Chapter 397: Grace and Righteousness
Gao Feng snorted angrily on the side: "It is said that women are fickle, I think this Lord Xue is not the wrong child!"
As soon as Gao Feng's words fell, He Linwan suddenly let out a cry of "wow" in his hand, and everyone present was startled by this sudden voice.
"What are you holding in your hand?" Gao Feng was so frightened that he jumped up and pointed to the swaddling clothes in He Linwan's hand.
He Linwan hurriedly patted the swaddling clothes and coaxed them lightly, and said to the few people who looked at her curiously: "Something happened just now, this is my brother." ”
As soon as Li Yu came out, he learned the news that He Linwan and Wei were taken away from his subordinates, but fortunately, when he was about to go to find someone, He Linwan came back, and he didn't have time to ask about He Linwan's experience just now, and he was also surprised that a baby suddenly appeared at this time.
"What about Mrs. He, is she okay? Are you hurt?" Li Yu looked at the child in He Linwan's hand, and then looked at He Linwan and asked.
He Linwan didn't want to mention what happened before to make Li Yu worried, so he nodded: "We're fine, since the person has been rescued, let's get out of here first, I have to send the child home, he must be hungry." ”
Li Yu knew that things were definitely not as light as He Linwan said, but he didn't say anything more in front of his subordinates, just took the child in He Linwan's hand, "I'll hug it." ”
He Linwan was indeed a little tired after hugging all the way just now, so he let go.
"Zifeng stayed to deal with the aftermath. The carriage prepared for Cui Yan over there has already been completed, Gao Feng, you send him back immediately, and I will come later. Li Yu instructed his subordinates.
Lu Zifeng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that Li Yu didn't pursue the matter of him losing people, and took the order. Gao Feng thought that the seriously injured junior brother was not in the mood to be in a bad mood, so he hurriedly answered.
Seeing that everyone had retreated, He Linwan asked in a low voice, "Have you found the edict?"
Li Yu said: "No, I left someone to continue looking." ”
He Linwan also knew that this edict that could cost a lot of lives was not so easy to find, and it was difficult to say whether it was real or nothing, so she said to Li Yu: "You go and get busy with yours, my father has left people, and I will go back with them." ”
"Wait, I'll get you a clean cloak. Li Yu frowned and pulled the coat wrapped in the child's body in disgust, his own clothes were splashed with muddy water, and there was a smell of gunpowder, which was not easy to take off for the child.
He Linwan just wanted to say that there was a carriage on it, when suddenly there was an angry roar from the direction where Gao Feng left, and then there was the sound of fighting, He Linwan immediately looked at Li Yu, "What's the matter?"
Li Yu glanced back, and was also surprised, "Cui Yan is still over there." ”
"Go over and see. He Linwan knew that Cui Yan was seriously injured now, and if something happened again, he was afraid that his life would be lost.
Li Yu didn't say anything about letting He Lin leave first, in his opinion, it was safe to stay by his side.
When Li Yu held the child with one hand and protected He Linwan with the other hand to a farmhouse at the foot of the mountain where Cui Yan was temporarily housed, he happened to see Gao Feng leading people to fight with a middle-aged man outside the courtyard.
The middle-aged man looked like a sick scholar, he didn't want to work hard but he was very good, and his moves were also ruthless, and Gao Feng had been defeated for such a short time.
"Is it him?" Li Yu seemed a little surprised when he saw the middle-aged man.
"Who is he?" asked He Linwan.
Li Yu handed over the children in his hand to He Linwan, and then protected them by his side, "Pingjiazhai is in charge." ”
The big boss pushed Gao Feng away with a palm, and gasped with a pale face: "You are not my opponent. ”
Gao Feng was about to scold his mother, but in a blink of an eye, he saw Li Yu coming, and immediately said: "Shizi, come and take down this thief with me, he just wanted to kill the defenseless little junior brother!"
Li Yu looked at the big boss of Pingjiazhai, raised his eyebrows and said, "Your Excellency, are you planning to throw yourself into the net?"
The big boss clutched his chest and coughed a few times, and his tone was even very gentle when he spoke to Li Yu, "Twenty-four is the child I taught, I have always connived at and defended my own children, the only thing I can't bear is betrayal, and some things have to be settled." ”
Li Yu raised his eyebrows and said, "Although you have taught Cui Yan for a few years, you still don't know him well enough. Believe it or not, he always remembers the kindness you gave him when you were young and the affection you gave him for a few years, although he worked for me all these years, and did collect a lot of information, but about you, the big boss, he never said a word to us. ”
The big boss seemed stunned when he heard this.
Li Yu chuckled, "As for Pingjiazhai, if I remember correctly, he rejected you when you asked him to join Pingjiazhai? Since he is not from Pingjiazhai, then there is no betrayal of Pingjiazhai." ”
The big boss was silent for a long time, and then sighed and said, "What you said also has some truth, I have to think about it......"
Li Yu smiled again, but raised his hand and gestured, "Then please stay and think about it, after all, my place is not where people come and leave whenever they want." ”
As soon as Li Yu's hand was lowered, the farmhouse was surrounded by guards who appeared out of nowhere.
At this time, the door of the farmhouse opened, and Cui Yan was helped out miserably.
He Linwan was taken aback when he saw Cui Yan's current appearance, the once radiant young man looked dying at this moment, and it was difficult for him to stand normally with almost his entire body leaning on the person who was holding him miserably, just a few steps, he walked tremblingly, as if he was enduring unimaginable pain for ordinary people.
He could see that he had changed into a clean set of clothes, but none of the exposed skin was intact except for the face, and it was conceivable how heavy the injuries were in the place covered by the clothes.
As soon as Gao Feng saw him come out, he scolded: "What are you doing when you come out!
Cui Yan opened his mouth and said something, but his voice was so weak that no one standing near him could hear what he was saying, and Cui Yan could only look at Li Yu with pleading eyes.
Li Yu sighed and asked him, "Do you want to beg me to let him go?"
Cui Yan blinked.
Gao Feng scolded him and said, "Let you fart, let him go and come back to kill you later?"
Li Yu thought about it, but said with his head bowed: "Since it is what you want, then I will let him go this time." ”
Gao Feng scolded "grass", and squatted to the side to sulk angrily.
The big boss looked at Cui Yan and didn't speak.
Li Yu said to the big boss: "Since Your Excellency wants to make a settlement, then I will make a settlement on behalf of my junior brother." I let you go today, and from now on he owes you nothing, and you don't owe him, how about not seeing each other?"
The big boss looked at Cui Yan for a while, and finally sighed and said, "That's fine." ”
The guards who had surrounded the farmhouse made a way, and the big boss clutched his chest and coughed, this time he coughed for a long time before slowly leaving.
At this moment, a dilapidated donkey cart slowly came down the path outside the farmhouse, driven by a man in a mask.
He Linwan glanced back, but froze when he saw the masked man.
