Chapter 576: Combining Hardness and Softness, if One Plan Fails, Try Another One

Staring at Lian Chengbi's hand, Tu Xiaotian's eyes twitched wildly.

This hand is slender, white, and smooth. The movement of stroking the sword hilt is gentle, slow, and steady. The nails are trimmed just right, and no calluses can be seen between the palms.

This hand looks like a scholar's hand.

But this hand had just held the sword and killed Sikong Shu, the one-armed eagle king who had been famous for decades.

Tu Xiaotian was confident in himself, but at the same time he was also self-aware. Although his acupuncture method was fast, strange, and precise, he had absolutely no chance of winning against the one-armed Eagle King.

If faced with that sword just now...

Tu Xiaotian suppressed his racing heart and gritted his teeth and said, "No matter how many coincidences there are, they are still coincidences. Master Wugou's swordsmanship is unparalleled, and I am absolutely invincible. However, Master Wugou unjustly accuses people without any evidence, and I will never accept it." of!"

At that moment, Tu Xiaotian was almost about to tell the truth under the threat of death.

But he was a veteran after all, so he finally came to his senses and decided to go hard.

Tu Xiaotian knew that he could not be frightened by Lian Chengbi or be taken away by him.

If he admits the inference in Lian Chengbi's words, then he will be his enemy regardless of whether he admits it or not. At that time, his life and death will all depend on Lian Chengbi's thoughts.

But if he insists on it, without evidence, Tu Xiaotian does not believe that Lian Chengbi dares to kill him in public. After all, he is also a Guandong hero who has been doing justice for thirty or forty years!

Tu Xiaotian stared at Lian Chengbi, but Lian Chengbi did not look at Tu Xiaotian. Instead, he was still stroking the scabbard and asked harmoniously, "I don't know why Mr. Tu has always been in Guandong to receive blessings, but why he traveled thousands of miles and came to this northwest Border?"

Tu Xiaotian was well prepared for this and immediately said, "I'm here to pay homage to my friend."

"Who is the friend?"

"One knife cuts through the mountains to seedlings."

"he died?"

"He died outside Jiayuguan a few years ago."

"Dying for what?"

"Resist the bandits."

"Since he passed away a few years ago, why did Mr. Tu come today?"

"Because I only found out recently." Tu Xiaotian sighed, "I wrote a letter at the beginning of the year. I wanted to invite him to visit outside the customs, but when I got a reply from the Longxi Tianwangdao lineage, I found out that he had died here long ago."

"After I learned about it, I packed my bags and headed west. I saw Sikong Shu on the Saibei grassland and walked with him." Tu Xiaotian's eyes were lowered, filled with grief.

"It's my fault for offending Young Master Lian." Tu Xiaotian sighed helplessly, taking retreat as an opportunity to advance, "Just because I was in a trance just now, my mind was not in the center, and I didn't consider Sikong Shu's temper, so I still ask Young Master Lian to punish me."

Yang Kaitai was speechless.

Feng Siniang's brows did not spread, but her eyes softened slightly.

Shen Bijun looked ashamed and deeply apologetic.

"Did Mr. Tu come alone?" Lian Chengbi asked.

"Exactly." Tu Xiaotian said seriously.

"It's no wonder." Lian Chengbi suddenly smiled and said, "If Tu Daxia is with others and has someone to chat with and soothe his mood, he will not be depressed and in a trance."

Mr. Tu became Great Hero Tu, and the biting cold air turned into warm sunshine.

Tu Xiaotian finally breathed a sigh of relief and responded immediately, "What the hell, there are too many coincidences after all. It's reasonable for Master Lian to be provoked by Sikong Shu again, so we can just talk about it."

Yang Kaitai smiled and immediately poured a glass of wine for Tu Xiaotian, "We are here to pay homage to Jiayuguan this time."

"I have already guessed it." Tu Xiaotian raised his glass and said, "Zhuang Zhuang and his wife fought fiercely with the Guanzhong Wulin Road at Jiayuguan, died in the northwest, and carried the coffin to Qilu. I have heard about it for a long time, and I admire it in my heart. I only regret that I was in Guandong back then. Can’t fight alongside them.”

"Thank you!" Shen Bijun raised his glass quietly, and Tu Xiaotian hurriedly returned the gift.

"Young Master Lian is better than his predecessor, Madam Lian is peerless in her grace, and if Old Master Lian and Master Shen are alive in heaven, they would be deeply pleased." Tu Xiaotian complimented.

"Thank you." Lian Chengbi finally put down his sword and raised his wine glass, "I have offended you just now, so please invite Haihan, the hero of Tu."

"Don't dare, don't dare. After all, it was the young man who made the mistake first, and even the young master's suspicions are justified." Tu Xiaotian laughed, waved his hands indifferently, and then raised his glass in return with a warm attitude.

After all, he is still a fledgling, and he was fooled by me!

Tu Xiaotian felt relaxed in his heart, and at the same time he despised Lian Chengbi, but his face remained calm, showing the humility of an old man without any airs.

Seeing Lian Chengbi's performance, Feng Siniang also put aside her doubts, but she had no friendship with Tu Xiaotian, so she was just eating and drinking by herself.

After Yang Kaitai said a few words to Tu Xiaotian, he immediately came to Feng Siniang and helped her tear the meat and pour the wine.

Lian Chengbi seemed to feel guilty for oppressing Tu Xiaotian just now, and kept smiling and chatting with Tu Xiaotian.

"Master Tu has friends all over the world, and he is so loyal that he actually traveled thousands of miles to come here. I admire you." Lian Chengbi said with a smile.

"No, no, this is my duty!" Tu Xiaotian said.

"Since Tu Daxia has come to the northwest, he will try more of the characteristics of the northwest. But I heard that there are many cattle and sheep in Guandong?"

"The cattle and sheep outside the Great Wall also go to Guandong. Between the white mountains and black waters, there is a lot of meat, but the taste is different from the northwest."

"My husband and I also said that we would travel around the world and go to Guandong in the future. Could you please take care of me, Master Tu?"

"Hahaha, even if the young master and his wife come, I will definitely welcome you!"

"Thank you so much. By the way, when did Master Tu come to Suzhou? Have you found an inn?"

"I just arrived today. I have already found an inn. It is at Bansha Inn in the north of the city."

"The battlefield back then was outside Jiayuguan. Are you going there tomorrow, Master Tu?"

"I will go tomorrow."

"Will the young master not accompany you?"

"Of course not..."

Tu Xiaotian said three words. His rosy old face faded almost in the blink of an eye. In an instant, it turned extremely pale. He stared at Lian Chengbi with endless fear, as if he was looking at a devil.

Lian Chengbi's smile was still very polite, gentle, and sincere. "Did he not come, or did he not accompany you?"

Listening to Lian Chengbi's question, Tu Xiaotian's hand holding the wine glass began to tremble.

Yang Kaitai and Feng Siniang of course immediately noticed the changes here. Feng Siniang didn't know what happened, but Yang Kaitai knew the name of the young master and couldn't help but look at Tu Xiaotian in surprise.

The wine glass in Tu Xiaotian's hand suddenly shot towards Lian Chengbi like an arrow, and the wine in the glass also splashed into his eyes.

At the same time, Tu Xiaotian turned back, holding the pipe in his hand to protect his chest to prevent Yang Kaitai and his men from chasing him. He stepped forward and leaped backward, trying to jump out of the window behind to escape.

But he saw from the corner of his eye that Lian Chengbi, who had just sat there, was gone.
