Chapter 89

At 3:00 PM, Li Li Banfeng woke up in a daze and suddenly heard someone calling in his ear.

"The lone smoke of the desert rises straight, the long river sets round!"

"What's round?" Li Li Banfeng opened his eyes and saw the Tang Dao standing in front of him.

Li Li Banfeng was stunned for a long time, but heard the Tang Dao say slowly: "The moment for the decisive battle has arrived."

Almost forgot.

Li Li Banfeng had agreed with the Tang Dao last night to have a decisive battle today.

Flames rose in the phonograph's fuel tank, and a song sounded amidst the puffing steam: "My husband, this little slave said this sword shouldn't be kept."

The Tang Dao turned to the phonograph, seemingly somewhat wary: "One-on-one, a fair decisive battle, others shouldn't interfere."

Sizzle~

The phonograph sneered: "Hey~ you're talking to a woman like me, and you still have so many rules?"

The Tang Dao took two steps back and said to Li Li Banfeng: "You wait to bully the few with the many; even if I lose, I will never be willing to admit defeat."

Whoosh!

Steam puffed.

The phonograph sang slowly: "Who said bullying the few with the many? I don't need him to make a move; I'll make your soul fly away right now."

"You consider this, consider this..."

The Tang Dao was thinking of an excuse. Li Li Banfeng got up, picked up a bucket to drink some water, stretched his muscles and bones, and said to the phonograph: "My lady, he and I have an agreement beforehand. Today is a one-on-one duel, I cannot break my word."

"Husband, this is no child's play. A slight carelessness and this fellow will really take your life."

"My lady, don't worry, I am confident I can defeat it."

The Tang Dao shouted: "These words sound like a hero. Where shall we fight? Shall we go out to fight, or fight here?"

Li Li Banfeng looked around: "Fighting here, I'm afraid of breaking my belongings."

The phonograph reminded: "Husband, if you leave this house, I won't be able to protect you!"

The Tang Dao also wanted to go out to fight; it was worried about the phonograph interfering, but it wasn't easy to say it clearly.

Li Li Banfeng thought for a moment and said: "Let's fight in the third room!"

The phonograph was startled: "What is the third room?"

"The third room, no other meaning." Li Li Banfeng called the newly opened third room the third room.

The Tang Dao also agreed; being further away from the phonograph was naturally good: "Aren't you bringing weapons? I don't kill those who are unarmed."

Li Li Banfeng picked up two daggers from the ground at will. These two daggers were weapons of ordinary Jiang Xiang Society members, and the material and workmanship were very rough.

The Tang Dao was somewhat dissatisfied with these two daggers: "You use such rough weapons to fight me, you look down on me too much."

Li Li Banfeng sneered: "We'll see after we fight."

The two entered the third room. This room had just been opened not long ago, and its area was equivalent to the main room, still quite spacious. Li Li Banfeng and the Tang Dao stood against each wall.

With a clang, the Tang Dao was unsheathed, its cold light shining on Li Li Banfeng's face: "You make the first move, I'll let you have three rounds!"

Li Li Banfeng took a Rust Pellet out of his pocket.

The Tang Dao sneered: "Thinking of taking an elixir now, I'm afraid it's too late."

Li Li Banfeng placed the Rust Pellet on one of the daggers. The dagger, more than ten centimeters long, turned into a pile of rust slag before long.

The Tang Dao was startled and circled back and forth by the wall: "What a powerful elixir, you want to use it against me? I tell you, you might not be able to hurt me, you might not be able to touch me!"

Li Li Banfeng threw the other dagger into the air and threw the Rust Pellet out, hitting the blade edge squarely.

The dagger fell to the ground, covered in rust spots.

The Tang Dao was somewhat flustered, not expecting Li Li Banfeng's move to be so steady and accurate.

But it saw that the Rust Pellet had already fallen to the ground.

"The hero is fearless in the face of danger, the hero will not bend; can I be scared by your petty tricks!" After speaking, the Tang Dao lay horizontally in the center of the room, blocking the path between Li Li Banfeng and the Rust Pellet.

