The cold blade was stained with blood, and the crimson liquid slowly slid down from the tip of the blade and fell to the ground.

Li Yanqi jumped off his horse swiftly, and without a care in the world, he passed his long sword through the bird-wing ring, and stepped into the governor's mansion with a murderous look on his face.

He was dressed in black, with his black hair tied up high. His sharp eyebrows and eyes were full of murderous intent. A few drops of blood splashed on his honey-colored face, and there were traces of blood on his neck. His black soap boots stepped on the bluestone slabs, leaving a faint dark color.

The guards of the Jiedushi Mansion all knew what kind of storm this Lord Li would be facing, and they were originally thinking of waiting for the show.

At this moment, they all nervously took a few steps back to avoid the strong smell of blood on the man, and watched him enter the main hall with fear on their faces.

As soon as Li Yanqi stepped into the hall, the gloomy atmosphere suddenly condensed.

His dry and sticky fingers made him feel uncomfortable. He twisted his fingertips, curled his red lips, and smiled lazily, "Hey, is everyone here?"

He clenched his fist loosely and waved to everyone, "Hello, Mr. Cai, Mr. Prefect, and all the lieutenant generals."

After making a few random gestures, he sat down on an empty armchair, slumped down like he was not sitting, and breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "It feels so good. I'm so tired."

When he described this, the faces of everyone present changed instantly.

Qian Sanwen's face flushed red, and he pointed at him and kept saying to Cai Zhang: "I told you a long time ago that raising a tiger will bring disaster, but you didn't listen. Old Cai, can you be trusted now?!"

Cai Zhang's face turned dark blue, and no one knew what he was thinking. He didn't say anything for a while.

The expressions of the lieutenant generals were different. Some were gloating, such as Liu Mazi, some were excited, such as Ma Ben who got medical treatment and saved his life. Most of the others were indifferent.

Li Yanqi stretched his stiff neck, as if he couldn't see how ugly other people's expressions were.

He said casually, "The battlefield has not been cleaned up yet. I wonder why you gentlemen want me here at this time? If it's nothing important, I'll have a cup of tea and go back to clean up the battlefield."

Qian Sanwen couldn't hold it in any longer and started to attack, saying, "Li Yanqi! You are so bold! Who gave you the courage to kill King Maoping's men?"

"That's new, Mr. Qian." Li Yanqi leaned forward and frowned, "If I remember correctly, you seem to be the prefect of Chongzhou? Or are you the prefect of Maozhou?"

His brows furrowed even more tightly, and he looked puzzled.

"That's not right. The prefect of Maozhou is Lord Hu Zhongqing. He is a loyal and brave official who serves the people and the king. It's a pity that he was unwilling to go along with the rebels and was killed by them."

Li Yanqi sighed, "I feel a little sorry for Lord Hu now. If he had a bit of your shamelessness, Lord Qian, he wouldn't have to die."

Qian Sanwen's face suddenly turned red, and he didn't know whether he was angry or embarrassed.

His fingers trembled as he pointed at Li Yanqi and said, "You, you... Li Yanqi, you are about to die, and you are still talking nonsense to me! You killed so many soldiers in Maozhou, they will not let you go!"

"Those who kill the people of Chongzhou are enemies. Since they are enemies, why can't I kill them? And..."

"You won't let me go?" Li Yanqi raised one of his thick black eyebrows, raised his chin, and said nonchalantly: "Then I'll wait here."

Qian Sanwen was startled for a moment, then angrily said: "If you want to die, don't drag me and Lao Cai into it. King Maoping has a large army. You have taught him such a big loss this time, he will definitely not let you off easily."

His eyes rolled, his tone slowed down, and he advised earnestly: "If you still have a conscience, go to King Maoping and apologize. This will save your face, and your wife will not be implicated by you. Otherwise..."

"how?"

The word "Madam" made Li Yanqi's raised brows fall.

"Don't blame me and Lao Cai for being cruel!" Qian Sanwen slammed the table hard, turned around and yelled, "Lao Cai! Why don't you do it!"

Cai Zhang paused and felt hesitant. It was not that he was reluctant to part with Li Yanqi. He knew that this kid had a wild mind and was difficult to control. He was also unhappy about it, but the huge amount of money offered every month was not fake.

Everyone looked at Cai Zhang. Li Yanqi also raised his eyelids to look at him and sneered in his heart.

Qian Sanwen's triangular eyes were full of disbelief.

"Old Cai, what are you still hesitating about? If you anger Liu Ping and Han Guang, Hu Zhongqing will be your and my fate. You need to catch the culprit and send him over to clear your relationship with them, so that they can calm down. Only then can you and I survive. Have you forgotten those words?"

The last sentence made Cai Zhang startled. His eyes darkened and he turned to Li Yanqi.

The latter raised his eyebrows at him and asked slowly with an ambiguous tone, "Does Lord Cai think so too?"

Cai Zhang knew what was going on, but he still tried to give it a high-sounding tone.

"Yanqi, I treated you well. You disobeyed military orders and ignored me. I am magnanimous and can let you off the hook. You can only blame me for being so bold and provoking someone you shouldn't have provoked. This is also for the sake of the people of Chongzhou."

Li Yanqi wanted to vomit on the spot in front of him, and looked at him lazily with a sidelong smile, to see what else he could fart.

really--

"Give me the account books of the patrol camp now, and I will help you plead with King Maoping to see if he can let you go. I will also protect your wife. Don't worry."

Cai Zhang’s thoughts now are very simple. He doesn’t have to do anything in the future and he can get nearly half of the profits. He doesn’t want to deal with merchants and refugees, as that would be too degrading.

But now that Li Yanqi has seen that it is useless, it would be better to just swallow up his patrol battalion.

Li Yanqi's wife thought that this boy was an orphan and had accumulated such a huge fortune. Once he left, all the money would definitely fall into his wife's hands.

He had seen the young lady before. She was extremely beautiful, prettier than the ones in his backyard, and she was also a good girl.

If Li Yanqi died, wouldn't he be able to gain both wealth and beauty?

Thinking of this, Cai Zhang suddenly became enlightened, and felt even more anxious than Qian Sanwen.

Li Yanqi just realized that people will laugh when they are extremely angry.

He laughed a few times, adjusted his sitting position, and asked Cai Zhang arrogantly: "What if I don't?"

"Old Cai, what are you waiting for? Capture him and send him to King Maoping!"

Cai Zhang and Qian Sanwen nodded, looked at Li Yanqi, and raised their right hands.

Liu Mazi's eyes were shining and he was eager to try. He just waited for him to say "get him" and then he would go forward to grab Li Yanqi.

Ma Ben's whole body was tense, his hands were placed on his waist, his eyes were tense and worried.

Cai Zhangfang said the word "take".

In a flash, Li Yanqi, who was lazily slumped in the armchair, suddenly jumped up and dropped a dagger from his sleeve, which flashed across everyone's eyes like lightning.

Cai Zhang would never be able to utter the word "xia" again.

Peach blossoms splashed everywhere, and everyone gasped.

Qian Sanwen was the closest to him and subconsciously closed his eyes. The warm touch sliding down his face made him shiver.

He forced himself to open his eyes, and was immediately frightened to the point of choking. He couldn't breathe, and said with trembling fingers, "Li Yanqi, you, you, you..."

"You two are so kind that you insist on sending me to the enemy. If I don't send you off, wouldn't it be like blaming me for being rude?"
