El mundo de las artes marciales es un pozo

Capítulo 16

"Nothing becomes a hidden weapon in your hands?"

"For example, your shoes."

Her face flushed again. After thinking for a moment, Yang Nianqing suddenly let out a cold laugh: "Where are they? You're amazing. Show me how you turn people into hidden weapons too?"

silence.

Li You stared at her intently.

Suddenly, his long eyelashes fluttered twice, and a familiar joyful look reappeared in his bright eyes. On his handsome face, a mysterious and moving smile, like that of Buddha holding up a flower, spread out.

"Would you like to give it a try?" A gentle, magnetic voice asked.

Volume One: Why Look for Excuses? Mysterious Figure

Even before she saw him smile, Yang Nianqing had a bad feeling. Hearing these words made her feel even worse. When she realized what was happening and was about to run away, she found that she was no longer on the ground!

Where is this?

Looking at the dark thing beneath her, Yang Nianqing thought for a few seconds, then her hair stood on end. She screamed and jumped to the ground, getting far away.

--coffin!

In the blink of an eye, I found myself inexplicably lying on a coffin, without even feeling a thing! Looking at the coffin wasn't particularly frightening, but lying on it was a different story, especially with a charred corpse underneath…

Her face was pale, and she waved her hands, yelling, "What...what are you doing!"

Li You looked at her hand: "Didn't you say you wanted to give it a try?"

She immediately pointed at He Bi: "Why don't you try it on him?"

“He can run away, it’s easier to test him on you,” Li You sighed. “Also, even if your hands are beautiful, you don’t need to keep waving them around in front of you like that. So barbaric, you’ll probably never get married.”

"Whether I get married or not is none of your business!" Yang Nianqing finally snapped. "Unlike some top-tier experts who are as lazy as pigs, they have hidden weapons but don't use them, and in the end they still have to run for their lives..."

Li You wasn't surprised by her swearing. Instead, he turned around and sat down in a chair, looking extremely relaxed, as if he wanted to slowly savor her anger, or perhaps he was thinking about something.

She felt a little uncomfortable: "What are you looking at!"

"I was just thinking..." He stopped there.

After a while.

Thinking back to her own impure thoughts of framing them as a BL couple, Yang Nianqing immediately put her "petty mind" to work, wondering what filthy ideas this lecherous man was having! Although she knew he was deliberately trying to provoke her into asking, Yang Nianqing couldn't help but fall for his trap: "What are you thinking!"

“I was thinking…” Li You looked at her with amusement for a long time before murmuring, “If I threw you back into the coffin, would you be quieter?”

Yang Nianqing was taken aback for a moment, then retorted sarcastically, "I didn't expect some people to become so diligent. It's a pity they don't use their hidden weapons when it matters, but now they're showing off!"

Although she was being stubborn, she couldn't help but move a little further away from him.

Seeing the two bickering, He Bi seemed to find it amusing and just watched without saying a word.

Nangong Xue's handsome face once again revealed a clean and elegant smile: "Hidden weapons are not swords or knives. Once they are used, they cannot be taken back. Brother Li simply does not want to hurt anyone."

After a long silence.

Yang Nianqing stopped talking and sat down angrily.

Nangong Xue couldn't help but laugh, "Brother Li has always been very polite to women, why are you being so particular now..."

Without a second thought, Li You interrupted him: "Is she a woman?"

"Hei Shilang? It's him?" Yang Nianqing was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, she understood. "It must be that the murderer bribed him and deliberately sent him to distract you."

Li You frowned: "Old Hei? I'm afraid he won't say anything..."

"He said so."

Li You was somewhat surprised: "You told him?"

"I told you to be careful."

Upon hearing this, Li You was taken aback for a moment, and then a cheerful and bright smile gradually appeared in his long, slender eyes: "I should thank him."

He Bi said coldly, "Don't be happy, he hasn't admitted to being your friend."

Li You smiled: "I never thought he would admit it."

After a while.

Nangong Xue frowned: "Hei Silang only ever takes on murder jobs."

He Bi nodded: "He owes that person a favor."

Upon hearing this, Nangong Xue was slightly surprised. After pondering for a moment, she shook her head with a smile: "Hei Silang is known as a half-pound assassin. He is also very fair in business. How could he owe anyone a favor? I have never heard of such a thing."

“Wrong, he did owe Old Li a favor,” He Bi said calmly, picking up his teacup. “Since we’re alive, everyone owes others favors to some extent.”

Yang Nianqing nodded in agreement.

Li You looked at him with amusement: "In that case, I'm afraid you owe me the most."

