Imperial henchmen? Never been struck by the sword of the Six Doors (a secret police agency).

Late at night, on the outskirts of the city.

"What..." The warrior who delivered the message only saw the moonlight. The moonlight was very bright. Whose headless body was it?

"Was it me...?" With this thought, the warrior who delivered the message completely lost consciousness.

Li Wu didn't even glance at the headless corpse. He walked straight forward, rummaged through the body for letters, and then a glint of light appeared in his eyes.

"As expected..." Li Wu murmured softly, looking at the words "military formation training" on the letter.

"But how should this scene be arranged?" Li Wu looked at the scene and muttered to himself with some difficulty.

The Li family intended to send a team, but after thinking it over, they decided against it and sent Li Wu alone instead.

Li Wu can advance or retreat at will, and the only person the Li family needs to protect is Li Junsu, so it's actually better for Li Wu to be alone.

After all, there are garrisons in the suburbs, and there are enough men. The Chu family has powerful backers, and the Li family also has its trump cards.

Unlike the Lin family, who rely entirely on the garrison for security, they allow Li Junsu to pursue his ideas, and even if he fails, all they care about is Li Junsu's safety.

But they forgot one thing... Li Wu was rather clueless about these things; he was just the guardian of the library.

"Forget it, let's go find the young master first." Li Wu threw the corpse into the bushes and helplessly used his lightness skill.

......

The Li family's courtyard.

"Young Master?" Li Wu climbed over the wall and looked at Li Junsu practicing his sword under the moonlight, speaking with some surprise.

"Uncle Wu?" Li Junsu looked at Li Wu climbing over the wall and responded with some surprise.

The fact that the Li family sent Li Wu surprised Li Junsu. As a member of the clan, he felt a slight threat from Li Wu, which meant that Li Wu's strength was definitely above his own.

And it's much higher.

"I didn't expect my family to care about me so much." After the surprise, Li Junsu chuckled to himself.

"Young Master, I've intercepted the messenger. What's the next step?" Li Wu asked. Since the patriarch had said he would follow the young master, he only needed to obey orders. There was no need for him to do anything unnecessary.

"Wu Bo, go catch the monster first, let it gnaw on the corpse, leave the letter on the corpse, and then you don't need to worry about it anymore." Li Junsu replied immediately and methodically.

"Yes, sir." Li Wu said, then climbed over the wall and left.

"Wu Bo is clever; swaggering around outside the gate will inevitably arouse suspicion," Li Junsu thought with a smile as he walked out of the courtyard.

Of course, it doesn't matter if they are suspected. The two Chu family members are now irreconcilable. Li Junsu never expected that the rift between them was so great. He only pushed lightly, and the whole wall collapsed on its own.

In his opinion, although their brotherhood was superficial, it shouldn't be this superficial.

"Power is a powerful force," Li Junsu shook his head and smiled.

"Li Changchun." Then, Li Junsu called out softly as he walked into Li Changchun's courtyard.

"Young Master, did you call me?" Li Junsu had barely finished speaking when Li Changchun, dressed in his undergarments, opened the door.

"Yes, the grand show is about to begin," Li Junsu said with a smile.

"Good morning, young master." Upon hearing this, Li Changchun immediately turned around and went into the house, saying as he went, afraid that he would be late.

......

hall.

"Young Master, what do you need me to prepare?" Li Changchun, dressed impeccably, looked at Li Junsu, who was sitting at the head of the table.

"You let..." Li Junsu tapped the table lightly with his fingers, then rhythmically tapped the table while casually describing the plan.

"Understood, young master." Li Changchun nodded, suppressing his excitement.

"Go ahead, tonight's going to be a lively night." Li Junsu's eyes held an uncertain expression.

Upon hearing this, Li Changchun went to make preparations.

........

Suburbs, woods.

"Lord Wu." Li Changchun bowed to Li Wu.

"It's all set up." Li Wu looked at the mangled corpse.

"Leave the rest to me, Lord Wu. You've worked hard. There are freshly cooked dishes in the banquet hall," Li Changchun said respectfully.

"Have the kitchen prepare more wine," Li Wu said, pausing in his steps.

"Yes," Li Changchun replied.

