The old man looked at Li Luo and said with a mocking smile: "You have been telling lies at a young age and your mind is cunning. Even if Luo'er saves you this time, I'm afraid you won't live long. ? "
Li Luo understood that the old man still secretly hated himself for missing Luo'er's life, so he did not refute it. He sadly replied: "Yes, it was me who killed Luo'er." After saying this, two lines of pure tears slowly flowed down.
The old man snorted coldly, closed his eyes again, and said in a cold voice: "If you don't have anything else to do, go away. If the little girl hadn't asked me to kill you, I would have killed you now."
Li Luo was distressed for a long time, and then said slowly: "Luo'er asked me to take care of my senior before he died. Luo'er has deep love and righteousness. Even if senior is an assassin, I will fulfill Luo'er's wish."
"Hmph, you are not ashamed of your words. A mere prince's palace might be able to stop me. If you reveal my whereabouts, it is up to you. I would like to see what means Prince Chun's palace of yours has up to you."
"If I want to arrest senior, I won't be here alone now. Could it be that senior is afraid that someone in the house will follow me?"
The old man was furious. He had never been so despised by someone. He had only made a promise in his life, but the other person was a child. Although he was already furious, he could not draw his sword at him. He sneered and said: "Young man with a yellow mouth, I can't change my name if I can."
If you change your surname, Duanmu will sink the boat in Kuji Ridge. If you want to arrest me, call more people to come back, so that I won’t have too much fun in killing you."
Li Luo was shocked when he heard this. Duanmu Shenzhou's name had been widely circulated among the palace guards in the past few days. In the Mid-Autumn Festival, the number of soldiers killed by this man's sword was countless, even though he was used to seeing the battlefield.
The officers and soldiers of the Dingbei Army who lived and died also changed their expressions in horror when talking about this man.
When Duanmu Shenzhou saw Li Luo's face looking shocked, Jiejie smiled strangely and said, "Have you ever heard of my name, little kid?"
Li Luo took a breath and said slowly: "I heard from the guards in the mansion that on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, they defeated the two battalions of the elite Tiger Guards and Fengwu of the Northern Army, and retreated unscathed from the hands of Master Jiekong and Master Xiao. That night, they fought
, it is said that his martial arts has reached the state of transformation, and he can enter and leave the palace as if there is no one around, so it can be said that he has the power of ghosts and gods."
Duanmu Shenzhou snorted coldly and said indifferently: "You are arrogant at the front and respectful at the back. There are many scoundrels in the Prince Hou family's palace. It is true that you are so praising me, but are you afraid of me?"
"It's natural to be afraid."
"Why don't you get out of here quickly, otherwise you won't be an eyesore here, and I'll get angry and kill you with a knife."
Li Luo replied softly: "Senior's skills are so powerful that killing me is just a piece of cake. However, I promise Luo'er that I will do my best. After senior's injury is healed, you and I will not owe each other anything."
"You don't have to provoke me. I promised that girl Luo'er won't kill you unless she kills you. As for your promise to girl Luo'er, that's between you and her and has nothing to do with me. You can go."
Seeing Duanmu Shenzhou being so stubborn, Li Luo frowned slightly and said calmly: "So it's you who are afraid of me."
Duanmu Shenzhou's eyes flashed sharply, and he said slyly: "It's a joke, I'm afraid of a child with such a dirty mouth like you!"
"Senior has killed more than a hundred guards in my palace and has a deep grudge against my palace. I will definitely seek revenge in the future. Senior insists on not wanting my help and just wants me to make up for my mistake first. I will feel guilty when we meet again in the future, so naturally I cannot kill him ruthlessly.
"
Duanmu Shenzhou was so angry that he laughed and said: "How brave. As long as I live in this world, you can come to me and see what you can do to me."
"I'm afraid I can't wait until that time. Senior's martial arts are superb, but Master Jiekong and Master Xiao are not weak either. Although senior escaped from the siege, he is now seriously injured. If he cannot be treated in time, I don't think he can last long.
