Traveling through troubled times, he fled with his stepson

There was never a moment when Huo Xiuwen wanted to kill his second-in-command.

The second in command was so angry that he murmured and shut his mouth. He looked at the first in command under the bed with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and then looked at the person sitting on the bed. He realized belatedly that their Jiguanshan might be completely wiped out.

The people following the second in command looked at each other in bewilderment. The hope that had just risen up because of the second in command's words was shattered into thin air at this moment.

"Who are you? What do you want to do?"

Huo Xiuwen didn't care about losing face in front of his brothers and shouted loudly.

Second in command: "Exactly, who are you, and what do you want to do by arresting us?"

Huo Xiuwen: “…”

"Shut up!"

These two people were like funny creatures, and Dai Jiangong who came in behind them burst out laughing.

Li Yuan signaled his swords to use the sword rain to push all these people out.

Finally, he bent down and pulled Huo Xiuwen out from under the bed.

Huo Xiuwen who came out didn't understand what Li Yuan was going to do.

"what is it call?"

"The boss of Jiguan Mountain." Huo Xiuwen replied.

Li Yuan remained calm, carried Huo Xiuwen on his back, and then tightened the rope around his wrists.

"It hurts..."

"Huo Xiuwen, the Xiuwen who has mastered the world's literature!"

"You bastard, you already know my name, and yet you're asking!"

Huo Xiuwen was simply impressed by this moody man. He had just finished telling his life story, so what was he asking?

"I'm reminding you to answer honestly later." Dai Jiangong said gloatingly.

After spending some time with Li Yuan, I have begun to understand what he means.

"Then why don't you ask me? If you don't ask me now, I won't have the chance to tell you. My hands are numb and I have no feeling anymore!!"

Huo Xiuwen shouted. He could see that these people did not want to kill them, otherwise those fools like the second in command would not have come to him alive.

He won't be killed, but his hand might really be disabled.

“How many people are there in Jiguanshan?”

"One thousand two hundred and sixty people, including the women who cook and clean up and other brothers, a total of one thousand three hundred people!"

Li Yuan raised his eyebrows, not expecting so much.

Dai Jiangong couldn't help but laugh when he saw Li Yuan looking at him. Yesterday, he brought the younger boy into the kitchen and put drugs and laxatives in everything.

All those who drank and ate last night were infected, and those who didn't faint were outnumbered because of their numbers.

"Which official in Chenzhou, Yizhou, are you connected with?"

Huo Xiuwen hesitated for a moment. He didn't know what Li Yuan wanted to do.

After a moment of hesitation, Li Yuan tightened the rope again, causing Huo Xiuwen to curse and speak quickly.

"Yizhou, Jiang Ling, the captain of Yizhou."

Hearing this name, Li Yuan blinked unconsciously a few times.

"What's the latest news?"

"There hasn't been much news recently. The last time was when he said Yizhou was going to be in chaos. He wouldn't contact me during this period and would contact me again after a while."

Yizhou is going to be in turmoil? Li Yuan frowned unconsciously when he heard this.

"What was the deal between you and him?"

"I give him money and he gives me information. You can't do anything to Jiang Ling. I've spent a fortune to support him."

Jiang Ling was very important to Huo Xiuwen. If he hadn't provided information, he and his brothers on Jiguan Mountain would have died countless times.

"How much did you give him?"

Huo Xiuwen thought for a moment and asked, "Do you mean the total or..."

"How much did you give him the last time?"

"The last time was about half a year ago. I gave him about 1,000 taels."

Dai Jiangong's eyes widened. How much? ? ! !

What the hell is one thousand taels?

"Oh, this one thousand taels is a one-time payment. He said he wanted to get some information. Based on the importance of the information, I am planning to give it to him."

Hearing this, not only Dai Jiangong, but even Li Yuan was a little surprised.

"you……"

Huo Xiuwen smiled bitterly, "You may think I am a sucker, but a big reward will bring a brave man. If he provides us with information, we can reduce a lot of losses and lose fewer brothers. This is a good deal for us."

After Li Yuan asked what he wanted to ask, he fell silent.

Yizhou and Xuanzhou are similar, and perhaps the tragic massacre of their family in Chenzhou was also similar.

There was an invisible force that planned to take over Chenzhou eight or nine years ago, and used similar tactics to deal with Yizhou and Xuanzhou successively.

This means that there are countless cities that have silently become the domain of unknown forces.

"Um... can one of you help me untie it first? My hand is really about to break." Huo Xiuwen squirmed on the ground for a few times, then tried to move his fingers to make himself felt.

Dai Jiangong stepped forward and untied the restraints on his wrists.

Huo Xiuwen blew lightly on his wrists. It must be said that the knot was quite severe. There was a circle of purple-black marks on each wrist. It felt like if it had been a little later, these two hands would have been disabled.

"What a dark heart..." He said, unable to control his mouth.

Dai Jiangong slapped Huo Xiuwen on the back of his shoulder and said, "Don't talk nonsense."

Brought back to his senses by their movement, Li Yuan looked at Huo Xiuwen.

He whispered the purpose of this.

"Huo Xiuwen, I'll give you two choices. First, give me Jiguanshan, and I'll recruit all your men. From now on, I'll be your leader."

This time it was Huo Xiuwen's turn to open his eyes wide and open his mouth to curse, but Dai Jiangong covered his mouth with a cloth again from behind.

"Second, you and your 1,300 men will all die."

When he said this, Li Yuan's expression did not change, and his tone was so calm that Huo Xiuwen thought they were discussing what to eat today.

He met Li Yuan's serious gaze. He could feel the seriousness in the gaze and had no doubt about it at all.

"Woo..."

He wanted to say something, but made a humming sound instead. Li Yuan signaled Dai Jiangong to let go.

Dai Jiangong let go after receiving the order.

Huo Xiuwen supported himself on the ground with his hands and said unwillingly: "There is nothing else. I can find a way to get you whatever you want."

Li Yuan didn't say anything.

Huo Xiuwen's heart sank, and then he lowered his head.

Dai Jiangong knew that it would be difficult for him to accept it, so he thought he was convincing himself.

Just as he was about to look away, Huo Xiuwen, who was lying on the ground, suddenly pounced towards Li Yuan, and the cold blade that appeared in his hand stabbed straight at Li Yuan.

"master--"

Dai Jiangong shouted, but he had no time to get over there.

boom!

Huo Xiuwen was kicked away like a piece of rag and fell three meters away. He just struggled to get up and vomited a mouthful of blood foam.

"If you don't eat the toast, you will be punished with a drink."

Li Yuan retracted his foot, his face cold.

Then he ordered Dai Jiangong: "Kill the second in command and his women who were just brought in from outside."

Now it was Dai Jiangong's turn to be dumbfounded: "Ah? Killed?"

After being looked at by Li Yuan, Dai Jiangong immediately retracted his expression and walked out.

Huo Xiuwen struggled, but his upper body was severely injured and he couldn't get up no matter what. His lower body was still tied up and he couldn't move at all.

"I promise, I promise to be the first one!!"

"Boss, I, Daniu, will follow you in the next life—"

Before he could finish his words, he stopped abruptly.

Huo Xiuwen had never felt so desperate before. Hearing the voice of his brother who had been following him, he glared at Li Yuan angrily.

Before his resentment could be expressed, he heard a mixed bag of women's voices.

"I promise, I really promise, don't kill them!!"
