"What did my father-in-law say?"
As soon as Meng Li's question was spoken, a servant's report came from outside the door: "Young master, the Iron Alliance Leader is here."
Meng Li and Tie Xinlan were stunned.
Immediately, Meng Li said: "Got it, I'll go over right away."
After saying that, he and Tie Xinlan tidied up a little, and then went to the front hall side by side.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the place, Tie Ruyun raised his palm to attack Meng Li.
This shocked Meng Li and Tie Xinlan.
Then, Meng Li reacted quickly, pushing Tie Xinlan away with one hand and raising his palm in response.
The two palms touched, and they only stalemated for a moment before dividing the highs.
Meng Li stood still, Tie Ruyun took several steps back.
Tie Xinlan was surprised to see this, and then looked at Tie Ruyun and wanted to ask him why he attacked Meng Li.
Unexpectedly, Tie Ruyun took the first step and said: "That mysterious master is really you!"
Hearing this, Meng Lidun knew the reason why Tie Ruyun made a move, and after thinking about it for a while, he did not deny it, but said curiously: "How did my father-in-law know?"
Tie Ruyun didn't speak, and took out a note and a book from his arms.
Meng Li understood, the problem was in the handwriting.
This is indeed his negligence.
After Tie Ruyun came back, he told his daughter what had happened to him, Tie Xinlan was not stupid, and when she saw this situation, she quickly realized what was going on.
She looked at Meng Li in astonishment: "Are you the mysterious master who secretly helped my father out one after another?"
Meng Li nodded.
Tie Xinlan turned from surprise to joy, and then wondered: "Then why are you hiding your identity and pretending to be mysterious?"
Tie Ruyun also asked this question, but when he saw his daughter asking, he didn't speak.
Meng Li replied: "A master of unknown origin is far more likely to be fearful than a known opponent. The East Factory is too powerful and has many ears and eyes, if I don't hide my identity, what should they do if they target you and the people of Tiejiazhuang and Mengjiazhuang?"
"Even if I join forces with my father-in-law at that time, I will inevitably throw a rat taboo."
Tie Xinlan nodded, and then seemed to think of something, and hummed: "You mean that my martial arts skills are poor, and I am a drag."
Meng Li looked up at Fang Liang: "This is what you said yourself, I didn't say it."
Seeing this, Tie Xinlan didn't understand that she was right, so she immediately beat him dissatisfied and said angrily: "That's what you mean!"
When Tie Ruyun saw this, he coughed unnaturally twice.
Tie Xinlan immediately put away his flirting posture and lowered his head to act as an ostrich.
She almost forgot that her father was still there.
Immediately, Tie Ruyun asked Meng Li: "...... your martial arts?"
Meng Li replied: "Father-in-law, I remember telling you a few years ago that I had an accident and practiced a superior martial art."
Tie Ruyun thought about it for a moment and remembered that this was what happened when Meng Li came to propose marriage.
At that time, he just felt that the other party's martial arts were not inferior to his family's heirloom Lion's Heart Skill, so he didn't ask much or think about it......
"Suction in the air?"
Meng Li shook his head: "In addition to this superior martial art, what I obtained at that time was an ancient book that recorded many martial arts secrets. I also saw it in Liu Xilian sucking in the air."
"According to the ancient book, Liu Xi's so-called sucking technique does not exist."
"What can achieve the effect of absorbing energy in the air is the divine skill of the wedding dress!"
"Wedding dress divine skill?" Tie Ruyun was shocked, and then said: "Isn't that the martial art that the Yihua Palace invited the moon to practice? How could it be circulated?"
Meng Li replied: "I don't know this, and it is also one of the reasons why I hide my identity. You know the style of Yihua Palace, father-in-law. Once the invited moon knows that I have practiced the divine skill of wedding dresses, even if this martial art is obtained by my accident, she will not give up."
Tie Ruyun nodded slightly.
Immediately, he seemed to think of something and asked: "You killed Liu Xi?"
After he came back, he originally planned to dismiss the servants as planned, take Tie Xinlan and Meng Li to hide, and wait for the Seven Stars to pass, but learned from his daughter that Meng Li began to chase him not long after he left.
At first, Tie Ruyun was a little confused.
Because he didn't find Meng Li from beginning to end.
Meng Li didn't catch up, took the wrong path, and had an accident?
Just as he was making various guesses, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, thinking of the mysterious master who had helped him many times, and the handwriting that felt somewhat familiar, and then a bold guess came up - Meng Li was the mysterious man!
After that, in order to confirm this conjecture, Tie Ruyun brought a book of Meng Li's own handwritten words from his daughter.
After careful comparison, he determined that the words on the note were the same as the words in the book.
In other words, Meng Li is most likely the mysterious person!
In this way, Meng Li didn't chase him for long, but what he had never discovered could be explained. Because Meng Li is really a mysterious person, his martial arts are undoubtedly stronger than his, and it is normal for him not to be discovered all the way.
Thinking of this, Tie Ruyun's mind also changed.
Hide?
If Meng Li was really a mysterious person, he didn't have to hide at all.
Liu Xi dared to come, so he teamed up with his son-in-law to keep it forever.
As for offending the court because of this...... That's after that, I'll talk about it later. And even if he didn't kill Liu Xi, Liu Xi wouldn't let him go for practice. The power and style of the East Factory are not much different from offending the imperial court.
Since stretching and shrinking is a knife, it is better to cut Liu Xi first.
So, Tie Ruyun gave up the idea of hiding and waited at home for Meng Li's return.
Unexpectedly, the wait lasted for more than a month, just when he thought that Meng Li had an accident and couldn't bear to look for it, the news of Liu Xi's assassination came.
Now he doesn't have to hide at all!
Not long after, Meng Li came back.
Tie Ruyun received the news, and in order to verify his conjectures and doubts, he decided to test it.
That's why there was a scene where he suddenly made a move just now.
And Meng Li was not surprised that Tie Ruyun guessed that he had killed Liu Xi, after all, this was something that was easy to associate.
He nodded: "Not bad."
"I think you can only be a thief for a thousand days, and you can't prevent thieves for a thousand days, so you want to do it once and for all. It was originally expected that it would not take long, but I never thought that Liu Xi would be frightened and hide in the palace for a month after escaping. That's why I'm so late coming back."
The mystery in his heart was solved, and Tie Ruyun stopped as soon as he arrived, but twisted his beard and said: "The front wave of the Yangtze River pushes the back wave, and one wave is stronger than the other."
"You did a good job and thought about it thoughtfully."
"Liu Xi's death is a great harm to martial arts."
Meng Li pursed his lips and asked: "Father-in-law still wants to preside over martial arts affairs?"
Unexpectedly, Tie Ruyun shook his head and said: "No. The day before you came back, that is, yesterday, I received news that the benevolent and righteous Jiang Biehe and the leaders of various factions were preparing to hold a new hero conference in Huangshan in four months to elect a new martial arts leader."
"The old man should abdicate and give way to the virtuous."
Speaking of the back, he couldn't help but laugh at himself.
Defeated the heroes and was elected as the leader of the martial arts alliance? Heh, now it seems like it's just a joke.
Meng Li was stunned.
Jiang Biehe and the heads of various factions held a new hero conference in Huangshan?
