In the dead of night, Lijiazhuang was quiet.
Li Tan knelt in front of Li Qingwu's coffin, his thoughts were flying, his face was expressionless and thinking, in the hall of the middle hall, everyone was silent, and the dim candlelight was blown by the night wind from time to time.
"This matter is yellow, my cheap old lady's mother clan is not strong enough, and I haven't had a good relationship with the rest of the Li family before, they will definitely not support me, and I have no advantage to buy them, and the position of patriarch will definitely not fall into my hands" "The world is big, Lao Tzu doesn't believe that the Qingcheng faction can really kill me" "Meow a mi, when the time comes, I think it's good to divide the money, the boss is very good, the dog is rich, in charge of rent collection, the second seems to be hooked up with Li Fugui, and the daily silver in the house, the third donkey is worse than Lao Tzu, so the boss will be the boss, and he will be blackmailed" Li Tan said secretly, he thought about things too simply, but he found out in time, changed his original intention, and decided to support his eldest brother Li Jing as the patriarch, and make a benefit by the way.
The long night passed, and when the dawn broke, Li Jing finally couldn't stand it, found a lame excuse, and left in a flash.
On the corridor path, Li Jing is walking alone.
"Big brother, wait" Suddenly, he heard someone shouting behind him, and looked back sideways, but he saw Li Tan with a smile on his face, and Chen Ruoxi, who was trembling and stunning, and couldn't help but envy his fourth brother's good luck, marrying a beautiful girl, and being really merry and happy.
"Big brother, take a step to speak" Li Tan walked up to him and released kindness.
"Hmm" Li Jing nodded, the three of them walked to the garden, along the cobblestone path, slowly to a place, only to see that the surrounding is full of huge osmanthus trees, but at this time, the flowers have not bloomed, as soon as the summer comes, there are quite a lot of mosquitoes in the osmanthus forest, no one wants to come here to play, and naturally it has become a secluded corner of the garden.
"Big brother, you are the son of the Li family, as the saying goes, the eldest son is the eldest, so naturally he should be the patriarch, and my younger brother will definitely support you" Li Tan did not beat around the bush and said calmly.
Li Jing was secretly cool, but his face showed a sad color, and he said in a deep voice, "Although I am the boss, but the mother of the second brother is the original match, don't talk nonsense about the fourth brother" Li Tan shook his head, and secretly shouted that this big brother really has no city government, he is a complete fool, and he can't hold his breath, but now the more stupid the better, and persuaded him, "Big brother, according to what you say, don't you want to go to the road of Li Jiancheng like the change of Xuanwu Gate, as the saying goes, strike first is stronger, big brother, you only need to buy a few elders, and there is another key point, that is, Jiazhou Taishou, is the father of Ruoxi's apprentice, as long as you invite him to condole and help you say a few words, there is uncle support inside, and Jiazhou Taishou helps you outside, your chances of winning have increased greatly."
Li Jing glanced sideways at the beauty, saw that her jaw was lightly touched on her pretty face, and fell into deep thought, and she was struggling in her heart.
"Big brother, what kind of person is the second child, you and I both know it, if he becomes the patriarch, he will definitely suppress us everywhere, I am not afraid, it is a big deal to be an official, I don't fight at this time, when the dust settles, it will be too late to regret it" Li Tan said foolishly.
When Li Jing heard this, his eyebrows were a little worried, and he stared at Li Jian vigilantly, and wondered, "Since the fourth brother has this plan, why don't you fight for the patriarch by yourself?"
"The fish is hooked, why are the people in my family so easy to deceive, so Qianzhen won't fall for it" Li Tan thought about it for a moment, immediately retracted his mind, and said in a low voice, "Big brother, listen to me carefully" Li Jian slowly explained the pros and cons, and his breath was undecided, but he heard Li Jing firmly say "Okay" "Fourth brother, if I become the patriarch, what do you want to say about things first" Li Jing stared at him with blazing eyes and said in a deep voice.
"Ten thousand taels of silver, I'll go to Luoyang to buy an official" "Okay, refreshed, after the deed, I will help you" A cool morning breeze blows, and the osmanthus forest sways in the wind.
"Rustle" Suddenly, Li Tan was really angry, and with the momentum of thunder, he strode towards the forest.
Li Jing and Chen Ruoxi took a look, and hurriedly ran to check, only to see a slave of the Li family being beaten to the ground by Li Yan, with a panicked and frightened face.
"Say, who sent you," Li Tan sneered.
Li Jing stared at the servant, his eyes showed a fierce light, and he rushed away with an arrow, and when he raised his foot, he kicked it in the chest.
