Although most of us live in comfort, it does not mean that this is a comfortable world. Some struggles are not happening around us, and some struggles are invisible to us even if they are around us. Jianghu is a world where devils and angels coexist, full of contradictions and fun, and sometimes tragic and cruel.
Saying goodbye to Gillian and Chen Pi, Li Muye knew that the only way to make this safe passage truly safe was to make all the insiders disappear except the user. Chen Pi and Gillian have been at ease for eighteen years. From the moment Li Muye took Bai Xinyue into the Hall of Rejuvenation, the world has prepared a home for them.
If you choose the romance of Jianghu, you have to learn to adapt to its cold cruelty.
Flying from the cold and cold Southern Hemisphere to the Northern Hemisphere in midsummer. As soon as Li Muye got off the plane, he took Bai Xinyue to the beautiful Lake Zurich area regardless of tiredness.
The pier on the lake is full of yachts of all kinds, just like a rich people's club. The end of Lake Zurich is deep into the city center. White swans and wild ducks can be seen everywhere on the lake, creating a leisurely and harmonious scene. The north shore of Lake Zurich is where the wealthy live and is known as the Golden Shore, while the south shore is called the Silver Shore.
Highly recommended, it’s really good and worth installing. After all, there are many sources of books, complete books, and fast updates!
This is a bar with an elegant environment, a slow atmosphere and rhythm, and the mellow aroma of whiskey is accompanied by the melodious saxophone.
Li Muye walked to the bar with Bai Xinyue on his back, and smiled at the short, stocky, middle-aged Chinese man with long, shiny black hair inside: "Do you have any Chinese medicine?"
The middle-aged man's expression changed slightly. He paused in wiping the bottle, then quickly returned to normal. He nodded and asked, "What do you want?"
Li Muye said: "I want angelica and astragalus."
The middle-aged man pursed his lips slightly and said, "Where are the guests coming from?"
Li Muye said: "The south wind blows. I bought tangerine peel and donkey-hide gelatin first and then came here."
The middle-aged man nodded and said, "Wait a moment, you two. Let me explain. Let's go to the back and chat slowly."
Li Muye looked at his trembling hands behind his back and nodded calmly: "Okay."
backyard.
"Which city in North America are you two going to?" the middle-aged man asked with a kind and friendly smile on his face.
Li Muye said: "New York, Chicago, any eastern city will do."
The middle-aged man nodded and said, "I understand, don't worry, I will make arrangements as soon as possible." He turned around and left.
"Brother Huang, stay here." Li Muye stopped him and asked, "Brother Huang, what are your next plans after finishing here?"
This man's name was Huang Qi. He frowned and said, "Sir, I'm here to borrow some money. Just follow Huang's arrangements. Why ask so many questions."
"Just asking." Li Muye withdrew his uncomfortable gaze and said, "Brother Huang, please make arrangements."
Huang Qi said politely: "You two have a good rest here for a few hours. I have sent someone to clean the room and replace the supplies with new ones. I will come back and send you two on your way when I have arranged the route."
Li Muye said with a smile: "No need, we can just wait in the bar."
Huang Qi was very polite: "We are tired from the journey. There is a bed in the room inside, which can relieve our fatigue. After all, the two of us have to fly across the Atlantic Ocean next."
Li Muye waved his hand and said, "Brother Huang, you're welcome. I want to go up front and have a drink."
Huang Qi looked at Bai Xinyue and said, "Then let the children rest in the room."
Li Muye flatly refused: "She is with me."
Huang Qi no longer insisted, nodded and said: "In that case, please do as you like."
There were not many customers in the bar, and the saxophone player was a black man who was blind and fat, but he performed the song "Rivers of Babylon" in a soulful and graceful way, which directly touched people's hearts.
The rich and full sound quality and the graceful and gorgeous skills express the deep feelings in the heart like flowing water. A white lady's eyes filled with tears when she heard this, and she recited along with the music in an affectionate tone: River of Babylon, you flow quietly, the night is so peaceful, but how could you know that right next to you, we are being persecuted? How desolate it is to be a stranger, may the Holy One know our thoughts, our prayers and meditations...
As soon as the door of the bar opened, a middle-aged man with black beard, black hair and yellow skin walked in side by side with a young man with long brown hair and dressed in Indian monk clothes. The two of them walked straight to the bar, ordered a bottle of wine and two glasses, and found a table to sit down, sipping wine and listening to music.
Li Muye and Bai Xinyue sat in the corner and ordered a bottle of tequila and a drink. Bai Xinyue wrote quietly on the table: There is a problem between these two people.
"Yes." Li Muye nodded and wrote on the table with his finger: It doesn't matter, I have everything.
What I am more worried about is that there is something wrong with the astragalus.
Li Muye responded with a smile and wrote: Don't worry, there must be something wrong with him.
Then you still won’t leave? Bai Xinyue looked over anxiously.
Li Muye grabbed her with his big hand and wrote on the palm of his hand: Don't worry, I will take care of everything.
Six words, a promise.
Bai Xinyue stared at Li Muye steadily, finally lowered her head and wrote on the palm of her hand: Thank you.
