Chapter 0003: Swordsmanship? Sorcery?
"Sister Tang, aren't you cold? Compared to the golden silk armor, what you should really be doing is taking off their cotton clothes!" Li Mu helplessly glanced at Tang Ruoyou, this foolish girl could never distinguish between what is important and what is not
Tang Ruoyou resembles the bright moon hanging in the night sky, captivating the attention of all.
"What kind of sorcery are you using, kid?" Zhuge Lei asked, his face pale and trembling, unable to comprehend what had just happened
Li Mu, feeling powerless to complain, lowered his voice and said, "Stay calm, I am here!"
Tang Ruoyou, unable to contain her feelings, leaned closer to Li Mu and whispered, "Li Xiaobai, can you be more reliable? At this rate, if I don't wait for Li Xunhuan, I'm done for! Their gazes are so terrifying; I feel as if I'm wearing nothing at all!"
Are you even capable of doing this!" Tang Ruoyou mumbled, pressing closer to Li Mu, as only in this way could she grasp a trace of warmth and a sense of security
The eyes of the wandering heroes gazed at her as if they were about to swallow her whole
The door curtain was lifted, and a burly man with a thick beard entered alongside a handsome middle-aged gentleman.
However, although the hammer is small, it is sufficient to deliver a fatal blow
Zhuge Lei swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and a bitter smile squeezed out from his ugly face: "Young hero, do not act impulsively, we can discuss matters, I have gold on me..."
Without waiting for Li Mu and Tang Ruoyou to discuss the next strategy
Tang Ruoyou has fair skin and wears exquisite makeup, and even though she has goosebumps all over her body, it does not hinder her from exuding captivating charm
What the hell
Do not stand so close, Li Xunhuan may appear at any moment. If he sees this scene, do not expect to have any offspring with him!" Li Mu subtly shifted his body.
Tang Ruoyou's face lost all color, and she suddenly grasped Li Mu's arm tightly
But at this moment, no one was paying attention to her any longer
Although the abilities in the list of "Golden Fingers" may be considered useless, their value is unequivocally genuine
This is a lifelong lesson
On the surface, it appears to be swordsmanship, but in reality, it is the power of rules
In ancient times, being dressed like this was almost equivalent to wearing nothing at all
In the inn
The silver was thrown over by Zhuge Lei, and his life of licking blood from the edge of a knife has led him to believe that he is very perceptive in judging people
The two individuals maintained the same posture as Zhuge Lei, kneeling on one knee with both hands raised high. Their faces were contorted, expressions filled with horror, wanting to struggle, yet it was as if they were frozen in place, unable to move at all
Li Mu tightened his grip on the Qinglian Sword and said, "Zhuge Lei, your offer is too low!"
He drew a small iron hammer from his waist and tentatively gestured towards Zhuge Lei's temple.
Upon entering the world of Li Xunhuan, her fate was no longer in her own hands. Although Li Mu was forcing her to complete such a humiliating task, the only person she could rely on was Li Mu
... ...
The burly man with a long beard said while walking: "Young master, please rest for a moment, I will go arrange the guest rooms"
Zhuge Lei was furious: "You little brat, are you seeking death!"
As the cold wind blew, Tang Ruoyou couldn't help but shiver; having grown accustomed to the warm winters and cool summers of the technological world, she had never endured such hardship before
"It is not sorcery, it is swordsmanship!" Li Mu corrected each word with emphasis
That young man, sell me the bundle and the sword, and let that young lady come over to join us for a couple of drinks
The renowned "Swift Wind Sword" Zhuge Lei of the Golden Lion Escort Bureau considered his greatest achievement to be the encounter with the "Four Tigers of Taihang" at the foot of the Taihang Mountains. At that time, the Four Tigers of Taihang stated, "As long as you, Zhuge Lei, crawl around on the ground, we brothers will immediately let you pass through the mountains. Otherwise, not only will we keep this batch of red goods, but we will also take your head." However, before the knife could fall, your sword had already pierced their throats
He sighed softly, thinking that if Tang Ruoyou were the heroine, in such a situation, Li Xunhuan would definitely appear in time to save the beauty, and then Tang Ruoyou would offer herself in gratitude. Subsequently, the two would happily unite in marriage, have children early, and finally... he would successfully complete his mission
She does not wish to face this terrifying world alone
Tang Ruoyou's tears were about to overflow; she felt cold and frightened, suddenly realizing how bitter her life was. Stubbornly, she refused to approach Li Mu and quietly questioned, "Why not wait for Li Xunhuan on the road leading from the outside to the inside of the pass? Why come to this filthy place?"
