Golden Greenery

Mu Yue had to run away. He couldn't afford to offend Pei Min, and neither could Lao Zhangtou.

Sword Master Pei Min's son Pei Zhong was killed, and it was Mu Yue who did it because Pei Zhong publicly insulted Mu Yue as a 'trash' in the Zuiyun Tower in Chang'an West City in the afternoon. The men of the Tang Dynasty were very hard-edged, and they could kill but not humiliate the men. People of the Tang Dynasty could not do the things they did in public.

During the day, Li Bai, who was ranked third in the world in swordsmanship, was unable to attack. He was Pei Zhong's fellow disciple. At night, he took advantage of Pei Zhong being drunk and unable to hold the sword steady, and stabbed Pei Zhong three holes in a row. One for the throat and two for the chest.

If it were a better martial artist, one hole would be enough, but Mu Yue, he wasn't that smart.

This alarmed the other people in Zuihonglou, so they quickly threw away the Longquan Sword, opened the window with their bare hands and ran away.

To be honest, if Mu Yue hadn't been sure that he was sleeping in Zhang Zhenren's mansion that night, he would have believed that he did it. It was so reasonable.

But it really wasn't him. He's not a young man in his twenties.

But who would believe it wasn't him? Except for Lao Zhangtou, even Li Bai didn't believe it at first.

The Green Lotus Sword in Li Bai's hand was pressed against Mu Yue's throat. He only needed to send it away gently and there was nothing left for him to look for.

"Mu Yue, you are going too far."

"It wasn't me."

"how to prove?"

"I can't beat Pei Zhong, you know that."

"he's drunk."

"Isn't it better to fight when you're drunk? Xiaobai, you said it yourself, even if you become a 'drunken swordsman' after drinking, your master is no match for you."

"That's me, Li Bai, not Pei Zhong."

"Pei Zhong is your senior fellow apprentice. Maybe he is the same as you? His family background is more authentic than yours."

"I've never heard of people who drink alcohol and have a family background."

"Why not? Cheng Zhijie only drinks Shandong liquor, and so do several of his sons. They can't even drink Fengjiu from Chang'an. But Qin Qiong has a bad stomach, so he never drinks liquor, only drinks Yuezhou's daughter is red, so the old Qin family only drinks rice wine."

"How do you know?...What about Li Jing?"

“Phoenix wine.

"

"Yin Kaishan?"

"Fenjiu."

"Changsun Wuji?"

"Grape stuffed."

"Fang Xuan...why should I discuss wine with you?"

"Hey, yes, why did I go astray... Fang Xuanling likes to drink Jian Nanchun."

Li Bai: "..."

"Mu Yue, where is your Longquan Sword?"

"I'm going to say that I lost it, do you believe it or not?" This was what Mu Yue couldn't figure out the most. The Longquan sword that was clearly hanging on the wall of the bedroom was missing when he woke up in the morning.

"Do not believe."

"Then I will kneel down and swear to you that it was definitely not me. Do you believe it or not?"

"I believe it."

Superior Mu Yue breathed a sigh of relief. Li Bai under the murderous aura was too stressful. He gently pushed away the sharp edge of the Qinglian Sword with his fingertips, keeping it farther away from his throat.

"I would have knelt down if I had told you it would be so easy. Do you want to kneel down now?"

Li Bai put Qinglian into the scabbard. "Brother Mu, it wasn't you."

"Where's the evidence?"

"You are afraid of death. Even if you are humiliated, you are determined not to offend my master. You will not ignore your friends and kill Pei Zhong behind my back."

"I don't dare offend you either."

"Brother Mu, who do you think did it? Who wants to put the blame on you?"

"have no idea."

"Have you ever offended anyone?"

"Yes, Pei Zhong."

"Brother Mu, I believe you, but my master won't believe it."

"Will the Juggernaut kill me?"

"It will definitely happen, and he will probably order me to kill you."

"Xiao Bai, will you kill me?"

"Will do."

"Even if you know that I was framed?"

"Yes, I can. Teacher's kindness is greater than God's."

Although Li Bai hates the aristocratic family, he respects and loves the Sword Master Pei Min very much, because Pei Min really taught him everything he had, and his true love is sincere, and this is not fake.

