So embarrassing!! Yesterday, I was told that my internet connection had been cut off, but today, it's still there …
"No! Absolutely not! " Li Youran was still smiling calmly at this moment. "I would rather the entire Li Residence be burned to the ground than to act rashly!"
His smile was strangely gentle, cold and ruthless. "As long as the people are still here, the Li Family will still exist. But if the few of you go out, regardless of what happens to the men in black outside, there is one thing that I am certain of. Countless eyes will immediately focus on this place! Once your identities are exposed, or even if it's not exposed, as long as you show yourselves, then the Li Family will have a hard time moving forward! Moreover, the rumor that Xuan Dan is in the Li Family will immediately spread like wildfire. When that time comes … the matter will be over. "
"Senior Brother, all of you stay in the secret chamber and do not come out! Once the rumor has died down, I will immediately arrange for you to leave the city! If anything happens in the future, I will seek help from Master and Senior Brother. " Li Youran smiled lightly. "This time, not only will I not stop them, I will also send a few more people for them to kill! I want to see how Senior Duke Jun is going to deal with this! "
"This is an unpardonable crime of rebellion. Even if the courtiers can tolerate it, can the Imperial Family?" Li Youran's face revealed a rare sneer.
"Fine. Since that is the case, I will not say anything. Do as you wish. " The man in white revealed a dissatisfied expression and nodded his head helplessly. "Junior Brother, when you have the time, go back and take a look. Master … he is very worried about you."
"Rest assured, Senior Brother. I will." Li Youran smiled faintly and walked out.
At this moment, a Qihua rocket suddenly exploded in mid-air, bursting into colorful fireworks. It was extremely beautiful.
As the fireworks blossomed, all the men in black suddenly retreated. Like a receding tide, they quickly left the battlefield. In the blink of an eye, they jumped over the wall and ran out of the main gate. In a flash, they had already disappeared into the boundless night …
Then, the thunderous sound of horse hooves rang out. Thousands of cavalrymen converged into a torrent. Their formation was neat and tidy, and they rushed over with an extremely murderous air! In the blink of an eye, they had gathered at the entrance of Grand Preceptor Li's residence. A series of commands rang out, and the cavalrymen split into two groups in an orderly manner. In an instant, they had surrounded the Li family's residence so tightly that not even a drop of water could trickle through!
The door was slammed open with a "bang" and Jun Zhan Tian walked in with large strides, his entire body brimming with killing intent!
A sky-blue light flickered around his body. It was obvious that he had already activated his own Tian Xuan Qi. Although the Li Family would not dare to touch him with his status, he still had to take precautions. It was better to be safe than sorry.
On both sides, two groups of elite soldiers split into two rows and entered in a single file, their swords flashing.
"All members of the Li Family, come out for this Duke! An assassin has appeared in the capital! Search the entire city!" Grandpa Jun bellowed, his voice reverberating for miles.
"Ha ha ha, it turns out that Brother Jun has personally come. Your presence brings light to my humble dwelling." Grand Preceptor Li Shang's face was filled with a cordial smile as he walked out from the main hall to welcome Jun Zhan Tian. His steps were quick, as if he was a pair of twins who had been separated for many years during the chaos of war.
Jun Zhan Tian's face was stern as he said. "Grand Preceptor Li, please discipline your family's servants and relatives. Her Royal Highness, Princess Reimu, was assassinated today. This Jun has a duty to apprehend the disobedient assassin. If there are any accidental injuries, I will not be held responsible!" After saying that, he waved his hand. "Search!"
"Wait!" Li Shang's white beard fluttered as he took a step forward. His gentle and cordial expression suddenly changed. His beard and hair fluttered as he said in a loud voice. "Senior Duke Jun, although you are the Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Army and a Duke of the Empire, this Grand Preceptor is also a First Grade Imperial Officer and a Duke of the Empire! Without the Emperor's personal decree, who would dare to act presumptuously in my Li Family's residence?! "
Jun Zhan Tian sneered. There was a faint trace of hysteria in his eyes as he slowly said, "Grand Preceptor, are you implying that a first-grade official in the imperial court has the right to harbor assassins? Search for him! Anyone who obstructs the search will be killed on the spot! "
Suddenly, the hundreds of soldiers behind him swarmed in and rushed into the Li Family's residences to search. Li Shang was so angry that his entire body trembled. He roared. "Jun Zhan Tian, you are acting so unscrupulously and overstepping your authority. Do you really want to rebel?!"
