"Hey, hey, what do you mean? Didn't you say you would protect me?" Yan Li couldn't help but shout.
Li Yixiu sympathized with him. "Brother Yan, the world is cruel. Even I have to compromise sometimes. But don't worry, Brother Wang and I have been friends for many years. He said he would let you live, so he won't hurt you. At most, you will suffer a little. "
Yan Li sneered in disdain. "A little? You two are in cahoots. One is the good cop, and the other is the bad cop. You just want to destroy my fighting spirit and push me, your rival in love, into the abyss. "
Li Yixiu sighed hypocritically, "Sigh, Brother Yan's misunderstanding of me is quite deep. It seems that time can only prove it."
"Take him away!" Wang Yuanlang waved his hand.
"Wait," Yan Li suddenly shouted.
"What? You want to beg for mercy?" Wang Yuanlang sneered. "Don't you think it's too late?"
"I want to give you a chance to beg for mercy," Yan Li said calmly.
Wang Yuanlang couldn't help but laugh. "Give me a chance? How dare you talk big in a situation like this! " However, his laughter stopped abruptly. His neck was covered by a cold edge. Glancing out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the subordinate who was originally standing behind him had changed into a stranger's face. The cold edge came from the crescent moon blade in his hand.
"Who are you?" he asked in a deep voice.
The surrounding guards were all stunned. This person had mixed in with them, but they didn't notice at all.
"Yanshan Robber, Soul Reaper Huang Chao." The man's voice was very hoarse. He stared at Li Yixiu. "If you do anything suspicious, I will kill him immediately!"
"Let go of the general!" Finally, a guard came back to his senses and shouted angrily.
Wang Yuanlang secretly sensed for a while and found that his energy explosion was not as fast as the man's throat cutting. So, he gave up resisting. "Don't do anything stupid. Brother Li, you too … "
Li Yixiu said, "The three junior commanders of the Swordsman Camp are all here. Looks like 'He Xin with a Smile' is no exception."
"To be remembered by a genius swordsman like Young Master Li, I don't know if I should feel honored or afraid."
At this moment, a series of footsteps came from downstairs. The entrance to the corridor that was supposed to be occupied by the guards was replaced by a black-clothed swordsman who had appeared out of nowhere. A smiling middle-aged man walked out of the formation. He stroked his mustache and slowly walked into the room.
He bowed to Yan Li without exception. He was the manager of the North-South Inn.
"Shopkeeper, you've really tricked us." Li Yixiu's eyes flashed.
"I'm just following orders," said He Xin with a smile.
Li Yixiu did not understand and said, "I heard that you were originally the president of the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce, your status is so illustrious, how did you become a bandit with them?"
"The past doesn't matter." He Xin only smiled.
Shen Liuyun untied Yan Li, but he was looking at Yanshan Robber's formation. From the moment the Swordsman Camp came in, to dismantling the guards' weapons, to locking them in another room, everything was done in an orderly manner. No one made a sound. Even well-trained soldiers couldn't do this. They were just Jianghu people, so how much effort did they put into this?
"I want to know, is this Brother Yan's doing or …?" Li Yixiu's face was dark.
"Don't worry, your intelligence is still on the same level." Yan Li rubbed his wrist and said with a smile, "At least, you are much better than some idiot who thought he was going to win. But to be honest, before you came to search, I didn't even know about your existence. "
"Then …"
"Young Master Li, please don't laugh at us." At this moment, an extremely fragrant breeze came from downstairs. It was like the honeydew of hundreds of fragrant flowers, invigorating one's spirit and making one feel as if there was an inexhaustible amount of energy in one's body. When the owner of the fragrance appeared from the staircase, it made one's eyes light up.
Her shiny black hair was combed into a flowing bun, and the tassels on the jade hairpin were swaying gently. She wore a bright silver water silk robe and a long white dress that bared her arms. Her eyebrows were thin and long, and her phoenix eyes seemed to contain the misty rain, the cold lake, and the elegance of poetry. Her face was as beautiful as the morning glow, and her frown and smile were full of charm.
"Madam Xiang?" Li Yixiu asked uncertainly.
"Yes, I am." It was Li Xiang Jun.
She walked to Yan Li with light steps. She bowed to him and looked at his body carefully. Then, she suppressed her joy and said in a low voice, "I have been worried about you."
Shen Liuyun had a strange look in his eyes. She could tell at a glance that Li Xiang Jun was born to be a beauty in bed. She had learned from history that women like her were hard to control.
Yan Li nodded to Li Xiang Jun and said, "He Xin, send a notice to the Wushen Mansion immediately. Tell them that Wang Yuanlang is in our hands. If you want him to live, ask Wang Ba to come and pick him up. If he doesn't come within three days, we will chop him and feed him to the dogs!"
"Yes, sir!" He Xin left with a smile.
"You …" Wang Yuanlang wanted to say something, but Huang Chao locked him up with an iron chain. Several swordsmen in black came up and took him away without saying anything. They went downstairs without saying anything. Obviously, they were going to be detained somewhere else.
Li Yixiu said with annoyance, "Maybe I understand. The ambush was set by Madam. When Brother Yan was in trouble, Madam had been paying attention to the situation in the court. I believe Brother Wang and I came to Bingzhou, and Brother Yan's whereabouts were all under Madam's control. "
Yan Li smiled cunningly. "Yes, so you were defeated by a woman. Don't be upset."
