Chapter 63: The North Gate Pass and Chu's Death (6)
Wu Feng explained the situation to everyone, but he concealed the matter of the halberd. If only Li Tiannuo was there, he would naturally drag it all out. But now that Li Tiancheng was present, and the matter had not yet been clarified, he chose to keep it after weighing the pros and cons.
Li Tiancheng's eyes drooped, and he asked seemingly indifferently: "I remember that the 'Dark Night Domain' of the Wu Commander is treacherous and changeable, and if you are trapped in it, ordinary people will not be able to escape. Could this Qin Han be very human, able to break through this domain?" The "ordinary people" he said referred to people who cultivated below the Heavenly Realm, because in the eyes of people in their realm, the peak of the Earth Realm was not much different from Li Xiaohu, and they were no different from ordinary people.
Wu Feng's heart froze, and then he said quietly: "Back to Your Majesty, although Qin Han's cultivation has not reached the Heavenly Realm, it seems that he has taken an elixir that stimulates the meridians, and his body is burning with golden flames. ”
"Oh?" Li Tiancheng's eyes flashed, and he didn't ask any further, but turned to Zhao Shen, the general of the Black Soul Guard, and ordered, "Spread my word, and all states and counties will arrest Qin Han." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty. Zhao Shen was ordered to leave.
Perhaps for Li Xiaohu, Qin Han's life or death is not important, he is more worried about the safety of the people in the wind hunting office. Finally finished talking about business, Li Tiancheng announced that he would return to the city. Li Xiaohu didn't have time to go back to the palace to change his clothes, so he rode rhubarb straight to the wind catcher.
As soon as I entered the courtyard, I smelled a strong smell of medicine. Seeing Li Xiaohu's safe return, everyone dragged their bandaged arms and legs forward to greet him.
"Little Prince......" Li Xuan's pale face showed a smile.
"Hurt?"
"A little skin trauma. ”
"What's the situation?" In fact, seeing the appearance of everyone, Li Xiaohu knew it, but he still asked with concern.
"A dozen brothers died, and all the rest were wounded, either slightly or severely. ”
"What about the charter and Wang Chao?" Li Xiaohu felt a little uneasy.
Li Xuan took a breath and said sadly: "The charter guards the remains of the brothers in the house. He only said the charter and did not mention Wang Chao. Li Xiaohu knew in his heart that Wang Chao was afraid that he would be among the dozen or so brothers who died.
Walking into the house, I saw a body covered with a white cloth on display in the house. Charters were kneeling next to a corpse. Li Xiaohu walked up to him and stopped. He glanced up and shouted in a deep voice, "Little Lord." ”
Li Xiaohu ignored him, squatted down and lifted the corner of the white cloth. Under the white cloth, it was really Wang Chao, and what made Li Xiaohu angry was that Wang Chao's body was separated from his head and neck, and his face was dirty - blood mixed with mud left marks on his face.
"Qin Han!" Li Xiaohu gritted his teeth. Then he grabbed the collar of the charter with his hand and asked, "Why did you betray the Wind Catcher! Did you already know that there would be an ambush today, and you will be responsible for the death of the brothers!"
"I have nothing to say, please give me a death. "The charter makes no excuses.
If he repented and begged for mercy in pain, or even argued to the death, Li Xiaohu could still punch him. Now he looks like he sees through life and death, which makes Li Xiaohu helpless and uncomfortable.
Li Xiaohu wanted to say "If you want to die, I will fulfill you", but remembered Wang Chao's last request to him, so he suppressed his emotions and said: "You go, leave the wind catcher...... Remember that your life was given by Wang Chao. ”
The charter still knelt there motionless, "Let's go!" Li Xiaohu roared, then took a deep breath and said in a calm tone, "Xiao Wang will bury the brothers well." ”
The charter slowly got up and walked to the door. Out of the gate, he knelt on the ground and bowed three times to the house before leaving.
