Taiping Inn

Li Xuandu waved his sleeves, and the "Green Dragon" and "Purple Phoenix" returned to his sleeves like tired birds returning to their nests.

It was not until this moment that Pei Yan reacted and said hysterically: "Mr. Huyan! Hurry up, use your best tricks, use your life-saving tricks, no matter what the cost, kill him! As long as you kill him, I will personally ask my father for credit for you and give you 10,000 Taiping money, no, no, give you 20,000 Taiping money! In addition to Taiping money, beauties, elixirs, treasures, secret books, whatever you want, our Pei family will give you!"

Pei Yan is certainly not stupid. On the contrary, he is an indisputable smart man, a young man of aristocratic family carefully cultivated by aristocratic families, with scheming and skills. It's just that there are different levels of intelligence. People with a head full of small cleverness are often the most afraid of death. The more they face their own life and death, the more likely they are to be confused.

At this time, Pei Yan knew that Huyan Shengming was dead, but he just didn't want to believe it, because after his greatest support Huyan Shengming died, he was like a weak woman facing a vicious thief alone.

If Pei Yan was in Li Xuandu's position, he would never let Li Xuandu go. It would be a bargain to give him a quick death. So, judging by himself, he didn't think Li Xuandu would let it go.

Li Xuandu walked forward slowly, and with his footsteps, Huyan Shengming's body fell to the ground with a "thump", stirring up a circle of dust.

Pei Yan, whose last fantasy was completely shattered, suddenly calmed down and calmed down, as if there was nothing more sad than a dead heart. In this way, he had some of the demeanor of the young master of the Pei family.

Li Xuandu walked in front of Pei Yan and asked, "Mr. Pei, do you remember what I said just now?"

Pei Yan nodded as if he accepted his fate, and then lowered his head.

"That's good to know." Li Xuandu nodded slightly, then suddenly raised his voice: "Pei Yan!"

Pei Yan subconsciously raised his head, and before his eyes flashed, Li Xuandu had already punched out.

With a "bang", Pei Yan flew backwards, but Li Xuandu used his strength and didn't intend to kill the young master of the Pei family. He didn't even stir up much dust when he landed, but his two front teeth flew high, and then fell next to Pei Yan with the roots and blood.

Li Xuandu said calmly: "I'll knock out your teeth, but I won't kill you."

Pei Yan barely got up, picked up his two fallen teeth, lowered his head and whispered: "Thank you for your mercy."

After that, Pei Yan put the two teeth into his mouth. Although they were almost stuck in his throat, Pei Yan still swallowed the two front teeth alive, and then said word by word: "Swallow the teeth that were knocked out. I'm learning."

Li Xuandu turned a blind eye to this scene and just waved his hand.

Pei Yan turned around and staggered out of the inn.

It's not that Li Xuandu couldn't hear the resentment hidden in Pei Yan's words, but whether to kill Pei Yan or not did not depend on whether Pei Yan resented it or not, nor on how Li Xuandu felt about Pei Yan, but on the situation.

Li Xuandu killed the Qingluan Guard because of the opposition, just like the struggle between good and evil, there is nothing to say. In addition to the self-protection reason, the attack on the Pei family also had the intention of establishing authority. It was necessary to scare the Pei family, but not to make them desperately retaliate. Therefore, Huyan Shengming, the great guest of the Pei family, must die, and Pei Yan, the son of the Pei family, must not die. As for whether Pei Yan would take revenge in the future, it did not depend on Pei Yan, but on Li Xuandu. If Li Xuandu could regain power, even if Pei Yan wanted to take revenge, other people in the Pei family would not allow it.

In a family, although the head of the family holds great power and can act according to his own wishes within a small range, he must not act arbitrarily when it comes to the overall situation of the entire family. If the head of the family acts against the interests of the family, he will naturally not be able to sit firmly on the position of the head of the family. In fact, this is true from a small family to a large country. The person with the highest power represents the interests of the majority of people, that is, the will of the people. If he goes against the interests of the majority of people, he will be deserted by everyone.

Because of this, Li Xuandu decided to let Pei Yan go from the beginning.

If Li Xuandu could regain power in the future and become an important "big man" in the world, maybe at that time, Pei Yan would not be ashamed of what happened today, but would be proud of it.

Just like the upright officials in the court, being beaten by the emperor, this is a court caning, which can win a reputation for being upright and be praised by the scholars. Everyone would give a thumbs up and praise the loyal, upright and good officials, but if they were beaten by ruffians, it would be a great shame.

Honor and shame are not about things, but about people.

The same thing, when put on different people, will have different results.

After Pei Yan left, the only one left was the young master Cao Jiande.

As for those Qingluan Guards, they had fled after Fang Shisan died. If it was the Qingluan Guard in its heyday, it would not dare to act like this. If the chief officer died and the subordinates fled, they would be held accountable by the Qingluan Guard. However, the government is corrupt now, and the Qingluan Guard is not clean. They eat empty salaries, drink the blood of soldiers, deceive their superiors and subordinates, and there are no people who are truly willing to serve.

At this time, the young Duke had completely fainted. Li Xuandu lifted him from a pile of wine jars with one hand, as if he was hesitating whether to kill him.

Pei Yu, who had been standing on the stairs, looked at Li Xuandu and his body trembled uncontrollably.

The previous scene was vivid, almost exactly the same as the rivers and lakes he saw in his dream.

The inn, the master, the Qingluan Guard, the action without a word, the end like a whirlwind, clean and neat, as if drinking three bowls of iced sour plum soup in one breath in the hot summer weather.

This is the world he yearns for, and this is the world he wants.

Compared to Pei Yu's mood, Pei Zhu was a little complicated. She has not liked martial artists who have been in the world since she was a child. In her impression, martial artists have always been inseparable from the word "coarse man". It is said that the elder sister is like a mother. After her parents passed away, she was responsible for disciplining Pei Yu in daily life. But what she didn't expect was that the more she forced Pei Yu to study, the more Pei Yu yearned for that hard world. Her younger brother's disobedience made her hate the martial arts world and those lawless warriors in the martial arts world.

But today, Pei Zhu has to admit that if Li Xuandu, the martial artist in the world, would have turned into a wisp of wronged soul and went to the underground nine springs.

At this moment, Pei Yu added fuel to the fire, "Sister, if you see, you might as well say that you are useless. Those scholars you like on weekdays are good at singing the wind and the moon and talking about it, but if When you encounter today's situation, can you save you in the face of those Qingluan Guards? Can you save our Pei family? "

Pei Zhu suddenly felt extremely frustrated and didn't know how to answer.

Pei Yu said excitedly: "I have to go and find Brother Li to learn from his skills. If I miss Brother Li, this peerless master, I will regret it for the rest of my life."

Compared to Pei Yu, who was dancing with eyebrows, Pei Zhu had a complicated expression, lowered her eyes, and her eyes were dull and hard to see.
