Volume 3: The disputes in Mingzhou City are gone, and it is difficult to carve a rotten wood for a hundred years Chapter 264: When I met the BOSS when I went out for a group, I could only sigh that the world is dangerous.
The clouds in the sky are getting thicker and thicker. It will rain soon.
Li Si found the child working in the pancake shop outside the palace gate in Chang'an City. When he found him, the child was standing in a corner of the wall near the imperial palace, looking up at the tall palace, and no one knew what he was thinking about.
It was already night and the palace gates were closed.
Li Si smiled bitterly and sighed, then walked behind the little boy, and before he could react, he pressed his hand on the top of his head and spoke.
"What are you doing here, kid? Do you know that your mother is going crazy looking for you?"
"Ah!" The little boy was startled by the hand suddenly pressing on his head, but then he saw clearly that the person was Li Si and cried out in surprise.
"Sir, you came to see me!"
"Yeah, but didn't you promise me last time that you wouldn't run around anymore?"
Li Si pretended to be angry and pinched the boy's cheek. Although he didn't pinch hard, he still made his chubby little face turn red.
"Ouch!" The little child cried out in pain and pointed at the palace in front of him and said aggrievedly.
"I came here to chase the wild cat, but it jumped in in a flash. I couldn't get in, so I had to wait here."
"Heh." Li Si chuckled at his appearance.
"You are such a brave boy. You dared to come to the palace alone. Fortunately, you didn't go in. Do you know that trespassing into the palace is a serious crime?"
"Ah!" The little boy was startled. "That wild cat is going to be beheaded, sir, can we go save it?"
"You still have time to worry about others." Li Si patted his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"Wild cats won't be beheaded, but you will be beaten by your mother soon. Come on, come back with me."
When he heard that the wild cat would not be beheaded, the little boy's face relaxed. But when he thought that he was going to be beaten by his mother again, his face turned bitter again.
"All right."
He pouted and held Li Si's hand.
Then, as if he had thought of something, he looked at Li Si with burning eyes and asked.
"By the way, sir, I wanted to ask you last time, are you a god? I heard that only gods can be as beautiful as you, and can also go to heaven and earth."
Li Si staggered at his question and was about to tell him that there were no gods in this world.
But the next moment, his brows frowned slightly.
Because he heard the sound of fighting coming from the tightly closed palace gate.
The sound was very chaotic, with some sounds of swords clashing, some wailing and screaming, and some hurried footsteps, not loud but very clear. But after a while, all the sounds fell silent again.
Until finally, a heavy crash was heard, and the tall palace gate was broken open. A guard spitting blood flew out from inside, and fell to the ground in front of the gate along with some broken wood.
His chest was sunken, his eyes were bulging, and blood was flowing from the corners of his mouth. It was obvious that he was not going to survive.
Inside the palace gate, there were ten prisoners in prison uniforms, following a hunchbacked old man and walking out slowly.
Behind them were the corpses of the palace guards.
Li Si immediately covered the eyes of the child beside him to prevent him from seeing the appearance of the dead body.
This made Zhier confused and he asked.
"Sir, what are you doing covering my eyes?"
Li Si frowned as he looked at the eleven people who walked out of the palace. Noticing the prison uniforms they were wearing, he roughly guessed where they came from.
Most likely he is a death row prisoner who escaped from the prison.
Perhaps after a while, he patted the little boy's head and said.
"It's nothing, just a group of beggars who came to the palace to make trouble. I went to take a look and gave them some money to send them away. Don't open your eyes, these beggars are extremely ugly, with sores on their heads and pus on the soles of their feet. I'm afraid I'll scare you."
"Oh." When he heard that the person opposite him looked scary, Zhier quickly covered his eyes and said with his head down.
"Then go ahead sir, I'll wait for you here."
"Yeah." Li Si smiled and patted the child's back. He raised his head, held the rotten wood around his waist, and walked towards the palace gate slowly.
Li Si saw Gongsun Yangzhi and his group, and Gongsun Yangzhi and his group naturally also saw Li Si.
They saw a "young man" holding a sword walking towards them outside the palace gate.
Gongsun Yangzhi frowned and said to himself, "A man from the Jianghu?"
Then he glanced at the prisoner behind him and said.
"Get rid of him as soon as possible. There is still an old monster in this palace. We should not stay here for long."
"Yeah." Two of the prisoners nodded, dragging the chains in their hands, and walked towards Li Si.
Li Si looked at the prisoners who surrounded him, sighed helplessly, took out a copper coin from his arms, threw it to Gongsun Yangzhi, and said truthfully as if he was giving alms to a beggar.
"Aren't you afraid of being beheaded for making trouble like this?"
He did not say explicitly that it was the prisoners who had escaped from prison because he was afraid of scaring the young children behind him.
"Heh." Gongsun Yangzhi looked down at the copper coin thrown in front of him and asked with a sneer.