He was prepared to kill, but he did not expect it to come so quickly
What one fears is what comes to pass
At that moment, Zhuge Lei's sword was less than three feet away from Li Mu's throat
Dong!
Li Mu coughed heavily, interrupting Tang Ruoyou, and shot her a fierce glare, idiot, this is his life-saving skill, if he reveals it and becomes targeted, how can he survive
Behind Zhuge Lei stood Zhao Lao Er from the Golden Lion Escort Agency and another escort.
Tang Ruoyou was taken aback for a moment, and then quickly understood, sheepishly sticking out her tongue
"I am not sure which path Li Xunhuan will take?" Li Mu glanced at her and said, "Moreover, the crossing point must be set in a specific location."
Li Mu cast him a glance
Li Xunhuan did not appear
Li Mu cannot use a sword
... ...
"You little brat, there is a path to heaven that you refuse to take, yet you barge into hell without invitation. Today, I, Grandpa Zhuge, shall send you on your way". Zhuge Lei, in a fit of rage, drew his sword and charged forward
Upon seeing Li Xunhuan's handsome face, Li Mu nearly spat out a mouthful of old blood!
At this moment, Li Jing possessed him
Tang Ruoyou selectively forgot that the wish of bearing Li Xunhuan's child was one she had made
The temperature suddenly dropped, and the two individuals silently merged into the world of "Little Li Flying Dagger"
Li Mu's sword struck before him
Look at the sword
When Li Mu's sword came crashing down, he suddenly dropped the sword he was thrusting forward, knelt on one leg before Li Mu, and raised both hands high, pinching the sword's edge.
Where am I
Li Mu narrates his life story in a leisurely manner, unlike Tang Ruoyou, as he has meticulously studied the original work and analyzed the character of each individual
Laughter echoed from all directions, and the way the people around looked at Zhuge Lei had already changed.
MMP !
Is further investigation still necessary
There will be no trouble
Tang Ruoyou let out a gentle sigh, and Li Mu's calm demeanor slightly eased her anxious feelings
Customers may carry no more than 1 kilogram of external items, while the weight that an intern dream-weaver can carry during their journey must not exceed 4 kilograms. In order to carry more items, Li Mu has selected lightweight objects.
It is a pity about that young lady, as beautiful as a flower and as precious as jade
Why did I come to retrieve the sword
The arrogant weakling will only meet a quicker demise
In the world of Gu Long's martial arts, beauty is the source of trouble
In less than a minute since Tang Ruoyou appeared, the man's gaze in the inn had already scanned her countless times.
to draw one's sword to help
Now
Since we have taken action, we must of course exercise collective control
Being completely unarmed against bladed weapons is a 100% risk; he had long been prepared with a backup plan. The hammer is not large, featuring a rubber handle and an octagonal carbon steel head, with a total weight of approximately 1 kilogram.
Li Mu glanced at the entrance of the inn
Li Mu and the other person had frail physiques, their breathing was irregular and lacked rhythm, clearly resembling two untrained, plump sheep.
His throat has already been pierced
Why maintain the same posture as Zhuge Lei
Boom
Glancing at the clothes worn by Zhuge Lei and the others, Tang Ruoyou frowned and disdainfully said, "I would rather freeze to death than wear these filthy men's clothes, ah-choo!"
But everyone knows that it is not acting
If there are no unforeseen circumstances
Cough!
Over the years, they have encountered many young gentlemen who, having little knowledge of the world, venture out into society after learning a few rudimentary skills. Their fates are often quite tragic.
