Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Yellow Dog Returns
In the territory of Datang, Dehua City (formerly Jiangzhou), in Chenfu.
Ye Yinfeng was lying lazily on the bed, and in front of him was the fat Taoist priest sitting on a Taishi chair, enjoying the comfort brought by the good tea. On the left side of Li Xiaoyao was the little fat man Li Congjia, who still looked sluggish and hung his head and didn't know what he was thinking, he looked at Ye Yinfeng for a while, and then looked at Li Xiaoyao for a while.
At this moment, the sky was already bright, although it was still gray. The Chen Mansion is very lively, and there are constantly locks, firecrackers, gongs and drums resounding in this Chen Mansion. The ceremony of the old lady's death was held in the Chen Mansion until the second day, and the pedestrians on the street were still busy and were not affected by the huge ceremony in the Chen Mansion.
"You said that Li Ermazi was scared to death by you." Li Xiaoyao listened to Ye Yinfeng's narration in a daze, he thought that they would have an earth-shattering battle, but he didn't expect it to be such an ending.
"Yes, I didn't expect it, this Li Ermazi is also the leader of a gangster in Dehua City, but I didn't expect to be so timid as a mouse."
Ye Yinfeng also smiled bitterly at this, he didn't expect it to be like this.
"Little Liuzi, when will you go back to Jinling, you should go back as soon as possible." Li Xiaoyao saw the appearance of the little fat man, and he looked like he hated iron but not steel, and immediately asked him.
"In a few days, the matter here is almost settled, and I have to go back to my father to give an errand."
The little fat man Li Congjia didn't seem to like going back to Jinling very much, but he didn't think it was appropriate to stay here. I hesitated for a while, and I couldn't help but feel gloomy.
"It's okay to go back, I'll go back with you then, I haven't seen the imperial brother for several years." After listening to this, Li Xiaoyao nodded and said.
"Really, that's great, and the prince won't dare to bully me then."
When Li Congjia heard that his uncle was also going back, he was overjoyed, thinking of his brother Li Hongji, his heart trembled, if Li Xiaoyao went back to Jinling with him, the situation would be much better.
"Senior brother, what about you. Stay here or come with us to Jinling. ”
Ye Yinfeng looked at the uncle and nephew and was also stunned, he heard Li Xiaoyao ask him, and then he came back to his senses.
"I don't care, I just want to find the killers of the 'Heavenly Alliance' and find out where the mastermind behind them goes. However, it may be difficult for their shadows to appear in this remote Dehua City, and some clues may be found in Jinling City. ”
Ye Yinfeng's smiling eyes shot out a sharp light, and his hands couldn't help but clench tightly. The joints of the fingers were squeaked due to the force. No matter how difficult it is, he must avenge his family. No matter how powerful the other party is, he must find the murderer of his family.
"Don't worry, Ye Shaoxia, when you go to Jinling, I will introduce you to my father, and then I can use my father's power to help you find the clues of the 'Piercing Heaven Alliance'."
When Li Congjia heard that the other party did not object to going to Jinling, he was even more overjoyed in his heart, so that he could get the help of a strong arm. Although Li Xiaoyao is on his side, he is also a member of the royal family after all, and many things cannot be done excessively, and Li Xiaoyao may not be able to stay in the palace for long. But Ye Yinfeng is different, with the title of Huainan genius, he must not be an ordinary thing, and he still has a relatively high realm in martial arts. If he gets Ye Yinfeng's full help, he will definitely not be afraid of that prince in the future.
"His Royal Highness the King of the County will stop calling me a young man in the future, just call me a word in the future." Ye Yin was very unaccustomed to the title of the king of Anding County, and he suggested to the other party.
As soon as Li Xiaoyao heard this, he fell into his arms, and the distance between the two was shortened at once.