The Wenxi Pei family, who was a little more emphasis on martial arts than literature, had been in decline since the early Tang Dynasty. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, after the father and son of the three famous generals Pei Renji, Pei Xingyan, and Pei Xingjian, Pei Ji, who was born in a side house, was quite powerful.

However, this low point refers to the horizontal comparison between aristocratic families. In front of mortals, the Wenxi Pei family is still a towering tree.

The situation in which the Pei family was left behind by the top families of the Five Surnames and Seven Families changed after the appearance of Pei Min. Pei Min himself ranked first among martial artists in the Tang Dynasty for his superb swordsmanship and made great achievements in the wars with the Khitan and Tubo. , was awarded the title of Longhua Military Envoy by the emperor, guarded Beiping, and led General Jinwu to the left.

The last general Zuo Jinwu Mu Yue knew was Xun Guo Gong Yin Kaishan.

The re-emergence of Pei Min and Wenxi Pei seems mysterious, but the momentum of their rise is very strong. Pei Min's only son Pei Zhong was the successor of all this, but now he was killed by Mu Yue.

.

"Xiao Bai, the Sword Master...will definitely kill me?"

"must."

"You will kill me too?"

"As long as the master orders me, I will."

"Then what should I do now?"

"Run! Do you still need someone to teach you?" Li Bai was so angry that his teeth itched. "While my master hasn't returned to the capital, entered Chang'an City, and I haven't received his master's orders, run immediately. Run as far as you can. Don't let my master and the Pei family find you. Not even me." Don’t find anyone.”

Go back to Zhongnan Mountain! Mu Yue immediately made a decision. Go back and hide for another eighty years. Martial arts are not invincible, time is. I will survive you unreasonable people.

Senior brother Zhang Guo is not afraid of Pei Min, but he cannot protect Mu Yue. If Pei Min wants to kill Zhang Guo, the emperor will definitely stop him, but now he is killing useless Mu Yue. The emperor will not waste any more effort, and no one will.

Aristocratic families can fight with each other openly and secretly, but when their legitimate son is killed, they will definitely share the same hatred. This is a circle of aristocrats. No one would offend this circle for Mu Yue, least of all the emperor.

Just run away! Pei Min was on his way back to Beijing to report on his duties, and he should arrive in the next two days. And there will definitely be people from Pei's family who will welcome him out and tell him about Pei Zhong's murder. Maybe he already knows about it and is working hard.

.

Lao Zhangtou and Mu Yue sneaked out of the Qixia Gate in the south of Chang'an City by stepping on the point where the city gate and the city gate were closed.

Mu Yue originally wanted to run away by himself, but Lao Zhangtou insisted on sending him to the plains of Wagu Cave outside Qixia Gate, because there might be people from the Pei family stationed outside the city to guard against Mu Yue's escape, and Pei Pei Min is not the only one in the family who can wield swords. Wen Xi has a tradition of establishing his family with martial arts.

It's not that Lao Zhangtou is very good at fighting. On the contrary, his slow legs and feet will delay his escape speed. But Lao Zhangtou had asked one of his friends to escort Mu Yue to the foot of the mountain. This friend was highly accomplished in martial arts. Mu Yue's heart dropped to his stomach when he heard his name.

Mu Yue and Lao Zhangtou made an appointment. After the incident in Chang'an City was completely calm and Pei Min couldn't find him and had to give up, Lao Zhangtou left again and went to Zhongnan Mountain to meet Mu Yue. However, they went to Xingzhou together. Wufeng Mountain in the state.

Lao Zhangtou thought that he would be almost done by then, and he hoped that Mu Yue would be by his side when he became an immortal.

The two brothers walked up the slope of Wagu Cave. Sure enough, there were already people waiting at the Shili Changting Pavilion not far away. It seemed that Lao Zhangtou's friend did keep his word.

After walking a few steps, Lao Zhangtou suddenly pulled Mu Yue: "Wait a minute, he's not..."

Before he finished speaking, the people in the pavilion had turned around. The first thing that attracted Mu Yue was that he was wearing a black robe wrapped in soft armor, and the flame pattern on his chest was very obvious even in the moonlight.

"Are you Mu Yue? I am Pei Min from Hedong."
