But just as the red pill was about to enter the mouth, a whistling sound came, and a piece of money flew in, knocking the pill away.

When Zhuan Xin saw Tang Chao, his face turned pale and full of fear.

Just knocking it away wouldn't be serious, but at the same time as it knocked the pill away, it shattered immediately, changed from tangible to intangible in an instant, and disappeared from the world.

This is such a strong skill and amazing skill.

Tang Chao and Zhuan Xin are both martial arts practitioners, so they naturally know how pure the hidden weapon skills and how powerful this bullet is.

As soon as Qian Biao came out, a shadow flashed in the hearts of Zhuan Xin and Tang Chao. The person who used a hidden weapon to kill the pills outside the window was a master at the transformation level. Without such a master, he would never be able to destroy a piece of money. The dart is like a god when used like this.

Although his people did not come in, what surprised Tang Chao and Zhuan Xin was that this person would break in through the window at any time. Even if they risked their lives not to kill Li Linfu, they would definitely die outside the window. This person was like a ghost. With such skill.

At this time, Tang Chao and Zhuan Xin thought of a person at the same time, the most famous among the Central Plains warriors, Tie Murong.

Tang Chao finally calmed down his nervous mood: "The person outside is the hero Tie Murong."

A voice immediately came from the window: "You know my name, but you dare to kill my disciples,"

Tang Chao immediately thought of the black-clothed and masked man he killed on Zhongnan Mountain that day, and said: "Iron Hero didn't know something. I killed a black-clothed and masked man, but this was also the way he later speculated on his martial arts path." I only knew it after a few days. When I killed him, I didn’t know that he was Iron Hero’s disciple. It was really rude.”

Tie Murong snorted coldly: "Yes, it's not your fault, it's my disciple's failure in learning. I'm not here today to seek revenge from you. If I want to take revenge, I, Tie, will not choose to do this in such a situation." At that time, I came to save the prime minister,"

When Li Linfu heard about this big help, he was so excited that his voice trembled: "Thank you, Iron Hero,"

Tie Murong said: "You're welcome, Prime Minister. I've been very respectful to you. Now that I'm in such a difficult situation, it's the right thing to do to come to my rescue."

Tang Chao was shocked, and suddenly rushed to Li Linfu's side. He took out a dagger at some point, put it on Li Linfu's neck, and shouted: "Iron Hero, I know your reputation and have seen your martial arts. You It is easy to kill Tang Chao today, but it is even more difficult to save Prime Minister Li's life. Do you know, with just one stab from me, Mr. Li will be a corpse?"

At this time, Zhuan Xin also stood alertly between the window and the Tang Dynasty. Even if Tie Murong wanted to launch a surprise attack, he would never succeed.

There was silence outside the window for a long time, and Tie Murong's voice came again: "Not bad, then what do you want,"

The Tang Dynasty thought about the current situation. The news of Li Linfu's kidnapping has probably spread throughout the government and the public. He has full power and can mobilize Jianyu Guards and 400,000 forbidden troops. Not to mention these, as well as the elite soldiers and generals in his palace. There were so many of them coming, how could I resist them?

In fact, Tang Chao and Zhuan Xin couldn't deal with Tie Murong alone. The current situation took a turn for the worse and was not good for him. Tang Chao suddenly had a crazy idea in his heart and said: "Brother, why not kill this traitor?" , let’s just escape back to Nanzhao,”

Just when Zhuan Xin was hesitating, Li Linfu looked at the words and said quickly: "Farewell, how about I make a non-aggression covenant with you?"

Tang Chao ignored him and said hoarsely out the window: "Iron Hero, what do you say?"

Tie Murong's deep voice came: "Just follow what the Prime Minister said, as long as you agree to the Prime Minister's request, I will never hurt you now."

What Tang Chao wanted was this sentence, and he immediately said: "Well, Iron Hero, let's settle the grudges between us at another time."

Tie Murong snorted but did not speak, obviously acquiescing.

Seeing that the situation was gradually favorable to him, Li Linfu couldn't help but straighten his figure in the chair, and he dared to make a sound when he coughed. He coughed and took a long breath: "Master Tang Chao, if you have anything to say, please tell me Let’s be honest, but can you please move this thing out of the way first?”

Tang Chao was silent for a moment, but the dagger in his hand was still close to his throat, and he sneered: "There are masters like Tie Murong out there, so I, Tang Chao, have to be extremely vigilant. Li Chenxiang, just bear with me." Well, what you just said is right, it’s better to be more direct. I just hope that you won’t tell lies or clichés, otherwise, the only path left is to perish together.”

Li Linfu hurriedly said: "That's that, I will definitely cooperate with you fully,"

The person who said this did not look like a powerful minister who controlled the affairs of the court, but looked like a spineless gangster on the street. He answered so submissively that people mistakenly thought that he could be treated as casually as a persimmon* *, a total softie.

