply, his mental alertness.

The masked man threw down the arrow feather in his hand with a slap, and pulled out the soft sword from his waist. With a shock through the air, the soft sword emitted a sharp light with a bang, and the masked man's long sword drew a sword flower, with killing intent All four aimed at Li Min, a person who can still hurt his companion in a critical situation, there is no need to use the Xiao family's arrows to play tricks, the key is a quick battle.

In an instant, the long sword stabbed towards Li Min like lightning, with nine strokes of the sword, it soared into the sky, turned into a flying rainbow, and swooped down on Li Min like a beast opening its bloody mouth, directly slamming Depression into the sky. The scholar engulfed!

In modern times, Li Min played western fencing very smoothly. Although he was not able to participate in prize-winning competitions, it was still his favorite sport among amateurs. To this day, the coach who taught him fencing is no longer his opponent. .

But now he is playing fencing, and he may win when he meets an insider, but he is not enough to look at in front of professional killers like the Shentu family.The blinding of the masked man's eyes just now was entirely due to the cooperation of the hand and the brain. In addition, the masked man is not good at killing people with short and thin arrow feathers. Every inch is short and every inch is dangerous. Li Min got a good deal this time, but otherwise A masked man was not stupid, he drew out his good sharp long sword, and figured out the way for Li Min to get out of the glove when Li Min stabbed his companion blind just now, the masked man made up his mind not to waste any more time, The first shot is murderous, and I vow to make a quick decision!

What Li Min held in his hand was just a stupid wooden stick. Seeing the masked man's long sword like a monster, the cold light turned into sharp animal teeth, biting towards him densely. At that moment, Li Min's reaction became numb. , can only watch the danger approaching in a daze, all he can do right now is to quickly raise the wooden stick to block the sword's force.

Hearing the wooden stick in his hand being cut off with a swipe, it was as fun as cutting a radish, and feeling the cold light attacking his skin, Li Min only realized, it's over, it's a dead end!

"Li Qing!!"

Li Min was not reconciled, and finally shouted to the sky.

The shout of "Li Qing" echoed in the dark night. At this time, after hearing the voice, the black shadow suddenly shook his body. He listened carefully to identify the direction, but the voice did not ring out again. Suddenly a burst of extremely anxious!With eyes as dark as abyss, he glanced roughly at the narrow path he was in. Although the houses in Mushui Village were built crookedly, each house was arranged in order. In the path, a black shadow suddenly flashed, and suddenly swept towards the roof, while looking down and looking around, hoping to hear the familiar voice again.

Li Min had no escape, the masked man's sword fell, and only cut off a hair of Li Min... Li Min didn't expect that he would escape from death, but when he saw the masked man's next move, he was completely happy Can't get up.

I saw the masked man took out the Xiao family's arrow feather, put the tip of the sword against Li Min's neck, and at the same time raised the collar of the arrow with one hand, slowly advancing towards Li Min's heart, the breath of death welled up in his heart, Li Min pressed Said in a low tone, "You will not succeed. It is absolutely impossible for the Xiao family to kill me with their own arrows. Li Zundao's method is rotten! No matter what he says, the emperor will not believe it..."

Li Min was very dissatisfied with his last words. He wanted to say more, but when the point of the arrow pierced his skin, Li Min's rattle stopped. The night in the countryside was dark and cold. On the road to Huangquan, it can't be worse than this. Li Min took a deep breath, realizing that he would die, but he was not afraid.

He thought that the masked man would not reply to him, but he didn't know that the masked man with one eye destroyed by him behind him covered his injured eye, and his gloomy voice echoed in the cold night, he said, " Your Majesty will not believe Li Zundao's words, but your Majesty will believe the Shentu family's words. After you are killed by the Xiao family's arrows, Li Zundao can file a petition, suing the Xiao family for being rampant!"

Li Min is the only scholar in Mushui Village. He has excellent morality, talent and martial arts. More importantly, he also builds embankments for the country. He may be the number one scholar in the next year's exam!What is the No. [-] scholar? It might be the high position of the prime minister in the future!The Xiao family killed such a promising young man, clearly with bad intentions!What will the emperor think when he hears this?

The position of prime minister is held by members of the Xiao family, why did the Xiao family kill Li Min?Why discount his respected talents?It also implies a deep evil intention, wanting to monopolize the government, and wanting the position of prime minister to be occupied by the Xiao family forever.Li Min died, and there was one less competitor.Although there is insufficient evidence for such suspicion, after all Li Min is not well-known in the management and the imperial capital, but although this will not kill the Xiao family, it will make the emperor alienate the Xiao family, and the Shentu family will benefit in the end.

What the Shentu family has to do is to overthrow the Xiao family all the time; what Li Zundao has to do is to make his son a warrior of the tiger and no longer be threatened by the Xiao family, so he supports the Shentu family even more and obeys the other party's orders.