Li Yixiu was so angry that he saw stars. "I am even more upset. Brother Yan, you did it on purpose, didn't you?"
Yan Li imitated him and sighed hypocritically. "Alas, Brother Li has a deep misunderstanding about me. It seems that time will prove it."
After a pause, he added, "By the way, don't resist. Otherwise, that idiot will die. When Wang Ba chases him here, I'll say that you're responsible for not saving him. Let's see if he'll forgive you." He waved his hand.
Several swordsmen in black came up and locked Li Yixiu up as well. They took him away with them.
The iron chain brought by Wang Yuanlang was made of Black Source Pure Gold. Even a Perfected Person couldn't get rid of it. He had borrowed it from the Judicial Department, but Yan Li took advantage of it.
After moving to an intact room, Li Xiang Jun and the others looked at Shen Liuyun hesitantly.
"It's alright. We're on the same side." Yan Li sat down on the bed and panted slightly. Just a few simple moves had exceeded the limits of his body.
"Your subordinates greet Dragon Head!" The commanders knelt down on one knee.
"Dragon Head?" Shen Liuyun was stunned. She had never thought about it. She had always thought that Yan Longtu was a real person.
"May I ask Dragon Head, who is this lady?" Li Xiang Jun asked with a faint smile.
"I am his aunt." Without waiting for Yan Li to speak, Shen Liuyun spoke first. "We have been separated for many years. Thank you for taking care of him."
"No, we don't dare …" The commanders looked at each other in bewilderment.
Li Xiang Jun blushed. She was at a loss as she mumbled, "So, so it's Aunt …"
Shen Liuyun said, "You can't call me that."
Li Xiang Jun was stunned and didn't know how to respond.
Shen Liuyun said again, "I rarely hear the name Madam Xiang. I wonder what you did for a living before you joined the Yanshan Robber?"
"Why do you ask?" Yan Li frowned.
Li Xiang Jun lowered her head, paused, and bravely said, "I, I used to be a top courtesan, but I sold my skills, not my body."
"Oh …" Shen Liuyun's eyes flashed. "Top courtesan, no wonder you look so beautiful."
Li Xiang Jun didn't understand her attitude and didn't know how to respond.
Shen Liuyun said again, "But not even a top courtesan. You have to know that although Xiao Fan's family is in decline, he is still the son of a general. In the future, he will marry a lady from a famous family. "
When Li Xiang Jun heard this, she felt inferior and uncomfortable. She lowered her head, gritted her teeth, and didn't say a word.
Yan Li pulled on Shen Liuyun's sleeves. "Since the emergence of cultivators, the prejudice of family status has been light. Why is it that when it comes to you, it's with great fanfare?"
Shen Liuyun's eyes were stern. "You are the child of my sworn brother. The Bai family is full of heroes, passed down from generation to generation. You can't marry a woman from a brothel and sully the ancestral shrine!"
Yan Li's face darkened. "The three of you leave first."
The three junior commanders hurriedly ran out as if they were granted amnesty.
Yan Li stood up and hugged Li Xiang Jun who was about to cry. He said coldly, "Sir, Xiang Jun is my woman. I won't allow anyone to tell her what to do!"
Shen Liuyun's face was as cold as frost. He said sternly, "If I say no, then no. If you dare to humiliate the Bai family, believe it or not, I will break your legs!"
"She is a pure and untainted girl. How could she bring shame to the Bai family?" Yan Li said loudly.
"You two, stop arguing …" Li Xiang Jun suddenly broke free from Yan Li. Her eyes were red. "It's all my fault. It's all my fault. I only ask, I only ask to stay in Yanshan Robber. I won't ask for anything else …" After saying that, she ran out while wiping her tears.
"Are you satisfied now?" Yan Li said while suppressing his anger.
Shen Liuyun said coldly, "I'm doing this for your own good. Do you think you can control her? I've seen many women who fawn on the rich and powerful. If you are powerful, she will naturally not leave you. Once you are nothing, she will throw herself into the arms of another strong person. "
Yan Li suddenly became silent, as if he had nothing to say.
Shen Liuyun slowed down his voice and said, "If you want to get married, aunt will help you find a family. At least, you need to find a family that is equal to the Bai family."
Yan Li said, "The Bai family has been gone for a long time!"
Shen Liuyun frowned and said, "No matter what, the blood of my sworn brother flows in your body."
Yan Li shook his head and said in a self-deprecating way, "Have you ever had that kind of experience? You are so hungry that you want to eat the bark, but no matter how hard you try, you can't chew it. You can only swallow it. Sometimes, if you swallow too much, your stomach will hurt for a whole day. It will torture your nerves. Occasionally, you will dig out a worm from the soil. That is the greatest happiness. What is family? Can it be eaten? "
Shen Liuyun frowned deeply. "If you can't guarantee her loyalty, don't provoke her."
Yan Li said, "I can't guarantee her loyalty. Why do you want her to guarantee it?"
Shen Liuyun was stunned and said, "Isn't, isn't this a matter of course?"
"I brought her out of the brothel. I don't know if it's good or bad for her, but she has already deviated from her original fate. She deviated from her original fate because of me, so I must bear her fate. From the beginning, I did not deprive her of the right to choose. So, no matter what choice she makes in the future, you can think of it as my will. "
Yan Li closed his eyes tiredly. "This matter ends here. I'm tired."