Jun Zhan Tian laughed loudly. "Grand Preceptor's words are truly strange. This Duke's mission is only to search for the assassin who assassinated Her Royal Highness the Princess. How did I overstep my authority? How unscrupulous? How can I rebel?! Grand Preceptor has repeatedly obstructed this Duke's search. Could it be that this has something to do with the assassin?! "Jun Zhan Tian ignored him and waved his hand for the soldiers to hurry up and search.
At that moment, a young man dressed in white stood out with a smile. It was none other than the Eldest Young Master, Li Youran. He respectfully bowed to Jun Zhan Tian and said. "If Senior Duke Jun were to search by imperial decree, the Li Family would naturally not dare to disobey. However, without the Emperor's imperial decree, Senior Duke Jun barged into the residence of a First Grade Imperial Officer and wantonly conducted a search. Hehe, even if Senior Duke Jun is not afraid of crooked shadows, our Li Family still needs to maintain some face. If word of this were to spread, it would not look good on anyone, right?!"
Jun Zhan Tian coldly looked at the refined young man before him. He could not help but think of his own grandson, Mo Xie. His grandson could have been stronger than Li Youran, but ended up suffering from such a treacherous plot! Thinking of this, Lengleng's rage flared up and she asked. "What do you want?"
"This junior would like to ask Senior Duke Jun a very simple question. Senior Duke Jun has repeatedly said that he is searching for the assassin in our residence. However, regardless of where Senior Duke got the information that my Li Family is harbouring the assassin, if we are unable to find the assassin in our Li Family, what will Senior Duke do?" Li Youran smiled warmly and took a step forward. "If that is the case, will Senior Duke Jun give my Li Family an explanation?!"
Grandpa Jun laughed loudly. Suddenly, he took a step forward and fiercely slapped Li Youran's face. A crisp 'pa' sound rang out. Then, he kicked Li Youran's abdomen, causing him to fall to the ground. Then, Jun Zhan Tian angrily shouted. "When this old man is searching for the assassin, even your grandfather Li Shang does not dare to fart in front of this old man. Who do you think you are? You dare to come out here and point your fingers? You want an explanation from this old man? This is an explanation! "
He spat out a mouthful of spittle. "What a joke! If you are unable to find the assassin, then it naturally means that your Li Family is innocent. If you are unable to find the assassin, then you will have to continue searching. What else can you do? I would like to ask your Li Family. Every single one of you, from the old to the young, are desperately trying to stop this old man from capturing the assassin. What is the meaning of this? Could it be that your Li Family wishes to rebel and is the mastermind behind this plot to assassinate the Princess?! If the assassin who tried to assassinate the Princess were to escape while you are trying to stall for time, how many heads does your Li Family have to bear this crime?! "
These words were directed at Li Shang. It was obvious that the Li Youran before him did not even have the qualifications to speak to him as an equal.
Even if two armies were to face off against each other, there was still a need to consider the difference in status. If one did not have the qualifications, then they would only be courting death. It was not that Li Youran did not understand this point. However, seeing her grandfather being humiliated in front of her own eyes, coupled with the fact that there were several people in the secret chamber who could not see the light of day, if they were to be discovered, it would be akin to having mud fall into one's pants. Even if it was not shit, it would still be shit. She could only brace herself and come out, hoping that Jun Zhan Tian would be able to rely on his demeanor as the number one person in the military to block this matter.
Who would have thought that Jun Zhan Tian would not only throw away his demeanor, but also his face. One slap and one kick, both quick and ruthless. Although Li Youran was a genius in martial arts, she was limited by her age. At present, she was only at the initial level of the Gold Xuan realm. The gap between her and Grandpa Jun's Tian Xuan was like that of the Heavens and the Earth. In addition, she was caught off guard and received a solid slap and a kick. She felt as if her head was going to explode and she was seeing stars!
Although Grandpa Jun did not utilize his Xuan Qi, Li Youran's slap under the watchful eyes of nearly a thousand people felt as if it had struck his heart!
