"Brother, you and he have never worn the same pair of pants before. Why is he so cold?"

"I've explained it several times. We really didn't intend to regret our marriage. Why is he still so resentful?"

Seeing Mao Feng with tears in his eyes and mouth licking his lips, Mao Qun looked away from the direction Li Yi left.

"If you put yourself in his situation and think about it, your family is ruined and everyone is beheaded. If it were you, would you still be the same as before?"

Mao Feng blinked. If it were him... he should just wipe his neck and be done with it.

It wasn't until it was getting dark that everyone came out of the forest. The leader of this hunt was Lin Jin. Among them, he was the only one who was serious about hunting.

The young masters from each family handed over twenty taels of silver to Mao Qun. The fine iron sword was not ready-made, and the blacksmith would make it according to Lin Jin's requirements.

"Thank you for this."

Before leaving, Li Yi spoke to the Mao brothers.

"Marquis Jing'an, there is no need to be so polite."

"You and I..."

Mao Qun sighed.

"Farewell."

After Li Yiwei was silent, he nodded to Mao Qun, took the reins, and rode away.

"Did Ling Xuan'er do anything strange today?"

Returning to Jinganhou Mansion, Li Yi called for guards.

"I'd like to report to you, Duke Du, that I only went to the rouge and gouache shop."

Li Yi leaned back tiredly. Every moment he spent in Duxuan City was torture for him. He didn't dare to think about what Tang Xin suffered at the hands of Ling Yi.

She looks soft, but her temperament is extremely tough and strong. If Ling Yi uses force, she will definitely resist to the death.

If you can't do it openly, will Ling Yi do it secretly? Under his control, Tang Xin could put whatever he wanted in his meals and tea...

Li Yi's eyes were cold and his fingers clenched.

If Tang Xin is not found in another seven days, he will capture Ling Yi alive. Isn't it just an escape?

"Go and send a message to Song Cao and ask him to pack his things. As soon as the city gate opens, he will leave Xuancheng, the capital."

Li Yi looked at the guard and said in a deep voice.

The guard immediately went down, and a quarter of an hour later, he came back, "Master Du, it has been conveyed."

"Is there any news about Wu Maoshi?" Li Yi rubbed his forehead and said.

"It's still a letter from this morning, saying that we have arrived at Fengdu."

"Fengdu Pass, if the wind goes smoothly, we can leave Dongzhou in one day. Hurry up and we should be able to leave Qin State in three days."

"Have the arrangements for the people from Chu State been arranged?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Du, I've been waiting for you for a long time." The guard knew that he was worried and said with relief.

Li Yi nodded. Before Qixing Ye was sent to Jian'an, he couldn't let go of the tension in his heart.

"It's getting late, let's go rest and recharge our batteries."

After the guards retreated, Li Yi slowly closed his eyes and thought quietly.

If Ling Yi is captured, which way will he need to avoid the pursuers after leaving the capital Xuancheng?

The prefectures and counties are definitely not allowed to go, and the only ones that can be walked are mountain roads.

But once they are surrounded by others and run out of ammunition and food, wouldn't they be at the mercy of others?

Taking risks and seeking death are two completely different concepts.

He must be deployed.

Covering her mouth with a handkerchief, Tang Xin coughed suppressedly. Mo Shu quickly poured hot water for her, "Miss, let's play in the room tomorrow. Your cold syndrome is getting worse."

"It doesn't matter." Tang Xin smiled at Mo Shu, with only the ends of his eyes turning red.

Du Qianwei has been looking for her for so long and has found Du Xuancheng. They will not give up easily. They must still be looking for her whereabouts. Unable to get out of here, Tang Xin can only use the sound of the piano to attract others' attention.

This was the only effort she could make.

"Miss."

Mo Shu's eyes were red. In order not to be blocked, the eldest lady pretended that nothing happened and didn't even take any medicine. If this continued, how could she endure it.

"Okay, let's go and rest."

Tang Xin touched Mo Shu's head and said softly.

Mo Shu sniffed and made up his mind. When Ling Yi came again, he would knock him out and hold him hostage, so that they could go back.

Mo Shu's idea was good, but he was a little naive. If Ling Yi could be attacked by her sneak attack, he would have died many times.

"Master Marquis, the second son of the Lin family is here."

Early in the morning, the guards came to Li Yi to report.

Li Yiqing frowned, Lin Jin really said what he was talking about. Without any delay, he came to block the door early in the morning.

"Jing'an Marquis, do you think we are competing in marksmanship or swordsmanship?"

Lin Jin walked towards Li Yi and smiled heartily.

Li Yi pursed his lips, arguing that he just wanted to kick him out.

"I'm not feeling well today. Let's try another day."

"That won't work, I'm here." Lin Jin said, with a stern look in his eyes, and punched Li Yi in the face.

Li Yi dodged sideways and grabbed Lin Jin's wrist.

Lin Jin smiled, pulled forward, and kicked him back.

Li Yi waved his hand to block. Seeing that there was no end to this, he narrowed his eyes and changed retreat into advance, using all his fierce moves.

The leisurely look on Lin Jin's face gradually disappeared, and he began to struggle. By accident, he was kicked in the chest by Li Yi.

Falling to the ground, Lin Jin coughed, "Marquis Jing'an, what a skill!"

"But this alone is not enough. Nowadays, except for the emperor, few people in Xuancheng are willing to see the Jing'an Marquis Mansion rise."

"Including the Lin family?" Li Yi lifted up his robe and sat down on the steps.

"You really are wary of everyone."

Lin Jin sat up from the ground, "If the Lin family has any intention towards you, I wouldn't have come here."

"Father asked me to tell you that if you encounter difficulties, you can go to him."

"Why didn't I see you show affection that day?" Li Yi said with sarcasm.

Lin Jin opened his mouth, "You were not in Duxuan City. I don't know the scene at that time. The Jiang family was convicted very quickly, and they were escorted to the execution ground in just three days. Even if the Lin family wanted to, they couldn't do it in such a short time..."

"Okay." Li Yi stood up, filled with a chilling air, and walked away.

"Jiang Jin." Lin Jin shouted, and when he saw Li Yi disappeared in an instant, he sighed softly. His whole family was slaughtered, how could he not complain.

I just hope he won't be impulsive.

Holding his chest, Lin Jin left the Jingan Marquis Mansion.

"The tea at Fengxia Tower is bland and Marquis Jing'an may not like it, so I specially brought a jug of wine." Ling Yi picked up the jug and served it to Li Yiman.

"Obviously, those who framed the Jiang family have been beheaded, but the person who guided all this is still above all officials. Is Marquis Jing'an really willing to watch like this?"

Ling Yi raised his eyes and looked at Li Yi, easy-going yet sharp.

Li Yi took a sip of wine and said, "I thought you would go around in circles first and at least understand what kind of person I am before you say this."

"I've thought about how to be false, Ling Shaoqing really doesn't follow the routine."

Li Yi shook the wine glass and chuckled.

"In that case, I won't talk nonsense. If the Ling family wants to win over me, they must show sincerity."

"As long as the given conditions are suitable and what I need to do, just one sentence will do."

"Of course, the premise of all this is that we have the same goal."