"Hmph, you have to call me uncle when you have a relationship with his peers. It seems that I have taken advantage of the size, and I will call you Feng nephew or junior brother in the future. Li Xiaoyao screamed strangely, he thought that he had taken advantage of Ye Yinfeng.
"Fat Taoist, the matter between me and the king of the county, we will each have our own affairs, you will still be a fat Taoist priest in the future, if you don't want to, then it's okay for me to call you a fat brother."
Ye Yinfeng couldn't help but hit Li Xiaoyao again, for some reason he felt that it was very easy to get along with Li Xiaoyao like this.
Li Xiaoyao was about to be angry at Ye Yinfeng's disrespectful remarks, he stood up and stared viciously at Ye Yinfeng, who was lying lazily on the bed.
But at this moment, the door of their guest room opened silently, and a yellow dog rushed in from outside the door. There was not much yellow hair left on the yellow dog's body, but it dragged a long red tongue, and a pair of dog eyes stared at Li Xiaoyao fiercely.
The dog's eyes stared straight at the fat Taoist priest's heart, and his whole body was numb. He didn't dare to make the slightest movement in his heart, and watched the yellow dog walk towards the bed step by step.
Ye Yinfeng touched the top of the yellow dog's head, a burst of sourness surged in his heart, and he held back his tears without slipping. This old yellow dog is the yellow dog left by his third uncle Ye Ran, and the Huainan Ye family is left only with himself and this yellow dog. As if sensing the sourness in Ye Yinfeng's heart, the yellow dog lay down beside the bed with a low whimper.
"Why did your dog only appear now, and you wouldn't have appeared when something happened, so unjust."
Although Li Xiaoyao was afraid of this yellow dog, he didn't let go of the meaning of this yellow dog in his mouth, and couldn't help but joke.
Ye Yinfeng didn't notice these details at all, he once again escaped death, and his heart suddenly warmed when he saw this yellow dog, where would he care why this yellow dog was not by his side when he met the assassin. In the past, no matter what danger he encountered, this yellow dog would always stay by his side. This time it was an exception, perhaps the yellow dog sensed that this danger was different from the past, so he avoided this danger. Thankfully, he avoided it, or the only dog he was with might have died at the hands of the Assassin.
"Fat Taoist, do you need to be so careful, didn't you just steal a piece of chicken leg in your hand. If it had encountered the Assassin this time, it would have been killed, but fortunately it had avoided it early this time. ”
Ye Yinfeng was immersed in the joy of meeting the yellow dog, where could he hear the true meaning of the fat Taoist priest's words, he always thought that Li Xiaoyao was prejudiced against the yellow dog to say such a thing.
But the little fat man Li Congjia seemed to hear something, and looked at Ye Yin, who was in joy, with a puzzled expression. Then he looked at his uncle again, he didn't understand the true meaning of Li Xiaoyao's words. He wanted to ask but was stared back by a vicious look from the fat Taoist priest, and swallowed the words that had just come to his mouth.
Of course, Li Xiaoyao would not say anything to disturb the joy of this dog after meeting alone, and he reluctantly filled himself with a cup of good Longjing tea. took a sip, but now the tea was already cold, and there was no longer the fragrance of the tea, but he still poured it in one go. But there was a piece of tea in his mouth, and he chewed it unceremoniously, he felt that only in this way could he block his rising breath, which was a sour, bitter evil breath.
Chen's mansion has been noisy for a day today, with the noisy sound of guests, the sound of gongs and drums for the rituals, and the sound of the Taoist priest's chanting of scriptures.
Chen Shounian was busy today, in addition to receiving the guests who came to pay his filial piety, he also had to preside over the old lady's ceremony. Originally, there were some things that could be handled by a housekeeper, but this time it was different, after all, the dead were the greatest. Even if you are busy, it should be, otherwise if you are made by others to be unfilial, then your reputation in this life will be ruined.