Therefore, Li Min must die under the arrows of the Xiao family!

Li Min tried his best to make a final fight, but he was facing a ruthless killer who had experienced hundreds of battles. Before Li Min could react, the triangular arrow feather on his chest mercilessly pierced into his chest. .

For a moment, Li Min only felt the panic and stinging pain caused by foreign objects entering his body, piercing into his flesh and blood.Thinking about death is very different from when facing death. No matter how prepared Li Min is, he has never tried the feeling of being nailed into the heart with a weapon.

He let out a scream of "ah", only heard two dings, the pain of the arrow point piercing into the body stopped instantly, Li Min hesitated to take a closer look, and saw a dark night rushing from behind. Shadow, Doutou struck the two masked men like lightning and thunder.

I didn't see who it was, but he didn't die. Li Min was overjoyed and knew that he was saved instantly. Seeing the two masked men fell down, Li Min opened his mouth and asked the black shadow, "Where's Li Qing?" He thought it was Li Qing who sent someone to save him. Before he came, the only savior left behind was Li Qing. Now that someone came to save him, it must have been sent by Li Qing!

With two clicks, the two masked men fell to the ground one after another and their necks were twisted firmly. The black shadow's kung fu was staggering. One step away, I saw the black shadow turn around. Under the moonlight, the black shadow's face could not be seen clearly in the dark, and his figure was about half a head taller than Li Min. When he smiled sincerely, he suddenly saw a blur in front of him, and the black shadow disappeared. The next moment, he felt a numbness behind his ears, and the scene in front of him suddenly became blurred. Before his eyes, he seemed to see a black shadow walking towards him, but why... Isn't he saved, why is he still being plotted against?

Li Min yelled in his heart not to faint!It's not time to be dizzy!But as if the body was not his own, the world suddenly fell into darkness, and he closed his eyes.

The black shadow passed by like a flash of lightning, and before he fell to the ground, he was firmly caught in his arms.

Hugging Li Min's thin body into her arms, hugging the protruding and sticky bones, she felt the same as those days and nights when she slept with him in the side room, and sneaked into the room while he was asleep in the middle of the night. When I hugged him, it was exactly the same, so real and sweet.

His Li Min, did not die, was not killed.

Thanks to him coming one step earlier, he was able to regain this living body.

However, none of those who wanted to kill him could escape!

"Li Min, I'm sorry." Heiying's slender and tall body stood in the darkness, he caressed the delicate face in his arms, and murmured in an unusually clear and low voice, "I must order your Sleeping Point , because you will not know it is me until you fall asleep; because once you know it is me and guess my identity, you will definitely not tolerate me..."

Li Qing divided the people into three groups, searched the whole Mushui Village, only one group came back, and the other two groups didn't come back on time, Li Qing was so anxious that he was about to go out in person, when he saw the dark path, Suddenly a black shadow appeared, and he asked someone to take a torch to illuminate him, but he saw Nianzu, who was holding a person in his arms, smiling silly as he walked, that baby fat little face In an instant, it piled up into a pile of meat, covering even the facial features, looking stupid and clumsy, he hugged Li Min to him, murmured, and didn't know what he was talking about.

Li Qing, who is in his 40s, stayed up most of the night, his face was full of exhaustion. Looking at Li Min in his arms, the clothes on his body were scratched twice. Other than that, he seemed not injured. Li Qing heaved a sigh of relief and went to work Ask Nianzu, "Where did you find Dalang? Why did he fall asleep?"

Finding that Li Min's breathing was normal, Li Qing was relieved, and then asked Nianzu.

I only saw Nianzu's fat little face with a friendly smile, and his tongue licking his lips from time to time. After hearing the question, he shook his head, stretched out his hand and pointed to the dark place, and opened his dark eyes wide Yes, clear and sincere under the firelight.

"Forget it, take someone over there to have a look." Li Qing knew about Nianzu's situation, so he didn't ask any further questions. Fortunately, Li Min came back safely, so he asked Nianzu to carry Li Min into the room. Li Qing Then he went out in person.

Li Qing led a group of people to rush to the path in the dark place that Nianzu pointed out, and went around to Cao Si's house, but found nothing unusual. Li Qing couldn't help wondering, could it be that Li Min passed out by the roadside, Was Nian Zu wandering there, and then rescued him along the way?But his people were divided into several groups, and they wandered through most of Mushui Village, but they couldn't find Li Min, and Nianzu was able to find him.Could it be that the fool's luck is exceptionally good?