Tang Chao thought for a long time and asked: "You have sent someone to assassinate me. Is this true?"

"Yes, it is Hui'er, Iron Hero's disciple, but he has died in your hands," Li Linfu said, raising his voice.

Tang Chao did not expect that he would admit this matter so readily, which was quite unexpected, but he immediately understood the reason why he spoke loudly. He wanted to tell Tie Murong outside the window to hear it, so as to provoke his murderer. hatred.

In fact, people in the martial arts world are often not very interested in money and power, because it is easy to get it, but they are very concerned about their descendants. You must know that no matter how high your martial arts skills are, you will always have the power of old age in the future. When we grow old, this is also the reason why countless martial arts heroes do not die in fighting, but die at the hands of their enemies in old age.

Martial arts can only strengthen the body, but it is not omnipotent. It cannot change the structure of genes for the time being. From the time a person is born, he will grow and age. These are independent of human will and are the iron-like disciplines of nature. , Immortality has always been a dream pursued by people.

However, it is still just a dream. It may take fifty or ten thousand years to realize.

It is theoretically possible to escape the laws of operation of things and avoid birth, old age, illness and death, but in fact, it is like a person who makes a perpetual motion machine, he can only have one dream, but it can never be realized. After all, nature has its own laws, conservation of energy, and the evolution of things are all irreversible.

Just think about it, even if there is a leap in genetic knowledge in the future, human body organs can be freely bought and sold. Once they are not running smoothly, they can be replaced and reorganized to continue their life in nature. But let me ask you, your body organs have changed. In fact, you can be regarded as another person, and you are not truly immortal.

----------------------------------------

Therefore, people in the martial arts are very cautious in accepting disciples. First, they can pass on their own martial arts. Second, they can support themselves when they are old and weak. Third, they can expand their influence. Unlike some The earth-shattering masters are short-lived. Of course, the most important thing among them is naturally the second point. The main thing is to support yourself and fight on behalf of your teacher.

Li Linfu's words were just to arouse Tie Murong's anger. Among Tie Murong's disciples, apart from Gongsun Wuyi, only Hui'er was the most popular with his master, because he was young and had high martial arts skills. Moreover, his understanding is much better than Gongsun Wuyi. It was the martial arts successor he found after seven or eight years of hard work. He wanted him to carry forward his sect, but he didn't expect that he was actually killed by the Tang Dynasty. He was filled with resentment in his heart. Of course, it is conceivable that it takes a lot of effort to train a disciple. It is not just a matter of teaching him a few kung fu, but it requires continuous training. It is not much better than practicing martial arts. This is the only way. Only the disciples who have been taught can support a sect. Martial arts training cannot be learned by holding a copy of "Palm of the Tathagata" like in the movies. Without the personal guidance of the master, without learning from the crystallization of countless predecessors, You are basically a frog in the well, you can't get on the stage, just don't compete with each other. If you compete with each other, you are destined to be beaten to death and maimed.

Sure enough, these words were very effective. As soon as Tie Murong heard these words, there was a scratch and the window was opened. Tie Murong's black figure appeared at the door of Yunjin Tower, his eyes gleaming, and he looked carefully at Tang Chao's body. I looked at it several times.

But the Tang Dynasty was not afraid. He had already signaled to Zhuan Xin to block the front. If this person acted recklessly, he would immediately kill Li Linfu and try to escape.

Zhuan Xin was irritated at this time: "Senior Tian, ​​you are a great master in vain. How can you go back on your word? Didn't you promise to stay well outside the window?"

Tie Murong snorted, knowing that his action was a bit reckless, and said: "Boy, don't talk nonsense. Since you know that I am a master, how can you imitate that rat-and-dog thief and eavesdrop outside the window? You must be upright and dignified." Listen," after saying that, he sat down on a table in a grand manner, clasped his hands in his fists, and looked at Tang Chao coldly.

His original intention when he came in was to capture Tang Chao immediately. When he saw that Tang Chao was already on guard, he had no choice but to give it up. He thought that it would be wise to save the Prime Minister's life first.

Originally, with his cultivation level that had already entered the realm of transformation, he shouldn't have acted so recklessly, but when the successor of the mantle who had worked hard to cultivate for more than ten years was killed by others, the hatred in his heart was really beyond the imagination of ordinary people. The heir, that is, the heir of the mantle, must devote all his efforts to him, so that he can become successful. Therefore, many disciples of great martial arts masters, such as Zhang Sanfeng's disciples, are as close to their master as flesh and blood, sometimes even more so than their biological parents. Dear, this is the reason. Suddenly more than ten years of hard work turned into ashes. Even though Tie Murong was very advanced in cultivation, he couldn't help but become so angry that he almost did something crazy.