He would be seriously injured and die, but unfortunately, Luo Er promised me but I have to break his promise."
Duanmu Shenzhou was furious and barely suppressed the murderous intention in his heart. Li Luo turned a blind eye and looked at Duanmu Shenzhou with clear eyes. He took out the elixir secretly taken from the palace and put it on the table in the room. He said coldly:
"This is the healing medicine I took out from the palace. There are both external and internal injuries. Senior, if you are not afraid that I will seek revenge in the future, please live until then before it is too late."
Duanmu Shenzhou's chest was heaving. He had been walking around the world for many years and was frightened by ghosts. Today, he was ridiculed by a child like this. He had already killed Li Luo based on his past temper. He was only restrained by Luo'er's words. In addition, Li Luo was still only a young man.
It is really difficult for young children to get angry, so they can only hold back their anger.
Li Luo turned around and said coldly: "Senior, please stay here to recover from your injuries. I will come back to you after the wind blows in the house and try to send you out of the house. Before your injury is healed, you must not act rashly. Zhuocheng is now full of soldiers. If you leave rashly,
The city will only expose your whereabouts. As for the future, seniors don’t have to take the promise to Luo Er to heart. People in the world are happy with their grudges. What I do now is only for Luo Er and has nothing to do with seniors. If I seek help from seniors,
If I die in the hands of senior, Luo'er will have nothing to say." After saying that, he paused slightly and said, "But if senior wants to die, then it's up to you, just let it go.
Luoer, just blame me."
Li Luo raised his feet and was about to leave when Duanmu Shenzhou said in a cold voice: "Stop!"
Li Luo turned around, looked at Duanmu Shenzhou quietly, and said, "Senior, what else can you teach me?"
Duanmu Shenzhou took a breath and said slowly: "Ji Jiang Fa, at such a young age, your mind is much better than ordinary people's. I do underestimate you."
Duanmu Shenzhou has been aloof and arrogant for half his life, and has nothing but his sword. This is a rare compliment. Li Luo smiled tiredly and said: "Senior, you are overly complimentary."
"Okay, I will follow you. If you seek revenge in the future, I will spare you three times. After three times, if you are still stubborn, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Li Luo laughed loudly and said, "It's up to you."
Duanmu Shenzhou snorted coldly and glanced at the elixirs that Li Luo put on the table. The corners of his eyes moved slightly. They were all miraculous elixirs that were hard to find in the world. Some of them were even more expensive to find. Although they were not necessarily symptomatic, they could indeed heal injuries and save lives.
, if not, considering the severity of the injuries now, even if you can survive by chance if you stay here, your martial arts skills will probably suffer a lot.
Li Luo clasped his fists and saluted like people in the world, saying: "Senior, let's cultivate for the time being. If the medicine is not enough, ask Qiuji to come to me in the front yard, and I will take care of it."
Li Luo was worried that if time passed, someone in the palace would be suspicious, so he gave Qiu Ji a few words, and hurriedly left the backyard and returned to Qingxin Tower. Avoiding Su Xue, he quietly sneaked into the room to put on his clothes and lie down. It was not until dinner time that Su Xue was discovered.
Awakening. Seeing Li Luo's demoralization, Su Xue sighed secretly, but didn't ask any more questions.
That night, Li Luo paid his respects to the Luo family and begged for Luo'er's mercy, hoping that Luo'er would be spared and would not harm the nine clans. The Luo family was closely related to each other and could not bear Li Luo's pleading, so he tried to persuade Li Luo with a few words.
Prince Chun was brought to discuss the matter, but Prince Chun didn't care. Instead, he praised Li Luo for his righteousness. Moreover, Luo'er just happened to meet him and was being used by others, so he followed Li Luo and ordered the guards in the palace to remove Luo'er's body.