The slave suddenly turned on his horse, threw his head heavily on the ground, and hurriedly got up and knelt on the ground, panicked, begged for mercy, and said with a crying voice, "The eldest young master, the fourth young master, it was the second young master who asked me to follow you, I deserve to die for my crimes, I am not a person."
"This man's words seem to be true," Li Tan thought with a frown.
He had a good temper, but Li Jing was short-tempered, and when he walked in front of the slave who was begging for mercy, he added his fists and kicks, beat him half to death, and yelled "Whoever comes, where are they all dead?"
"Boom" A moment later, Li Jing's thugs rushed to hear the sound, and he ordered, "Break the limbs of this thief who ate the dog's gall and throw him out of Lijiazhuang."
"Ah, young master, spare me," the servant said in horror.
The thugs around him are not good at stubble, and they surround them with a cruel smile, and they are ready to do such work, and these people are ready to be caught.
But the accident happened suddenly, the slave who seemed to be a wreck, his eyes burst into golden light, his right hand quickly took out a dagger from his arms, and his left hand fell to the ground, like a stilted toad, his feet kicked the ground, and his pointed body burst towards Li Tan.
"Peng" Several fierce thugs were forcibly squeezed away by the strength of their fierce horses, staggered, and fell to the ground.
It all came too fast.
The cold front was like lightning, stabbing straight at Li Tan.
"Huh" Li Tan didn't dare to take it hard, and hurriedly dodged sideways, the servant took the opportunity to pass by, and the dagger was extremely flexible in his hand, and the cold light turned and swept towards Li Tan's neck.
"Be careful" Chen Ruoxi exclaimed when he saw that Li Tan was in danger, and his face was pale.
Li Tan was really angry in his right palm, the cold hair on his body stood up, he didn't dare to underestimate it, he hit this person's chest first, and heard the sound of "Peng", this person received a palm, but he endured severe pain, ran to the high wall in three steps, used his hands and feet at the same time, jumped over the wall, disappeared, everything flowed, without the slightest delay, the technique was skillful, the act was alert, and the skill was agile, and the plan was not a general.
The wind stopped, and the leaves were quiet.
"Huh" Li Tan breathed a long sigh of relief, and his heart palpitated.
Chen Ruoxi moved lightly to his side, her face was full of tenderness, and asked, "Are you okay?"
"That's right, fourth, it's okay" Li Jing also stared at him, said with concern, and swept over several sturdy thugs with anger on his face, and angrily reprimanded, "A group of rice buckets, when you spend Lao Tzu's money, you can do it, a few people can't stop a thief, hum" "Big brother, don't worry, you see, the second brother found a killer, kill me today, I will kill you tomorrow, be careful, fortunately, I have practiced fist and foot kung fu for a few years, if not, I will die tragically in the osmanthus forest today" Li Tan will plan and say.
When Li Jing heard this, a chill immediately appeared on his back, and he said repeatedly, "Fourth, after staying up all night, you better go back and rest early, and leave this matter to me to deal with."
"You guys go and invite Jiazhou boxer Chuzhuang, forget it, I'll go in person" Li Jing, who was already frightened in his heart, glanced at Li Tan and his wife, and arched his hand, "Fourth brother, don't worry, I'll go and ask the head of the Jiazhou Shence Army, and the Jiazhou boxer Chuzhuang hero will come to help the boxing and protect us" "Hmm" A huge white cloud floated in the sky, blocking the sun, in the osmanthus forest, Li Tan looked at the back of Li Jing's departure, until it disappeared completely, then he smiled, faced the heart of the beauty, stretched out his hand to wrap his waist, and comforted, "Madam, it's okay, the top priority is to stay away from right and wrong, find a safe place, improve your strength, I already have an idea, when the time comes, I can modify the Qiankun Gong you have practiced, and the internal strength will be greatly increased."
Chen Ruoxi's soft water pupils fell on Li Yan, and said hurriedly, "Let's go back to the room and see Ji'er, if he is also captured by gangsters, what if he is also taken captive by gangsters?"
"Well, let's go" The two of them strode through the garden path and down the corridor back to their small courtyard room.
"This group of people seems to have a very disregard for human life, and secretly want to kill me," Li Tan thought as he walked.
After a while, the two arrived at Li Tan's room, only to see Xie Xiaofeng, Fang Qingqing and others were bored and practicing calligraphy with Xiao Li Ji in the house, Xiao Mengwa saw her parents, her face was happy, she trotted to the two, and said with a smile, "Daddy, you're back" Chen Ruoxi leaned over and hugged her waist, a smile appeared on her beautiful face, and she said gently, "Ji'er is not well-behaved, is it naughty?"