Tang Chao ignored Tie Murong and looked at Li Linfu fiercely: "Traitor, tell me why you put me to death."

Li Linfu smiled bitterly: "Master Tang Dynasty, I promoted you to be the chief Huangmen servant. Your kindness must be very small. I didn't expect that you didn't remember my kindness, but you went to seek refuge with Gao Xianzhi, a stinky man, and saved one of his generals. ,, Niu Seng, hum, this Niu Sengru, I met him when he first came to Chang'an to seek an official position. I knew that although he was extremely talented, he was ambitious, so I refused to take him in. But I didn't expect that Gao Xianzhi pulled him over. Zhao's rebellion was originally a trivial matter, but if I caught it, it would not make things easier for Gao Xianling. However, I didn't expect that the emperor seemed to favor Gao Xianzhi, who only punished the sins of cattle, monks and children. I am still happy in my heart. After all, in the eyes of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, Gao Xianzhi's faction has been hit. I didn't expect that at such a juncture, Tang Dynasty, you would betray me and go to kill my archenemy, Niu Sengru. He was rescued and now he is serving under Gao Xianzhi. Please tell me, is this the right thing to do?"

When Tang Chao heard this analysis, he felt it was reasonable. He nodded and said, "Yes, I didn't think about this carefully. I thought it was no big deal to save someone. I didn't expect that it would involve so many things in the court. But why didn't you send someone?" Yan said that he immediately killed me,"

After saying the last two sentences, the anger in Tang Chao's eyes rose again.

Li Linfu said: "Master Tang Dynasty, you are the person I promoted. If you do this, I will naturally think that you are deliberately going against me and supporting the Gao family. I thought at the time that you were just hanging around in the officialdom." People, you can't even see this stake, so I decided that you betrayed me deliberately and blatantly. You went to Princess Yuzhen's mansion to negotiate about rescuing Niu Sengru. I have inquired clearly, Mr. Tang Chao, think about it, is it still useful to comfort you at this time? Naturally, I sent someone to kill him. But what I didn’t expect was that there was a hidden dragon and crouching tiger in Mr. Tang Chao’s house. Mr. Tang Chao was also a man. The talent of a general has tens of thousands of soldiers in his chest, which is why he has fallen into this situation."

"Haha," Tang Chao sneered, "Li Chenxiang, I'm afraid you want to kill the chicken to show the monkeys, so that your subordinates can see the consequences of betraying you."

"Yes, I really wanted to knock down the mountain and stern the tiger. The Tang Dynasty master is extremely smart, but there is something that puzzles me. Why do you dare to save Niu Sengru when you know that it will greatly anger me?"

At this time, he seemed to have regained the majesty of a great minister, with a sparkle in his eyes.

Good boy, only then did Tang Chao realize that he had been deceived by Niu Sengru, a false sworn brother, and got himself into a situation that would never be recovered. Moreover, he had been free for so long, why didn't he come to the house to express his gratitude? Thank yourself.

And more importantly, the Tang Dynasty could not have imagined that the party struggle at this time had reached such an extent that what he thought was a small change in attitude often involved people's lives. If he had not been lucky, he would have been killed long ago. After the assassination, I still don’t know who the enemy is.

Alas, Tang Chao sighed and finally realized that this era is very different from before time travel. It used to be a democratic era, but now it is an authoritarian era. To survive in different eras, you must change your thinking. You must not act on impulse. When you just went to rescue Niu Sengru, you never thought that it would involve the power struggle between Li Linfu and Gao Xianzhi.

After a long while, Tang Chao said: "Li Chenxiang, to tell you the truth, I really didn't think it was so serious before. Haha, you are really powerful. If one plan fails, then another one will succeed, and you have to put me to death." , His heart can be killed,"

Li Linfu smiled contemptuously: "Hey, I, Li Linfu, may have misjudged me. Although you look smooth on the outside, you are actually a stubborn and unsophisticated young man in your heart. Young people have many ideals and focus on sensibility. I can't blame you for this. However, the truth is that I made a mistake. I thought that you were just a small Huangmen servant, and I just wanted to kill you. I thought that it would be effortless. I didn’t expect that you were incredibly clever at guarding yourself. Some time ago, someone An envoy from the Yelang Kingdom came to pay tribute and knew that he was a powerful figure in the Tang Dynasty, so he gave me a night pearl. I asked the envoy to forward it to you at that time."

"As expected, it's you. I've been wondering for a long time. With my status, how could anyone give me such an expensive gift? It turns out it was you who instigated it."

