“Gongzi.” Li Xin called as he entered the room.
“Ah, Li Xin, you’re back.” Qing Yu smiled.
“Who was that just now?” Li Xin pointed to Xiao Gao.
“A young man ——,” Qing Yu said with a playful laugh.
“A young man ——”
Li Xin looked speechlessly at Qing Yu’s slightly childish and tender face, why did this sound so awkward.
Little Gao was too young after all, or rather, he was too confident in himself.
Qing Yu gave a wink and Li Xin understood what he meant and watched from the shadows outside.
Little Gao was confident in his own innate realm skills and came and went without checking around. Li Xin was watching him leave.
Compared to Qing Yu, an old greaser who was fifteen on the outside and almost fifty mentally, Xiao Gao was still too young.
”This Little Gao, a bit interesting ——” Qing Yu thought secretly.
Originally, I thought Xiao Gao was a dead soldier kept by Xuan Guang. Now it seems that the dead soldiers are like this, how blind Xuan Guang’s eyes are.
”It seems that this is also someone who has come from somewhere. Still, the Innate Realm, it’s something I can’t afford to mess with at the moment. Forget about it ——”
Although he was interested in where Xiao Gao came from, but the most important thing for Qing Yu at the moment was to get out of this quagmire. Everything would wait until they survived.
“Li Xin. The night is long, let’s start planning straight away.”
Li Xin responded, “Yes.”
Then out the door, this time for real.
That night.
It was a dark and windy night, just right for killing and setting fire to.
The Third Elder sneaked up to a private house, knocking on the door as he called out softly, “Gang master, gang master ——”
“Come in, the door is unlocked.” Li Xin’s voice came from inside the house.
The Third Elder pushed open the door, entered the house and then quietly closed the door again and bowed to Li Xin who was sitting inside the house, “Greetings, Gang Master.”
Li Xin looked at the Third Elder and said, “What are you doing here at this late hour?”
But the Third Elder said, “Master, is that gentleman not here?”
Everyone in the Iron Daggers knew that the gang master was extremely close to what was thought to be a mysterious man, and that the Li family had been fought with the help of the mysterious man.
“Third Elder!” Li Xin said in a stern voice.
The Third Elder straightened his back and looked straight into Li Xin’s eyes and said, “Please tell me, Gang Master, where is that gentleman?”
Ever since he had been forced to take the Three Corpses Brain God Pill, the Third Elder had been drained of his backbone and could no longer stand up straight in front of Li Xin.
In just under a month, the Third Elder was feeling like it had been longer than ten years. Now that he could straighten up again and speak to Li Xin, the Third Elder felt that his lost backbone had returned.
The stern look in Li Xin’s eyes was slightly restrained, and he suddenly smiled playfully and said, “You have found a new backer, haven’t you, and you dare to be so arrogant in front of me, tell him to come out and meet me.”
The Third Elder felt his spine being jerked again, and Li Xin’s figure in front of him once again turned into an insurmountable mountain, which made him unable to stand up straight.
Third Elder: “Li Xin, you —–”
“Stupid, he knew about your betrayal a long time ago.”
The door to the room was pushed open by an invisible qi, and Luo Yan walked into the room with his hands behind his back and his head held high.
“The door was not even locked, so it seems you knew the fool would come, didn’t you, Master Li.” Questionable words, but with unmistakable certainty.
Li Xin laughed, “It seems that this Lord Luo is your new found backer, no wonder how you have the courage to do so. However, if you betray me, what should you do when the Three Corpse Brain God Pill strikes at Duanwu next year?”
The Third Elder’s face turned as pale as a corpse as he shivered at the thought of what would happen if the Three Corpse Brain God Pill attacked.
Luo Yan was ignored by Li Xin, but he was not angry either, and answered, “Compared to dying again next year, living is worse than dying now is even more fearful. After all, a good death is better than a bad one. If you can live another year, you’ve earned it, haven’t you?
Besides, if there is a poison, there is an antidote. Li Xin, hand over the antidote.”
The Third Elder followed suit with a stern voice, “Yes, Li Xin, hand over the antidote.”
Li Xin’s smile did not change as he said, “I think what Lord Luo wants is the antidote for Zhang Qingfeng’s poison. However, you should also know that the poison was administered by my friend. You are looking for me, but you are looking for the wrong person.”
The Third Elder’s face turned even whiter as he looked at Luo Yan pleadingly.
Luo Yan said indifferently, “If I capture you, I won’t worry about finding him. Besides, I am also interested in your Three Corpses Brain God Pill.”
As he said that, Luo Yan explored his palm, his qi gathering on his palm as he looked about to strike.
Seeing this, Li Xin hurriedly said, “Slow down, slow down, I can have a message to make Lord Luo spare me once.”
“Oh…” Luo Yan restrained his palm strength slightly and said, “Tell me.”
“It’s about the Song family, the Lord of Yang City’s residence. The Song family is closer to the Zhenshan Army than you think, and should be die-hard loyalists of the Zhenshan Army.”
Xuan Guang had only been sent to this side of Yang City three years ago, so Song Ziqi should have been involved with Xuan Guang because of his connections on the Zhenshan Army side. Anyway, right or wrong, it wasn’t like the black pot needed a capital.
Luo Yan began to look squarely at the leader of this small third-rate gang and said, “It seems that you know quite a lot.”
Li Xin said, “Li Ping-sheng was planted in my hands, I know everything he knows.”
“It’s not enough, I still need Zhang Qingfeng’s antidote.”
Li Xin took out a bottle and threw it to Luo Yan, saying sincerely, “Earlier it was just a joke. We had no choice but to a*sa*sinate the Zhang family head. We are, after all, the people of the Great Qian, and there are certain things that we must not cross the line for.”
Luo Yan’s cold face finally eased as he weighed the vial of medicine in his hand and simply put it away. He was confident that Li Xin would not dare to lie to him.
“Very well.” With a simple sentence, Luo Yan turned his head and left.
The Third Elder was listening in the clouds, but he could still understand that he had been given up by Luo Yan as a return gift for the goodwill released by Li Xin.
Thinking back to Li Quyan’s death, the Third Elder crawled and rolled, hugging Li Xin’s thigh and crying and howling, “Master, Master, I know I was wrong, please let me go, please —— beg you to spare my dog’s life, I had no choice ——”
“What an ugly sight.” Qing Yu walked out, who had been hidden away.
Of course, this could not be hidden from Luo Yan, and this was the reason why Luo Yan was confident that he had caught Qing Yu. At such a close distance, Qing Yu’s scent, to Luo Yan Lao, was as striking as a firefly in the dark night.
Li Xin shook off the Third Elder and silently retreated behind Qing Yu.
The third elder finally realized that the person in front of him was the one who could save his life,.
When Qing Yu saw the old tearful appearance of the Third Elder, who was still in such a mess at his age, he looked puzzled and wondered if he was moved by compa*sion.
“It’s really hard to see.” Qing Yu said again.
The Third Elder smiled and hurriedly pulled up his sleeve to wipe away the tears and snot left behind, desperate for survival.
A cold light flashed, and the Third Elder, who had just wiped his face clean, slowly fell softly to the ground, pressing his bleeding throat.
Qing Yu slowly wiped his Xuan Iron dagger and silently looked into the Third Elder’s unwilling eyes.
“I don’t know if I will reveal an ugly face like yours when I face death. Therefore, I must not let myself fall to such a state ——“