"What do you mean?"
"It's meaningless." Li Si shook his head and calmly took out another copper coin from his arms.
"I just want you to go back obediently. If you think the money is not enough, I can add another penny."
Are you humiliating me?
A trace of uncontrollable anger flashed in Gongsun Yangzhi's eyes, his face turned cold, and he shouted at the prisoners on both sides.
"Get started!"
"Kalahala..." The two prisoners who came forward said nothing, but just dragged the chains and pounced on Li Si. The chains brought up two gusts of wind that blew towards Li Si's sides.
"I wanted to go back before it rained."
With a low sigh, Li Si also threw up the copper coin in his hand.
To be honest, the martial arts of the group of people in front of him were not low, but in his eyes they were just some ordinary troubles.
After all, if they were really invincible, they would not have been thrown into the Heavenly Prison back then. What's more, their current skills seem to have not fully recovered, which can be seen from the stiffness in their breathing.
They are just eleven famous warriors, not even the best .
The coins in the sky were turning over and over, and it was hard to tell whether the rain started to fall at random by chance.
It should be the first raindrop from the dark clouds that fell and hit the copper plate, breaking into a piece of tiny water droplets.
At this time, the coin had just completed the first circle.
Li Si's hand was just grasping the hilt of the sword at his waist.
“Swish! Swish!”
There should be two flashes of blood, and the iron chain that was whipping Li Si was instantly cut into several pieces, and the two prisoners who pounced on him fell to the ground at the same time, with an unbelievable look in their eyes, looking down at the bloodstain on their chest.
It was a bloodstain that wiped out their vitality.
Blood flowed on the ground, and at the same time, the copper coin in the sky finally turned a second circle.
The front was facing upwards once again, reflecting the faint light.
Gongsun Yangzhi blinked, and then Li Si appeared in front of him.
So fast, this was his first thought, followed by severe pain in his hands and feet.
The tendons in his hands and feet were severed, and he didn't realize this until the moment before he fell to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, Li Si passed him and walked towards the remaining eight prisoners.
The gray figure dragged with the slight sound of the wind, leaving behind waves of afterimages. The blue-black sword blade was silent, exuding wisps of sword energy. The blood line brought by the edge mixed with the newly fallen raindrops, frozen in mid-air, reflecting the expression of the person inside.
When the copper plate in the sky turned for the eighth time, countless phantoms passed through it. Li Si stood in front of the broken palace gate and put away the rotten wood in his hand.
The eight prisoners who were originally standing had now fallen to the ground, with looks of trance or shock on their faces, and there was no possibility of them standing up again.
The last sight they remembered was of a sword, a man, and a fleeting glimpse.
"Dang!" The copper coin in the sky finally fell in front of Gongsun Yangzhi, making a crisp sound, and overlapped with the first copper coin thrown by Li Si.
With the front side facing up, the four big characters "Tang Yuan Tong Bao" are displayed.
"Wow!" Heavy rain fell at the same time, soaking everyone's clothes and washing away the blood stains on the ground.
Everything is over. Li Si slowly walked back to Zhier, took off one of his clothes, covered his head with it and said.
"Okay, the beggar has left, let's go back too."
"Yeah." The child pulled at the clothes covering his head, revealing his face. He did not turn around to look at the palace gate, but looked up at Li Si and continued to ask.
"Sir, you haven't told me yet, are you a god?"
"Haha." Li Si smiled bitterly, reached out and patted him on the back of the head, and cursed with a smile.
"Nonsense, there are no gods in this world."
As he said this, he picked up the child and disappeared into the street.
Until this moment, Gongsun Yangzhi was still lying there in a daze. He was not dead, he just felt it was ridiculous.
Yes, how ridiculous it was, eleven famous masters, just left the palace and were chopped down to the ground.
It's ridiculous that I still want to stir up some kind of storm...
Gongsun Yangzhi stared blankly at the two copper coins on the ground. After a long time, he forced an indescribable smile on his face and looked up at the heavy rain in the sky.
However, this is what the world of Jianghu looks like, isn’t it? Such an absurd absurdity... "Jianghu." He opened his mouth and gently uttered these two words.
No one heard what he was reading, and no one asked.
Only he himself knew that what he was reciting was a joke.
Even if we laugh at him till the end, no one can remember his name. Even if we laugh at the whole world, in the end, it is nothing.
When the guards in the palace learned that the Heavenly Prison had been broken into and rushed over after hearing the news, the riot in front of the palace gate had already been quelled.
Lying on the ground were the escaped prisoners and an unknown old man.
While cleaning up the debris, a guard found two copper coins on the ground. He looked around and saw that no one had noticed them, so he quickly picked up the two copper coins and put them in his arms.
Hehe, I have some extra money for wine in the evening, and I can also buy a plate of fennel beans.