Li Linfu smiled: "Yes, I am not an authentic Yelang countryman. It is difficult to hide it from the masters in your house. I have to offer advice. I think that a young man like you will not be able to help but accept such a treasure after seeing it." Yes, since I could accept such a heavy gift from Yelang Kingdom and the 'Pegasus on Swallows' from Zhang Jiazheng, it was a matter of course. After everything was arranged, I entered the palace in person and reported it to the emperor in person. Your heinous crime is unimaginable. It is because of the noble concubine that you can survive. This is God's will. It is unlucky to go against God. Mr. Tang Dynasty, I have confessed everything. I only hope that we can mutually cooperate in the future. No infringement, please don’t ruin my business, and I will never have any intention of harming you.”

"As expected, it's you, you are so vicious," Tang Chao gritted his teeth, "Who can believe you, a poisonous snake like you?"

When Li Linfu heard this, he suddenly laughed: "Master Tang Chao, whether you believe the truth or not, there are only two ways in front of us. One is to kill me and die together."

When he said this, he looked out the window. At this time, not only the soldiers of the Li Mansion almost came out in full force, but the Jianyu Guards also surrounded the Yunjin Tower. Li Linfu said that they would all die together, which was not a lie. Zhuan Xin and the martial arts of the Tang Dynasty at this time were simply unable to break through the siege, and being captured at the end of their efforts was the inevitable end.

"The second is that you let me go. From now on, we will not invade each other, and we will not invade each other. I will explain to the civil and military officials and the emperor what happened today. It is purely a misunderstanding. Mr. Tang, that's it. Which one do you want to choose?" Where is the road?"

Tang Chao was silent for a long time, then he let go of Li Linfu, hid the dagger in his boot, and said: "Okay, from now on, we will not invade each other, and the water in the well will not invade the river." He took Zhuanxin's hand and strode forward. After leaving Yunjin Tower, he didn't even look at Tie Murong.

Tie Murong smiled slightly and did not stop him. He knew that at this time, if he took action, these two people would definitely be captured by Li Linfu. However, he knew from the sound of Tang Chao's walking steps that Tang Chao was a person that could not be ignored. opponent.

Although Tie Murong's current martial arts cannot be said to be at its peak, comparable to those of Yuchi Gong and Qin Shubao during the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the difference is only a hair's breadth. As long as he can concentrate and persevere on the road of martial arts By trekking, you can hope to truly achieve the perfection of your merits. However, it is not easy for people in the secular world to really put aside their secular affairs and concentrate on practicing martial arts. Countless scholars in this era want to pass the imperial examination. A leap over the threshold is worth a hundred times the value of a dragon gate. However, the ups and downs of reality have made many thousand-mile horses with dreams buried in the weeds and surrendered to the grassroots. That's why Liu Bei during the Three Kingdoms period said, "Keep your status and wait for the right time. Don't compete with fate." The same is true for Tie Murong now. He pursued martial arts wholeheartedly, so he declined all worldly pursuits and opened a tavern in Chang'an. At the age of over 40, he gained such a great reputation and became the number one martial artist in the Central Plains. It was indeed not a matter of luck. However, Now he also encounters worldly matters, and he has to rely on Li Linfu.

Of course, he clearly knew the purpose of Li Linfu's humble request to him, but he still had to agree to the prime minister's request. In fact, he did not really have no intention of having an official career, but he knew that given his situation, he was not suitable to be a military attaché in the imperial court. Yes, the reason is very simple, he has made too many enemies.

In order to become famous and to move towards the pinnacle of martial arts, he challenged himself everywhere. He did not know how many martial arts schools he played in and how many duels he participated in. However, he still knew clearly the people he had killed. As of today, he has 554 people, he was able to enjoy such a great reputation in the martial arts world of the Central Plains not by talking about it, but by fighting bloody battles and fighting openly and secretly. Therefore, he is not suitable for being an official. If he becomes an official, he will definitely die in the officialdom. Officialdom Unlike fighting, in addition to force, it is more about conspiracy and conspiracy. If he wants to concentrate on practicing martial arts, he will never have extra energy to attend to worldly affairs. In that case, sooner or later, he will still die in conspiracy.

So like Li Linfu, he is looking for a strong backer. However, in the current situation, he is more proactive, because Li Linfu urgently needs experts like him. In this mortal world, no one has absolute freedom. , he too, if he wants to continue to pursue martial arts, these things must be dealt with.

He could see that the advancement of martial arts after the Tang Dynasty was limitless. After all, this boy could defeat his disciple Gongsun Wuyi.

I really want to take revenge. I really want to. Although the Tang Dynasty has not publicized the fact that his disciples were defeated by him, there is no guarantee that this kid will publicize it one day. For a fallen martial arts master, this is a great irony.

Yes, my own martial arts skills are high, but others will say behind my back that I don’t know how to teach my disciples, especially my enemies, who will definitely add jealousy behind my back. This is for a person who values ​​reputation more than his life. It's unacceptable.

However, he still restrained himself, and people in the martial arts world insisted that if they let Tang Chao go, they would definitely let him go.
