Chapter 171: Death, death, courage
"hiss……"
Li Huai covered his chest, took a deep breath, and then quickly calmed down.
"Is this the seventeenth time? It doesn't seem to hurt much anymore, but having said that, even if I have a lot of tricks, I can't stand such a wasteful method, and the cost of trial and error is too high. Slowly
It's full of blood! But the problem is, that assassin is really difficult to deal with, and even the masters can't guard against it!"
Recalling the retrospective scenes just a dozen times, Li Huai couldn't help but feel his heart beat.
Die, die, die...
He lowered his head and was hit in the head;
Climbing out of the car, his chest was penetrated by arrows coming from two directions;
He ran hard, but fell into a trap and was stabbed through the chest with a sword;
…
There were so many ways to die that he felt like he was walking on the streets of Yanan, as if every passerby could kill him.
Even though I have become somewhat accustomed to the pain, I still can't help but feel heart palpitations when I think back to those scenes.
"Although there is a little gain, it is that I am a bit brave and seem to take life and death lightly, which shows that I have the courage..."
He sighed and shook his head, then raised his chin at a forty-five degree angle, making an expression of compassion.
"How shameless? Didn't you discover that you can automatically trigger a traceback before death? I'm warning you, if the slot is gone, this service will no longer be available! 1 slot!"
People around him who were about to get on the carriage stopped one after another. They all noticed Li Huai's expression and changes.
When others were about to ask, Li Huai waved his hand and said, "No, I guess I didn't sleep well yesterday and I caught a cold."
When the people around heard this, they felt relieved and at the same time expressed concern.
"Master Hou, please take care of your health! You are the backbone of our mansion!"
"Yes, especially in this current situation, I cannot do without you!"
"Yes, what you are carrying on your shoulders is the safety of the country and the country!"
These words of concern were spoken with genuine sincerity.
But Li Wu, the scholar who came with him, rolled his eyes and said: "My Lord, I don't understand the safety of this country, but I know that your body and bones are the number one, so you can't be careless.
!”
When the others heard this, they were startled, and their eyes changed when they looked at the book boy.
What a master!
Li Huai didn't pay attention to the "intrigue" among the people, but listened and waited quietly for a while in front of the carriage.
When Li Wu came over to ask in confusion, Li Huaicai smiled and said: "I'm waiting for a friend here. He will escort us to the palace."
Qiao Qi frowned slightly, but said nothing. Then he moved his ears slightly and looked towards the corner of the street——
Then I saw a young man slowly walking over.
This man was wearing coarse linen clothes and holding an iron sword, and he walked over slowly.
Seeing his appearance, Qiao Qi and many of the guards became nervous and immediately took a defensive posture.
"There is no need for this. This brother Li is the one I invited to help." Li Huai waved his hand, then took the initiative to greet him, cupped his hands and said, "It is really a great blessing to have brother Li help me."
"The Lord's words are serious." The young man shook his head, "I will come here, firstly, because Wei Shao and I have a good friendship, and secondly, because I admire the Lord's conduct." After the words fell, he did not say much.
Hearing these words, the scholar Li Wu tasted a hint of disrespect and wanted to speak out.
But before the boy could speak, Li Huai smiled and said: "Brother Li, I asked you to come here this time because I expected that the journey would be uneventful, but I had to go. Besides, I wasn't afraid to reveal it to you. This time I went to the palace.
I still want to keep a low profile, so I can’t make a big splash, so after thinking about it, I can only ask you to help me, but..."
The young man nodded and said calmly: "Master Hou, there is no need to make it so clear. Now that I am here, I will protect you. As long as I am here, there will definitely be no accidents." There was a hint of emotion in his words.
arrogant.
Even Li Wu, who was slightly dissatisfied, was surprised and felt a sense of confidence from these words.
I believe you are evil!
Li Huai shouted in his heart, if you were so powerful, how could I have been penetrated so many times?
It was just the previous dozen times that he had experienced the young man's superb skills, and knew that he could only rely on this person at the critical moment, so he smiled and said: "I trust Brother Li, but the assassin wants to come.
He's not an ordinary person. It's easy to dodge open guns and hard to defend against hidden arrows. The other party may be well prepared. How about this, Brother Li and I ride in the same car..."
When he said this, he immediately turned to Li Wu and Qiao Qi and said, "You must have no objections!"
This sudden sentence choked the words of dissuasion that the two of them almost blurted out in their throats. Both of their faces turned red from holding back, but after noticing Li Huai's serious tone, they both closed their mouths sensibly.
But there was a lot of awe in my heart, as if Li Huai could actually see through my own thoughts!
Li Huai couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. The previous two times, it was because of his inattention that he asked Li Wu to say something like "How can the Lord's body of thousands of gold ride with Cao Mang?" As a result, the young man surnamed Li was dissatisfied and did not ride with him.
;
Later, he looked back and found out that he blocked the unlucky kid from Li Wu. As a result, the problem with Qiao Qi was eliminated. The head of the nursing home said dissatisfiedly, "The safety of the Lord is our responsibility. We must not let others get close to us." As a result,
Young man Li was also dissatisfied and did not ride with him.
This time...
After stopping the two servants, Li Huai looked at the young man again.
"There is no need for this." The young man surnamed Li shook his head gently, "The prince is a noble person, and Mr. Li is a wild man in the mountains. We cannot ride together." Then he looked around, "As for the guard matter, since I agreed,
It will not cause harm to the king and prince, in this regard, a certain family still has some confidence."
"..."
Li Huai was silent for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay, since you insist, that's it. But I have to remind you that the assassin may not be alone. Brother Li had better pay more attention to his surroundings..."
The young man nodded and walked aside. He didn't know if he had taken Li Huai's words to heart.
Faced with such a situation, Li Huai could only sigh, because there was a time when he recalled that he had forced this young man to act, and in the end the man actually left without saying goodbye.
"In the final analysis, although this person is very polite to me, he doesn't necessarily really admire me. And judging from the previous conversations, this person may feel that I still have some ability in planning, but when it comes to fights and group fights,
It's not as good as him, so I don't take it seriously. Alas, it seems that this time, I have to predict it again, and it will have to be stuck. Otherwise, if it is slightly different and the position is wrong, it will be a tragedy!"
With this thought in mind, Li Huai raised his head and glanced at the sun, then asked the time. He was surprised to realize that it was almost time, so he urged the carriages and horses to get on the road quickly, while he quickly picked up a book and pretended to be as he had done several times before.
It looks like you are reading, but in fact you are seeing in all directions and listening in all directions.
After leaving the Hou Mansion and reaching a corner, Li Huai suddenly threw the book away and pounced forward!
puff!
Chapter completed!
