Chapter 373 Killer
As soon as you enter the gate, there is a very large courtyard with bamboos planted on both sides of the garden along the eaves.
The corridors on both sides of the gate are about two meters wide, with solid wooden benches placed against the eaves. The corners on both sides are carefully changed into arc shapes to prevent children from bumping into them and dying on the spot.
Walking past the eaves is a sunken courtyard, which is only about one foot high, but has three steps thoughtfully designed. It is about 3 meters long and about the size of three adult feet in width.
Li Cunxi walked into the yard along the stairs and looked down.
Beyond the steps was a row of bluestone pavement, extending from in front of Li Cunxi all the way to the lobby twenty meters away.
The ground on both sides was empty, except for the area near the eaves where bamboos were planted. The rest of the area had only three stone tables and about twenty stone benches.
Li Cunxi couldn't remember whether these things were changed later or existed before.
The only memory he had before the age of three was the day his family was raided. His adult memory, coupled with the brutal scene of that day, made it impossible for him to forget the tragic sight of his family being beheaded.
Li Yuanfang and Hu Jinghui have moved to both sides and are moving forward at the same pace as Li Cunxi and his companions.
This can effectively prevent sneak attacks. With their sharpness, they can easily stop any hidden weapon from being launched by the enemy.
Hu Jinghui himself is an expert in hidden weapons, and he pays close attention to every corner where someone might be ambushed.
However, they were destined to make a fuss tonight. They believed that those who might have attacked Li Cunxi were now in prison, and there seemed to be no reason for others to ambush here to kill Li Cunxi.
After all, it was Li Cunxi who suggested coming here tonight to take a look two quarters of an hour ago.
“It’s built pretty well now…”
Li Cunxi walked to the lobby door and bared his teeth.
"Go back and ask His Majesty to take this place back."
"If you want, I can actually directly order this place to be closed and use it as your inn." Mi Qing rubbed his eyes.
"Brother, this is really a blatant act. If His Majesty knew about this, he would punish you."
"I was promoted because of you. At worst, you can help me out in the future. This is your home anyway."
"You're such a good brother."
Li Cunxi took a step forward and pushed open the lobby door with force.
Just as Li Cunxi thought, the decoration inside the door was no different from that of ordinary noble houses.
In terms of luxury alone, the lobby of my mentor Wu Chengsi's home is a thousand times more luxurious than the decoration here.
As for the Di Mansion...
Forget about the Di Mansion. How can a wealthy family be compared with princes and nobles? There is too big a difference in level.
"Let's go to another place... Brother, where is the back garden?"
Li Cunxi turned around and looked at Mi Qing.
"I'll take you there."
Mi Qing pointed outside.
"Let's go around from the side."
……
"Boss, we've been monitoring them for so long, and finally saw them coming out. There are only a few people accompanying them, so why don't we take action?"
"You idiot, have you forgotten that the brothers who rescued Xue Qinglin and Feng Wanchun a few days ago were killed by Li Cunxi's men?"
"But, Boss, the bodies of those brothers have not been found, and whether they are alive or dead has not yet been determined, right?"
"They are already dead... If they were not dead, they should have joined us two days ago."
On a row of roofs, several figures were lying on them, whispering.
The leader was tall and slender, with hands that were unusually long, reaching past his knees. He had a machete on his back, two daggers on his waist, and a dagger on the edge of his boots.
They have been secretly tracking Li Cunxi and his group for several days, but have not found a suitable opportunity to attack them.
Just as the little Karami under his command said, it is time for them to take action.
After all, Li Cunxi is traveling tonight with only a dozen people. If they gather all the brothers together, they may be able to do their best to kill Li Cunxi.
However, the leader still has doubts about the assassination of Li Cunxi.
The several groups of brothers who left Luoyang with them were originally tasked with rescuing the six thieves from Xunyang.
However, until all six thieves were killed, only two groups of people came forward to rescue them.
These two groups of people were just two of the seven groups that set out together. The four groups responsible for rescuing the other four thieves have not appeared until now.
According to the agreement they made when they parted, they would meet at the Cassava Inn in Xunyang County two days ago.
however……
The black shadow looked back at the brothers following him and had a rough guess about the whereabouts of the six groups of people.
It must be Li Cunxi and his men who killed all the others.
"Based on the current situation, those brothers are probably all dead, and we are the only ones who can assassinate Li Cunxi."
“So, we only have one chance, and if we don’t succeed, we will have failed that person’s expectations.”
"I want to wait until we have a chance of complete success before we go and assassinate that damn Li Cunxi and help that gentleman solve his problems."
The shadow said as he lowered his head.
"Although Li Cunxi brought a small number of people this time, they must be the elite among the elite. We must not take risks."
"Pass the order down. All of us brothers, no matter where we are ambushing, must retreat. Do not alert the people here and do not expose your tracks."
……
In the east of the city, in an inn, in the dim environment, five light footsteps were heard, and then they sat down on the ground together.
The window was opened a little, and sporadic moonlight poured in, adding a little brightness to the dim space.
The five figures happened to be sitting on both sides of the slanting light, and seeing this, they all looked out the window.
The leading man sat cross-legged with his hands on his knees. In this space where it was almost impossible to see each other's faces, he could tell who was around him by the sound of footsteps.
"Boss, is there anything you want to tell us to do that has brought us here tonight?"
One of them couldn't stand the loneliness and asked.
His tone was very strange, as if he was a drunkard, but no one smelled any alcohol.
"They've taken action." The leading man said calmly.
"Oh?" The man who asked the question was puzzled. "Haven't we already eliminated six gangs of thieves? How come there is a seventh gang?"
"I didn't expect that. According to the clues I got, there were indeed only six groups of people who came to rescue the six thieves in Xunyang. But today I found the seventh group. They gathered secretly and then left in batches... The target might be that Li Shaoyin."
Everyone was speechless for a while, but after thinking about it, they felt a little relieved.
A woman said, "Fortunately, we chose to stay and see the complete destruction of the Jiangzhou bandits, otherwise we would not know that Li Shaoyin would be robbed and killed again."
"Yeah, I don't know what that person was thinking. He insisted on killing Li Shaoyin." said a strong man.
