Li Xin'an respectfully invited Song Yuandao into the Tiger Hall. Although he didn't understand why he found this place, Song Yuandao must have his own reasons.
According to Li Xin'an's intuition, Song Yuandao showed up this time not to harm him.
Sure enough, after sitting down, Song Yuandao bluntly stated the purpose of his trip.
"Li Xin'an, I am here this time to discuss cooperation with your Blood Clothes Hall on behalf of Tiance Mansion."
Li Xin'an smiled slightly: "Senior Song also wants to kill Gao Xiaotian?"
"Of course." Song Yuandao nodded and said, "The day after tomorrow on the 15th day of the lunar calendar, Gao Xiaotian will go outside the city to pay homage to his parents as usual. There will not be too many followers around. At that time, it is the best time for you to take action."
Li Xin'an was still thinking hard about how to enter Tiance Mansion, but she didn't expect that the opportunity to turn around was right in front of her.
"But why?" Li Xin'an frowned and asked, "Since there is a chance to take action, why doesn't the old man take action himself and still troubles our Blood Clothes Hall?"
"Because you are the Blood Clothes Hall, Gao Xiaotian can die in the hands of anyone, but he cannot die in the hands of his own people in the Tiance Mansion." Song Yuandao sighed, "Besides, now that Lu Da is imprisoned, he is seriously injured again.
In bed, not long after I returned to Luoyang, I was plotted against by Gao Xiaotian, and now my strength is not as good as before, so I can only rely on your Blood Clothes Hall."
"Then...what about the reward?"
Li Xin'an didn't have to ask for remuneration from Zhong Yiyi, because he felt guilty towards Zhong Yiyi. But for Song Yuandao, Li Xin'an didn't have so much reason to talk to.
"The reward is that your Blood Clothes Hall can continue to stay in Luoyang City safely from now on, and Tiance Mansion will not take any action."
Li Xin'an frowned: "We just entered the city a few days ago. Are those two people following us your men?"
"He is a subordinate of an old friend of mine." Song Yuandao said, "How about it, Hall Master Li, have you thought about it?"
"Of course, this business is not a loss." Li Xin'an nodded, "But the problem is that we don't have all the manpower now, and the day after tomorrow, time will be tight."
"Beside Hall Master Li, isn't there Lu Qingdai, the master of Xueyue Villa?" Song Yuandao said with a smile, "Gao Xiaotian can tie with her, and with the other elites of your Blood Clothes Hall, it is difficult for Gao Xiaotian to win.
of."
"Senior Song is really well-informed. I can't hide anything from you."
"It's just the old foundation of Tiance Mansion, not worth mentioning."
Li Xin'an shook his head and said: "I don't plan to let Master Lu get involved in the matter of Blood Clothes Hall. It will be the biggest stain in her life. I can't dirty her hands. I also have a subordinate who will arrive tomorrow.
With him here, things might be easier to handle."
"Well, I believe you." Song Yuandao didn't intend to stay any longer and stood up to leave: "If you are defeated, don't let Gao Xiaotian catch you alive."
"Of course."
Chi Wenbiao, the master of Snake Hall, arrived in the dusty evening of the next day.
According to Li Xin'an's request, he was going to assassinate Monk Du Yan of White Horse Temple.
Chi Wenbiao simply said goodbye to Li Xin'an and the others, dressed in black clothes and covered his face, and went out.
"Hall Master Chi just left like this?" Ye Qinglan said, "It's too simple. For one person to sneak into the White Horse Temple and assassinate the eminent monk Du Yan, it would be as difficult as climbing to heaven."
"That's because you have never seen Hall Master Chi's assassination look." Li Xin'an smiled, "Chi Wenbiao, he is the best assassin in the history of our Blood Clothes Hall, and he is also the next leader of the Blood Clothes Hall that I have appointed."
"Isn't it Zhang Quan?"
"That boy is too young to be able to serve others. When he grows up, it won't be too late to become the master of the hall."