"Go ahead." Then, Li Changchun looked at the somewhat disheveled middle-aged man.

.......

The Lin family's residence, outside the main gate.

"You said you have something to discuss with our patriarch?" Da Niu looked at a somewhat disheveled middle-aged man.

"Yes, it's urgent!" The middle-aged man nodded hurriedly.

"Wait a minute." Upon hearing this, Da Niu turned and walked into the house.

......

Inside the Chu Yi's room.

"What is it?" Chu Yi, who had been woken up, still looked at Pin'er with a gentle expression.

"Master, someone outside said they have something urgent to discuss with you," Pin'er said softly.

"Let him in." Upon hearing this, Chu Yi's eyes flashed with a hint of annoyance. What urgent matter could a bunch of peasants have? But in order to show off, he still answered patiently.

.......

hall.

"You said you had something urgent to discuss with me. What is it?" Chu Yi asked the middle-aged man gently.

"Young Master Chu, when everyone was out drinking tonight..." The middle-aged man's words almost made Chu Yi blush.

Tonight, someone suddenly started clamoring for roast chicken and liquor. Chu Yi was about to say something when he stepped out the door and saw the noisy crowd. In order to keep them from leaving, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and set up a large banquet.

That was enough to stop them from making a scene.

"I was just thinking of going to the woods to hunt some wild game, but I didn't expect..." Chu Yi came back to his senses, and hearing the last sentence and the middle-aged man swallowing his saliva, he was aroused with a bit of curiosity.

"Didn't expect anything?" Chu Yi straightened his posture.

“Young Master Chu, here…” The middle-aged man looked at Pin’er and the other maids and gently shook his head.

"You may all leave," Chu Yi said, waving his hand.

"Master..." Upon hearing this, Pin'er glanced at Chu Yi with some concern.

"It's alright, go down." Chu Yi waved his hand.

After the maids left.

"Can you tell me now?" Chu Yi looked at the middle-aged man.

“Young Master Chu, I saw a body in the woods,” the middle-aged man said softly.

"Oh? And then?" Chu Yi's eyes flashed with thought upon hearing this, but he said it casually.

“I can’t read, but I saw similar characters on the token as on the carriage at noon.” The middle-aged man swallowed and whispered.

"What did you say... Take me there quickly, that's someone from our Chu family." Upon hearing this, Chu Yi suddenly stood up, looked at the startled middle-aged man, and changed his tone to speak gently.

"Yes, I came here to take you there, Young Master Chu." The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief and nodded repeatedly.

"Let's go quickly." Chu Yi pulled the middle-aged man along.

"Young Master Chu, is it just the two of us?" the middle-aged man asked.

"Pin'er, prepare the carriage." Chu Yi came back to his senses, hesitated for a moment, but decided to take only Pin'er with him.

Chu Dali wouldn't be foolish enough to set a trap to ambush him now. It's very likely that someone from the main family is coming from the woods, and he has to intercept this message.

He's gambling, but if he didn't even have that much guts, he wouldn't need to fight for power and profit.

......

树林

"I made the right bet." Chu Yi murmured to himself, looking at the corpse that could barely be called human and the token flying in the distance.

"Let's go." Chu Yi got off the carriage and picked up the slightly damaged envelope stained with blood.

"Young Master Chu, look at me..." At this moment, the middle-aged man stepped forward with a fawning expression, hesitating to speak.

"Thank you for your trouble. I'll get the money for you when I get back." Chu Yi looked at the middle-aged man, his eyes filled with uncertain emotions, before speaking gently.

"Thank you, Young Master Chu," the middle-aged man said, bowing and scraping.

......

The Chu family home, outside the courtyard.

"Have someone take care of him," Chu Yi instructed Pin'er before entering the room.

"Yes, Master." Pin'er immediately replied.

"Thank you for your hard work." Chu Yi looked at Pin'er and said gently.

"It's no trouble at all for the sake of the family head," Pin'er replied, blushing.

......

In the room

"We can't delay any longer." Chu Yi unfolded the letter, read its contents, and his eyes flashed with fervor.

[Intensify training; once the army formation is complete, wipe out the Li family's garrison and enter the city.]

That short sentence drove Chu Yi mad.
