CHAPTER 40

Ye Li thought that he was going to die, he closed his eyes, and clearly felt his long sword piercing into the other party's chest, but the pain he expected did not come.

Ye Li opened his eyes suspiciously, the long sword in his hand was piercing the heart of the thief leader, and in the bright moonlight, blood could be seen flowing down his robe, while the thief leader's long sword fell to the ground, with a sharp arrow on his wrist and neck.

The whole valley was silent for a moment, and the thieves were stunned for a moment before shouting, "Big brother is dead!" Big brother let this kid kill! ā€

"Avenge the eldest brother!"

The thieves were furious, brandishing the weapons in their hands and attacking Ye Li.

Ye Li knew that someone had helped him, but he didn't have time to take a closer look, drew his sword and turned around, facing the minions. He escaped death, and opened the killing ring again, for the first time in his life, he killed a living person with his own hands, and the blood in his heart was stimulated, plus he knew that someone was secretly protecting him, and he had no fear, the long sword dragon flew and the phoenix danced, leaving a terrifying cold afterimage in the moonlight.

"Boss, this kid can do it." Someone whispered not far away.

The boss was silent, but two sharp arrows were re-attached to the bowstring in his hand. As long as it is not urgent, he does not plan to interfere, because this is a rare opportunity for Ye Li to experience, the other party will not show mercy, they are all fighting with their lives, but Ye Li's life is not in danger, because they have been ordered by the master to bring him back with all his beards and tails.

The other party fought with his life, and Ye Li was also unceremonious, he almost died here, and he would never see his mother and sister again, he hated these thieves, and what the long sword pointed at was all crucial.

These minions are very ordinary, without the head of the thief, they are far from Ye Li's opponents, seeing that they fell one after another, someone shouted unhurriedly: "Shizi, leave a few alive." ā€

This voice was quite familiar, Ye Li knew that this was the person who had saved him just now, and the long sword avoided the vital point and knocked down the remaining few thieves, so he looked at where the voice came from.

"Zheng Han, it's you!" Ye Li, who came to know, was the chief of the guard of the Yuwang Mansion, in his thirties, with excellent skills, he had never won a battle with Zheng Han, but he didn't expect that it was he who secretly saved him just now. Ye Li looked at the two sharp arrows on Zheng Han's bowstring, and the admiration in his heart arose, Zheng Han could shoot two arrows at the same time, and it was so accurate, one arrow hit the wrist of the thief leader, and one arrow hit the thief leader's neck.

Zheng Han put away his bow and arrows, walked over to avoid the corpses on the ground, saw that Ye Li was also slightly injured, and said with a smile: "Shizi, I'm sorry for hurting you." "As long as there is no missing arm or leg, even if he has all the beards and tails, he has completed the master's orders.

"It's a little bit of an injury." Ye Li gave a deep salute, "Thank you to Chief Zheng for saving your life." ā€

Zheng Han patted him on the shoulder, "Okay, I'm here on the order of the prince, if you want to thank the prince, thank the prince." ā€

"How did King Yu know that I was here?" Ye Li was puzzled, he came all the way, these people came in such a timely manner, could it be that King Yu predicted this matter in advance?

"Well, you'd better go back and ask the prince in person." Zheng Han sent a few of his subordinates to tie up the living thieves, leaving two people to guard the scene, giving Ye Li an empty horse, and several people took advantage of the moonlight to return to the Yuwang Mansion.

King Yu's face sank like water, in his previous life, when he met Qianqian, Ye Li was already dead, and he didn't know what happened, but the second room of the Hou Mansion attacked the title, according to his experience, whoever got the biggest benefit could be the mastermind behind the scenes, not to mention that this time it was found out that Meng was not sick but poisoned. He didn't know when Ye Chengxun planned to kill Ye Li, so he simply sent someone to keep an eye on Ye Chengxun.

Unexpectedly, Ye Chengxun was so bold as to hire a murderer. He didn't know if there was such an incident in his previous life, Ye Li escaped the assassination, or if Ye Li died in this assassination in his previous life, but it happened in advance in this life.

Seeing Ye Li walk in, King Yu grabbed the horsewhip and wanted to whip him, but seeing that he was covered in blood and wounded, he put the horsewhip down again, and angrily pointed at Ye Li with his slender fingers like white jade.

For some reason, seeing such an angry King Yu, Ye Li was inexplicably a little weak-hearted.

"Do you know it's wrong?" You can't beat him, you can still scold, King Yu's dark phoenix eyes looked at him coldly.

"Uh, I—I'm too impulsive, and I fell for someone else's fool, but that person didn't have any flaws at all, and that jade pendant was really worn by my father when he disappeared!" Ye Li also knew that he had been deceived, but thinking of that jade pendant, he became excited again, "Even if that person is lying to me, he must know the news of my father!" ā€

He still didn't understand what he was wrong, King Yu glared at him, "Let me ask you, if you go to a certain place to find the prefect's son, do you directly ask people everywhere on the street if they have seen the prefect's son, or go directly to the prefect's mansion?" ā€

"Naturally, it's going to the prefect's mansion, isn't it too stupid to look for it on the street......" Ye Li didn't finish speaking, and he understood, when he came to Kyoto to find Jiping Houzi, he should go to Jiping Houfu, how could he look for himself indiscriminately on the street, the person who deceived him was not seamless, but he didn't notice it at the time.

"I'll ask you again," King Yu looked ashamed of Ye Li's face, and his tone softened slightly, "You should know how far away the Baique Mountain is, it will take a long time to ride a horse, and you have to cross the valley in the middle, it is impossible to take a car, that person looks tired?" ā€

"No, the man is in good spirits." Ye Li's head was lowered, he was so stupid, he could have avoided it, if it wasn't for King Yu sending someone to save him, he would have died in a daze, and he didn't know how sad his mother and sister were.