In the middle of the night, Li Xin'an woke up from his sleep and noticed someone entering the room. He instinctively grasped the sword beside his pillow.
"Master, it's me."
"Master Chi." Li Xin'an breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It's really scary, can't you just knock on the door?"
"I'm used to it." Chi Wenbiao looked a little embarrassed, "I'll definitely do it next time."
"No, I don't plan to have a next time." Li Xin'an smiled and shook his head, "Is the matter done?"
"Well, I used smoke to stun the gatekeeper monk, then lurked behind the Buddha statue, and while Du Yan was chanting sutras, I killed him with a blow dart."
"Okay, in this way, the first thing I promised him will be completed." Li Xin'an nodded, "Master Chi, there is another big thing to do tomorrow, so you can't leave yet."
Chi Wenbiao clasped his fists and said, "I will obey the order of the hall master!":
Early the next morning, the back door of Tiance Mansion quietly opened. A tall old man in civilian clothes and two servants left Luoyang City before the sun had fully risen.
The tombs of Gao Xiaotian's parents are located in the southwest of Luoyang City, close to mountains and rivers, with excellent feng shui. In the first year after Gao Xiaotian was recruited by Tiance Mansion, he moved his parents' tombs here from his hometown in Guan Nei.
Every year, Gao Xiaotian comes here three times - the anniversary of his father's death, the anniversary of his mother's death, and his own birthday.
Today is the death anniversary of his mother.
After Gao Xiaotian finished offering incense to his mother, he sat quietly for a while and then walked in the mountains. This had been his habit for many years and he would walk in the mountains for a day.
But now, there are more than a dozen killers lurking in this mountain with excellent feng shui.
Li Xin'an looked helplessly at the two women behind him, Tang Ying and Lu Qingdai, and didn't understand why these two women insisted on following them.
It's okay for Tang Ying. After all, she is a killer who came from Tushenglou. She is not a top-notch killer, but a rare expert. As for Lu Qingdai, she had clearly vowed before that she would never care about this matter, but Li Xin'an got up together this morning.
, Lu Qingdai had already packed up and was waiting for him in the yard.
"I can't let you go looking for death." Lu Qingdai's original words were this.
Li Xin'an couldn't tolerate his wild thoughts, and Gao Xiaotian's figure had already appeared in his sight.
As Gao Xiaotian got closer and closer to where he was hiding, Li Xin'an became extremely nervous. He had killed many people, but he had never killed a master of Gao Xiaotian's level.
The first one to strike was Yang Chong. He flew out from the bushes and grabbed Gao Xiaotian's head with a pair of tiger claws.
Gao Xiaotian didn't make any move, but a servant beside him easily blocked Yang Chong's move. Seeing that the attack failed, Yang Chong immediately ran away, and the servant caught up, and the two fought together.
Gao Xiaotian raised his eyebrows and said loudly: "Don't hide the rest of us, let's come together."
Li Xin'an was shocked. Did someone leak the news? Gao Xiaotian had known for a long time that someone would come to kill him?
Song Yuandao? It should be impossible. After all, when Gao Xiaotian dies, Li Xian's old faction will benefit the most. Could it be one of his own? It's impossible. Those present are all people whom Li Xin'an absolutely trusts. They will not betray him.
of.
But the situation no longer allowed Li Xin'an to think too much, and he had to make an immediate decision.
"Kill!" Li Xin'an shouted violently, and in an instant, Chi Wenbiao appeared from the darkness and struck Gao Xiaotian's face with a sword.
"Okay!" Gao Xiaotian praised, "Are you from the Blood Clothes Hall or the Tusheng Building?"
Chi Wenbiao didn't answer. No killer in the world would communicate with his target when killing someone, no matter whether he was successful or not.
Li Xin'an, Xiao Xuangan, and Tang Ying appeared one after another, and together with the other killers, they robbed and killed Gao Xiaotian.
However, Gao Xiaotian's power exceeded their expectations. After several attacks, several people were injured one after another.
"Red Blood Demon Sword, boy, are you a demon cultist?" Gao Xiaotian stared at the Red Blood Demon Sword in Xiao Xuangan's hand and asked with a frown.