Li Li Banfeng's Rust Pellet had already been thrown; he wouldn't let Li Li Banfeng pick up the elixir again.

Li Li Banfeng took another Rust Pellet out of his pocket, looked at the Tang Dao, and said coldly: "You really have guts."

The Tang Dao retreated to the wall, its blade trembling twice inadvertently.

How could he still have an elixir?

"Speak clearly, are you really letting me move first?" The distance between the two sides was less than five meters; Li Li Banfeng could throw the elixir at any time.

Clang!

"Achieving merit and offering victory to the wise master, painting portraits on the Qilin Pavilion; the subordinate has drifted for a lifetime, finally finding a wise master, willing to offer the labor of a dog or horse." The Tang Dao returned to its scabbard by itself and then lay on the ground.

Sizzle~

The phonograph in the main room sneered, feeling very contemptuous of the Tang Dao.

Li Li Banfeng asked the Tang Dao: "What is your name?"

"The subordinate has no name or surname; the master can call me whatever he likes." The Tang Dao still lay on the ground.

Sizzle~

No name or surname?

The phonograph was somewhat alert.

Li Li Banfeng said to the Tang Dao: "No name or surname, that's not right. You are a magic treasure, you should have a resounding name. I'll give you one!"

"The master bestowing a name is the subordinate's greatest fortune!"

Li Li Banfeng thought for a long time and said: "From now on, I'll call you, Second Sword!"

The Tang Dao felt it was vulgar and slightly rose: "Why not Great Sword?"

Li Li Banfeng took out the sickle: "He followed me first, he is the Great Sword."

The Tang Dao was not very convinced, but didn't say much more.

Li Li Banfeng hung the Tang Dao on his belt, but felt it was somewhat ostentatious, but this sword was too long, and it wasn't very suitable to put it elsewhere.

"The sickle is still more compact." Li Li Banfeng had just sighed when the Tang Dao suddenly became smaller, turning into a dagger less than ten centimeters long.

It really is a good magic treasure, not only can it change size, but it can also understand Li Li Banfeng's intentions.

Li Li Banfeng put away the good sword and returned to the main room. A cloud of steam attacked and rubbed back and forth on Li Li Banfeng's body.

Li Li Banfeng was startled: "My lady, what are you doing?"

The phonograph sang softly: "Husband, 'triumphant return' and 'return' cannot be used together; this little slave is celebrating for my husband."

"Stop celebrating, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold back."

The steam dissipated, but the record was still spinning on the tray.

This sword doesn't seem to be an ordinary magic treasure.

At dusk, Li Li Banfeng walked out of the Portable Abode and entered Qin Qin Xiaopang's courtyard, just in time for Qin Qin Xiaopang to be hanging clothes.

"Seventh Brother, why are you here?" Qin Xiaopang was very happy and hurriedly invited Li Li Banfeng into the room.

"Seventh Brother, have you heard? The Helm Master of the second helm of the Jiang Xiang Society's Medicine King Hall has disappeared. He disappeared inside the helm station, and the dozen or so people around him have all disappeared, neither alive nor dead!"

"There is such a thing? In this way, hasn't the Jiang Xiang Society suffered a great loss of vitality?" Influenced by the Tang Dao, Li Li Banfeng's tone was a bit awkward.

Qin Xiaopang scratched his scalp: "Seventh Brother, why are you speaking so bookishly? The Jiang Xiang Society has certainly been hurt. Not only is the Helm Master gone, but the second helm's sage Zhong Zhong Desong is also gone. Seventh Brother still remembers this person, right? He even came to the bun shop to eat last night."

Li Li Banfeng shook his head and said: "I don't have much of an impression. With such a big thing happening in the Jiang Xiang Society, they must be searching for the murderer everywhere, right?"

Qin Xiaopang shook his head: "I haven't heard of that. Xiang Xiang Guicheng directly became the leader of the second helm, and I haven't seen him go out to find any murderer. Today, he did ask Zhang Liu a few questions, but Zhang Liu didn't pay attention to him."

Li Li Banfeng blew up the Immortal Music Dance Hall, and the Jiang Xiang Society handled it low-key.