King Yu saw that he knew that he was wrong, and his voice became softer, "Even if what the man said is true, the father-in-law is in an urgent situation, and you can go over in a hurry, but at that time, you should call the little servant you came with you and ask him to go back to the house to tell his mother-in-law, and let his mother-in-law send someone to rush over, and the guards and doctors will follow him, isn't it better than you going over yourself?" ā€

Ye Li's face was red, he had read so many tactics in the art of war, but he really encountered things but handled them in a mess.

King Yu took a deep look at him, he was reliving a life, and he had experienced too many things, so he could naturally understand that Ye Li was still young, and it was not easy to survive until now, "Bandage the wound first, eat something, and then talk." He beckoned, and the deer doctor, who was already waiting at the door with a medicine box, ran in and stopped in front of Ye Li with a smile, "Shizi, please." ā€

King Yu looked at Lu Yizheng with an excited face amusedly, he was not sick or injured all year round, but he was suffocated.

Ye Li's body was slightly injured, and the deer doctor gave him medicine quite regretfully, and carefully checked his pulse, making sure that Ye Li was in excellent health and did not need his treatment at all, so he left with the medicine box in despair.

Ye Li was the same age as King Yu and about the same size, so he changed into King Yu's homely robe and went to eat outside.

King Yu had already had dinner, but he was just accompanying Ye Li. There was japonica rice on the table, the dishes were rich, Ye Li looked at it at a glance, but his stomach suddenly surged, braised fish, slippery chicken, all the meat reminded him of a scene in the valley, the long sword pierced into the meat, the blood flowed out, and the meat at the wound rolled open......

King Yu understood as soon as he saw his face, and beckoned people to remove all the meat dishes, "It's okay, it'll be fine in a few days." "The first time you kill someone, it's definitely not going to be comfortable, it's anyone.

Ye Li endured it, ate some tender cabbage sum, smooth tofu, and put down his chopsticks when a bowl of japonica rice was used up.

King Yu didn't force him to use more, and said, "Ah Li stays here tonight, and the two of us will discuss how to deal with the follow-up matters." Ye Li also had this intention, the two of them did not go to the study, but went to the guest house where Ye Li lived in the Yuwang Mansion.

"Please also ask Your Highness to send someone to the Hou Mansion to talk to my mother and Qianqian." After an exhausting fight, Ye Li's body was a little unbearable, and he leaned on the back of the chair.

King Yu nodded, "Don't worry, I have already sent someone, just say that Ah Li stays with me, and he won't go back tonight." ā€

Ye Li glanced at him gratefully, he was really thoughtful and meticulous, not only sent someone to save him, but even comforted his mother and sister. "By the way, how did Your Highness know that I went to White Bird Mountain?" This question has been in his heart since he met Zheng Han, and from the perspective of time, Zheng Han should not arrive so quickly, unless King Yu predicted this matter in advance.

It is naturally impossible for King Yu to tell him that he is reborn, because he knows that he will die early, and because he doesn't want his little princess to become an orphan girl, so he has been paying attention to every move of the Hou Mansion. "My subordinates stumbled upon Ye Chengxun's contact with the killer, and they felt that something was wrong, so they told me. I was worried that they would be unfavorable to Qianqian, so I simply sent someone to keep an eye on Ye Chengxun and those killers, those killers made some arrangements in the valley, and I sent Zheng Han over, and I waited for you. ā€

Ye Li stood up and gave a solemn salute, "Thank you, Your Highness, for saving your life." No matter how coincidental it was, he did save his life so that he could still be with his mother and sister.

"Okay, sit down, tired like this, there are more courtesies, we are not outsiders, we don't need to pay attention to these." King Yu got up and pressed him to the chair, "I don't think you're surprised at all, could it be that you guessed that it was Ye Chengxun?" What do you want to do next? ā€

Ye Li nodded, "Don't hide it from Your Highness, since I read some books and slowly became sensible, I knew what a brother's wall is, and I began to have questions about my father's disappearance back then." I have seen the tablets of my grandfather and grandmother in the ancestral hall, and I know that the old lady is the continuation of my grandfather, not my father's biological mother, I have always suspected that the old lady and the second and third rooms partnered to kill my father, but for so many years, they have not moved, I was a little shaken, I felt that I was mistaken. But at this moment, Mama Feng, who was sent by His Royal Highness, found out about my mother's poisoning again, and now I am even more convinced that they were the ones who killed my father back then, and if their target is a knighthood, they will definitely attack me. ā€

So when he encountered an assassination, the first thing he suspected was the second room and the third room, Ye Li paused, "What's more, this time, in order to lure me into being fooled, they took out the jade pendant that my father wore when he disappeared, and the jade pendant still has the words I engraved on it, and there will definitely be no fake." "This jade pendant is in Ye Chengxun's hands, which shows that his father's disappearance was directly related to Ye Chengxun.

King Yu nodded, if it wasn't for rebirth, Ye Li would be much more powerful than him, in his previous life, when he was fourteen years old, he was really an arrogant and domineering prince, except for eating, drinking, and having fun, he didn't understand anything, until something happened to his mother's Ningyu Palace, and the mother concubine was also ill until she died, he suddenly woke up and understood what was going on with his "most favored" prince.

"Since it is the hand of the second room of the Hou Mansion, is Ah Li planning to be public or private?"

"Naturally, it's public, this time, I'm going to report to the official!" Ye Li was categorical, his mother was poisoned, because the person who did it was an old lady, even if he reported to the official, he would be detained as a big unfilial hat, but the person who assassinated him this time was the second uncle, but he had no concerns about this, besides, Ye Chenghun also killed his father, and he must not be let go!
