C16 Semi herb
The flags were like a cloud of yellow sand. Saber lights flashed like shadows, and blood stained the yellow sand.
Li Ke followed his grandfather, Li Chen, passing by Ding Yuan. Listening to Li Chen tell the story of his ancestors' war against the world, he felt his blood boil.
Hearing the interesting part, Li Ke also had the urge to enlist in the army from the beginning.
Turning his head to look at Dingyuan City behind him, Li Ke asked, "Grandfather, do you want me to join the army as well?"
Li Chen shook his head and said, "No! I'm not asking you to be a soldier, but I want you to learn how to lead troops. Remember that a person's power is always limited. Of course, if you can cross the Earth Stage and become a powerful warrior, you can ignore the power in the group. "
The King of War was not just for fun.
After bypassing Dingyuan, the grandfather and grandson duo sped up. After the second night at Yongkang, they arrived at Huainan City's main market. Outside the capital city of Huainan, there were a few large markets. They were known as the Datong, Xie, Shoucheng, Gongshan, and the mouth of the river, and they were spread throughout Huainan's territory in over a dozen small markets.
Every market is a village of varying sizes.
The main square was bustling with noise and excitement. The central Acropolis City was more than 700 paces long, and was even more majestic than some of the poorer counties.
It was already late at night, so the grandfather and grandson duo were in no hurry to bypass Nanchang and find a cheap hotel in Chase. After handing the horses over to the waiter and taking them to the backyard, the two of them entered the hotel. Li Chen took out his tooth token and checked in, while Li Ke surrounded him. It had been a long time since he had returned to Huainan, and he felt that everything was so unfamiliar.
Suddenly, Li Ke noticed that there was an extra large notice pasted on the panel in the lobby of the hotel.
Upon entering to take a closer look, Li Ke's heart tightened.
Huai Nan Liu family's Thirteenth Miss was severely ill. She was willing to pay a hefty sum of money to hire a world-renowned doctor to treat her illness. The Liu family would definitely reward Thirteenth Miss handsomely for saving her life.
"How could this be?"
Li Ke panicked. At this moment, there was no love between a man and a woman in Li Ke's heart. He was only unavoidably anxious when he heard that his playmate had been seriously ill as a child.
Inside the main hall, Li Ke did not dare to make a scene. He waited for the waiter to lead the two of them into the guest room. Only then did Li Ke speak to Li Chen in a low voice, begging, "Grandfather, give me those two fruits, I'm going to save Jun'er."
Li Chen knew Li Ke's temperament. Considering the Liu family's power, if they were to go with the two fruits, others would surely know that they had an entire Spirit Grass.
Only if Li Ke did not go with Liu Zhengjun would he be able to keep the secret of the Spirit Communication Grass.
Looking at Li Ke's eager expression, Li Chen thought for a while, then took out the entire Spirit Communication Grass and left six leaves, a flower and half of the root in front of Li Ke. He then handed the rest to Li Ke. "If someone were to ask you why are there so few leaves, how would you answer?"
Li Ke said, "Is there anyone in the Liu family who doesn't know what's good for them?"
Li Chen said, "It's hard to predict the human heart. Old man Gong and Xiaoxiao are such good people. If you continue to look at those little schemes of the Gong Family, we can't expect everyone to return the favor and be on guard against others."
"I said I ate it."
"That's a good reason. Your cultivation rose so fast, it makes sense."
Li Ke took them all and left the hotel, sprinting to the main entrance. At this moment, the door had already been locked, and no one was allowed to pass through. Li Ke didn't care about anything else, he just stuck to the city wall and grabbed the diamond crack he spat out as he quickly ran to the top of the city.
The city guards were shocked as they all picked up their weapons.
Li Ke opened the Liu family's bounty for Thirteenth Miss and loudly announced, "I have a way to treat Thirteenth Miss' illness. Take me to the Liu Manor."
The defenders looked at each other, unable to make heads or tails of the situation.
Li Ke was too young to be a doctor, and his martial arts didn't match his age.
The little school guarding the city was the first to react. Walking up to him, he asked, "Can you really cure Thirteenth Miss?"
Li Ke said, "What a joke. I don't have the slightest confidence. Do I really have to rush to accept the name list and climb the city wall?" Even if you want to die, you wouldn't do it that way. "
On the way, he threatened Li Ke, "Don't lie to me. If you talk nonsense, don't even think about coming out of the Liu residence alive."
