"I think of Senior Brother Shen." Hong Xiaofu murmured softly.

"Who is Senior Brother Shen?" Master Ji didn't know why and couldn't help but ask.

"A senior brother worthy of...admiration."

Li Mo looked at Master Ji and then at Hong Xiaofu. The two of them raised their glasses tacitly, toasted in the direction of Luofu Mountain, and drank it all in one gulp.

…

evening.

Li Mo attended the meeting as scheduled.

In the quiet courtyard, a seven-story building stands in the southeast corner, looking very inconspicuous.

This small courtyard was built next to the river, and there were no buildings around it within a hundred feet.

The Gilded River is the most prosperous river in the capital. In the distance, there are waves of paddles, lights, and flowers.

Li Mo vaguely remembered that the imperial court had its own laws, and no residence or business could be built along the river. It was for this reason that the grand scene of the "Ten-mile Flower Boat" on the Liujin River was created.

"The Star Tower... was actually built here..." Li Mo murmured softly.

Just this small, inconspicuous courtyard is enough to show how powerful the Xingchen Tower is.

Under the dim yellow lantern, the gate of the small courtyard is open.

When two maids with fresh looks saw Li Mo coming, they led him straight into the backyard without asking.

The sound of the piano rises leisurely and turns into a drunken sleep in the night wind.

In a dark place with a lamp, the moonlight illuminated a slender figure.

That was a young man, looking at the moon. His profile was as handsome as an axe, a knife and a chisel. His water-sleeved gown had the style of a sage.

"Yuan Changqing!?"

Li Mo's face slightly condensed. He was still a hundred steps away, and he could feel the looming aura of the man in front of him. The whole courtyard seemed to be shrouded. Once he stepped in, even insects and ants were under the control of this aura.

middle.

This kind of different feeling was something Li Mo had never felt before, even in Wang Lingce.

"Li Mo is here..."

At this moment, Yuan Changqing turned around and cast his soft eyes on Li Mo. Although it was as clear as a spring, Li Mo felt that the hairs all over his body stood up and he instinctively sensed danger.

"Senior Brother Yuan." Li Mo said, cupping his fists.

"Come, come, come...Junior brother is the new leader of the list, Hongmen's hope for the future, so there is no need to be polite here..."

Yuan Changqing seemed extremely enthusiastic. He reached out his hand and wanted to pull Li Mo.

Suddenly, his hand stopped in mid-air, and he actually took out a handkerchief with his other hand. He wiped the palm and back of his hand repeatedly until they were red. Then he threw the handkerchief into the stove next to him and pulled Li Mo to sit down.

.

"What's going on? I told you that the tables and chairs should be changed every day."

As soon as Li Mo sat down, he saw Yuan Changqing standing in front of the main seat with an angry look on his face.

"My slave just changed today..."

Peng...

As soon as the words fell, the maid who bent down to explain flew out and hit the wall hard. Scarlet blood mixed with white syrup splashed all over the floor.

"How come the one I just replaced is gray?" Yuan Changqing said calmly with a cold face.

As he spoke, he took out another handkerchief and wiped his palms repeatedly.

The sudden scene made Li Mo frown.

At this moment, two men had already stepped forward and replaced all the tables and chairs in the main seat. Even the leather satin covering them was new.

Upon seeing this, Yuan Changqing showed a satisfied look and sat down.

"I made my brother laugh."

Yuan Changqing looked at Li Mo and showed a warm smile again, as if the spring breeze was ten miles away, making people feel intoxicated.

However, Li Mo's eyes fell on the corpse of the maid...

A man dragged it down, leaving a shocking trail of blood, while two old servants worked hard to scrub away the blood stains on the wall.

"Dirty things, why did you forget the rules again... Just replace that wall... How can you clean it?"

Yuan Changqing shouted loudly, and the two old servants were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground and were helped down by the man next to them.

"You're such a shameless person, it makes my junior brother laugh." Yuan Changqing turned around and said with a kind smile.

"Senior Brother Yuan, are you kidding me?"

Li Mo frowned slightly, feeling that the earth disciple in front of him was indescribably weird.

"Why did Junior Brother say this? Today, on behalf of Xingchen Tower, I invite Junior Brother to come here with full sincerity."

Yuan Changqing took out his handkerchief, wiped his hands, and said with a chuckle: "Junior brother is young and promising. He just entered Hongmen and made great achievements. Even Han Jingfei died in your hands... He has a bright future."

"Senior brother, are you here for Han Jingfei?" Li Mo said calmly.

"Junior brother has misunderstood. Although Han Jingfei is a member of our Xingchen Building, he is also a secret agent of Guixu. His death is not a pity... Our Xingchen Building has already removed him."

Yuan Changqing smiled and said: "Junior brother's move is to demonstrate justice and clear out the scum in our Xingchen Tower..."

"How could I stand up for such a thing?" Yuan Changqing sneered: "Today I am indeed sincere in inviting my junior brother to my Xingchen Tower."

After saying this, Yuan Changqing looked at Li Mo and saw that he remained calm and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"To show my sincerity, I will give you a meeting gift, brother."

As he spoke, Yuan Changqing raised the handkerchief, and heard a sudden sound of heavy chains being pulled.

Li Mo looked up and saw a coffin made of ice lowered slowly on top of the seven-story building and landed in the small courtyard with a thud.

Li Mo looked at it intently, and his expression changed slightly.

There was a figure lying in the cold coffin, which seemed familiar and lifelike. It was actually an old friend.
