The little sister is a troublemaker
Chapter 62 Assassination
Li Xi stared blankly at the direction where Huo Yuanruo left. When he reacted, his pupils dilated instantly. He didn't care about Huo Yuanruo's instructions at all and ran back like crazy.
On the other side, Qingyu came to Li Mulan in a hurry.
Li Mulan opened the door and looked at Qingyu in surprise, "Sister? What's the matter so late?" She was ready to go to bed.
"Uncle Zhang is here and said he has something important to discuss with you."
Li Mulan's expression froze, she put on her coat and went out.
Zhang Yi was wearing a grey gown and looked weather-beaten. It was obvious that he had been on the road and his face was filled with fatigue.
"Uncle Zhang!"
Zhang Yi saw Li Mulan and stepped forward, "Master."
Li Mulan helped him up and asked nervously, "What happened? Why are you here?"
Zhang Yi didn't say much, and directly handed him the letter, "This is a letter from Alliance Leader Situ to you. He was supposed to come here himself, but was delayed by something urgent. After the letter came to me, I didn't dare to waste time and delivered it personally."
Li Mulan was horrified after reading the letter, "Someone from the Killer Alliance? Damn it."
Li Mulan did not delay and left the inn with Qingyu. At this time, the city gate was also closed, and Qingyu used Qinggong to lead Li Mulan out of the city.
At this time in the Li family, the two groups were fighting fiercely, and all the Li family members hid in Li Cong's house.
"Dad, what is going on? Why would someone come to assassinate me?" Li Yi's face was full of anxiety.
Zhang's body trembled constantly, "Xi'er, Xi'er is not in the room, and I don't know where she went."
Li Cong's face was gloomy, as if he had thought of something, but he didn't say a word.
Li Xun was always focused on the situation outside. "Whose people are these people protecting us?"
Li Cong sighed and closed his eyes.
Li Xun was anxious, "Dad!"
"It should be the regent's man."
"The Regent?" Li Xun was shocked. His father had been lying in bed for several years. When did he get in touch with the Regent? That letter?
When Huo Yuanruo arrived, he saw that the two groups were fighting fiercely. He was a little confused. Who were the enemies and who were the friends? Oh, never mind. He went straight to Li Cong's house and kicked away anyone who blocked his way.
The door was suddenly kicked open from the outside. Everyone in the room was startled, but they were relieved when they saw who was coming. "Yuan Ruo? Why are you here?"
Huo Yuanruo checked on several people one by one, "Are you all okay?"
Li Xun said, "It's okay, why are you here?"
Huo Yuanruo scratched his head and said, "I happened to be nearby." Then he looked into the yard and said, "Second Uncle, what...what's going on?"
Li Xun shook his head. "We don't know either. A group of men in black suddenly broke into the yard and tried to attack us. Then another group of men in black rushed out, seemingly to protect us."
Huo Yuanruo was a little confused, "It's so dark here, I don't know which side to help."
Suddenly, several long arrows came whistling, Huo Yuanruo's expression changed, and he swung his long sword, cutting off all the arrows. He stared at the people outside, "Where did you come from, you dare to sneak attack me? You haven't heard of my name, Huo Dadao, right? Then I will let you see how powerful I am today."
Huo Yuanruo used his Qinggong skills to fly out in the direction of the arrow. Soon, the several men in black hiding in the dark were all knocked down by Huo Yuanruo.
One of the leaders of the men in black sensed something was wrong when he heard what Huo Yuanruo said, and he quickly gave the signal to retreat.
Looking at the retreating man in black, Huo Yuanruo did not chase after him. After all, he was worried about the other members of the Li family.
Walking into the courtyard, he looked at the corpse on the ground, kicked it angrily, and looked at another group of men in black, "Who are you?"
One of the leaders bowed slightly to Huo Yuanruo and said, "We are following the master's orders to protect the Li family."
"Who is your master?" Li Xuncong came out of the house.
The men in black stopped talking. A dozen people stood neatly in the yard, not moving.
Huo Yuanruo frowned, and suddenly remembered Xing Er, who had fought with him in Baihua Tower, and was also so taciturn, like a wooden stake.
"Father! Mother!"
Li Xi ran back panting, and when he saw the situation in the yard, he was so scared that he fell to the ground.
Huo Yuanruo clicked his tongue twice, stepped forward and pulled the man up, "Didn't I tell you to hide? Who told you to come back?"
"I...I'm worried about my family."
“Xi’er!” Zhang rushed out of the house and burst into tears when she saw Li Xi was fine. “It’s good that you’re okay, it’s good that you’re okay. You… scared me to death.”
The surrounding villagers all noticed the noise, but no one came over. They were all ordinary people, and any comeout would be courting death.
By the time the other members of the Li family realized something was wrong and rushed over, it was already over.
Li Xun didn't expect that the first person to come was his fourth uncle, a serious and unsmiling man on weekdays, but at this moment he was holding a hoe in his hand and his clothes were untidy, which made people feel... somewhat moved.
“What… is going on?”
"Fourth Uncle," he said, and then looked at the other cousins and brothers who also rushed over with tools, "This...ah, we don't know either."
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment.
Suddenly, two figures fell from the sky. They were Qingyu and Li Mulan who had come all the way.
"Little uncle!"
"Lan'er!"
Li Mulan first stepped forward and held Zhang's hand, then looked at everyone in the Li family, "Are you injured?"
Li Yi shook his head. "No, fortunately there is..." He looked at the man in black who had not left the courtyard yet. "Yuan Ruo is still here. We are all fine. Why are you here?"
Li Mulan breathed a sigh of relief and patted the back of Zhang's hand in a soothing manner, "I just received an urgent letter saying that the imperial edict from Kyoto was hijacked and the people who delivered it were all killed."
Everyone was shocked, "How could it be?"
"No matter what the reason is, someone must not want you to go back. I was afraid something might happen to you, so I rushed here overnight."
Li Huan's hand holding the hoe was shaking, "This..." Then he looked at Li Cong's house, "Oh." In the end, he said nothing.
Li Xun looked at his uncles, "Second uncle, third uncle, fourth uncle, fifth uncle, and all the brothers, thank you all for today. Why don't you go back first, and we...will clarify things first and then tell you."
Li Liang waved his hand, glanced at Li Cong's house, and left with a hoe.
Seeing this, the others also left.
Huo Yuanruo explained what he had just seen to Li Mulan. Li Mulan looked at the group of men in black and asked, "Will you all stay here? Is there anything else?"
"Protect the Li family."
"Then your master..."
"Being there soon."
Li Mulan's eyes lit up, and she looked at Li Yi and the others, "This brother means that your master is on the way."
"Yes."
Li Xun's mind was in a state of confusion. Li Cong just said that these people might be the regent's men, and the regent was indeed in Xiangyun City at the moment. Would this prince really come? Why? What else in the Li family could he be interested in?
