Chapter 167: Driving the tiger away from the mountain
A little before.

There is still more than an hour until noon.

After leaving Fan's house, Wuzhu prepared to go to the execution ground early.

He was afraid that the plan made by Fan Jian and Chen Pingping would fail, and then Fan Xian would be in danger.

Therefore, to be on the safe side, Wu Zhu hid near the execution ground, so that if anything went wrong, he would suddenly rescue Fan Xian.

However, when Wu Zhu just walked onto the street, he saw a very familiar figure walking straight out of the city.

Wu Zhu recognized this man. He was the white-haired old man who had fought with him for hundreds of rounds in the lake outside the city a few days ago.

It was also he who cut off his arm and became a one-armed man.

With new and old grudges added together, Wu Zhu immediately followed, wanting to find an opportunity to avenge the humiliation he had suffered that day.

But Wu Zhu didn't expect that the other party not only knew that he was following him, but also deliberately led him somewhere else.

Then, the two of them started fighting fiercely.

Before, Wu Zhu had tried his best, but he was still no match for the white-haired old man. Now that one of his arms was broken, he was even more defeated.

So, he was defeated quickly.

When Wu Zhu thought that he was defeated by the white-haired old man, he would be killed on the spot.

As a result, it didn't.

……

Wu Zhu said: "Since you don't want to kill me, why did you lead me here!"

Li Chungang laughed and said, "Of course it's fun."

"Life is boring to begin with. Wouldn't it be better if we could have more fun?"

Wu Zhu said coldly: "If you don't kill me, you will definitely regret it later."

Li Chungang took a big gulp of his drink and said, "Whatever, we'll talk about the future later."

“We just need to focus on the present moment.”

Wu Zhu glanced at Li Chungang and found that there was no murderous aura on the other person, which was completely different from the last time at the lake.

In other words, what this person just said was the truth.

I really won't kill him.

This made Wu Zhu even more confused and bewildered.

He now felt that this person's behavior today was a little strange.

At this time, Li Chungang took another sip of wine, looked up at the sky, and said:

"Okay, you can go now."

"If we have time in the future, we can come and exchange martial arts again."

Although Li Chungang's movement of raising his head just now was very slight, it was still caught by Wu Zhu.

When Wuzhu also looked up at the sky, he reacted instantly.

Oops!

It's already past noon.

I don’t know whether Fan Xian has successfully escaped at this moment.

and many more! ! !

Wu Zhu suddenly thought of something, turned around, stepped back, and ran quickly.

He just reacted completely.

It turned out that the purpose of the white-haired old man leading him here today was to lure the tiger away from the mountain and not let him stay in Kyoto.

If this is the case, then something big must have happened in Kyoto City at this moment.

Maybe he came here just for Fan Xian.

Thinking of this, Wu Zhu ran even faster.

Li Chungang, who had just seen Wu Zhu leave, did not try to stop him.

Anyway, his mission is to lead this puppet to a place outside the city and then entangle it.

The rest of the matters are not his business.

Li Chungang finished the wine in his hand, pulled out the long sword from the ground and put it into his sleeve.

"I've finished the wine, and my mission is complete. I can go back and buy some wine."

"It is said that there are many more good wines in Kyoto. I can go and try them."

"Hey, this kind of life is wonderful!"

Afterwards, Li Chungang left humming a little tune.

……

After Li Chengze left the execution ground, he returned to the East Palace Hall. The three brothers changed into their previous mourning clothes and continued to stay in front of the hall to keep vigil.

After a while.

Li Chengze said to Li Chengru, "Boss, you were really awesome just now. Seeing the suspect rushing towards us, you actually went straight for him."

"Not bad, very good."

Just now, Li Chengze saw that Li Chengru was very brave and showed no fear even though he was no match for others.

Moreover, the reason why Li Chengru took action just now was not only for himself, but also to protect them.

This made Li Chengze admire him very much.

Even though the boss doesn't talk much normally, he really dares to take action if something happens.

Such people are totally worth making friends with.

"Yes, second brother is right, eldest brother is really powerful."

Li Chengping agreed with a grin.

However, Li Chengze glanced at Li Chengping and didn't say much.

The eldest brother is worth making friends with, but the third brother is not!

As soon as he saw the danger coming, he hid behind himself and Li Chengru.

Although it is inevitable to feel a little scared when encountering danger.

However, when there was danger, he hid behind others. After the matter was over, he walked out again with a swagger, not taking what had just happened seriously at all.

You can't make close friends with this kind of person. Once he encounters danger, he will sell you out.

Li Chengru waved his hand and said, "It's just a small favor."

"I'm the boss, so naturally I have to stand in front of you when you're in danger."

"Good!" Li Chengze raised his thumb and said, "Boss, you are awesome!"

"When lunch comes, I will definitely have a few more drinks with you."

"Drink..." Li Chengru thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "Okay."

……

at the same time.

In the gloomy and depressing death cell, screams rang out one after another.

In a room, Yan Xiaoyi was holding a whip and whipping the people in front of him fiercely.

As the whip hit the body, there were sounds.

Those who were beaten began to scream in pain.

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

With every whipping, the anger on Yan Xiaoyi's face began to subside a little.

He gritted his teeth and growled, "Say it or not!"

"Are you going to tell me or not?"

At this time, the man whose chest was beaten bloody, endured the pain from his body and shouted:

"I said!"

"I'll tell you everything!"

After Yan Xiaoyi heard the man's words, he stopped whipping and immediately asked:
"Then say it quickly."

"Otherwise, I will give you the most cruel form of detention."

However, the man said aggrievedly: "Sir, you haven't asked me yet."

"I…I don't know what to say."

Yan Xiaoyi was stunned for a moment before he realized that he was so busy venting his anger that he forgot to ask the question.

"Who ordered you to rob the execution ground?"

"Also, who is the man among you holding the black and white swords?"

The man replied: "Someone paid us to go to the execution ground to rescue people."

"I don't know who the other party is because he was masked the whole time."

"Moreover, people in our line of work are only responsible for doing things for money and never ask who the boss is."

"As for the man holding the black and white swords, I have even less idea."

"Because we are seeing him for the first time too!"
