The night in Yangzhou City.
It was completely different from the night in Qinghe.
Under the night sky, countless lights were bright.
In brothels and taverns.
There were songs and dances.
The sound of stringed and woodwind instruments could be vaguely heard.
And the laughter of the guests.
However, most of the people in this inn had already gone to bed.
They didn't belong to Yangzhou.
It was just a temporary trip.
They still had to travel tomorrow.
Only the light in Li Wuyou's room was still on.
He didn't sleep.
Li Qiu, who accompanied him to Yangzhou, didn't dare to sleep either.
He was already very sleepy.
His eyelids couldn't help but fight.
His head was like a chicken pecking at rice.
However, he tried to stay awake and was ready to be dispatched at any time.
The patriarch was cautious and conscientious for the Li family!
He hadn't rested at this time.
What an admirable spirit it was.
He had to do something for the Li family.
He couldn't sleep.
Even if he poured a cup of tea for the patriarch, he would feel more at ease.
"Li Qiu, come in."
Time passed.
The hoarse voice of the night watchman passed by the inn for the second time.
It was the second night watch.
Li Wuyou's lazy voice came from the room.
"Patriarch, what are your orders?"
Li Qiu was refreshed. He quickly stood up and almost ran into the room.
In the room.
The light flickered slightly.
Li Wuyou was in a white robe.
He sat at the desk with an ancient thread-bound book in his left hand.
There was a cup of cold tea on his right hand.
"Close the door."
Li Wuyou looked up and waved at Li Qiu. He smiled amiably.
"Come here. I have something to say to you."
"Yes!"
Li Qiu carefully closed the door and stood opposite Li Wuyou in fear and trepidation.
His eyes were hot.
There was some unconcealable excitement on his face.
The patriarch called him over so late and had such a good attitude. Was he going to give him advice?
Or entrust him with an important task?
After all, the Qinghe Chamber of Commerce had basically been established.
It was about to start.
"What are your orders, Patriarch? I, Li Qiu, will go through fire and water without hesitation. "
He wanted to show his loyalty, so he said with a burning gaze.
"Not to the extent of dying ten thousand times."
Li Wuyou smiled, put down the ancient thread-bound book, and said.
"I just need to die."
"Ah?"
Li Qiu was stunned.
He didn't understand the meaning of those words.
Boom!
At this moment, Li Wuyou moved.
The warm smile on his face turned into a dense killing intent.
The hand that was holding the book just now clenched into a fierce and domineering iron fist.
In the blink of an eye, he was right in front of Li Qiu.
"You …"
Li Qiu's eyes suddenly widened.
However, he didn't say a single word.
Bang!
The strength of a Perfected Innate Fist was one thousand three hundred jin.
Coupled with the steel-like muscles and skin brought about by the Iron Bones.
This punch was enough to destroy gold and break stone.
Li Qiu couldn't dodge or resist!
A muffled sound was heard.
The head was completely smashed apart.
Blood burst out.
His headless body swayed and fell to the ground.
Blood slowly flowed out.
"Next!"
The ferocious expression on Li Wuyou's face instantly disappeared. Then, he picked up the handkerchief that he had prepared and wiped the blood on his fist.
Then, he drank the remaining half of the cup of green poplar spring.
He put on a black cloak.
He jumped into the night sky of Yangzhou City from the window.
"Next!"
He muttered to himself.
… …
At the Frequent Inn.
It was already late at night.
Most of the guests had already gone to bed.
But at the same time, there was a room where the light was still shining.
Two figures were projected in front of the window.
"Great grandfather, you want to betroth me to the head of the Li family? Why? I don't want to get married so early! "
A slightly coquettish voice came from inside.
Looking in the direction of the voice.
Under the light, there was a young girl in a red dress.
She was fourteen or fifteen years old.
She was in the prime of her life.
Her face was delicate, and her eyes were pure and unworldly.
She was the only daughter of the current head of the Zhao family.
Zhao Liuli.
This trip was originally to Yangzhou City to relax.
She didn't expect that when she was about to rest at night, Zhao Sifang called her over and gave her this order.
To betroth her to someone else.
"Little Li, great grandfather is doing this for your own good."
Zhao Sifang gently fiddled with the wick of the oil lamp on the desk, and the light in the room became a little brighter.
His eyes flashed with hope for the future, and he said,
"This junior of the Li family is not simple."
"His breadth of mind and spirit is far beyond ordinary people."
"Furthermore, his talent is unparalleled."
"In the future, he will definitely lead the Li family to glory."
"While he hasn't taken off yet, marry him, and then win his heart. In the future … you will definitely be able to enjoy glory and wealth as the legal wife."
"But great grandfather …"
Zhao Liuli pursed her lips, still somewhat unwilling.
She was only fourteen years old. She didn't want to be like this …
"This is great grandfather's order."
Zhao Sifang interrupted Zhao Liuli's following words and frowned slightly. He said,
"Your father won't say anything."
"Tomorrow, I will arrange for you to contact the head of the Li family. You have to seize the opportunity."
Zhao Liuli lowered her head.
She didn't refuse.
"Little Li, great grandfather's judgment of people is definitely not wrong. If you follow him, your future won't be bad."
"You will definitely be grateful to great grandfather in the future."
Zhao Sifang knew what his great granddaughter was thinking and advised her earnestly.
"Oh."
Zhao Liuli responded softly.
"Master, the head of the Li family is here to see you."
At this time, the voice of a servant came from outside the door.
"He's here?"
Zhao Sifang's face showed a trace of surprise.
"Speak of the devil!"
"Girl, don't avoid it. Stay by great grandfather's side. I'll let you see the good husband that great grandfather chose for you."
"I promise that after you see it, you won't be dissatisfied anymore."
Zhao Liuli didn't dare to refuse.
She stood behind Zhao Sifang.
And prepared to pour water and make tea.
Creak!
Not long after, the door opened.
Li Wuyou walked in in a white robe.
Under the illumination of the lights, his angular face appeared particularly handsome.
Moreover, there was a kind of modesty that made people easily let down their guard.
Zhao Liuli quietly glanced at him.
She couldn't help but be attracted.
Her little face was slightly flushed like rosy clouds.
Then, she quickly lowered her head.
Her heart beat faster.
Great grandfather's taste was really good. This person was really good-looking.
"Nephew, it's so late. What's the matter?"
Zhao Sifang caught a glimpse of the change in his great granddaughter's expression, and the wrinkles on his face couldn't help but ripple.
He stood up with a smile and personally came to greet Li Wuyou.
Even the way he addressed him became more affectionate.
"There are some important things."
Li Wuyou's face was as respectful and gentle as ever. Then, when he spoke, he glanced at the door again.
"I'll take my leave."
The servant of the Zhao family closed the door and left.
Li Wuyou glanced at Zhao Liuli, who was standing there.
"Liuli is not an outsider."
"Furthermore, this old man also has some matters regarding her that I would like to discuss with you later."
Zhao Sifang said with a smile.
He wanted the two to have a chance to meet, so he insisted on leaving his great granddaughter.
"She's so young."
Li Wuyou glanced at the young girl, whose face was as delicate as a flower, bright eyes, and white teeth, and even had some affection for him, and said with a smile.
"It's a pity!"
"Nephew, what do you mean?"
Zhao Sifang was shocked by Li Wuyou's words, and his face showed surprise.
"That is, she died too early!"
Li Wuyou's smile suddenly turned cold!