Li Min woke up before dawn the next day. He stroked his head in great pain, just like the feeling before, only felt that the pain was severe, which made Li Min's head instinctively miss those pair of hands. Nianzu's hands were pressed and massaged with moderate force... There was a pair of big bright eyes in front of the bed, looking at him flickeringly, the pupils of the eyes were full of expectation, Li Min touched the When there was a little baby fat face, there was a moment of confusion in the head, and he asked in a hoarse voice, "Nianzu, why are you here?"

When Nianzu saw Li Min struggling to sit up, he hugged him on the edge of the couch and pressed his head with great concern. Remembering everything, he reached out and grabbed Nianzu's hand on his head, and asked quickly, "You came out of Minjian's house? Is Lang'er still there? Is he all right?"

As he spoke, he lifted his legs and got off the couch, and was about to go out, when he looked down and saw that he had changed all his clothes, he couldn't help being stunned, Nianzu jumped over, grabbed his hand, and shook his head in front of him , for an affirmative answer.

Li Min couldn't help raising his eyebrows when he saw it, did Nianzu understand what he said?

But how did he come back? Could it be that shadow man sent him back?Li Min thought about it slowly, but she couldn't remember clearly the shadow man from last night.It's just that Li Zun said that they failed to kill him, but now he doesn't know how their play will continue, and Qi Shao... Has he come back?

Li Min opened the door and walked out, Nianzu followed behind him suddenly, Li Min only focused on going out, he didn't realize that the people behind him were walking fast like lightning, and they dodged to his left and right.

Qi Shao didn't come back. Li Min saw that there was no one in the house, so he went to the patriarch's house. Unexpectedly, the patriarch's house was full of people, and the elders also gathered together. They were all there, but Li Zundao was not seen.

Li Min walked across the crowd, and his hand was suddenly grabbed by someone. He looked at the man, Li Mu was holding Li Min's hand, and said in a meaningful tone, "Min'er, Cao Heng is dead."

"Cao Heng is dead?" Li Min repeated his words in surprise, then pulled out his wrist bit by bit from his hand, raised his eyebrows and smiled, and asked an irrelevant question, "Second uncle worked hard on the embankment. Yes, you should rest more, Min'er has time to visit her aunt, I wonder if little cousin is okay?"

Li Mu understood it from Li Min's mocking smile. A dark light flashed across his cold face, and he suddenly persuaded, "Someone in the family saw you go to Cao Heng's house. It happened that Li Zundao said that he was lost and brought him from the imperial capital. Come back Ye Mingzhu, Min'er, you should think more and talk less when you go in."

The uncles and nephews were talking nonsense, but the people crowded beside them could understand them.

"Really? Then my nephew should go in and ask."

Li Min smiled slightly at Li Mu, his smile was full of gratitude, but his eyes were cold.What Li Mu said was just playing in front of people, and what's more, his words clearly confirmed that he stole Ye Mingzhu from others.Li Min pursed her lips, looked at Li Mu, and smiled deeper. After repairing the embankment once, Li Mu's ability to speak with guns and sticks gradually improved.

As the two walked forward, Li Min's thoughts changed. As early as last night, Cao Heng died in front of him. Now Li Mu mentions Cao Heng's death...Could it be that Cao Heng didn't die at that time?

Thinking of the trap Li Zundao had set for him, Li Min couldn't help but secretly nodded, yes, when he saw Cao Heng, he must have not died, he died after he left, who killed Cao Heng?Why didn't Li Zundao show up?What about Cao Si?

With a series of questions in his heart, Li Min stepped into the main hall of the patriarch's house, Nian Zu followed closely behind Li Min, his eyes as deep as black abyss did not leave Li Min at all.Seeing Li Min walking in quickly, he suddenly put his hand into Li Min's and held it tightly.

"Don't be afraid of Nianzu, the uncles and uncles here are good people." Li Min felt Nianzu's warm hand grabbing him, as if he was very nervous, his palms were sweaty, Li Min's heart suddenly softened , turned his head and smiled softly at Nianzu, and comforted him softly.

As if Nianzu understood what he said, he grinned and nodded repeatedly.

Li Min stepped forward and bowed to the elders and patriarchs, and asked, "I heard something happened to Cao Heng, what happened?"

Li Qing, who hadn't slept all night, had dark circles under his eyes, glanced at his father with cloudy eyes, stood up first, walked up to Li Min, and said softly, "Cao Heng found out that he was killed at the door of his house last night. Along with Lizheng Cao Si and the disciples of the Yiqian clan, a few of the guards around Li Zundao also died..."

Hearing this, Li Min frowned, it was really what Li Qing said, it was beyond his expectation, he thought last night was just a trap set by Li Zundao against himself, but now it seems that there is something else in this trap, And the one caught is obviously the one who set the trap, so who is the ultimate mastermind?Even Li Zundao was included.

"Have you found out who did it?" Li Min asked softly.

"Li Min! I heard that your distinguished guest said that you went to Cao Si's house last night. Is this true?"

