Chapter 4, Trouble has arrived

Li Xunhuan smiled and said, "Hehe, because the burden is in your hands"

Oh, a strange name

Li Xunhuan said: "It is hard to say, but I think one hour will be enough. After one hour, shall we meet here again, how about that?"

Zha Meng laughed: "Brother Li, let's speak frankly. With you present, how could a mere black snake take that bundle away? If it were you, would you believe it?"

The color on the fierce face has changed, yet the boy in yellow eagerly asks: "But how long does the flower-seeking young man need to consider?"

Li Xunhuan smiled and said: "Not here."

Xiao Yu gazed at him quietly for a long time, then turned around and walked away with A Fei, taking long strides. Snow began to fall softly from the sky, and the world was so quiet that one could even hear the sound of snowflakes landing on the ground

As he watched the crowd disperse, Xiao Yu suddenly said, "Brother Li, the bundle is not in your possession, is it?"

Just at that moment, a bird flew across the pouring rain-soaked sky, and a splash of bird droppings fell, fortuitously landing on the scope. Xiao Yu's eyes blurred, and his finger had already pulled the trigger, missing by a hair's breadth yet resulting in a significant error.

Xiao Yu reflected on many things, recalling his past

No, no. Xiao Yu slapped his forehead and said, "The army is the name of a place in our area; I was born in the army"

Xiao Yu forced a smile, and Li Xunhuan realized that his martial arts skills were lacking, and that staying would only be a burden. Thus, he said: "Brother Li, my martial arts are indeed inadequate, but it would weigh on my conscience to leave like this. Moreover, it would be better for A Fei to follow you than to follow me"

The scene was very quiet, the sound of a pin dropping could be heard, and only the drifting snowflakes, indifferent to everyone's anger, continued as before

Li Xunhuan watched as their figures gradually disappeared in the wind and snow, gazing at the long footprints in the snow. He took out the wine flask from his waist, raised it from a distance, and said, "Friends, I toast you once more. You are young, unlike me. Do you know that I do not truly wish for you to leave? It is just that your future is bright. Following me will never bring you any benefit. I have become friends with misfortune, trouble, danger, and unhappiness. I can no longer make other friends, so be it."

Li Xunhuan said: "Oh, the army? Is it the court's troops?"

Li Xunhuan said: "In this hour, I must first find a person, the one who stole the bundle."

Li Xunhuan patted Xiao Yu's shoulder and said with a smile: "I can see that although your martial arts skills are lacking, your cunning is not bad. As long as you spend three to five years in the martial world, your skills will improve, and it will be easier for you in the future. If we have the chance to meet again, I hope we can still be friends"

Li Xunhuan smiled: "I didn't expect you to observe him so closely"

The burly man waiting for the carriage had tears welling in his eyes as he murmured, "Young master, we were doing just fine outside the pass, why must we enter? It has been ten years, have you still not forgotten her? But what will seeing her accomplish, why go through this hardship?"

Li Xunhuan said: "Yesterday in that hotel, there were three heads of the Golden Lion Escort Agency. Besides Zhuge Lei and Zhao Lao Er, there was another person, and he is the one I am looking for."

Cha Meng also did not hear clearly what Li Xunhuan said, and then spoke to Xiao Yu: "This brother, as long as you hand over that bundle to me, I will not only leave immediately, but I will also express my gratitude with a drink to help ease your worries."

The burly man driving the carriage had a grave expression and said, "I understand the young master's thoughts. I know this matter is extremely perilous; otherwise, the young master would never have allowed them to leave."

Xiao Yu and the observer carried the sniper rifle to the southern hillside, only to sadly discover that they were over two thousand meters away from the drug lord. Looking at the sniper rifle in his hand, which had an effective range of only one thousand five hundred meters, Xiao Yu could only smile bitterly.

A few days ago, the troops received a mission to locate the stronghold of a major drug lord discovered at the border. All members of the Special Forces Team Two were mobilized, including Xiao Yu. It was a relentless downpour that lasted for three days, and they arrived in Yunnan.

"I? I really didn't take it," said Xiao Yu. A Fei also affirmed, "I can prove that he really didn't take it"

Xiao Yu was taken aback, "Since you are not here, why do you say it is in your hands"

Xiao Yu was about to speak when he was interrupted by Li Xunhuan. Li Xunhuan gently stroked the wooden statue in his hand and suddenly smiled, saying: "Zha Biao Tou, you are quite right. With me present, that bundle indeed will not fall into anyone else's hands. However, I have yet to decide whether to return it to you. It would be best for you to let me think it over, how about that"

Li Xunhuan smiled, then turned and walked into the woods, where he began to cough again. The intermittent sounds of his cough gradually faded away in the wind and snow

Li Xunhuan was taken aback for a moment, but still smiled and said: "There is no banquet that does not end in this world. Sooner or later, we will have to part ways. Whether it is a few days earlier or a few days later, what difference does it make?"

However, Li Xunhuan's words were naturally no longer audible to Xiao Yu and the others

The burly man waiting for the carriage stood motionless like a statue, not uttering a word. Although he was covered in ice and snow, he remained unmoved. Li Xunhuan drained the wine from the jug, took out the wooden figure, and gently stroked it, saying: "You wait here and bury their bodies. I will return in one hour."

