Chapter 255 Chen Yiqu Returns to the Iron Hand Group

As the official concubine of Kui Wen Zhong, Xiao Hui was also a remarkable woman. She was said to be a descendant of the Li clan, but not a descendant of Emperor Gaozu.

It is said that Emperor Gaozu Li Yuan had several brothers, and Xiaohui's ancestor was one of them. As the princes rebelled one after another, more and more descendants of the Li family were exiled, and Xiaohui was one of them.

According to Wu Zetian's rule of bestowing surnames, Xiaohui is now undoubtedly renamed Kuihui.

And in the future, due to Xiao Qingfang's arrangement, his cousin and sister-in-law will enter the Prince's Mansion and become the bedmate of Prince Li Xian.

It’s quite perverted when you think about it. They are all members of the Li family, and they are all relatives of the Five Blessings. If they do this, isn’t that what it is?

Incest is not acceptable!

A storm went through Li Cunxi's mind, and the look he gave his good brother became much stranger. However, it was a good thing for brothers to get together, so Li Cunxi immediately asked Qiao Tai to go out and buy some ingredients to cook.

The only person who can cook in the Li family is the old Taoist Xu Guzi, so he has to be the one to cook.

The five people spent a day together, and when it was late at night, Kui Wenzhong went to look for Hu Jinghui and left Xiaomei behind.

Li Cunxi and Xiaomei sat in the room, staring at each other, not knowing what to say.

After a long while, Li Cunxi asked, "Do you want to take a break?"

"Where to sleep?"

"Uh, on my bed?"

"how about you?"

"I, I'm going to stay up all night tonight."

Xiaomei held her chin and looked out the window.

It’s a good day today. The moon is hanging in the sky, the stars are twinkling, and there is almost no cloud in the sky.

"Counting the days, your subordinate, the one called Chen Yiqu, has been hunted down by my people in Yangzhou." Xiaomei's expression was calm. "The Iron Hand Group sent people to assassinate you, don't you plan to retaliate against them?"

"There's no rush. It won't be too late to kill them in two years. I don't think they are the most urgent task right now."

"what is that?"

"I will patrol the country on behalf of the Heaven. This day has come too soon. I will take the initiative to ask to patrol the south first, go to Jiangzhou, and take revenge."

"As long as you have an idea, um..."

Li Cunxi asked softly: "Do you have anything to say to me?"

"Maybe, but you are too young. Let's wait until later...Does what you say count?"

"Which sentence?"

"Every sentence."

"What I say to others may not count, but what I say to you definitely counts."

A flash of joy flashed across Xiaomei's eyes for a moment, and then her normal expression returned to her face.

"Okay, I'm going to bed, how about you?"

"I, I sleep too?"

"Yeah, find me a place to deal with it." Xiaomei smiled with her eyes narrowed.

"Uh..." Li Cunxi rubbed his temple, "I'll stay up all night, you can rest on my bed."

"It's great to be young. I can endure a lot." Xiaomei stretched lazily. "Then I'll take a rest. See you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow, Sister Xiaomei."

Li Cunxi took a deep breath, went to sit behind the desk, opened the only copy of "The Analects of Confucius" on the desk, and pretended to read.

……

The sky is bright.

In Yangzhou, a man in black robe knocked on the gate of Prince Ying's Mansion. The old doorman of Prince Ying's Mansion came out to open the door. After seeing the appearance of the man in black robe, he could not help but tremble.

"Third hall master?"

The man in black robe lowered his hood, and it was Chen Yiqiu, his eyes were still bloodshot.

In order to create the impression that they had escaped with great difficulty, Chen Yiqu stayed up for a day and two nights just to confuse the Iron Hand Group.

"Take me to see the master."

Chen Yiqu's voice was hoarse, but it sounded like he was giving an order. The old man did not dare to disobey Chen Yiqu and hurriedly brought Chen Yiqu to the main hall.

Yuan Qi was walking back and forth in the main hall with his hands behind his back when he saw the old doorman coming in with a man in a black robe. He immediately became furious and picked up a machete to give the old doorman a blow.

"Master, I haven't seen you for a long time. Why are you so violent?"

Chen Yiqiu took off his black robe and asked calmly.

"Qi Hai?!"

Yuan Qi stopped and looked in disbelief at Chen Yiqu, who had not been seen for many days and looked unwell.

"You're finally back."

"Are you hurt anywhere?"

Yuan Qi dropped the machete, stepped forward, grabbed Chen Yiqu's arm, and looked at Chen Yiqu carefully.

"To be honest, I failed to kill Li Cunxi, and my brothers suffered heavy casualties. I lost contact with my third brother and the fifth hall master, and I don't know where they are. It's not easy for me to come back alive."

Chen Yiqu lowered his head and sighed.

He pretended very well and didn't let Yuan Qi see any clues. In fact, he knew yesterday that Bao Chong and Shi Xiong had returned to the Iron Hand Group alive. These two idiots even lost their weapons, and the Snake Spirit must have taken care of them on their escape.

"It's good that you are alive. The two idiots Bao Chong and Shi Xiong have returned. It's a pity that Xiang Jun, Hu Wei and Zhang Zhi died on the official road to Luoyang."

"We have suffered heavy casualties this time, and I hope the Sect Master will punish us."

"No punishment, no punishment. Not only will I not punish you, I will also reward you handsomely. I will reward you with one thousand and two taels of silver. When we gather together tomorrow, I will announce in public that you are the fourth senior brother of the Iron Hand Group." Yuan Qi patted Chen Yiqiu's shoulder vigorously, his eyes full of admiration.

Chen Yiqiu narrowed his eyes, his body swayed, his head tilted, and he fell to the ground in a curled up position.

"Someone, someone, please find a doctor, please find a doctor!"

……

In Yangzhou City.

Inside the Xi Ze Bank.

Ma Rong brought the three children to a side yard in the backyard, where they saw Li Gui sitting alone under the shade of a tree by the pond, with a chessboard on a stone table.

Li Gui played chess alone, switching between the black and white sides. The chess boxes in both hands were empty, but the game was still undecided.

Ma Rong stood outside the yard with his three children, looking at Li Gui who was sometimes in deep thought and sometimes making moves inside, without making any sound.

After a long while, Li Gui put down his last piece and sighed quietly:

"Another draw."

"Who is standing outside the courtyard?"

Ma Rong stepped forward, walked into the yard, and bowed:

"Your Highness, I am Ma Rong."

Li Gui stood up and looked outside the yard. A hint of joy suddenly appeared in his emotionless eyes.

"Ma Rong is here, come here quickly, hehe...who are these children?"

Li Gui's hand stopped in mid-air, his eyes falling on the three children who were less than 15 years old in total.

"Your Highness, these three children are orphans of Princess Taiping's mansion. My son sent them here and asked me to give you this letter."

Ma Rong brought the gifts and money for the three children, took out a letter and handed it to Li Gui solemnly.

Li Gui took the letter in his hand, squatted down, and rubbed the face of the two-year-old girl in the arms of the oldest child.

"Are they Ling Yue's children?"

"They are the children of Princess Taiping and Prince Consort Xue."

"They have been sent here. Ling Yue is probably in danger of dying. How is she now?" Li Gui asked softly.

"Counting the days, Princess Taiping has been dead for more than half a month." Ma Rong said with his head down.

"What a pity." Li Gui sighed and touched the little girl's face again.