"Bring me your way. Even if you cut my head off, it won't affect you in the slightest."
"Hmph, if you can't cure the young miss, then there will be a time when you cry."
Arriving at the Liu Estate, he entered through a side door. The school reported on Li Ke's situation. The butler at the side door saw that Li Ke was too young and refused to believe that Li Ke was a doctor. He was going to call someone to kill Li Ke. He scolded loudly: "You little b * stard, you actually dare to cheat in the Liu residence. Beat him to death, throw him out if he wants to die."
Li Ke was not satisfied with this. He immediately started fighting with the guards, beating the five men so hard that their teeth were all over the floor.
The butler at the side door was taken hostage by Li Ke as he confronted the Liu Manor guards who had rushed over upon hearing the news. Li Ke loudly scolded, "I kindly accepted the name list to save people, yet you call me a thief and even beat me to death. What kind of logic is this?"
The Liu Residence had a large number of people. Li Ke didn't have the ability to fight in the entire area, so he could only shout for people to come out and negotiate with him.
"Let the butler go first."
The guard leader scolded loudly: "Is the Liu Estate a place for you to cause trouble? Let go of the butler and I can still plead for mercy in front of the lord. Otherwise, you will be annihilated from the entire family clan! "
Li Ke angrily said, "Stop lying to me. Do you think I'm a child that hasn't reached the age of one? "Tell those of you who can speak to come out."
"Just tell me."
"You are not qualified. Since Thirteenth Miss is sick, please ask the father of Thirteenth Miss to come out and ask for Madam Zhu to meet him. Tell him that an old friend of his is here to see you."
Li Ke was neither humble nor arrogant. He didn't show the slightest sign of fear when facing hundreds of Liu Family guards.
Hearing what Li Ke said, the head guard actually knew that Thirteenth Miss' birth mother was Madam Zhu. He was afraid that it was really her old friend who had come to help, so he didn't dare to take on too much responsibility and sent someone to the manor to report.
Just as they were about to leave, a young man dressed as a young master walked into the yard. "Why are you making such a ruckus?" he asked impatiently.
"Please calm your anger, Seventh Young Master."
The guard leader smiled apologetically as he explained the situation.
Seventh Young Master Liu Wenyi was considered an outstanding figure in the third generation of the Liu Clan. This year, he was 15 years old and already possessed the strength of a level six martial artist. If not for Liu Zhengjun's sudden emergence, he would have been the most talented person in the third generation.
It was a pity that Liu Zhenjun was too talented. At the age of eight, he had already become a Level 7 Warrior. He did not train hard and just played around outside. He could easily become a Level 7 Warrior.
In the eyes of his siblings, Liu Zhengjun was a monster, not a cute sister.
Liu Wenyi looked at Li Ke with a smile, but his eyes were cold. This damnable Thirteen was severely ill. He was on the verge of death, so how could he possibly save her again? Even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance of that happening, Liu Wenyi still wanted to stop him. At the same time, seeing that Li Ke was still young and was also a Level 7 Warrior, and hearing that he was a friend of Liu Zhengjun, the hatred in his heart grew even stronger.
The extreme feelings he had for his sister grew endlessly in Liu Wenyi's heart. In the end, he grew into a fierce beast called "Jealousy".
"Words have no basis. How do you know? He will definitely be able to save Thirteen." Liu Wenyi wasn't in a hurry to kill Li Ke, so he asked him cordially instead.
Li Ke replied, "I have something that can save Thirteenth Miss. Even if it isn't completely cured, it shouldn't be a problem to extend her life."
"Oh!?" Could it be some sort of divine medicine? "Take it out and take a look. If you can really save Thirteen, I'll personally lead you there."
Greed rose in Liu Wenyi's heart. Li Ke was extremely careful and did not reply. Instead, he said, "When Madam Zhu arrives, I will naturally take it out. I won't trouble Seventh Young Master to trouble you further."
"If you don't want it, I'll take it myself."
Liu Wenyi wasn't waiting. If Zhu Jun Pingping came, how would he destroy everything? He ordered the guards beside him, "Cheng Hu, go capture this man."
"Yes sir!"
Amongst Liu Wenyi's guards, Cheng Hu was the strongest, reaching the level of a Level 8 Intermediate Warrior.
