Imperial capital.
In the old street, Yao Dou is now in charge of the restaurant that lost its manager.
Dong Ao doesn't even go to the martial arts school very often. Every day he comes to the restaurant and opens the door, waiting for the "manager Jing", who never seems to come back. Occasionally, he sits on the threshold, holding a bowl of light wine that people in the old street can never drink enough. After tasting Dong Ao on his back for several times, he thinks that this kind of tasteless and tasteless wine is not his own taste at all. Gradually Lost interest, just in the hand, do not know what is thinking.
Today's old streets, although there are still some popular, but it is much colder than before.
There was no girl in black who had a straight face all day, and aunt Lu, who had a gentle smile and was plump and moving. The sound of tapping iron in the alley never sounded again, and Lu Xianzhi and the mysterious young man playing chess at the corner of the street also lost their trace.
The shopkeeper Jing in the wine shop went to the horizon one by one. Even Gu Haoran, who often set up a shabby stall and full of lies, never came back.
In addition to the hospital in the deepest part of the old street, it seems that there are only a few people left in the "neighborhood" of the whole street.
Whoa.
Thinking of things in his mind, Yao Dou's strength in his hands was great, and half a bowl of wine was spilled on the ground, which awakened him from that state of thinking.
Looking at the water mark on the ground, Yao Dou shook his head and stood up with the door frame. He was about to enter the restaurant when a voice came out from behind, "closing the door?"
"The strong!"
Yao Dou's body tensed instantly, and his arm holding the wine bowl suddenly stabilized, making the rest of the wine level as quiet as a mirror.
Almost even for a moment, he entered the state of preparation for the war. Instead of turning around immediately, he thought quickly.
Can quietly appear behind him, and before that he did not notice that the other side must be a master.
And he's the kind of master he can't deal with.
"Do you want to call Lao Dong?"
"Call for help now. Old Dong should come soon."
"Shame, but it's better than losing your life."
Yao Dou's thoughts turned one after another.
He didn't think about other possibilities. With his understanding, such a powerful master suddenly appeared in the old street where the birds didn't poop. How could he have a good intention?
If it was not for the strength gap between the two sides, Yao Dou would almost immediately return to attack.
"If you don't close the door, give me a pot of bar."
Just as Yao Dou was ready to shout for help, the voice rang again. This time, Yao Dou heard the real footsteps.
When the figure passed him, he looked at it with the rest of his light, but he saw a face that he had never thought of.
"Lu Li?"
Yao Dou's tight body relaxed and frowned: "how can you come to the old street?"
Lu Li entered the wine shop, looked around two times at will, patted the sleeping little ball on his shoulder, and then took a seat closest to the door and said faintly, "why can't I come?"
Being asked by Lu Li, Yao douyu stopped for a moment, and then said: "you should be in Yanzhou? Run back to the capital to do something. "
Nevertheless, Yao Dou went to fetch a pot of wine and put it on Lu Li's table with the wine bowl.
Lu Li poured himself a bowl and said to Yao Dou standing beside him, "sit down."
"Of course, I have something to do when I come to the capital."
Listening to Lu Li's tone that he didn't treat himself as an outsider at all, Yao Dou wanted to make an ironic remark. But when he thought that the guy whose age was similar to himself was already a master, and the outside world also spread his bloody means and gave him the title of "demon king", Yao Dou hesitated for a moment, and sat down in a strange way. He did not have a good way: "Gu Haoran is not in the old street."
He knew the relationship between Gu Haoran and Lu Li. He thought that Lu Li must have come to the old street to find Gu Haoran.
"He will come."
Lu Li chuckled at Yao Dou, drank a mouthful of weak wine, frowned and evaluated: "too weak."
Yao Dou glanced at him. Although Lu Li was not very pleased with him, he was surprised that his "taste" was similar to that of himself. His hostility in his heart was slightly reduced, but he still kept a straight face and did not speak.
"And I'm not only here for Gu Haoran."
"I'm more interested in you than that cheap brother."