Li Xunhuan took the wine jar and drank it all in one go, saying: "I urge you to drink another cup of wine, to share in the eternal sorrow together." He wanted to smile, but instead bent down and began to cough incessantly.

Suddenly, Xiao Yu recalled that in Li Xunhuan's life, there had been a moment of danger, seemingly in that very forest, where she had crossed over. Some things had already changed, and it was uncertain whether Li Xunhuan might meet his demise here.

Li Xunhuan smiled and said, "Not bad"

After listening to Cha Meng, he said with a serious expression: "Since Xiao Li, the flower of the examination, debuted seven years ago, he has experienced over three hundred battles, both large and small, and has never once fled. Even now that he has retired, his words can be considered as firm as nails, with no possibility of regret." As he spoke, they had all completely vanished, and the pleasant jingling sound was already far beyond a hundred meters away.

The burly man driving the carriage lowered his head and suddenly said, "I know that Golden Lion Cha Meng's palm strength is formidable, but it is merely a hollow reputation; young master, you could take his head within ten moves." It turns out that this carriage driver was not an ordinary coachman.

Xiao Yu fell silent, then suddenly walked to the front of the carriage, took out three jars of wine from the compartment, one for each person, and said: "I, along with A Fei, would like to propose a toast to you."

Li Xunhuan lowered his head and continued to carve his wooden figure, murmuring: "You are too naive. Even if you didn't take it, they would never believe you. Sooner or later, a confrontation is inevitable. Therefore, it is better to simply admit it, to avoid the hassle of arguing with them.

Li Xunhuan frowned and sighed, saying: "Alas, I have always feared trouble the most; why does trouble always seek me out?"

On the road, the boy in yellow asked, "Chief Inspector, in half an hour, he could escape very far. Why should we take such risks? Wouldn't it be better to catch him at that moment?"

Unexpectedly, the firepower of the drug lord was extremely fierce, and even the special forces Team Two felt a sense of helplessness. Therefore, Xiao Yu received the order to search for a suitable location on the southern hillside to carry out a sniper operation

Cha Meng, without a moment's hesitation, immediately said: "Alright, I believe your words, Li Tanhua. It's a deal between us." After saying this, he waved his hand and left.

Xiao Yu suddenly said: "Are you referring to that short person wearing a floral coat, with what seems to be a soft whip wrapped around the waist, and tufts of black hair on the ears?"

At this moment, A Fei asked again, "Since a battle is inevitable sooner or later, why delay for another hour?"

The trajectory of the bullet has changed, executing a perfect spin, and it is unknown where it has gone. Xiao Yu wiped the scope and prepared for a second shot. However, in the scope, an unidentified object was approaching him, growing larger and larger, and then, Xiao Yu transcended.

Li Xunhuan smiled faintly: "Perhaps it won't even take ten moves; he is not as good as Yu Erguai." However, there was one thing Li Xunhuan did not say: Yu Erguai relies on ambush. If the two were to join forces, Li Xunhuan would not be confident, so he decided to eliminate one first

What kind of person?

Li Xunhuan glanced at the corpse of the Black Snake and said, "You have mistaken the person," then pointed at the corpse of the Black Snake, "Isn't the bundle on his body?"

Until now, Xiao Yu still could not understand what that unidentified object was, and how his comrades were doing.

The world in the snow is vastly different from usual. Xiao Yu and A Fei walk alone in the snow, pondering what they desire. Is it martial arts, wealth, power, or fame that holds greater importance? Xiao Yu cannot comprehend; he lacks a goal, unlike A Fei, who only seeks to become famous.

"A Fei, we must return; Li Xunhuan is in danger"

Xiao Yushun casually remarked: "It was something I developed during my time in the military. I only needed to take one glance, and that was sufficient."

Xiao Yu quietly looked at Li Xunhuan and said: "This is my matter, and it has nothing to do with you. Are you unwilling to accompany me because you are afraid I will hold you back?"

Positioning, speed measurement, everything is ready, Xiao Yu lacked confidence, but the hand on the trigger could not pause. Shoot

Li Xunhuan and the others crouched down to examine the corpse on the ground, inspecting the wounds of the black snake. Xiao Yu, who was completely unfamiliar with this situation, thought to himself, have these two guys also crossed over? In an era of airplanes and cannons, would their martial arts still be useful? It seems highly unlikely.

Xiao Yu remained silent, while Li Xunhuan laughed heartily and said: "I hope we will not become enemies, haha, because I truly do not wish to have an enemy like you"

Xiao Yu, a voice interrupted his contemplation, "We have basically clarified the situation. You and A Fei should leave first. This is A Fei's first venture into the martial world, so please take good care of him and do not let anyone scheme against you." Li Xunhuan said

Xiao Yu smiled faintly and said, "Are you letting me go? And then you will take the blame for me here?"

Oh my God, Xiao Yu thought, how could this happen to me? I was just here to watch the excitement, right? Moreover, there are so many people in the inn, why suspect me? Just because of that broken knife? It’s even difficult to chop vegetables with it