Another customer came to the bar. A tall black man walked in wearing a cape that was inconsistent with the season. This man had a pair of huge copper rings hanging on his ears. He looked so conspicuous that it was easy for people to ignore him. The colorfully patterned dagger on his waist.
The black man walked in, followed by three white men. The old one has white hair and deep blue eyes. The two middle-aged men were twins, with funny smiles on their faces and frivolous movements. There was a crow standing on the shoulder of one of them, while the other one had been looking at the other people in the bar playfully since he entered the door. He looked at almost everyone carefully, but when he saw the table of Li Muye and Bai Xinyue, he jumped over.
After a while, a middle-aged man with black hair, blue eyes, and a hand-made tailored suit walked in holding an umbrella. First, he stood at the door and looked around, nodding slightly whenever he made eye contact with someone, and finally walked straight to Li Muye's table.
The middle-aged man hung the umbrella on his left forearm, bowed slightly, and asked, "Sorry to excuse you, is this Mr. Li Muye?"
"No." Li Muye replied in Chinese.
The middle-aged man smiled and said: "Mr. Li has a great sense of humor, but to borrow an old Chinese saying, if you don't tell lies in front of real people, you are not a bachelor."
Li Muye noticed that the handle of his umbrella was made of gold with an S engraved on it, and that his straight suit had a family emblem in the shape of the letter K pinned to it. The former represents his level of strength, while the latter indicates that he is a core elder-level member of the Imperial Alliance.
"We Chinese also have an old saying: we don't gossip with idiots who know what they're talking about." Li Muye said coldly.
The middle-aged man frowned: "Mr. Li, you have insulted a noble gentleman in a very uncultured manner. I am ashamed of your words and deeds."
Li Muye calmly said: "Your Excellency, you are very good at pretending to be educated, but educated people usually don't take the initiative to disturb others. Just be direct about what you want to do. Don't show him this hypocritical nobleman in front of me. Fan'er, no matter how much you pretend, you can't hide the smell of a bandit in you. You've become a bitch and still want to build a memorial arch. Damn you, the imperial power alliance!"
The middle-aged man slammed his umbrella on the ground, took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and said: "Mr. Li, you are very unfriendly and uneducated. The reason why I still communicate with you in this way is Because I hope to solve your and my problems in a peaceful way." He pointed at Bai Xinyue and said: "The current situation is that someone has offered her a high price that we cannot refuse, and we are determined to win, so no matter what you do No matter what choice we make, we will take her away."
"It seems we have reached an agreement." Li Muye spread his hands and said, "Let's save the nonsense for later. Just do whatever you want to do."
"Mr. Li, I don't like to solve problems in this way." The middle-aged man continued in an authentic London accent: "I heard that you are a smart man, so I hope to solve disputes in a smart way. She is the heir of Baiyuntang, and Mr. Anasayev of Eastern Siberia does not like to accept the nominal control of Baiyuntang. If you hand her over to me, Mr. Huang of Nanhaimen and Taiping Association will be very satisfied. We Her Royal Highness the Princess will also hold the same opinion on this."
Bai Xinyue sat there quietly and listened, looking very calm. In fact, her small hand had unknowingly squeezed Li Muye's big hand.
"She is my daughter." Li Muye said: "If you want to take her away, you have to cut off my head first. If you don't have this determination, just get away from me."
"It's not that difficult!"
Before the middle-aged man finished speaking, he suddenly pulled out a long, narrow and sharp sword from his umbrella, pointed it at Li Muye's throat and stabbed it viciously. He had been so kind before, but when he moved his hands, he was vicious and ruthless, stabbing Li Muye with his sword like a poisonous snake. There is absolutely no mercy at all.
Li Muye had already held the tiger bone blade in his hand. The moment the opponent made a move, his heart beat violently, and the sound of the muscles and bones exploding all over his body was clear to his ears. He didn't even have to look at his movements, but Li Muye already knew that he was going to make a move. The tiger dragon bone blade appeared accurately on the trajectory of the long sword's thrust, and it was swept lightly.
The tiger dragon's bone blade is short, and the long sword is not made of ordinary steel. Comparing the two, the strength seems obvious. The middle-aged man stabbed down unswervingly, and suddenly felt a light touch in his hand. The tiger dragon bone blade cut off the long sword and followed the long sword to his hand. He decisively abandoned his sword and retreated. His movements were so fast that Li Muye couldn't keep up. He watched him retreat three steps away. He quickly turned his palms and took out a wax pill from his sleeve. Silvery white mist erupted from his hand. The paralysis needle is hidden inside and attacks the middle-aged man at the same time.
The middle-aged man was caught off guard, but his reaction was extremely fast, and his movement speed was definitely not comparable to that of ordinary fighting masters. In a hurry, he rolled backwards and stood up before Li Muye chased him and attacked. The sword is weatherproof. The first thing you do when you stand up is straighten your hair and then dust yourself off. Finally, he became angry and shouted: "Do it!"
With a bang, the fire lit up, and it was the tall black man who was the first to attack. As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, this guy stood up from the chair first. Halfway through, his whole body suddenly burst into flames and was bathed in the firelight. , the gods and demons came towards Li Muye... (End of this chapter)
