All Heavens: Starting with Little Li Flying Dagger

Chapter 42 Setting a trap to lure the snake out of its hole

Tie Chuanjia also picked up a piece of paper that had been thrown into the yard.

Upon unfolding it, it said that someone was going to raid Li Garden at night, wanting to steal the "Lianhua Baojian" (a book on pitying flowers).

Gu Yu found Li Xunhuan.

"Brother Li, this is a conspiracy. The news spread so quickly, it must be the Money Gang secretly stirring things up."

"good!"

Li Xunhuan nodded.

Gu Yu said, "Obviously, this is aimed at me. I can't stay here and drag everyone else into this."

Li Xunhuan said with a serious expression, "Brother Gu, am I, Li Xunhuan, a person who fears trouble?"

Gu Yu laughed and said, "I know, but the other side is in the dark while we are in the light, which puts us at a disadvantage. There are many greedy people in the martial arts world, and they will inevitably rush to the aid of the 'Pitying Flower Precious Mirror,' keeping us busy dealing with them."

"Moreover, the Money Gang is secretly pushing things along behind the scenes. It seems that Shangguan Jin Hong also wants to obtain the 'Lianhua Precious Mirror' but cannot do it himself, so he will definitely incite more people to come and then reap the benefits."

At this moment, Afei interjected, "Brother Gu is right. Why don't I leave with Brother Gu and deliberately reveal the 'Pitying Flower Precious Mirror' to make those who are always in the shadows show themselves?"

Gu Yu laughed and said, "Just as I thought. Let's use the 'Pitying Flower Precious Mirror' as bait to lure the snake out of its hole."

Li Xunhuan pondered for a moment, then finally sighed, "Alright, since you two have made up your minds, I won't force you to stay..."

He knew that with Gu Yu and A Fei's skills, there were very few people in the martial arts world who could hurt them.

Besides, the two of them are so young and lack experience in the ways of the world; they should go out and explore more.

"Brother Gu, Brother Afei, if you encounter any trouble you can't handle, be sure to let me know. No matter how far away, I'll come right away!"

This is Li Xunhuan's promise!

It is said that a promise is worth a thousand pieces of gold.

In fact, let alone a thousand pieces of gold, even ten thousand pieces of gold, there are probably people in the martial arts world who would be willing to buy a promise from Li Xunhuan.

"Are you leaving?"

For some reason, seeing Gu Yu carrying his luggage to say goodbye, Hua Baifeng felt a pang of reluctance.

She knew very well that her reluctance to part with the body was not because of the treatment of the cold poison.

Mr. Mei said that her cold poison has been almost completely cleared, and after taking some medicine to consolidate the effect, it will be completely resolved.

Gu Yu smiled and said, "Madam, you know my current situation. I'm in the open, which puts me in a very passive position."

Hua Baifeng sighed, "Then...then you must be extra careful. The world is dangerous, so you must be cautious in everything you do."

Gu Yu nodded: "Yes, I will."

"Third Sister and I are also preparing to return to Tianshan. Thank you for treating my cold poison during this time."

"It's nothing, Madam, you don't need to be so polite."

In front of the lady, Shen Sanniang could not reveal her feelings, so she could only softly admonish her: "There are no shortage of desperate people in the martial world, nor are there any shortage of despicable methods. You must be on guard at all times and do not trust anyone easily..."

He paused, then couldn't help adding, "Especially beautiful women!"

Gu Yu smiled meaningfully: "Don't worry, I'll be careful."

Not long after, Gu Yu and A Fei left Li Garden together and headed west of the city.

After walking a short distance, Afei laughed and said, "There are people watching us."

"I'm worried no one's watching. There's a tavern up ahead, let's go in and sit for a while."

So the two went into the tavern and ordered some food and drinks.

Not long after they went in, two men also entered the tavern and sat at another table.

After drinking a few cups, Ah Fei "accidentally" bumped into the package, which fell to the ground and then, coincidentally, scattered.

Inside were a few silver ingots, a change of clothes, and two books.

The man sitting at the other table could see it clearly; there were several large handwritten characters on the cover of the book—"The Precious Mirror of Pitying Flowers"!

"Ah Fei, how could you be so careless?"

Gu Yu stood up in a flustered manner, gathered the package back together, tied it up, and put it back on the table.

"Brother Gu, it's getting late, the city gates will be closing soon."

"Okay, let's buy two jars of wine and drink them slowly outside the city."

The world is in chaos now, and many temples are abandoned.

As darkness fell, Gu Yu and A Fei discovered another abandoned temple and went inside together.

This dilapidated temple is larger in scale, with three courtyards in the front and back, including a main hall, side halls, and a rear hall. It must have been a place of great religious activity in the past.

After entering the temple, the two went their separate ways and wandered around the temple before finally setting up a fire pit in the back hall and sitting down.

"Brother Gu, come on, let's drink!"

"drink!"

The two appeared relaxed, but in reality, they were already prepared for battle.

Even their seating position was carefully chosen, offering a view outside, not far from the west-facing window, and with a crack in the wall behind them.

Even if someone blocks the doors and windows from the outside, they can still kick down the wall and open a passage.

Of course, this possibility is relatively small.

Because true masters usually don't strike immediately; they prefer to hide in the background and be the ones who catch the bird.

Night is falling!

Wisps of mist rose from the mountains and fields.

"Someone's coming!"

Ah Fei, holding his sword, squinted his eyes and whispered something.

He began surviving alone in the wild at the age of seven, and the harsh environment gave him a sense of perception far beyond that of ordinary people.

"Um!"

Gu Yu also closed his eyes and responded softly.

Outside, a dozen dark figures walked out of the temple and then split into four groups, sneaking into the temple from different directions.

"There's a fire in the rear hall!"

Someone whispered something.

"Everyone must be careful; these two are not easy to deal with."

"What are you afraid of? There are so many of us. If we each throw a hidden weapon in, do you think they can dodge it?"

"That's right, after all, they're not Little Li Flying Daggers."

Despite this, the group was still somewhat uneasy, yet filled with excitement and anticipation at the prospect of seizing the treasure.

Not long after, the group finally sneaked into the backyard.

"They're sleeping!"

Someone whispered something.

"Very good, everyone get ready. We'll attack together in a moment, making sure it's a fatal blow!"

Inside the hall.

Gu Yu, who appeared to be sleeping, suddenly raised his hand and tossed it.

"Bang!"

A stone the size of an egg pierced through the roof tiles in an instant.

"what!"

Then, a scream rang out.

A middle-aged man coughed up blood and tumbled off the roof.

"not good!"

Someone exclaimed in surprise.

"Attack together!"

Now that they had been exposed, the group no longer cared about concealing themselves. Clutching their hidden weapons, they rushed towards the door and windows.

To everyone's surprise, Gu Yu and A Fei were even faster.

Before the group could throw their hidden weapons, the two of them had already rushed out like a whirlwind.

The first to suffer was "Hercules" Duan Kaishan, who was stabbed in the throat by Afei's sword, and had no chance to use his strength.

Gu Yu was not slow either.

With a flash of sword light, the blade swept diagonally across, and the Poisonous Woman immediately screamed as blood gushed from her neck like a fountain.

"We've fallen for their trap, let's retreat!"

Then someone shouted.

Unfortunately, it was too late!

Gu Yu thought tonight would be a big battle, but all that came were some amateurs.

Of course, this is relative to his and Afei's strength.

In reality, the most active figures in the martial arts world are often second- or third-rate characters, many of whom are fond of seeking fame and reputation and often consider themselves great heroes.

For example, people like Zhao Zhengyi, Qin Xiaoyi, and Long Xiaoyun...
