Within the Tang Dynasty, Dehua City (formerly Jiangzhou), inside the Chen Mansion.
Ye Yinfeng was lying lazily on the bed. In front of him was the fat Taoist priest sitting on a Taishi chair, enjoying the comfort brought by the good tea. And to Li Xiaoyao's left was the little fat Li Congjia, who was still sitting there.
He looked listless and had his head drooped, not knowing what he was thinking. He looked at Ye Yinfeng for a while, and then looked at Li Xiaoyao for a while.
At this moment, the sky is already bright, although it is still gray. The Chen Mansion is very lively, with the constant sound of locks, firecrackers, and gongs and drums resounding throughout the Chen Mansion. The Chen Mansion holds a funeral ceremony for the old lady's death.
By the next day, pedestrians on the street were still busy with their own affairs, and were not affected by the huge ritual ceremony of the Chen Mansion.
"You said that Li Ermazi was scared to death by you." Li Xiaoyao listened to Ye Yinfeng's story in a daze. He thought they were going to have an earth-shattering battle, but he didn't expect it to end like this.
"Yeah, I didn't expect that Li Ermazi was the leader of the gangsters in Dehua City, but I didn't expect that he would be as timid as a mouse."
Ye Yinfeng also smiled bitterly at this, he did not expect this to be the case.
"Xiao Liuzi, when are you going back to Jinling? It's better to go back as soon as possible considering how you look like." Seeing the little fat man's appearance, Li Xiaoyao asked him immediately as if he hated iron.
"In a few days, things here will be almost settled, and I have to go back to report to my father."
The little fat man Li Congjia didn't seem to like going back to Jinling very much, but he also felt that it was not suitable to stay here. He felt hesitant and felt sad.
"It doesn't matter if you go back, I will go back with you then. I haven't seen the emperor for several years." After listening, Li Xiaoyao nodded and said.
"Really, that would be great. Then the prince would not dare to bully me."
When Li Congjia heard that his brother-in-law was going back, he was overjoyed. Thinking of his brother Li Hongji, his heart trembled. If Li Xiaoyao went back to Jinling with him, the situation would be much better.
"Junior brother, what about you? Should you stay here or come with us to Jinling?"
Ye Yinfeng looked at the uncle and nephew in a daze. He came back to his senses when he heard Li Xiaoyao ask him.
"I don't care anymore. I just want to find the killers of the 'Tian Tian Alliance' and find out the mastermind behind them. I can go anywhere. But it may be difficult for them to appear in this remote Dehua City. Maybe I can go to Jinling City."
We can find some clues.”
Ye Yinfeng's smiling eyes shone with a fierce light, and his hands couldn't help but clenched tightly. The joints of his fingers exerted force, and a squeaking sound came out. The hatred of destroying the family is irreconcilable, no matter what
No matter how difficult it is, he must avenge his family's blood. No matter how powerful the other party is, he must find the murderer who murdered his family.
"Don't worry, Young Master Ye. When you go to Jinling, I will introduce you to my father. Then I can use my father's power to help you find clues about the 'Assassin's Sky Alliance'."
When Li Congjia heard that the other party had no objection to going to Jinling, he was even more overjoyed. This way he could get a strong helping hand. Although Li Xiaoyao was on his side, he was a member of the royal family after all, and many
It is impossible to go too far, and Li Xiaoyao is not sure how long he can stay in the palace. But Ye Yinfeng is different. With the title of Huainan Talent, he must not be ordinary, and he has relatively high martial arts skills.
Realm. If I get Ye Yinfeng's help, I will definitely no longer be afraid of the prince.
"Your Majesty, please don't call me a young knight anymore. Just call me by my name from now on." Ye Yin was not used to the name Prince Anding used to call him, so he suggested to him.
When Li Xiaoyao heard that this was exactly what he wanted, he immediately narrowed the distance between the two of them.
