After rebirth, the Prime Minister's wife married the living devil

He Zhiyuan was lying on the ground motionless with his eyes half closed.

His eyes immediately widened, he rolled to the side, crawled towards the person coming, and muttered, "It's Eunuch Li!"

"Eunuch Li, save me!" He Zhiyuan shouted with all his strength.

Li Yanqi frowned, and without the slightest hesitation, he moved as fast as lightning to kill He Zhiyuan.

He had no other thoughts now. No matter who came, no one could stop him. He must kill He Zhiyuan today.

Just as the dagger penetrated half an inch into the back of his heart, a palm wind struck his ear.

Li Yanqi stepped back a few steps and engaged the newcomer.

In just a few breaths, in the misty night, the two had exchanged more than a dozen moves. One could not see their movements clearly, but could only hear the sound of strong wind cutting through the air.

Seeing this, Ma Xigui and Chen Ermu immediately rushed forward and fought with the men brought by Eunuch Li.

The moment Eunuch Li blocked the dagger with his whisk, he was secretly surprised, what a great skill.

Can……

He frowned. These moves seemed familiar, yet not quite right.

The more he hit, the deeper his frown became. Seizing the opportunity, he slapped Li Yanqi on the chest. The latter caught it with his palm, and with the help of the palm force, he dodged a few times and landed lightly three feet away.

"Stop! I am Li Shouhai, the eunuch of His Royal Highness Prince Cheng. Who are you? Why did you break into Qingzhou at night, burn the grain and grass, and assassinate the Minister of the Cangbu Department of Qingzhou?"

Under Li Shouhai's long beard were a pair of eyes that sparkled with brilliance. He looked up and down at the tall figure in the night.

"Oh, it turns out to be you, Eunuch Li. I have heard of you for a long time."

Li Yanqi looked at him across the night.

He had already guessed the identity of the man when they fought. He had heard before that there was a great eunuch named Li Shouhai under King Cheng, who had served King Cheng since he was born and accompanied him through life and death. They had a very special relationship.

Moreover, Li Shouhai was trained as a secret guard by the late emperor and sent to King Cheng to protect his son, so he is extremely loyal and has great martial arts skills.

Li Yanqi made a "tsk" sound and sheathed the dagger into his waist. He knew that he could not let He Zhiyuan die in his hands today.

However, he took a look at the person lying at Li Shouhai's feet. It would not be easy for a weakling like He Zhiyuan to survive with such serious injuries.

Thinking of this, Li Yanqi took a few steps forward, bowed his body and saluted to Li Shouhai.

"My Lord, I have absolutely no disrespect towards His Royal Highness Prince Cheng and you. I did burn the grain, but I only burned the warehouse under He Zhiyuan's jurisdiction. I did not do anything else."

Li Shouhai looked at his respectfully lowered head, then glanced at He Zhiyuan at his feet.

"Do you have a personal grudge against Lord He?"

"Yes." Li Yanqi looked up at Li Shouhai through the gap between his hanging hair.

"But personal grudges alone would not have led Li to do this. Li was really forced into this desperate measure."

Li Shouhai looked at his eyes beneath his jet-black hair and was lost in thought for a moment.

He frowned slowly, and unconsciously tilted his head slightly to look at Li Yanqi's eyebrows and eyes, and asked: "What do you mean?"

"To be honest with you, Eunuch Li, I am the lieutenant general of the Chongzhou Jiedushi Mansion. He Zhiyuan took advantage of my absence from the prefecture to deal with bandits and took my pregnant wife to Qingzhou, 500 miles away, for his own selfish desires."

"He forced my wife and children to stay in the mansion, and tried to stop me from taking them away from Qingzhou. He even wanted to kill me. I had no choice but to fight back in self-defense."

Li Shouhai originally frowned and tilted his head to look at Li Yanqi's appearance, but now he couldn't help but be surprised. He lowered his head to look at He Zhiyuan and said coldly: "Sir He, is it true? You kidnapped Li Li's wife and children, and you want to kill him?"

He Zhiyuan covered the wound that was bleeding profusely and shook his head weakly. He was obviously breathing out more than breathing in.

"Someone, take Lord He to the doctor."

Li Yanqi watched the two guards taking He Zhiyuan away, and the regret in his eyes almost showed through.

He felt unhappy, and after he withdrew his gaze, he straightened his back, raised his black eyelashes, and glanced at Li Shouhai.

"If you don't believe me, you can just arrest the maids and servants in the He Mansion and interrogate them. That shouldn't be difficult for you, right?"

"You, you are?"

Li Shouhai's eyes widened instantly, and he took a few quick steps forward and stood in front of Li Yanqi. He looked him up and down, and asked in a low voice, "Where are you from? How old are your parents?"

Li Yanqi took a half step back, subconsciously touched the scabbard with his hand, and said with a smirk, "I am an orphan. I wandered to Yunlong County, Chongzhou when I was about seven years old. Why?"

There is nothing to hide about these things. If Li Shouhai wants to know, he can just ask around and find out.

"You..." Li Shouhai's pupils shrank slightly and he glanced at the guard behind him.

"My wife's sister was just shot and killed by He Zhiyuan's men. We have to rush back to Chongzhou to bury her. May I ask, sir, can we leave now?"

Li Yanqi stood with his toes pointed outward, his hands on his waist, his eyes staring at Li Shouhai like a night owl.

His eyes are extremely beautiful, a rare type of phoenix eyes. The pupils that look at him are dark and sharp, and the arc at the end of his eyes is like a landscape painting, elegant and noble.

Li Shouhai stared at him for a few moments, slowly let out a long breath, turned his back to him, and said, "I will report the whole matter to His Royal Highness King Cheng... You... go now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yanqi, without the slightest hesitation, winked at the horse rider Chen Ermu, went to the foot of the city wall to pick up Lin Yanyu, and rushed out of the city gate with his horse's belly clamped.

Watching them leave, a guard standing behind Li Shouhai frowned and said, "Eunuch, His Royal Highness Prince Cheng clearly..."

Li Shouhai waved his whisk and looked at the guard calmly.

The guard immediately bowed his head and said, "This subordinate deserves death."

Soon, Zhang Dai, the guard of the west gate, arrived with a group of men.

Zhang Dai first glanced at the empty city gate, then at the corpses scattered all over the ground. He immediately fell off his horse with sweat all over his forehead and said in panic, "Eunuch Li, I am late! Do you want me to chase them now?"

Li Shouhai flicked his whisk, snorted coldly, and said, "No need. At the speed General Zhang is rushing, the daylily will be cold. Sir Zhang should go home and hug his newly married concubine."

"This, this..." Zhang Dai knew that he was finished this time.

He did not dare to wipe the sweat off his forehead, and followed behind Li Shouhai, begging desperately: "Eunuch Li, Eunuch Li, please have mercy on me and say a few good words for me in front of His Royal Highness King Cheng."

Li Shouhai didn't even glance at the people behind him. He just walked forward, silently jumped on his horse, and rode towards the City Prince's Palace.

When they returned to Prince Cheng's Mansion, the doorman immediately came up and took the reins from Li Shouhai.

"Eunuch Li, you are back."

Li Shouhai stepped into the doorway as if he hadn't heard anything. Suddenly, he came to his senses and asked the doorman, "Where's His Highness?"

"Your Highness..."

The doorman made a "tsk" sound, looked around, and found that no one was paying attention to this side, so he said softly: "Today, that person quarreled with His Highness again for some reason, and smashed everything that could be smashed in the room. Madam Cheng was afraid that the master would be hurt, so she wanted to bring people in to clean up, but they were all kicked out."

"I advise you not to get into trouble now."