He was buried in the ground and no further investigation was carried out by the Luo'er clan, thus saving Luo'er's relatives and friends. Prince Chun was also afraid that Li Luo would be upset by what he saw, so he strictly ordered the servants in the palace not to mention Luo'er's matter again and settled the matter.
Such a tense time lasted for more than half a month. During this period, Li Luo was called over several times by Prince Chun and Luo Shi. Luo Shi was worried that Li Luo would be frightened and nervous, while Prince Chun was worried that something would happen to Li Luosheng.
Li Luo was reminded that Li Luo should not be willful. Li Luo agreed and said nothing about Luo Er and Duanmu's sinking. Prince Chun did not expect that Li Luo actually hid an assassin, but he was quite annoyed by Li Luo's desolate appearance.
Because I wasn't happy about it, but it was just a matter of flesh and blood, and I thought it would gradually fade away after a while, so I let him go.
A month later, Li Luo quietly returned to the backyard. This time Qiuji changed to a cave. The entrance of the cave was behind a boulder. The vines stretched out and surrounded the entrance of the cave. If he hadn't separated it with his hands, he would never have discovered that there was something behind it.
There is another world.
The cave is about 10 feet square, with a little sunlight shining through a small stone gap on the top. The cave is quite humid. Duanmu Shenzhou sat on a big stone in the middle and looked coldly at Qiu Ji and Li Luo who came in.
Li Luo looked at Duanmu Shenzhou, his complexion was much better than a month ago, and said, "Senior, is your injury better?"
Duanmu Shenzhou nodded slowly. Although his expression was still dull and dull as before, it could be seen that it had softened a bit.
Qiuji smiled and said: "Grandpa is feeling much better. I have Brother Luo's medicine, and my injuries healed very quickly after I used it."
Duanmu Shenzhou snorted coldly, Qiuji was not afraid, and made a face, Duanmu Shenzhou just pretended not to see it. Although Qiuji was a bit dull and stupid, he had no scheming, and he obeyed Luo'er's instructions and never asked
Why did Duanmu Shenzhou get injured? He tried his best to take care of Duanmu Shenzhou and kept his promises, which is somewhat similar to Duanmu Shenzhou.
Li Luo glanced at Qiuji and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Qiuji rarely went to the front yard, and mostly tended flowers and plants in the backyard. Prince Chun had also strictly ordered no one in the house to mention Luoer again. To this day, Qiuji still doesn't know that Luoer has passed away.
The separation between life and death.
Duanmu Shenzhou said calmly: "My injury has improved a lot, and I will be fully recovered in another half a year."
"That's good. In a few months it will be the New Year's Eve. The mansion is in chaos, so I can only send senior to leave the mansion. After leaving the mansion, senior will stay on his own. After today, I will not come to the backyard again. Please take care of yourself."
Li Luo saluted and was about to leave, Duanmu Shenzhou raised his voice and called out: "Wait a minute."
"Senior, what else can you do?"
Duanmu Shenzhou stared at Li Luo and said in a cold voice: "I have traveled around the world for many years and have always had a clear distinction between grudges and grievances. Let's not mention Luo'er for now. I owe you a favor. I promise to do something for you after I recover from my injury. Then you can
The two of us have settled down."
"Aren't you ashamed," Qiuji said, shaving his chubby face, "You only helped one thing when someone saved your life, how stingy you are."
Duanmu Shenzhou flashed a cold light, Li Luo saw this and hurriedly blocked Qiuji behind him, stopped Qiuji and said: "Qiuji, don't talk nonsense." He turned to Duanmu Shenzhou and said, "Senior, don't blame me, Qiuji is young, if there is any offense,
Please be patient."
"Humph, how can I be such a petty person?" Duanmu Chenzhou felt a little angry in front of the two children. Looking at Qiu Ji who was smiling at him behind Li Luo, Duanmu Chenzhou's eyelids twitched.
Turn your head to the side and ignore Qiuji.
Li Luo said to Qiuji: "Qiuji, go out and pay attention outside. If anyone comes over, let me know immediately."