"Pack your luggage, Piaofu, now I'll give you a task, take your junior sisters and disciples to your house for a few days, it's not safe here" Li Tan saw Liu Piaoxu sitting on the chair, and hurriedly ordered.
"Ji'er, madam, you leave here quickly, I'll pick you up when the time comes" Li Tan turned his head and swept over everyone, helplessly.
The danger just now made him extremely worried, and the assassin was definitely not a killer found by the second child of the Li family, he definitely belonged to a strong force, and he couldn't deal with it, so he could only let his family hide for a while.

Perhaps everyone felt the pressure Li Tan was facing, and Liu Piaoxu, who had always looked at him unpleasantly, also nodded silently.
Chen Ruoxi really wanted to accompany Li Tan at this moment of crisis, but she looked at the immature smile in her arms, and sighed, "Okay, then you have to be careful, we will wait for you at the Liu family" "Well, Piaofu, I'm going to ask you this time," Li Tan said.
Hearing this, Liu Piaoxu glanced at Li Tan and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I will definitely take care of Master, you be careful" A few people packed their bags and left in a hurry before they had stayed for a day.
It was nearly dusk, and the noisy noise in the village made Li Tan even more upset, and the room was full of his pacing footprints.
"The person in the dark must be the Qingcheng faction, Qingcheng County belongs to Shuzhou, my Leshan is Jiazhou, I can't imagine that they are so strong in Sichuan, meow, I can't sit still, I have to find a way to resolve it" In the early morning of the next day, the sky was gray, and it took three days for Li Jiazhuang to cry and mourn, and it was only the second day, but Li Tan was the only son who led a good horse, jumped on the horse, and galloped on the official road.
Near noon, Jiannan Road, Chengdu Mansion Li Family.
"Click" A young man holding the reins, behind the horse four hooves stepped on the bluestone road, making a rhythmic, crisp and pleasant sound, he walked at the end of a four-horse wide street, stopped in front of a palace-like mansion, only to see the door of two half-zhang high mighty stone lions stand on both sides, open teeth dancing and grasping, revealing sharp fangs, lifelike, more imposing, more than two feet of the door hanging the word Li Fu.
This Li Mansion has no relationship with Jiazhou Li Jiazhuang, but the owner of this family is extremely noble, the current head of the Li family is the former Annan Festival envoy, who once held tens of thousands of troops, and sat on one side of the powerful man, Li Zulong.
Two soldiers wearing armor, leather helmets, and swords hanging from their waists at the gate of the Li Mansion saw Li Tan coming to the door, and immediately shouted and asked, "Who is coming and what is the matter?"
"Contemptible Jiazhou Li Tan, come to visit my friend Li Jia's third son, Li Qi, and ask the two of you to go and report" Li Tan said politely.
"Oh, wait a minute, I'll go to the court."
After half a pillar of incense, a burly young man in his 30s walked out of the door.
"Hahaha, Li Tan, how can you kid come to my house with spare time," Li Pan greeted with a hearty smile.
After a pause, he had already walked in front of Li Tan.
I saw that he was eight feet tall, dressed in a power suit, with thick black hair tied in a bun, and a full beard, which looked particularly rough, but this person was born in a family of military generals, but he was an authentic student, which looked a little funny and weird.
"Li Pan, I'm in trouble," Li Tan stood at the door and said calmly.
"Oh, talk inside, please" "Please" Entering the mansion gate, Li Tan saw a martial arts training ground dozens of zhang large, with all kinds of weapons placed on the high wooden frame on the side of the field, although the scorching sun was in the sky overhead, it was noon, and the temperature was extremely high, but there were still dozens of sturdy men wearing sackcloth who were "hehe" roaring and practicing, which made Li Tan curious and sideways to watch.
Li Pan took it to a guest room, lifted a large teapot and poured two cups of water, handed him a glass, and asked, "What's the matter?"
"That's right," Li Tan told him about his troubles.
Li Pan and Li Tan are friends who met by chance, at the age of 25, Li Tan opened the acupuncture points in the Ren vein, naturally very comfortable, ran to Chengdu alone to play, met this person in a teahouse, saw him refuting with others, arguing, and also participated, and said some ideas in later generations, but it was questioned by several students for no reason, and he wanted to prove the argument with evidence, and in a fit of anger, he beat a few people, but it was highly admired by Li Pan, the two changed places, continued to drink nonsense, but formed a friendship.
In desperation this time, Li Tan also came to ask him to help mediate with the Qingcheng faction. t1706231537:
