Half blood

Chapter 40

Li Xuan turned around and looked in the direction the groom pointed, and saw a tea shop next to the Fumen Inn, with a flag with a white background and a yellow border hanging on it, and several brown wooden tables and chairs were arranged at the gate like this, domineeringly It took up a large area in front of the Fumen Inn, and a man in white was sitting on the seat that occupied the road with his back to Li Xuan.If Li Xuan still can't recognize this figure, then he really doesn't need to come out to mess around.

Li Xuan strode over, sat on the opposite side of the table unceremoniously, with his arms crossed in front of his chest, showing a playful sneer, and said, "Long time no see, Doctor Bai, are you all right?"

Li Xuelin smiled slightly, without raising his eyes, he took a sip of tea as if Li Xuan was empty, and said, "I heard that you have been looking for me for a long time?"

Li Xuandao: "It seems that your news is strangely well-informed. I am indeed looking for you, but what I didn't expect is that you are so courageous."

Li Xuelin smiled again, and said: "Now that you have found me, do you feel the joy of 'I've been looking for him thousands of times in the crowd. Suddenly I look back, but the man is here in a dimly lit place'?"

"I'm really happy."

Li Xuelin also poured a cup of tea for Li Xuan, and said, "I can give you a chance to ask a question." Li Xuelin suddenly raised his eyes, looked at Li Xuan strangely, and said, "But I can only let you You ask one. You, think about what you want to ask."

Li Xuan was slightly stunned, he didn't like this feeling, being played in the middle of applause.Li Xuelin's approach now is actually no different from Bai Yuan's previous approach, he is the one who follows behind step by step and becomes confused.If this was a game of chess, Li Xuan would have lost everything the moment he sat in front of the chessboard, because the opponent knew everything about him, but he didn't know anything.

Li Xuan stretched out his hand to hold the teacup, drank it all in one gulp, and said: "I want to ask you a few questions, not what you say, but what I say. You are a remnant of a rebellious minister and thief, and you are not qualified to talk to me at all. condition."

"The tone is not small," Li Xuelin said, "Compared with your father, he is much more arrogant."

"I don't want to say anything to you, and I don't want to involve my father."

"Then you are expecting me to be here and catch it? You are thinking too simply." After speaking, Li Xuelin motioned Li Xuan to look around with his eyes. Li Xuan turned his eyes and saw four big men sitting at the opposite table. , they are all tall, with broad arms and round waists, which don't match the small and delicate teapot in front of the table. Each of them has a long knife hanging from their waist, and the callus on the palm of their right hand is like a You can tell by looking at it that it has been practiced martial arts all year round.

Li Xuan scanned the tea shop with his eyes, and found that three of the four tables in the tea shop were filled with people like this. He was too hasty to realize that Li Xuelin had already set up a net in the tea shop.He should have thought of it, but he didn't expect that such recklessness and recklessness would lead to the bitter fruit of recklessness and recklessness. Li Xuan's hand slowly moved towards the big knife he had placed on the chair, and this action certainly did not escape Li Xuelin. Eyes as sharp as eagle eyes but gentle and smiling.

At this time, Li Xuelin looked at Li Xuan like a hunter watching his prey struggling hopelessly in his trap, watching Li Xuan struggling like a trapped animal. "Do you think you can beat so many people by yourself?"

Li Xuandao: "How will you know if you don't try it, and who said I will fight them."

"What do you mean?"

Li Xuan lowered his head, his hand had already tightly grasped the hilt of the knife, jumped up, Li Xuan jumped up from the chair, grabbed Li Xuelin's collar, and slashed at him, saying: "To capture the thief, first capture the king. Once I catch you, no one will touch me."

The blade was touching Li Xuelin's neck, Li Xuelin looked at Li Xuan quietly, as if he was not at all afraid that his flesh and blood would flow out along the edge of the knife, "You can't kill me."

The big guys at the other tables all got up from their seats, holding the weapons in their hands, but they didn't dare to move forward, and finally formed a circle around Li Xuan and Li Xuelin after a few steps away.Li Xuan looked sideways at everyone, and asked coldly: "Whether I can kill you or not is not up to you, but the knife in my hand."

Li Xuelin smiled lightly, and said: "It takes courage to kill someone, and you, Li Xuan, don't have that courage at all."