Hearing Li Min's whisper, Li Kang asked suspiciously.

Li Min turned his eyes and saw that he knew this elderly elder Li Kang with wrinkles on his face like a knife carved in a stone tablet. In the last clan meeting, he and Li Puhe were the ones who were most opposed to embankment repairs and secretly spoke for Li Mu. of.

"Da Lang is a scholar. It's okay to lift a stone, but he's not good at anything else." Li Cheng, the gray-bearded first elder of the clan who had been sitting next to Li Qifu, suddenly said, an irrelevant sentence, but Putting aside the suspicion for Li Min, he nodded towards Li Min with twinkling eyes.

"Cao Si not only died when Li Min went to his house, but also lost the Ye Mingzhu. This matter is quite suspicious. Could it be that someone killed someone to take the Ye Mingzhu for money. After all, it is something played by the nobles of the imperial capital. Country people See, I might be curious."

Li Puhe answered with a smile, Youyan's pupils were bottomless, as if ice blades were rushing towards Li Min.

He is the youngest of the entire clan, with a gentle appearance, sculpted eyebrows and bright eyes, he looks very gentle and polite, but because Li Min was beaten speechless by the last clan meeting, after losing face in front of everyone, I hated this scholar in my heart.Today it was Li Min who came to the door on his own initiative, and his words that hit the rocks when he was in trouble were completely handy, and he could convict Li Min of death without hindering his eyes.

Except for the elder Li Cheng, no one present supported Li Min. The patriarch remained silent, his eyes were clouded with mourning, he thought it was a dead son of the clan, and he felt distressed when he saw that he was getting old. For a moment, I couldn't get up my energy.

"Da Lang, tell me something, what did you do last night, why did you come back safely, while Cao Si and Cao Heng died?"

Li Kang asked sharply.

Cao Heng was sent back to his home because of the snake venom. Because Chunhua didn't take good care of him, Cao Si carried him back to his home. Now the uncle and nephew died together. Li Min from Cao Si's family is gone.

The patriarch Li Qifu also looked at Li Min at the same time. Now the whole clan is waiting for him to make a decision, to send Li Min to the government. Li Zundao has not shown up until now, just to force himself, but the youngest son Li Qing is determined. I believe that Li Min didn't kill anyone, it's just that Li Qifu only believes in evidence, and with evidence, he can convince these people in front of him!

"Since Qi Shao said these words, why don't you let him come out and say it again." Li Min didn't deny or admit it, and glanced at everyone with a half-smile.

Originally thought that Qi Shao sent himself to Cao Sina's tiger's mouth, and the mission was completed, but he didn't expect his mission to be completed, maybe Ye Mingzhu would be searched out from his yard after a while, right?

When Li Min thought of this, his eyes moved, and he suddenly looked behind him. Banban immediately came to his mind, and his heart sank a little. If Banban were to find out Ye Mingzhu and then hide it, Qi Shao would want to be killed by then. Dirty tricks won't work, but—

Where is Nianzu?

Li Min didn't see Nianzu, let alone order Nianzu to let Banban appear, find Ye Mingzhu and hide it, Li Min's heart tightened for a while, standing in the overcrowded room, walking on thin ice for a moment.

Before Li Min could figure out the reason for Nianzu's sudden disappearance, he saw a person surrounded by disciples from the sect outside. He only saw Pang Yi, his eyes were shining, he was wearing a jade crown with hair tied on his head, and he was dressed in exquisite and luxurious clothes. As soon as the robe entered the room, it immediately became more and more radiant, and the clan elders and heads of the house all over the room were compared by his color, as if the jade tree was placed among the reeds.

"Brother Li Min, it was indeed Cao Si's house that I took you to last night. I came back later and met some villagers from Mushui Village along the way. Everyone can testify."

Qi Shao walked in, holding a bone fan in his hand, with a smile on his lips, as if he was talking about the scenery leisurely, and in a few words, he cleared his own suspicion.

Hearing this, Li Min's expression was cold and his eyes were ponderous, and he seemed to wake up after a while, and stated coldly, "Brother Qi means that I went to Cao Si's house and did some things, but unfortunately you can't produce any evidence at all. "

Qi Shao looked at Li Min, holding the bone fan tightly, as if he was making an extremely difficult decision, even his eyes showed a trace of unbearable, but he suddenly turned his head and looked at Li Kang who was beside him.

Li Kang coughed, and said in an old voice, "It's not easy to get evidence? Li Dalang, let someone search your yard, would you like that?"

Li Min glanced at the faces of Qi Shao and Li Kang. The two had secretly exchanged glances a few times since just now. Now seeing the confident expression on Li Kang's face, Li Min understood. It seems that from his own The Ye Mingzhu must be found in the yard.
