"Young Master, there's movement at the Right Martial Manor!"
At midnight, Li Zexuan had already let Han Yuxi sleep while he was reading in the study room. Outside the room, Pang Fei Ji's low and hurried voice sounded.
"Come in!"
Li Zexuan's eyes flashed and immediately said.
"Creak." Pang Feiji walked in quietly.
"The Cui Family sent experts to the Martial Manor?"
Li Zexuan hurriedly asked.
Pang Fei Ji cupped his fists and replied: "Marquis's prediction is godly. Just three minutes ago, an expert infiltrated the Martial Manor and was discovered by the Martial Manor on duty! However, that person's martial arts were exceptionally high. Even though General Yuchi had placed three hundred archers in ambush in the Wu Hou government, they were unable to harm him in the slightest. Thus, the two Dugu Generals who were guarding outside hurriedly joined the battle. Only then was the situation reversed! "
It must be said that he used to mingle in the Right Martial Manor. If not, for him to wander around the streets in the middle of the night, it would be strange if he wasn't captured by the patrolling Martial Manor!
"How was the battle situation? Did you manage to capture the assassin? "
Li Zexuan expressionlessly asked.
"Marquis! After the assassin who had infiltrated the Wu Hou government was surrounded, everyone then realised that there was another assassin outside who was secretly providing support, but the assassin's movement technique was too brilliant, General Dugu was unable to catch up, and let him escape! Although the remaining one's martial arts were not bad, he was not General Dugu's opponent. After he was defeated by General Dugu, everyone thought that he would surrender. But who would have thought that he would directly crash into General Dugu's sword and commit suicide! "
"Committed suicide?"
Li Zexuan frowned and secretly cursed his bad luck.
He had painstakingly set up a trap. In the end, one escaped and the one left behind was a corpse. This was really fate making fools of people!
"Peng peng!"
Suddenly at this time, there was a series of knocks on the door. In the middle of the night, it would definitely not be someone from the Li Manor knocking on the door. It could only be someone from outside the manor!
Li Zexuan gave Pang Fei Ji a look. Pang Fei Ji approached the door and carefully opened a crack. When he saw the person outside, he immediately opened the door completely.
"It's Ah Xin?"
Seeing that it was Dugu Xin, Li Zexuan stood up in shock.
"Little Xuan, you should know about tonight's matter right?"
Dugu Xin nodded and walked forward.
"En, I know! Fei Ji has already told me about it! Ah Xin, sit down and rest first! "
Li Zexuan smiled.
Dugu Xin said said said: "Little Xuan, I'm sorry! We Xuan's Xuan did not want Xuan Xuan's alive? Even if we suspect that the Cui Family sent them, we have no proof! "
Li Zexuan wanted to deal with a thousand-year-old family like the Cui Family. The Dugu Family had no objections. One of them represented the nobles of Shandong, while the other represented the old aristocratic families. Moreover, since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Dugu Family's glory had always been closely related to the emperor of that time! It could be said that they were the unwavering "royalists"!
In addition, Dugu Xin and Dugu Feiying had always been on good terms with Li Zexuan. When they heard that Li Zexuan wanted them to help, they agreed without hesitation!
"It's fine, it's fine! No one expected that the assassin would suddenly commit suicide. It's not your fault! Moreover, it doesn't matter if we can capture them alive. As long as Wan Jingang is still alive, it's fine! "
Li Zexuan smiled and comforted them.
Although he said that to comfort them, it was actually the truth. Even if there were no assassins tonight, he would still make a move against the Cui Family!
"But I think I know a little about the identities of these two assassins!"
Dugu Xin shook his head and said hesitantly.
"Oh? Just where did they come from? "
Li Zexuan was also very curious about what kind of assassins they were. They could actually beat Dugu Xin in terms of movement techniques.
Dugu Xin frowned and said, "The leader should be Chi Li. He has three brothers, Chi Li, Meilian, Wangliang, and Suan Ni. Because more than ten years ago, the four of them killed and robbed people in the Taibai Mountain area and took over the mountain as kings, they were called the Taibai Four Ghosts! But after the world was peaceful, no one knew where they went! "
"Chi Li, Meilian, Wangliang, and Suan Ni! Together, they became Chi Mei, Wangliang, and Suan Ni. Calling them the Taibai Four Ghosts is just right! "
After Li Zexuan heard this, he muttered to himself. Then he asked, "Ah Xin, how do you know that they are the Taibai Four Ghosts?"
Dugu Xin recalled, "The leader of the assassins, his movement technique was like a shadow. He could always determine the most suitable place to land in the shortest time. At that time, there were thousands of Martial Marquis around. Not only did they not obstruct him, they became a barrier to help him escape! This movement technique is very similar to the Five Elements Ghost Steps that I heard from my second uncle! And this Five Elements Ghost Steps is the unique movement technique of the Taibai Four Ghosts, Chi Li! "
Li Zexuan blinked and said in amazement, "There is such a magical movement technique in this world? After we destroy the Cui Family, we must capture this Chi Li and interrogate him! "
Dugu Xin was speechless. What did he mean by "after we destroy the Cui Family"? He spoke as if he was drinking soup! Was the Cui Family something that could be destroyed so easily?
Although he believed that Li Zexuan would not be at a disadvantage against the Cui Family, he would never believe that Li Zexuan could destroy the Cui Family!
… … … …
"Grandfather! Grandfather! Something bad has happened! "
The Cui Family.
It was already midnight. At this time, everyone in the Cui Family was asleep. However, an old man rushed to the East Courtyard and shouted as he approached the room.
There was a rustling sound of clothes being put on in the room. Then, the lights were turned on.
"Come in and talk!"
Then, Cui Junchuo's voice came from the room.
The old housekeeper quickly went in and bowed to Cui Junchuo, "Grandfather, Chi Li and Mei Lian failed in their mission. There were many soldiers in the Right Marquis Mansion in advance, and the two juniors of the Dugu Family were also there!"
Cui Junchuo's expression changed. He coughed twice and said in a trembling voice, "Were Chi Li and Mei Lian caught?"
The old housekeeper said bitterly, "Grandfather, Chi Li's movement technique is outstanding. Dugu Xin could not catch up with him, so he escaped! But Mei Lian did not escape and her whereabouts are unknown! "
"Whereabouts are unknown?"
Cui Junchuo's usually expressionless face finally showed some panic, "It's over! If Mei Lian falls into the hands of the imperial court, the Cui Family will be doomed! We have to make other plans. Otherwise, we won't even be able to leave Chang 'an City in two days! "
The old housekeeper opened his mouth and wanted to say something to comfort him, but he realized that he could not do anything in the end.
"Continue to pay attention to Mei Lian's whereabouts. If there is any news, inform me immediately! Also, where is Chi Li? Ask him to come and see me! "
Cui Junchuo said after a long time.
But his voice seemed to have aged a lot!
