Volume 2: The Gentleman's Sword Tests His Skills, and the Mystery of the Three Puritans Begins (Chapter 5) Volume 2 Chapter 8: Anger

A hand stretched out from behind and pulled out the whole sword with a "swish!" Li Mujiang turned his head and looked, and saw Jiang Xiaoshu flying with his wrist, dancing a sword flower, then raised his eyebrows and asked:

"How is it, the sword is very good? Mainly, it's better to get the name. As the saying goes, a good person is good at sword..."

"You dare to come back!" Li Mujiang said angrily with his head raised:

"Jiang Xiaoshu, you shameless person! If you dare to do this, I will kill you!"

"Uh..." Jiang Xiaoshu saw that Li Mujiang was angry, so he didn't dare to be too presumptuous. He shrugged, then returned the sword to the sheath and sat down next to Li Mujiang.

Li Mujiang immediately moved a few steps to the side and turned his head aside. At this time, she happened to see the guest room opposite. A knife light flashed in the room. Although it was only a moment, Li Mujiang could see clearly.

Along the way, Li Mujiang faced the enemy in the dark more than once, so she was sure that the other party was coming from her. She frowned and secretly poked Jiang Xiaoshu.

"Hey." Li Mujiang whispered:

"I'm a little bit eyeing us."

"I know," Jiang Xiaoshu raised his eyebrows:

"In the temple guest room opposite, there were people staring at us, but I don't know who came for us, so I joked with you and deliberately left the Langshu Sword for them to see. Sure enough, after I fell off the eaves, they were staring at me until now. It seems that these people are looking for my bad luck."

Seeing what he said was serious, Li Mujiang found out that what he had done was to lure the snake out of the hole. Although he did not believe it, his anger disappeared a little. She was a woman who knew the general, and immediately put aside her previous displeasure and asked:

"Do I need to take action?"

Jiang Xiaoshu shook his head and said:

"No need, Miss Li, you only need a while, no matter what I say, you nod your head. Isn't that difficult?"

Li Mujiang didn't know the significance of Jiang Xiaoshu's move, but he shook his head:

“Not difficult.”

Jiang Xiaoshu immediately reminded:

"Nod, nod."

Li Mujiang nodded, and Jiang Xiaoshu was relieved. He took Li Mujiang's wine bag, took a sip, shook the two wisps of dragon beards in front of his forehead, and asked quietly:

"Miss Li, am I handsome?"

When Li Mujiang heard this, he was stunned for a moment, looked at Jiang Xiaoshu with an idiot, but nodded reluctantly.

When Jiang Xiaoshu saw Li Mujiang nodding, he laughed loudly and said loudly:

"Miss Li, please come here later. There are more than one kind of fine wine in Chang'an City. Let me go to Taibaiju in the south of the city to make a jar of Taibai wine and drink it with you."

Li Mujiang nodded again. Jiang Xiaoshu took another sip of Xifeng wine in his wine bag, then threw it back to Li Mujiang, and then said loudly:

"Well, it's clear but not light, it's thick but not gorgeous, it's indeed a good intoxicating thing. Miss Li, let's say goodbye for the time being!"

Li Mujiang took the wine bag and continued to nod. Then he saw Jiang Xiaoshu jumping out of the wall and disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Li Mujiang turned his head and took a sip of wine. As soon as Jiang Xiaoshu left, her mood began to return to the previous heaviness and entanglement...

But after drinking, he lowered his head and looked at the wine bag in his hand, Li Mujiang noticed something was wrong.

Just now, the guy seemed serious and took the wine bag casually and drank it. Well... at least two sips. And his words "clear but not light, thick but not gorgeous", are he talking about the fragrance of wine? Or...

Li Mujiang stared at the wine bag, and after a moment, he said to himself:

"Jiang Xiaoshu...Do you like me?"

Then she took another sip of wine and said:

“It’s so boring.”

In the guest room of Guangren Temple...

"Brother Third, are we going to do it now?"

"Well, no time, leave quickly."

"San brother, seeing this kid looks pretty, the Zhongping sword in his hand and the pair of fox eyes are even more fake. It must be Jiang Xiaoshu. But... looking at his body and martial arts, I'm afraid that the three of us will join us and take him down."

"Yes, I think Lao Liu is right. Third brother, Su Wen is extremely cunning and scheming. If I go so rashly, I'm afraid I won't be able to get it. Why not plan for a long time..."

The man called "Three Brothers" seemed to be the leader of these three people. After hearing this, he raised his hand and slapped the other two companions, cursing:

"You two idiots, don't think about it. Our mission this time is to save people, not to kill this kid. What's more, in the rumors, apart from being tricky, hasn't this guy ever said that he is lustful and greedy? How could he miss the beautiful woman with such a beautiful woman? Since he has gone to the south of the city to have a drink, we will go to Huayue Inn to rescue Lord Han, so why should we fight him?"