"no."
"It doesn't look like it to me. You don't have that kind of bloodthirsty smell. You are holding a red blood knife, but you are not affected. You are a strange person." Gao Xiaotian looked at the young faces in front of him and said: "You are all wonderful and gorgeous people.
, all of them are leaders in the world, it’s a pity, if you have to be a killer, then I will leave you alone.”
Li Xin'an was injured in his arm and asked coldly: "You knew we would come a long time ago, who did it?"
The news you leaked?"
Gao Xiaotian shook his head and said: "No one leaked the news to me. It's just that during the years I was in Tiance Mansion, I was always thinking about someone coming to kill me. Whether it was my former enemies or those who opposed me in Tiance Mansion,
No matter what, every one of them wants to kill me, and the best time to do it is when I go out of the city to worship my parents."
"So, how many decades have you been thinking about someone coming to kill you at this moment?"
Li Xin'an burst into laughter: "I have to say, I admire you too."
Gao Xiaotian drew out his sword for the first time. The blade was broad and made after the Qin and Han Dynasties' ring-cutting saber.
The moment his sword was unsheathed, everyone present could not help but tremble with fear.
Li Xin'an has never had a life-and-death duel with Gao Xiaotian. This is his first time, and it may also be his last.
He looked at Tang Ying beside him, smiled bitterly and said, "You didn't have to come."
"It doesn't matter." Tang Ying said calmly, "Since I have made a decision, I will never regret it."
Gao Xiaotian strode forward with his sword in hand, like a huge mountain, hitting everyone heavily.
Suddenly, a figure flashed out in front of Li Xin'an. Gao Xiaotian's majestic momentum suddenly stopped, and then disappeared into thin air.
"Who are you?" Gao Xiaotian stared at the woman in white who suddenly appeared, feeling something was wrong.
"The person who wants your life."
Li Xin'an shrugged his shoulders. He was very lucky now that Lu Qingdai had come with him, otherwise, all of them would have to answer here.
"There are very few first-class women in the world. People like you..."
Gao Xiaotian said in surprise: "You are Lu——"
Before he finished speaking, Lu Qingdai's sword light had arrived.
"Okay, okay." Gao Xiaotian greeted him with a ferocious smile, "Let me give it a try, Xue Yue's swordsmanship is so powerful!"
He and Lu Qingdai were already on equal footing, but now there was interference from Li Xin'an and other killers. With more people attacking less people, Gao Xiaotian gradually became exhausted.
The two servants he brought were already dead. The two high-ranking second-grade servants were rare masters in Tiance Mansion, but they could not withstand the attack of so many people.
In the end, Gao Xiaotian was defeated.
His body was half-kneeling on the ground, and the big knife was broken. Gao Xiaotian tried hard to stand up with the broken knife, but he couldn't. He kept vomiting blood, and half of his body was stained red.
In the end, Gao Xiaotian's tall figure suddenly fell down, he died, and Li Xin'an's side also suffered a tragic victory.
"How to deal with the body?" Lu Qingdai wiped the blood on the sword and asked lightly.
"I will take care of it, just leave it alone." Li Xin'an bowed his head and said, "Thank you, Mr. Lu, for helping me!"
"I just don't want you to die in vain." Lu Qingdai turned around and returned to Luoyang City, "Also, there is no need to salute me again in the future."
As night fell, a man dressed as a Confucian scholar came to the place where Gao Xiaotian died. The place had been cleaned up, and only the faint smell of blood remaining in the air indicated everything that had happened here.
"Gao Xiaotian, Gao Xiaotian, what should I say to you?" The man beat his chest and looked very annoyed, "I told you to be careful, but you still died! What a fool!"
"I, Qibo, have worked hard for ten years, but it has just turned into nothing."
"But..." The man suddenly smiled, "That little guy did a good job. He has a little bit of his father's personality all the way."
"Li Xiang, Li Xiang, will all the things you have done for him come to light one day?"