He Bi actually nodded: "I am truly grateful. Do you want me to repay you?"

"I want to, I really want to," Li You immediately said with a pleased expression, leaning back. "How will you repay me?"

He Bi looked at him: "You know I only have a bunch of cases on my hands..."

Before he could finish speaking, Li You sighed and interrupted him, "Forget it, just please repay me less in the future."

Sure enough, early the next morning, He Bi and Nangong Xue took Zhang Mingchu's body to Jiangzhou, while Li You and Yang Nianqing headed to Lin'an.

To save time, the two traveled day and night, practically sleeping in the carriage. After a few days, Yang Nianqing had gotten used to riding in the carriage, but she was still very puzzled—He Bi and Nangong Xue went to Jiangzhou to investigate Zhang Mingchu, but who exactly were the two of them looking for in Lin'an? And what did it have to do with the case?

Who exactly was that mysterious figure? Li You refused to say. She was naturally very curious and had tried countless methods to get him to reveal the truth along the way, but Li You was not so easily fooled.

"Hey, how far is Lin'an?"

"The trip will take about two days and two nights."

"Really? Heh... What if the person we're looking for isn't here?"

"Won't."

How did you know?

"Because I know him."

They paused for a moment.

"What exactly do we want with him?"

"To find out information."

"Who is he, and how does he know all this?"

"She doesn't know either..."

"Then why should we still look for him?"

"She has a way of finding out."

He choked.

"Who...is he?"

You don't know him.

...

Finally, Yang Nianqing gave up trying in despair and said weakly, "What do you want from me to tell me? You're just teasing me!"

"Playing to pique her interest?" Li You looked at her, then suddenly smiled. "Actually, it's easy to find out..."

"how?"

"You'll know when you get to Lin'an."

I'm going crazy!

"you……"

"You can treat me to a meal if you like."

"Great!" he exclaimed with delight.

"But do you have money?"

"……No."

"So it still doesn't work."

Yang Nianqing slammed her hand on the table and stood up abruptly, furious: "Are you kidding me?"

"How dare I?" Li You leaned back in his chair, touched his ear and smiled wryly: "It's really lucky that my ears haven't gone deaf along the way."

"Serves you right!"

“I’m just worried,” Li You sighed, “that if I were to become deaf, it might be troublesome if someone cried for help…”

Yang Nianqing was stunned for a moment, then sneered: "Are you threatening me?"

"I wouldn't dare."

How could a modern woman like me be so easily threatened? Do you think I'm easily intimidated? I'd rather die than be humiliated. So be it, maybe I can even travel back in time after I die!

Yang Nianqing went all out: "You think I'm afraid?"

“Of course I’m not afraid,” Li You immediately shook his head, looking at her seriously, “As long as you shout, the murderer will definitely cover his ears and run away, so why would I be afraid?”

……

Hangzhou is a famous ancient capital and a renowned cultural city throughout history. It is not only rich in historical sites and beautiful scenery, but it also flourished during the Song Dynasty, a time of great commercial prosperity. On West Lake, yachts and painted boats ply the waters, complementing the countless pavilions and towers. In the alleys and lanes, taverns and teahouses abound, and singing houses and brothels stand side by side. There are also morning and night markets, making it a very lively place.

"Beyond the mountains, green hills rise; beyond the towers, more towers stand. When will the songs and dances of West Lake cease?"

This is the capital city, a paradise of peace and prosperity, a haven for the wealthy, where extravagant lifestyles and hedonistic indulgences can be lived, regardless of the former capital and lost territories of the north.

Yang Nianqing and Li You entered the city on October 3rd.

She stayed with Li You at an inn called "Hongyan Laibin." Winter had arrived, yet the entire city of Lin'an felt no chill or desolation. Yang Nianqing admired it for a while, realizing that she was in the Southern Song Dynasty. It seemed the poor had a hard time surviving here; following the rich was certainly advantageous. Their lodgings weren't priced in copper coins, but two taels of silver a day. While not comparable to a modern five-star hotel, it was still remarkably comfortable. Moreover, two taels of silver was enough for an ordinary person to live frugally for nearly half a year at that time.

After taking a comfortable bath and lying in bed, smelling the delicate sandalwood scent, Yang Nianqing cursed the extravagance in her heart for a long time. Tired of cursing, she decided to put aside her past grievances and take the initiative to go and discuss things with Li You, because she was really curious about who that mysterious person was.

To her surprise, as soon as she stepped out of the room, she found Li You standing outside the door. He seemed to have changed his clothes, which were still white, but inexplicably made him look more bright and flamboyant.