No, he just had a little free time, but he was told by his subordinates that Lord Yin Cui of the Dehua City Mansion asked to see him. Although he didn't take this Dehua City Mansion Yin in his eyes on weekdays, this time according to his subordinates, he came in official clothes. Since it was a public uniform, it was a business matter, and it was not possible to see it, so I had to drag a tired body to the living room where I saw the guest.
When he came to the living room, he saw that Master Cui was dressed in official clothes like an ant on a hot pot, walking around in the living room non-stop. He did not bring officials and catchers, but came alone in official uniforms. Seeing this situation, Chen Shounian couldn't help but wonder, why did Lord Cui come here in an official uniform. Could it be that the incident of seeing the king of the county yesterday scared him stupid or something, is there something else?
"Master Chen, you can be regarded as here."
As soon as Lord Cui saw Chen Shounian's arrival, he immediately stepped forward to greet him.
"I've seen Lord Cui, but I don't know why adults came to the cold house." Chen Shounian still has the etiquette that he should have, and he hurriedly bowed his hand to Lord Cui.
"Ah, Master Chen, you're welcome. This official really has something important to do here, I don't know if Master Chen will have time. ”
"Oh, what do you command?" Since yesterday, this Lord Cui saw the king of Anding County in this mansion, his attitude towards himself has changed, although Chen Shounian does not like this Cui Mansion Yin, but he stretched out his hand not to hit the smiling person, but not to mention that the other party also put on a pitiful appearance.
"It's nothing, the official came here to ask the noble man from the imperial city in your mansion if he was okay and if he had been hurt in any way."
Master Cui looked at Chen Shounian eagerly, and at the same time, he was nervous, and he could clearly see the beads of sweat on his forehead running down his cheeks.
"Master Cui, I don't know what happened, that noble person is very good in the contemptible mansion, and there are no accidents. I don't know what Lord Cui means, is there something murderous in this Dehua City. ”
Chen Shounian didn't know what happened in the past two days, let alone that Li Ermazi was scared to death by Ye Yinfeng last night.
"It's okay, there has indeed been a murder in this Dehua city in the past two days. This morning, someone found the body of a black-clothed masked man, and at noon, someone found the body of Li Ermazi near the Tingyu Tower. It hasn't been peaceful recently, and this official is also considering the safety of the noble person who came from the imperial city, so he has come to report it. Knowing that the noble person is not harmed, this can be relieved, otherwise the black gauze hat and human head on the head of the official will not be protected. ”
It was as if a big stone had been put down in Lord Cui's heart, and the dense beads of sweat seemed to be a little less.
At this time, Chen Shounian knew that there was a murder in Dehua City, and his heart was tight, and he could only pray that this murder had nothing to do with the king of Anding. If the king of Anding County has an accident, it is not about himself, but his family will also be affected.
Lord Yin Cui of Nadehua Mansion breathed a sigh of relief and left the Chen Mansion with a happy mood.
But Chen Shounian's heart hung again, and he felt that this was a bad omen.
The death of Li Ermazi is not in his eyes yet, at most it is just a hero who eliminates harm for the people. But the appearance of the black-clothed masked man and his death made his heart feel cold, and he couldn't think of anyone in Dehua City who would be assassinated except for the person who had the status of the king of Anding.
But this black-clad masked man would be killed by someone else, which was something he couldn't understand. Maybe it was the old man next to the King of Anding, he felt that the old man must be a martial artist, and his cultivation level was definitely not low. He was wary of the man behind the black-clad masked man, and if it was sent by another country to assassinate him, it would be fine. If this is an open and secret battle between princes, then he will be in trouble, he will not help anyone, and he can't let the county king have an accident on his own territory.
"Ugh." He sighed, he didn't ask about Lord Cui's case, there were some things he could understand. It seems that Master Choi has become smart after yesterday's incident. I know what to ask, what to say, and how to keep myself out of it. Perhaps he should have seen that he had some unexplained relationship with the people in the palace, and he felt that he didn't care.