"Hmph, you have to call me uncle even if you are friends with him. It seems that I have taken advantage of him. From now on, should I call you nephew Feng or junior brother?" Li Xiaoyao screamed strangely. He thought that he had taken advantage of him.
Ye Yinfeng got a big advantage.
"Fat Taoist, the matters between the prince and I should be our own. From now on, you will still be Fat Taoist. If you don't want to, then I can call you Fatty Senior Brother."
Ye Yinfeng couldn't help but hit Li Xiaoyao. For some reason, he felt it was very easy to get along with Li Xiaoyao like this.
Li Xiaoyao was about to get angry at Ye Yinfeng's disrespectful remarks. He stood up and stared fiercely at Ye Yinfeng, who was lying lazily on the bed.
Unexpectedly, at this time, the door of their guest room opened silently, and a yellow dog rushed in from the door. The yellow dog had very little yellow hair left, but it dragged a long red tongue and a pair of dogs.
He stared at Li Xiaoyao with fierce eyes.
The dog's gaze was so intense that the fat Taoist felt a chill in his heart and his whole body felt numb. He felt shuddered in his heart but did not dare to make the slightest move. He watched helplessly as the yellow dog walked towards the bed with three shaking steps.
Ye Yinfeng touched the yellow dog's head, and a burst of sadness surged into his heart. He resisted the tears from falling. This old yellow dog was the one left by his third uncle Ye Ran, and the Ye family in Huainan
Only he and the yellow dog were left. As if he felt Ye Yinfeng's inner sorrow, the yellow dog whimpered and lay down next to the bed.
"Why did your dog only show up now? It didn't show up when you had the accident. It's so unloyal."
Although Li Xiaoyao was afraid of this yellow dog, he still had no intention of letting it go and couldn't help joking.
Ye Yinfeng didn't notice these details at all. He escaped death again. When he saw the yellow dog, his heart suddenly warmed up. He didn't care why the yellow dog wasn't by his side when he met the assassin. In the past, he didn't care.
Whenever he encounters any danger, the yellow dog will stay by his side. But this time is an exception. Perhaps the yellow dog feels that this danger is different from the past, so he avoids this danger. Fortunately, he avoided it.
Otherwise, the only dog that accompanies him may also die in the hands of the assassin.
"Fat Taoist priest, do you have to be so cautious? Didn't you just steal a piece of chicken leg in your hand? If it encountered it this time, the assassin would definitely die. Fortunately, he avoided it early this time."
Ye Yinfeng was immersed in the joy of meeting Huang Gou. He could not understand the true meaning of the fat Taoist priest's words. He always thought that Li Xiaoyao was prejudiced against Huang Gou and would say such words.
But the little fat man Li Congjia seemed to hear something, and looked at Ye Yin who was in joy with a confused look. Then he looked at his uncle, he didn't understand the real meaning of Li Xiaoyao's words.
.He wanted to ask, but the fat Taoist priest stared back at him with a vicious look, and he swallowed the words as soon as they reached his lips.
Of course, Li Xiaoyao would not say anything to disturb the joy of the dog's reunion. He helplessly filled himself up with a cup of fine Longjing tea. He took a sip, but found that the tea was already cold and could no longer be used.
There was no scent of tea, but he still drank it in one breath. There was a piece of tea left in his mouth, and he chewed it politely. He felt that only in this way could he stop the rising breath.
A sour, bitter odor.
The Chen Mansion has been noisy today, with guests making noises, rituals, gongs and drums, and the Taoist priest chanting sutras in high and low pitches.
Chen Shounian was very busy today. In addition to receiving the guests who came to pay their respects, he also had to preside over the old lady's funeral. Originally, some things could be handled by the butler, but this time it was different. After all, the deceased was the most important person. Even if he himself
No matter how busy you are, you should do it, otherwise if others make unfilial remarks, your reputation will be ruined for the rest of your life.