"Is this how the Liu family treats their guests?"
When Li Ke saw Cheng Hu rushing over, he did not panic and picked up the hostage to block him. Liu Wen Yi sneered: "You're also a guest? You overestimate yourself, kill! "
Cheng Hu let out a loud roar as he threw out a punch. The sound of thunder could be heard in the entire wind.
"No!" The hostage cried out miserably. He had been ordered by Liu Wenyi to make it difficult for the person to accept the proposal. Who would have thought that he would be taken hostage and then killed by Liu Wenyi.
Ignoring the hostage's pleas, Cheng Hu's first punch struck the hostage 's head, turning it into a rotten watermelon after being crushed by the wheel.
Li Ke let go of the corpse and retreated, picking up a spear from the ground.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
Cheng Hu and Li Ke roared together.
Having lived in Gong Hu's house for two years, he had often seen Gong Hu practice his spear there. Even if Li Ke didn't specially learn, he could at least learn a lot.
Cheng Hu had used the Thunderclap Fist, and he was also a Level 8 Warrior. Li Ke couldn't fight him head on, so he could only find a way to stall for time, all the way until Zhu Junping arrived.
Li Ke swung his long spear about like a spirit serpent spitting out its tongue as he fought Cheng Hu.
Cheng Hu hadn't thought that a seemingly twelve or thirteen year old kid would be caught unprepared by such an exquisite spear technique.
In a battle between fighters, the weapons would be inch-long and inch-long, and inch-short.
Cheng Hu's strength in close combat was boundless. Li Ke didn't fight Cheng Hu in close combat. Instead, he relied on his sharp senses and experience from hunting in the forest to actually fight Cheng Hu to a standstill.
Liu Wenyi originally thought that he could capture Li Ke easily, he didn't think that Li Ke would be so hard to deal with. Just as he was about to instruct the guards to go up together, he suddenly saw someone coming from the small door and cursed Li Ke in his heart. It didn't matter if the one who had come was Jun Pingping or not. Liu Wenyi's plan to take the gunpowder would come to naught. He ordered, "Cheng Hu, come back."
Cheng Hu took a step back when he heard the order. In that instant, Li Ke stabbed out with his spear.
Li Ke didn't care if Cheng Hu retreated or not. The two had fought to the point of life and death, Li Ke definitely wouldn't show mercy. Since Cheng Hu wanted to kill him earlier, he must kill.
In that instant, the long spear in Li Ke's hand had already pierced through Cheng Hu's throat. The tip of the spear was pierced through the back of Cheng Hu's throat.
"How dare you!" Liu Wenyi's eyes turned red. This time, he suffered a huge loss.
"What's going on?" Ning Xiaoyao heard his voice coming from the corner of the gate.
Li Ke kept his spear and said, "Greetings Madam Zhu. I've come to deliver medicine and these people have come to stop me without reason. They even want to rob me of the medicine I've brought. Lady Zhu, please see me first."
Liu Wenyi didn't angrily frame Li Ke for barging into the Liu Estate and committing murder. Instead, he turned around and left with quick steps.
Li Ke looked at Liu Wenyi's back and secretly sighed in admiration at Liu Wenyi's ability to endure. Today, he had received his enmity, so there was bound to be a battle in the future.
He had originally wanted to be a good person, but who would've thought that he would offend the seventh young master who was so high up on top.
Zhu Junping recognized Li Ke very quickly and said, "It's you. What medicine did you bring? Are you sure you can save Jun'er?"
Li Ke said, "I've brought half a Spirit Communication Grass. Even if it can't cure Thirteenth Miss' illness, it should be possible to extend her life by a bit."
"Good, this is great."
Zhu Jun asked excitedly, "The medicine is in there, do you have it with you?"
"I've brought it." "Don't take it out yet. Come with me. Jun'er would like to meet with you if you've been away from Huainan for more than two years."
"Yes sir!"
Li Ke followed Zhu Pingjun inside.
Liu Wenyi, who was hiding not too far away, heard that it was' Spirit Grass'. He clenched his teeth until they made a gurgling sound. If he attacked as soon as he went in, the Spirit Grass that killed Li Ke would be his. At that time, he wouldn't take it out even if someone asked him to. He would just eat it directly into his stomach while the others would dare to cut his stomach with their knives.
Damn it! Damn it!
The hatred in the corner was boundless.