Not to mention that Tang Ruoyou comes from a wealthy background, she places even greater emphasis on her personal care
The power of rules is not something that can be resisted by human strength
The weather was extremely cold, yet sweat gushed from Zhuge Lei's face like a spring, and the sensation of teetering on the edge of death was far from pleasant
This is Li Mu's first time taking a client through, equipped with two subpar skills
Despicable man
不！
But in the next second, Zhuge Lei could no longer smile
Otherwise, if Zhao Lao Er intervenes from the side, he would surely be doomed
NPC
Given the nature of the characters in Gu Long's martial arts world, it would be quite remarkable if they did not deceive you
Why must I always maintain the posture of receiving the sword
Most people's attention remains focused on Li Mu and the kneeling Zhuge Lei and others
The hammer moved back and forth between the temple and the crown of the head, while Zhuge Lei's eyes darted around, his expression filled with evident fear
A crisp sound echoed as a small silver coin was tossed onto Li Mu's desk
Would you like to come and clean the floor
The events unfolding before my eyes are too strange
Li Mu raised his sword above his head
Li Mu was speechless and no longer paid attention to this foolish woman
"You can be cured if you are sick, but if I am sick, we both must die." Li Mu cautiously surveyed the martial artists in the inn, armed with knives and swords, and decisively rejected Tang Ruoyou.
Tang Ruoyou stared wide-eyed in surprise and blurted out: "One hundred percent being ... ... "
Tang Ruoyou shot a glare at Li Mu, wanting to retort but at a loss for words.
"Do you know me?" Zhuge Lei was taken aback
He must first instill strong confidence in Tang Ruoyou in order to help her achieve her dreams, so that she can trust him unreservedly and follow his arrangements
"Are you investigating me?" Zhuge Lei's expression darkened as he questioned, "Kid, who sent you here?"
Tang Ruoyou smiled, and in the gray inn, her smile resembled a blooming rose
Otherwise, who would bother to pay attention to you
Li Mu is dressed in the style of the Ming Dynasty
What is even more disastrous is Zhao Laor Er and another bodyguard
Shouldn't it be his sword that pierces this damned brat's throat
Just at this moment
Neither arriving early nor late, yet specifically waiting until he takes action to come!
However, Tang Ruoyou was completely out of sync with the entire world, disrupting his rhythm entirely
So bizarre that they have exceeded everyone's understanding, resembling the performance of the noble son in collaboration with Zhuge Lei and his two companions!
Gudong
She only remembered the two different faces of Li Mu before and after signing the contract
Tang Ruoyou involuntarily glanced at Li Mu's cotton jacket, hugging her arms and shivering as she said: "Li Xiaobai, I am your client, won't you give me the cotton jacket? If I catch a cold, you won't be able to complete your task!"
How wonderful it would be to arrive a bit earlier, I have already arranged the plot of the hero saving the beauty!
He still needs to take action
Who am I
Not only must he ensure his own safety, but he must also protect his clients and complete the task, appearing as steady as an old dog on the outside, while feeling extremely anxious on the inside
However, is it swordsmanship to completely disarm an opponent with bare hands
The people coming and going seemed to be frozen in time, all stunned by the strange scene before them
It is merely to reassure the client
Modern makeup techniques and skincare methods can completely allow a woman to radiate ultimate beauty
Li Mu felt somewhat conflicted upon arriving in the martial arts world
Two taels of silver, merely an excuse
Zhuge Lei is just the chicken that is shown to the monkey
Moreover, it is done in such a shameful manner
Li Mu shouted loudly, and the Qinglian Sword was suddenly raised high.
However, more people had eyes filled with mockery; the eyes of these individuals from the underworld were sharp and discerning, having long seen through the essence of Li Mu and his companion as nothing more than two weaklings
The people around automatically entered a mode of watching the show, as similar events have occurred too frequently, and they have long since become accustomed to it
Everyone seemed to foresee the tragic fate of Li Mu and the other person, yet no one intervened. It was not worth opposing Zhuge Lei for the sake of two strangers.
Li Mu tilted his head, let out a long sigh, and mocked, "If nothing unexpected happens, this matter should be enough for you to boast about for a lifetime"
Without a modern heating system, the temperature in the frontier inn is approximately minus seven to eight degrees
Unfortunately, all assumptions are based on the premise that Tang Ruoyou is the female lead
Tang Ruoyou leaned closer to Li Mu, poked him in the lower back, and whispered in his ear: "The golden silk armor is on him; should we snatch it away? It's a life-saving artifact!"
Zhuge Lei's lips curled into a faint, disdainful smile, fool, unable to even wield a sword
In the wilderness, if one is to slaughter, then so be it
The five-minute isolation period is intended for communication with clients and discussing strategies, but it has now been completely wasted
Pfft
It is one thing for Zhuge Lei to receive the sword, but they clearly did not receive anything at all
... ...
The charcoal in the small stove burns, emitting a series of crackling sounds, yet the feeble heat it radiates is utterly insufficient to sustain the heating of the entire inn
... ...