This time he directly overturned the second helm's helm station, and the Jiang Xiang Society still handled it low-key?

This made Li Li Banfeng feel that things were becoming more and more subtle.

At 10:00 PM, Li Li Banfeng circled the Outer Gully, returned to the Inner Gully, and arrived near the Feng Family Grocery Store.

A record rack was placed in front of the grocery store. This was the contact method agreed upon by Shopkeeper Feng and Li Li Banfeng. Seeing the record rack proved that Shopkeeper Feng had new news here.

Is it news about the road permit?

Li Li Banfeng wanted to return to Yuezhou as soon as possible, but the 20 million hadn't been gathered yet, mainly because the harvest from the helm station battle was limited.

Only after entering the grocery store did he know that there was no news about the road permit, but the red elixir had already been sold.

Shopkeeper Feng sold it for a good price, 200,000, and he took 20%, giving Li Li Banfeng 160,000.

Li Li Banfeng was very happy and left five more Profound Blazing Elixirs for Shopkeeper Feng to sell on consignment. The goal of 20 million didn't seem so far away.

There were no pedestrians on Paifang Street tonight. With the Jiang Xiang Society having consecutive incidents, people in the Inner Gully didn't dare to go out at night. Li Li Banfeng wanted to buy a newspaper and walked a long way before meeting a newsboy.

The evening newspaper was full of news about the attack on the Jiang Xiang Society's helm station. The headline clearly stated that the Helm Master and the sage had disappeared, and their whereabouts were unknown.

The helm station was attacked, which is a big deal, but logically speaking, the news shouldn't spread so quickly.

This is different from the nature of the Immortal Music Dance Hall. That time Li Li Banfeng used explosives, and the entire Inner Gully was alarmed.

And Li Li Banfeng used tea water at the helm station. If the Jiang Xiang Society wanted to hide it, they could have kept the news from leaking.

Why does it look like they are deliberately letting out the wind?

What is the Jiang Xiang Society's purpose?

Li Li Banfeng glanced at the second page and saw another piece of news: The Lu family successfully reclaimed land in the new territory of Mount Jiangyue, occupying more than 200 mu of land.

In the photo, Li Li Banfeng saw the Lu family head, Lu Lu Dongliang, and also saw an acquaintance.

Private detective Dabo Dabo Ensi!

He is in the new territory of Mount Jiangyue, reclaiming land for the Lu family?

Is he a member of the Lu family?

Wasn't he hired by the Jiang Xiang Society?

Is the Lu family looking for me?

What are they looking for me for?

Could it be that Lu Lu Xiaolan has already come out?

Li Li Banfeng's heart sank. He put away the newspaper and prepared to go to the He family's old mansion to inquire about news.

Walking into Xiao Chuanzi Alley, Li Li Banfeng suddenly heard a familiar voice in the distance.

"Steward Qiu, I'll tell you one more time, we don't know if that's the Lu family's eldest young lady, we haven't seen her."

This tone of voice is too recognizable.

Xiao Yeci?

Why would she come here?

Is she looking for the eldest young lady of the Lu family?

Li Li Banfeng realized the situation was not good and immediately took out the key and entered the Portable Abode.

Xiao Yeci, Lu Lu Chunying, and the Lu family's head steward Qiu Qiu Zhiheng walked into the alley together. Xiao Yeci emphasized again: "We really haven't seen the eldest young lady. If you've mistaken the person, please don't take offense."

Qiu Qiu Zhiheng smiled slightly: "Madam, Young Lady, you don't need to worry, I'm just here to take a look."

After the three walked away, Li Li Banfeng walked out of the Portable Abode silently.

In the night, he could barely see the backs of the three.

Xiao Yeci, recognized.

Lu Lu Chunying, recognized.

And another person, who seemed to be recognized, because his figure was too distinctive.

Over 1.8 meters tall, weighing less than 80 jin.

Monkey Qiu, the Monkey Qiu who saved my life.

PS: Dear readers, Steward Qiu is here; a bigger good show is about to be staged.