"What the third brother said is very...", the two of them quickly agreed.

The man who was called the third brother continued:

"What's more, this woman's martial arts are probably several times stronger than Jiang Xiaoshu. Otherwise, with Jiang Xiaoshu's martial arts, how could she be beaten down by her? If we don't take action to save Lord Han, and when Jiang Xiaoshu returns to the inn with this woman later, how can we fight against this pair of dogs and men?"

After saying that, he waved his hand:

"leave!"

The rear window was opened, and the three of them quietly rushed out, and then ran towards Huayue Inn without looking back.

But they didn't know that just as they opened the window and jumped out, there was a man standing on the eaves at the top of the window. The man hooked his hands and feet around the edges, his chest pressed against the eaves, and he watched the three people quietly emerge from under him.

This person is naturally Jiang Xiaoshu, who should have been on the road to drink wine in the south of the city.

When the three of them left, Jiang Xiaoshu thrust his waist and abdomen, and he flipped into the guest room where the three of them were staying before.

There was nothing in the room, only a letter was on the table, Jiang Xiaoshu picked up the letter:

"Jiang Xiaoshu has been sent to Chang'an to arrest Han Fu. When you receive this letter, if Han Fu is not arrested, you need to protect him from leaving Chang'an safely. If he has fallen into the enemy, you should keep the secret at any cost."

There is only the task itself in the letter, no signature or title, but the paper itself is not a common rice paper, but a very special yellow paper.

Jiang Xiaoshu looked at the letter and fell into deep thought. After frowned for a moment, he put the letter in his arms. Then he smiled like a self-deprecatingly:

"When I was in the capital, I said I was a ridiculous and misconductive little playboy. Now, the little girl Li Mujiang has become a shameless person, and in these people I have become a scheming, lustful scoundrel. Damn, with my reputation so bad? Why no one said that I am a mighty and invincible hero? Bastard!"

He spat and expressed his contempt for the group of people who do not know their reputation. Jiang Xiaoshu jumped out of the window and rushed to Huayue Inn. While walking, he said intimately:

"Save Han Fu, Huang Biaozhi... Humph, the traitor of the Three Puritans, I'll come here to you later."

…………

Li Mujiang left Jiang Xiaoshu. Although she had never stopped drinking and eating meat, she kept paying attention to the guest room. Sure enough, after her careful observation, she found that the three people jumped out of the window. Although they were not weak in martial arts, they might not be able to do anything to Jiang Xiaoshu. What's more, there was Zhang Qianjun, who was very skilled in martial arts by Jiang Xiaoshu, so she didn't have to ask about it anymore.

But when she thought that this matter had nothing to do with her, Li Mujiang was a little confused - she had to make a decision.

Once a decision is made, it will affect her decision in the future.

It is obvious that I can't make up my mind to find that person and take him home to save the suffering people; or give up and live in seclusion, but...

But! Why did I get confused because of Jiang Xiaoshu's words?

"I'm just telling the truth. Does the 'hero' exist in these people's hearts? Take a step back ten thousand steps. Even if there is this person, can he really stand up as if this group of people imagined? And let him lose his luck and save all living beings. It's just a waste of his life..."

Jiang Xiaoshu's words lingered in Li Mujiang's mind, and she could not let her calm down and still couldn't escape!

Persistence is to chase hope, and giving up is to lose hope. But that guy said, this hope does not exist in itself? How can Li Mujiang endure it?

Li Mujiang closed his eyes, the sun shone brightly above his head, but his heart was no less stormy waves!

After a long time, she opened her eyes:

"You said we only place our hopes on heroes, but we don't resist hard; you said that heroes do not exist; you also said that even if they exist, this hero cannot save the world... But I just want to prove to you that everything you say is nonsense! I will go to Huayue Inn to refute your fallacies and evil things, and then set out, I will definitely find him from all over the world! See what bullshit you have made at that time!"

As she talked to herself, her feet kept walking to the wine jar that she had placed in the corner of the temple. She took a sip of wine, drank it down, and then covered the sealing cloth back to the entrance of the tank. Then she found that there were two lines of small characters embroidered on the red cloth of the sealing cloth-

Clear but not light, thick but not bright.

Li Mujiang was stunned, his nose wings slightly fluttered, but his feet kept rushing towards Huayue Inn.

…………

The biggest difference between humans and animals is that people will decide their thinking because of emotions, that is, people will be angry, but being angry will only bring you anger, but anger will not give you strength. The decisions made by being angry will definitely die due to insignificant setbacks. This is a tragedy for humans.

But most people don’t know this, but instead say things like “Don’t bully the young man’s poor” and spend their whole life because of their own anger. This is a bigger tragedy.

Li Mujiang is stepping on the brink of this tragedy.
