“Eldest Young Master, the Third Elder of the Iron Blade Society requests an audience!”
Li Qiusheng put down the dossier in his hand and rubbed his brow. In these few days, it could be said that the people of the Li family’s side branches had suffered heavy casualties, among them, there was the credit of Qing Yu, the secret drive of Li Xin, and there were even individuals who were spontaneously and secretly killed by the rest of the chiefs.
The Li family’s control over the Iron Daggers was already greatly reduced. Li Xin has proposed several times to attack the Qingshan Clan to avenge the death of the vice master and two elders, but Li Qiusheng has suppressed them all.
The Third Elder has also repeatedly asked for an audience to state the will of the people in the gang.
This time, it was the same old story, the ma*ses in the gang were so agitated that they only wanted to fight. This old man, he couldn’t really have been bribed by Li Xin, could he? Li Qiusheng thought darkly.
Sighing wearily, Li Qiusheng said, “Let him in.”
Li Xin’s power in the Iron Sword Society was expanding, and he still needed to pull in the three remaining elders to counterbalance him. As long as, wait until his father comes out of the gate —— Li Qiusheng’s eyes flashed cold light, as soon as his father closed his gate, Li Xin, the B*****d son, showed his fangs, hehe, I really don’t know whether it is better to say he has eyesight or stupidity ——
The third elder was outside and received permission to receive him. He straightened his clothes and told his two attendants to wait outside while he went to see Li Qiusheng alone.
A trace of ridicule flashed in the eyes of the subordinate who delivered the message. This Third Elder, ever since the a*sa*sination of Li Dian, was so afraid that he had to have an entourage to protect him everywhere he went, and it was said that even when he was in the same room as his wife at night, someone had to be at the door. If not for the Li family’s strict security, I’m afraid that even to see the youngest master, I would have to bring these two bodyguards with me.
“Ah —— you ——” A miserable scream came from inside the house.
Immediately after that, there was a shout from the third elder, “Someone, there are a*sa*sins ——”
The incident was so sudden that the two underlings guarding outside the house, reflexively, turned around and rushed into the house.
Just as they turned around, the two attendants brought by the Third Elder rose up and attacked.
One of them, a young man with a waxy yellow face, struck his sword through the back of the neck of the servant in front of him, while the other one also struck hard, breaking the spine of the other servant with a palm strike, and then stepping forward to break his throat.
The two men smiled at each other and entered the house.
Inside the house, when the Third Elder saw the two men enter, he hurriedly bowed and saluted, “Greetings to the Gang Master.”
The first thing Li Xin did when he entered the house was to look at Li Qiusheng.
The young master of the Li family was sitting upside down on the tai shi chair, bleeding from the corner of his mouth and pressing one hand to his chest. Although he was trying his best to maintain his image in front of Li Xin, the illegitimate son he used to despise, he could not hide the ashes and wretchedness on his face.
His eyes were fixed on the Third Elder. He had never expected that this formerly obsequious and cowardly man would harbour a hidden agenda, and when he bent down to salute, he struck Li Qiusheng with two palms, seriously injuring him directly in the chest.
The Third Elder bowed his head, not daring to face Li Qiusheng’s gaze. Since the three Li Dian’s funeral had been held with such fanfare that everyone in Yangcheng knew about it, and the series of accidents that followed, the Li family had not bothered to cover up the deaths of Madam Li and Li Qiu Yan, or rather, they could no longer care.
The Third Elder once went to see Li Quyin’s corpse in secret. His eyes protruded and his face looked like a malignant ghost, and his death was so miserable that the Third Elder shuddered whenever he remembered it. Although the Third Elder was afraid that Li Ping-Sheng would come after him and settle his score, he had already gotten into Li Xin’s boat and could not get out.
He was afraid of Li Ping-sheng, but he was even more afraid of the Three Corpses Brain God Pill.
When Li Xin saw that Li Qiusheng was not paying attention to him, he did not care and turned his head to instruct the Third Elder, “Go summon the brothers outside the mansion and take control of the Li mansion.”