"Little Lord!" Li Xuan said anxiously, "It is very likely that the charter knows the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes. He put the little prince and the princess in danger, and killed Wang Chao and other brothers. You can't just let him go!"
"That's it. Li Xiaohu sighed, "He saved Xiao Wang's life under Qin Han's knife." And also...... Perhaps it was Xiao Wang who promised Wang Chao to spare his life, so Wang Chao would desperately stop Qin Han and win a glimmer of life for Xiao Wang and Li Muya. ”
Hearing this, Li Xuan stopped talking. After a moment of silence, Li Xiaohu said: "You stay at the wind chasing place to comfort the families of the dead brothers, and Xiao Wang will come back to the palace to change his clothes." ”
Li Xiaohu's robe was torn and did not cover his body, and his underwear was even more wet on his body, which was very uncomfortable. The current wind hunting place really has no conditions to bathe and change clothes for him, so he has to go back to the Wei Palace.
"Yes. Little prince don't have to worry, leave everything to me. Li Xuan said with relief.
Li Xiaohu returned to the palace, took a quick shower, and changed his clothes. Seeing that her little prince looked hurried, the maid of the guard didn't dare to ask more, and silently did her best for him. When he walked out of the palace again, even the damp long hair of Rhubarb was taken care of dry and fluffy, which must be the skill of cultivating the fire system Gong Fa Fu Wei.
"Good work, big brothers. ”
"Don't dare, it's our duty to serve His Royal Highness. ”
Just when Li Xiaohu was about to rush back to the wind catcher, he ran into Li Tiannuo, who had just returned from the palace.
"Father. Li Xiaohu stepped forward to greet him.
"To the windcatcher?"
"Yes, the aftermath of the fallen brethren is to be dealt with. ”
"What about the casualties?"
Seventeen brothers were lost. ”
"Let the black wind go with you, and ...... Your father has already mentioned the matter of your going to Longyuanmen to His Majesty, and His Majesty will remove you from the post of captain of the Wind Catching Division tomorrow morning. ”
"Hmm. Li Xiaohu agreed, and then took Wufeng to the wind catcher.
There was a cry in the mansion of the wind catcher, and Li Xuan was comforting the family members who rushed to hear the wind. Most of them are women and children, and they are grief-stricken at the moment, and Li Xiaohu can't bear to see it. This is also the reason why he has not appeared on such occasions before, and today he did not run away, after all, it was his last day at the Storm Hunt.
"Wang Chao's family hasn't come yet?" asked Li Xiaohu.
"Wang Chao is an orphan, he has not yet started a family, and he has an adoptive father who died five years ago. ”
"His funeral will be handled by the royal palace. ”
"Yes. Li Xuan is also an orphan, so he is very sympathetic to Wang Chao.
Just when Li Xiaohu and Li Xuan were discussing Wang Chao's future, Wu Feng asked, "What about the other head catcher in the wind catcher?"
"Don't say it. Li Xiaohu didn't want to mention it.
Li Xuan replied on his behalf: "He betrayed the wind catcher, the last time we escorted Lin Zhizhi to be robbed, it should be him who leaked the route." ”
"You took him down?"
"The little prince let him go, and he saved the little prince's life under Qin Han's knife today. ”
"Let it go?" Wu Feng thought thoughtfully, "Since he betrayed us, why did he want to save the little prince?"
Li Xuan continued: "Commander Wu means that he is forced by others?"
Wu Feng frowned and said, "I'm afraid that the little prince let him go, but it hurt him." ”
"What do you mean?" asked Li Xiaohu.
"What do those who coerced him think if he really committed his betrayal because he was threatened, and now we expose it, but he is not held accountable?"
"Will they think that the charter confessed to them?" Li speculated.
"Besides, if the head of the chapter catcher leaves the wind catcher, I am afraid that he will become a useless person to those people, a person who knows secrets and has no use value......" Wu Feng did not say any more.