What Li Xue said was right, Li Xuan had never killed anyone, and he didn't know if he dared to kill anyone, but now his trembling hands and his beating heart clamored to tell him—you really didn't dare.

One has to be courageous in killing people. With the sword in hand, the white knife enters and the red knife exits, splashing blood from the intestines. This kind of endurance is not for everyone, and Li Xuan is exactly the kind who can't bear it. His heart is too soft, and he can't muster up the courage to take another person's life confidently, even if the other person deserves to die.

Li Xuan wondered what Li Xuelin did wrong.From Li Xuelin's point of view, it was him who was wrong, and his father was wrong. From the beginning to the end, the throne should be given to Li Xuelin's father, but his father didn't have the emperor's life.Thinking about it this way, Li Xuan didn't want to kill Li Xuelin even more. He held Li Xuelin's collar in his hand, moved closer, and said, "Have you ever thought that I can actually make your life worse than death?"

"Is life better than death?" Li Xuelin smiled again, "You didn't want my life just now, but now you will."

"What do you mean?"

"Your chance has passed, now it's my turn, it's my turn." After speaking, Li Xuelin turned over his long sleeves, and shook the knife in Li Xuan's hand. Li Xuan fell to the ground, and his chest suddenly bulged Colic, suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood.

Li Xuelin got up, looked at Li Xuan condescendingly, and said, "You dare not kill, but I dare, and I like it very much." Then he walked up to Li Xuan in a few steps, Li Xuan spit at Li Xuelin's feet again Blood, that blood splashed on Li Xuelin's snow-white clothes all of a sudden, forming a flower. This flower was just like the smile on the corner of Li Xuelin's mouth, making people feel like a winter jasmine blooming in the snow in winter.

"I don't believe in life for life. I want you to pay back my father's life, and I want your father to pay back."

Li Xuelin's voice became more and more indistinct, but he heard every sentence clearly. Li Xuan suddenly remembered the bowl of tea he drank when he first entered the tea shop. Just like this person, beneath his flawless face lies a three-foot-frozen hatred for him, a hatred that spans bloodlines and years, and the longer it drags on, the deeper it grows in his heart.Li Xuan, who was lying on the ground, suddenly thought of a person, the person he wanted to see the most before he died, so Li Xuan moved his chapped and bruised lips, and said: "Dead people don't have secrets, I finally want to I want to ask you something..."

Li Xuelin said: "Why should I promise to tell you?"

"When I first entered the tea shop, you said that I could ask one thing."

"Okay, if you ask, I will fulfill your last wish."

"What is the truth about Su Huang's case?"

Li Xuelin burst out laughing after hearing this, "The truth about Su Huang's case?"

"Yes, I want you to tell me about it."

Li Xuelin said: "It's ridiculous. Even if you know, what can you do? Anyway, you are going to die, but I can tell you, because the dead can't speak. The truth about Su Huang's case is that the Tai | All of my father's power is as simple as that. So all those who stand on my father's side are executed, but execution requires a reason, and the reason for treason and usurpation is the best reason."

"Bai Yuan is from there?"

Li Xuelin turned around and said, "As I said, you can only ask one thing." He walked out, and when he was at the door of the tea shop, he turned back and said to Li Xuan who was lying on the ground: "People always don't know what to do." It’s wrong to be willing to believe in things you know clearly in your heart, when everything is in front of you, you should admit it instead of being a shrinking turtle.”

After finishing speaking, Li Xuelin made a gesture to the big men behind him, saying: "Be clean."

At this moment, a puff of green smoke suddenly rose from the tea shop, and a black figure descended from the sky amidst the smoke. He hugged Li Xuan who was coughing up blood, and whispered in his ear, "Your Highness... I'm sorry I'm late..."

Li Xuan said softly, "It's good that you're here..."

Several big men bumped around like headless flies in the smoke. When the smoke cleared, Li Xuan was no longer in the tea shop, only a pool of black blood left in the center of the tea shop.

A big man asked, "Master, what should we do now?"

Li Xuelin swung his sleeves, brushed off the fine dust on them, and said: "There is no cure for the poison in him, even if he escapes, he won't live long, but..."

"but what?"

"But if he is really destined, then none of us can do anything about it. After all, no one can go against God's will."