The Third Elder stole a glance at the waxen-faced attendant, seeing that Li Xin did not order his attendant but ordered himself, the Third Elder, to do the errands, he was slightly dissatisfied, but thinking of the Three Corpse Brain God Pill, he could not help but shiver and did not dare to disobey Li Xin’s order and went down to do his work.
Li Xin looked at Li Qiusheng and sneered, “It seems that neither your status nor your pride and joy of wisdom can save you, Eldest Young Master.”
Li Qiusheng was finally unable to ignore Li Xin, but he still could not hide his arrogance and looked at him scornfully, “Scumbag, you can be pleased with yourself while you can, you have no idea what true power is. When my father comes out of the gate, I will kill you with a thousand cuts.”
“It seems that Li Pingxiang is really going to break through the Innate Heaven in seclusion.” The waxen-faced youth suddenly spoke out.
When Li Xin saw him speak out, he took a step back. Earlier, in front of the Third Elder, Li Xin had to conceal the identity of the wax-yellow-faced youth by standing in the middle of the hall with himself as the centre, but now that the Third Elder was not there, there was naturally no need to conceal it anymore.
Yes, the waxen-faced youth was none other than Qing Yu.
Seeing this, Li Qiu Sheng could not help but laugh loudly, even when his laughter touched his injuries due to the trauma to his chest and lungs, and his mouth was full of blood and foam, he did not stop.
“Li Xin ah Li Xin, I thought where did you get the guts to be a dog, it turns out that you are still being someone else’s dog,” Li Qiu Sheng was full of contempt, “the dog can not change to eat Sh*t, away from my Li family, you Li Xin is still a dog, a dog for life.”
“You ——” Li Xin has been exercised over the years to be considered spoiled, but in the face of these enemies of the Li family, he still does not hair to achieve calm to face.
“Eh (third sound) ——” Qing Yu raised his hand to stop Li Xin, “It’s just the wail of a defeated dog, the harder he curses, the more fearful he will be in his heart. Don’t worry, the people of the Li family must not be well.”
Li Xin stopped his anger and stared coldly at Li Qiusheng.
Qing Yu stopped Li Xin and looked at Li Qiusheng with a smile, “No matter what Li Ping Sheng will do to us, you are in our hands now. Tell me what kind of meals you send to Li Ping Sheng on a regular basis, and whether there is any secret code or whether you send it to a specific person specifically. If you don’t tell me, I’m sure Li Qiusheng would be happy to treat you well.”
Li Qiusheng smiled and burst into another mocking laugh, “You still want to poison my father’s meals? Haha —— All the food for my father’s retreat has long been prepared at the retreat and does not need to be delivered at all. You guys just honestly wait for death!”
The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you’re doing. And that B*tch of a servant girl of your mother’s, I will bury her to the ground.”
Li Xin’s mother was his scales, and Li Xin could no longer restrain his anger, so he immediately struck Li Qiusheng.
Qing Yu stopped Li Xin again and said, “The worst has happened, Li Ping Sheng has brought his own dry food.”
He reached out and pulled out a red porcelain bottle from his pocket and threw it to Li Xin.
“This is ——” Li Xin recognized the same porcelain vial as the one he had given himself to take to control the three elders and said, “Your Excellency wants to control Li Qiusheng? Let him sneak up on Li Ping Sheng?”
Qing Yu shook his head and said, “I would not underestimate the determination of the young master of the Li family. Kinship is originally the most precious and strongest bond in the world. Few people can ignore kinship. You were able to endure the humiliation of staying in the Li family for years for your mother. Li Qiusheng could also die for his father, rather than give in. Controlling him and allowing him to sneak up on Li Ping-sheng is likely to backfire.”
Qing Yu was still smiling, but in Li Qiusheng’s eyes, behind that smile, there was endless viciousness and malice hidden.
“I will use him and give Li Ping Sheng a surprise ——“
