Chapter 65 Counterattack
After Li Cong finished speaking, Chu Chenfeng did not respond for a long time.
"Your Highness?" Li Congxie lost his patience. This young man had really grown up, and he could no longer see through him.
"Just because of this, you think that brother didn't hang himself? Li Cong, people change. Brother has been kept in seclusion for more than three years. Maybe he didn't find out anything, which made him depressed..."
"No!" Li Cong said seriously, "I know that the late crown prince would never do that."
Chu Chenfeng stopped talking and just looked at him quietly for a long time. "I know about this matter. Just leave it to me."
Because he never believed that his bright and handsome brother would commit suicide.
"That old minister..."
"Teacher Li only needs to help the emperor stabilize the court, and there is no need to worry about anything else. You just need to know that I will not let any of those who harmed my brother go."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man turned around and left. The dangerous aura emanating from his body startled even Xing Er, who opened the door. What's wrong with the master?
When the other Li family members outside the door saw Chu Chenfeng like this, they took two steps back, except Li Mulan.
What did this man talk about with my grandfather? Why is his momentum even more frightening than before, as if he wants to eat me.
Chu Chenfeng didn't look at anyone and left. The men in black in the yard all left immediately. In just a moment, the Li family's small yard returned to peace.
Li Xun was the first to react and walked into the house quickly, "Dad?"
Li Cong has not yet recovered from his recent emotions and looks a little sad.
"Dad? Are you okay?" Li Yi asked with concern.
Li Cong turned his head, looked at his three sons, and waved his hand, "It's okay, don't worry."
Seeing their old father like this, even if they had a lot to say, they held back and decided to wait until tomorrow.
Huo Yuanruo looked at the person walking away and snorted, "You are a dog that takes advantage of the power of others, bullies the minority with your numbers, and bullies others with your power. Humph."
Qingyu patted Huo Yuanruo on the shoulder and said, "Okay, the regent of Da Chu is not someone you can easily mess with."
Huo Yuanruo suddenly thought of something and ran to Li Mulan's side, "Master Junior, those men in black just now are really members of the Killer Alliance."
Li Mulan nodded, "Did you see that?"
Huo Yuanruo stroked his chin, "Not at first, but then one of the leaders obviously knew who I was, and I felt a little familiar with me."
Li Mulan looked at him and asked, "Do you know him?"
"If he really is a member of the Killer Alliance, hehehe, then I know who he is. That's great, this time we can settle all the new and old grudges together." Huo Yuanruo was full of excitement, and the big knife in his hand was ready to move.
"Who is it? Do I know him?"
"I know him. He's the second in command of the Aoki Group of the Killer Alliance, Scorpion."
"It's him?" Li Mulan rolled her eyes. "You didn't make a mistake?"
"It's about right," he said, then raised his eyebrows at Li Mulan, "Master Junior, what do you think?"
"They will definitely not give up until the mission is completed. Now that they recognize you, they will probably find some helpers."
"So, let's chase them now and deal with them before the two groups meet up."
Li Mulan glanced at Li Cong's house and said, "I'll go with my sister, you stay here to protect my family."
Huo Yuanruo's face drooped immediately. "Let Sister Qingyu stay. I'm going to beat up Scorpion. Besides, didn't the regent arrange for someone to protect him? It's okay. I just checked and they're all pretty good."
"No, I won't feel at ease if you don't stay. After all, those...are not our people."
Qingyu didn't really want Li Mulan to take the risk, "Xiaojiu, let Yuan Ruo go alone. Those people are no match for him."
Li Mulan knew Qingyu was worried about her, so she waved her hand and said, "Why don't you stay here, and I'll go with Yuanyuan. Don't worry, we've done this kind of thing many times, so there's nothing to worry about. Besides, I don't know anything else, but my ability to escape and save my life is something that even Master praised."
Qingyu thought about it and it was true. Given the reputation these two had in the martial arts world, anyone would stay away from them.
"Then you better be careful and come back as soon as possible."
"Oh, don't worry, Sister Qingyu. My junior master and I haven't stretched our muscles for a long time. This time we have the chance, but..." Huo Yuanruo looked at the clothes on his junior master, "This won't work for you." Then he ran to find Li Xi.
It just so happened that Qingyu had just prepared several sets of clothes for everyone in the Li family. Li Xi was thin, so Li Mulan could wear his clothes.
The two of them didn't waste any time, changed their clothes and left.
Huo Yuanruo knew the behavior of the assassins very well, and soon found their hiding place. These people were also very brave, and they probably thought that the most dangerous place was the safest place, so they hid in a mountain a few miles away.
The mountain was not big, but the trees were dense. It was late at night, so it was difficult to be found. Of course, this was not difficult for Li Mulan. After all, she was a special forces soldier in her previous life and had performed many missions in the wild. She was very good at tracking.
After years of training by Li Mulan, Huo Yuanruo is very familiar with her style of doing things.
The two of them didn't need to communicate at all, they cooperated very well and quickly found the hiding place of these people. The two of them remained calm and observed in secret.
"Boss, why are we retreating? If we fight hard, we may not lose." A square-faced man asked his boss.
Scorpion's eyes were vicious. Thinking of the brat who couldn't possibly be here, his teeth clenched. "Do you know who that brat who showed up later was?"
"Who?" The square-faced man had some impression of who it was, but he really didn't know who it was. "Looks like he has some skills."
"Humph, you have more than just some skills. You," Scorpion looked at the remaining dozen people, "are all the new members of Group 2 that I selected this year. Do you know where the previous members of Group 2 went?"
Everyone was silent. With their identities, where else could they go? They must have died while carrying out their mission. Or they were seriously injured and lost their value. In the end... they had no choice but to die.
Scorpion didn't keep the secret any longer, "Almost all of them died at the hands of that brat just now."
Everyone was shocked. "That boy looks young, but how can he be so capable?"
One of them who knew something about the inside story exclaimed, "He is Huo Dadao?"
Scorpion nodded, "But it's strange, every time Huo Dadao appears, there are always two of them. This time... I was afraid that the other one was there, so I retreated first." The other one was even more ruthless than Huo Dadao.
"Who on earth is this Huo Dadao? How dare he interfere in the affairs of our Killer Alliance?"
"He has a very important background. Does the newly appointed Wulin leader Situ Tianming know him? He is his master. The two are exactly the same."
The square-faced man said angrily, "What should we do now? Should we stop doing the mission?"
"Of course not. I have sent a pigeon message back and asked them to send two more groups of brothers. I don't believe that we can't do anything to Huo Dadao."
"Then shouldn't the reward for this mission be divided between the two groups?" A younger killer was somewhat reluctant.
"Which is more important, life or money? We must complete this mission. Even if we can't, there will be others to take over. Besides, we have absolutely no chance of winning with just one group of people."