No, he just had a little free time, but he was told by his subordinates that Mr. Cui, the governor of Dehua City, wanted to see him. Although he usually didn't pay attention to the governor of Dehua City, this time according to his servants
He was said to be wearing official clothes. Since he was wearing official clothes, it was business, so he couldn't help but drag his tired body to the living room where he was meeting guests.
When he came to the living room, he saw Mr. Cui, dressed in official uniform, walking around in the living room like an ant on a hot pot. He did not bring the Yamen servants or police officers, but was wearing the official uniform alone.
Come here. Seeing this situation, Chen Shounian couldn't help but wonder what the reason was for Mr. Cui coming here wearing official uniform. Could it be that meeting the king yesterday frightened him out of his wits or something else? Could there be something else?
"Mr. Chen, you are finally here."
When Mr. Cui saw Chen Shounian's arrival, he immediately stepped forward to greet him.
"I have met Mr. Cui, but I don't know why he came to this humble residence." Chen Shounian still had the etiquette he should have, and he quickly bowed and bowed his hands to Mr. Cui.
"Ah, Mr. Chen, you're welcome. I really have something important to do here. I wonder if Mr. Chen has time."
"Oh, just tell me what you have to say." Since Mr. Cui met Prince Anding in this house yesterday, his attitude towards him has changed. Although Chen Shounian doesn't like Cui Fuyin, he reaches out and doesn't smile.
People, not to mention that the other party also looked pitiful.
"It's nothing. I just came here to ask if the nobleman from the imperial city in your mansion is okay and if he has been hurt in any way."
Mr. Cui looked at Chen Shounian eagerly, but also nervously. You could clearly see the sweat on his forehead running down his cheeks.
"Master Cui, I don't know what happened. The noble man is doing well in my house and nothing unexpected happened. I don't know what Master Cui means. Could it be that there is a murderous case in Dehua City?"
Chen Shounian didn't know what happened in the past two days, let alone that Li Ermazi was scared to death by Ye Yinfeng last night.
"It's okay. There has indeed been a murder in Dehua City in the past two days. This morning someone found the body of a masked man in black, and at noon someone found the body of Li Ermazi near Tingyu Tower.
.It’s not peaceful recently. I also consider the safety of the nobleman from the imperial city, so I came here to report. Only when I know that the nobleman is not harmed can I feel at ease. Otherwise, the black gauze hat and the head on my head will be damaged.
No guarantee."
Mr. Cui's heart felt as if a big stone had been put down, and the dense beads of sweat seemed to have diminished a little.
Only then did Chen Shounian know that a murder had occurred in Dehua City, and his heart became tight again. He could only pray that the murder had nothing to do with Prince Anding. If something happened to Prince Anding, it would not be his fault, he would always
The entire family will also be affected.
Lord Yin Cui of Dehua Mansion breathed a sigh of relief and left Chen Mansion with a happy mood.
But Chen Shounian's heart felt anxious again. He felt that this was a bad sign.
Li Ermazi's death was not a big deal to him. At most, he was just a hero who was doing harm to the people. But the appearance of the masked man in black and his death made him feel a pang in his heart.
Lin, except for people with status as Prince Anding, he couldn't think of anyone who would be assassinated in Dehua City.
But this man in black and masked clothes thought he would be killed by others, which was something he couldn't understand. Perhaps it was the old man next to Prince Anding. He felt that the old man must be a martial artist, and his cultivation level was definitely not high enough.
Low. What he is careful about is the person behind the masked man in black. If he is sent by other countries to assassinate him, it will be easy to deal with. If this is an open and secret fight between the princes, then he will be in trouble. He is not helping anyone, and
We can't let the king of the county have trouble on his own territory.
"Sigh." He sighed. He didn't ask Mr. Cui about the case. He just wanted to understand some things by himself. It seems that Mr. Cui has become smarter after yesterday's incident. He knows what to ask and what to say.
It should be said that he also knew how to keep himself out of the matter. Perhaps he should have noticed that he had some unknown relationship with the people in the palace, but he felt that he had not interfered.