Lu Li put down the wine bowl, looked up at Yao Dou, "do you want to join the Ministry?"
Join the Ministry?
Yao Dou's heart was stunned. He didn't know what Lu Li was thinking.
Yao Dou is certainly no stranger to the prestige of the local government.
Even though the former Ministry was famous for its mystery, he lived in such a place as the old street, and naturally he was full of thunder at the "sharp blade" that devoured the heaven.
Moreover, after the great cleansing which shocked the whole tuntian holy Kingdom, the word "Di bu" was covered with blood. It was the prestige built up with the lives of strong people, and it was enough to make every family of tuntian holy Kingdom feel the power of fear.Yao Dou did not expect that Lu Li would propose to let himself join the Ministry.
But what he knows is that Lu Li has the qualification and the ability.
Although Luli is still the last leader of the local government in name, he has surpassed Cao Hanbing and Zheng'an in fact, and his control over the prefecture is second only to Chen Yang, the chief leader.
After thinking for a moment, Yao Dou pressed down his heart and asked with a straight face, "why do you want me? There should be no shortage of experts in the field, right? Even if I go to the ground, what good can I do for you? "
"Good?"
Lu Li laughed, "if I say, there is no benefit, I just want to make a good relationship with Dong Ao, do you believe it?"
Yao Dou's face slightly changed, looking at Lu Li, it seems that some anger is brewing.
Although Yao Dou was a lame man, he usually spoke little, but he was extremely arrogant. What he hated most was that others added the word "Dong Ao" before his name.
Even if Dong Ao treats him like a father and preaches his boxing skills and martial arts, he and his son are indeed in love. But the more he was like this, the more he wanted to prove that he was "Yao Dou", not "Dong Ao's disciple.".
Lu Li's words undoubtedly touched his anger scale.
After a moment's silence, Yao Dou resisted the impulse and disdained to say, "in this case, what's good for me to join the Ministry?"
"Honed, of course."
Lu Li picked up the wine bowl, sipped the drink that felt weak, and said with a smile, "you are far better than the martial arts in the same territory. Even in the face of the master, you may not have the strength to fight. You feel that you are a raw jade, and you are also very clear that you lack experience and don't have much practical experience. This is your biggest weakness, and it's also your biggest weakness. "
"Although Dong Ao teaches you well and is very strong, he also protects you too well. What kind of warrior is a warrior who has never seen blood? "
Lu Li raised his eyes and looked at Yao Dou, whose face became more and more ugly: "you should not even feel the fear between life and death?"
"You fart
Yao Dou was so excited that he broke out on the spot.
But in the next moment, he saw his eyes flash purple light, even reaction is too late, on the brow was cold sharp touch to stab pain.
The peach blossom sword pointed at his eyebrow, sending out a cold incomparable "killing intention".
It was the first time that Yao Dou faced the murderous spirit so directly. He was stunned in the spot and his brain was blank.
I forgot what to say later.
He even forgot that he was also a martial arts man, so he didn't have time to stimulate his true Qi.
"You see, in the face of life and death, you are not ready at all."
Lu Li hooked his finger, and the peach blossom sword hummed. He circled Yao Dou and finally flew back into his sleeve.
Yao Dou was still immersed in that kind of "feeling" that made him shiver. For a while, he didn't know how to refute it.
Fortunately, at this time, Gu Haoran sounded out of the restaurant with a voice of helplessness: "younger martial brother, you are all masters, and you are not ashamed to frighten a 'child'
"Strictly speaking, I am also a" child. "
Lu Li didn't look at Yao Dou any more, but looked in front of the restaurant door. Gu Haoran's face was full of bitter smile, followed by the expressionless Dong Ao.
Yao Dou seemed to have regained his consciousness. His body was loose and his back was completely wet with cold sweat.
He took a deep breath and tried to say something. He opened his mouth but could not make a sound.
Because Lu Li had no intention to kill before, Yao Dou almost thought he was going to die for a moment.
He took a look at Lu Li, clenched his fist hidden under the table, then loosened it. Shock and fear mixed together, and his expression was extremely complex.
